"Teacher, I'm a little nervous."

In the pantry in the back hall of Songhe Tower, Qian Guangyuan changed his slightly wooden expression in the past, and the expression on his face was much richer than before.

"It's normal to be nervous, after all, this is the first time you've publicly presented yourself in front of the whole of Kyoto, and it also means that you will officially join the battle for the throne, if there is no nervousness at all, I will find it strange."

Xia Fan said very easily.

At this time, there was still about half an hour before the dinner party was about to start, and horse-drawn carriages began to come to the gate of the main building of this pine crane tower one after another.

For the sake of the whole, tonight, Xia Fan has contracted all the main buildings of this pine crane tower, so all the shop attendants in the pine crane tower, except for those who are waiting to serve those distinguished guests on the banquet floor, are all waiting outside the gate of the main building, ready to lead those visitors.

"That being said, if this nervousness were to be seen for a while, it would have a very negative effect on me, right?"

Qian Guangyuan said with some gains and losses.

"Not a negative influence."

Xia Fan shook his head, and then continued with a relieved expression in Qianguangyuan: "It should be said that it is a devastating blow. ”

Qian Guangyuan's expression froze suddenly.

"Guangyuan, you must know that no matter how well prepared we have been during this period of time, and how many forces we have gathered to join it. But compared to your second brother, we are still at an absolute disadvantage. ”

"The biggest downside is that you're too late to join the fight. Most people who are late have actually acquiesced to the identity of your second brother. In other words, even if your second brother doesn't do anything, just do it until your father dies, then the throne will definitely be his. In this case, our only chance is for your second brother to make mistakes on his own, and everything we have done during this time is to work towards this goal. ”

Xia Fan walked to the window of the pantry with his hands behind his back, looked at the bustling crowd on the street outside the window, and then said: "If you can't show your confidence tonight, then for your second brother, it will be equivalent to giving him a reassurance." I believe that he will be able to see through the truth, but many times, when he is in the game, even if he can see through, there is no guarantee that he will always be in a calm and rational state. Because human beings themselves are impulsive creatures. ”

"So what we have to do is to do our best to put pressure on my second brother to make him doubt his judgment and then destroy the city wall?"

Qian Guangyuan asked tentatively.

"That's right, that's the truth, so you have to convince your second brother that you are really sure to sit in that chair. Your second brother has been too smooth sailing over the years, and this is his biggest weakness. ”

"Whew...... Be! Teacher, I see! Merely...... Hearing you say that, my pressure is even greater. ”

"It's a good thing to have pressure, if you really sit in that chair in the future, you have to govern this big country and coordinate the relationship between all parties, at that time, the pressure you need to bear will be much stronger than this time, so from now on, you have to learn to adapt and control this pressure."

Xia Fan still looked out the window, although the sun was almost setting, but the crowd did not decrease in the slightest, the street where the Pine Crane Tower is located is the most prosperous street in the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

It is so prosperous that even with Xie Nanshan's ability, there is no way to penetrate its tentacles into this street.

Because anyone who can open a store on this street and gain a firm foothold is often the force behind it is some real wealthy families like the four great families.

The depth of this kind of power is far beyond the reach of those so-called high-ranking officials who have risen from the humble family.

Even the vast majority of princes and nobles have a big gap with this kind of family lord in terms of influence and heritage.

Therefore, this street is not only the most prosperous street in the capital, but also the best street in the capital.

Not to mention that it is impossible for that kind of bad incidents such as smashing, looting, and burning to appear on this street, even if it is petty theft, it is almost completely extinct on this street.

At least about one-tenth of the people used to maintain law and order in the Kyoto Prefecture of Nuoda are poured on this street, and you can imagine how fatal this absolute security and absolute prosperity will be to the attraction of passenger flow.

"Teacher, I know, I will do my best tonight, whether my second brother comes or not."

Qianguangyuan took a deep breath, and his tone became much firmer.

"Your second brother will definitely not come."

Xia Fan said with a smile.

"Huh? Why? Tonight is the first time I have appeared in front of everyone in the open, doesn't he want to take this opportunity to nip me in the bud? No matter how you look at it, tonight is a very good opportunity for him to dominate, right? ”

Qian Guangyuan asked very strangely.

A large part of the reason why he felt nervous was all due to Qian Guangyi.

At this time, he suddenly heard Xia Fan say so sure that Qian Guangyi would not come at night, and his mood instantly relaxed a lot.

"Because he's afraid, what about you, second brother...... is a very conceited person, and the more conceited a person is, the more he trusts his own judgment. All these years have been smooth sailing, and no matter what decisions he makes, they will not have any impact on the overall situation, so he has become accustomed to being arbitrary. ”

He wasn't aware of it, but it was already subtly influencing the way he acted. Every single one of these things I've done during this time has exceeded his expectations, so he's afraid, afraid that if I come over tonight, I'll have a back hand to make him your foil again, and it will be more than worth the loss. He trusted his own judgment so much that he would never come over, even if someone persuaded him. ”

Xia Fan's sworn appearance made Qian Guangyuan feel more at ease.

"Since I was sensible, my second brother has always been a big mountain in front of me, from childhood to adulthood, he never seems to make mistakes, and he is destined to be the new emperor of the dynasty, that kind of almost deep-rooted image formed for a long time will indeed cause me a lot of pressure. If he really doesn't come, I think the image of him in my heart will also collapse. ”

Qian Guangyuan clenched his fists vigorously, and suddenly smiled at Xia Fan in a very rare way, and continued: "It's almost time, let's go up, ...... today It is the beginning of a new era! ”
