Chapter 16 See the scenery thoroughly
Today's Baoyue Building has laid a big net all over the world, although all parties know that the world's largest Qinglou Alliance is the property of the Fan family, but there is no way to control it, after all, this is a serious business, no matter which country's laws can't control it. The conditions for Baoyue Building to go out are good, and the girls in the building are polite, and the guests are really happy, the labor and management are harmonious, and there is the power of Fan Xian as a backer, Xia Mingji and China Merchants Money Village as financial support, in just four years, it will extend the tentacles to every place.
Although Baoyuelou's intelligence collection is far from being as professional and powerful as the Supervision Yuan, at least it provides Fan Xian with another source of information.
After all, the Supervision Yuan is the official spy agency of Qingguo, and Fan Xian always has a faint fear in his heart, if a certain Emperor Xi à asks himself to hand over the Supervision Yuan, then his eyesight and hearing will decline a lot - for example, this secret report about the eldest prince confirms the benefits brought by Fan Xian's vigorous support for Baoyue Tower.
Regarding the news on the secret report, the newspaper of the Supervision Yuan, and even the secret report of the Qi Nian team did not mention a word, if it wasn't for the ventilation of the Baoyue Building, Fan Xian didn't know that there was another good scene in Kyoto.
Of course, Fan Xian also knew that this matter could not be blamed on the Supervision Yuan and the Qi Nian team, after all, it involved the face of the royal family and the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, even if the official secret service found a little content, but before it was confirmed, it was supervised by the inner court and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was really impossible to report to himself with white teeth.
But Baoyuelou doesn't care about this, in the organizational structure of Fan Xian's subordinates, Baoyuelou is more like the Imperial Historical Tower, and there are rumors of deliberations - the news that the eldest prince wants to take a side concubine in this secret newspaper is only an occasional rumor in Kyoto.
It may not be without a reason, Fan Xian frowned, thinking about what happened in Kyoto.
If it is just His Royal Highness's concubine, this is just a trivial matter, and there is no need for him to be so nervous, but the key is that the information of Baoyuelou makes it clear that the concubine is completely determined by the palace, and the eldest prince does not know about it in advance, and it is said that the eldest prince has great resistance to this matter, and has already entered the palace and quarreled with His Majesty twice.
Fan Xian had a headache, he knew what kind of person this eldest brother was, although the eldest prince was very knowledgeable, but he was stubborn in the family affairs of the palace that involved the roots, plus he had a harmonious relationship with the eldest princess, how could he agree to marry again in the palace.
And the palace asked him to accept another side concubine, obviously with deeper considerations, and Fan Xian was also very clear about this.
Since the rebellion in Kyoto was really put down, after the emperor regained his love for his eldest son, the first thing he dealt with was not to transfer the eldest prince to the border army as the commander of real power, but to secretly prepare for the eldest prince to accept the side concubine. Therefore, the matter of Concubine Na has actually been secretly going on for a long time, but it has been resisted by the eldest prince, and has not really surfaced.
The eldest princess is the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the honeymoon period between Nanqing and the Northern Qi has ended, and the emperor will never allow his eldest son to be subdued by a Northern Qi woman for the sake of the future war, and in the final Northern Expedition in the future, the eldest prince is obviously the best candidate for the vanguard marshal, and the meaning of the emperor is very clear, let him accept the side concubine first, and then find an opportunity to find a reason to abolish the eldest princess.
The meaning is very clear, but it is a pity that Emperor Qing's sons are a little disobedient, the eldest prince has never been such an obedient person, so he can resist for two years, but from the news of Baoyuelou, it seems that the palace is ready to pick out this matter and directly speak to the main matter.
Fan Xian hugged his knees with a headache, annoyed and ruthless, and had a great opinion of His Royal Highness in his heart, secretly thinking that since His Majesty the Emperor is so fierce, what should you be afraid of for the time being?
The children of the royal family, where do they have the qualifications to be love saints, but the eldest prince and the eldest princess, a couple who have become close to each other, are really a little bit of a trickle, and they look like they are old together, which makes Fan Xian feel great admiration and sigh to himself.
In addition to admiration, what made Fan Xian have a headache was that the information from the Baoyue Tower was vague, but it secretly revealed a news, after the emperor discussed with Concubine Ning, he temporarily held back his anger and prepared to let Fan Xian return to Beijing to persuade His Royal Highness to accept the side concubine.
I have to say that after the rebellion in Kyoto and the death of the second prince, Emperor Qing's attitude towards his only three sons was much gentler than back then.
The emperor's secret decree estimated that it would be a time before it reached Fan Xian, and the news received by Baoyuelou was much faster, Fan Xian held his head, thinking to himself What the hell is going on?
As he had lamented earlier, the world was unpredictable.
............ At this time, it was the morning, and the sky light sprinkled from the east, through the lonely autumn trees in the Qingzhou Military Office, cut into several large pieces of clear light, and the paper window of the room was clear, and a maid passed by the window with a plate, and a shadow was reflected in the window.
The shadow stood quietly beside Fan Xian, looking at him with a sad face, without saying a word. The world's number one assassin was accustomed to standing quietly behind Chen Pingping or Fan Xian, blending in the shadows of buildings or landscapes, and he was accustomed to seeing the constant troubles of the two masters of the Supervision Yuan, but he was still not used to talking to them and giving them advice, because his task was only to kill people, and not to include these pitiful things that used his brain.
After returning from the grassland, the shadow took off the herdsman's clothes and returned to Fan Xian's side, just like in previous years, very quiet, but Fan Xian occasionally found that the world's number one assassin would look at Wang Shisanlang who was recuperating in the courtyard from time to time, and his eyes were a little complicated and a little weird.
"I can't go back to Beijing yet. Fan Xian knew that the shadow was not Yan Bingyun, not Deng Ziyue, and not Wang Qinian, waiting for him to open his mouth was impossible, he rubbed his eyebrows and said: "First, the matter of Xiliang Road is not over yet, and secondly, since there is no news in Beijing, it is a little inappropriate for me to rush back in such a hurry." ”
"It's just the little things. Knowing that Vantis wanted to talk to him, Shadow paused and said, "Don't be too cāo-mindful. ”
Fan Xian shook his head, sighed and said: "It's not a trivial matter, you don't know that these men of the Lao Li family, one is more stubborn than the other, let's just say that Cheng Qian and the second child are stubborn to death, and they refuse to bow to His Majesty." Although His Royal Highness is much more open-minded, but in his bones, he has a good taste for himself, and His Majesty is persecuted to him like this, who knows what kind of scared response he will make. ”
Before the shadow could answer, Fan Xian's face was full of melancholy, and he continued: "Your Majesty, and even everyone in the government and the opposition, seems to firmly believe in one thing, that is, it is not my race, and its heart will be different...... If this were not the case, it would not be because the eldest prince was half of the Dongyi blood, and no one believed that he would inherit the throne. He himself has half of Dongyi blood, and the princess he married is a native of Northern Qi, in the current situation, His Majesty wants him to abolish the concubine, in fact, it has the meaning of protecting him. ”
In the Kyoto counterinsurgency, there were three great heroes, namely Fan Xian, Ye Chong, and the Great Prince, who held the forbidden army in his hand at that time and controlled the key points, but resolutely carried out the so-called edict of the Emperor Xià, and successfully controlled the rebellion within a range acceptable to the national strength of the Qing State. Because of this incident, His Majesty's attitude towards him has also changed greatly, and he is no longer as cold as in previous years.
"To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor has a little guilt towards His Royal Highness. Fan Xian rubbed his brows, which were a little painful, and said softly: "So he wants to make up for the eldest prince." In terms of the great prince's lifelong ambition, the best way to make up for it is, of course, to let him be the vanguard, fight for Nanqingnan and fight in the north, dominate the world, and shine on the battlefield...... His Majesty really decided to use him as a handsome, so he had to abolish the princess. ”
Thinking of this section, he also had a little resentment towards the emperor, the eldest princess is the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it does have some influence on the eldest prince to serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition, but why should he use such an unpopular palace fighting method to solve it? Where is this like the demeanor that a king of a country should have, but like an old guy who is angry with his own son. He suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and doubted: Could it be that Emperor Lao Tzu has not learned a lesson from his previous experience and still maintains a strong suspicion, so he wants to use various means to eliminate these doubts in the bud?
Fan Xian's heart gradually cooled, and he found that he had made a mistake in the past few years, he still underestimated the powerful power of the emperor, as well as the natural suspicion and ruthlessness of the emperor.
It is difficult to be a son, it is even more difficult to be the son of the emperor, and it is even more difficult to be the son of the emperor of Qingguo. Fan Xian exhaled a breath of turbidity, knowing that after returning to Beijing, he was only afraid that he would be caught between His Majesty and the eldest prince, so it was better not to think about this problem first.
But he was a little curious, and he didn't know whose daughter was the daughter of the side concubine that His Majesty the Emperor pointed out to His Royal Highness, and which prince and minister was so afraid of death that he dared to send his daughter to the mouth of the tigress of the eldest princess, the male tiger of the eldest prince, and the old tigress of Concubine Ning in the palace.
After the rebellion in Kyoto, thinking of the merits of Ning Cairen, and taking into account the face of the eldest prince, His Majesty the Emperor finally promoted her to the position, and after more than 20 years of delay, he finally named him a concubine. It's just that this Dongyi female slave back then, after becoming a noble concubine, still hasn't changed her pungent love back then, and the tiger is full of it.
The eldest prince's family, that is the Tiger Forest.
Anyway, it can't be Ruoruo, Fan Xian is still confident in this, the emperor is now full of trust and pampering for himself, and he knows that he did not hesitate to beat Hongcheng into a generation of yín people for Ruoruo's marriage, and he will not use this as a teasing himself, because of a small loss.
Fan Xian stood up, pushed the door and walked out, greeted the autumn sè who was full of courtyards, and no longer thought about the troubles in Kyoto. At this time, it was late autumn, and the military office was full of clean alienation, the sky was extremely high, and the clouds were extremely light, which made people feel open-minded at a glance.
Qingzhou City is close to Xihu, quite a grassland style, perhaps only in this kind of place, can people raise a cheerful and bright mood, such as the heterogeneous prince in the royal family, such as the heterogeneous Ye Ling'er in the nobles.
Fan Xian looked at the girl's house in the courtyard with a smile, thinking that the eldest princess was in a difficult situation now, but the second princess seemed to have gradually gotten rid of the death of the second princess, and there were always some good things happening in the world.
............ Wang Shisanlang's body recovered extremely quickly, and now he can wander around in the Qingzhou Military Office in a wheelchair. Because of Ye Ling'er's words, Fan Xian didn't bother to do those useless cover-up efforts, called a few girls to be in charge of the cart, and sent a few subordinates from the six departments to follow to protect his safety.
In these dozen years, Fan Xian was busy liaising with the direction of Dingzhou, leading the counteroffensive of the entire Xiliang Road, and he had to make private transactions with the grassland side, so he was very busy, so he didn't pay much attention to Wang Shisanlang's movements, but his eyes were not blind, and he also saw this lonely and lonely Qingzhou military office, because Wang Shisanlang's awakening, some changes gradually took place, and in the autumn garden, there were occasional chūn intentions.
When Wang Shisanlang sat in a wheelchair and took occasional breaks in the garden, not far from him, there would be a girl sitting at home, doing side things, such as embroidery, such as pretending to be a goose to watch the scenery.
And at that time, Wang Shisanlang will become a goose, looking at the goose who is looking at the scenery in a daze.
This pair of young men and women would greet each other when they collided head-on, and they didn't say anything gossiping, but they just played the role of horn sè stupidly, straight yù bent to the sky, and feared that the anthurium would be lightly pulled, disturbing the unintentional Qingbo.
Fan Xian is the little ancestor of the Supervision Yuan, and Ye Ling'er is the little ancestor of Qingzhou City, she gave an order, and she no longer went out of the city to intercept the Hu people who rushed out of the grassland to beat the grass valley like in the past year, but stayed in the military office honestly, and all the old subordinates in the military office were driven out, leaving only the servants and maids.
So in the small garden of Qingzhou Military Office, there is now an extra scenery, which is the appearance of the two stupid geese that Fan Xian secretly laughed in his heart. If you use more beautiful words, it is the sentence of what scenery, what kind of scenery people, what kind of people look at the scenery.
For two people who admire each other, each other is each other's scenery, right?
............ What kind of woman is Ye Ling'er, Fan Xian, who is her master, of course knows it, and sometimes asks herself, if she is a woman, I am afraid that she will also be shocked by the thirty-eight knife marks on Wang Shisanlang's front, and her heart is unforgettable, not to mention that Shisanlang is a silent, gentle and handsome person, such a character, how can she not make Ye Ling'er, who was born in the army, tempted.
Although Ye Ling'er's identity is a little troublesome, Fan Xian is not worried about this, the emperor Xià secretly made a decree two years ago, allowing Ye Ling'er to remarry, and she chooses her husband by herself, this is a great grace, as long as she likes the person, she is afraid that the Nanqing court will rob her.
The problem now lies in the identity of Wang Shisanlang, although he secretly does things for the Supervision Yuan, and His Majesty the Emperor also secretly knows about it, but after all, he is the closed disciple of Sigu Jian, and he is the thirteenth disciple of Dongyi City Sword House, Ye Ling'er used to be the second princess, but she wants to marry the master of Dongyi City, and she doesn't know that she can't pass this level in the palace.
Of course, if Dongyi City can completely fall to Qingguo under his own auspices, then these obstacles will not exist, and Fan Xian decided to do his best in this matter, which can be regarded as making up for this poor girl's family for the emperor and Ye Chong.
There's just a catch.
Fan Xian looked at the two people in the park with a smile, touched his nose and thought that these two people were still in a wonderful state at the moment, and someone had to expose them, and the most important thing was that it was not surprising that Ye Linger liked Wang Shisanlang, what did Wang Shisanlang's heart think? No matter how noble Ye Linger's status is, after all, she is also a real little widow.
He knew why Wang Shisanlang was attracted by Ye Ling'er's silhouette, because that silhouette was very lonely, but Fan Xian knew that the real Ye Ling'er was not like this.
Especially...... Embroidery.
Fan Xian shuddered, Ye Ling'er actually embroidered in front of Wang Shisanlang and pretended to be cowardly, if this matter was reported back to Kyoto and reached Wan'er's ears, I was afraid that it would make my wife faint with laughter.
He decided to sue Wang Shisanlang for a real Ye Ling'er, lest the young friend he admired so much find out that his life turned out to be a great misunderstanding after marriage.
Just as Fan Xian walked down the stone steps, about to disturb the two young men and women who had "no one in their eyes", the shadow behind the door said a word softly, and he suddenly stopped.
These days, the shadow has been carefully hiding his whereabouts, so as not to be sent something by Wang Shisanlang. Fan Xian knew the complicated relationship between the shadow and the sword house, and he also knew the true identity of the shadow, and he must not let anyone know. Sigu Sword and Shadow have a common hatred, at this time in the autumn garden looking at Sigu Sword's favorite young apprentice, the shadow of the mood is not as happy as the men and women in the garden.
After a while, Fan Xian said, "We will go again next year, he will not die so early." ”
