The imperial car came slowly, and stopped smoothly on the official road, because of the panic of the war, the official road has not been paved with loess and sprinkled with water, but the feet of the emperor still did not hesitate, and he walked down the Ming steps firmly and steadily, and stepped on the land around Kyoto.

The emperor removed his hand from Eunuch Yao's elbow, his calm gaze slowly swept over the four fields, and thousands of courtiers and soldiers knelt on the ground, worshipping him, his expression was indifferent, but there was not much expression in his eyes.

In the earth-shattering sound of the mountain cry, the emperor's gaze narrowed from the distant Kyoto castle, fell closer, swept past Hu Shu and the two scholars, swept past the eldest prince in military uniform, swept over the nervous and slightly happy little son, and finally fell indifferently on Fan Xian's handsome face, and noticed that this kid had a very heavy exhaustion on his face.

The corners of the emperor's lips were slightly upturned, with a hint of joy, as if he liked this beautiful face more and more in his heart, but his brows immediately wrinkled, because he found that Fan Xian had suffered a lot of internal injuries.

As soon as the Ming and Huang dragon robes were unfurled, the emperor stretched out his arms, calmly and domineeringly facing the field in front of him, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live gradually stopped.

If no one dared to look at the emperor, then how could these thousands of people know about the emperor's movements?

From the moment he got out of the car, the emperor's eyes basically fell on Fan Xian's body, Fan Xian felt uncomfortable, his head was lowered, he didn't know how to react, only listened to the sound of the mountain shouting long live, and His Majesty's feet gradually walked towards his pedestrian.

When he walked in front of Fan Xian, the emperor suddenly turned around, did not look at Fan Xian again, and solemnly helped Shu Wu and Scholar Hu, he held the shoulders of the old man Shu with both hands, slightly forced, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "The old bachelor has suffered. ”

Shu Wu was shocked, his face was frightened, and Scholar Hu didn't even dare to say it. The emperor smiled and didn't say anything, and then helped up the great prince who had taken the lead in the battle of Kyoto and made great contributions.

For this eldest son, whom he never liked very much, the emperor's mood was a little complicated, but his expression was calm.

Then, the emperor pulled Li Chengping up again, gently stroked the top of his youngest son's head with his right hand for a while, and looked at Siye's loyal subordinates without saying a word.

Then he turned back and walked towards the royal car.

All the people were dumbfounded, thinking that this was the end? It's not that the ceremony of the Son of Heaven returning to Beijing has been completed, but that it ...... The first meritorious minister to protect the country, Fan Xian of the Duke of Yubo still knelt straight on the ground, why didn't His Majesty say anything at all?

Shu Wu and Scholar Hu glanced at each other, each seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. Fan Xian was also a little confused, not knowing whether he should stand up.

"Get up, if I don't help you, you won't be able to stand up?"

When he was about to board the royal car, the emperor indifferently threw a sentence into the crowd, although this sentence did not refer to, but everyone knew that this sentence was said to Fan Xian, and it seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, there was a little bit of closeness inside. As for the other meanings hidden in these words, only Fan Xian could understand that His Majesty had recognized his ability and loyalty, and he could stand in his own position in this court without his support.

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, stood up, looked down at the dirt on his knees, according to the theory, His Majesty had not yet boarded the car, and he was a courtier, and he couldn't clean up his appearance, but the impulse that came from nowhere made his right hand dust on his knees and brush away a few dusts.

This small action did not attract too many people's attention, but it made the emperor's figure paused slightly, and then everyone heard His Majesty's words.

"Ann get in the car. ”

The ministers began to be dumbfounded again, looking at each other, and fell into shock, before His Majesty did not personally help Fan Xian to stand up, so that everyone had some speculation, who knew that then His Majesty Xià actually gave Xiao Fan such an honor, and drove into Beijing with His Majesty, what a kind of glory this is, even the prince of the year has never enjoyed it.

The eyes of the smart ministers to Fan Xian became hot, but these ministers seemed too smart, or too smart, and some couldn't help but bet on the three princes, because as we all know, the second prince and the second prince had absolutely no good end because of the rebellion...... The reason why these ministers are smart is because they show an inappropriate attitude in an inappropriate place, while Hu Shu, a scholar with his eyes, nose and heart, seems to have never heard His Majesty's words, which is the gap between the best ministers and ministers.

Fan Xian's mouth was a little bitter, but he couldn't go against the holy decree, walked to the side of the high royal car, walked up and lifted the yellow curtain, and stood in front of His Majesty. Although the royal chariot was tall, it still couldn't make a person stand up straight, so he was forced to keep his head down in front of the emperor, just like everyone else in the world.

"Sit. The emperor seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a slight bow.

Fan Xian sat opposite the emperor, looking at the emperor Lao Tzu who had not been seen for a month, his mood gradually became complicated, although this king also had a powerful side of Aurora in previous years, but it was far less terrible than the emperor of Rì now - the emperor is still calm, but it is like a bottomless abyss, containing bottomless power, this feeling makes Fan Xian have some palpitations, looking at the two sword eyebrows, those calm eyes, involuntarily gave birth to the mind of retreat.

The king's domineering spirit is not presented from his appearance and posture, but from the means and results in the history books. can come back alive from Dadong Mountain, can arrange such an overall situation, such a powerful character, and really deserves to be the first person in the mainland in the past 30 years, Fan Xian understands this fact, and can only accept this fact.

The middle-aged man in the dragon robe looked down at the various urgent recitals presented by the two scholars, ignoring Fan Xian's observation of himself, even if this kind of courtier's observation of the emperor was extremely impolite and taboo.

The imperial driver moved slowly, and the light of the sky outside the window slanted in, shining on the recital in the emperor's hand, he lowered his head, frowned at these things, and suddenly said: "Three years, my Daqing still needs three years." ”

When he said this, the emperor did not raise his head, as if he was talking to himself. Fan Xian knew what His Majesty meant by this, after experiencing an internal rebellion, not to mention that Kyoto was damaged and Yan zhòng, the government was in chaos, just the internal attack of the military had already caused extremely strict consequences, and the military spirit was already unstable at this time, and the officials in the area of Dongshan Road were involved in the public, although His Majesty had chosen good officials from Jiangnan to take over, but the impact on people's livelihood must have been great.

It will take at least one year to gather the morale of the army, and it will take at least one year to eliminate the psychological impact of this great chaos, and it will take at least three years to really prepare for a large-scale war in terms of finance, materials, and people's hearts.

Presumably, in His Majesty's heart, this Northern Expedition to unify the world must be the last Northern Expedition, and the historical pace that has been stopped by the two great masters for more than 20 years will slowly accelerate.

The light from the car window filtered in through the glass lattice, and kept brushing back, sprinkling countless glass flowers on the faces of the father and son. The emperor still lowered his head and said, "Brush off your clothes and hide your name and ...... This is a sentence you once wrote, but you don't have the luxury of expecting me to let you go, after the matter, why should you be in a hurry to leave the clothes while the big thing is over?"

The emperor's eyes looked at the song, and these words seemed to be unintentional, but Fan Xian's heart was chuckled, and he didn't know how to speak. After brushing his clothes, he didn't expect that his subconscious dusting action before the royal drive actually made His Majesty guess his thoughts, and he was extremely resolute and ruthless to dispel his illusions or psychological temptations.

He smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and said directly: "The minister is really not good at this kind of thing like fighting, so he still earns some money for the court in An'an." ”

Fan Xian had other plans in his heart, so he preemptively spoke clearly, but who knew that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly raised his head, looked at him and said: "Don't think about resigning, if you are still afraid of people's words and cutting power, I will do it." ”

Fan Xian complained bitterly in his heart, the emperor's words forced him into a corner, if he was really forced to stay in Qingguo Kyoto to plan, of course he didn't want to be cut off power, the Supervision Yuan was the most powerful weapon in his hands, if he was really torn open by His Majesty, what would he do to negotiate terms with this unfathomable emperor?

Until this time, he still didn't know the truth on Dadong Mountain, and he didn't dare to ask in the carriage at this time, but the emperor opened his mouth first and asked about the specific situation of these rìzi in Kyoto.

Fan Xian's voice sounded in the carriage, from the time he left Dadong Mountain, to the time he disguised himself as an oil merchant and entered Kyoto, to the later plan with the eldest prince to raid the palace, and then to the final Ye family's attack, he spoke in an orderly and clear manner, and deliberately downplayed some details that the emperor must not want to hear.

When Fan Xian prayed, the emperor had already lowered his head again, so he dared to pay careful attention to His Majesty's expression, to his surprise, whether it was the death of the eldest princess or the news of the suicide of the second child, it did not make the emperor's Majesty's iron-like face tremble in the slightest, but when reporting the queen mother's condition, the emperor raised his head.

"How many rìzi does the Queen Mother have?"

"I've seen it in the hospital...... The old man is weak and weak, and he has experienced such a big thing, and he is frightened, and he is afraid of ......" Fan Xian stopped talking, but he had a trace of vicious thoughts about the indifferent emperor in his heart, the queen mother was scared to death by you, what should you do, the filial emperor?

"Tai Hospital?" The emperor's brows furrowed, he looked at him coldly, and said, "What's the use of those wastes, you are in the palace, don't you know the details?"

Fan Xian said slightly: "It is indeed impossible for human beings to return to the sky. ”

............ Under the gaze and arch guard of countless people, the emperor's royal car entered Kyoto, along the wide and straight Tianhe Avenue, into the palace, along the way those people who had just suffered from the military disaster, forcibly suppressed the sadness or timidity in their hearts, and welcomed the return of the emperor with joy, as if welcoming back the backbone of their own life, it can be seen that the prestige and prestige of the emperor in the Qing people is still as unbreakable as the monarchy itself.

When he arrived at the main gate of the palace, Fan Xian leaned back from the car, glanced at the eldest prince, and shook his head, indicating that His Majesty's love was okay and was not affected by the news of Chun's death.

Fan Xian followed the car into the palace, looking at the bright yellow curtain, he couldn't help but think of the expression of the previous emperor, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart - although the eldest princess and the second prince were both masterminds of the rebellion, but after all, they were His Majesty's own sister and biological son, and this rebellion now seems to be obviously a trap deliberately constructed by His Majesty for the other party, but after learning of the death of his sister's son, the emperor is still so calm, this distraction, this ...... Cold-blooded, it really made him shudder.

The eldest prince walked up to his side and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"Do you dare to sit all the way into the palace?" Fan Xian glanced at him and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked some things in the car, and you also know that it is always inconvenient to announce those things in public. ”

There was no need to explain anything to the eldest prince, but Fan Xian looked at the eyes around him, knowing what kind of consequences would be caused by following the royal car into Beijing, he subconsciously made up this sentence, but after making up for it, he felt that talking to the boss like this, he was afraid that it would have the opposite effect, and said with a wry smile: "It's too cold in the car, I'll get down and move my muscles." ”

The eldest prince laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say anything, the two brothers were actually smiling at this time, guarding Kyoto, lest the king of a country become a lonely ghost in the land, there is no doubt that they have made great contributions and made the first contribution, but so many people have died in the imperial family, and they have used so many means, who knows what the emperor thinks in his heart.

............ His Majesty Emperor Qingguo didn't think about anything, in the process of arranging and sweeping the rebels outside Beijing, he had already learned about the deaths of Li Yunrui and Li Chengze from the urgent documents sent by Fan Xian, and in the carriage, he only knew the specific circumstances of the death of these two people from Fan Xian's mouth.

His face was calm, as if he was a stranger who had died, and he still looked at the music presented by the Zhongshu under the door, but when the emperor entered the palace and Fan Xian got out of the car, His Majesty the Emperor put down the music in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and was silent without saying a word.

The silence of the lonely man lasted for a long time, and the emperor's face gradually revealed a trace of old age and haggardness, but at this time, the car had stopped at the door of the Han Palace.

He sighed softly, and slowly walked out of the curtain of the carriage that was pulled up by Eunuch Yao, as soon as he stepped out of the curtain and looked down on this familiar and unfamiliar palace, his face quickly became calm and solemn, and there was no trace of the gloom when he was alone in the carriage, every eyebrow, every look conveyed his strength and strength.

Empress Dowager ―――――――――――――――――― was dressed in plain white clothes, lying on the warm and soft phoenix bed, the wrinkles on her face were so deep, as if she had been with this palace, she had welcomed too much wind and rain, and was eroded into such a appearance.

The emperor said a few words to the imperial physician, who was kneeling on the ground in fear, and then sat down on the edge of the bed and put his slender fingers on the queen mother's wrist.

Fan Xian and the other three brothers stood honestly behind the curtain, not daring to disturb, but Fan Xian's heart was a little faintly nervous, because it was vaguely visible that the emperor's technique when cutting the pulse was very skillful, and he obviously also knew something about medicine.

However, he was more confident in Mr. Fei Jie's medicine, and the most important thing was that the pill was ...... at all It's not poison, whether it's the doctor of the Tai Hospital, or the rest of the smart doctors, they must not be able to find the real reason for the decline of the Queen Mother's vitality, but will directly attribute it to the fact that people are old and weak, and the destiny of heaven is coming.

The emperor's slender fingers had already left the weak pulse of the queen mother, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, it seems that this great master also knew that he could not drag the queen mother's departure, and then his brows suddenly wrinkled, and his fingers were like the wind, and he pointed at the center of the queen mother's eyebrows.

As soon as he pointed out, the taste in the entire Hanguang Hall had changed, and those yīn cold autumn winds were dispelled by a breath of sunshine, and a powerful and dignified aura was transmitted to everyone's hearts.

Fan Xian suddenly felt the breath behind the curtain, his heart shook, and his fingers trembled rapidly, although this breath was not familiar, it was in harmony with the true qi in his body like a relative, but it was several levels higher than his realm, faintly the realm that he had been longing to pursue but could never find the entrance!

He Huo Ran raised his head, stared inside through the thin curtain, and a voice in his heart shouted to him, this is the second half of the volume! This is the second half of the volume that he has practiced for 20 years, but has not made any progress at all!
