Chapter 98 – If you come to me

“Last summer, it seems like nothing was done.”

Si Li Li cupped his head, a bit of a headache. Ever since Fan Xian mentioned these words in his letter to Duo Duo, the young Emperor of Northern Qi and these two women beside him had been caught up in endless contemplation, and no matter how they did the math, they had not been able to figure out exactly what their own people had done to Fan Xian last summer.

That letter had only one sentence, written in bare bones, like a warning, more like a threat. The Beiqi side was a little confused as to what it was that had made Fan Xian angry like this.

Of course they hadn’t thought that the reason for all of this was simply because Fan Xian had miscalculated the year, and that he had meant to warn the northern nymphets about the broken temple, which he already knew about.

The young Emperor of Northern Qi’s brow furrowed as he said coldly, “Last year, I sent him a good sword through Wang Qinian’s hands, even if he sees through this matter, it’s fine if he doesn’t appreciate me, why did he still come to the letter to terrorize the young mistress?”

“Great Wei Heavenly Son Sword?” Si Li Li covered her lips and laughed sweetly, Li Guang Shimmering, “Or is it the Great Wei Tien Zi Sword?”

The characters sounded the same, and it took some time for the young Emperor of Northern Qi to understand this naughty joke, but he didn’t laugh, instead his face was a bit gloomy.

Si Li Li’s heart moved slightly, knowing that His Majesty didn’t like him to be too unrestrained, so he quietly stopped his mouth and sat down on his knees.

The young Emperor of Northern Qi slowly sat up, his hands pursed backward along the corners of his forehead, tied up his long black hair, his two penciled English eyebrows straightened, and calmly said, “Let’s not talk about this for now, Fan Sichert is having a big banquet for guests tonight, I will let Wei Hua attend on my behalf, what do you think?”

“Your Majesty is wise.” Si Li Li said seriously after thinking for a long time, “By tying up the Fan family’s second in the Upper Capital, Fan Xian will definitely be more honest in the south, even if he has some other ideas, he will always have to think about his younger siblings.”

“Speaking of sisters, that Ruo Ruo Senior Aunt should also arrive today.” The young Emperor of Northern Qi smiled and waved his hand, indescribably dashing and comfortable, “As for your statement, it’s a falsehood. It’s not that we can threaten Fan Xian by tying up the Fan family’s children in the Upper Capital, but rather that Fan Xian sent his own younger siblings to this state and asked us to act as babysitters.”

He snorted coldly and continued, “What kind of character is Fan Xian, since he dares to send them, of course he’s not afraid of us bringing these two as hostages. This guy, that hour in the palace to show how gentle and open-minded, do not deal with him do not know his sinister ……”

Si Li Li pursed her lips and laughed: “But His Majesty still should be down, I said the tie is not the meaning of taking hostages …… Fan Ruo Ruo and Fan Si Zhe two people in North Qi over the good, Fan Xian mood is also good, in the future …… maybe someday it will cast over?”

“How can it be so simple?” Beiqi Emperor scoffed to himself, “He is flourishing in Southern Qing, now Li Yunrui has lost power, no one dares to touch him in the slightest, how is it possible for him to give up the supreme power in his hands to cast over to me …… As for these arrangements of his, it only shows that this person is as sensitive and suspicious as his old man who is the Emperor, and is cunning enough to make three caves, he just treats my kingdom as if it was his own. is just using my kingdom as a back road for his family.”

He sighed, “Parochial in Jiangnan, in the inner treasury of the Southern Dynasty, I need him in too many places, knowing that he is using me, but also can only respond.”

Within a year or so, the Emperor of Northern Qi and Fan Xian each elected spokespersons and began to smuggle a steady stream of goods to the north through the route of the Cui family back in the day, via Xia Mingji and Fan Sicheng, both sides raking in a large amount of benefits. Although in order to prevent the Qing emperor suspicion, things do extremely secret, even if found out, will not involve these high-level figures, but …… the two sides have been tied together, so Fan Xian will feel at ease to let the younger siblings to stay in North Qi.

Earlier that sentence is good, the little emperor of Beiqi now, is Fan Xian to find a good nanny.

What’s more, Fan Xian had now guessed about the incident in the broken temple, and was even more nonchalant about using the little emperor of Beiqi.

“Why does Fan Xian want to stay back?” Si Li Li asked suspiciously, “Could it be that he has always thought that Qing is not a place for him to live for a long time?”

“That’s the point I’m most interested in.” The young Emperor of Northern Qi smiled, “What kind of person is he, Fan Xian? In the process of climbing up the ladder in the Southern Dynasty, he started looking for a way out, does he think that one day, he will turn his back on his family’s emperor? It is really …… somewhat indefinable and unknown.”

He paused and continued, “Remember the time he sent you back to the capital?”

Si Li Li was stunned, and then thought of that gentle time together all the way north, the infinite spring light inside the carriage, her face was slightly hot, lowered her head, and did not reply.

Beiqi little emperor laughed out loud, just that laughter with a slight sourness, he used his fingers to lift Si Li Li’s jaw, said tenderly, “Li Li, I …… don’t like you to be by my side, and still think of other men in your heart.”

Si Li Li lowered her head and didn’t say a word, her red lips contained a smile.

Beiqi little emperor coldly grunted, found that this niece is more and more not afraid of himself, put his hand back, said, “Didn’t you once say that on the road back to the north, Fan Xian had once given you the antidote to the poison …… Since this is the case, he has also saved two lives of you and me. So I don’t understand, he cooperated with me for his own self interest, that’s the aftermath, before this matter, he seems to not want me to die …… plus the matter of the back road mentioned earlier.”

His eyebrows wrinkled extremely tight, puzzled.

“Fan Xian …… did he or did he not consider himself a …… Qing Guo man?”

Si Li Li slowly raised her head, smiling as she looked at the worried-looking His Majesty, and without saying that Fan Xian was still in the Upper Capital, she had already guessed that His Majesty couldn’t possibly be hurt by the poison in her body. Although she was now already an imperial consort, favored by the young emperor of Beiqi, coupled with some unspoken relations between several people, deep in the heavy palace …… didn’t care at all about the threat from the Southern Qing Supervisory Academy, and didn’t have to accept Fan Xian’s remote manipulation, for some unknown reason, once she thought of that young man in the south’s abominably gentle smile, Si Li Li’s heart then softened and hid a lot for him.

Perhaps it was in order to see what this always far-sighted His Majesty in front of him would look like when he became furious in the future?

“Southern Qing is a great enemy of our dynasty.” The young Emperor of Northern Qi frowned and said, “I have a clear understanding of the beast-like minds of the people of Qing. Even if Fan Xian has unending grudges against the Qing royal family because of the Ye family matter back then,…… but he is after all a Qing person, why would he give me …… no, this dynasty so many favors, is he not afraid that once my Daqi vibrates and shades, he will make their Southern Qing look bad? ”

Si Li Li listened to these words and also stopped her playful thinking and fell into silence. She was originally a descendant of the South Qing imperial family, and the current South Qing imperial court had an undying grudge, which is why she turned to North Qi, but Fan Xian was after all the illegitimate son of the South Qing Emperor, and although the South Qing Emperor had many surveillance restrictions on him, in just three years’ time, he had allowed him to become one of the premier powerful ministers of the South Dynasty …… What was there for Fan Xian to be dissatisfied with? Why would he secretly make so many deals with Northern Qi?

Naturally, it couldn’t be because of himself …… Si Li Li thought to himself mockingly, nor could it be because of Duo Duo, and even less because of His Majesty the Emperor. Fan Xian, this person, although he was a womanizer, would definitely not change his mind because of female color.

After she was silent for a long time, she suddenly had a flash of light in her mind and said, “Unless …… he has never truly considered himself as a person of the Kingdom of Qing.”

After saying this, she shook her head, not even believing this herself. After a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Beiqi, a faint disappointment surfaced in a whirlwind.

If Fan Xian really does not consider himself to be a person from the Qing Dynasty, then maybe one day in the future he will really come to vote for Beiqi …… Fan Xian, if he comes to vote, naturally has to bring with him countless favors, such as the secrets of the inner treasury, such as the internal affair of the Supervisory Yuan, and his identity!

A Qing dynasty prince, a Zhuang Mo Han designated successor, anti-Qing cast Qi …… What kind of shock will this cause in the world? What kind of shock will this cause in the world? How much benefit and danger will this bring to Northern Qi?

If Fan Xian really came to cast his lot, the always extremely ambitious Emperor of Northern Qi would definitely accept him despite any danger……. Only he knew clearly that this kind of speculation was impossible. As anyone knows, Fan Xian is a native of Qing, and the Emperor of Qing wouldn’t be so stupid as to force his most accomplished son to live beyond his means and take that final step.

It was actually just that the people of this world couldn’t understand the thinking of Fan Xian, a modern man.

Fan Xian had accepted his role as a one-man man in this era ever since he had spoken those words in the cave, but he didn’t have much of a concept of family and country, and because of his upbringing since childhood and his friends and friends around him, he certainly had a deeper affection for the Qing state, but to him, the strife in the world was really just a kind of internal entanglement, like the eldest house beating up the second house.

Like the Spring and Autumn Period, like the Warring States, there is no moral shame in jumping around, and the concept of treason never existed in his mind.

This is the unique psychology of the foreign population.

Along the quiet stone path of the palace in Shangjing to the top, the eunuchs and palace maidens to open the way carefully support at the side, for fear that the young man in the dragon robe accidentally fell, and the eunuchs behind holding the whisk water purification bottles are on tiptoe, lowered their heads, and do not dare to make a sound at all.

Beiqi little emperor’s face is not very good, since he was young, he hated these lackeys around his own side, let himself eternally hard to relax, just the rules of the palace has always been so, he how angry, can not change this, unless these lackeys all killed …… but all killed and what can be done?

Walked to the side of the third floor of the palace, a green tree slowly hanging down its branches, gently on the black eaves, contrasting and beautiful. The young emperor looked at this scene in a daze, thinking to himself that every day he walks and roams around the palace, why did he seldom notice these sights?

Could it be because he had seen too much every day, so he habitually forgot?

He suddenly remembered the words that Haitang once relayed to him, that man from Nanqing was walking in this palace like Haitang’s senior aunt …… That man seemed to be walking very fast and lively, his eyes were turning very fast and greedily, seemingly wanting to take in all the beauty of this palace …… Could it be that that man was born to love these extremely beautiful things, so he could write those extremely beautiful and clean words?

The young Emperor of Northern Qi lowered his head and fell into deep thought with his negative hand.

A few moments later he raised his head, a layer of confident smile on his face, but his feet were turned in the direction of the right hand side of a mountain road, the end of that mountain road, you can vaguely hear the sound of flowing waterfalls.

The eunuchs and palace maidens around him bluffed, thinking that his majesty is not going to go to the top of the mountain to plant laurel? Why did he turn that way again? Just no one dared to speak out to stop, so they could only follow in silence.

The mountain road several turns, came to a green platform on the cliffside, there is a pavilion on the platform.

Beiqi emperor pointed to the pavilion, beside the eunuchs and palace maidens immediately rushed over, placed embroidered piers, lit incense, clean dust.

The emperor walked into the pavilion, looked at the pavilion under the stream, to the cliff spring flowers, heart slightly moved, softly read: “shoot the railing, forest flowers blowing sideburns mountain wind cold, Hao Ge shocked the floating clouds scattered.”

The people beside me even patted the horse’s ass: “Your Majesty ……”

The Emperor of Beiqi smiled to himself, thinking that back then, Fan Xian was in this pavilion and said only three words to himself, “Good rhetoric.”

“Patting me on the back and patting me on the back so carelessly …… Fan Xian, you’re still the only one.” The Emperor of Beiqi laughed, standing at the edge of the bar, looking at the great scenery of his world.

“All withdraw, all withdraw.” He suddenly commanded.

The eunuchs and palace maids inside the pavilion looked at each other, thinking that the mountains and rocks were cold, so if they let His Majesty get cold, how would they account for it at the Empress Dowager? But they know clearly, today’s Northern Qi is already His Majesty’s mountain, this His Majesty is young, but his heart is extraordinarily resolute, after Shen Chong’s death, His Majesty strongly advocated releasing Uesugi Tiger in the south to fight against Nanqing, and presided over several major changes in the dynasty, even the ministers dare not look at him with the eyes of a child anymore.

The pavilion immediately returned to its usual quietness.

The Emperor of Beiqi stood at the edge of the railing and took a deep breath, thinking of Fan Xian’s suggestion at the beginning, thinking that this kid was right. A moment later, he thought of another matter, his brows slowly furrowing as he softly muttered to himself, “Fan Xian, what exactly do you think?”

“To worry about the world first, and to be happy afterward?”

“Is this world …… the world of Nanqing, or is it …… the entire world?”

Beiqi emperor’s eyebrows gradually stretch, vaguely perceive the truth of the matter, the corner of the lips rare upward, now a trace of some strange smile, said softly: “If you come to vote for me, I will seal you a Prince how? It’s always better than this little duke you have now.”
