Chapter 2303 Worry, Great Victory
After a sound of breaking porcelain, the two people screamed.
The plate needs to be swung, just like the flying saucer that Fang Xing took them to play with back then, and then it will be very lethal.
Tudou was a good player at flying saucer, so he swung the two plates out and hit them heavily on their faces.
Most of the people in the lobby disagreed, and even the servants of the British Duke's Palace whispered: "The eldest young master is very capable of doing things, but in our house, the Duke of the country said that we must be reasonable and well-founded, and my uncle is also known as magnanimous. The eldest young master looks like this You haven’t learned it yet!”
Fang Er was a little embarrassed, but he did not agree with this view: "Our eldest young master has both civil and military skills. His Highness the King of Han wants to take him as his disciple, so he has to rob him."
Is that because the relationship between King Han and Fang Xing is good?
The servant of the British government was a little disapproving, but the potato over there was about to talk, so he listened hurriedly and carefully, preparing to report when he got back.
Tudou still cupped his hands and said loudly: "You two are talking arrogantly and talking about my father. I took action just because I was angry for a moment, but I forgot my father's teachings not to be impulsive. Let's let this matter go. If you two are unwilling, after reporting to the official, I will naturally go to the government to reply.”
After saying that, he looked around and then left the lobby.
Is he actually soft?
The ‘guests’ in the lobby were a little surprised.
After all, Fang Xing has a reputation for magnanimity. As his eldest son, when Fang Xing was slandered behind his back, you actually acted softly?
There was a buzzing sound, and someone's voice was louder.
"Bo Xinghe is afraid that he will have no successor!"
The group of people were either secretly excited or unable to hide their sneers as they watched Tudou go out.
The young man strode out, and suddenly more than ten people appeared outside the gate. They were all big men, some with bulging bags on their waists, obviously carrying weapons.
These big men glanced at the lobby, paused for a moment at the two men who had stopped screaming, and then mounted their horses and left surrounded by Tudou.
The two people were stunned for a moment.
Needless to say, the people outside the door must be a mix of servants from the Fang family and guards from the Han Palace.
What would be the consequences if they were targeted?
The two people quickly threw the treasure money on the table, and ran away without caring about the change.
"run?"
Fang Er asked with a ferocious smile: "Are you going or not?"
Tudou said that the matter would be over, but he also said something about the government.
This is just an official decision!
As for privately, I'm sorry, those two people will have to shed their skins even if they don't die.
Fang Er and the servant left, and the hall was quiet for a long time. The last person broke the silence and said, "Uncle Xinghe is not at home. This young uncle is first hard and then soft, and then first in public and then in private. I admire you!"
Everyone was awestruck. Many people were originally planning to instigate them again in a few days, but now it seems that they can no longer do so.
Only a few diners were sneering, and they probably had a deep hatred for the Fang family.
…
"...Fang Han said he was willing to go to the government to settle the matter, and that's the end of it."
Zhu Zhanji became more and more calm and dignified, not angry but confident.
There was a smile in his eyes and he asked: "What about those two people?"
"Run away, run very fast."
Zhu Zhanji did not avoid several important ministers, so everyone smiled after hearing this.
Yang Rong said: "Your Majesty, those are just small tricks, but Fang Han handled them well, which shows that he is a handsome young man. If he manages it well in the future, Your Majesty, there will be one more useful minister in the court!"
When Zhu Zhanji saw Jin Youzi and others' expressions froze slightly, he said, "It's just child's play for children to say how to deal with it properly."
The bitterness in Jin Youzi's eyes became even stronger.
If Zhu Zhanji praises Tudou, everyone will laugh and lift the sedan chair, so this matter will naturally have no influence.
But Zhu Zhanji regarded Tudou as a child. This...
Jin Youzi remembered that the emperor had scolded the grandson of a powerful person a few days ago, saying that he was rude. But that kid is only half a year older than Tudou!
This topic was just passed by, Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xia from the Ministry of Revenue complained to the minister yesterday.
I don’t know what will happen if the navy goes to sea. If it goes well, then the Ministry of Revenue will start preparing supplies for the next sea voyage..."
This topic suppressed all the grievances, and even Yang Pu looked worried.
The Ming Dynasty is like a scorching sun at this moment, and its momentum is very strong.
But all of this requires a stable external environment, otherwise once the external environment changes drastically, all of this will be just flowers blooming in brocade, burning oil cooking in flames, and ultimately just flowers in the water and the moon in the well.
Zhu Zhanji showed a rare smile and said: "Navy... I still remember that they all said that the Ming Navy is invincible in the world, I firmly believe it."
Yes, both Zheng He and Fang Xing were full of praise for the Ming Navy. Hong Bao's lone and heroic trip to the West with a small fleet of boats made this understanding deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But after all, it’s just acquaintance!
As time went by, Tudou had lunch at Qinlou every day and became more and more peaceful.
The fast horses sent by the Central Government to the south to obtain information have already set off, but the longer time passes, the more uneasy everyone feels.
This is like Song Taizong's Northern Expedition, which made people uneasy and panicked.
The result was a huge defeat. From then on, the Song Dynasty was in a state of decline. Facing the evil neighbors in the north, it began to act like a grandson and offered benefits every year in exchange for peace.
Every day, the Ministry of War and other ministries, including the palace, are paying attention to the news coming from the south, but every time it has nothing to do with the Navy.
Gradually, the atmosphere became tense.
From south to north, whether officials or gentry, whether literati or common people, everyone is waiting for news.
From the initial indifference, to the fermentation of various gossips, the navy has become the most popular topic in the Ming Dynasty.
Merchants are the most worried, second only to the important officials in the court.
They are worried that after the navy is defeated, the Ming Dynasty will block the coastline.
The common people are worried that the war will be rekindled. There are many gossips in the market that say that the Taixi people and the Harley meat fans are in the same group and they are ready to advance by land and sea.
Such people who make trouble will naturally be arrested and interrogated by the Jinyiwei, but the worries still exist.
In Zhuozhou, on a hot summer day, Fang Hongzhong took Zhuzhu to eat an ice bowl outside and then prepared to go home.
But Zhuzhu said that the sun was too strong and she had to hide.
This was because he was worried that he could not stand the sun. Fang Hongzhong felt relieved and asked for another ice bowl, but he only let Zhuzhu eat half of it, saying that he was afraid of stomachache.
The shopkeeper saw that their grandparents were interesting, so he smiled and said some compliments.
Fang Hongzhong was in a bad mood because there was a rumor in the market that Fang Xing was defeated and the navy was defeated, so he came out in the hot sun today.
The Fang family in Zhuozhou has become dazzling since Fang Xing came last time, and the carriage and knights who will come to pick up Zhuzhu after a while prove the closeness of the two sides.
So when rumors are spreading, all kinds of faces and mouths are revealed.
The shopkeeper just smiled and talked nonsense with Fang Hongzhong. Whether the Fang family is unlucky or not has nothing to do with him, so he is happy to watch the capsize on the Yellow Crane Tower.
"Grandfather, you eat."
Zhuzhu has seen a lot of things in the Fang family in the capital, so her manners are much more generous.
Fang Hongzhong's anxiety was relieved a little, and he said, "You eat yours, and come back..."
The shopkeeper thought he was reluctant to spend money, so he sneered in his heart, thinking that he was still a relative of Xinghebo. He was so stingy that he was probably worried that Xinghebo would be implicated if he was defeated and collapsed.
The air seemed to be frozen, and the heat was everywhere, making people breathless.
Fang Hongzhong couldn't bear to let his granddaughter be exposed to the sun, so he asked the shopkeeper to buy a bamboo hat for Zhuzhu to wear. After paying the bill, he went out.
"Alas! It's glorious in front of people, but life is also hard!"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from outside.
Along with the sound of horse hooves, there were hoarse shouts.
"Great victory! Great victory of the navy!"
The shopkeeper was startled and ran out in a hurry.
A team of cavalry was galloping on the street. They were soldiers reporting victory.
Everyone was hiding on both sides. The shopkeeper saw Fang Hongzhong and his grandchildren who were not far away. They were happy.
"Grandfather, uncle won!"
Zhuzhu clapped her hands happily, and her joy was pure.
Fang Hongzhong's body relaxed a little, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. He coughed hard, then spat on the ground, held his head high and led Zhuzhu home.
