Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 3 The protagonist of the play
early morning.

Inside the resplendent and resplendent city walls, the courtiers were full of timid faces. Today is not a good time for the courtiers. Not to mention, all of them look very bad. Some of them can't even eat breakfast. Most of them are wearing armor clips. The soldiers wearing helmets, their eyes are no less than the resoluteness of throwing themselves into the battlefield when the soldiers are approaching the city.

The east and west side gates of Xuanwu Gate were opened at the same time. When the morning rose, the second prince led the audience to the right, and the crown prince led the audience to the left. The two just looked at each other out of thin air. The second prince was full of sorrow, and the prince was in high spirits. , Manchu civil and military followed closely behind.

When His Majesty, the most powerful emperor in the world, walked slowly into the court, all the courtiers saluted.

His Majesty sat upright, and Eunuch Hou shouted in a hoarse voice, "Stay flat."

"It is the Holy Majesty's will to see each other in turn."

As soon as the words fell, some soldiers walked into the hall and knelt down on the ground.

"Xia Qing, Minister of War, I have something to play."

"I have a statement. It is related to the case of the Northern Qi mission's return to Beijing being intercepted. The whole story of the investigation."

"Read." This was the first word that Emperor Qing uttered since he sat down, and it could be heard just by this one word, Long Yan was already angry.

Xia Qing of the Ministry of War knelt on the ground and took out the memorial.

"Today, the Northern Supervisory Army reported that there were a total of 130 eight members of the mission, all of whom returned to Beijing safely. A total of 36 members of the mission were intercepted, and all of them were killed. Judging from their clothes, they were not from the Qing Dynasty. I don't know if they were Northern Qi in disguise."

"Chen Qizuo!" A general in armor came out from the other side.

"I got a quick report that Jinyiwei rebelled in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The rebels led by Jinyiwei Commander Zhong Zhong fought out of the capital, but their whereabouts were unknown. Only Shen Chong was killed in the streets of the upper capital. The rest of the people were missing. To."

"Chen Qizuo!"

After a while, all the spearheads were directed at Bei Qi.

It's not because of shirking responsibility, but because this is what His Majesty thinks, this matter cannot be done by Qing people anyway.

So even if they saw Xie Bi'an's body, it was impossible for them to take it to the court and say that no one would be able to walk out of the gate of Taihe Hall.

After the reported matter came to an end, Emperor Qing looked down at the crowd.

"Let's go to Northern Qi to find out the reason. If it's true, Xia Qing of the Ministry of War, I order you to arrest the rebels someday."

"The minister leads the order!"

The crown prince and the second prince stood calmly in front of the hall without saying a word.

Emperor Qing stood up, "Biography."

After leaving only one sentence, he left from the back of the hall.

But Eunuch Hou said, "Tell, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Second Prince, and Chen Pingping, the head of the Overwatch Council, have entered the imperial study."

Chen Pingping was not in the imperial study room, he was already in the imperial study room, and was cooking tea and waiting for His Majesty. When His Majesty returned to the imperial study room, he passed the hot tea and pushed the black iron wheelchair to the side. Sit still and wait.

After a while, the two arrived.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room seemed to freeze, and after the luggage of the two of them, there was no sound.

No one spoke first, and no one was in a hurry.

"Today's memorial." Eunuch Hou walked in from the outside and handed over the memorial from the early court.

Emperor Qing casually picked up a book and flipped through it.

The air freezes again.

"Are you feeling better?" When Fan Jian walked into the room, Fan Xian was alone.He chatted with Fan Ruoruo very late last night, and she had already gone to rest.

"Father." Fan Xian sat up straight.

Fan Jian went to the bed and sat down, "There is no need to get up."

"It's better." Fan Xian said, "I heard that father went to court today?"

"Guess you have to ask."

"Naturally, we need to be concerned."

"There is nothing else to say. When the court retired, the prince and the second prince were called to the imperial study, and Chen Pingping was with them." Fan Jian went straight to the point.

"I haven't figured it out from the beginning to the end. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, why would the Second Prince dare to intercept and kill the mission?" Fan Xian asked without hesitation.

Fan Jian smiled, "Why do you say that the second prince killed the mission?"

First he was taken aback, then Fan Xian smiled, "It's not the second prince, it's Xie Bi'an."

"Not enough." Fan Jian said.

Frowning, Fan Xian murmured, "What's the truth?"

"Do the facts matter?"

After taking a breath, Fan Xian understood what his father wanted to express, so he smiled, "I see."

"It's just that no one thought that you would make such a bad move."

"Can father see it?" Fan Xian asked.

"If you look at it from the perspective of others, you can't see it." Fan Jian said, "But after all, it's your father, and he heard some things, so he can deduce it."

"Father must have seen Gundam before." Fan Xian said, "Actually, I didn't think of this trick, but coming out of Northern Qi, Zhong Zhong set an example for me. He used this method to protect his sister, so I will In this way, I acted in such a play according to the gourd painting. In fact, when I was on the road, I already understood that the second prince would not let me return to the capital so easily. Facts have proved that I guessed right , I just didn’t expect him to be able to leave such evidence as Xie Bi’an, if he wants to sit firmly, this evidence must be dealt with.”

"Xie Bi'an is no longer here," Fan Jian said.

Fan Xian's face tightened.

"The second prince is not a fool." Fan Jian said, "I'm afraid the outcome of this matter will be beyond your expectations."

"Of course the second prince is not a fool. If people in the world know the inside story, they will be able to see through it. Naturally, he will not do it so simple. I think this time he is clearly cultivating the plank road and secretly plotting against Chen Cang, but where are his black hands reaching?" I really have no way of knowing." Fan Xian sighed, "Fortunately, I can still draw my salary from the bottom of the pot, and if it really comes to the point of death, the second prince will not be happy."

"Don't worry." Fan Jian poured a cup of tea for Fan Xian, "The protagonist of this scene is not you, but for you, his methods will probably be used in the days after you return to the capital. For a while, you don't have to panic."

Fan Xian suddenly realized.

"Thank you father for answering your questions."

Fan Jian asked a few more questions about his body and left.

Sitting on the bed, Fan Xian couldn't help but blushed.If it is really according to what my father said, then the next thing will be very interesting.

He had already steadily sent Yan Bingyun from Northern Qi to the embrace of the second prince. What he wanted to achieve had been perfectly accomplished. Except for the fact that he was still alive, almost everything was arranged according to his script. , but it is impossible for him to think that Yan Bingyun is his own for the time being. Of course, this matter will take a while to give him a strong reassurance.

Judging from the current situation, the most dangerous person is kneeling beside the second prince. He didn't even think about what the end of the scene would be. The result of the Sanying battle against Lu Bu was not Liu Guanzhang or Lu Bu, but the one next to him. theatergoers.

Really ruthless.

He grasped a point that is easily overlooked by everyone in the world. If Fan Xian had not personally experienced the death of Lin Gong, the eldest son of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, he would not have thought of this point.

What Emperor Qing wanted was not the result that everyone wanted. What he cared about was not who killed the mission.

But...

Who is the final loser.

The person who wields the most power in the deep palace never cares about the truth of the matter. The only thing that can make him truly decide is the size of his power, and his success in the battle. Among them, only the winner is the writer of the truth.

And the real truth.

Go to hell.
