Chapter 145: Both(2/2)
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at him deeply and said leisurely: "Forget it, I will spare you again today. I am old and Yun Wen is weak. I really need a loyal and capable minister. I will give you a favor. The rumors about Princess Jiangdu and you are already known to everyone. Since the reputation is ruined by you, it is not appropriate to marry Geng Yi again. I will betroth Princess Jiangdu to you. She is my favorite granddaughter. You have made a private life. I am unwilling to be the evil person who breaks up other people's marriages. I will order the Imperial Heaven Supervisor to choose auspicious day. You should get married quickly, so as not to make the rumors outside worse and worse, and ruin the reputation of the Tian family..."
Xiao Fan suddenly looked up and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise and joy.
He didn't expect that this trouble that had been entangled in his heart for a long time would be solved so easily and simply. He thought that Lao Zhu would kill him or exiled him for thousands of miles, and thought that he would punish him, but he did not expect that Lao Zhu was so reasonable and easily agreed to his marriage with Princess Jiangdu.
Xiao Fan secretly pinched his thighs and found that this was not a dream, but reality was more wonderful than dreaming. At this moment, he felt a sense of drifting like falling from clouds.
"Just... that's it?" Xiao Fan tried carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely and said evilly: "Do you want me to promise you a few more princesses?"
Xiao Fan was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is so generous, I am better to obey your orders than to be respectful..."
"You are arrogant!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
"Ah! I... I am guilty!"
Xiao Fan was so happy that Lao Zhu was a good person! Of course, I have to thank Zhu Yunwen even more. After Xiao Fan calmed down and thought about it, he understood Lao Zhu's intention. He did this because of Zhu Yunwen's face. Giving Princess Jiangdu to his subjects was a strategy for the emperor to win over his subjects. Zhu Yuanzhang understood his weight in Zhu Yunwen's heart. Besides, his affairs with Princess Jiangdu had already caused a lot of controversy in the capital. If he married Geng Xuan, the son of Changxing Marquis, he might be resentful to Geng Bingwen. It would be better to change Princess Jiangdu to marry Xiao Fan, so that he could marry Princess Jiangdu to the royal family, which would also be a way to ensure his loyalty to the royal family. Changxing Marquis would compensate him separately, and everyone would be happy to do so.
Xiao Fan is a little grateful to the fire in Nengren Temple now. Without that fire, things between him and the princess might not be so smooth.
"I... thank my emperor for his kindness..." Xiao Fan was so happy that he hurriedly rested to thank him.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and said, "Slowly, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Xiao Fan said in surprise: "What else?"
"I heard... you Xiao Fan already has a first wife? And you are a little beggar?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was very gentle.
Xiao Fan's whole face suddenly turned white, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Yes, I already have a first wife."
Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Princess Jiangdu married me. Are you planning to let her be a concubine?"
"Your Majesty, Princess...she doesn't mind."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case suddenly and said angrily: "But I mind! How can the royal princess be a concubine for you? Xiao Fan, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to marry a princess as a concubine? And let her be under a beggar! It's simply outrageous!"
Xiao Fan looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said in a deep voice: "What should you do with this matter?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said coldly: "Don't let your little beggar go away, I will marry the princess to you, otherwise... you don't have to marry, just go to the court and leave your head!"
Xiao Fan's mind exploded and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have a message."
"explain!"
"The first wife in my family is not a beggar, she... is the youngest daughter of King Yan and Princess Changning." Xiao Fan said gritting his teeth.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then furious: "Bold! Princess Changning died early four years ago. I received a report from King Chen of Yan four years ago. Will the dead be resurrected in four years? Xiao Fan, you are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to deceive the king!"
Xiao Fan felt despair. It was over. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it. How could he prove that what he was telling the truth? No one could help him prove it except Zhu Di, but Zhu Di hated him to the core. How could he help him?
"The wife of a slaughter will not leave the court. Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude and ask me to divorce my first wife. I dare not obey the imperial edict!" Xiao Fan said with a straitor and gritted his teeth.
"Xiao Fan! Do you dare to disobey my will?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly.
After many years, no one dared to disobey his wishes so much, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt infinite murderous intent in his heart.
There was a gust of wind in the hall, and a strong murderous intent seemed to be an invisible pair of hands, which tightly grabbed Xiao Fan's neck, making him feel difficult to breathe.
Xiao Fan tried hard to hold her up and stood up, looked straight at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said sternly: "A real man has done something, but he will not do anything. My first wife and I share weal and woe, and support each other to survive the most difficult days. Now if I leave her for glory and wealth, am I still a human being? I... dare not accept your majesty's will!"
"Princess Jiangdu, don't you marry?" Zhu Yuanzhang said sinisterly.
"Of course I have to marry me! She and I have signed up for life, and I will not marry me. She is my woman. Everyone in the capital knows this. Who else can she marry?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intent became stronger and he said gloomy: "What should you do with it?"
"Forgive me for being rude, I... I want both!"
At this moment, Xiao Fan simply took the initiative and straightened his back and said loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Xiao Fan for a while, and suddenly laughed to the sky.
After laughing for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case suddenly and shouted: "Where is the imperial guard in the brocade clothes?"
Two personal soldiers in brocade clothes walked quickly outside the hall gate and clasped their fists at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Xiao Fan and said, "Take him into the imperial prison. Without my will, no one is allowed to release him, nor is the crown prince!"
"Yes!" Jinyi's personal army responded, and then held Xiao Fan from left to right.
Xiao Fan looked desperate. Today's great joy and sorrow came too quickly and suddenly. A good happy event ended up causing rebellion between the king and the minister.
Do you regret it? Xiao Fan's heart was extremely calm. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him thousands of times, but he still answered this way.
No one in this world can separate him from Huamei, nor can he be the Supreme Emperor!
A real man dies, and if he bows his head for power and leaves his eyebrows, even if he enjoys all his wealth and glory, how is it different from a beast?
When a person lives in the world, there is always a belief that is more important than life. For Xiao Fan, the thrush is the belief that he has always insisted on. For this belief, he can die calmly.
Xiao Fan was held back by Jinyi's personal army with a determined look on his face and walked out of the hall silently.
He felt a little ironic. In the past, he used to take others to the imperial prison, but he didn't expect that he would go to the imperial prison one day. All the civil and military officials in the court understood an unwritten rule. Few people who entered the imperial prison of Jinyiwei came out alive.
Are you going to die?
Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "Don't die." He came to this world and gained friendship and love. Although it was very short, he had no regrets in his life.
At the same time, he felt a sense of resentment. Why can't a person even marry his beloved in the era of imperial power? Why can one person's words determine the life and death of the people in the world? How unfair the world is!
Xiao Fan's steps were heavy, and his resentment became deeper and deeper. The violent aura he had when he blocked the road and robbed in his previous life gradually raised his head in his heart.
I am willing to sacrifice myself for death, and the emperor will take down. Even if I can't kill you, I won't make you feel too happy. There is only one Xiao Fan in this world. Even if you kill me, you have to remember me for the rest of your life!
Xiao Fan bit his teeth, suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, walked around the dragon case and slowly walked to Xiao Fan four or five steps before standing still, saying, "Have you figured it out?"
"I didn't understand."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Xiao Fan also smiled resolutely, calmed down, and then suddenly stretched out two fingers, pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's waist from a distance, and shouted coldly, "Open!"
Even if I can't kill you, I will take your underwear again! This is Xiao Fan's idea. The sadness and helplessness of the little man, but there is a bit of unyielding resistance in the sadness, even if this kind of resistance is so powerless and weak.
Unfortunately, Xiao Fan's struggle this time did not achieve the expected results.
Under the astonished gaze of the two Jinyi soldiers beside him, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly held his waist with both hands, jumped back quickly, and held the jade belt around his waist and sneered: "Do you want to plot against me again?"
Xiao Fan was stunned: "Why did you say 're again'?"
"Last time in the imperial examination, my underwear fell off for no reason. Do you think I don't know if it was you who did it? Humph! I let you succeed once, but I won't let you succeed again!"
Xiao Fan finally was completely desperate this time, and he lowered his head to the point of depression: "Your Majesty, I really convinced you..."
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smug look, let go of the jade belt around his waist with both hands, stroked his beard and smiled.
In silence, only a cold shout sounded again: "...Open again!"
Swish!
Zhu Yuanzhang's yellow dragon underwear fell down his thighs.
The Jinyi personal army in the hall and Zhu Yuanzhang himself were stunned.
Xiao Fan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, blinked innocently, and said with sympathy: "Your Majesty must also be careful of the enemy's retaliation..."
