There was not too much cold and noisy aftermath, no too much greetings, no too much sorrow and anger, the members of the Qi Nian group who stayed in this secluded courtyard greeted Fan Xian very calmly, and then used the shortest time to report the internal situation of the Supervision Yuan that they had mastered. In these seven years, a large number of the military forces of the Privy Council stationed outside the Supervision Yuan have been withdrawn, and the cleansing and blood exchange work within the Supervision Yuan has also been carried out extremely quickly and effectively under the strong pressure of the palace's will and the cooperation of Yan Bingyun.

These pieces of information are extremely sensitive and important, but the members of the Qi Nian team in this courtyard were originally able officials in the supervision courtyard at the beginning, and these seven people deliberately inquired about Fan Xian, who was under house arrest in the mansion, and really found out a lot of news.

Fan Xian listened silently and nodded slightly, after Chen Pingping's death, after his own dean was removed, His Majesty the Emperor exchanged blood and filled the Supervision Yuan, which was a matter of prejudgment, there is a saying that Bingyun's helper, plus Junwei is here, the Supervision Yuan has no leader, and no one can forcibly reverse this trend.

"Although Yan Bingyun doesn't know about this courtyard, after all, he has often followed adults over the years, and we are a little worried. A member of the Qi Nian group looked at Fan Xian and said, "You need to choose a new meeting place in Kyoto." ”

Although Yan Bingyun has never joined the Qi Nian group, as a senior official of Fan Xian and the Supervision Yuan, he has always been extremely respected by the Qi Nian Group, but these rì Zilai, what Yan Bingyun did in the Supervision Yuan made all the Supervision Yuan officials hate him.

Yan Bingyun is Fan Xian's confidant, but he has never been a person that Fan Xian can fully trust, because this little Yan Gongzi who is good at strategy is a ...... dúlì. Fan Xian was silent for a moment, shook his head, neither expressed his opinion on this, nor did he say that he should continue to choose another joint location, on the one hand, he still had some hope for Yan Bingyun, and even a little faintly worried that Yan Bingyun would die in the anger within the Supervision Yuan, and secondly, after today's meeting, the people of the Qi Nian group must disperse from Kyoto, and the small courtyard that Wang Qinian bought for one hundred and twenty taels of silver was also abandoned, so why bother.

Seeing that Fan Xian didn't respond, the official shook his head and continued to report: "As soon as the city gate is opened, the people who went to Xiliang and Northern Fujian have already gone, and I think that Lord Deng and Lord Su will definitely get the news as soon as possible, please rest assured." ”

This is what Fan Xian was most worried about when he was under house arrest, Deng Ziyue and Su Wenmao were his two most trusted subordinates after Wang Qinian, so he was also assigned the most important duties, one turned to Xiliang after the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the other stared at the inner library in Jiangnan, if these two people were eliminated by the emperor's majesty, Fan Xian was only afraid that he would regret it for life, although he didn't know if His Majesty would have the leisure to arrange the killing in advance, but since the news was handed out, Fan Xian was slightly relieved.

He glanced at these members of the Qi Nian group beside him in the courtyard, and the corners of his lips curled slightly and smiled gently, he was under house arrest in the mansion for seven years, and the subordinates here were also busy for seven years, in addition to inquiring about the news, today he finally tried his best to enter the Fan Mansion, I have to say that these subordinates are the most effective people in the Supervision Yuan.

The name of the Qinian group was taken from Wang Qinian, from the fourth year of Qingli to the disappearance of Wang Qinian in the autumn of the seventh year of Qingli, for three years, all the members were selected to enter, and Wang Qinian decided to do so. These members were originally inconspicuous non-staff civilian personnel in the Supervision Yuan, or lower-level officials who were not reused, but they happened to fit Fan Xian's eyes, Wang Qinian's temper, once these officials were under Fan Xian's command, they suddenly regained their original strong execution ability, regained their brilliance, and became a very secret but well-known group within the Supervision Yuan, a group directly under Fan Xian.

For example, in these rìzi, the response of these members of the Qi Nian group is very good at Fan Xian's style, once they know that something is not harmonious, they escape into the darkness as soon as possible, and on the premise of saving their lives, they do not do anything impulsively, but carefully probe the reactions and intelligence of all parties, and then find a suitable way to leave it to Fan Xian to decide.

Having such a group of subordinates who are loyal but not arrogant, capable and not blind, I have to say that Fan Xian is a kind of luck. His eyes swept over the faces of all the people in the courtyard, and his heart moved, and he suddenly thought that in addition to Wang Qinian's discerning eyesight, how could there be so many jīngying in the Supervision Yuan who had been buried for many years and covered with dust for many years, but they had to wait for himself to come to Kyoto from Lanzhou before they were discovered? Does Wang Qinian really have such a vicious vision? Or do these ...... A loyal subordinate, who was originally suppressed by the ancestor of the Supervision Yuan, and left it for his own use now?

Fan Xian's brows furrowed, his heart was confused, thinking of Chen Pingping's kindness to him, he was speechless for a long time, sighed, but he didn't have time to ask these subordinates anything, he waved his hand directly, and walked into the quiet room next to the well at the back of the courtyard.

There is a big desk in the room, on which is placed the special paper envelope of the Supervision Institute, and a complete set of tools for fire paint secret language, the inkstone is placed on the right side of the desk, the weather in early autumn is not very cold, and it is still very simple to dissolve the ink, but Fan Xian did not grind the ink, but directly took out the pencil made from the inner library from under the desk, and played with it with two fingers.

The tip of the pencil never fell on the snow-white paper, and he tried many ways to escape from the eyes of the imperial court and came to this small courtyard, there is no doubt that Fan Xian had already thought clearly about what kind of order he should issue, but he finally put the pencil down, once anything fell on the paper, it was the handle and the possibility of leakage.

In the winter of the sixth year of Qingli, he often came to this small courtyard, at that time the younger brother of the manager was still held hostage by him, at that time Begonia was still in the small courtyard in the north to urge Si Zhe to grind, at that time Fan Xian often wrote letters to Begonia, think about it, at that time, although the eldest princess and the second prince in the capital were very happy, but in fact, the mood was stable and happy, but now Begonia Blossom has become the enemy of Qingguo on the grassland, Si Zhe was forced to disappear in the capital, and Fan Xian's mood has already changed.

All the members of the Qi Nian group stood in the room, silently waiting for Fan Xian to give instructions.

"Leave Kyoto at once, and never return until I have received my written order. Fan Xian didn't spend much time sorting out his feelings, stared at everyone and said in an accentuated tone: "This is the first order, you must survive." ”

"Yes. Everyone replied in a deep voice, and then went out under Fan Xian's gaze, leaving only two people.

The Qi Nian group has been under Wang Qinian's control for the first three years, and later it was handed over to Deng Ziyue, after Deng Ziyue went to the Northern Qi Dynasty, Fan Xian was in charge of it himself, and Mu Fenger was only responsible for personal affairs. The number of people in the group is not much, and a lot of people have died in the turmoil over the years, and now some people are in Xiliang with Deng Ziyue, some people are in Jiangnan and northern Fujian with Su Wenmao, and a large number of people are left in Dongyi City by Fan Xian, and those who are still in Kyoto at this time are the only subordinates of Fan Xian who can directly move, and because of this, Fan Xian does not want them to damage anyone again.

Fan Xian stared at one of the two people in the room, took out a jade hook from his arms, handed it over and said: "You go to Qingzhou, don't alarm the people everywhere, go directly to the grassland with Xia Mingji's caravan, find Hu Ge, and tell him that I need him to launch a feint attack in the late autumn season to trap the armies of Qingzhou and Dingzhou in Xiliang Road." ”

The official took the jade hook and said directly: "King Zuo Xian has been dead for almost a year, although Hu Ge has the secret support of the adults and has gathered a lot of strength, but if you want to say that the Hu people braved the dangerous climate in late autumn and early winter to attack my Daqing City, I am afraid that he does not have this energy yet." ”

Everyone knew that it was not easy for Fan Xian to come out for a trip, so these subordinates did not hide their opinions, but expressed their intentions as quickly and completely as possible.

"It's just a feint, and besides, he wants to take revenge, and if he can consume the strength of the royal court and the right virtuous king, he is definitely willing. Fan Xian said: "As for the problem of insufficient energy, you sue him, and I will arrange for people in the royal court to stand on his side." ”

"But the news of Kyoto will presumably also spread to the grassland, once Hu Ge knows that the adults have lost power...... Will he tear up the agreement in Dingzhou City?" The official who took the jade hook still fully expressed his opinion.

Fan Xian didn't have a trace of impatience, and said: "Hu Ge is a smart person, he must put the bet on me. He glanced at the jade hook in the official's hand, shook his head and said, "If he wants the owner of the jade hook to live." ”

The jade hook is the ornament of Ma Suosuo, the last princess of a certain tribe of the Hu tribe in the grassland, since childhood, when Rì met Hu Ge in Fan Xian in Dingzhou City, he once gave Fang, and this time the token is the second. Although Masoso is now placed in Beppu of the Great Prince, her identity still belongs to the Baoyue Lou family, no matter how Fan Xian loses power, it is not too difficult to deal with this weak woman.

The official thought for a moment, felt that there was nothing missing in the instruction of the dean, put the jade hook in his arms, left the study, and left the small courtyard on his own, as for how this member of the Qi Nian group escaped from Kyoto, how to cross Qingzhou into the grassland, and contact Hu Ge, that was his problem, Fan Xian believed in the ability of these subordinates.

"You go to Dingzhou, enter the General's Mansion, and find the prince Hongcheng. Fan Xian's arms were like a treasure chest, and he took out a page from it, and the handwriting on the paper was vaguely a poem, "This is a token, now that Kyoto is in turmoil, I have been kicked out of the Supervision Yuan, and his side must have received the news early, but I am afraid that I will not believe the waist card of the Supervision Yuan and the waist card of the Qi Nian Group, you show him this page, and he will know that you are my person." ”

This page is torn from a book, the book is a collection of poems from the previous dynasty, this is still many years ago when Fan Xian spent the winter in Cangshan, the second prince Tong Guò Hongcheng's hand gave Fan Xian a gift, I am afraid that many people have long forgotten, but Fan Xian knows that Hongcheng will not forget.

"Tell Sù Hongcheng all the news about Hu Ge and the Hu people who will invade at the beginning of winter, let him be prepared and fight as hard as possible......" Fan Xian's brows furrowed slightly, "Well, he should be able to understand what I mean now, he just wants to find a way for him not to be recalled to Kyoto, he should know what to do, just remind him that the two sides should cooperate better, I will give him this seemingly difficult bone, but it is actually delicious fatty meat, don't really let the Hu people take advantage." ”

"Yes, sir. The officer took the order and left.

............ Some people go out, some people go in, and Fan Xian methodically communicates his will to the forces he cares about and can influence.

"You go to Dongyi City, find Mu Feng'er first, tell him what I mean, the rebellion of Xiaoliang Kingdom can be used to keep that fire about the same size, don't burn too much, and don't extinguish it too quickly. ”

"After you are done, you go to see Wang Shisanlang again and tell him that I will wait for him in Kyoto. Fan Xian sat behind the desk and frowned slightly, provoking the civil strife in Dongyi City, he could drag the eldest brother over there, but he was a little sorry for Wang Shisanlang, so he had to hide it from him first, "Besides...... Let him use the sword to order the sword on my behalf, pick out two trustworthy ones, and send them to Jiangnan and Su Wenmao's side. ”

"You personally deliver this letter to His Highness, and tell him that Kyoto is fine, don't rush back. Fan Xianmeiyu was a little worried, because he could explain his thoughts clearly to Li Hongcheng, but he didn't have the confidence to control the eldest prince.

Once Chen Pingping's tragic death reached Dongyi City, I was afraid that the anger in the heart of the eldest prince would not be inferior to his own, the eldest prince called Chen Pingping his uncle since he was a child, and regardless of the close relationship between Ning Cairen and Chen Pingping back then, Chen Pingping kept the eldest prince who was still in the womb of Ning Cairen, but said that the friendship between the eldest prince and Chen Yuan over the years, I am afraid that with the xìng of the eldest prince, maybe he will return to Kyoto with hundreds of personal soldiers!

However, what Fan Xian was most afraid of was this, the only order he issued before returning to Beijing after a surprise attack was to let Mu Feng'er and his party turn back to Dongyi City, and tell the eldest prince not to return to Beijing, but how could Mu Feng'er alone stop the anger of the eldest prince? As a last resort, Fan Xian still wrote a letter in person, earnestly asking this eldest brother who was deeply inherited by his mother to reluctantly control the urge to question His Majesty and the desire to avenge Chen Pingping, and honestly stay in Dongyi City.

Whether it was Li Hongcheng, who led the troops in Dingzhou, or the great prince who controlled 10,000 jīng soldiers in Dongyi City, they were the only two forces that Fan Xian could count on in the Qingguo world, but these jīng Rui's troops belonged to Qingguo and belonged to His Majesty, if these two young people from the royal family were recalled to Kyoto either actively or passively, then Fan Xian would have no hope.

Because Fan Xian absolutely believes that as long as Li Hongcheng and the eldest prince return to Beijing, the man sitting on the dragon chair will definitely not give them any chance to lead the troops in a few years, and this is precisely because of their relationship with Fan Xian and Chen Pingping.

In addition to the identity of a member of the Qinian group, Su Wenmao also has the identity of an official of the Inner Treasury Transfer Department of the Imperial Court, and the inner library is the top priority for Fan Xian for Qingguo and for the emperor, and no one can let go, so Su Wenmao can neither hide on the spot, nor can he leave Jiangnan and northern Fujian, so his situation is the most dangerous, Fan Xian can only look forward to the past few years, Su Wenmao has cultivated enough descendants in the three major squares, and also hopes that Ren Bo'an's relatives and brothers can miss the old love, and from his side, in addition to letting Dongyi City Jianlu send masters into Jiangnan to save Su Wenmao's life, and there is nothing too good about it.

The members of the Qi Nian group who went to Jiangnan also shouldered an incidental mission, bringing a message to Xia Qifei for Fan Xian, asking him to choose a rìzi to come to Kyoto in the past two months. Letting this contemporary master of the Ming family come to Kyoto does not mean that Fan Xian has anything important to hand over to him, but just a temptation by Fan Xian for this person, after all, Xia Qifei surrendered to him back then, and he was subordinated to the Qingguo Imperial Court and the terrifying Supervision Yuan that he represented, and now Fan Xian has lost power and returned to a white body, and the Supervision Yuan has been sealed into a mess of mud, who knows if Xia Qifei's heart will have any other thoughts?

The Ming family is very important to Jiangnan, and it is also very important to the cold war between Fan Xian and Emperor Laozi, if Xia Qifei thinks through and worships directly under the dragon chair, what should Fan Xian do? So he must take a look at how loyal Xia Qifei and Jiangnan Shuizhai are to him, if Xia Qifei really forgets everyone's hard work in Jiangnan back then...... Fan Xian's head lowered slightly, so he had to let the Ming family change the owner again, and then let the Merchants Money Village come out.

............ One by one, the orders were issued, and the members of the Qi Nian group took the order and left, without the slightest lingering, and after a while, this lonely and secluded small courtyard was empty, leaving only Fan Xian behind the desk in the room and the official in front of him, which seemed extraordinarily quiet, and the slightly humid autumn wind blew in the slightly dry air, blowing the bucket next to the well in the courtyard and making a few sounds.

Probably no one could have imagined that in such an inconspicuous courtyard, a young man who had been robbed of all his official positions and stripped of his ownership authority issued one command after another, intending to make a final struggle against the powerful state apparatus of Qingguo.

"Why did you change your name to Hong Yiqing?" Fan Xian looked at the last member of the Qi Nian Group who remained, gently rubbed the knife he had just taken out of his arms with his fingers, and asked softly.

This subordinate is the person who found out in Qingzhou City that the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty intended to use the Beihai knife workshop to provoke the relationship between Fan Xian and Emperor Qing, this person has made great contributions in Qingzhou City, and is the first batch of people placed in the Supervision Yuan by Wang Qinian, Fan Xian saw this person thinking of the old Wang, so he transferred him to his side, and followed him to Dongyi City, the last time Fan Xian returned to Beijing to report on his work, he left him in Kyoto to contact in the center, and it is precisely because of this that this person has the opportunity to face Fan Xian at the end, not in Dongyi City.

"I heard that there was an adult named Hong Changqing in the past, who was brave and righteous, and won the appreciation of the adults, and finally died in the battle of the rebellion in the port of Shanzhou. ”

"Don't die. Fan Xian sighed, and also thought about the Qingwa who died under Yan Xiaoyi's arrow, Qingwa survived under the hellish situation of the sailor slaughtering the island and the water birds and cannibals, but he didn't live two more years with him.

He handed the knife in his hand to Hong Yiqing, stared at his eyes and said word by word: "There is an important matter to keep you in the end, you have to listen clearly, and don't miss a word." ”

"Yes, sir. Hong Yiqing felt a little nervous.

"I have sent two people to Xiliang Road, but Deng Ziyue is still in the Ming place, the court will definitely accept him, even if he can escape, but the manpower I arranged there, but someone needs to continue to do it, you have been in Qingzhou City for a long time, and you are familiar with Xiliang Road, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Hong Yiqing was slightly stunned, his throat was a little dry, and his face was slightly hot, he never thought that the dean would actually hand over such an important mission as the head of Xiliang Road to himself.

"But the most important thing is that you also have to go into the grassland, find the king's tent, and find a woman named Songzhi Xianling. Fan Xian's eyes narrowed, looked at him and said word by word: "You sue her, don't care about the bitter lotus or Doudou, take care of me first! Let her cooperate with Hu Ge and persuade Shan Yu." ”

Hong Yiqing didn't know that Fan Xian had arranged some things on the grassland before, and he was a little puzzled, but he responded calmly.

"I chose you because Songzhi Xianling has seen you. Fan Xian lowered his head and said calmly: "Give her this knife, and then let her leave the grassland and come to Kyoto to meet me." ”

"What if she doesn't leave?" Hong Yiqing asked subconsciously.

Fan Xian raised his head, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Just say that I'm going to die, she can't come if she loves it." ”

This is very helpless and scoundrel. Hong Yiqing looked at Fan Xian in a daze, he couldn't figure out how the seemingly omnipotent Dean would say such affectionate words, and he couldn't understand what kind of character that Songzhi Immortal Order would make adults value it so much.

At the moment of receiving the knife, Fan Xian's fingers suddenly stiffened, and he stood up from behind the desk. Hong Yiqing noticed something strange after a while, his face was slightly pale, he took out the dagger that fed the poison from his boots, and quietly walked behind the door of the room.

Because there was a movement outside the door, because this secluded courtyard that absolutely no outsiders knew, someone suddenly came.
