"The best time?" Fan Xian looked at his father confusedly, but for some reason, seeing his father so calm, his mood also relaxed, and he was no longer as anxious as in the mountains, laughed at himself, threw away the crutches under his armpits, and sat on the chair.

"Beware of your wounds. Fan Jian shook his head and said disapprovingly.

Fan Xian smiled and gently rubbed the bottom of his chest, there was a faint pain inside, but recently Mr. Fei was recuperating beside him, and he was almost fine.

"Tell me what you're afraid of. Fan Jianqing's long beard fluttered under his chin, and Lord Shangshu, who had always been square and serious, finally showed a chic feeling of being in his chest at this moment.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time, only then did he realize that he was indeed a little panicked, what was he afraid of? He sorted out his hidden worries in his heart, and said sincerely: "If this news spreads, the discussion of the people in the world will naturally be extremely turbulent, and the palace knows my life experience, and I don't know what to do with it." ”

"How to deal with it?" Fan Jian sneered: "Do you think that the palace still doesn't know your background until today?"

Fan Xian was silent, knowing that what his father said was right, he was a descendant of the Ye family, and of course the emperor knew better than anyone else, as for the queen mother...... Looking at the expression at the last winter solstice meat banquet, it is estimated that the old man has already made it clear, but this mother and son are hiding from the world.

"They want to hide it from the world, but now they can't hide it, and there will always be some changes in the development of things. Fan Xian said calmly: "Moreover, the queen knows that I am a descendant of the Ye family, what will she think? According to my father's words, there is an indissoluble grudge between the Ye family and her. ”

Fan Jian shook his head. Leng Ran said: "The queen doesn't need to think about it, this woman is the weakest queen in history, you need to think about it, but whether the prince of the East Palace will be moved by her to deal with you." ”

The Queen's family power. As early as more than ten years ago, in the bloody night of Kyoto, it had been completely cleared by Emperor Qingguo, and Fan Jian, who had always been inconspicuous, played the biggest role in it, so of course he knew that the queen couldn't make any moves at all.

"Prince. The corners of Fan Jian's lips flashed with a faint smile, "He is a smart person, with your current status and power, he just wants you to maintain your balance, where will he take the initiative to provoke you because of the events of the year." ”

Fan Xian lowered his head slightly. After a while, he said a few words: "Where is the eldest princess?"

As everyone knows, the Ye family's industry was pocketed by the Qingguo royal family and became today's inner treasury. In that year, the first merchant in the world was forcibly expropriated. The name used is naturally very terrible, such as rebellion and the like. And now there is suddenly a legendary orphan of the Ye family, so can you check the legacy of the year?

Even if you don't check, in the eyes of many people, the descendants of the Ye family are also the targets of the royal family. This is a historical rule, and no one will avoid it.

After the news spread that Fan Xian was a descendant of the Ye family, the eldest princess would definitely take advantage of this matter. Make a big fuss and force the palace to react accordingly. Tracing back to the seizure of the Ye family's property, according to the usual methods of the royal family, it would be good if Fan Xian was not secretly killed, let alone soaring.

Of course, the other half of Fan Xian's background is also wonderful, so he doesn't have to worry that the mother and son in the palace will kill him, and even the other party will not regard him as an object to watch out for, but he is annoyed. The world doesn't know that!

If the mother and son in the palace want to hide from the world for a long time, they can only treat Fan Xian as a simple descendant of the Ye family, and under the pressure of the canonical land, let Fan Xian and Neiku ...... Even the Inspectorate got rid of it. And for Fan Xian, who has already made countless enemies, it is really dangerous to lose the power in his hands.

"Eldest princess?" Fan Jian said without emotion on his face: "If she is smart enough, she will stand by this time and not make a move." ”

"Why?"

"Because of Your Majesty's mind. ”

Fan Xian pondered, and gradually understood what his father meant. Of course, the emperor is a person who knows his background, although he doesn't know what the emperor will arrange in the future, but at least for the moment, he has no plans to lift the flannel on the table. After knowing this, the emperor thought that the emperor would react the same as himself, and he should have felt a trace of anger and frenzy after being shocked.

The emperor and Fan Xian are both very fond of mastering everything, so they are very taboo about this kind of thing that is out of control. Therefore, His Majesty will be very angry, his first thought is to find out the person who leaked the secret, and if the eldest princess is desperate to attack Fan Xian at this time, the emperor will vigorously defend Fan Xian, and in his heart, the estrangement of the eldest princess is even deeper.

Fan Jian said lightly: "You are now the chief of the Supervision Yuan, and through your actions in the past six months, you have enough power in your hands. From Lanzhou to Kyoto, whether it is for my father or Dean Chen, everything we do is to build a stronger foundation for you...... Now that you are already a heavy stone, how can you be afraid of those breezes blowing on your face? Don't worry, those winds can no longer blow you. ”

Fan Xian was silent, with other worries in his heart.

"Naturally, there is also a heavenly wind in this world. Fan Jian said mockingly: "What you are afraid of is nothing more than the attitude in the palace." But the Queen Mother and Her Majesty both know about this, and at most it will hinder the discussion of things and temporarily cold you for two days. How this matter develops depends on His Majesty's attitude after all. ”

In the end, the scheming Tobe Shangshu said: "And through the assassination of the Hanging Temple, Your Majesty is convinced of your loyalty, and of course will favor you...... Now that your injuries have not healed, Your Majesty will always remember your merits, and at this time, your life history is revealed, and Your Majesty will try to consider for you, whether it is the interests of the royal family, the crown prince, or even the pressure of the eldest princess and queen mother...... ，

"Compared with the sword you blocked for Your Majesty, even if the two are offset. Fan Jian sneered and said, "So, this is the best time." These things in the palace, I don't say that you know it, maybe in a few years, Your Majesty's love for your rescue will be weakened, and it will be difficult for you to take advantage of it. Uncovering the background can only be done in these days. Sooner not, later...... No, it doesn't. ”

The best timing.

Fan Xian tasted the chill in these words in his heart, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "I'm just worried that this matter will bring some trouble to the family." ”

The Fan family took in the orphans of the Ye family back then, although this was arranged by the emperor. But after the trouble is big, the emperor will definitely not admit it, and the unlucky one can only be the Fan Mansion.

Fan Jian slowly closed his eyes, the smile of relief on the corner of his lips disappeared, and he said slowly: "Silly child, if you can't even move, how can you become a father?

Fan Xian's eyes widened, and after a while, he said, "What do you mean, no matter how it is spread outside." We can't even admit it when we die?"

"Of course. Fan Jian said with a smile: "Who can have evidence?"

Fan Xian sighed: "It's a pity, I thought that since there was no impact, I could take the opportunity to ......"

"Take the opportunity to overturn the case for the Ye family?" Fan Jian laughed loudly: "No wonder you were so nervous before. It turned out to be a big thought. You kid, why do you have to turn over the cases in this world on the surface? Your Majesty has already turned it over for the Ye family more than ten years ago, and now these are just aftermaths. ”

Fan Xian shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "This matter of the descendants of the Ye family." In fact, I really can't scare the child, it's just ......" He was about to say, worried that the eldest princess and the people who had the heart to fly * library * net people from this matter. guessed that he had royal blood on his body, but when the words came out of his lips, he suddenly came to his senses and kept his mouth shut.

Regarding his relationship with the emperor, Fan Xian and his father have never said it positively, and all along, the father and son have been very careful not to break it, trying to maintain the current harmonious scene.

Fan Jian understood what his son wanted to say and fell silent. After a long time, he sighed: "That thing...... You might as well keep it in your heart. As for whether others guess or not, what does it matter......? As his father made it clear, Dean Chen was afraid that he had been waiting for this to happen with joy. When the rumor comes to Kyoto, he will definitely use the power in his hand to suppress the rumor to confirm the rumor, and then wait for the people of the world to gradually guess your background, at least let the people of the world get used to it...... Rumors about your origins. ”

Fan Xian was silent, knowing that his father's calculation was very reasonable. The old lame man's approach, he can think of it with his ass, and only by forcibly forcing the rumors of the descendants of the Ye family can the people of Qingguo believe this rumor, this is a very clever method, as for the fact that he is the emperor's illegitimate son......

"What does Chen Pingping want to do?" Fan Xian's mood suddenly became very tired, and he asked his father weakly.

"I don't know for the father. Master Shangshu, who had never shown outstanding strength and wisdom, said slowly: "You should guess that Dean Chen and I have never had the same ideas, and I have been competing with him for many years on your land. And I wasn't in the habit of trusting him, and strangely enough, he didn't seem to trust me either. On the contrary, he and I trust you a little bit more. ”

He glanced at his son and laughed to himself, "In the end, it seems that he won and succeeded in dragging you into this mess." He then said lightly: "I even doubt that he made this matter up single-handedly, otherwise how could the people of Northern Qi know that Xiao Yezi is your mother." Of course, you don't have to worry too much at the moment, the beginning and end of this matter, I think Dean Chen has already begun to enter the palace to plan for you at this time. ”

The father and son were silent, and after a long time, Fan Xian suddenly said headlessly: "I'm sorry, father." ”

I'm sorry for the unreasonableness, I don't know what I'm sorry for. Is it sorry that in the choice of the road ahead, he finally took over the Supervision Yuan, so he was forced to embark on the road of fighting for power, and did not choose a more peaceful life like his father? Or is he sorry for his bizarre life experience, which has brought unknown dangers to the Fan family? Or do you express the most sincere apologies to "father" for my mother?

Or is it...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really want to be your real son, but my mother won't give me this chance.

Fan Shangshu was speculating whether Chen Pingping was taking advantage of Fan Xian's rescue to be seriously injured - this was the best opportunity to reveal the identity of his Ye family's descendants. At the same time, Chen Pingping was in the deep palace, and she kept guessing who suddenly tossed such a thing.

Politicians, don't really care about those nominal things, so these two old foxes. I only want Fan Xian to be happy and able to hold power, and I don't think that Fan Xian must return to the lintel of the Ye family justifiably.

"I'm the only one who knows about this. Fan Jian, Mrs. Fan, Your Majesty, Fei Jie. Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, and a dry and slightly shrill voice sounded in the imperial study, "Your Majesty said earlier that the Queen Mother found out about this matter after the Spring Festival, and there were only six people in total, and in Yichen's opinion, it was impossible for these six people to leak out." ”

The Emperor slowly turned. Those eyes that were clear in the past were burning today, as sharp as an eagle, and they said word by word: "It is impossible to leak out?"

After the spring season. Fan Xian's identity as the leader of the Supervision Yuan was exposed, so he became the most beautiful figure among the young officials of Qingguo, especially when he was about to take charge of the inner treasury, this kind of power was really a bit overwhelming. Ordinary people can't guess anything, but the queen mother in the deep palace. After a long time in state affairs, he is used to being filthy, and his political sense of smell is really keen. Under her strong interrogation, the emperor finally admitted to his mother that Fan Xian was his illegitimate son.

After being shocked, the Queen Mother finally accepted the facts, after all, no matter how much the old man hated the "demon girl" back then, he always had a degree of tolerance for the royal bloodline.

"Maybe, maybe the Northern Qi people guessed it. Chen Pingping whispered to herself, but she didn't know that she had guessed the closest answer to the truth.

The emperor sneered: "What kind of character is Kuhe, can the Northern Qi National Master dare to make a conclusion just by guessing?"

Chen Pingping was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Eldest princess." The suspicion is the greatest. ”

If Fan Xian was eavesdropping on the side at this time, he would definitely shout a word of praise! What is this? This is the legendary frame of the big skill, the elephant sparse voice, and the naked run!

The Queen Mother knew that Fan Xian was the descendant of the Ye family, and the eldest princess was the most painful daughter of the Queen Mother, and she once sold Yan Bingyun to Northern Qi with her backhand, and she also had a private transaction with Zhuang Mohan, a master of Northern Qi, and she had private correspondence with the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, and her smuggling route to Northern Qi made the Northern Qi monarchs not know how much silver they saved, she ...... She, because of the transfer of power in the inner library, hated Fan Xian to the core, and even began to use assassin methods, but failed.

These are facts that the emperor is very well aware of. As long as you analyze it carefully, you will find that the eldest princess has the greatest possibility of knowing about this matter, has the best way to expose the information through the Northern Qi side, and most importantly, she has the greatest motive.

Chen Pingping's previous sentence was also very particular, if he secretly pointed out in vague words that there were people in the palace who had a good relationship with Northern Qi, so that the emperor himself thought of his sister who was far away in Xinyang - and did not dare to be so rebellious and pointed to the center to say the name of the eldest princess, the emperor would definitely doubt his intentions a little.

And he said the name of the eldest princess so directly and frankly, and bluntly said that the most suspicious thing about the other party was the performance of a pure loyal minister, who only cared about whether his own opinion would be useful to His Majesty, and did not worry about whether it would make His Majesty doubt himself - such a performance, of course, the emperor who has always been shrewd is extremely useful.

The emperor was silent, but his face looked a little ugly, and after a while, he said, "It seems that ...... Yun Rui didn't know Fan, and he didn't know that An Zhi was my flesh and blood. ”

If the Queen Mother also told the eldest princess about this matter, the eldest princess would definitely not reveal Fan Xian's life experience, because then it would no longer be aimed at Fan Xian, but against His Majesty.

Chen Pingping bowed slightly, knowing from His Majesty's words that His Majesty had already believed that the eldest princess was the source of this rumor.

After a while, the emperor said coldly: "Wait for the news, see if Yun Rui will write a letter." ”

Fan Xian is a descendant of the Ye family, if the eldest princess goes to the palace and takes this as an opportunity to persuade His Majesty to be vigilant about this matter, or directly persuade the imperial brother to kill Fan Xian and destroy the Fan family, then the emperor will really look down on the relationship between brothers and sisters.

"What should I do next?" Chen Pingping coughed twice, due to the hurry to enter the palace, her gray hair was not tied too tightly, a little unkempt, and she looked more and more old.

The emperor glanced at him, and suddenly sighed with a wry smile: "In my life, it can be regarded as beautiful, but I was still in the prime of life, but I became a real loner, except for you and Brother Jian'er, I can't find a person I trust completely." ”

Chen Pingping was slightly stunned, and was about to say something, when the emperor sighed and waved his hand and said, "Do you remember, what name did the Queen Mother levy on the Ye family back then?"

"Rebellion. ”

"Hmm. The emperor said with a blank face: "Back then, the two of you also agreed to this proposal. After all, the things left by Xiao Yezi can't be messed up or put away, after she leaves. Only the royal family has this kind of ability to close and protect the Ye family's industries to continue to operate. ”

"Not bad. Chen Pingping said calmly: "At the beginning, I thought that since everyone had already gone, she would not mind if she was charged, but I didn't expect that after seventeen years, it would become a little tricky." ”

The emperor said coldly: "What's so tricky, the will comes from my mouth, and I will rehabilitate the Ye family, who in this world dares to make irresponsible remarks?"

"No, you can't. Chen Pingping replied categorically. It seemed to surprise His Majesty, "Your Majesty has pity for that child, but this matter must not be ...... After all. Your Majesty, you have to consider the feelings of the old man. The old cripple was like a mirror in his heart, although the emperor's trick had no name, it was the last temptation.

The emperor knew that he was talking about the Queen Mother, and after thinking for a while, he nodded, and said, "It seems." You have a certain number in your mind. ”

Chen Pingping responded with a wry smile: "It happened suddenly, and Your Majesty did not have a will, so there was no plan. The meaning of this is clear. The emperor had always wanted Fan Xian's life history to be hidden, and of course he hadn't thought about it in the courtyard.

He changed his tone and continued: "But it's not a big deal, if Xinyang sends a letter, please ask Your Majesty to reprimand him strictly, Your Majesty will tell a few more princes, Fan Xian will let him die and not admit it, even if the hundred officials are puzzled, no one dares to make any progress on the rumors without roots." ”

An Zhi couldn't help but be embarrassed. How do you deal with yourself in the DPRK?"

In the next year, he will go to Jiangnan on a business trip, which is just enough to avoid this discussion. Chen Pingping smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, although this matter is troublesome, it broke out at this time, and the timing is not bad." Let Fan Xian stay away from the important places in Kyoto, and if it drags on for two years, things will naturally fade. ”

"Can it be light?" said the Emperor with squinted eyes.

"Si Lili is on the Liujing River, and people say that she is the descendant of a certain prince back then, and it is passed around, except for making the business of the flower boat better, there is no major problem. As for Fan Xian's life experience...... Chen Pingping sighed, "Let's let there be one more innocuous gossip news in the world." ”

The emperor pondered for a long time and snorted from his nose.

"You can also use it as lace in the newspapers. Chen Pingping continued.

The Emperor laughed too.

"Just guard against that. Chen Pingping glanced at His Majesty and said with a hint of sadness.

"The queen is there, and I will let the queen mother come forward. The emperor nodded, sighed, and said, "I can't give him a name, I can't help this son anymore."

Half a month later, a news began to circulate in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, which said that Lord Xiaofan, who is now popular in the court, the Tisi of the Supervision Yuan, turned out to be the descendant of the old Ye family!

The Ye family was seized for rebellion, nearly 20 years ago, I didn't expect that there were descendants, and it was actually Kyoto people who talked about Xiao Fan, this rumor shocked the people of Kyoto and began to get excited, and they passed on this gossip news one after another, and in less than two days, the whole Kyoto knew about this rumor.

If this rumor is true, and the Fan Mansion harboring the imperial court's criminals, it will be unlucky. The Beijing officials and civil officials who were offended by Fan Xian in the court began to excitedly plan the offensive, of course, in the absence of a word in the palace, these officials did not dare to act rashly, after all, it was just a rumor, and there was no evidence.

Thinking that after Fan Xian entered Beijing, he would rather give up a generation of literary names, enter the Supervision Yuan, and take over the inner library full of copper smell, the officials of the people of Kyoto all muttered in their hearts, and they believed a little more in the truth of this rumor.

To everyone's surprise, the palace remained quiet, as if they had never heard of it. However, the Supervision Yuan began to take action, risking being scolded by the officials for three generations of ancestors, and began to arrest those people who dared to spread remote rumors in restaurants and tea shops.

In the afternoon of Yishiju, the drinkers in the building looked at each other, they were all people of some status, but they didn't expect that the officials of the eight departments of the Supervision Yuan would be unreasonable and arrest the two scribes who were spitting Xingzi before!

From the reaction of the Inspectorate, people became more and more convinced that Van Tisi ...... It must have something to do with the Ye family back then!

In the supervision courtyard, Chen Pingping, who was covered with a blanket on her knees, lifted the corner of the black curtain and watched the silent pedestrians on the street walk by, with a strange smile on the corner of her lips.

"I know who your mother is, but I don't know who your father is, what are you afraid of?"

Graceful book friends are so cute...... A few days ago, I had a stomach ache, but when I looked at the post, my stomach was even more ...... laughing. It hurts even more.
