Chapter 3 Housework

The eldest prince has been fighting abroad for many years. Although the Western Barbarians are no longer as fierce as they were back then, after all, there are mostly wind and snow on the battlefield. After a few years of being soaked in the sword light with blood, this prince is already very different from the brothers in Beijing. There are fewer false traps and more temperaments in the army.

This time he returned to Beijing, as the leader of the eldest prince, he could bring 200 to 500 personal guards to Beijing as the commander, but in the end he only picked 200 personal guards. He thought he didn't want the officials in the capital to be too concerned with the palace, but the personal guards under him were all brave. At this time, he was almost unable to suppress his murderous aura. The two hundred personal guards were riding on horseback and showed a look of arrogance and contempt. People who came from the battlefield would always look at these civil servants. But these hundreds of eyes turned to the carriage, and knew the identity of the people in the carriage, and they didn't dare to say anything.

The car was sitting in the future imperial concubine. No matter how stunned the murderers from the Western Army came down, they would not be so stupid that they offended the future hostess for the sake of fighting for the truth.

The Minister of Rites welcomed him out of the city ten miles away. At this time, the officials present had the deepest qualifications and the highest official rank. In an awkward silence, he stood up very uncomfortable and prepared to smooth things over. He said a few words, but in the neighing of the horse, few people could hear it clearly.

A neighing sound suddenly sounded, and the cavalry of the Western Army's personal camp separated from it like flowing water. Dozens of horses were controlled very accurately. A large area was given up on the not-so-magnanimous official road. With the sound of horse hooves, a general wearing mysterious armor walked up to him.

Fan Xian was standing next to the Grand Princess carriage, frowned slightly, and was about to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the horses of the eldest prince's personal soldiers rushed over with the momentum of giving way. These soldiers were away for many years, but they didn't know what kind of character Fan Xian was. He saw this beautiful young man talking before, and he was even more angry at this time. At this time, he had the idea of ​​scaring him to the ground and humiliating him, so the few tall horses in front of him wiped Fan Xian's body, looking extremely dangerous.

Fan Xian smiled, bowed slightly, and bowed to the general immediately. He ignored the horse jumping and neighing beside him, saying: "My minister Fan Xian, I have seen Your Highness."

The one who rode a horse was naturally the eldest prince of Qing Kingdom. He saw his eyes were bright and bright, and his eyes were naturally fierce. His eyebrows were straight and his nose was straight, and his cheekbones were slightly high, but they did not look ugly. Instead, they had a hint of heroic spirit. The eldest prince rode on the horse, and his armor was reflected all over his body, which looked like a god, which made people dare not look directly at him.

So Fan Xian did not look directly at him. He just smiled a little disgustingly and shyly, and bowed his head slightly to salute.

The eldest prince didn't seem to have thought that the civil servant who seemed a little restrained and humble in front of the horse was Fan Xian, who is now the most popular in the capital. He was slightly stunned. He suddenly said, "How come he smiled like a girl."

The eldest prince was rough and arrogant, but he was speechless, but he was not careful to be heard by the personal soldiers around him. He thought that the master wanted to deliberately humiliate the civil servant who dared to compete with him. So he laughed in unison, and the laughter rushed straight to the sky outside the suburbs of Kyoto, with endless contempt. The eldest prince was stunned for a moment. He was too lazy to care, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

And the horses that were pride were getting closer and closer to Fan Xian, and he could already hear the sound of the horse's nostrils opening. Several long faces of horses rushed towards him. It was the eldest prince's personal soldiers who wanted to ride a horse and force the regiment to leave the official road.

Fan Xian frowned slightly. He did not expect that the eldest prince would not give his future wife a face, and it seemed that he would not give his remote brother-in-law a face. As the horse's face in front of him was getting closer and closer, the excitement in the huge horse's geography gradually arose. He knew that these war horses were not easy to control and their temperament was blood-sucking. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, preparing to retreat temporarily. Anyway, the purpose of making a grudge with the eldest prince has been achieved, so don't really turn against the other party. Fan Xian has nothing to do with the direction of the army. This is his major weakness. If the veteran generals in the Privy Council think that they were deliberately trying to lose face with the West Route Army, I'm afraid the court will be in a difficult situation in the future.

He thought so, but forgot that his subordinates didn't think so. Seeing that Lord Tisi was in danger, the swordsmen of the Supervisory Office hiding in the mission showed their shapes and wandered out like a dozen light smoke, either standing on the carriage or finding the commanding heights beside the official road, and raised the crossbow arrows in their hands and aimed at the horses approaching Fan Xian.

"It's not possible!" The Minister of Rites was shocked and actually used military force outside Kyoto. If this was to spread to the world, how could the court have face? Of course, the Minister of Rites himself would not have to be a minister. Can your eldest prince still have good fruits? Even if you Fan Xian has the support of the Supervisory Office, wouldn't Your Majesty still reward you with a plan?

The ministers who were welcoming the ground reacted at this time. Looking at the cold officials of the Supervision House, they remembered Fan Xian's terrifying identity and shouted: "Stop! What are you messing around!"

The eldest prince looked at this scene coldly, and somehow, he was much more pleasing to this inspector's puppy named Fan Xian. In his heart, anyone who dared to face him head-on was considered a kind of guy.

Fan Xian was secretly complaining at this time. The officials of the Supervision Bureau were trained by him on the way. Unexpectedly, he was worried about his own safety at this time, but he did not care about the face of the court and dared to aim the crossbow arrow at the western army along the way. You must know that these soldiers have been fighting for the country for a long time abroad, and this matter will be spread, but I am afraid that Old Chen will feel uncomfortable for a while.

The eldest prince laughed, as if he could see Fan Xian’s inner concerns, and was about to see how he would handle this matter.

Seeing that someone dared to threaten him, the blood-demon aura that had been refined over the years suddenly surged up, and roared in unison with a huge price, lifted his gun and opened his bow, and surrounded the team in front of the group. At the same time... the horses had already surrounded Fan Xian!

Fan Xian raised his hand, bent his middle and ring fingers, and clearly gestured a gesture surrounded by several horses.

After seeing this gesture, the officials of the Supervision Bureau and the swordsmen looked expressionless, they took off their crossbows, dismounted and returned to the team. They were in a uniform manner and had no hesitation at all.

The eldest prince rode on the horse. The expression of half of Lu Daojia's face remained unchanged, but he was a little shocked deep in his heart. The seemingly weak minister in front of him was so strict that when this situation was actually a gesture, everyone could stop immediately. Even if it was his Western Army, I was afraid that he would not be able to do such discipline.

The eldest prince knew in his heart that it was impossible to be true outside the suburbs of Kyoto, not to mention that the prince and the second son were waiting at the gate, so he gently lifted the reins of the horse and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat. A slight clamor sound came out, and the personal soldiers were still reluctant to withdraw their bows and arrows and pulled their horses back. Compared to the momentum of the Supervisory Office stopping at the command, the eldest prince couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the horses surrounding Fan Xian were about to pull them back, but the distance was too close. In addition, the loess laid on the official road had gradually dried up, and dust rose up, pouring into the nose of a tall horse. The horse kicked its hooves and twisted its long neck, which immediately made the horses mess at the same time.

The two horses rushed towards Fan Xian at the same time!

This was purely accidental. The eldest prince looked at him ten feet across and was shocked. If he really hit the hero in the eyes of this father, he would be afraid that his contribution to the west would be ruined! But he immediately remembered Fan Xian's ability in the legend, and he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. He thought that since you are the Tiss of the Supervision Bureau, you wouldn't have been hit and killed by a few horses, right?

Near! The horse rushed past and immediately buried Fan Xian in the dust rising from the ground. Only the masters could faintly see two lights in the dust.

With two dull sounds of falling to the ground, and after the dust gradually fell, Fan Xian still maintained his hateful smile and stood in the center of the field with some restraint. The two shocked horses flew past his body and fell to the ground dejectedly. The horse's knight seemed to faint. However, the two horses did not have such good luck. The horse's head had already flew far away with two bunches of blood. The corpse of the horse shook the loess on the official road slightly cracked!

Behind Fan Xiandi, two swordsmen in brown clothes held the long swords with their hands, their faces were cold and their eyes were cold, and they looked at the eldest prince's personal military camp not far away.

Two swords were used together, and two horse heads were cut off. The sword was so fast, and the action was so fast!

The eldest prince's pupils shrank slightly. Looking at the two swordsmen behind Fan Xian, somehow, he felt that the other party's move was familiar. He gently tapped the armor on the outside of his thigh, and a slight sound, looking at Fan Xian said word by word: "Mr. Fan is indeed awesome. I have been fighting for several years, but I didn't expect that once I returned to Kyoto, I was killed by you in public! It turned out that the court welcomed soldiers home like this."

Fan Xian sighed, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, as if he thought the smell of the horse blood was a bit pissy, and explained: "Your Highness, give me a thousand courage, and I dare not kill your highness's war horse." He realized at this time that although this highness was rough, he was not a stupid person, and he was tyrannical. Every word was attached to him. When he heard the eldest prince proclaiming himself as the king, he remembered that when he ordered the eldest prince to return to the east, His Majesty had already given the title of the eldest prince. This was the first of all the royal children to be crowned kings.

Thinking that he offended the other party miserably today, Fan Xian couldn't help but frown.

When the eldest prince's face became colder, the close guard beside him came forward and said a few words. Hearing these words, the eldest prince's eyes were certain. He looked at the swordsman behind Fan Xian, frowned and said, "It turned out to be the Tiger Guard."

At this time, Gundam also whispered behind Fan Xian: "The one next to the eldest prince is the famous tiger guard."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know you, but I know you." Gundam responded in a deep voice, and the horse blood on the long sword was still dripping down. Fan Xian said, "Since you are a tiger guard, how can you be so rude to the eldest prince?"

Gundam said in a deep voice: "Young Master, Your Majesty has an order. My subordinates only need to protect the young master's safety. As for who the other party is, there is no need to consider."

The two of them spoke very lightly, and a few inexplicable expressions suddenly appeared between Fan Xian's eyebrows. After a while of silence, he suddenly bowed to the eldest prince's mount and said nothing.

At this time, the personal soldiers under the eldest prince had already carried the two fainted soldiers back. After his high prince gave his order, he rushed over and beat the delegation up. At this time, the eldest prince fell into silence. Suddenly, the eldest prince came alone and drove to Fan Xian's side. He lowered his body slightly, lowered his voice and said, "I like your temper, but you are bullied in killing horses. After entering the capital, be careful that I will cause trouble for you."

Fan Xian looked at the buddy and sighed and said, "Your Highness, it really has nothing to do with me. Please give me a clear understanding."

The eldest prince snorted coldly. As a royal child, he naturally knew the rule of the Tiger Guard and thought it was the bodyguard given to the missionary An by his father. It really had nothing to do with Fan Xian, but he was still extremely angry in his heart.

"It's my intention. If your highness is dissatisfied, don't be embarrassed by Lord Fan." The princess's voice, which had been quiet in the carriage for a long time, finally rang again.

Only then did the officials surrounded him. Ren Shaoan pulled Fan Xian's hand, Xin Qiwu held the eldest prince's legs, the small yellow gate in the palace held the reins of the eldest prince desperately, the Minister of Rites blew his beard and glared at him, and cursed the personal camps with hatred. In addition, the eldest son of the Privy Council acted as the peacekeepers of the Queen of Horses. In short, the Qing Dynasty court mobilized together to surround the eldest prince and Fan Xian, turning swords into jade and silk, turning evil into peace.

After so many officials surrounded him, the mission had to conflict with the Western Army and the military. Otherwise, they would start, or they would really hurt an old man, which would mean they would not give the court face.

What is the court? It is not the three courts, six departments and four temples, but the face, the face of all the ministers.

At this moment, the city gate looked at what seemed to be happening here from afar. Finally, he reacted. He came with dust and asked for a long time before he understood that the mission had arrived in advance and was competing with the eldest prince. Such a major event could not be handled by his subordinates, so he should repay it quickly.

At this time, both sides had a fight. Even if Fan Xian wanted to retreat again, the princess and civil servants in the mission did not want to retreat again. They had to enter the city before the eldest prince.

But the eldest prince died of two horses today. He lost a lot of face. If he hadn't known that Hu Wei was a confidant of the father and emperor, he would have never been able to send a prisoner to the sect, otherwise he would have ordered a random shot to open the way. But at this time he was also aroused, so he would not have allowed the mission to enter the city first. What a bullshit princess! You wouldn't have to bring my foot wash to the king in the future!

The dispute was too late, and the officials were held by the court officials and the horses were blocked. This was naturally impossible to fight, so they had to have some verbal lawsuits. However, when the soldiers of the Western Army were fighting or powerful, they would start to fight, so how could they be the opponents of the diplomatic officials in the delegation who were good at sophistry? From the court rules to the friendship between the two countries, from the holy heart of His Majesty to the face of the officials, gradually the eldest prince was at a disadvantage, but he was very tough to block the official road and refused to let the delegation advance.

A bright yellow landlord drove slowly approaching the accident scene as the most lively vegetable market in the entire court since the founding of Qing Kingdom.

Finally someone discovered it, so he quickly stopped talking. At this time, Fan Xian had already retreated and approached Yan Bingyun's carriage and didn't know what he was saying. After receiving Yan Bingyun's reminder, he immediately discovered the car. He quickly met him, sorted out his official uniform, and followed the officials around him to give a big gift.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

The prince was originally prepared to welcome the eldest prince back to Beijing at the gate of the city according to His Majesty’s imperial edict. But he knew that the trouble was so great that he had no choice but to come to mediate himself.

Seeing that the prince was coming, the eldest prince did not dare to scold him anymore. He quickly dismounted and walked to the prince's carriage with his armor and wanted to kneel down. At this time, the prince had already gotten out of the carriage and stopped him, insisting on him kneeling down. He kept saying, "Brother, you have armor on your body, you don't need to give this great gift, let alone you be the elder brother, how can you worship me?"

The eldest prince's temperament is really straightforward. The prince said he would not let him bow, so he did not bow, straightened up and took off his helmet. Although the officials of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites beside him were muttering in their hearts, the matter between the two brothers, since His Majesty did not care about these etiquettes, he was the one who was a minister, so he talked about them.

The prince looked at his brother's cheek and said emotionally: "The eldest brother has been fighting for the country for many years. This is the wind and sun, and he has lost weight."

The eldest prince smiled and replied, "What's the matter? It's so comfortable to run a horse outside. You know, I don't like staying in the mansion the most, and I can't be so bored. I don't want to stay outside for a while if my grandmother had to come back, I would have wanted to stay outside for more days."

The prince blamed him: "Not only the emperor's grandmother, the father, the queen, Concubine Ning, and our brothers all want you to come back soon."

The eldest prince glanced at Fan Xian with a slanted look and said, "I'm afraid some people don't want me to come back soon."

Seeing that his face was unhappy, the prince asked clearly what was going on, but he couldn't help laughing. The laughter was a bit strange. The ministers didn't know what the prince was playing with. The prince waved his hand gently, ordered Fan Xian to come over, and asked, "Is it you who fought with the Lord? Do you know that this is a serious crime?"

Fan Xian smiled and explained: "I don't have the courage. His Highness, the Grand Princess of Northern Qi, has been coming all the way, and there is some cold wind on the way. I really can't help but wait outside the city."

The prince took a slight head and walked to the carriage with his hands in the eldest brother, greeting him softly. Then he turned around and smiled at the eldest brother and said, "Don't bother with these ministers. Besides, you have not been in the capital for the past two years, and I don't know what happened. I don't think I know Fan Xian. Come on, I will introduce you to you."

Fan Xian and the prince had never met much, but when they saw the prince's gentle expression, they knew that the other party was going to show their close friendship with him in front of the officials, so they walked forward with a smile on their faces and bowed to the eldest prince: "I am the Imperial Academy, Fan Xian, and I have met His Highness."

"You are the fourth-rank resident of the Central Army." The prince blamed: "Why did you forget your official position?"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am really confused about going north and south along the way. Please forgive me for your crime."

The prince whispered to the eldest prince: "Fan Xian is now helping the dean."

"I know this. The Supervisory Office has such a great power." The eldest prince sneered.

The prince smiled and smoothed out: "Forget it, even if you don't look at me, and you can't treat him with the anger. When you were a child, you and Chen Yatou were very good... After all, Fan Xian is also our brother-in-law, both of us are family, so where are you angry?"

The eldest prince snorted coldly, looking at Fan Xian with some restraint: "I am angry with this family. Chen'er is the treasure in the palm of his hand in the palace. He actually married such a sissy. He was annoyed! Less than half a year after he got married, he actually asked for an envoy to leave his newlywed wife in the mansion. He was so enthusiastic about wealth, how could Chen'er be a good match!"
