The servants and maids above and below the Fan Mansion heard this decree clearly, only to feel that a thunderbolt was ruthlessly and cruelly slashed down, and the entire Fan Mansion began to tremble and shake. The faces of the people kneeling outside the hall turned pale, their hearts were shocked, and they felt uneasy and frightened for the young master.

Not only them, but also the officials and people of the entire Kyoto know very well what the foundation of power in the hands of Lord Xiao Fan is, and His Majesty's will to seize the official position is to cut off the roots of Lord Xiao Fan. However, when Fan Xian, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this will, the expression on his face remained calm, and he did not show any sense of shock and sadness, because this qiē was originally what he expected, just like the two of them tossing and turning on the bed and thinking about it, His Majesty would try to gradually cut off the layers of power defenses that covered Fan Xian's body during this time.

After careful calculation, since he met Wang Qinian on the way back to Beijing in Dongyi City, in this short ten years, Fan Xian didn't know how many big rebellious things he had done. The black horsemen roared across the states and counties, which was originally a big taboo, and the five hundred black horsemen rushed to more than ten passes in a row, which was a great crime between the government and the opposition. In addition, when Fan Xian broke into Kyoto, he killed the commander of Zhengyangmen, and stabbed to death several strong men on the court in front of the eyes of all the people...... A chun and a chun are all sins, they are all unforgivable sins in Qinglu, even if he is Fan Xian, he must pay the price for this matter, His Majesty did not let him go to prison, it is already lenient enough, but this kind of leniency can not calm the discussion and pressure in the civil officialdom, today's will in addition to Fan Xian's position as the dean, it can also be regarded as a preliminary explanation to the world, and give His Majesty a channel to vent his anger.

As for what kind of will will come out in the palace in the future, and what kind of blows and losses Fan Xian will suffer, it depends on Fan Xian's response and the rumors of officialdom and the people.

Fan Xian stood up a little abruptly, took the holy decree from Dai's father-in-law's hand, and handed it over to the Qingke behind him very casually, without reading it carefully at all, because the charges proposed in the holy decree were very real, and he was not ready to fight any lawsuit with the palace in these aspects.

"Let's have a cup of tea and go. Fan Xian looked at Grandpa Dai gently. Father-in-law Dai's face uncontrollably showed an embarrassed and uneasy look, his ups and downs in the palace in the past few years were actually all because of the young magnate in front of him, but today he came to Fan's Mansion to read this will, and Father-in-law Dai's heart was indeed a little uncomfortable.

"The slave has to go back to the palace. Dai Gonggong glanced at Fan Xian with uneasy eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty is just angry for a while, just take a few rì." ”

Fan Xian knew why this guy showed such a look, smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, since Your Majesty has asked you to pick up the important messenger of the decree again, I must also believe you." ”

Father-in-law Dai bowed respectfully and was about to leave, but he heard Fan Xian's deep voice ringing in his ears: "If you are in the palace, is it good?"

It is taboo for eunuchs and ministers to pass information privately, but after a little hesitation, Grandpa Dai did not hesitate at all, and said in a low voice: "Miss Fan is doing very well, she often listens to discussions in the imperial study, and His Majesty treats her very well, so don't worry about it." ”

The Fan Mansion is actually a member of the Li royal family, and Fan Xian's grace to Dai's father-in-law, this eunuch didn't care about those taboos, and lowered his voice to explain Fan Ruoruo's situation in the palace.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, a little stunned, he couldn't guess His Majesty's thoughts, and he didn't understand why his sister could appear so detached in the palace, not like a hostage at all.

After the matter of Yingzhi was completed, Fan Xian turned to the main hall, looked at his wife, who had been listening quietly in the rear, and said softly: "Today is the first wave, and I have a lot of errands, and if you want to peel off layer by layer, it will take some time." ”

Lin Wan'er glanced at him, bit her lower lip gently, and said: "If the name is not right, it is not good, although the position of dean is now vacant, Your Majesty must be waiting for you to enter the palace to ask for sin, and after a while, I will still give you this position, but ...... After all, the imperial power is boundless, you have no position as dean, and if you want to gather the power of the courtyard in these rì, you are afraid that there will be some obstacles. ”

"His Majesty also knows this, so he cut off the position in my courtyard with the first sword. Fan Xian sat down and said in a low voice: "At least for now, he doesn't want chaos in the court, so he is slowly cutting, and he is waiting for me to naturally confess my sins and bow my head." It's just that...... For so many years, the Supervision Yuan has been under the control of the old lame, and His Majesty still doesn't understand the doorway, even if there are many people in the Supervision Yuan who will be afraid of the imperial power, but after all, there are still more people who don't recognize the will, only the inheritance in the hospital. ”

"Being under house arrest is as much a problem as being suicidal. Fan Xian said: "Your Majesty wants the whole world, even myself, to slowly get used to my loss of authority, so it will be much easier for me to toss it that way, so I have to hurry up." ”

Lin Wan'er's brows furrowed, she never understood, even if Fan Xian could tear open the big net outside the mansion and contact the members of the Qi Nian group, what problem could be solved just by meeting once?

"My subordinates are amazing people. Fan Xian saw the doubts in her heart, and said calmly: "And they can help me under house arrest to contact a group of more amazing people." ”

............ If Fan Xian forcibly broke through the surveillance network outside the mansion, with his current cultivation, it would not be a very difficult thing, as he said last night, unless His Majesty himself did, it would be really difficult to find a few people in the world of Qingguo who could follow him.

However, he had to think about the lives of his subordinates and those collaborators who were not in Kyoto, so he couldn't give the palace any chance to follow him and clean up his true foundation as planned.

The seizure of the position of president of the Supervision Yuan will not affect Fan Xiantongguò, who are loyal to himself and Chen Pingping, to regain control of the strength of the Supervision Yuan. And if the imperial court really uses the line of Guò Fan Xian and catches all the teams that he has been hiding behind the scenes, it will be much more difficult for Fan Xian to connect with those forces that are far away from the temple.

Therefore, Fan Xian's actions were very careful, and his careful watch came out to show the world, but it was a very unreasonable and extraordinarily bloody killing decision, because not long after His Majesty's will to take away the post of president of Fan Xian's Supervision Yuan spread throughout Kyoto, the news came that Lord Xiao Fan had once again attacked the eyeliner outside Fan's mansion.

On this day, more than 20 people died outside Fan's mansion.

The second rì palace issued an order to remove Fan Xian from the post of the chief envoy of the Inner Treasury Transit Division, and officially stripped the inner treasury treasure that Qingguo relied on as the foundation of national strength from Fan Xian's control.

That night, Fan Xian struck again and swept away the characters in the streets and alleys around Fan's Mansion in the shape of a tic-tac-toe.

In the third rì palace, Fan Xian was strictly reprimanded, and the title of first-class duke was directly deprived and taken to the end.

............ Seven years later, all the official positions of the most glorious young minister in Nanqing were taken away by the ruthless will, remembering Jiangnan, when the dragon raised his head, the long list of prefixes in front of the young minister who stepped down from the boat was still not a single one.

From now on, Fan Xian has returned to his white body, even worse than Jinshi Xiucai, who went to Beijing to take the exam, he does not have any official position, any nominal authority, and no Yulu. The errand of the Ministry of Rites that Chūn used to be in the palace was also remembered by the palace, and the extremely noble position of Zhengqing in Taichang Temple was also taken away.

The only thing left on Fan Xian's body was the position of teacher in Taixue, which was also demoted to the third rank, but I don't know why, His Majesty the Emperor did not take away this position.

In the past seven days, the palace and Fan's mansion were like a conveyor belt, transmitting His Majesty's calm and indifferent will, transmitting one chilling will after another, and under each will, the brilliance on Fan Xian's body faded.

The eyes of the officials and people in Kyoto were all fixed on the road in front of the Fan Mansion, and they all knew that this road would be very busy after the autumn rain, but they did not expect that this road would be as busy as it is now.

No one thought that His Majesty's punishment of the little grandfather would be so thorough and strict, and no one would have thought that Fan Xian would be so blunt and resisted for seven days in a row, but he still did not enter the palace to ask for guilt.

Everyone looked at Fan Fu, waiting for what direction this cold war between His Majesty and his illegitimate son would go, whether His Majesty would simply arrest Fan Xian and put him in prison under his anger, or Fan Xian couldn't resist this will and finally relented.

However, even though Fan Xian is only a white body today, the people of Kyoto are still accustomed to calling him Xiao Fan in the after-dinner chatter, and those officials who hide in their respective prefectures to watch the progress of the matter are still accustomed to calling him Xiao Grandpa.

Because they all know that even if Fan Xian has been reduced to a grass citizen by His Majesty, as long as he does not die and is not imprisoned, he may still become the big man under one person and above ten thousand people at any time.

No one dared to despise Fan Xian's existence, and even to the surprise of many officials, Fan Xian obviously violated countless Qing laws, ignored the imperial court, and killed so many people, but in the discussion among the people, there were still not too many unfavorable remarks against Fan Xian.

In this war between His Majesty and Fan Xian, Qingguo appeared for the first time in a strange state that public opinion was not completely in the palace, perhaps because although Fan Xian killed people outside Fan's mansion, what he did was not exaggerated, except for the first rì and the second rì, his murderous aura has been greatly reduced, and the people he killed were all eyeliner sent by the palace, what does it have to do with the general public? Maybe it's because many people in Kyoto have seen Fan Xian hugging Chen Pingping's corpse and crying haggard in the autumn rain, and subconsciously feel a little sympathy.

Human feelings are so strange in the first place, one moment they may still be applauding, the next moment they may begin to silently remember, in the countless Dharma fields that have descended through the ages, in the face of countless deaths, in fact, there have been such progresses.

But what really can make Fan Xian, who is white, still have a lot of folk discussion and support, is still the foundation of what he has done over the years. Those glorious old things don't need to be put forward one by one to calculate the energy, and there is no need to care about how many things Chen Pingping did for Fan Xian when he used the eight departments of the Supervision Yuan, the fact is that since the emperor who led the Qingguo Iron Horse to step on the dilapidated Chaohe and mountains decades ago and opened up countless territories, the only one in Nanqing who can be called an idol is probably only Fan Xian.

If it was in Jiangnan, perhaps Fan Xian would be able to get even more support from the people, because after all, he had been operating there for the longest time, and the Hangzhou Club managed by Lin Wan'er had spared no expense in caring for the local people over the years, and had already replaced the Ming family and became the most glorious name in the hearts of the poor people and scholars in Jiangnan.

After all, in Kyoto, even if the people under the roots of the imperial city are biased towards Fan Xian, it is impossible to do anything, so in the final analysis, this war is still a war between Fan Xian and His Majesty, just like the war in the imperial study.

............ Seven years after a qiē undecided, the world is not peaceful, there is still an autumn wind outside Fan's mansion, there is a drizzle between them, but under Fan Xian's sweeping like a killing god, those eyeliners sent by the inner court have no choice but to pull the big net outward.

The majesty of imperial power is undoubtedly supreme, and the fear of death is also supreme, and in the midst of this kind of attack, there is no doubt that the surveillance of the inner court will be exposed. Fan Xian stood coldly at the door of the mansion, quietly watching the movements around him, but he remembered Wan'er's words that day, and a strange feeling flashed in his eyes.

If Emperor Lao Tzu wants to deal with Fan Xian's face-tearing resistance, there are actually many ways, why don't he use it? Are these outward moves of the inner court eyeliner forced by his own kind of splashing three children, or is there some secret will of the emperor's majesty? Those eyeliners are inexhaustible...... Fan Xian couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it, maybe the man in the palace still had some warmth and hope for him, but he didn't want this warmth and hope to shake his heart again, the heart that had already cooled in the autumn rain.

He turned around and entered Fan's house, and not long after, a carriage delivering vegetables also turned into the side alley next to Fan's mansion and entered the corner gate, of course, outside the corner gate, this carriage was subjected to the strictest inspection, even the inner layer of every cabbage, the root of every radish was not spared.

The people in charge of these inspections are all officials who have revealed their identities, and unlike those inner court eyeliners scattered around Fan's mansion, Fan Xian is not embarrassed by these people, because if he wants to get rid of the shackles of house arrest, it is only those eyeliners that need to be careful, not these officials.

There was nothing unusual about the carriage delivering the vegetables, and the official waved his hand and let the carriage enter the Fan Mansion. Not far from the corner gate, there is the large kitchen of Fan's mansion, where its own servants come to carry the vegetables and fruits on the cart.

Under the will of the palace, it is clear that it is impossible for people in the Fan Mansion to go out, and it is extremely difficult for people outside to come in, even if this carriage is actually directly sent by the Vegetable Inspection Department of the Dengshi City, it has been under the surveillance of the imperial court from the source, and it is naturally not afraid of what the Fan Mansion or those restless officials of the Supervision Yuan want to do.

The coachman in the carriage quietly wiped the kitchen and walked to the back garden without everyone noticing, and then directly entered a quiet study under the answer of an old servant of the Fan Mansion.

As soon as the coachman entered the study, he saw a woman besides Fan Xian, and immediately guessed that it should be the dean's wife, and after being slightly stunned, he took off his straw hat, knelt down and saluted: "I've seen the dean." ”

After the coachman took off the straw hat, Lin Wan'er covered her mouth in surprise and said, "It's true." ”

The coachman was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything, stood up, and said directly: "These days, the guards outside the mansion are strict, so everyone doesn't dare to move." ”

"This is the cadre in my Qi Nian group, and he did me a great favor in Northern Qi back then. Fan Xianwen explained to his wife that this official of the Supervision Yuan, who looked very much like him, had been hidden in the Qi Nian group, but he didn't expect that after being blocked for seven years, the person who ventured into the house to connect with him would actually be this person.

"It's best not to move, nothing is as important as your own life. Fan Xian looked at the subordinate and said seriously, this is the creed that he has been instilling in the people around him, even the most loyal subordinates, nothing is more important than his own life, Wang Qinian did this, and Gao Gao also did this.

"The net outside has loosened a bit, I'm going out today. Fan Xian bowed his head slightly and said softly.

"My lord, this is too risky. The official said earnestly, thinking that since he had ventured into the mansion, he would have to pass on what he had to say.

"No, I can't. Fan Xian shook his head, those words are too critical, they must be personally explained to everyone's ears, a slight mistake, I am afraid that it will cause great trouble, he suddenly thought that if Wang Qinian was by his side at this time, everything would be much easier to solve, with the ability of the old king, sneaking into Fan's mansion under the gaze of the eyeliners, it must not be too difficult.

"The carriage that delivered the vegetables belonged to the Vegetable Inspection Division, how did you get in?" Fan Xian suddenly thought of this question, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he was a little worried.

"Dai Zhen has returned to inspect the vegetable department. The officer replied with a smile.

Fan Xian also laughed, Dai Gonggong re-became the chief eunuch of the decree, and then, his nephew also returned to the position of the inspection department, and used the means of the Supervision Yuan to pick up the Dai family and the grandfather back then, leaving some tails, and using them at this time, it is naturally an easy matter.

............ The autumn sky in Kyoto is clear and vast, and the rain spills down from the lead-like clouds, blurring the surrounding scenery but making it moving. The fierce resistance between the Fan Mansion and the Imperial Palace for seven consecutive years, especially the ruthless sweep of the eyeliner outside the palace by the little Fan Lord for seven consecutive years, finally chilled the hearts of most of the inner court eyeliner, because they felt that their colleagues had died in vain, and looking at the appearance, it seemed that the Majesty in the palace would never really take his illegitimate son out of prison and avenge these colleagues.

So the net outside Fan's Mansion was loosened unconsciously, leaving some loopholes that could be exploited, and the carriage of the Vegetable Inspection Division, which seemed to have no problems, drilled out of this loophole.

............ A secluded place in Kyoto, the houses and alleys are simple, and there are no deep gardens and mansions for everyone. A small courtyard is quiet in an alley, where the sound of vegetables selling in the streets and alleys can be heard clearly, but it has been several years, and no one has ever known what this courtyard represents.

With the slight autumn rain wiping off the flour rouge camouflage on his face, Fan Xian floated into the small courtyard in a flash, and then saw a lot of familiar faces, looking at the surprise and gloom after the surprise revealed on these faces, Fan Xian's heart was slightly moved, but nothing was revealed on his face.

This is the most secret residence of the Qi Nian team, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan here are Fan Xianzao's loyal subordinates. When the news in Kyoto was different, especially when there were some very subtle signs in the Supervision Yuan, these members of the Qinian team left their posts silently and quietly, and returned to this small courtyard through different ways, waiting for Fan Xian's call.

Many years ago, when there were only two people in the Qi Nian group, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, one old and one young, Wang Qinian spent a very small amount of money to buy this courtyard. The members of these Enlightenment Group are Fan Xian's eyes and arms, and now if Fan Xian wants to wield the power scattered in the world that is close to him, he must convey his will through these loyal eyes and arms.

That's why he spent so much effort and effort to come here in person.
