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, he once made three wishes to Uncle Wuzhu based on the three represents, and so far, the three major wishes have basically been realized, but it is not good to sè such as Fan Idler, and the women around him are always not many.

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 major wishes, or the attached gifts, are naturally the life ideals he told Fan Shangshu - the right minister.

Now in Qingguo, in the world, Fan Xian really deserves the word "minister", walking everywhere, no one is disrespectful, no one is afraid, but it is really like this, and the young people who know the destiny of heaven are still confused after all, this is really the life they want?

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 Jiangnan Province were lining up on both sides, looking at themselves with "pulse and affection" eyes, 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, didn't care about the slight loss of official authority in this action, laughed self-deprecatingly, and expelled all the metaphysical things that surrounded his brain before, yes, life does need goals, but it may be too early for him 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 towards the study of the Governor's Palace, 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 does not allow you to do it, a mediocre and incompetent emperor may be set aside by a powerful minister, but a character like Emperor Lao Tzu, how can he 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 who was in the Taishi's chair with his eyes closed, cursed 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 Institute...... A few months ago, when those imperial historians were all imprisoned, where did so many people come from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check the accounts? Even if there were enough people, those guys who only knew how to chew the scriptures were afraid that they were about to faint when they looked 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's old man and Scholar Hu are 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 it was nominally a letter sent by the middle book 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 Jǐng Ti is whether the emperor did not believe his own explanation of China Merchants Qianzhuang, or whether he was aware of his relationship with the Northern Qi people. 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 and comforted: "It's not for the people in the court, what are you worried about? Even if you send a third division led by the Qincha to investigate, who can find out what else if you turn your hand? Don't forget, you are also a Qincha lord." ”

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, and a thought flashed in his heart, Xue Qing knew something about smuggling, but he didn't know the inside story, so he seemed so calm, if he knew that he was secretly damaging Qingguo's interests, he was afraid that this old boy would drop this cup of tea to the ground in shock.

He was about to pour some more oil and add a fire, but unexpectedly saw Xue Qing put down the teacup and changed his face to an extremely serious face.

Officialdom interactions, especially people like Xue Qing who are emperors and people like Fan Xian, who are princes, basically put some important things in the laughter, so as not to make each other feel that there are too many estrangements, and there is a bad momentum of tending to be cold, so like Xue Qing's serious face at this time, Fan Xian still saw it for the first time, and couldn't help frowning.

After Xue Qing was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Kyoto affairs, Lord Xiaofan, you naturally know better than me, I don't know what kind of opinion you have?"

Opinion? The opinion of the fart, this kind of big thing, Lao Tzu has no opinion at all. Fan Xian closed his mouth and didn't say a word, just looked at the beard under Xue Qing's chin with a smile, as if he admired it very much, anyway, in this world, except for those great grandmasters and the emperor Lao Tzu, he was not afraid of anyone, so he naturally dared to pose like a clay sculpture.

Xue Qing coughed twice, looked at Fan Xian's appearance, knew that what he was asking was too level, and the other party's scoundrel was more level than himself, smiled self-deprecatingly, and after thinking for a moment, he said directly: "Let's say it, 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, stood up suddenly, stared at Xue Qing's eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

He was indeed shocked in his heart, not shocked by the abolition of the reserve itself, nor shocked by Xue Qing's discussion with him, but shocked 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 told his diehard loyalist, and at the same time began to blow the wind around him.

Is public opinion about to begin?

Xue Qing's fingers tapped 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 trace 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 something wrong 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 the secret decree of His Majesty, and it depends on when everyone will receive the decree." ”

Fan Xian sneered in his heart, the emperor is really ruthless, and even a little confused, the prince has a good appearance in a year, and this time he went to Nanzhao not only did not go wrong, but won praise from the top and bottom of the court, presumably the emperor wants to abolish the reserve, and it is too difficult to find excuses...... He even used the tactic of encircling zhōngyāng in a local area.

It's just that although the governor of the Seven Roads speaks with great power, after all, he is a courtier, 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 in the future.

Xue Qing seemed to see what he was thinking, and said slowly: "This governor must be the first official to write a letter to his majesty to abolish the reserve. ”

Fan Xian was stunned, 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 the adults to come today...... The meaning of 陛xià is very clear, and the eight places should be moving. ”

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, coupled with the battle of the Jiangnan Ming family lawsuit over 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 pawn.

His face was very calm, and he couldn't see the stirring 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, I will report to His Majesty. Xue Qing thought for a while and said, "There is something that Your Majesty asked me to inform you, and in a few moments, Your Majesty will go to worship the heavens." ”

Fan Xianjin was surprised again, frowned for a long time, and then slowly tasted 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 the Tianyi of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he still had great respect for the ethereal temple, if the emperor Lao Tzu could really make something about the apocalypse...... The public opinion 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 to 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 reserves.

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

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

"A month later. ”
