Chapter 8 8. Holding the pen palm print
Fan Fei smiled and waved his hand, then stood up straight and said: "To be honest, I feel resentful and grateful at the same time. If it weren't for my father, there would be no us brothers. If it weren't for our father, Grandma Fan wouldn't have raised us. We have grown up over the years." I live a very comfortable life, even though there are occasional assassinations, I am still carefree."

"Of course, I am very resentful in my heart. Because of my father's mistakes, my mother died tragically at a young age. We have been living in Danzhou all these years, and my father has never visited us. There is only the kindness of giving birth but no nurturing feeling, let alone companionship. Friendship. You missed so many things in our lives. You don’t know when we learned to eat, when we learned to walk, when we learned to read and write.”

Even though his mind was as indestructible as a rock, Emperor Qing still had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say when he stroked Fan Fei's hair.Sometimes he also wondered whether the original plan was too heartless and ruthless.But he is Emperor Qing who is in charge of a country's military affairs and raised millions of people.Ye Qingmei's idea was too shocking, it was a crazy action to subvert the regime.

He is Emperor Qing, the emperor of Qing, and he should do what an emperor should do.

Fortunately, what he did back then was extremely secretive.Even if some people had guesses, no one would question it.Even Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and Wu Zhu didn't know the real reason.

"So what if you lie?"

Fan Fei's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and his originally gentle temperament suddenly became extremely philistine.With a groveling look, he approached Emperor Qing suspiciously and held his hand without letting go: "My father is Emperor Qing. He has whatever he wants, so there is no resentment. If father gives me a beautiful concubine, The position and power of an extremely popular minister. Let alone 18 years, even 38 years, Fan Fei has no regrets."

"Ha ha--"

Fan Fei, who had a completely different temperament, made Emperor Qing feel particularly happy during today's trip.If I had known that this kid was so interesting, I should have brought him back sooner.Compared with the prince who values ​​​​strategy and only cares about the throne, there is the second child who strives for the prince's throne wholeheartedly and does not hesitate to use any means.It seems that Fan Fei is more humane and more in line with the image of a son in his heart.

At this time, Gong Dian outside the door loudly reported back: "The princess has left first. Fan Xian wants to follow. Does your majesty want to take off?"

"Uh -, no need for now. Gong Dian, let Fan Xian go back first, Fan Fei will stay with me for a while."

Originally, Emperor Qing wanted to see Fan Fei and Fan Xian, and also let Fan Xian get to know the princess.After all, he is his son, and he must know who he is.But he didn't expect Fan Fei to be so close to him, so he simply changed his original plan.

Fan Fei also said to Jueying outside the hall: "Ying'er, you go back with the second master. As I said before, you must not take action until the moment of life and death."

Jueying would never refuse Fan Fei's order. With a gentle rising and falling sound, Jueying left with a long knife in her arms, following closely behind the carriage in secret.

You know, Gong Dian is no match for Jueying, who just defeated all the guards on his own.As long as Jueying exists, Gong Dian may not feel at ease. After all, he doesn't know the unparalleled cultivation of Grand Master Qingdi.

"This woman is good."

Fan Fei smiled and replied to Emperor Qing: "The one trained by Uncle Wu Zhu is considered his disciple. I adopted an orphan girl from the streets of Danzhou."

The power of the Overwatch Council is so terrifying. From childhood to adulthood, every word and deed of the Fan brothers has been reported in detail.The origin of Jueying is very clear, but no one expected that the little girl who lived on the street would have such a talent.However, in just 15 years, one can reach the ninth level of martial arts.

However, her cultivation speed was too frightening, which made her foundation weak and weak, and she would never be able to become a great master in this life.

"Let's talk about you! Now that you have come to Kyoto, what do you think about the future?" Emperor Qing waved his hand and took two steps, then said to Fan Fei seriously: "I heard that Fan Xian's future will be a beautiful wife and concubine. Suave and romantic. What about you?"

"Holding the sword of the Emperor, rule the world. Who else would succeed me than me?" Looking at Emperor Qing who looked increasingly serious, Fan Fei still had no hesitation.Instead, he looked directly into Emperor Qing's eyes with high spirits and continued with an arrogant attitude: "My mother set up the inscription on the Supervisory Yuan. I heard it from my husband and Dean Chen. I want to prove that my mother's original idea was wrong, freedom and equality." There will always be only big and small, not the so-called no gap. Only the emperor is qualified to administer fairness and justice, and it belongs to the people only if it is given to the people. If it is not given to them, they cannot come and snatch it away."

"My father will be the overlord who sweeps the world. The Qing Kingdom with its strong soldiers and horses will surely destroy all other countries in the future. As the successor, I will build my own achievements on my father's unparalleled hegemony. I will be kind and virtuous. Let the world rest and recuperate, and let all the people of the Qing Kingdom feel the power and achievements of Emperor Qing."

If we say that the previous Fan Fei was a humble gentleman, gentle and elegant, he seemed to be blowing all things in the spring breeze.So at this moment, he was in a high-spirited posture, exuding extraordinary nobility, like a graceful and noble son of an emperor.Even Emperor Qing could not ignore his burning ambition.He never imagined that there was someone who understood his thoughts and had the same great ideals as him.

This unprecedented recognition and the dream of looking forward to the future made him feel a warm feeling in his heart: "But this cannot be accomplished overnight. Have you ever thought about how to achieve it? Qingguo is the first country in the world. As a powerful country, the power of Danbei Qi is not inferior, not to mention that there is Dongyi City to check and balance."

Emperor Qing didn't seem to feel it yet, and his thoughts were changing unconsciously.Ranjian couldn't help but replace Fan Fei as the successor. This moment was both an argument and a test for Fan Fei.

"Since my father has asked, I can only give a brief explanation. After all, I know too little information, so I can only make rough guesses about the future."

Fan Fei frowned and thought carefully, then raised his head and looked at Emperor Qing seriously and said: "Of all the countries in the world, only Dongyi City and Northern Qi State pose the greatest threat to Qing State. The key to why Qing State is contained is the Grand Master. The powerful combat power. Dongyi City has Sigu Sword, and Northern Qi also has Kuhe."

"Fortunately, we have two great masters in the Qing Kingdom, and temporarily let the two forces stop fighting. In order to fight against the Qing Kingdom, Dongyi and Northern Qi are bound to form an alliance in secret. The most important thing to put down the kingdoms is to kill Sigu Sword and Kuhe. If my father believes in me and gives me five years, I will be able to be promoted to rank nine martial artist. Equipped with Jueying's saber, my Heavenly Questioning Sword, even though I can't kill the grand master, I can definitely hold him back. With two The power of a great master will surely defeat them one by one."

"As for the level of national strength, I still need my father to completely rectify the administration of officials and recruit capable and moral officials. At the same time, we must reserve enough money and food, so that the soldiers cannot go to war hungry. This problem requires the cooperation of the six ministers and the prime minister. Work hard. The Overwatch Council must also operate with all its strength and send out spy discs with sufficient capabilities. Not only the military and politics, but also the people's sentiments must be included one by one. Sometimes the real key can only be found in tiny details."

"Developing the latest weapons, although the Qing Kingdom is powerful, it is not invincible. Only by making continuous progress can the Qing Kingdom remain strong. A reward system is proposed for the soldiers, farmers, businessmen, and as long as they contribute to the Qing Kingdom, they will be rewarded."

The more Emperor Qing listened, the more surprised he became, and his expression became more and more joyful. He couldn't help but praise and said: "Well, he is indeed my son."

On that day, all the tranquility in Kyoto was broken.An imperial edict from Emperor Qing made all officials uneasy and didn't know what was going on.For a moment, everyone's eyes were not only fixed on Fan Mansion, but also on the imperial palace.Everyone can feel that the meeting tomorrow will be very lively.

"Emperor Qing summoned Fan Fei, the eldest son of the concubine Fan Jian, who is also the Minister of Household Affairs and Nan Bo. He has noble character, outstanding talents and pure nature. He is indeed a great talent in Qing Dynasty. I feel that this talent should not be discarded lightly, and I ordered him to be [Bingbi] Zhangyin Lang]. I appreciate this——"

What is Bingbi? It means writing prose and imperial edicts for Emperor Qing.

What is the palm seal? It is the responsibility of stamping the jade seal and holding the Zhupai jade seal.

Lang is only a ninth-rank official, and his title is not the same as that of Fan Lang.The official rank is not very high, and it would not make any splash in Kyoto.But just by looking at the name, you can tell how noble the duties are.They were close ministers of Emperor Qing, who were closer to the emperor than the inner guards.What is more important is to be able to get in touch with various memorials of the Qing Kingdom, and to know the most core secrets and rights of the Qing Kingdom.Knowing Emperor Qing's mind and layout, power and status cannot be underestimated.

By the time Fan Fei came back from Qing Temple, Fan Mansion was already bustling with people.If Fan Jian hadn't suppressed it with all his strength, even the threshold would have been leveled.It can be said that this decree made Fan Mansion immediately become the most popular presence in Kyoto.The eldest son became Bingbi Zhangyin Lang, and the second son was married to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the future he would be in charge of the inner treasury.

What a blessing. With the care of the two brothers, Fan Sizhe was able to rise to the top.With the accumulation of knowledge and time, Fan Mansion could be elevated to the position of the most powerful person in Kyoto.People in Kyoto lamented that Fan Jianzhen would give birth to a son.Obviously, the two illegitimate children had not seen each other for 18 years while they were raised in Danzhou, but after entering Kyoto, they took off and traveled around for nine days.

Of course, there were also people who stood on the sidelines indifferently, watching him build a tall building, see him entertain guests, and see his building collapse.

The position of power is not just for the moment, but for the future. Who can guarantee that Fan Mansion can continue to prosper.

But this has nothing to do with Fan Fei. Today he returns home for the first time and has an official position conferred by Emperor Qing. Naturally, he can no longer use the small door of the mansion.Even if Liu Ruyu wanted to suppress it, she couldn't let outsiders laugh. She could only order her servants to open the door ceremoniously.It was also the first time for Fan Fei to see Aunt Liu, and he immediately knelt on one knee respectfully and said, "Xiao Fei says hello to Aunt Liu."

"Okay, get up quickly." Even if it was the first time they met, Liu Ruyu had to admit it.Compared to the gentle and elegant Fan Fei, Fan Sizhe is nothing to mention. How can dirt compare with jade?But we still have to fight for what should be fought, but we can't put things in the open, and we can't lack the kindness that we should have as an elder.

"Xiao Fei is indeed a good-looking person. He is worthy of the praise of "Fan Lang", and he is worthy of being the "handwriting master" personally appointed by His Majesty. If Sizhe has half your ability, my aunt can wake up laughing even in her dreams."
