There is one thing in this world, which is the god of all peoples, the souls of the gods, and the ghosts that are also forced to grind and earn.

On the carriage of the Fan family, you can often see the family emblem of the Fan family, one side and one circle, it is the shape of such a thing, Master Fan is the head of the household department, in charge of the treasury, Xiao Fan is about to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to take over the inner treasury, the wealth of Qingguo is in the hands of this family, and even with the family emblem is also full of copper smell.

Money, the money that makes people love and hate to death, the money that makes people go to heaven and hell, giggle on the mountain of knives, and dance in the sea of fire!

Not only the people love money, but the court loves money more, so it will set up a lot of taxes, eager to scrape down the three layers of land, as for the Qingguo court, from the beginning of the country, began to tax salt and iron tea in addition to the field labor, and later due to the sudden rise and demise of the Ye family, the inner treasury has become the largest silver money in the imperial court, for the glass products, spirits, playthings, and ships produced in the inner treasury, the imperial court naturally levies heavy taxes, and the supervision has always been extremely strict, and the supervision is responsible for the special department.

Therefore, the smuggling of the Cui family, which was investigated and dealt with by the Supervision Yuan, immediately shocked the world, and until today, the people of Qingguo did not know that there was such a big gap in the inner treasury, and the imperial court actually lost so much silver in terms of tariffs!

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was silent, and the officials who were bribed by Xinyang were silent, but there were still some officials of different factions or righteous hearts who began to write one after another, asking the imperial court to investigate the matter thoroughly, although no one dared to mention the name of the eldest princess in the chapter, but the spearhead had been pointed directly at Xinyang.

In contrast, the young emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty also took the opportunity to take advantage of it, and the matter of Fan Tisi's injury to Cangshan in the Supervision Yuan was intentionally or unintentionally omitted, although everyone knew that Fan Tisi was the mastermind behind this operation, so that he could take over Neiku in the coming year, but no one dared to say anything.

On the contrary, the impulsive students in Taixue have already begun to prepare for the book, asking His Majesty to hand over the jurisdiction of the inner library to Lord Xiao Fan - Fan Xian's reputation is indeed much better than that of the eldest princess, and among them, there is naturally also the credit of the snow words back then.

And in recent days, some other gossip has begun to circulate in the tea shop table in Kyoto, I heard that Xinyang has begun to send assassins in a frenzy to murder Lord Xiao Fan!

The work efficiency of the eight divisions of the Supervision Yuan is indeed very high.

―――――――――――――――――――――――― not everyone can fully understand the conflict between Fan Xian and the eldest princess.

There are many high-ranking scribes who have always wondered why the world is so enthusiastic about this kind of adu, and even willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for it. For example, Shi Xianli, although he is now a limelight figure in Kyoto's entertainment industry, the big shopkeeper of Baoyue Building, has changed from a poor student to a rich man, but he still doesn't understand this.

Why did the eldest princess always be reluctant to let go of the inner treasury? She even used such ruthless means to deal with her son-in-law recently! She smuggled the two families to the north and even overseas, and what was the purpose of digging up so much silver from the inner treasury? Where did she spend the vast amount of wealth she had seized in the past ten years?

"Raise soldiers. Fan Xian looked at the only student beside him and explained: "The army is all His Majesty's, all of them are from the imperial court, although Yan Xiaoyi is the governor of the northern capital, but if you want to do anything in the future, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat the edict of Your Majesty...... You also know how high the prestige of His Majesty is in our country, especially in the army. ”

"If you want to compete with this prestige, there is only one thing in the world that can play a role. ”

"That's money. Fan Xian said with a smile: "A lot of money, the monthly income of those officers under Yan Xiaoyi is high, I am afraid that you will be dumbfounded when you hear it, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Xiaoyi can grasp the troops in his hands as firmly as possible." ”

Shi Xianli stopped his right hand, which was copying notes, and smiled bitterly.

He entered the mountain this time to be entrusted by Taixue to pass on the current generation of Wenchen Fan Xian of Qingguo. Since Fan Xian released "Banxian Zhai Shuhua", his position in the Qingguo poetry circle has been firmly established, and even the carriage book that traveled to the Northern Qi Dynasty and brought back the Zhuang family has expanded his influence. Taixue is of course honored to be a little Fan who has become a middle man from Taixue Zhongzheng and has now become a school secretary, and he is not willing to miss this kind of resource, so he decided to set up a personal biography for Fan Xian, and then publish it by the Xiangbo Bookstore, distribute it all over the world, and strive to win more students in the north and Dongyi City in the coming year, and also pull more talented people to come to Qingguo to participate in Chūn 闱.

But after Fan Xian was injured, he hid in Cangshan, and he didn't go to Taixue for a long time, and even Shu Dashi couldn't find him, so he had to find the only protégé of Master Fan in Beijing today, Shi Yanli.

Shi Xianli also felt that this matter was promising, and Taixue was personally invited, and he felt more and more glorious than being the owner of the jì courtyard in Baoyue Tower, so he ran into Cangshan in a hurry, and he was lucky not to see those dead people in the snow.

Unexpectedly, things turned out differently than he imagined.

Although the door master was begged by himself to stay in the study, he ...... The door master doesn't talk about his own life, poetry, and Taoism, but he always talks about the secrets of the court, such as how the Supervision Yuan overthrew the second prince, and why the eldest princess refuses to let go of the inner library!

These things, how could Shi Xianli have the courage to copy them on paper, even if he dared to copy them, and gave Taixue 800 heads, they would not dare to print them out and distribute them!

He looked at the doorman, braved the cold and said, "Teacher, these things ...... It can't be passed on. ”

Fan Xian himself felt very ridiculous about the matter of the biography, thinking to himself that he was young, could it be that those scholars who were too scholars were ready to make a conclusion for themselves? Looking at Shi Xianli's embarrassed appearance, he scolded with a smile: "The legend of a fart!"

After he said a dirty word, he said: "Is Taixue idle and fine? When will they be able to sort out those books of the Zhuang family......? These guys who eat white rice only know how to pat me on the back, and they don't know how to do something serious. ”

Shi Xianli explained for Taixue: "Zhuang's books have begun to be printed batch by batch. ”

Fan Xian shook his head and continued: "Then tell me about this ridiculous thing." Although I have written a few poems, sung a few tunes, and talked with Zhuang twice in my life, don't you know that my most glorious career is really good...... In fact, it's still these unsightly things. ”

This is true, and even somewhat similar to Rousseau's self-analysis, but there is no trace of repentance.

"What I'm most proud of is these murderous and poisonous uses, not those storms and snows, can you write, do you dare to write?" Fan Xian stared at Shi Yanli's eyes, "If you want to write a biography for me, one day in the future, when I die, or everyone in this era is dead, if you are still struggling to live, it is not too late to discuss." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――― Shi Lili sighed, knowing that the work of the notes could not be done, the door master had made up his mind, and it was difficult for him to convince, but he had been aroused by the court secrets that Fan Xian had said before, and said on the previous topic of the door master: "Regarding the affairs of the north, I think that Yan Xiaoyi, the general, he blindly uses money to buy loyalty...... Even if you want to rebel, I don't think it's useful. ”

Under the influence of the disciple for half a year, Shi Xianli is like Sisi from Shanzhou, he is much bolder and his speech is much more spicy.

"His Majesty has a tight grip on the army. Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and said: "The eldest princess, she has no loopholes to exploit, only a henchman like Yan Xiaoyi, of course, she has to spill a large sum of silver, and if she can earn a point of loyalty, it is a point." ”

"Although it costs a lot to raise a general...... But that's Neku, ten years, is that just enough to do that?"

"Of course not. Fan Xian explained like a teacher: "The second prince wants to buy the Beijing officials, which requires money. To grasp public opinion, it costs money. Xinyang has to make friends with local officials, those princes on one side, which also needs money. The official word has two mouths, and these officials in our Qingguo are all healthy, and they have no choice, their mouths are wide open, and they want to feed these people...... It's really expensive. ”

Shi Yanli frowned and said, "This is tantamount to rebellion." ”

"You said it before. Fan Xian laughed, "It's only time to win the heir now, if His Royal Highness really succeeds, in the future, the imperial power will be in his hands, and he and his little aunt will send out the silver and get it back, which is also very simple." ”

Fan Xian suddenly thought of the scene where Wei Xiaobao framed Wu Sangui in Luding Ji, and said with a wry smile: "Of course, after becoming the emperor, where do you need to care about these little money, the whole world is his." ”

Shi Yanli gasped: "Teacher, you want to take over the inner library and lift the Cui family in advance, wouldn't this cut off the other party's money and cause great damage to the second highness's seizure of the heir...... No wonder Xinyang was so angry this time, and the reaction was much stronger than the turmoil in Kyoto last time. ”

Fan Xian sneered: "Reaction? Five or six years ago, my mother-in-law began to react. ”

His mind flashed back to five or six years ago, the small building that was burned to the ground in Shanzhou, and it was in that building that he killed people for the first time in his life. After entering Beijing, with the power of the Supervision Yuan, Fan Xian investigated this matter clearly, and the reason why the Liu family wanted to poison himself that year was precisely the arrangement of the two women in the palace.

It was in that year that His Majesty first raised the matter of the marriage between the two families of Fan Lin, and it was equivalent to raising the question of the transfer of jurisdiction of the Inner Library after Rì. Although under Chen Pingping's strong opposition, this marriage was not successful for the time being, but it still made the eldest princess give birth to jǐng ti meaning, of course, she was not willing to let go of the huge wealth she firmly grasped, so she would arrange for someone to kill Fan Xian.

But no one thought that four years later, taking advantage of Chen Pingping's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Fan Jian proposed this proposal again, and finally got the permission of His Majesty, so Fan Jian let Fuji Zijing travel thousands of miles, and hurriedly took Fan Xian from Lanzhou to Kyoto.

When I thought of myself when I was twelve years old, I had already picked up such a heavy burden on my shoulders, and I had already caused such a big trouble, and now Fan Xian, who was already in power, still felt a little afraid.

Then, there was the matter of Niulan Street, where the second prince set up a banquet and invited each other, and the eldest princess secretly instigated the second prince of the prime minister's mansion to organize a murder bureau.

Counting up, this mother-in-law has tried to kill herself three or four times, but she just didn't succeed. Fan Xian smiled bitterly and thought that the dangers he faced in his life seemed to be carried out by the beautiful eldest princess who forgot her age, and this eldest princess had not done it herself, but just used some tricks to make others dirty - this woman, this woman with a habit of cleanliness, would use Xinyang's manpower to assassinate herself this time, and it seemed that she was really angry and panicked.

Fan Xian's lips floated with a confident smile, as long as you are angry, if you are still as calm as before, you will still be a little unsure of how to start.

He was deeply convinced of the Xinyang princess's strategic ability, and only from the Niulan Street incident to the clever hand of plotting to seize the land of Northern Qi, as well as selling Yan Bingyun in exchange for the political chaos of the Qingguo Dynasty, it can be seen that the eldest princess has the ability to plot yīn plot - but he is not afraid of this, because what the Supervision Yuan is best at is also yīn plotting, and Xiao Yan Gongzi is also a genius, and he has a deep enmity with the eldest princess. The most important thing is that in addition to the yīn scheme, the Supervisory Yuan also has strength, and this is exactly what Xinyang lacks the most.

To deal with yīn plotters, a simple sword and blood fire is the most effective means.

"The eldest princess is a wonderful woman. Fan Xian woke up from his contemplation and sighed, "It's really amazing. At the beginning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that she was the help of the East Palace, but no one would have thought of her agreement with the Second Highness. People who hate her in the court, such as my father-in-law who has left the court, will subconsciously favor His Royal Highness Er, and the person she controls on behalf of the East Palace can be thrown out to be a villain at any time. If this situation continues to last for seven or eight years, when His Majesty is older, maybe His Royal Highness may really enter the East Palace. ”

"It's a pity that I met the teacher. Shi Xianli said.

Fan Xian was not modest, and said, "I'm just lucky, and you think Your Majesty and Dean Chen really don't know about this matter?"

Shi Lili was slightly startled.

Fan Xian smiled bitterly: "Even if the eldest princess is a great woman, after all, she is not the opponent of this group of old guys back then, I am just the hand that was pushed to the front desk, Your Majesty...... Maybe I just don't want the Queen Mother to be angry. ”

He suddenly tilted his head slightly, looked at the white mountains outside the glass window, and said with a slight sigh: "But among these powerful people, I actually admire the most...... Instead, it's my father-in-law, who has long since left Kyoto. ”

Shi Yanli didn't understand, he thought that the sect master would say that the one he admired the most was Fan Shangshu.

Fan Xian smiled and said: "My father-in-law is known as Jiān Xiang, but in fact, he is a rare capable minister, Qingguo was really called Guotai Min'an a few years ago, although there are small disagreements, after all, it does not hinder the overall situation, he has made great efforts." And what I admire about my father-in-law is that he is extremely forbearant and decisive, and he was ...... Because of the eldest princess, Sigu Jian killed my second uncle, and my father-in-law immediately agreed to my marriage with Wan'er, and stood on the side of the Supervision Yuan and my father without hesitation. Don't forget, he and Dean Chen's father have been fighting in the court for I don't know how many years, so heavy and decided, immediately make a plan, it is really very human. ”

He then sighed and said: "And my father-in-law holds the power of slaughter, but he has no love for the stack, once he found out that His Majesty had other ideas, he immediately resigned and did not do it, although he lost the power in his hands, but after all, he ended up with a safe family and a peaceful family." ”

Fan Xian's father-in-law, Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, has been in Wuzhou to retire, to be a rich man, often with some family correspondence in Kyoto, I heard that the recent life is very good, the body is better than in Kyoto.

"It's easy to know people, but it's hard to know yourself. Fan Xian sighed and said: "My father-in-law knows people and himself, and knows the time and situation, there is really too much for me to learn." ”

Shi Xianli's heart moved slightly, thinking that the current imperial pavilion in Beijing was still empty, but the adults under the door were in charge of political affairs, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, you will eventually become a ruler." ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and scolded: "Don't test me, I don't have that interest, I don't have that ability, governing a country, where will it really be as simple as boiling a small fish? ”

Shi Yanli said with a smile: "Teacher's words are interesting, but just mentioning these two places is enough to envy others." ”

"Tell you a piece of news, and you will know that after your father-in-law told him to grow old, he was not ready to re-establish the post of prime minister at all. ”

Fan Xian stood up, leaned on crutches, moved to the window, pushed the window to smell the breeze coming from the snow, and said quietly: "Mr. Hu, the old man of the Wenge Pavilion, has been ordered to get up and go to Kyoto." ”

Shi Yanli was shocked: "Which Mr. Hu?"

"How many others?" Fan Xian didn't turn around, and said lightly: "When you and I were still naughty children, Mr. Hu who urged improvement." His Majesty passed him into Beijing as a scholar, and after rì, he was in the middle of the door, and he didn't have the position of the official Shangshu Yan Xingshu, and Qin Heng also had to be his Kyoto garrison, and the door was in the middle of the book...... is led by a few university scholars, and there is no possibility of resetting the post of prime minister. ”

Shi Xianli was silent, and only after a while did he sigh softly: "In the past, I only knew how to study and serve the court, but now I know that the affairs of the court are really complicated, and outsiders can not speculate. ”

After a while, he became happy again, although these things he heard today could not be passed on, and it did not help Taixue's advertising career in the slightest, but these secrets have never been passed on to the second ear, now that the master has sued himself, in the future, if he has the opportunity to compile it into the national history, or publish a "Notes on the Mountain Residence of the Master of Banxian Zhai", there is no doubt that he will leave a name in the history.

Of course, the doorman must be the victor of history.

Thinking of this, he was a little faintly excited in his heart, but he listened to the door master looking out of the window for some reason and laughed: "Do you know that Dean Chen's real age is younger than His Majesty?"

Shi Lili's heart of joy was retracted, and he was surprised, he had seen Chen Pingping from a distance, and knew that the dean was old and longzhong, and he looked like he was about to go to the loess, was it even younger than His Majesty Xià who was in the prime of life?

"One month younger. Fan Xian said with a smile: "The government is too complicated, and there are too many hearts, so it will naturally become like this, and I doubt that I will not grow old in the future." ”

Outside the window, there was a bleak snow, the laughter of the girls playing mahjong came from the end of the pillars, Roujia's girl came with a dead face, Ye Ling'er, a thief with bold nerves, also rushed back from Dingzhou, Fanfu's Beizhuang in Cangshan is always so lively in winter, compared with last year, it seems that there is only one less little fat man in Northern Qi.

Fan Xian squinted his eyes, facing the cold wind blowing in his face, and was completely silent in the opposite of the joy at home, working for the emperor in this shit court, just like Chen Pingping, it was really a very sad job. Everyone seems to have several faces at the same time, everyone doesn't know what kind of cards they hold in their hands, Fan Xian doesn't know what other people's hole cards are, so he has always held his hole cards firmly in his hands, and will never play them lightly.

With the sound of rustling, Deng Ziyue came to the front of the house wearing a black snow coat, and was about to knock on the door, but found that the window was open, and Fan Tisi was waving there, he was slightly stunned and walked over, and said in a deep voice: "The follow-up manpower of Xinyang has retreated, and the dean sent Zong to chase after him and followed. ”

Fan Xian nodded, the official named Zong Chai and Wang Qinian are called wings, what they are best at is tracking, he is not worried about the safety of this person, looking at the paper bag that Deng Ziyue is holding in his hand, he naturally stretched out his hand.

The paper bag contained three proposed intelligence analyses and correspondence.

Deng Ziyue's face became a little strange, and he smiled and said, "There is one from the north." ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and scolded with a smile: "Big man, don't learn from those women and parents. ”

Deng Ziyue handed the paper bag to him, covered his mouth, turned his back and left.

Looking at the funny appearance of this subordinate, Fan Xian couldn't help but laugh again.

Under the pretext that Kyoto wanted someone to watch, he drove Shi Xianli out of the door, he broke the first fire paint on the outside of the big paper bag, and pulled out a stack of letters from inside, he flipped through it slightly, and found Haitang's letter unexpectedly, Deng Ziyue was so strange before, naturally for the sake of this letter.

The fire paint of the Supervision Institute is made of rosin and silver vermilion, no lamp coal, the safety factor is higher, and the envelope is also particularly seamless, so there is no need to worry about someone skillfully opening it on the way.

First read the news of the Kyoto Qinian group, and then looked at the information presented by the three places, Fan Xian nodded with satisfaction, the progress everywhere was very smooth, Yan Bingyun started very quickly, the Cui family was in a catastrophe, the news spread to Jiangnan, and even the Ming family, the in-laws of the Cui family, began to transfer their goods, and this trick hit the mountain and shook the tiger, and began to work.

Finally, after glancing at the hospital newspaper, he picked up the letter sent by Haitang, which is his principle that things should be done first and then privately. But when he finished reading Begonia's seemingly ordinary letter, he regretted that he had read it late, even if it was only for a short time.

Because the content of the letter was so shocking! Fan Xian's slender fingers pinched the thin letter paper, and he couldn't help but tremble, and his face was solemn.
