"We can use the secret memorials in the Imperial Censor. Taiping has contacts in the Imperial Censor. I can also..."
In an instant, Wan'er thought of a countermeasure, but before she could finish, Yang Fan interrupted, "No! This time, let me report it to the Emperor. "
Yang Fan wanted to use the power of the government, but the official procedures were too complicated. Their efficiency would inevitably be affected. And no matter which yamen was involved, it was hard to say that the matter would be so secretive that it would not be discovered. So, Yang Fan decided to personally talk to the Emperor. Dealing directly with the Emperor would be much more efficient.
Wan'er frowned. "You are a general in the army. I'm afraid it is against the rules to discuss this matter with the Emperor."
Yang Fan smiled. "It is not that I'm afraid it is against the rules. However, our Emperor is not a person who follows the rules. What are you afraid of? In the Emperor's heart, I am one of his confidants. If I talk about something that has nothing to do with me, the Emperor will not think I am overstepping my authority. Instead, he will think that I only have the Emperor in my heart. Besides, I will think of a way. I will not directly criticize or impeach anyone. "
Wan'er couldn't stop Yang Fan from saying this. But she thought about it and asked worriedly, "Then what do you say? You are a general in the Imperial Army. How could you know about Yanzhou? Once the Emperor finds out that you are particularly concerned about local affairs, I'm afraid he will be wary of you. "
Yang Fan said, "What is so difficult about that? My family has more than 30 shops... "
Before Yang Fan could finish, Wan'er cried out, "More than 30 shops! Xiao Man is that capable? She actually opened more than 10 shops? "
Yang Fan rubbed his nose and laughed dryly. "That girl... seems to be very interested in making money. I can't do anything about it."
Wan'er rolled her eyes at him. "Enough. You don't know how proud you are to have such a capable wife."
Yang Fan laughed and put his arm around her fragrant shoulder. In a gentle voice he said, "My Wan 'er, my dear wife, not only is you a female prime minister, you are also a great scholar who can weigh the world, you are equally amazing."
Wan'er shrugged her shoulders and coquettishly said, "Go! Stop flattering me! "
Yang Fan's perverted hand slid down to her plump and perky buttocks. He smiled and said, "Yes, I'll just touch it."
Wan 'er slapped his hand away. She blushed and said, "You are getting more and more daring. We are in the main hall. Don't interrupt me. Tell me what you're going to say. "
Yang Fan said, "Every year Yanzhou reports disasters, every year the Imperial Court provides relief. Other people may not necessarily care about this matter, nor do they know about it, but the Emperor must remember, right?"
Wan 'er said, "That's right. So what?"
Yang Fan said, "That's it. My family runs more than thirty shops. Among them, there is a fur shop in the North, South, and West Cities. We have always purchased fur from the North and West. If my shop's employees pass by Yanzhou and have some information, they can come back and tell me. I will then find an opportunity to tell the Emperor. How about it? Heh heh, whether Yanzhou is rich or poor, I don't know. I only want to tell the Emperor what my family has seen and heard. "
Yang Fan's words were a bit vague, but Wan 'er understood. She rolled her eyes and nodded slightly. "That's a good reason."
Yang Fan said proudly, "Of course! I won't even mention anything about Yanzhou. Do you think Pei Junma doesn't know how to submit a memorial to defend himself and let those corrupt officials slander him? By his side … cough cough, although he is inexperienced, he comes from a big family. This time he is going to Yanzhou to be the provincial governor, I don't believe the Pei family won't send a few experienced advisors to assist him. In this way, when his memorial reaches the Emperor, plus my words, won't the Emperor be suspicious? Our Emperor's paranoia has always been very serious. "
Wan 'er glanced at Yang Fan. Her eyes, which were like dots of paint, were like a little bird tilting its head to look at people. It was very cute.
Yang Fan said proudly, "What do you think?"
Wan 'er's face slowly revealed a smile that was not a smile. She said, "You're so amazing, Erlang! You didn't even move your eyes, and your lie was flawless. Tell me, have you ever lied to me? "
Yang Fan immediately shook his head and said, "No!"
Wan 'er asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Yang Fan said, "I really haven't. Because … everything you have is mine. Even you are mine. What else is there for me to lie to? "
Wan 'er smiled. At this time, she didn't care whether they were in the hall or not. She threw herself into his arms and opened her mouth with her pearly white teeth. She gently bit his shoulder. The two of them hugged each other. It was quiet for a long time. Wan 'er said softly, "Accompany me for dinner tonight."
Yang Fan hesitated and said, "But you …"
Wan 'er said, "Of the people who serve me, who can't see the relationship between you and me? Don't worry, no one will speak carelessly. "
"En!"
Yang Fan agreed and gently hugged her slender waist. Wan 'er took the opportunity to sit in his arms.
"Ah!"
Wan 'er had just sat down when she jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle. She glanced at the bulging tent under his crotch. She was angry and funny at the same time. She said, "You … can you not be so useless?"
Yang Fan said innocently, "How can you blame me for this? Who asked my Wan 'er to be as beautiful as a flower? You're out of this world. "
Wan 'er rolled her eyes at him again. She was very happy and very sweet. Which woman didn't like to be praised for their beauty, especially when the praise came from her man. Seeing him moved by her, she naturally felt very proud. Yang Fan looked at the sky and suddenly stood up. He grabbed Wan 'er's leg and walked into the inner room.
Wan 'er was shocked and said, "What are you doing?"
As they spoke, the two of them had already turned around the screen. They heard Yang Fan's voice coming from behind the screen. There was a hint of laughter in his voice. "What do you think I'm doing? Of course I'm doing what you and I love to do the most. "
Before his voice faded away, a jade belt was already placed on the screen, followed by a moon white robe.
Wan 'er's voice was a little pleading. "No. We left the palace in a hurry. I … I didn't bring any medicine."
Yang Fan said, "It's already like this. What do you think we should do?"
Wan 'er spat at him and said, "Hurry up and put away that ugly thing. You … why don't you … why don't I … "
Yang Fan said, "What? I can't hear you. "
Wan 'er said angrily, "I won't say it. You did it on purpose!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Fine, fine, fine. But … of course I have to play the flute. It's just a flute. Can it make your little Erlang submit to you wholeheartedly? Come on, my good wife. Just this once. How can there be such a coincidence … "
The two of them pulled and tugged. Half pushing and half giving, the jade flower white silk shirt was placed on the screen. Next was the scarlet silk pants. Then it was the jade lotus red lotus cheetah …
…
"The best of the two, the best of the four."
Autumn's Mount Song was mottled and mottled. The wind blew through the pines.
In the Three Yang Palace, the trees were dense, shading the sun. There were stones by the river. The mountain creeks were deep and long. The stone walls were sharp. Green leaves and yellow flowers covered the cliffs. The strange rocks looked like old men nodding their heads. Some looked like children clapping their hands. Some looked like eagles spreading their wings. Some looked like cows chewing their cud. They were of different sizes and shapes. Water flowed between the rocks.
Although autumn was beautiful, there was a sense of desolation. This was the third day of their stay at Three Yang Palace. Wu Sitian, who was already seventy-six years old, was accompanied by Zhang Yi Zhi and Zhang Changzong as they slowly walked through the mountains, rivers, and forests. Wu Zetian, who was' intelligent by nature, skilled in politics, and ambitious as high as the heavens', could not help but feel a little depressed.
In front of them, there was a dark green pond. In the pond, there was a large rock sticking out of the water. It was about twenty feet tall and ten feet wide. A person wearing a loose robe was sitting on it. He was looking down at a piece of paper. It seemed to be a letter. The wind gently ruffled his robe. It was like he was in a painting.
"Ah! It's General Yang! "
Zhang Changzong took a look and said in surprise, "This rock is very far from the shore. How did he get on it?" In the blink of an eye, they saw a bamboo raft tied to the rock. Zhang Changzong laughed, "You scared me. I thought General Yang could cross the water on a duckweed."
Wu Zetian smiled and stopped. She asked curiously, "What is he looking at? He's so engrossed."
Zhang Yizhi heard and called, "General Yang, the Saint is here."
Yang Fan seemed to be engrossed in reading on the rock. When he heard Zhang Yizhi's call, he turned his head and exclaimed. He hurriedly kept the letter and jumped onto the bamboo raft. He pushed the bamboo pole and reached the shore in no time. Dodging a few large rocks, he bowed deeply to Wu Zetian and said, "Subject Yang Fan greets the Saint."
Now that Yang Fan is the Thousand Cavalry General and the Emperor's Bodyguard, he followed the people in the palace and addressed Wu Zetian as the Saint. This is how the people in the palace address the Emperor. Those who are not close to the Emperor can only address her as Her Majesty or Emperor. Even though it is just a title, it shows the difference between them.
Wu Zetian smiled, "Yang Fan, you are so relaxed. What are you doing here?"
Yang Fan bowed and replied, "Subject is reading a letter from home and did not notice the Saint's arrival. I ask for the Saint's forgiveness."
Wu Zetian smiled and waved her hand slightly, "No problem. How is your family?"
Yang Fan said, "Thanks for the Saint's concern. My family is well! When I followed the Emperor to Sanyang Palace, I told my wife and children to hide at the Dragon's Gate. The letter said that there is less rain now. My wife plans to return to Luoyang after reading for two more days. My family is running a business. The leather goods bought from Longyou were delayed on the road due to the heavy rain. I had to brave the rain to transport them here. I'm afraid the tide has returned these days. If the water recedes, I have to quickly dry them to get rid of the moisture. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be damaged. Hehe, it is quite a big expense. If I don't look after them personally, my wife will not be at ease. "
It was rare for the Emperor to be as long-winded as Yang Fan. Other people were afraid that they would say something wrong. The Emperor would answer every question he asked, and would answer every question he asked. He would not say much, but Yang Fan seemed to be chatting with the Emperor. And Wu Zetian, who had been seeking power for her entire life, liked to listen to such trivial matters. She only smiled and nodded without any impatience.
"That lass Xiaoman is quite capable. I am the one who arranged the marriage for you. How bad can she be? " Wu Zetian had been a matchmaker once before. She was very proud, "Someone from your family went to Longyou to buy leather goods? How was it? Did you see any disasters along the way? "
Yang Fan said, "No. The Saint is wise and the four seas are at peace. Now that there is a sudden heavy rain, only the cities along the Luo River are affected. The other areas are fine. My family came back and said that from Longyou, we passed through Shuofang, Yanzhou, and Danzhou. They are all prosperous and the people live and work in peace … "
