This was Yang Fan's first visit, so he dressed up specially. According to the standards of this era, he was wearing a Sichuan brocade cotton robe, and he looked very bookish.
Except for being a little darker, his facial features are still very good-looking. Although he is only 1.75 meters and not too tall, his figure is very well-proportioned.
Yang Fan rode horses with Zhang Lida, Mo Zuo and Lu Dan to the door of Tushan's house.
Donkey Dan stepped forward and handed over his ranking.
This is the formal etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Fan first came to visit Shangguan today. From the perspective of Dongchang's system, after all, he was Tu Shanyong's subordinate.
Soon, Tu Shanyong went out to greet him personally, and opened the door wide.
Yang Fan felt relieved. Judging from Tu Shanyong's attitude, he agreed to the marriage.
Tu Shanyong was kind and helpful to Yang Fan. From an official point of view, marrying his daughter to him was the right thing to do to bring the two of them closer. Everyone knows that.
Veterans who have gone through years of political struggle all recognize one kind of alliance, that is, in-laws. This relationship is very reliable at critical moments.
This has been repeatedly proven by thousands of years of history.
Tu Shanyong took Yang Fan's hand affectionately and walked into the door.
"You did very well while I was away from Beijing. I am very pleased to see your growth. After all, you are the person I brought into Dongchang. You have done well, and my face is shining."
Tu Shanyong had a happy expression on his face.
"It is all thanks to the cultivation of adults that I have achieved some small achievements. I dare not take credit." Yang Fan quickly bowed his head and said humbly.
"Okay, okay, win without being arrogant. You have the vigor of a young man, but you don't have the frivolity and impetuousness of a young man. I'm not wrong about you. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Tushan pulled him to the study.
Tu Shan's study was heavily guarded, with more than a dozen fans, holding waist knives, vigilantly guarding the surrounding area.
Tushan only has one governor and a thousand households in Dongchang, which can be said to be lower than two people and more than a thousand people. Now that the adults of a thousand households have taken over the work of Wei Governor, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it for a long time. Tushan will have to do it sooner or later.
Upper position.
He has served since the time of Prince Xin's Palace, and he is a minister of the new dynasty. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he can live on his laurels until he retires.
Once the emperor and his courtiers, it is estimated that the person who will supervise Dongchang in the future will be Wang Chengen, the censor of rites. Yang Fan knows Wang Chengen's abilities very well. The things he has done with him are not just one or two. He is not from Tushan at all.
opponent.
From now on, this Dongchang will be completely decided by Tu Shan.
Tushan is a man who has become mature and resourceful. He is very sensitive to the changes in the situation and is very good at handling various subtle relationships. In his hands, Dongchang will not be as domineering as the nine thousand-year-old man, but will gradually become quiet and slowly...
Slowly marginalized, the less noticeable the better, returning to its original half-underground, half-secret state.
In the study room, Yang Fan reported in detail everything that happened after leaving Zunhua. Yang Fan reported in great detail, and all the details were clear. When Tu Shan heard about sensitive and critical things, he had to inquire carefully.
After finally listening to it all, I felt emotional for a long time.
"Your Majesty was born in a deep palace and grew up with the hands of a woman. He has not experienced the dangers of rivers and lakes or the calculations of temples. However, he is still young and mature. He is capable of lifting weights lightly and taking actions appropriately. He has a clear calculation of right and wrong. He acts according to the time, moves appropriately and acts according to the opportunity.
Advancing and retreating are well-founded. Forbear when it is time to be patient, seize the opportunity to strike with thunder when it is time to launch, always stay awake, aim at minimizing losses to the country and the court, and maintain stability. Gradually eradicate the Wei Eun Group, what a wise master.
"
After Yang Fan came into contact with Chongzhen during this period, he also admitted that Chongzhen was really not the king of subjugation.
He has many advantages, but he also has many shortcomings, which are even more fatal. Born in this unlucky Little Ice Age, his efforts are destined to not have a good ending.
It's just that Yang Fan won't say it out loud.
He doesn't make his opinions public about anyone.
"Your Majesty is indeed a genius. The Ming Dynasty is very lucky, and the people are very lucky." Yang Fan agreed.
Tushan is an old fox. When dealing with these people, don't be fooled by their appearance. What they really care about is profit.
The last incident at the rocky beach was actually a scam by Tushan and his daughter.
It's just that the little girl has Yang Fan in her heart and won't let anything happen to her. She will cover Yang Fan, but she also has selfish motives. She wants to catch Yang Fan in the palm of her hand.
If Yang Fan relies on her for protection, can he still escape her clutches?
Of course, her motive for doing this is that she likes Yang Fan, but the way a person does things comes naturally through habit. At this time, it depends on her heart, not the means.
But it is what it is, it speaks louder than words, that's what it is.
The two of them took money from the hundred households and asked them to clean their own butts.
So when the leader says something high-sounding, just listen to it, don’t take it too seriously. Let him say it in a colorful and impassioned way. You have to take a closer look. He has everything that should be there. Others should not have it.
Yes, see if he is missing it.
Forging iron requires one's own strength. Yang Fan never places his hopes on others.
After marrying Xiao Niangpi, Yang Fan was ready to gradually fade out of Dongchang. He would discuss this matter with Tu Shan at the appropriate time.
Why did I enter Dongchang in the first place? It was just a temporary expedient. How could I have lost my mind?
Now that I have gained the favor of the emperor, I have mastered enough profitable industries, and a large number of students I have educated. I have thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians, enough to defend myself. There is no need to be in the temple of Dongchang.
The pond is large and shallow, and there are many dogs struggling in the mud pit.
No matter who they are, Mongolian Tatars, Jiannu, Donglin, Shanxi merchants, eunuchs, Bangzi, or Japanese, just come. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be beaten by you.
Let you know what Lord Ma’s three eyes are.
After chatting about business matters, it was time to say goodbye.
But for Yang Fan, the purpose of his coming has just begun. He was a little nervous, but he still mustered up the courage and said: "Sir, I have one more thing to ask for, and I hope you will grant me your permission."
Tu Shan raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Your Majesty's daughter, Tu Shanyue, is of noble character, talented and beautiful, and is suitable for a good family. My subordinates are bold enough to propose marriage to Your Excellency, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to marry my daughter to a lower official as my wife."
Tushan smiled helplessly.
You knew this silly boy was no match for that wolf cub.
He is someone who has experienced this before. In matters of love, whoever is tempted first will lose.
But losing is also winning.
At this moment, he thought of his first wife. There are so many people in this world. Those who love him really love him. Those who don't love him really don't love him.
Since Tu Shanyue fell in love with this silly boy, everything was her fault and her fate. It’s not anyone else’s fault whether she trusts others or not in the future.
Everything is her own choice.
As a father, all he can do is fulfill her wish.
"If I don't agree with you, are you going to elope and come back with a child," Tu Shanyong said with a wry smile.
Yang Fan immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare because of my humble position."
Yang Fan said in his heart that a daughter is as good as her father. This statement is true. Tu Shanyong saw through the little girl's skin. The father and daughter are completely biological, and they are absolutely fake.
