Xiao Fan was thinking about these things in his mind, and Xiao Chengshan looked at Xiao Fan with a more obvious smile on his face.
"Fan'er, you really made your father proud this time! Even when your father was at his most glorious, our Xiao family never had such a glorious time!"
Xiao Fan stood there blankly, thinking about all kinds of things, and when he came to his senses, Xiao Chengshan and Xiao's mother had already walked away.
"From today on, the Xiao Mansion will hold a grand banquet, and everyone who comes can eat!"
Only Xiao Chengshan's high-spirited voice remained in the wind.
Then came all kinds of congratulations.
After hearing these words, Xiao Fan felt his vision going dark.
How did things become like this now?
This development is not right!
…
For several days, Xiao Fan stayed in his room.
He has thought about all the things in front of him in the past few days. Xiao Fan understands that now that all these things have come together, he must find a way to deal with them!
Otherwise, Gu Bufan's petty look makes me wonder when he will come to cause trouble for me.
At this moment, his marriage to Princess Kangding was getting closer.
As long as we get married, Kangding and Yan Danxin will follow me to the border like dog-skin plasters, and Chen Rong...
The more Xiao Fan thought about it, the worse he felt.
He has been worrying about this matter for a while. He even lost a lot of hair and looked much older.
Xiao Fan hid in the room, even though he was worried about meeting Gu Bufan at some point, he just went straight out.
What Xiao Fan didn't expect was that he didn't wait for Gu Bufan, but waited for the imperial edict.
Xiao Fan walked out of the room with a pale face and saw the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict standing in the yard.
Xiao Chengshan and Xiao's mother are already there.
Xiao Fan knelt on the ground in despair, unable to understand why the emperor suddenly issued an order at this time?
Could it be that he wanted to advance his marriage to Princess Kangding?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat.
If this is true, then my life is over!
"The Emperor, in compliance with the mandate of Heaven, declares that Xiao Fan has rendered meritorious service to the Great Yan Dynasty. Therefore, Xiao Chengshan is reinstated to his original post, Xiao Fan is granted the title of Duke of the Protectorate, and appointed Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This is my decree!"
The eunuch's shrill voice reached my ears.
Xiao Fan raised his head in disbelief, and he stood there in a daze.
After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Xiao Chengshan couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
"Fan'er, you have become the Duke of Protector of the Country!" Xiao Chengshan said excitedly.
This is the Duke of Protectorate!
Even in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, there were only a few dukes.
When Xiao Fan was first named Marquis of Protecting the Country, he was shocked. Now he was promoted to Duke of Protecting the Country and appointed as the Minister of Revenue.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Fan can act arrogantly in the court and no one cares!
Mother Xiao listened to the contents of the imperial edict with a smile on her face, "Master, Fan'er is really soaring to the sky now!"
Looking at the excitement of Xiao Chengshan and Xiao's mother, Xiao Fan did not feel any joy in his heart.
How could such a good thing happen in this world?
The old emperor suddenly appointed himself as the Duke of Protector of the Country. Who knew what would happen to him in the future?
Is this the Protector of the Country?
This is asking for my head directly!
Xiao Fan was thinking about these things, he stood up, and because he was distracted, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was looking at Xiao Chengshan at this moment with a flattering smile on his face.
"Master Xiao, this is truly a great joy! I've heard before that Master Xiao is extraordinary and truly a rare talent. Seeing him today, it's true!"
It is said that everyone in the palace is a shrewd person. Just with these few words, Xiao Chengshan could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
"You are so polite, sir. Fan'er is just lucky, that's all!"
As Xiao Chengshan spoke, he took out some silver and stuffed it directly into the hand of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
Seeing this, the smile on the father-in-law's face became more obvious.
After some politeness between the two, the eunuch accepted the silver.
Both of them are very optimistic about Xiao Fan's future.
Now, at such a young age, he is already the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and even the Duke of the Protectorate. As long as Xiao Fan and Princess Kangding get married, their future will be limitless!
This is just Xiao Fan himself, not to mention Xiao Chengshan.
Although Xiao Chengshan was corrupt and accepted bribes, he had many followers, so Xiao Fan's official career in the future could be said to be smooth!
Looking at the smiles on their faces, Xiao Fan was not so optimistic in his heart.
He looked at the eunuch delivering the imperial edict, who was trying hard to suppress his nervousness. "Is there anything else you would like to tell me, Your Majesty?"
Hearing the voice, the eunuch looked at Xiao Fan with a smile on his face, "Young Master Xiao is really a genius!"
"His Majesty wants Master Xiao to enter the palace with me."
"Fan'er, go quickly and don't keep His Majesty waiting!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chengshan spoke quickly.
After the imperial edict was announced, Xiao Fan was allowed to enter the palace to meet the emperor. This showed that he attached great importance to the emperor!
It’s a pity that when Xiao Fan heard his father-in-law’s words, everything went dark before his eyes.
What good could come of asking me to enter the palace at this time?
No, I have to figure it out myself!
"Father-in-law, let's not waste any more time and set off quickly!" Xiao Fan thought and spoke quickly.
Xiao Fan followed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict out of the Xiao Mansion and saw that what was parked at the door of the Xiao Mansion was... a dragon sedan chair!
Xiao Chengshan followed behind and was stunned when he saw the dragon chariot. He swallowed and his face was full of disbelief.
Your Majesty actually sent out a dragon sedan chair!
What a great honor this is!
"Fan'er is really amazing!" Xiao Chengshan said excitedly, and Xiao's mother was even more so.
Only Xiao Fan felt his heart beating faster and faster at this moment.
These things are so abnormal!
Why would the emperor give me so much for no reason?
There must be something waiting for me!
When Xiao Fan thought about this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously.
But in the end, Xiao Fan forced himself to calm down.
Now that things have come to this, all he can do is go ahead with it.
Xiao Fan didn't know how he got on the dragon sedan chair. He only heard the eunuch shouting and the dragon sedan chair was lifted up. Countless guards with swords stood by and they headed towards the palace.
After entering the palace, Xiao Fan was carried into the imperial garden.
"Mr. Xiao, His Majesty is waiting for you here. Please go in by yourself."
Xiao Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly got off the dragon sedan chair, and said, "Thank you, eunuch!"
Xiao Fan turned around and looked ahead, his heart pounding with fear.
The imperial garden is so quiet now, could this be... the calm before the storm?
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Fan walked in.
After a while, he saw the emperor standing in the pavilion of the imperial garden wearing a dragon robe.
Opposite the pavilion was the tranquil lake. The emperor gazed at the lake quietly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, your Majesty!"
Xiao Fan walked over, bowed and spoke.
Hearing the voice, he turned around and his eyes fell directly on Xiao Fan.
