Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 204 lingering fear
The emperor's gaze stayed on Lin Zisu's face for a moment, and he said with a half-smile, "You girl, being too smart is not a good thing."

Seeing that the emperor saw through her perfunctory, Lin Zisu immediately stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is just pretending to be smart, so don't take offense."

The emperor's mood improved instantly, and following what he said just now, he said: "Fan Zhen has two lectures, one is about the way of saints, and the other is about concubines. If I let him finish the speech, I'm afraid someone will invite you tomorrow. Let Xiao Ba be the reserve."

After listening to the emperor's explanation, combined with what Fan Zhen said today, Lin Zisu understood the emperor's concerns.

Before she had time to think about it, the emperor said it unceremoniously: "The group of people in the cabinet have been surrounding me to persuade me, but seeing that it has no effect, they use Fan Zhen's mouth to persuade me. If their wishes are fulfilled today Wishing, I may not know what will happen in the future, I don't have the time to spend with them every day!"

Lin Zisu sighed secretly, it seemed that the emperor had lingering fears about Yingzong's chaos.

Yingzong was only five years old when he succeeded to the throne. Because of his young age, he has been left behind in power.Without the emperor's deterrence, the officials fought against each other, and this led to the chaos in the world that followed.

Now that the emperor is here, he would rather leave the reserve position empty than establish a young crown prince.

Even though Xie Yao made many mistakes while supervising the country a few days ago, the emperor still wanted to give Xie Yao a chance.

However, as Xie Xi gradually grew up, Xie Yao's chances would only become less and less. When the emperor could no longer withstand the pressure of public opinion, he would naturally reconsider.

The emperor still has fantasies about Xie Yao, so he should not say anything more, Lin Zisu said: "I don't know how to govern a country, but occasionally I heard from my father that the second prince is named Wushuang, and I want to rule the country. His insights must be brilliant."

"Lin Yuanzhi still told you these things?"

The emperor became interested, and asked with a smile: "Then I would like to know, how does your father evaluate King Dun?"

Lin Zisu showed embarrassment, and said: "My father's evaluation of him, I don't think I need to tell my daughter, your Majesty knows the general idea."

The emperor laughed loudly and said, "Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he can see people's hearts after a long time. Although Xiaosi'er is a toss-up, he is a good boy just like you. I believe that in time, he will treat you well."

Hearing what the emperor said, Lin Zisu blushed a little, and said, "Mr.

The emperor also felt that it was inappropriate for him to say this, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Su Yatou, what kind of person do you think Fan Zhen is?"

Lin Zisu felt that the emperor was a little weird today, and what he said was often incoherent.

Just like when Xie Xi was mentioned first, Fan Zhen was mentioned for no reason.

This was the first time Lin Zisu had heard of Fan Zhen's name.In the previous life, from beginning to end, he had never met Fan Zhen.

However, in this life, such a person appeared without warning, and it is said that he is still a figure valued by the government and the public.

Judging from the attitude of the cabinet just now, not only Qian Minzhong respected Fan Zhen very much, Ye Quan also always showed a close attitude.

As we all know, Qian Minzhong and Ye Quan are not in the same way. They have different ways, but the goal is the same. They both want to try their best to win over Fan Zhen.

The person who can win the two court ministers desperately is not a simple person.

Lin Zisu and Fan Zhen had only been together for half an hour, so it was impossible to know Fan Zhen's nature.

The emperor asked this question, and she looked at the emperor, trying to find the answer she wanted from the emperor's expression.

The emperor looked calm, and said: "Su Yatou, just remember, there are only two and a half smart people among the princes in the court, and this Fan Zhen is one of them."

Lin Zisu was stunned immediately, she didn't expect the emperor to respect Fan Zhen so much.

While the emperor was speaking, Fan Zhen, the smart man he was talking about, had just had a conversation with Ye Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

At this time, he has hurried out of the palace gate and returned to his house in Nancheng.

This is the mansion bestowed by the emperor after Fan Zhen entered Beijing.

Although it was only a three-way house, Fan Zhen brought his eldest son to Beijing, and the rest of the family were still in their hometown in Hezhong.The small yard is big enough for father and son to live in.

After he got home, he immediately called his eldest son, Fan Qi, into the study.

"Bingqing, you have been studying at home these few days, what is the difference between the books in Beijing and the books in Hezhong?"

Fan Qi, whose name is Binqing, is 38 years old and will soon reach the age of "forty". His years of academic experience make him look a little dull.

"The river is close to the mountains and forests, the more you read, the more you look forward to the joy of clouds and water; the closer the capital is to the emperor, the more you study, the more you look forward to being appointed as a marquis."

Fan Zhen immediately raised his head and laughed until he couldn't breathe, then he stopped laughing and said, "It seems that this trip to the capital was a right bet for my father. Tell the truth, when you were in Dongyang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River When I was in office, my father called you back, but have you ever resented my father?"

"The father is far-sighted, and everything is planned for the son, and the son dare not resent."

"Don't dare? Then it seems that there is still resentment!"

Fan Zhen sighed, and said: "You were young and energetic back then, and you were really worried about being a father, so you were called back because of your mother's death."

"In the past, there were the Qian family, the Lu family, and the Tantai family in the court. Our Fan family has been in decline for many years. We don't have much leverage in cooperating with them. But it would be even more inappropriate to compete with them."

"Now that the Zhang family has arrived in the capital, the Tantai family has completely collapsed, and the court is full of turmoil. Big men move with each other. This opportunity must not be missed. You have honed enough in these years. For the sake of future generations, we father and son should come out do something."

Fan Qi agreed with his father's statement, and nodded happily.

"Today I chatted with Ye Quan and Ye Shangshu. Ye Shangshu asked about your future, so I talked to him personally. Ye Shangshu attaches great importance to you. If there is no major problem, the court will take care of you in a few days. You will be released to participate in politics as the Jiangnan chief envoy, so you should prepare yourself first."

According to Dayan's official position, the chief political envoy participates in politics from the third grade, which is second only to the chief political envoy, and is equivalent to the deputy position of the chief political envoy.

Hearing that it was sent to Jiangnan, Fan Qi's face flashed with joy, and he said, "My son, thank you for your father's recommendation."

Jiangnan has always been rich and prosperous, and it is extremely easy to achieve political achievements. The few ministers in the court today all have the experience of being officials in Jiangnan.

With this kind of experience, if you go up and move up, you will be a big official in the frontier.

Fan Qi was secretly happy, and then heard his father say: "You went to Jiangnan, and there is a person who must be recommended and reused after he takes office."

"I don't know who father is talking about?"

Fan Qi asked respectfully.

"Qingyang prefect Bi Suinan."
