Chapter 65: Summer Solstice
Yuan Hongdao frowned, and listened to the prime minister's soft voice: "I have been in the court for too long, I don't know how many people I have offended, two sons and one daughter under my knees, I originally expected that Jue'er would be able to become a weapon, but unexpectedly suffered this catastrophe, and now there are only Dabao and Chen'er...... They have to be arranged. β
Yuan Hongdao frowned again: "It's just that such a change seems to have come a little more drasticly." β
Lin Ruofu's eyes suddenly softened: "As a father, you don't need to be too sorry. If you talk about seizing the heir, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, I am afraid that you and I will already die by then, why bother with so many hearts. He then asked, "Are you sure it's the hand of the Sigu Sword?"
Yuan Hongdao nodded: "Yes." β
Lin Ruofu took a deep breath of cold air: "Sometimes I find that the power in my hands can't be exchanged for anything...... But since the Fan family and the Supervision Yuan have been secretly communicating for so many years, I think that if the old man is added, they should not refuse. β
Yuan Hongdao smiled and said: "Fan Shilang has made every effort to promote this marriage according to his relationship with His Majesty, and I think he has long hoped for the boss. β
Lin Ruofu smiled and said, "After a while, I want to see with my own eyes that person named Fan Xian to see if he is worthy of my daughter." β
Yuan Hongdao said again: "The eldest princess is ...... there."
Knowing that the prime minister's second son died unnaturally and had an inescapable relationship with the eldest princess's plan, Yuan Hongdao carefully mentioned her name.
"Li Yunrui asked Wu Bo'an to plan the first assassination, it was a three-win strategy, kill Fan Xian, she can regain the power of the inner library, and say that she can use this as a rope to tie my prime minister's mansion firmly to her. It's just that she didn't expect that Fan Xian was not so easy to kill, and Wu Bo'an, a cheap dog, was ...... with my child He's dead. Lin Ruofu's eyes burst out with two cold glints: "But she still has the most important link, that is, she has calculated His Majesty's thoughts, even if Cheng Jushu and his party can escape from Kyoto, I am afraid that she will also fake my order and let Fang Xiu kill in Cangzhou, so as to kill people in Northern Qi." β
Yuan Hongdao frowned and said, "It turns out that the eldest son guessed that His Majesty wanted to use the sword soldiers. β
Lin Ruofu shook his head: "His Majesty was in the Northern Expedition back then, he didn't compete for all the achievements, and he has always been obsessed, and the eldest princess has now given him such a good excuse, even if His Majesty doesn't like her to make her own opinions, he has to accept her feelings." It's just that the matter of the peace treaty back then was too complicated, and at most this time, His Majesty would seize a few small countries and give Northern Qi a little Yan SΓ¨ to see. β
Yuan Hongdao sighed and said, "The eldest princess is amazingly wise, and it is really difficult to deal with. β
Lin Ruofu slowly closed his eyes and said, "I never thought of dealing with her...... Leave it to the younger generations. β
"Yes, sir. β
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the study, and I don't know who dared to make such a noise late at night, but looking at the expressions of the prime minister and Yuan Hongdao, it was obvious who was outside. The door was pushed open, and a big fat man in his twenties walked in, and a few old mothers and subordinates behind him didn't drag it out, and dared to stand outside the study to ask the prime minister for guilt. Lin Ruofu waved his hand, signaling that he understood, and then looked at the big fat man with a gentle face and said softly: "Dabao, why are you not well-behaved again?"
This big fat man, who is called Dabao, has a wide eyebrow between his eyebrows, and his eyes are a little stunned, and it seems that there is something wrong with brain development. But when he heard Lin Ruofu speak, he immediately quieted down, and said shyly: "Dabao is good, but my brother hasn't come back yet." β
This is Lin Ruofu's eldest son, who had an illness when he was a child, and as a result, he became what he is now, and he has always had an IQ of only three or four years old, so he rarely goes out, and everyone in Kyoto sympathizes with the Prime Minister's suffering, and they don't mention this matter much. Dabao Ping Suri is the closest to Lin Hui, but he hasn't seen his brother for the past two days, so he has become irritable.
Lin Ruofu felt a sorrow in his heart, and felt a pain like a twist, covered his chest, and stabilized it for a long time before he persuaded softly: "Erbao has gone out, and he will come back in a few days, Dabao is good, go to sleep." β
Dabao finally quieted down, with a somewhat clumsy smile on his face, and was led to sleep in the backyard by the old mothers.
After a period of silence, Lin Ruofu said coldly: "I only have one son and one daughter, and Dabao is like this, Brother Yuan, what do you think I should do?"
Yuan Hongdao frowned: "If you think about the eldest prince, it is not a very good idea for Miss Chen to marry Fan Xian, after all, it seems that it is difficult for Fan Gongzi to escape the political turmoil, and it is extremely difficult to stabilize his life in the future, and it is not too convenient to entrust the eldest prince to Miss Chen in the future." β
Lin Ruofu shook his head, and there was a chill in his words: "As long as his surname is Fan, he is destined to not be able to escape these nets, so I would rather he be a ruthless person, so as to protect Chen'er and her eldest brother for the safety of ......."
After saying this, he immediately regained his composure and walked behind the bookcase, opened the veil, looked at the general situation of the world behind the scenes, and began to frown silently, his eyes occasionally swept in the direction of Dongyi City, but more of them stayed in the north of Qingguo, and the intricate small candidate countries between Qingguo and Northern Qi.
After a long time, Lin Ruofu frowned and said: "We have to come up with a strategy immediately, although it may not be a big war, and the two sides may not be in direct contact, but if the northern counties want to transport grain and horses to those small countries, they must be prepared in advance." β
Yuan Hongdao answered, and then listened to the Prime Minister start coughing, coughing so quickly that there seemed to be some water in the corners of his eyes. The prime minister stood in front of the map, frowning and planning, as if he had not lost a biological son today, Yuan Hongdao looked at his back, sighed in his heart, slightly moved and guilty, thinking that although Ruofu was rich and noble in this life, he did not have any comfortable rìzi, it can really be said that the princess was mistaken for life at first sight.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ all of these things happen in one day, and no one knows what the deals or the quarrels mean under these undercurrents. The meeting between Sinanbo Fan Jian and Chen Pingping, the private meeting between the prime minister and the eldest princess, the whole court, the people who know these two things will not exceed Fan Xian's ten fingers.
So Fan Xian didn't know that his future had been arranged on a golden strip.
If the past few months after entering Beijing have been like the darkness before dawn, the thick black ink has covered his facial features, making him feel pressured and unable to relax. Then these rìzi in the back suddenly seemed to be a god with a basin of water and splashed it on his face, which made him feel extremely refreshed and comfortable, and also made him extremely sober.
These days, he has been hypnotizing himself, and the death of his second brother-in-law has nothing to do with him, only in this way can he face Lin Wan'er, who is the most difficult for him to face at this time. Since Lin Wan'er knew that her second brother had died, she was a little depressed, although the two brothers and sisters had not met a few times, but they were connected by blood and bones, and they were a little sad after all. Fan Xian saw these in his eyes, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, although the second uncle was the murderer behind the murder who wanted to kill him-he sometimes felt a little cold-blooded and sick, because if he heard that Fan Sizhen in Kyoto had died when he was in Lanzhou, maybe he would not be sad in the slightest.
Of course, the current situation is different, the Liu family seems to have acquiesced to the current situation, and the Liu family in Kyoto also smelled a little unusual breath and gave the Liu family enough information for reference, so the Liu family was unusually peaceful, and no longer stopped Fan Sizhen from following Fan Xian to wander around in Kyoto.
What reassured Fan Xian the most was that no one seemed to suspect that the death of the second son of the prime minister's family had something to do with him, including the prime minister. In fact, this matter is that he and King Jing are a little worried, when Wu Bo'an and Lin Heng are so hidden, even the Supervision Yuan can't find out for a while, then apart from the four grandmasters in the world, who else can find out? As long as no one knows the relationship between Fan Xian and Wuzhu, no one would think that Fan Xian would have anything to do with Lin Heng's death.
What was even more unexpected to Fan Xian was that after multiple transmissions, he vaguely received the news from the Prime Minister's Mansion that the Prime Minister expressed some kind of Cheng DΓΉ's approval for the marriage in October, just as Fan Xian kept wondering if it was the old man who sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, and was really disheartened, the old JiΔn giant Si Nanbo Fan Jian saw the reason behind this matter before anyone in the government and the opposition: the prime minister and the East Palace or the eldest princess don't know for what reason there is a disagreement, this is Lin Ruofu is looking for a new investment direction, maybe it is a sign that the political focus of the Prime Minister's Mansion has begun to shift to the second princeγ
The two assassinations one after the other shook the sky of Kyoto like two chΕ«n thunders, but after the chΕ«n thunder, there was no rain left, and gradually things faded, but the prime minister seemed to be sad and became a little discouraged, and rarely went to court under the pretext of illness. The crippled Dean Chen didn't go to court much either, just stayed in the courtyard and occasionally issued a few orders. Thinking of this, Fan Xian always wondered why Chen Pingping didn't summon him after returning to Beijing, he didn't know at this time that in the prison, the old cripple had already played voyeurism. What's even more confusing is that Chen Pingping has returned to Beijing, where did Fei T go?
In any case, after this short but tragic confrontation, the various forces in the DPRK and China paid the price of several lives and rebuilt a somewhat fragile balance. Some people accepted the changes they had to accept, such as the change of control of the inner treasury after a few years, and some began to look for another way to protect themselves and their families, such as the prime minister. These changes are undoubtedly extremely beneficial to Fan Xian, at least he doesn't have to worry too much about his personal safety. It was only at this time that he wrote a letter to NΗinΗi, who was far away in Shuzhou, telling the old man that he was doing well in Kyoto, and asked her not to worry too much.
Although it is a nonsense that the days are followed by summer, for Fan Xian, who has finally established himself in Kyoto after a lot of hard work, his life is finally less rainy and more sunny and sunny days, and the happy rìzi seems to be slowly beckoning to him over there.
Summer is coming, will the autumn wedding be far away?
