Chapter 37: Brothers
The Supervision Yuan dealt with the matter of raiding the building in a very measured manner, and only the people who had a relationship with the Fan Liu family were arrested, and those little rabbit cubs in the Guogong Mansion were beaten back home by Fan Xian to recuperate from their injuries on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were not qualified to get involved too deeply, so they didn't catch it.
After the Mu uncle and nephew finished arresting people, they didn't reply to Fan Tisi next to the carriage, and consciously escorted those young people to Fan's mansion. When the people of the Supervision Yuan saw Fan Xian standing outside the carriage and did not enter for a long time, and the people in the carriage did not get down, they knew that there must be a more noble person in the carriage than Fan Xian - Fan Xian himself was a relative of the country, and the car must be a royal relative.
There was no result in copying the building, and Fan Xian wanted to destroy Fan Sizhe's account books related to Baoyue Tower, which undoubtedly became an impossible task. And since he was forced to maintain a temporary peace with His Second Highness because of this matter, it would be very stupid to check Baoyue Tower again.
The people of the Supervision Yuan withdrew, and the people of Kyoto Prefecture came to maintain law and order, and it seemed that they had returned to normal, and the Fan Liu family still owned as much as seventy percent of the shares of Baoyue Building, and continued to be the notorious prostitute in Kyoto, while Fan Tisi and the second prince were in an intimate conversation.
It seems that Kyoto is about to be peaceful.
The second prince in the car looked at Fan Xian's calm face, and couldn't help but have a trace of admiration and appreciation in his heart, the matter of hugging the moon tower was enough to make most people angry, but Fan Xian was so calm, and he accepted his peaceful construction without dragging his feet, he was really a strong man who was good at judging the situation and had the courage to make decisions.
And whenever he looked at the familiar smile on Fan Xian's face, he was a little uneasy and cordial in his heart, and always felt that the other party should be a very similar person to himself, although the other party was a courtier, but he still had a strong impulse to have a deep conversation with the other party!
............ "Hongcheng, you go first, I have some personal things to talk about with Master Fan." The second prince said lightly, but he didn't care about the eyes of the crowd on the street, and Shi Shiran stepped down from the carriage.
Fan Xian frowned slightly, a little surprised by the other party's move, just now he had clearly said that he was going back to the house, and he didn't want to have a deep conversation, but the other party, as the prince of the prince, personally got out of the car and invited him, he didn't say anything to give him face, but also wanted to hear what he wanted to say, so he bowed his head slightly.
Li Hongcheng glanced at him with a hint of apology, and drove away from the place of right and wrong of Baoyue Tower with the carriage.
The second prince's pair of brocade shoes stepped on the street, couldn't help stretching, and in the whispers of the crowd in the distance, he led Fan Xian into a tea shop.
Fan Xian took a sip of the bowl, raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and raised his eyes to look at the second prince.
The second prince said with a smile: "I know that you are good, every time I go to Hongcheng Mansion, I will ask for some sour syrup to drink." Then he said gently: "The matter of Baoyue Tower, I think Brother Fan must hate me very much." β
Fan Xian curled his lips slightly: "I'm not a saint, so naturally I'm also sentient." β
The second prince shook his head and said: "At first, your second brother and my third brother discussed doing business, I already knew about it, and I helped some ...... secretly" He looked at Fan Xian's face, "But don't get me wrong, at that time, the court and the central government thought that your Fan family was friendly with me, and I naturally couldn't have the idea of coercing you, just trying to find some common interests for both sides, so that the relationship between them can be closer." Who knew that now it has become a means of doing it, and it is really not what I wanted. β
Fan Xian had already judged the other party's thoughts when he was repairing the Moon Tower in the first place, and he was not very surprised, but he just listened to his own methods, but he didn't know how to deal with it, and said with a slight sneer: "Your Highness is very kind to the ministers...... It's really blue-eyed. β
The second prince was not afraid to continue on this topic, and said lightly: "I have always valued you very much, you should know it very well...... So I don't understand why you want to target me after you return to Beijing. β
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Your Highness's words are a little confused, Fan is just a courtier, what good can I do for Your Highness?"
The second prince stared into his eyes and said slowly, "I need you to sue me...... I know that you can't be willing to be a pawn of the prince, so I really don't understand. β
I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the prince would be so open and honest when he asked each other, Fan Xian felt a little surprised, and then a clear smile appeared on his face, and he responded softly: "Your Highness really doesn't understand?"
The second prince looked into his eyes and shook his head slightly.
Fan Xian tilted his head slightly, knocked on the table top of the wooden table with his knuckles, and suddenly said, "Niulan Street." β
The second prince was silent, and said after a while: "This matter is mine, no." After saying this, he actually stood up and bowed deeply to Fan Xian!
As the emperor's own son, he actually saluted a courtier to make amends!
............ Fan Xian didn't show the look that the second prince was looking forward to seeing, he sat on the chair like a stubborn stone and ice, squinted at him, and said softly: "Your Highness is Your Highness after all, and the courtier is a courtier after all, and it is a major matter related to your life.
The second prince took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest that had not appeared for many years, and said coldly: "Then how can Lord Fan mend the relationship between you and me?"
Fan Xian suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, the last round of investigation ...... Do you know why, who made my mother-in-law look at my son-in-law unpleasantly, one moment an assassin, another time the Metropolitan Procuratorate? And I will take over the inner treasury next year, and I will have to conflict with Xinyang, if Your Highness is willing to accept one thing from me, I dare not guarantee that there will be some favoritism, but at least in Beijing in the future, I will let the Supervision Yuan maintain a relatively fair posture. β
The second prince's heart was slightly cold, and the trace of negative feelings that were still lingering in his chest had long been gone, and in the past few months, his own people and the courtiers in the court had been watched by the Supervision Yuan, including those who were in the supervision of the Qintian Prison, and they were all unlucky, which gave the entire second prince a headache. He listened to Fan Xian at this time to make the Supervision Yuan change his attitude, where would he not be moved?
After a moment's deep groaning, he stretched out his right hand and said very softly, "Lord Tiji, please speak." β
This sentence uses the official title.
Fan Xian looked at him and said with a smile: "If Your Highness can keep your distance from the eldest princess, I will wish you peace for the rest of your life." β
The second prince was stunned, and he never thought that the other party would propose such a ridiculous proposal and promise himself that he would be safe for the rest of his life?
The two young magnates who don't look alike, but have very similar temperaments and tastes, sit opposite the table and don't speculate.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ Fan looked at him and said: "Your Highness is puzzled, Fan is also puzzled, this dragon chair is really so easy to sit on? Isn't peace a rare blessing? Your Highness has always liked it, and Concubine Shu is also a snow-like Qingming character, why can't she see through the joints?"
Even though there was no one in the tea shop at this time, this conversation was not afraid to be listened to by others, but suddenly when Fan Xian said his thoughts nakedly, the heart of the second prince still trembled uncontrollably, there are many things in this world that can only be done but not said, just like he wants to take the throne again, but he is still very respectful to the prince, who knows that the person in front of him said it so lightly!
It wasn't until now that the second prince really knew what kind of Cheng dΓΉ Fan Xian was so bold!
A ghostly light flashed in the eyes of the second prince, but this dark light was touched by Fan Xian's words, and finally gradually burned, staring at Fan Xian's face, and said coldly in a low voice: "Everyone knows that the dragon chair is not easy to sit on!" But I am in the house of the Son of Heaven, and I can't help myself, this chair, I want to grab it, I don't want to grab it...... If I have a choice, I'd rather go to Taixue to repair books every day than get involved in this matter!"
Fan Xian squinted his eyes slightly: "Could it be that someone forced you to fail?"
Perhaps it was a trace of blood aroused by Fan Xian's boldness, and the second prince sneered: "Of course someone forced it...... When I was 13 years old, he made me king, and when I was 14 years old, he built a house outside the palace, ostensibly to drive me out of the palace, but in fact he gave me the opportunity to pay the ministers! When I was 15 years old, he let me enter the imperial study to listen to the affairs of the court...... Do you know? Before me, only the crown prince had such a chance!"
The second prince's delicate face gradually distorted: "I don't want to fight! But these things come out one by one, what can I do? Could it be that the East Palace will think that I have no intention of taking the heir? The prince was young at the time, but his eyes were so resentful when he looked at me...... We are brothers! He was only thirteen years old when he wanted to kill me! Even if I could convince the prince, what about the queen? Will she let me go?"
Fan Xian was silent, listening to the second prince go crazy.
"It was he who pushed me to this position...... "The eyes of the second prince were like cold fire in the ice, which made people shudder, "I want to protect my mother, I want to protect my life...... Since he wants me to fight, I'll fight for him!"
Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, knowing that the only one who could force a prince to embark on the road to winning the throne was actually the emperor himself, he smiled slightly and said: "But have you thought about it, maybe he just used you as a stone, a whetstone used to force the prince to mature." β
"It has been clear for a long time. The second prince flicked his sleeves coldly, "I am also a delicate son of the sky, who would be willing to be a whetstone that will be broken in the future?" So I have to fight, in case I really win in the future...... I'd be happier to see his regret than if I were in that chair. β
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Why vent your resentment on this kind of thing? His Royal Highness has already made the prince, but it seems that he knows much better than His Second Highness...... If someone wants to push you down the river to swim with someone, your best resistance is to fight to the death, and it's a big deal to turn around and fight the person behind you...... Instead of going down to the river and strangling the opponent you're playing with. β
The second prince finally calmed down at this time, and looked at Fan Xian with a shocked face: "What are you talking about...... Traces of rebellion ......"
Fan Xian shook his head indifferently: "What His Highness said today is a big rebellion...... Not less than me. β
The second prince's eyebrows suddenly jumped twice, looked at Fan Xian, and suddenly said after a while: "Help me, Fan Xian." β
Fan Xian shook his head calmly and even a little indifferently.
"Why?" the second prince said in a quiet voice, "You will always need to choose one person in the future." β
Fan Xian didn't answer his words, just thought...... The person in front of him should be his elder brother in terms of blood relationship, right? Unlike ordinary courtiers, he didn't want to make a choice at all, but he was a little frightened by the iron-blooded and ruthless education method of His Majesty Qingguo, and gradually became afraid.
Looking at the "sincere" gaze of the second prince, Fan Xian finally spoke: "Don't get too close to Xinyang, that woman is an extremely talented madman, I don't know what she is thinking." β
The second prince regained his composure, smiled slightly, and sat down.
Fan Xian sighed in his heart, knowing that although the other party was moved by his own strength, he still trusted the strength of the eldest princess more. But it's okay in this way, at least in the future, when I deal with the second highness in front of me, my heart will be harder.
"I still don't want to be your enemy. The second prince said.
After Fan Xian was silent for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Even if this incident doesn't happen, I will knock you into the dust......
A hint of banter flashed in the eyes of the second prince, as if he felt that Fan Xian's arrogance was a little too far beyond the boundary.
Fan Xian didn't pay attention to his eyes at all, and said lightly: "Perhaps, this is what can make you ...... And Hongcheng is the only way to survive. β
The second prince heard the pity and disdain in the other party's tone, and got up angrily, staring coldly at Fan Xian's eyes.
Fan Xian sneered slightly: "Your Highness, never think that you can control the affairs of Baoyue Tower. β
The atmosphere in the tea shop cooled down sharply, and eight people slowly walked outside the shop, eight people who were dressed exactly the same, but they couldn't see how old they were.
Everyone has a murderous aura deep in their bodies!
Some are like a knife, some are like a sword, some are like a giant axe...... Indomitable.
............ Fan Xian knew that it was impossible for the second prince to choose to snipe him in the downtown area, squinted slightly, looked at the eight people who didn't know where to enter the tea shop, and said softly: "The four generals Gan, Liu, Xie, and Fan, the four gentlemen of He, Zhang, Xu, and Cao, the eight generals in the hands of the legendary Second Highness, turned out to be born like this. β
The second prince looked at him and said, "Fan Xian, I value you, but it doesn't mean that I have to need you, so don't be too arrogant." β
Fan Xian stood up, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "The Qi Nian group under my command can't beat the eight people under His Highness, so I won't shout out and show my eyes...... But there is an honest saying that you still have to say, Your Highness, no matter how many dead soldiers you have, it will be of no use to the general trend at all, otherwise Chen Pingping would have been the emperor a long time ago. β
Laughing, he dropped his last rebellious words and left the pantry in style.
When he came out of the shop, he seemed to pass through the most powerful generals of the eight second princes in an appropriate manner, but he shrugged his shoulders slightly before the second general of Gan Xie, and waved his hand in front of Xu Cao Erjun, a faint breath was separated from the murderous aura contained in the eight people's bodies, and it instantly diverged up along the wooden pillar of the tea shop, mixed with the autumn afternoon sun outside the shop, and no trace could be found.
............ A moment after Fan Xian left, the second prince propped his jaw on the table, frowning slightly, not knowing why he suddenly lost his temper in front of Fan Xian today, and said many things that had been hidden in the deepest part of his heart. He took a deep breath, a trace of solemnity flashed on his delicate face, and he said in a cold voice: "If one day in the future, you need to kill him, how many people do you need?"
Xie Bi'an slowly put the sword in the sheath back into his white sleeve, and said Mu Ran: "One person is enough." β
Fan Wusu had a black face, shook his head slightly, and said, "The eight generals are all out, and they may not be able to keep this little Fan yet." β
The second prince lost his mind a little, thinking that he didn't even say a word to the eight generals, this Fan Xian is really an incomprehensible horn...... But he immediately thought that through the matter of Huyue Tower, the other party would not make a move on him at least for a short time, so he shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Fan Xian, who was sitting in the carriage ββββββββββββββββββββββββ, carefully washed away the faint fragrance remaining between his fingers with water, a little disappointed in this conversation, although he took a big risk to lure out some of the thoughts of the Second Highness, but there was no useful information, and he still did not understand the arrangement between him and the eldest princess, it seems that this Second Highness is really a calm and bookish character, but he is not a confidant eldest sister, knowing these things, it is useless.
When the carriage arrived at Fan's mansion, he jumped off the carriage, walked through the corner gate very calmly, walked quickly to the back garden, ignored the inexplicable members of the Fan Liu clan on the road, and came directly to the study, pushed open the door with steady hands, and then kicked out!
There was a scream in the study! In the frightened eyes of the family, Fan Sizhe, who had no idea what was going on, was kicked into a round ball by this kick and smashed it on the Taishi chair, smashing the chair into several pieces.
