Chapter 46: A Little Bit of Illness Doesn’t Hurt Viewing the Falling Leaves

During this period of time, the Supervisory Academy, under the wise guidance of Fan Tisi, and under the specific command of Prince Xiao Yan, armed itself to the teeth, nonchalantly tearing into the interests of the Second Prince’s faction from the officials to the economic aspects, and forcefully occupying an extremely favorable position, using the matter of the Moon Embracing House as a guide, and the matter of assassination outside of the Kyoto Prefecture as the root, turning to fight up and down the court, inside and outside of the Dazao Merchant House, and digging into the deepest depths of the other side’s souls, intriguing and plotting with one flash of thought, approaching step by step.

First of all, unsurprisingly, one of the eight generals, Xie Bian, died violently in the Kyoto Prefecture prison, which naturally gave the Supervisory Yuan an excellent excuse, and the Yuan, in the form of a joint meeting, handed three medals to the palace, and the Kyoto Prefect, Tian Jingmu, was finally suspended from his duties to look at the situation.

The second prince’s stupid move for self-preservation made the courtyard a loop, directly removing the second prince’s biggest reliance in the capital. On the other hand, Yan Bingyun began to use other means, successfully control the Xinyang to Kyoto to support a few interceptions, forcing the Cui family in fear, do not know how much money lost, had to be forced to mobilize the funds of the family in Jiangnan, in order to force through the north because of Shen Chong’s death and disconnected routes, the second prince side of the money into the account began to shrink.

Public opinion for the second prince’s faction is also extremely unfavorable, although the royal family also has a strategy master, but how can we not be as bad as the action of the Supervisory Yuan and professionalism, and eight propaganda personnel compared to the royal family sent to the teahouse restaurant fellows, there is no compelling power, although the Supervisory Yuan down extremely harsh, but the people of Kyoto still hidden in the side of the Fan family, and always feel that the missing Fan family! The second young master, is for the second prince as a scapegoat, which provoked the little Fan Lord under the hard hand counterattack.

As for Hongcheng …… this poor Prince Jing s son, his reputation is even more stinking to an outrageous degree, who told him to have an affair with Yuan Meng? Kyoto people all know that next spring time, Li Hongcheng is going to marry the big miss of the Fan family, but you instructed Fan Si Zhe, a mere fourteen year old teenager, to open a brothel, and also made him carry the pot of sewage that is the prostitute s murder case! –Motherfucker, is there a brother-in-law in this world who so shamelessly utilizes his own brother-in-law?

For a while, whether it was in the official arena or otherwise, the Second Prince’s faction was beaten back, their momentum was low, and they had no power to fight back. They only ever tried to fight back, is the Princess controlled by the Academy, just those royal historians wasted effort, all the actions of the Supervisory Yuan, all rely on the regulations of the Qing law and line, there is not a trace of people caught in the handle of the place. As for the rainy night assassination of three hold the moon building murder witnesses, is a pile of headless murder, even if someone guessed that the Supervisory Yuan do, but where is the evidence?

The attitude of the Supervisory Yuan towards the assassination is also very simple and clear – those three people were personally sent to the Kyoto government office by the family of Fan Tisi, how could they die outside the Kyoto government? If there was a problem, Tian Jingmu, the Kyoto Prefect who had befriended the Second Prince, was the one with the biggest problem!

Fan Xian is extremely satisfied with the results of the current battle, anyway, the bottom line of the palace is there, he can not directly drive the second prince out of the capital, as long as the power of the old man will be weakened to the point that it is difficult to threaten himself again, to beat the old man in pain, chatting out of the old family of the Fan’s a mouthful of bad temper, this is enough.

Up to this point, the terrifying power of the Supervisory Yuan has only been partially displayed.

The reason why this action can be so smooth, on the one hand is that Chen Pingping borrowed that paper transfer order to allocate all the authority to Fan Xian, and more importantly, Fan Xian’s action, in the Northern Qi Beijing has already begun to plan. Since the summer into the fall, he and Yan Bingyun have been preparing for a long time, at that time to submit to the imperial readings of the son of the second prince and the relationship between the eldest princess of the problem, only last time, his majesty did not send, and this time because of the embrace of the moon building of the matter, Fan Xian borrowed the anger, will be the matter of advance out of it.

With the intention of counting, with a strong wind blowing thin clouds, this battle if the Supervisory Yuan still can not win, Chen Pingping is afraid that will be angry from the wheelchair jump up, scolded this bunch of little brats damage the prestige of their own family!

The palace has been keeping a secretive silence, all the nobles including the second prince’s birth mother, Shu Guifei, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and the Empress are all as if they are deaf and blind, discreetly refraining from making any comments, and it is clear to everyone that this is looking at His Majesty’s attitude.

What is His Majesty doing?

News has come out of the palace that His Majesty has invited a section of the Jiangnan Road to the palace to sing a grand opera! At this time of the year, Kyoto is stormy, but His Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom, still had time to accompany the Empress Dowager, watched a day of theater, and rewarded many baskets of coins, indescribably happy and relaxed!

Now everyone finally see the situation clearly, dare our long-lived master simply do not think that this kind of small things worth watching, eyelids are not lazy to lift a bit, young people in the capital of the small fights, where there is Jiangnan famous theater troupe play the play good-looking?

After seeing the situation clearly, the court officials, who had been maintaining neutrality, used their sharp minds to realize the fact that Fan Xian’s favor had reached such an astonishing level! Who was Fan Xian’s opponent? It was the Second Prince, His Majesty’s own son! His Majesty actually managed to be so unbiased …… this, this, what kind of favor is this?

These people, however, didn’t dare to offend the Second Prince, so they had to stand more firmly, firmly standing on the wall, sticking their feet in the mud, tenaciously practicing the grassroots spirit, swaying from side to side, but refusing to fall to whichever side they pleased.

This fact, however, let the second prince himself sucked in countless mouths of cool air in succession, knowing that he had developed his forces in the dynasty without saying a word over the years, and it turned out to be all in his father’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but think, could it be that …… Fan Xian’s return to the capital and targeting of himself had been secretly authorized by the palace? However, this second highness is also a bit sinister people, know that at this time the situation can not afford to retreat, even if he is willing to put down the face of the emperor, hoping to shake hands with Fan Xian for the second time, the other party does not see this mood, and the emperor’s ambiguous attitude, so that the second prince knows, if you can not beat Fan Xian down, then only waiting for Fan Xian will be knocked down to the dust – -as the tea store had said.

Under this kind of strong pressure, the second prince again reluctantly shot, the imperial inspectorate again collective impeachment of Fan Xian, this time to participate in the crime is extremely real, take the evidence is also extremely solid, in short, with Fan Si Zhe whole out of those things are not related to, and even with also participated in the Ministry of household secretary Fan Jian. That snowflake general zhangzhang to the door of the province handed, completely skipped the Ministry of Justice, the Da Lisi those yamen, directly requesting Fan’s father and son off the stage to ask for a crime, and froze to put out a fish out of water position.

This day, dozens of admonition put out more than the last impeachment Fan Xian bigger battle, straight kneeling in front of the palace door. Today there is no rain, the greenish gray square in front of the palace dozens of with the autumn wind and slightly dancing Chu color official uniforms appear particularly eye-catching, let those to and from the palace gate at the court of the great masters can not help but have shaken their heads, and then ducked into the corner door, do not dare to go to care about this idle matter.

According to the law of Qing, the officials shall be on the folding of self-defense. And like this impeachment criminal lawsuit, the Fan father and son must personally enter the palace to apologize to His Majesty, and then explain clearly at the court meeting. But on the court, the second prince’s faction is still very powerful, the debate in front of the temple is really not good for Fan’s father and son.

The imperial inspectors are full of confidence, waiting for Fan Jian Fan Xian, the biggest pair of “corrupt officials” in Qing Dynasty to be honestly knocked down by themselves, because this time is different from the last time, this time they have evidence with the help of the second prince, enough to prove that the Fan family and even the Liu’s Zhongyi Mansion, and the infamous brothel of the Moon Lantern House, are not at all out of the picture! They kneeled on the ground, somewhat excitedly!

They were kneeling on the ground, waiting for Fan Xian’s arrival with some excitement–even if the Fan family had sent Fan Sithe away, and taken Moonhugging House off their hands, and even if His Majesty had extended his mercy, the evidence of the crime was all there, and the Fan family would always have to pay the corresponding price–they waited for the domineering The Supervisory Academy’s Tishee appeared in front of an iron-shouldered imperial historian such as himself to admit his mistake, plead guilty, and bow his head!

Not only were the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, but in fact many people were ready to see how the Fan family, or the Supervisory Yuan, would face this raging impeachment at a time when the Fan family or the Supervisory Yuan was in the midst of a great flourish. Officials were all about face, and to be bitten to death like this by the Duzhaoyuan was really a very humiliating thing. And as we all know, Fan Xian is a person who is extremely important to the reputation, so the officials are more interested, even including Shu Wu Da Shi, all holding a bad taste or revenge or mockery of the heart, ready to see Fan Xian’s woeful appearance.

But no one expected that when His Majesty called, Fan Xian did not come! Not only did he not come, but even Fan Shangshu did not come, and this pair of father and son tacitly and shamelessly used the same trick – to escape from illness!

Hear this news, the second prince first froze, did not think that the Fan family not only in the interests of the general like a hungry wolf, pissed off on the indiscriminate bite, actually in the face of such a branch of the problem, also do so absolute, even let yourself earn back some face of the opportunity are not to give …… absolute, this master and two really absolute.

Older, always hiding in the corner door outside the council room drinking tea Shu Wu University doctor, after hearing the news, but a mouthful of tea sprayed out. He went to the Imperial College and Fan Xian played a few games of chess that day, the boy promised well, the results of the turn of the hand in Kyoto made such a big storm, but also said that they do not want to “eat”! Shu was surface respect, inside a stomach of bad water Fan Xian gas nearly spit blood, I expect today’s meeting, can look at Fan Xian defeated look, did not expect this kid actually claimed to be sick not to come, which let the old bachelor to watch the drama out of anger of the heart can not be expressed in the chest, good life upset.

Fan’s father and son sued the news of the disease to the temple, is reviewing the counties to send folders of His Majesty the emperor also froze, and then frowned, did not say anything.

The ladies in the harem also know about this matter, laughing and cursing this Fan’s child is really a heartless, do not know to let his majesty less distracted some, I do not know how Yi Chen married such a malefactor, at first looked at is full of poetry and Hua, and now look, is a whine full of scoundrels.

The most disappointed, no more than kneeling outside the palace door of those who are inspector generals, since the head of the claim that the disease does not come, and then kill the momentum of the array, but also did not have a point of force, vigorously with the empty, they have a piece of the heart of the emptiness, so hard, downcast dispersed, and even on the body of the Chu color of the official uniforms have no energy to hang pasted in the body around, not bothering to pay attention to the teasing of the autumn wind.

People are eating grains and cereals grew up, and is not a diamond body, where there will be no ailments, but like Fan’s two such a disease so coincidental, sick so fierce, it is said that they can not get out of bed things …… are also too strange, especially Fan Xian is still the supervision of the Academy fee mediator’s personal disciple, although not practicing medicine, but even the palace imperial doctors know your How is it possible to suddenly fall ill?

Not only the court officials do not believe, the people of Kyoto do not believe, in fact, even the palace ladies, the emperor’s majesty on the dragon chair do not believe, so that day after the court meeting, there will be the palace guards led by the imperial physician, in the always rarely go out of the palace under the leadership of eunuch hong, vastly killed to the fan house, pass the consolation of the decree, and at the same time to see their father and son in the end got what disease!

There are a lot of eyes in the mansion are following this column, because everyone thinks that the Fan father and son are pretending to be sick, so subconsciously thinking, this master and son in order not to go to the court to make a fool of themselves, actually offended His Majesty the Emperor, a small is also a crime of deceiving the king …… is really stupid to the extreme, arrogance to the extreme.

The second prince also can not understand this matter, he is a prince, since childhood in the palace grew up, of course, know the means of Eunuch Hong, any pretending to be sick trick, in front of that sickly old eunuch, can not be hidden.

Fan Xian was really sick.

This news, confirmed by Eunuch Hong and proven by His Majesty the Emperor’s lack of subsequent punitive measures, spread to every corner of Kyoto, and no one suspected any longer that Fan Xian was pretending to be ill. While Lord Fan Shangshu was only suffering from an occasional wind chill, young Lord Fan, on the other hand, was truly bedridden and very weak.

At the very juncture of the Supervisory Court’s struggle with the Second Prince, Fan Xian had coincidentally fallen ill.

This fact caused many people to feel a very strange emotion, could it be that the situation in Kyoto would change somewhat as a result? After all, there had been a similar situation in history, when the Northern Wei Emperor liquidated the War Family, which had made great achievements in the war, the reason why he was able to succeed very thrillingly was because at that time, a generation of famous generals, Marshal War Qingfeng, coincidentally had three days of diarrhea.

History was absurd, but extremely true.

“Don’t worry about anything.” Fan Xian frowned and looked at Mu Tie, who had a slightly uneasy look in front of his bed, “Just listen to Prince Xiaoyan’s arrangements for everything.”

After returning from the Kyoto mansion, he had fallen ill, and although it wasn’t very serious, his true qi, which had begun to be somewhat uncontrollable after the battle with Xie Bian, was strung out all over his body, forcing him to spend more time meditating and quieting his mind. His pale face and odd pulse managed to conceal himself from the inscrutable Eunuch
