In fact, at certain times, everyone will go back and look at their own life, trace the past, and look forward to the future, which is the so-called yesterday, today and tomorrow. However, under normal circumstances, this kind of work is often started after people are tired of life, or they have achieved one of their set goals. The most common model is naturally an old man fishing next to Weishui, while sighing that life is like flowing water under his feet and never returning.

Fan Xian is not a bitter lotus, he has no hobby of fishing, he is still young, but his life is repeated more than everyone else in this world, carefully calculated, he should be a middle-aged man in his thirties, who is about to know the destiny of heaven, but he is forced to stay in a beautiful fragrant skin bag - the word forced is a bit pretentious, leave it alone for the time being - but he will also reflect on it.

is not to sigh that the pretty woman did not work hard for the beautiful and just cause of mankind back then, but to find clarity in a kind of chaos, trying to find his firm and clear goal again, because now he is a little confused.

After being reborn, he has always been a person with a firm goal, on the cliff, once to Uncle Wuzhu based on the three represents, made three wishes, to this day, the three wishes have basically been realized, but not lustful as a fan idler, the women around him are always not more.

The foundation of the three vows is naturally to live, and he has been working hard for this goal, being tough and cold-blooded. Moreover, the hidden skills of the three great wishes, or the attached attributes, are naturally the life ideals he told Fan Shangshu - Quanchen.

Now in Qingguo, in the world, Fan Xian really deserves the word "minister". Walking everywhere, no one is disrespectful, no one is fearless, but it is really like this. The young man who knows the destiny of heaven is still confused after all, this is really the life he wants?

He walked alone on the road from Huayuan to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion (I seem to have written a wrong place name yesterday, sorry.) With his head down, he gestured like a philosopher, but he was followed by several tiger guards, and there were many secret agents of the Supervision Yuan on both sides of the street to protect him.

"Little Fan-sama. ”

"Little grandfather. ”

"Chincha-sama. ”

"Lord Tisi. ”

A series of salutations full of enthusiasm, flattery, and slight fear sounded from his side, Fan Xian was startled, looked up in amazement, and found that he had entered the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion. The officials of Gangnam Province are lining up on both sides, looking at themselves with "veins and affections", indescribably hot and gentle. The whole official office seemed to follow his arrival, and there were countless horses that had eaten bad forage, and the fart was thunderous.

Fan Xian subconsciously scratched his head, not caring about the slight loss of official authority in this action, and laughed self-deprecatingly. Getting rid of all the metaphysical things that were around your mind before, yes, life does need purpose. But it may be too early for me to start doubting life now. Newton didn't become a real god until he was old, and Xiao Ai spent the rest of his life gritting his teeth with the Great Unification, but after all, these two cattle people are considered to be the return to simplicity after washing up the lead, what are they themselves?

After all, he is a layman, and he must admit that he still enjoys the benefits of vanity, power, money, and fame after all.

Fan Xian greeted the officials amiably, and walked to the study of the governor's mansion, thinking that he was different from Ye Qingmei, so he should not sprinkle the brilliance of idealism on his body.

In this world. No, in all worlds, idealists are lonely and lonely, and they are all prone to death, and Fan Xian cannot accept these two items.

It's better to be an honest minister, he thought to himself.

However, when he walked to Xue Qing's study, lowered his head and chatted with Xue Qing for a long time, he began to laugh at himself again in his heart, is this kind of thing a powerful minister can be done if you want to? That depends on whether His Majesty allows you to do it, a mediocre and incompetent emperor may be set aside by a powerful minister, but how can a character like Emperor Lao Tzu give himself such a chance, he has lived for more than thirty years, how can he still be so innocent and cute?

He stretched his waist, squinted at Xue Qing in the Taishi's chair with his eyes closed, scolded in his heart, and said: "Just let the household department do this kind of thing, this inner library has always been under the control of the Supervision Yuan...... Why did you suddenly ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come and make a hand? A few months ago, those imperial historians were not all imprisoned, where did so many people come from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check the accounts? Even if there are enough people, those guys who only know how to gnaw on the scriptures are afraid that they will faint when they look at the numbers on the accounts. Lord Xue, you have to break this matter...... Jiangnan is good, and there are some people, which is really a little unthinkable. ”

Xue Qing smiled, and secretly cursed in his heart, thinking that the household department was opened by your Lao Tzu, the Supervision Institute was in charge of you, and the inner library was under your ass, so what a fart is this? Kyoto has long had opinions on this matter, and at this time, the door has a new idea, isn't it just that you kid is afraid that you kid will steal all the things in the inner library and sell them.

However, Fan Xian has been in Jiangnan for a year and a half, and he has cooperated very well with Xue Qing, and the two have a tacit understanding, and Xue Qing doesn't know how much oil and water he has fished out of him, this can not be explained, after thinking about it, he said: "It's not impossible to come to someone to investigate, but you have a grudge with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, let them investigate, who knows if they will declare their personal vendettas." ”

These words can only be said in private by these high-ranking officials.

"Can't you stop it anymore? Shu Wu, the old man and Scholar Hu, are they idle and have nothing to do?" Anyway, there are no outsiders in the study, Fan Xian said angrily, but he knew in his heart that nominally it was the letter sent by the middle school under the door, but in fact, it was the meaning of the emperor Lao Tzu, and the Inner Library Supervision Institute let himself pinch it with one hand, after all, it was not a proper way, and he mixed a handful of He Zongwei brand sand in the Kyoto Supervision Institute, but he was pressed by Pingping and did not dare to breathe, this is to go to Jiangnan.

Fan Xian was wary of whether the emperor did not believe his explanation of China Merchants Qianzhuang, or whether he was wary of the relationship between himself and the people of Northern Qi. As for the smuggling, he didn't care much, the eldest princess had been gone for more than ten years, and she had only earned a year's worth of oil and water, and she sent so much snowflakes and silver to the treasury with her backhand, and the emperor Lao Tzu would never be so stingy.

Looking at Fan Xian's somewhat unhappy face, Xue Qing laughed twice. He comforted: "It's not for the people in the court to see, what are you worried about? Even if you send a third division led by the Qin Dispatch to investigate, who can find out what with your hand? Don't forget." You're also a Chincha-sama. ”

Xue Qing flipped his hand, took advantage of the situation to hold the cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.

Fan Xian stared at his steady hand. A thought crossed my mind. Xue Qing knew something about smuggling. But I don't know what's going on, that's why I seem so calm. If he knew that he was secretly damaging the interests of Qingguodi, he was afraid that this old boy would throw this cup of tea to the ground in shock.

He was about to pour some more oil and add to the fire. Unexpectedly, after seeing Xue Qing put down the teacup, he changed his face to an extremely serious face.

Officialdom exchanges. Especially a local emperor like Xue Qing and a prince like Fan Xian, they basically put some important things in the hip-hop, so as not to make each other feel too separated. There is a bad momentum that tends to be cold, so Xue Qing is so serious at this time. Fan Xian saw it for the first time, and couldn't help frowning.

Xue Qing was silent for a long time. Slowly spoke: "Kyoto affairs, Lord Xiaofan, you naturally know better than me, I don't know what you think?"

Opinion? This kind of big thing, Lao Tzu has no opinion at all. Fan Xian kept his mouth shut. didn't say a word, just looked at Xue Qing's beard with a smile, as if he admired it very much, anyway, this world. Except for those great grandmasters plus Emperor Lao Tzu. He is not afraid of anyone, so he naturally dares to pose as a clay sculpture.

Xue Qing coughed twice and looked at Fan Xian's appearance. Knowing that what he was asking was too unlevel, and the other party's scoundrel was more qualified than himself, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and after thinking for a moment, he said directly: "Let's make it clear, Your Majesty...... It's going to be scrapped. ”

Fan Xian was stunned, as if he hadn't heard this sentence clearly, and after a while, he came back to his senses and stood up suddenly. Staring at Xue Qing's eyes, he didn't speak for a long time.

He was indeed shocked in his heart, not shocked by the waste of the reserve itself, nor shocked by Xue Qing's discussion with him, but shocked by the fact that since Xue Qing dared to say it in front of him, it was definitely not that he guessed it, but that the emperor in the palace had already heard the wind about his diehards, and at the same time began to blow the wind through him.

――――――

Is the canonical theory about to begin?

Xue Qingdi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looked at him and said with a smile: "Why is Lord Xiao Fan so surprised? Isn't this matter what you expected?" He suddenly sighed, a hint of pity flashed between his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Actually, I'm not afraid that you know, I have already persuaded His Majesty to give up this idea, but it has no effect." ”

"You want me to do the same?" Fan Xian looked at him.

Xue Qing sneered slightly: "What is the relationship between you and the crown prince, everyone knows that the old man will not be so stupid." ”

After a pause, he said softly: "Your Majesty has made up your mind, and we courtiers have to do things according to the rules......" Speaking of this, Xue Qing paused again, and seemed to be very puzzled in his heart, obviously the prince has gradually grown up in the past two years, and he has a lot of sincerity, and he has made a lot of progress in all aspects, why did His Majesty suddenly abolish the reserve, but he vaguely guessed that there must be a problem within the royal family, and in front of Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of the royal family, he would never declare his doubts.

Fan Xian thought for a while and asked, "How many people know about this matter?"

"Jiangnan is a place, you and I must know. Xue Qing said: "But I believe that the governor of the Seven Roads has already received His Majesty's secret order, it depends on when everyone will go." ”

Fan Xian sneered in his heart, the emperor is really ruthless, even a little confused, the prince has performed well in a year, this time he went to Nanzhao not only did not make any mistakes, but won praise from the top and bottom of the court, presumably the emperor wants to abolish the prince, it is too difficult to find an excuse...... He even used the tactic of encircling the central government from the locality.

It's just that although the governor of the Seven Roads speaks extremely powerfully, he is a courtier after all, who dares to take the lead in doing this? Even if it is ordered by His Majesty's secret decree, the seven governors are not stupid, and they must not believe that if they participate in the battle for the throne, what will happen to them in the future.

Xue Qing seemed to see what he was thinking, and said slowly: "This governor, presumably the first official to write a letter to His Majesty to abolish the storage land. ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, looking at Xue Qing's eyes quietly, he knew that this person was the emperor's diehard, but he didn't expect the other party to be so loyal.

"Why?" he reminded the other with a frown.

Xue Qing smiled slightly and looked at Fan Xian: "This is the reason why I invited adults to come today...... Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, and the eight places should be moved. ”

Fan Xian had already sat back in his chair at this time, tilting his head slightly, if he wanted to abolish the reserve, he naturally wanted to use the eight places of the Supervision Yuan to start the head, after all, the prince had a lot of not very good-looking handles in the hands of the inner court and the Supervision Yuan, plus the battle of the Jiangnan Ming family lawsuit about the natural inheritance of the eldest son, no matter which aspect of this matter - the emperor wants to abolish the prince, and he should be the horse in front of the game.

His face was very calm, and he couldn't see the agitation in his heart, and after a while, he said, "A place is a place, and Kyoto is Kyoto, if it's just these actions...... The backlash in the court will be great, and the scholars in the middle of the door will not watch the prince be deposed without fault. ”

What he said was the truth, the ministers were bent on celebrating the country, and what they wanted was stability, and they would of course vigorously oppose the emperor's seemingly absurd move, but they were afraid that they would not know how many rods would sound above the court.

"In particular, the Supervisory Yuan cannot come forward. Fan Xian lowered his head and said: "It's inconvenient for me to come forward, the Supervision Yuan is a secret agency, and I have always been at odds with the prince, and some words came out of my mouth...... It's counterproductive. ”

"Your words are reasonable, and I will report them to Your Majesty. Xue Qing thought for a while and said, "There is something Your Majesty asked me to inform you, and Your Majesty will go to worship the heavens in a while." ”

Fan Xian was surprised again today, frowning for a long time, before slowly tasting the taste, although the way of ghosts and gods in Qingguo could not prevail, and it was not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as Tianyi in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he still had great respect for the ethereal temple, if Emperor Lao Tzu could really make something about the apocalypse......

The classic offensive against the prince was in the front, and the governor of the Seven Great Roads wrote to the back, and then found some courtiers to come out and accuse the prince of being immoral and unworthy of the country, and finally the emperor was in a dilemma, and went to the big temple to worship the heavens, inherit the order of the heavens, and abolish the reserve.

Well, what an absurd play, what a boring trick.

Fan Xian shook his head and asked, "When?"

"A month later. ”
