Qin Heng is a smart person, otherwise, no matter how prominent his old man's status in the military is, it is impossible for him to get into the door at the age of about thirty, so he stood up very calmly, arched his hand to the eldest prince and Fan Xian, and said, "People have three urgencies, you talk first." Without waiting for the two of them to answer, they had already taken a very steady step, without leaking the slightest trace of unusual emotions, and swept through the corner of the hall like a gust of wind, and went straight to the toilet under the leadership of Chen Yuan's subordinates.

Fan Xian couldn't help laughing, thinking that when he made a big fuss about the yamen of the Criminal Department, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who came to trouble him on behalf of the military, finally saw the conflict escalating, and he also fled in urine - it seems that their old Qin family has studied this trick perfectly.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, after all, it was the eldest prince who broke the silence, and said leisurely: "Qin Heng and I were both boiled out of the war, and we soldiers have a straight temperament, so I also made it clear, I don't like to watch the soldiers throw their heads and spill their blood outside, but the magnates in Kyoto attack each other, causing the country to be uneasy." When there is a party dispute, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the talents in the court will always suffer some losses. ”

Fan Xian tidied up his clothes, sat for a few breaths, seemed to be thinking about something, and then slowly spoke, and couldn't help but have a hint of coldness in his tone: "And the prince...... The meaning of the subordinates also understood, but the reason for this incident, you must also know that the soldiers went to the fire outside for the court sword, is it ...... I think that the dangers borne by the secret agents in the Yuan in the Courtyard in a foreign land are no less than those of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army. I am a member of the Supervision Yuan, although my temperament is not upright. But it's not a character who naturally likes to play tricks, and if you want me to go to the north to do things for the imperial court, I think I'll be happier...... But if someone comes to mess with me, even if the power comes from within the court. I won't be soft-hearted. ”

The eldest prince was silent, and suddenly raised his head and was about to say something.

Fan Xian waved his hand and said: "It's just a conflict of interests, and it has nothing to do with such a big thing as the national body." I am the director of the Supervision Yuan, if I can't even protect my own interests, how can I prove that I have the ability to protect the interests of the imperial court?Protect the interests of His Majesty?" he then sneered: "Your Highness, don't say that no matter who wins or loses, if the other party is aggressive at the moment, I am beaten and have no power to fight back, is it ...... Would you like to be a lobbyist for me?"

The eldest prince frowned, his already somewhat dark face. It became more and more deep: "Fan Xian, you have to be clear about your own duty, you are a courtier." Do things...... Be measured. ”

This is actually very common, in the eyes of the princes, Fan Xian's actions were a bit excessive, and as a courtier, the courage he showed in the incident was inevitably too strong. The eldest prince thought that he reminded the other party that it should be a show of goodwill, and it was impossible to think that Fan Xian was because of his life experience. Every time I hear such words, it is extremely harsh.

"I am a courtier. Fan Xian stared at the eldest prince's eyes, "But in front of me, the so-called difference between monarchs and ministers is only ...... Jun is the emperor, and the crown prince is the future emperor...... Except for these two, I think all of us, including you, are courtiers, and there is no essential difference. ”

The eldest prince looked at Fan Xian with some surprise. It seemed that he couldn't imagine that the other party would dare to say such a thing, squinting his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes was hidden: "For Chen'er's sake, I must remind you again, the family affairs of the Son of Heaven are too deeply involved, and it will not be a good thing for your Fan family in the future." ”

Fan Xian smiled and said, "The Son of Heaven has no family affairs, hasn't His Highness understood this truth?" The eldest prince was choked by the five words "The Son of Heaven has no family", and slapped the arm of the chair in annoyance.

Fan Xian squinted his eyes and said in a harmonious voice: "The furniture of the dean's house is all antiques, Your Highness should be lighter." ”

The eldest prince was stunned, and after being silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Fan Xian, maybe I really underestimated you." ”

Fan Xian was slightly stunned and asked, "Where do you start with this?"

"My ambition is to be on the horse, and if the military is to go around beautifully on the big stage of the world, we need a stable rear. The eldest prince squinted his eyes and said: "So many people, including me, think that the court needs to be calm, over the years, I have been far away in the west, but I know that although the court is a little unstable, it can always be controlled within a certain range...... Until you came to Kyoto. ”

Fan Xian shook his head and smiled, not knowing how to answer.

"Your appearance was too sudden, and your rise was too sudden. The eldest prince looked at him and said, "Suddenly, most of the people in the court are not prepared, and you already have the ability to upset the balance. ”

In the end, the eldest prince said the central idea of today: "There are many people...... I hope you can keep the balance of Kyoto and not sweep everything in a hurry. ”

Fan Xian was silent, knowing that what the other party said not only represented his attitude, but also the attitude of the vast majority of the military.

From Lanzhou to Kyoto, in less than two years, he has already controlled the Supervision Yuan, and has achieved a lifetime of literary fame, not to mention the problem of whether he is in charge of the inner treasury in the coming year, first of all, he has the strength to grasp both civil and military affairs, and he already has the ability to call the wind and rain in the officialdom. And this time the war with the second prince's faction, the current tendency to win and lose, let his strength be fully displayed, try to ask a young minister has the ability to easily hit the prince, will always make other forces above the officialdom feel a little frightened.

The military's message to show mercy to the second prince's subordinates is not a threat, nor is it a maintenance of the dignity of the heavenly family, but a kind of temptation to see whether he, the person who will take over the Supervision Yuan in the future, is a person who is rational enough and sincere enough to maintain the balance of Qingguo, after all, the military and the Supervision Yuan have always been good, and it can even be said that how much the soldiers of Qingguo can survive in the front line is directly related to the wisdom and temperament of the leaders of the Supervision Yuan.

"Have you thought about it, why do I have to fight this battle this time?" Fan Xian no longer called the other party His Royal Highness, nor did he take the other party's reminder to heart. Instead, he asked with a smile.

The eldest prince frowned slightly, he hadn't thought deeply about this question, but when he was asked by Fan Xian at this time, he figured it out. The Supervision Yuan has never interfered in the fight between the princes - thinking of all kinds of possibilities, he looked up and glanced at Fan Xian with some surprise.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect the eldest prince to be so incomprehensible to the tricks on the power field, but he still had a smile on his face: "I just want to vent my anger and make some people sober up at the same time." ”

After a long silence, the eldest prince suddenly twitched his eyebrows, as if he had figured out something, he actually laughed, and then said calmly: "My second brother. In fact, he is also a smart person, and he can suffer such a big loss in your hands this time, and it can also make him vigilant and vigilant...... Maybe. There will be some unexpected results. ”

They are both smart people, Fan Xian immediately grasped the hidden meaning of these words, and after thinking about it, he said in a harmonious voice: "Maybe...... Your intentions and Your Highness, Your Highness, are somewhat coincidental. It's just that whether or not the Second Highness can get that kind of benefit depends on how you persuade you. ”

The eldest prince looked at him with great interest, and seemed to admit it. I couldn't believe this, and said suspiciously: "This king just doesn't understand, why do you ...... about this matter So worrying. ”

Fan Xian thought to himself, fake fake is also a few brothers, it is not easy to be reborn once, is he really ready to watch the Xuanwu Gate staged? But the reason is that he can't say it anyway, so he has to push it over, and he is still wary of the eldest prince, although the court recognizes that this prince is the most broad-minded. is only good at martial arts, and has never coveted the throne...... But after all, it's the son of the thief emperor, who knows what he thinks.

"Be merciful and forgiving. The eldest prince glanced at Fan Xian meaningfully, with his identity, it was not easy to speak and speak such a gesture for the second prince.

Fan Xian smiled and nodded, he knew that he couldn't kill the second prince, so he naturally didn't care about selling this favor. This decision had nothing to do with the attitude of the eldest prince and the military at all, it was purely because of His Majesty the Emperor in the palace...... Looking at myself.

Big Brother is watching you.

......

......

Fan Xian gave enough military faces, and the eldest prince couldn't say anything, after all, he knew that his second brother was not a vegetarian character, and in the final analysis, the Fan family also paid a great price, if they couldn't get back any benefits, they would definitely not stop - but after the matter was over, two people who were not familiar with them sat in Chen Yuandi's hall, and they couldn't find a topic to talk about for a while, and the scene was a little cold and embarrassing.

Qin Heng was very respectful, especially for a long time, the two of them sat on the chairs, drinking tea a little tastelessly, and suddenly Fan Xian said: "How is the eldest princess doing? ”

In the officialdom, the topic of opening is a very knowledgeable matter, and Fan Xian picks this matter to say, naturally he has his thoughts. Sure enough, the eldest prince Zhengse said: "Lord Fan escorted all the way south, and this king has thanked him here." ”

This is the strength of Fan Xian, choosing an appropriate topic can effectively shorten the distance between each other, and at the same time, it must be the kind that allows the other party to admit his feelings, he smiled, humbled himself a few words, and began to chat with the eldest prince about the scenery of the northern country.

The marriage of the eldest prince and the eldest princess of Northern Qi is also scheduled for next spring, and now the eldest princess basically lives in the palace, and the eldest prince has also met a few times, according to Kyoto rumors, this pair of political marriages between men and women, seems to be relatively satisfied with each other. Fan Xian was the envoy last time, so according to the traditional view of the Qingguo people, he can be regarded as the matchmaker of the eldest prince.

After a shallow conversation, Fan Xian finally had a slight change in his impression of the eldest prince, as a prince, but he has such a sparse and direct temperament, which is really rare, perhaps because his biological mother was not very noble, and was just a female prisoner of Dongyi City.

It is no wonder that his wife has the best friendship with this prince - Fan Xian thought so, with a smile on his face and the other party around, listening to the other party as soon as he talked about military affairs, he was full of interest, so he had to sigh in his heart, he was deeply self-aware, and knew that he was in the military field. There is really no genius, compared with a powerful person like the other party who has led the army for several years, it is better to be silent.

"Has Master Fan seen the Uesugi Tiger?" the eldest prince's face suddenly revealed a leisurely yearning, a slight hint of admiration.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned. said: "I seem to have seen it from afar in the Shangjing Palace, but I didn't leave any impression. ”

The eldest prince patted his thigh, looked at him and said hatefully: "Qing doesn't know people, Qing doesn't know people, how can you miss such a great opportunity to make friends." "There is no pity between the words.

"Oh?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why does the eldest prince value the Uesugi Tiger so much?"

"A generation of heroes. The eldest prince gave a four-word comment very directly, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice: "Independently support the defense line that stretches for three thousand miles in the north of Northern Qi, and prevent the barbarians from going south for more than ten years." There are also strange soldiers, breaking through the snowy region for thousands of miles, and slashing thousands of Beiban heads...... Master Fan may not know something. Although the Hu barbarians are extremely fierce, the Western Hu is still much weaker than the Northern Barbarians, and this king has dealt with the Hu people in the west over the years, and he feels more and more that the Uesugi Tiger is so unstable in the Northern Qi court. It can still support it for so many years, it is really ...... Pretty scary. ”

"It's a pity that Uesugi Tiger has been transferred back to Shangjing...... Maybe in the future, I will have the opportunity to meet His Highness on the battlefield. Fan Xian said with a smile.

A hint of confidence appeared on the eldest prince's face. Said slowly: "If you can take this male general for the use of the imperial court, it will naturally be of supreme benefit...... No...... In the future, if we really meet on the battlefield, although this king has always admired his man's art of war, he must also use what he has learned all his life to deal with him. ”

The so-called pride, as it is, Fan Xian looked at the smell emanating from the eldest prince's body, and he occasionally felt confused in his heart, knowing that what he had been used to since he was a child was in the wrong direction. If you have the concept of a previous life, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to cultivate this kind of pride that has been refined in the fire of the army.

But he also had his own confidence, and said with a slight smile: "Although he has not learned the art of war of the Uesugi Tiger, but looking at his sniping and killing in the rainy night, this person really dares to act strangely, and thunder in a silent place, out of the surprise of the world, and he is really a master." ”

The eldest prince seemed to be smiling, glanced at him a little strangely, and said, "The commander of the Northern Qi Zhenfu Division is Shen ...... I'm afraid that this matter will not be able to get rid of Fantis. ”

Shen's death is the first step in the plan that Fan Xian and Haitang have made, in fact, there are some people who are suspicious of Qingguo's role in it, but at this time, when he was pointed out by the eldest prince, Fan Xian was still in his heart, smiling and sloppy: "Your Highness should know that people like us are doing shady things...... It's not as powerful as His Royal Highness or the Uesugi general, but sometimes, he can do something for the imperial court. ”

The eldest prince stared into his eyes, and suddenly said, "This is why this king said that he underestimated you before...... Although the Uesugi Tiger is invincible, it is still carried by Fan Tisi Miao to make a puppet...... Master Fan acted, and sure enough...... Inscrutable. ”

The Uesugi Tiger sniped heavily in the rainy street, and the specific things were skillfully arranged by the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Haitang, but let the world misunderstand that he played a more important role in it, and would make his terrible image and the evaluation of his own strength by others go to the next level, this kind of opportunity Fan Xian of course did not miss it, Tian smiled shamelessly, and actually responded.

"I heard...... Lord Fan is the powerhouse of the Nine Grades?" the eldest prince glanced at Fan Xian, and there was a lot of meaning in his eyes.

Fan Xian tilted his head slightly, smiled softly and responded, "Your Highness, I have no interest in fighting with you...... Regardless of victory or defeat, it is a loss for the imperial court. ”

The eldest prince didn't expect Fan Xian to be so cunning, he immediately heard what he meant, and then blocked his mouth with the words he said before, and couldn't help but be depressed, he was a good martial artist, of course he wanted to compete with Fan Xian, who had always rarely made a move.

"There are a lot of people who want to teach me a lesson. Fan Xian thought that he might meet the pervert of the shadow after staying for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Not much Your Highness, you can yawn and let me go." ”

The eldest prince was stunned again, he has always been cheerful and direct, and he likes to make friends very much, but after all, as a prince, coupled with the bloody murderous aura created by his military career for several years, how many courtiers dare to talk to him freely, but this Fan Xian in front of him, outside the gate of Kyoto, is not very respectful to himself, and he is talking in Chen Yuanli today. is also mostly unparticular, laughing and scolding, as if he does not regard himself as a prince.

He took a deep breath and felt that the world was indeed a little different...... At least around the young man named Fan Xian in front of him. The world is no longer the same.

"Master Fan speaks interestingly, and I like to talk to you. The eldest prince saw that Qin Heng finally came back, stood up with a smile, and said, "You give me face, then we will write off the matter of fighting outside Kyoto, but ...... In the future, if I want to talk to you, you will ...... Don't play sick or urinate. ”

Fan Xian smiled and saluted: "If you dare to disobey your fate, the eldest prince will speak more interestingly than those people." "Those few are naturally His Majesty the Emperor's other princes.

The eldest prince did not say goodbye to Chen Pingping, he knew that this eccentric dean did not care about these false courtesies. and Qin Heng came out of Chen Yuan. Before leaving the circle, Qin Heng whispered something to Fan Xian, and set a time to change him to the Qin Mansion.

Got into the carriage. After walking out of the most heavily guarded mountain road outside Chen Yuan, and passing through the guards of the Fan Mansion who were squatting in the grass like thieves and the members of the Qinian team of the Supervision Yuan, the eldest prince put down the green curtain of the car window and said coldly: "Fan Xian, it is really extraordinary. ”

Qin Heng said with a smile: "According to my father's wishes." The stronger Fan Xian, the better...... Otherwise, in the future, the Inspectorate will really be in the hands of a nest, and those old men in the Privy Council will only be angry to death...... Those brothers in our army will not have a good life. ”

The eldest prince nodded, and suddenly sighed and said, "I have been away from Beijing for a few years." After coming back, I was really uncomfortable, and I didn't even have a person to talk easily. Most of his personal soldiers have been dismissed, and the establishment of the Western Expeditionary Army has also been dispersed, and the military department has transferred another sergeant to the west, he is now in Kyoto, and the situation of the male general in the north is somewhat similar, but after all, he is the prince, compared to the Uesugi tiger, the treatment status is naturally much stronger.

"How's the conversation with Vantis?"

"Not bad. The eldest prince said, "Your father should be able to rest assured." Even if President Chen dies of old age, I believe that with his ability, the Supervision Yuan will still be able to maintain its current efficiency and effectively support the work of the military. ”

Qin Heng shook his head: "I also believe this, but in my opinion, this little Fan Lord may still be too ......."

"Lord Dong Fan is thoughtful, has traveled widely to foreign countries, and his martial arts have reached the realm of the Nine Grades of Super Strength, and he is also extremely beautiful in controlling the affairs of the Supervision Yuan...... Don't forget his status as a poet immortal, a literati leader who can give the Zhuang family a collection of books, but in the future, he will become the president of the Supervision Yuan...... Such a person," he said with an incredulous look on his face, "has never appeared, and I think he will go further than Dean Chen Pingping in the future." ”

The eldest prince sighed: "Don't forget, he will take over the inner library next year...... It's just that he is on the cusp of the storm, welcoming the attention of the people of the world and the cold arrow in the dark, and I don't know what my father thinks. ”

At the mention of His Majesty, Qin Heng was naturally inconvenient to answer, the eldest prince glanced at him with a smile, and continued: "But Fan Xian is still young after all, and compared to the dean, he has one of the most fatal weaknesses, and he himself knows it very well, so this time he took advantage of the second child's affairs to deter the world and take the lead in protecting his weakness." "What weakness?" Qin Heng asked curiously.

"His mind is bound. The eldest prince squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "Uncle is different, my uncle has no children and no daughters, his parents died early, he has no relatives, he has no real friends, although there are many beauties in the circle, but he is not a truly beloved woman, it can really be described as a lonely tree...... The enemies couldn't find his uncle's weakness at all, so how could they defeat him? Fan Xian was different, he had a wife, a sister, a family, and friends...... It's all his weakness. ”

Qin Heng thought about it, it was true, the entire Qingguo, all the people didn't know who Chen Pingping really cared about in this life...... Except for His Majesty.

"No relatives, no friends, no love, these days...... It must not have been easy. "Qin Heng is not an old man after all, and when he thinks about it, he feels a little gloomy.

"It's not easy for the dean. The eldest prince said with respect on his face: "Fan Xian is still far from reaching this realm. ”

......

In Chen Yuan, the singing voice is sandwiched with the sound of silk and bamboo, soft and soft like a weak cloud, greasy and slippery floating in the air. More than a dozen beauties dressed in gorgeous costumes are singing and dancing on the green platform in the lake. Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was accompanied by Wan'er and Ruoruo, watching this scene with enjoyment on her face, and Sang Wen was holding the harp at this time. Playing a tune for the dancers.

What a relaxed princely life, in the carriage that left Yuanzi, the two young people from the Qingguo military felt very sympathetic to Chen Pingping's life.

Fan Xian walked over from the other end, Chen Pingping patted her palms gently, the song and dance suddenly dispersed, and another beautiful woman carefully led a few female guests to the rear to rest for a while, Wan'er knew that Fan Xian must have something to say to Dean Chen at this time, so she went under the leadership of that beauty, but glanced at Fan Xian before leaving. I want to ask him how he talked with the eldest brother.

Fan Xian smiled and nodded, calmed his wife's heart, and walked behind Chen Pingping. Consciously put his hands on the back of the wheelchair and asked, "Where to go?"

Chen Pingping raised her thin hand and pointed to the forest on the east side of the garden.

Fan Xian was silent and pushed the wheelchair to that side, the old and young did not speak, it was still early at this time. But the autumn sun was still deserted, shining down from the slanted top of the forest, dragging the shadows of wheelchairs and people to the ground for a long time. The round wheels of the wheelchair creaked over the shadows.

"He called you uncle. Fan Xian pushed the wheelchair, walked slowly in the somewhat sparse leafless autumn forest, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will join you? ”

"Are you afraid that the Imperial Court will visit you? and you won't lose two layers of skin, if you keep all the chapters of my participation, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's imperial study will be full. Chen Pingping said expressionlessly: "He called my uncle His Majesty's Imperial Approval, and no one could say anything." ”

"Your Majesty is on it?" Fan Xian was a little surprised.

Chen Pingping glanced back at him and said lightly: "Ning Cairen was a female prisoner of Dongyi back then, and during that Northern Expedition, His Majesty almost gave his life in the mountains and rivers in the north. It was all thanks to Ning Cairen's careful service all the way that he survived, and then he had the eldest prince. ”

Fan Xian had heard this story and knew that His Majesty the Emperor was in a desperate situation at that time, and it was the thin old man in the wheelchair who pushed the ground by himself, leading the black horse to snatch him back from the north, and when he thought about it, he understood a little and said, "You have a good relationship with Ning Cairen?"

"Fleeing all the way back, the situation was more miserable at that time, and the impression left in my mind was more profound, and then the relationship naturally became closer. Chen Pingping still said expressionlessly: "At that time, it was impossible to allow the captives to escape, when Ning Cairen was beheaded, I said a word, maybe I remember this, she has always respected me." ”

Fan Xianle said: "It turns out that you are the life-saving benefactor of Ning Cairen." ”

Chen Pingping closed her eyes and said quietly: "Your Majesty was injured at that time, his body was as hard as a piece of wood, and he couldn't move at all...... Always leave a careful woman to do it. ”

Later, I heard that Ning Cairen also had a storm when he entered the palace...... At that time, His Majesty had not yet got married, and he was going to accept a Dongyi female prisoner into the palace, and the Queen Mother was very unhappy. Fan Xian asked, "Did you also help her?"

Chen Pingping laughed, and the wrinkles on her smiling face turned into bun skin: "When I spoke, I wasn't as powerful as I am today...... At that time, it was the young lady who opened her mouth, and Ning Cairen could enter the palace. ”

Fan Xian sighed and said, "What happened...... My mom likes to get a hand. ”

"She's nosy. Chen Pingping said, and suddenly paused: "But ...... This is not an idle matter, she must open her mouth, and His Majesty will make up his mind to get married. ”

Fan Xian grimaced behind him and said, "I still don't listen to the romance stories of the older generation." ”

"Listen up. Chen Pingping smiled gloomily: "At least you know now, in the palace, you still have a person you can trust." ”

"Ning Cairen?" Fan Xian shook his head: "Many years ago, I didn't think that the service could continue until now. ”

Chen Pingping said: "Dongyi women have a pungent temperament and clear grievances...... And thirteen years ago, she avenged the young lady, and she also made a great effort...... It was also because of this that he offended the Queen Mother, was re-demoted to a talented person, and he cannot be reset to this day. ”

"Are you sure Your Highness doesn't have any intention of competing for succession?"

Chen Pingping said indifferently: "He is a smart person, so when he was very young, he chose to run away and let his mother know his son." The prince educated by Ning Cairen is much happier than the second child and the prince. ”

Fan Xian was silent, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Does Ning Cairen know about my affairs?"

"I don't know. Chen Pingping said: "All the cards in your hand can't be played all at once. Always hide a few in your sleeve. ”

"Your Majesty...... Do you know I know?"

"I don't know. ”

"Is this considered a deception?"

"Oh, since Your Majesty didn't ask, of course it's inconvenient for those of us who are courtiers to say anything. ”

The old man and the young man both laughed, laughing like two foxes.

"That's the end of the second thing?"

"Have you achieved your goal?"

"A total of seventeen officials have been governed, and his strength in the court is almost clear, and I don't have the ability to do it at the level of the official department. Fan Xian wrenched his fingers: "The Cui family has also lost a lot, according to the news from the north, their hands and feet are forced to open." It is estimated that it will be much easier to cut off their hands. ”

"Don't let others notice that your next target is the Cui family. Chen Pingping said coldly: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will make a decision." It's hard for the dick to turn over. ”

"Will there be a problem with my family?"

"Do you care about the baron's title?"

"I don't care. ”

"Then it's no problem, don't worry, your dad is more cunning than anyone else, how can he make you suffer. I don't know what came to mind, Chen Pingping said fiercely: "While I'm not in Beijing." Called you back from Shanzhou...... The devil knows what he's thinking. ”

"That's my father. Fan Xian reminded the dean with a little headache.

Chen Pingping patted the armrest of the wheelchair and said mockingly: "I admit it, he is really good at being a father." ”

Fan Xian was a little unhappy to hear such words. There was silence. Chen Pingping didn't seem to expect this kid to respect Fan Jian so much, smiled with some relief, and asked, "What are you doing today?"

"Bring my wife and sister to eat. Fan Xian pulled up a reluctant smile, "By the way, let them open their eyes and look at the beauties of your lonely old man raising a yard." ”

Suddenly, he didn't want to continue joking with the old man, and asked with a hint of melancholy, "I've always had a question for you. ”

Say. ”

"You...... Is it really a loyal servant?"

Chen Pingping replied very cautiously, and said seriously after a long time: "I am loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to Qingguo...... And you should know by now, no matter what you do. It's His Majesty who watches you do it, and what He allows you to do, you can do...... Therefore, to be loyal to Your Majesty is actually to be loyal to yourself, and you must remember this and be loyal to Your Majesty forever. ”

Is this loyal to His Majesty or loyal to himself? Fan Xian did not want to delve further into this issue.

"But you struck too early this time, a little ahead of His Majesty's plan. Chen Pingping closed her eyes and said faintly: "And your style of acting is too thorough, Your Majesty doesn't know that you have guessed your own background, and it is inevitable that you will be suspicious." ”

Fan Xian was silent, knowing that this was the biggest trouble caused by this matter.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Chen Pingping whispered.

Fan Xian was no longer worried, pushed the wheelchair, and walked out of this beautiful but desolate forest, at this time, the old and young walked westward, which gradually pulled the shadow behind them away, but the wheels of the wheelchair could not tear the fetters of the shadow.

On the second day, the court meeting was held on time, saying that the Fan father and son, who had been ill for a few days, finally stood on the court, ready to meet the stormy impeachment and the rebuke of the officials in the court.

But as for other crimes, the Fan family does not accept anything, anyway, the other party has no evidence at all about the Yin of Kyoto Mansion and killing people in the rain, and all the hands and tails are extremely clean, enough to block the mouth of Youyouyan.

On the contrary, compared to the accusations of the Fan family against the second prince, the other party was a little difficult to deal with, after all, it was Xie Bi'an, one of the eight generals, who killed people outside Kyoto Prefecture, and Xie Bi'an finally died violently in prison, and all the charges were directed at the second prince.

To the surprise of the courtiers, the offensive on the second prince's side was not fierce, and all the counterattacks were only superficial, and after a while, everyone guessed that the two sides had reached some kind of secret agreement, in other words, the second prince admitted defeat.

His Majesty the Emperor had been sitting on the dragon chair and listening quietly, but it was only when Fan Xian came out to ask for guilt that an unpredictable look flashed in his eyes.

After a short time, after deliberation and personal examination by His Majesty, the matter was finally settled.

Fan Jian, the head of the household, is not strict with his son, and his son is murderous, but he thinks that he has worked hard for many years, and he has the first thing, so he will be punished lightly, fined for three years, cut down two levels, and blamed him for thinking about it behind closed doors.

Although there is a fact of repentance on behalf of his younger brother, his sin is unforgivable, and he is punished by the knight, and he is instructed to revise the book given by Zhuang Mohan within three years, and there must be no mistakes.

The Criminal Department issued a sea fishing document, and the whole country wanted Fan's second son, Fan Sizhe, who absconded in fear of crime.

Kyoto Prefecture Yin has been arrested and imprisoned, removed from the office, and later tried.

A national ......

......

......

Finally, it is the handling of the second prince: misconduct, demotion, closed-door cultivation for six months, and no unauthorized appearance.

The result finally came out, and every word and sentence on it was worth pondering by the officials and the people, but no matter what, Fan's father only had a heavy punishment for cutting off the knight, but there was no substantial loss. On the contrary, the second prince and his descendants lost many officials, and he was even sentenced to house arrest for six months, and the punishment was not severe, everyone knew that this battle was won by the Fan family.

But someone who listens to His Majesty's personal will, but finds a very interesting coincidence, Fan Xian and the second prince's charges are very vague, and they are all misconduct. It's just that as the director of the Supervision Yuan, it doesn't matter if he has misconduct, but as a prince, he has been criticized for misconduct, and the impact is a bit big.

The direction of the wind in the court has changed, and everyone knows that the second prince is no longer as favored by the saint as in previous years, but His Majesty did not summon Fan Xian into the palace alone again...... That's the end of it?

However, Fan Xian didn't seem to have any reaction, he stayed in Taixue with a smile all day long, sorted out the books with those teachers, occasionally went to the supervision courtyard to take a look, and took two days to visit the house of the old general Qin of the Privy Council, and took Wan'er and her sister into the palace to worship the mothers, and coincidentally met the eldest prince in the Shufang Palace where the princess of Northern Qi temporarily lived, of course, I did not see Your Majesty when I entered the palace this time.

Secretly, he is still discussing a lot of things with Xiao Yan Gongzi, and the layout of the smuggling route in the north of the inner library has gradually entered the topic, just waiting to cut off the hand of the Cui family with a knife, cutting off the largest source of income for Xinyang and the second prince. Regarding the matter of the true qi in the body, he was also waiting attentively, and at the same time waiting for Mr. Fei Jie's reply to see whether he would take the medicine or not.

In this way, in a cold wind in late autumn, the chrysanthemum appreciation conference that had been postponed for a long time finally began, but Fan Xian wrapped himself like a zongzi, looking at the last dead leaf outside the window with some fear, thinking that in this cold ghost weather, where would the deadly chrysanthemums bloom?
