Chapter 142 I watch the hearts of the people upstairs
Chapter 142: I watched the people's hearts from the upstairs
"River water? The Yellow River is flooding?"
"Get up, now you are the real master of the Ming family, so you don't have to be so careless in front of me."
Fan Xian looked at Ming Qingda with interesting eyes, then picked up the bowl of noodles and snorted.
Ming Qingda secretly came to Xinfeng Pavilion today, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, being extremely careful, and feeling a little nervous. After all, there was an atmosphere of grief and anger in Suzhou at this time. Tens of thousands of people in the Ming family were watching him as the head of the family. If someone knew that he had come to see the imperial envoy secretly, I was afraid that he, the patriarch, could not continue.
But the problem is that when I met today, Mission Fan refused to say something clear, which made Ming Qingda feel a little strange in his heart.
Fan Xian put down the bowl, thought for a while, and said, "Don't say anything else for now. I'll just ask you, you promised to me Mr. Zhou, where are you now?"
Ming Qingda felt the chill and forced in the words of the imperial envoy, subconsciously lowered his head and defended himself: "That person... Qingda failed to control him and let him leave the garden. This was Qingda's mistake. Please punish him."
"Punishment?" Fan Xian laughed at himself: "You have done this now, how can I punish you?"
Ming Qingda sighed and said, "Sir, do you still don't believe in my sincerity at this time?"
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "Last time in the Neiku Mansion, I once said that I should hold a bowl and spit out beads, and I should nod my head when I lower the chopsticks. I should eat 80% full, and I will take it away if I can't finish it... Being a person and doing things is the same as eating, with a beautiful posture and knowing how to judge."
He stared at Ming Qingda's eyes: "In your agreement, you sold someone to me and responded in a central manner, but it did not involve the following content... You did this by yourself without informing me of this matter. The current situation is very embarrassing to me."
Ming Qingda was silent for a while and said softly: "It has come to this point. In order to prevent the Ming family from turning into smoke and clouds in my hands, some people who are blocking the front must rest. I believe you can understand it too."
"Understanding is one thing, you do this without my permission, that is another thing." Fan Xian scolded: "Don't think that you can cover up this matter by seconding my subordinates into the garden and taking advantage of the situation. You must know that I have paid too much in this matter. Now the whole of Jiangnan is staring at me... Think about it yourself. How to make this matter come back."
Ming Qingda was silent and said after a moment: "This is Qingda's fault, I will find a way."
Fan Xian nodded, but in fact he didn't really believe in the cruel and ruthless old fox in front of him.
Ming Qingda saw the face of the imperial envoy's expression slightly cleared, and then he plucked up his courage and said, "Sir... Someone gathered in Mingyuan to besiege the officials of the Supervision Bureau. Always check this matter."
Fan Xian couldn't help laughing as he heard this. Mr. Ming was not only cruel. His face was as thick as his own. He sighed and said, "If outsiders listened to this, I don't know what to scare him. The head of the Ming family actually instigated the Supervisory Office to investigate Mingyuan."
Ming Qingda smiled and said, "If it is not like this, how can you make the adult believe in Qingda's heart?"
"Don't worry." Fan Xian calmed down, "My identity and status are different from yours. You can't give it to me that Mr. Zhou Di. But I will do what I promise you. I will handle it. Don't worry too much."
"But..." He stared at Ming Qingda's eyes and forced him to say, "It was the same thing he said before. This time you mistook me for me. Now all the people in Jiangnan want to eat my flesh. You always have to find a way to deal with this matter. Otherwise, you will also know the consequences."
Ming Qingda bowed sincerely to answer the order. He asked quietly, "Where is the fourth brother?"
Fan Xian was silent and did not answer his words.
Ming Qingda sighed in his heart. He knew that the imperial envoy always had to leave a few more handles in his hand so that he could sit in the position of the head of the Mingyuan family with confidence. Regarding the robbery of the Fourth Master of Ming, the Supervision Bureau held a witness and could throw it out at any time and beat him to death.
Fan Xian looked at him with a smile, thinking how could a chess piece like Ming Si Master be taken out now? If the robbery of prison is not investigated, then the Fourth Master Ming is useless. If the pursuing of the earth, the Fourth Master Ming is just a word of death. Isn’t it a pity to die like this?
"Your family is still excited now. Don't worry about cleaning up the old lady's confidant." Fan Xian reminded, and suddenly laughed: "You are better than me in this kind of thing, and I'm a little unnecessary."
Ming Qingda quickly said respectfully: "It depends on the imperial envoy's guidance all the way."
"Don't interfere." Fan Xian raised his lips and stopped him, "The last powerful means are not something that I can think of."
"Also." Fan Xian said softly: "After things fade, please make arrangements for Xia Qifei's recognizing his ancestors."
Ming Qingda suddenly looked up and looked at Fan Xian with his eyes mixed with complex emotions in his calmness. After a while, he said quietly: "Sir, I still can't believe it."
"Say less such high-sounding words." Fan Xian said: "You know, I know too. If you can't trust me, I will naturally trust you. Xia Qifei is the one I really believe in. If he doesn't go to Mingyuan to discuss matters in one day, your agreement will not be concluded."
Ming Qingda's forehead wrinkles seemed deeper and deeper. He took a deep breath and said, "Qingcheng had a gap with me when he was young, but I was afraid he hated me to the core. As the emperor ordered me to give in, but the old lady was newly mourned... It was the time when the crowd was excited. Everyone knew that Qingcheng was the confidant of the adults. I was afraid that I could not suppress the rebound of tens of thousands of people in the clan."
Fan Xian shook his head and said directly: "When is it? All the people in Jiangnan hate me. Do you think I still care about the rebound of tens of thousands of people in your clan? This situation was caused by you, and you naturally have to settle the rebound of the rebound of the people in the clan. I only ask for the result. As for the process, it is something you should worry about."
Ming Qingda's face looked slightly dark and said, "This matter is really difficult."
"There is nothing to be embarrassed." Fan Xian mocked him, "Your methods. I have always admired him. Since the old lady has been buried, the Supervisory Office is not qualified to check anything. However, I have always sent people to stare at the ground in the grave. It is better for you to make things difficult for me than for me. If I really make things difficult for me to bear, I should make things difficult for me forever."
The Supervision Bureau has already taken enough measures to deal with Ming Qingda. If Ming Qingda has a different intention again, before Fan Xian’s life is over, Ming Qingda will definitely be the character who will be cut into pieces first. At this point, Ming Qingda naturally knew that although his careful planning had put himself in the position of the real head of the Ming family, he also sat on the volcano. Especially in the end, the Emperor's move that made the Supervision Bureau unable to threaten the Ming family anymore, it really angered Fan Xian.
Fan Xian tore off his face and began to threaten nakedly.
Ming Qingda knew that he had to accept this naked threat. He had done so many rebellious things, but he didn't expect that in the end he would get all the benefits. He raised his head angrily and looked at the imperial envoy and said, "Sir, it's so scheming."
Fan Xian was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Mr. Ming likes to plot against others, but now he thinks he is plotting against me. He feels naturally uncomfortable, but don't take me too seriously. I really don't have any talent in this regard."
His voice became cold: "If you have no desires, you will be strong. Old Master Ming asked for too many things, so he will naturally give me too many opportunities. As for calculations, I always think that conspiracy is not as terrible as being directly and terrible as power. After all, it will cost Qingqing's life... Old Master Ming, please be more honest and sincere in the future."
Ming Qingda became silent.
"You go back first, there are still many things that you need to deal with, such as the grievances of the people in the clan towards the official, you need to appease them." Fan Xian said with a smile: "If you have any arrangements in the future, I will send someone to notify you."
He thought for a while and finally reminded: "I know you are very afraid of the Junshan Club... But don't break up with the other party for the time being. I need your Ming family to still have a place in the Junshan Club."
Ming Qingda knew that there was nothing else to do at this time, so he could only respond like this for the time being. He stood up and walked downstairs, but his back was slightly hunched over and his old look appeared.
After Ming Qingda left, Deng Ziyue, the leader of the Qi Nian group of the Supervision Bureau, flashed out from behind the curtain. The shock on his face could not be concealed. Until today, he realized that Lord Tisi actually had so many secret agreements with the owner of the Ming family in private!
As Fan Xiandi ordered, Deng Ziyue opened his mouth wide and stayed for a long time before he organized his words: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."
Fan Xian couldn't help but shook his head: "What's unexpected? Ming Qingda is a smart man. He knows that this is what the court means. He doesn't expect to fight against the court at all. He just hopes to use a more peaceful method to save some livelihoods for tens of thousands of people in the Ming family... And at this point, he has a gap that cannot be filled with his mother. In this case, if he doesn't come to find his own official, who can he find?"
"Of course, I still underestimate him." Fan Xian sighed, "I didn't expect that he would play like this in the end. As a result, the people in Jiangnan stared at us, and Xue Qing was also shocked. Regardless of the tendency of the government and the opposition, we could not continue to force the Ming family."
"On the one hand, they colluded with the government and settled the position of the Ming family as the master, and on the other hand, they secretly used ruthless measures to incite the emotions of the people in the world and protect the temporary interests of the Ming family. This Ming Qingda did not disappoint me."
"It's just... he didn't calculate a little - he used me, and I also used him. The problem is that I have much more confidence than him, so in the end, he can only use it for me."
"Everyone has calculated a little bit wrong." Fan Xian explained seriously: "Including the words I talk to Xue Qing, they are actually scaring him... You all think I can wipe out the Ming family at any time, but this is something that I can't do at all, so I need to use Ming Qingda."
Deng Ziyue looked at the thoughtful Lord Tiss in surprise.
Fan Xian closed his eyes, then opened it again, and slowly said, "What can I do if the Ming family really resists? I really transfer the black cavalry into Suzhou slaughter garden? Not bad, I killed the sixth house of the Ming family, and the blood flowed into a river and corpses were everywhere. But... what benefits does this do me?"
He smiled and shook his head: "After a period of purging, relying on the power of the court, An Mingyuan has a rebellious hat. In less than half a year, the entire Jiangnan can be silent, and no one dares to say anything. The court successfully took over the huge real estate of the Ming family, and everything is like His Majesty's plan."
His face turned cold: "But, what good is this for me?"
Deng Ziyue was silent. Lord Tisi repeated twice "What are the benefits for him?" and subconsciously opposed himself to His Majesty's plan, which made him feel a little cold, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
He understood that if Mingyuan was really slaughtered and such a terrifying storm occurred, even though His Majesty would have admitted it, in order to appease the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, the Supervision Bureau would have been severely punished, and Lord Tisi had no good results.
He did things for the court and took over the Ming family in the treasury, but had to pay his own fundamental interests... Fan Xian would not do such stupid things.
"This is why I had to look for Xia Qifei at the beginning, and then I found the fourth son of Ming. Finally, I found Ming Qingda." Fan Xian explained in a harmonious voice: "The situation in Jiangnan seems chaotic, but in fact it is clear and ruthless. Xue Qing was his Majesty's confidant watching, and I could only stir the water more muddy."
"Shouming's family. You can only collect it peacefully..." Fan Xian lowered his eyes slightly, "It's so hard that His Majesty will throw me out at any time. You should understand this."
Deng Ziyue felt cold, and he became less and less sure that Lord Tisi had to speak to His Majesty in front of him. He didn't understand why Lord Tisi wanted to tell him these taboo things. Is this a test of himself?
"Old Mrs. Ming has always been an important figure in Junshan Club." Fan Xian continued: "When she was in power for one day, the Ming family could not be taken down peacefully by me. So her death caused me some trouble, but overall... I am willing to accept this result."
Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue's eyes and said softly: "You have been following me all the time, of course I know... it's not easy for me."
Deng Ziyue sighed in his heart, bowing speechlessly.
Fan Xian walked to the railing on the top floor of Xinfeng Pavilion, squinted his eyes, looked at the crowd of mourning people in the street downstairs, and the incense shop in the distance. He knew that the whole of Suzhou was busy with the dead old woman. I don’t know how many powerful figures have gathered here, waiting to go to the mourning hall to worship.
Deng Ziyue followed him. Looking at the scene below, sighed and said, "There are too many ways to deal with the Ming family. Now this situation... seems not the best."
Fan Xian replied calmly: "So, Ming Qingda's last move made me humble... Let's find it back in the future."
Today, in Jiangnan, the old lady of the Ming family died strangely. Ming Qingda secretly defected to Fan Xian. The Ming family and Xinyang may have guaranteed anything on the surface, but the secret is very different from previous years. Fan Xian is in Jiangnan, with one hand in hand, and the smuggling business in the inner warehouse must be done with great fanfare. Without the constraints of the Ming family, it will be much smoother.
In the final analysis, the price paid by Fan Xian was just the word "illusory reputation" - and in his opinion, if the old lady Ming was forced to death, the people's hearts were slightly confused, His Majesty would definitely find some reason to scold him, but he was very happy to take this kind of self-destruction.
In fact, there are many inside stories that affect Fan Xian’s decision. He did not tell Deng Ziyue. For example, why can’t the black cavalry be transferred, and why would he be afraid of the emperor and throw him out.
Fan Xian knew very well that it was an anomaly that such a young powerful minister in the world now appeared in the world, and had such great power. Although the emperor still believed in himself very much, who knew when the emperor would suddenly change his mind? Judging from the emperor's actions over the years, he was a suspicious person, so he had been watching himself strictly and preventing his relationship with the military.
Moving the black cavalry into the state? Fan Xian laughed at himself and thought it would be known that once such a powerful killing method was used, how many people would be scared.
The recent storm between the Ministry of Revenue in the Central Beijing made Fan Xian clearly see that before the emperor made up his mind to eliminate the power of the eldest princess, the emperor had already begun to be alert to the existence of the old Fan family. In Kyoto, His Majesty did not successfully force his father to step down through the Ministry of Revenue deficit. Who knows if the Ming family affairs get into trouble, will they cut off their authority?
The word power seems simple, but it is like a drug. After eating, it is difficult to get rid of it. Although Fan Xian is sober, he is reluctant to reduce the power in his hands. On the one hand, he is used to the benefits of power. On the other hand, in order to protect himself and protect others, he needs the power in his hands.
Retreat as advance, let your reputation be damaged first.
Deng Ziyue followed him and said in a low voice: "The situation has been a little nervous recently. According to the opinions of Director Ba, Lord Tisi may be able to go and watch a few incense sticks."
As the identity of the Emperor Fan Xian, I would like to sacrifice to the old lady Ming, which would obviously ease the current situation.
But... Fan Xian just shook his head coldly and said, "No need."
Deng Ziyue was slightly stunned, not understanding why this was.
