The edict caused chaos in the court, and the ministers gritted their teeth to resist, as if everyone had this edict. However, through the words of Scholar Shu, it was clear to everyone that the edict that could at least remove the crown prince from the horse in name was still in the hands of the Duke of Fan Xian at this time.

For the time being, let's not depict the magnificent scene of the sword-rattling tent in the Taiji Palace, always ready to splash blood, and the forces that are bent on helping the crown prince ascend the throne, including the eldest princess who lives behind the scenes and seems to have done nothing, but is actually the source of the palace chaos, are all sniffing the smell in Kyoto, trying to find the place where Fan Xian is hiding.

Catch Fan Xian, kill Fan Xian, nail Fan Xian, and destroy the edict, then no matter how chaotic the court is, there will be no chaos, and the two scholars of Shuhu have lost their last reliance, no matter how strong they are, it is impossible to mobilize the ministers against the imperial power again.

In the Taiji Palace, it was officially announced today that Fan Xian was the culprit of the murder of the monarch and plotted against the great evil, and those forces outside the palace had already pursued and assassinated Fan Xian for an unknown number of days. However, Kyoto is too big, and the resources in the hands of the eldest princess can even faintly control Kyoto, but it is impossible to find the trace of Fan Xian among thousands of people.

Even the eldest princess had no way to stop Fan Xian from secretly meeting with Shu Wu on the eve of the prince's accession to the throne, and secretly did so many things.

No one knows where Fan Xian is hiding.

......

......

A remote alley, a little far from the center of Kyoto's imperial power and not close to Kyoto's most luxurious mansions, but it is remarkably quiet. The sad and frightened atmosphere of Kyoto people on the street is impossible to enter this alley, and only a few green trees sway freely in the early autumn weather.

The alley is called Lamb Onion Lane, a very humble name.

At the end of the alley is a small courtyard, which was bought by someone who bought it two years ago. More than half a year ago, a woman moved in with a few people. I don't know what the identity of that woman is, but she can buy such a quiet courtyard. However, for most of the year. No visitor has ever been here.

In the palace today, there is a life-and-death battle going on, but the culprit who caused this incident is to blame. At this time, he sat quietly under the tree in this courtyard and enjoyed the shade, drinking hot tea. While looking down and thinking about something.

Fan Xian wore a green cloth robe. There was a slight movement on his face. Although it is not a little less heroic. But it makes the whole person look more solid. Fingers gently turn the slightly hot cup. He suddenly frowned, and said to the beautiful woman beside him with beautiful eyebrows and deep eye sockets: "Except for Prince He, who else knows about your courtyard?"

The beauty pursed her lips and shook her head, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement. She looked at Fan Xian, the legendary king-killing thief, and she was not afraid at all.

Yes. This small courtyard was secretly purchased by Fan Xian back then. A year ago, it was given to the top secret place of the great prince's golden house.

And the beauty whose appearance is very different from the dignified woman of Qingguo is naturally the princess of a certain tribe in Xihu who followed the expedition to the west and returned to Beijing, and the girl who has troubled Fan Xian for a year in the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition to handling Deng Ziyue. No one knew that it was Fan Xian who bought this small courtyard. And after this courtyard was transferred to the eldest prince. With the temperament of the great prince who is afraid of internal shame. It is impossible to spread it around. So Fan Xian connected with the ministers last night. Didn't go back to the inn. Instead, he chose to come to this small courtyard, not worrying about being guessed by the eldest princess at all.

There were people staring at the Fan Mansion and the Supervision Yuan all around. Yanfu and Wang Qinian's family are afraid that they are all staring at the masters of the inner court. Fan Xian didn't want to take risks. Only this small courtyard in Lamb Onion Alley. in order to ensure his safety. It also made it easier for him to communicate with that key person.

Hearing Masoso's curious answer, Fan Xian's brows furrowed and he stood up from his chair. Calmly looking at the back door that was open on the left side of the alley.

Because he heard that someone was walking towards this courtyard, and the person who came was obviously not waiting for the prince himself.

......

......

When there were a few sounds, a creak, and the wooden door of the nameless courtyard was unlocked from the outside and pushed open. Masoso watched in amazement. I couldn't help but cover my mouth. The underground people in this courtyard were all bought by the young master of the Fan family, and no outsiders have ever come to this courtyard. Who is this man?

She turned her head to look at Fan Xian and shouted in a low voice, "Young Master, run!"

Fan Xian did not run. Just looked at the woman who walked in at the back door and smiled, the emotion in the smile was very complicated, and then he reached the ground and said, "Say hello to the princess." ”

The person who came was not and the prince. Instead, with the princess and princess, the princess of Northern Qi.

The eldest princess had a calm face, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she looked at Fan Xian silently. After a while, he saluted and said, "I've seen the little grandfather." ”

Fan Xian gave up. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he thought that he was waiting for the boss in the courtyard, but he waited for this one. It can be seen how much the eldest prince is afraid of internal fear, and even reported his own small golden house to the eldest princess.

"Soso, you go in first. Fan Xian waved his hand. Knowing that the princess did not want to see this Xihu Zhimei, she motioned for Masoso to take refuge in the inner room.

The princess came here single, and although she was not deliberately dressed in disguise, she was obviously arranged. Fan Xian looked at her quietly, stretched out his hand to invite her to sit down, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The princess is so bold, she knows that the palace must be staring at Prince He's mansion. I dare to come here single. See me. ”

After contacting Wenchen last night. Fan Xian wants to contact the place most is to hold the ban

The prince, however, is rumored to have been accused of the Hanguang Palace, and the inner court of the Prince's Mansion and the Kyoto garrison. So Fan Xian found a way to leave a message in the palace, hoping that the eldest prince could find a way to contact him.

But I didn't expect that it was the princess who came today.

"Xiao Fan is a heavenly hero...... the princess smiled in response to his words, "I know that the forces in Kyoto are very anxious, and I know that the crown prince is on the throne today, but Your Excellency can sit in the small courtyard of one side of the gold and watch the development of the situation, I really don't know if you are confident or at a loss." ”

"It's not true to be confident, and it's false to be at a loss. Fan Xian looked at the princess's gentle face and whispered, "If you don't have an idea, why would you alarm the princess?"

The princess responded in a harmonious voice: "The situation in Beijing is critical now. My lord is in charge of the guards of the forbidden army, and he will definitely not be able to return to the house, so if Lord Xiao Fan wants to meet him, he is afraid that it will be a little difficult. It's just that I don't know what difficulties Lord Xiao Fan has, I took the liberty to come to see it, and I hope that Lord Xiao Fan will not be surprised. ”

Fan Xian fell into silence, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "Celestial princess." Now I am a murderer of kings and rebels. If you dare to come to me, ask me what is in trouble. Then you will understand what I mean. ”

The princess's eyes were slightly confused, and she didn't know how to answer this for a while.

Fan Xian lowered his head and thought for a while. approached the princess's side by half a foot, and said softly: "I don't know if the princess still remembers, when she went south from the Northern Qi, inside and outside the carriage. What have you and I ever said?"

The princess was slightly stunned. immediately smiled: "The agreement will naturally not be forgotten, but it is just one time and another." The situation in Kyoto is too dangerous right now. The prince is all supported by the forbidden army in his hands, if the adult really wants to do big things, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to do it. I'm a woman. It is even more impossible to accept. ”

"Struggling to support?" Fan Xian laughed softly: "What the princess said about the replacement of the Kyoto garrison yesterday?"

The princess fell silent.

Fan Xian sighed because the Kyoto garrison was replaced. This can be regarded as a stab at his own vital point, and also a stab at the weakness of the eldest prince.

Previously, the Kyoto garrison had been under the control of the Ye family, and later it was controlled by Qin Heng, the leader of the second generation of the Qin family, for two years. Until a few years ago, because of the sniping in the valley, His Majesty took advantage of the topic to clean up the distribution of forces in the DPRK and China, and transferred Qin Heng to the Privy Council as a deputy envoy. The Great Prince, Xie Su, the deputy marshal of the Western Expeditionary Army, was appointed as the commander of the Kyoto garrison.

However, all this has changed yesterday, after the Queen Mother stabilized the palace. The first will of the earth. It was to withdraw Xie Su directly. Qin Heng returned to the position of commander of the Kyoto garrison again!

Xie Su was innocently evacuated, but because of the assassination of His Majesty, the pressure on the forbidden army was very great, and he couldn't speak at all. Moreover, this fierce general in the Western Expeditionary Army was in charge of the Kyoto garrison for only half a year, and he was unable to form his own power at all, so the Qin family took it back as soon as he changed hands. The Great Prince and Xie Su had no choice at all.

Fan Xian also had a headache about this matter, the control of the Kyoto garrison changed hands, not to mention the major matters suggested to him by Xu Maocai, the sailor of Jiaozhou, and if it was the peripheral military strength of the entire Kyoto, it was already under the control of the Qin family.

He glanced at the princess, frowned, and said, "The Kyoto garrison is stationed in Yuantai, as long as there is no problem with the Thirteen City Gate Divisions, it can solve the general situation in Kyoto...... It's still a forbidden army. ”

"I have never forgotten my promise to you. The princess looked at him and said quietly, "However, you have returned from Dadong Mountain. But I don't know how strict the palace in Beijing is now, and the prince can barely control the forbidden army now, that's because the queen mother's ancestor didn't make an order......"

Fan Xian was silent.

The princess continued: "Why does the Queen Mother rest assured that my prince will be in charge of the forbidden army? because she knows that the prince is a straight lover, and he will not stir or rebel......

Without waiting for the princess to finish speaking, Fan Xian had already laughed: "The current situation is. Someone in the palace is rebelling. ”

The princess smiled bitterly: "The question is. Who sits in the Tai Chi hall. Who is qualified to judge who is rebelling. If you are in the palace at this time, next to the Queen Mother. Reading the edict that has been preached today, I can guarantee that my lord must be your strongest supporter. ”

......

......

"Take out the edict. The princess suddenly opened her mouth and persuaded: "No matter from which point of view, at this time, the edict will be made public, and there is still a lot of power to fight, otherwise you can only passive." ”

"No, there are many people who haven't moved yet, such as my mother-in-law...... Fan Xian said calmly: "The edict is on me, at least it can remain calm for a while, once the edict really comes out, then the two sides can only tear their faces and start a war." ”

The princess sneered and said, "It's all this time, doesn't the grandfather still have to keep the intention of being clear?"

Fan Xian laughed at himself: "I'm not a stupid person. The reason why the edict was not announced is related to what the princess said before, why is the prince silent...... Actually, it's all one. ”

He stared at the princess's eyes, and said slowly: "Ning Cai is in the palace, of course the prince can't do anything, don't forget, my lady and concubine are also in the palace, if you really want to start a war openly, neither I nor the prince can afford such losses." ”
