Chapter 9 one place

The night of Kyoto, than the night of the Northern Qi Shangjing to appear a little quiet, the Qing people seem to have not gotten used to the so-called flourishing years, so most of the time, or used to stay at home at night, of course, those flow crystal river on the boat, the west of the city of the green house is not in this category.

Fan Xian negative hand, in the night slowly walking forward, Deng Zi Yue holding a box behind him a few steps, suddenly Fan Xian stopped his footsteps, in front of the back of the darkness of those who waved, hidden in the darkness is responsible for the protection of his safety of the Supervisory Yuan officials, some do not know why appeared.

“Everyone in Kyoto knows that you guys are by my side, so why bother deliberately staying in the darkness.” Fan Xian said with a smile.

Deng Ziyue smiled bitterly and explained, “The court officials don’t like to watch the secret agents of the Procuratorate on the streets, and the people are more than a little intimidated …… I’m just afraid that it will not have a good effect on your honor.”

Fan Xian understood what he meant and said with a smile, “You guys are always walking on the roofs of people’s houses, aren’t you afraid of affecting other people’s sleep?”

The subordinates looked at each other in dismay, but they followed Lord Tiji’s wishes and came out onto the street. These people were not very ambitious officials in the Supervisory Yuan, Wang Qinian was ordered to set up the Qinian group, but also very much with some thought, looking for some of the people who are suitable. Now qinian group of people follow Fan Tisi, in the hospital can be said to be happy, whether it is to go to which side of the eight offices to explain the business, the other side is always respectful, and every month in addition to salary, there is a large amount of allowance, this change makes them deeply feel that they follow the Fan Tisi, is really a very fortunate thing.

It was near the middle of the night and the temperature was getting low, Deng Ziyue rushed forward a few steps and put a thin black trench coat on Fan Xian’s body, then immediately retreated to his position. A group of seven or eight people walked forward, all of them wearing the kind of black singlet specially made by the Supervision Academy, with the hemline above the knees. The material of the clothing wasn’t very reflective, and it looked like it had a somber look and feel to it.

Under the moonlight, the group was maintaining a very tasteful distance, silently and in sync, arching Fan Xian squarely in the center as they traveled forward, silver light like snow, black clothes like ink.

On the second day, Fan Xian went to that building beside the Tianhe Avenue, the Supervisory Academy.

As he made his way inside, there were calm-faced officials of the Supervisory Academy who bowed low to him.

“Good morning, Lord Tiji.”

“Good morning, Tishee Fan.”

He answered each one of them with a smile, and without stopping his feet, he walked towards that room at the back of the courtyard. Pushing the door in, he then realized that the seven heads of the Eight Divisions had already arrived.

Fan Xian owed a slight bow, arching his hand and saluting the crowd. Those seven chiefs didn’t dare to be arrogant and hurriedly stood up to return the salute, especially Yan Ruohai who was all around looking at Fan Xian was even more joyful and slightly grateful, thinking that he was in a good mood at home in the past two days as he was in harmony with Yan Bingyun’s father and son, only Chen Pingping was sitting in the wheelchair at the end of the long table looking at him with a smirk and a grin.

He coughed and sat in the seat of the one to the right of Chen Pingping, somewhat surprised not to find the teacher’s figure. Seemingly guessing what he was thinking, Chen Pingping gently caressed her knees with both hands and whispered in a slightly shrill voice, “He’s gone to Jiangnan for a quickie, and I can’t control him.”

Fan Xian laughed, lowered his voice, looked ahead with his eyes, and said, “When will you go out to have fun too?”

Chen Pingping glanced at him and said, “That depends on when you are capable of taking over.”

The Supervisory Academy rarely had this kind of meeting, and it just so happened that Fan Xian had stumbled upon it both times he came. Of course, both meetings had something to do with him as well. After listening to Fan Xian’s report on his trip to Northern Qi, all the officials put their hearts at ease; as long as the network of secret spies in the north was not fatally destroyed, nothing else really mattered.

As for Fan Xian’s nomination of Wang Qinian to temporarily handle the affairs in the north, the people did not have much objection, on the one hand, Fan Xian as the Secretary has the power, on the other hand, Wang Qinian’s seniority in the courtyard is long enough, if not for his own lack of ambition, I’m afraid that now is also a party leader, since he coincidentally followed Fan Tisi, Fan Tisi to let his own people to promote upward one level, is not anything out of the ordinary move. Third, the north of the stall is really a dangerous business, look around the words of the big family son of the encounter will know.

But the next announcement of the institution personnel arrangements, some out of the crowd’s expectations – the institution officials have always thought, in a Zhu Ge killed himself, that has been empty position, the reason why the dean of the Lord has never shouted to take over, in order to wait for a small speech Prince returned to take over, did not think that the dean of the Lord’s announcement of the appointment of the speech ice cloud! I didn’t realize that in the appointments announced by His Excellency, Yan Bingyun was appointed as the head of the four divisions – if he’s in the four divisions, who will manage the four divisions? Where is Lord Yan Ruohai?

Chen Pingping lifted her eyes breathlessly, “Ruohai stayed in the courtyard for a long time and got a bit tired, so he asked for his resignation from the four positions, and tomorrow he will send a letter to the Ministry of Appointments to seek an idle position in the capital to retire.” Look at the appearance, Chen Pingping is not very happy in the Yan Ruohai’s self-request to go, but Yan Ruohai this year every day worried about his son’s death, is really a little tired of life in the courtyard, coupled with his own is also clear, the courtyard of the eight departments, it is impossible to let their own Yan family at the same time appear two heads, in order to give the position of Yan Bingyun, he can only be the first to resign.

Supervisory Yuan eight heads, seemingly not high grade, but in fact it is the hands of the power of the position, even if it is the ministries of the ministers, but also dare not easily offend.

Fan Xian glanced at Yan Ruohai and realized that the corners of his eyes were indeed somewhat weary, with a hint of relief and joy.

Since the dean and Lord Yan have already arranged the backhand of the four places, the people will no longer talk much, at this time, the head of the second place asked, “A place has been empty for so long, there must be someone to take care of it, Mu Tie ……” he shook his head: “Loyalty naturally no two, just this adult will only kiss ass, the ability is still a little weak, a place is one of the most critical departments in the courtyard, the total control of the monitoring of the officials in the capital, there is always a need to have a competent person line.”

Several other heads also nodded their heads in agreement, one place is the most glamorous position in the eight departments, these eight bosses, since they are not as radical as Yan Ruohai, naturally anyone would like to go further.

Chen Pingping slowly turned her head, looked at Fan Xian whose face was still skeptical, and opened her mouth to say, “From now on, one place will not have a head, and will be managed by Fan Tisi.”

This is said lightly, but fell in the hearts of the people is extremely heavy, the people immediately will be in the heart of the bit of competition for power and profit of the heart of the whole dispersed, and who contend, but also do not dare to contend with the Fan Tisi, he would have been their own these people’s superiors, obviously in the future is to take over the class of the Chen Dean of the big man, at this time also in charge of a place, who dares to say more?

But the hearts of all people are also from the austere, the authority of the Division has few limitations, and now Lord Fan is also in charge of a place, that a place of affairs no longer need to be arranged by the courtyard, but other departments have to cooperate with a place, in this way, a place of the status of the status of the I’m afraid that the level will be raised by half – in other words, Fan Tisi is the monarch of a place, what he said, a place to do! In other words, Mr. Fan was the ruler of one place, and whatever he said, one place would do!

Fan Xian was also a bit surprised, why Chen Pingping would let himself manage a place, turned his face to look at him and said, “Dean, I do this mention, has been very reluctant, never handled specific affairs, rashly manage a place, I’m afraid that for the affairs of the institution …… not much good.”

Chen Pingping set the tone with one sentence, “There is no experience in specific affairs, so giving you one place is to let you grow some experience.”

After the meeting was over, the subordinates in the courtyard congratulated Fan Xian, but the Supervisory Yuan always had a better atmosphere than the other ministries and departments in the court, so Fan Xian didn’t hear too much unpleasant farting. While the officials were leaving, Yan Ruohai stayed behind and thanked Fan Xian.

Fan Xian had some unknown hidden shame in his heart, and hurriedly said with a smile, “I’ve known Bingyun as long as I’ve seen her, and besides, it’s all about the affairs of the courtyard, and I really didn’t contribute much, so don’t say that, Mr. Yan, I’m ashamed to be a latecomer.”

Seeing that he doesn’t take credit, Yan Ruohai appreciates this young nobleman even more, smiles slightly, pats him on the shoulder and says, “In a few days, I’ll put up a post to invite Lord Fan to come and sit at the residence.”

“Definitely, definitely.” Fan Xian would not refuse, and in his heart, he wondered what that Miss Shen looked like in the House of Words now.

Only Chen Pingping and Fan Xian remained in the room.

“Nonsense stage.” Chen Pingping looked at him with a frown, “I know that Bingyun, this child, is calm and steady, and would never bring that woman back to Kyoto, I think this was all your idea.”

The world was afraid of Chen Pingping, but Fan Xian always played the role of a junior in front of him, and after screaming a bunch of wrongdoings, he said, “Mr. Dean, this has nothing to do with my humble servant, as soon as that Miss Shen joined the delegation, she always stayed in the Grand Princess’s car, so I couldn’t forcefully drag her down and kill her.”

Chen Pingping narrowed her eyes and said, “On the way back to the capital, I have always let the black riders follow the legation, if you had not signaled, how could that woman have single-handedly broken into the legation?”

Fan Xian choked, not knowing how to explain, and sighed after a long while, “It’s always not a bad fate.”

Chen Pingping loved this young man immensely from the bottom of her heart and couldn’t be bothered to chide him more, so she chided him instead, “Why did you let the Qinian group show their tracks?”

Fan Xian knew that he couldn’t hide this from the other party, and had already thought of a response, smilingly said, “Because I want to make the courtyard more open and honorable, it’s not necessary to keep shrinking in the darkness and causing so many people to be afraid of us.”

“Bright and grand?” Chen Pingping frowned, “It’s good that you have this mindset.”

Fan Xian pulled the blanket on his lap upward for him and said softly, “Take your time, there’s no rush.”
