Chapter 143: The Ruthless Hand (I)

Mu Feng'er was stunned, his eyes narrowed, he didn't know why this guy in front of him, who looked like an old scholar, dared to make such a ridiculous request. A traitor who has been captured, he actually wants to see his own master Tisi, even if you are the chief strategist of Xinyang, but in such a tense night, you can only be arrested and imprisoned, and temporarily save your life.

In his heart, Yuan Hongdao was only afraid that he knew that he had no way to live, so he wanted to use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to meet Fan Xian and persuade Lord Tisi to let him live.

However, Mu Feng'er, an official of the Supervision Yuan, was very disgusted with these so-called strategists who only knew how to talk and conspire in his heart, and there was no relevant explanation in the orders he received, and he would not give Yuan Hongdao any more time to struggle.

Seeing Yuan Hongdao open his mouth in a hurry, Mu Feng'er confirmed his judgment more and more, this little old man seemed to be really afraid of death.

He frowned, didn't give Yuan Hongdao a chance to speak, withdrew the short sword, and then smashed it with a fist, directly smashing a green bag on Yuan Hongdao's temple, knocking him unconscious.

Yuan Hongdao only felt a buzz in his head, and as soon as he saw a flower in front of him, he fainted to the ground, and the moment he fainted, his heart was full of anger and helplessness, because as the only person left in the first batch of nails in the Supervision Yuan, he deeply knew how strict the task requirements of the Supervision Yuan were, and since this Supervision Yuan official did not know his identity, of course he would choose this rough and simple way to silence himself.

In the whole world, only three people knew that he, the chief strategist of Xinyang, was a member of the Supervision Yuan, one was the emperor who had died on the Dadong Mountain, one was the old dean Chen who heard that he had been poisoned and was being hunted down by the Qin army, and the other was Yan Ruohai, as for the palace maid who had faced him, he had died in an accident.

Yuan Hongdao couldn't confirm his identity, and Mu Feng'er didn't give him this opportunity in strict accordance with the regulations of the academy - this may be the common sorrow of countless worlds from ancient times to the present, and the possibility of them falling into the hands of their comrades is often greater than when they expose their identities and are wiped out by the enemy.

He was just a little remorseful and worried.

Mu Feng'er didn't know that the person who passed out in front of him was his senior, and he didn't know how many unknowable dangers his simple punch would bring to Kyoto in the next few years. He simply ordered his men to clean up the courtyard of the eldest princess, and then escorted the remaining captives and put them in the deep black prison of the Supervision Yuan.

............ Fan Xian took two ephedra pills in a row, and the strong medicinal power made his eyes covered with a faint and ominous red sè, but in the middle of the night, he couldn't see it clearly.

He walked under the imperial city, respectfully greeted the ministers who were imprisoned by the prince in the prison of the Criminal Department, and held Shu Wu and Hu Daxue with both hands, his thin lips were slightly open, but he was moved and couldn't say anything.

There is no need to disguise anything, Fan Xian was indeed moved by the Wenchen of Qingguo to stand on his side at such a critical juncture. Although he has the edict of His Majesty in his hand, although Wuzhou's father-in-law finally stood up at the most urgent juncture, his protégé who was most hidden in the court. But he knew how courageous it was to oppose the crown prince's accession to the throne in the Taiji Palace.

If Li Chengqian was as cold-blooded as himself or the second child, I am afraid that these ministers would have already become dozens of heroic souls in the palace.

Shu Wu and Scholar Hu didn't say anything, but just saluted Fan Xian. Shu Wu is the first person in the world to see the edict, and Scholar Hu also knows the content of the edict, knowing that although Fan Xian does not have the name of supervising the country, he has the fact of supervising the country.

His Majesty handed over the power to establish the heir to the throne to Lord Xiao Fan, this kind of trust, this kind of sustenance, is really rare to see.

"Time is of the essence. Fan Xian knew that this was not the time to exchange words of admiration, and said in a harmonious voice to the ministers in the hall: "Please rest here for a while, and the imperial doctor will come to treat you in a few days." ”

"Grandpa, go and get busy. Scholar Hu said gently: "At this time, we people have no effect, the flag has been waved, and the shouts have come out, if those rebellious ministers and thieves still do not stop, they need to be held by the Duke of Heaven and killed them one by one." ”

Although the words are light, the support for Fan Xian is fully revealed.

Fan Xian said: "I don't know how many major things, need the support of your lords, now the queen mother has known the evil deeds of the prince and the eldest princess, heartache, sick in bed, all the court affairs on the two bosses, and hope that the two adults will temporarily endure the pain of the skin, for me Daqing to stand this class." ”

"Don't dare to do what you want. ”

Shu Wu hissed and spoke, and dozens of ministers behind him also surrendered their hands, these ministers knew that the situation in Kyoto was still complicated, and it was better to quickly settle the unification. As for the news that the Queen Mother was sick in bed, these ministers subconsciously filtered it out in their minds.

No one is a fool, especially these ministers, they all know that Fan Xian intends to use the means of blackmailing the Empress Dowager to order the officials, and now he has the edict of the first emperor in his hands, the empress dowager, and the support of the ministers, and the whole of Kyoto, at least on the surface, is stable.

The ministers began to rest on the spot in the side compartment of the Taiji Hall, although this place is much better than the prison of the Criminal Department, but it is still deserted, and the floor is hard and hard, but everyone knows that before the Great Dynasty Meeting is held, they should not be in a hurry to enjoy it.

And Hu Shu and the two scholars followed Fan Xian into the imperial study, and in this room where Emperor Qing presided over the government and approved the chapters, the lights were still very bright. Fan Xian didn't need to hide anything in front of these two scholars, and his calm face naturally showed worry.

After some conversation, the faces of the two scholars Hu Shu also became heavy, they thought that Fan Xian had completely controlled all the situation, but they didn't expect that the crown prince and the eldest princess were actually missing!

"A qiē according to the ancestral routine. In the silence, Scholar Hu suddenly spoke calmly, "No matter what kind of ridiculous and shameless things these rebels and thieves will do, they will not surprise us. Although it is not possible to end the current chaotic situation immediately, the great court meeting must be held today, and the crimes of the crown prince and the eldest princess must be clearly promulgated to the world. ”

Shu Wu said cautiously: "The text is issued in the world...... This...... How does this make the imperial court explain to all the people in the world?"

Scholar Hu said calmly: "Orthodoxy and righteousness are explanations, and if you act in secret and do not say it, it will be inappropriate." ”

Fan Xian nodded, thinking that this scholar Hu still insisted on holding a court meeting immediately at such a complicated moment, which was extremely close to his own thoughts. It is precisely because they don't know if the crown prince and the eldest princess will escape from Kyoto, these people in the palace must immediately abolish the crown prince, pass on the unification of the Qingguo royal family, and then edict the four fields...... The discussion was settled, and Hu Shu and the two scholars began to write letters by hand, drawing up a brief outline of what happened in Kyoto, and then Fan Xian solemnly stamped the seal entrusted to him by the emperor, and then stamped the seal of the queen mother snatched from the Hanguang Palace, and then signed his name.

After sealing these dozen letters, Fan Xian handed them over to his cronies, and sent them to the Governor's Mansion on the Seven Great Roads of Qingguo by secret mail in the Supervision Yuan, and also sent them to the Fifth Route Army stationed on the border line.

It's just that Fan Xian knows that the letter sent to Cangzhou to conquer the northern camp is only useless.

When Fan Xian stamped the seal of the Queen Mother, Hu Shu and the two bachelors glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly, thinking that Lord Xiao Fan was really bold in front of him.

A dozen or so messengers rushed out of the palace as fast as they could, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, and rushed into the streets of Kyoto, where it seemed that they would never get light, mingling with the noise of fighting everywhere, and mixing with the fires that burned and went out from time to time, and drove in the direction of the city gates.

They have an important mission on their shoulders.

"Can you get out of the city?" Scholar Hu suddenly looked at Fan Xian quietly, this scholar wanted to get a letter from Fan Xian's mouth, who is the Thirteen City Gate Division in control now.

Fan Xian's brows furrowed, and he said, "There should be no problem, my people went at the beginning." ”

Scholar Hu knew that Fan Xian never told lies, and since he had already sent someone to such a critical position as the Thirteen City Gate Division, he must have sent the most powerful person.

Fan Xian walked out of the imperial study, waved his hand to summon Grandpa Dai, who was waiting outside the door, and said after a moment of silence: "Is there any problem with the queen?"

Today's situation in the palace has changed early, the old eunuch Hong and the eunuch Yao sacrificed to the sky with His Majesty, but they were afraid that they had already died on the Dadong Mountain, and the Hou Gonggong was extremely indifferent and ruthless by Fan Xian with a crossbow arrow shè death, and Hong Zhu, who had infinite scenery in the past two years, was imprisoned in the cold palace with the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace. And Dai's father-in-law opened the palace door privately and made a great contribution, and he was a person trusted by Fan Xian, so he naturally picked up the position of the chief eunuch again.

Today's harem is guarded by the forbidden army, and all internal affairs are handled by Dai's father-in-law.

He leaned over and replied respectfully: "By the order of the grandfather, I have been escorted into the cold palace, and the mother is still in good health, but the god is a little embarrassed." ”

Fan Xian nodded, fled in the middle of the night but was caught back, in other words, no one could bear this kind of jīng divine torture.

The power of the medicine gradually weakened, and Fan Xian felt that the god jīng was a little tired, although he knew that this was not the time to rest, he still leaned on the column outside the imperial study tiredly, looking at the square next to the palace, silent.

He didn't lie to Master Hu, and as the eldest prince said, it was impossible for him to really give up the Chengmen Division from the beginning, but his manpower in Kyoto was too small, and there were thousands of officers and soldiers in the Chengmen Division, and it was impossible to solve it with that kind of violent means, so he made a copy of His Majesty's edict and handed it to the person he trusted the most.

He had confidence in that person, and he also had confidence in the commander of the Chengmen Division, the commander surnamed Zhang was an authentic royalist, and after the assassination of Emperor Qing, he only obeyed the orders of the empress dowager, so that he could keep the armies of the Qin and Ye families out of Kyoto.

No matter which aspect is considered, the City Gate Division should make a choice that is in line with Fan Xian's interests at this time.

Fan Xian didn't know that the pillar he was leaning on was once the place where His Majesty the Emperor and Chen Pingping had two conversations. He didn't know that there was a person named Yuan Hongdao, who had been knocked unconscious by his loyal subordinates at this time and imprisoned in the prison of the Supervision Yuan.

He was just very worried about Wan'er Dabao and his father in King Jing's mansion, and there was no news to report it, and he didn't know if anyone could rescue his wife and brother-in-law, and what was the safety of King Jing's mansion at this time.

............ When Xiao Yangongzi, dressed in white, came out of the back garden of Kyoto Mansion, Fan Xian's palace raid had not yet begun, and Mu Tie, who was responsible for subduing Kyoto Mansion, was still ambushed in the dark night outside the mansion.

He straightened out his white clothes, walked into an alley, and looked back at the night sky, where a firework bloomed, which was very beautiful.

Yan Bingyun, who was usually indifferent, looked at the fireworks that were about to disperse in the night sky and smiled, knowing that Fan Xian had already done it, and he had to hurry up.

He didn't wear a night suit today, but an eye-catching white robe, which looked out of place with the night around him. Because his mission to go to the City Gate Division was not to assassinate, but to subdue, to deal with those loyal soldiers, Yan Bingyun knew how to win the trust of the other party.

Came to the city gate division stationed in the yamen, and under the escort of dozens of officers and soldiers with spears, Yan Bingyun calmly came to the yamen, waiting for the reception of Commander Zhang.

"Lord Yan is now a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and he actually came to see the general, which is really bold. ”

Commander Zhang of the Thirteen City Gates, the key person who controls the opening and closing of the nine city gates in Kyoto, slowly walked out of the door, looked at Yan Bingyun, who was dressed in white, and frowned and said.

Yan Bingyun looked at him quietly, and after a while, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Your Majesty's edict, I don't know whether Commander Zhang will accept it or not." ”
