As a first-time father, and looking for a long-lost tenderness on his wife's knees, Fan Xian slept very peacefully, and didn't wake up until he woke up, and the moment he woke up, the corners of his lips still had a pleasant smile.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Wan'er was no longer around, and he estimated that he should have gone to see his daughter, he couldn't help but touch his head, smiled, and thought to himself that he was also a father now, and when he started doing things and thinking about problems, he always had to be more appropriate and stable.

It's just that the sky is bright, urging him to return to the sinister world, Fan Xian sighed, washed up at will under the service of Yahuan, put on an official uniform and entered the flower hall, and refused to eat seriously, and entered the east wing with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, looked at his daughter who was still sleeping, and said a few jokes to Wan'er Sisi while eating, and then went to ask his father Liu to say goodbye, and then went out of the house to the palace.

The streets of Kyoto are still full of solemn atmosphere, but His Majesty returned to Beijing unharmed, the mood of the people of Kyoto is much calmer, and the pedestrians on the street are gradually increasing.

Walking through the palace gate, walking through the corridor, and coming to the imperial study, not surprisingly, I saw the diligent emperor Xià was wearing a single coat and reading the chapter, Fan Xian was slightly stunned, stood up after saluting, and waited silently aside, peeking at the expression of the emperor Lao Tzu with his spare eyes.

At first glance, he was taken aback, because he found that the corners of the emperor's lips had an elusive smile, which naturally revealed a sense of relief, not at all like the lonely appearance of the father and son of the heavenly family after killing each other yesterday. Fan Xian was a little confused in his heart, secretly thinking that he had just given birth to a baby daughter, so he was a little happy, where did the happiness of Emperor Laozi come from?

As soon as he thought of this, Fan Xian admired Dean Chen, who was summoned to the palace last night, and probably only that old cripple could coax His Majesty so happy, as if he had forgotten the tragedies that happened one after another.

The emperor put down the concerto, raised his head, looked at Fan Xian and said gently: "There is no court meeting today, why did you enter the palace so early?"

Kyoto was initially decided, the officials of the six departments escaped from the passes, and the wounded and died, and one should still be under military control, with the forbidden army as the mainstay, and the Kyoto Prefecture as the shop, maintaining the general order of Kyoto, naturally there is no way to convene a grand court meeting according to the old practice. But Fan Xian felt a little strange in his heart, secretly thinking that the situation was so tense now, and he didn't know how many things to deal with in the palace, even if the emperor Laozi wanted to strip himself of his position as a supervisor immediately, but as a close minister, he always had to enter the palace to share his worries, did he dare to close the door in the palace and pass the small rìzi?

He replied with a small understanding: "The rebels will be ambushed, but there are still some unsafe places everywhere, the minister thought carefully, but he was afraid that His Majesty would have an explanation, so he hurriedly entered the palace." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "I just gave birth to a girl, and I don't want to stay in the mansion for a while, is it really a busy life?"

Fan Xian laughed, knowing that it must have been Chen Pingping who told His Majesty last night, and said, "After the duty, go back to the house and hug more." ”

"You are not the minister of the middle school, when did I rank you up?" The emperor glared at him and said, "After giving birth to a child and being so careless, where can you look like a father." ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand the meaning of the emperor's majesty, it seemed that he was preparing to let himself go home and hug the nǎi child, this was what he was looking forward to, but listening to the emperor's stern rebuttal, he was a little depressed in his heart, and secretly slandered, when it comes to being a father, although it is the first time for him, he must be much stronger than the emperor, and he doesn't look at what happened to Cheng Qian and the second child...... Thinking of the two brothers, he immediately thought that Cheng Qian was waiting for death in the East Palace at this time, but he had just given birth to a daughter, the expression on his face began to be weird, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't know how to respond to the emperor's words.

I don't know if the emperor saw something strange from his expression, his face changed slightly, but he didn't explain the follow-up treatment of the rebellion, and said lightly: "You don't need to wait in the palace today, you go back first, the first rì to be a father, you have to ......use some heart" After a slight pause, the emperor suddenly tilted his head sideways, thinking about what he was thinking, and said slowly after a while: "Ming rì asked the morning girl to carry the child into the palace to show me." ”

Fan Xian hurriedly thanked him, and also saw that this mood had become bad again, and he got the will, and hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study. As soon as he got out of the imperial study, he was stopped by Eunuch Yao, probably because he got the news that Fan Fu was happy, and congratulated him respectfully, Fan Xianben didn't have time to chat with this father-in-law, so he handed over a red envelope, but suddenly thought of something, so he lowered his voice and asked the arrested eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, as well as the master guards of the inner court, how to deal with it.

Although the real settlement of accounts after the autumn is settled, it should be a matter after the situation is settled, but the disposal in the palace has always been much faster than outside the palace, even if it has not been done yet, the emperor should have drafted a charter, Fan Xian was a little worried in his heart, and took this opportunity to ask the close eunuchs around his majesty.

Worried in his heart, his face did not show a trace of anxiety, and he asked as lightly as possible, only pretending to be the concern that the ministers of the state should have. Eunuch Yao knew the identity of this young adult, and even more knew the future power of the other party, so he naturally didn't care too much, and picked a few important things to dispose of.

Fan Xian originally wanted to ask about the situation in the East Palace, but after thinking about it carefully, he kept his mouth shut.

After saying goodbye to Eunuch Yao, he was a little stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. What shocked him was that His Majesty the Emperor was so lenient with the fate of these eunuch palace maids, and it was not as he guessed, Mo said that Hong Zhu, the eunuch leader who had not done anything on the surface, was the grandmother in the Hanguang Palace, the new eunuchs in the East Palace, and the palace maids in the Guangxin Palace, and basically did not kill a few, most of them saved their lives, and they were just preparing to drive a group of people out of the palace.

Fan Xian shook his head and walked outside the palace, thinking to himself that the sun came out of the west today? Why did His Majesty suddenly become such a gentle figure? Suddenly, his heart moved, thinking of the dark face of the emperor last night, and then thinking of the gentle conversation between His Majesty and himself before, he couldn't help but guess, could it be that after being greatly stimulated, he finally figured out some things and began to accumulate blessings for himself and the descendants of the Li family?

The facts are actually not far from his guess, the emperor is not a person who kills indiscriminately, let alone a person who is easy to kill, but he is resolute and hard-willing, and he is not afraid of killing. Like those subordinates in the palace, they just obeyed the orders of the queen mother, and they were not deeply involved in the rebellion, and the emperor didn't care about cutting the grass to eradicate the roots...... Coupled with the attitude of the crown prince and the second prince to fight with death, the emperor's mentality has undergone some subtle changes.

............ The second rì Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er carried the little girl into the palace, and for the first time, the emperor showed the benevolent appearance that an elder should have in front of the two, and held the baby girl and looked at it carefully for a long time, and was in a very good mood. It's just that when the emperor stroked the baby's eyebrows with his fingers, Fan Xianzhen was a little frightened, in the Hanguang Palace, he knew how powerful the emperor's fingers were.

But the emperor seemed to like this girl very much, especially the eyebrows and eyes of this girl. Fan Xian looked at this scene, and muttered in his heart, guessing that His Majesty didn't start to think of some traces of the year again, right?

Just thinking about it, the emperor asked him to take the child to the palaces to show those ladies, and left Wan'er behind. Fan Xian was slightly stunned, didn't say anything, and left as ordered. Now that there is no hostess in the palace, the reward for sending the child naturally can't be explained for a while, so it is left to be dealt with later. It's just that when Ning Cairen was holding the child, he said that he wanted to send Mama and Rǔ Niang to the palace, but Fan Xian resolutely refused, which made Ning Cairen and the Yi Gui Concubine on the side a little puzzled.

This is a happy event, but there have been too many deaths in the palace recently, so I can't be happy, no matter how loud Ning Cairen's smile is, it can't dilute the weird smell in the palace, and Concubine Yi just smiled gently, but the third prince Li Chengping's injuries are not yet healed, but he forcibly struggles to hug him, and he also calls for a sister.

The corners of Fan Xian's lips curled slightly, thinking that this kid was really precocious and terrible, but this generation seemed to be a little wrong, but somehow, he thought of his sister and Si Zhe who were far away in Northern Qi, and the matter of Dadongshan involved the Three Kingdoms, and Kuhe would definitely die, and I didn't know if there would be any problems with the two of them over there.

didn't stay long, Fan Xian withdrew with the child in his arms, went into the imperial study to pick up his wife, said goodbye to His Majesty and returned home, the emperor agreed with a little groaning, and said that the matter of giving the name was slowly talked. Fan Xian knew that His Majesty the Emperor was busy dealing with the government affairs after the rebellion, and he didn't expect that he still remembered these little things, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After leaving the palace, Fan Xian didn't ask Wan'er what His Majesty had left her behind, but looking at his wife's red and swollen eyes, he knew in his heart that the conversation between his uncle and niece this time was undoubtedly related to the death of the eldest princess and those two.

............ In the next month, under the strong restraint of the emperor, the six departments of the imperial court, the three courtyards and the three divisions gradually returned to the right track, and the remnants of the rebels scattered in the four fields were also wiped out.

And Fan Xian resigned early in the morning from the post of supervising the country, and returned the seal of His Majesty on the night of the royal return to Beijing.

He still served as the secretary of the Supervision Yuan and the transfer envoy of the Inner Treasury, and he no longer had to pay attention to the problems in the government. The government has two scholars leading a group of civil servants to take care of it, and the military has its own Privy Council to take care of it, which has nothing to do with him. In this way, except for Yan Bingyun's occasional report to the mansion, Jiangnan Su Wenmao and Xia Qifei delivered the report to the hospital on time, so there was nothing he needed to care about.

It's just that there are some episodes, such as how Xiao Yan survived, Fan Xian didn't ask a word, he didn't even want to go to the Supervision Yuan now, let alone ask those upsetting questions. On the contrary, Xia Qifei said in a letter that the old man in Jiangnan hanged himself after learning the news of the eldest princess's defeat, which made Fan Xian sigh a lot.

Ming Qingda finally died, thinking that he had been fighting with this old man in Jiangnan for a long time, but he didn't expect to die like this, Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a little confused, thinking that when the old man hanged himself, maybe he really used the white scarf he gave him.

Maybe he was tired by a series of things in Kyoto, or maybe the old wounds have been lingering, Fan Xian was really sick, and after recovering, he just held the child at home, coaxed his wife, was filial to Lao Tzu, and hid in a small building to become a unity.

Kyoto gradually calmed down, and the surviving officials, after making up their minds, began to return to their usual years of drilling. Everyone knows that in this month, Xiao Fan, who has made great contributions to the counterinsurgency, rarely enters the palace, just holds the child at home, and can't help but be a little puzzled, some of them are smart, and they think that His Majesty has some other thoughts, but then news gradually came from the palace, it is said that the emperor is very fond of the little girl of Xiao Fan's family, which is Xiao Fan's retreat for a month, and it is also the grace given by His Majesty.

So everyone knew what to do.

The queen mother's new funeral, the capital is white, and the entertainment pastime is stopped according to the ceremony, and the restaurant will be closed for a month. Fan Mansion is happy, naturally can't make a big deal, a red lantern at the door doesn't dare to hang, how can you see the joy, but every day at dusk, there are always some officials sneaking into Fan Mansion, leaving gifts, and leaving without saying a word.

Fan's father and son accepted the gift in a muffled voice, but they didn't bother to pay attention to the things entrusted by those officials. They knew very well why those officials had to take the risk of giving gifts and leaving the door in such a strict and tense season--after the suppression of the rebellion, a large number of officials who usually followed the crown prince and the second prince and the eldest princess were taken down and imprisoned in the prison of the Supervision Yuan, and some officials who were not firm enough in the Kyoto affair were also driven out of the government by the emperor with a single pen, and the entire six departments, plus the Dongshan Road and Jiangnan Road in the east, actually vacated hundreds of places at once.

Cats love fish, dogs love, of course officials love official positions the most, these hundreds of positions have red their eyes, where are there too many scruples, the palace changes too much, many old people have broken the door, most people have nothing to do with the Dingzhou army, and no one dares to give gifts to the cold-faced prince, it just so happens that Lord Fan's birthday gave them a great opportunity to give gifts, so naturally they can't miss it.

A month later, Kyoto was finally settled, and the Ministry of Men drew up a list of the vacant places in the ministries, temples, courtyards, and the southeast 2nd Road, and selected many of the alternate officials in the Chūn Minri to fill in, most of whom were good and capable. Those officials whose names were written were overjoyed, thinking that the gifts they gave to Fan's Mansion had played a role, and those who were not selected were secretly annoyed, and the money they had at home was too small, and Xiao Fan really didn't look down on it.

Just there, Fan Xian hugged the child, while bowing his head and teasing the little girl's tender red thin lips, he said to his father: "I didn't say a word." ”

Fan Shangshu took a sip of sour syrup and said with a smile: "I'm about to resign, who is impatient to enter the palace to say?"

"Little flower, little flower......" Fan Xian smiled at his father, and then lowered his head to coax the child, holding the girl every day for a month, he really loved it more and more.

Fan Shangshu glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Although Your Majesty has a decree to let you recuperate, but you have also been recuperated for a month, and the yamen of the Supervision Yuan has not been there for a day...... What the hell are you hiding?"

Fan Jian was shocked in his heart, for fear that his father would see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and hide when you can, after marrying Wan'er, except for the time when the Hanging Temple was injured, I haven't had such a casual life." ”

At the mention of the Hanging Temple, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't let his father notice.

In fact, he hid in the mansion for a month and refused to go to the Supervision Yuan, but there was only one reason - he was very afraid of running into Chen Pingping. If he really met Chen Pingping, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but ask the other party something and confirm something. Although the old cripple still chooses to be silent and separated out of love for himself, but when the old and young really meet, how should they get along? There are many emperors who don't understand things, but Fan Xian gradually sees them clearly, but the more clearly he sees them, the colder and more worried he becomes.

After a few days of such leisure, the autumn mood in Kyoto became stronger and stronger, the sky became cooler and colder, Kyoto became more and more stable, the palace became more and more calm, and most of the eunuchs and palace maids survived and continued to serve people. Father-in-law Dai, who was reinstated, secretly spread the word, saying that some of the people asked by Xiao Fan were alive and some were dead, and he was extremely moved to say that only Lord Xiao Fan would take care of these poor people like this in the world, and thought of how he was back then...... Asking some people's names was actually just a pretense, Fan Xian just wanted to finally confirm Hong Zhu's disposition, but the other news that Dai's father-in-law said made his expression condense.

In the Ming Dynasty, the edict was to be invented.

What the Ming edict said, Fan Xian knew it well, the purpose of His Majesty's sacrifice to the sky was to abolish the prince, and this Ming edict was finally issued, which only proved one point, the one in the East Palace has ...... Maybe that one has been gone for many days, but no one knows, Fan Xian lowered his head, drank tea, didn't say a word, there was no sad look on his face, and it was calm and palpitating.

Lin Wan'er looked at him from the side, knowing what this guy was thinking, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to enter the palace. Fan Xian whispered to her: "There are some things to report to Your Majesty." ”

Lin Wan'er looked at him worriedly.

Fan Xian comforted: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I promised a person something." ”

There were more than 340 Kyoto officials related to the rebellion, plus their subordinates and cronies, and a total of 4,000 people were arrested this time, and the prison of the Supervision Yuan could not be closed for a long time, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were also full of people, and finally even the Western School of Taixue was vacated to imprison prisoners.

According to the Qing law, the rebels will punish the nine clans, even if there is a case of extrajudicial mercy, I am afraid that they will lose two or three thousand heads.

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking to himself that if he was back then, maybe these two or three thousand heads would have fallen off, what did it have to do with him......? Living to this day, I have already understood some truths, at least the things that promise people, you have to do it.

And judging from the situation this month, His Majesty the Emperor's actions are becoming more and more gentle, Fan Xian is a little sure in his heart, at least those women, children and children should be able to live a few more, not to mention whether they accumulate blessings or not, they said that the prince surrendered, at least let the soldiers of Qingguo live a few thousand more, this thought, Fan Xian must return.

Early in the morning, Fan Xian tidied up his official uniform, and with a movement in his mind, he turned around and picked up a piece of cloth and put it in his arms...... Now that Rì is taking this piece of cloth, he is naturally preparing to attack the emperor's heart.

When he got ready, he got into the carriage, but he saw the familiar person across the street looking at him with a smile. Fan Xian looked down at his black sè official uniform, and then looked at the pure white clothes on the man, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't go, you won't go, even if you pretend to be white and impermanence every day to pull me, I still won't go." ”

Yan Bingyun walked over, with a hint of a smile on his indifferent face, and said, "This is what the dean meant, I, as a subordinate, of course have to bother you every day...... Since you can enter the palace, you naturally have to go back to the hospital to handle the affairs of the hospital, and you will not have to wait for the dean to go to the palace to ask for advice. ”

Fan Xian took a sip on the ground, suddenly thought of entering the palace today, frowned, and whispered a few words in Yan Bingyun's ear. Yan Bingyun looked at him slightly, thinking that all traitors should be punished, and this matter was done in accordance with the Qing law, and His Majesty did not make a big move, why did Lord Tisi enter the palace to admonish?

He looked at Fan Xian like a monster, shook his head and said: "There are no random arrests in the courtyard, those people have no grievances, and the subordinates are puzzled, when did the adult's heart become so gentle." ”

In the eyes of these cronies or friends, under Fan Xian's gentle face, there has always been a strong and ruthless heart, so Bingyun was puzzled and frowned. Fan Xian was a little uncomfortable by him, and said with a slight sigh: "Wait until you have a child after you marry the girl of the Shen family...... You probably get the idea. ”
