Chapter 621: Kyoto is about to change
Chen Pingping coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should I do next?" β
Emperor Qing glanced at him, and suddenly sighed lightly: "Do you remember, what name did the Queen Mother use to levy the Ye family back then?" β
Chen Pingping said softly: "Rebellion." β
"Hmm." The emperor said expressionlessly, "Back then, you and Fan Jian also agreed to this proposal, after all, it was something left by Xiao Yezi, one can't be messed up, and the other can't be released, after she leaves, only the royal family has the ability to rein in and protect the Ye family's industries to continue to operate." β
"Not bad." Chen Pingping said calmly, "At the beginning, we thought that since everyone had already gone, she would not mind if there was any crime, but we didn't expect that after seventeen years, it would become a little tricky." β
The emperor said coldly: "What's so tricky, the will comes from me, and I rehabilitated the Ye family, who in this world dares to make irresponsible remarks?" β
"No."
Chen Pingping replied categorically.
Such a reaction seems to have come as a bit unexpected to His Majesty.
I only heard Chen Pingping continue: "Your Majesty has pity for Fan Xian's child, but this matter must not be allowed, after all, Your Majesty, you still have to consider the feelings of the Queen Mother and her old man." β
Emperor Qing frowned and said, "...... What do you think should be done? β
Chen Pingping said with a smile: "Ignore it and let Fan Xian die without admitting it." β
Emperor Qing sighed: "Dealing with it like this, Fan Xian can't help but be embarrassed, how can he deal with himself in the court?" β
Chen Pingping's face remained unchanged: "Taking over the Inner Treasury and the Supervision Yuan is a lonely move. β
Emperor Qing scolded with a smile: "You old thing, do you want to confirm his identity so much and let him inherit the Supervision Yuan?" β
Chen Pingping also said with a smile: "The Supervision Yuan is an important weapon of the country, and it must be controlled by His Majesty, and the position of the dean is either designated by His Majesty himself, or it must be handed over to the royal family, but if the prince is in power, it will inevitably give birth to a rebellious heart." β
"In the whole country, only Fan Xian's identity is the most suitable ......"
Emperor Qing bowed slightly, obviously agreeing with Chen Pingping's judgment.
Chen Pingping looked at his expression, and suddenly asked again: "But Your Majesty, ...... the eldest princess over there?"
Emperor Qing came back to his senses, and the smile on his face gradually converged.
After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "Let's see what she does next!" β
Chen Pingping said unrelentingly: "What if the eldest princess comes to fall into the well in front of His Majesty?" β
Emperor Qing said slowly: "Then wait for the mission to leave, let her go back to her fiefdom!" β
Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair and arched her hands with a respectful expression.
He knew that expelling the eldest princess from Beijing was already the emperor's heaviest punishment.
And this punishment was only because she privately encircled the important ministers of the court of the Supervision Yuan, and other behaviors, even if she betrayed Yan Bingyun later, was only scolded by the emperor for two sentences at most.
This is the royal family, the celestial dragon people who are high up in Qingguo.
Just when Chen Pingping was sarcastic in her heart, Emperor Qing glanced at him, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "In my life, it is also beautiful, but I didn't expect that I was still in the prime of life, but I became a real loner, except for you and Brother Jian, I couldn't find a person I trusted completely." β
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Pingping was stunned for a moment, and just as she wanted to say something, Emperor Qing waved her sleeve robe.
"Go, Zhu Ge betrayed the Inspectorate, he should be punished, you go and deal with him......"
"Minister...... Obey! β
Chen Pingping said yes, and her father-in-law, who was waiting on the side, immediately stepped forward, pushed the wheelchair and turned to leave.
It's just that when she turned around, a trace of coldness and murderous intent flashed in the deepest part of Chen Pingping's eyes.
β¦β¦ Trust?
Xiao Yezi also trusted you back then, but what was the result?
Your Majesty, trust, but it will lead people into the abyss......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At the same time, Fan Xian was happy to see the news spread, but on the surface he pretended to be secretive, and no longer went back and forth between Fan's Mansion and the bookstore as frequently as he had a few days ago.
Fan Xian is closed, but the rumors in Kyoto are intensifying.
Some people are even quietly whispering that Xiao Fan Gongzi is actually the blood and blood of the emperor and the mistress of the Ye family, but because of his status as an illegitimate child, it is inconvenient to enter the royal family, so he is fostered in Fan Shilang's house.
Undoubtedly, this is also the handiwork of the Supervisory Yuan.
It's just that the eldest princess has put the news in front of her, even if she continues to track it down, she can only put this black pot on the eldest princess's head.
The referees, the ball certificates, the circumstantial evidence, and the organizers are all my people.
Even your actions are behind me, how can you fight me?
Fan Xian laughed at the eldest princess in his heart, but soon, he forgot about it.
After all, the reason why he did this was not just to frame the eldest princess, nor did he care about the subsequent impact of this news.
Because in a few days, this Kyungkuni Kyoto will completely change the sky!
In the following days, Qingguo Honglu Temple began to negotiate with the Northern Qi mission.
Fan Xian, as the deputy envoy of the reception, was supposed to participate in it.
But because of the messages these days, the emperor acquiesced to him not having to participate, and Honglu Temple turned one eye open and closed another.
At the same time, because Chen Pingping took Zhu Ge in advance, the eldest princess was extremely frightened by the news that Fan Xian was the emperor's illegitimate son, so she did not meet and trade with Zhuang Mohan, a master in the Northern Qi literary circle, as in the original book.
She was busy dealing with the traces of the news at the beginning, and she didn't want the emperor to find out that she did it.
It's a pity that the emperor has known about it for a long time, and has been waiting for her to explain.
But the eldest princess was lucky, and she just greeted the saint several times, and she had no intention of turning herself in.
The Emperor was so disappointed that he finally summoned her one night, sneering and telling her all about the results of the Inspectorate's investigation and the death of one of the hosts, Zhu Ge.
Only then did the eldest princess understand everything, and sat down on the ground in a distraction, dragged back by the palace guards and grounded.
The reason for the grounding is mainly that the Northern Qi mission has not yet left.
When the peace talks are over and the Northern Qi mission leaves Beijing, the emperor will immediately release the main stream of Changgong into a fief.
It's just that what the emperor doesn't know is that this day may never come.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After another three days, the negotiations between the two countries gradually came to an end.
Because the eldest princess of this world did not have time to betray Yan Bingyun, the Northern Qi delegation had the upper hand in the negotiations, and even if they fought on the basis of reason, they had to reluctantly cede the land and pay compensation in the end.
Emperor Qing Longyan Dayue, intended to feast the envoys of the two countries.
After this banquet, the Northern Qi delegation was about to leave Beijing and return to China with a full body of shame.
Because of this, Fan Xian, who was the deputy envoy of the reception, naturally had to go to the palace for a banquet.
After all, Honglu Temple has been instructed by the emperor to write a rather beautiful political achievement for him, although everyone knows that this is gilded, but at this last moment, it is more or less necessary to show his face.
Fan Mansion, Fan Xian sorted out his clothes, instructed his sister Fan Ruoruo to take care of everyone in the house, and then together with his father Fan Jian, he got into a carriage and rushed to the New Year's Hall located in the outer city of the palace.
In the carriage, Fan Jian looked at Fan Xian with a somewhat complicated expression.
Since Fan Xian's showdown with him, Fan Jian has been living in seclusion, making it clear that he doesn't want to choose between Fan Xian and the emperor.
But at this moment, in the face of the wind and rain in the city, Fan Xian still had a calm smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, Fan Jian finally couldn't help it.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
Fan Xian smiled slightly, did not answer, but solemnly instructed: "Dad, at the banquet, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive, if you really can't help it, think about your aunt, think about Ruoruo and Sizhen, and Danzhou's grandmother......"
Fan Jian was shocked: "Do you want to attack the emperor in front of the palace? β
Fan Xian shook his head: "It's not me, it's someone who wants to attack him." β
Fan Jian frowned tightly: "Who, Heavenly Court?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Fan Xian sighed: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that there are some things that you can't know." β
This sentence is naturally Fan Xian's pretending to be profound.
There is no way, everyone around him, whether it is his adoptive father Fan Jian, his fiancΓ©e Lin Wan'er, or his future mother-in-law, the eldest princess, as well as his two blood brothers, the crown prince and the second prince......
These people are either his relatives and friends, or they are his enemies.
But regardless of their status, they all had a constant relationship with the emperor.
If Fan Xian wanted to act according to Nie Changchuan's advice, he would inevitably make the relatives and friends of the Goodwill Emperor sad because of this, so Nie Changchuan suggested that it was best for him to stay out of this matter and put on a look of adding fuel to the fire and taking advantage of the situation.
In this way, it will not make them feel sorry for Fan Xian.
After that, Fan's carriage fell silent and drove silently all the way into the palace.
Outside the hall of prayer, the ritual music is magnificent, the red lanterns are hung high, and the guests come and go from all over the place, and the flow is endless, a brilliant and prosperous scene.
The Northern Qi mission and the Dongyi guests were welcomed by the guests of honor in Qingguo, and stepped on the long passage with a smile on their faces, looking at the expressions of the three parties, it seemed that the world was unusually peaceful, and the war and assassination in the past few days had not happened at all.
Fan Xian and his father Fan Jian got out of the carriage and blended into the official flow together.
After entering the main hall, Fan Xian separated from Fan Jian.
Fan Jian, as a household servant and a close confidant of the emperor, is naturally the best in the seat ranking.
And Fan Xian is a lowly official, but he is also the deputy envoy of reception, so he can be arranged to sit down on the desk in the middle.
Sitting behind the desk full of food plates and wine syrup, Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and glanced around with a handsome smile.
I saw that the famous people in the palace gathered, and the beautiful palace maids walked back and forth in the grand palace, serving food plates and wine syrup to the guests.
On the side of the guest of honor of Qingguo sat many members of the royal family and important ministers of the court that Fan Xian was familiar with, such as the crown prince and the second prince, as well as his future father-in-law, the prime minister Lin Ruofu.
In addition, there were many heads of various ministries that Fan Xian had never seen, as well as some princes and nobles.
After a cursory sweep, in the entire Qingguo court, it seems that only President Chen of the Supervision Yuan said that he was ill in the future.
And opposite the courtiers of Qingguo, sat the official envoys of the Northern Qi Mission and the Dongyi City Mission.
Among them, there are the first apprentices of the Sigu Sword, Yun Zhilan, the master of the Nine Grades, and the heavyweights of the Northern Qi Mission, Zhuang Mohan, a literary master who is regarded as a teacher by the world's scholars because of his annotation of scriptures and countless articles.
β¦β¦ Very good, full of people!
Fan Xian bowed slightly, chuckled and picked up a glass of wine syrup.
