Why do you have time to come into the palace to see me today?"

The emperor raised his head and glanced at Fan Xian with a smile, his eyes were gentle with a hint of teasing, it seemed that a month had passed since the incident, and His Majesty's mood had calmed down a lot.

Fan Xian's heart was a trace of fear for no reason, and he smiled bitterly and was speechless, although this month's holiday was given by His Majesty's personal decree, but he did not enter the palace for a whole month, and he did not face the saint, and he was indeed a little unreasonable, obviously hearing the unhappiness of Emperor Laozi, he was a little unsure of how to deal with it.

didn't enter the palace because of the coldness and fear in his heart, yes, since he knew that His Majesty the Emperor was the Great Grandmaster, Fan Xian, who had always been bold, finally understood what it was like to be afraid, especially His Majesty's silence and tolerance these days, which made him even more vigilant. If he could, he would rather never enter the palace again and never see the face of Emperor Laozi again.

The gentler and more frightened, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his dry throat, and whispered what he asked for to enter the palace today, sincerely. It's just that he didn't mention the name of the crown prince Li Chengqian, but only talked about the matter and persuaded His Majesty the Emperor to be able to show mercy outside the law when dealing with the treachery.

The victor is always tolerant, and His Majesty, who has died a lot of family members, is becoming more and more lenient, Fan Xian thought so in his heart, and he was as confident and strong as His Majesty, and he should not worry about the problem of the spring breeze blowing again.

However, to his surprise, His Majesty the Emperor's face gradually became gloomy, as if he didn't expect Fan Xian to enter the palace once, what he asked for was this, and a thick chill flashed in his eyes. Fan Xian secretly looked at Emperor Lao Tzu's eyes, and secretly said that it was bad.

But even if it's worse. He still holds his hand at what he is strong at. It's not just what Li Chengqian entrusted before his death. It's also about his own courage. If it weren't for such an event, he would have found a trace of courage in himself. I'm afraid that he won't dare to enter the palace again at all. So he had to persevere.

......

......

It is precisely because of this persistence that today's Diyu study is very lively and terrifying. Eunuch Yao and the little eunuchs on duty outside the imperial study turned pale with fright from the angry scolding sound coming from inside the room, and they didn't know what Lord Xiao Fan had done. It made His Majesty the Emperor so angry.

Everyone listened nervously and fearfully outside the study. That's when a teacup falls to the ground. The sound of shattering bones, and then the sound of Xiao Fan kowtowing. His Majesty's scolding. The sound of two people arguing.

Eunuch Yao's face remained unchanged. But in my heart, the waves are rolling. Master Xiao Fan of the Secret Dao is really bold, and he actually dares to fight His Majesty face to face. I can't help but worry about what will happen after a while. Cautiously stare at the door. I secretly wondered if I should quickly notify the two scholars in the middle school. Now there are so many people dead in this palace today, among the people who are alive. There are only a few people who can be qualified to mediate the dispute between His Majesty and the Duke of Trando.

It didn't take long. The two doors of the imperial study were pushed open with a creak. Fan Xian walked out quickly. There was a look of anger on his face. I didn't even look at the eunuch who bowed his head outside. With a flick of his sleeves, he left the palace. Just out of the palace. Got into the carriage. The look of anger on his face suddenly disappeared. There was a calm between the eyebrows. There is a slight worry.

And rightfully so. His Majesty the Emperor sternly reprimanded Fan Xian. Any emperor. Even those who claim to be the most forgiving. For the enemies who dare to seek the supreme power of the world. There was not the slightest sympathy. Fan Xian should think clearly about this, but he doesn't understand why he still fights for such a game.

Return to Fuchu for a few days. There has been no news from the palace, and there has been no will to reprimand. Fan Xian's heart became more and more uneasy, secretly thinking that Emperor Lao Tzu probably guessed his intentions. So I also played a trick on myself. But he couldn't do anything. I had to use the identity of the Inspectorate. Wrote a few secret notes. Successively handed it to the palace. Trying to provoke the emperor again. Who knows that these secret music are like meat buns and big dogs. When the mud bodhisattva entered the river, there was no echo at all.

In a few days, the palace will discuss how to deal with the rebellion. It's finally settled. Fan Xian was holding the edict in the house. Shocked and surprised. I never thought that after an argument with His Majesty in the imperial study. Your Majesty actually listened to you. Raise the butcher knife in the air. But it fell gently.

Rebel officials in the area where they were arrested. and some unacquitted characters. In total, more than 1,000 people were sentenced to beheading, and those implicated in the case were women and children. But it was basically taken lightly.

It was the rebels who surrendered at the end. His Majesty the Emperor only chose a certain level or higher to kill the officials. And those ordinary soldiers were dispersed. Sent to various borders, fighting for the country as a death row prisoner. Take a meritorious meaning.

In the end, it was estimated that more than 2,000 people died as a result of the rebellion. But this has greatly exceeded Fan Xian's best judgment, especially those family members who should be killed according to Qinglu, most of them have been demoted by one level. It made him feel good for a while.

It's a good thing. More doubts. Why did Your Majesty do this? If it was really because of his own admonition, why did he lose such a temper that day in the imperial study?

......

......

In fact, there is a conflict between His Majesty the Emperor and Xiao Fan in the Imperial Study. It has already shocked the whole of Kyoto. After all, there are many people in the palace, and it is impossible to hide this matter from everyone, so it was long before His Majesty's edict. Most of the local officials. They all know the inside story of this matter.

Officials have their own camps, though. knows that if the crown prince is on the throne. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death. But after all, everyone has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and there is always a sad feeling of being hurt by things, especially those innocent family members who are implicated in this matter, so when they see His Majesty's extremely lenient edict, they all sigh a little.

In particular, the two foremen of the middle school are scholars. He was full of praise for His Majesty's will, and he sang the praises of the saints in his heart, the prince of mercy. This is the foundation for the achievement of the world for all generations, and Zhuang Mohan's disciples and grandchildren deeply believe it.

And why is His Majesty the Emperor so lenient? Of course, it is Lord Xiao Fan who plays the role of the ground. Regardless of personal honor and disgrace, Lord Xiao Fan bravely admonished him face to face in the imperial study, although he did not gamble with his life. But it was also quite risky.

Thinking about this, the Kyoto government and the wild couldn't help but think highly of Fan Xian a few times. I feel that this adult is really worthy of being the successor of the Zhuang family. Acting in a very old-fashioned manner. And those who were lucky enough to escape to their deaths. is even more secretly grateful to Fan Xian. Time. Fan Xiandi cleared his name. It was loud again in Kyoto Castle.

He was back then

It is the idol in the hearts of the world's scholars. It's just because of the identity of the Supervision Institute. Be wary of Lin Xiangye. Only then did he gradually distance himself from Qingliu. But the reputation in the folk area is still quite good, and it has been rendered by this major event. Officials also have great admiration for him.

After all, it is a matter of going up with His Majesty the Emperor. Not everyone dares to do it. Especially when it comes to rebellion. Even the scholars of Shuwu University remained silent.

Fan Xian didn't expect that this matter would bring him so many benefits. Originally, he just wanted to give Li Chengqian back. By the way, provoke the emperor and see if he can give way to Lao Tzu, who is extremely fearful of himself. Be kind. Let yourself go.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor had already seen his thoughts. And he played such a hand, arching Fan Xian again. Even if he wanted to resign, it would be impossible.

Fan Xian had a calm face in the mansion. Look at the daughter. I thought and His Majesty half. I really got a lot of money. But I still can't figure it out. Why did Your Majesty send yourself such a glorious earth with both hands? Come and think about it. He was a little annoyed. He slapped the table and stood up. Gritted his teeth and said, "Even Your Majesty, I dare to enter the palace to see me." Are you still afraid to see him?"

Fan Xiaohua'er's eyes were closed tightly. But I was not scared to cry by this loud noise. But next to Diwan'er and Sisi were startled. I didn't know what he was doing with such a big temper, so he quickly took the child over.

......

......

After the Kyoto Rebellion, the Inspectorate returned to the Inspectorate for the first time. All subordinates bowed respectfully to greet them. The expression was very serious. Through countless events in the past few years, it has been proved that the entire Supervisory Yuan has fully accepted this future dean. Deeply intimidated by its methods.

Fan sat down in the dark room. Wiped his hands with a damp towel. Tear off the black cloth and glance at the palace not far away. Shook his head. Chen Pingping is not there. But he couldn't go to Chen Yuan right away. Summoned several leaders of the Eight Great Places and asked a little about the recent situation. Then he left Yan Bingyun behind.

Hear him ask. Yan Bingyun shook his head. said: "Lord Wang has no news yet. As for Hong Changqing, a few people came back one after another. But he himself disappeared. Gundam took the seven Tiger Guards with him. It should have been all killed by the Sigu Sword on Dadong Mountain. ”

Fan Xiandi's brows furrowed. I felt extremely uncomfortable. According to the theory, Wang Qinian, an old man, was so treacherous, how could he die quietly on Dadong Mountain? Even if the great grandmaster fought a terrible battle, he always had to leave a corpse. The Supervision Yuan knows that Wang Qinian is his first confidant, so he should not miss it. As for Hong Changqing and Gundam, he was not even more sure in his heart. I thought I probably really went.

Think of it. His mood suddenly became gloomy. He didn't stay in the supervision yard, went out and got into a carriage, and went straight out of Kyoto. rushed to Chen Yuan.

Outside the Chen Garden, between the green meadows. The usual murderous mechanism is gone. Fan Xian sat in the carriage and thought. It should be that the Qin family sent the Kyoto garrison to clean it up when they came to clean it up. Waiting for the carriage to stop outside Chen Yuan, Fan Xianxing got out of the carriage. Look at the scene in front of you. I couldn't help but be stunned.

This is still the most gorgeous back then. The world's unique Chen Garden, only to see all the broken walls, dry ponds and broken mountains, weeping poplars and willows. The smoke of the fire is very miserable.

The fire burned down the Chen Garden, leaving a mess behind. However, at this time, there was not much desolation, because several temporary brick and wood houses had already been built in the rear, and thousands of people and craftsmen were already busy on the original site. It looks like a construction site in full swing.

Fan Xianshen walked through the construction site one foot at a time. finally came to the back of Chen Yuan's original site, and found Chen Pingping, who was listening to the play under the service of more than a dozen beautiful maids, this old dog now wears the ground like a big landowner. Sit on a low couch. Squint and enjoy. His feet were covered with blankets, and although it was noisy outside, and the makeshift dwelling was far from comfortable, he was extremely happy to see his expression.

Outside, the sound of stone cutting and bricklaying was extremely loud. Suppressing all the voices of the singing scene here, Fan Xian walked in, frowned and said, "Where can you hear this clearly? You don't have a house in Beijing." Why do you have to stay here? It will take at least three months for Chen Yuan to be completely repaired. Are you going to spend three months here?"

Seeing him walk in, Chen Pingping laughed. Smile wrinkles bloom like chrysanthemums. Each petal is filled with an eerie smell.

Fan Xian was a little furious by this smile. Nor do they speak. Sit down beside him. Picked up the teacup and took a sip. Those who were sticking to Chen Pingping's side like flowers. Of course, I know that the little grandfather must have something serious to say today. is not as affectionate as in the past. He withdrew quietly.

Outside, there is an official from the Supervision Institute to explain. Even the sound of repairing the garden stopped. The ruins of the entire Chen Garden fell into silence.

Chen Pingping glanced at him. Fan Xian was stunned. Leaned over. I fed him a cup in my hand and drank it. Chen Pingping moistened her throat. Only then did he speak: "Kyoto House." It's not easy. It's better to live in this broken garden. ”

It's not easy to live in Kyoto, this is the answer to Fan Xian's previous deliberately natural words. But there seems to be something else hidden in it. Fan Xian suddenly became a little unnatural. I know that this old man knows that he is coming today. There is something to ask the other party for.

Without waiting for Fan Xian to speak, Chen Pingping said to herself: "There are countless beauties in my garden. You know the ground. ”

Fan Xian nodded.

Chen Pingping coughed twice and continued: "I take them in, and they don't have to serve other stinky men. It should be considered blessed. But follow me every day as a lonely old man. I guess I was a little unhappy in my heart. But they are in front of me. I don't dare to reveal it yet. ”

Fan Xian thought to himself. Of course, that's the case. In the whole world, except for His Majesty the Emperor, you are the most ruthless. These teenage lolites. Mature woman in her twenties. How is it manipulated by hormones. I don't dare to complain.

"In the previous dynasty, there was a palace maid who had a grudge for too long. As a result, the emperor was hanged alive. Chen Pingping touched her neck. "I don't want to die like this," he said, "so I'm going to find a way to make the girls in the garden more comfortable." ”

Fan Xian's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed what the old guy wanted to say.

"I'm very lenient with them. Even every time you come to the land. They stare at you like a cucumber. Nor will I punish them. Chen Pingping yawned and said, "And it makes them die the most."

By yes. If they don't want to stay one day, I'll expel her from the garden.

"Loose. is the best way to maintain a garden. Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian and said, "It is also the best way to maintain the safety of a family." So Your Majesty...... It's been so gentle lately. ”

Fan Xian understood. Probably Chen Pingping also used this method to persuade His Majesty the Emperor.

"But I can let them out of the garden as I like. Because there are too many unfortunate beauties in the world. Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian and shook her head. "But Your Majesty will not let you out. for there were only so many sons in his land. And...... Just two died. ”

Lao Tzu stretched out two fingers. looked at Fan Xian with a slight sneer: "You think you stand up for the prince." Standing up for those rebellious ministers can really anger Your Majesty. Can you really get Your Majesty to drive you away?"

"Don't think too pretty. Such a clumsy means. Who can you hide? Your Majesty is scolding you in the imperial study. It's not that you plead for those criminals, but that you ...... At this time, I want to run away. ”

Fan Xian sighed. I thought that I was scared when I looked at His Majesty the Emperor now. How can you continue to stay in Kyoto? He lowered his voice and asked in distress, "Even if Your Majesty sees through my careful thinking. But then why did you play that play? Are they not all in my land?"

"Grace and fame are shackles. Your Majesty is reluctant to let you go. Chen Pingping coughed twice. Suddenly laughed. Looking at Fan Xian's bitter melon-like face very interestingly, "Haven't you thought about it...... Your Majesty is harming himself, but also to fulfill your reputation, for what?"

Fan Xian's heart was cold. I thought of a possibility that I had never thought of. The whole body stiffened. Sit on the edge of the collapse. I shuddered.

Look at him finally figured it out. Chen Pingping sighed and looked through the glass window of the temporary residence to the construction site outside. Said slowly: "So many people died. He finally figured it out. It's not in vain that I've spent so many years of energy. ”

Fan Xian's lips trembled slightly, Huo Ran got up, looked at Chen Pingping and said, "What about the third child?"

"The third ...... He's still young after all. Chen Pingping lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Your Majesty will not establish a prince." It's just that if something happens, he's gone too soon. Choosing you to succeed is, of course, the best choice at the moment. ”

"My surname is Fan...... I have sacrificed to the ancestral land of the Fan family!" Fan Xian's voice became higher and higher in annoyance.

Chen Pingping glanced outside. He frowned and said, "What are you doing with such a loud voice?" Not everything in the world can be reasoned by sound, and whoever has a big fist can be reasoned...... Your Majesty's fist is the biggest, and as for whether your surname Li or your surname Fan will be in the future, it is not a matter of his words. ”

Fan Xian sat down dejectedly. I didn't expect that the emperor had been gentle and generous recently, and there was such a big thing hidden behind him.

"In your majesty's current state, it may be many years before this happens. Maybe when the third child grows up, His Majesty likes him more than you, and this matter will pass away with the wind, anyway, except for Your Majesty, me and you. No one knows. Chen Pingping didn't know what she thought of, her expression was slightly gloomy, and after looking at Fan Xian for a long time, she said, "You haven't entered the palace for a month." It seems that there is some opinion about His Majesty...... Why hide?"

Why did he hide from the emperor, it was because of the fear in his heart, Fan Xian said quietly: "...... I'm afraid. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Pingping looked at him and said slowly: "It's been four years, and you have confirmed your loyalty to Your Majesty, and you have gained a very rare trust, which is in exchange for the price of your almost death several times, and you should enjoy this trust with confidence." ”

Fan Xian was silent, after he entered Beijing from Lanzhou, he did almost die a few times, whether it was the Hanging Temple or the valley, or the Dadong Mountain Incident, no matter from which point of view, His Majesty the Emperor did not have the slightest suspicion about himself, just as the reason why His Majesty trusted Chen Pingping so much was because Chen Pingping had spared his life and saved His Majesty's life several times.

What kind of trust is the most solid? Naturally, it is for His Majesty to sacrifice at his own expense.

"Regardless of the affairs of the side, it can be said that His Majesty's attitude towards you can be said to be ...... It's not bad. If you think about it carefully, Your Majesty has given you a lot of grace in the past few years, and you should be grateful. ”

Fan Xian heard these four words but didn't think deeply, but think about the inner library, think about the Supervision Yuan, think about the lot of power and trust in his hands, and compare with the crown prince and the second prince, Fan Xian knows that the emperor Lao Tzu is definitely not just as simple as making up for the regret of not seeing him for sixteen years. Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been ruthless, not to mention that he is just an illegitimate child, the emperor has enough ways to understand the things of many years ago, but he chose the best path for Fan Xian.

"So I don't understand what you're afraid of, why you refuse to enter the palace, why you try your best to escape. Chen Pingping looked at him and said.

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, no matter how much Your Majesty trusts himself and spoils himself, but he is a generation of kings after all, not to mention the decades of the Chun incident, only to say that his cold-blooded attitude towards the members of the royal family and his incomparably powerful means make him feel extremely frightened. Once His Majesty knows that he has a lot of things to hide from him, or even betray him, he will definitely tear off the relationship between father and son, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and use thunder to oppose him.

Ever since he learned that His Majesty was a great grandmaster, Fan Xian began to worry about one thing - he had sneaked into the palace and stole the key in the Hanguang Palace...... If His Majesty was aware of this at the time, but has been holding back until now, what are you thinking? It doesn't matter if you smuggle with Northern Qi, it doesn't matter if you accept Wang Shisanlang, because confidently the emperor doesn't care about these things at all, and he won't suspect Fan Xian's treason, but he won't allow anyone to hold that box in his hand, because that box can threaten him!

Fan Xian was sure of this, but he wasn't sure if the emperor knew that the box was in his hand...... There was a letter missing from the dark grid under the bed of Hanguang Palace, could it be that the emperor took the land? So as soon as he entered the palace, he was terrified, not knowing where a large number of masters would emerge to kill him, and he was worried that the emperor would make a move and use the realm of the great master to shoot himself into a pulp.

Now that the grace of the land is incomparable, Fan Xian can clearly see the emperor's intentions, but he is still worried and afraid, because he does not dare to say that the emperor is a child without clothes, because Uncle Wuzhu has not returned.
