Chapter 65: What happened to Guan Fanqing?
"Finally, an envoy came to see me. Changning Hou said in a trembling voice: "Son, don't look at my father as the queen mother's own brother, but that's Fan Xian, a generation of poets Fan Xian, there is light on my father's face!"
Wei Hua is also gradually sour in his heart, knowing that although his family is rich in clothes and food, quite powerful, but in the very famous Northern Qi Dynasty and the opposition, it has always had a very bad reputation, and he has survived to the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and finally blocked the mouth of some villains, but some people still think that this is a gift from the palace to the queen mother's relatives.
He sighed, knowing that his father studied in Zhuang Mohan back then, and he was also ready to do great things to help the world, but because of his aunt, he could only be an idle marquis, and the accumulation of these years could only be poured away by a glass of wine, so it was inconvenient to say anything more. But thinking of what Fan Xian said before leaving, he was still a little faintly afraid, and asked: "Fan Xian just said that he wants to do business with you? He is the chief of the Southern Dynasty Supervision Yuan, what kind of business can he do? What business does he need you to come forward for?"
Changning Hou responded: "I'm just the middleman, and the person he really needs is Lord Shen." ”
"Uncle Shen?"
"Yes, Fan Xian's father is the head of the Southern Dynasty, and he himself has the identity of a fake county lord and a horse, and he will take care of the inner library business of the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty in the future. This way to the north, if there is no escort from your Uncle Shen, then the business that will not see the light of day will not last long. ”
Wei Hua was as shocked as his father when he heard the news before, and opened his mouth wide and said, "Is he going to ...... Smuggling!"
"This is a trap!" Wei Hua's first reaction was this.
"He doesn't have to threaten me with anything. Changning Hou shook his head disapprovingly.
Wei Hua became anxious: "You don't know, there is still a Chun agreement between the two countries this time, Fan Xian is in a hurry about that matter at the moment, and what His Majesty means is that if it can be delayed, it will be delayed for a few days, and the mission that will be delayed to Nanqing will be in a hurry." You make it like this. Not to mention whether this Tsubaki business is a real thing, if it is really arranged for him to meet with Lord Shen, we will never be able to get out again, Fan Xian will ask me for someone again, how can I delay?"
"Your Majesty said that if you drag it out, you will drag it?" Changning Hou glanced at his son, "Anyway, that person is going to be released, if we can get some benefits, if we can help Fan Xian, we can help Fan Xian, what are you afraid of?" Anyway, your aunt is still in the palace." ”
Wei Hua sighed, not knowing what to say. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Do you think what Fan Xian said is true? My son really doesn't understand why he took such a big risk to smuggle goods to our Northern Qi." ”
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. The Marquis of Changning didn't want to go away, thinking that he had seen through the hearts of the world, and said with a sneer: "Neiku? It's such a big bun, but unfortunately it is not his Fan's family after all! Even if his father is the head of the Qingguo Household Department, how much can he get from the treasury? If Fan Xian really sells the goods from the inner treasury to the north in the future, do you know how much this is?"
Wei Hua is smart and clever. With a slight frown, there was an approximate figure, in the past ten years, Qingguo's application degree has basically been supported by the industries left by the Ye family, and at the same time, he has also earned enough money from other places in the world, if Fan Xian really has the ability to do this kind of earth-shattering thing, then he can get benefits from it...... It's horrible!
Fan Xian...... What kind of money?" Wei Hua seems to find it difficult to connect Fan Dacai, who has been rumored all over the world, with the kind of corrupt person he just heard.
Changning Hou poured a glass of liquor with a crooked face. Hiccuped. He said, "What do you think? You know, the poet also wants to eat." ”
After saying this, this genius of Northern Qi back then. Now the moths of the Northern Qi Dynasty are lying on the table and sleeping deeply, covered with fine wine, with a not good taste.
――――――
On the carriage, Wang Qinian glanced at Lin Jing, who was pretending to be sleeping next to him, and showed a disapproving look at Fan Xian, as if he felt that Lord Tisi should not be bold enough to talk about smuggling or something like that in front of the ministers of the imperial court.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "You don't really believe it, do you?"
Wang Qinian really believed it, and Gao Gao also believed it. If anyone can control all the inner library, they can really get countless times the huge profits in front of those glass jars and jars, and they can change hands? Fan Xian is not moved, because for the eldest princess, the inner library belongs to the imperial court. And for Fan Xian, the inner library ...... It's the Ye family's, it's its own, and at least one day it will completely become its own.
Stealing one's own goods and selling them north for a bargain? Only a fool would do that. But the problem is that no one knows Fan Xian's true thoughts, and no one knows the historical relationship between Fan Xian and the so-called Imperial Merchants of the Inner Library, so everyone who hears Fan Xian's plan will think that Fan Jiazi really wants to dig out a gold mine that belongs only to himself from the gold mountain of Inner Library.
Fan Xian didn't want to mine at all, he just wanted to enclose the whole mountain.
"Don't pretend to be asleep. Fan Xian yawned, feeling a little tired. Lin Jing next to him opened his eyes a little embarrassed, and glanced at Fan Xian with some fear, although he was a deputy envoy, but the young official in front of him was not only a chief envoy, but also the master of the terrifying yamen of the Supervision Yuan, the other party did not shy away from talking about those businesses that violated the law and forbade the family and exterminated the clan in front of him, and it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would not give himself any accident on the way back to China.
Fan Xian glanced at him funny, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stupid, say it in front of you, naturally I'm not afraid that you know." When you go back in the evening, write something and hand it back to Kyoto, don't worry, the imperial court will understand what I mean. ”
Even if the court doesn't understand, the emperor understands.
Lin Jing forced herself to believe that the young adult in front of her would not become the biggest corrupt official in the history of Qingguo, swallowed her saliva and moistened her throat, which was a little dry: "My lord, why did you come to the Changning Marquis Mansion today?"
"First, have a good relationship with the people on the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, well, it seems that the Emperor of Northern Qi takes good care of the mission. Fan Xian lowered his head, closed his eyes and became sleepy, and continued: "At the same time, let Changning Hou deal with the matter at the gate of the previous mission, after all, he beat the baby rabbit cub of the Marquis of Northern Qi, and he has to deal with it......"
Hearing the five words of baby rabbit cub, Wang Qinian and Gao Gao smiled at the same time, feeling that the adults were very right.
“...... so as not to affect the business of this mission. Third, I want to see that Lord Shen, only through Changning Hou's arrangement. Fourth, I want to scare Wei Hua, whether Hou Fu believes it or not, the bag of food I threw out, but I think he should make the process faster in secret. ”
"Why do you want to go around so many times...... Go to see the envoy Shen Commander of the pacification envoy?" Lin Jing frowned and said: "This person is a high-ranking official with real power, unlike the Marquis of Changning, and the Northern Qi Dynasty will not allow it." ”
"So it depends on what Changning Hou thinks, anyway, even if you can't see it, there is not much harm. Fan Xian opened his eyes and yawned again, "As for why you want to see it, this is a hospital business, so it's inconvenient to talk to Lord Lin." ”
Lin Jing was stunned, remembered Fan Xian's true identity, and was silent.
Fan Xian yawned again, and there was a constant yawn on the carriage all the way, it seemed that he was indeed tired enough, and after entering the palace today, there was no time to rest.
"What are you going to do for a while?" Wang Qinian whispered: "After all, this is the enemy country going to Beijing, our eyes are black, do you want to connect the eyes and ears of the people everywhere in Beijing?"
"Said no. Fan Xian stuffed his fist to his mouth, forcibly stopped the yawn that was about to come out of his mouth, and replied with a tired face: "Don't let those spies take risks, it's not that time yet, what will you do?" Just sleep, wait for Wei Hua to lead us to see Yan Bingyun tomorrow." ”
He pinched the stiff envelope in his clothes, and a hint of worry welled up between his brows.
―――――
After reading the letter, Fan Xian took a slap of his hand and ruthlessly crumpled the letter paper into pieces, this is a habit he developed when he was in Cangshan, those fragments have become powdery, even if the intelligence master of the Second Division of the Supervision Yuan collects it, it cannot be restored again.
The letter was written by a person named Huang Yi, Fan Xian had heard of this name, it was a strategist of the eldest princess in the Xinyang Imperial Palace, and in the most secret information of the Supervision Yuan, it was pointed out that there was some warm relationship between this scribe and the eldest princess.
"Help, help, I'm not a firefighter. Fan Xian smiled bitterly, only then did he know that there was such a complicated relationship behind the matter. Chen Pingping obviously didn't know that Sean had the secret of the temple, and the eldest princess didn't know either, so the starting point for them to do things was very simple and clear.
Chen Pingping wanted to say that Bingyun would come back and Sean would die, because he didn't like the many old men in the north, and he thought that this was an excellent opportunity for Fan Xian's growth.
The eldest princess ignored Bingyun's life and death, but wanted Sean to be alive to regain the power of Jinyiwei, because she liked to watch the Uesugi Tiger and Sean join forces, standing between the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi and the emperor, looking at the empty space, and making the big country in the north even more uncomfortable.
Although he didn't know the eldest princess's overall plan, Fan Xian had already decided that the mother-in-law, who was far away in Xinyang, must have reached some kind of secret agreement with Uesugi Tiger, otherwise she would not have invested so much.
The eldest princess didn't know about the paper, and she didn't find out about the night visit to Guangxin Palace. But Fan Xian, as a black-clothed man hidden in the dark, naturally respects the eldest prince and waits for the opportunity to move, at this time he is far away in a foreign country, but he can't help but feel a little ridiculous when he follows her letter.
After all...... What's the matter with Fan Qing?
