Chapter Twenty-Eight: Drama to Winter

"You do this kind of thing with your mouth, but I do it with my hands. Fan Xian stood up, glanced at him, and said, "Think about it carefully, if I kill you, will Your Majesty let me pay for your life?" ”

As soon as these words came out, He Zongwei fell silent, and after a while, he took a deep breath, and a blush of shame gradually appeared on his slightly dark face.

Since entering the court, he has had a smooth journey, and he has won the trust and grace of His Majesty, and the respect of his subordinates and colleagues, but in the face of the little grandfather in front of him, he has been ridiculed and embarrassed.

He is now the minister of the middle school under the walking door, up and down the government and the opposition, except for Fan Xian, who else dares to speak to him in such a tone, and dares to threaten him with life and death. But He Zongwei also knew that in the face of Fan Xian, he had no way at all, and he didn't say any nonsense such as saints, just talking about the blood relationship between the other party and His Majesty, which was something that his courtier would never be able to achieve.

He Zongwei just didn't understand, why Lord Xiao Fan had such a strong hostility towards himself, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were a little incomprehensible, if it was the fall of Lin Xiangye back then, but it was the eldest princess who controlled it, and He Zongwei was just a small chess piece at that time, and he had not yet entered the court. And it was clear afterwards that these were the will of His Majesty, how could he blame his own head?

He couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, how did Lord Fan's hostility towards him arise? Sometimes, when He Zongwei dreamed back in the middle of the night, he would feel that the bed was cold and wet, and he had been in the court, but he knew that Fan Xian had been looking at him coldly behind his back, and it was really uncomfortable to be watched by such a cold minister.

According to the theory, He Zongwei knew that Fan Xian hated him, he should not have any thoughts about Miss Fan. It's just that he always thinks that His Majesty's will is better than a qiΔ“, and he also wants to use this family affair to express his heart to Fan Xian, and at the same time be able to ease the relationship between each other, if he really becomes the brother-in-law of Xiao Fan, then he shouldn't have to worry about the cold eyes behind him all the time, right?

But the most important reason why He Zongwei has the courage to catch up with this marriage is because he has always been longing for Fan Ruoruo, and this idea has been going on since five or six years ago, and it has never weakened a little.

So he has been single and unmarried all these years, just like the son of the world, in fact, the reason why the two men did not marry is exactly the same.

However, he didn't understand Fan Xian after all, and he didn't know the reason why Fan Xian hated him, because he saw this person's fanatical eyes on Ruoruo when he was under Yishiju.

It's really a crime for no reason, it's pitiful, the little desire in his heart, today was finally struck into a glass heart by Fan Xian's very direct words.

............ Fan Xian said, "Don't come to the hospital again. ”

He Zongwei's heart was pounding, it was really difficult for him to give up Miss Fan. Although this character is average, it is deeply rooted in love and a little infatuated.

"I understand what the little grandfather means. He Zongwei stood up, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "I will enter the palace in the future, face His Majesty, and push this marriage." ”

Fan Xian looked at him and shook his head, and said, "The will of the palace has not yet come out, where do you need to push it?" I went to cry in front of my majesty, and said aggrievedly that I was not worthy of Miss Fan's family, and I wouldn't say a word of bad things about me, but when I saw your appearance, I knew that I was bullying you again. ”

"Whoever I fan idle bully, whoever becomes popular, this is the current situation. He looked at He Zongwei and laughed at himself and said, "I want to take advantage of this incident to make Your Majesty pity your loyalty even more?"

He Zongwei finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, looked at Fan Xian coldly, and said, "What does Grandpa want me to do? This is not good, that is not good, do you have to force a minister to death to be willing." ”

"You said it yourself. Fan Xian looked at him sarcastically, "On the eve of the big day, Scholar Hu personally came to the mansion to make peace for you, and last night, Zeng Wenxiang, the former scholar of Jixian Pavilion, your private teacher back then, with Scholar Pan Ling, also came to advocate for you." Lord He is now in full bloom, three university scholars have come forward to protect the media, and I am a supervisor in my district, where do you dare to persecute you. ”

Hearing this mean sentence that was neither salty nor light, He Zongwei could not suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the little grandfather, what did I do wrong to offend you?"

Fan Xian sneered slightly and said, "I don't want to see you, it's your fault." ”

"Lord Xiao Fan, Zong Wei is a courtier of His Majesty. He Zongwei laughed angrily and said coldly: "Even if you are in power, you are just a courtier of His Majesty. If you threaten the officials of the imperial court on the street and don't take your majesty in your eyes, aren't you afraid that your majesty's will will come down and take you from the position? ”

Fan Xian was not angry, just stood quietly opposite him and said softly: "Everyone understands this truth. Three years ago, the second prince once said exactly the same thing as you in the tea shop in Baoyue Building. But don't forget that now he is lying in the grave while I am outside. ”

After saying this, Fan Xian left the restaurant, what should be said to He Zongwei, what should be said to this person, he has done it in place, as for whether the other party is willing to accept it, it is the other party's problem.

―――――――――――――――――――― returned to Fan's mansion, and sure enough, he saw Ruoruo being surrounded by Wan'er and Ye Ling'er, whispering something, which was very unnatural, and Li Hongcheng, who snatched her back to the mansion, didn't know why he left and was not in the mansion.

Seeing Fan Xian come back, Lin Wan'er looked at him and shook her head helplessly, probably because of her sister-in-law's marriage, the city was full of wind and rain, and she felt helpless. And Ye Ling'er just glanced at Fan Xian, but did not rush forward as Fan Xian expected, and asked him, as an elder brother, how could he not even do this little thing.

It seems that love is really gentle...... Fan Xian didn't ask where Wang Shisanlang was, he couldn't help but smile, beckoned to his sister, and the brother and sister entered the No. 2 study.

"Is Hongcheng afraid that I will beat him, so he ran away first?" Fan Xian and his sister sat opposite each other and asked softly.

Fan Ruoruo's face blushed slightly, after all, riding with a young man on the street is indeed an extremely shameful thing. After calming down for a moment, she said softly: "There is something in the palace, he will leave first." ”

Fan Xian nodded secretly in his heart, he was worried about his sister being angry with Hongcheng's Meng Lang's actions, but it seemed to be okay, seeing it like this, Li Hongcheng's ruffian methods were not necessarily a bad thing.

Fan Ruoruo suddenly came to her senses, looked at Fan Xian in a daze, and said, "Brother was there just now?"

Fan Xian was stunned and said with a smile: "This matter spreads quickly, and everyone in Kyoto knows that the prince has returned to Beijing and is robbing his daughter-in-law with Lord He, of course I know." ”

"Hongcheng is also doing his best. Fan Ruoruo was slightly angry and said, "There are still so many patients waiting to be treated in the medical hall. ”

"Those things will be talked about later, the sick in the world cannot be broken, and you cannot treat them all day long. Fan Xian looked at his sister, and Yan asked: "I know that He Zongwei often goes to the hospital these days, and I want to ask you a word, what is your attitude towards His Majesty's marriage." ”

Fan Ruoruo didn't think about it, and said calmly: "My sister doesn't want to marry yet." ”

These few rì He Zongwei has been going to the medical hall for non-demonstration sit-in, and he is gentle and elegant enough, sincere, if Fan Ruo is not a woman living in a vacuum, of course, she also knows that there are gossips about her recently, and she also knows that her brother is worried about this matter, so she will naturally explain it clearly to He Zongwei. It's just that He Zongwei is still indomitable, playing the god of the dead pig who is not afraid of the hot, and wearing a sincere mask, Fan Ruoruo is not good at picking up a broom to drive people like Si Zhe.

"Okay, if you don't want to marry, then don't marry. The calmness on Fan Xian's face was not pretended, "You know that my brother seems to be gentle, but in fact he is a bit domineering. I don't like He Zongwei, even if you agree to marry her, I will beat the mandarin ducks. ”

Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but glared at him, and muttered in a low voice, when he was a child, he still said that he was in love, but now he only knows domineering.

But how did she know that when the two of them were telling ghost stories when they were young, Fan Xian, who was more than ten years older than her, had already naturally had the feeling of taking a girl.

If his daughter wants to get married, how can a father believe in any nonsense about falling in love - Qingguo doesn't have it, that world doesn't have it, and the whole universe doesn't have it.

After a while, Fan Ruoruo fell silent, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, nervous and complicated, making her no different from the woman next to her in this world. After a long time, she suddenly sighed, looked at Fan Xian and said, "Brother, am I very reckless?"

If it is placed in other powerful mansions, or even anywhere in the world, Fan Ruoruo's choice of life, marriage and love will be very different. She first rejected the marriage request of the Jingwang Mansion, fled Kyoto, studied art under the Kuhe Sect for several years, and now refused the second marriage of the emperor's majesty.

Resisting the decree and refusing to marry, in the feudal imperial society, of course, will bring a lot of danger and inconvenience to one's family, for the sake of one's own life, and the family is in turmoil, I am afraid that everyone will think that this practice is an extremely arbitrary and irresponsible move.

But Fan Xian is everyone in this world, he is the only person in this world, the only person in this world, the only man who has seen xìng Zhengzhì, so he never thinks that his sister's decision needs to be criticized in the slightest.

The woman surnamed Ye may have seen it many years ago, but she has left after all, so now Fan Xian is the only one standing in the world very strongly, in the way of supporting her sister Ren Xìng, to reminisce or recall the beautiful world where marriage does not require the name of the elders, that beautiful world that is at least more equal in some aspects.

"Are you stupid?" Fan Xian's face turned cold, and he said sternly: "I have taught you since I was a child that my happiness is greater than the sky, and there is nothing worth making any sacrifice or concession except for what we are really willing." The way of loyalty and filial piety is to be taught, but in the face of your own happiness, it is not worth mentioning. ”

"But isn't this a very selfish approach?" Fan Ruoruo was not frightened by his brother's cold face, and said with a raised face very seriously: "Because of my affairs, the house is not peaceful, and the whole Kyoto is in an uproar......"

Before she finished speaking, Fan Xian had already waved his hand to stop, frowned and said, "You are the girl I brought up, although the time you have been with me is not as long as Sisi's big girls." But you know I have high hopes for you...... I just want you to be different from the average woman in this world. ”

"What is Ren XΓ¬ng?" Fan Xian squinted his eyes and said, "Father and Nǎinǎi are both in Lanzhou now, and I am the only one in the capital who is in charge of you, what are you afraid of?" As for selfishness, I am an extremely selfish person, especially when it comes to family members, you should know this very well. ”

Fan Ruoruo bowed her head and was speechless, but her eyes gradually became wet, only she knew how long she had been thinking about her marriage since her brother entered Beijing, and in order to refuse the proposal of King Jing's mansion, he even did not hesitate to reach an agreement with the Northern Qi people, and he also wanted to change himself to the Kuhe Sect as an apprentice.

It seems simple, but in fact, Fan Xian has paid too much effort and price for this, and every time he thinks about it, Fan Ruoruo always feels that his brother is too careful. The heavier the guilt in her heart, the more she can feel her brother's affection for her fists, and the girl's family is mixed with all kinds of tastes in her heart, which words can clearly explain.

After ――――――――――――――――――, Fan Xian seemed to have forgotten about the marriage in the palace, but Shen was in the supervision courtyard and Yan Bingyun arranged the affairs of Dongyi City, and the affairs of Xihu had laid a good foundation, even if Shan Yu Subida and the begonia Duoduo who was alias Songzhi Xianling were capable, but the spies in Dingzhou and Qingzhou had been wiped out by the Supervision Yuan, and the grassland had fallen back into an unstable state because of the violent death of King Zuoxian, and the western part of Qingguo could finally breathe a sigh of relief。

Today's affairs of the Supervision Yuan are actually handled by Yan Bingyun. Every time he thinks about this, Fan Xian can't help but feel lucky for the decision to go to Beijing to rescue Xiao Yan Gongzi, his ability lies in assault, duel and judgment of the general situation, and Bingyun is the best candidate for specific planning and execution of the plan.

Without Yan Bingyun's help, Fan Xian would not have had the means to control such a huge supervision system.

Things have already proved this, and after Fan Xian entered Beijing, the actual writers of the several major actions of the Supervision Yuan were all Xiaoyan Gongzi who was fluttering in white and clearly distinguished from the black official uniform of the Supervision Yuan. The only time Fan Xian decided on his own plan was the matter of the Jiaozhou Navy Division's Qing Army, and this operation was criticized by Chen Pingping afterwards, and his face was full of blood.

Therefore, after Fan Xian told Yan Bingyun about His Majesty and his intentions, he no longer cared about Dongyi City, but just quietly entered the palace with Wang Shisanlang.

Although Fan Xian and the emperor are still engaged in a cold war because of Ruoruo's marriage, but when it comes to the affairs of the court, neither father nor son will choose to be angry. Now that the emperor had secretly known about Wang Shisanlang's existence, Fan Xian would not make big mistakes in these small places.

Regarding the marriage, although the task of fighting in the ring with His Majesty has now been handed over to the Jingwang Mansion, Fan Xian still watched with concern.

Fan Ruoruo still goes to the hospital every day to take care of the patients, but the prince Hongcheng has a cold face, standing outside the hospital, this prince may have felt great anger at the news of the marriage in the palace, that face sank to the extreme, and the patients who came and went to the hospital couldn't help but feel the chill on this nobleman.

Li Hongcheng is now the number one person in the Dingzhou military, and he has rarely returned to Beijing to report on his work once in the past three years, but he willingly stands outside a medical center as a bodyguard. The dignified general came to be the door god, and all parties in Kyoto felt a hint of coolness, and even Scholar Hu stopped talking more nonsense to Fan Xian.

He Zongwei did not give up the idea in his heart because of Fan Xian's intimidation, but he went to the hospital a few times, but was coldly kicked out by Li Hongcheng. The small medical hall has become a wrestling field between ministers and generals, but He Zongwei is a civil minister after all, where can he beat the martial artist pretended to be Hongcheng.

There is a medical center...... It has become a scene in Kyoto.

When Fan Xian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that what Old Master Lu said was right, words are always not as powerful as fists, and he smiled for He Zongwei.

In fact, in these days, He Zongwei once entered the palace once, and probably expressed his intention to refuse to marry. This did not surprise Fan Xian, with He Zongwei's hard work, of course he would not miss such an opportunity to hit Fan Xian, even if Fan Xian had reminded him, he still did not give up.

Sure enough, when His Majesty the Emperor saw He Zongwei's gloomy appearance, he guessed that Fan Xian had secretly inhumanely intimidated his cronies.

Fan Xian just listened expressionlessly, resisting with silence as always. Marriage is just a trivial matter, but His Majesty's intention to take advantage of this matter completely crush his heart defense and make him a foolish and loyal minister who only knows how to be afraid of it, is an arrangement that he absolutely cannot accept.

He was not very afraid of the displeasure of His Majesty the Emperor, because now it was different from the past, and now the Supervision Yuan and the Inner Treasury in the hands of Fan Xian provided the most important order and financial support for the healthy development and maintenance of the Qingguo Imperial Court, and even the emperor knew this very well, knowing that he was becoming more and more inseparable from this proud illegitimate child.

It's just that for Emperor Qing, the more he admires Fan Xian, the more he hopes that Fan Xian can reveal all his thoughts to him and obey all his arrangements. Because he always felt that An Zhi, a child, was sometimes a little screwed, a little too detached, and even faintly felt like he wanted to jump out of his palm.

This feeling was not very comfortable for a powerful king, so he wanted Fan Xian to give in.

............ Entering the winter moon, Fan Xian still did not give in, he still carried King Jing's Mansion to fight with the palace. The marriage between the two families of He Fan gradually subsided after a lot of uproar, because there was no follow-up will in the palace, and the god of Shizimen was still indifferently looking at all the doctors and patients who came in at the hospital, and those poor poor patients, if there was a surname He, would take a pseudonym and go to the doctor.

The only person in the world who is not afraid of His Majesty the Emperor is probably King Jing, after all, he fought with his brother many times when he was a child, even if he didn't win a few battles, but his fist at least tasted the taste of dragon meat, once he got close, he had less fear. What's more, King Jing has never interfered in court politics in his life, and his majesty probably always feels a little guilty about this only younger brother, so in addition to frowning, it is impossible to come up with more punishments.

And Li Hongcheng led the army in Dingzhou for three years, taking the lead in the soldiers, killing the enemy in blood, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, he has a clear body, he is going to rob He Zongwei for his daughter-in-law, what can the emperor Xi Γ  do?

The first snow fell in Kyoto, Fan Xian sighed at the white mist, stood beside the carriage, and said to Wang Shisanlang beside him: "The things that should be said have already been said, I Daqing can give some pressure on the City Lord's Mansion, but there is nothing I can do about the differences within your Sword Mansion, and you must not want me to interfere." ”

Today, Wang Shisanlang is going to leave Qingguo, return to the sword house of Dongyi City, and accompany his mentor to complete the last journey of his life. Fan Xian deliberately took the time to come to see each other, and the two were isolated in the snow, and there was a conversation without a match, of course, most of the words were said by Fan Xian.

"I'm waiting for you in the Sword House. Wang Shisanlang carried the package on his back, held the green flag tightly in his hand, looked at Fan Xian and smiled gently: "Come early." ”

Fan Xian also laughed, the matter of Dongyi City, after Wang Shisanlang entered the palace, His Majesty finally nodded and gave full authority to himself, and the initiative was finally confirmed to be held in his hands, and he was in a really good mood.

"Thank you. Fan Xian paused slightly, and then said, "I hope I don't have to thank you in the future." ”

Wang Shisanlang was stunned, only then did he understand what he said about the word thank you, shook his head, and walked into the wind and snow.
