Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 59

After staying for a few days, several people returned to Shangshu Mansion.

After going to court this morning, Fan Jian had already left home, while Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo ran into Fan Xian's room in a hurry. At this time, Fan Xian had just returned to the room, and he was about to wash his face. While taking a shower, the two girls immediately broke in and stood behind Fan Xian one by one.Startled, Fan Xian looked back at the two of them, "Huh?"

"Good news." Fan Ruoruo said.

"Bad news." Lin Wan'er pouted, "Which one do you listen to?"

Fan Xian watched the two sing together, feeling a little surprised, "Huh? Well, let's hear the bad news first."

Lin Wan'er laughed and pulled Fan Xian to sit on the bedside. She had a happy face, she didn't look like someone who was about to tell bad news, but she still pretended to be mysterious and said, "But what about the imperial edict of the emperor's uncle? listen."

"Yo!" Fan Xian immediately stood up pretendingly, straightened his clothes a few times, and bowed slightly, "My servant, Fan Xian, accept the order."

Seeing Fan Xian started to play, Lin Wan'er also finished it properly, opened her fake hand, as if holding an imperial decree, and said, "Follow the emperor's decree, saying: Fan Xian is serving the Imperial Academy." Righteousness, the honorable position of the world's students is in the Imperial College, Fan Xian is on duty, and he needs to lead by example, so as to imitate others, the death of Zhuang Mohan, the world's academic master, is my regret, and now I order Fan Xian to be my emperor of Daqing, To pay Beiqi's invitation to pay homage to Mr. Zhuang Mohan's death. Mr. Zhuang Mohan donated all he had learned in his life to Fan Xian. This was done by his teacher. The people of the family must know how to repay their kindness, and this behavior must be cautious and solemn, not to lose the generality of the country, and not to violate the respect of the teacher."

"Kin this!"

Lin Wan'er continued to pretend to close the imperial decree in her hand.

At this moment, Fan Xian looked at Lin Wan'er, "Huh? How many months has it been?"

"Today is April 28." Fan Ruoruo laughed.

"Mr. Zhuang Mohan passed away in August, what does it mean that he issued an edict so early?" Fan Xian was a little puzzled.

Fan Ruoruo just ran over and said to Fan Xian, "Then why don't you ask me the good news? Brother!"

"Oh? So what's the good news?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Father wants us to tell you that grandma is going to celebrate her birthday, but he definitely won't be able to leave. I want my aunt to take us to celebrate grandma's birthday together!" Fan Ruoruo said with blinking eyes.

Fan Xian understood that the good news and bad news that these two girls did were just a funeral and a happy event. Fan Xian understood at this time that although Lin Wan'er was happy to leave the capital city, when she pretended to read the imperial decree just now, she had an expressionless expression on her face. Seriously, this is a kind of respect she has for Zhuang Mohan, who may be regarded as her teacher.

It turned out that this was the case, and Fan Xian felt joyful from the bottom of his heart, "Then we're going to go all the way to Danzhou and then go straight to Beiqi? Passing by for sightseeing, stop and go?"

"Yes!" Lin Wan'er laughed, "I have never seen so many mountains and rivers, let alone Northern Qi, I have never been to Danzhou, your hometown. I'm going to get sick."

"I haven't been back to Danzhou for a long time. I haven't been back since I was a child. This time, it's grandma's birthday, so I just go back to see grandma." Fan Ruoruo said.

Looking at Fan Ruoruo, Fan Xian suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, Haitang Duoduo's letter explained what he asked her to do. Fan Xian calculated the time. The news should have reached the Qing Kingdom in the past few days. If His Majesty intends to If it is for it, then the marriage may be completely broken up, but the emperor will definitely not take it back, so he just used this excuse to do it deliberately.

This emperor is really worrying, Fan Xian said with a smile, should he take the lead in everything?Even if it is to cancel a marriage contract, Fan Xian has to find a way by himself, which is really elusive.

While the second daughter was staying at home to prepare, Fan Xian went back and forth a few times in the afternoon, from Yishiju to Baoyue Tower. After being escorted by Sang Wen from the back door, the two of them came to the room on the top floor. The room prepared by the First Prince.

After entering, there was a compartment with three doors. The three girls at the door did not have rouge and tender jade pendants, but were practicing swords. Fan Xian glanced at Sang Wen strangely, and Sang Wen then lowered his head and explained, "Daddy!" The prince said that he wanted to prepare a gift for you. It is said that half a month has passed since he came in. In the past half month, he has carefully selected four girls and taught them how to practice swords every day. Now it is quite effective. "

Fan Xian laughed, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the eldest prince's gourd, so he wandered into the cabinet.

"Here we come!" The eldest prince stood up immediately when he saw Fan Xian, and the girl beside him was dressed up, and the moment she saw Fan Xian, she showed a shy look.

"This is you?" Fan Xian asked.

"A gift for you." The eldest prince gave the girl next to him a wink. The girl turned around and came straight to Fan Xian. With a gentle touch on her waist with her left hand, a soft sword appeared inexplicably.

Fan Xian was taken aback, the opponent's speed was not very fast, he immediately dodged to dodge, the girl's sword move was very sharp, and the swing of the soft sword showed irregular tremors.He subconsciously retreated for a walk, frowning.

"This is a swordsmanship exclusively used by women in the West Frontier. Although the strength is not high, it is very effective to catch the opponent by surprise. In addition, the woman has no trace of martial arts training, so it is easy to be underestimated." The eldest prince explained, "Plus……"

The girl stretched out her hand and picked up Fan Xian's purse, "My lord, this purse belongs to a little girl. If you want it, at night..."

Looking at the charming girl, Fan Xian really didn't know what to say, and finally held his forehead, "That's not a money bag."

"My lord, please don't bully my little girl, I just want to be a maid in the same room." The girl smiled charmingly and opened the kit, and a snake sprang out of it.

"I said... that's not a money bag..." Fan Xian looked at the scared girl in embarrassment.

"Hahahahaha..." Several people laughed.

Now the eldest prince is a person that everyone likes in the court, and the emperor did not feel sorry for him anymore, and the three brothers got along better and better, and the second prince even invited him to the house as a guest.

After talking in detail, Fan Xian came out from the building.

Strolling from Baoyue Tower to the Overwatch Council, the moment he reached the gate of the Overwatch Council, he was stopped by the people in front of the gate. Fan Xian knew at a glance that it was someone from the same place, so he moved over.

The other party immediately ran to Fan Xian's side, and said in a low voice, "My lord, you came just as soon as the dean asked for you."

Fan Xian frowned, and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."

Only then did they go in, and under the lead, Fan Xian walked to the rear of Chen Pingping, who was feeding the dog with a piece of fat in her hand.

"If you eat like this, the fat ones won't be able to walk." Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping contemptuously.

Chen Pingping actually smiled, and looked back at Fan Xian, "Here we are."

"I just strolled here, so you came to see me." Fan Xian said, "I went to Yishiju and Baoyuelou in the afternoon."

"What? I'm leaving, miss your business?" Chen Pingping waved her hands, and wiped her hands with the stall in front of her. Fan Xian immediately grabbed the handle on the back of his wheelchair and pushed him inside.

"Don't mention it, these two places are really unambiguous about making money." Fan Xian laughed.

"You, like your mother, like these things. The queen mother once said that these merchants' tricks are heresy, but when your mother earned ten times the amount of silver from the Qing State treasury in a year, the mother never said that again. If there is any problem with the merchants." Chen Pingping picked up his beautiful water bottle and watered the flowers and plants.

Of course, Fan Xian sighed, "I can't learn my mother's skills. Even if I win the internal treasury by then, I guess I won't be able to achieve the glory I once had."

"That's not what you want to do." Chen Pingping said suddenly, "The internal treasury is just a means. It is not your end, nor is it your goal."

Fan Xian was taken aback, as if he was a little surprised that these words would come out of Chen Pingping's mouth.

What he said may be correct. The reason why he allowed himself to enter the capital city, to follow his father's wishes to take over the internal treasury, and to hand over the Overwatch Council to himself after the compromise was made. Fan Xian didn't know what this old man wanted to do. I know, but he always feels that somewhere, the old man's thoughts are very far away, even very scary.

Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping's room. He seemed to have stayed here for a long time. The surrounding walls were a little weak, and some dust fell from the wall. He touched the wall with his hand, and Fan Xian asked in a murmur, "Are you here?" How long have you been here?"

"It's been more than 20 years. At first, this house was reserved for your mother. She never came, and then I took it for myself." Chen Pingping said.

He was indeed old. When talking, Fan Xian could feel that Chen Pingping was starting to miss him. Fan Xian knew that once a person started to miss the past, he was really old.

In fact, putting aside the horrible things that this person in front of him did, Fan Xian is still more willing to stay with Chen Pingping, after all, this is the only person in this world who is willing to talk to him about what happened before Ye Qingmei died, of course There was another one, but Uncle Wu Zhu had completely forgotten about it.

"It's very interesting to read your poems these days." Chen Pingping wiped the table in front of her, and put the teacup on the table.

Fan Xian walked over, "It's been more than a year since my collection of poems was published, and you just read it? If there is something outrageous in my collection of poems, then you, the dean of the Overwatch Council, are really dereliction of duty."

"Your poetry collection was copied by Eunuch Hou. If you want to talk about treason, you have to kill him first and then talk about you. What does it have to do with the old man? The old man didn't drink a sip of that wine." Chen Pingping glanced at her eyebrows and said. .

"You talk about poetry collections, did my mother write any poems back then?" Fan Xian asked with interest.

"I wrote it." Chen Pingping suddenly wrinkled his face, he thought for a moment, and said with some surprise, "It's too bleak and very magnificent, but all the characters depicted in it seem to be fictional, so I don't understand to the homage in the verse."

"Ah?" Fan Xian was a little surprised, he asked, "What poem?"

Chen Pingping turned her head to look out the window, took a deep breath and said,

"The scenery of the northern country is frozen for thousands of miles, and snow drifts for thousands of miles."

"Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing left but wild. Up and down the great river, it suddenly stops flowing."

"Mountain dance silver snake, Yuanchi wax figure, I want to compete with the god of heaven."

"..."

"..."

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly, this is really embarrassing for his mother, from the palace to the procuratorate, he just failed in Chinese.

"Isn't it very magnificent?" Chen Pingping asked, with a proud smile on his face, "Especially this sentence, the country is so beautiful! It has attracted countless heroes to bow down!"

"When the queen mother and the current emperor heard this sentence, they undoubtedly did not praise your mother as a hero at that time. With such a vision, she really doesn't look like a woman, but like a person with the world in mind. Such a mind is invaluable." Chen Pingping seemed Also very appreciated.

In order not to continue discussing this topic, Fan Xian directly opened his mouth and turned a corner, "Why do you want me to go on a mission all of a sudden?"

"You should have thought of it, I don't think it was very sudden." Chen Pingping said.

Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping, trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence carefully. He thought for a while, and seemed to understand what he said, tilted his head and asked, "Does the emperor know?"

"What do you think he doesn't know?" Chen Pingping looked up at Fan Xian with a smile.

Fan Xian nodded and let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that it's all due to you."

"He has to know everything, it depends on the means used." Chen Pingping smiled, "If it is not through the Overwatch Council, then the Overwatch Council would not need to continue to exist."

He seems to be talking about a very simple truth, but who knows how much blood and rain is hidden in this sentence?A companion is like a tiger. The reason why Chen Pingping has the power to monitor the world in this capital city, and even in a wheelchair, is that he must be able to survive every step of the way.

Isn't it tiring to live like this?Fan Xian didn't know the answer, but he always felt that the old man in front of him was always planning something that might be beyond his imagination, otherwise Fan Xian really didn't know what the meaning of his being strong until now was just for the sake of the that power?Chen Pingping would not be so superficial.

"So this journey is not actually for the last Northern Qi?" Fan Xian asked.

"The old lady of the Fan family and the queen mother are friends. The emperor must know the news of her birthday. Moreover, he has prepared a congratulatory gift. In addition, you have never left the capital city after your wedding this year. Although His Majesty seems to be plain Impermanence, but you are more anxious than you." Chen Pingping said, "You will take over the internal treasury in the middle of next year, right?"

Fan Xian nodded, "Yes."

"It seems that His Majesty has already planned the itinerary for you." Chen Pingping smiled. He pointed to the bookcase beside him and said to Fan Xian, "The second shelf in the third row, the third one at the bottom, take it out."

Fan Xian walked over with his finger, found it accurately and pulled it out. It was a map, and this map was exactly the territory of Qing Kingdom.He looked at the map suspiciously, "Oh?"

"Guess it?" Chen Pingping smiled.

Fan Xian suddenly had a gloomy expression on his face, "You knew this before?"

"Of course." Chen Pingping said, "If I hadn't known it before, the Shi Chanli you saw was a corpse. If I hadn't helped in secret, the Gundam who came out to report the letter would also be a dead person. You have to know, actually There are still many sinister things in Baoyue Tower."

The drawing of this map is exactly the same as Shi Chanli's drawing of Baoyuelou for Fan Xian, in terms of techniques, marking features, and even the annotations below. Coupled with the handwriting, it is not difficult to see that the drawer of this map , is Shi Chanli.

This shows that before contacting Fan Xian, Shi Chanli had been working for Chen Pingping.

In fact, it is a matter of course for the people of the Overwatch Council to work for the director of the Overwatch Council, but Fan Xian didn't know it at all, which made him very upset, but he immediately curled his lips, "No wonder, after I entered the Overwatch Council , I haven't even met him, but why couldn't you tell me about Fan Sizhe in advance?"

Faced with Fan Xian's doubts, Chen Pingping suddenly calmed down. He stared into Fan Xian's eyes and said a meaningful sentence. After the sentence was finished, Fan Xian's back felt a little chilly.

"Fan Xian, there will always be a day when I'm not around."

After he finished speaking, he looked out of the window. The sky outside the window seemed to be cloudy, and it was going to rain.
