Others may not be aware of the distant sight, but what kind of cultivation level does Pang Ban have? At the second level of Xuanhai Realm, not to mention the ten or twenty feet distance between him and the emperor, he could sense who was looking at him even further away. And with his eyesight, even a mosquito's leg hair would be enough for him at this distance. You can see clearly just by thinking about it.
This was also the time when Pang Ban felt that he had received the most attention from the emperor since he ascended the throne. The banquet lasted for almost a cup of tea, and the look in his eyes was very playful, and his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Pang Ban had his own understanding and opinions about the emperor.
From the perspective of human ministers, many of the emperor's ideas were naive and extreme, not only Yang Shu, but also the late emperor Yang Jian. He always likes to distinguish people clearly, "good" and "bad". Although he doesn't blatantly label them, he really distinguishes them in his heart. This is actually a bit too taken for granted. How can we really distinguish between good guys and bad guys?
From a monk's perspective, the emperor had a strange aura that Pang Ban had always been curious about but never dared to explore. It was an aura that even if he felt it at the second level of Xuanhai Realm, he would feel a shiver in his bones. How could an emperor with ordinary or low cultivation exude such an unexpected aura?
Maybe this is a secret belonging to the royal family, or the emperor's secret. Because after the former emperor retired, the aura on his body disappeared, as if it had been transferred to the new emperor.
There was curiosity, but Pang Ban didn't dare to act on it, because every time this idea came up in his mind, he would immediately instinctively feel extremely dangerous, as if a fatal disaster would be imminent if he really did this. The monks in the Xuanhai realm have this feeling secretly, and Pang Ban does not dare to take risks.
Smart people can not only understand by just clicking, they can even figure out many things with just one look.
Pang Ban's cultivation made him like a fish jumping out of the water during this state banquet. He could see the shore and the farther direction of the river.
The emperor looked around like he was watching a play throughout the dinner, but his eyes only stayed on Pang Ban and Ye Lansheng for the longest time. What does this mean? This means that the emperor has been thinking about him, Pang Ban and Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng recently.
People often say that the person whom Pang Ban cares about will not live for more than half a month. This is really an exaggeration. Pang Ban himself thinks it is a good joke. But people who are cared about by the emperor cannot be treated as a joke. This kind of thing has two consequences, either a good thing or a bad thing.
The emperor is so special, so extreme, and there is no middle price to talk about.
Pang Ban asked himself that he had always fulfilled his duties to the royal family and never slackened off. This concept was not his own but came from his mentor, the commander of the Xuanqing Guard of the previous generation. Even to the new emperor Yang Shu, Pang Ban showed obedience, and he was very sure of his identity.
So Pang Ban didn't think it was a bad thing for the emperor to pay attention to him. On the contrary, it should be a good thing for Xuanqingwei. It's hard to say about another person who is as concerned by the emperor as him.
That person is Ye Lansheng, the left prime minister.
If others don't know the details of Yang Shu, the former seventh prince, how can Pang Ban not know it? It's just that he could only pretend not to know many things that the late emperor had told him. He is not a magnanimous person. Although he is not "not willing to take revenge overnight", he is still a person who must avenge his enemies. Do you expect your temper to change drastically after taking the throne? What about dreaming?
Before the emperor ascended the throne, Ye Lansheng was making small moves behind the scenes, and he put his own interests above those of the country. His sinister intentions meant that he would certainly die. It's just that Ye Lansheng was still thinking of luck. Relying on his identity and reputation, as well as the dirty plans behind his back, he didn't really implement them, so he felt that they were unsuccessful.
But does the emperor need to have proof if he wants to kill someone? It's not necessary at all. As long as the emperor wants to die, whoever wants to die will be able to die justifiably. As for how to be "justified", that is Xuan Qingwei's job.
"But why did you wait so long?"
Pang Ban was not polite about eating and drinking, but he was always thinking about it. According to Xuanqing Weili's judgment of the emperor's nature as a prince, people like Ye Lansheng must be hated by the emperor, and the things behind them are actually not trivial. Just forming a clique and being a private person is enough to judge the head, not to mention That insidious plot that was still aborted must have had someone who couldn't stand the torture, and it would have been enough to confiscate the entire family and exterminate the entire family.
But why was it that it was already the end of March and there was no sign of touching Ye Lansheng for four full months? This is unreasonable and not in line with the emperor's temperament.
The only explanation is that the emperor is eyeing more than one Ye Lansheng.
The state banquet lasted until Hai Zheng, and many people were a little tired. After the last song "Thunder" compiled by the late emperor was played, everyone knelt down to send off the emperor. After that, the state banquet ended and everyone Out of the palace gate. As for whether to make an appointment and go to a drinking stall is another matter, most people still choose to go back to their respective homes.
Naturally, Pang Ban had no choice but to go home. He didn't have the habit of drinking everywhere, and no one invited him. His leisure time is to go back to his small house to meditate and practice.
The next day, in the afternoon, Pang Ban summoned Jiang Cheng, who was busy running errands in the Zhen Fu Shi Yamen, to him with a greeting.
"Sir." After bowing politely, Jiang Chengcheng stood opposite and waited to listen.
"Well, you're here? Sit down."
Jiang Cheng responded quickly, but his heart suddenly became anxious. Ever since he became the governor of Jingxi Town, Da Da people have rarely been so polite to him.
Are you really being polite? That's just what Jiang Cheng thinks, but Pang Ban doesn't think so. The reason why he behaved kindly was because what he was going to say next was very important. He hoped that Jiang Cheng could handle it in the best possible state and pass this state on to Jiang Cheng's disciple.
"The reward for your disciple has also come down. The evil-killing action he carried out before can be regarded as hitting the lives of those bed bugs. Even if the direct effect is not yet visible, it is foreseeable that it will have promotion value. Therefore, the integration of black flag camps in various places should also be put on the agenda."
These were all agreed upon before, and Jiang Cheng knew it well. So he didn't interrupt and sat on the chair waiting for Pang Ban's next words.
Sure enough, Pang Ban continued: "Explain the matter clearly to Shen Hao. This is the situation in various places. You can give it to him so that he can take a look and have an idea." As he said this, Pang Ban took out a copy from the drawer. The thick document was pushed in front of Jiang Cheng. This document has been banned.
Needless to say, when Jiang Cheng saw this ban, he knew that it was not something he could see. It was estimated that only his disciple Shen Hao could open it with his waist card and soul fluctuation.
After Jiang Cheng carefully put the things back into the storage bag, Pang Ban continued: "In three days, I will call all the Sifang governors for a meeting, and you need to talk about the improvements in Jingxi over the years and highlight them. The role of the Black Flag Camp, do you understand what I mean?”
