The crown prince and Fan Xian are brothers by blood, and there is no irresolvable hatred between the two, those are the affairs of the elders after all. The prince also expressed his willingness to reconcile to Fan Xian, but Fan Xian couldn't believe it, the most important thing is that Fan Xian knew that the prince didn't have enough strength and a strong mind to defeat him.

Therefore, Fan Xian's actions in the past six months, the biggest target is actually the eldest princess, I didn't expect that the emperor would just imprison her in the end, but he would abolish the prince in advance, this fact made Fan Xian ponder for a long time, and always felt that there were some problems in the order, with the emperor Lao Tzu in the world gladiatorial arena for many years, he should not make this kind of mistake.

Regardless of whether there is a mistake in the order, the matter of abolishing the reserve has been vigorously unfolded in the government and opposition of Qingguo after all. The word vigorous may not be used accurately, the so-called wind rises at the end of Ping, and any major event in history, at the beginning, may be just some inconspicuous rumors in the officialdom.

A few months ago, there was a fire in the East Palace, and the prince went to the south, which was already the rumor.

And when the eight places of the Supervision Yuan threw out some old stories, Taili Temple suddenly became interested in re-investigating the matter of the winter jacket of the Northern Army that year, and the household department began to cooperate with the study of where the silver went...... The wind grew louder.

At the time of Chūn and Jingming last year, in order to crack down on Fan Xian, the two factions of the crown prince and the second prince investigated the household department, and finally found the biggest loophole was the problem of the winter jacket of the Northern Army, but the prince did not expect that this matter would be found on his head in the end. Fortunately, His Majesty later withdrew, and the prince avoided a disgraceful end.

But now that the court has brought up this old matter again, the courtiers up and down the court have smelled a different smell, and the prince has long been left without too many loyal corners, who is the prince ready to throw out to atone for his sins?

Even at this time, no minister still thought that His Majesty would directly let the prince bear the responsibility for this crime, so when the Dali Temple and the Supervision Yuan put Xin Qiwu Suona in prison, they all thought that this matter was over for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Xin Qiwu was imprisoned for only three days, and then he was released again, this henchman of the East Palace, a close minister of the prince, because of his good relationship with Fan Xian, did not suffer any torture in the supervision court, and did not give the prince out.

Rao is like this, the Supervision Yuan and Dali Temple still bit the prince, and presented the secret music into the imperial study, and in a meeting of the imperial study, it was presented in front of the eyes of the people in the middle of the door and the six books of the Qingguo power center.

Shu Wu and Hu scholars interceded for the crown prince, and even made guarantees, so that the emperor dissipated his disguised anger. But after the dispersal of the dynasty, when the two scholars got together again to drink, they couldn't help but sigh.

His Majesty is really determined to abolish the prince, but the two of them, as scholars of the middle school, must protect the prince, which has nothing to do with the faction, but the attitude that they must show as pure ministers, the prince is a prince for a day, and they will treat it as half an emperor, and the emperor will not be harsh on this.

The most important thing is that the ministers of the DPRK and China, represented by Hu Shu and the others, all think that the crown prince may have been ridiculous and confused back then, but in the past two years, he has really benefited a lot, in order to avoid the big shocks caused by the struggle for imperial power between the DPRK and the central government, and in order to prevent Fan Xian, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, from participating in these things, they really hope that His Majesty Xià can settle down and set the distant future of Qingguo in the future.

No matter from which point of view, today's crown prince is the best choice for Qingguo, which not only avoids Qingguo's internal friction, but also prevents the Supervision Yuan...... The dominance of the young man.

Emperor Qingguo is not a faint monarch, knowing the benefits of checks and balances between monarchs and ministers to Qingguo, and also expected that the matter of abolishing the reserve will definitely cause great opposition, so he chose to remain silent for the time being, and it seems that after the first turmoil, his idea of abolishing the prince was dispelled.

However, Scholar Hu Shu and all the ministers clearly knew that his majesty was not a person who made decisions lightly, but once he made his choice, he would persevere to the end, no matter what difficulties he would face.

Sure enough, within a few days, the Ming fold of Lord Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Road, was sent to the palace, and it was read out in the court above the court meeting, and the words and sentences implied the East Palace, and the hidden meaning was known to everyone.

Shu Wu was furious, although he knew that this situation was against the odds and could not return, he still came out and scolded Xue Qing for being unsubordinate, and was full of nonsense.

The emperor took pity on Shuwu's old age and infirmity, and ordered him to return to his home to recuperate for three months, without the slightest punishment.

The other six governors came and went, and their tones were heavy or light, light or dark, but they all expressed their attitudes in a subtle way.

At this time, the situation has gradually become clear, the emperor has the intention to abolish the reserve, and the governor of the Seven Roads is forced to write a letter to Shengwei, only those first-class ministers in the court and Zhengqing are caught in the middle, they just want to oppose it, and they also feel that there is a sky cover, and there are thorns below, and they are not uncomfortable all over their bodies.

However, although Shu Wu was invited back to the house, the Zhongshu still played a positive role that the Qingguo Emperor allowed them to play, and the ministers in the court, who were bold enough to consider the words at the court meeting, expressed their opposition, and the timid remained silent...... None of the ministers, under the hint of the emperor, bravely wrote to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to be easy to store.

Yes, even if you like to pat yourself on the back, it is difficult to do this kind of thing, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the people of Kyoto are looking at these officials, the prince did not make any big mistakes, but he wants to be deposed, it is really unreasonable, and it is impossible to explain it in the history books.

After the dissolution of this court meeting, several representatives of Wenchen came to Shu Mansion and cautiously solicited the opinions of Shu scholars, anyway, His Majesty knew these things, and they were not afraid that someone would play their own party.

Shu Wu was wearing a cloth robe, and after being silent for a long time, he said with a smile: "Everything in the world must always pay attention to a truth, especially the matter of the prince, which involves the will of heaven and the people...... Fan Xian once said that the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, this is a state affair, not a family affair of the Son of Heaven. The Sacred Heart does not need to be pondered, but asks his own heart. ”

"Your Majesty has made up your mind, what can you do?"

Shu Wu grabbed the beard under his chin, and said with a grin like Pingrì: "Mr. once said that the king has a chaotic life, and the minister can't bear it. ”

The gentleman in his mouth is naturally the Zhuang Mo Hanzhuang family who has passed away for nearly two years. Wenchen went home separately and was silent.

In fact, if the emperor wants to hint at the courtiers, there are many ways to easily find those spokesmen in the court, but it is wonderful that since the turmoil, except for Fan Jian, the head of the household, the emperor has never summoned any minister to enter the palace alone. Therefore, the courtiers are also wondering if His Majesty's mind has not yet been decided-they are not the kind of domestic slaves of the Governor of the Seven Roads, and they dare not read books indiscriminately.

The imperial court fell into an awkward silent confrontation, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was in the East Palace and was at the center of the incident, was still gentle and quiet, and did not seem to take this matter to heart. There were no capable people in his faction at all, but this time he won the support of so many ministers, which can be said to be a surprise, but it is also a kind of ...... Surprise.

So the prince became more and more silent while secretly grateful.

............ And in this waste storage turmoil, there are two young people who stay out of the matter, which attract the attention of the ministers the most. These two young magnates are somewhat similar in appearance and temperament, and their relationship with the crown prince is very complicated.

The first one is naturally Fan Xian, now in the eyes of people, he is an authentic Three Princes, and he himself is the illegitimate son of His Majesty, and his identity is too sensitive. However, before and after the Governor of the Seven Roads wrote the book, he maintained a deathly silence in Jiangnan, and the post of entering the palace did not mention the matter at all, but only circled around the affairs of the inner library and the surrounding rì Chang. Although the Supervision Yuan found the East Palace from the household department, the intensity was obviously not as strong as the ministers imagined, and everyone could see clearly that the actions of the Supervision Yuan in Kyoto had nothing to do with Fan Xian.

So much so that people suddenly thought of the Chun incident, His Majesty threw Fan Xian to Jiangnan, did he also have the idea of separating him from the Supervision Yuan? And why did Fan Tisi, who had always been gentle on the surface and resolute in his heart, refuse to seize this opportunity to beat the water dogs?

The second is the second prince. Before Fan Xian entered Beijing, the second prince has always been deeply favored by His Majesty, the first to be crowned king among the sons of His Majesty, and a large number of ministers were accompanied by Zhou in the court, and later everyone knew that the eldest princess was the prince of Ming Libao, and he was secretly protected...... This second prince is not simple, faintly fighting against the prince, the so-called seizure of the prince, in fact, he was the first to refer to.

But in the past six months, there have been many major events in Kyoto, but it seems to have nothing to do with the second prince, after the eldest princess was imprisoned, the second prince did not have anything to do, but the prince was exiled by His Majesty.

Now that the crown prince is deposed, it stands to reason that the second prince should be the one who benefits the most, and he should take action. Even if he kept silent in order to avoid suspicion and to please His Majesty, he kept silent, but he actually ...... personally wrote to defend the crown prince for the case of the winter jacket of the Northern Army, and even secretly mobilized the officials in the faction, standing on the opposite side of the emperor's mind.

Of course, his power in the court has basically been beaten by Fan Xian's two battles, but after so many years of operation, there is always some mouth to speak, and the most important thing is that after he married Ye Ling'er, he became half the master of the Ye family, and he did have some effect when he spoke for the prince.

The two brothers of the crown prince, the two biggest enemies, expressed their support in different ways when the prince was most dangerous, and this is really a wonderful and wonderful situation.

Presumably, Emperor Qingguo's mood must have been very complicated at this time.

............ And before the matter of the abolition of the reserve entered the high cháo, on one of the three most dangerous borders in the world, there had already been a high cháo, which shocked the already panicked courtiers of the Qingguo Kingdom to become excited.

The three most dangerous borders are the border between the Northern Qi and the Northern Barbarians, the border between Nanqing and the Western Hu, and...... The border between Nanqing and Northern Qi.

The extreme north of the land for three consecutive years of heavy snowfall, the frozen Beiban cattle died, had to move around the heavenly vein, after thousands of miles of hard work, and finally from the north of the Northern Qi to the west of Nanqing, but for this to pay the tragic price of the entire population.

This is a major event in history, and it has had a profound impact on the world. The first is that the Northern Qi people no longer have to worry about the savage and tall barbarians of the wilderness behind them, they can finally free up their hands to deal with the Qingren in the south - that hand is naturally a generation of famous generals Uesugi Tiger.

And after Xihu spent two years digesting the Northern Barbarians to join the tribe, his strength increased sharply. Because although there are few people who survive in the Beiban, the clansmen who can survive thousands of miles and have no food or medicine are all young men and women who are one in a thousand.

Qingguo was attacked by the enemy on his abdomen and back, and the pressure increased sharply.

Only then did the Dingzhou Ye family rush to the western front, and Li Hongcheng, the son of King Jing, was playing hide and seek with those Hu people in the west at this time.

Northern Yan Xiaoyi also returned to the camp ahead of schedule, using strong military power to suppress the strategy of the Shangshan Tiger and the bad ideas of the Northern Qi people.

And this time, the high cháo of the border line broke out on the northern front, between Yan Xiaoyi, the governor of the northern capital, and the famous general Uesugi Tiger.

When the Uesugi Tiger led the army to retreat, leaving Yan Xiaoyi with space and time to think and prepare, Yan Xiaoyi didn't think about his back road in Qingguo at all, and prepared to meet the arrest of the Qingguo Emperor, and directly waved his troops north, coerced 20,000 jīng Rui, and attacked the northern camp along the middle seam of Cangzhou Yanjing!

The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the troops are as fast as a hurricane, Yan Xiaoyi perfectly implemented this purpose, did not ask the Privy Council for instructions at all, and did not have time to wait for the will of Emperor Qingguo, so he personally led the army and killed the generals.

At this time, the Uesugi Tiger, who had always had no last resort on the battlefield, obviously did not expect that Yan Xiaoyi would still have the heart to send troops to attack when he was unable to protect himself.

At that time, the Northern Qi army was slowly retreating for more than 50 miles, and the camp was unstable, and it was suddenly attacked by night and suffered heavy losses. The Nanqing army, on the other hand, only paid 5,000 lives in total.

It is a great victory for Cangzhou.

In people's minds, this seems to be the first time that Uesugi Tiger has suffered defeat.

When the news was transmitted back to Kyoto, both the Shu scholars who were ordered to recuperate and the people who sold alcohol on the street were all excited, and the belligerence and enthusiasm for expanding the borders, which were buried deep in the blood of the people of Qingguo, were mobilized to the top by this "shameless" victory.

The dark clouds that have been floating over Kyoto no longer seem to be so dazzling, and people are thinking that with such good news, it is really not a good choice for His Majesty to insist on his own absurdity, and to do the opposite thing with people's feelings.

With the advent of the war report, the official letter of the Northern Qi Emperor came immediately, in which the Northern Qi Emperor was angry and scolded, saying that the two countries were friendly, but how they waited were very shameless.

After receiving the credentials, Emperor Qingguo just smiled and handed over the matter to Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to deal with. In today's world, the division of national borders is always so blurred, who entered whose land, it is always a difficult thing to say clearly, if it is really a misunderstanding, it is good to apologize after some rì, anyway, it is impossible for the person who was killed to come back to life.

The emperor smiled and said to Gonggong Hong beside him: "Yan Xiaoyi is good, he knows the right way to explain to me the meaning of his existence. ”

Yes, if there is no person who has the meaning of zài, then there should be no more zài.

For example, the crown prince.

Therefore, Dali Temple continued to interrogate the case of the winter jacket, and the Supervision Yuan continued to dig out all the wrong things that the prince had done, the most shameless were the eight, and it seemed that he was going to write a memoir about the prince's molestion with the palace maid when he was a child.

The matter of abolishing the prince was not interrupted by Yan Xiaoyi's great victory, but he rested for a while, and then slowly and undoubtedly carried out under the disappointed gaze of the ministers.

............ This qiē has nothing to do with Fan Xian.

He was on a civilian ship at this time, looking at the courtyard newspaper in his hand in a daze, thinking that the emperor Lao Tzu was really more shameless than himself, it seems that in a while, Xue Qing once mentioned that the sacrifice to the heavens will begin, I don't know what the quiet Qing Temple in Kyoto will look like at that time.

Find the prince has a reason to be abolished, and then sacrifice to heaven to ask for an oracle - the emperor is the son of heaven, and the prince is naturally the grandson of heaven, if God thinks that this grandson is not well-behaved, then God's son has no choice but to do it.

This will be written, and it will be much more beautiful in the history books.

It's really shameless.

Fan Xian shook his head and put down the newspaper. Since Xue Qing began to write, he fled Suzhou, did not return to Hangzhou, did not go to Wuzhou, but just disguised himself and turned into a citizen and got on a civilian boat, subconsciously thinking that the farther away from this political whirlpool is better.

He also knew about the second prince's book to protect the prince, and thought that the second prince's heart was really ruthless.

He thought of the victory in Cangzhou again, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he had never known anything about military affairs, but he always felt that a terrifying horn like the Uesugi Tiger, how could he suffer such a big loss at Yan Xiaoyi's hands?
