Chapter 18 The Old Things of the City Gate Are Not Old Things

It was clear in the newspaper that the post of commander of the Kyoto Forbidden Army was no longer in office, but was handed over to the palace, and after the palace was put down in Kyoto, he regained the old position of the commander of the Ouchi guards, and now he is also the commander of the forbidden army, which is not a surprising thing. The Ye family's loyalty to His Majesty is known to the whole world, and the palace is no longer in charge of the security of the eldest prince, of course, it can only be handed over to the palace coder.

But now the question is what position His Majesty will put after the eldest prince is no longer the commander of the forbidden army. There was no mention in the newspaper, and there was no clear news in Kyoto, Fan Xian looked at the paper in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head.

There were several very important personnel appointments in Kyoto, and these appointments were concentrated in the military, and it was obvious that His Majesty had something in mind, and he also began to move his place for His Highness. What caught Fan Xian's attention the most was that Xiao Jinhua, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, was removed from his post and transferred to the Nanzhao Border Army as the deputy governor, while Shi Fei, the governor of the northern camp, was recalled by a decree of His Majesty and took over the very important position of the commander of the Kyoto garrison, while Wang Zhikun, the governor of the Yanjing camp above Shi Fei, was stationary.

Three military general transfers, absolutely unusual. Fan Xian was very aware of the role played by these military generals, and he also deeply understood His Majesty's different attitudes towards these people. For example, Xiao Jinhua, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, was only the commander of the Donghua Gate of the Thirteen Cities Division when he rebelled in Kyoto, because his position was stable, and he blocked the remnants of the Qin family to which the prince belonged in Kyoto, and made great contributions, His Majesty would let him be promoted to three levels in a row and serve as the commander of the Kyoto garrison, which can be regarded as a statement by His Majesty to his loyal ministers.

But Fan Xian had already guessed that His Majesty would definitely not let this small character named Xiao Jinhua serve as the commander of the Kyoto garrison for too long, on the one hand, this person's foundation was too shallow and difficult to convince the public. It is difficult to assume such an important responsibility as the garrison of Kyoto. Secondly. After all, Xiao Jinhua was born in the Thirteen City Gate Division, and His Majesty was the most chilled by the performance of the Thirteen City Gate Division in the Kyoto Rebellion.

The emperor trusted Zhang Deqing the most. Zhang Deqing favored the eldest princess. Although afterwards the emperor killed Zhang Deqing Ling Chi, the three clans. But he still didn't vent his anger, Xiao Jinhua can be regarded as suffering from the pond fish, but this person must be clear about his symbolic role, and he went to Nanzhao to serve as the deputy governor. It should also be acceptable.

However, the situation of the military area in the northern part of the country is more complicated. Yan Xiaoyi was killed by Fan Xian on the top of the mountain, and the Qingguo Zhengbei camp next to Cangzhou was involved in the rebellion, and I don't know how many times it has been purged in the past two years. The imperial court has not let the general Shi Fei officially take over the post of governor of the northern capital. It's just to let him know. It is under the jurisdiction of Wang Zhikun of Yanjing Daying.

General Shi Fei has been Wang Zhikun's deputy general for more than ten years, and there should be no problem with this arrangement. But now that His Majesty has asked Shi Fei to return to Beijing to take over as the commander of the Kyoto garrison. The position of the governor of the northern camp is vacant, who is this left to?

Fan Xian shook his head, thinking that probably everyone could see it clearly, and the border with the Northern Qi was handed over, and he was in the position of the governor of the northern part of the country. Of course, it is reserved for His Highness.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is recuperating after two years of recuperation. Finally, he began to lay out his own chess pieces step by step. Especially in the past two months. The Supervision Yuan and the Dingzhou Army forcibly stabilized the situation in Xiliang and the grasslands. His Majesty the Emperor finally had the heart to prepare everything in the northeast.

It's just that if His Highness wants to become the vanguard commander of the Qing Army, he will be in charge of the 100,000 troops at the forefront of the army. Become the Governor of the Northern Metropolis on the one side of the weight. Then he must accept the other arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor - to accept the side concubine, and the day of the army is the time when the princess will leave the court.

"Boss is not such a person. Fan Xian frowned and thought, His Majesty has already led the Qing army for the Great Prince, and all the roads in the sand field have been paved. Just waiting for the eldest prince to understand his hard work. The problem with embarking on this path is that although the eldest prince is good at the battlefield, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this kind of thing.

I thought about returning to Beijing. Under the oppression of His Majesty the Emperor, he was forced to do such things, Fan Xian was very annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but snort. Although this hum was extremely low, it startled Deng Ziyue and Mu Feng'er beside him. Not sure what exactly happened.

"It's nothing, let's rest quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow. Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows. waved his hand to the two, and after thinking about it, he left Deng Ziyue behind.

He looked at Deng Ziyue, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You have been stationed in the capital for a long time, do you know how the people of Northern Qi view Shi Fei?"

In the past two years, Shi Fei has been stationed in Cangzhou, leading the expedition to the northern camp to compete with a generation of famous generals Shangshan Tiger, although he suffered some small losses, but he won without being in a hurry and was not dry, and the situation was stabilized very well. Deng Ziyue thought about it and said: "General Shi Fei has been serving as the deputy of Wang Dadu in the Yanjing camp in previous years, and his reputation is not very prominent, that is, after going to the northern camp two years ago, he gradually became known to the Qi people. Although there has been no land war in the north and south of Cangzhou in the past two years, under the coercion of the Uesugi Tiger Land, he can still not panic, and this alone proves that Shi Fei's temperament is feminine and capable. ”

"Yin Rou?" Fan Xian asked with some disapproval: "If it was just Yin kneading that could be held, how could His Majesty let him bear such a heavy burden two years ago." ”

Deng Zi

What did Lord Tisi say, in the late autumn of the seventh year of Qingli, the Dadongshan incident happened, and everyone seemed to ignore the fact that Yan Xiaoyi was abandoned in the northern camp near Cangzhou, and they didn't think of the importance there. But Fan Xian never forgot that when His Majesty the Emperor was still trapped on the East Mountain, he had secretly issued a secret order to go to Yanjing, so that the Yanjing camp was ready to take over the Cangzhou Beida camp at any time, in case the Northern Qi people took advantage of the chaos to enter.

This is an extremely important task, as soon as Yan Xiaoyi died, thousands of pro-soldier brigades were captured, if there is no powerful general in charge, I am afraid that the Beida battalion will really mutiny. And the general who was in charge of His Majesty's extremely important will at that time was General Shi Fei.

How to ambush the military heart of the Beida Battalion, not many people know the specific process, but as the Inspectorate Di Fan Xian knows, in his opinion, the process of Shi Fei's order to clear the army is really more like a legend.

General Shi Fei only brought a dozen personal soldiers, and then entered the Cangzhou Beida Camp, holding the holy decree in his hand, and easily controlled the Beida Camp. In the face of an army of 100,000, where did this general get the courage and what kind of ability did he have to make Yan Xiaoyi's Beida Camp as docile as a war horse.

The characters who can do such a big thing are definitely not just feminine. Fan Xian's eyebrows became more and more painful. I always felt that some shadow was hanging over my mind. His Majesty the Emperor is willing to let His Highness lead the Northern Expedition. This is to be expected, but a powerful person like Shi Fei. He didn't stay on the front line, but he was transferred back to Kyoto to serve as the commander of the Kyoto garrison. Who exactly is it against?

As early as the time when the former prince went to Nanzhaodi. Fan Xian had deduced that once the power of the eldest princess melted like ice and snow, he would be greeted by His Majesty the Emperor's merciless reduction of power. and the relentless attack on the older generation of the court in the palace. In the past two years, the Supervisory Yuan has been cut down a lot. But fortunately, His Majesty's favor in himself is increasing day by day. No one in the government and the opposition dared to do anything to themselves. And the elders who worried Fan Xian the most also rebelled from Kyoto. Having gained the most valuable experience, he automatically disappeared from the stage without waiting for His Majesty to make a move.

My father had already resigned from his position as the head of the household department and honestly returned to Lanzhou for the elderly. Although Chen Pingping is still serving as the president of the Supervision Academy, she has long since stopped taking care of things and handed over all the affairs of the Academy to Fan Xian and Yan Bingyundi. And he has already asked His Majesty to resign, but His Majesty really has some pity for the relationship between him and him. Hold on and don't allow it. Of course, among the older generation, the most miserable is the father-in-law in Wuzhou, who is in the counterinsurgency in Kyoto. Former Prime Minister Lin Ruofu made a mistake and lifted everyone who was buried in the court. In the hands of his good son-in-law, he thought that he could make a comeback, but who would have expected that His Majesty the Emperor would return to Beijing safely. It's all a dream.

Not only in vain, His Majesty the Emperor was deeply jealous of the dishonesty of the former Prime Minister. In the past two years, the people who have been slaughtered for many years have been miserable enough, although they have not used any drastic means, but they have also pulled out the last strength of Lin Ruofu in Kyoto.

Regarding this matter, Fan Xian didn't even have room to speak. He only looked at all this with a wry smile, and watched his father-in-law in Wuzhou panic and fear, and secretly wrote to His Majesty one after another. Please, please.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the double face of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er. did not continue to pursue Lin Ruofu.

Thinking about it this way, His Majesty the Emperor intends to sweep away the three old fellows have all consciously retreated to the back of the stage, the Qingguo Imperial Court has been like an iron bucket, Shi Fei has been transferred back to Kyoto, why is it that such a powerful person, not staying in the war to unify the world, but transferred back to His Majesty the Emperor's side, against whom?

Could it be himself? Fan Xian was a little gloomy in his heart, no longer thinking about these questions, raised his head and whispered to Deng Ziyue: "You don't have to pay attention to the affairs of Kyoto. ”

After a pause, he said, "Whatever you hear or know, don't care...... You have to remember that you are an official of the Supervision Yuan, a courtier of Your Majesty, and I am letting you go in Xiliang now for the sake of the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Qingguo. ”

Deng Ziyue is the second person to enter the Qi Nian group, he was personally arrested by Wang Qinian, outside of the old Wang Tou, he is Fan Xian's number one cronie, he has been in Beijing in the Northern Qi Dynasty for the past few years to play the role of the chief of the four Northern Qi commanders, and he also knows that Lord Tisi is promoting himself, and he is not very grateful in his heart. At this time, listening to the ominous meaning of Lord Tisi's words, he couldn't help but be speechless, and his eyes were full of worry.

The three successive chiefs of the Supervision Yuan and the four Northern Qi spy networks are Yan Bingyun, Wang Qinian, and Deng Ziyue, all of whom are Fan Xian's most powerful assistants, and if they don't have an accident like Wang Qinian, they will all be the most cutting-edge officials of the Supervision Yuan in the future.

Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue quietly: "Xiliang's matter is very important, you have to deal with it well, after returning to Beijing, you will take care of the positions of the four hosts first, so that it is relatively simple to support the other seven major places, but you don't care about the rest of the jurisdictions for the time being, or let Yan Bingyun lead it, understand what I mean?"

"Understood. Deng Ziyue nodded, "Thank you, Lord for your grace." ”

"Don't let the Hu people step into my territory. Fan Xian stared into his eyes, "I gave up so much."

You who trust you the most, it will take at least two years to put it in this desert Xiliang Road, for the sake of Shichu, don't let me down. ”

Deng Ziyue's heart was so big that he knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "I will live up to the expectations of adults." ”

Fan Xian nodded, and didn't say anything more, but Deng Ziyue's heart was still full of emotion, he had been following Lord Tisi for five years, but he had never seen the other party explain something so seriously, and what made him feel even more awe-inspiring. Obviously, Master Xiao Fan is just a young man in his early twenties, but when he explains things and does things, he is so calm and stable. looks like an old guy who has been up and down in the court for decades.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "About the Songzhi Immortal Order......

Songzhi Xianling is a begonia, and the news will always spread slowly. But at least for now, except for Fan Xian. Only Deng Ziyue knew this secret. Hearing this request, Fan Xian fell silent. I didn't answer for a long time.

――――――――――――――――――――――

A dozen days later, the convoy of Chincha Fan Xian arrived outside Kyoto, only three days earlier. Fan Xian gave an order, and all the honor guards and dazzling things were withdrawn. This trip was ordered to inspect Xiliang just a formality, the plan under the dark was the most important thing, and there were some small troubles in Kyoto, Fan Xian didn't want to be too ostentatious. So the guard of honor was transformed. It became a convoy of the Inspectorate.

Naturally, there was no problem with the passage of documents in the supervision courtyard, and the officers and soldiers of the City Gate Division did not dare to provoke these masters. The convoy did not wait long outside the West City Gate. Walking towards the city gate, Fan Xian lifted the corner of the curtain of the car window, subconsciously looked out, and couldn't help but think of the first time he entered Beijing, he once caught a glimpse of Ye Ling'er galloping in.

Ye Ling'er should have arrived in Dingzhou now, and Wang Shisanlang will definitely come to Fanfu to report on the New Year's Day. I just don't know if she'll come along. Fan Xiandi couldn't help but smile with relief on his face. Recalling that in the spring of that year, the woman was wearing a light-colored skirt and a white deerskin hat, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains. Eyes clear......

Suddenly, a gray shadow rushed past the convoy. Dangerously brushing the carriage that Fan Xian was riding, this shadow was extremely fast, almost startling the horses of the Supervision Yuan convoy, and the situation was very thrilling.

The swordsmen of the Sixth Division of the Supervision Yuan subconsciously held the handle of the iron chisel. Always ready to make a move.

However, Fan Xian had already seen the gray shadow clearly and shook his head. It was just a little girl on horseback, so why be so nervous. It's just that the little girl on horseback rushed to the ground so fast, and she didn't care at all about the safety of these people and vegetable farmers waiting at the city gate. Fan Xian couldn't help frowning.

Which lady from a powerful family should be that soon, otherwise it wouldn't be so arrogant, Fan Xian stuck his head out of the window, squinted at the woman who rushed into the city gate, looked at the team that was frightened by her horses, and an old farmer who fell to the ground in fright, and his mood became bad.

There were many reasons why he was in a bad mood, but one of the most important ones was because the powerful lady was riding a horse and actually wore a skirt, and like Ye Ling'er, she actually wore a white deerskin hat on her head, or ...... Same as Ye Ling'er.

"Who's this young lady, acting so badly. Fan Xian asked Mu Feng'er next to the car, Mu Feng'er's family is all working in Kyoto, and they are very clear about the people of the powerful families in Kyoto. But today, Mu Feng'er looked at the horse that disappeared far away, and just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

On the contrary, there was a member of the Qi Nian group who went out of the city to greet him and whispered: "It should be the young lady of the Wang family." ”

"Wang family?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that except for the daughter of Wang Zhikun, the governor of Yanjing, who else in the entire Kyoto would dare to be so arrogant. Two years have passed since the Kyoto Rebellion, and the Yanjing camp has performed exceptionally well in counterinsurgency, not only clearing the entire Dongshan Road for His Majesty, but also controlling Yan Xiaoyi's expedition to the northern camp. Now Wang Zhikun is far away in Yanjing, but Shi Fei has been transferred back to Kyoto, this is the so-called Yanjing faction in the army, and it is the time when the saints are grand.

It is said that the Governor of the Metropolitan of the Kingdom of China was grateful for the grace of God and cherished the old house of Kyoto, so he let this young lady return to Kyoto...... Now Shi Fei, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, is a subordinate of the governor of Wang in the past, this Miss Wang is called an uncle, this Miss Wang is said to like the style of Miss Ye in Kyoto the most, so ......" The members of the Qinian group explained in a low voice, an excellent subordinate will always analyze the situation for the boss to avoid unnecessary problems.

"Want to learn from Ye Ling'er?" Fan Xian's lips smiled a little strangely, "The first time I saw Ye Ling'er outside the city gate, the people of Kyoto would automatically make way for her, and I have never seen my apprentice whip people indiscriminately......"

Looking at this scene, he gradually understood in his heart who the proposed concubine of the eldest prince in the palace was, his face gradually became gloomy, and he said: "Don't enter the palace first, go around to Prince He's mansion." ”
