Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sunny After the Autumn Rain

Fan Xian walked down the street a little unconsciously, the rain soaked into his clothes, and it was wet, but his heart was still on fire. At this time, he looked at the streets of Kyoto, the four-wheeled carriages walking on the streets, the glass windows of the rich people's homes on the streets, and the kaleidoscopes and slippery soaps that he had seen in the past...... All these things connected to him in this moment.

It seems that all these things are imprinted with the smell of mother! The smell of that woman is everywhere on the street, in this house, and in this world.

The letter ended with the words: "The old lady is very lonely. ”

Before today, Fan Xian was also lonely, but from today on, he is no longer lonely. He laughed loudly in the rainy street, and the laughter spread far and wide, waking up some pedestrians who had already fallen asleep early on a rainy night.

Someone scolded him.

He was still smiling.

Ye Qingmei is definitely not the little girl shown in the letter, this Fan Xian firmly believes that his mother has an extremely strong heart, so that she can have such a brilliant life in this completely strange world, through the unfamiliar sunshine.

This familiar and unfamiliar Qingguo, you are sorry for the woman named Ye Qingmei.

The rain hit Fan Xian's face powerfully, he was like a monster, and the dark **night* (forbidden books please delete)* (forbidden books please delete) gradually merged, maybe this box is not fundamentally helpful for his life, but it is a feeling of not being alone, let him walk in this world, this rainy night, will become more and more comfortable.

Fan Xian walked alone in the wind and rain, but laughed, since he was going to live a round life, he had to live a more chic life, just like he said to his sister at the beginning, when we look back on the past, don't always feel that there is the word aggrieved written on your face.

The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad and murderous.

――――――

Naturally, it is impossible to settle the matter of entering the palace at night, and the Kyoto garrison Ye Daren, who has never officially appeared on the stage, received the imperial order. An investigation into the matter began. Although his official position was to guard Kyoto, in recent years he had been leading the Dingzhou to the west to protect Kyoto, and when he rushed back to Kyoto, it had already been three days.

The discerning people in the palace naturally knew why His Majesty chose him, firstly, because the Ye family was favored by the emperor and was loyal. The degree of trust by His Majesty is only below Chen Pingping. And Lord Chen Pingping, naturally, it is impossible to drag his mutilated body to investigate this matter that seems to him to be a big sesame thing. The second reason is that the top three figures in the palace guard system seem to be under suspicion.

Ye Zhong also knew that this matter was very complicated, Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the inner guard, was discovered by the eldest princess many years ago, and he was known as the first in the palace with martial arts, but the deputy commander Gong Dian was his junior brother, and the father-in-law Hong, who had never been inconspicuous in the mountains and waters...... Exempt. Even Ye Zhong didn't want to provoke.

And Ye Chong didn't suspect these three people at all, he was just curious about what kind of purpose the second person who infiltrated the palace was, and why he killed the eldest princess's personal palace maid outside the Guangxin Palace.

The investigation was carried out in secret, and the Supervision Yuan provoked the anger of His Majesty the Emperor due to the leakage of the leader of the Northern Qi secret spy, and it was also a little weak to cooperate, so it was difficult to make substantial progress at all.

Until one day, Ye Zhong came to Hanguang Hall after carefully checking several palaces. Then I smelled a faint fragrance, and immediately thought of the old poison that followed His Majesty in the military tent during the Northern Expedition. Reminiscent of what the guards said, when the night assassin came, the Northern Qi master Zhuang Mohan was also in the Guangxin Palace, and Ye Chong, who knew the cruelty of the palace struggle, guessed the matter and was abnormal.

So he immediately entered the palace to ask His Majesty the Emperor for his resignation, and fell to the ground, full of shame.

"I can't find out. Still don't dare to check?" Your Majesty's face has always been the kind of smile that seems to see everything, and the real ministers occasionally wonder if this is a means of the emperor, but Ye Chong knows what kind of wisdom his loyal majesty has, so he replied very honestly: "The minister can't find out, and the minister doesn't dare to investigate, the royal matter, the foreign minister is really inconvenient to start." ”

"Ye Qing's family, aren't you afraid that I will reprimand your lord for being disloyal, not separating public and private, and not sparing your life?"

Ye Chong was frightened and didn't dare to get up, so he responded: "The minister doesn't dare to guess His Majesty's intentions, but he is stupid and doesn't know where to start."

"There is no need to investigate this matter, the union has its own measure. His Majesty's smile was a little cold, but Ye Zhong knelt down but didn't see it clearly.

......

On the other hand, the real suspect Fan Xian is still hiding in the house these days, mainly because after the earthquake of his poetry, he went to Taichang Temple to drink tea, or went to Honglu Temple to watch coldly, which has become a very extravagant imagination.

The sentence has been over, the Northern Qi mission has already left Kyoto, but Dongyi City is still delayed for a while.

After the rumors really faded, the Dongyi Castle Mission left Kyoto with some unpleasantness after leaving a lot of silver. They didn't know that Qingguo's failure to imprison all of them after the incident of visiting the palace at night was the result of His Majesty the Emperor's magnanimity.

Today's Fan Xian can really be described as a famous Jinghua, and no one only focuses on the forces behind him, but on himself. After all, he is the only one in this world who can provoke a generation of Zhuang Mohan to vomit blood on the spot, not to mention that he is so young.

It seems that it was discussed, the crown prince and the second prince increased their efforts to woo him at the same time, Li Hongcheng often brought Roujia to the house to drink tea, and Xin Shaoqing also came to visit under the pretext of not seeing him for many days.

But Fan Xian still had a lot to do at this time, so he pushed both sides for the time being. In the night banquet plan, he only completed two parts, one was to successfully find the silver key, and the other was to almost successfully frame Yun Zhilan in Dongyi City, which made the imperial court increase the intensity of surveillance, so that this nine-rank master was so anxious that until he left Kyoto, he could not have the idea of finding himself to duel at all, so as to ensure the safety of his life.

found that the eldest princess colluded with Northern Qi to spill this material, but he had been waiting for the right time to sprinkle it into the pot.

Two days after the Dongyi City delegation left Kyoto, Fan Xian knew that the time had come.

The secret agreement between the eldest princess and the young emperor of Northern Qi, Fan Xian had no way to use it to beat people, because there was no documentary evidence and no one to prove this kind of thing. Fan Xian didn't dare to meet the saint in person, although with his current reputation in Beijing, it was not difficult to meet the saint. But he has a very complicated inference about the emperor in his heart, and he can't guarantee that the emperor will kill himself after knowing about the scandal of the eldest princess in order to maintain the face of the royal family.

If it is an ordinary Qingguo citizen, after encountering this situation, he can only hide this secret in his heart forever, and he will not dare to tell others for the rest of his life, and he will vomit blood and die.

But Fan Xian won't, he is a person with two lifetimes of memories and two lifetimes of knowledge, he knows the importance and lethality of public opinion propaganda, and he also knows that he should use more crazy means to deal with a crazy eldest princess.

After the night banquet, the related industries of the Nishiyama Paper Mill and the Inner Library, which monopolized Kyoto Paper, still touched the business of the Shobo Bookstore from time to time, but the eldest princess had no way to instruct the eight departments of the Supervision Yuan, so it was just a small knock. And Fan Xian understands very well that this is just the tranquility on the eve of the storm.

And he decided to strike before the storm came.

That night, Wuzhu stood in the corner and listened to him, since opening the box, Wuzhu had come to Fan's Mansion significantly more often, and seemed to be more worried about Fan Xian's safety. Fan Xian said while thinking: "If you want to leave no traces, then you can grab everything." ”

Gotake leaned sideways, indicating that he understood what he meant.

Fan Xian continued: "These days, it is the Xishan Paper Mill and Wan Songtang in the Inner Library that are suppressing the business of the Tranbo Bookstore, so we have to grab the paper in the Inner Library and then use the ink of Wan Song Tang. It's just that...... Uncle, has anyone in this world read the words written?"

Wuzhu said coldly: "Don't worry." ”

Fan Xian knew that his seemingly useless and ridiculous plan would definitely work, and said with a smile: "Flyers don't need to be too big. He gestured the size with both hands, "The key is that there are more copies, and they must be pasted everywhere and sprinkled, especially if they are like Taixue, and there are more copies of the teaching institute that has been changed back to Wenyuan Pavilion, there are a few more copies of them, the students are young and enthusiastic, and they are the most likely to be provoked, and those bachelors in Wenyuan Pavilion also like to play with a bone, and it is estimated that after seeing the leaflets, they will be so angry that they will pull out their beards." ”

Wuzhu said coldly: "Content." ”

Fan Xiantao raised his eyebrows and sighed: "I really look like an underground party member." ”

He began to recount in detail how the leaflet should be inflammatory, and he must tell some details that seem true or false, such as how the eldest princess talked to Zhuang Mohan, how Yan Bingyun lurked in Northern Qi, how he was ruthlessly abandoned by the nobles in the palace, what kind of benefits did the eldest princess hurt the interests of the court, sought her own interests, what kind of benefits she obtained, how many fake eunuchs she raised in the palace, and how many old lovers outside......

Wuzhu calmly parted and said, "No one would believe that the eldest princess would sacrifice such a big benefit, just seeking some monetary benefits. ”

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows again and said, "There are not many smart people like you in the world, as long as the people believe it." As for the Emperor, we can give him a wake-up call. ”

Wuzhu said coldly: "The emperor doesn't need you to remind him. ”
