Chapter Twenty-Eight: Drama to Winter

You do this with your mouth, but I do it with my hands. Fan glanced at him and said, "Think about it carefully, if I kill you, will Your Majesty let me pay you for my life." ”

As soon as these words came out, He Zongwei fell silent, and after a while, he took a deep breath, and a blush of shame gradually appeared on his slightly dark face.

Since entering the court, he has had a smooth journey, winning the trust and grace of His Majesty, and the respect of his subordinates and colleagues, but in the face of the little grandfather in front of him, he has been ridiculed and embarrassed.

He is now a minister who walks under the door of the middle school, up and down the government and the opposition, except for Fan Xian, who else dares to speak to him in such a tone, and dares to threaten him with life and death nakedly. But He Zongwei also knew that in the face of Fan Xian, he had no way at all, and he didn't say any nonsense such as saints, just talking about the blood relationship between the other party and His Majesty, which was something that his courtier would never be able to achieve.

He Zongwei just didn't understand, why Lord Xiao Fan had such a strong hostility towards him, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't understand it, if it was the fall of Lin Xiangye back then, but it was controlled by the eldest princess, and He Zongwei was just a small chess piece at that time, and he had not yet entered the court. And it was clear afterwards that these were His Majesty's wills, how could he blame himself for it?

He couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, how did little Fan's hostility towards him arise? Sometimes, when He Zongwei dreamed back in the middle of the night, he would feel that the bed was cold and wet, and he had been in the court, but he knew that Fan Xian had been looking at him coldly behind his back, and it was really uncomfortable to be watched by such a cold minister.

According to the theory, He Zongwei knew that Fan Xian hated him, he should not have any thoughts about Miss Fan. It's just that he always thinks that His Majesty's will trumps everything, and he also wants to take advantage of this family business. Express your heart to Fan Xian, and at the same time be able to ease the relationship between each other, if you really become the brother-in-law of Lord Fan, then you shouldn't have to worry about the cold eyes behind you all the time, right?

But the most important reason why He Zongwei had the courage to catch up with this marriage was because he had always been longing for Fan Ruoruo. This idea began five or six years ago, and it has continued to this day, and it has not weakened a little.

So he has been single and unmarried all these years, just like the son of the world, in fact, the reason why the two men did not marry is exactly the same.

However, he didn't understand Fan Xian after all, and he didn't know the reason why Fan Xian hated him, because he saw this person's fanatical eyes on Ruoruo when he was under Yishiju.

It's really a crime for no reason, and it's pitiful. The little longing in his heart was finally struck into a glass heart by Fan Xian's very direct words today.

......

......

Fan Xian said, "Don't come to the hospital again. ”

He Zongwei's heart was pounding, it was really difficult for him to give up Miss Fan. Although this person's character is average, he is deeply rooted in love. Somewhat infatuated.

"I understand what the little grandfather means. He Zongwei stood up, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Tomorrow, I will enter the palace and face Your Majesty." pushed the marriage. ”

Fan Xian looked at him and shook his head, and said, "The will of the palace has not yet come out, where do you need to push it?" went to cry in front of His Majesty, and said aggrievedly that he was not worthy of Miss Fan, and he would not say a bad word about me. But as soon as Your Majesty saw your appearance, he knew that I was bullying you again. ”

"Whoever I fan idle bully, whoever is popular. That's how it is today. He looked at He Zongwei and laughed at himself and said, "You want to use this incident to make Your Majesty pity your loyalty even more?"

He Zongwei finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, looked at Fan Xian coldly, and said, "What does Grandpa want me to do? This is not good, that is not good, do you have to force a minister to death to be willing." ”

"You said it yourself. Fan Xian looked at him sarcastically, "On the eve of the big day, Scholar Hu personally came to the mansion to make peace for you, and last night, Zeng Wenxiang, the former scholar of Jixian Pavilion, your private teacher back then, with Scholar Pan Ling, also came to advocate for you." Lord He is now in full bloom, three university scholars have come forward to protect the media, and I am a supervisor in my district, where do you dare to persecute you. ”

Hearing this mean sentence that was neither salty nor light, He Zongwei could not suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the little grandfather, what did I do wrong to offend you?"

Fan Xian sneered slightly and said, "I don't want to see you, it's your fault." ”

"Lord Xiao Fan, Zong Wei is His Majesty's courtier. He Zongwei laughed angrily and said coldly: "Even if you are in power, you are just a courtier of Your Majesty. If you threaten the officials of the imperial court on the street and don't take Your Majesty in your eyes, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will come down and take your ownership of the position? ”

Fan Xian was not angry, just stood quietly opposite him and said softly: "Everyone understands this truth. Three years ago, the second prince once said exactly the same thing as you in the tea shop in Baoyue Building. But don't forget that now he is lying in the grave and I am outside. ”

After saying this, Fan Xian left the restaurant, what should be said to He Zongwei, what should be said to this person, he has already done it, as for whether the other party is willing to accept it, it is the other party's problem.

――――――――――――――――――――

When I returned to Fan's Mansion, I saw Ruoruo being surrounded by Wan'er and Ye Ling'er, whispering something with an unnatural expression, and Li Hongcheng, who snatched her back to the mansion, didn't know why he left and was not in the mansion.

Seeing Fan Xian come back, Lin Wan'er looked at him and shook her head helplessly, probably because of her sister-in-law's marriage, which was full of wind and rain in the city, and she felt helpless. And Ye Ling'er just glanced at Fan Xian, but did not rush forward as Fan Xian expected, and asked him, as an elder brother, how could he not even do this little thing.

It seems that love is really gentle...... Fan Xian didn't ask where Wang Shisanlang was, he couldn't help but smile, beckoned to his sister, and the brother and sister entered the No. 2 study.

"Is Hongcheng afraid that I will beat him, so he ran away first?" Fan Xian and his sister sat opposite each other and asked softly.

Fan Ruoruo's face blushed slightly, after all, riding with a young man on the street is indeed an extremely embarrassing thing. It's calm

, she said softly: "There is something in the palace." He went first. ”

Fan Xian nodded secretly in his heart. Meng Lang, who was worried about his sister's anger Hongcheng, moved. But it seems to be okay. In this way, Li Hongcheng's ruffian methods are not necessarily a bad thing.

Fan Ruoruo suddenly came to her senses and looked at Fan Xian in a daze. said: "My brother was there just now?"

Fan Xian was stunned. smiled: "This matter spread quickly, and all over Kyoto knew that the prince had returned to Beijing." I'm robbing my daughter-in-law with Lord He, of course I know. ”

"Hongcheng is also doing his best. Fan Ruoruo's face was slightly angry. "There are still so many patients waiting to be treated in the hospital. ”

"Those things will be talked about later, the sick in the world cannot be broken, and you cannot treat them all day long. Fan Xian looked at his sister. asked solemnly: "I know that He Zongwei often goes to the hospital these days, and I want to ask you a word, what is your attitude towards His Majesty's marriage." ”

Fan Ruoruo didn't think about it. said calmly: "My sister doesn't want to marry yet." ”

In the past few days, He Zongwei has been going to the medical center for non-demonstration sit-ins, and his performance is gentle and elegant enough. Sincerely. If Fan Ruo was not a woman living in a vacuum, of course she knew that she had gossip about the land recently, and she also knew that her brother was worried about this matter, so she would naturally explain it to He Zongwei. It's just that He Zongwei is still unyielding. Giving full play to the spirit of not being afraid of hot dead pigs, and wearing a sincere ground mask, Fan Ruoruo is not good at picking up a broom to drive people away like thinking.

"Good. If you don't want to marry, don't marry. The calmness on Fan Xian's face was not pretended, "You know that my brother seems to be gentle, but in fact he is a bit domineering." I don't like He Zongwei as a person, even if you promise to marry her. I'm going to beat the mandarin ducks too. ”

Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but glared at him, and muttered in a low voice, when he was a child, he still talked about freedom in love, but now he only knows domineering.

But she didn't know when the two of them were young and told ghost stories. Fan Xian, who is more than ten years older than her in real age, has long naturally had the feeling of taking a girl.

If his daughter wants to get married, how can anyone who is a father believe in the nonsense of freedom of love - Qingguo does not. There is no such thing as that world, not in the whole universe.

After a while, Fan Ruoruo fell silent, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, nervous and complex emotions, making her no different from the women in this world. After a long time, she suddenly sighed, looked at Fan Xian and said, "Brother, am I very willful?"

If it is placed in other powerful mansions, or even anywhere in the world, Fan Ruoruo's choice of life, marriage, and love will be very different. She first rejected the marriage request of the Jingwang Mansion, fled Kyoto, studied art under the Kuhe Sect for several years, and now refused the second marriage of His Majesty the Emperor.

Resisting the decree and refusing to marry, in the feudal imperial society, of course, will bring a lot of danger and inconvenience to one's own family, and for the sake of one's own life, the family will be trapped in instability, but I am afraid that everyone will think that this practice is an extremely willful and irresponsible move.

But Fan Xian is everyone in this world, he is the only person in this world, the only one who has seen sexual politics, so he never thinks that his sister's decision needs to be criticized in the slightest.

The woman surnamed Yedi may have seen it many years ago, but she has left after all, so now Fan Xian is the only one standing in the world very strongly, in a way, in support of her sister's willfulness, to reminisce or recall the beautiful world where marriage does not need to be named by the elders, the beautiful world that is at least more equal in some aspects.

"Are you stupid?" Fan Xian's face turned cold, and he said sternly: "I have taught you since I was a child that my happiness is greater than the sky, and there is nothing worth making any sacrifice or concession except for what we are really willing to." The way of loyalty and filial piety is to be taught, but in the face of your own happiness, it is not worth mentioning. ”

"But isn't this a selfish approach?" Fan Ruoruo was not frightened by his brother's cold face, and said with a raised face very seriously: "Because of my local affairs, the mansion is not peaceful, and the whole Kyoto is in an uproar......

Before she finished speaking, Fan Xian had already waved his hand to stop, frowned and said, "You are the girl I brought up, although the time you have been with me is not as long as Sisi's big girls." But you know I have high hopes for you...... I just want you to be different from the average woman in this world. ”

"What is willfulness?" Fan Xian squinted his eyes and said: "Father and grandmother are now in Shanzhou, and I am the only one in the capital who is in charge of you, what are you afraid of if you are willful?" As for selfishness, I am an extremely selfish person, especially in terms of family members, you should know this very well. ”

Fan Ruoruo bowed her head and was speechless. But his eyes grew wet. Only she is in the middle of it. I only knew that since my brother entered Beijing. After worrying about his marriage for a long time, in order to refuse to propose marriage in King Jing's mansion, he even did not hesitate to reach an agreement with the Northern Qi people, and he also wanted to change himself to the Kuhe Sect as an apprentice.

Deceptively simple. In fact, Fan Xian paid too much effort and price for this. Every time she thinks about this, Fan Ruoruo always feels that she is willful. Let my brother worry too much. The heavier the guilt in her heart, the more she could feel her brother's affection for her. The girl's family has all kinds of tastes mixed in her heart, which words can explain clearly.

――――――――――――――――――

A few days later, Fan Xian seemed to have forgotten about the marriage in the palace. It's just that Shen is arranging with Yan Bingyun in the Supervision Yuan on the affairs of Dongyi City, and Xihu's affairs have laid a good foundation, even if Shan Yu Subida and the pseudonym Songzhi Xianlingdi Begonia Duoduo are capable, but the spies in Dingzhou and Qingzhou have been wiped out by the Supervision Yuan. In addition, the grassland fell back into a state of instability due to the violent death of King Zuoxian, and the western part of Qingguo Land could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Today's Supervisory Yuan is a businessman. In fact, it is all handled by Yan Bingyun. Think about it every time. Fan Xian couldn't help but feel lucky for the decision to go to Beijing to rescue Xiao Yan Gongzi back then, his ability lies in assault, duel and judgment of the general situation, and Bingyun is the best candidate for specific planning and execution of the plan.

Without Yan Bingyun's help, Fan Xian would not have had the means to control such a huge Supervision Yuan system.

This has long been proven. After Fan Xian entered Beijing, he made several big trips to the Supervision Yuan

The writer on the Internet. It's all this fluttering white cloth, and the black little boy of the Supervision Yuan. The only time Fan Xian decided to plan on his own was the matter of the Jiaozhou Navy Division's Qing Army. This operation was criticized by Chen Pingping afterwards, and his body was incomplete, and his face was covered with blood.

Therefore, after Fan Xian told Yan Bingyun about His Majesty and his intentions, he no longer worried about Dongyi City, but just took Wang Shisanlang into the palace quietly.

Although Fan Xian and the emperor are still engaged in a cold war because of Ruoruo's marriage, it is a matter of government and politics, and neither father nor son will choose to be angry. Now that the emperor has secretly known about the existence of Wang Shisanlang, Fan Xian will not make big mistakes in these small places.

Regarding the marriage, although the task of fighting in the ring with His Majesty has now been handed over to the Jingwang Mansion, Fan Xian is still watching with concern.

Fan Ruoruo still goes to the hospital every day to take care of the patients, but the prince Hongcheng has a cold face, standing outside the hospital, this prince may have felt great anger at the news of the marriage in the palace, that face is extremely gloomy, and the patients who come and go to the hospital can't help but feel the chill on this nobleman.

Li Hongcheng is now the number one person in the Dingzhou military, and he has rarely returned to Beijing to report on his work once in the past three years, but he willingly stands outside a medical center as a bodyguard. The dignified general came to be the door god, and all parties in Kyoto felt a hint of coolness, and even Scholar Hu stopped talking more nonsense to Fan Xian.

He Zongwei did not give up the idea in his heart because of Fan Xian's intimidation, but he went to the hospital a few times, but was coldly kicked out by Li Hongcheng. The small medical hall has become a wrestling field between ministers and generals, but He Zongwei is a civil minister after all, where can he beat the martial artist pretended to be Hongcheng.

There is a medical center...... It has become a scene in Kyoto.

When Fan Xian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that what Old Master Lu said was right, words are always not as powerful as fists, and he smiled for He Zongwei.

In fact, in these days, He Zongwei once entered the palace once, and probably expressed his intention to refuse to marry. This did not surprise Fan Xian, with He Zongwei's hard work, of course he would not miss such an opportunity to hit Fan Xian, even if Fan Xian had reminded him, he still did not give up.

Sure enough, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor saw He Zongwei's gloomy appearance, he guessed that Fan Xian had secretly inhumanely intimidated his cronies.

Fan Xian just listened expressionlessly, resisting with silence as always. Marriage is just a trivial matter, but His Majesty's intention to take advantage of this matter completely crush his heart defense and make him a foolish and loyal minister who only knows and fears, but it is an arrangement that he absolutely cannot accept.

He was not very afraid of His Majesty the Emperor's displeasure, because this time was different from the past, and now the Supervision Yuan and Inner Treasury in Fan Xian's hands provided the most important order and financial support for the healthy development and maintenance of the Qingguo Imperial Court, even the emperor knew this very well, and knew that he was more and more inseparable from this proud bastard.

It's just that for Emperor Qing, the more he admires Fan Xian, the more he hopes that Fan Xian can reveal all his thoughts to him and obey all his arrangements. Because he always felt that An Zhi, a child, was sometimes a little screwed, his temperament was a little too loose, and he even had a faint feeling of jumping out of his palm to control.

This feeling was not very comfortable for a powerful king, so he wanted Fan Xian to give in.

......

......

Entering the winter moon, Fan Xian still did not give in, he still carried King Jing's Mansion to fight with the palace. The marriage between the two families of He Fan gradually subsided after a lot of uproar, because there was no follow-up will in the palace, and the god of Shizimen was still indifferently looking at all the doctors and patients who came in at the hospital, and those poor poor patients, if there was a surname He, would take a pseudonym and go to the doctor.

The only person in the world who is not afraid of His Majesty the Emperor is probably Prince Jing, after all, he fought with his brother many times when he was a child, even if he didn't win a few battles, but his fist at least tasted the taste of dragon meat, once he got close, he had less fear. What's more, if you have no desire, you are strong, King Jing has never interfered in the affairs of the court in his life, and His Majesty probably always has a little guilt for this only younger brother, so in addition to frowning, it is impossible to come up with more punishments.

However, Li Hongcheng led the army in Dingzhou for three years, took the lead in the soldiers, killed the enemy in blood, and even if he had no merit, he had hard work, and he made it clear that he was going to rob He Zongwei of his daughter-in-law and children, so what could His Majesty the Emperor do?

The first snow fell in Kyoto, Fan Xian sighed at the white mist, stood beside the carriage, and said to Wang Shisanlang beside him: "The things that should be said have already been said, I Daqing can give some pressure on the City Lord's Mansion, but there is nothing I can do about the differences within your Sword Mansion, and you must not want me to interfere." ”

Today, Wang Shisanlang is going to leave Qingguo, return to the sword house of Dongyi City, and accompany his mentor to complete the last journey of his life. Fan Xian deliberately took the time to come to see each other, and the two were isolated in the snow, and there was a conversation without a match, of course, most of the words were said by Fan Xian.

"I'm waiting for you in the Sword House. Wang Shisanlang carried the package on his back, held the green flag tightly in his hand, looked at Fan Xian and smiled gently: "Come early." ”

Fan Xian also laughed, the matter of Dongyi City, after Wang Shisanlang entered the palace, His Majesty finally nodded and gave full authority to himself, and the initiative was finally confirmed to be held in his hands, and he was in a really good mood.

"Thank you. Fan Xian paused slightly, and then said, "I hope I don't have to thank you in the future." ”

Wang Shisanlang was stunned, only then did he understand what he said about the word thank you, shook his head, and walked into the wind and snow.
