Zhan Doudou got up from the collapse, and his own manager put a gray-black ground coat on him, walked to the door of the hall, and looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside the hall. The supreme ruler of the Northern Qi Land fell into deep thought.

Northern Qi inherited the Great Wei. I like black and green and other solemn and righteous colors, which is the case with this thousand-year-old palace built on the mountain. The clothes he wore today were basically the same colors, his bare feet in warm velvet shoes. I don't know if it's ever warm.

Snowflakes drifted through the cracks in his slightly squinted eyes and landed on the quiet ground, which was deep in the palace and not far from the queen mother's bedroom. The small pavilion behind the mountain is not far away. It's very secluded. If there is no His Majesty's permission. No idle people are allowed to approach. The number of eunuchs and palace maids serving around this palace is very small, and they are all old mothers and slaves brought up by the queen mother back then. There is no need to worry about the biggest secret of Northern Qi being leaked.

However, in such a safe situation, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty still lost his hands behind. Calmly look straight into the snow. There was no hint of weakness at all, maybe for her. Dressing up as a man is no longer something that needs to be done with heart, something that needs to be hidden. It's that she has already seen herself as a man, an emperor. This aura had already penetrated deep into her flesh and bones. It cannot be separated.

"After Chen Pingping's death. There are only three people left in the world who are qualified to have children. A complicated look appeared on her face. It's a bit cold. There was some redness on the cheeks. It's just not coquettish. On the contrary, I felt a little bit of a fierce killing, "I never thought that Chen Pingping would actually play such a ...... in the end"

The Northern Qi Emperor's eyebrows furrowed, he sighed coldly, and said, "I only understand now." Before the national teacher left. Why do you care so much about Chen Pingping's lifespan, it turns out that he has already seen it, and wants to force Fan Xian to turn his face with his cheap father. Only Chen Pingping finally took the initiative to choose. ”

"I don't understand why Chen Pingping did this. What kind of hatred can make him do this?" She sneered and said, "I think it has something to do with that woman back then." ”

The manager slowly walked over to her and looked at her worriedly. He handed over the small stove in his hand. He asked softly, "Among the three people, Fan Xian is also included?"

She is the granddaughter of the prince of the former dynasty of Nanqing. Now she is the only favored geographical concubine in the Northern Qi Palace, and the relationship between her and the Northern Qi Emperor. It's more intimate than many people guess. They are partners, partners who have grown up together since childhood, and who confide in each other. Previously, the Emperor of Northern Qi said that after Chen Pingping's death. is also qualified to settle in the world. There are only three people, if these three people include Fan Xian......

"Of course Fan Xian is qualified. The Emperor of Northern Qi gently rubbed the slightly hot stove. He sighed and said, "He has a good mother." I am ruthless enough to myself, so I have the power I have now...... Don't underestimate his energy. There are good things hidden in Dongyi City. ”

"At least for now, Emperor Qing doesn't want to drive him to a dead end.

Still trying to subdue him. Because of the acceptance of Fan Xian's family. Far more beneficial to Nanqing than to eliminate him. The Northern Qi Emperor said quietly: "That's all. It proves the power in Fan Xian's hands, which makes Emperor Qing also fearful. ”

"It's cold, don't stand at the door of the temple. The manager looked at the emperor's face cautiously. The corner of his eye imperceptibly brushed over the abdomen wrapped in the big coat.

What a wise and sensitive man the Emperor was. Immediately noticed her gaze. A hint of disgust suddenly appeared on his face, and his cheeks tightened slightly. It seems to be clenching his teeth and suppressing his anger.

Looking at the emperor's expression, Si Lili snorted. couldn't help laughing: "I don't know what Lord Xiao Fan would think if he knew about His Majesty's situation at this time." ”

"That guy is ruthless. However...... But he is a rotten Confucian. The Emperor of Northern Qi was merciless and harshly criticized the man in the south. He sneered and said: "How naïve and naïve and foolish he has been doing things in the past few months! The current situation has developed so far, and he still has the luxury of trying to solve the problem within Nanqing. I want to die less. can bring this matter to an end...... After all, he underestimated Emperor Qing. Even if his emperor Lao Tzu is not a great grandmaster, where can these little hands and feet of his land shake his status?"

"If you want to change the dynasty with fewer deaths? It's ridiculous to the extreme. The Northern Qi Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't listen to Si Li's words. Leave the door of the temple at the beginning of the snowstorm. Said coldly: "If I don't help him this time, Dongyi City will face the Yanjing camp head-on. Regardless of the outcome of the two sides, it is up to me to see how he can disguise himself as a rich idler in Kyoto. ”

"Is Your Majesty really just trying to help him defend Dongyi City?" The manager's eye waves turned slightly. Asked softly.

The Northern Qi Emperor's body stiffened slightly, as if he didn't expect Si Lili to see his other plans at a glance, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I am the lord of Northern Qi, how can I hurt the soldiers of Great Qi because of one man...... Helping him is actually helping himself, and Nanqing is not messing up. The pressure on Daqi is too great, and Emperor Qing has always had the idea of the Northern Expedition, but now General Uesugi is guarding the south, testing first, and then controlling the center, and is prepared. It's always going to be easier in the future. ”

"I'm just a little worried about the Uesugi Tigers. The manager lowered his eyebrows and replied, this sentence is actually not the turn of a harem concubine. It's just that she's the concubine, in many cases. In fact, it is similar to the advisors of the Northern Qi Emperor.

"The foreign enemy is strong, even if the Uesugi Tiger holds a grudge against me and Fan Xian to join forces to kill Sean back then......" The Northern Qi Emperor frowned slightly. "However, Nanqing will not eliminate the idea of northern invasion for a day. Shogun Uesugi will not forget the world because of personal vendetta...... That's true for me, and so is Shogun Uesugi. ”

"It's just that Lord Xiao Fan is in a difficult situation in the south right now. Once it was seen by the people of the Nanqing Imperial Court, General Uesugi sent troops this time...... The relationship with Dongyi City's side ......" A trace of worry flashed between the manager's eyebrows. I couldn't help but worry about Fan Xian. There are three women in Shangjing who have a relationship with Fan Xian. The begonias are far away on the grassland, and His Majesty the Emperor in the palace has the heart of the emperor. Ruthless, I'm afraid that I don't care much about Fan Xian's life or death, but the manager can't help but worry about the sometimes gentle, sometimes cold man.

"I've never worried that the southerners will see the true purpose of this southward trip, and I can't hide much from that. At least those who know the real state of affairs between the Nanqing Imperial Court and Dongyi City. I can definitely guess. The Emperor of Northern Qi said indifferently: "That Wang Zhikun in Yanjing must be the first to guess the ground...... Guess what you're afraid of? Even if it spreads, I'm not afraid, and I collude with Daqi. Thinking about it, this is a crime that Fan Xian can't afford. ”

When Si Lili heard this, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty has never had the idea of forcing him to come to the capital...... It's just that if he really gets to that point, will he still be able to come back alive?"

The wind and snow are chilling. The cheeks are flushed, and the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty looks at the wind and snow. He said slowly: "If he lives and refuses to come, to me. What's the difference between being dead and dead?"

"Duoduo shouldn't know about this. The manager looked up at her.

"The little aunt is on the grassland. The people of the Westward Road are dead again. It was inconvenient to contact her. The Emperor of Northern Qi bowed his head. Looking at his toes, he was silent for a long time, and his right hand suddenly raised. Trembling slightly. It seems that he wants to touch his abdomen, but he hasn't made this action for a long time.

However, the fingertips are slightly curled. finally showed a hint of feminine look.

"Your Majesty. The military report has arrived. The ministers waited at the Heqi Pavilion. An old eunuch outside the hall whispered and hurriedly feasted. Now the south is at war with the Qing people. The military situation is tense. No one dares to make a mistake. For the first time, the people of Northern Qi found that their army had finally bravely launched an offensive first, and their mood was very different from before.

Hearing this, Huo Ran, the Emperor of Northern Qi, raised his head, the suppleness in his eyes had already turned into a cold calm, and Si Lili hurriedly tied a gold and jade belt around her black waist. She walked towards the outside of the hall, her steps were steady, and her imperial bearing was fully revealed. Out of the deep hall, Lord Wolf Tao and He Daoren were already waiting outside.

In the tenth year of Qingli, Dongyi City nominally surrendered to Nanqing. The general trend of the world has changed irreversibly, but it rains in Kyoto at the beginning of autumn. This situation was brought back again. Regardless of Fan Xian, who was in the middle of the whirlpool, whether he really had such a far-sighted plan at the beginning, but at least for now, Dongyi City. In fact, it is under the control of him and His Highness.

I have to say that the sword left his life at this moment. It really played his most powerful effect. The thirteenth son of Jianlu. Except for Yun Zhilan as the lord of Dongyi City, the rest of the twelve people and those grandchildren are masters. They were all gathered under Fan Xian's place, plus 10,000 elite soldiers led by the prince of Nanqing, plus Chen Pingping left 4,000 black horsemen for Fan Xian. As long as the cooperation between Fan Xian and the Great Prince is unhindered, Dongyi City has once again become a separate force.

In any way, the trust and cooperation between Fan Xian and the eldest prince is not so easy to break. This was during the Kyoto Rebellion three years earlier. It has been excellently represented.

After the death of Sigu Jian, the city of Dongyi. It still retains its independence. Presumably, the soul of this great master after his death will also be pleased.

Of course. The key to achieving the current situation, in addition to Dongyi City's own strength, is actually the most critical. It was still the autumn offensive suddenly launched by the Northern Qi military in the late autumn of the tenth year of Qingli. This time the invasion offensive caused the Northern Qi court to lose a lot of strength and grain and grass, and in the end, it only allowed the Uesugi Tiger to get the Dizhou City at the horn, and it seems that the Northern Qi people really have more to gain than they lose.

Immediately after that, the northern realm was launched. It has made the appearance of going south in an all-round way. forced Nanqing to prepare for the war with all his might, a big battle. It seems like it's going to erupt just next spring.

And this. At least it was given to Dongyi City and Fan Xian was given half a year to buffer time.

Regardless of the woman disguised as a man, the emperor of Northern Qi was in front of Si Lili. How to hide her inner thoughts, she only put the interests of the Northern Qi court and the people at the forefront, but she couldn't convince herself. She did all this largely because of the man in Nanqing. The man who fought with her for several years, cooperated for several years, struggled for several years, and finally became her first and only man in front of the palace.

When news of the war in the north-central part of the continent reached Kyoto, it was already early winter. The weather in Kyoto is a bit unusual this year. The autumn rains are even more dense, and they seem to squeeze all the moisture out of the sky. After the onset of winter. The sky was cloudless. It's just blindly cold and high. But there was no snow.

There is no Inspectorate. After all, the information of Baoyuelou is all marginal news, and Fan Xian does not know the true inside story of the battle in the north, but this does not prevent him from analyzing and judging from the truth, which is different from what Zhan Doudou expected, and the war broke out. It didn't make Fan Xian angry, because he wasn't a true saint after all. It's just an ordinary person, and he knows that the female emperor in the north is helping him. It's hard to be angry about anything, he's just a little gloomy.

The reason for the gloom between his eyebrows was complicated, perhaps he found that he actually had no way to influence the thoughts of the Northern Qi Imperial Family. Even if he pinched the opponent's biggest handle, the other party was a king after all. There will be her own ideas. Another reason. It is the attitude of the palace after this incident.

Northern Qi invasion. Return, do not receive. Prepare for war, this chain of four blows. In fact, they are all sharing the pressure for Dongyi City. But all the sharp-eyed big people can see this, so some people are also clear about Fan Xian's role in this. Although not many people know about this, it has not affected the people of Kyung. However, the silence in the palace still made Fan Xian a little unexpected.

Those big names in Nanqing will be shocked by Fan Xiandi's influence, and shocked that he can actually let the Northern Qi people send troops to help, such as the rare time ago to go to the mansion once to go to the palace Liu Guogong, that night. Liu's father. Liu Guogong, who has been silent in the court for many years, but is still there. He chatted with Fan all night.

He is the biological father of the Liu family. It is also Fan Xian's ancestor. Fan Xian has always had great respect for Guogong Lane in Beijing over the years. Although this prince rarely leaves the house. But at a critical moment. has always been on Fan Xian's side, so although Fan Xian was silent about the other party's lesson, he did not refute it.

He was born as a soldier of Qingguo. Liu Guogong was a little shocked and frightened by the faint relationship between the war in the north and the Fan Mansion. It's just that the matter can't be clarified, so the old man just came to the mansion to warn Fan Xian a few words. A few reminders.

Even Liu Guogong, an ignorant figure like Liu Guogong, began to be jealous of the role that Fan Xian might play, why was the palace so calm? Fan Xian didn't believe that Emperor Lao Tzu would be shocked by the changes in the north, let alone believe it. Even if his Northern Qi strong reinforcement is exposed in front of Emperor Lao Tzu, Emperor Lao Tzu will be a little jealous.

Your Majesty would have needed a war, where would he be afraid of the invasion of the Northern Qi people, but this kind of silence and silence is really a bit unusual.

The cold is gradually condensing. The first snow in Kyoto finally fell, and at the beginning of winter, on the winter solstice, dumplings began to boil in the cauldrons of houses in various parts of Kyoto, and the business of killing sheep in various shops was extremely good. In every corner of the streets and alleys, it seemed that the characters would be shocked by Fan Xian's influence, and shocked that he was able to get the Northern Qi people to send troops to help. For example, a few days ago, it was rare to go to the mansion once to go to the palace to go to the palace once to go to the Duke of Liu. That night, Liu's father. He has been silent in the court for many years, but Yu Wei is still in the land of Liu Guogong, and he chatted with Fan earnestly all night.

He is the biological father of the Liu family. It is also Fan Xian's ancestor, and Fan Xian has always had great respect for Guogong Lane in Beijing over the years. Although this prince rarely goes out of the house, he is at a critical moment. has always been on the side of Fan Xiandi, so he taught the other party a lesson. Fan Xian was silent. But there is no refutation.

As a Qingguo soldier, Liu Guogong was a little shocked and frightened by the faint relationship between the war in the north and the Fan Mansion, but the matter could not be clarified. So the old man only came to the mansion to warn Fan Xian for a few words. A few reminders.

Even a figure like Liu Guogong, who does not care about the affairs of the world, began to be jealous of the role that Fan Xian might play, why was the palace still so peaceful? Fan Xian did not believe that Emperor Lao Tzu would be shocked by the changes in the north. I don't believe it, even if his Northern Qi strong reinforcement is exposed in front of Emperor Laozi, Emperor Laozi will be a little jealous.

His Majesty would have needed a war. Where will be afraid of the invasion of the Northern Qi people. It's just that this kind of silence and silence is a bit unusual.

The cold is gradually condensing. The first snow in Kyoto has finally fallen. At the beginning of winter. On the winter solstice, dumplings begin to boil in large cauldrons in houses all over Kyoto. The business of killing sheep in the shops everywhere is extremely good. Every corner of the streets and alleys seems to have gathered in the palace. These young people are in a bad situation right now.

Celestia laughed. Fan Xian responded in a harmonious voice: "If it is a matter outside Cangzhou City, I think you should know better than me." Your Majesty the Little Emperor of the North. It's not a role I can move. ”

The princess looked at him with a complicated expression. Youyou said: "It's because I know that the emperor's brother has a temperament, so I don't understand. How can you say that he will send troops to help you? ”

"I don't think I need to mention it. Fan Xian smiled and replied, "At least it's a good thing for His Highness who is far away in Dongyi City...... It's just that you're alone in Kyoto now, Princess. If there is any inconvenience, please let me know. ”

The princess smiled slightly and bowed solemnly, although the current situation is unpredictable. But she knew she had made a mistake once, and now she can't make it again. His husband and the young man in front of him have been tied together. Tied up in Dongyi City.

"The Yanjing camp is pointing at Dongyi. I don't know how Wang Tong'er feels in the mansion. Fan Xian saw that Shuning beside him couldn't move. He picked her up and asked the princess. The little girl couldn't understand what the elders were saying. Curiously with a pair of big eyes. Turning around on Fan Xian's face and the princess's face.

"Hitomi's temperament is a little arrogant. But in fact, she is an innocent child, but she is a little boring, and sometimes I ask her to go to Yefu for a visit. She couldn't ...... By the way, she once thought about going to Fan's Mansion to have a look. It's just that you know, it's always not very convenient. ”

"Understood. Fan Xian smiled slightly, looked at the princess and said, "I thought about it at the beginning, the princess is in the mansion, and there should be no problem with Miss Wang." ”

"It's not what you did in the first place. By the way, Miss Masoso still doesn't have a name. It's finally too old...... "A trace of gloom flashed between the princess's eyebrows, and now the eldest prince is far away in Dongyi, fighting against the imperial court from afar. Her hostage life in Kyoto was naturally extremely miserable. And there is also a child-like side concubine in the house. There is also a bearded girl who is straightforward by nature but does not understand the world. It was a bit embarrassing for her.

Fan Xian sighed and said: "Where can I take care of these now, but although it was I, the Zhengqing of Taichang Temple, who made the demon Ezi out at the beginning. But you and I know that. In the end, it is just your majesty's will. ”

That's it. It's tasteless besides, and it just so happens that the two of them have already crossed the wooden bridge over the lake to the middle of the pavilion. The pavilion is full of glass windows. It is impermeable to light and wind, and there are several stoves. The breath is like spring. It's cozy. Fan Xian squinted slightly, looking at the four girls who were talking together in the corner of the pavilion. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

There is a winter solstice one year. Fan Xian was summoned into the palace as the county lord's concubine, under the ice-like gaze of the queen mother. Ate a meal of mutton soup with great disinterest, it seems that it was still in that year. The eldest prince opened the mansion and invited guests. It is in this pavilion. Except for the crown prince. All the young people of the Li royal family have arrived. The second prince also arrived.

Now the queen mother is dead, and the second prince is dead. The crown prince is dead, damned man. People who don't damn it are dead. All that was left was Fan Xian, who was locked up in Kyoto. was separated from the great prince of Dongyi. The three princes who were secluded in the palace, plus these five girls.

All the children stood faintly on the opposite side of him. Could it be that he is better? Fan Xian couldn't help but think of His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, standing at the entrance of the pavilion a little distracted, and was indifferent and speechless for a long time.

The hot pot was delivered. It's just that everyone was a little silent at today's meal. Probably something was on their minds. Fan Xian sat beside Rou Jiadi. is like a warm and amiable brother, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and shabu the lamb in the bowl for her. The girls in this pavilion are probably the most cowardly and pitiful. Although there was a rumor in the palace that King Jingjun would return to the palace in a few days, but thinking of a girl's family who had been alone in the palace of King Jingjun for several months, Fan Xian couldn't help but feel pity.

There were no maids in the pavilion. Everyone spoke more casually, that is, the one who was a little reserved and a little strange. Wang Tong'er, who was full of interest in his eyes, did not feel cold, and Fan Xian got up and went to the pavilion corner to pick up silver charcoal. In the corner of his eye. saw Ye Ling'er coming over.

"I know you feel sorry for Wang Tong'er. Fan Xian stood up, looked at her and whispered. What kind of ending will Wang Chan'er have in the future, will she become a young widow like Ye Ling'er? No one knows, Ye Ling'er sighed, she is no longer the pretty woman who rode the streets of Kyoto back then, and said, "Master, are you going to keep messing with Your Majesty like this?"

Fan Xian was silent for a moment and then said, "You asked me to death...... However, His Majesty is only afraid that there is no me at all, and in a few days, maybe there will be news from the west. You can help me inquire about the rumors, and if there is any movement in the Privy Council. ”

"Politically. My father wouldn't let me get involved. I'm not Sun Hao'er. Ye Ling'er glanced at him, and then said with a slightly gloomy face: "I don't know what you're doing, master, I just want to persuade you." ”
