Who is He Zongwei, presumably the officials already know that although the past and old grudges between him and Fan Xian are extremely distant, how can Fan Xian not imprint this person's name deeply in their hearts with Fan Xian's extremely grudgeful character.

"I've seen a scholar. ”

"I've seen the little grandfather. ”

He Zongwei was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed very steadily. Master Hu laughed and said a few gossips, raised his arms weakly, and signaled that he didn't need to be polite. But Fan Xian just looked at the young minister calmly from the sidelines, and he didn't know how many pictures flashed in his mind.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Qingli, the military sniped Fan Xian in the valley, giving the emperor a chance to change the blood for the imperial court. Among the Seven Gentlemen, Qin Heng participated in the rebellion and was already dead, Yan Bingyun was working in the Supervision Yuan steadily, just waiting to take over the position of Fan Xianti, but He Zongwei was the most trusted and fastest-promoted person among these new bloods.

After the rebellion in Kyoto, the three of Fan Xian's eldest prince Ye Zhong were the first to act, and the problem was that these three people were already the top figures among the powerful, and their majesty could not be sealed, and there was no reward. However, because of this incident, He Zongwei was greatly treated by His Majesty, and was promoted to three levels in a row, entering the political center of the imperial court like a rocket. This kind of promotion speed is really an anomaly, and perhaps only Fan Xian, who has just entered Kyoto, can overpower him.

And not only Fan Xian is clear, He Zongwei himself is clear, in fact, the government and the opposition all understand that this person's promotion of leapfrogging and delegating power to His Majesty are just the power that His Majesty naturally generated in order to balance Fan Xian. It's not that the emperor has any suspicions about Fan Xian, it's just that a powerful minister like Fan Xian, if there is no one to check and balance one or two in the court, there will always be some problems.

Although He Zongwei entered the middle school of the door, he still held the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and held the holy will, and the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate rose greatly, which formed a great oppression on the power of the Supervision Yuan. In the past two years, there have been many lawsuits between the Supervision Yuan and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the situation between the two sides has been extremely tense, and the eight law enforcement departments headed by Song Shiren and Chen Bochang have also been busy.

The Law Enforcement Department is a new yamen of the Supervision Yuan set up by Fan Xian on a whim, in order to deal with the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is the most capable of playing tricks.

It can be seen from this that Fan Xian certainly doesn't like He Zongwei, this person overturned his father-in-law and went against himself everywhere, the most important thing is that under the other party's honest and strict face, there is a speculative heart that he hates the most.

The name "Three Surnamed House Slaves" was spread from the study of Fan's Mansion, and the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was kicked by Fan Xian, and everyone knew that Lord Xiao Fan looked down on He Zongwei the most.

But every time they met at the court meeting or in the yatang, He Zongwei still maintained absolute respect for Fan Xian, as if he didn't know about it at all, just like the feeling when the two met for the first time in Yishiju.

As the saying goes, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, as long as the other party doesn't touch his bottom line for the time being, Fan Xian will naturally not be mean and humiliate him. However, it is He Zongwei's attitude of a smiling person that makes him feel a little secretly in his heart, such a young man who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain, it is impossible for him to suffer losses on the surface, but who knows what the other party will do in the dark.

He Zongwei seemed to see that Fan Xian was not very willing to talk to him, smiled helplessly, saluted the two again, said a few words in harmony, and then followed the red lantern and retreated into the darkness under the palace.

Fan Xian squinted at the lantern until he couldn't see the person's face, and then he gently exhaled a cloudy breath. Scholar Hu looked at him gently from the side and said, "Lord He's holy family is stable, but he is not a person without proportion, and the dispute between the two academies is just an office matter. ”

Listening to Scholar Hu speak for He Zongwei, the corners of Fan Xian's lips curled, and he quipped: "If you are asked to marry your precious daughter to him, are you willing?"

Scholar Hu coughed repeatedly, pointing at Fan Xian funny and angry, unable to speak. Nowadays, there is a trend of late marriage in Kyoto, and even if the palace is very unhappy about it, it cannot be changed. For example, the prince of King Jing, such as He Zongwei, are already established people, but they are still alone and don't think about getting married.

"Speaking of that girl in my family......" Scholar Hu suddenly smiled and said, "An Zhi, I heard that you accepted the young lady from Wang Dadu's family as a student, since this is the case, you don't mind more of my family, right?"

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that he had accepted Wang Yu'er as a female student, and this matter had become a reality after the dispute between the imperial study and His Majesty. At that time, he was still complacent, taking retreat as advance, and asked His Majesty to hand over all the matters of the eldest prince and concubine to himself, and at this time, listening to the words of Scholar Hu, he knew that he had caused problems again.

He waved his hand again and again and said, "What is this, the university scholar is rich and rich, and Ling Yuan is also ice and snow smart, where do you need me to do this waste." ”

Seeing his refusal, Scholar Hu smiled, thinking that if you are a waste, then who in the world is not a waste, I can't help but feel a little pity in my heart.

Everyone in the Chinese military officials of the dynasty knows that Master Xiao Fan is a must-have in the world, teaching the stubborn third prince into today's gentle gentleman, and teaching the Ye family miss in Kyoto to be a gentle princess, whose humanities have the name of poetry immortals, and the realm of martial arts and nine products, even Hu University is very willing to send his daughter to his mansion - of course, not to be a concubine, but to be a female student.

Fan Xian turned the topic back to the previous sentence, and said teasingly: "The bachelor refuses to marry his daughter to He Zongwei, naturally because he knows that his heart is not right, such a villain, why should I be false with him." ”

Scholar Hu sighed helplessly, thinking that in today's imperial court, only Fan Xian would criticize He Zongwei so fiercely, but he never understood why Fan Xian looked down on He Zongwei so much.

In short, this matter is incomprehensible, Fan Xian's jealousy and disgust for He Zongwei come from many aspects. At this time, it was too early and there was nothing to do, so Fan Xian gossiped with Scholar Hu.

Since Shu Wu returned to old age, Fan Xian was a little surprised to find that Hu scholars and Shu old men are the same as Shu old men, they are very interesting people, not pedantic at all, and during the Kyoto rebellion, Fan Xian inherited the great friendship between Shu and Hu, an old man and a young man, and they got along very well, and the relationship was a little closer.

Fan Xian and the two of them got together and talked about the Xinwen Movement of Scholar Hu that year, although this incident ended without a problem, it was the most proud thing in Scholar Hu's life, even more proud than entering the middle school under the master's door, and Fan Xian was also a generation of master disciples who were baptized by May Fourth, and he was extremely happy, and the laughter actually penetrated the silence under the palace.

At this time, in the darkness under the palace gate, countless red lanterns are actually looking up here, and many people want to participate in the dialogue between the head of the middle school and the little grandfather, but they know that they are not qualified for this, as for laughing while waiting for the court meeting, only these two people have this kind of courage.

After a while, Fan Xian straightened up, suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a little weird, frowned slightly, and sighed.

Scholar Hu glanced at him, knew what he had understood, and smiled slightly.

Fan Xian never knew that after the suppression of the rebellion, His Majesty had considered the question of letting him succeed to the throne for a moment, although His Majesty the Emperor had resolutely erased this idea from his mind afterwards.

But he knew that the emperor's initial arrangements for the government of the Qingguo Dynasty were to use He Zongwei's Metropolitan Procuratorate to balance the power of the Supervision Yuan, and then the subordinate Zhongshu led by Hu Xueshi was on top to stabilize the dynasty.

Such an arrangement can ensure the peace and tranquility of the government of Qingguo for 20 years.

It's just that now Fan Xian's power is too great, and he is extremely friendly with Hu Daxue, the emperor's arrangement cannot be implemented, so he has to put He Zongwei into the middle school of the door.

"The meaning of majesty is clear. Master Hu said gently: "He didn't want the courtiers below to be like fire and water, and at first Lord He came to ask for peace, but he also intended to ease up. Anzhi is a smart person, you should know how to do it. ”

Fan Xian was silent, his handsome face looked extremely calm under the reflection of the lantern. A year and a half ago, he once kicked open the gate of the Imperial Court and scolded more than a dozen imperial historians below He Zongwei until they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

This incident proves that His Majesty the Emperor is willing to pay the price of maintaining the Imperial Court and maintaining this balanced situation. So from that day on, Fan Xian knew what he should do, and he always did it, as long as He Zongwei was not too excessive, he would not use a hot hand, except for the establishment of the Law Enforcement Division to make the Metropolitan Procuratorate extremely uncomfortable, there was no really powerful means to show it.

But this qiē must be based on the premise that Fan Xian can endure it, if He Zongwei does something that he can't bear, with his blood relationship with the emperor, with his real strength now, even if he is really killed with a knife, what can the emperor do?

Scholar Hu looked at the darkness under the palace gate, and sighed faintly, feeling worried for He Zongwei in his heart. He immediately thought of the meaning of His Majesty in the middle of the night before yesterday, and couldn't help frowning, according to the usual theory, although He Zongwei is not a pure person, but the old things in the past years were the will of His Majesty, thinking about it carefully, this Lord He is actually not bad - if Lord Xiao Fan is willing, His Majesty can really calm down the dispute between the two houses.

This qiē depends on whether Fan Xian is willing or not, and Scholar Hu turned his head and glanced at Fan Xian deeply.

Fan Xian was thinking at this time, whether the words of Scholar Hu were the words entrusted to him by the emperor, or the attitude of the Chinese book under the door, and then frowned and thought that although he Zongwei was also extremely respectful of himself, he was not as docile and peaceful as he was today, and he had no temper at all.

This qiē actually stems from the excessive power in Fan Xian's hands. An illegitimate son of the royal family, in the hands of the Supervision Yuan, and the inner treasury cannot be separated from him, such power is too exaggerated. Fan Xian thought of the emperor's thoughts, and couldn't help but be annoyed and secretly said, could it be that his good character and family background are also a kind of original sin?

—————————————————— waited for the end of the imperial meeting, and then held a routine small meeting, and finally the emperor and the eldest prince, the third prince, and Fan Xian held a smaller private family meeting. Fan Xian walked out of the high imperial city, and said sorry to the housekeeper of the Hu Mansion who was waiting for him with a gentle smile on his face, saying that there was a sudden emergency in the mansion today, and the drinking had to be another day.

Sitting in the carriage back home, Fujizijing found that the young master seemed to be in a really good mood today, his eyes kept smiling, and the corners of his lips kept curved, just like the moon. Thinking of what his mother-in-law had been urging recently, he cautiously asked, "Young master......"

Fan Xian glanced at him sideways, listened to his most loyal servant whisper, and after listening to it for a long time, he understood, it turned out that some households in the house had gone out to become petty officials with the prestige of the Fan family, and their hearts were also a little itchy.

In today's Fan Mansion, all the miscellaneous affairs are basically handed over to Fuji Zijing and his daughter-in-law. Having this thought is also something that Fan Xian expected earlier. He looked at Fuji Zijing and said with a smile: "Today is the ninth year of Qingli, and since it is five years late, it is not interesting for you to go out again." ”

Fuji Zijing didn't understand the young master's unfathomable words, and he smiled and stopped.

Before returning to the house, Fan Xian lifted his shirt and entered with the wind, still maintaining a gentle and kind smile on his face. All the servants and wives felt happy when they saw this scene, Fan Xian is used to buying people's hearts, not to mention the whole house, who is not proud of him, seeing that the young master is happy, these subordinates are naturally happy.

The third housekeeper followed Fuji Zijing, followed Fan Xian to the garden, and said softly: "The young lady of the Wang family is here, I heard that she is going to officially apprentice, depending on the young master's mood, it should be accurate, what should we prepare?"

Fuji Zijing's face did not turn, he smiled as inscrutable as Fan Xian, and said, "Miss Wang...... It's a miserable day. ”

"Why?" asked the third steward in surprise.

Fujikokyo said with a dark face: "Young Master is in a bad mood today...... It's never been worse. ”

............ Sure enough, it is worthy of being a smart person who saw Fan Xian's brilliant future in Shanzhou, and it is indeed worthy of being the cronies who have followed Fan Xian for the longest time, and the development of the situation is as Fuji Zijing expected, when Fan Xian walked into the study with a smile, the rude lady of the Wang family ran out of the study crying.

Wang Yu'er was crying and scolding, looking extremely miserable, and she didn't know what Fan Xian had done to her. The girl's family seemed to think that the study was not a place for people to stay, and hid their faces all the way, tears flying in the air.

It is the tears all the way into poetry, or the posture of the pear blossom body.

And behind her, General Shi Fei, the Kyoto garrison who had come here on purpose, also walked out of the study angrily and walked out of the mansion, with words in his mouth, as if he didn't expect that Fan Xian would not even give his face.

Fuji Zijing looked at the stunned third housekeeper and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know what happened in the palace." ”

The daughters of the Fan Mansion, who waited for the news, hurried to the study, and learned along the way that in the study, Fan Xian was extremely mean to teach the girl Wang Yu'er a good lesson, and finally even had to use the whip.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that this time it was a big deal to offend the military's Yanjing faction, especially a big man like the commander of the Kyoto garrison, who came in person for Wang Yu'er's entry into the palace, which was enough to give Fan Xian face, where would he think that Fan Xian would not leave any face for the other party.

The smile on Fan Xian's face was weird, he looked at Wan'er, Sisi and the little county lord of Roujia in the study, and said: "Nothing happened, this is said in advance, if you enter my door, you will have to be whipped twice, and you will break the original sin." ”

Lin Wan'er gasped, wondering if Xianggong was suffering from madness today, the so-called whipping was of course just a joke, but how could it be true.

Fan smiled and said softly: "It's not a joke, Gang Chang ethics, this kind of thing always needs to be respected." ”

"But you can't fight in front of General Shi. Lin Wan'er glanced at him helplessly, and had already guessed wisely that something must have happened in the palace that made Fan Xian pour his anger on Wang Yu'er's head.

And today, there is only one person who can give Fan Xian a little anger and make him unable to vent outside the house.

"These words were spoken to me by your good uncle. ”

Lin Wan'er was annoyed and said, "That's your father." ”

The couple said that it was naturally the emperor's majesty. The problem is that although everyone knows that Fan Xian is the illegitimate son of the emperor, no one dares to say this fact.

Especially the county lord of Roujia, his face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know how to answer.

Lin Wan'er sighed, knowing that it was her own speech, she stepped forward and whispered, "What did His Majesty say to make you angry like this?"

Fan Xian sat down with a headache, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty wants to give Ruoruo a marriage." ”

Rou Jia's eyes rolled, and she said with slight joy: "This is a good thing." ”

Fan Xian glanced at her and said, "Do you think this time it is still pointed out to your brother?" His face sank, and he said, "Your Majesty asked me privately today what I mean, it seems that he wanted to point Ruoruo to He Zongwei." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was full of shock, quiet, and tight—nervously tight.

............ Lin Wan'er's heart was beating extremely fast, for fear of what Fan Xian would do in anger, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she preemptively said, "How can this be done?"

These words are not touching Fan Xian's hair. Under the influence of Fan Xian, the Fan Mansion looked down on He Zongwei very much, especially Lin Wan'er, on the one hand, she was thinking of the downfall of her old father in Wuzhou, and on the other hand, she learned from Fan Xian that He Zongwei had some thoughts about Ruoruo back then.

In fact, He Zongwei was a dignified genius in Kyoto, and the young man Mu Shaoai liked Ruoruo at all, but Fan Xian just felt disgusted. After today's meeting in the imperial study, the emperor said the meaning of marriage, Fan Xian was angry on the spot, and had a big quarrel with the emperor, but in the end, he was suppressed by the emperor with the share of the monarch and the minister, and the righteousness of the father and son.

"He Zongwei...... The character is not good. Of course, Rou Jia hopes that Fan Ruoruo can become her sister-in-law, no matter from which point of view, she has to fight for her brother Hongcheng.

Fan Xian listened to Rou Jia's soft voice and blushing criticism, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his mood was much better.

"Your Majesty doesn't think that Lord He has a bad character. Fan Xian's face calmed down and said: "In the eyes of His Majesty, He Zongwei is a talented person, and now he is a high-ranking official, and he is loyal to him, of course he is worthy of Ruoruo." ”

In fact, if you throw away the sè vision, many people will think that Lord He and Fan Ruoruo are a match made in heaven, because the so-called character and official character are actually clear that He Zongwei is just doing things for His Majesty, and he is actually a great loyal minister.

It's just that there is one thing Fan Xian still hasn't figured out, when he was thinking about His Royal Highness's acceptance of the side concubine in Qingzhou, he once thought that His Majesty the Emperor is now full of trust and love for him, and he knows that he did not hesitate to beat Hongcheng into a generation of yín people for Ruoruo's marriage, and he should not forcibly arrange the marriage to provoke himself - but now His Majesty will actually intend to marry Ruoruo to He Zongwei, what does he think?

"Since His Majesty is asking you in private, it means that he knows that you will definitely object, but it is just a temptation. Lin Wan'er immediately calmed down and began to analyze this qiē, "You shouldn't resist your majesty, you don't know your feelings, the more fierce your opposition is, the more he wants to do it." ”

"I'm just angry that Your Majesty is so confused. Do you think that if you forcibly point to this marriage, there will be a gentle drizzle in the court?" Fan Xian woke up from his contemplation, and a light flashed in his mind, as if he vaguely caught something.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his voice was pressed into a cold line: "He Zongwei, I don't care. If he really dares to come to the door to propose, I will cut him with one sword. ”
