Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Great Prince Visits
The development of things really did not surprise Fan Xian's expectations, the great master of Qingguo, who traveled in the world like a lonely Hong, still did not return to Kyoto, the Ye family accepted the arrangement very silently, and was forced to break away from the defense system of the entire Kyoto, of course, in the arrangement of the middle and lower levels, they still have some residual strength, but they have not been able to make too many waves, and have lost the power to directly influence the future government.
If Ye Liuyun really returned to Kyoto after this incident, the emperor in the palace who was calm and kind on the surface would definitely show his most ruthless side, desperately trying to damage the national strength of Qingguo, and also get rid of the Ye family directly - a family, holding the important land of Kyoto, is about to marry the prince, and the most important thing is that there is a great master as a solid backing, as long as the slightest hint of backlash is revealed, it must be suppressed strongly.
In the end, Ye Liuyun did not return to Beijing, which shows that the Ye family reluctantly accepted the current situation. Of course, for the sake of Ye Liuyun's face and the loyalty of the Ye family, which has not really weakened, it will not embarrass the Ye family too much. Ye Zhong is still stationed in Cangzhou, and none of the military achievements of the knighthood have been weakened, and the reward is even better than back then.
Even the somewhat lovely palace priest of Zhilu, who had committed such a great sin, did not punish him strictly, but only took away all his military positions, and after beating him with thirty court rods, he was demoted to a commoner.
The Ye family was very aggrieved, but in order to stabilize the future of Qingguo, they had to make sacrifices, so that they could take the opportunity to stay away from Kyoto, a place of right and wrong, which was not necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, the real most disappointed should be the eldest princess who is far away in Xinyang, and the second prince who is now under house arrest.
βββββββββββββββββββββββ "That's ridiculous. Fan Xian looked at the hospital newspaper sent by Mu Tie and couldn't help but shake his head. The defense of Kyoto after the temporary retirement of the Ye family is now a matter that everyone in the court is staring at, and the position of Kyoto garrison has unsurprisingly fallen into the hands of Qin Heng, and the most important commander of the forbidden army and the minister of the imperial guard, these two positions, which have always been held by one person, have been divided into two by His Majesty.
The minister of the imperial guard is temporarily empty, and according to the news from the palace, it should be the old eunuch Hong who is temporarily in charge.
And the post of commander of the forbidden army...... It turned out to be the eldest prince!
What Fan Xian said was absurd was aimed at this appointment of the emperor, and in the history of this time and space, there has always been very few precedents for a prince to take up the post of commander of the forbidden army, and what is the reason? Isn't it precisely that he is afraid that those bold princes will use their soldiers to rebel! However, the emperor has handed over the post of commander of the forbidden army to the eldest prince, and there is also a crown prince in the East Palace, what is this emperor thinking? Ning Cairen, the biological mother of the eldest prince, is a native of Dongyi, and it stands to reason that this great position will not be his turn under any circumstances.
Mu Tie didn't dare to answer, and reported a recent job to Fan Xianyu, and looked at Lord Tisi's god Sè seemed to be a little tired, so he quickly said goodbye.
"Teacher, take a break. In private, Shi Xianli is still used to calling Fan Xian a teacher, not an adult, he looked at Fan Xian's face that was obviously a little lacking in qi and blood, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty has issued a clear decree that you will not ask about the affairs of the hospital for three months...... It's obvious that you're going to take care of your injuries, but you don't listen. β
The saint of the door teacher is extraordinary, and he is also a little faintly proud as a student.
Fan Xian shook his head and scolded with a smile: "What do you mean when you don't stay in Baoyue Tower, what do you mean by soaking in my study every day?"
Shi Yanli smiled bitterly: "That place ...... It always feels wrong to stay there. β
Fan Xian smiled and kicked him out, and by the way, asked him to call Deng Ziyue in.
Deng Ziyue entered the study, Fan Xian's face immediately became solemn, and asked, "What conclusion did the courtyard draw about that white-clothed assassin?" Although he knew that it was impossible for him to dig out the secret in Chen Pingping's heart at present, it was a pity to let go of the resources in his hand that were almost completely similar to the old cripple's and not use them to guess the riddle.
Deng Ziyue shook his head and said, "Although Your Majesty shouted out the identity of the other party on the Hanging Temple...... But. He smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you also know that His Majesty is not a martial artist, his words are naturally inaccurate, Sigu Jian did have a younger brother back then, but he has been missing for many years, and everyone in the world is wondering if he was killed by Sigu Jian when he seized Dongyi City." So the hospital has been very cautious in expressing opposition. β
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, a little surprised that the Supervision Institute did not smooth this tail under Chen Pingping's inducement, or did it mean that the true face of Chen Pingping's confident shadow could not be guessed, so he simply didn't do these tricks?
"But ......" Deng Ziyue said the second but, his face embarrassed, "but since His Majesty said that he is the younger brother of Sigu Jian, it is not easy for those of us who are courtiers to oppose it directly, especially I don't know if His Majesty's casual remarks are related to the movements of the imperial court in the next few years." β
Fan Xian laughed, Qingguo is good at martial arts, the world knows, last year he was assassinated in Niulan Street, His Majesty took this opportunity to send troops to the north, and occupied a large piece of land back, as a result, now all the courtiers are accustomed to the emperor's hobby of making excuses to fight, and they dare not be smart casually.
Regarding the matter of the Hanging Temple, it stands to reason that Fan Xian should personally go to the Supervision Yuan to interrogate the little eunuch and see the assassin's body, but he knows how muddy the water is here, and he is still thinking about whether he should be too involved, and another reason is that under his current physical condition, all his relatives, including his father, will not allow him to leave the house.
He didn't dare to come out himself, Xiao Fan, who cherished his life like gold, now that his true qi was completely dispersed, he didn't know when he would be able to get it back, he was extremely disappointed, and he was even more careful about his personal safety.
Of course, Fan Xian would not reveal his true situation to anyone.
ββββββββββββββββββββ the door of the study was pushed open with a creak, the guards outside the door did not react, Fan Xian lay on the bed and looked over, sure enough, it was Wan'er and her sister.
Deng Ziyue saw the faint angry look on the face of the lady, knew that he should go, and bowed, so he respectfully withdrew. So much so that Fan Xian wanted him to speak on his behalf, and it was rumored that Bingyun had come to the mansion, but he didn't have a chance to say it.
"I decided to take care of my injuries, but I didn't want to save my heart. The two sisters-in-law skillfully began to change and feed him the medicine, while still persuading him.
Fan Xian smiled bitterly: "It's probably because the name is not chosen well, and I can't be idle." β
Since Fan Xian left the palace and returned home, Fan's Mansion immediately became the most lively door in Kyoto, and the officials of the three courtyards, three temples and six departments of the whole rìli came to visit Lord Tisi's illness in an endless stream, countless powerful people came to the door, and the ministers, regardless of faction, all came to show their goodwill.
People who come to Fan's Mansion can send any precious medicine vigorously, where did Fan Xian eat these alone, except for some really precious raw materials, the rest were put in Baoyue Building to deal with.
The assassination of the Hanging Temple made Fan Xian the hottest minister in Qingguo again, and compared with his sudden rise and becoming the secretary of the Supervision Yuan, this time he has the power to save the driver as the cornerstone, which is much more solid and stable, and it makes the officials of Qingguo secretly afraid of three points.
The officials are not blind and deaf, Fan Xian was left in the palace for so many days after he was injured, and listening to the news from the palace, Fan Xian didn't seem to have slept much on the night Fan Xian was injured-such a grace, and only Chen Pingping, a lonely old man, could compare.
When many people cautiously stammered Fan Fu, in fact, how could they have been completely convinced in their hearts? Especially those brave young people, they couldn't help but be jealous of Fan Xian's good luck, why wasn't he by His Majesty's side when he was assassinated?
"I got a lot of money back home. Fan Xian was talking seriously, not joking, in his previous life, a district and county magistrate was sick, and he had to get tens of thousands, not to mention that a minister at his level was bribing Qingguo, who was gradually becoming superficial.
"It's just bitter master. Lin Wan'er smiled faintly, and fed him a mouthful of medicine like a child, she was so noble, of course she didn't care about the flattery of those courtiers.
Fan Xian, who was recuperating from his injuries, was in the mood to receive those officials who were called to see a doctor, but they were actually showing goodwill, but these officials had their own backgrounds, so they had to suffer Lord Fan Shangshu, and in addition to routine ministry affairs, most of the time was used to greet guests.
Fan Ruoruo complained: "These people don't say anything about coming once, but they still come again and again, and they are not afraid of annoying." β
"The ministers are still good. Lin Wan'er suddenly thought of something, her face showed admiration, looked at Fan Xian and said with a smile: "The most terrifying thing is that Tai Yizheng." This old man is such a patient that he has come four times and you will not see him. In the end, even His Majesty sent a message to him, you will not enter the Tai Hospital, but he still refused to give up. It's not ...... I just heard from everyone that the imperial doctor is here again today, and he is sitting in the study, refusing to leave. A cup of tea was drunk into clear water, and the old man even made his face sΓ¨, but he just couldn't see it. β
She sighed, "What a great person." β
Fan Xian smiled bitterly, although he didn't say anything, but he also admired the five-body cast body of the Taiyi who was the first in Qingguo with a thick face. That night in the palace, at first, the imperial doctor did not have the slightest confidence in his medical skills, but it did not affect him to secretly stay in the Guangxin Palace to peep and steal the master, and later he found out the wonder of Fan Xian's medical skills, he was even more determined to pull Fan Xian to the Tai Hospital, at least let Fan Xian pass down those "strange medical skills", the heart is strong, repeatedly come to the door, insist on not leaving, the means of scoundrels, is really different.
In the eyes of Qingguo's doctors, surgery is naturally magical, but Fan Xian knew that he was just a big fate at that time, and there were some key problems, which led to this knowledge in today's world, which is really difficult to promote.
He glanced over at his sister, who was carefully adjusting the frenulum at his wound, and suddenly thought of a possibility, but then shook his head.
The three of them stayed in the study, and the atmosphere was just right, but someone knocked lightly on the door, and Fan Xian frowned.
"There are guests visiting. The subordinate outside the door respectfully reported.
At this time, even Lin Wan'er's brows furrowed, and said, "Didn't you say that no one is missing?"
............ Fan Xian looked at the uninvited prince with a wry smile on his face, and said, "How convenient it is in the palace, His Royal Highness didn't go to the plum garden to see me, why did he come today?"
Lin Wan'er also pouted and said, "Big brother, there are many people in the house now, why don't you come to join in the fun?"
The eldest prince looked at her helplessly, this sister has grown up watching her since she was a child, and she has only been married for about a year, and her mind is all on her husband's family: "How can there be so much to say." The brother and sister fought a few more words, and the eldest prince was helplessly defeated, so he made a move to transfer flowers and jade, and said in a deep voice: "The eldest princess also came with me, and she was talking to Mrs. Fan at this time, Sister Chen, go and have a look." β
The eldest princess in his mouth is naturally the woman who came all the way from the Northern Qi to marry, Fan Xian was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that this pair of men and women had cultivated such a relationship before marriage, and the palace also allowed them to come and go in pairs, and thought of the several conversations he had with the eldest princess on the way back, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo were also extremely curious about the foreign princess who only heard her name and didn't see her, and knew that His Royal Highness must have something to say to Fan Xian, so they got up and left.
The study was quiet, Fan Xian raised his right hand slightly, motioned to the other party to use tea, and said softly: "Congratulations to Your Highness." β
Congratulations to the other party on taking up the position of commander of the forbidden army. The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, immediately relaxed, and said lightly: "He is happy? This king was originally the general of the expedition to the west. β
Fan Xian smiled: "Although it is said to be a two-level downgrade, how can the center of the forbidden army be the same as the border YΔ«n Mountain?"
The eldest prince glanced at him, wondering if he meant something else when he said this, and said after a while: "This king...... I don't want to be the commander of this forbidden army, so I would rather go to the north to replace Yan Xiaoyi back. β
Fan Xian shook his head, thinking that His Majesty would move Yan Xiaoyi far away, and eat the Ye family to death, wouldn't it be that crazy woman in Xinyang, if you go to the north, of course Yan Xiaoyi will be happy, but His Majesty will be very unhappy.
"Don't sue me, Your Highness came to see me today, a patient, and what you want to say is that you are unsatisfactory in your workplace. He chuckled softly, "I can be a competent listener." β
"It's not just the audience. The eldest prince stared into his eyes, although he didn't understand what the word workplace meant, "I want to ask you to help with this." β
Calling himself me, not this king.
Fan Xian noticed this change, and began to feel slightly nervous in his heart, it seems that this eldest prince with Dongyi blood is very serious...... Please help yourself.
Oh, my God!
He sighed bitterly in his heart, looked at the eldest prince and said, "Your Highness, what a critical position the commander of the forbidden army, Your Majesty trusts your loyalty, so this arrangement is made. As a courtier, how can Fan Xian discuss it in vain?"
The eldest prince shook his head: "Fan Xian, I can't hide it, at the beginning of my return to Beijing, I was quite unimpressed with you. When I was in the west, I heard that there was a poet in Kyoto, but I am a military general, and I never believe that these things can be of any help to the people of the world and the court......"
He then changed his tone: "But after returning to Beijing for a few months, I saw that you acted ruthlessly without losing your gentleness, and you showed your talent among the many wits." Not to mention that you are extremely uncomfortable with the second child, just talking about the hanging temple has greatly changed my perception of you......" "And in the palace, you can actually heal your own death and injury" The prince with a slightly dark face said solemnly: "Now I really can't think of anything else in this world that can stump you." So you have to help me with this. β
Facing countless high hats, Fan Xian was silent, Chen Pingping once said that the eldest prince in front of him was different, he had deliberately stayed away from the court since he was a child, and wanted to get as far away from that chair as possible, and now His Majesty, an old ghost who kills people without a knife, wants to drag him into troubled waters, no wonder he wants to resist in anger.
And the power of the eldest prince is mostly in the military, and there is really no talent in the court's strategy, but the other party actually found his head, which is really a bit unexpected.
Although Fan Xian was indeed very happy to see that among these "brothers", one of them could maintain a rare mind and clarity, and he was also very sympathetic to the other party's current situation, but he still shook his head very resolutely: "Your Highness, you don't dare, you don't do nothing, you can't, Fan Xian is just a courtier after all, and it is impossible for the Supervision Yuan to discuss the government in vain." β
The eldest prince sighed, he was a little presumptuous and even risky when he came today, but he looked around the capital, except for Fan Xian, who could he go to? Could it be that he could only go to Chen Yuan again after all?
"Your Majesty's mind has been decided, no one can change it, and I don't think His Highness needs to go to Chen Yuan again. But I'm a little curious, Your Highness is here today...... In your eyes, I should not be a benevolent minister who is kind to others. Fan Xian seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking.
The eldest prince slowly drank the fragrant tea in the cup and said, "Fan Xian, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me, don't forget it, I was also in the hanging temple at that time...... Just because you save your younger brother first, and then save your father, I know that you are a trustworthy person. β
Fan Xian was silent, he didn't expect the values formed in that world, but the emperor and the eldest prince both had an inexplicable trust in themselves.
The eldest prince came here today to express his attitude to the Supervision Yuan, and at the same time, he hoped to get some useful hints from Fan Xian, but since the other party was silent, it was not good for him to be too reckless. With Wan'er in the middle as a bridge, if the situation in Beijing really changes in the future, I don't expect the Supervision Yuan to help me, but if Fan Xian can reveal some useful information, it will be enough.
"I heard that the Imperial Doctor is in the house several times?"
He changed the subject a little awkwardly, and his long career as a horse made him a little unclear about the curve above this kind of officialdom.
Fan Xian laughed in his heart and explained: "He wanted me to go to the Tai Hospital to work, but after being refuted by His Majesty, he wanted me to go to the Tai Hospital to teach students. β
It was a casual conversation, but the eldest prince became serious and said: "Fan Xian, I also think that you should go to the Tai Hospital, and I also stayed outside the Guangxin Palace that night, and I saw the serious expressions of those imperial doctors, and I knew that your medical skills were really good." β
He asked curiously, "Actually, many people in the capital are strange, how dare you let Miss Fan do it in your stomach? Those imperial doctors have already blown you into an immortal." β
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and replied: "Don't believe them, everyone knows that Fei Jie is my teacher...... If they were four years old, they would dig up graves every day and disembowel corpses soaked in corpse water, and they would have the same ability as me. β
"I see, it seems that nothing is enough to explain it by the word genius. The eldest prince sighed, and then persuaded: "Of course, the Tai Hospital is not as powerful as the Supervision Hospital, but it is better than the Taiping. Taiyizheng's idea is also very simple, if your medical skills are taught, I don't know how many lives you can save. β
He looked at Fan Xian's eyes seriously: "It's better to save people than to kill people." And I have been in the army for many years, and I also know what a good doctor means to those wounded soldiers. β
"Why do you want to teach medicine?"
"For the benefit of the world. β
"The Imperial Doctor must have meant that?"
"Exactly. β
"Your Highness's concurrent project today is to help the imperial doctor as a lobbyist, no wonder the topic changed so strangely before. Fan Xian laughed.
Seeing him smiling proudly, the eldest prince's face gradually sank, and he said, "Do you think we are all talking nonsense?"
In fact, it's really close to nonsense, let Fan Xian leave the dignified Supervision Yuan to be a professor of medicine, and no one can persuade him to say such a thing, but the two upright people of the Imperial Doctor and the Great Prince said it directly.
Fan Xian stopped laughing, found that the wound on his chest was a little painful, startled, and said: "It's not a joke, on the contrary, I do have a little respect for Taiyi Zheng in my heart." β
When it comes to surgery, there are many problems that cannot be solved, the first is anesthesia, the second is sterilization, and the third is instruments. Nowadays, the level of this world is not enough to solve these passes, Fan Xian uses Ge Luofang for anesthesia, and hard resistance for disinfection, which is based on his strong body muscles, if it is replaced by ordinary people, I am afraid that he will either be killed by drugs or died by complications. As for the equipment problem, it is even more difficult to solve, Fan Xian and Fei Jie thought about it for a few years, but after all, they only tried their best to do such a set.
If you can't even stop the bleeding, what else can you talk about?
After explaining these reasons in words that the other party could understand, the eldest prince finally understood that this kind of medical skill was a relatively strong medical skill, and it was to use the body of the injured person to fight against those knife-tip drugs, and if Fan Xian had not practiced since childhood, he would not have survived.
Thinking of the soldiers in the Western Expeditionary Army who were wounded by arrows and died after all, he finally felt a little regretful, slapped his thigh and sighed: "There is no better way?"
Somehow, Fan Xian's mind resurfaced his sister's surprisingly steady hands, and comforted: "There are some basic things, in a few days, I will let Ruoruo go to the Tai Hospital and refer to each other with the imperial doctors." β
The eldest prince nodded, and said, "Before, you seemed to be a little unimpressed with the words benefiting the common people. This is the doubt in his heart, Fan Xian is of course a powerful minister who puts interests first on the surface, but after a few onlookers, the eldest prince always feels that the other party's ambitions should be more than that.
Fan Xian was quiet for a while, and then said softly: "There are many ways to benefit the common people, and it is not necessarily necessary to save people's lives. β
The eldest prince didn't understand.
"For example, Your Highness, you have been in the west for several years, fighting against the Hu people and killing countless people. He smiled and said, "But if you stop the invasion of Xihu, isn't it for the benefit of the common people?"
This sycophant, no matter how calm the eldest prince is, he has to endure it.
"Another example is me. Although the world thinks that the Supervision Yuan is just a terrifying spy agency, if I can let it play a role in my hands, try to lean on the right path as much as possible, so that the world of our Daqing Dynasty is unbreakable, and the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment...... Isn't that a blessing to the people?"
The purpose may be the same, but there may be many ways to do it. The more Fan Xian spoke, the more energetic he became, like the junior high school Chinese teacher in his previous life, and he told the old story of Lu Xun's abandonment of medicine and literature, of course, it was the old thing from a thousand years ago that he occasionally saw in the ancient books of Zhuang Mohan.
The eldest prince was slightly stunned: "To save the body of the people, why not save the gods of the people?" he patted his thigh and said: "But my Qingguo is not the weak appearance of the country in this story now, why do you need to educate with words?"
These words are true, and there is a fresh upward smell in the pure customs of the Qing people, which is very different from the air that made it difficult for Lu Fuzi to breathe at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "So...... Not only did I give up medicine, but I also planned to abandon the ...... What am I doing? Abandon medicine and politics? Abandon pen and follow Rong?"
The eldest prince still disagreed with him: "You are indeed a genius, why don't you put all the knowledge in your chest into practice, if you can make the world a better place......"
Fan Xian waved his hand with some difficulty and said, "Most people want to transform this world, but few people want to transform themselves. (Note 1) I thought that I would first transform myself. β
Decades ago, there was a woman who wanted to transform the world, but she died, Fan Xian didn't want to follow in her footsteps, he was more afraid of death and more selfish.
As he spoke, there was a sudden commotion outside the window, and there was joy in his voice.
The eldest prince glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that the will to reward you has finally come down." β
Fan Xian laughed at himself, didn't say anything, all that was hidden in his clear eyes was worry about his body, that's all, and he didn't worry about the world first.
