Difficult for a son-in-law

Ming Zhan really doesn't want to rest with Feng Jingnan, the two of them don't sleep well, and they can fight in their dreams, it's a natural mismatch.

Ming Zhan took the initiative to take a step back, "I'll sleep on the small kang by the window, my father will sleep on the bed."

Feng Jingnan didn't say anything, but there was no waitress in the room, Feng Jingnan asked for tea in the middle of the night, Ming Zhan couldn't hear Feng Jingnan calling for someone when he was sleeping, Feng Jingnan called several times, and Fang Ming Zhan woke up, covered his head with a quilt, and said vaguely, "Go to sleep, it's late at night, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

Feng Jingnan directly flew the Ruyi on the bedside to Ming Zhan's head, and Ming Zhan got up reluctantly, lit the lamp and poured tea, yawning again and again.

Feng Jingnan drank half of the cup, stared at Ming Zhan, and handed the cup back to Ming Zhan.Ming Zhan drank the rest of the tea, staggered back to the bed, breathed out gradually, and slept soundly.

Ming Zhan was fast asleep, but Feng Jingnan was concerned, thinking, now that I am still here, I have to shirk my tea, and I really dare not count on you in the future.He is still Ming Zhan's biological father, if Ming Li and the others... Feng Jingnan suffered from insomnia for half a night, and woke up with dark circles under his eyes at dawn.

The maids lightly helped Feng Jingnan dress and wash, although they tried their best to be careful, there were still voices of knowledge, and Li San also looked at Ming Zhan who was sleeping soundly on the kang with concern, for fear of waking up the little ancestor.

Feng Jingnan ignored Ming Zhan and went out to fight.

Ming Zhan didn't get up too late, curtains are not popular these days, and there are no curtains on the kang, so when the morning light breaks through the window, he wakes up.

He Yu came in with a maid to serve, and Ming Zhan drank a glass of honey water after brushing his teeth, "Where is the father?"

"My lord is boxing in the garden, and my son is going to pay his respects." Asking this way, He Yu was already bowing down to wait for his master to go to the garden.

"I didn't go to my mother's place when I came back yesterday, don't let my mother worry about it."

He Yu has been with Ming Zhan for many years, and hurriedly said, "The prince is in the garden outside, the slave will serve you first and go to greet the prince."

Ming Zhan nodded, yawned, and lacked energy.

"My lord, did you not have a good rest last night?" He Yu was one year younger than Ming Zhan, unlike other servants who bowed and humbled, the key was that Ming Zhan didn't like servile slaves who groveled.

He Yu was only one step shorter than Ming Zhan, with a straight body and a smile on his delicate face.Ming Zhan glanced at him, Baoxiang was solemn, and said earnestly, "Although I am blessed to rest in the same room with my father, as a son, it is rare for me to have the opportunity to serve my father once. I must be alert and serve at night. This is my duty. Where is it?" Dare to say a tired word?"

He Yu immediately said, "The son is really a virtuous and filial man." The Zhennan Prince's Mansion spread the word that Ming Zhan served the Zhennan King all night, and the story spread more and more widely. Many people even flattered Fengjing after hearing it. Nan all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

And Feng Jingnan's expression is worth pondering.Of course, this is something for later, so I don't need to mention it for now.

Feng Jingnan's study is located in a very grand place. It literally enters the courtyard. Feng Jingnan discusses and rests here. Because Feng Jingnan has never liked flowers and plants, he changed the garden into a small school yard, leaving only some neatly trimmed green trees around. Grass, just add some greenery.

Feng Jingnan was fighting with Li Bing, Ming Zhan didn't know martial arts, a layman watched the excitement, he only saw the majestic fists and kicks of others, much more attractive than street performers.

Although Li Bing didn't know the depth of martial arts, but given him eight guts, he didn't dare to beat Feng Jingnan's. In the end, he was defeated slightly. He stood aside and saluted Ming Zhan.

Ming Zhan nodded slightly, took a towel from the old mahogany carved tray held by the maid, and handed it to Feng Jingnan, and said with a smile, "I heard that my father is very powerful in martial arts, today is really an eye-opener."

"You understand?" Feng Jingnan took the silk handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Ming Zhan.

Ming Zhan smiled, "You just praised Ali's martial arts yesterday, and Ali was defeated by the father, so it can be inferred that the father is powerful."

Feng Jingnan ignored Ming Zhan's words, "Are you up?"

Ming Zhan smiled with his eyes bent, and said affectionately, "Why didn't the father call me, I still want to do morning exercises with you."

A kid with a hippie smile, he has a smirk in the morning.

Fengjing Nan said, "Look at how well you sleep."

Ming Zhan smiled, with a moved face, "Father is really considerate." Feng Jingnan was disgusted enough, considerate!snort!Considerate!

Feng Jingnan ignored Feng Jingnan, turned to look at Li Bing at the side, and extended the invitation with a smile, "Ali, have you had breakfast? I haven't eaten either, let's have it together."

Li Bing replied respectfully, "Thank you, Prince, for the food."

Ming Zhan changed his mind when he saw Li Bing, he was a little curious about Li Bing, can such a handsome person engage in intelligence activities?It's not that he judges people by their appearance, it's that Li Bing is too eye-catching. If he wasn't filming a TV series, who would find such an eye-catching person to steal someone's privacy?

Ming Zhan said to Feng Jingnan again, "Father, the weather is getting hotter, son, let's accompany you back to have dinner." He also gave Feng Jingnan a hand, talking and laughing with Feng Jingnan If he hadn't witnessed the father and son's sword-fighting with his own eyes yesterday, Li Bing would really have suspected that he had some kind of hallucination.

The water in Tianjia is really deep.Li Bing silently followed behind the father and son.

The breakfast was as usual rich, and neither Ming Zhan nor Feng Jingnan would wrong themselves in terms of diet.

Li Bing ate with his head depressed. Fortunately, he was handsome, and although his manners were not very refined, he was pleasing to the eye even when he opened and closed.

Ming Zhan was shocked, most of the vegetables, snacks and snacks on the table went into Li Bing's stomach, such a thin guy turned out to be a worthless person, Ming Zhan asked with concern, "Do you want more food?"

Li Bing shook his head, "Master Xie, there is no need, the subordinates are already full."

Ming Zhan asked, "How much is your monthly salary?" He glanced at Li Bing's half-worn clothes, "Is it enough for food?"

Even if Li Bing was calm, he was embarrassed for a moment when he looked at Ming Zhanguan's suspicious eyes, "It's okay."

Ming Zhan didn't say any more, he got up and said, "Father, I'm going to pay my respects to my mother."

Li Bing didn't expect that the question and answer between him and Ming Zhan would cause a little turmoil in the officialdom.

These days, the salary of an official is really not high.

According to Ming Zhan's investigation, although it has been a hundred years since the founding of the country, officials' salaries are still issued according to the standards of the Taizu period.

During the reign of Taizu, the country had just been established, and the old and new dynasties alternated.For example, at that time it cost [-] or [-] yuan to buy a catty of meat, but now it has risen to [-] yuan. Inflation and prices have soared, but the salaries of officials have not moved.

Of course, everyone worked hard to be an official.

It is not uncommon for an upright official to make a living. For example, the famous Zuodu Censor Lin in the court today is famous for his two-sleeved style, and it is not one or two who give him gifts.This person is simple in nature, he doesn't eat oil and salt, he is a different kind in the court, and he is called a ghost.

After Ming Zhan greeted his mother, he went back to his courtyard and ordered Fan Wei and Feng Zhi to come over.These two people are worried about Ming Zhan.

Li Cheng came out yesterday. Everyone admired Ming Zhan's courageous behavior. Although Feng Jingnan is Ming Zhan's biological father, considering that the relationship between father and son has always been tense, if the This matter has planted a rift, how can I have to pay for it.

Seeing He Yu's invitation, Fan Wei and Feng Zhi hurried over.Seeing the faint black bruise on the corner of Ming Zhan's lips, both of them felt a little bit uncomfortable.

The king worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the king humiliates his ministers to death.

In many cases, the interests of the ruler and ministers are in the same direction.

"This is A Li, Li Bing," Ming Zhan first introduced the newcomers, pointing to Fan Wei and Feng Zhi, and said to Li Bing, "A Li, since my father asked you to follow me. You have to stand by my side."

Ming Zhan was so frank, but Li Bing was surprised, "Yes, this subordinate will be loyal to your son."

Ming Zhan pointed to the chair and motioned them to sit down.

He has always been afraid of heat, there is an ice basin in the study, the sun is scorching hot outside, but inside he does not feel the slightest heat, Ming Zhan said warmly, "Now the weather is getting hotter, I think, adults in the court have ice respects or something, You are humble and low-ranking, and because of me, it is not easy to reach out to others. I should understand your difficulties. It just so happens that the father entrusted me to take care of the property of the imperial capital. I thought, June, July, and August are all How about getting a double salary every month in the hot days of dog days as summer expenses?"

Fan Wei thought about it, Ming Zhan had just taken over the property of the imperial capital, so he wanted to show favor, but...Fan Wei asked softly, "I don't know who the prince wants to reward?"

"All those who have official ranks are rewarded. In addition, like Li Cheng and He Yu, they have worked hard to serve me closely. We must not forget them." Ming Zhan said softly.

No one thinks money is biting his hand, Fan Wei said, "The prince always thinks of his subordinates, and it is really a blessing for the subordinates to meet a master like the prince. It's just that the adults around the prince, as well as the second and third sons Besides, they are all in the same mansion, and there are quite respectable servants in the inner courtyard, if the prince doesn't reward them all, it will be easy to be suspicious."

Ming Zhan looked at Li Bing, "A Li, what do you think?"

Li Bing said, "This subordinate is good at being a guard, but I don't quite understand that. The prince wants to give money, and this subordinate also feels happy in his heart."

Ming Zhan said with a smile, "A Li is telling the truth. If so, then let's reward it together. This is a common practice, and it happens every year."

Concubine Xiang's bamboo couch, Ming Zhan held a scroll in her hand, and lay on her side, with two little maids beside her holding round fans and fanning the ice basin.The cool breeze is fragrant, and the whole room can smell the needle drop quietly.

Fan Wei went and came back, Ming Zhan seemed to be expecting it, waved his hand, and the girls bowed and left the study.

"Sit down, what's the matter, tell me?"

"Your Majesty, what you said just now does not feel right to my subordinates." Fan Wei sat in a side chair, and seeing Ming Zhan listening attentively, he continued, "My Majesty is thinking of my subordinates, but This matter, the subordinates always feel that it is not rigorous enough. As the son said, the subordinates have been rewarded, and the servants around the prince have also been rewarded, but the prince's servants are not just the few who followed the imperial capital. Do you want to reward your subordinates? If it is true what the son said, the rules and regulations, the expenses of officials big and small will be a lot of money. This is not a trivial matter. Moreover, Yunnan and the imperial capital have always been closely connected, and we in Yunnan have rewarded summer money Do you want the emperor to reward you? My son also knows that this year's salt class is in a downturn, money must be tight, and the emperor has always treated you close, so you are not embarrassing the emperor by doing this?"

Ming Zhan smiled, "Why should I be so thoughtful?"

"Fan Wei, you are fine." Ming Zhan sat up, looked at Fan Wei, and said softly, "You really think about me. However, you didn't say anything. Now that my father is still here, I am so recruiting." Will my father think too much about giving money to my eyes?"

Then you...Fan Wei is puzzled.

"Since ancient times, the 'second-in-command' is the most difficult to do, especially like me. I am afraid of being taboo. If there is nothing outstanding, it will make others suspicious and restless." Ming Zhan picked up a crystal grape and said warmly, "So, this Although the starting point is good, it cannot be comprehensive.”

"Too comprehensive will lose room. Only with good intentions but lack of means can I be in line with my current identity."

Fan Wei said, "The son intends to leave room for the prince."

"Both for him and for me."

Ordinary people naturally hope that their heirs will be able to grow out of blue. That is because ordinary people have countless room for advancement. If you are a county magistrate, you want to know the state; Yes, to be the prime minister, the grave has been buried up to the neck.

But it's different in the Tian family, the prince goes one step further and becomes the emperor.

This step is difficult to achieve.

Ming Zhan has made a big step forward from the son of the Zhennan Prince's mansion to the eldest son, but it is not so easy to go from the eldest son to the Zhennan king.

A chair can only sit one person.

Feng Jingnan has been sitting on this chair for many years, Ming Zhan has no advantage other than being younger than him.

To put it bluntly, according to Feng Jingnan's body, it would be no problem to sit for another 30 years, but at that time, Ming Zhan was close to his destiny.

Furthermore, Ming Zhan felt that he might not be able to bear that time.He and Feng Jingnan are really not at odds.

He couldn't bear Feng Jingnan, and compared his heart to heart, probably Feng Jingnan treated him the same way.

Ming Zhan had to do something, but he couldn't make Feng Jingnan too jealous... How could Feng Jingnan let him buy people's hearts so easily?Rather than letting Feng Jingnan resort to any means to suppress him, it is better to leave a ready-made opening for Feng Jingnan to let Feng Jingnan vent his anger.

Ming Zhan acted vigorously and resolutely.

The cash is in the treasury, but it took a lot of work.

As soon as this order came out, the entire family rejoiced.It's not uncommon for people with names and surnames to get double money. When the master is happy, there is always a reward.

The key is Ming Zhan's words: This is an example, every year.

What does this mean? It means working twelve months a year, but receiving fifteen months' salary.

Who is not happy?

This will also buy people's hearts!Feng Jingnan just had some thoughts in his heart, and now there is really no one to complain about!The people around him were also included in the rewards. Although they only rewarded a month's salary, they received Ming Zhan's silver and received real benefits. Who would explain that Zhan is not good?

Even at the beginning, Feng Jingnan heard about the rumors and didn't say anything to stop it.

In this matter, the beneficiaries are not one or two... Sometimes, the superiors have to obey the general trend.

Therefore, not only did Feng Jingnan not blame Ming Zhan, but he praised Ming Zhan greatly, gnashing his teeth in his heart and rewarding Ming Zhan with a lot of good things.

This bastard, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place!Why should I be soft-hearted and give the imperial capital property to this bastard!

After all, Feng Jingnan is a piece of old ginger. He took Ming Zhan's hand and smiled at his subordinates, "Ming Zhan is old now, and he has thought carefully about everything." He looked at Ming Zhan with a smile, and said kindly, "Only you have a few You should save the two pieces of silver by yourself. This silver comes from the king’s inner treasury. You have to learn to be an errand, and now this errand, I will entrust it to you, and let your second brother handle it with you, brother If you work together, your benefits will cut through gold." How can a good man let a bastard do everything?Not only that, Mingyi is now overly terrified and has been ill for a few days, Feng Jingnan tossed people half to death, and he wouldn't really scare Mingyi to death and beat a sweet jujube with a stick.

In just a few words, Feng Jingnan took most of Ming Zhan's achievements, and introduced Ming Yi to Ming Zhan's fruit.

What Ming Zhan follows is that he should always leave three points for Feng Jingnan.

In fact, Feng Jingnan's internal treasury was far away in Yunnan, how could he take out the money now, it was still taken from the imperial capital's treasury; moreover, Feng Jingnan never mentioned the matter of returning it.

It's not that Ming Zhan didn't get benefits, everyone knew that this matter was first mentioned by the prince, and people were also grateful to Ming Zhan in their hearts.

However, because the money was rewarded in the name of Feng Jingnan, and Mingyi was mixed in, Ming Zhan's effect of buying people's hearts was greatly reduced.

Feng Jingnan was a little displeased with this effect, so he beat Ming Zhan and said, "In the future, use your brain when doing things, and it won't be conspicuous for you to reward Fan Wei, but Wen Zhou and Zizheng are all my subordinates. If you reward them, do you want to reward those in Yunnan?"

Ming Zhan made it difficult... After a long silence, Fang said slowly, "If the father says rewards, he will reward them, and if he doesn't reward them, he won't reward them. I don't understand these things."

"You don't understand now?" Feng Jingnan nodded, "It's better to be more thoughtful in the future."

"understood."
