Chapter 100 – Some things can be done but not said

In the middle of March, spring has long been sweeping the entire world from north to south, whether it is the northern kingdom of the capital, or the south of Kyoto, all enveloped in a thriving scene. And the south of the river, green water, green hills hidden, along the river willow tree draws out tender green branches, but also write the word full of vitality.

Inside the library is in the southwest of Jiangnan Road, nature can not escape this nature’s creation, but a few days time, up and down the river, inside and outside the workshop, there are some green grass, light pink flowers, embellished with some of the original boring government offices and workshops, will be some of the hard and cold atmosphere weakened a lot of this place.

A peaceful, on the yamen should be the officials of the work piled full of smiles, in the yamen mouth arching greetings, the bloody storm has gone, tomorrow the Lord will be back to suzhou to preside over the treasury of the new year open tenders, these treasury transfer department of the officials of the mood are very relaxed.

The opening of the council, Fan Xian sat in the center of the position, the future arrangements slightly said, just these people do not have any close friends, speaking naturally is also a big set of words, such as the arrangement of the workshops, as well as reiterated once again outside of the Qing law, the court on the internal library of the revised statute, can not be violated!

Whether it’s wages or salaries, they must be paid in a timely manner, and the daily security and defense work must be more vigilant. As the officials listened to Mr. Qin’s words, they responded in kind, and with the five heads in front of them, no one would be foolish enough to contradict them in person.

Fan Xian arranged for Su Wenmao to stay, but he himself does not have the official position of the Department of Transportation, so he temporarily transferred his subordinates into the four, together with Shan Da to lead the internal library of the Procuratorate officials secret agents.

The officials know, Fan Xian in suzhou presided over the inner library after the opening of the door in the new year, will go to hangzhou to settle down, this is from many years ago, the formation of the rules, the transfer department will not live in the inner library of the main envoys – so, stay in the inner library of the SuWenMao, will be like the spokesman for the Lord of the QinZhou, that is not to be taken lightly, so the people hurriedly stood up to greet SuWenMao. So everyone hurriedly stood up and greeted Su Wenmao.

At the time when the top and bottom were getting along, Fan Xian’s brows furrowed a bit, and he said softly to the deputy envoy, Ma Kai, beside him, “I’m going to do the thing that I said last night.”

This was an outward show of respect to the deputy envoy, but Ma Kai shook his head repeatedly with a bitter face.

Senator Ye, who was sitting on Fan Xian’s right hand side, had a strange look in his eyes, wondering what Lord Qin was going to pull off again, and actually didn’t inform himself – his question was soon answered.

Su Wenmao smiled and walked to the front of the hall, arched his hands to all the adults, after returning the salute, read softly: “Today, it is found that some officials in the inner treasury transit division secretly do not do the right thing, provoking the treasury to make trouble, shaking the inner treasury fundamental …… gentlemen, offended.”

Along with offended this three words export, hit from the government office side came out seven or eight monitoring Yuan officials, honestly and nonchalantly please originally end of the chair on the several officials away from the seat, rude and insolent to go to their veil.

These officials were furious, and while pushing back, they chided, “How dare you!”

The rest of the officials of the Transit Division, once they saw that they were not being dealt with, were a little more at ease, but they knew deeply in their hearts the tactics of the Supervisory Court, and that the Qing Dynasty, full of civil officials, had a natural alliance before the Supervisory Court, and hastened to rise one after another, and squarely said to Fan Xian, “My lord, what is the reason for this?”

In fact, the crowd is not a fool, of course, know very well, at this time in the field was handed over by Fan Xian in addition to the black veil of the several, are these ten years in the Xinyang Princess Her Royal Highness inserted in the library of the cronies, the Lord of Chin’s move, is nothing more than to be the roots of the previous person to planing clean, and then replanted on their own saplings. Just …… about the face of the officials, the government office on top of this ferocious take people, the face of all the officials can not hang, can not help but to argue with Fan Xian on two sentences.

Fan Xian glanced at the officials and said gently, “You don’t have to be suspicious, but you also don’t have to plead for mercy, like these adults, this official is sure to take them down.”

Senator General Ye, who was sitting on his right hand side, looked a bit ugly and glanced at the deputy ambassador Ma Kai next to him, realizing that although the other party could not hide his embarrassment as well, there was no shock in his eyes, so he must have gotten Fan Xian’s notification last night. Thinking of this section, Ye Senator General’s mood began to dull up, muffled voice reported: “adults, these officials, in the Transit Division has served for a long time, has always been self-restraint and dedication to public service, on this …… took, I’m afraid …… some can not be said. ”

Fan Xian glanced at him, smiled and said, “Self-restraint? I’m afraid I can’t talk about it.”

Senator Ye’s face sank slightly as he said, “Even if there are occasional improprieties, but your honor’s three day order has already been given, and these adults have acted in accordance with your honor’s commands, and when it is explicitly stated that a crime should not be punished, it should not be punished.”

Fan Xian lowered his head, know this Ye general and other officials here why today to jump out against their own, the reason is actually very simple, the last suppression of the treasury strike, the general knew that simply can not stop their own finishing methods, and he used to press his hat is also big enough, the inner treasury stops work for a day, the court can not afford to lose, but this time to arrest these officials, but touched the most sensitive psychological defense line of the crowd, afraid of their own this part of the Supervisory Yuan. Fear of their own this part of the Supervisory Yuan, the Secretary of the Qinzhi adults as a reason, the big weaving net, the entire transit division are flipped over, hurt themselves.

For General Ye, his family is being pushed by the Emperor, plus Ye Ling’er’s relationship with His Highness has shown signs of leaning that way. Although General Ye has never received any secret messages from the Ye family in Dingzhou, he knows clearly at this time that Fan Xian is going to empty out the Princess’s inner coffers by taking someone today, and subconsciously wants to keep something for the Princess’s side. –He subconsciously wanted to preserve something for the Princess’s side – if Fan Xian was allowed to grow bigger in the inner treasury, General Ye was worried that he would not have a good life in the future either.

Fan Xian did not explain anything, but just pulled out a dossier from his pocket and handed it to General Ye.

Ye will be slightly stunned, took over the exhibition volume to take a close look, face gradually gloomy, only to see that the dossier written above all today’s arrest of the officials should be shady unlawful things, and the key is that the above charges are not deducted in the so-called bribery, but a bite of the several officials in the labor tide in the dishonorable role played by all the evidence, and even treasurers against the water of the confession are Clearly, for example, when an official has spoken with which treasurer, location characters written clearly, the mouth is very hard and accurate, is really the superior means of the Supervisory Yuan.

Looking at the dossier above a piece of evidence, the general’s heart can not help but gradually born chills, thinking that the Qinzhi adults only come to the treasury so many days, how will the transit division of all the details of the investigation so clear? And those Xinyang believers and the treasurers of the secret conversation, how the people of the Supervisory Yuan know so clearly? Could it be that the treasurer himself has the secret agents of the Supervisory Yuan? When he thought of this, General Ye remembered the terror of the Supervisory Board, those who have been described as the pervasive spies of the night vipers, he could not help but start to worry about himself, he could not have the eyes of the Supervisory Board in his own residence, right?

However, as the right to manage the internal library of a defense general, he is not very afraid of the Supervisory Yuan, one to himself is the third grade, the Supervisory Yuan did not not ask for the decree on the power to investigate their own, two as a member of the military, regardless of faction, the Supervisory Yuan to see the Qing military’s strong strength, always have to give a two-point thin face. In the matter of the labor tide, Senator Ye thought that his performance was good enough, today, it really involves the face of the Princess, as well as the matter of the imperial sons of Kyoto, he forced himself to stand up with his inner uneasiness, and made a salute to Fan Xian, and said earnestly, “Your Excellency, this …… ”

After all, he was a general’s status, and the words of pleading for mercy were somehow organized. Fan Xian looked at him with a smile, shook his head, and said, “There is no need to plead for mercy.”

Senator General Ye was terrified in his heart that the Dingzhou side had always refused to come with a message, and he simply didn’t know exactly how to stand in line, which had put him in the dilemma he was in right now, but Fan Xian had done it first, so he clenched his teeth and forcibly and boldly said, “But, my lord, these are the officials of the Transit Division, and I don’t know if your lordship is going to take them, whether in the capacity of being the main envoy of the Transit Division, or in the capacity of the lord of the Inspection Yuan’s Tisi , or in the capacity of Lord Titus of the Supervisory Court?”

He lowered his voice and said, “My lord, even if it’s the Qinzhi taking people, and the evidence is indeed there, but if the case is to be tried, it will take many days to open the courtroom, and this …… inner treasury will be open.”

Fan Xian glanced at him, but some surprise at the other side of the courage, a little thought will understand a little. If you want to take these officials, with what method to take is a great deal of care, if it is the identity of the Supervisory Bureau to investigate the case, then the transmission back to Kyoto, will lead to the court discussion, the court of the elders are afraid to think that they are against the Princess how how, if it is to use the transfer division of the identity of the ambassador or the case of the Qinzhi, but this time has been delayed.

But who is Fan Xian? How would he care about the comments in Kyoto, smiled and said, “Senator Ye, don’t worry, this official has always believed in the laws of Qing, and will not act recklessly, today took these officials, for the sake of fairness, this official will not personally try the case.”

Ye will be slightly stunned, thought as long as you do not personally try the case, no matter who is to try, always look at the tendency of the Kyoto, with Fan Xian this promise, he is good to the Kyoto account, then nerdily back, just curious Fan Xian does not personally try the case, then is ready to these officials will be shut in the library? This …… also can’t be shut down all the time ah, the court will always send a rustic inquiry.

“I will take them on the road with me.” Fan Xian said, “The inner treasury is also a member of the court, and although it has never dealt too much with the officials in the court, in terms of rules, it still has to come under the control of the Jiangnan Road.”

He looked at the many uneasy looking officials under the hall and said soothingly, “This official knows what you are worried about, please rest assured, this official is not a person who holds grudges and retaliation, as previously said with the senator general adults, for the sake of fairness, this official will not personally interrogate these people, but …… give them to the governor of Suzhou. ”

He smiled and said, “By Lord Xue interrogating the case, I think all of you will not have any more doubts.” He looked at the Elder Princess’s beloved ones who were still in the middle of the field confronting the officials of the Supervisory Court, a hint of anger flashed at the corner of his lips, and he said, “When did arresting people turn into a game of eagle catching chickens?”

Su Wenmao’s face slightly red, fiercely stared at his men twice, the Supervisory Yuan officials were ashamed of their hearts, stepped forward a few Foshan Shadowless Feet made out, kicked those officials of the inner treasury who were still screaming about crashing into the sky, fiercely refusing to obey to the ground, and tied up solidly.

The officials in front of the hall couldn’t help but shake their heads, and wanted to persuade Lord Qin to save some face for the officials, but as soon as they thought of Fan Xian’s previous soft and cold performance, they were deterred by the gentle coldness and temperamental moodiness, and didn’t dare to plead for leniency again. As a subordinate, he was not afraid of his superior’s harshness, but was afraid of his superior’s temperamental behavior, and didn’t know when he would offer that knife again.

Fan Xian’s last meeting at the Inner Treasury ended there. After the court was dismissed, he kept the deputy envoy, Ma Kai, and the two of them were in the garden at the back of the mansion, getting close to the scent of spring on the one hand, and talking about things with the sternness of autumn on the other.

“Don’t blame me for coming down too hard.” Fan Xian rubbed the corners of his eyes, which were a bit dry, and said, “Since they dared to make a move at the very beginning of my inauguration, don’t blame me for taking down their crow’s feet.”

Ma Kai smiled bitterly. Although nominally he and Fan Xian were vice-positive second envoys, and it didn’t seem like there was much difference in rank, he knew that in reality, the power in the hands of this young master in front of him was staggeringly great, and even a lot more terrifying than that of the imperial princes, and so last night, when Fan Xian discussed with him the need to clear out the Elder Princess’s minders with regard to the inner treasury, although he expressed a small amount of concern, and also excused those officials a bit, he wouldn’t dare to oppose it face to face in any way.

Today, Fan Xian once again left him alone, and in front of his own face to say such honest words, Ma Kai clear, the other party is ready to cultivate himself as a beloved, secretly slightly happy, but also some concern, after all, who does not know how many years later, in front of this young master, and those in Kyoto, in fact, who won and who lost.

The court officials for the attribution of the dragon chair is also extremely sensitive, although it seems, of course, is the crown prince is on the throne, but his majesty’s performance in these two years seems to be too strange, so who do not dare to fully believe, if it is said to be the second prince is on the throne,…… it is known to all, Fan Tisi and the second prince can be out of place, and if they are determined to follow Fan Tisi, the future second prince inherited the great treasure, and the future is not the same. In the future, the second prince inherited the throne, he must not have a good end.

This is the aspect that Ma Kai has been secretly worried about, but he is also clear, although the official field to meet with the left and right, but in the matter of important stand on the issue, the most taboo is to do the wall grass, today Fan Xian in the last day of the last day to leave the inner treasury, once again talk to himself, of course, is to want to show their attitude.

Ma Kai had already thought about it last night, so he wasn’t flustered and calmly said, “What your honor suggests is what I would like to request. This matter the next official will immediately write two documents, one sent to the door under the middle book, one immediately fast riding sent to the Suzhou Governor’s Office, please …… adults rest assured.”

As soon as Fan Xian heard this, he knew that Ma Kai knew to tie up his own thighs, and even went so far as to use these two instruments to share the speech attacks that Fan Xian might be subjected to, and to use them to show his camp to the people in the officialdom …… that he was determined. He gently glanced at Ma Kai and said, “Lord Ma has a heart.”

Ma Kai smiled and responded, “As deputy envoy of the inner treasury, my humble servant should have been checking on his subordinate officials, and it was already dereliction of duty on my part to allow them to cause trouble this time.”

Fan Xian laughed, and after a long time, he spoke again, “I wonder if Lord Ma thinks this official’s disposition today is appropriate?”

Ma Kai thought for a while, and then respectfully replied, “Your honor has a far-sighted plan, and it is a good one, the officials are not like the treasurer, they can’t be killed casually, and they can’t be tortured casually, if they are interrogated in the Transit Division, it will take too long, and it will be easy for people to criticize them, your honor will take these criminals to Suzhou tomorrow, and hand them over to the Governor to be interrogated by the governor, and the governor, Lord Xue, is the pillars of the country, and he is known for his reputation and popularity. He is a pillar of the country, with a prestigious official reputation and a high reputation, and will surely be able to clear up this case on behalf of the court and give His Majesty an excellent explanation.”

Fan Xian secretly praised in his heart, this deputy ambassador will really guess his own mind clearly, the inner library of Xinyang believers, Fan Xian of course, to make a method to clear out, although the matter of the tide of the workers gave himself an excellent excuse, but if completely by their own hands, by no means very appropriate, the matter of the Princess Prince of these nobles in the palace, the hot potato thrown to the super ranked officer is a wonderful move, one to the Governor of the south road has jurisdiction over this matter, two, the Governor of the south road has jurisdiction over this matter, the Governor of the south road has jurisdiction over this matter. The Governor of Jiangnan Road has jurisdiction over this matter, two to Xue Qing although he will secretly scolded himself two, but he is a feudal official, stand in a different position, of course, not very afraid of the Princess far away from Kyoto, on the contrary, there will be some scruples in the hinterland of Jiangnan Fan Xian, the two weigh each other, Xue Qing should be very clear about what he should do.

“Before I came here, Shao An mentioned to me that this cousin is quite talented in helping the world, and it seems that Shao An really didn’t talk big these past few days.” Fan Xian smiled and changed the topic, and began to use Ren Shao’an as a middleman once again to close the distance between the two of them.

Ma Kai said with a smile, “Two years ago, when Mr. Si came to the capital, he and Shao’an became friends at first sight, and when Shao’an wrote to me, he often mentioned that he was a great talent, and that he would be a minister of the world in the future.”

The two envoys talked to each other very happily, exchanging high hats and horse’s ass, and in the words agreed on the future of the inner treasury line of protocols, which will arch hands farewell.

Sent to the garden door, looking at Ma Kai’s slightly bowed body, Fan Xian blinked, it seems that there are really quite a lot of powerful people in the imperial court, just that those people are always less than their own past life’s favor, so there is not too much opportunity to show just. Today’s matter is certain, the inner treasury will not be a big obstacle, he also consciously relaxed, and to the transfer department in the work of cronies, in the middle of the year will gradually start, with the help of Ma Kai, this thing to do will be very smooth.

At this time, Fan Xian just can’t guess, exactly what, let Ma Kai chose himself, rather than the legitimate prince – this is certainly not because of the Taichang Temple Junior Secretary Ren Shao’an and his close relationship can not be swayed.

In fact, the reason for Ma Kai’s defection was very simple: because of the relationship between the Third Prince and Fan Xian, it allowed him to place a big bet on his future eunuch career as well as the rise and fall of his family, and he …… put his silver, all of it, on the small!

Sending away Vice-Envoy Ma, ushering in the Seven Shopkeepers. On the day before he would be leaving the inner treasury, Fan Xian appeared to be extraordinarily busy. Seven leaves is this time with Fan Xian south of the four cabinet in the leader, now he has been Qing Yu Hall director, these years has been for the Fan House of wealth, and Fan Sicheng extremely get along with Fan Xian is also familiar with, so some even dare not test other cabinet things, Fan Xian in front of his face, but can be very direct to say out.

An old and a young two people come together to whisper, but always is the future of the management and production of the internal library of the problem. Fan Xian knew that he was a layman in terms of production management and chemistry and physics, so he delegated all of his power in this area to Seven Leaves. He didn’t have much to offer, but one thing he did have was the ability to use people without question. Nowadays, it was like this in the inner library, and in the past, it was also like this in Kyoto, but wherever it involved constructing and weaving a yang conspiracy plan, it was all handled by that Xiao Yan Gongzi who was around, and Fan Xian absolutely believed in the other party’s professional ability and would not idiotically point his finger at it.

After confirming a matter, Fan Xian put down his heart, when the old Ye family is so red hot, now in the hands of the shopkeepers under the hands, can also be gradually reversed these recent years within the library mismanagement, the quality and quantity of production problems, as long as you can sell more silver to go, on the emperor has a preliminary account. This is Fan Xian’s current concern.

“The matter of defaulting on wages can never happen again.” Fan Xian frowned and sighed, “The cargo caliber barrier, you old man also put more controls on it.”

Seven Leaves glanced at him, somewhat puzzled as to why Lord Tiji kept thinking about things like wages, but of course he couldn’t figure out why. Today, the spring light filled the garden, the old shopkeeper looked at Fan Xian’s handsome face, somehow a little lost in thought, in his heart secretly thought, although the young master and the young lady don’t look much like each other, but they are both the most refreshing characters on earth – now the young master has finally regained the Ye family’s property, although it’s just a proxy, but the old shopkeeper still has some hard to hold back the emotion, in his heart he sighs tersely The old shopkeeper still had some hard feelings and sighed in his heart, but on his face he hid it very well. The reason why they had to cover it up was because the close to twenty years of house arrest in Kyoto had made it clear to these old shopkeepers that there were some things that could only be done but not said, but any sign that was revealed would bring unnecessary trouble to the young master.

“I was thinking of asking you to go to North Qi to help the oldest …… man” Fan Xian did not notice the psychological activities of the seven leaves, said with a bitter smile, “I did not think that those eunuchs would follow all the time, and the palace looked extremely strict, so I had to let you come to the inner treasury as well. ”

Seven leaves smiled and said, “The eunuchs look at your face, nowadays to us is already very gentle, the second young master is born to be the material of business, adults do not have to worry, as for the inner library …… you should also know, I am very eager to come back to see.”

Fan Xian fell silent, and after a long time said, “Su Wenmao is here, if you old few have any discomfort, or who dares to raise an eyebrow at you, say something to him, I explained …… that since I’m out of the capital, of course I can’t suffer from holding back my breath again.”

Seven leaves heart touched, but did not say anything.

A gust of wind blew over, the tender green leaves on the green tree in the courtyard had not yet been born firmly, but was actually scraped down, Fan Xian lightly yelped, casually fished in his hand, looking at the break of that new green, his brows wrinkled for a long time.

After a long time, he asked softly and quietly, “Can the craft …… be copied?”

Seven Leaf’s body trembled slightly, and after a long time, he shook his head, “Deadly rules, can’t be put into words, can only be passed down by word of mouth.”

Fan Xian said, “Drawings can never be passed on orally.”

Seven Leaves shook his head, “I was looking at it tightly earlier, but now I don’t even know where it is.”

Fan Xian thought for a while, and a smile surfaced on his face, “In a few months, come to Hangzhou and tell me about it, I have a good memory.”
