At the beginning of the sixth year of Qingli, whether it is Northern Qi or Southern Qing, a lot of wonderful things have happened in the border of the two countries, although due to the cold weather, the rice field has not grown millet, naturally there is no double spike, there is no white fish in the river, and there is no unicorn found in the mountains, but ...... When Wuzhou opened the mountain, dug out a pair of copper walls, when Shazhou repaired the river embankment, the migrant workers were pleasantly surprised to find a huge, there is a turtle with cloud decorations, in the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, there are birds, red geese soaring in the sky!

Whether it is the copper wall or the genus of the clouded turtle and the bird, they all belong to the auspicious first-class, and officials from all over the country hurriedly went to the table and patted the horses, but the emperor in Kyoto was a little disdainful.

Because this auspicious and shameless atmosphere was raised in the territory of the Northern Qi last year, the previous legend was that after the first snow in the West Mountain, there was a woodcutter on the mountain who found the white deer, the white wolf and the white fox, thinking that it was a good omen, and wrote to the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

A generation of grandmaster Kuhe took this as a sign of heaven and man, and believed that the monarchs of various countries were properly governed and the heart of heaven was in harmony, so he reopened the mountain gate and accepted a female apprentice in a temple outside the capital city, and the female apprentice was the manager who later entered the palace.

Later, this wind spread to the south, and this kind of thing began to occur in various parts of Qingguo. However, Emperor Qingguo was obviously a tough person who did not respect ghosts and gods, and it was not until a few days ago that the Qin Tianjian was trembling in his voice and said in ecstasy that the Qin Tianjian had observed Jingxing Qingyun, which made the Qingguo Emperor begin to face this fact.

Xiangrui is also known as Fu Rui, so the old legend, the scriptures are often noted, it is the heavens are satisfied with the rulers of the world, and the small magic of Shi, this is the transmission of the will of heaven, the people of the world believe very much, and the types of auspicious Rui are also extremely complex, such as the wind and rain, such as the rice double spike, such as the sweet spring of the earth and so on.

Xiangrui is divided into five grades, except for those like the unicorn, which cannot be found at all, and are classified in Jiarui, the rest of the grades are Da Rui, Shang Rui, Zhong Rui, and Xia Rui.

The white wolf and white fox are Shangrui, the blue bird and the red goose are Xiarui, and the so-called "Jingxing Qingyun" reported by Qin Tianjian Daxi is the colorful cloud in the sky, which is ...... But the real Da Rui, and the name is embedded with the name of Qingguo, no matter how reserved and suspicious the Qingguo Emperor is, it seems that he is beginning to flutter, after all, the emperor is also a human being, and he always likes to be patted on the back.

It's going to be a good year.

Since it is a good year, there can naturally be no war, with Xiangrui as the call, the state exchanges between the Northern Qi and Nanqing have to be close, especially the marriage between the two countries immediately, the prince and the grand duke of the Northern Qi will be in the cave, and the Northern Qi side has sent a considerable number of missions.

And what shocked and glorified the people of Nanqing was that Kuhe, the national teacher of the Northern Qi Dynasty, also went south with the mission to be the witness of this big wedding!

The status of the great master of bitter lotus in the world is so transcendent, he is not only one of the top great masters, but also the Tianyi also faintly affects the sacrificial temples in various places, and the ascetics walking in the four fields, although the temple has never been in the world, but this kind of implicit prestige has long exceeded the influence of a martial arts peak.

In this way, although the Qingren are proud and glorious, but the reception matters have to be redrafted, Ye Liuyun Yehe is nowhere to be found, and he can really receive the same reception, but it seems that only the Emperor Qingguo is left, but the emperor comes forward in person, and the officials of the Honglu Temple of Qingguo do not have such courage.

In the end, the Queen Mother couldn't see the panic of the officials below, and came forward to end the matter, and still had the rules of Zhuang Mohan, inviting Master Kuhe into the palace, and she was responsible for the reception.

Unexpectedly, when the Kuhe national teacher arrived in Kyoto, he politely declined the invitation and lived in the Qing Temple, which was also in line with his identity.

After all, it is a generation of great masters, although the two countries are different, the Qing people still show enough respect, and the respect is curiosity, and people all over the world have speculated that although the marriage between the two countries is a big deal, it is impossible to alarm his old man, right?

After the Northern Qi delegation entered Beijing for several years, the true purpose of Kuhe's personal visit to the Southern Dynasty seemed to be revealed.

It turned out that the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty personally wrote a letter of state, saying that he was willing to reconcile with Nanqing and extend the agreement drafted last year for 10,000 years.

Such an important negotiation, of course, requires Kuhe to be in charge in person, Emperor Qingguo held the letter of his northern colleague in his hand, and muttered a few times, and finally nodded slightly, but I was afraid that he also saw the bitter lotus.

As soon as the news came out, the world was jubilant, even if the Qingren were martial, but after all, they were also a rìzi who liked peace, but the military was faintly angry, and felt that now that the imperial court was strong, it was a great opportunity to dominate the world, so why bother putting a few pieces of paper on their heads? Although it is not heavy, it makes the breathing always a little uncomfortable.

However, the military leader of the old Qin family saw the world clearly, and he didn't care about it, and only occasionally said to the people closest to him: "Now the speed of the Northern Qi recovery is unexpected, and it is always difficult to use troops in a few years, this agreement is just a few pieces of paper, and it will be torn up when the time comes, and our emperor has not done this kind of thing back then?"

And the other purpose of Kuhe's southward trip to Kyoto made all the Kyoto officials and people fall through the glasses, and he wanted to accept Fan Shangshu's only daughter, Miss Fan, as an apprentice!

The reason for the bitter lotus national teacher is also sufficient, saying that in the months before and after the intersection of the year and the yang, the sky descends auspiciously, which is the sense of benevolence of the heavenly heart, and the heavenly party adheres to the theory of the unity of heaven and man, and should do personnel according to the heart of heaven, choose the wonderful and careful cultivation of the world, and seek the welfare of the people, which is the right way. Since it is a move of Fengtian, of course, it is not limited to the national land, there is auspicious rui in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so it is accepted as a disciple, and Xiangrui in the south is present, and he naturally wants to accept another apprentice, so he went to Kyoto in person.

The matter of Tianyi Sect Master Kuhe's reopening of the mountain gate has spread all over the world last year, but Nanqing people have never thought that this matter will have anything to do with them, where did they think that Tianyi's closed female disciple would fall in Kyoto.

As for why he chose Miss Fan, it has become a question in everyone's minds, not too many people will think of Fan Xian who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, no matter how arrogant and powerful Fan Xian is, he is not capable of instructing the Kuhe National Master to work for his own benefit.

Kuhe did not explain the criteria for choosing apprentices, but through some eunuchs who were responsible for serving, people knew that the original Kuhe national teacher was in Kyoto and traveled to the people, and he had stood silently at the gate of the Tai Hospital.

Fan Ruoruo was "interning" at Tai Hospital, and with the nursing knowledge and medical ethics she had learned in the past few months, she took care of the critically ill patients in the hospital.

There is a saying in this world called "civil and military have no borders", the students of Zhuang Mohan of the Northern Qi Dynasty are all in Qingguo as big officials, and the Northern Qi National Teacher Kuhe wants to accept Qingren as apprentices, and Qingren will only feel brilliance, and will not give birth to other feelings, so the people do not have much reaction, but are a little optimistic.

It's just that the bitter lotus accepts apprentices, which is originally a big deal, and it is a young lady from an official eunuch's family, so she naturally has to ask for the opinions of the elders in the other party's family, and even Fan Jian doesn't dare to make up his mind about this matter, so he has to go to the palace to ask for His Majesty's will.

In the heavy palace, Emperor Qingguo sat on the dragon chair and frowned slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he only asked one sentence: "An Zhi doesn't like Hongcheng so much?"

Fan Jian was frightened and didn't know how to speak.

A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he was also surprised by the length of Fan Xian's hands and feet, the great energy, and felt that Kuhe loved the woman named Begonia too much, and it was not a problem, plus he banished Fan Xian to Jiangnan, and there was always a little guilt, so he waved his hand and agreed to this proposal.

Soon after the eldest prince got married, Kuhe threw down the mission and left Beijing with Fan Ruoruo.

In this way, the marriage between the Fan family and the Jingwang family was postponed indefinitely, just to see when it would really die. Li Hong, the son of King Jing, was placed under house arrest at home, and when he heard the bad news, he almost vomited blood. After King Jing knew about this, he entered the palace and made a big fuss, and finally provoked the queen mother to come forward and appeased him.

But after King Jing returned to the house, he finally couldn't swallow this breath, and led a gardener in the palace to rush directly to the Fan Shangshu Mansion, which has been friends for generations, whether it is the front house or the back house, the mess was smashed all over the place, and the entire Fan Mansion was smashed into a dilapidated garbage dump, destroying countless antiques that Fan Jian had treasured for many years, and driving the Fan Mansion girls to lose their appearance. In the end, King Jing punched Fan Shangshu in a hurry to return to the house, and imprinted a black mark, and then arrogantly led the troops back to the house to relieve the evil spirit in his chest.

――――――――――――――――――――― south of the Yangtze River, by the West Lake, there is no lotus at the beginning, and the drizzle is like a line.

Fan Xian and his party have been living in Hangzhou for nearly a month, although it is claimed to be a vacation, but in the Jiangnan where chūn is coming, he just stays like this, of course, there is a deeper meaning. These days, the branch of the Supervisory Yuan in Jiangnan has begun to operate in full force, and no longer has to handle any affairs through Kyoto, as in the past, but directly to the manor by the West Lake.

This manor has become the second power center of the Supervisory Yuan, in addition to the Kyoto Shoin.

The situation of the officials on Jiangnan Road, the details of the division between the Ming family and the salt merchants, and the movements of the inner library in recent months were all summarized by the four officials sitting in the manor, and then reported to Fan Xian. There is no geographical distance, and the upper echelons of the Supervision Yuan have further increased their control over Jiangnan, but because the Ming family reacted extremely quickly, as early as last autumn, they had already started to arrange, and the Ming family itself was a local giant family, and the people appointed were all family members, so the level of nails planted in the courtyard was not enough, and too useful information was obtained.

On the contrary, the Jiangnan Water Village, which was ambushed in Shazhou, began to play an unexpected role for Fan Xian at this time, Xia Qifei was far-sighted, and had long thought about recapturing the Ming family, and had been preparing for many years, so he had a much more detailed grasp of the Ming family's shipping channels and related information than the Supervision Yuan.

The Ming family has been strangely quiet, but I heard that there has been an upper-level party in Suzhou City, obviously for Fan Xian's arrival, but that meeting was very secret, and the Supervision Yuan did not find any news.

However, with Fan Xian's status and the three princes he was nominally disciplining, neither the Ming family nor many officials on Jiangnan Road had the courage to take the lead in provoking him. As for the people of Yun Zhilan in Dongyi City, they were just horns who came to support the Ming family, who would have thought that Fan Xian would launch a dog chase operation so unreasonably.

An immortal who lives in the world may be able to hide in the market for a long time, but a group of immortals cannot completely hide their whereabouts no matter what. Peng's Manor, which has been uninhabited all year round, suddenly has more people living in it, whether it is the purchase of grain, fruits and vegetables, or the entry of those precious products, in the eyes of people in Hangzhou City, they can guess the slightest.

So after more than ten days, the news that Fan Tisi was in Hangzhou had spread all over Jiangnan Road, but he hid in the manor to avoid guests, and Hangzhou Zhizhou came to the door once, but was also politely and resolutely denied by the gatekeeper, and everyone knew that Fan Teis was still on vacation and didn't want to be disturbed.

However, everyone is also speculating, Fan Xian has been quiet for so long, what is he preparing for? He is quiet, and the people in the officialdom are only forced to be quiet, and the number of people who send gifts to the big boat on the river has not decreased, and the Ming family has also moved out of several other houses on the edge of the West Lake very respectfully, for fear of shocking the purity of Lord Tisi.

The manor by the West Lake is quiet, but it has attracted the attention of countless people.

............ There is a flat boat floating on the lake, and two young men who look like scholars are sitting on the head and tail of the boat, and there is a low table in the middle, on which are placed light fruits and vegetables and Jiangnan water wine, and the style is very chic.

The two of them are Fan Xian and Begonia after the disguise, the two did not smear some flour or anything like that on their faces, but Fan Xian skillfully picked off some eyebrows, and slightly raised the tail of the eyebrows with a rubber hand, and the eyebrows changed, and the appearance of the two people suddenly changed a lot, if it was not a familiar person, they would not recognize them.

At this time, the boat was slowly moving in a remote corner of the West Lake, and after the first break of the light rain, the air on the lake was very fresh.

In recent days, Fan Xian often boats on the lake with Begonia, on the one hand, he loves the lake and mountains here, and on the other hand, Fan Xian first learned the heart of Tianyi, according to Haitang, we must always be close to nature, and repair the meridians in the body with the vitality of heaven and earth.

It is also mysterious, after Fan Xian practiced the Tianyi Mental Method, he no longer contained qi in the snowy mountains, but turned to the dantian, and those bits and pieces of true qi were like a touch of fresh taste, slowly moistened on the walls of his meridians, moistening the dry and damaged meridians, on top of the West Lake, close to the natural beauty, there was a slightly cool lake reflecting the white clouds and blue sky, and there were slight sparse mountains and forests under the mountain on the side, and the mental practice was really a lot faster.

Fan Xian believed that what Miss Begonia said was reasonable, but he knew that the more critical reason was that his true qi circulation was one more than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.

He closed his eyes, half-lying on the bow of the boat, his right hand was on the side of the boat intentionally or unintentionally, his fingertips seemed to touch the slightly waving lake, and a faint and even imperceptible true qi slowly overflowed from his fingertips, and when it touched the lake water, it was gently withdrawn, flowing into his body, causing the fingertips to vibrate fine ripples on the lake water.

Begonia paddled lightly, a pair of bright eyes like a lake, paying attention to Fan Xian's fingertips. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she sighed secretly, thinking that the young man's enlightenment and chance in front of her were really rare in the world, like the scene now, the true qi left the body and returned, contaminated with the breath of nature, which was obviously already a phenomenon of the third layer of Tianyi's mental method, although he was known as a genius in the world, but when he realized this realm, he had also practiced for five years, and Fan Xian ...... It's only been a dozen days!

Although Fan Xian's current realm is much higher than when she first started, and her comprehension ability is much stronger, but entering the realm so quickly, it still makes Begonia feel a trace of incredible and fearful, Fan Xian is now both the north and the south, and he holds great power in his hands, and he has a good reputation among the people in the world, such a person, if he is ...... in the future If he has entered the evil path, who can control him?

In fact, Fan Xian's enlightenment in martial arts is far inferior to Begonia, and the reason why practicing Tianyi's mind can be so smooth is that Haitang taught it without concealing it on the side, on the other hand, it was Fan Xian's foundation of true qi when he was a child, and the third point was mentioned earlier, Fan Xian is extremely familiar with this way of true qi leaving and coming back, he is a stingy person, but he happened to cater to Tianyi's practice method.

As if sensing what Begonia was thinking, Fan Xian woke up from meditation, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Begonia with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, if I really want to break the contract, the Northern Qi people you brought to Jiangnan, I won't let him touch so many things." ”

In his agreement with Haitang, or to be precise, the agreement between Fan Xian and the Northern Qi royal family, after the fall of the eldest princess, the goods smuggled by Neiku to the north will still not decrease, and there will be a great improvement in quality and grade, even including some goods that are strictly prohibited from leaving the country, Fan Xian agreed to the requirements of the Northern Qi people.

It is very wonderful that the Northern Qi man brought by Haitang to Jiangnan is an official of the Northern Qi court, as the head of the household department, but also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Haitang brought him to take charge of the transaction with Nanqing Neiku, which was really a very appropriate choice.

"I'm a very committed person. Fan Xian looked at Haitang and said, "I will definitely do what I promised you in the capital city." ”

"So do we. Haitang smiled slightly, let go of the oar handle, let the boat cross the lake without a master, and said, "You should have received the news, the teacher has left Kyoto with Miss Fan." ”

Without waiting for Fan Xian to speak, she continued: "Fan Sizhen has also begun to gradually take over the properties left by the Cui family in my territory, you should know that if it weren't for His Majesty's nod, these would have been collected into the treasury and would not have become your private property. ”

Fan Xian shook his head and said: "The Cui family was originally my Daqing people, even if he was caught committing a crime, of course he should be taken over by our Daqing people." ”

Haitang ignored his strong rhetoric and continued: "And I also brought the heart method to you according to my words, the content of the first part of the agreement, I think neither of us has anything to find fault with." ”

Fan Xian nodded, this was a deal that was extremely beneficial to both parties, but he didn't know why he trusted the Northern Qi people so much. Haitang didn't seem to understand this either, and frowned and said, "Anzhi, you sent your sister and brother to Shangjing, don't say that you did it unintentionally...... Why is that?"

Fan Xian smiled, knowing that the other party had finally noticed something, but it was impossible to answer her positively, did he want to tell a foreigner that he was very worried that one day the emperor would suddenly make a big reshuffle, so he wanted to leave some hands in other countries in this world?

He waved his hand and said, "What's this, as long as our agreement continues to be fulfilled, I believe that it will be you and the ...... The little emperor will protect my family. ”

Haitang raised his eyebrows and said, "If the matter is revealed, how will you face the people up and down in Qingguo?"

"There is no shame in the face. Fan Xian smiled and said, "Although I don't think of myself as a traitor, people will definitely think that I am the biggest Qingjiān." ”

Begonia smiled, speechless to confess to his people. Fan Xian then smiled: "Besides, for this world, I don't mind being an internationalist. ”

............ "The auspicious Rui from all over Qingguo, are you doing it?" Haitang asked with a bowed head.

Fan Xian did not deny that the things in Wuzhou, Shazhou and other places were naturally done by the Supervision Yuan, as for Jingxing Qingyun observed by Qin Tianjian...... Don't forget that the former Qin Tianjian was the second prince, and he had been invited to tea by the Supervision Yuan on a dark and windy night, and he had not been released until today, and the current Qin Tianjian had a rather unpredictable relationship with Fan Xian.

He thought in his heart, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty is making three white leaves on the top of the north, and there are few beasts on the snowy mountains on my side, but the whole auspicious cloud comes out, and it can always press you.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo......" Haitang pondered the wording: "Although he has rarely come forward in these years, everyone in the world knows that His Majesty is talented, especially this time the teacher accepted your sister as a closed disciple, it is difficult to say that he will not guess anything." ”

Fan Xian nodded: "These things can't be hidden from Your Majesty, as a courtier, I won't hide them, and I have already written a secret note to submit related matters." ”

Haitang was slightly surprised and said, "You are above board, so what will you not say?"

Fan Xian frowned, and said very seriously: "For example, moving the silver from the inner treasury to your own house, this kind of thing, of course, is not too embarrassed to talk to His Majesty." ”

The boat fell silent again, and the lake was silent again. Fan Xian looked at the slightly sad begonia, and found that after half a year, the heart of this girl's family seemed to have changed slightly.

Facing Begonia, in fact, Fan Xian is a little faintly uneasy, in these rì getting along with each other since last year, he inherits the principle of remembering the heart of one word, tries to be as open as possible in the exchange, treats each other sincerely, and even says some childish words, on the one hand, he really cherishes Begonia as a friend, on the other hand, he wants to influence this woman from the heart and get a powerful help - the starting point is with interests, which makes him a little ashamed.

There was a rush of horses' hooves on the lakeside, Fan Xian looked back, and saw a horse galloping across the lakeside stone road, driving brightly to the gate of Peng's Zhuangyuan, where no official dared to come to the door again.
