Chapter Seventy-Two: Planning
Through GuΓ² Yan Bingyun's narration, Fan Xian knew what happened at the beginning, and it was like that.
After Qingguo's three northern expeditions, the Zhan family took advantage of the situation and established the state of Qi, but the founding emperor died twelve years earlier, leaving only the Empress Dowager and the then emperor in the empty palace.
Although Qingguo stopped the pace of going north, the vicious Chen Pingping naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, and secretly funded and instigated some princes and warlords of the former dynasty in the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and finally formed a situation of forcing the palace. Seeing that the queen mother and the emperor, the orphans and widows, were about to be pulled out of the palace by the rebels, at this time, Kuhe lived in the palace as a handsome friend of Zhan Qingfeng.
At that time, 3,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the palace, and Kuhe sat in front of the main hall, behind which were the poor mother and son, and a large number of eunuchs and palace maids trembling and holding candlesticks and brooms.
In the face of countless guns and arrows, Kuhe sat alone in front of the hall, and no one dared to do it again.
Then Empress Dowager Wei's own brother, the current Marquis of Changning, climbed out of the sewer hole in a corner of the palace, secretly contacted the Shen of Jinyiwei, entangled a group of forces loyal to the royal family, and returned to the palace, so that the situation in Beijing of the Northern Qi Dynasty was stabilized under dangerous and dangerous circumstances.
Afterwards, Kuhe did not pursue the matter, and the Queen Mother also remained silent, although the princes and nobles who tried to force the palace were fine at the time, but the queen naturally did not end well.
So no matter from which point of view, in fact, the Queen Mother can still sit in the palace safely, relying on the prestige and unfathomable strength of Kuhe at that time.
............ "The bitter lotus is very **." Fan Xian patted his leg and exclaimed: "One person is blocking thousands of troops and horses, although tens of millions of people are going to me, it is magnificent." β
Yan Bingyun glanced at him, and felt that the other party's speech was really a bit vulgar, and he didn't seem to have much respect for the four great masters admired by the world: "As one of the four great grandmasters, Kuhe is beyond the world, but if he makes a statement, no matter who he is, he must be afraid of one or two." β
Fan Xian shook his head: "Those fools who force the palace, I don't believe that ten thousand arrows are fired at the same time, what else can the bitter lotus do." β
"Kuhe swore a blood oath at that time, if anyone dared to sit on the dragon chair, he would kill anyone. Yan Bingyun suddenly felt that the Lord Tisi in the courtyard was a little naΓ―ve, "With the terrifying strength of the bitter lotus, in this northern world, of course, you can kill whoever you want." If you can't even save your life, one moment your butt just sat on the dragon chair, and the next moment your head and body are separated, who would be willing to do this kind of emperor?"
"Great Grandmaster?" Fan Xian frowned, feeling for the first time that this kind of existence that was beyond the realm of mortals was indeed quite troublesome.
"What's the matter? Master Fan is young and promising, and he doesn't even care about the Great Grandmaster?" Yan Bingyun glanced at him indifferently.
Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything, he had only seen Ye Liuyun alone among the four great grandmasters in the world, and at that time he only thought that the other party's singing was quite good, as for Uncle Wuzhu, who was nameless, but actually had the same pattern as these four great grandmasters...... Fan Xian grew up with him since he was a child, so he naturally couldn't feel excited.
"Let's move on to Shangjing. Fan Xian raised his hand to signal, "If the Queen Mother listens to Kuhe, and Kuhe wants Sean to die......"
Yan Bingyun interjected: "Why are you so sure that Kuhe wants Sean to die?"
"I have my intelligence sources. Fan Xian smiled, did not say anything about Begonia, nor did he say the secret of the temple, and continued: "Then the Uesugi Tiger will inevitably fall to the emperor and gather all the strength of the imperial party to save Sean's old life...... Lord Yan, let's see, can we make some benefit from this matter?"
Yan Bingyun shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "In fact, when it comes to strength, the Northern Qi side has always been not weak, and in the past four years, I don't know how many ...... But I believe that compared to our Qingguo, Northern Qi will never be able to take the lead. β
Fan Xian didn't know why he suddenly came to this conclusion, and was a little puzzled. Yan Bingyun laughed extremely happily: "Just look at the imperial court sending Sean back to Northern Qi, in more than a year, the balance and peace that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Northern Qi have worked so hard to maintain will be forced to break, and Xia Guan really admires it...... Admire the people in the court who planned this matter. β
The person who plots Sean's return is the eldest princess. Fan Xian's eyes were calm, but he was sneering in his heart, and said: "There is nothing to admire, you must know that this Tsubaki deal is at your expense." β
"What do you mean?" Yan Bingyun frowned.
Fan Xian said: "It was the eldest princess who single-handedly sold you to the Northern Qi Imperial Court, and then arranged with Uesugi Tiger to exchange Sean back to Northern Qi...... Even if there is some turmoil in the Northern Qi court because of Sean's matter, how much waves do you think it will really set off? You are just a chess piece played by nobles, and the chess piece should have the consciousness of a chess piece, and people like you who still admire the hand on their head, I really don't understand. β
These words were a bit stinging, Fan Xian did it deliberately, he wanted to plant the seeds of hatred for the eldest princess in Yan Bingyun's heart. Unexpectedly, Bingyun's face was quiet, as if he didn't hear it, but continued to plan: "We can't interfere in this matter, Sean's life and death, since Kuhe has moved his heart, after all, the mission is in a foreign country, so it is categorically incapable of interfering, and there is no need to interfere." β
"I agree with you. Fan Xian looked at him, "But I still have one more thing, I need to listen to your opinion." β
Fan Xian told Yan Bingyun about Cui Gongzi a few days ago, Yan Bingyun's face remained unchanged, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Fan Xian was silent for a long time, but since he had already started, he would naturally continue: "According to the meaning of the courtyard, we will gradually reduce the benefits that Xinyang has obtained in the north. β
"What does the courtyard mean?" Yan Bingyun looked at Fan Xian's eyes and said softly, "I heard that Lord Tisi may be in charge of the inner treasury in the coming year. β
Fan Xian smiled as if he hadn't heard this: "Master Yan has been locked up for more than half a year, and the news is still very well-informed. β
............ After a long silence, Yan Bingyun suddenly said, "What are you talking to me about these things?"
"Because you are most familiar with the route in the north, if there is a day in the future when you need to close the net...... Then from now on, I must start to keep an eye on it, and without Lord Yan, I don't have any strength in the north at all. β
Yan Bingyun said calmly: "Master Fan looks up to the lower officials very much. β
"I never thought you were just a simple patient. Fan Xian said calmly: "I believe that if Lord Yan has this will, he is still a figure who can call for wind and rain in the north." β
"Why should I help you?"
"Because I'm your boss. Fan Xian's face gradually became cold, "I'm not asking for your help, I'm asking for your cooperation." β
Yan Bingyun didn't eat this at all, and sneered: "When Lord Tisi really takes over the Supervision Yuan, it's not too late for us to talk about this again." β
Fan Xian laughed, waved his hand and said, "I know that playing this set is useless." After a pause, he said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, the eldest princess is our common enemy, not only I need you, but you also need me." β
Yan Bingyun didn't think about anything, nodded indifferently, and then said very directly: "Since this is the case, then I must make it clear that your plan was completely wrong from the beginning. β
"Why?"
"If you want to gradually reduce the benefits that the eldest princess derives from smuggling, you shouldn't look for Shenzhong. β
"Shen Zhong is the commander of the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, all the way north, who can I find if I don't look for him?"
Yan Bingyun looked into his eyes and said, "Shenzhong, Marquis Changning, these are the empress dowager's cronies...... Their trade with the eldest princess has been going on for many years...... If you want to start anew, why not go to the young emperor. β
Fan Xian sighed and said, "Because I can't see the emperor's mind clearly." β
"The Emperor of Northern Qi is a very pure person, a person who is easily excited. Yan Bingyun held up a finger, "Pure radicals need silver." β
Fan Xian looked at him, and said after a while: "I trust you." β
"For now, I deserve your trust. Yan Bingyun said.
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although the world today is theirs, it is ours after all." After saying this, he left the room, leaving behind him to reflect on the strange words.
βββββββββββββββββββββ for three days in a row, the mission was still dealing with diplomatic matters with the Northern Qi. Fan Xian was conspiring with Yan Bingyun in the room, and gradually Yan Bingyun no longer hid anything, and combined the information he had with his analysis, which clearly established the guiding ideology for Fan Xian's future actions.
It's better to be quiet than to move, Xinyang uses the procrastination trick on the side, and the Queen Mother also uses the procrastination trick on the side, but in the palace, you need to find a way to contact it. Fan Xian once thought about whether he should visit the Uesugi general, but was stopped by Yan Bingyun indifferently.
Yan Bingyun thinks that there is no need to do these things at all, if the other party needs it, he will naturally come to the door, what Fan Xian did after entering Beijing, in Yan Bingyun's professional eyes, is really a mess.
Fan Xian was silent and taught, knowing these things, he was indeed inferior to Yan Bingyun. In addition to chatting, he also talked about reintegrating the Northern Spy Network, but Yan Bingyun was obviously not worried about his ability, so he never let go.
After eating, Fan Xian suddenly spoke: "That Miss Shen is very capable, she actually knew that you were hiding in the mission, and she came to the door again. β
Yan Bingyun's face was as cold as ice, and he was as ruthless as a flowing cloud, and said lightly: "Notice Shen Zheng, he will deal with his daughter's affairs." β
Fan Xian glanced at him, really not understanding how this young official could sharpen such an indifferent and ruthless mind.
