Chapter 44: Instigation

"What this guy that guy does." Fan Mingyou looked puzzled.

Huo Shan became excited again, and said with his hands dancing: "Yesterday, at the court meeting of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jingzhao Yin Zhao Guanghan and Wei Xiang were in a fight, you didn't see it, and you all wanted to eat each other." โ€

Only then did Fan Mingyou understand and said, "These two people are a scourge to the Huo family, and it is best to lose both." That Zhao Guanghan has the ability and ambition, but his temperament is too violent. โ€

Huo Yu asked, "Are you familiar with him?" โ€

Fan Mingyou said: "Back then, I led the army to attack the Xiongnu for General Duliao, and Zhao Guanghan, as the Taishou of Yingchuan, also led an army to follow the Pu general Zhao Chongguo to fight against the Xiongnu, and I had dealings with him. โ€

Huo Yu patted the case and shouted: "Great, you just find an opportunity to associate with him, and ask him to compete for the phase, if you can depose Wei Xiang, it is the best." Zhao Guanghan has no strategy, it is easy to deal with. If Zhao Guanghan is defeated, it will not hurt us. โ€

Pham Minh Woo nodded in agreement.

Fan Mingyou has been removed from Weiyang Guard, Ren Guangluxun, after returning to Chang'an, he was also idle, and he went to Dongshi to hang out on this day.

The East Market was as lively as ever, he took a walk and passed a wine house, but saw a young and pretty girl from the Western Regions drinking wine.

The little girl from the Western Regions wore a long cardigan inside, with two symmetrical Lianli belts tied around her waist, and a short jacket with wide sleeves embroidered with a hehuan picture, and her posture was graceful.

She wore jewelry made of Lantian jade on her head, and two strings of Great Qin Orbs of the Western Regions hung on both ends of her hairpin, which drooped all the way to the back of her ears. Against the backdrop of the bright autumn light, the little girl is brimming with color, and it is more and more gorgeous and moving.

Fan Mingyou had been stationed in the Western Regions for many years, and when he saw that this little girl felt very cordial, he was about to come forward to talk, and the crowd on the street suddenly became commotion.

He turned to inspect and saw a group of young men fleeing in a panic, followed by many trappers with shields and whistle sticks. A few teenagers ran and even took out their slingshots and shot them backwards, and some of them ran slowly, grabbed by the officers and beat them violently.

Pham Minh stopped in a friendly way to watch the bustle, and after a while, a group of Jingzhao Mansion officers gathered around a two-wheeled chariot that was open on all sides.

Fan Mingyou recognized that it was Jingzhao Yin Zhao Guanghan sitting on the top of the car, so he raised his hand and called, "Zhao Jun." โ€

Zhao Guanghan turned his face when he heard the sound, recognized it as Fan Mingyou, and also raised his hand to greet with a smile, and ordered the driver to stop. He got out of the car and came over, and the two hugged each other, and they were also in a team.

Zhao Guanghan said: "I haven't seen the general for some days. โ€

Fan Mingyou said with a smile: "I took a break a few days ago, and I came out for a walk today, just to appreciate Zhao Jun's demeanor." โ€

Zhao Guanghan waved his hand and said, "I'm ashamed to be", and asked with concern: "General Xiumu, but you are not feeling well?" โ€

Fan Mingyou said: "There is no discomfort, but I suddenly remembered the old days, so I took a few days off to see some old friends who had been in the Western Regions." โ€

Zhao Guanghan said with emotion: "Back then, we waited to go to the Western Regions, but when we saw the sunset over the long river and the lonely smoke of the desert, how magnificent. His eyes were hazy, as if he was immersed in the glorious years of the past.

Fan Mingyou said with a smile: "Chang'an is also magnificent, but the scenery is different. He looked around again and asked, "Zhao Jun, what's going on?" โ€

Zhao Guanghan came back to his senses and said angrily: "These people are all gentlemen, they are really scoundrels and evildoers, they are idle all day long, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, I don't believe that they can't be cured." โ€

At this time, the captors had already captured the group of young men, found many slingshots and projectiles, and brought them over. Zhao Guanghan said disdainfully: "Look at these scoundrels and evil young people, they actually like to gather crowds to catapult birds and birds, and they are too boring." This ability cannot be used outside, and it is not enough to ban rats inside. โ€

Fan Mingyou laughed when he heard this, and complimented: "Back then, you were the Taishou of Yingchuan, and you captured the thieves in the county with a counter-plot to correct the law, and your prestige spread everywhere, and even the Huns were afraid of you. The emperor entrusted Jing Zhaoyin, which is appropriate. โ€

Although Zhao Guanghan said that he was "in his position", he could not hide his pride.

Fan Mingyou arched his hand and said: "Zhao Jun has official business, so it's inconvenient to disturb, so I'll go home." โ€

Zhao Guanghan called the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to take care of him for a few words, grabbed Fan Mingyou, and said, "I'm going back too, your mansion and Jingzhao Mansion are in Shangguan, I'll send you back." โ€

Fan Mingyou smiled: "There is Lao Zhaojun." "It's not a coincidence, and I'm looking for a chance to get close to him, and the opportunity comes.

Where did Zhao Guanghan know Fan Mingyou's thoughts, and said, "What are you and me polite about?" As he spoke, he pushed Fan Mingyou into the car and got into the car himself.

The two wheeled cars drove towards Shang Guanli. The breeze was warm, Zhao Guanghan looked left and right, and put on a look of looking at the world.

Fan Mingyou was secretly amused, as if he said casually: "Prime Minister Wei also praised you for governing the county well, and you are really a capable official. โ€

Zhao Guanghan snorted and said disdainfully: "What is he." โ€

Pham Minh Woo looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Guanghan did not hide it, and said: "Actually, the prime minister and me, water and fire. โ€

Fan Mingyou pretended not to understand, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Zhao Guanghan said: "You may not know about Xiu Mu a few days ago. I investigated and punished Su Xian, the mayor of Dongshi who was corrupt and perverted the law, who would have thought that Su Xian had a heart ache and died in Jingzhao Prison. Wei Xiang sued me in front of the emperor, saying that I had harmed the innocent. โ€

"Can the emperor condemn you?" Fan Minh Woo asked with concern.

Zhao Guanghan said proudly: "The emperor's decree is just to reduce my income by one grade." Wei Xiang wants to take my position as Jing Zhaoyin, how can it be so easy. He gritted his teeth and said: "I don't weigh my own weight, and sooner or later I will take away his position as prime minister." After that, he was shocked and speechless, glanced at Fan Mingyou, and found that Fan Mingyou seemed to nod in agreement.

When Fan Mingyou heard this, he chuckled in his heart, secretly thinking that you didn't hide it. So, with an expression of understanding, he had the heart to arch the fire again, and provoked: "The prime minister has won the trust of the emperor, and it is not so easy to take his position." โ€

Zhao Guanghan had already regarded Fan Mingyou as a bosom friend, and said: "If he breaks the law and falls into my hands, I will definitely not be able to spare him." โ€

Fan Mingyou sneered: "How can he, a prime minister, openly break the law and fall into your hands, fighting and fighting?" Theft and robbery? If there is a crime, it is also extremely secretive. Unless you have eyes and ears in his house, how can you know? โ€

Zhao Guanghan looked at Fan Mingyou with wide eyes. Fan Mingyou was stunned by his staring, and smiled reluctantly. Suddenly, Zhao Guanghan slapped the car and shouted, "The person who knows me is really Brother Fan, I have already sent a fine worker-" Speaking of this, Zhao Guanghan seemed to feel that something was wrong, and swallowed back the words behind.

Fan Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief. I was happy in my heart, secretly thinking that Zhao Guanghan was a shrewd person, and he had already sent Xizuo to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the two families would be on the bar. So he stopped talking, and suddenly found that the car had already passed through the house.

The coachman heard Zhao Guanghan slam the car slammed, and he didn't know what was going on, so he pulled the reins and stopped the car. Zhao Guanghan also felt a little out of shape at this time, and scolded the driver for how to stop the car.

Fan Mingyou said: "I have arrived, just get off the bus." โ€

Zhao Guanghan looked up and looked around, realized that he had missed Fan's Mansion, and instructed the coachman to quickly turn the car back. Fan Mingyou stopped and didn't let him turn around, got out of the car and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, I say goodbye here." Zhao Guanghan still looked very unhappy, and signaled that he would send him back to the house, Fan Mingyou waved his hand again and again, and the two said goodbye.

Looking at Zhao Guanghan's car gradually moving away, Fan Mingyou smiled in his heart: "It's done." He walked towards his mansion with his hands in hand. Suddenly, he felt that he was becoming more and more shameless, and the heroic righteousness that he was proud of back then was now gone, looking up at the sky, and his heart was stunned.

In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Xiangpan sat on the table, and put a dining table in front of him, on which some wine and food were placed. Seeing that he was sullen, Mrs. Wei did not ask too much, and ordered the maid to bring the wine and food quickly.

Wei Xiang took a small sip of wine, Mrs. Wei sat aside, picked up an empty dish, sandwiched a few pieces of carp, dipped some pepper sauce, pushed it in front of Wei Xiang, and said: "When you are old, eat more fish and vegetables, eat less meat, it is good for your health." โ€

Wei Xiang was still chewing the roasted meat in his mouth and said, "How expensive is the fish." โ€

"It's expensive, why keep the money?"

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "This is not like Madame's style." โ€

"I'm old, I figured it out."

Wei Xiang suddenly remembered something, put down the cup, and said with a serious expression: "Madam, there is something you need to know. Jing Zhao Yin Zhao Guanghan and I have a little discord, this person is narrow-minded, and he will repay him. Therefore, you instruct the people in the mansion to be cautious in their words and deeds outside, and not to provoke Jingzhao Mansion. โ€

Mrs. Wei looked at him in surprise and asked what was going on. Wei Xiang told the death of Su Xian, the mayor of Dongshi, and how the emperor dealt with it.

Mrs. Wei was indignant and said, "If you unjustly kill a person, you will be demoted to one level." โ€

Wei Xiang said: "So Zhao Guanghan is becoming more and more arrogant. โ€

Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "You are a prime minister, and you are afraid that he will not succeed as a Jingzhao Yin." โ€

Wei Xiang said helplessly: "It's not that I'm not afraid. This is the head snake of the earth, who knows when it will come out and bite you. โ€

Mrs. Wei thought for a moment and said, "This is also true, we have to be careful." After a while, she slapped her thigh and said, "I have a good idea." โ€

"Surprise me, what good ideas do you have." Wei Xiang disagreed, and took another sip of wine.

Mrs. Wei didn't care what his attitude was, and said to herself: "We will send Xizuo to Jingzhao Mansion, so that we will know Zhao Guanghan's every move, and we will not be afraid of him." After that, he was also very proud, and filled Wei Xiang's wine glass with wine.

"This is not a gentleman's doing." Wei Xiang took a sip of wine from his ear glass, and didn't think about denying it immediately.

Mrs. Wei smashed the wine jug on the table and shouted, "What a gentleman and villain, you forgot the days when you were imprisoned in the court lieutenant's prison." You don't have to worry about this, just know it. โ€

Wei Xiang said angrily: "I don't want to know." โ€

"Then if you know, you will be treated as if you don't know." Mrs. Wei glared at Wei Xiang with both eyes.

"Good, good. I know it, and I don't know it. Wei Xiang had no choice but to agree. Mrs. Wei then gave up.
