Chapter Seventy-Two: I Know What You Did Last Summer
Gundam confirmed that there were no enemies around, and returned the long knife to its sheath with some grunt, making a dry mute as the blade rubbed against the sheath.
The six swordsmen wearing black sè lotus clothes next to them and the spies disguised as passers-by not far away reported at almost the same time, and there was no difference. Fan Xian's subordinates looked at him with a strange gaze, not knowing what happened in the carriage at that moment just now.
Fujikokyo cleared the gravel wheels out of front of him and carefully prepared to help him.
Fan Xian shook his head and waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him. Then he realized that his subconscious anger had brought so much garbage to this quiet long street, and so much trouble to his subordinates.
Gundam walked up to him with the long knife on his back and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what happened?"
"It's fine. Fan Xian smiled bitterly and walked forward.
The work of the Supervision House was extremely efficient, and it didn't take long for another brand-new black carriage to come from the corner of the street and stop in front of everyone. Fuji Zijing rubbed his frightened and weak legs, and was about to take the reins, Fan Xian reprimanded: "I'm scared like this, go back and rest." β
Fuji Zijing responded with a smile and handed the reins to Mu Feng'er.
Naturally, someone began to clean up the streets so as not to disturb the people of Kyoto. The carriage started again, and Fan Xian sat in the carriage thoughtfully, never saying a word. Mu Feng'er drove the carriage on the quiet street, the more she walked, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't help but turn around and say through the cotton curtain: "My lord, the palace is urgent." β
There was a will to let Fan Xian enter the palace to discuss matters, but Fan Xian went shopping in a carriage. Mu Feng'er was the one who went to the prince's mansion to pass the decree before, and he knew that no matter how arrogant Lord Xiao Fan was, the majesty in the palace was reluctant to blame him, but what should he do?
Fan Xian cared about Xihu and the palace in his heart at this time, and his head was full of lawsuits, and he scolded: "I'm thinking about things, don't bother me!"
The people around the carriage looked at each other, and they all felt very strange in their hearts, and they couldn't understand why Lord Tisi was in such a bad mood today.
In the eyes of officials all over the world, Fan Xian, the director of the Supervision Yuan, is a gentle and vicious guy with a gentle appearance, but in the eyes of the insiders of the Supervision Yuan, Xiao Fan is a boss who is extremely lenient, extremely generous, and generous.
Don't talk about scolding, in ordinary business, Fan Xian won't even say a heavy word to his henchmen. So everyone was strange, and they didn't know what caused Lord Xiao Fan to lose his temper so much. But no one dared to ask.
The carriage did not go straight to the palace, but went to the Supervision Yuan at Fan Xian's insistence.
He stepped out of the car in three steps, and without looking at the square black and gray building, he walked inside, and there were occasional officials of the Supervision Yuan who went out on business on the road, and when they saw the evil look on Lord Tisi's face today, they were all startled, and quickly avoided and saluted.
was about to enter the Supervision Yuan, but Fan Xian suddenly stopped.
He stopped too quickly, and Gundam and Mu Feng'er, who were following him, were a little unresponsive, and almost collided together.
Fan Xian didn't look at them...... Just twisting his neck and turning his head back, desperately trying to get there...... It seems that he wants to see what is wrong behind him.
A person wants to turn his head to look at his hips, this is really a very difficult action, even with the flexibility of a nine-rank master like Fan Xian, he feels very difficult.
His neck was a little sore, and his body reacted naturally, and began to circle in place, like a buttocks covered by a black official uniform, ashamed to touch his gaze, desperately trying to escape.
Turn your head to look at your buttocks and circle in place.
Round and round.
............ Fan Xian's behavior is too ridiculous and funny. This is the gate of the Supervision Yuan, and he is the high Lord of the Supervision Yuan, but he looks like a cat...... Keep spinning in circles trying to see your own tail.
Gao Gao and Mu Feng'er on the side looked at this scene, their mouths opened wide, the corners of their eyes twitched directly, they were very speechless, speechless, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, they didn't know which one Fan Xian was playing.
And the officials inside and outside the gate of the Supervision Yuan were also in a daze when they looked at this scene, and they turned into countless clay statues, watching Master Tisi turn around in a circle.
However, it was quiet, and the strong nerves of the officials of the Supervision Yuan kept them silent, and they didn't know if Lord Tisi, who had suddenly turned into a madman, was testing himself.
Gundam closed his lips with great difficulty, looked at Fan Xian, and thought to himself, didn't the young master stay with the eldest young master of the Lin family for a long time, and he became a little stupid, right?
Fan Xian suddenly stopped his Hu Xuan dance and stood in place.
Although he only turned around a few times, for those who saw this scene next to him, the time of a few laps already made them feel like a year.
Fan Xian stood there for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed behind him, and asked Gundam, "Has the way I walked changed?"
"Nope. Gundam shook his head in confusion.
Fan Xian calmed down for a while, sighed, scratched his head, and then said, "I also think it's normal." β
Neither Gao nor Mu Feng'er understood, Fan Xian suddenly shuddered, frowned a little disgustingly, wiped his sweaty hands in front of his placket twice, and walked towards the courtyard.
When the figures of the three disappeared into the hall at the main entrance of the Supervision Yuan, the officials of the Supervision Yuan who had turned into clay sculptures came back to life, and they all felt extremely ridiculous in their hearts, looked at each other for a few times, saw the smile in each other's eyes, and then a burst of discussion rang out.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ Fan Xian didn't know that his gaffe had brought countless talking points to the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan in this boring winter. He didn't have the heart to pay attention to these questions, he directly entered the secret room, and did not greet the confused Yan Bingyun, and directly asked him to take the northern intelligence file in the past year and a half.
The movements of the second place were extremely fast, and in less than a cup of tea, the mountain-like northern intelligence files had already been piled up on the table in the secret room.
Fan Xian waved his hand and asked Yan Bingyun to leave very rudely. Yan Bingyun frowned, seeing that Fan Xian was uneasy, he went out of the house and whispered a few words to Gao Gao and Mu Feng'er, but he didn't get any clues.
A sealed file was opened and closed again. Fan Xian frowned and fell into deep thought, most of these dossiers involved stories and news in the Shangjing Imperial Palace, in the previous rìzi, Fan Xian had already seen most of the content, especially the part involving the Northern Qi Emperor, which was the top priority for him.
However, in the past, it was very difficult to analyze the xìng grid of the Northern Qi Emperor from these chaotic intelligence, but now Fan Xian already has his own guesses and judgments about the Northern Qi Emperor in his heart, and it is much easier to find clues according to this.
The so-called bold assumptions, careful verification, and a goal in front of it, are always easier, and after a while, Fan Xian has already understood his own guesses, strung together countless details in the old scrolls, and gradually got closer to the absurd facts.
That fact that was enough to shock the world, make countless people's heads fall to the ground, and make Fan Xian depressed.
It is clearly written in these dossiers that the Emperor of Northern Qi has been held by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and even his personal grandmother has not been changed, and it has always been those two people for more than ten years. As an emperor, there are only two grandmothers, and the configuration of palace maids is very small, which is really very different from the extravagant style of Northern Qi.
The Empress Dowager of Northern Qi explained that the Great Wei Dynasty overthrew the country with pompousness, so she had to teach Her Majesty to get used to a simple and simple life since childhood.
And the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty thought that he was not a good woman, and the four side concubines from ordinary families ...... At this time, in Fan Xian's eyes, it is enough to explain too many things. Just as the second prince said in the prince's mansion, the king of a country, the harem is a wonderful weapon to stabilize and balance the court, according to the theory, it is impossible not to crown the children of several ministers of the court as concubines.
It's a bit of a stupid act, but ...... Fan Xian only learned today that this was the mother and son in the Northern Qi Palace...... No, the mother and daughter had to choose.
If the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty married the daughter of a minister, but never had sex, the news would naturally spread to the princes and nobles, causing some people to speculate. And even if you don't have sex, you always have to sit opposite each other, lie down together, and you will always be found by the daughters of those ministers.
Only by marrying the daughters of commoners can you completely control this qiΔ.
With the pervasive intelligence methods of the Nanqing Supervision Yuan, it is impossible to have a completely detailed description of the Northern Qi Emperor, let alone what physical characteristics the other party has, which is enough to prove how strict the Northern Qi Imperial Palace is in protecting the body of the Northern Qi Emperor.
All of these qiΔ, in the case of Fan Xian's determination, all point to a big secret that cannot be revealed to the world.
If you don't marry the daughter of a minister, you are so careful in bathing...... In addition to proving that the Northern Qi Emperor had some unspeakable secrets, it also indirectly comforted Fan Xian a little.
The Emperor of Northern Qi was not in love with Xìng, he ...... She's a woman.
............ Fan Xian rubbed his eyes, raised his head, leaned back in the chair, and thought of something thoughtfully. On his right hand side he still has information sent by Si Li Tong GuΓ² through secret channels, but there is no need to read it. Since this is the case for the Emperor of Northern Qi, Si Lili must know it, so these endless sources of information about Shangjing, if you don't want to know it, must be full of water.
Fan Xian's right hand clenched slightly, and immediately let go again. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the words that Haitang had said in the capital of Northern Qi back then.
"Several of our sisters think it's feasible......"
............ A wry smile appeared on the corner of Fan Xian's lips, and a few sisters ?...... Emperor of Northern Qi, Begonia Blossom, Si Lili, this combination of sisters is inevitably too powerful, but they play with themselves in the palm of their hands, which is really annoying.
Was the person who was with him that night really the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty? The faint fragrance of golden osmanthus flowers...... If it was really the little emperor of Northern Qi, why did she take such a big risk to have a relationship with herself?
Fan Xian's brows furrowed, and he buried himself in the file again, carefully checking the information in the Shangjing Imperial Palace in the past year and a half.
He is a very self-aware person, although he knows that he has a so-called title of poet in this world, Zhuang Mohan admires him very much, he is born with a good skin, writes a few sour words, and says a few witty words...... However, he did not think that he was a walking chΕ«n medicine sachet that could attract women from all over the world to worship under his black lotus clothes regardless of life or death.
Especially the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, judging from the cooperation of Jiangnan and Beidi, it is an extremely powerful and far-sighted corner sè, and it is impossible to play a trick because of the beauty of the picture.
As for feelings, although Fan Xian believed in love at first sight, he didn't think that an emperor who was a perennial female companion and lived in danger would indulge his mind so much.
There is only one explanation.
............ After cleaning up the information of the last year and a half, Fan Xian raised his head again with some satisfaction, in the past year and a half, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty still went to court according to rì, there was no phenomenon that the king did not go to the early dynasty, nor did he go out to play, let alone go to the palace to escape the summer and hunt.
In short, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty has not been out of people's sight for more than two days, and the supply of drugs in the Imperial Palace Hospital in Shangjing is also normal, judging from Fan Xian's keen sense of medicine, there is no trace of fetal medicine, of course, if the other party starts secretly, there is no way.
However, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the little emperor of Northern Qi to get pregnant.
This judgment made Fan Xian's mood relax a lot, and he subconsciously stood up and stretched. What he was most afraid of was to let the other party conceive a child after a while with the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
It's not that he is not psychologically prepared to be a father, but he is not ready to be the father of an emperor, especially unwilling to become the object of the other party's borrowing in this passive situation.
Borrowing seeds and borrowing seeds, since there are no seeds to take root and sprout, it doesn't matter. The yΔ«n depression in Fan Xian's heart has long since dissipated, men are often like this, and having a relationship with a woman is really nothing, even if it is in this passive situation, you can still comfort yourself into enjoyment.
Suddenly thought of Ye Qingmei.
"The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy!"
Fan Xian smiled helplessly, thinking a little that he was not as good as his mother, but at least in some ways he and his mother finally reached a tie - everyone slept with an emperor.
He subconsciously didn't think about it, his experience was much more miserable than his mother's methods, and he patted his numb ass heavily, some feared, and some helpless to leave the secret room of the Supervision Academy.
............ Sitting in the carriage bound for the palace, Fan Xian took the pencil made by Neku, thought carefully for a while, and then wrote a line of words on the white paper.
"I know what you guys did last summer. β
Then he sealed the letter and handed it to Mu Feng'er, asking him to take it to the secret courtyard in the west of the city and hand it over to Wang Qinian.
Fan Xian's henchmen had long been accustomed to Lord Tisi using the secret channels of the Supervision Yuan to write love letters to girls in the north, so Mu Feng'er didn't feel weird.
Fan Xian looked at his departing figure and couldn't help but shake his head, Wang Qinian naturally knew who he was writing this letter to. It's just that this is not a love letter, nor is it written to Begonia alone, but to the families of the three girls.
He was yΔ«n by the other party, and now that he has reacted, he naturally wants to seek some benefits from this, at least the benefits of the gods, the first thing is to go to the letter, write the line, and intimidate the other party.
With the wisdom of the little emperor of Northern Qi, of course, he could understand what he meant.
Fan Xian played with the thin pencil tip with two fingers, then put it in the upper pocket of the lotus clothes, shook his head, and suddenly thought of one thing, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty personally gave the golden osmanthus sachet before the eldest princess went to the country...... Could it be that with her intelligence and thoughtfulness, she would not have guessed what this unique fragrance in the world would have guessed?
His brows furrowed, and he secretly thought, could it be that the female emperor who was once chΕ«n was also a little worried about herself in her heart, and she couldn't bear to hide it for the rest of her life, so she found a way to remind herself?
He felt as if he was thinking too much, sighed, stopped thinking about it, and said secretly in his heart: "I should have guessed that people who are so obsessed with stone records...... It can't be a man. β
ββββββββββββββββββββ the imperial study was already full of people, Fan Xian stood at the bottom with an embarrassed face, as soon as he entered the imperial study, he was scolded by Emperor Qingguo, and naturally there was no honor to sit down.
Some of the civil and military ministers in the room may feel gloating, but they all know that the more ruthless His Majesty scolds, the more he favors Fan Xian, so they don't dare to show their happy feelings on their faces.
Fan Xian knew that he should be scolded, it was a major military matter, but he delayed entering the palace for so long, and let the palace find himself several times, so ignorant of the importance and disregard of state affairs, no wonder the emperor was so angry.
It's just that in Fan Xian's opinion, although the matter he wants to investigate today is a family matter, it is actually a state matter, but this matter must not be talked to anyone, only stuffy in his heart, scolded and silent.
didn't say a word, but he forgot to ask for guilt, so the emperor's god sè didn't get any better, and he snorted coldly and put him in the cold place.
The emperor summoned Fan Xian into the palace today, thinking that he was looking for an opportunity to contact the high-level decision-making place where Qingguo responded to emergencies, with the meaning of teaching and training, but Fan Xian came so late, which naturally made the emperor a little unhappy.
The deliberations had already begun, and it was tentatively decided to let Ye Chong lead the army west for three hundred miles, to suppress the stupid nerves of the Xihu side, and at the same time to let Yan Xiaoyi, the governor of the northern capital, return to the north in advance, so as to resist the arrogance of the Northern Qi generation of male generals Shangshan Tiger.
There were also some specific logistical problems, Fan Xian didn't listen to a word, but he knew that the emperor finally fulfilled the promise he made to himself and drove Yan Xiaoyi away, and Ye Zhong ...... Fan Xian subconsciously looked up, and saw the second military general sitting on the right hand, this military general was not tall, but a little fat, his eyes drooped and there seemed to be no jΔ«ng god, only occasionally glanced at Fan Xian, and his gaze was far-reaching.
This is Ye Ling'er's father, the former garrison of Kyoto, and now the governor of Dingzhou, Ye Chong.
Fan Xian looked at him and smiled gently, and suddenly heard that Eunuch Yao was already reading out the will, and heard how Yunyun was in the seventh year of Qingli, his heart was shocked, and then he remembered that it was past the New Year, and the fragrant story that happened in the small temple...... The time should have been in the summer of the year before, not last year.
............ After the emergency meeting in the imperial study, the emperor left Fan Xian behind, no longer scolded angrily, and just stared at him with his eyes. Fan Xian knew that he had made a mistake today, and it was inconvenient to pretend to be hard again, so he smiled bitterly and asked for the guilt.
The emperor frowned and said, "Didn't you stay in Prince He's mansion before, and where did you go later?"
Fan Xian smiled and responded: "There was a sudden emergency in the courtyard, so I rushed over to deal with it." β
The emperor said unhappily: "What can rush over the border trouble?"
Fan Xianmian replied unchanged: "It's news from the north, the Uesugi Tiger has ordered it to go south, and it has reached a land three hundred miles away from Yanjing...... However, he did not lead his own soldiers. β
The emperor's face was slightly cloudy, and he said: "I see, it is rare for the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty to dare to use the Shangshan Tiger...... It's just that the three hundred pro-soldiers don't dare to pull it out, and it seems that the heart is just like that. β
Fan Xian said secretly, there are many people who have been emperors in this world, but there are really few peers like you who are so confident that they are perverted. The emperor then asked a few more gossips about the gathering with the prince's palace, and in his speech, he seemed to be very satisfied with the actions of the eldest prince.
Fan Xian's heart was slightly cold, knowing that what the second child said was right, although the emperor Lao Tzu picked his sons to fight, he still didn't want his sons to suffer unacceptable losses.
After a few more words, Fan Xian's restless appearance was seen by the emperor and he drove him out.
Fan Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, flashed out of the side corridor of the Taiji Hall, but stood in place in a daze, looking at the burly general in front of him, and secretly became stunned.
