Chapter 107: Seven Days

The servants and maids of the Fan Mansion heard this will clearly. I felt that a thunderbolt slashed down mercilessly and cruelly, and the entire Fan Mansion began to tremble and shake. The faces of the people kneeling outside the hall turned pale and their hearts were shocked, and they felt uneasy and frightened for the young master.

It's not just them. Including the officials and people of the entire Kyoto, they all know very well what the foundation of power in the hands of Lord Xiao Fan is, and His Majesty's will to seize the official position is to cut off the roots of Lord Xiao Fan, but kneeling on the ground, Fan Xian heard this will. The expression on his face remained calm. He didn't show any sense of shock or sadness, for all this was what he expected. Just as he has been tossing and turning in bed for these two days, His Majesty will try to do so during this time. Gradually cut off the layers of power defenses that shrouded Fan Xian's body.

After careful calculation, since he met Wang Qinian on the way back to Beijing in Dongyi City, in these short ten days, Fan Xian didn't know how many rebellious things he had done. The Black Rider roars from state to county. This is a big taboo in the first place. Moreover, the five hundred black horsemen rushed to more than ten passes in a row, and they were charged with a great crime between the government and the opposition, plus Fan Xian killed the commander of Zhengyangmen when he broke into Kyoto, and stabbed to death several strong men on the court in front of the eyes of all the people......

A tsubaki and a tsubaki are all sins. are all unforgivable sins in Qinglu, even if he is Fan Xian. There must also be a price to pay for this. His Majesty did not let him go to prison. It is already lenient enough, but this kind of leniency cannot calm the discussion and pressure in the civil officialdom, and today's will can be regarded as a preliminary explanation to the world and a channel for His Majesty to vent his anger.

As for what kind of will come out in the palace in the future. What kind of blows and losses Fan Xian will suffer depends on Fan Xian's response. And officialdom and folk rumors.

Fan Xian stood up a little sneeringly. He took the holy decree from the hands of Grandpa Dai. Very casually handed over to the clearance behind the door to settle down. I didn't read it carefully at all, because the sin in the decree was very real. He is not prepared to fight any lawsuits with the palace in these aspects.

"Let's have a cup of tea and go. Fan Xian looked at Grandpa Dai gently. Dai Gonggongdi's face uncontrollably showed an embarrassed and uneasy expression, he has been up and down in the palace in the past few years, in fact, all because of the young magnate in front of him. However, today it was he who came to the Fan Mansion to read this will. Dai Gonggong did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"The slave has to go back to the palace. Dai Gonggong glanced at Fan Xian with uneasy eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty is just angry for a while. It will be fine in a few days. ”

Fan Xian knew why this guy showed such a look. smiled. patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, since Your Majesty has asked you to pick up the important messenger of the decree again." I must have believed in you. ”

Father-in-law Dai bowed respectfully. He was ready to leave. But listening to Fan Xian's low voice, it sounded in his ears: "If you are in the palace, is it good?"

It is taboo for eunuchs and ministers to pass on information privately, but after a little hesitation, Dai Gonggong did not hesitate at all. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Fan is doing very well. I often listen to discussions in the imperial study, and His Majesty treats her very well, so don't worry about it. ”

The Fan Mansion is actually a member of the Li royal family, and with Fan Xian's grace and authority to Dai's father-in-law, this eunuch doesn't care about those taboos. lowered his voice and told Fan Ruoruo about the situation in the palace in the past two days.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly. There was some consternation. He couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking. I don't understand why my sister can look so detached in the palace. Not at all like a hostage.

After the matter of welcoming the order was completed, Fan Xian turned to the main hall, looked at his wife, who had been listening quietly in the rear, and said softly: "Today is the first wave, and I have a lot of ground differences. Your Majesty, if you want to peel it off layer by layer. It will take some time. ”

Lin Wan'er glanced at him. Gently biting his lower lip. said: "If the name is not right, it is not good." Although the position of dean is now vacant, Your Majesty must be waiting for you to enter the palace to ask for guilt. I'll give you this position in a few days, but ...... After all, the imperial power is boundless, and you have lost the position of dean. I want to gather the strength of the courtyard in these days, but I am afraid that there will be some obstacles. ”

"Your Majesty knows this, too. So he cut my position in the hospital with the first sword. Fan Xian sat down. "At least for now," he whispered. He didn't want chaos in the court. So I am slowly cutting, waiting for me to naturally confess my sins and bow my head. It's just that...... For so many years, the Inspectorate has been under the control of the old cripple. Your Majesty still doesn't know a little about it. Even if there are many people in the Supervisory Yuan who will be afraid of imperial power. But there are still more people in the end. Denying the will. Only the mainland inheritance of the hospital is recognized. ”

"Being under house arrest is as difficult a problem as being suicidal. Fan Xian said: "Your Majesty wants the whole world, even myself." They are slowly getting used to the days when I lose my authority. It's a lot easier for me to toss around that way. So I've got to hurry. ”

Lin Wan'er's brows furrowed. She never understood that even if Fan Xian could tear open the big net outside the mansion and get in touch with the members of the Qi Nian group, it would only meet once. What problems can it solve?

"My subordinates are a great bunch of people. Fan Xian saw the doubts in her heart, and said calmly: "And they can help me under house arrest." to reach out to a group of more amazing people. ”

If Fan Xian forcibly broke through the surveillance network outside the mansion, with his current cultivation, it would not be a very difficult thing to do, as he said last night. Unless His Majesty himself. Otherwise, this is the world of the country. It's really hard to find a few people who can keep up with other people.

However, he had to think about the safety of his subordinates and those who were not in Kyoto. Therefore, he could not give any followers to the palace to follow him, so as to follow the map. An opportunity to cleanse one's true roots.

The seizure of the position of president of the Supervision Yuan does not affect Fan Xian through those officials who are loyal to him and Chen Pingping. Regain control of the strength of the Supervision Yuan, and if the imperial court really uses Fan Xian's line to wipe out the teams he has been hiding behind the scenes, it will be much more difficult for Fan Xian to connect with those forces that are far away from the temple.

Therefore, Fan Xian's movements were very careful, and he carefully showed them to the world. But it's a kind of unreasonableness. The decision to kill was particularly bloody, because soon after His Majesty's decree to remove Fan Xian from the post of head of the Supervisory Yuan spread throughout Kyoto. Immediately afterwards, there was news that Lord Xiao Fan had once again attacked the big network of eyeliner in Fan's mansion.

On this day, more than 20 people died outside Fan's mansion.

On the second day, the palace decreed. Snatched away Fan Xian's position as the head envoy of the Inner Treasury Transit Division, and officially stripped the Inner Treasury treasure, which Qingguo relied on as the foundation of national strength, from Fan Xian's control.

That night. Fan Xian shot again. swept the characters in the streets and alleys around Fan's Mansion in a tic-tac-toe shape.

On the third day, the palace issued an order, Fan Xian was strictly reprimanded, and the title of first-class duke was directly seized and taken captive to the end.

Seven days later, all official positions in Nanqing's most glorious young minister were stripped by a ruthless will. Remembering Jiangnan, when the dragon raised his head, there was a long list of prefixes in front of the young minister who stepped down from the boat. To this day, there is not a single one left.

From today. Fan Xian replied to his white body. is even worse than Jinshi Xiucai, who went to Beijing to take the exam, he does not have any official position. Any nominal authority. There is no such thing. The errand of the Ministry of Rites that he had served as a regular in the spring of that year was also remembered by the palace, and the extremely noble position of Zhengqing in Taichang Temple was also taken away.

The only thing left on Fan Xian's body. There is only one teaching position in Taixue. It was also demoted by three ranks, but I don't know why, His Majesty the Emperor did not take away this position.

In these seven days. The relationship between the palace and the Pham Mansion is like a conveyor belt. It transmits His Majesty's calm and indifferent will, and transmits one chilling will after another. Every will is below. The brilliance on Fan Xian's body faded.

The eyes of the officials and people of Kyoto were fixed on the road in front of the Fan Mansion. From that day of the Autumn Rain Dharma, they all knew that this road would be very busy, but they didn't expect that this road would be as busy as it is now.

No one thought that His Majesty's punishment of the little grandfather would be so complete and severe. No one thought that Fan Xian would be so blunt. I resisted for seven days in a row. But he still didn't enter the palace to ask for guilt.

Everyone looked at Fan's house. Waiting for the direction in which this cold war between His Majesty and his illegitimate son will go, it is His Majesty's anger. simply arrested Fan Xian and imprisoned, but Fan Xian couldn't resist this will, and finally relented.

However, even though the local fan is only a memorial himself, the people of Kyoto are still accustomed to calling him Xiao Fan in the after-dinner chat, and the officials who hide in their respective prefectures to watch the progress of the matter are still accustomed to calling him the little grandfather.

Because they all know. Even if Fan Xian has been demoted to a grass person by His Majesty. But as long as he doesn't die, he doesn't go to prison. He could still be the one under one man and above ten thousand at any time.

No one dared to despise Fan Xian's existence. Even to the surprise of many officials, Fan Xian obviously violated countless Qing laws and ignored the imperial court. And killed so many people. However, in the folk discussions, there are still not too many unfavorable remarks against Fan Xian.

In the war between His Majesty and Fan Xiandi, Qingguo appeared for the first time in a strange state that public opinion was not completely in the palace. Maybe it's because Fan Xian killed people outside Fan's mansion. But he wasn't exaggerating. Except for the first and second day. His murderous aura had already subsided a lot. Moreover, the people he killed were all sent out by the palace, so what does it have to do with the general public? Maybe it's because many people in Kyoto have seen that autumn rain. Fan Xian hugged Chen Pingping's corpse and cried bitterly. Subconsciously gave birth to a little sympathy.

Human emotions are so strange that one moment they may still be applauding, and the next moment they may begin to mourn in silence. Countless Dharma fields have descended through the ages, in front of countless deaths. In fact, there have been such progresses in the past.

But it can really make a self-contained place. It still has a lot of civil discussion and support. Or is it about what he has done over the years. Those glorious old things don't need to be brought up one by one to calculate the energy, and there is no need to care about Chen Pingping's use of the eight departments of the Supervision Yuan. How many things have been done for Fan Xian. This is the case, since decades ago, he led the Qingguo Iron Horse to set foot on the dilapidated Chaohe Mountain. After opening up countless lands to His Majesty the Emperor, the only one in Nanqing who can be called an idol is probably only Fan Xian.

If it's in Gangnam. Perhaps Fan Xian can get more support from the local people. Because after all, he's been there for the longest time. Moreover, Lin Wan'er has taken care of the Hangzhou Association for many years, and has already replaced the Ming family and has become the most glorious name in the hearts of the poor people and scholars in Jiangnan.

After all, I'm in Kyoto. Even if the people of the Imperial City are biased towards Fan Xian, it is impossible to do anything, so in the final analysis, this war is still a war between Fan Xian and His Majesty after all, just like the war in the imperial study.

Seven days later, nothing was decided. The world is not peaceful, and there is still an autumn wind outside Fan's mansion, with occasional drizzle. However, under Fan Xian's sweeping like a killing god. Those eyeliners sent out by the inner court. I had no choice but to pull the big net outward.

The majesty of the imperial land is undoubtedly supreme, and so is the fear of death. In the midst of this pincer attack. There was no doubt that the surveillance of the inner court would reveal flaws, and Fan Xian stood coldly at the door of the mansion. Quietly watch the movement around you. In his heart, he remembered Wan'er's words that day, and a trace of strange emotion flashed in his eyes.

If Emperor Lao Tzu wants to deal with Fan Xian's face-tearing resistance. In fact, there are many ways. Why didn't he use it? Was it because he was forced to do this kind of trick, or did His Majesty the Emperor secretly make some will? Those eyeliners are inexhaustible......

Fan Xian was a little puzzled. I don't want to think about it, maybe the man in the palace still has some warmth and hope for him, but he doesn't want this warmth and hope to shake his heart again. The heart that had already cooled down in the autumn rain.

He turned around and entered the Fan Mansion. Not long after, a carriage delivering vegetables also turned into the side alley next to Fan's Mansion and entered the corner gate, outside the corner gate, of course. The carriage was subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Even the inner layer of every cabbage, every radish and root whiskers have not been spared.

The people in charge of these inspections are all local officials with clear identities, and unlike those inner court eyeliners scattered around Fan's mansion, Fan Xian is not embarrassed by these people. Because he wanted to get out of the shackles of house arrest. It's only those eyeliners that need to be careful. And not these officials.

There was nothing unusual about the carriage that delivered the vegetables, and the official waved his hand and let the carriage enter the Fan Mansion, and not far from the corner gate, it was the large kitchen of the Fan Mansion. His own servants came to carry the vegetables and fruits on the cart.

Under the will of the palace, it is clear that it is impossible for anyone in the Fan Mansion to go out. And it is extremely difficult for people from outside to get in. Even this carriage was actually sent directly by the Vegetable Inspection Department of the Dengshi Entrance. Since the source, he has been under the surveillance of the imperial court, and he is naturally not afraid of what the Fan Mansion or those restless officials of the Supervision Yuan want to do.

The coachman in the carriage quietly wiped the kitchen and walked to the back garden without everyone noticing. Then, under the command of an old servant of the Fan Mansion, he went directly into a quiet study.

As soon as the coachman entered the study. I saw that there was a woman besides Fan Xian. I immediately guessed that it should be the dean's wife. After being slightly stunned, he took off his straw hat, knelt down and saluted, "I've seen the dean." ”

After the coachman took off the straw hat, Lin Wan'er covered her mouth in surprise and said, "It's true." ”

The driver was a little embarrassed. But he didn't dare to say anything. stood up and said directly: "These days, the guards outside the mansion are strict, so everyone doesn't dare to move. ”

"This is the leader of my New Year's group. It did me a great favor in Northern Qi back then. Fan Xian gently explained to his wife. This Inspectorate official resembles himself. has been hidden in the Qi Nian group, but he didn't expect it. After being locked down for seven days, the group ventured into the house to connect with them. It could be this person.

"It's best not to move, nothing matters more than your own life. Fan Xian looked at the subordinate and said seriously. This is what he has been doing to the people around him. Even the most loyal subordinates are constantly instilled with the creed. Nothing is as important as his own life, and Wang Qinian did this. Gundam does the same.

"The net outside has loosened a bit, I'm going out today. Fan Xian bowed his head slightly. Said softly.

"My lord, this is too risky. The official said earnestly. He thought that since he had ventured into the mansion, it would be good to pass on some of the words himself.

"No, I can't. Fan Xian shook his head. Those words are too critical. It must be personally addressed to everyone's ears. If there is a slight mistake, he is afraid that it will cause great trouble, and he suddenly thought that if Wang Qinian was by his side at this time. Everything is much easier to solve, and with the ability of the old king, he sneaked into the Fan Mansion under the gaze of the eyeliner. It's not that hard.

"The carriage that delivered the vegetables was from the Vegetable Inspection Division, how did you get in?" Fan Xian suddenly thought of this question, and his eyes were slightly condensed. There are some worries.

"Dai Zhen has returned to inspect the vegetable department. The officer replied with a smile.

Fan Xian also laughed, and Gonggong Dai re-became the chief eunuch of the proclamation land, and followed. His nephew also returned to the post of the inspection department, and it was naturally easy to use the means of the Supervision Yuan to pick up the Dai family and the grandfather back then, and to use it at this time.

The autumn sky in Kyoto is high and far away, and the rain is pouring down from the lead-like clouds. The surrounding scenery becomes blurry but moving. The fierce resistance between the Fan Mansion and the Imperial Palace for seven consecutive days, especially the ruthless sweep of the eyeliner outside the palace by the little Fan Lord for seven consecutive days, finally chilled the hearts of most of the inner court eyeliner. Because they feel that their colleagues are dead in vain, look at the appearance. His Majesty in the Palace. It seems that he will never really take his illegitimate son out of prison. Avenge these colleagues.

So the net outside Fan's Mansion was loosened unconsciously. Leaving a number of vulnerabilities that could be exploited. And the carriage of the inspection department that didn't seem to have any problems. And he got out of this loophole.

A secluded place in Kyoto, with a simple house. There is no deep garden mansion for everyone. A small courtyard is quietly located in the middle of an alley. The sound of vegetable patches selling in the streets and alleys outside can be heard here, but it has been several years. But no one will ever know what this small courtyard represents.

With the slight autumn rain wiping the flour rouge camouflage on his face, Fan Xian floated into the small courtyard in a flash, and then saw a lot of familiar ground faces, looking at the surprise and surprise that appeared on these faces. Fan Xiandi's heart was slightly moved. But nothing came out of his face.

This is the most secret residence of the Qi Nian team, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan here are Fan Xianzao's loyal subordinates. When the wind in Kyoto is different. In particular, when some very subtle signs emerged within the Supervision Yuan, these members of the Qinian group left their posts silently and quietly. Through different ways, he returned to this small courtyard and waited for Fan Xiandi to summon him.

Many years ago, when there were only two people in the Qi Nian group, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, an old man and a young man, Wang Qinian spent a very small amount of silver. After buying this courtyard, the members of these Qi Nian groups are like Fan Xiandi's eyes and arms. And now if Fan Xian wants to wield the power that is close to him scattered in the world, he must pass through these loyal eyes and arms. Convey your will.

That's why he put so much thought into it. It took so much effort. The reason why I want to come here in person.
