Chapter 451: Secret Investigation
There had been internal rebellions, not to mention the serious damage to Kyoto and the chaos of the government, and the attack within the military alone had already caused extremely serious consequences, and the morale of the army was already unstable at this time. In addition, the officials in the area of Dongshan Road are involved in the public, although His Majesty has selected good officials from Jiangnan to take over, but the impact on people's livelihood must be great.
It will take at least one year to gather the morale of the army, and it will take at least one year to eliminate the psychological impact of this great chaos, and it will take at least three years to really prepare for a large-scale war in terms of finance, materials, and people's hearts.
Presumably in the heart of His Majesty. This Northern Expedition to unify the world must be the last Northern Expedition, which has been stopped by the two great masters for more than 20 years, and it will slowly accelerate.
The light from the car window filtered in through the glass lattice, and kept brushing back, sprinkling countless glass flowers on the faces of the father and son. The emperor still lowered his head and said, "Brush off your clothes and hide your name and ...... This is the sentence you used to write. But don't expect me to let you go, it's over, and now it's over. Why are you a young man in such a hurry to leave with your clothes brushed off?"
The emperor's eyes looked at the song, and these words seemed to be unintentional, but Fan Xian's heart was chuckled, and he didn't know how to speak. After brushing his clothes, he didn't think of his subconscious dusting action before the royal car. His Majesty guessed his own thoughts, and he was unusually resolute and ruthless to dispel his fantasies or psychological temptations.
He smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to hide it in the slightest. said directly: "The minister is really not good at this kind of thing like fighting, and he still earns some silver for the court in An'an." ”
Fan Xian had other plans in his heart, so he preemptively said it thoroughly, but His Majesty the Emperor suddenly raised his head, looked at him and said: "Don't think about resigning, if you are still afraid of people's words and cutting power, I will do it." ”
Fan Xian complained bitterly in his heart, the emperor's words forced him into a corner, if he was really forced to stay in Qingguo Kyoto to plan, of course he did not want to be cut off, the Supervision Yuan was the most powerful weapon in his hands, if he was really torn open by His Majesty, what would he do to negotiate terms with this unfathomable emperor?
Until this time, he still didn't know the truth about Dadong Mountain, and he didn't dare to ask in the carriage at this time, but the emperor opened his mouth first and asked about the specific situation of Kyoto these days.
Fan Xian's voice sounded in the carriage, from the time he left Dadong Mountain, to his disguise as an oil merchant and entered Kyoto, to the later plan with the Great Prince, the raid on the palace, and finally the Diye family's move, he spoke in an orderly and clear manner, and deliberately downplayed some details that the emperor must not want to hear.
When Fan Xian prayed, the emperor had already lowered his head again, so he dared to pay careful attention to His Majesty's expression, to his surprise, whether it was the news of the death of the eldest princess or the suicide of the second child, it did not make His Majesty the Emperor's iron-like face tremble in the slightest, but when he reported the Empress Dowager's condition, the emperor raised his head.
"How many days does the Queen Mother have left?"
"I've seen it in the hospital...... The old man was weak and weak, and he had experienced such a big thing, and he was frightened, and he was afraid that he would ......" Fan Xian wanted to speak and stopped, but he had a trace of vicious thoughts about the indifferent emperor in his heart, the queen mother was scared to death by you, what should you do, the filial emperor?
"Tai Hospital?" The emperor's brows furrowed, he looked at him coldly, and said, "What's the use of those wastes, you are in the palace, don't you know the details?"
Fan Xian said slightly: "It is indeed impossible for human beings to return to the sky. ”
……
……
Under the gaze and arch guard of countless people, the emperor's royal car entered Kyoto, along the wide and straight Tianhe Avenue, into the palace, along the road those who had just suffered from the military disaster, forcibly suppressed the sadness or timidity in their hearts, joyfully welcomed the return of His Majesty the Emperor, as if welcoming back the backbone of their own life, it can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor's prestige and prestige among the people of Qing is still like the monarchy itself,
Break.
When he arrived at the main gate of the palace, Fan Xian leaned over and stepped back from the car, glanced at the eldest prince, and shook his head, indicating that His Majesty's mood was okay and had not been affected by the news of Chun's death.
Fan Xian followed the car into the palace and looked at the bright yellow curtain. I couldn't help but think of the previous emperor's expression. I couldn't help but feel a chill at the tip of my heart - although the eldest princess and the second prince were both masterminds of the rebellion. But after all, it is His Majesty's own sister and biological son. And this conspiracy is now apparent. Obviously, His Majesty deliberately created a trap for the other party. But when he learned of the death of his sister's son, the emperor was still so calm. This distraction. This is ...... Cold-blooded. It really made him shudder.
The eldest prince walked over to him. Said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"Do you dare to sit all the way into the palace?" Fan Xian glanced at him. He explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked something in the car. You also know that it is not always convenient to announce those things in public. ”
Ben didn't have to explain anything to the eldest prince. But Fan Xian looked around at the place. Knowing that he followed the royal car into Beijing. What kind of speech consequences will it cause. subconsciously added this sentence. After making up for it, I felt like talking to the boss like this. I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect. Said with a wry smile: "It's too cold in that car." I came down and moved my muscles. ”
The eldest prince laughed and patted him on the shoulder. Didn't say anything. The two brothers were actually smiling at this time. Hold Kyoto. lest the king of a kingdom become a lonely ghost in the land. No doubt. They did a great job. The first credit was made. So many people died. They used so many means. Who knows what the emperor thinks in his heart.
……
……
His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo didn't think about anything. In the process of arranging a sweep of rebel land outside Beijing. He had already learned about the death of Li Yunrui and Li Chengze from the urgent documents sent by Fan Xian, in the carriage. Just from Fan's mouth. I know the specific circumstances of the time and place of the death of these two people.
His face was calm. It's like being a stranger in the dead world. Still looking at the book under the door to present the chapter, but when the royal car entered the palace and Fan Xian got out of the car, His Majesty the Emperor put down the chapter in his hand. Leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Silent without saying a word.
The silence lasted for a long time. The emperor's face gradually revealed a trace of old age and haggardness. However, at this time, the car had stopped at the gate of Handiandi.
He sighed softly. Slowly walked out of the car curtain that was pulled up by Eunuch Yao. As soon as he stepped out of the curtain and looked down at this familiar and unfamiliar underground palace, his face quickly became calm and solemn, and there was no trace of gloom when he was alone in the carriage. Every eyebrow. Every look in his eyes conveys that he is strong and powerful.
——————————————————
The Queen Mother was dressed in plain white clothes and lay on a warm and soft phoenix bed. The wrinkles on her face were so deep, as if she had been with this palace, and had met too many storms and rains. It has been eroded into this.
The Emperor said a few words to the Imperial Physician, who was kneeling on the ground in fear, and then sat down on the edge of the bed. He put his slender fingers on the queen mother's wrist.
Fan Xian and the other three brothers honestly stood behind the curtain. didn't dare to disturb, but Fan Xiandi was a little faintly nervous in his heart, because it was vaguely visible that the emperor was very skilled in cutting the pulse, and he obviously had some understanding of the medical Tao.
However, he was more confident in Mr. Fei Jie's medicine, and the most important thing was that the pill was ...... at all It's not poison, whether it's too hospital or a local doctor. Or the rest of the wise doctors, presumably they can't find the real reason for the gradual decline of the Queen Mother's vitality, but will directly attribute it to old age and physical decline. Destiny is coming.
The emperor's slender fingers had already left the weak pulse of the queen mother, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, it seems that this great master also knew that he could not drag the queen mother away, and then his brows suddenly wrinkled. His fingers were like the wind, and he pointed at the center of the Queen Mother's eyebrows.
As soon as he pointed out, the taste of the entire Hanguang Temple had changed. Those cold autumn winds were dispelled by a breath of sunshine, and a powerful and dignified breath was transmitted to everyone's hearts.
Fan Xian suddenly felt the breath behind the curtain, his heart shook, and his fingers trembled rapidly, although this breath was not familiar, it was as harmonious as a relative's true qi in his body, but it was just a few levels higher than his realm, faintly it was that he had been longing to pursue and would never be able to find the entry realm!
He Huo Ran raised his head, stared inside through the thin curtain, and a voice in his heart shouted to him, this is the second half of the volume! This is the second half of the volume that he has practiced for 20 years, but has not made any progress at all!
Volume 6 The Joy of the Palace Chapter 171 Listening to the Bell
……
After Fan Xian came to this world, from the time he was still a little baby, he began to learn the nameless trick that was said to be left to him by his mother, it was a thin book with yellow pages, and the trick was divided into two volumes.
Only an irresponsible male nanny like Wuzhu would hold this dangerous trick around a baby so casually, and only a monster like Fan Xian would start practicing when he couldn't even run.
Fan Xian took a nap, then took a nap, sixteen years of napping, is sixteen years of meditation, because of greed for life and fear of death, so the perseverance is amazing, even after entering Beijing, the practice has not been a little slack. After twenty years of hard work, he has become so familiar with the nameless techniques of the upper and lower volumes that he has stopped reading since he was three years old, and all of them are deeply imprinted in his mind.
At the age of twelve, after hitting the top with five bamboos and a stick, he broke the threshold of domineering skills, and then through the life and death struggle in the following years, the meridians in the Kyoto alley behind the hanging temple were shattered.
Today, he is one of the youngest Nine Rank masters in the world. But he knew that he was not a genius like Haitang and Wang Shisanlang. It's just that the meridians in my body are a little different from the others. And it took a lot of time and energy that no one else could have paid for. Hard work pays off. Fan Xian is better than diligence.
However, he still didn't have much to do about the second half of the Nameless Technique, because the True Qi Hammer Cultivation Method in the second half of the book, as well as the trajectory, seemed so weird. Not to mention the normal people in the world, even he, a little monster with thick meridians and a different kind of difference, has no way to get started.
Yes. The sky is facing a treasure mountain. But I couldn't even find the way up the mountain. Because the clear light on the mountain attracted him, but to climb the mountain, he had to be forced to dig it up. Who can do it?
If the domineering true qi needs to be supported by the vast meridians, then the second half of the book needs to be even more terrifying. Every time Fan Xian made no progress in his cultivation. Extremely disappointed. Occasionally, it comes to me that unless there are no meridians in the whole person, or to put it another way, there are all the meridians in a person's body. Scattered between the limbs of the king's intestines. It is possible to practice the second half of the volume.
For many years, Fan Xian has been troubled by this problem. There is no way to find any possibility of a breakthrough, Uncle Wuzhu has not practiced true qi, and Jiang Nanshi occasionally said a few words vaguely with Haitang. Begonia just shook his head. Because this kind of true qi method requires a person who has no meridians. It's clearly a joke.
A man without meridians. No doubt a dead man, so this year. Fan Xian gradually faded the idea of cultivating the second half of the nameless technique, if it weren't for what Uncle Wuzhu said many years ago. Some people have practiced this skill, but they are afraid that Fan Xian will think that the sages in the second half of the volume will use it to make people laugh in horror.
However. Today, Fan Xian is outside the curtain of the Hanguang Palace, and he is clear. I was shocked to feel that kind of state, that kind of self that I had never reached. Even the realm he had seen seeped out from behind the curtain and struck his heart.
If the domineering true qi is a mountain axe. The earthly breath in the curtain is like a god holding an earth-electric blade, and the breath is more pure and exquisite, mediocre and peaceful. Dignified and upright, it comes from it, and it spreads between heaven and earth, making people feel worshipped.
Fan Xian knew that he would not admit his mistake. Because this kind of aura and the domineering true qi in his body definitely come from the same source. It's just that the realm is a few levels higher - when one has been seeking up and down for more than ten years. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. His whole body stiffened, and he fell into some kind of imperceptible agitation.
Excited. He even felt a hint of fear.
……
……
His Majesty the Emperor lifted the curtain and walked out, glanced at everyone, and said softly: "The Queen Mother is tired, you go and wait outside the palace." ”
Everyone didn't know what His Majesty was going to explain, so they bowed down to accept the order, but Fan Xian was still standing in place a little dazed, half-bowing his head, looking at His Majesty's dragon robe in a daze.
The corners of the emperor's lips curled slightly, and he smiled, knowing what his son had noticed, that finger of style, if it weren't for this boy who had practiced domineering skills since childhood, where could others have such a deep understanding and be so shocked.
Fan Xian's stunned appearance at this time was actually mostly pretending, but he knew that in front of His Majesty, it was impossible to hide the horror in his heart, so he simply let go of his heart and naturally revealed the thoughts in his mind.
Your Majesty is a great master, Your Majesty has practiced the second half of the volume, and Fan Xian knows that His Majesty knows that he can know, so he has to show his shock and panic.
The emperor looked at him, and after a while, he said slowly: "You go to the East Palace and wait for me, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it later." ”
Fan Xian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, smiled slightly, and bowed back
Temple of Light. The hall was repeated and quiet at this time, in addition to lying on the bed and not being able to send out the queen mother to the end of life, there was also the emperor who was sitting quietly on the side of the bed.
The emperor sat silently beside the Queen Mother, gently holding her hand in the palm of his hand, looking down and thinking about the previous scene, the child should have known and guessed. The emperor was not prepared to continue to hide these things from Fan Xian, after all, after the battle of Dadongshan, there was no need to continue to conceal them, and except for Fan Xian, no one should be able to detect the special skills of the emperor's cultivation.
Thinking of Fan Xian's shocked expression before, the emperor's face softened, and he secretly thought that he had suffered him all these years, and he had to compensate him, but about this trick, he was afraid that he wanted to make up for it, and Fan Xian had no way to accept it.
