Chapter 22 The Thunder of the Son of Heaven and Fan Xian's Lost Cards
(I took a look at it before writing, and found that Wang Yu'er's 曈字 showed a different body, maybe it was too biased, and it was a very beautiful meaning, and now it seems that I don't know if it should be replaced with a pupil.) In addition, I would like to report to you: I am very serious about booking a monthly pass after the 28th, because I want to enter the top three, clench my fists, and whisper hard. )............ Fan Xian has been in the imperial study for a long time, and at the beginning, of course, he chose the most important thing to say, and now Qingguo's most concerned thing is, of course, about the situation on Xiliang Road, and the plan that His Majesty asked the Supervision Yuan to prepare four months ago. Fan Xian talked eloquently all the way, and His Majesty the Emperor listened quietly, without a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and even gave Fan Xian a few rare words of relief, saying that he had worked hard.
Feeling that the environment is suitable and the timing is just right, Fan Xian's eyes rolled, and he took this opportunity to say a few words of gossip about His Royal Highness's concubine, the main purpose of this gossip is completely different from the response method he discussed with the prince in the palace, and he directly humiliated the Miss Wang family with words, and at the same time expressed his strong willingness to be a courtier and unwilling to participate in the family affairs of the royal family.
As Fan Xian expected, His Majesty the Emperor was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded him one after another, pointing out the identity of Fan Xian Taichang Temple Zhengqing, and then said cruel words about the princess's concubine. This storm did not make Fan Xian a little afraid, he has been with this unfathomable emperor Lao Tzu for a long time, although he has never been able to see the deepest part of the other party's heart, but at least he has a clear understanding of his people's preferences, but such a vigorous reprimand often means that things are not strict.
Sure enough, Fan Xian took the opportunity to propose that since he was the Zhengqing of Taichang Temple, and His Majesty was going to match Miss Wang to the eldest prince, he had to think about the face of the Heavenly Family, should he teach Miss Wang some things - these things should usually be done by the old lady in the palace, but Fan Xian, a young man, snatched it over, which was inevitably a little funny - but His Majesty the Emperor did not laugh and directly asked Fan Xian to leave this idle matter alone, but he was not angry.
I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor has long known the story at the gate of the palace, and has already guessed why his most painful son insisted on not allowing it before, and what benefits he asked for.
When Fan Xian was at ease for a while, he heard the words China Merchants Qianzhuang.
These four words were like a deep imprint, which burned his heart at once, making him lower his head and be silent for a while. He knew why the emperor chose to let him confess to China Merchants Qian Zhuang at this time, because he had become accustomed to this sudden thunder in the past two years.
If it weren't for his thick skin, I am afraid that he would have been scorched by Lei in the past two years.
Fan Xian thought in his heart, although His Majesty the Emperor loved himself incomprehensibly, and allowed himself to be chic and arrogant among the Qingguo government and the opposition, he still did not forget to beat himself from time to time.
yes, this is the striking of a king against his nearest one, to wake him up, lest he get carried away and mislead the affection between the king and the prince or the father and the son. After quelling the rebellion from Kyoto, whenever Fan Xian made great contributions to the imperial court, or was heavily rewarded by His Majesty, His Majesty would throw out some things or names lightly, so that Fan Xian was terrified and understood his position.
The stick that the emperor used to beat Fan Xian in the court was the officials of He Zongwei's faction, but the Jiao Lei that he really knocked out in private was the things that Fan Xian did in secret.
Counting carefully, the things that have served as the thunder of the Son of Heaven in the past two years include the details of Xia Mingji, the relationship between Xia Qifei and Jiangnan Water Village, the smuggling of Fan Sizhe's kid in the north, and the first thunder about Xu Maocai's impure mind, and why Wang Shisanlang defected to Fan Xian, and so on, and so on...... Every thunder hit Fan Xian's heart, beating him cold, he didn't seem to have any secrets in front of His Majesty, if these crimes were really turned out, they would all be killed. Of course, he knew that Emperor Lao Tzu was reluctant to use these charges against himself, and was just reminding himself. But even so, he was still cold, and he felt that the Grandmaster Emperor on the dragon couch could swallow himself with a random breath.
Fortunately, Fan Xian is not an ordinary courtier, in the face of the thunder of the Son of Heaven, his way of dealing with it is also unparalleled in the world, just blindly relying on his own cheekiness, he absolutely admits the guilt that should be admitted, but he continues to do what should be done, anyway, the emperor Lao Tzu doesn't want to kill him, so he continues to mess around like this.
It's just that I can't mix it up today, because China Merchants Money Village is too important to Fan Xian, whether it is the use of the Supervision Yuan, or the money moved to Dajiang to repair the embankment, the Hangzhou Association presided over by Wan'er to do good deeds, and even the luxury life of the entire family and Chen Yuan, all of which come from the income of China Merchants Bank.
The most important thing is that there used to be millions of taels of silver hidden in the Merchants Money Village, once it was known, this crime of betrayal would not be able to hide no matter how Fan Xian pretended to be a filial son.
A few lines of cold sweat slipped down his back, three years ago, when he accepted the old man of the Ming family, who was not afraid of boiling water, China Merchants Qianzhuang was forced to come to the forefront, and he guessed that this matter would definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and the household department did not transfer so much silver, and the emperor would definitely think about where the silver in the money came from.
Fan Xian made a lot of preparations for this secret, and confirmed that the accounts in the north had been cleaned up. In the past, His Majesty the Emperor had also inquired about the source of the silver coins of China Merchants Zhuang, but at that time, Fan Xian used the most famous rumor in the world to prevaricate the past - everyone thought that the mysterious shares of China Merchants Qian Zhuang were the secret wealth saved after decades of heavy operation under the command of the Jinyi Guard of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
But today the emperor asked in person, and also pointed out that Miss Shen Jia, who had been married to Yan Bingyun for less than three months, was naturally told to Fan Xian, Miss Shen Jia has always been in your control, but it has also been in my eyes, the Shen family's inheritance is a bluffing reason, don't move out today.
There were two more lines of cold sweat behind Fan Xian, but it was already late autumn and early winter, although there was a fire in the imperial study, it was still cold, and the official uniform he was wearing was quite thick, and there was no trace of it for a while, and his face was still strong and calm: "Your Majesty, what do you want to explain?"
The emperor's face sank, and he didn't like such a private conversation, and this kid actually wanted to get by.
How did he know that Fan Xian was beating the drum in his heart at this time, secretly thinking that the little emperor in the north would not hold a grudge against himself for wantonly sniping the Northern Qi spies on Xiliang Road, so he threw out the secret agreement of the year and killed himself with the hands of Emperor Guò Qing? Could it be that the Northern Qi side hated himself so much? He was willing to spend such a big price to get rid of himself?
Fan Xian's face could no longer remain calm, his forehead was slightly oozing with sweat, and he thought to himself that since that little monster in Northern Qi dared to throw a knife, who knew if he dared to throw the money bank?
At this moment, at a glance of his spare eye, he saw the obvious dislike on the face of the emperor's majesty, and when he saw this dislike, Fan Xian's heart was overjoyed.
If Emperor Lao Tzu really knew the inside story of this matter, and wanted to take down himself and use his cultivation as the state of mind, how could he be so "sincerely" disliked.
Fan Xian smiled embarrassedly, coughed dryly twice, and said, "The first amount of silver from China Merchants Bank...... It is indeed not the treasure of the Shen family, but ...... Minister's own private money. ”
That's a brilliant answer.
If an ordinary minister heard this, he would definitely scold Fan Xian for being shameless and disgusting, China Merchants Qian Zhuang had millions of taels of silver as the bottom at the beginning, who could have so much private money? But when Emperor Bisheng heard this, he obviously showed a look of understanding in his heart, and said lightly: "Sure enough, when will the fifth child hand over this money to you?"
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and replied respectfully: "That is, before going down to Jiangnan, Uncle Wuzhu knew that I wanted to use money. ”
The emperor looked at him and shook his head, and said, "The fifth child is also messing around, what is such a large sum of money to give you a little child." ”
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that the emperor's majesty was really as he expected, thinking of the old Ye family back then, but his face was still with a strange smile, as if he was slandering the emperor's majesty with this money, and it seemed that he was slandering his majesty, Jiangnan Neiku had already earned a few millions of taels of silver for him after he took over, and he was still not satisfied.
The emperor obviously saw what Fan Xian's expression was hiding, and reprimanded him in an angry whisper, and only after a moment did he suppress his anger and said unintentionally: "Originally, this inner library was left by your mother, can I still afford to look down on those millions of taels of silver? It's just the silver that your mother left you, don't spend it indiscriminately." ”
Fan Xian didn't dare to slack off, and quickly explained the use of the money in the investment bank, these things are actually very clear to His Majesty the Emperor, but it is always better to make it clear at this time, and it will not be able to turn over the old accounts in the future.
The emperor touched the beard under his chin with satisfaction, nodded, and said: "Of course, it is excellent to do good deeds, and the morning girl is also a person who can do things, you don't keep locking her in the mansion, when she is fine, let her enter the palace to accompany me." ”
Fan Xian secretly thought that he had never locked up his wife, she was now busy taking charge of the clan affairs of the entire Fan family, and because of the rebellion in Kyoto, it was inevitable that she would have some resistance to this emperor's uncle, and she was unwilling to enter the palace.
"Deal with the things in the west. The emperor stood up, suddenly thought of something, and asked unintentionally, "Where did the fifth child go?"
"I don't know where my uncle has gone. Fan Xian also quickly stood up and said, "We met two years ago." ”
"This kid always likes to play missing, how can he learn to have the same temper as Uncle Ye Shi?" said the emperor with a little headache, and then waved his hand and motioned for Fan Xian to go out.
............ The door of the imperial study was finally pushed open, Fan Xian walked out with a calm face, saw Eunuch Yao waiting on the side, and nodded. Eunuch Yao hurriedly bowed and bowed, and asked in a low voice, "How is Your Majesty in your mood?"
Fan Xian smiled, the clouds on his face quickly turned into a piece of sunshine, extremely bright, but his mood was a little heavy - every time he entered the palace to meet the emperor's majesty, it was his suffering, the kind of ubiquitous pressure and the sense of authority of the imperial grandmaster made him very sad, especially to bear today's unexplained thunder from time to time, it was really unpleasant.
Especially today, the emperor asked about the whereabouts of Wuzhu, Fan Xian couldn't help but sneer in his heart, now the two great masters of a foreign country are dead and one is abolished, and Ye Liuyun's existence seems to be unnecessary for Qingguo, this person who is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, after assisting Emperor Qing to complete the situation of Dadong Mountain, he really drifted away, of course, it is impossible to appear again, and the emperor asked about Wuzhu, although it is natural, but Fan Xian knows that the emperor has always been secretly wary and wary of Uncle Wuzhu.
As for why this happened, Fan Xian certainly knew it in his heart.
Walking along the long eaves of the Taiji Hall to the high imperial city, his face gradually calmed down, like today, the private conversation in the imperial study has been carried out many times, from the discomfort when facing the thunder for the first time, to the ease of dealing with it now, Fan Xian doesn't know how much he has grown.
Standing at the high Tai Chi Highness, looking at the stone steps engraved with Long Yun, Fan Xian took a deep breath, letting the cold air of early winter quickly enter his chest, and the cold was extremely comfortable.
The things that the emperor knew were things that Fan Xian was not afraid of letting him know, and although these thunderbolts were terrifying, they could not break the hard shell of Fan Xian's heart. He still has many secrets that he still successfully conceals from the emperor, such as China Merchants Qianzhuang, such as several big shopkeepers who reported the death of Qingyutang, such as the true whereabouts of Uncle Wuzhu, such as a small domestic company controlled by Dongyi City, and some kind of small workshop that is slowly taking shape.
For example, there is a soul in his body that does not belong to this world, for example, he knows how another similar soul appears in this world movingly, and how it makes people sadly disappear in this world.
These are all unknown to the omnipotent Emperor Qing, and this is also Fan Xian's hole card. His Majesty the Emperor didn't know that his two biggest cards, the box and Uncle Wuzhu, had already left him and didn't know where to go.
His eyes narrowed, looking at the sturdy imperial city on the other side of the long imperial road, his gaze crossed the city wall, and through the cold clouds in the sky, he seemed to see some of the past many years ago, as well as the bloody battle two years ago.
The eunuch and palace maid who was walking quietly in the palace looked at the young man of His Royal Highness Taiji, and hurriedly bowed down, but she was wondering in her heart, what was Lord Xiao Fan in a daze?
Fan Xian's gaze passed through the clouds, and seemed to fall on the extremely distant northern snowfield, as if he saw a man with a black cloth on his eyes, carrying a box, walking lonely and resolutely towards the unknown magical place.
With every step of the man, he stepped through countless snowflakes, and with every glance, he saw through the infinite illusion.
Fan Xian smiled softly in the shadow of the palace, and sincerely wished Uncle Wuzhu to find himself, which may be the most important thing in his life.
............ Today, the best restaurant in Kyoto is Yishiju, although the owner of this restaurant is no longer the Cui family under the protection of the eldest princess, a long time ago, the Cui family was uprooted by the Supervision Yuan for smuggling to the Northern Qi, but the business here is still as good as ever.
Taixue students and scholars from other places like to visit the most popular is the Shobo Bookstore, you must know that under the severe crackdown of eight places, there has been no aunt in the streets and alleys of Kyoto for several years holding her child and selling red treasure books.
The inn with the best business is the Tongfu Inn, the tofu shop with the most customers is the private property of the Fan family, and the Qinglou with the most prosperous business is the highest-end ...... Of course, it's Baoyue Tower.
Kyoto tour, now Dayi, is often to eat on a stone house, stay in the Tongfu Inn, eat a bowl of bean curd on the way, walk into the bookstore to buy two books, and then go to the moon building at night to hug a few beauties into the arms, the happiness of life seems to be complete.
The reason why this is so is undoubtedly because of the person named Fan Xian.
Yishiju is the beginning of Fan Xian's legendary life, from Lanzhou to Kyoto, his encounter with the prince of King Jing and He Zongwei began in this restaurant. With the status of these three people now, Yishiju naturally has a sense of magic, of course, the most important thing is the story of Xiao Fan's black fist shocking Kyoto, which has been spread by countless storytellers all over the world.
Tongfu Inn is the birthplace of the four sons of Fan Men, and the other three are Fan Xian's industries. Let's not repeat the series of halos on Fan Xian's body, because this is a very tiring thing. You only need to pay attention to this fact to know Fan Xian's prestige and status in the entire Qingguo now.
There are many people who hate Fan Xian, and there are many more people who love Fan Xian, but few people will have such complicated feelings about him like the owner of the medical hall opposite the Bookstore.
The medical hall has just been purchased, and it has not yet opened, and the medicines seem to be stacked in a random and orderly manner.
A girl wearing a plain brocade single jacket was holding her chin and was in a daze in the room full of the smell of medicine, but she didn't notice that there were too many idle people outside the medical hall, if it weren't for the guards of the palace and the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan, I am afraid that those people would have crowded into the medical hall long ago.
Master Kuhe's close disciple, Miss Fan's amazing medical skills, and Xiao Fan's favorite sister, finally left Qingshan and returned to his hometown of Qingguo Kyoto, and began to miss some people in the surprised gaze of the people of Kyoto, and in the smell of medicine full of strange fragrances.
Some people are far away, walking alone on the snowy field, and some people are about to come to her.
