Chapter 127: The Beginning of Autumn
After several autumn rains, the autumn mood is thick outside the window, and the scattered Kyoto noble houses are lightly bathed in dampness.
Fan Xian clenched his fist to his lips, coughed twice, withdrew his gaze from the window, gasped heavily, and then slowly sat down on the bed.
This inn can see the beautiful scenery of the south city, naturally very classy, the mattress of this bed is not thick, but the feel is excellent. He subconsciously slid his palm on the fabric, sighed in his heart, experienced the lore at Dadong Mountain, the sniping of Yan Xiaoyi all the way to Beiyan, and escaped death countless times.
After killing Yan Xiaoyi with a heavy sniper, he was seriously injured and recuperated on that meadow for two days before he accumulated enough strength and jฤซng god to walk towards the unknown path surrounded by mountains.
After some indescribable difficulties, Fan Xian entered the Song Kingdom under the protection of Dongyi City, and in that small country of princes, he did not dare to act rashly because of his injuries, and only dared to ask the shopkeeper to go to the store to grab some medicine.
He himself is a student of Fei Jie, although his medical skills are not first-class in the world, but he has spent a lot of effort in treating knife wounds and poisons, and the drugs he catches are symptomatic, coupled with the domineering true qi in his body as the base, Tianyi's natural breath flows to self-heal, so he walks like this, and the injury is gradually getting better.
But Yan Xiaoyi's arrow was too powerful, although it didn't hit his heart, it also hurt his heart, the injury was not finished, and the heart pulse was damaged, so the cough couldn't be suppressed.
Fan Xian is very clear about his physical state, and at most he has sixty percent of his strength at his peak.
Out of the Song Kingdom, swept through the southern land of Yanjing, even if he later hired a carriage to enter the country, but after all, it was a big circle, and by the time Fan Xian pretended to be a soybean oil merchant and entered Kyoto, it was already several days later than the person who reported the news, and the journey was arduous for thousands of miles, and the gradually healing injuries began to linger.
............ Along the way, Fan Xian was very careful not to contact the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan, but the money sprinkled in the Baoyue Building in the past two years was finally rewarded, and after entering the border of Qingguo, what happened in Kyoto, and some of the initial reactions were supported by intelligence.
The reason why he has not been in contact with the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan is because Fan Xian is a little worried in his heart, if the nobles in Kyoto really wear the black cauldron on their heads, even if they are the leaders of the Supervision Yuan, who would dare to be loyal to a traitor who kills the king?
Fan Xian was reluctant to test people, even if it was a person under the Supervision Yuan.
That afternoon, he went out and walked around the streets and alleys of Kyoto, confirmed a lot of things, and was very careful not to go to the medicine hall, but went directly to three hidden warehouses and retrieved the medicine he needed. The Third Division has been needing a lot of medicine for many years, and most of the personnel in the department are eccentric people who only know how to bury their first medicine, and as the director of the Supervision Yuan, he is very clear about these distributions, and he takes them unknowingly, and I believe that no one will find any clues.
Back in the inn, taking good medicine for injuries, and soaking his feet in the cold well water, Fan Xian lowered his head and said nothing.
During the day, after he disguised himself, he went to many places, but most of the key points had been controlled by the forbidden army and the Kyoto Prefecture, especially near his home, he felt that many masters were saving, and he did not dare to risk getting in touch with the people in the prefecture.
He also went to the periphery of the Supervisory House and the Privy Council, which seemed to have no problems, but he knew very well that the courtyard was also under the watchful eye of the Inner Court at all times. As for the Privy Council, it was also extremely busy, and he had a very detailed understanding of the procedures in the army, and it took him half an hour to confirm that the old queen mother in the palace was still in control, and very wisely chose to mobilize the border troops at this critical juncture and began to put pressure on the surroundings.
After all, he has been the director of the Supervision Yuan for a long time, and he has too many eyeliner subordinates in Kyoto, and he has the tentacles of Baoyue Tower and the rivers and lakes, although he does not dare to contact too many people, but it is not difficult to figure out the current situation in Kyoto.
And the thing he thinks about the most at this time is...... Fan Xian raised his head, took a towel and wiped his feet indiscriminately, lay on the bed, and looked at the top of the beam above in a daze - the emperor is really dead?
His mood was very complicated, some shocked, some depressed, some disappointed, some strange. If His Majesty really died, what should he do next?
Touching the letter and the jade seal that had been hidden in his arms, Fan Xian closed his eyes and rested, saving the god for the night's actions, but he couldn't enter the silence for a long time, the next situation was too dangerous, at this time, there were two choices in front of him, and no matter which choice it was, it was actually a gamble.
If you want to prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne, you must find a way to enter the palace and hand over the handwritten letter and jade seal of His Majesty to the queen mother in person. But...... Fan Xian understood that if the emperor really died, with the psychology of the empress dowager, for the sake of the stability of Qingguo, maybe the old empress dowager would directly destroy this letter!
The crown prince and himself are both the grandsons of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother has never liked herself, and even because of Ye Qingmei's past, she has always been wary of herself. If she really decided to hide the truth about His Majesty's assassination, then Fan Xian and everyone around him would naturally become the first pig and dog to be sacrificed on the road to the throne.
There is one more option. Fan Xian can contact all his help in Kyoto, reveal all the truth about Dadongshan's assassination, and the two sides will show their soldiers and horses, and fight head-on, and whoever wins in the end will naturally have the qualification to determine the direction of the history books.
This choice will kill many people, but it seems that it is safer for Fan Xian himself. But the problem now is...... Fan Xian couldn't contact his father, nor could he contact Chen Pingping, it is said that the dean took medicine by mistake some time ago because of the wind and cold, was poisoned, and has been lingering on the couch.
Fan Xian didn't know if Chen Pingping was pretending or how, but he made it clear in the information he secretly saw in the branch office that the person who poisoned him was the one in Dongyi City - the three people in the world who used poison, Sean is dead, Mr. Fei is gone, and the most powerful person is that person, if it is really that everyone, Chen Pingping's poisoning is not a very unimaginable thing.
All the movements after the assassination of His Majesty were faintly pointed to one point - although the palace still did not identify Fan Xian as the real murderer of the assassination of the emperor until this time, nor did it let the imperial court issue a document on sea capture, but secretly regarded him as the primary target, once Fan Xian appeared in Kyoto, he would be greeted by an endless pursuit.
And now the most unfavorable thing for Fan Xian is that Yan Xiaoyi's failure and the news that he is alive should also be transmitted to Kyoto in these two days. Whether the Queen Mother believes in Fan Xian or not, once Fan Xian survives, she will want to grasp this grandson, and then look at the future of Qingguo at a glance, and decide Fan Xian's life and death with one hand.
Wan'er and Sisi were in the palace, and her father was under house arrest.
Fan Xian, who was lying on the bed calmly, was spinning rapidly in his mind, and finally made a decision, not to return to Fan's mansion at night, but to enter the palace directly, even if he couldn't convince the queen mother, he believed that he could still seek some kind of benefit, after all, in the palace, he had many helpers, and many people would stand on their side very firmly even for their own interests.
As for the Fan Mansion, the forbidden army is led by the eldest prince, and it should not pose much of a threat to his father.
After thinking about this qiฤ, the day in Kyoto was over again, the faint twilight sรจ seeped into the window, making the room of the inn glow with a warm sรจ, Fan Xianhuo opened his eyes, his eyes were full of strong confidence and perseverance - as long as the charge of rebellion in his body was washed away, there was the Supervision Yuan in his hands, there was the forbidden army of the eldest prince, there was the energy of his father's Guogong Mansion outside the palace, there was Yigui Concubine Ning Cairen in the palace to help, and the little eunuch Hongzhu who was said to have been with the Queen Mother all the time.
As long as Ye Qin's two armies can't enter Beijing, who can be stronger than themselves in the entire Kyoto?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ "The decree has been entered into the western military camp, and the 5,000 soldiers who have been taken prisoner have been drawn back to the west, and after about ten years, the battle will begin. In the palace, an old general who was dying sat on a soft stool and said respectfully to the queen mother: "The lord of Nanzhao is still young, so there shouldn't be too much trouble." As for the two directions in the northeast, the northern army is riding on the momentum of new victories, the governor of Yan should be able to suppress the Uesugi Tiger, and the western camp of Yanjing borders the Song State. โ
The Queen Mother nodded slowly, the news of the emperor's death has spread all over Kyoto, but it has been barely suppressed, but this news will eventually spread all over the world. No one knows whether those forces in the world will take advantage of the death of the leader of the lion pack and the emergence of a new lion king, greedily seeking some benefits - so at the beginning of dealing with the affairs of the country, the first thing the subjects of Qingguo should do is to deter the ambitions of those people with strong military power.
"Not enough. The Queen Mother glanced at the veteran indifferently and said: "Spread the will of the mourning family, order the Privy Council to draw up a battle strategy, within half a month, the three-way army must be outwardly assaulted, limited to a hundred miles of land, more land, we don't want it, but if the fight is less than one mile, let Ye Chongyan, Xiaoyi, Wang Zhikun, and the three guys cut off their heads by themselves." โ
"The Queen Mother is wise. Old Man Qin sighed, as the first important minister of the military, he naturally understood why at this time, Qingguo wanted to use troops on a large scale abroad, but he still said with doubts: "It's just that the troops are suddenly sent, and I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be able to keep up." โ
"Just go back, the inside of Northern Qi Dongyi is not a desert, what can you grab? It's just that the offensive of half a month doesn't need to be considered so much. The Queen Mother said indifferently: "At this time, I can't mess up the Daqing Dynasty, so ...... You have to kill more, grab more, and make chaos everywhere else. โ
