379. Donglin Party Member Zhou Zifan [1/2]

Yi Yun waved his hand pretentiously: "Yeah, comrades." He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. While he was thinking, a sound of praise was already heard on the dock, and countless civil servants came up and flattered him.

"The prince is majestic and domineering!"

"The prince is striking all over the world!"

"Prince, the lower official has compiled a letter to the court to ask for your merits."

"Your Majesty, you're promoted this time... Uh... No, the prince seems to be the emperor and cannot be promoted."

The officials kept flattering, and Yi Yun was upset when he heard it. He didn't want these guys to flatter him. Instead, standing behind the officials, the reactions of the overwhelming people made Yi Yun more relieved.

The people did not say anything stingy and unwilling to their will like officials. They just laughed loudly on the outside, and their faces were sincere joy. The invaders were driven away, and for these coastal people, they would not be poisoned by the war, so they were truly happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Yi Yun thought to himself: What I did is worth it, at least I did practical things for the people.

At this time, a civil servant suddenly walked out quickly in the crowd. The civil servant looked very thin. Judging from the robe, he seemed to be a senior official of the Hanlin Academy, such as the bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy. However, except for this robe, he was a little shabby in other places. His shoes were very low-end soft-soled cloth shoes. The shirt cuffs inside the robe could be patched, which looked quite poor. Usually, officials dressed like this were all honest officials who were clean and honest, not corrupt, and did not eat any snatches.

The man walked to the front and bowed to Yi Yun. He made full etiquette first. It seemed that he was still a very etiquette guy. Then he shouted: "Your Majesty is polite, and the lower-ranking official Zhou Zifan, I have something to ask for advice."

"Oh?" Yi Yun felt a little surprised, what is this person looking for me?

Zhou Zifan continued, "I heard that the prince had seen the emperor on the sea and asked the emperor to stamp a radish seal. That means, the prince knew the emperor's whereabouts, and asked the prince to inform the emperor of his whereabouts... The country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince must go to the sea and find the emperor back."

Yi Yun's head hurts. This is really a troublesome problem. He doesn't want Zhu Qingqing to return to the imperial capital. If she goes back, she will lose control over her. Not only will she be instigated by the fools of the eunuchs and the Donglin Party to do some stupid things. The ideal situation is to control her in his own hands, but... if you keep this in hiding this, someone will come to you, just like Zhou Zifan in front of you.

Yi Yun was about to put on the airs of a prince and asked Zhou Zifan to meddle in other people's business...

At this time, someone came over to Yi Yun. It turned out to be the thirty-two father-in-law. He whispered in Yi Yun's ear: "Prince, this Zhou Zifan is a member of the Donglin Party. It is said that he is a famous official. His family is so poor that his door is broken that he has no money to repair it. He is not greedy or take the people's penny. He is fair in the judgment of the case and is not afraid of power. His reputation in the Jiangnan area is very good. All the people support him very much. If you act ignorant of him or ask him not to meddle in other people's business, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people and will affect your reputation."

"Shenma?" Yi Yun Dahan: "There are such people in the world? Officials who are not corrupt? Officials who are not afraid of power? Officials who are just in the case? Is it a bullshit?"

The 32nd father-in-law also sweated: "It's indeed a bit incredible. But it's because he is very special and is the only one in the world. Therefore, in the eyes of the people, he is a Qing official who is rare in a thousand years. He has a very high influence among the people. It really responds to him. As long as he comes forward, the people from all over the south of Jiangnan support him. Every time he comes forward and quarrels with our eunuch party, we can only retreat and cannot afford to offend him, so as not to lose a bad image among the people."

"Damn, your eunuch party has a nonsense image!" Yi Yun kicked the thirty-two father-in-law away: "The eunuch party's image in the folk is to embezzle and accept bribes, bully men and women, and there is no good look."

After kicking the thirty-two father-in-law a few times, Yi Yun turned around and began to think about how to deal with Zhou Zifan. If he was a confused prince, he would not be afraid of anything like public opinion, but he was not confused. In this era, no one knows how powerful the people are than those who come later. Yi Yun does not want to be enemies with the people in Jiangnan. This is a way to die.

"Mr. Zhou is it?" Yi Yun said with a smile.

"The official position is small, but he is just the right censor. The prince doesn't have to call me Lord Zhou, just call me Zifan."

"The Right Censor? What's the matter?" Yi Yun was completely disgusted with the messy official position of the Dameng Kingdom.

The 32nd father-in-law quickly introduced: "The Right Censor is a fourth-rank civil servant, under the management of the Censorate, and the Censorate is a supervisory department directly under the emperor, in charge of the inspection work of officials all over the world... "

Yi Yun immediately understood that this was the later Discipline Inspection Commission, which specialized in managing the discipline of officials and other things.

"I did see the Emperor..." Yi Yun lied without blushing, "But after the emperor stamped me, he continued to play on the boat. I don't know where she is now."

"You are lying!" Zhou Zifan said loudly: "You sailed east from Macau and turned back in two days. You will have the documents stamped by the emperor in your hand. The sea is vast, so it is so difficult to find someone. It took you only two days to find the emperor and come back. There must be a problem in the middle."

"This is total luck!" Yi Yun hummed, "I drove east for a day and suddenly I met the emperor."

"I don't believe that there is such luck in the world." As soon as Zhou Zifan finished speaking, the people on the dock really said, "Zhou Qingtian's words are reasonable. There is no such luck in the world, and we don't believe it either."

This person's influence among the people is really extraordinary. Although Yi Yun has done something for the people, his reputation is still far inferior to Zhou Zifan. As soon as he opens his mouth, the people will automatically stand beside him and speak.

"What a luck!" Yi Yun had no choice but to bite his luck to death.

Zhou Zifan snorted angrily and said, "The emperor thinks that the emperor may be hidden somewhere by you, either in a certain island, or in your Shanghai oasis, or simply hidden on your boat. It is the least likely to hide on the island. For the emperor, you can't hide on an island with such an important person. As for Shanghai... Humph, it's impossible for you to travel from Macau to Shanghai in two days, so the most likely thing is to hide on your boat."

"How is this possible!" Yi Yun continued to deny, but said in his heart: What a powerful guy, I really hate it.

"Do you dare to ask the officials to go on the boat to search?" Zhou Zifan said loudly: "If you have no ghosts in your heart, you don't have to be afraid."

"Hey!" Yi Yun felt really interesting now. He didn't know whether Zhou Zifan was not corrupt, but he could tell that he was not afraid of power. This guy was unwilling to give in to his own, the most popular prince. From this point of view, this person was considered an upright person.

Yi Yun was about to cheat and not let him get on the boat, Chen Yuanyuan next to him blinked and whispered: "Let him come up and look for me, so that my makeup skills will not be seen through by him in casual eyes."

Zhu Qingqing on the other side also smiled and said, "Cousin, let him come to me. Hidden and seek are just to ask someone to find it, which is fun."

Since both women said this, Yi Yun had no objection. In order to show his innocence, he simply shouted: "Okay, Zhou Zifan, just come on the boat to find it. Anyone who is interested in finding it can come together."

Zhou Zifan was not polite, and walked onto the boat with his feet raised. However, he was brave and not afraid of the prince. This does not mean that other officials were brave. Except for him, no civil servant dared to stand up and all stood on the dock and watched quietly. Zhou Zifan walked onto the deck alone, and the sea breeze blew his clothes, showing a strong and beautiful force. This power did not come from his thin body, but from his fearless heart.

Yi Yun couldn't help but nodded secretly. Such an official is good! It would be great if he had one under his command. If he had the chance, he could pull him out of the Donglin Party and try to get his own hands to serve. As for the inherent Celestial Kingdom of the Donglin Party members, things with superficial vision can be slowly infected and changed.

Zhou Zifan began to wander around the deck, and walked around several times, but he couldn't recognize the times when he walked over to Zhu Qingqingqing. In fact, it was no wonder that he was. Even the close ministers of the emperor like the 32nd father-in-law could not recognize Zhu Qingqingqingqing after makeup, and the fourth-rank official like Zhou Zifan rarely had the chance to meet the emperor. When he saw him occasionally, he was still kneeling in the court and didn't dare to look at him seriously. How could he recognize Zhu Qingqingqingqing?

He came onto the boat, not mainly to recognize people, but to look at Yi Yun's expression, to see if he was a little scared, uneasy, or some other emotion. You should know that even if humans are concealed, they will inevitably show some strange expressions when their bad things are exposed.

But Yi Yun was really not strange. What he thought to himself was: The emperor is my mistress. Even if you exposed her on my boat, she would still speak to me. What can you Donglin Party?

With such an idea to make the foundation, Yi Yun was really stubborn and fearless. He stood up straight, without any uneasiness on his face.

Zhou Zifan got into the cabin for a while, but of course he found nothing. When he walked back to the deck, he saw a woman dressed in a fairy woman next to Yi Yun, sticking out her tongue at him, as if mocking him.

Zhou Zifan was in the mood to pay attention to a mere fair woman. He shook his sleeves and said to Yi Yun: "It was not found on the ship, but the lower official still suspected that the prince knew the whereabouts of the emperor. For this matter, the lower official would not give up."

Yi Yun laughed and said, "Since you don't want to give up, go to Shanghai Oasis with me and keep following me to monitor me, how about it?" He was planning to win over this tough official.
