In the past month or so, Yan Dajian has been in a state of panic.

He didn't know how long Fang Xing's people had been to Fujian and whether they would find out the problems they had when they were officials in Fujian.

He has lived like a year for more than a month.

So he soon lost weight.

Colleagues are curious about his means to lose weight, so someone asked. Yan Dajian said that this is the price of working hard day and night.

As long as a person is busy all day, he will hardly have the chance to be fat.

Therefore, this answer has been recognized and attracted a lot of admiration.

Your majesty has not appointed a candidate for the Minister of rites, so it is obvious that Yan Dajian will not be considered again.

As a deputy minister, if you have made meritorious contributions during this period, you will naturally be ignored by the new minister.

If so, I'm sorry. It's your responsibility, and you can't run away.

Therefore, this kind of agency is the least pleasant. The officials who take over temporarily will not contribute. At most, they will watch. As long as they don't make a big basket, the rest is none of my business.

However, Yan Dajian worked conscientiously in the agency position, and was not impatient. He did not break the jar because of the failure of his official career.

What a knowledgeable person!

But why doesn't your majesty like him?

"My Lord."

Yan Dajian walked into the ceremony department and all the officials he met all the way bowed their hands in awe.

This is a state of mind.

From the human mentality, no one wants to have someone on his head.

But mentality is mentality and reality is reality.

So since it can't be avoided, it must be the best way to close your eyes.

Compared with the kind Yan Dajian, God knows what virtue the next minister is?

Therefore, everyone's sympathy and respect are from the heart.

But Yan Dajian just smiled and responded with an arched hand.

Only he himself knows why he lost weight.

Life and death is not terrible, but waiting.

Especially the unknown waiting!

That kind of suffering made his head bald, like being grabbed by a ghost. It's just covered by a hat. Others don't know.

Entering his duty room, Yan Dajian closed the door. When he turned around, the smile on his face had disappeared.

"Beast!"

Even if it was only in the morning, he was still tired as if he hadn't slept all night.

He leaned back in his chair and dozed off. As for official affairs, he would write a memorial to ask for instructions on major matters, and the officials under minor matters would deal with them.

Such inaction made everyone satisfied, so Yan Dajian got a good reputation.

But now he is anxious every day, but he doesn't show it in front of people.

He quietly leaned back in his chair, opened his eyes when someone knocked at the door, took a deep breath, squeezed out a kind smile and said, "come in."

"My lord..."

The morning passed quickly. After Yan Dajian finished his work, he went out of the door and felt like he was reborn.

He slowly went out of the etiquette department and went all the way to the street. Without going to any restaurant, he found a roadside stall and sat down. He said kindly, "five potstickers, another bowl of mutton soup and some pepper."

Someone recognized his official clothes, so the people around him inevitably admired that senior officials could also eat the kindness of roadside stalls.

Potstickers are very delicious. Now Daming's potstickers have long been played with flowers, and various flavors are optional.

The mutton soup is very rich, with a slight smell of mutton.

All the people around ate heartily, one pot paste and one mutton soup. It didn't take long for them to sweat.

A sound of hoofs came. Yan Dajian looked back and saw a disheartened cavalry rushing towards the imperial city.

"This is military intelligence."

"Oh! Could someone call from outside the Great Wall?"

"Nonsense! He's from the south. Do you want to make a circle to report? There are not enough heads to cut!"

Yan Dajian squinted slightly at the cavalry going away, then turned back and continued to eat.

When he finished eating slowly, he came out to ride in the direction of the Imperial City, but it was the cavalry who had just reported.

The exhausted cavalry went out of the city. Yan Dajian was relieved, and then walked back slowly.

The cavalry went all the way out of the city and then to fangjiazhuang.

"Where did you come from?"

The servant stopped him. The sergeant dismounted hard and said, "Jiaozhi, change people and horses all the way, just for a message."

Fang Xing was having lunch. When he saw the sergeant in the front yard, he asked, "but someone conspired?"

Jiaozhi is an unruly place. If anyone dares to rebel again, Fang wakes up and feels that there are enough people lacking overseas.

"Uncle, I have gone."

Fang woke up and looked sideways.

A servant came in and brought warm tea to the sergeant. The sergeant took two mouthfuls and drank it.

The sound of plump and plump was still in my ears. Fang woke up and remembered the little girl.

She is always a little shy, but she does things with great speed.

Fifty years

The sergeant took a piece of paper out of his arms and said, "thanks to the instructions of the chief envoy, Lord Wang, I said before I left that I would go to Beijing to see you, and I said... I'm sorry for you. I haven't fulfilled my promise of 50 years..."

Fang Xing took the paper, looked at it and said, "take a break. Fang has a letter here. Please bring it to Lord Wang when you go back."

Later he came back again, gave the letter to the sergeant, and then asked someone to take him to take a bath and change clothes.

Xie Jin and Huang Zhong both knew the alternative of the little Niang, but when they saw Fang Xing's dark face, they advised: "since she has gone, your majesty will certainly have an expression. There were both after her death, which can be regarded as sorrow and honor after her death."

Fang Xing said with a strong smile, "I know."

Later he went into the palace to ask for an audience.

He was thinking about that sentence all the way. When he saw Zhu Zhanji, he blurted out the first sentence.

"I'm dying for my country."

Zhu Zhanji didn't pay attention to xiaoniang, but Wang Delong said that Jiaozhi local women regarded xiaoniang as a God. He was ready to seal it.

"Martyrdom?"

Zhu Zhanji felt that Fang Xing was mostly nostalgic, but the word martyrdom could not be used indiscriminately.

Fang Xing said, "after I killed her husband, I saved her and told her to forgive me for working for Daming for 50 years. Then she worked hard. Wang Delong said she was just tired to death..."

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "officials in Guangxi and Yunnan have a lot of complaints about xiaoniang, saying that men are superior to women, and there are signs of subversion in the two places."

"It was only for a while."

Fang Xing can't talk to Zhu Zhanji about emancipating women and equality between men and women, otherwise Zhu Zhanji will probably think he is evil.

"And I have made indelible contributions to the stability of Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty. Your majesty, her achievements will be handed down through the ages, and even become legends in Jiaozhi and other places..."

"Legend..."

Looking at Fang Xing, Zhu Zhanji suddenly asked, "did you still think that you wanted to be a legend of Daming?"

Fang Xing said seriously, "yes, I've always wanted to be a legend of the Ming Dynasty. It's best to be immortal, but it's estimated that it will take another 300 years."

Zhu Zhanji asked, "why three hundred years?"

Fang Xing said, "because after my death, Confucianism must still be in the court, and the people are still competing with science and Confucianism, so my reputation after my death must be mixed, and I will have to wait 300 years to correct it slowly."

Zhu Zhanji said with satisfaction, "I'm glad to see that you have a clear understanding of this."

Fang Xing said: "Confucianism has been in the Central Plains for many years. From chaotang to the countryside, it is almost a divine existence. I never thought that science could leap above it in decades, and this is not appropriate, because the foundation of science is not solid."
