Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan have both sent their respects, but the two of them are Han officials and ministers, so Shunzhi specially ordered them to recuperate in Beijing in their old age, so that they can be summoned at any time in case of trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Shunzhi left Beijing, Fan Wencheng made an excerpt and proposed that in view of the decrease in Manchuria, a special order should be given to reward the Han army to carry Manchuria, and the green battalion to carry the Han army, so as to solve the problem of the serious shortage of population in Manchuria. Shunzhi was somewhat tempted by this suggestion, but he did not adopt it because he considered that this move might shake the foundation of Manchuria, make Manchu sinicized, and be detrimental to Manchu's policy of colonizing China. It's just another suggestion from Fan Wencheng - to restore the "joint sitting method".

The core content of the joint sitting method is to allow ministers of the ministry and above the third rank, regardless of Manchu, Meng, Han and Han, to give a person who knows it, and if the person who is promoted is competent after being appointed as an official, he will reward the person who is promoted; On the other hand, if they are incompetent, they will be judged according to the magnitude of the crime. Fan Wencheng believes that once the "joint sitting method" can be implemented, then both inside and outside can obtain true talents, and there is no incurable person in the world.

Shunzhi recognized the "joint sitting method" very much, and deliberately issued an order to implement it, and even awarded Fan Wencheng as the young protector and the crown prince, and also specially asked the palace painter to paint a portrait of Fan Wencheng, and put it in the palace from time to time to watch. Fan Wencheng's eldest son Fan Chengyin was promoted to the Han Servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the second son Fan Chengmo was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

When people came to the palace, Fan Wencheng was in the garden with his third son Fan Chengxun and 15-year-old eldest grandson Fan Shichong.

Fan Chengxun, who had served in the Qin Heavenly Prison a few years ago, told his father and nephew about a strange celestial phenomenon that the Qin Heavenly Prison had observed a month earlier.

"The year star, the glowing star, the filling star, the Taibai star and the chen star are in the southeast direction together, Qintian supervised the ancient books, and the historical records are recorded, saying that the five stars are divided into the sky, accumulated in the east, and China is profitable; Accumulating in the West, foreign military users benefit. The five stars are gathered in one house from the stars, and the country they give up can be lawed to the world. ”

"So, this astrological sign is good for me?"

Fan Shichong has been close to the third uncle since he was a child, close to Zhu Zhe Chi, close to Mo Zhe Hei, these months have not been less to Qintianjian run, a few days ago he was shouting that the third uncle would take him to see the emperor's Marfa Tang Ruowang. Hearing the third uncle say that there was such a strange scene, he couldn't help but be very curious, and some complained about why the third uncle didn't tell him earlier.

Fan Wencheng pondered for a moment and said to his son and grandson: "Heaven and earth turn, the sun and the moon pass, and it is difficult for the five stars to gather. In October of the first year of the Han Dynasty, the five stars gathered in Dongjing, which was recorded in the Book of Tiangong, the Book of Han and the Book of Han. The ancients divined, this astrological sign is beneficial to the east, and the Qing Dynasty is the purple qi from the east, and it is the beginning of the founding of the country, which is in response to this celestial phenomenon. ”

Listening to his father's explanation, Fan Chengxun couldn't help but nod and said: "What my father said is that Qin Tianjian's colleagues also said the same, and Tang Ruowang also wrote the phrase "Five Stars Out of the East in China." After speaking, he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's not to say at home?" Fan Wencheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little unhappy with his son's spitting appearance.

Fan Chengxun didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said: "Father doesn't know, last night the stars were brilliant, the Milky Way was distinct, and the night air was very clear, but the Emperor Star in Ziweiyuan was a little shaky. ”

"Emperor Star Shake?"

Fan Wencheng's expression became serious, although he didn't believe in the unity of heaven and man, and the theory of heavenly induction, but he was still afraid of celestial phenomena, which would hear his son say that the emperor star was shaking, and then he wanted the emperor to lead the army to march in person, and he couldn't help but be nervous. If something happens to the emperor, the Qing Dynasty will really shake the mountains.

Fan Shichong shook his head and said: "Grandpa, I also saw the star like my grandson last night, but my grandson thought that the reason why the emperor star shook was because a big star appeared next to the emperor star, red and bright, shining and shaking, and it was close to the emperor's throne. ”

When he heard that his grandson had also seen it, Fan Wencheng was even more nervous: "Really? What star is also so terrifying? ”

"This... But the grandson didn't know. ”

"Father don't be nervous, Qin Tianjian observed that the new meteor had fallen to the northeast, leaving only a thin silver line."

"Fell?"

Fan Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: "In fact, this meteor may cause a disaster in the world, that meteor is approaching the emperor star, I am afraid that it will be related to the fortune of the country, it seems that my father has to make a break to the imperial court, see where there is a disaster, relieve it as soon as possible, and then order Fuzhou County to clear the prison and forgive some prisoners." ”

Fan Chengxun said: "Father, the child has a different opinion on this matter. ”

Fan Wencheng glanced at his son and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"The child thinks that this meteor approaching the Emperor Star seems to represent the Ming Army in the south, and the bandits are besieging Jinling, isn't it just the response to the Emperor Star?" Fan Chengxun boldly expressed his opinion, which is also the explanation he and a few close colleagues came up with in private.

After hearing this, Fan Shichong was a little surprised: "According to this, the landing of this star is a sign of the defeat of the bandits... This celestial phenomenon is truly magical! ”

"Thinking about it, the news from the south has confirmed that Zheng Sen was defeated and retreated under the city of Nanjing." Fan Chengxun said with a smile.

Fan Wencheng chuckled, when he learned that Nanjing was besieged by bandits, he was really worried that Nanjing would be lost, but fortunately, Lang Tingzuo, Liang Huafeng and others did not live up to the expectations of the imperial court for them. At present, the emperor is afraid that he is also very happy, and with the momentum of the great victory over the bandits, the army can go south to clear the Cantonese bandits, and he can reap half the work.

After all, it was cold on this day, and Fan Wencheng was an old man in his sixties, and after sitting in the flower hall for a while, he felt the chill and wanted to go back to the house to rest. At this time, a servant came to report, saying that someone from the palace wanted to see the master.

Fan Chengxun asked the servant, "Who is here?" ”

The servant said: "It's Gonggong Hai next to the Queen Mother." ”

Fan Chengxun was stunned: "Hai Dafu is an old man brought by the Queen Mother from outside the Guan, and his status by the Queen Mother's side is only second to Aunt Su Mala, what the hell does he want to come and run in person?" ”

Fan Wencheng was also puzzled, he waved his hand to his son and grandson and said, "You go back and rest, I'll take a look." ”

At that moment, he was supported by the servant to the living room, and Hai Dafu, who was anxious in the hall, saw Fan Wencheng and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, saying, "Hai Dafu has seen Lord Taibao!" ”

"Father-in-law Hai doesn't have to be polite," Fan Wencheng stretched out his hand to help Hai Dafu and asked him, "I don't know what happened to Father-in-law Hai?" ”

"Nanjing was lost, and the Queen Mother urgently summoned the ministers of the Han Dynasty in Beijing to enter the palace."

"Nanjing is lost!"

Fan Wencheng was startled, and the snuffbox in his hand fell to the ground with a "horn click" and shattered.

At the same time, a few miles away from Fan's house, Ning Wan's house also came to the palace envoy, I heard that Nanjing was lost, 68-year-old Ning Wan I was paralyzed on the chair, so frightened that the palace envoy thought that the old lady was scared stupid.
