Fan Xian didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly stood up and saluted, and then punched the surroundings, looking at these diplomatic officials in Qingguo with a gentle face, and said very sincerely: "Xia Guan has not been in Taichang Temple for a few days, and he has not even sorted out the music of the imperial court. The palace appointed Xia Guan as the deputy envoy, and I thought that I also wanted the thieves of the Northern Qi Dynasty to see that the people of Qingguo could not be killed casually, but let the Xia Guan be a memorial arch, not necessarily to me really do anything in the negotiation process. He smiled and continued: "The lower officials don't know anything about the exchanges between the countries, so I just ask you not to hold you back, and please give me advice." ”

After all, he is not a person who has lived in officialdom for a long time, so Fan Xian's words are inevitably too much and reckless. But such a single-minded statement made these officials of Honglu Temple feel very comfortable. Originally, when they learned that Fan Shilang's son was going to join the negotiation process, these officials, who claimed to be the most professional diplomats in Qingguo, would always feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and they felt that a group of crows who were good at eating carrion suddenly flew in a vulture that wanted to grab bones.

Since Fan Gongzi made it clear that he was not here to compete for merit, the people up and down Honglu Temple were naturally much happier, and Xin Qiwu also nodded with a little appreciation. Of course, everyone knew that if he succeeded in demarcating the border this time, asked for a large amount of tribute silver, and rewarded for meritorious deeds, this son of a powerful man who had obviously come to gild would definitely get his fair share.

After the meeting, Xin Qiwu led Fan Xian to the small single room prepared for him, pointed to the documents that had been filled with a large cabinet and said: "The relevant information is here, the most important thing in this negotiation is that the Northern Qi side wants to send some silver to get back a large piece of land, and this land is now occupied by us." And Dongyi City didn't have any requirements, just wanted to end the last two assassination incidents, and one Chun was the Niu Street Incident related to Fan Gongzi. The two female assassins had been proven to be the female apprentices of the two apprentices of the Four Gu Sword. The second Tsubaki is the matter of the manor under the Cangshan Mountain, but ......"

He glanced at Fan Xian. After a little consideration, he continued to read and said: "You also know that the matter is a bit complicated, so it is impossible for the imperial court to come up with too favorable evidence in this regard." ”

Fan Xian nodded, sniffing the stale smell of the room and began to have a headache, could it be that he would have to deal with these things in the next ten days? As if he saw what he meant, Xin Shaoqing smiled and said: "If Lord Fan is unwilling to sit on duty, he can also take it home, but the document marked red on the secret level is definitely not allowed to be taken out of the yamen." ”

Fan Xian was overjoyed. Although he knew that the other party didn't want to see him here as an eyesore, he also said gratefully: "To be honest, Xia Guan is still confused when he comes here today, if the adults are not too lazy, the small ones are willing to sleep at home every day." ”

Anyone who dares to make such a joke with Shaoqing of Sipin Honglu Temple, Fan Xian is estimated to be a rare outlier in Qingguo. Xin Qiwu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately burst out laughing. Immediately, he lowered his voice again and said, "Master Fan, the East Palace has great expectations for you. ”

Fan Xian smiled slightly, knowing the identity of the other party, how dare he be vague, and quickly responded: "Please rest assured, the ministers understand." The father of the family used to teach the children of the family. As a courtier, abide by the way of a courtier. ”

Hearing this reply, Xin Qiwu, who was the prince's confidant, nodded with satisfaction. said: "Lord Sinanbo is dedicated to the country, and the officials have always admired him. ”

The two of them said something that was not salty or light, and Xin Shaoqing went out. Fan Xian looked at his back as he left, and gradually narrowed his eyes. Father Fan Jian did say that as long as the prince is in power, the Fan family is naturally loyal to the prince, but he doesn't even believe it, and the other party, an obvious person from the East Palace, naturally won't simply believe it.

Ren Fan Xian was the deputy envoy of the negotiation, but the East Palace made a cautious attempt to see if it was possible for the Fan family to move a little bit to the side of the prince's chair, even if it was only a little bit.

――――――

In the next ten days, Fan Xian really locked himself in the house and slept every day, of course, for him, sleeping itself is a necessary process of cultivation. As for official affairs, after he got some information back, he handed it over to Wang Qinian and asked him to make the decision to handle it, so as to come up with a very appropriate negotiation plan.

Fan Xian actually had a mirror in his heart, Wang Qinian would secretly report to the old cripple in the Supervision Yuan, in this case, this kind of complicated and boring work was handed over to Wang Qinian, whether it was for the sake of his mother's face or his father's face, he could not say that he would lose face in the government and the opposition, of course he would handle it properly.

He has always been unceremonious when it comes to the use of available resources.

Sure enough, a few days later, Wang Qinian came to the hut agreed upon by both parties with a haggard face and handed over a thick clip. Fan Xian opened it curiously, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he saw that it was "divided into two parts, one is the internal reference materials that are only allowed to be viewed by the senior officials of Honglu Temple, and the other is the file of the prepared negotiations with the Northern Qi."

The internal situation of the Northern Qi Dynasty is clearly analyzed in the materials, the intrigue between the young emperor and the empress dowager, the bitter lotus national teacher is a pacifist, and so on. In the information, please ask Chu Chu, the queen mother's younger brother Ning Guohou was attacked by the Northern Qi Wenchen because of the defeat this time, so the young emperor didn't care how much money he had to pay or how much land he had to cut, as long as the people were resentful, he could take this opportunity to cut off a lot of forces in the Hou Party. The Queen Mother, because she was anxious to calm down the incident, had a free hand to rectify the government, and her instructions for this negotiation were also based on forbearance.

Of course, these things hidden in the shadows cannot be seen by the diplomatic officials of Qingguo. Only the huge forces in the secret of the Supervision Yuan, through the secret spies in Northern Qi, have found out one small matter after another, and then combined and analyzed them, can they come to such a clear conclusion.

"Wonderful. Fan Xian sighed: "With this information in hand, the officials of Honglu Temple are going to laugh." He paused and asked curiously, "How reliable are these situations?"

The corners of Wang Qinian's eyes drooped, and it seemed that he hadn't slept well in the past few days: "The reliability is very high, Yan Bingyun has opened up the situation in Northern Qi at present, and the entire intelligence network is laid out very reasonably, and there should be no problem with mutual reference." ”

Fan Xian couldn't help but have a little respect for the young man named Yan Bingyun, for the sake of the country, he was content to be a mouse hidden in the shadows, and he did it for several years, as the son of a high-ranking official in the imperial court, it was indeed not easy. How did he know that the reason why Yan Bingyun stayed in Northern Qi pitifully was entirely because of the attempted assassination when he was twelve years old. If Fan Xian knew about this, he didn't know if he would feel guilty or laugh.

"Wang Qinian, I didn't expect you to be good at intelligence analysis in addition to tracking. Fan Xian knew where the dossier in front of him came from, but he didn't break it.

Wang Qinian couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he had to return the salute cowardly, and he didn't dare to take credit.

"Yes, I will go to Honglu Temple tomorrow and discuss with Lord Shaoqing. Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked curiously, "What else is going on?"

Wang Qinian was embarrassed and said: "My lord, this information cannot be handed over to Honglu Temple. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... The secrets involved in it are all of the highest grade, and the entire Honglu Temple, including the Honglu Temple, is not qualified to touch it. ”

Fan Xian patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Then what do you say? Just let the courtyard go through normal channels and give it directly to Honglu Temple." ”

Wang Qinian sighed, thinking to himself that if it weren't for the fact that the dean was bent on you making an amazing move in this negotiation and paving the way for your future career, how could you order the entire six places to work overnight to write such a dossier. This dossier seems ordinary, but in fact, it condenses the efforts of more than a dozen intelligence analysis experts in the Supervision Yuan, you want to give it to Honglu Temple casually, and the adults in the courtyard are afraid that they will jump up from the wheelchair in anger.

――――――

At the end of summer, the lotus is still showing signs of weakness, and the heat is still there, and the pedestrians and black dogs on the streets of Kyoto are a little unprepared by the weather. On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, it was the auspicious day, the Northern Qi mission and the Dongyi mission, at the same time arrived at the last official post in the northwest of Kyoto, the Qingguo Emperor issued a personal decree, who two missions borrowed the emperor's palace, and the three parties of the protocol officials disturbed for several days, and finally drew up the schedule and arrangements for entering Beijing.

The people of Kyoto were refreshed, and they felt that in their ordinary and boring lives, there was suddenly an extra autumn rain. In their minds, the envoys of these two states did not come to negotiate, but to hand over the credentials of surrender.

As the deputy envoy of the negotiations, Fan Xian was naturally also in the procession to greet the mission, and waited for the officials of the two countries from the west gate of Kyoto, and arranged for them to live in the Kyoto official group. The face of the Northern Qi mission is obviously not very good-looking, after all, they are the losers in this battle that commanded the candidate countries, and the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty have also been captured a lot, and the most important thing is that a lot of land has been occupied.

"Lord Shaoqing, who is this?" The highest-ranking member of the Northern Qi mission was the younger brother of the empress of the dynasty, the Marquis of Changning. He looked at the beautiful boy condescendingly, and was extremely annoyed in his heart, Qingguo didn't attach much importance to himself, and the envoy who was equal to him was actually just a Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but he actually let such a young man serve as a deputy envoy, which could not but be said to be a kind of contempt for himself.

"Xiaguan Fan Xian, meet the Hou Ye. ”

Fan Xian had a clear smile on his face, looking at the visitors from the enemy country, and the intelligence of the Supervision Institute in his arms made it clear that this master was an ornament, and the generation of Zhuang Mohan, who was arranged by the palace people to live in another courtyard first, was the real character.
