In Dayan, the ranks of officials and nobility were divided into duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron, and the marquis was second only to the duke!
In fact, throughout the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, there were only a handful of dukes and only a handful of marquises!
this……
Xiao Fan couldn't believe it. Did I save the old emperor's father?
Just like that, he was granted the title of Marquis of Protecting the Country?
Are you sick?
While Xiao Fan was confused, he quickly thought of Gu Bufan.
If Gu Bufan knew about this, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause!
But there is no point in thinking about these things now. The important thing is to receive the order first.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan helped Xiao Chengshan up and looked at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict very politely: "I am really sorry, eunuch, my father is not in good health and cannot entertain you."
"It's just a small matter, a small matter!"
The father-in-law had already seen that Xiao Fan would achieve great things in the future, and at this moment he was very friendly to Xiao Fan. "Then the Marquis and the Minister should have a good rest. I will take my leave now."
"Take care, father-in-law!"
After sending the people away, the Xiao Mansion became quiet again.
At this moment, Xiao Fan and Xiao Chengshan looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
"Fan'er, what's going on?" After a long while, Xiao Chengshan seemed to have found his voice again and spoke.
He said this with a tone of disbelief in his voice, "What on earth did you do?"
Xiao Chengshan really couldn't understand. Didn't they donate their property to avoid blame?
But why did Your Majesty not hold him accountable but instead posthumously conferred him an honor?
And he is the Marquis of Protectorate.
As for the title of marquis, seriously speaking, Xiao Fan's official position is higher than mine!
How did Xiao Fan know what was going on?
He just wanted to know what was going on.
How could this be an imperial edict? This is clearly a letter from the King of Hell, coming to take my life!
"Father, don't worry about this matter. I'm going out for a while!"
Xiao Fan said this and stood up.
"What?"
Before Xiao Chengshan could react, he saw Xiao Fan walking hurriedly outside.
"Be careful!" Xiao Chengshan couldn't help but speak.
"knew!"
Xiao Fan's voice came.
Looking at Xiao Fan's figure walking away, Xiao Chengshan's heart was filled with sighs.
But in the end, it turned into a sigh.
"Fan'er, the road ahead depends on you alone!"
As soon as Xiao Fan left the Xiao Mansion, he saw Xiao Da squatting on the side of the road.
Xiao Fan stepped forward and kicked him, "Get up and go into the palace!"
"Going into the palace again? Sir, what are we going into the palace for?"
Xiao Da spoke subconsciously.
Too many things have happened recently, and Xiao Da feels that he can't react to what is going on.
Looking at Xiao Da like this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh. If only he knew what he was going to do in the palace!
We don’t know anything now, we can only go to the palace first and talk about it later!
He must find out why the emperor suddenly conferred upon him the title of Marquis of Protectorate the Country!
Now, his idea of taking this opportunity to get rid of Gu Bufan has obviously failed.
Now Xiao Fan only feels that he is in great danger!
"Hurry up, don't waste time!" Xiao Fan thought and spoke directly in a scolding tone.
"Yes!" Seeing that his young master was really anxious, Xiao Da didn't dare to waste time and hurried to get the carriage.
When Xiao Fan arrived at the palace gate, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
"Tsk, Xiao Fan, you're in the palace again. Are you here to see Princess Kangding?"
A cute voice came, with a hint of teasing in it.
Xiao Fan almost immediately recognized the owner of the voice... Yan Danxin!
Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat. Why did this ancestor come here?
What bad luck!
Xiao Fan cursed in his heart, but still looked in the direction of Yan Danxin.
At this moment, Yan Danxin was riding a horse, her clothes were very neat, her long black hair seemed to be casually tied behind her head, and she looked heroic in the sun.
At this moment, Yan Danxin looked at Xiao Fan with a smile on her face, as if she was waiting for something.
"Long time no see, Princess Danxin." Facing Yan Danxin, Xiao Fan forced a smile and spoke politely.
"What nonsense?" Yan Danxin asked unhappily, "Why did you suddenly come to the palace?"
"Are you here to lick Kangding again?"
Although Yan Danxin said this, she had actually guessed Xiao Fan's intentions. She had already received information about Xiao Fan's speech at the Ministry of Justice.
To be honest, she was very curious. Has Xiao Fan really changed?
The two things he promised were definitely not a small expense! Even if it was the treasury of the Great Yan Dynasty, it would definitely be able to be eaten up smoothly!
And what Xiao Fan did was that he wanted to empty the Xiao family's assets!
Yan Danxin knew all this and couldn't figure out what Xiao Fan was up to. That was why she wanted to go into the palace to see what was going on.
But I didn't expect that I would meet Xiao Fan here.
"Xiao Fan, I want to ask you..."
Yan Dan was thinking about all this, and seeing that Xiao Fan hadn't said anything for a long time, she couldn't help but frown and speak. She looked in the direction of Xiao Fan, only to see that there was no one in front of her.
Xiao Fan...ran away!
"Xiao Fan!" Yan Danxin gritted her teeth. This guy, she was talking to him nicely, but he dared to run away!
Seeing Yan Danxin like this, the maidservant beside her couldn't help but lower her voice, "Princess, Master Xiao has entered the palace."
"I know." Yan Dan said irritably, and the maid didn't dare to say anything more when she saw this.
Yan Danxin stared towards the direction of the palace, took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "Catch up! I want to see what this guy wants to do!"
At this time, Xiao Fan was anxious. He asked Xiao Da to stay outside, and he went straight into the palace.
Because of his anxiety, Xiao Fan's inner collar was a little wet.
He now suspected that the emperor wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop!
But why is this?
Although his father had indeed embezzled a lot of money over the years, he had now spent all the family wealth. Xiao Chengshan had also made great contributions in the court over the years. Could it be that he really would not show any mercy to him?
Xiao Fan thought about this and headed straight for the Imperial Garden.
Along the way, many eunuchs and palace maids looked at Xiao Fan and subconsciously wanted to say hello, but Xiao Fan ignored them and just walked forward.
He was not very tall, and compared to this huge palace, he was just a drop in the ocean.
When the palace maids saw Xiao Fan like this, they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
"What is Young Master Xiao in such a hurry to do?"
"Are you going to find the princess?"
"Stop talking, this matter has nothing to do with us, don't talk nonsense!"
The palace people discussed with each other.
Xiao Fan was still walking forward. He wanted to find the emperor to find out what was going on, but he ran into Princess Kangding instead.
At this moment, Kangding was sitting in the imperial garden with her personal maid. She was wearing a pink dress, had gorgeous hair accessories, and a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, which made her look particularly pretty.
"Xiao Fan!"
Seeing Xiao Fan at this moment, Kang Ding spoke directly with a smile on her face.
