Many years later, when the Supervision Yuan began to re-sort out the major event in the early autumn of the tenth year of Qingguo, there were still many problems that could not be explained clearly, when President Fan Xian returned to Beijing from Dongyi City, the surprise attack of the Dongyi Righteous Army encountered along the way was the news deliberately released by someone in the DPRK, or was it just a coincidence?

After all, it seems that the only person who can grasp the whereabouts of the little grandfather is a high-ranking official within the Supervision Yuan.

And Dazhou, where the old dean was on the journey back to his hometown to retire, became brightly lit and murderous at that time, is this a coincidence or ...... Providence may have been the latter, but at that time, the sky had already changed, and the intelligence officers of the Second Division of the Supervision Yuan did not pursue it carefully.

But at least the officials of the Criminal Department who were handling official business in Dazhou City did not know that outside the night city at that time, there was a long line of black sè convoys of the Supervision Yuan, and no one knew that all the court officials regarded them as ghosts, and the terrified Old Dean Chen was in the convoy.

They just received the secret order from Shangfeng, and spent more than a year chasing down a Qin criminal, as for the name of this Qin criminal, no one knows, all the clues they have are the martial arts habits of the Qin prisoner, the face he once used, as for the past three years, what this Qin criminal has become, no one knows.

Maybe it was the will of heaven that made Chen Pingping meet the round-up in Dazhou, and it was precisely because Chen Pingping realized the will of heaven that he stopped his way back in Dazhou City and returned to Kyoto, where he should have stayed for the rest of his life.

―――――――――――――――――― a qiē about Dazhou, we have to talk about it from more than a month ago, and it's not just about Dazhou.

At that time, Fan Xian was still meditating on the seashore and thinking about the will taught by the Sigu Sword, the booklet left by Master Kuhe, tasting the xìng nature of the domineering true qi in the body, and guessing whether His Majesty's cultivation of the domineering martial arts to the extreme would cause an unbearable burden on the body. He is watching the waves grow and disappear, thinking that the world is like yesterday, the chūn flowers have bloomed, the autumn moon is empty, he is the second person in the world, and when he is proud, he feels that a qiē is not a difficulty, and a qiē can be solved.

However, things had already changed subtly at that time.

It was a day in early July, and the entire continent was covered in the hottest sun of the year, and Kyoto was no exception. The third prince Li Chengze was holding a book in both hands and was looking at it seriously, beads of sweat dripping down his delicate face, the youngest Qinglou owner in the world at that time, after experiencing the palace change and countless bloodshed, finally transformed the unconcealable yīn 戾 into a steady and resolute mind that did not match his age.

The third prince, Li Chengze, has become a teenager, a courteous and filial teenager, a teenager who can't find too many faults with anyone. The people who have made him change so much in just five or six years are two people, one is his father and the other is his teacher and his brother Fan Xian.

When facing the emperor's majesty, the third prince was cautious and never made a mistake, the bloody facts, the death of the prince's brother and the second brother made Li Chengze very clear that his father was so terrifying, although these two brothers also thought about killing him in the later period, their death was a great thing for Li Chengze, but when facing his father, his heart still couldn't help but exude a chill.

Because I am afraid, I am respectful, so I will never make a mistake. In the past three years, Li Chengze has not even seen Fan Xian much, and he has only locked himself in the palace, and occasionally he can get to Guò's mother to know what his husband has done.

Li Chengze is also afraid of Fan Xian, the elder brother who can't be publicized. Because in the most critical rìzi of his Qing period, he has been following Fan Xian, watching Fan Xian, as a courtier, start a war with the magnates in Kyoto in Jiangnan, and win the final victory. And the whip and cold gaze in Fan Xian's hand made him dare not make a mistake.

Fan Xian's real influence on the Three Princes was that he let the Three Princes know what they wanted to do and what they would become, so that he really reversed his feelings.

The third prince, Li Chengze, must be the one who wants to become the emperor of Qingguo in the future, and the whole world is his own person, so he wants to be better to this world, and no longer spend so much money to seize it for some silver and some practical and short-term interests like he did back then.

The world is mine and will be mine, so why should I bother to toss him? This is the creed that Fan Xian taught to the three princes, and the three princes took it for granted.

The palace maid Xing'er is getting older, and the young girl gradually unfolds her eyebrows and eyes, giving birth to a moving beauty. At this time, Xing'er was fanning His Highness next to him, frowning and looking at His Highness sweating and still reading, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

Concubine Yi was gossiping in Concubine Ning's palace at this time, there were not too many idlers in the entire Shufang Palace, and Xing'er looked at the handsome young man of His Royal Highness, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

Li Chengze obviously felt this gaze, and the corners of his lips curled slightly and smiled, but he didn't react, just gently put his hand into his hand and pinched the tips of Xing'er's fingers.

His smile is really similar to Fan Xian.

"Do you want to rest first?" Xing'er's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "This hot day, Your Majesty will not come......"

Li Chengze shook his head seriously and said softly: "These are all book lists opened by Mr., most of them are classics that he dragged back from Northern Qi back then, I must read them within this year, and I have to write notes for him to review." ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't pass the test, my mother will beat me again." ”

Xing'er bit her lip and said, "The little grandfather is now in Dongyi, where is he in charge of so much." ”

After the Kyoto rebellion was settled, although His Majesty did not remove Fan Xian's identity as a gentleman, Fan Xian rarely went to see the three princes alone, and the three princes no longer often messed around and left the palace. Both brothers know that the third prince is the real prince of Qingguo at the moment, and the emperor Lao Tzu will not want this prince to grow up under Fan Xian's education, but would rather be trained by himself. In order to avoid this taboo, the two had to reduce their meeting.

Although Fan Xian rarely comes to Shufang Palace, but he still does not stop the training of the three princes' academic cultivation, in the season of Jiangnan, Fan Xian has told a lot of stories to the three princes, and in the past three years, he still has a lot of book lists, requiring the three princes to read through.

In addition to being busy with official duties, Fan Xian will also take time to review the reading notes of the third prince, for him, this is also the top priority, if the future of Qingguo is placed on Li Chengze, of course he hopes that Li Chengze can become a benevolent monarch, even if he has no ambitions, but at least he can take good care of his family business.

Every year during the New Year's Festival, Fan Xian's family will enter the palace, and that time is the time when he examines the homework of the three princes, and often in the palace, the sound of the whip whistling and the sound of the three princes enduring pain will be heard.

The palace maid's demeanor is a little unusual, it is obvious that she has become Li Chengze's first woman as an adult, and of course, Li Chengze is also her first woman. As soon as he heard the name of Lord Xiao Fan, Xing'er's eyes were a little unbearable, and he said unevenly: "Lord Xiao Fan is too, he does it at every turn, and he doesn't pay attention to proportion at all." ”

When Fan Xian entered the palace for the first time, she took Fan Xian to go around and worship everywhere, and after getting along all these years, the palace maid didn't feel that there was anything terrible about the incomparably powerful little Fan outside the palace, but she only felt that the guy was still a handsome young man back then, so the words were not very respectful.

Li Chengze, who was partial, was very afraid of Fan Xian, and said with a bitter face: "For this matter, he dares to talk back to his father, and his mother is also on his side, what can I do." ”

Although he said this, he didn't have any grudges, but he was faintly distracted, and sighed: "I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I don't know what Mr. is doing in Dongyi City." ”

Speaking of this section, even Xing'er's face couldn't help but glow a little, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Fan is out of the horse, where will there be something inappropriate, these palaces are rumoring, saying that the matter of Dongyi City has been decided, and His Royal Highness will lead the troops over immediately." ”

The third prince naturally knew the top priority in the court now, and when he thought of his husband making such an immortal contribution to the court, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, nodded and said, "It would be good if I went with me." ”

The young man's face suddenly exuded a feeling of longing, and said: "The most lively rìzi in my life is actually two rìzi outside the palace, one is to run a hugging moon building with the kid Sizhe, and the other is to be carried to Jiangnan by Mr. back then...... I don't know when I'll be able to leave the palace again. ”

In the process of growing up, anyone will always subconsciously look for a powerful Tongxìng as the goal of his struggle and the object of imitation, even the princes born in the palace are no exception, but their maturity is much earlier than that of the folk teenagers.

And Li Chengze in the initial stage of the Qing Chūn period, there are two mountains near him that he needs to look up, one is his father and the other is Fan Xian, but the strength of Emperor Qingguo is indifferent, but with a sense of indifference that people are not close to people, and relatives are not close, but it is Fan Xian's strength that really has some fireworks, with a stubborn, simple and direct closeness.

So the third prince misses Fan Xian very much.

There was a voice from outside the Shufang Palace, and before it could be transmitted, a chief eunuch had already bent into the inner hall. Xing'er frowned and glanced at the chief eunuch, and lightly blessed behind the third prince, not daring to lose his manners.

The person who came was Eunuch Yao, the chief eunuch in the palace now, and a close minister who was deeply trusted by His Majesty. Li Chengze squinted his eyes and glanced at him, feeling a little strange in his heart, he didn't know what needed this person to come here in person, and asked, "Grandpa Yao, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Yao is a person who knows a lot of proportion, although he is a close confidant of His Majesty, but he knows that the third prince he is facing is one of the only two men in the palace now, and he is the future Majesty, so he made a big salute in a proper manner, and then said in a harmonious voice: "There is a Chun Chen case in the inner court that is being investigated, and there are some things related to His Highness, so he has to come to disturb His Highness." ”

Li Chengze's pupils shrank, there is no doubt that he is a smart person, and he has probed too much information from this sentence. An old case is related to oneself? I have lived in the deep palace for many years, what can I do with a case that can really rub shoulders with oneself? And what kind of case will actually disturb oneself?

It is impossible, Fan Xian disabled the second prince with this matter back then, and it was approved by His Majesty, and now it is naturally impossible to bring up the old matter again, not to mention that with his current identity, no one has the courage to talk about that matter.

The look in Li Chengze's eyes was subtle, and he knew what the inner court was investigating - three years ago, Kyoto plotted rebellion, the palace was in chaos, the three princes and Yigui Concubine Ning Cairen were all under house arrest in the Hanguang Palace, and at that tense juncture, someone in the palace actually wanted to assassinate Li Chengze, if it wasn't for the poison-feeding dagger made by Fan Xian himself in his hand, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.

Afterwards, there were some doubts about this matter inside and outside the palace, because the crown prince had already taken control of the situation in the palace at that time, so why did he do such an unreasonable thing? People thought that the second prince had done it, but in the investigation afterwards, no connection was found.

Li Chengze himself has a particularly deep memory of that incident, and of course he also wants to find out who wanted to kill him, but the Supervision Yuan has been investigating for a long time and has not been able to find any clues.

And Fan Xian once privately told him that he should not investigate this matter, so the third prince held back the anger in his heart and stopped paying attention to it, because he knew that Mr. must have smelled something, so he would not help him investigate.

Whereas...... The Inner Court would actually look into this matter now?

The concern for his own safety, the anger of the murderer who wanted to murder him, and the trust in Fan Xian struggled in the mind of the third prince for a moment, he made up his mind, shook his head and said: "When Rì is not scared, I can't remember anything. ”

"Would you like to ask Your Highness to paint a portrait with the old slave?" After the two eunuchs were killed by Li Chengze, their bodies were quickly burned in the chaos, and there were so many eunuchs who died in the palace that no one even knew who the assassin of the three princes was. Eunuch Yao glanced at the third prince and said respectfully.

Li Chengze's brows furrowed, he smelled a hint of strangeness, and said: "I still have to read books, this kind of trivial matter, since I'm fine, don't pay attention to it." ”

"How can that be done? Your Highness is a noble member of the Heavenly Family, and someone dares to have a disobedient heart to Your Highness...... His Majesty was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. ”

Li Chengze squinted at Eunuch Yao, thinking to himself what his father wanted to do? If he was really angry, what had he been doing in the past three years?

............ On that day in early July, the third prince Li Chengze began to recall the appearance of the two eunuchs who wanted to kill him when the palace changed.

Miss Sun from Kyoto Prefecture was fascinated by the two stars in the sky that night, and she knew that her father's recent rì was much better, and with the help of the little grandfather, no one in the court dared to target Kyoto Prefecture anymore. Even if he is a big celebrity who has a book under his door, Lord He Zongwei has not been as ruthless as he was at the beginning in the past few months, but has just been quiet.

Thinking of Lord Xiao Fan, she couldn't help but think of the condition that Lord Xiao Fan had agreed to in the Kyoto Mutiny, and a light smile gradually rose to the corner of her lips.

Chen Yuan was lively, Chen Pingping was preparing to return to his hometown, none of the beautiful concubines in Chen Yuan was willing to leave as he expected, but cried and shouted that he would return to his hometown with him and send him to his death. The old cripple was puzzled and helpless, but he couldn't help but think that maybe when they watched Fan Xian back then, they were not looking at cucumbers, but they already had cucumbers.

In the Fan Mansion in the south of Kyoto, Lin Wan'er and Sisi are holding a pair of children to feed, a few grandmothers are gossiping beside them, the daughter-in-law of the Fuji family is carefully reporting the harvest in the Fan family manor this year in front of the steps, and in one of the three study rooms in the back garden, the account gentlemen of the Hangzhou Association are waiting to report to the master mother the amount of silver spent on helping people's livelihood in the Jiangnan and Jiangbei areas this year.

Lin Wan'er handed the porridge bowl to Mama, kissed Xiaohua and Fan Liang on the face, walked to the door and stretched, this style really doesn't look like a big young nǎinǎi, it's just that Fan Xian spoils her, and she is used to spoiling her zìyóu.

She looked at the stars in the sky, thinking of Fan Xian who was far away on the coast of the East China Sea, and couldn't help tilting her head slightly, thinking that she was on the right track, if she wanted to leave Kyoto in the future, where should she choose?

Just thinking about it, Fan Ruoruo, who was dressed as a doctor, pushed open the courtyard door with the medical box on his back and walked in, followed by several servants who were anxious to take over the heavy objects, panicked. Fan Ruoruo came back from the countryside, looked at the little sister-in-law standing at the door, couldn't help but smile and joked.

In the distant Northern Qi Imperial Palace, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty sat on the jade platform in the main hall, looking at the white sand in the pool by the stage, the pair of fish lying on the sand, and his faint eyes were fascinated. She had a few pieces of music in her hand, talking about the situation when Si Gu Jian died, as well as the inside story of the agreement between Dongyi City and Nanqing.

The secret of this agreement is logically not something that the Northern Qi Jinyi Wei can discover, and it is obvious that the man is deliberately letting out the wind to himself.

The eyes of the little emperor of Northern Qi narrowed, and for the first time in his life, he was confused, and he didn't know what his kingdom would be like and what his future would be. The current situation seems to be clear, and the contradiction between Fan Xian and Emperor Qing has no chance to break out, how should Daqi deal with himself?

If it were changed to previous years, perhaps he would have already made up his mind to make Fan Xian and Emperor Qing turn their faces at any cost, even if he paid half of the treasury income and countless costs. However, now his mind had changed, because he knew the power of those words that Fan Xian had said.

On that day in early July, or on that day in early July, people on the mainland experienced some ordinary or unusual things, and a certain turning point in history, an event that led to a change in historical details, did not occur in Kyoto, nor in Shangjing, but in a remote prefecture and county in Qingguo.

It was supposed to be just a routine security check, and the officials were a little bored and walked slowly, occasionally hiding in the shadows of the shops along the street to rest.

At this time, Gundam in disguise and incognito for three years was busy at the noodle stall on the corner of the street, with a hint of healthy flush on his face, no longer as resolute as he was back then, but full of comfort and satisfaction.

After escaping from Dadong Mountain, Gundam wandered in various states and counties in Qingguo, Qingguo's strict household registration system, customs clearance document system, really made him suffer a lot, although no one found out his identity, but he wanted to settle a stable life, it still seemed so difficult.

He is a royal tiger guard, and he has not experienced too many affairs, and he has no understanding of the rivers and lakes at the bottom of the people, so this dignified tiger guard, once he swims in the shallows, it becomes so hard.

Later, by chance, he settled down in Dazhou, and finally had a new identity, he opened a noodle stall on this street, basking in the sun and noodles every day, and actually brought back a wife and a son.

This may be the real happiness, the wife and children are hot on the kang, and every day they go home from the stall, hugging their wives who are hot, they will have this feeling. He even felt that there was nothing to be sorry for his knife even if he didn't use it.

Of course, he is still jǐngti, although he has learned in the past few years that the imperial court has probably decided that all the tiger guards are dead, but he still does not dare to let the imperial court know about his existence, especially the inner court. As a tiger guard in the inner court, he clearly knew that it was a big crime to deceive the king by escaping in private, and once he was caught, he would end up with a full house.

He still paid attention to Fan Xian's movements, fortunately, Fan Xian was the most famous person in Qingguo, and the discussion in the market was always inseparable from Fan Xian, so he knew that Lord Tisi had lived a good life in the past three years, and he had made a lot of contributions to Qingguo, and it was even possible to include Dongyi City in the territory recently.

Gao Da was very happy, drank several meals, and felt that Xiao Fan was really powerful, but he still didn't think about looking for Fan Xian, and found a way to get rid of the charges on his body.

Because he feels that he is doing well now, and there is no need to change anything.

Until the servants sat down in his stall, and then looked at his lady with squinting eyes.
