Yang Fan followed the old eunuch Wang Huangui. Before he had walked a few steps, Hou Junji's voice came from behind him: "My lord, please stay for now. Your Majesty has specially summoned me to come here today. Can you go together to see your Majesty?"
The old eunuch Wang Huangui nodded slightly: "Mr. Chen Guo is too polite. In that case, let's come together!"
Hou Junji is a military general who is highly valued by His Majesty Li Er, and is also a confidant of Prince Li Chengqian. Wang Huangui will certainly not refuse such a request.
What's more, with Hou Junji's status, he is definitely qualified to enter first. People like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others have already entered Tai Chi Hall.
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Seeing that Wang Huangui did not refuse, Hou Junji smiled proudly and looked at Yang Fan with provocative eyes.
The meaning is obvious, even if the emperor does not summon him immediately, he still has the ability to go in with him.
Regarding Hou Junji's childish behavior, Yang Fan smiled indifferently and ignored it.
Wang Huangui looked at Hou Junji's arrogant look, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.
He just turned to the officials who were waiting at the city gate and said, "My lords, please wait a moment. Your Majesty has ordered that you please come in after a stick of incense."
"promise!"
When we arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, there were already many people standing quietly in the hall. These people all wore purple robes and goldfish bags, and they were obviously officials of third rank or above.
These officials can be said to be a small group of top people in the court.
To a certain extent, these people represent the intricate forces of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was sitting high with a gloomy face, obviously not in a good mood.
When Yang Fan walked into the hall, so many high-ranking officials stood silently.
The calm before the storm made Yang Fan feel depressed for no reason.
He lowered his head slightly and followed closely behind the old eunuch Wang Huangui.
As for Hou Junji, who was marching together with Yang Fan, he was in high spirits.
He walked forward slowly with his chest held high and his hands behind his back. Many officials bowed and saluted as he passed by.
Obviously, these people are either on good terms with Hou Junji or support the crown prince Li Chengqian. These people are congratulating Hou Junji on his return.
Hou Junji didn't return the greeting, but nodded with a smile, without stopping. This pretense was definitely up to par.
This is status, this is aura.
It can be said that the current Hou Junji is the extremely arrogant little white monkey.
While greeting Hou Junji, these officials naturally noticed Yang Fan who was carrying a large box.
Everyone knew about the grievances between Hou Junji and Yang Fan, but now they were walking together, and they were a little surprised.
When did the relationship between these two people become so good?
What makes everyone even more curious is, why is Yang Fan carrying a big box into the Tai Chi Hall?
Do you want to take advantage of His Majesty Li Er's success in praying for rain and do some flattery on this happy day?
Ever since, everyone looked at Yang Fan with contempt.
However, these people are more concerned about schadenfreude.
Because at this time, His Majesty Li Er was having a headache because of Wei Zheng's memorial. How could he still be in the mood to look at those things that flattered the horse's beard?
Of course Yang Fan also noticed this strange atmosphere.
I even felt the contempt and gloating of several officials.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart. I had no conflicts or interactions with these old gangsters. Could it be that they were fighting for Hou Junji?
Arriving at a position closer to the main hall, Yang Fan and the others stopped directly.
His Majesty Li Er has not yet allowed him to step forward, so Yang Fan can only wait aside.
He looked back at the official standing solemnly, then stretched his neck and glanced forward.
In the front row of the main hall, Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others lined up one by one.
Even Li Jing, who had left the court, rarely appeared in the hall, and there were even some old men that Yang Fan had never seen before.
These people can stand in the first row with Changsun Wuji and others, and their status is obviously not low.
At this time, Wei Zheng was kneeling in the center of the hall. Perhaps because he had knelt for a long time, perhaps because he was a little old, his whole body was trembling slightly.
During the Tang Dynasty, it was rare to kneel down and worship. Wei Zheng's actions were obviously in conflict with His Majesty Li Er.
Thinking about it, only Wei Zheng, a smelly and tough guy, can push His Majesty Li Er to a desperate situation.
Seeing Yang Fan stop, Hou Junji also stopped and found Yang Fan looking around, so he smiled and asked: "Zhongyi Hou, don't you want to present some treasure? It just so happened that no one asked for it, why don't you offer it quickly? ?”
However, Hou Junji was secretly surprised.
Yang Fan is not completely brainless, he can actually see the tense atmosphere in the palace.
This kid was obviously afraid of getting angry, so he didn't dare to step forward.
Looking at Hou Junji who was urging him to come forward, Yang Fan knew that this guy obviously had no good intentions.
But now it is best to break this embarrassing situation by yourself, but you must pay attention to methods.
Otherwise, if the emperor is offended and everyone present is offended, then the loss outweighs the gain.
After looking at Hou Junji who was gloating over his misfortune, and then at the big box on his shoulders, Yang Fan rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea.
"Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Chen Guo, for reminding me. I almost forgot about the business. Your Majesty is eager to get this thing."
With that said, Yang Fan was carrying the box and was about to move forward, but when he passed by Hou Junji, the wooden box in his hand suddenly fell down for some reason.
Bang...hey young...
There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then Hou Junji's screams were heard, which seemed particularly miserable in the silent hall.
When everyone turned around, they saw that Hou Junji's old and heroic face was pale, and big beads of sweat were falling down, obviously he was in severe pain.
Hou Junji was seen hugging his feet with both hands and screaming in pain, while a corner of the wooden box hit Hou Junji's instep.
There were traces of blood seeping out on the ground, obviously the injury was serious.
Thinking about it, if you can hit the general Hou Junji until he screams in pain, it will at least break your muscles and bones.
Seeing this, Yang Fan said in panic: "Oh, Mr. Chen Guogong, I'm so sorry. This box is too heavy. You didn't help me along the way. I really couldn't support it anymore, so I fell..."
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Hou Junji almost vomited blood.
Along the way, Yang Fan had been carrying the box steadily, but now he suddenly couldn't hold it up and it fell down. How could it be such a coincidence?
He was sure that the bastard Yang Fan must have done this on purpose.
But this is the Tai Chi Hall after all, and the person sitting on it is His Majesty Li Er.
In order to show his masculine side, Hou Junji forced out an expression that was uglier than crying, pointed at Yang Fan and said with difficulty: "You, you... I, I... should be fine!"
At this time, Hou Junji wanted to cry but had no tears!
Today His Majesty Li Er specially summoned him here just to reuse him.
If he gets injured before taking office, wouldn't he have to go home to recuperate for a few months?
Hou Junji, who was extremely powerful, certainly did not allow this to happen.
At this point, the dumb man can only eat Coptis chinensis and swallow the bitter fruit.
Yang Fan was secretly happy, but he said seriously on his face: "Chen Guogong, if nothing is wrong, why are you shouting so loudly? I was shocked. You shouted so loudly. I thought you killed someone. However, this is also your fault. , look at me moving such a big box, why don’t you stay away from me, you are too careless!”
Hou Junji was so angry that he almost fainted!
This kid hit himself in the foot with a box, but the villain complained first, saying that his scream scared him.
Could it be that Bang Chui was blind? He didn't see that his feet were bleeding.
And if such a big box is hit hard, it will definitely break.
Now Yang Fan made sarcastic remarks, which almost made Hou Junji angry.
When other officials in the palace saw Yang Fan being so shameless, they all covered their faces and couldn't bear to look at him.
I can only sympathize with Hou Junji, who is desperate to save face and suffer.
Yang Fan is so bad!
It's no big deal to hit someone with a box and then accuse them of being careless.
However, this stick has just designed the Cui family, and now he has tricked Hou Junji again. He is simply a devil.
Even the cunning guy Hou Junji was tricked by Yang Fan time and time again, so it was better for him to stay away from this guy.
Ever since, everyone's footsteps moved involuntarily.
Obviously, this method of attracting everyone's attention was indeed effective, and His Majesty Li Er turned his attention.
Looking at the big box and Yang Fan on the ground, and then at Hou Junji who was lying on the ground crying in pain, His Majesty Li Er frowned and asked:
"This is the important place of the imperial court. How can you yell and scream casually? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? If you don't give me an explanation, you won't be lenient."
Hou Junji was about to complain, but he didn't expect Yang Fan to fall to the ground and said in panic: "Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages, and he knows everything clearly. Do you want to make decisions for minor officials?"
Hou Junji was stunned!
What's happening here?
It seems like I'm the one who got hurt, right?
You, the chief culprit, seem to have some great grievance. Is it the other way around?
For a moment, Hou Junji was confused and couldn't turn around.
But everyone present once again realized Yang Fan's shamelessness.
This kid's ability to mess around is simply superb.
If it's not necessary, would it be better not to mess with this kid?
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who had been thinking about how to admonish His Majesty Li Er, were also attracted by Yang Fan's voice.
Does this kid Yang Fan ever ask others to make decisions for him?
Invariably, everyone turned their attention to Hou Junji, who looked dull, and the big box on his feet...
Then everyone understood instantly that there must be a conflict between these two people. Regardless of who was right and who was wrong, Hou Junji must be the one who suffered.
Changsun Wuji and others took it for granted that Yang Fan was as powerful and cunning as a fox, so many people had suffered losses at his hands.
Besides, this is not the first time that Hou Junji has fallen into Yang Fan's hands. Since he doesn't know how to have a long memory, let him suffer a little.
His Majesty Li Er rested one elbow on the handle of the dragon chair and covered his face with his other hand. He felt deeply ashamed of Yang Fan, a troublemaker.
I am annoyed by the joint admonishment of these important officials in the court!
If this guy Yang Fan comes to cause trouble again, won't it cause more trouble?
Although he was very helpless, His Majesty Li Er still asked patiently: "Then tell me what's going on?"
Although His Majesty Li Er had no expression on his face, there was no trace of happiness or anger at all.
But the anger can be heard in the tone of voice.
Yang Fan's eyes twitched. The emperor was obviously very angry just now. This guy couldn't do anything about Wei Zheng, so don't let it happen to him.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan broke out in a layer of sweat on his forehead.
He has a deep understanding of His Majesty Li Er's ability to make unreasonable troubles and move trouble eastward.
Now that this guy is in a bad mood, he might as well be beaten if he doesn't get the reward even if he doesn't offer a big gift today.
So Yang Fan quickly pretended to be frightened and said: "Your Majesty, you don't blame me for this. I never wanted Your Majesty to finish the business, so I successfully prayed for rain and presented a gift to Your Majesty..."
"Unexpectedly, Chen Guogong thought that I was an eyesore carrying this big box, so he urged me to quickly give a gift to His Majesty..."
"Being urged by a big man like Chen Guogong, I couldn't help but feel nervous, so I accidentally dropped the box on his feet."
"However, fortunately with His Majesty's blessing, Chen Guogong is not seriously injured. It is really a blessing."
With that said, Yang Fan shouted to Hou Junji: "Chen Guogong, you just said it yourself, it won't hurt you at all if this box hits you. If you have any old injuries relapse, don't blame me. Now His Majesty wants to To punish me, please say something..."
Hou Junji's face turned blue, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched several times.
Looking at His Majesty Li Er who looked towards him with a questioning look on his face, he could only squeeze out a smile that looked like he was crying: "Your Majesty, what Marquis Zhongyi said is right..."
But in his heart, he was so angry that he almost pounced and strangled Yang Fan to death.
This also made Hou Jun collectively understand the pain of eating Coptis chinensis for a mute.
Seeing that none of the parties concerned was pursued, His Majesty Li Er sighed and waved his hands helplessly: "There are many affairs in the court, and I am too lazy to meddle in your business. Since Chen Guogong has returned to the court, you can first serve as General Zuo Weiwei."
"It has been more than half a year since Mr. Chen Guogong returned home to reflect. I hope he will be conscientious and cautious in his words and deeds this time around."
"As for Yang Fan, why are you carrying such a big box into Tai Chi Hall? If you don't have a valid reason, I won't slap you."
Of course His Majesty Li Er knows what is in Yang Fan’s box!
Originally, he wanted to use Yang Fan's invention as the last straw to break the family's family.
Unfortunately, early this morning, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others jointly opposed his arrest of the entire Cui family of Qinghe yesterday. This was the scene where Li Er went crazy just now.
It seems that Yang Fan's invention can only be used to divert the attention of these people.
"Your Majesty, there is an artifact invented by Wei Chen in the wooden box. It is mainly to celebrate your Majesty's success in praying for rain. Wei Chen will open it now!" Of course Yang Fan could understand Li Er's simple hint, so he hurriedly said.
With that said, he turned to Hou Junji and shouted: "Mr. Chen Guo, your Majesty has conferred upon you, why don't you get up quickly to thank him? Tsk, tsk, tsk, General Zuo Wuwei is so enviable!"
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Hou Junji's face turned green with anger!
He gritted his teeth and glared at Yang Fan, but he couldn't tell whether this guy was teasing him or sincerely blessing him.
I have to say that Yang Fan's seemingly honest expression is very confusing.
Coupled with the acting skills he had practiced as a group in his previous life, even if Hou Junji had a sharp eye, he could not tell Yang Fan's true intention for a while.
But what this bastard said was really irritating!
He used to be General Zuowei, and his status was much more respectable than General Zuowei now.
If Yang Fan hadn't impeached him for burning, killing and looting in Tubo, he wouldn't have been dismissed from the post of General Zuowei by Li Er.
Now he is just General Zuo Wuwei, what is there to be happy about?
Although he was very angry, Hou Junji still suppressed his anger and said: "I have gained His Majesty's trust and re-entrusted me with important tasks. Of course I have to thank His Majesty for His grace, but can you move this box first?"
Yang Fan held back his mouth and murmured softly: "They say Chen Guogong is brave and extraordinary. I think it is nothing more than this. He is not injured. Why don't you push a small box by yourself?"
Having said that, Yang Fan still moved the wooden box neatly.
But with such blatant ridicule, Hou Junji, who had already struggled to stand up, almost fell down again.
This kid is so angry that he won't pay for his life.
If it weren't for Tai Chi Hall, Hou Junji would have skinned Yang Fan alive!
