Chapter Twenty-Seven: The East Wind Blows
Listening to Fan Xian's words with a cold voice. Lin Wan'er's heart sank. I know that I have been calm and public after returning home. In fact, I was already extremely angry in my heart. She gently placed a bowl of warm tea in front of Fan Xian, and said in a harmonious voice, "Ruoruo is still in the medical hall." Or let her go home first in the next two days. Don't show your head out there. ”
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "My sister now regards practicing medicine as more important than everything, don't bother her about this matter, I'll deal with it myself." If He Zongwei relies on His Majesty's will, he will have to go close. Just as I wanted. ”
Rou Jia's heart turned a thousand times at this time. I just want to go back to the house to see my father, and then let him go into the palace to deal with this matter. got up and was blessed, and hurried out of the house to go home.
After she left, Fan Xian and Wan'er glanced at each other.
"You're too cunning to deliberately say it in front of Roujia. Isn't this forcing Prince Jing to enter the palace to quarrel?"
"The prince hasn't been in the palace for a long time. For the sake of their brothers, I forced the prince to enter the palace. Your Majesty should thank me. Fan Xian shook his head and said, with a hint of annoyance in his words.
Lin Wan'er frowned and said, "But the emperor's uncle obviously knows that it is impossible for you to agree to this marriage." ”
Fan Xian was a little distracted. After sighing, he said: "In the past two years, Your Majesty has really been blue-eyed towards He Zongwei. He sincerely hoped that I could live in peace with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. And I always thought that if I didn't like Hongcheng, then I should always like He Zongwei...... Just...... Son, I didn't have any bad intentions.
There are many examples of good intentions doing bad things. Emperor Ruqing is no exception, Fan Xian can understand the emperor's intentions, but he can't help but contempt for that toad. The three words of the most disdainful genius in history are released.
A cup of tea is cold.
Fan Xian touched his hair. There was no trace of anger on his face: "Your Majesty sent me a cruel word." He wants to protect He Zongwei, I don't want to turn my face with the palace at this time. And He Zongwei has been playing grandson when he touches me in the past two years. I can't find a way to do it. ”
Wan'er said softly: "Your Majesty just hoped that you and Lord He could live in peace in the court, but I didn't expect it. but it touches the scales of thy earth. ”
"I'm not the Son of Heaven. Not a dragon. There is no reverse scale. Fan Xian said: "But for Ruoruo's marriage, I made such a big move back then. Even moved the bitter lotus to Nanqing, if Your Majesty thinks that he can control my life and surroundings, then he is wrong. ”
Fan Xian said sarcastically: "Your Majesty is really optimistic about this marriage. But if I resist to the end, he can't help it. He had no choice but to withdraw his will. It's just that...... The crime of resisting the decree is not light, and who knows what he wants to cut from the Inspectorate or the Inner Treasury. ”
In fact, Fan Xian really misunderstood the emperor's meaning this time. Although His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo is the first person in the world, he is just an ordinary person. After knowing the news of Fan Ruoruo's return to Beijing, the Son of Heaven's heart moved, and naturally thought of He Zongwei, who had not yet been married. He thought that King Jing had been out of play for a long time, so he was naturally willing to let His Royal Highness and the ministers have a good match between them.
He Zongwei is an older young man. Fan Ruoruo is an older young woman, His Majesty the Emperor thought that he was doing a good deed, but he just asked lightly. I want to see if this can be done, and I think An Zhi should be able to understand my heart. Unexpectedly, his reaction was to collide in the imperial study.
The emperor did not cure Fan Xian, who was guilty of roaring and losing his manners in front of the emperor. is already an extrajudicial favor, he can't figure it out, An Zhi you are a loyal minister. He Zongwei is also a great loyal minister. The marriage of two loyal ministers is really a beautiful thing that has been praised through the ages, why are you so angry and gaffe?
Could it be that you kid has something in his heart? No one knows if the emperor will be so gloomy in his heart, but as Lin Wan'er said. Emperor Qing is an extremely powerful king, if Fan Xian can ask for it. Perhaps there is a turning point in this matter. However, Fan Xian confronted him face to face, but he strengthened the emperor's determination.
He does not allow anyone in the world to rebel against His will. Even the most trusted and favored Fan Xian can't do it.
Time. The news of the imminent marriage between the Fan Mansion and the He Mansion spread throughout Kyoto, although the palace had not yet issued a clear decree. But according to people with inside information, the matter is already a foregone conclusion. Immutable.
The civil and military officials were surprised. Thinking about it carefully, this family affair is indeed very beneficial to the imperial court, and His Majesty is indeed a sacred heart. It's just that everyone knows Fan Xian's attitude towards He Zongweidi, and they also know that he will definitely oppose it, but no matter how powerful Fan Xian is, he is just a courtier after all, can he be more powerful than His Majesty?
After hearing that Scholar Hu personally entered Fan's Mansion and persuaded Fan Xian to agree to this family. The rumor spread to the top.
Officials who were rectified by the Supervision Yuan in a miserable manner. People who are intimidated by Fan Xian's power on weekdays. They all began to wait for the day when Miss Fan married into Hefudi, and waited to see the expression of Little Fan when he swallowed flies alive. Get ready to watch the best jokes.
Fan Xian's performance has been too perfect since he entered Beijing. has put pressure on too many people, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see Xiao Fan's gaffe and anger, and no one wants to miss it. So I don't know how many people are secretly waving the flag and shouting for He Zongwei.
However, it was not what everyone expected. Fan Xian didn't do anything. Neither entered the palace again and quarreled with the emperor. He didn't kick open the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and beat He Zongwei violently. Everyone was amazed. Because Fan Xian personally beat He Zongwei in the mansion back then, a black fist story. It is a gossip that has been passed down in Kyoto for a long time. Now Fan Xian is seeing that his sister is about to marry Master He. It's still possible to be so calm. Could it be that Lord Xiao Fan has changed his character?
Within two days, everyone knew the reason why Fan Xian was calm. It turned out that this person was not ready to act for the Manchu Dynasty to show the civil and military forces at all. Instead, he sat calmly on the sidelines, waiting to see other people's jokes, to see the jokes of His Majesty the Emperor.
I haven't entered the palace for two years, I only know that hoeing grass is the prince of Jing, and I am my brother today. Entering the palace late one night, he had a big quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor, and according to the eunuchs in the palace, the quarrel was extremely intense. In the end, King Jing even dropped a blue and white porcelain floor pen wash in the imperial study.
In the end, King Jing left angrily. When the prince was a child, he didn't win a fight against his brother, and it seems that he didn't win a quarrel now.
But then, the next day, Prince Jing went to the Ducha Yuan. Without any scruples about the dignity of the prince, pointing at He Zongwei is a big scolding. He Zongwei's face changed drastically, but he only nodded again and again.
King Jing's status is too noble. Whether it is Taichang Temple. The inner court didn't dare to care about him. Not to mention the yamen of Kyoto Prefecture and Jomon Division, which maintain law and order.
Everyone only remembered at this time, more than three years ago. There seems to be a vague will in the palace that Miss Fan is ready to marry Li Hongcheng, the son of King Jing. So the people who watched the show stopped talking. I'm afraid that King Jing will hit his own gate one day.
This is exactly what it is: Prince Jing made a big fuss in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the little grandfather made a clever move.
And sit in the house, drink tea and listen to the drama for the pleasure of Fan idle talk. King Jing came out. The emperor wants to marry indiscriminately. I can find a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth to come out and treat him.
For this matter. Of course, His Majesty knew very well that Fan Xian was doing it in secret, but he didn't have any good ideas for King Jing's brother, but just asked the inner court to go to the palace to read the will. reprimanded King Jing Haosheng. But it is impossible to come up with any real means to stop the palace from loosening the soil and digging the wall.
Of course, in King Jing's view, his son Li Hongcheng waited for Fan Ruoruo in Dingzhou for more than three years, and the emperor actually asked Miss Fan to marry He Zongwei, which was a real shameless digging of the wall.
Fan Xian calmly watched the progress of this drama in the mansion, as long as the will of the palace did not enter the mansion for a day. He had time to take a look at it, although King Jing didn't ask anything for a long time. But the status is here. Your Majesty must always be afraid of his brother's emotions.
After some time, the situation in Kyoto calmed down a lot. The palace and Fan Mansion Jing Wangfu were still tug-of-war, but He Zongwei himself did not show any attitude. Fan Xian got the first-hand news from the palace. His Majesty had already proposed the marriage to him in person. This Lord He was not shocked, but calmly thanked and expressed his willingness.
Miss Fan's marriage, although it has a great impact, does not affect the operation of the imperial court after all. The problem is behind this marriage, His Majesty's meaning. and the harmonious development between the two courts of the Qingguo court in the future, which is crucial.
There are even more keenly aware of the wrestling between His Majesty and Fan Xian. It's not just a matter of face. It is also an oppression and counter-oppression between monarchs and ministers, in this world, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
His Majesty the Emperor is now testing the east wind. Unexpectedly, he mistakenly sounded the old war drum of King Jing.
It's winter. The cold air seemed to be condensed, but it was loosened by the smell of the stove in the house, mixed with the cold west wind and the warmth of the stove. Staying in Qingzhou to recuperate, Wang Shisanlang and Ye Ling'er finally returned to Kyoto.
Ye Linger committed suicide because of poisoning by the second prince back then. I have never been able to completely let go of my father. So I just sent a letter back to Yefu. lived in Fan's Mansion and was accompanied by Lin Wan'er.
Fan Xian had to go to the Privy Council in person to inform Ye Chong. This is now the first person in the Qingguo military, after hearing the news. He sighed gloomily. He patted Fan Xiandi on the shoulder. No more indications.
Ye Zhong knew that his daughter lived in Fan's Mansion. Naturally, there was no problem, but thinking of Fan Ruoruo's recent marriage, he couldn't help but ask Fan Xian twice.
He was a Privy Councillor. I don't understand why His Majesty must make Fan Xian lose face, and I don't understand why Fan Xian has been resisting - in his opinion. Mr. He has already started the middle school. is worthy of Fan Ruoruo, as long as Fan Xian nods. If there is no reason to make trouble over there, everything will become smooth.
It seems that everyone knows the emperor's persistence, but they all ignore Fan Xian's persistence, and Fan Xian doesn't want to do anything in this life. No one can force him to do it yet. Even the emperor is like a dagger, Fan Xian did not explain to Ye Chong. Just laughed twice. He left the Privy Council, and instead of returning home, he got into a carriage. Drive in the direction of Taixue.
His wife and Ye Ling'er's girl were gossiping in the house, but he was going to see the gossip - Ye Ling'er and Wang Shisanlang had returned to Beijing. Of course, Hongcheng also came back - the broken war drum of King Jing was about to be broken by His Majesty. He had to go out and burn the fire himself.
The carriage stopped when it reached the Dongchuan intersection. Fan Xian went to a restaurant not far from the bookstore and asked for a few side dishes. Eat slowly. While looking in the direction of the bookstore. Opposite the bookstore is a medical center. The name was chosen by Fan Xian himself. The word was written by Shu Qian.
The medical center presided over by Miss Fan took only a short time. It has received great praise throughout Kyoto. She herself has superb medical skills, and the fees are very low, and she doesn't care about the value of the patient, she just queues up to ask for a consultation and grab medicine, and it doesn't take long for her. It won the praise of the common people of Kyoto, and at this time, it was almost dusk, and there was still a long queue in the cold wind at the entrance of the medical center. Lin Wan'er's right-hand man sent from Fan's Mansion was maintaining order outside the hall and distributing hot soup. Every detail is taken care of.
Fan Xian squinted his eyes at that place, and sure enough, he saw the official with a slightly dark face. Isn't it He Zongwei or who is it? Under pressure from the palace, it is impossible for him to beat the other party once he sees him. And he found that He Zongwei was really smart, and he actually knew that whoever spoke was fake, and only Miss Fan's own nod was true.
Recently, after He Zongwei went down to court, he would come to the medical hall to say hello to Fan Ruoruo. And then you will go home. The defense of men and women in Qingguo is not as strict as that of Northern Qi. In addition, if Fan Ruoruo originally practiced medicine on the street, it would be impossible to scruple so much. So He Zongwei met according to the courtesy. No one can stop them. Now this is a well-known news in Kyoto. It's already a good story.
Fan Xian's eyesight is excellent, and he can see clearly that his sister will occasionally say a few words to He Zongwei in addition to the consultation. He was not surprised by this, because as early as five years ago, he knew that his sister and He Zongwei knew each other, and they should have known each other during the Jingwangfu Poetry Club. At that time, Miss Fan was a talented woman in Kyoto, and He Zongwei was a talented woman in Kyoto. The two naturally met.
He sighed inwardly. I think of how everyone in Kyoto has changed over the years. I can't help but feel a little strange.
He Zongwei was still arrogant. His face was as black as charcoal. I just want to pat myself on the back. It also seemed so unnatural, so it was not in Fan Xian's eyes at all, and he didn't expect a few years to pass. This person actually washed his spirits. has become so calm, maybe there is still a bit of pride in his bones. But when it comes to doing things, there is no trace of arrogance. The speed of maturity is truly jaw-dropping.
No wonder this man is under his own deliberate slander. It still won the support of most of the officials in the DPRK and China, as well as the love of the people in the palace.
Fan Xian sat in the restaurant and watched coldly. is to see if this He Zongwei has the ability to wrestle with Emperor Laozi. Surprise Strike. Resolve this impasse.
Right now. As soon as he rode from the other side of the street, Fan Xian put down his wine glass. Squinting and smiling, he thought that his Wonder Soldier had finally arrived.
Li Hongcheng, the son of King Jing, returned to Beijing to report on his work. I just came out of the palace and didn't go back to the palace. The armor on his body is not gone. He didn't even bring a single soldier, so he asked where the infirmary was. Single handed. Came to the outside of the infirmary.
Fan Xian watched from a distance in the restaurant. Seeing Li Hongcheng dismount and greet He Zongwei calmly. I said a few words to Ruoruo, but the distance was too far. I don't know what I said, but I can see it. The younger sister's expression was a little joyful to see the old man, but then, I don't know what Li Hongcheng said, but she argued with Fan Ruoruo.
Fan Xian's heart tightened. Sticking out half of his head, he knew his sister very well about his sister's temperament, and thought to himself, Li Hongcheng, the pig's head, didn't he say something indecent. Offended your sister?
Right now. He Zongwei seemed to step forward and explain a few words. Li Hongcheng didn't look at him at this time. Directly instructed Fan Fu Di Jia Ding to close the door of the medical hall. Then in Fan Ruoruo's slightly angry eyes, he arrested her extremely unreasonably. Bet on the horse!
Gotta get the sound of horses' hooves. The prince of King Jing who first returned to Beijing. Just grabbed Miss Fan and got on the horse. Then drive in the direction of Fanfu.
Leave a street with a jaw off _ there were no glasses at that time.
Looking at this scene, Fan Xian couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The face was very ugly, and I thought that Hongcheng, this kid really wanted it, and a few years ago, he only knew that reading poetry would pretend to be elegant and elegant. Now that he has been fighting in Dingzhou for three years, he can actually play the overlord!
The family members of the Fan Mansion and the servants of the medical hall, as well as the patients waiting to see a doctor, were also dumbfounded, but of course these Fan Mansion family members knew what had happened recently, what had been going on in the Jingwang Mansion recently, and the relationship between the Fan Mansion and the Jingwang Mansion was too good. These bento men didn't see this at all.
And the most dumbfounded, of course, is the Lord He Zongwei who has always maintained his demeanor and bearing. The clinic is closed. The people dispersed. Lord He was single and alone, standing at the door of the hospital and looking at the street in a daze, he didn't dare to go to Fan's Mansion. Because he was afraid that Fan Xian would really beat himself, he could only watch helplessly, this scene looked. It's really shocking.
Fan Xian slowly came back to his senses. regained his calmness, knowing that Li Hongcheng would not mess around. I'm afraid that I will be angry after learning the news on the road, so I will behave so strongly, if I want Fan Xian to choose my brother-in-law, now I have broken off the red fan. Li Hongcheng, of course, is much better than He Zongwei, and when he thought of this, a smile appeared on his cheeks.
"Please come up and sit down. He slowly rested his glass on the table. Mu Feng'er commanded to the ground behind him.
After a while, He Zongwei frowned and went to the restaurant and sat opposite Fan Xian. This is the first time in many years that these two people have met in private, Fan Xian gently turned the wine glass with his fingers, knowing that there was an eyeliner in the palace downstairs, which should be a follower of He Zongwei who was rewarded by His Majesty. But he didn't care much.
"Eat. Fan Xian raised his chopsticks.
Although He Zongwei didn't know why Lord Xiao Fan summoned him here, he was not afraid. Extremely single-mindedly began to eat vegetables, look at this frame. If Fan Xian didn't shout to stop, he wouldn't have dropped his chopsticks.
Look at this scene. Fan Xian felt a little appreciative of this person in his heart, and he could be under his gaze. There are not many people in the world who can still be so natural. Especially this person knows it. I hated him very much.
After finishing the food and drinking, Fan Xian said calmly: "Lord He has come to the hospital to take care of me these days, and I want to thank you as a brother." ”
"The little grandfather is polite. He Zongwei replied with a slight smile.
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and said: "You also watched the previous scene, what is the attitude of King Jingfu, you should know it." ”
He Zongwei lost his mind for a moment and said slowly: "Little grandfather is a good method. ”
"It's not about the means. Fan Xian looked at him and said very directly: "I haven't had the opportunity to sit and talk with you for a long time, today is a rare opportunity, so I will tell you directly, this matter is impossible." You will die of this heart. ”
He Zongwei's slightly dark face turned pale. After a while, he said very sincerely: "Little grandfather, Zong Wei knows ...... self-knowledge"
Fan Xian tilted his head to listen to the other party's words, one ear went in, and the other ear came out.
He Zongwei spoke very sincerely about his admiration for Fan Ruoruo. Explains what has been done over the years. I humbly hope that Fan Xian can give him a chance.
"I don't have any opinions. Fan Xian said: "Now it is the Jingwang Mansion that has a lot of opinions on this matter. ”
"But last time in the palace, it was referred to marrying the prince of Jing. was blocked back by the little grandfather. He Zongwei was not in the slightest. Slightly lowered his eyes, and a persistent light flashed in his eyes.
"The water is flooding. I can stop the fire once. You can block it a second time. That's a bit of a contradiction. But Fan Xianbian said it in front of He Zongwei. is to bully him and dare not use these words to enter the palace to sue himself for the imperial state, "Don't think that if Your Majesty said something to you, you can be delusional." Or rather. Lord He thought he could please Ruoruo. You can bypass my brother?"
"You know I hate you. So don't care about offending me one more time, but I have to remind you. There are also degrees of offense, and I was offended severely. I'll really carry a kitchen knife to your house to look for you. ”
Fan Xian reminded the other party very seriously.
