Chapter 894: Start
Others may not be sensitive to the sight in the distance, but what is Pang Ban's cultivation level? At the second level of Xuanhai Realm, not to mention the distance of ten or twenty feet between him and the emperor, even if it is farther away, he can sense who is looking at him, and with his eyesight, he only needs the leg hair of a mosquito at this distance. You can see clearly if you think about it.
This is also the time when the emperor came to the throne, Pang Ban felt that he was paid the most attention by the emperor. A banquet was enough to watch him for almost a cup of tea, and his eyes were very playful, and his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
For the emperor, Pang Ban has his own understanding and views.
From the perspective of a minister, many of the emperor's ideas are naive and extreme, not only Yang Shu, but also the former emperor Yang Jian. I always like to distinguish people clearly, "good" and "bad", although I don't blatantly label them, but in my heart there is a distinction between high and low. In fact, this is a bit taken for granted. How can we clearly distinguish between good people and bad people?
From a monk's point of view, the emperor has a strange aura that Pang Ban has always been curious about but never dared to explore. It was a kind of trembling breath that would come out of his bones every time he felt it, even if he was at the second level of Xuanhai Realm. How could an ordinary or low-level emperor exude such an abrupt aura?
Perhaps this is a secret belonging to the royal family, or the emperor's secret. Because after the first emperor retreated, the aura on his body disappeared, as if it had been transferred to the new emperor.
Curiosity was there, but Pang Ban didn't dare to act on it, because every time he had this thought in his mind, he would instinctively feel extremely dangerous, as if he would be killed if he really did this. The monks in the Xuanhai Realm have this kind of feeling in the dark, and Pang Ban dare not take the risk.
A smart person can understand more than just a click, and can even figure out many things with a single look.
Pang Ban's cultivation made him feel like a fish jumping out of the water during this state banquet, seeing the shore and the further direction of the river.
The emperor looked around like watching a play during the whole dinner, but his eyes only stayed on Pang Ban and Ye Lansheng the longest. What does this mean? It means that the emperor has been preoccupied with Pang Ban and his left minister Ye Lansheng recently.
It is often said that the person whom Pang Ban cares about can't live for half a month. This is really an exaggeration, and Pang Ban himself thinks it sounds good as a joke. But people who are cared about by the emperor can't be treated as a joke. This kind of thing has two results, either a good thing or a big bad thing.
The emperor, it’s just so special, so extreme, there’s no middle price to talk about.
Pang Ban asked himself that he has always been dedicated to the royal family and never slack in the slightest. This concept is not his own but originated from his mentor, the commander of the previous generation Xuanqingwei. Even to the new emperor Yang Shu, Pang Ban showed obedience, and he was very sure of his identity.
So Pang Ban didn't think it was a bad thing for the emperor to pay attention to him, on the contrary, it should be a good thing for Xuan Qingwei. And another person who was as concerned by the emperor as him is not easy to say.
That person is Ye Lansheng, Prime Minister of the Left.
Others don't know the details of the former Seventh Prince Yang Shu, can Pang Ban not know? It's just that the first emperor explained many things, so he can only pretend not to know. That is not a magnanimous person, although it is not "no overnight revenge", but he is also a master who will avenge all grudges. Expect to change his temper after ascending the throne? Dreaming?
Before the emperor ascended the throne, Ye Lansheng made small moves behind his back, and put his own interests above the country's government. Naturally, his sinister intentions would surely lead to death. It's just that Ye Lansheng was still trying to get lucky, relying on his own identity and reputation, as well as those dirty calculations behind his back, he didn't really implement it, and felt that it was an attempt.
But if the emperor wanted to kill a person, did he need evidence? No need at all, as long as the emperor wants to die, whoever can die is justified. As for how to be "righteous and sound", that is Xuan Qingwei's errand.
"But why did you wait so long?"
Pang Ban is not polite to eat and drink, but he is always thinking about it. According to Xuanqing Weili's judgment on the nature of the emperor who was once a prince, people like Ye Lansheng must be hated by the emperor, and the things behind them are actually not small. The insidious plan that was stillborn must be someone who couldn't stand the torture tray, and it was definitely enough to ransack the family and exterminate the family.
But why is it the end of March, and there is no sign of moving Ye Lansheng for four full months? This is unreasonable, and it is not in line with the emperor's disposition.
The only explanation is that the emperor has more than one Ye Lansheng eyeing.
The state banquet lasted until Haizheng, and many people were a little tired. After the last song "Thunder" composed by the former emperor was played, the audience knelt down on their knees to send the emperor off. After that, the state banquet was over. Out of the palace gate. As for whether or not to make an appointment before going to a stall for a drink, most people still choose to go back to their respective homes.
Naturally, Pang Ban could only go home, he didn't have the habit of drinking everywhere, and no one invited him. His leisure is to go back to his small house to meditate and practice.
The next day, in the afternoon, Pang Ban summoned Jiang Cheng, who was busy with errands in the governor's yamen, to him with a greeting.
"My lord." After saluting politely, Jiang Chengcheng stood opposite and waited to listen.
"Well, here we come? Sit down."
Jiang Cheng quickly responded, but his heart was suspended. Ever since he became the Governor of Jingxi, Da Da people have rarely been so polite to him.
Are you being polite? That's just what Jiang Cheng thinks so, but Pang Ban doesn't think so. The reason for his kindness is that the next thing to say is very important. He hopes that Jiang Cheng can do it in the best state, and pass this state on to Jiang Cheng's student.
"Your disciple's version reward has also come down, and the evil action he made before can be regarded as hitting the lifeline of those bedbugs. Even if there is no direct effect for the time being, it can be foreseen that it must be of promotional value. Therefore, the integration of the black flag battalions in various places should also be put on the agenda."
These are all agreed before, and Jiang Cheng knows it well. So he didn't interrupt, and sat on the chair to wait for Pang Ban's next words.
Sure enough, Pang Ban went on to say: "You should explain the matter to Shen Hao clearly. This is the situation in various places. You can show it to him and let him have a look at it, so you can know it." After speaking, Pang Ban took out a copy from the drawer. The thick copy was pushed in front of Jiang Cheng. This document was banned.
No need to think about it, Jiang Cheng knew that this ban was not something he could see when he saw this ban. It is estimated that only his protégé, Shen Hao, could use his waist card and soul wave to open it.
After Jiang Cheng carefully put the things back into the storage bag, Pang Ban continued: "In three days, I will bring all the Sifang appeasement envoys for an interview, and you need to talk about Jingxi's improvements over the years, and at the same time highlight it. The role of the Black Flag Battalion, do you understand what I mean?"
