How to make a famous minister

Fan Xuanchao had never seen that longevity ink plant before, and Fan Xuanchao couldn't tell how beautiful it was or how precious it was.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian had no interest in these flowers and plants, he just glanced at them briefly, and praised the pure filial heart of the British public in finding this longevity ink for the old lady.Several people turned to the gazebo to talk, and their own maids brought tea, pastries, and seasonal fruits.

Although the sun was still hot in September, they sat in the gazebo by the water, surrounded by green trees, so they didn't feel the heat. Instead, they were very comfortable with the cool breeze.

The pavilion is Tang-style, with a few cushions on the wooden floor, a low table, and several people sitting around on the cushions.Zhang Zhiji was the oldest and the eldest son of a British princess, so he naturally entertained him as the host.Although the three brothers of the Zhang family hadn't had much contact with Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian knew a lot about them. One of them was eloquent, and the other was flattering, so naturally they had a good chat.

Zhu Youjian loves reading, and also loves writing inscriptions and painting. Although Ni Houzhan is not good at homework, he is especially good at calligraphy. He talks about calligraphy and writing endlessly, just like a famous artist.

Only Fan Xuanchao remained silent from the beginning to the end, or bowed his head as if drinking tea, or observed Zhu Youjian's every move from the corner of his eyes, watching the rare animals like "it doesn't matter if you notice me or not, as long as you don't tell me". Zhang Zhiji glared at him several times, but Fan Xuanchao pretended not to know.

It's like chasing stars at the airport, you only see male gods in your eyes, why would you care about those bodyguards who stop you?

Zhu Youjian knew that Fan Xuanchao was interested in him when he was in the front hall, and he hid in the crowd and stared at him. When he found out, he smiled at him indifferently, without knowing how to hide it.

Now that there are fewer people, although I know how to cover it up, it's better not to cover it up...Zhu Youjian doesn't know why he is, such an unreasonable and unruly person, he can get along without even a bit of annoyance.If it was someone from his own palace, Zhu Youjian would have asked him to drag him down long ago.Thinking of his undisguised curiosity in the front hall, Zhu Youjian smiled slightly in his heart, and asked deliberately: "Why does Mr. Fan keep looking at me?"

Fan Xuanchao really didn't expect the opponent to hit such a straight ball. Generally speaking, he didn't give the opponent room.After being stunned for a moment, he said with a hearty smile: "The student has never seen a nobleman in Tianhuang, and he was rude for a while. I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me."

Zhu Youjian didn't mean to blame him at first, but what he asked him was more of a joke, so naturally there was no apology.But seeing Fan Xuanchao being so honest, Zhu Youjian wanted to tease him again: "You are so curious when you see me. If you go to court as an official in the future, wouldn't it be disrespectful to see the emperor?"

Fan Xuanchao said: "You and the current Holy Majesty are brothers. When I see you, it is like meeting the Holy Majesty. After meeting you, even if I meet the Holy Majesty, I will not be rude. Moreover, I think His Majesty must be as kind as you." , don’t care about my disrespect in front of the imperial court.”

Zhang Zhiji frowned when he heard this.Although the current Holy Master and His Royal Highness Xin Wang are half-brothers, they are a monarch and a minister in terms of identity. It is mostly inappropriate for Fan Xuanchao to compare the two. His Highness may be implicated, and I am afraid it will lead to a catastrophe.

Zhang Zhiji was about to reprimand Fan Xuanchao, but Zhu Youjian clapped his hands and laughed loudly, saying: "You have such eloquence, even if it is really a disgrace before the imperial court, you will definitely be able to come back and coax the emperor to let you go."

After a few more chats, the little eunuch came to ask if he wanted to go back to the palace, or if he didn't leave, he might not be able to catch up with the lock of the palace gate.

Zhu Youjian said goodbye, got up and left, and bid farewell to Britain, and inevitably said a few words with the ministers who had not left before he could leave the British government.

Back in the palace, Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao's carpentry work was coming to an end. Hearing that Zhu Youjian had returned from the British government, he asked him to hear about the birthday of the old British prince today.

"Today is the birthday of the old lady of the British government. What interesting things will you encounter when you go to celebrate your birthday?" Emperor Tianqi asked. He was slightly fat, but his hands were dexterous. Holding a teacup, squinting slightly, he looks like he is relaxing and relaxing.

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "The British government has strict rules and good family management. How could something happen on the old lady's birthday? But the British government spent thousands of dollars to buy a 'Longevity Ink' plant for the old lady. I heard that Even the florist who raised this flower has been invited, just to take care of this chrysanthemum. In the future, no one will be able to buy the same longevity ink as the old lady."

For some reason, Zhu Youjian suddenly had the image of Fan Xuanchao smiling unruly at him in the crowd, and he seemed to shine among those officials who were a generation older than him.After hearing Brother Huang's question, he suddenly realized why he was so angry with Fan Xuanchao.

Fan Xuanchao's curiosity towards him was obvious, without any fakeness, let alone a hint of malice. Zhu Youjian didn't feel any invasion, so naturally he didn't feel angry.

Emperor Apocalypse laughed and said: "He can do it. You know that he has surrounded a good garden at Shichahai Guanyin Nunnery. Everyone else is a rock garden, and he is the only one. He only built one pavilion and one pavilion. Yixuan, such a big garden, bought every inch of land and every inch of gold, wasting a piece of land with excellent scenery.”

Emperor Tianqi asked again who went to pay homage to his birthday, and Zhu Youjian answered them all.Seeing that there was indeed no interesting news, Emperor Tianqi turned to talk about other state affairs news with Zhu Youjian. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy, which was a rare brotherhood in the emperor's family.

Zhu Youjian left, Fan Xuanchao and his accompanying guests should also leave, and the three Zhang Zhiji brothers had to go to the front hall to meet and see off the guests with their father. Seeing that it was getting late, Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan reckoned I went back home with my father.

Zhang Zhiji and Fan Xuanchao fell behind. Fan Xuanchao heard what he said was inappropriate. On the one hand, he felt that Zhang Zhiji was making a fuss out of a molehill, and then thought that there was no freedom of speech in this feudal society. When I seldom carefully avoid these places, I secretly remind myself to pay attention next time.

Fan Xuanchao said gratefully: "Little brother made a slip of the tongue for a while, thank you cousin for reminding me. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Xin Wang didn't care about it this time, and I will definitely be careful next time."

Zhang Zhiji usually has such a pedantic and old-fashioned appearance, and his younger brother's words of persuasion to him go in one ear and out the other.Only Fan Xuanchao was ignorant, he was intimidated by him, and after listening to his words, he sincerely thanked him. Zhang Zhiji felt like drinking a cup of hot water in winter. Brother Chao, just weigh it yourself. Don’t say these things in front of His Royal Highness Xin Wang, even if you are at home, you can’t open your mouth with your own family.”

Zhang Zhichu and Zhang Zhirang were originally talking to Ni Houzhan in front of them, but they were curious why their elder brother lagged behind them. They seemed to have something to say to Fan Xuanchao, with one ear pricked up.Hearing this, Zhang Zhichu turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Chao, my brother is like this, you don't have to take his words to heart, yours is fine."

Zhang Zhiji had said it well, but when he suddenly saw his younger brother tearing him down like this, he snorted, "Brother Chao, don't listen to him. At the beginning, he was often reprimanded by his father for not having rules."

Zhang Zhichu laughed loudly, and replied, "It's better than a Taoist master like you."

When Zhang Zhiji had never quarreled with his younger brother since he was a child, now he just turned his head away with a pale face, refusing to speak.Zhang Zhichu is used to his appearance, he just needs to be angry for a few days, and he just stands carelessly, not paying attention to it.

Fan Xuanchao looked at this, then at that, and suddenly laughed out loud.Zhang Zhirang felt a headache for these two cousins. Hearing Fan Xuanchao laugh at this time, he knew that he had something to say, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Chao, what are you laughing at?"

Fan Xuanchao tied his hands and said: "My younger brother is only six years old now, it will take a few years for him to be as stubborn as me."

After Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Zhichu heard these words, the two looked at each other and laughed together.Zhang Zhiji said: "Brother Lang is smart and cute, he will definitely not fight against you like he did at the beginning."

Zhang Zhichu just wanted to talk back habitually, but stopped abruptly, just snorted, and didn't speak.

Fan Xuanchao, Zhang Zhirang and Ni Houzhan looked at each other and smiled silently.

Several people left the garden together, feeling more intimate than when they came.
