Lifting the sword into the rivers and lakes Chapter 15 Fan Mou's strategy
Zhao Lun led Fan Mou to the main hall, Qi Wu saw Fan Mou coming, got up to greet him, and said to him: "Fan Xiang is here, I want to go to the house to see Fan Xiang these days."
Fan Mou's narrow eyes lowered slightly, and he hurriedly bowed down and knelt down and saluted: "The prince is Wan'an, and the minister Fan Mou sees the prince."
Qi Wu saw Fan Mou kneeling down and saluting, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Fan Mou and helped Fan Mou up: "Don't be polite to the right minister, thanks to Fan Xiang a few days ago..."
Fan Mou got up, his slender eyes signaled to Qi Wu, Qi Wu stopped half of what he said, Zhao Lun saw that Fan Mou and the prince had something to talk about, so he bowed and withdrew, and only the prince Qi Wu and Fan Mou were left in the main hall.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Qi Wu helped Fan Mou to sit down, and continued: "A few days ago, thanks to Fan Xiang's help, the court did not let Zheng Zhi's class of officials succeed, and that group of officials all had a heart of disobedience!" ”
Fan Mou stroked his beard and said: "The prince is my prince of Qiyun, since ancient times, the ancestral system has been cloudy, and he has established a long line, and Lord Ouyang and a group of colleagues are just following the ancestral system."
Qi Wu saw that Fan Mou did not admit his kindness, so he sat next to Fan Mou again, personally poured a cup of hot tea for Fan Mou, and said with a cup in both hands: "I know that if there is no Fan Xiang to mediate, Lord Ouyang and a group of officials Qingliu will not speak for me, Fan Xiang's kindness, Qi Wu will remember it."
"The prince doesn't have to thank you, these are what we courtiers should do", Fan Mou still shirked Qi Wu's words of thanks, but took the cup in Qi Wu's hand.
Qi Wu saw that Fan Mou had accepted his gratitude, so he asked, "Fan Xiang visited late at night, somehow?" ”
Fan Mou looked at the prince in front of him, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Prince, please forgive the old minister for being blunt, I have established the country in Qiyun, and now the saint is diligent in government and loves the people, my Qiyun country is growing day by day, and the prince has also been set up as a prince since he was a child, but your position as the prince has been coveted repeatedly in recent years, and the old minister has been with the dragon since he was in his prime. ”
Qi Wu heard the meaning of Fan Mou's words, he was worried about his future career in the court, so he smiled and said: "What the right minister said is very true, although this palace has been established as the crown prince by his father since he was a child, but in the past few years, some people in the court have continued to challenge me, and even my father is bewitched by these people, if the right minister is willing to help me, I will be on the ninth five-year throne in the future, and the right minister will be my prime minister, so the right minister Xiao Ji has not always been in agreement with Fan Xiang's politics, in my opinion, Fan is the best candidate for prime minister."
Fan Mou saw that Qi Wu was deceived by his own talents, and really thought that he was here for his career, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "Thanks to the prince's love, the old man is willing to help the prince, but the old man is not for the career, but for my Qiyun orthodoxy." ”
Qi Wu said with a smile: "What Fan Xiang said is exactly what this palace thinks, how about looking at my Ning Wang Huang brother from Fan Xiang's eyes?" ”
"From the perspective of the old ministers, His Royal Highness King Ning is calm and moderate, and he is good at dealing with things, and he also respects our courtiers." Fan Mou's narrow eyes glanced at Qi Wu at this time and seemed to be displeased, and he stroked his beard and continued: "His Royal Highness King Kening, after all, he is a concubine, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince teaches His Royal Highness King Ning properly in the future, he will definitely be the minister who will assist the prince after the crown prince ascends the throne."
Qi Wu was displeased when he heard Fan Mou's words in the first half of his words, but after listening to Fan Mou's words, he smiled and said: "What Fan Xiang said, it is very good for me, my younger brother is really smart, but he is a concubine after all, as Fan Xiang said, I will be trained well after I ascend the throne, and he is also a good help for me to govern the country", Qi Wu looked forward to the future when he ascended the throne, and couldn't help but smile flutteringly, but Qi Wu didn't see a trace of coldness in Fan Mou's eyes at the moment.
"Your Highness can know what the Holy Lord has been worried about in recent days", Fan Mou changed his words.
"Hun attack?"
"No, Shanhaiguan is guarded by Wang Tian, not to mention that Xiao Xiang has also invited himself to go to Shanhaiguan over the years, with these two, Shanhaiguan is naturally worry-free", Fan Mou shook his head and replied.
"Northern Jin Dynasty? Southern Tang? The prince asked again.
Fan Mou continued to shake his head: "No, since the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Shengshang took the Win River as the boundary, and the Southern Tang Dynasty rowed the river, the Southern Tang Dynasty and I Qiyun have not had conflicts over the years, although the Northern Jin Dynasty often disturbs my border, but my Qiyun national strength is growing, and the Northern Jin Dynasty does not dare to fight with my Qiyun, let alone which small countries and maritime Fusang." ”
"Then from the perspective of the right side, what is my father's worries about today?" Qi Wu asked puzzled.
Fan Mou's narrow eyes skimmed over Qi Wu's face, and secretly said in his heart, he is really a dull person, if this person succeeds Qi Yun in the future, it will be a good thing for the Northern Jin Dynasty. So he helped Qi Wu's arm and asked: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you think about it carefully, these days, when the saints go down to court, who will always be mentioned?" ”
"Away from Kurong?" The prince thought about it carefully and patted his head.
"Yes, it is the Central Plains Sword God who is away from the withered glory", Fan Mou said with a hint of contempt in his heart.
"But a mere martial artist, it's just a reputation for being reckless, my father occasionally knows some reckless things in the rivers and lakes, and I mention it by the way, why is it worrying my father?" The prince refused to answer.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know, when your imperial grandfather and the Huns fought in Zhongzhou, thanks to this person's sword swept down the three masters of the Huns, they broke the situation and won, although these people in the rivers and lakes can not control the situation of the war, but they will also become a surprise soldier in the war." Fan Mou patiently answered for Qi Wu.
"I've heard of this, the emperor's grandfather defeated the Huns back then, and the emperor's uncle swept the Northern Jin Dynasty in the north, all of whom had the help of the masters of the rivers and lakes, but the reckless person is worthy of the father's worry?" Qi Wu has always been dismissive of the people in the rivers and lakes.
"This is from the Kurong has always been a meritorious minister to our dynasty, it is rumored that he founded Wangli Villa, there is a mirror in this villa, the pavilion details the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, if anyone controls these things is to seize the handle of these reckless guests, these people will be used by you, before thinking of the merits of the Kurong, the saint will send people to look at the reward of the villa every three years, and this year the rivers and lakes are rumored to leave the Kurong practice and go crazy soon after the world, and the mirror flower and water moon pavilion in his hands has become a thing that everyone covets, This year, the Holy Lord will definitely send someone to Wangli Villa, but if you want to take over Wangli Villa, the person who goes to Wangli Villa must be one of the two princes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Ning, and only one of the two of you controls this Wangli Villa can make this mirror flower and moon available to the imperial court", Fan Mou said.
"I see, according to the meaning of the right minister, is it for me to fight for this opportunity to go to Wangli Villa and win the Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion for my father?" Qi Wu seemed to understand what Fan Mou meant.
Fan Mou shook his head again at this moment and said: "No, the old minister wants His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter what, he must stay away from this errand, and he wants to recommend His Royal Highness King Ning to be the person who will reward him this year." ”
"Why is this, once this mirror flower and moon fall into the hands of my imperial brother, won't it be his help" Qi Wu was puzzled.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you are a saint, your prince is already prestigious in the court, and the people love him well, if he has such a thing in his hands that can hold the rivers and lakes hostage, will you be worried?" Fan Mou's narrow gaze met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Qi Wusi pondered for a moment, as if he understood Fan Mou's intentions, and the corners of his mouth also leaked a vicious smile with Fan Mou: "I see, what if my imperial brother also refuses to resign." ”
Fan Mou smiled meaningfully and said: "The old minister has a plan, but His Royal Highness King Ning has to accept this gift, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to attach his ears."
Qi Wu hurriedly attached his ear to Fan Mou's side, and Fan Mou whispered in his ear: "So so, so, so."
After a while, the prince in the main hall, who only listened, smiled: "This is very good, just according to what the right minister said."
Half an hour later, in the Prince's Mansion, a two-person sedan chair came out of the back door, and two sturdy sedan chairmen carried the sedan chair, walking quietly all the way to the direction of Fan's Mansion.
After Fan Mou left, the prince Qi Wu Hall said: "Someone is coming."
The eunuch Zhao Lun flashed out from behind the screen, bowed down and said, "Please give the prince orders"...
The small sedan chair all the way, Fan Mou was drowsy in the swaying sedan chair, and suddenly felt that the sedan chair was stunned, stopped, lifted the curtain of the sedan window, and looked out only to see that he had not yet arrived at Fan's house, only stopped in a small road, Fan Mou shouted angrily: "Bastard, you haven't arrived at the house, you two are doing this." Opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and was about to angrily reprimand the sedan chair man, but he didn't see the sedan chair man, and the inner city path was quiet and abnormal, leaving only himself and the sedan chair.
Fan Mou looked behind him, it stands to reason that the sedan chair man will not take this ordinary uninhabited path, these two have also followed him for many years, how could they disappear for no reason and leave themselves in this no-man's land.
When Fan Mou turned around, there was a figure standing not far in front of the sedan chair, this person seemed to be silently out of the line, dressed in night clothes, with a black mask on his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, the man in black stood quietly, Fan Mou was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and he shouted boldly: "Who are you, you dare to coerce this official, the old man is Qi Yun's right minister Fan Mou, this is the foot of the imperial city, you dare to kidnap the imperial court officials, can you know that you have committed an unforgivable crime?" ”
The man in black looked at Fan Mou quietly, and in a moment the hoarse voice of the man in black came: "Lord Fan, Fan Youxiang, if it is such a great official authority, can you recognize this thing?" The man in black took out a ink-like black token from his arms, and there was a word 'Jin' in the token, Fan Mou pretended to be brave and walked in to take a look, and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the envoy Wan'an, this is the foot of the Qiyun Imperial City, not the place to speak, please follow me to other places and report carefully", Fan Mou was afraid at the moment, this is the inner city of Qiyun Kyoto, if there is any mistake, the painstaking operation for many years is even lifeless.
"Don't worry, since the emperor asked me to come, you will be fine, since I dare to show up here to see you, I will not expose my whereabouts, let alone reveal your identity", the hoarse voice of the man in black revealed a burst of murderous intent.
"The second time the envoy came, did His Majesty have a word of mouth", Fan Mou's worry receded slightly at the moment, and he still asked cautiously towards the man in black.
"You old man, you are clever, the emperor did not have an edict to you, but just sent me here to inform you that Li Kurong has indeed gone mad, and ordered you to take down the secret affairs of Qiyun Jianghu in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion no matter what." The man in black said.
"What? The matter of leaving Kurong is true, and I have only only found out about it in the eyeliner of the rivers and lakes in the northern border of Qiyun, but I don't know if this news is true or not? There is a legendary immortal realm from Kurong, how could he suddenly go crazy. Fan Mou couldn't believe it at the moment, but on the secret letter he obtained, there was indeed this news, and it was not confirmed whether Li Kurong had really gone mad, how could this man in black be so convinced.
The man in black seemed to see through Fan Mou's thoughts, and said: "You don't have to doubt, I did the matter of leaving Kurong, in addition to informing you of the matter of leaving Kurong this time, there is another thing, that thing, you have to hurry up and get it, Your Majesty has been waiting for too long, I want to remind you for Your Majesty, don't forget how you became this Qi Yun Right Minister, what is the significance of your existence in my Northern Jin Dynasty."
Fan Mou hurriedly bowed and saluted, expressing his heartfelt feelings: "Fan Mou has been hidden in the Qiyun Dynasty for many years, and he does not dare to forget his identity, the chess pieces I have laid out in the Qiyun Dynasty and in the rivers and lakes are all for me to use troops in the south in the future, I will use that thing as soon as possible, and please ask the envoy to give me more time." Now I use a plan to make Qi Yun's two princes suspicious, if these two princes in the Qi Yun Dynasty take over the heirs in the future, it will inevitably be in chaos, which is really a great thing for my Jin Dynasty. ”
"Okay, your merits, I will submit it to Your Majesty, and in the future, I will rule the world in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and your benefits will be indispensable." The man in black heard Fan Mou's words, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "I'm going to go by myself, don't worry, someone will send your sedan chair back later, what you and I are talking about today, no one will know, as long as you do things well for my Northern Jin Dynasty, I won't treat you badly." ”
"Thank you, Envoy." The dignified Qi Yun right minister is now flattering to the man in black, and when Fan Mou looks up again, where is there still a shadow of the man in black, looking back at his sedan chair, but seeing that the two sedan chair men have appeared in the sedan chair at this moment, unconscious.
Fan Mou only felt that his underwear had been soaked in cold sweat at this moment, in this winter, the cold wind blew, Fang Jue was cold, and quickly woke up the sedan chair man, the two sedan chair men only felt inexplicable, and the two fainted beside the sedan chair, only listening to the call of the master, the two of them woke up leisurely, did not dare to think about it anymore, the two quickly lifted the sedan chair and sent the master back to the house.
