Chapter 103: Sorrowful Tears

In fact, at certain specific times, everyone will look back at their life, trace the past, and look forward to the future. This is what is called yesterday, today and tomorrow. However, under normal circumstances, this kind of work is often started after people are already tired of life, or they have achieved a certain set goal. The most common model is naturally an old man fishing next to the Wei River while sighing that life is like the flowing water under his feet and never returns.

Fan Xian is not Ku He. He has no hobby of fishing. He is still young, but his life has been repeated once more than other people in this world. If you think about it carefully, he should be a middle-aged man in his thirties and is about to know his destiny. He is just forced to stay in a beautiful fragrant skin. The word forced is a bit pretentious, let's not talk about it for now. But he will also reflect on it.

It was not that he hugged the beautiful woman and sighed that he did not work hard for the beautiful and just cause of mankind back then, but that he was looking for Qingming in a chaos, trying to find his firm and clear goals again, because now he is a little confused.

After his rebirth, he has always been a person with firm goals. On the cliff, he once made three great wishes to Uncle Wu Zhu based on the three representatives. To this day, the three great wishes have basically been realized, but few people are as lustful as Fan Xian, and there are still many women around him.

The foundation of the three great wishes is naturally to survive. For this goal, he has been working hard, tough and cold-blooded. Moreover, the hidden skills or attributes of the three great wishes are naturally the life ideal he told Fan Shangshu - a powerful minister.

Now in Qingguo and the world, Fan Xian Zhenzhen deserves the word "powerful minister". He travels everywhere, everyone respects and fears. However, once Zhenzhen does this, he will eventually become confused by the young man who knows the destiny. Is this really the life he wants?

He walked alone on the road leading to the Governor's Mansion in Huayuan, lowering his head, pretending to be like a philosopher, but behind him were several tiger guards. There were many spies from the inspector's office secretly protecting him on both sides of the street.

"Mr. Xiao Fan."

"Little Master."

"Sir, the Imperial Envoy."

"Mr. Tiss."

A series of names full of enthusiasm, flattery and slight fear of the taste sounded from beside him. Fan Xian was startled and looked up in shock, and found that he had walked into the Governor's Office of Jiangnan. The officials of Jiangnan Road were standing on both sides, looking at him with "feeling affectionate" eyes. The indescribable heat and tenderness seemed to follow his arrival, and suddenly there were countless horses that had eaten bad food. The farts were thunderous.

Fan Xian scratched his head subconsciously, not caring that this action lost its power, and laughed self-deprecatingly, expelling all the metaphysical things that had been around in his mind. Yes, life does require goals, but now he starts to doubt that life may be too early. Newton did not become a real charlatan until he got old. Xiao Ai's classmate gritted his teeth with Da Yitong for the rest of his life, but these two great men were after all, Hui Pu who washed away all the bad luck. What kind of thing is he?

After all, I am a plain person and must admit that I still enjoy the benefits of vanity, power, money and reputation.

While greeting the officials amiably, Fan Xian walked into the study of the Governor's Office, thinking that he was different from Ye Qingmei, so he should not shine the glory of idealism on his body.

In this world, no, in all worlds. Idealists are lonely and prone to death, but Fan Xian cannot accept these two things.

It would be better to be a powerful official honestly, he thought so in his heart.

However, when he walked to Xue Qing's study and lowered his head and chatted with Xue Qing for a long time, he began to laugh at himself again. Can powerful ministers do things that can be done just by wanting? It depends on whether Your Majesty allows you to do it. A foolish and incompetent emperor may be overshadowed by a powerful minister. But how could a person like Emperor Laozi give himself such a chance? He lived in his thirties, why is he still so naive and cute?

He stretched his waist, squinted his eyes and looked at Xue Qing, who was resting in the Grand Master's chair, cursed in his heart, and said, "Just let the Ministry of Revenue do such a matter of accounting checking. The inner treasury has always been under the supervision of the Supervisory Office... Why did he suddenly let the Censorate come to collect it? A few months ago, the censors were all imprisoned, so many people came from the Censorate Office to check the accounts? Even if there are enough people, those guys who only know how to read the scriptures will faint when they look at the numbers on the account. Lord Xue, you have to make a note of this matter... Jiangnan is so good, and there are some people, which is really a bit unbelievable."

Xue Qing smiled and cursed in his heart, thinking that the Ministry of Revenue was the one who opened the land, the Supervisory Office was the one who was in charge, and the Inner Trust was sitting under the butt, so what if you checked it? Kyoto had long had an objection to this matter. At this time, the Secretariat of the Sect had a new idea, but he was just afraid that you would steal all the things in the Inner Trust and sell them.

However, Fan Xian was in Jiangnan for a year and a half, and cooperated with Xue Qing very well. The two had a very tacit understanding. Xue Qing didn't know how much oil and water they had taken from him. This was not clear. After thinking about it, he said, "It's not impossible for someone to investigate, but you have a grudge with the Censorate. If you ask them to investigate, who knows whether they will avenge their private revenge."

These words can only be said privately by these senior officials.

"Can't you stop it anymore? Is that old man Shu Wu and Grand Secretary Hu free to do anything?" Anyway, there were no outsiders in the study, Fan Xian said annoyedly, but he knew in his heart that it was a letter sent by the subordinate Zhongshu in name, but it was actually the emperor's intention. After all, it was not a proper way to hold the inner treasury Supervision Office. He Zongwei brand sand was mixed in the Kyoto Supervision Office, but Pingping was so pressed that he didn't dare to breathe. This was to go to Jiangnan.

Fan Xian was wary of whether the emperor did not believe his explanation of the investment bank, or was still wary of his relationship with the people of Northern Qi. As for the smuggling, he didn't care much. The eldest princess had been away for more than ten years and had only earned a year of oil and water. She gave so many snowflakes to the treasury with her backhand, so the emperor would never be so stingy.

Looking at Fan Xian's unpleasant face, Xue Qing laughed twice and comforted, "Isn't it for the people in the court? What are you worried about? Even if you send an imperial envoy to investigate, who can find out what else you can do with your hand? Don't forget, you are also an imperial envoy."

Xue Qing flipped his hand, took advantage of the opportunity to hold the cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.

Fan Xian stared at his stable hand, and a thought flashed through his mind. Xue Qing knew a little about the smuggling, but he didn't know the inside story, so he seemed so calm. If he knew that he was secretly damaging the interests of Qingguo, he was afraid that the old boy would throw this cup of tea to the ground in shock.

He was about to pour some oil and add a little fire, but he saw Xue Qing put down the teacup and changed his face to a very serious look.

In officialdom, especially those who are local emperors like Xue Qing and princes like Fan Xian, basically put some important things in a hilarious way, so as not to make each other feel too disconnected and have a bad momentum of becoming cold. So, like Xue Qing's serious expression at this time, Fan Xian frowned when he saw it.

After Xue Qing was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke, "You are aware of the matter in Kyoto. Lord Xiao Fan, you are naturally better than me. I wonder what you think?"

What do you think? No, I have no idea about such a big thing. Fan Xian closed his mouth and said nothing, but just looked at Xue Qing’s beard with a smile, as if he was very appreciating. Anyway, he was not afraid of anyone except those great masters and the emperor, so he naturally dared to put on this clay sculpture.

Xue Qing coughed twice, looked at Fan Xian's appearance, knowing that he was too unreasonable to ask, and the other party's rogue was more skillful than him. He smiled self-deprecatingly, and after a moment of consideration, he said directly: "Let me say it clearly. Your Majesty... I'm going to depose the crown prince."

Fan Xian was stunned, as if he hadn't heard this sentence clearly. After a moment, he came to his senses, stood up suddenly, stared at Xue Qing's eyes, and hadn't spoken for a long time.

He was indeed shocked. It was not the deposed crown prince himself or the discussion with him, but the shock that Xue Qing dared to say in front of him, it must have been not his guess, but the emperor in the palace had already given him a lot of loyalty, and at the same time began to blow the wind around through him.

Is public opinion about to begin?

Xue Qing's fingers gently knocked on the table, looked at him and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Xiao Fan so surprised? Is this matter not what you expect?" He suddenly sighed, a hint of pity flashed between his eyebrows, and he said slowly: "Actually, I'm not afraid that you know. I have already submitted a memorial to persuade His Majesty to give up this idea, but it's not effective."

"You asked me to submit a memorandum too?" Fan Xian looked at him.

Xue Qingwei mocked, "Everyone knows what relationship you have with the prince. I am not so stupid."

After pausing for a moment, he whispered: "Your Majesty has settled, so we ministers have to do things according to the rules..." When he said this, Xue Qing paused again, as if he was very confused. The prince had gradually grown up in the past two years and had a strong sincerity, and he made great progress in all aspects. Why did Your Majesty suddenly abolish the crown prince? It was just that he vaguely guessed that there must be a problem within the royal family. In front of Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of the royal family, he would never tell the doubts.

Fan Xian thought for a while and asked, "How many people know about this?"

"There must be only you and I know about the land in Jiangnan." Xue Qing said: "But I believe that the governor of the seventh route has received the secret decree from His Majesty, it depends on when everyone will issue the decree."

Fan Xian sneered in his heart. The emperor was really cruel, and even a little confused. The prince performed well in one year. This time he went to Nanzhao, not only did nothing wrong, but he won praise from the court. I believe that the emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince, so it was too difficult to make excuses... He actually used the tactic of the local area to surround the central government.

However, although the Governor of the Seventh Routes speaks very powerfully, he is a minister after all. Who dares to take the lead in doing this? Even if it is ordered by His Majesty's secret order, the Seven Governors are not idiots. I believe that they will not believe that they will participate in the battle for the throne and will have any good end in the future.

Xue Qing seemed to see what was in his mind and said slowly: "I must be the first official to write a letter to advise Your Majesty to abolish the crown prince."

Fan Xian was stunned and looked at Xue Qing's eyes quietly. He knew that this person was the emperor's loyalty, but he did not expect that the other party would be so loyal.

"What's the reason?" He frowned and reminded the other party.

Xue Qing smiled slightly and looked at Fan Xian: "This is the reason why I invited the lord to come today... Your Majesty's meaning is very clear, and the eight places should be moving."

Fan Xian had already sat back on the chair at this time, and turned his head slightly to be ignorant. To depose the crown prince, he naturally had to take the lead with the eight departments of the Supervision Bureau. After all, the prince had many not very good-looking handles that fell into the hands of the inner court and the Supervision Bureau. In addition, the battle between the Jiangnan Ming family's lawsuit on the natural inheritance rights of the eldest son, no matter from which aspect of this matter - the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince, he should be the pawn.

His face was very calm, and he could not see the inner agitation. After a while, he said: "The place is the place, and Kyoto is Kyoto. If it were just these actions... the backlash in the court would be huge. Those senior ministers of the Secretariat of the Sect would not watch the prince Wuguo be deposed."

What he said was the fact that the civil officials were devoted to the country and sought stability. Of course, they would strongly oppose the emperor's seemingly absurd move, but they were afraid that there would be many sounds of sticks in the court.

"Especially, the Supervision Bureau cannot come forward." Fan Xian lowered his head and said, "It is not convenient for me to come forward. The Supervision Bureau is a spy agency. I have always been disagreement with the prince. Some words come out of my mouth... will only have the opposite effect."

"Your words make sense, I will report to Your Majesty." Xue Qing thought for a while and said, "There is something that Your Majesty asked me to inform you. In a few more days, Your Majesty will go to sacrifice to the heavens."

Fan Xian was surprised again today, frowned for a long time before he slowly tasted the taste. Although the way of ghosts and gods in Qing Kingdom could not be prevalent, it was not as deep as the Tianyi Dao in Northern Qi, he still admired the illusory temple. If the emperor could really create a revelation...

The public opinion offensive against the prince was in front, and the Governor of the Seven Roads wrote a letter to the back, and then some ministers came out to accuse the prince of being unethical and unable to bear the inheritance of the country. In the end, the emperor was in a dilemma and went to the temple to sacrifice to the heavens, inheriting the order of heaven, and abolishing the crown prince.

Well, what absurd drama, what a boring trick.

Fan Xian shook his head and asked, "When?"
