The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, watched the performances of the courtiers below, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, waved his hand to make Xin Qiwu retreat, and said softly: "Do you think Xin Qiwu is more suitable?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The courtiers bowed down to the ground in unison, and the tail note dragged on for a long time, and they breathed too far to show respect.

Qin Heng, the counselor of the Privy Council who proposed that Fan Xian send an envoy to Northern Qi, glanced at His Majesty with some surprise, and quickly retracted his eyes, at this time, the ministers agreed that Fan Xian was not suitable to be an envoy, and it was estimated that His Majesty would also change his mind.

"I, I have a different opinion from your family. ”

The palace immediately became quiet, only listening to the light voice of Emperor Qingguo echoing in the palace: "The so-called holy is not a weapon, Fan Xian is in front of the palace on that day, the monarchs must also remember clearly, although he is a civil servant, but he also had the courage to slaughter assassins in the streets, such a talent, how can he always be mixed in the quiet yamen of Taichang Temple and Tai Academy." ”

Hearing this, everyone understood that His Majesty the Emperor had already had an idea, but they didn't understand why His Majesty had to let Fan Xian go to Northern Qi.

The emperor glanced at the ministers lightly and continued: "The experience is insufficient, so we need to have more experience. I see Fan Xianxing, so I'll leave this errand to him. ”

If the Son of Heaven says yes, then it will do.

The ministers didn't dare to say much, but Lin Ruozhi and Fan Jian's faces had a little more worry, they would not deliberately hide this, as a human father, it is natural to have this reaction, if you want to pretend to be elated, my emperor is wise. On the contrary, it will make His Majesty and the ministers look down on it.

"Fan Jian. The emperor looked at the Tobe squire and frowned slightly.

"The minister is here. ”

When Fan Jian heard his name, he was slightly shocked and hurried out of the ranks.

The Emperor whispered, "I want your son to take on this errand, do you have any ideas?"

Fan Jian was silent for a while, then woke up immediately, and responded with a smile: "The minister doesn't dare to have ideas." ”

"Don't you dare or don't you have?"

"I don't dare. ”

"What would you think if you dared?"

Outside the palace, the wind and snow were blowing, and the palace was as warm as spring, but because of these few conversations between the monarchs and ministers, it was as awe-inspiring as outside. The officials who were good friends with Fan Jian couldn't help but be secretly anxious. I thought to myself, Lord Sinanbo, why did the palace respond so chaotically today.

After a while, I only heard Fan Jian reply to His Majesty softly: "The minister and the dog have been separated for sixteen years, and now they have only met for a few months, and they will be separated again, so I can't help but feel a little unbearable." ”

The word "unbearable" gently echoed in the palace. I don't know whose ears it will fall into.

The Emperor smiled slightly. knew that the other party was talking to himself, but this partner, who had grown up all the way since he was a child, actually didn't understand his true intention of sending Fan Xian to envoy Northern Qi, it seemed that ...... is still the only one who understands herself best.

"But in a few months, going in the middle of spring and returning in the early autumn, what is unbearable?"

The emperor didn't wait for Fan Jian to speak again. smiled and waved his hand, and announced his will: "Hubu Shangshu is old and sick. He has been recuperating for a long time, and he has announced a message of condolence. Fan Jian, the left waiter of the household department, handed over the post of Shangshu. ”

The courtiers have no objections, Fan Jian has long been in the household department to cover the sky, but he has not been corrected, some of the big officials with bad stomachs can't help but muttered in their hearts, thinking that Fan Shilang just straightened his own Liu family, and this emperor helped him right, if Lord Shilang had known this, would he have straightened the Liu family many years ago?

Of course, all the officials thought in their hearts that this was His Majesty's compensation for the previous envoy Fan Xian to Northern Qi.

Fan Jian knew that it was impossible to return this matter, his face was calm, and he kowtowed to thank him. The emperor turned to Lin Ruofu again, smiled and said, "Prime Minister, Ling Ai is newly married, and I will send Fan Xianzhi out, what do you want to say?"

Prime Minister Lin Ruofu smiled bitterly and saluted, Qingguo's monarchs seemed to be harmonious, but in fact, the monarchy was strict, and no one dared to try to provoke a little, he was a little puzzled by Fan Jian's actions before, at this time, His Majesty asked his head, he naturally didn't dare to say anything, and responded calmly: "Fan Xian should be honed and honed." ”

......

After the court meeting, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a better mood and rode back to the harem. The ministers walked along the straight road to the high palace walls, and congratulated Fan Jian one after another, congratulating him on his appointment to the post of head of the household department, and from then on, he could clearly and honestly grasp the things of Qingguo's contingency and wealth.

Guo Youzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, quipped: "Lord Fan, from now on, the old ladies will have to receive the silver from you, but Buick is too bad." ”

Fan Jian smiled, shook his head and said, "Lord Guo likes to tell naughty jokes. Fan Xian rectified Guo Baokun a few times, but above the court, between these two adults, it seemed that there was no mustard.

Walking out, Lin Ruofu coughed lightly, stepped forward, and the ministers saluted the prime minister, knowing that he must have something to say to his in-laws, so he dispersed. Lin Ruofu said softly: "Lord Fan, why does Your Majesty insist on letting Fan Xian envoy to Northern Qi?"

The two are now in-laws, so naturally there are fewer false tricks, Fan Jian smiled bitterly: "Xia Guan really doesn't know, maybe ...... Do you really want the dog to sharpen and sharpen?" he said this, but he knew in his heart that it must be the damn cripple who did something behind his back, but after thinking about it, Fan Xian temporarily left Beijing, rippled the pull of the prince and the second prince, and waited until the eldest prince led the army back to Beijing, or it was a good choice.

Lin Ruofu seemed to think of this at the same time, but he had a deeper layer of doubts, it seemed that His Majesty seemed to be a little too concerned about his "beloved son-in-law", was it really just because of Chen'er?

The Prime Minister shook his head, smiled and said to his in-laws: "Dabao has been on the mountain recently, and he has been annoying Lord Fan. ”

"Where's that?" Fan Jian said with a smile: "It's all a family." In another month, when the spring flowers are blooming, the mission to the Northern Qi Dynasty will leave Beijing, and I will let Wan'er often return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look. ”

"Yes, these days, Dabao is not in the mansion, and Changjue is deserted in the mansion. Lin Ruofu felt something. sighed, "If Master Fan has free time, you might as well come to my house and walk around." ”

"Xiangye has a life, how dare he disobey?" Fan Jian smiled.

――――――

It was a secluded and uninhabited place again, two carriages, and the two half-old and ageless conspirators who had stood behind Fan Xian for more than ten years, still hiding in their own carriages and talking.

"I said, I don't want him to have anything to do with the Supervision Yuan!" Fan Jian, who had just been promoted to the head of the household department, seemed to have no joy at all in his voice, and was extremely cold.

Chen Pingping, who was in the carriage opposite, hissed and chuckled twice. said: "The envoy to Northern Qi has nothing to do with my broken courtyard." ”

Fan Jian couldn't help but lift the side curtain of the carriage and said coldly: "It's okay, don't think I don't know what you want to do." Sean is now in your hands, you can kill if you want, why bother him to fight for this reputation? What kind of person Sean is, you and I should know it. ”

"I haven't forgotten that you also have some power under the fart in your hands, and I believe that even if there are people from you in the yard. Chen Pingping still smiled lowly, and there seemed to be a very sinister flavor in her laughter.

"If you and I meet in private, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't like it either. As for Sean. It doesn't matter if you can kill him or not, I squeezed his bone marrow for twenty years. There's nothing left. Moreover, the young emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty may not have the same sea mind as our master. Do you dare to use the spy leader of the former Wei, you have to say something else. As for Fan Xian's envoy to Northern Qi this time, it was really the emperor's intention, and Lord Fan also knew that if he let that child stay in the capital and be pulled by the crown prince and the second prince every day, he was afraid that he would cause great trouble in the future. ”

Fan Jian was quiet all of a sudden, knowing that this was a very fatal problem, and Fan Xian must not be allowed to participate in the battle for the inheritance of the royal family. He lowered the side curtains of the car wall, closed his eyes and leaned against the cushions, still unable to rest assured that the child he had taken care of for more than ten years had anything to do with these terrifying institutions of the Supervision Yuan.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Chen Pingping said coldly: "Since Your Majesty has agreed to this arrangement, you can rest assured." ”

No one saw a sneer on the corner of Fan Jian's lips, and he said lightly: "Yan Bingyun, how can you cooperate with him in your courtyard?"

"Naturally, someone took over. ”

"Don't send mediocrity!"

Chen Pingping smiled: "Maybe you should also make some efforts." You must know that last time Dongyi City sent someone into the palace to assassinate the palace maid of the eldest princess, Ye Chong has always suspected that it was done in the courtyard, and the rumor has now spread to Xinyang, so it is a little inconvenient for me here. ”

Fan Jian's heart moved slightly.

――――――

On the top of the mountain, the snow is deep, and there is a white mist rising in the hot springs in the distance, but those red-crowned cranes that keep dancing do not know where they have gone. Fan Xian carefully read the letters sent by his father and Wang Qinian, and then rubbed them with his hands, and then rolled them into powder, and threw them out of the window.

The snow scene outside the window is extremely beautiful, Dabao and Fan Sizhen are building a snowman, a big fat man and a little fat man are arguing non-stop, and only at this time will Fan Sizhen show the normal appearance of some children, and no longer look like a very sour and rotten account man.

Fan Xian smiled slightly, thinking that it was difficult to travel in the snow these days, but the Tangbo Bookstore in the capital still sent people to send the accounts into the mountains, and the seven-leaf shopkeeper was really loyal to his duties. The bookstore's business is now surprisingly good, and several branches in Beijing have also firmly established themselves because of the launch of the "Banxian Zhai Poetry Collection", and several bookstores in the neighboring counties have also begun to pay back their accounts.

Fan Sizhen counted the accounts last night, and after seeing the net entry of 23,000 taels of silver, his eyes were a little red, and he vigorously persuaded himself to hurry up and release the last ten manuscripts of the stone record. Fan Xian wouldn't agree to him, this poem has caused so many troubles, if people know that the stone book is also written by himself, who knows what kind of turmoil will be made.

The eldest princess replied to Xinyang, but there is still her power in the court, the key is that I don't know if it is the crown prince who is angry with her, or the second prince who has never met him?
