Fan Xian was silent for a long time, and finally dispelled the idea of letting Yan Bingyun arrange this matter, on the one hand, he wanted to ensure Hong Zhu's safety, and on the other hand, he knew that Xiao Yan Gongzi's loyalty to the Qingguo court under his indifferent appearance, this kind of risk could not be taken casually.

He looked at Yan Bingyun's not very healthy face, frowned, turned around and put his finger on Yan Bingyun's wrist, and paused.

Yan Bingyun was slightly surprised, but his face was still frosty, and he didn't react in the slightest.

"Why is your body like this?" Fan Xian frowned and said, "I heard that you haven't been back home for the past few days?"

Yan Bingyun casually sorted out the files on the table, and responded: "There are more than 30 Beijing officials locked up in the prison, and there are people who go to Dali Temple every day to cry out for grievances, and they are in a hurry to sort out what is going on. ”

Fan Xian noticed that the secret room was neat and tidy, including the files on the big wooden table, which were also classified and placed very neatly, and couldn't help laughing: "This house is more refreshing than when the dean was here, it seems that you are really used to doing this business." ”

Yan Bingyun also felt a little sleepy, stretched out his two fingers and vigorously kneaded the skin of his eyebrows, until the white skin was all red, and only then did he regain his jīng spirit.

"Let's go back. Fan Xian shook his head when he looked at this scene.

Yan Bingyun ignored him, took out another file and began to examine it carefully, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "You want to beat the second prince, you have beaten so many people, you always have to be dealt with, you and the dean are both lazy, but the Supervision Yuan can't rely on a group of lazy people to support it." ”

Fan Xian heard a hint of complaint, but laughed instead.

Yan Bingyun seemed to be very uncomfortable with Fan Xian staring at his office, closed the file after a while, raised his head and said, "Although it is said that the power of the second prince in the court has been pulled out by you, I want to remind you a little. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You just did go to the branches and leaves next to the second prince. Yan Bingyun said calmly: "The thickest tree under him, your axe was not able to cut into it. ”

Fan Xian knew that Yan Bingyun was talking about the Ye family, the Ye family who was far away in Dingzhou to herd horses, but could go to Kyoto in five days, and enshrined a great master at home. Since the second prince and Ye Ling'er got married, there is no doubt that in addition to the eldest princess, the second prince's backer has more of such a towering tree as the Ye family.

The plan of the night attack on Kyoto only cleared out the backbone officials and the armed forces of the second prince in the court, but did not cause any losses to the Ye family. As long as the Ye family remained firmly established in Dingzhou, the second prince did not suffer real damage.

Fan Xian sighed, a little helpless, he was expecting to use the three city crossbows captured during the sniping in the valley to drag the Ye family into the water, but no one thought that the private letter of the little emperor of Northern Qi and the greetings from thousands of miles away forced the Nanqing Imperial Court to interrupt the investigation, so that Fan Xian had no choice but to frame the Ye family.

"Let's talk about the Ye family's affairs later. ”

Yan Bingyun glanced at him, frowned and said, "The foundation of His Second Highness is in the Ye family, but because of this, his dependence on the eldest princess has been reduced now......"

This Fan Xian's most relied on mind, and his words were inexhaustible, penetrating into Fan Xian's heart, he was shocked for no reason, thinking of the top-secret news he learned today, and began to smell a different smell - whether the eldest princess openly supported the crown prince or secretly supported the second prince, the crazy and powerful woman's methods, naturally, these two nephews ascended the throne after Rì, but they were still under their own control.

The eldest princess Li Yunrui is a powerful person with an extremely broad vision, what she asks for is not small, and now the second prince has the Ye family as a backer, and his dependence on her is reduced, which naturally shows that if the second prince ascends the throne after rì, if she wants to hide behind the scenes, it will be much more difficult.

Don't...... As soon as he thought of this, Fan Xian's heart moved slightly, and he immediately sneered and said, "Prince...... There is no future, the second child, after all, he will still be beaten. ”

Yan Bingyun glanced at him suspiciously, although the Supervision Yuan has never participated in the dispute between the princes, but this invisible rule, since Fan Xian took over the Supervision Yuan, has been gradually broken, but why did Fan Xian decide that the Holy Family is especially there, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who is especially loved by the Queen Mother, has no chance at all?

Fan Xian naturally wouldn't explain anything to him, and said with a frown: "Send a message to Su Wenmao and Xia Qifei and let the two of them get ready...... Closing the net. ”

Yan Bingyun stared at Fan Xian's eyes and said, "Jiangnan affairs are in control, but they have to be cut down with one sword...... It doesn't seem to be a sure thing, after all, Kyori is watching...... Unless there is a sudden big change in the situation in Kyori. ”

Fan Xian laughed, knowing that his unintentional words had made the thoughtful Xiao Yan Gongzi guess something, and he explained in a harmonious voice: "It's just that I prepared in advance, even if the situation in Kyoto remains unchanged for a year, but the affairs of the Ming family, Your Majesty can no longer tolerate it." ”

Yan Bingyun heard that it was the meaning of His Majesty, so he reduced his doubts a little and asked, "What kind of Cheng dù do you want to receive?"

Fan Xian was silent for a moment, slightly distracted, this year's complicated arrangements in the south of the Yangtze River and the dangers hidden under the wind and rì li, like a scene, flipped in front of his eyes like a marquee, the heads of the three major squares in the inner library, the dead corpses all over the mountains on the island, the fainting of Ming Qingda in the inner library, the lawsuit in Suzhou Mansion, the accidental hanging death of Ming Lao Taijun, the imprisonment and killing of Ming Liuye, and the sudden appearance of Ming Lao Qi...... The Ming family is already a grasshopper in his hand, but what Cheng Dù needs to do, Fan Xian still needs to nod.

"The richest family in the world is not much cleaner than the palace. Fan Xian muttered to himself in his heart, and whispered to Yan Bingyun: "Receive the bottom." You arrange for the people in Qianzhuang to do things, and the people in the Ming Garden can kill a few. ”

Hearing the word Qianzhuang, Yan Bingyun knew that the big chess piece that had been buried for a year was finally going to move, the money village that was nominally born in the Shen family and Dongyi City was originally arranged by Yan Bingyun, he naturally knew how to deal with the Ming family, but he had not found out the source of the real silver in the money bank, and at this time, looking at Fan Xian, he finally couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "I don't care where the money in Jiangnan came from, but I draw my attention to adults, don't be ...... of Northern Qi. ”

Hearing Yan Bingyun's words, he guessed, but how could Fan Xian admit it, and said self-deprecatingly: "Don't forget who my mother is, except for Neiku, you always have to leave me some broken silver flowers." ”

Yan Bingyun shook his head, believing Fan Xian's explanation, after all, everyone knew how strong the Ye family's foundation was back then.

............ Sitting in the carriage back to the house, Fan Xian felt a little lost in his chest, not because he ran away from the Supervision Yuan, but he didn't dare to let Yan Bingyun participate in the matter of the palace, but because he finally confirmed that for Yan Bingyun, the younger generation of Qingguo Junyan, the interests of Qingguo and the emperor, and the glory of dominating the world, are the real supreme criteria.

Yan Bingyun has always done his best for Fan Xian, and that is because all the things Fan Xian has done are in line with the interests of Qingguo. And once Fan Xian is in the future, if ...... If he really becomes that kind of horn, what will he think of the long-awaited Tiji-sama?

Fan Xian knew that this was an inevitable thing, after all, everyone lived in their own time, and they had the experience of their previous lives, so they could take the difference between the kingdoms of the world lightly, but he couldn't ask others for this.

That is an unreasonable and unreasonable request.

Yan Bingyun's corner beside Fan Xian was originally a little vague, he was not a member of the Qi Nian group, but he was Fan Xian's cronies, and participated in most of his actions, especially the planning in Jiangnan last year, which was basically made by him. After Fan Xian realized this clearly, he made up his mind that regarding his deal with Northern Qi, those deepest cores, should not be touched by Xiao Yan Gongzi first.

It's just that during the inspection of the Yuan, there is an extremely important and urgent problem that has not been resolved, how to connect with Hong Zhu? Fan Xian sat in the carriage with his elbows on his chin, frowning uncomfortably.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Fan's Mansion, he heard a will that surprised him very much, and he immediately keenly caught it, and if he wanted to confirm this matter with Hong Zhu, tonight was the best opportunity.

The will did not come from His Majesty the Emperor, but from the Empress Dowager, who had been relatively silent. Qingguo rules the world with filial piety, and the emperor is an example for all the people, so although the queen mother is mostly silent, no one dares to underestimate the real influence of the drooping old woman.

The queen mother's will arrived at the moment when Fan Xian left the house, and the special decree was to pass Fan Xian into the palace, but Fan Xian sneaked out, and the eunuch who passed the decree had to wait.

............ Fan Xian tilted his head slightly to listen to Liu's whispered words in his ear, glanced at the anxious Yao eunuch who had been waiting for a long time, and couldn't help laughing. Originally, with his ability, he wanted to touch the palace, unless Uncle Wuzhu was by his side, he was sure to hide the eyes and ears of the old eunuch Hong, and if he lived in the palace tonight...... If you want to meet Hong Zhu, it will be much less difficult.

And if he is a man, it is definitely impossible to live in the harem, and it is only possible to find a room in front of the imperial city and do things, which is also more convenient.

It's just that he doesn't understand at this time why the Queen Mother is in a hurry to announce that she entered the palace.

............ When he and Wan'er held hands and retreated from the Hanguang Palace, Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh in embarrassment, at this time he realized that the old man let himself enter the palace in order to force himself and Wan'er to go to Guangxin Palace to meet his mother-in-law, the eldest princess!

The queen mother did not want her descendants to be in a mess, Fan Xian returned to Beijing and entered the palace several times, and has been avoiding the eldest princess, this fact made the queen mother a little unhappy, she decided to use the power in her hands to make up for the gap between the younger generations, and took advantage of Wan'er's opportunity in the palace to summon Fan Xian into the palace.

It was twilight, and the palace was a little dim, Wan'er glanced at Fan Xian's face worriedly, and pouted, "I don't want to go to Guangxin Palace." ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and comforted: "The eldest princess is your mother after all, no matter how you say it, you also want to meet." He said that, but his heart beat faster.

Lin Wan'er looked at him seriously and said, "I know you don't want to see your mother either, otherwise let's sneak out of the palace, right?"

Fan Xian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Carefully, the Empress Dowager's ancestor killed you and me, two ignorant little bastards. ”

Not far ahead, the palace gate of Guangxin Palace has opened a corner, and several palace maids are waiting for the arrival of these two with low eyebrows, carefully speaking, Fan Xian and Wan'er should be half of the masters of Guangxin Palace, but this strange world has already made their relationship with this palace a little cold and strange.

Fan Xianwen smiled and glanced at the palace maids, his eyes were extremely poisonous, and he could see at a glance that these palace maids were similar to him when he first entered the Guangxin Palace, and they all had extremely strong cultivation.

Passing in from the corner of the palace gate, there was a breeze on his face, the wind was extremely cold, Fan Xian thought of the woman in the palace, and couldn't help but shudder.

............ "Come over by the morning and let me see." ”

The eldest princess Li Yunrui greeted her outside the hall, although her tone was forcibly calm, Fan Xian could still hear the slightest abnormality, he looked up in surprise, and saw the eldest princess looking at his wife beside him in a daze.

Wan'er bit her thick lower lip, held Xianggong's hand in her palm, and refused to let go.

Fan Xian gently patted the back of her hand to give her enough encouragement.

Wan'er settled down, stepped forward, bowed slightly to the palace beauty on the stone steps, and whispered, "I've seen my mother." ”

Her voice was extremely low and thin, unspeakably unnatural.

The eldest princess looked at her biological daughter in a daze, and her face, which was a little expectant, suddenly calmed down, and said lightly: "How are you doing?"

Fan Xian frowned, coughed a little uncomfortably, leaned over to Wan'er's side, and said with a smile: "I've seen my mother-in-law." ”

The eldest princess looked at him, a strange smile appeared on her beautiful face, and said, "Do you still know to come to see this palace?"

For some reason, the eldest princess and Wan'er's mother and daughter seemed a little indifferent, but she spoke very casually to Fan Xian. Fortunately, Fan Xian interrupted it like this, and the atmosphere up and down the stone steps was relaxed, the eldest princess took Lin Wan'er's hand and stood side by side on the stone steps, she gave a few instructions to the palace maid in the courtyard, and then prepared to go to the palace.

Fan Xian half-raised his head, looked at the two women on the stone steps, and found with some amusement that Wan'er and her mother did not look very similar, but the eldest princess did not know how to maintain it, but she was still so young, and the two stood in a row, not like mother and daughter, but more like two sister flowers.

It's just that although Wan'er is married to a wife, she still can't get rid of her youth, but the eldest princess has already bloomed and has not withered over the years, like a peony with an open face...... Eye-catching.

A dinner party had already been arranged in Guangxin Palace, and there were no outsiders, just the eldest princess and their little two. At this time, after talking for a while at the banquet, Wan'er finally relaxed, and the mother and daughter looked at the eldest princess's gaze gently.

The eldest princess seemed to be very happy with Wan'er's change, and her voice began to show a real softness, and when she didn't know what she said, she actually sighed and said quietly: "In your eyes, I'm afraid that my mother, I'm afraid that what I'm doing is quite bad......"

Lin Wan'er's eyes were red, and she burst into tears, she grew up eating Baigong rice in the palace since she was a child, although she was loved by the old queen mother, but her daughter's family, how could she not miss her mother, at this time listening to such gentle words by her mother's side, her heart was full of feelings, and she didn't know how to speak.

Fan Xian sat down and saw the mother and daughter sitting side by side, and smiled slightly, one of the mother and daughter is the first beauty in Qingguo, and the other is the first beauty in his mind, how can he not be pleasing to the eye when he looks at it at this time? But he had to admit depressedly that his wife was indeed not as good as his mother-in-law.

Especially the eldest princess of today's rì, her beautiful face, red lips and bright eyes are still the same, and her long hair like a black waterfall is coiled up like the old, compared to the previous rì, but it reveals a few rare true feelings, not as coquettish as the legend, but it slightly makes her peerless beauty vivid.

During the banquet, the two women's voices became softer and softer, and they became more and more comfortable.

He was not surprised to see this kind of scene, because he always had faith in people, even if the eldest princess was crazy, she was also a mother after all.

In Fan Xian's opinion, this incompetent mother is no different from those brain-dead junior high school girls who gave birth to babies in the bathroom in their previous lives.

The palace maid behind him poured him a full cup of wine, he drank it all, the slightest spicy pain in his throat, the taste of this Wuliangye, it was really a little mellow, but it was just ...... Why do people feel a little depressed and lost?

He looked at the eldest princess with no different eyes, but his heart began to churn, always thinking, why did such a peerless beauty embark on such a life path?
