Naturally, it is impossible for all the 10,000 garrisons sent by the state to be arranged in the east, although this city is the largest city in the world, and it is not too difficult to supply the logistics camp of 10,000 soldiers. However, due to some inexplicable reasons, the barracks that should have been renovated in five days have not been completed until today, so part of the Qingjun army is only temporarily stationed in the temporary camp.

In the end, there were more than 5,600 people left in Dongyi City, and the rest of the people were stationed in various princes and small countries, thinking that they were suppressed and deterred.

That night, the eldest prince who attended the banquet did not rush to rest, but waved his hand lightly to Fan Xian, and the two flashed into a quiet study.

The eldest prince was silent for a moment, and finally took out a letter from his bosom first. Fan Xian glanced at it, and caught a glimpse of the format of this letter, and was about to kneel down to meet His Majesty's secret decree, but was unexpectedly stopped by the eldest prince.

"Just the two of us, why let our knees suffer. The eldest prince shook his head slightly.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, then laughed slowly, and then stopped making a big salute, took the secret decree of His Majesty from his hand, opened it, read it carefully, and then fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time.

"I'll go back to Beijing first, and then you will be here for me for three months. His Majesty the Emperor's tone in the letter was very gentle, and there was a kind of appreciation for Fan Xian, Fan Xian's mood was very relaxed, and his tone was very relaxed, and he said to the eldest prince: "This arrangement works, the problem is that if you return to Beijing in the future, I will pick you up again, will the two of us go on a business trip in Dongyi City forever?"

It is necessary to conquer Dongyi City as calmly as possible. Let Nanqing's national strength, financial and military strength suffer as little loss as possible. The eldest prince and Fan Xian, the two emperors have sons of Dongyi blood. Without a doubt, it is the best choice.

Although during the opening ceremony a month ago, the suicide note from Si Gu Jian pulled Fan Xian to the road of Dongyi people one by one, pointing at the emperor's heart, but His Majesty the Emperor is a man of great wisdom, how can he not understand this. Instead, he went with the flow. changed his original mind and really sent the eldest prince to come and station with the Qing army.

Whether it is the eldest prince or Fan Xian. All of them are half of the Dongyi blood. This is for the conquering of the hearts of the people of Dongyi. It is the supreme weapon, at least for the conquered people. Whenever I think of the powerful people of Qingguo who are pressed on their heads, they are also half of the Dongyi people. I think the mood will be much better.

Especially the eldest prince, he is a genuine prince. His biological mother's background is known to the world, and his residence in Dongyi City can also represent the integration of blood and blood between Nanqing and Dongyi, and he really wants to conquer a territory. Bloodlines are mixed. Undoubtedly, the most powerful weapon.

His Majesty the Emperor has seen it far-reaching.

However, it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to allow the eldest prince and Fan Xian to stay in Dongyi City for a long time. One is that he only has these two adult princes under his knees, and he needs them to be by his side to take care of the political and military affairs of the dynasty. The second son was too far away from Kyoto. The two princes who obviously didn't have much taste of the Li family, Emperor Qing was also a little worried.

Regarding this worry, Fan Xian knew it. So he wasn't too surprised by the secret decree, he just had a headache, and the eldest prince came. I'm leaving, so what will I do?

"There is always a need for someone to be stationed in Dongyi City. He looked at the eldest prince and asked, "What is Your Majesty's plan?" ”

"I don't know. There was a faint worry between the eldest prince's eyebrows. He was not an ordinary Qingguo official and ordinary people, although he was also extremely happy and shocked that Fan Xian was able to persuade Sigu Sword without blood, ambush Jianlu, and then swallow the people of Dongyi City into the territory of Daqing, but he thought more about whether this process could go on smoothly.

Especially outside Dongyi City today, although the 10,000 Qingguo Iron Cavalry was very effective in deterring most of the Dongyi people, the performance of the disciples of Jianlu made the eldest prince a little vigilant.

He glanced at Fan Xian deeply and said, "Regarding the matter of the Sword Ludi, although Your Majesty did not say it explicitly, it is obvious that he is a little unhappy about this move. ”

"At that time, I had no choice, either I would take over the sword house, or I would have to start from scratch. Fan Xian sneered and said, "Are you willing to be a fat meat caught in a hard bun?"

"Father's meaning is very clear, at least you have to go back to report on your work......" The eldest prince's brows furrowed slightly, and then he sighed and said: "I'm just here to replace you temporarily, and my father won't rest assured that I will stay in Dongyi for a long time." ”

Fan Xian fell into silence, knowing that the eldest prince was telling the truth, the eldest prince has always been a little close to Dongyi City, after all, Ning Cai has been mentioning his life for so many years, and he has military power in his hands, His Majesty would rather stay in Dongyi City by himself than trust to hand over Dongyi City to the eldest prince.

It is not difficult to cut the soil and seal the king, but what kind of land to cut and which king to seal is the difficult thing.

"Anyway, Your Majesty didn't rush me, I'll stay in Dongyi City for a while to help you close the situation. Fan Xian said: "When the situation stabilizes, I will return to Beijing." ”

The eldest prince nodded, and then said: "The Supervision Yuan still needs you to be in charge, and my father will probably not let you stay in Kyoto all the time, you will find out what arrangements will be made here in Dongyi City after you return to Kyoto." ”

"Are you worried that Your Majesty will send a strong person over and provoke a rebellion among the people of Dongyi City?" Fan Xian looked at him with a smile and said, "With my arrangement here, don't worry too much about you, half of Dongyi people." ”

His tone became serious: "Even if you are worried, you have to bury it in your stomach and not let people see it." ”

The eldest prince knew that this younger brother really cared about him, and his heart was moved, and he nodded.

"Is Chen Pingping ready to leave?" Fan Xian took a sip of cold tea, felt that his mouth was a little dry, and raised his eyes to look at him, this eldest brother and Chen Pingping had an extremely close relationship, and he must be very clear about the movements in Chen Yuan.

"I have already started to prepare, and I have entered the palace to resign a few days ago. "The eldest prince didn't know that Dean Chen, who he regarded as his father and uncle, had been rebellious to his father and emperor in private, and he didn't take this matter seriously, but just thought that Dean Chen was old. It is also time to provide for the elderly. And when I think of Dean Chen leaving Kyoto, I don't know if I will see him again in this life. The eldest prince was a little confused in his heart.

Fan Xian was silent, calculated in his heart for a long time, no longer paid attention to this question, and finally asked: "The army that came to Dongyi City this time is really all the army that conquered the west back then?

"The soldiers are all old men. The problem is that there are a lot of strangers in the middle generals. The eldest prince's eyes narrowed slightly. Wei Han said.

......

......

After a few

However, it was a lot of anxiety, those cumbersome handover ceremonies. The name change ceremony took place in one place, but fortunately, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple sent a large number of capable officials. So that Fan Xian was not made to vomit blood by these things.

However, what really made him anxious was a popular rebellion in Xiaoliang Kingdom, northwest of Dongyi City, in which the people were mobilized to resist the invaders of Qingguo. A deeply admired Liang Guoda set himself on fire on the street. Black smoke rises. It immediately ignited the hatred of the people of Xiaoliang Country.

Only then did Fan Xian truly realize how naïve his original thoughts were. To truly conquer foreign lands. It's basically impossible to do it completely without blood.

The eldest prince had already led the army to suppress it, but before leaving, Fan Xian told him very seriously if he could not let the Qingguo garrison take action. Then you must not shoot. Once Qingjun's hands are stained with the blood of the Dongyi people, it will be even more difficult to wash it away. This hatred can no longer be dissolved.

The eldest prince sent a sternly written letter to the City Lord's Mansion of Dongyi City according to the plan, questioning the City Lord Yun Zhilan, and then drove the City Lord's Mansion as a pioneer. With the local officials as the vanguard, they began to suppress the turmoil in Xiaoliang Country, and the Qing army thought it was the rear formation. Keep a certain distance.

When the eldest prince and Yun Zhilan left Dongyi City, all the affairs were handed over to Fan Xian, and he hid by the sea that day. Thinking of the ups and downs of Dongyi City, the sparks that never stopped, my heart was bored.

Let the City Lord's Mansion suppress it, it should be better, probably like the puppet army in the previous life? Fan Xian sat on the big bluestone by the sea, and laughed a little bitterly, knowing that no matter how much he tossed, no matter how much he tossed the sword's last words and how the disciples of the Sword Lu cooperated with him, he still couldn't change, and he was the evil invader in the hearts of the people of Dongyi City.

"What do you want to do with the affairs of Xiao Liang Kingdom?" Wang Shisanlang, who had become more and more silent in the past few months, was sitting beside him at this time, and suddenly asked, "Do you want the army to slaughter the people?"

"The City Lord's Mansion does not have a large army, and having land is just a powerful position that has been extended over the years. Fan Xian knew why Thirteen Lang asked this today, after all, the other party was a Dongyi person, but at this time, he wanted to suppress the turmoil in Xiaoliang Kingdom, which seemed to him to be very righteous, and his mood must be very complicated. After a pause, he said softly, "I have an explanation, try to kill as few people as possible." ”

"But after all, there are still dead people, and when the sword moves, how can you control it?" Wang Shisanlang's eyes were a little confused, just staring at the ups and downs of the waves on the sea.

Fan Xian glanced at him sideways, his face gradually became solemn, and asked, "Do you know the great Confucian who self-immolated and died?"

"In the past, Mr. Gu often came to Jianlu to talk to Shizun. Wang Shisanlang replied.

Fan Xian shook his head and said: "There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world, although I have not seen this Mr. Gu, but this must also be a great figure, the rebellion of Xiaoliang Kingdom started because of him, but I can't cure him, as for his family, you can rest assured, I will keep them, and Mr. Gu's ancestral hall will be erected as soon as possible afterwards." ”

Wang Shisanlang looked at him in a daze, and after a long time, he said: "You don't really respect him, you just need to put on this posture to appease the people of Liang Kingdom." ”

"It's a trick that all aggressors do. Fan Xian's expression was a little gloomy, "But you can think of this, it makes me a little surprised, thirteen, you are getting more and more difficult." ”

"Seeing so many things that no one can make it simple. Thirteen Lang stared into his eyes and said, "You once promised Shizun not to let the people of Dongyi City bleed. ”

"I don't like to see bloodshed, otherwise why would I have been tied to this carriage by your sword house?" Fan Xian laughed at himself, but his smile gradually became cold, "But the necessary blood always has to flow, otherwise if it keeps going on in chaos, it will be like a whirlpool, which will only swallow the entire Dongyi City, and by that time, there will be more deaths." ”

He looked back at Wang Shisanlang quietly, and said: "I know what you are angry about, and I also know what you are sad about, but you look into my eyes and think about what I have paid for, don't forget, if only from my personal interests, the Qing army comes to attack, I will get away with it, at most cry for the innocent people of Dongyi City, why do you suffer like this?"

"If a big battle breaks out between the two sides, Dongyi City will be defeated, and the number of dead will be 100,000. Fan Xian closed his eyes and said: "My philosophy of life is very simple, since this matter can't be stopped, then the fewer people who die, the better." ”

"There is no difference between the lives of ten people and the lives of ten thousand. Wang Shisanlang said.

"Wrong!" Fan Xian said categorically: "I don't care if life has a price, I only know that a person's life is unique, and 100,000 is absolutely more important than ten, hundred, or thousand." ”

"If God had given me a multiple-choice question, comparing the lives of 100,000 people to 99,999 people, I would definitely choose the former, because there is one more former. ”

"The people of Dongyi City should learn to be grateful to me. Fan Xian looked at Wang Shisanlang's eyes and said calmly: "I let many people who were bound to die survive. ”

Wang Shisanlang was silent for a long time and said, "But these people don't need to die in the first place. ”

"Your Majesty's cause requires them to die, and they must die. Fan Xian stood up from the big bluestone, "Even your master can't stop him, you should understand my pressure." ”

Fan Xian patted the sand behind his buttocks, squinted at the endless sea, and said, "Sometimes I find myself almost tall. ”

"What do you mean by Gao Daquan?"

"An inhuman description. Fan Xian shrugged his shoulders, "But if you think about it, I'm not Gao Daquan, I'm just willing to do it, I won't be martyred for some kind of ideal, some kind of spiritual need, such as self-immolation like that Mr. Gu, I am a person who can run away and is good at escaping." ”

Then he turned around, looked at Thirteen Lang and said calmly: "That day, I was talking quietly with Si Gu Jian in the house, you should have heard what we talked about, do you have any understanding of the domineering true qi?"
