Chapter 170: The Second Half of the Father and the Son
Slowly coming, smoothly stopped on the official road, because of the war panic, once spread loess, sprinkled with water, but the Emperor's Majesty's feet still did not hesitate, firmly and steadily walked down the Ming steps, stepping on the land around Kyoto.
The emperor removed his hand from Eunuch Yao's elbow, his calm gaze slowly swept over the four fields, and thousands of courtiers and soldiers knelt on the ground, worshipping him, his expression was indifferent, but there was not much expression in his eyes.
In the earth-shattering sound of the mountain cry, the emperor's gaze narrowed from the distant Kyoto castle, fell closer, swept past Hu Shu and the two scholars, swept past the eldest prince in military uniform, swept over the nervous and slightly happy little son, and finally fell indifferently on Fan Xian's handsome face, and noticed that this kid had a very heavy exhaustion on his face.
The corners of the emperor's lips were slightly upturned, with a hint of joy, as if he liked this beautiful face more and more in his heart, but his brows immediately wrinkled, because he found that Fan Xian had suffered a lot of internal injuries.
As soon as the Ming and Huang dragon robes were unfurled, the emperor stretched out his arms, calmly and domineeringly facing the field in front of him, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live gradually stopped.
If no one dared to look at the emperor, then how could these thousands of people know about the emperor's movements?
From the moment he got out of the car, the emperor's eyes basically fell on Fan Xian's body, Fan Xian felt uncomfortable, he lowered his head, and didn't know how to react, only listening to the sound of the mountain shouting long live, His Majesty's feet gradually came to his pedestrian.
When he walked in front of Fan Xian, the emperor suddenly turned around, didn't look at Fan Xian again, and solemnly helped Shu Wu and Scholar Hu up. He held Old Man Shu's shoulders with both hands, strained slightly, and said in a gentle but firm tone, "The old bachelor has suffered. ”
Shu Wu was shocked, his face was frightened, and Scholar Hu didn't even dare to say it. The emperor smiled and didn't say anything, and then helped up the great prince who had taken the lead in the battle of Kyoto and made great contributions.
For this eldest son who he has never liked very much. The emperor's mood was a little complicated, but his expression was calm.
Then, the emperor pulled Li Chengping up again, gently stroked the top of his youngest son's head with his right hand for a while, and looked at Siye's loyal subordinates without saying a word.
Then he turned back and walked towards the royal car.
Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking that this is the end? It's not that the ceremony of the Son of Heaven returning to Beijing has been completed. Rather, it said...... The first meritorious minister to protect the country, Bo Gong Fan Xian still knelt straight on the ground, why didn't His Majesty say anything at all?
Shu Wu and Scholar Hu glanced at each other, each seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. Fan Xian was also a little confused, not knowing whether he should stand up.
"Get up, if I don't help you, you won't be able to stand up?"
When he was about to board the royal car, the emperor indifferently threw a sentence into the crowd. Although this sentence did not refer to, everyone knew that this sentence was said to Fan Xian. And it seems to be indifferent, but in fact, there is a little closeness inside. As for the other meanings hidden in these words, only Fan Xian could understand that His Majesty had recognized his ability and loyalty, without the need for his support. I can also stand in my own position in this court.
Fan Xian smiled bitterly, stood up, and looked down at the dirt on his lap. According to the theory, His Majesty had not yet boarded the car, and he, as a courtier, could not clean up his appearance, but the impulse that came from nowhere made him dust off his right hand on his lap and brush away a few dusts.
This small action did not attract too many people's attention, but it made the emperor's figure paused slightly, and then everyone heard His Majesty's words.
"Ann get in the car. ”
The ministers began to be dumbfounded again, looking at each other, falling into shock, before His Majesty did not personally help Fan Xian to stand up, so that everyone had some speculation, who knew that then His Majesty actually gave Xiao Fan such an honor, with His Majesty into Beijing, what kind of glory, even the prince of the year has never enjoyed.
The eyes of the smart ministers to Fan Xian became hot, but these ministers seemed too smart, or too smart, and some of them couldn't help but bet on the three princes, because as we all know, the second prince and the second prince had absolutely no good end because of the rebellion, and everyone thought that the future master of Qingguo was the young prince, but look at His Majesty's attitude today......
The reason why these ministers are smart is because they show an inappropriate attitude in an inappropriate place, while Hu Shu, the two scholars, is looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, as if they didn't hear His Majesty's words at all, this is the gap between the best ministers and the ministers.
Fan Xian's mouth was a little bitter, but he couldn't go against the holy decree, walked to the side of the high royal car, walked up and lifted the yellow curtain, and stood in front of His Majesty. Although the royal chariot was tall, it still couldn't make a person stand up straight, so he was forced to keep his head down in front of the emperor, just like everyone else in the world.
"Sit. The emperor seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a slight bow.
Fan Xian sat opposite the emperor, looking at the emperor Lao Tzu, who had not been seen for a month, his mood gradually became complicated, although this king also had a powerful side of Aurora in previous years, but it was far inferior to His Majesty the Emperor today
The emperor was still calm, but it was like a bottomless abyss, containing strength, this feeling made Fan Xian feel a little palpitating, looking at the two sword eyebrows, those calm eyes, involuntarily gave birth to the idea of retreating.
The king's domineering spirit is not presented from his appearance and posture, but from the means and results in the history books. can come back alive from Dadong Mountain, can arrange such an overall situation, such a powerful character, and really deserves to be the first person in the mainland in the past 30 years, Fan Xian understands this fact, and can only accept this fact.
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe looked down at the various urgent recitals presented by the two scholars, ignoring Fan Xian's observation of himself, even if this kind of courtier's observation of the emperor was extremely impolite and taboo.
The imperial driver moved slowly, and the light of the sky outside the window slanted in, shining on the music in the emperor's hand, he lowered his head, frowned at these things, and suddenly said: "Three years." It will take another three years for my Daqing. ”
When he said this, the emperor did not raise his head, as if he was talking to himself. Fan Xian knew what His Majesty meant, after experiencing an internal rebellion, not to mention that Kyoto was seriously damaged, and the government was in chaos, just the internal attack of the military had already caused extremely serious consequences, and the morale of the army was already unstable at this time. In addition, the officials in the area of Dongshan Road are involved in the public, although His Majesty has selected good officials from Jiangnan to take over, but the impact on people's livelihood must be great.
It will take at least one year to gather the morale of the army, and it will take at least one year to eliminate the psychological impact of this great chaos, and it will take at least three years to really prepare for a large-scale war in terms of finance, materials, and people's hearts.
Presumably in the heart of His Majesty. This Northern Expedition to unify the world must be the last Northern Expedition, which has been stopped by the two great masters for more than 20 years, and it will slowly accelerate.
The light from the car window filtered in through the glass lattice, and kept brushing back, sprinkling countless glass flowers on the faces of the father and son. The emperor still lowered his head and said, "Brush off your clothes and hide your name and ...... This is the sentence you used to write. But don't expect me to let you go, it's over, and now it's over. Why are you a young man in such a hurry to leave with your clothes brushed off?"
The emperor's eyes looked at the song, and these words seemed to be unintentional, but Fan Xian's heart was chuckled, and he didn't know how to speak. After brushing his clothes, he didn't think of his subconscious dusting action before the royal car. His Majesty guessed his own thoughts, and he was unusually resolute and ruthless to dispel his fantasies or psychological temptations.
He smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to hide it in the slightest. said directly: "The minister is really not good at this kind of thing like fighting, and he still earns some silver for the court in An'an." ”
Fan Xian had other plans in his heart, so he preemptively said it thoroughly, but His Majesty the Emperor suddenly raised his head, looked at him and said: "Don't think about resigning, if you are still afraid of people's words and cutting power, I will do it." ”
Fan Xian complained bitterly in his heart, the emperor's words forced him into a corner, if he was really forced to stay in Qingguo Kyoto to plan, of course he did not want to be cut off, the Supervision Yuan was the most powerful weapon in his hands, if he was really torn open by His Majesty, what would he do to negotiate terms with this unfathomable emperor?
Until this time, he still didn't know the truth about Dadong Mountain, and he didn't dare to ask in the carriage at this time, but the emperor opened his mouth first and asked about the specific situation of Kyoto these days.
Fan Xian's voice sounded in the carriage, from the time he left Dadong Mountain, to his disguise as an oil merchant and entered Kyoto, to the later plan with the Great Prince, the raid on the palace, and finally the Diye family's move, he spoke in an orderly and clear manner, and deliberately downplayed some details that the emperor must not want to hear.
When Fan Xian prayed, the emperor had already lowered his head again, so he dared to pay careful attention to His Majesty's expression, to his surprise, whether it was the news of the death of the eldest princess or the suicide of the second child, it did not make His Majesty the Emperor's iron-like face tremble in the slightest, but when he reported the Empress Dowager's condition, the emperor raised his head.
"How many days does the Queen Mother have left?"
"I've seen it in the hospital...... The old man was weak and weak, and he had experienced such a big thing, and he was frightened, and he was afraid that he would ......" Fan Xian wanted to speak and stopped, but he had a trace of vicious thoughts about the indifferent emperor in his heart, the queen mother was scared to death by you, what should you do, the filial emperor?
"Tai Hospital?" The emperor's brows furrowed, he looked at him coldly, and said, "What's the use of those wastes, you are in the palace, don't you know the details?"
Fan Xian said slightly: "It is indeed impossible for human beings to return to the sky. ”
......
......
Under the gaze and arch guard of countless people, the emperor's royal car entered Kyoto, along the wide and straight Tianhe Avenue, into the palace, along the road those who had just suffered from the military disaster, forcibly suppressed the sadness or timidity in their hearts, joyfully welcomed the return of His Majesty the Emperor, as if welcoming back the backbone of their own life, it can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor's prestige and prestige among the people of Qing is still like the monarchy itself,
Break.
When he arrived at the main gate of the palace, Fan Xian leaned over and stepped back from the car, glanced at the eldest prince, and shook his head, indicating that His Majesty's mood was okay and had not been affected by the news of Chun's death.
Fan Xian followed the car into the palace and looked at the bright yellow curtain. I couldn't help but think of the previous emperor's expression. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart - although the eldest princess and the second prince were both masterminds of the rebellion. But after all, it is His Majesty's own sister and biological son. And this conspiracy is now apparent. Obviously, His Majesty deliberately created a trap for the other party. But when he learned of the death of his sister's son, the emperor was still so calm. This distraction. This is ...... Cold-blooded. It really made him shudder.
The eldest prince walked over to him. Said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"Do you dare to sit all the way into the palace?" Fan Xian glanced at him. He explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked something in the car. You also know that it is not always convenient to announce those things in public. ”
Ben didn't have to explain anything to the eldest prince. But Fan Xian looked around at the place. Knowing that he followed the royal car into Beijing. What kind of speech consequences will it cause. subconsciously added this sentence. After making up for it, I felt like talking to the boss like this. I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect. Said with a wry smile: "It's too cold in that car." I came down and moved my muscles. ”
The eldest prince laughed and patted him on the shoulder. Didn't say anything. The two brothers were actually smiling at this time. Hold Kyoto. lest the king of a kingdom become a lonely ghost in the land. No doubt. They did a great job. The first credit was made. So many people died. They used so many means. Who knows what the emperor thinks in his heart.
......
......
His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo didn't think about anything. In the process of arranging a sweep of rebel land outside Beijing. He had already learned about the death of Li Yunrui and Li Chengze from the urgent documents sent by Fan Xian, in the carriage. Just from Fan's mouth. I know the specific circumstances of the time and place of the death of these two people.
His face was calm. It's like being a stranger in the dead world. Still looking at the book under the door to present the chapter, but when the royal car entered the palace and Fan Xian got out of the car, His Majesty the Emperor put down the chapter in his hand. Leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Silent without saying a word.
The silence lasted for a long time. The emperor's face gradually revealed a trace of old age and haggardness. However, at this time, the car had stopped at the gate of Handiandi.
He sighed softly. Slowly walked out of the car curtain that was pulled up by Eunuch Yao. As soon as he stepped out of the curtain and looked down at this familiar and unfamiliar underground palace, his face quickly became calm and solemn, and there was no trace of gloom when he was alone in the carriage. Every eyebrow. Every look in his eyes conveys that he is strong and powerful.
――――――――――――――――――
The Queen Mother was dressed in plain white clothes and lay on a warm and soft phoenix bed. The wrinkles on her face were so deep, as if she had been with this palace, and had met too many storms and rains. It has been eroded into this.
The Emperor said a few words to the Imperial Physician, who was kneeling on the ground in fear, and then sat down on the edge of the bed. He put his slender fingers on the queen mother's wrist.
Fan Xian and the other three brothers honestly stood behind the curtain. didn't dare to disturb, but Fan Xiandi was a little faintly nervous in his heart, because it was vaguely visible that the emperor was very skilled in cutting the pulse, and he obviously had some understanding of the medical Tao.
However, he was more confident in Mr. Fei Jie's medicine, and the most important thing was that the pill was ...... at all It's not poison, whether it's too hospital or a local doctor. Or the rest of the wise doctors, presumably they can't find the real reason for the gradual decline of the Queen Mother's vitality, but will directly attribute it to old age and physical decline. Destiny is coming.
The emperor's slender fingers had already left the weak pulse of the queen mother, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, it seems that this great master also knew that he could not drag the queen mother away, and then his brows suddenly wrinkled. His fingers were like the wind, and he pointed at the center of the Queen Mother's eyebrows.
As soon as he pointed out, the taste of the entire Hanguang Temple had changed. Those cold autumn winds were dispelled by a breath of sunshine, and a powerful and dignified breath was transmitted to everyone's hearts.
Fan Xian suddenly felt the breath behind the curtain, his heart shook, and his fingers trembled rapidly, although this breath was not familiar, it was as harmonious as a relative's true qi in his body, but it was just a few levels higher than his realm, faintly it was that he had been longing to pursue and would never be able to find the entry realm!
He Huo Ran raised his head, stared inside through the thin curtain, and a voice in his heart shouted to him, this is the second half of the volume! This is the second half of the volume that he has practiced for 20 years, but has not made any progress at all!
