Difficult for a son-in-law

In fact, the ancients had limited knowledge of border trade, and even Feng Jingnan was not very optimistic about the prospect of the Yun-Tibet trade that Ming Zhan insisted on opening.

I just thought that Ming Zhan would make a plan to solve the salt merchants so that the reform of the salt administration could be carried out.Invisibly, Ming Zhan got a big deal.

In Feng Jingnan's eyes, the Yanzheng Fang is the big boss and must not fall into Ming Zhan's hands.So, even though it was a disgrace, Feng Jingnan took a drastic action and made Ming Zhan a fool.

Fortunately, Ming Zhan is easy to coax. In a new city, a few paved houses have just been built, and at most two to three thousand people will be stationed in the future. Let Ming Zhan go and make a fuss, and save him from messing around with the salt administration.

Ming Zhan is satisfied with Changle's temperament, and having a new city is better than nothing.

He quickly recalled General Yang Lu. It was not the first time Yang Lu had seen Ming Zhan, but now that Ming Zhan had grown up, his eyebrows and eyes were different from when he was a child. Bend into a crescent, be more kind.However, when Yang Lu thought of the scolding in the memorial, and carefully observed Ming Zhan, he gave Ming Zhan a "smiling tiger" conclusion.

"Since the day the general left, I have been looking forward to the general for a long time." Ming Zhan shook Yang Lu's hand affectionately, and said with a smile, "Seeing him today, he is indeed majestic and majestic, and he lives up to his reputation."

Yang Lu is a rough man, he didn't have Ming Zhan's polite words, so he said indifferently, "Your Majesty's praise, how can I afford it."

"Since I said it, the general can afford it."

Ming Zhan sat down first, raised his hand to signal Yang Lu to sit down as well, and said with a smile, "The general looks rough, but he is a careful person. This time the general returned to Kunming, and the father sent you to see me first. I think the general feels uneasy. ?" Yang Lu spoke frankly, "I'm thinking about it, the son is afraid that I have something to tell my subordinates."

Ming Zhan laughed, "I'm also straight-tempered, and I like to deal with straight-tempered people the most." Yang Lu listened carefully to Ming Zhan's instructions, but Ming Zhan's voice changed, "I heard that Mrs. Yang passed away for many years, and the general loves you deeply. It hasn't been continued for many years?"

Yang Lu waved his hands again and again, his face was a little red, "Chen, I already have a son, who is worthy of the heaven and earth, and worthy of the ancestors, not to mention the minister... It's not that I don't want to marry, it's really not good to delay other girls."

Ming Zhan stared and listened intently. Seeing the embarrassment of others, he wanted to ask more and more, "What is the reason? I don't understand. The general is in the prime of his life, he has a good family background, and he comes from a talented family. It would be difficult for a girl from any family to marry the general." It's her life's blessing, so why would there be a 'delay'?" Seeing Yang Lu squeak, Ming Zhan said with a smile, "I think it's because the general is too thin to speak, so what's the problem, I'll take the place of the general. It's a matter of heart."

"No, no, no..." Yang Lu said four "no" words in a row in a hurry, his face flushed and said, "Yes, it's the minister...the minister has a hidden illness..." At the end of the sentence, General Yang Lu's face turned red. It can drip blood.

Ming Zhan chuckled, "I heard that the genius doctor Liu Panliu of our Yunnan is working as a curtain in the general's mansion. Could it be that the genius doctor Liu is helpless?"

"This... this is a persistent disease."

Ming Zhan laughed again, and the tip of General Yang Lu's face turned pale as he laughed straight away, for fear that Ming Zhan would bestow him a marriage or something.

"Speaking of which, I also met the general when I was a child," Ming Zhan said in a warm voice while holding a teacup, "At that time, the general was the head of the palace's bodyguard, and Doctor Liu even treated me when I was sick."

Liu Pan's medical skills are not bad, Ming Zhan couldn't speak when he was a child, Feng Jingnan almost invited all the famous doctors from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to see Ming Zhan's pulse one by one.Liu Pan was also among them. Relatively speaking, Liu Pan's stay was not short, and he had been prescribing and dispensing medicines for Ming Zhan for more than half a year.

A nostalgic smile appeared on Ming Zhan's face, and he said in a gentle voice, "It's been many years since I left, and it's only now that I'm lucky enough to see the general again."

Yang Lu really didn't know how to respond.

Ming Zhan didn't embarrass the honest man, he only left Yang Lu for lunch, asked about the reeling bandits, and thoughtfully said to Yang Lu, "There is nothing you can't say to others, you still have to go to the father and king to pay your respects, I will be with you." Whatever you say, you can tell your father one by one." Ming Zhan smiled, "My father and I are not suspicious people, but you are generals who are leading the army abroad, and you should pay more attention to everything than others."

Yang Ludao, "Yes, I remember the teachings."

In the evening, Feng Jingnan pretended to ask Ming Zhan how he felt about Yang Lu.

Ming Zhan said, "General Yang is very good. I heard that his son is not very old, about the same age as me."

Feng Jingnan had never heard Ming Zhan reach out to the military so nakedly, and frowned, "Zhan Jun and Qi Jing are already by your side, what are you doing with so many people?"

"That's right, Zhan Jun Qi Jing has been by my side for several years. It's better to let them go out and practice for a few years so that they can become talents." Ming Zhan said, "Father Didn’t the king say it? I have the full power to decide the affairs of the new city. Naturally, I will have the final say on the garrison of the new city from that day on. They are both very good, and the soldiers should stay in the barracks. In this situation, my father and the king may both If you don’t want them to go back and inherit their father’s career, then it’s only General Yang’s place.”

Feng Jingnan didn't speak, Zhan Jun and Qi Jing's fathers were all Feng Jingnan's favorite generals, but on the one hand they valued their fathers, Feng Jingnan didn't want to see any family mastering a certain place for a long time of military power.Ming Zhan's words touched Feng Jingnan's heart. Feng Jingnan came here for a long time without even drinking a sip of tea, and said, "Bring tea."

Ming Zhan called He Yu in.

Since the Yanzheng incident, Ming Zhan has obviously alienated Feng Jingnan, and Feng Jingnan can feel it, but he has already made up for it. Moreover, even if he is really a little dishonest, he will not bow to Ming Zhan.

It is difficult to come to a conclusion on this matter for a while, Feng Jingnan changed the subject, "Mingfei Mingya has reached the age, back then your eldest sister got married earlier than them, I was thinking, let them get married next year .”

"I have sent someone to discuss with Zanghan about your marriage with Princess Qingluan. If it goes well, it will be next spring." Feng Jingnan said, "In that case, let Ming Li send Ming Fei Mingya to the imperial capital to get married .”

"Their dowries are all ready? Didn't Mingfei just die as her fiancé, who else do she want to marry?"

"It's just another marriage."

"I see." Ming Zhan urged, "If Father has no objection, I'll tell General Yang about Zhan Jun and Qi Jing."

Ming Zhan pressed on every step, Feng Jingnan was upset for no reason, he slapped the table, "Why are you in a hurry! Let me think about it." The desire to drink tea was gone, Feng Jingnan said, "Think about it carefully , Zhan Jun and the others are not very old, and they don't have much meritorious service on weekdays. It's hard to convince the crowd when they go down suddenly. Leading troops is not as simple as you think."

"Furthermore, from Yang Lu's point of view, although he is a rough man, he is not stupid. What's more, there is Liu Pan who is three points smarter than a monkey with a hair on his side. Even if you send Zhan Jun and the others, find a name You can confess them with your head." Feng Jingnan glanced at Ming Zhan, "What can they do? Taking a step back, Yang Lu is not bad, but the elite soldiers and generals under his command are all used to him. You only divide the troops and don't generalize them, isn't it a sign that you want to separate from Yang Lu's [-] troops?"

"I know your concerns, but you have to think about it carefully." Feng Jingnan said, "That's why I said, it's not appropriate for Zhan Jun and the others to go now. If you want them to practice, the Weicheng Army in Kunming, you can do whatever you want." Any location can be arranged, and they are close to you, so you can use them conveniently if you need anything.”

Ming Zhan held his breath and did not speak.

Feng Jingnan sighed, "Next year the emperor intends to tour the south, and I will accompany him. You have to stay in Kunming City during the Jieshi. Zhan Jun and Qi Jing have followed you for a long time, so many believers, don't worry about sending them out now." put."

"When did you decide, why didn't you tell me?" Ming Zhan asked in surprise.

"The emperor is on tour, it's a secret now, I told you, you should keep your mouth tight." Feng Jingnan warned.

Ming Zhan pondered, "Even if the emperor's uncle tours the south, the chances of letting me accompany you are higher, how could he choose father?" Feng Jingnan actually didn't want Ming Zhan to hold too much power in his hands, but if Feng With Jingnan accompanying him, Ming Zhan undoubtedly got a good opportunity.Although Feng Jingqian treated him very well, no matter how you say it, Feng Jingqian and Feng Jingnan were brothers, and in terms of trust, Ming Zhan had no possibility of being compared with Feng Jingnan.

Seeing Ming Zhan being suspicious, Feng Jingnan said angrily, "The Sacred Heart is unfathomable and unfathomable! Be honest with me! If I come back, what's the matter! Just wait!"

Now that he had this letter, Ming Zhan was not in a hurry to send Zhan Jun and the others out, as Feng Jingnan said, he found a job for the two of them in the Weicheng Army and arranged for them to go down first.

But Ming Zhan met Liu Panjin again on Xuanyang Road,

Liu Pan is not too old, but the doctor is good at taking care of him. He is still no more than [-] people old, with delicate features and a big gift.

Everyone saluted and sat down, Ming Zhan said with a smile, "Dr. Liu's face remains the same after many years."

Liu Pan smiled, "His Royal Highness has changed so much that the grassroots can hardly recognize him." It's really a turn of events, no one would have imagined that the little mute back then is now the second person in the Zhennan Palace.

"That is, back then, Dr. Liu still laughed at me for being ugly, didn't he?" Ming Zhan joked, in fact, Liu Pan was not a bad person, he prescribed so many medicines for Ming Zhan, Ming Zhan was afraid of suffering, and later Dr. Liu They are all made into pills for Ming Zhan to eat.

Liu Pan was not afraid of Ming Zhan, and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness was round and strong when he was young, not as good as he is now." It's not that he thought Ming Zhan was ugly when he was a child. Very cute.The children of Feng's family were all born in pink and jade carvings, but Mingzhan's is a round and fat boy with normal eyebrows and eyes, not quite like his parents.Liu Pan was young at that time, and still had a childlike innocence. Taking advantage of the opportunity to see Ming Zhan, he would touch it from time to time, trying to determine whether Ming Zhan was Feng Jingnan's son from the bones.

The final conclusion made Liu Pan, who was very gossipy in his heart, very depressed for a while.

Now that old things are brought up, Liu Pan is a little surprised. Ming Zhan remembers things clearly at a young age, so he is a bit precocious.

Ming Zhan said with a smile, "I heard that General Yang's son did not learn martial arts from General Yang, but learned medical skills from Dr. Liu. Now he is saving lives and healing the wounded along the border between Yunzang and Tibet, and is quite praised by the people. It just so happens that I lack such a capable person. , you all know that the royal relatives of the past dynasties are most afraid of death. I am no exception," Ming Zhan said, laughing at himself, "Even though I am young, I am also afraid of death. If someone can be by my side and take care of my body, although I can't live to be a thousand years old, at least a hundred years old. To tell you the truth, I have taken a fancy to Dr. Liu's disciple."

Ming Zhan's temperament is very strange, even if most people are afraid of death, they will not say it out, but he admits it generously, which makes it difficult for Yang and Liu to refuse.

Liu Pan glanced at Yang Lu, but said nothing.Yang Lu said, "It's the dog's blessing to be honored to serve His Highness."

"Then thank you both for cutting love." Ming Zhan smiled, "I will never treat people around me badly. Don't worry, I have a good temper. I'm not difficult to get along with, and I don't have any bad habits."

In fact, Liu Pan believed these words to some extent. The few things Ming Zhan did when he returned to Zhennan Prince's Mansion benefited the people a lot, which shows that he has a good heart.Yang Zhuo has been by Ming Zhan's side for a few years, and he will be regarded as a backer in the future.The superior person thinks a lot, as long as he has no regrets, he is also a ready-made wealth.

"Speaking of which, I was relieved to receive the good news from General Yang a few days ago." Ming Zhan said confidingly, "Although I don't know exactly, but with General Yang's ability, I was trapped by a few bandits. General has his own embarrassment, I wonder if it is convenient for Fang to tell me?"

Seeing that the two were hesitant, Ming Zhan smiled, "Forget it, I know, you need to pay attention to evidence, and you are all people with status. If you have no evidence, even if you have a sense in your heart, you can't say it directly. , Otherwise, there is a suspicion of framing. However, since we have met, I want you two to know. I always trust you, if you have any difficulties, you can ask me for help, and I will do my best to help you. "

"Of course, this is also conditional." Ming Zhan said, "I hope you can restore the peace of the border, at least after the opening of my border trade market, let those smugglers and wanderers be quiet for a while. Of course , this is under the premise of ensuring your safety."

Yang Lu was silent for a while, then Fang asked, "Your Highness just want to let them be quiet for a while, don't you want to root them out?"

"It didn't happen overnight," Ming Zhan said. "Actually, no organization can compete with the national army. It's not difficult to eradicate it. It's only a matter of time before 1 people drive over. But it's just a matter of time." , I can’t do things like extermination based on my own suspicions. This kind of thing will lose people’s hearts if you do it. As long as you do it once, others will think that there is a difference between one thing and the other. They will worry about whether I will raid their homes and destroy their doors because of suspicion. Therefore, I can’t do this.”

"I think, even the two of you want to rule the country and sue the law, not someone's joy or anger." Ming Zhan smiled, and took a sip of tea, "Is that right?"

"Then again, I used to be worried about the lack of counselors around the general, but now I see Dr. Liu pouring out one of my worries." Ming Zhan glanced at Liu Pan, and said slowly, "My father admired Dr. Liu's talent back then. I want to keep Dr. Liu by my side so as to develop my talents. I don’t want Dr. Liu to belong to me, but I would rather stay by the general’s side.”

Ming Zhan used ambiguous words, Yang Lu was a bit embarrassed, but Liu Pan smiled and expressed his gratitude, clasping his fists together.

"A military general gallops across the battlefield, opening and closing, it is inevitable to be extensive." Ming Zhan said warmly, "Doctor Liu is a literati and scholar, and he is the most delicate. I thought, we can't just wait for the bandits to come. Once they come, Let's call once, and if they don't come, we'll just wait. This way we'll lose our passiveness, and I think we should follow the trend and follow the trend, so that there are reasons and proofs. It is me and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces should also feel grateful for the achievements of the two of you."

Liu Pan glanced at Yang Lu again, and Yang Lu said, "With His Highness's instruction, I am enlightened."

Ming Zhan chuckled, "I've only heard people say that the two have a tacit understanding before. There's a word to describe it, it's called 'heart to heart'." , Now that I see the truth, I believe it."

Liu Pan said, "In the future, Your Highness will always meet such a person who can connect with you."

"I hope it's as the doctor said."
