Anyone could hear the meaning of these two sentences and the resentment implied in them, Yan Xiaoyi stood on the stone steps and stared at Fan Xian's eyes, as if he wanted to use his gaze to crucify the other party coldly.

But he knew that it was impossible for him to kill Fan Xian in Kyoto, which was a very sad fact. After so many years, he was still uncomfortable to find that even the little white face on the horse in front of him was so cruel to his son and threatened in front of the whole of Kyoto...... No, it's to intimidate himself, and he can't do anything in advance.

Because he is the son of Orion, and the other party is the son of His Majesty.

Yan Xiaoyi is different from the other elders in the military, he is not the kind of family of the Qin and Ye families, nor is he the kind of noble prince of the eldest prince, although he has the eldest princess as a backer, but in fact, his climb in the army depends on his own strength. Today's glory, the lofty status of the governor of the northern capital, are all in the north and in the west and in the south for so many years, and he himself has fought hard.

There was never a single enemy under his arrows, and his army was in front of him from being able to hold on to the division of the three rì, and he made countless feats for the Qingguo court.

That's where we are today.

Therefore, even though His Majesty knew that he had a close relationship with the eldest princess, he still trusted him and was very favored, and even in the past few years, he made him the commander of the forbidden army in the palace.

What is the reason for this qiē? It is because Yan Xiaoyi has a resolute and strong heart.

As a super master on the nine grades, in the entire Qing ** side, only Ye Zhong can compete with him, or those hidden characters of the old Qin family hidden in the depths. Therefore, Yan Xiaoyi has never been afraid of anything in his life, and even occasionally thinks that if his troops are facing a great grandmaster, the great grandmaster ...... Can you escape your own arrows?

How could he be afraid of a young man? Even if it was a young man who seemed to him to have gained great fame just by relying on the legacy of his father and mother. Even if this young man's gaze was so cold and cruel, it was ...... Don't come and provoke me!

His eyes stared at Fan Xian, and the two beams of gaze were like earth-shattering arrows behind his back, as if he was telling Fan Xian that if he wanted to, he could kill you at any time, even if your identity was special, but there were some things that should not be done well.

............ Fan Xian was not afraid to raise his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, the slight stinging pain was dissolved, and he greeted him with a sneer.

He didn't know if Yan Xiaoyi did this ambush in the valley, although the eldest princess had the biggest suspicion in this matter, but there were some doubts that made him unable to get a very firm judgment. But he still had to talk like that. Because Yan Xiaoyi will come to kill himself one day, since this is the case, he doesn't need to think too much.

Regardless of whether Yan Xiaoyi did it or not, Fan Xian knew that he had to do something that shocked the world, and came to tell those who secretly beat his own mind that if he wanted to kill me, he had to weigh whether he could afford these prices!

The 200 good heads in front of the stone lion of the Privy Council are proof of this.

............ The stone steps of the Privy Council seemed to be frozen by a cold air.

Yan Xiaoyi stood proudly on the stone steps, Fan Xian sat upright on the horseback, the eyes of the two people were just level, the murderous aura in their eyes was so uncomfortable, it was the smell of blood that was overflowing all around, and the stench emitted by the skull under the stone lion, it seemed that they were afraid of the eyes of the two of them and avoided them.

Someone coughed softly.

Qin Heng led the horse to the stone steps, apologized to the right deputy envoy of the Privy Council in a low voice, then straightened up, smiled at Yan Xiaoyi and said, "I've seen the Grand Duke." ”

He came very coincidentally and wonderfully, just blocking the gaze confrontation between Fan Xian and Yan Xiaoyi, and alleviating the imminent conflict.

Yan Xiaoyi slowly withdrew his stinging gaze and said calmly: "Hello little marquis, how is the old man's health lately? ”

Qin Heng has already been made a marquis, and the old man Yan Xiaoyi said in his mouth is naturally the old man Qin who has been living in the mansion all along. With Yan Xiaoyi's expedition to the Governor of the Northern Metropolis, in front of the old man of the military pillar Shi Qin, he only has the share of the self-proclaimed last general.

With Qin Heng coming out to ease, Yan Xiaoyi must give this face.

But Fan Xian didn't have to give it, he lowered his head, played with the horse whip in his hand, and said, "You are blocking me and Yan Dadudu." ”

............ Qin Heng was dumbfounded and then stunned, he didn't understand what Fan Xian was thinking, was he going to challenge Yan Xiaoyi at the door of the Privy Council? Although it is well known to the world that Fan Xian is as famous as Haitang, and he is recognized as the number one master in the Qingguo era, but ...... Facing Yan Xiaoyi, no one would be optimistic about him.

What's more, the identities of these two people are different, and this place is also special, how can they fight here?

Qin Heng tilted his head slightly, lowered his voice and said, "You are injured." ”

Fan Xian's facial expression was extremely calm, but Qin Heng's heart began to tremble, everyone in Kyoto was most afraid of this situation after knowing the news of today's ambush.

Everyone was afraid that Fan Xian would go crazy.

If Dean Chen Pingping is an old black dog, Fan Xian is naturally a little black dog, the little black dog was stabbed by someone and went crazy, but he will bite indiscriminately regardless of the enemy and me, what the Manchu Dynasty is afraid of is that Fan Xian is angry, and he makes a big move, shaking the foundation of the entire Qingguo court.

Fan Xian listened to Qin Heng's question, and slowly replied, "I just want to ask some questions." Treat with courtesy, return with virtue, give away with a sword, repay with a sword, and be the governor of Yandadu, is this the truth?"

(Book friends provide it, add it.) ）............ Fan Xian was ready to ask some questions in person, but he didn't have a chance to say them.

Listening to the words of the sword, everyone in the Privy Council thought that Lord Xiao Fan was about to go crazy, and subconsciously prepared to face the battle. Although the Privy Council is dominated by staff officers, and the force is not so strong compared to the Wulu border army of Zhuqingguo, after all, it is where the Qing army has been in for decades.

Yan Xiaoyi entered Beijing, only a hundred personal soldiers could be brought with him, and at this time, these hundred personal soldiers had already been deployed under the side porch of the Privy Council, and looked nervously at the more than 100 officials of the Supervision Yuan in front of the yamen.

The sergeants who returned from the north had a lot of wind and frost on their faces, and they had already been built into an iron army by Yan Xiaoyi, but unlike the two border armies of Qin and Ye, these more than 100 personal soldiers all carried bows and arrows.

The forbidden crossbow in Kyoto is a sign of self-confidence in the martial royal family.

The two sides confronted each other, but Qin Heng, the Kyoto garrison who had been worried, put his mind at ease, if Fan Xian had previously squeezed Yan Xiaoyi with words and invited him to launch a duel, as long as Yan Xiaoyi agreed, even His Majesty would not be able to stop it, then the two sides would definitely be a life-and-death situation.

But the current situation involves the conflict between the Supervision Yuan and the military, and Qin Heng knows that this battle cannot be fought, because there are countless pairs of eyes in Kyoto looking at this place, and it is impossible for either His Majesty or the court official system in charge of government affairs to watch the foundation of Qingguo's domination of the world, just because the head in front of the Privy Council collapsed.

Sure enough, there was a shouting in the distance, and the horses' hooves were slightly chaotic.

A group of janissaries in bright armor galloped in, and the Privy Council was in the Overseer and the Imperial Palace, and the reaction of these Praetorian troops seemed to be a little slower. But some discerning people know that this is the forbidden army deliberately leaving some time to let Fan Xian vent his anger a little.

The forbidden army represented the majesty of the emperor, and no one dared to defy it, at least on the surface.

Therefore, when the Praetorian Army lined up and separated the people of the Supervisory Council from the soldiers of the Privy Council, no one expressed any objection.

What's more, the person who led the troops was the great prince.

The eldest prince was the commander of the expedition to the west back then, and he had a close relationship with the military, and now everyone knows that his relationship with Fan Xian is also quite close.

Seeing that it was him who came to mediate, everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and felt that His Majesty was wise, and this person was really suitable.

The eldest prince took the reins of the horse and came to Fan Xian's side, the worry on his face was hidden, he nodded slightly, and did not say any nonsense, but said: "Father knows about this, you go back to the house to recuperate first." ”

Fan Xian looked at him with a smile, silent, waiting, he was naturally leaving, it was impossible to really kill the Privy Council here, but the people he was waiting for had not yet arrived.

After a while, the three little eunuchs of the Yellow Gate ran over from outside the crowd out of breath, conveyed His Majesty's message, expressed their shock and condolences to the assassination of the plenipotentiary Qincha on Xingjiangnan Road, severely criticized the Kyoto garrison, and released a secret reminder and shock to the Privy Council, and then ordered Xiao Fan to return to the house immediately to recuperate from his injuries, and wait for the imperial court to find out about the matter before making a decision.

At another moment, two ministers who were obviously not so healthy also ran over out of breath, it was Shu Daxue and Hu Daxue, these two excellent ministers of the Chinese book, expressed their comfort to Fan Xian and their incomparable anger against the murderer.

Shu Wu is Fan Xian's old acquaintance, but Fan Xian saw the appearance of Scholar Hu for the first time, and found that he was younger than he imagined, at most more than forty years old.

Fan Xian sat on the horse and was silent for a while, and then said to the eldest prince: "You understand me, this first round of face is enough, I won't go crazy for the time being." ”

The eldest prince nodded and said, "I'll send you." ”

Fan Xian took the reins of the horse, circled on Tianhe Avenue, handed over the horsewhip to his left hand, raised it and pointed directly at the military people on the stone steps of the Privy Council, waved it, and did not say anything more.

The Privy Council military felt that this far away whip seemed to be a blow in their face.

——————————————————————— returning to Fan's mansion, the eldest prince asked about the specific situation in the valley at that time, and after a little silence, he left the mansion. Fan Xian knew that he was in a hurry to return to the palace to meet the emperor's stormy questioning, but he didn't want to remind him too much, because he still had many doubts about this matter.

The palace transferred three imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital to Fan's Mansion, but Fan Xian didn't use them, just let the brothers and sisters in the three places treat their injuries with medicine, and the residual poison should be exhausted in a few days, as for the miserable wound on the back, I don't know how many days it will take.

It was only at this time, lying on the warm bed at home, that Fan Xian's body and mind finally relaxed completely, and suddenly felt a trace of irresistible exhaustion, even though there was still a hot pain behind him, but he still hugged the pillow and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and a maid went out to bring in a bowl of rice porridge warmed with hot water, and the one who had been guarding Fan Xian's bed took the rice porridge, helped Fan Xian sit up, used a spoon, blew carefully, and slowly fed.

Fan Xian took a bite, pursed his lips that were a little dry, looked at his father who was carefully spooning the porridge beside him, and found that he hadn't seen him for a year, his father's gray hair was more, and the wrinkles were deeper, and for some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart for a while.

"Worries you. ”

Fan Jian didn't speak, just fed him a few more mouthfuls before putting the porridge bowl on the table, and then said calmly: "When you were going to enter the Supervision Yuan, I told you that there would definitely be problems after the rì, but ...... Now that the problem has arisen, there is no need to talk about it. ”

Fan Xian was silent for a moment and then said, "There are many things I don't understand. ”

Fan Jianwen said: "Let's hear it." ”

Fan Xian told his father all the questions in his heart beside the wrecked car in the valley, hoping to give himself some reminders from this father who seems to be inconspicuous in the court, but in fact has a solid foundation and sophisticated methods, even His Majesty cannot force him to abdicate.

"Since it is determined that it was the military who did it. Fan Jian said: "Then you can analyze it." In addition to the defense of Kyoto, our Qingguo army has a total of five border soldiers, seven state troops, with the strongest border soldiers, one of the Ye family Dingzhou, one of the Qin family, the Cangzhou side of the border soldiers in Yan Xiaoyi's control, and one on the Nanzhao line. The strength of the state army is basically negligible, but that's the case, in fact, the five-way border soldiers are not so obvious, just like the Ye and Qin families, their protégés are all over the army, and they have a certain influence in all aspects. ”

Fan Xian paused slightly, and then continued: "And like the great prince who conquered the west in previous years, he actually formed a large army from the border soldiers of the five roads, and as soon as the war ended, it returned to all parties. ”

Fan Xian was silent for a while and then said, "This is also a method of His Majesty. ”

"Yes, these generals were promoted to key positions because of the expedition to the west, so if they were the hands and feet of the royal family, they were not the hands and feet of the Ye Qin family, so that none of the five border armies could control it alone. ”

It's amazing, in the face of such a big event as Fan Xian's assassination, the father and son didn't seem to have much sigh and anger, just calmly analyzed the situation.

"And like the defense of Kyoto, within a radius of forty miles outside Beijing, it is the territory of the Kyoto garrison, and the garrison division has jurisdiction over 20,000 people. There is the most powerful forbidden army in Qingguo, 10,000 people, and thirteen city gates, which seem to be inconspicuous, but they are directly under the will of His Majesty to govern the opening and closing of the Kyoto city gates, and they are also important yamen. There are also guards in the palace, although it is customary in our dynasty that the commander of the forbidden army is also in charge of the Ouchi guards, but in fact, except for the palace commander, the commander has really done it, the rest of the time, the Ouchi guards are managed by the father-in-law in the palace. ”

Father-in-law, naturally, is Father-in-law Hong...... Fan Xian suddenly heard a very strange thing from his father's words, except that Gong Dian really managed both the forbidden army and the inner guards?

He raised his head and said in surprise: "Gong Dian...... How can you be so trusted?"

The first time Fan Xian dealt with the defense forces in the palace, that is, the palm that he faced with Gong Dian at the gate of Qing Temple, he clearly knew Gong Dian this person, and he also knew about the Hanging Temple, a large part of the reason was that His Majesty wanted to drive the Ye family's forces out of Kyoto, and wanted Gong Dian to be driven down from the position of the commander of the forbidden army. But...... According to his father, the palace code, or the trust that the Ye family got back then, was really terrible, so why did the emperor push the Ye family to the side of the second prince and the eldest princess?

Fan Xian faintly felt that he seemed to have grasped something important, but he couldn't think about it clearly, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

Fan Jian said softly: "Don't think too complicated, although your majesty is a god, you will not play tricks on the defense of Kyoto...... As for why the Ye family was kicked out, I think...... I can guess a little. ”

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Father, what is the reason?"

Fan Jian laughed, helped him lie down gently, and said slowly: "Don't forget, your mother is also surnamed Ye...... When she first entered Kyoto, she had beaten Ye Chong, and Wuzhu also fought with Ye Liuyun, even if there is nothing between the two of you, Your Majesty is afraid that she will worry about certain things. When the matter of the Hanging Temple, His Majesty did not trust you as much as he does now, but he was ready to reuse you, so he naturally had to prevent certain things. ”

Fan Xian was stunned, and then sighed coldly, as an emperor, his mental skills were really ...... It's just that what does this kind of life mean? It's just that he didn't expect that no matter how powerful his father is, there will be times when he guesses wrong.

"I don't have much affection with the Ye family. Fan Xian said, but he thought of the girl whose eyes were as bright as jewels.

"Just because we don't have it now doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. Fan Jianyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm interested in why His Majesty is so protective of you." ”

Fan Xian was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Father, look at this incident, will it be ...... The emperor arranged it?"

On the outskirts of Kyoto, he mobilized the military to kill people, and even moved the city crossbow, but as a result, as the director of the Supervision Yuan, he was in charge of the world's intelligence, and he was not prepared at all! Every time he thought of this incident, Fan Xian always felt that behind the ambush in the valley, it was definitely not just the madness of the eldest princess's side, but something deeper should be hidden. In his list of suspicions, the emperor is naturally the one who ranks first, and as for the second in place, ...... "is not His Majesty." Fan Jian suddenly said faintly: "It's too late for him to love you and spoil you now, how can he kill you...... Unless...... He's going to die. ”

Fan Xian was silent and asked, "Can you make both the Kyoto Garrison and the Supervision Yuan ineffective at the same time...... Except for His Majesty, who can have this power?

He shook his head. However, Fan Jian smiled and asked, "What should you be guessing, otherwise why didn't you go into your own courtyard when you came back from the Privy Council?"
