Fan Xian's original title was a first-class baron, a second-class baron, while the duke was a super-grade, and there was a second floor between the marquis. With his current age, it is really a rare honor to be directly made a duke, so even he can't react for a while.

And when everyone in the audience reacted, of course they understood why, on the one hand, the imperial court wanted to reward him for his contribution to Jiangnan, and everyone knew that the most important reason was that His Majesty wanted to compensate his illegitimate son.

The eldest prince and the second prince have already been crowned princes, and Fan Xian is just a prince of the city, so what is this? As soon as he thought of this, the ministers who had planned to go out to fiercely oppose this reward fell silent, this is a family affair of the royal family, not a state affair of the imperial court, and it is not the turn of these courtiers to talk too much.

Fan Xian calmed down immediately after Yile, for most people in this palace, the duke is indeed a glittering word, but for him, the power in his hands has long exceeded this category, and the emperor did not say hello to himself, so he let the Yushitai squeeze into the sphere of influence of the Supervision Yuan, this problem is what Fan Xian really cares about and is afraid of.

Therefore, he would rather throw away his previous description and stir up nonsense, rather than let the emperor stuff the sand in so easily.

What's more, he also vaguely knew in his heart that the position of the duke was the final destination he could reach in Qingguo, and now the Duke of Tangbo was a third-class duke, and there were two more levels to climb, and then ...... At a young age, it seems that he has to retire in retirement.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, feeling a little ridiculous, and he couldn't help but stand on this hall and laugh out loud.

Everyone paid attention, looking at the youngest little grandfather since the founding of Qingguo, looking at his hateful smile, the feelings in my heart were complicated, and I felt that this laughter was extremely harsh.

―――――――――――――――――――――― the Great Imperial Meeting was tossed and turned until after lunch, and this was because the official court matters of the Three Governors were postponed later, and the emperor quickly cut through the mess, and the Sacred Heart Dúcái decided most of the things, and let the ministers disperse.

The ministers were already hungry, and they all passed through the palace gate and returned to their homes. And there are still some people who can't go, and the people who are in charge of things in the middle of the door, the governor who has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and the secretaries of all departments, all carefully follow the emperor to the imperial study.

Fan Xian also followed behind helplessly.

Just like more than a year ago, when he returned to Nanqing from Northern Qi, there was still a seat reserved for Fan Xian in the imperial study, the last time it was because of Zhuang Mohan's carriage book, but this time it was because of the countless snowflakes and silver sent by Necuri.

Fan Xian sat on the round embroidered pier, a little uncertain, the voice of discussing state affairs in the imperial study did not let him care much, this part of government affairs was not his strong point, and he couldn't come up with any ideas, and he could only play a role in picking up and filling in the gaps.

Obviously, on the one hand, the emperor was aware of his ability, and on the other hand, he was also unwilling for Fan Xian to express too many views on state affairs, so he did not name him today.

However, he, the new little grandfather, still has a place to sit, and next to the emperor's soft couch, the prince and other princes still have to stand honestly, listening and learning carefully like students, Fan Xian feels good, and thinks that he is also a teacher of the imperial brothers.

The emperor discussed with the big men the snow disaster in the south, the situation in the north, and the auspicious scenery in the garden, and began to put the meal.

Fan Xian was busy all night last night, the mutton slices, and the tofu flowers had already been digested cleanly, and when he listened to the meal, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness, and finally had a box lunch in his heart.

............ The main thing has been decided at the imperial meeting, and there is nothing new in the imperial study meeting, but when Xue Qing occasionally mentioned that Hangzhou would be an excellent example in the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, the ministers and pavilions in Kyoto were a little surprised, they had heard of the Hangzhou meeting, but they didn't expect that the Hangzhou society would have such a large financial and powerful power, and it could do so many things outside the way of the government's disaster relief.

The emperor asked Fan Xian to get up and explain. Listening to Fan Xian's explanation, Shu Wu and these people understood that behind the Hangzhou Club were these ladies in the palace, and the nominal leader was the Queen Mother, no wonder the Hangzhou Club could have such strength, but everyone knew that the palace was just a name for cherishing the people, and it was only Fan Xian who really did things and gave money.

The emperor smiled and said, "It's not Fan Xian who is really hard, it's my morning girl." ”

The ministers laughed and slapped a few sycophants, and even praised the nobles in the palace loudly, and the praise of the saints was naturally inevitable. The emperor looked at Fan Xian's somewhat distracted face and frowned slightly.

The eldest prince watched this scene from the sidelines and said, "The county lord will return to Beijing today. ”

The emperor sighed, looked at Fan Xian's eyes and softened, smiled, but didn't say anything, and didn't let Fan Xian return to the palace in advance, but immediately ended the imperial study meeting, and instead left Fan Xian, who wanted to go back to the house the most.

The incense of tranquility in the imperial study is slowly wafting, and the fragrance is as light as the white smoke.

Only the emperor and Fan Xian were left in the imperial study, and Fan Xian was a little uncomfortable, because he didn't know what the emperor would say soon.

The emperor took a sip of bird's nest, looked up at Fan Xian, and motioned for him to take another sip? Fan Xian quickly shook his head.

"There is no ambition without tranquility, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. The emperor put down the bowl and said slowly: "Don't worry or worry, don't lose your ...... This is what you explained to everyone when you were working as a bookstore in Kyoto two years ago. ”

Fan Xian nodded, the name of the bookstore came from this, but Ruoruo's sister knew her own intentions very well, and unlike others, she said the explanation of "drifting in Lanzhou", as soon as he thought of this, he suddenly missed the yellow-haired girl a little, and he didn't know if she was still happy in the north.

"I like your two sentences very much, and you should know what you mean by letting you do this. The Emperor quietly looked at his most successful illegitimate child.

After Fan Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, he said seriously: "Be ambitious and worry less." ”

"Not bad. The emperor said calmly: "Be clear about what you should do, but think less about what you can do." ”

In fact, the meaning is very simple, to be the emperor's courtier, not to worry or worry, just to be a prince.

Fan Xian didn't know what he was thinking, the smile on his face was extremely sincere and relaxed, and he said, "Got it." ”

The monarch and the ministers responded, saying that the horn sè who knew these three words should be the emperor, but Fan Xian said it clearly, but it didn't look so unusual, and the emperor didn't have any unhappy gods, and the eunuch Yao who was serving on the side was full of calm, and he had been used to seeing His Majesty's difference with Fan Xian in the past two years.

The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Yao leaned over and withdrew from the imperial study.

After a moment of silence, the emperor said coldly: "As for today's entry of the imperial history into the Supervision Yuan, you will understand later. I know that your heart is good, but it is only a matter of government affairs, and it is not diverted by people's hearts. ”

Fan Xian knew that there were few people at this time, so he couldn't resist coquettishly, so he had to be silent.

The emperor said slowly: "Again, I know your heart, so I am very happy about what happened last night...... It's just that I didn't expect you to push so hard, and I was a little surprised. ”

Fan Xian's throat was a little dry, and after considering it for a while, he replied solemnly: "The river has not broken its embankment yet, I will lead the water away first, so as not to suffer the people of Li." ”

The emperor looked at Fan Xian's face and said nothing, and after a long time, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's just that you have thought about it, have you drained all the water, but there is living water after rì, who knows if the water will overflow the river embankment again after rì?" So I thought that I always had to look down, and only on the day I saw the mountain collapse and the embankment collapsed, I knew whether the water in the river would go downstream or ...... shamelessly broke through the embankment...... You kid, you look fierce on your face, but you always have softness in your heart. ”

The emperor's face turned indifferent, and he continued: "In my life, all I want is two things, the world, inheritance, I don't see their hearts clearly, how can I let go and fight the world? ”

Fan Xian was silent and didn't dare to reply, the emperor's most previous words were full of flavor, and he could only be a grandfather forever, and he had to accompany him to watch it, and let himself keep calm, and no longer hit the second prince and the crown prince, which can be regarded as a promise of the glory of his life, supreme trust.

"Also, don't mess around with Xiao Yi. The emperor stared into his eyes and said, "Xiao Yi has meritorious service to the country, and he is a fierce general in the army, and I don't want him to lose in these things." ”

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, thinking that he had formed an indissoluble enmity with the Governor of Yan Dadu, how could this be eased, and Yan Xiaoyi was considered to be meritorious to the state, but after all, he had too deep a relationship with the eldest princess, could it be that the emperor was not afraid at all? At this time, he finally determined that it was not the Queen Mother who sent Gonggong Hong to break the situation last night, but the Emperor himself, so he became more and more puzzled.

"On the martial arts, if the governor challenges me?" he glanced at the emperor and asked worriedly, Qingguo is still martial, this year's martial arts will be held again, if Yan Xiaoyi challenges Fan Xian in the palace, the emperor will never be able to say that Fan Xian is the prince in front of hundreds of officials, and he must not hurt this kind of thing.

Yan Xiaoyi will leave before he can wait for Wu Yi. The Emperor said.

Fan Xian frowned and said, "But the Metropolitan Governor recorded his son's death in my account......"

The emperor glanced at him with a smile and said, "Did you kill him?"

Fan Xian replied sincerely: "This matter really has nothing to do with the minister, and the minister does not dare to kill the minister's son." ”

The emperor laughed loudly: "What a don't dare to kill, the ones you killed last night are ...... Kill?"

Fan Xian's face turned red and said: "The people who moved last night were all Jianghu figures, and they have nothing to do with the imperial court. ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and then said: "The one who did it in the Yuantai camp was a person from Dongyi City, so I was a little curious, if there would be any problems over there, I wanted to see if Xiao Yi was a smart person." ”

Fan Xian's face was calm, but he was complaining in his heart, Thirteen Lang, Thirteen Lang, you can be regarded as deceiving the Emperor Majesty, the Emperor Majesty obviously made a wrong judgment because of this wrong source of information, and it was impossible for Fan Xian to remind him no matter what.

"As for Xiao Yi's question, I must also remind you that the army ...... You can't make a big mess. The emperor's eyes became dark, and he sighed: "The chiefs of Hu in the west...... It's going to be a mess again. ”

............ The Hu people in the west are making trouble?

Fan Xian looked up in amazement, looked at the emperor's slightly worried cheeks, and was shocked for a while and didn't know what to say, twenty years ago, the emperor led the army to the west, and the people's livelihood killed by Xihu had withered, plus the great prince led the army to sweep in the west a few years ago, which made some of the vitality that Xihu finally condensed all shattered.

Why did the Hu people make trouble again? Moreover, even if there was a trouble, given the strength of Qingguo's army and the number of generals, the emperor would not be worried about the instability of the army's morale because of external troubles.

Fan Xian grew up in Qingguo since he was a child, of course, he knew that at the beginning of the founding of Qingguo, he was bullied by Xihu for some years, and the Hu people have always been a big trouble in Qingguo, but in the past 20 years, under the strong suppression of the Qingguo Emperor, he has become a little disdainful of Qingguo's talk.

The emperor looked at Fan Xian's surprised expression, smiled mockingly, and said: "My Daqing has been affected by disasters year after year, drought and floods have been combined, and snow disasters have come...... Of course, if that's all there is, it wouldn't be so careless that I wouldn't be so careful, it's just ...... Do you know that before the snow disaster in Daqing, those snow barbarians in the north of Northern Qi also suffered the biggest frost disaster in decades?"

Fan Xian frowned, and suddenly thought of the matter that Haitang Duoduo had mentioned to him worriedly on the lake in Hangzhou more than half a year ago, those northern barbarians had indeed suffered from the snow disaster, and countless cattle, sheep and horses had frozen to death, but they were just ...... Beiban Xihu is far apart, what does this have to do with Qingguo?

The emperor said: "No wonder the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty dared to leave the Shangshan Tiger in the capital city, but they were not worried about the northern barbarians going south, it turned out that God helped them...... Those northern barbarians were frozen and couldn't survive, and because of the power of the Uesugi Tiger for many years, they didn't dare to venture south, so they had to detour from the Qilian Mountains to find a way to survive...... The Hu people lived in pursuit of water and grass, and those northern barbarians experienced a great migration for half a year, and now finally arrived in the territory of Xihu, although only more than 40,000 people survived in the 200,000 tribes, but they were able to survive in the wind and snow, and the dangerous road was survived...... It's all jīng sharp. ”

Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be countless tribes driving emaciated sheep and horses, rolling up tattered tents, in the wind and snow, along the towering Qilian Mountains, desperately looking for the way to the west, along the way, frozen corpses and vultures screamed.

What a magnificent and tragic scene, what a great migration.

"How can Xihu tolerate the northern tribe coming?" Fan Xian said worriedly.

The emperor laughed, and his laughter was mixed with infinite confidence and pride: "Xihu has long been disabled by us, where do you dare to gnaw on these foreign snow wolves...... Although the number of Xihu was much larger, after several major battles, the two sides finally formed an alliance. Fan Xian sighed, if the Hu people really formed an alliance, then Qingguo, which was adjacent to Xihu, would naturally be the biggest threat, no wonder the emperor would be so careful in the military's disposition.

Seeing Fan Xian's concern, the emperor said calmly, "What are you thinking?"

"The minister is thinking, I am afraid that this information is still top secret...... It's just that I'm afraid that the big war will come, my minister...... Willing to go into battle and charge. "Fan Xian didn't say fake and beautiful words, he really wanted to go to the Zongma Grassland, but he ...... It seems that the problems within the imperial court have not yet been explained.

The emperor sneered and said, "Don't think that if you are a martial arts master, you can go to lead troops to fight and seek military merits...... The big war is together, and tens of millions of people are fighting, unless you are Uncle Liuyunshi, otherwise you are still a life that has been dismembered by a knife. ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly.

The emperor paused slightly, and said calmly: "Hu Man is not afraid, I have never taken them seriously...... It's just that since the Northern Barbarians have migrated, the pressure on the Northern Qi side has suddenly decreased, and I have to look to the north. ”

Fan Xian immediately understood, the emperor's gaze was really faster than his own, in this world, the only one who can really be the enemy of Qingguo is Northern Qi, especially since the Northern Barbarians are gone, Northern Qi has no worries, who knows if the little emperor will have any other thoughts.

The emperor finally said slowly: "Xiao Yi will return to the north in the future...... Because, the little emperor in the north finally persuaded the queen mother to let the Uesugi Tiger recover, and the big camp was rushing to Yanjing. ”

Fan Xian's eyes were shocked, and he immediately retreated.

Outside the ―――――――――――――――――――――――― palace, on the black carriage, Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows, a little uncomfortable, on the one hand, he was too tired, and on the other hand, he had heard too much bad news in the palace. As the emperor said, it is impossible for Xihu to pose a substantial threat to Qingguo without a few years of recuperation, but the Northern Qi side ...... Uesugi Tiger is back!

Uesugi Tiger, Fan Xian had a headache when he thought of this name, although he didn't see the assassination on the long street on that rainy night, but he always deeply understood the power of the world's famous general.

If Yan Xiaoyi goes to the north, will he be able to resist the Uesugi Tiger? What's more, Brother Xiaoyi has recently lost his son, and he is afraid that he will gradually become separated from the imperial court, but the emperor is not afraid that Yan Xiaoyi will really go crazy and throw himself into the enemy.

As for why Fan Xian is so jǐng Ti Shangshan Tiger's comeback, the reason is actually very simple. In Shangjing City, he ruthlessly yīn Shangshan Tiger, so that he died tragically countless subordinates, and in the middle of the night, he shouted "Fan Xian, the one who killed me", I am afraid that it is still echoing in the Shangjing City of Northern Qi to this day, not to mention that Shangshan Tiger's godfather, Lord Sean, was caught and arrested by himself, killed and killed...... In this matter, Fan Xian is the biggest enemy of the Uesugi Tiger, Shen Chong is just a small horn, but in order to take revenge, the Uesugi Tiger picked Shen Chong with a shot in the rainy night, if he really meets on the battlefield after rì, how will the Uesugi Tiger deal with himself?

Fan Xian thought sadly in the carriage, in this world, there are so many enemies.
