Zhang Yifan naturally reined in the horse and looked at the situation first. I thought to myself: This is in Guangzhou city, there can't be anything going on, right?
However, he has a principle that professional matters should be left to professionals.
Therefore, along the way, Qi Xiang, who was responsible for his safety, was busy doing some things, and he himself would not take the initiative to intervene.
At this time, he looked at the person blocking the road and found that he was a middle-aged man wearing a cloth robe. It could be clearly seen that he had probably worn it for some time. He seems to be well-mannered and elegant, at least he should be a scholar.
Perhaps for this reason, the two sergeants who stepped forward to ask questions did not use violence, but just asked.
The man bowed to Zhang Yifan, and then said: "This official is Fang Keqin, the new magistrate of Guangzhou Prefecture. I pay my respects to the consort and the princess!"
Upon hearing that he was the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, the two sergeants turned around to ask for instructions.
Qi Xiang was next to Zhang Yifan, waving his hand to signal his two men to step back and get out of the way.
Zhang Yifan looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he asked: "Are you Fang Keqin, the new prefect of Guangzhou? They all went to Changting to greet me, why didn't you go with them, and you were so sneaky, without official attire?" What does it mean to obey?”
"The prince-in-law came to Guangdong on business, and I didn't want to disturb you." Fang Keqin listened and said respectfully, "But the hurricane disaster in Guangdong has just passed, and the people affected by the disaster are in urgent need of treatment, but the young men at home have been requisitioned and cannot return. Please, please Prince Consort, help.”
When Zhang Yifan heard this, he said a little helplessly: "I did see the damage caused by the disaster along the way. However, Yongjia Marquis is leading the matter of recruiting people and strengthening the people. I am afraid that I am powerless and cannot help."
After hearing this, Fang Keqin quickly looked up at Zhang Yifan and said: "The young people in Xiangshan County are also included in the recruitment. In this way, the consort has the right to ask Yongjia Marquis to suspend the recruitment and continue after the disaster relief is completed."
"Oh?" Zhang Yifan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
According to the decree given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as it involves Xiangshan County, he does have the right to handle it.
But then, a problem arises.
So, Zhang Yifan stared at Fang Keqin and asked: "Others probably don't know this yet. How do you know that I have this power?"
After hearing this, Fang Keqin immediately replied: "The official came to see me before he left. His Majesty mentioned it and asked him to cooperate with the prince-in-law, but he must strictly abide by the bottom line and not use the power of the government to help Xiangshan County to achieve results! "
"..." Zhang Yifan was speechless upon hearing this.
This father-in-law is really good at calculating. I am afraid that I will abuse my power and use all the resources of Guangzhou Prefecture in Xiangshan County to show the goodness of Xiangshan County. Has he thought of such a thing?
If you send this Fang Keqin here, he must be a principled official, right?
Thinking about this, he looked at Keqin's clothes below him, and suddenly realized that he might be an official like Hai Rui. But maybe it’s not famous, otherwise why haven’t I heard of it?
He didn't know that this Fang Keqin was killed because of the empty seal case in the original history. Now, because of his butterfly effect, he not only survived, but was also sent to Guangdong as the prefect by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now, since Fang Keqin has given the solution, Zhang Yifan certainly has to do it, so he nodded and said to Fang Keqin: "In that case, that's good!"
When Fang Keqin heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately said to Zhang Yifan: "In this case, please go to Yongjiahou Military Camp as soon as possible, which is not far from the north of the city. If these young men can go home as soon as possible, the people can Suffer less as soon as possible!"
Zhang Yifan listened, nodded and said: "No problem!"
After saying that, he was about to turn his horse's head to find Zhu Liangzu.
But when he turned back, he suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and asked Fang Keqin: "If I had just been accepted by them at Changting, wouldn't you have been waiting here in vain?"
"The prince-in-law can't do that." Fang Keqin said with a confident smile after hearing this, "The lower official has heard about the prince-in-law's deeds, and when he was not the prince-in-law, he could argue with the prime minister and the grand master of the dynasty. How could he do that? Mind these local sycophants.”
"..." Zhang Yifan listened and looked at Fang Keqin without saying anything.
At the same time, I was thinking that what he said was quite elegant. He should be saying that when he was still a commoner, he dared to attack Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, right?
This Fang Keqin is a learned man!
With this thought in mind, he was ready to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, Fang Keqin bowed down again and bowed to him solemnly.
Seeing this, Zhang Yifan was a little confused and asked, "What does this mean?"
Fang Keqin stood up straight again, looked at Zhang Yifan, and said solemnly: "I was imprisoned not long ago due to the Kongyin case. I thought I was about to die soon. Thanks to your majesty's wisdom and prowess in verifying the truth, I was able to escape from prison." Disaster. The prince-in-law’s words will be kept in mind.”
Zhang Yifan understood, and he was thanking him for saving his life. This is too cryptic. If you had a lower IQ, you wouldn't be able to receive this thanks!
These scholars have art in speaking!
But, don’t like it!
Zhang Yifan thought about it, then turned around and drove away without saying anything.
………………
Not long after Zhu Liangzu returned to the military camp, Zhang Yifan came looking for him.
"What does this mean?" Zhu Xian pushed away the woman serving him beside him, then looked at Zhu Liangzu among the women and said, "Dad, do you see me?"
I just came back and was enjoying myself when I was interrupted. I was a little annoyed by this prince-in-law.
Zhu Liangzu also pushed away the woman beside him, stood up directly and said: "It is impossible for this consort to disappear. Otherwise, he can break in by himself."
"How dare he break into the important area of the military camp?" Zhu Xian had no choice but to follow him and asked a little surprised.
After hearing this, Zhu Liangzu shook his head and said, "The emperor has given him a title to walk on orders, and he can go wherever he wants except the palace. What do you think he can't break into in this military camp?"
"..." After hearing this, Zhu Xian couldn't help being dumbfounded. It was unheard of that there was such an official position.
When he came back to his senses, he found a red lip mark on his father's face, so he reminded him, and then asked doubtfully: "Dad, what does he mean by coming here? He said it loudly in front of the public, and then Are you asking for benefits in private?"
He has seen many officials like this, a hypocrite!
"This is the best!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Liangzu said without hesitation, "As long as he wants it, I will prepare a thousand guans to give him!"
At this time, the value of Ming Dynasty treasure notes had not yet depreciated, and one thousand guan was already a lot, about equal to half a year's salary of a princess.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, he can be stripped of his skin more than sixteen times.
As he spoke, he strode out, and at the same time said: "If the princess hadn't followed, a young man like this who was full of blood could have completely solved it by sending a few beauties."
Zhu Xian heard this and thought deeply.
Soon, when Zhu Liangzu saw Zhang Yifan and his entourage inside the entrance of the military camp, he laughed loudly and said: "I just met the Princess Consort. I was really thinking about it. I didn't want to meet again. Okay, please come inside and I'll send it." The best chef in Guangzhou City was invited to help the Princess Consort!"
Zhang Yifan came over. At least Zhu Liangzu had just taken the initiative to greet him, so he didn't rush in directly. Otherwise, he would have seen Zhu Liangzu hiding women in the military camp.
At this time, when he heard Zhu Liangzu's words, he said straight to the point: "Marquis Yongjia, I heard that you expanded the North City of Guangzhou and conquered the people of Xiangshan County?"
Zhu Liangzu was stunned after hearing this. Didn't he come to ask for bribes?
When he came back to his senses, he immediately replied: "There is such a thing, and I am ordered to do this..."
Of course it was impossible for him to expand Guangzhou North City privately. Of course, Zhang Yifan understood this, but after Zhu Liangzu finished speaking, he said: "Guangdong has just been hit by a hurricane. I have to let them go back to provide disaster relief first. Stop this expansion first." Let’s talk about the matter after the disaster relief is completed!”
As soon as he heard this, the smile on Zhu Liangzu's face disappeared, and he said a little unhappy: "Consort, when you come to Guangdong, I will give you face. I will greet you personally and give you a cleansing. In the end, forget it if you don't give me the favor." , you still come to hinder me from doing things, do you think this is okay? No matter what, I am also a hereditary marquis!"
After he finished speaking, he remembered Hu Weiyong's explanation, so he softened his tone and said, "How about this, how about I give you the Minzhuang from Xiangshan County?"
Zhang Yifan listened and shook his head, disagreeing.
When Zhu Liangzu saw it, his expression turned ugly, and he almost felt like having a seizure.
After all, he is the founding hero of the country, and he was killed in a bloody battle. Who is Zhang Yifan? He just married a good wife!
To be honest, deep down, he looked down on Zhang Yifan.
In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet killed any of his heroes. He had just killed a hero that Zhu Liangzu was familiar with last year. It was Liao Yongzhong who he had followed to defeat Fujian and Guangdong. The reason was that he had used Longfeng, etc. Something illegal.
Even Zhu Liangzu believed that Liao Yongzhong's death was his own fault!
As for Zhu Liangzu himself, he would definitely not do such an obviously taboo thing.
Zhang Yifan knew what Zhu Liangzu was thinking just by looking at his face. Looking back, he realized that was indeed the case. It was impossible for Zhu Liangzu to agree immediately after he said it. That would be abnormal.
So, he turned around and told Zhu Wu: "Show Marquis Yongjia his will!"
After hearing this, Zhu Wu immediately untied the package and took out Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, which gave him full authority and responsibility when it came to the Xiangshan incident.
After Zhu Liangzu understood it, his face still looked a little ugly. For him, building the city is his biggest priority, and he would definitely be reluctant to delay this matter.
So, he said to Zhang Yifan again: "My consort, I have told you that Minzhuang of Xiangshan County can be taken away by you, but if he is not Minzhuang of Xiangshan County, you can't control him. Even if he goes to the Emperor's side, it's okay for you to take him away." I am in charge!"
As he spoke, he was no longer as polite as he was at the beginning.
However, Zhang Yifan was reminded by Fang Keqin and already knew what to do. Although Zhu Liangzu still didn't agree, he was not anxious at all. He just said calmly: "Yongjiahou, I want you to stop working. This is for your own good. Please look at it." Won’t you come out?”
"What do you mean?" When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what it meant, so he asked doubtfully.
"You can't stop work! However, this is what I asked for. If anyone wants to hold you responsible for stopping work, they can blame it on me!" Zhang Yifan said eloquently, "If you don't stop work, the people will be affected by the storm. Even if you can suppress the civil uprising caused by the disaster, if this matter reaches the capital, I believe my father will not like to hear about it. Do you want my father to be unhappy?"
At this point, after a pause, he said in a very confident tone: "Do you want to make a bet with me? If my father gets involved in the matter of my suspension of work, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of it. My father You have read the emperor's decree. Even if I ask for too much, the most you can do is submit a memorial to my father, the emperor, to impeach me. But if you don't carry out the decree, it will be disobedience! Are you sure you can bear this crime?"
Speaking of being talkative, when Zhang Yifan was just a commoner, he was able to criticize the civil and military officials of the court. He was so angry with Hu Weiyong that he made the Korean Duke kneel down. Now he is just a warrior named Yongjiahou. Zhang Yifan really can't believe that he can't criticize him!
At this time, after hearing his words, Zhu Liangzu's expression changed obviously.
He will only admit this crime if he is tired of living and disobeying the decree!
Especially since he is a general in the army, he has a deep understanding of military orders, and he cannot help but disobey them whenever he wants.
Of course, if he was facing ordinary people, he might actually violate it.
In the fourth year of Hongwu's reign, when he was ordered to attack Shu, he once killed the military academy without permission.
But now, he was facing the first real prince-in-law of the dynasty, and the princess was watching from the side. When the time comes, it will naturally be self-evident whether the emperor trusts his daughter and son-in-law more or trusts him more.
In addition, Hu Weiyong also wrote to him repeatedly telling him that he must take advantage of the opportunity of the consort to come to Guangdong to win over him.
Therefore, after Zhu Liangzu's expression changed for a while, he suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, since the prince-in-law requests so, I have to give him face, then listen to the prince-in-law and stop building the city until after the storm!"
After finishing speaking, he took out a stack of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes from his arms and motioned to Zhu Wu, who was standing nearest him, to take it. At the same time, he said: "It's a shame that I have to worry about a rough man, and I won't go to the reception banquet. So, what's the point?" Just think of the money as a little thought from someone!"
At a glance, you can tell there are quite a few, certainly not a small number. Without Zhang Yifan's consent, how could Zhu Wu accept it?
So, he quickly turned to look at Zhang Yifan.
When Zhu Liangzu saw it, he forced the pile of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes into Zhu Wu's hands, and said with a smile: "We are all our own people here, and there are no outsiders, so there is no need to see outsiders!"
"Take it!" Zhang Yifan said with a smile when he saw it.
When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he was overjoyed. Once the consort has received the money, the matter assigned by the prime minister will be easier to handle.
When Zhu Wu heard Zhang Yifan's instructions, he naturally would not refuse and accepted the money.
Zhu Liangzu was so happy in his heart that when he was about to clap his hands and speak, he heard Zhang Yifan continue: "After I came to Guangdong, I will write down all my personal contacts and show them to my father later!"
"..." When Zhu Liangzu heard this, a smile suddenly froze on his face, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Pfft", Zhu Jingjing, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression.
My husband is really having fun!
When Zhu Liangzu heard the voice, he came back to his senses, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Zhang Yifan with a forced smile: "I just remembered that this money belongs to someone else."
After he finished speaking, he reached out again and took the money back from Zhu Wu's hand.
One thousand guans was not a small amount, and more importantly, he did not want Zhu Yuanzhang to see that he had given a thousand guans to the prince-in-law.
If he were a scholar, he might not be able to do something like him, where he just gave away the money and then immediately took it back. But as a martial artist, he doesn't have so many shameless things to do.
"It's okay!" Zhang Yifan comforted him immediately after hearing this.
When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if the prince-in-law didn't care.
But who would have thought, Zhang Yifan went on to say: "The account book I gave to my father will show how much money Marquis Yongjia gave. I think it was a thousand guan, and then he took back another thousand guan!"
"..." When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.
It’s not the same thing to hold the thousand coins in your hand and stuff it back into your arms, nor is it to give it back again!
At this time, he finally realized that the consort in front of him seemed to be a very powerful person. No wonder the prime minister wanted to win over him.
His son Zhu Xian, who was behind him, watched from beginning to end. Seeing his father being teased like this by the consort, he wanted to get angry, but in the end, he still didn't dare to get angry.
The person on the other side is not a real county magistrate. For example, like the Panyu County Magistrate, he can act arrogantly by relying on his military title. This is the consort, and the princess is here, who dares to mess around?
Zhang Yifan didn't really make Zhu Liangzu stand down, but just because he wanted to bargain with him just now, he treated him and made him understand that it was not easy to bargain on his side.
Therefore, after just waiting for a moment, he laughed and said: "I think Marquis Yongjia is destined, so I just made a joke, don't pay attention. Please order a shutdown immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Liangzu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, stop working immediately, stop working immediately!"
Then, when he saw the stack of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes in his hand, he hesitated again, a little unsure whether to give the money as a gift or not!
This was the first time in his life that he was so embarrassed about giving money.
In the end, Zhu Liangzu received the money in his arms, and then hurriedly ordered his son: "Quickly pass the order, stop work immediately, and everyone gathers!"
When Zhu Xian heard this, he quickly agreed and was ready to leave the camp immediately.
But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he heard Zhu Liangzu shouting to stop him again, and then said to Zhang Yifan with a smile: "I will give the order personally, personally!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yifan hurried away without waiting for him to speak.
"Husband, he is afraid of you!" When Zhu Jingjing saw it, she couldn't help but smile and whispered to Zhang Yifan.
Zhang Yifan naturally noticed it, looked at Zhu Liangzu's son who was a little uneasy, and then whispered to Zhu Jingjing: "He is afraid of our father behind us!"
