Chapter 113: May the king and his subjects meet in peace?

Hearing these words, Yi Gui Concubine shook her head somewhat helplessly, raising her green onion-like fingertips and gently rubbing her somewhat stuffy brows, not knowing what to say. Of course she is clear about what Li Chengping’s words are referring to, just as His Majesty’s consort, she is such a naive and innocent woman, able to sit safely and securely in her current position, relying on Liu’s year before she entered the palace, advised the word quiet, when this chaotic situation, can’t say anything.

Now the palace, since three years ago has completely changed the pattern, the empress dowager died, the empress died, the eldest princess also died, Shu Guifei was secluded in the cold palace. Yi Gui Concubine, who gave birth to Li Chengping, and Ning Cai Ren, who gave birth to the eldest son, in the rebellion in Kyoto, with Fan Xian and the eldest son bravely or forcibly stood up for his majesty’s position, and the rebellion was defeated, the two nobles naturally rose in the ranks, and Ning Cai Ren was promoted to the next level, and Yi Gui Concubine, although she is still a noble concubine, but with the passage of time, she will also be promoted to the noble consort gradually.

The palace by Yi Gui concubine and Ning Cai Ren in charge, Yi Gui concubine good temperament, Ning Cai Ren is a no matter what, the palace is naturally and wind and rain, well over three years of good times, just with the eight days ago in the imperial study of the sound of that loud, good times finally came to an end.

Ning Cai Ren because of the courage to intercede for Chen old dean, and His Majesty relegated to the cold palace, and Shu Gui Fei to go to the companion – also thanks to her gave birth to a good son, or else His Majesty’s anger, I am afraid that directly give the death of all the best results.

Yi Gui Concubine is now the only noble master in the palace, three days ago the draft activities, naturally under her control, she also understand more than the rest of the people behind the real purpose of this sudden draft.

After the rebellion in Kyoto, his majesty still had two and a half sons, in addition to the great palace in the distant city of Dongyi, the third prince Li Chengping, and the other half naturally refers to Fan Xian. Unfortunately, because of Chen Pingping’s rebellion, Fan Xian and the emperor had fallen into a cold war, and no one knew exactly how this matter would end in the future.

The two half-sons have learned the lessons of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and are extremely close to each other, not to mention the friendship between the Great Hall and Fan Xian, or the friendship between Fan Xian and the Third Prince, which is also solid and unexpected to His Majesty.

Since the seventh year of the Qing calendar, Fan Xian has been in the palace many times, but his contact with the Third Prince has become less, firstly, because he wants to avoid suspicion when the Third Prince is clearly becoming the Crown Prince, and secondly, because His Majesty the Emperor is deliberately trying to weaken Fan Xian’s influence on the Third Prince.

Even though Fan Xian was useless, he had one strong point that the world admired, and that was his ability to influence those around him and make them focus on him, as evidenced by some of the close officials of the Supervisory Yuan, the four sons of the Fan family, and the full-fledged troops in the Moon Tower.

The third prince was his student, and although he had seen very little of Fan Xian since his return from Jiangnan, he had not forgotten Fan Xian’s stick education for a while, and had long since turned from the slightly shady and ruthless child he had been back then into an introverted prince.

There is no tilting and jealousy between the three imperial sons, if put in the usual, this is an extremely wonderful thing, after the Kyoto rebellion three years ago, the Qing Emperor, while introspecting, must not be interested in driving his sons crazy again, but Chen Pingping plotting against the incident, so that this seems to be a very wonderful relationship, in the eyes of His Majesty, the Emperor, no longer so wonderful.

Yi Gui Concubine knew this very well, if His Majesty no longer trusted Fan Xian completely, then he had to be wary of whether his sons would embrace the group to do something, even if these three sons did not embrace the group, but if His Majesty really laid his hands on Fan Xian, and chilled all the people’s hearts, when Cheng Ping became bigger day by day, what would be the situation in the palace?

That’s why His Majesty wants a draft, wants more fertility machines in the palace to produce a few more sons for him.

Yi Gui Concubine glanced at her own son, her brows full of sorrow as she sighed softly. Li Chengping, however, did not sigh, just gently holding his mother’s hand, the palace is full of obscenities, he grew up like this since he was a child, watching his two older brothers trying to kill themselves for that chair, trying to kill their father, and in the end he was saved by his other two older brothers, he had long ago realized that if the palace was a little bit more peaceful, his life would be a lot smoother.

However, the world has never been so good, he knows that his relationship with the Fan family is too deep, if Father Emperor no longer trusts Fan Xian, he is only afraid that he will not feel at ease to simply hand over this world to himself just like this. The father wants to have a few more sons,louboutin pas cher, but he doesn’t know how to do it. Father Emperor is wanting to have a few more sons …… Is this being wary of himself? Or is he wary of Fan Xian?

“Tomorrow, sir is going to enter the palace to ask for peace, so perhaps things aren’t so bad.” Li Chengping smiled somewhat reluctantly, comforting his mother.

“That boy, Fan Xian, is stubborn as hell, who knows if he will enter the palace tomorrow.” Yi Gui Concubine smiled somewhat helplessly, she was clear that even if His Majesty wanted to give birth to a few more sons to warn Shufang Palace and Fan Xian, but that would ultimately be a matter for a long time to come, and that today’s Qing Dynasty court had long since become accustomed to the fact that Li Chengping was the future Emperor of Qing, and was even more secure in his position than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, and that His Majesty would not be able to interrupt the future that he had been planning for a long time, just because of his mistrust of the Fan House.

It was only that she really wasn’t sure what the real problem between His Majesty and Fan Xian was, whether it was the death of Elder Dean Chen or something else? If Fan Xian was willing to admit his guilt and bow down tomorrow, as long as he could continue to live in Kyoto, his future position of power would naturally be slowly restored, so where would Shufang Palace need to worry about these showgirls who had been sent to the palace by ministers and princes.

Yi Gui concubine’s eyebrows slightly knit, eyes suddenly flashed a rare ice-cold meaning, said: “These little ninny if peaceful on good, if really relying on the mother’s family in the court that bit of strength, want to engage in the palace in three twist four, the palace will not allow them.”

After all, it is when three years of nominal palace in the Lord of the women, presided over the selection of the matter, and then how naive and rosy temperament, but also has long been in the palace to wear out most of the cold sentence, naturally reveal a few threads of dignity.

“I heard that yesterday those showgirls just entered the palace, they were driven out by the mother of three people.” Li Chengping sincerely advised, “After all, it is father’s intention, if you do something too obvious, I’m afraid that father will not be happy.”

“Your father is also happy even if he knows, those little girls who don’t have some eyesight ……” Yi Gui concubine said with a sneer, “The country’s dynasty has not chosen a draft for a long time, from the Taishang Temple to the Ministry of Ceremony are not the rules at all, what kind of What kind of people’s daughters are sent to the palace. I don’t know what they heard in their mother’s family, once they enter the palace, they will sprinkle silver, but those palace maids probably haven’t eaten this kind of silver for a long time, and they even accepted it.”

She looked at the three emperors calmly said: “that a few showgirls into the palace will be inquiring about the situation in the palace, the masters of the palace they are not good to talk about what, but talking about the imperial study that, but what words dare to say …… in the end is not what serious ministers of the House of the family, are some of the old princes and princes of the fast fall, about not clear Fan family Liu House is not the most important thing, but also the most important thing is that it is a very important thing. About not clear Fan family Liu House is what kind of head, actually naïvely thought Fan House really lost power, that somehow got His Majesty’s pleasure, will be the front of those words, are aimed at that …… said I do not know how hard to hear.”

“I drove those three showgirls out of the palace, both to give the rest a heads up and to save their families’ lives.” Yi Gui Concubine gently pursed the hair on her temples and said quietly, “Not to mention what His Majesty would be angry about if he really heard this kind of talk, as long as these words reach Fan Xian’s ears, what do you think these showgirls’ homes will be miserable about when things settle down.”

Li Chengping finally couldn’t help but laugh and said, “If the recent events really settle down, I’m afraid that mother would hate to add to the story and tell it to sir.”

Yi Gui Concubine spat with a smile on her face, “This child is talking blindly, where is mother such a person.”

Li Chengping scratched his head and said, “But father always leaves the Fan family’s young lady in the imperial study, it’s always against the rules.”

Yi Gui Concubine smiled after a long silence and said nothing, in fact, she knew in her heart that the man who made himself into a woman, the most powerful man under the sky, in fact, he would also feel lonely, in his eyes, the women in the palace seemed to have something to ask for, perhaps only that Miss Fan, who had nothing to do with the palace, would make him truly feel that he had nothing to ask for.

What his majesty likes is that he likes the person beside him to have nothing to ask for, thinking about this, Yi Gui Concubine’s face was a bit sullen, looking at Li Chengping, she said mildly: “You also go to the Cold Palace less often, carefully his majesty is not happy.”

“Shuji Concubine was sent to the Cold Palace, but she is ultimately the second brother’s real mother, in past years, treating us a few brothers is not bad, and the second brother did not have anything to do with it.” Li Chengping explained in a low voice, “Now that Aunt Ning has also been sent to the Cold Palace, I always have to go and take a look.”

Yi Gui Concubine smiled and did not say anything else, she knew that the reason why the Third Prince often visited the Cold Palace, gained a reputation for leniency in the palace, and also made His Majesty appreciate …… somewhat unexpectedly was all because of Fan Xian’s instructions, three years ago during the Kyoto Rebellion, it was rumored that Fan Xian had once personally promised the dying Second Prince to take care of Shuji Concubine for him.

The mother and son in the Shufang Palace spoke softly about the draft and about the girl in the imperial study, meanwhile, the girl in the imperial study had already assisted His Majesty the Emperor, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, to walk around, and would be about to return to the imperial study.

As Yi Gui Concubine said, His Majesty just appreciate this woman, but will not absurdly produce what other ideas, has entered the realm of the great master, has long seen through the male and female matters, the reason why the selection of the show, more or out of political considerations. And during the walk, of course, His Majesty the Emperor would not talk to Fan Ruo Ruo about the matter of the draft, but only casually discussed the storm in Kyoto in the past eight days, as well as Fan Xian’s affairs.

Of course, the vast majority of the time, it was His Majesty the Emperor talking, Fan Ruo Ruo listening, the Emperor was breastfed by the Fan family’s grandmother, for the Fan family naturally had a natural closeness, the Emperor had no daughters in this life, and since Lin Wan’er moved out of the palace, it seemed that he could no longer find this kind of comparative warm feeling.

Two people in front of the line, Eunuch Yao and a group of people in the back of the far nervous decorated, walking in the dark night, this team looks a little ridiculous.

Just about to turn to the stone door in front of the imperial study, his majesty the emperor stopped in his tracks, looked at the eunuch bowing next to the stone door, after a long silence, he asked: “How is it to follow Eunuch Dai lately?”

This eunuch is the red man in the imperial study of that year, Hong Zhu, after the matter of three years ago faded out, he has been following Eunuch Dai these days to carry out the errand of the paper scrolls, and today, when he meets the Holy Driver by chance at night, he waits by the side with a complicated mood, but he didn’t expect that His Majesty would suddenly ask himself a question, and he hurriedly answered back with a trembling voice.

The emperor looked at him with satisfaction, he was extremely like this clever little eunuch, or would not have let him personally follow in the imperial study, and later sent him to the east palace as the chief eunuch, just because some very coincidental things, Hongzhu trapped in, but for all that, the emperor still did not kill him.

Suddenly the emperor s heart moved, thinking of earlier when he saw that wheelchair, thinking of that day of winter snow, the scene when Fan Xian entered the palace, the little eunuch who pushed the wheelchair that day was exactly Hong Zhu …… Gradually, the emperor s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, remembering that in the past, that boy Fan Xian seemed to dislike this little eunuch. I don’t know what he was thinking in his mind, opened his mouth and ordered, “From tomorrow, return to the Imperial Study Room.”

Hong Zhu was overjoyed and knelt on the ground, thanking and kowtowing vaguely, only no one noticed a complex look flashing through his lowered eyes.

The emperor waved his hand somewhat tiresomely, so he entered the stone door with the two Fan Ruoruo. The emperor suddenly opened his mouth and said: ”On snowy and rainy days, you don’t need to kneel down when you see me, this is a rule that was set after I assumed the throne. Today it is raining, the ground is still wet, so Hong Zhu does not need to kneel.”

Fan Ruo Ruo looked at His Majesty in a slight daze, not knowing why His Majesty had to say this.

“Am I …… really not a good emperor?” About to walk outside the imperial study, the emperor suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked very calmly, yet very seriously.

There must be an answer if there is a question, at this time, there is only Fan Ruoruo by his side, naturally, he is waiting for Fan Ruoruo to make a judgment. Fan Ruo Ruo’s heart slightly austere, secretly thought that he is not a great scholar, and not the historical pen like rafters of scholars, where is the qualification to judge such a big topic? However, the emperor did not take a step, just calmly waiting for her to open her mouth to respond.

Fan Ruoruo was silent for a long, long time, remembering the scene after scene that she had seen in the imperial study these days, as well as the various details of this palace, thinking of the lives of the people of Qing in the states and counties that she had seen as she traveled around the world.

After all, she could not cover her own eyes and true heart, and after pondering for a moment, she lightly opened her lips and earnestly responded, “Compared to previous emperors, Your Majesty …… is indeed a good emperor.”

The emperor was silent for a moment, savoring Fan Ruoruo’s remark, and after a moment he finally stretched his face and laughed. The laughter echoed in the garden in front of the imperial study, under the eaves, then collided with the palace wall and crashed back.

The Eunuch Yao who followed behind was slightly stunned, not knowing what words Miss Fan said that made His Majesty laugh so happily, unprecedentedly happily, and for a while he had mixed feelings, admiring this Miss Fan who was not really willing to speak to the extreme.

Fan Ruo Ruo also smiled slightly, looking at His Majesty beside her, her heart was flooded with extremely complex emotions, at this point, she finally understood why His Majesty treated herself so differently these days.

Yi Gui concubine may have guessed something, Fan Ruo Ruo also guessed something earlier, Fan Xian’s opinion is naturally not wrong, however, the emperor will Fan Ruo Ruo stay in the palace, stay by his side, stay in the imperial study, let her look at his own serious injuries, but also to manipulate the country, the wise and wise ……

Perhaps it was just that after the conversation with Chen Pingping within the imperial study, His Majesty needed someone to prove, to recognize that he was a good emperor.

No matter how much that old black dog in the wheelchair says, but I am still a good emperor, isn’t it? It was at this moment that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have finally made up his mind, and a confident and calm smile resurfaced on his face as he headed towards the Imperial Study Room.

“Xuan!”

“Xuan!”

“Declare Imperial College Instructor Fan Xian to enter the palace!”

Or brash, or as sharp and sandy as a duck, but the words called out in a loud voice were all the same. Today there was no court meeting, the routine rest, the root of the Imperial City was quiet. The forbidden army generals and soldiers with solemn faces, eyes not slanting, let the young man wearing a long green shirt walk past their side, however, with their calm face does not match, but they are nervous at this time.

Nine days had passed since Chen Pingping’s rebellion and death by lynching on the court in front of the palace. On that day, Little Lord Fan killed his way into the court and defied His Majesty’s authority, which had already signaled Little Lord Fan’s attitude in this matter. In the days that followed, the cold war between His Majesty the Emperor and the powerful ministers of the court of Qing developed to its peak, with countless tragic deaths of the inner court’s eyes sprinkled outside the Fan Mansion, and, according to rumors in the official circles, an assassination attempt against Fan Xian took place somewhere three miles away yesterday.

All in all, when the news of His Majesty the Emperor’s decree to summon Fan Xian to the palace to pay his respects was revealed today, all of them breathed a sigh of relief; although the Qing Kingdom was powerful nowadays, it still did not want to take on the bloodshed that might have been brought about by this pair of monarchs and their fathers turning against each other.

In another way, even though Fan Xian was no longer an official, the people of Qing in the courtroom and the marketplace still believed that if he really went out on a limb, he would really cause some degree of harm to Qing. The cold war between His Majesty and Fan Xian had ended after only nine days, which was really something worth celebrating.

In the opinion of Hu Daoshi and others, there was no problem that could not be solved between this pair of kings and ministers, it was only the intense emotions that forced out the vicious stubbornness within the hearts of this pair of fathers and sons, and no one refused to give in first, and today, His Majesty the Emperor took the first step, which naturally meant that the palace had taken a step back, and it was certain that Fan Xian would have to accept this sentiment.

In the cold air, Fan Xian followed Eunuch Yao forward in silence. Eunuch Yao, who was already the head eunuch of the palace, still played that humble role in front of him, but Fan Xian didn’t have much interest in talking.

Imperial school instructor? Although Fan Xian was now a white man, and the only official position he could call his own was this title, it still stung his ears. In the midst of this urging, Fan Xian arrived at the imperial study, and was somewhat surprised to see Hong Zhu waiting outside the study. Fan Xian did not hide his surprise, slightly nodded, Hong Zhu deeply salute, the exchange of eyes between the two, no one can see.

After entering the study and seeing his sister, Fan Xian’s mood settled slightly, then he bowed deeply to the man on the soft couch, but remained stubbornly silent.

On that day, Fan Xian rode back to Kyoto single-handedly, until he left the court with Chen Pingping’s corpse in his arms, he was stingy in betting a single glance to the man on the imperial city, and when he carefully counted, the emperor and he, too, had not seen each other for several months.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Fan Xian quietly, not surprised by the emotions that Fan Xian was showing at this moment, he did not allow his subjects to have any disobedient emotions in front of him, but it did not mean that he could not accept his most favored son, to show his true nature or stubbornness in front of him.

The silence in the imperial study did not last long, Fan Ruo Ruo gave a slight blessing to His Majesty the Emperor, and smiled at her elder brother, and then withdrew from the imperial study, she stayed in this room today only because His Majesty wanted to put Fan Xian at ease, and now that this purpose had been accomplished, it was only natural for her to leave as well, leaving this pair of monarchs and ministers with a quiet environment to speak in.

“I’ve been thinking about why I’ve been so lenient with you.” The emperor looked at Fan Xian and slowly spoke, “Naturally, it’s not because of those feats you once performed for the Daqing dynasty, it wasn’t until yesterday that I finally figured it out.”

The emperor looked at him and said calmly, “I think, you and I don’t need too much nonsense between us, here are some dossiers that you can take a look at.”

In this story, it had been repeated countless times that Emperor Qing and Fan Xian were two of the best power actors in this world, yet in today’s imperial study, Emperor Qing didn’t play up anything, he just said these words very directly.

The words were very simple, yet Fan Xian understood the meaning hidden within, and he knew that the case in front of him was nothing more than evidence that Chen Pingping had once presided over the murder of himself, such as the Hanging Temple, such as the valley, and everything related to the cut.

According to that dead old man’s arrangement, Fan Xian should have acted out his surprise and sorrow at this time, and then returned to His Majesty’s side, yet for some reason, seeing the confident and calm and elegant look of the Emperor’s old man at this time, he felt endless anger, and that anger made his heart ache and ache, and he didn’t want to continue acting at all.

Fan Xian raised his head and looked straight at this most familiar, yet most unfamiliar man for a long time without making a move.
