Chapter 53 The mottled city wall is heavy at night
Fan Xian smiled slightly and said, "Majestic is naturally majestic, but it seems a little old. It seems that your country needs to find a time to repair it."
In the words of the two, they secretly hurt each other, and everyone was silent. After a while, the guard Hua whispered: "Master Fan is here, so I will naturally be the host. After the official business is completed, please give me a look."
Fan Xian looked at him and wondered why there was a faint hostility between the lines of this person, but this hostility was not as good as hatred. He couldn't help but feel curious. He had never met this person before, so why did he offend the other party?
Lin Wen laughed beside the two of them at this time, "I know that this Lord Wei Hua is the eldest son of the Changning Hou who was sent to this dynasty last year. The Lord Fan Zheng Hua fought for a drink in the hall last year. The Marquis was drunk. After returning to China, he kept thinking about it and said that a powerful young man appeared in the Southern Dynasty. Not only was he well written, but his alcohol tolerance was also amazing. Lord Wei Hua often listened, so he naturally wanted to compete with the Lord."
"So that's it." Fan Xian smiled bitterly, and looked at the Lord Wei again. As expected, he saw some similarities to Changning Hou in the other party's face. Last year, he served as deputy envoy to receive the Northern Qi mission and had a lot of dealings with Changning Hou. Later, at the banquet in the palace, he even worked hard to drink and was considered half a drinker. He couldn't help but bow and said: "If Brother Wei wants to avenge his father, he has to wait for a few days. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if I am confused and messing up the important affairs between the two countries, it's hard to explain to His Majesty."
Everyone laughed and left the matter to mention it later.
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was indeed prosperous. Although the streets were not wide, there were restaurants and restaurants along the way, with green tiles and light walls and high trees. The scenery was beautiful. The pedestrians on the street also had a gentle smile, full of confidence and self-pride, and it was not like a defeated country.
Under the reception of Wei Hua, the delegation headed west to the city and arranged for the royal family courtyard behind Honglu Temple to live. From this arrangement, it can be seen that the Emperor of Northern Qi gave enough face to the Qing State mission.
Along the way, Fan Xian chatted with Wei Hua and found that this son knew very well about the Qingguo officialdom and could not only say some powerful names. Judging from his tone, he seemed to even know Li Hongcheng, the prince of Prince Jing. This surprised Fan Xian. The two countries were quite far apart and they didn't know how they met.
During the conversation, Fan Xian also had a vague understanding of the current government affairs of Northern Qi. Of course, before heading north, he had read countless files in the Supervision Bureau and knew that the Northern Qi court was far from as harmonious as Wei Hua said, and was shining with golden light.
The Empress Dowager of Northern Qi is only in her thirties and is still young. The Emperor's Majesty has just taken power and cannot completely control the government. The Empress of the Emperor Party has its own forces in the court and is conducting silent confrontation. If it weren't for the complete defeat of the Northern Qi Dynasty last year, the conflict would have been temporarily suppressed, I'm afraid that Shangjing has already been in chaos now.
Uesugi Tsuki was originally a general from the north, and for this reason, he was transferred back to Shangjing.
Fan Xian asked unintentionally: "I heard that General Uesugi is an extraordinary hero. When will Brother Wei have time to spare? Take me to visit."
Wei Hua said in a strange way: "Mr. Fan is interested in General Uesugi?"
"Although I am not a weak scholar, I always admire the heroes who resist the barbarians." Fan Xian smiled gently.
Wei Hua's expression was strange, and he didn't seem to want to talk about the Uesugi. Fan Xian saw his expression in his eyes, stopped talking, and smiled slightly.
When the delegation arrived at the villa, there were relevant people responsible for arranging accommodation. After a long time of busyness, it was finally arranged. Wei Hua, as the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, naturally had to arrange dinner. At the table, he slightly tested Fan Xian's alcohol tolerance and found that the young official actually drank wine as water. He truly practiced the true meaning of the word "drinking" and was shocked and suddenly weakened his idea of fighting for wine to avenge his father.
When the crowd left, only the missionary was left in the entire courtyard. The guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty were very polite and only guarded the outer gates, and handed over all the matters in the inner courtyard to the mission itself.
There were only five people in the room, Fan Xian, Lin Wen and Lin Jing, Gundam and Wang Qinian.
Fan Xian closed his eyes for a long time and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping around the room, then he spoke softly: "We are in the heart of the enemy country, and we are more careful when doing things and speaking."
The two brothers Lin Wen and Lin Jing were indeed a little quiet, nodding slightly, but seeing that Wang Qinian and Gundam seemed to be Fan Tisi's confidants, they might not know much about the recent situation in Northern Qi. After Lin Wen pondered for a moment, he slowly spoke and reported the recent situation in Beijing to Fan Xian to know.
"Is Uesugi Tsuki a free position?" Fan Xian frowned. This was completely different from his previous judgment. The Supervision Bureau originally thought that the general who was the most capable of fighting in Northern Qi was transferred from the wilderness and ice and snow to the south, it must be to deal with the aggressive offensive of Qingguo. Why did it become a free position again?
"General Huaiyuan, although his name sounds good, he has only one hundred private soldiers around him. There are guards of Shangjing, three commanders, and General Husband... Although General Huaiyuan has a big word and a respectable status, he has no soldiers in his hands. Even if Uesugi has the peerless courage, he can only go up and down honestly and sigh in his arms with his concubine." Lin Wen said with a hint of mocking: "A tiger is raised in a shackle. No matter how powerful it is, it can only scare people."
Fan Xian tapped the table gently, shook his head and was puzzled: "What are you doing? I'll transfer such a guy back to Kyoto and don't let him go to war. I just keep it like this. Is this Northern Qi so much money and I have nowhere to spend it?"
Lin Wen sighed and said, "Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty fought against each other. Everyone wanted to win Uesugi Tiger's support, but everyone was afraid that Uesugi Tiger would completely fall to the other side, so now they can only be left. However, Uesugi Tiger's name is here, and his appeal in the military is too strong. Even if there are only one hundred personal guards in the capital, no one dares to underestimate him."
Fan Xian shook his head and sighed: "No wonder there were only so many private soldiers on the edge of the Wudu River this time. I was surprised that Uesugi Tsubaki would never be so careless when he responded to Sean's escape from such a big thing."
Lin Wen was stunned. He didn't know what happened along the way. Lin Jing quickly explained quickly from the side. Lin Wen was shocked. Seeing that Fan Xian seemed to be not injured, he felt relieved and said worriedly: "What is the relationship between General Uesugi and Sean?"
