Chapter 18: The old accident in the city gate is not an old friend

The newspaper of Dibao said clearly that the position of the commander of the Kyoto Imperial Army was no longer the eldest prince, but was handed over to Gong Dian. After quelling the rebellion in Kyoto, Gong Dian picked up the old duties of the commander of the Great Inner Guards, and now he is also the commander of the Imperial Army. It is not surprising that the Ye family's loyalty to His Majesty is known to the world. The palace is no longer the eldest prince is responsible for security, so of course it can only be handed over to Gong Dian.

But the question now is, after the eldest prince no longer serves as the commander of the imperial guards, where will His Majesty put him? The diary did not say it, and there was no clear news in Kyoto. Fan Xian looked at the paper in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head.

Several very important personnel appointments were issued in Kyoto. These appointments were concentrated in the military. It was obvious that His Majesty had any ideas and began to move his position for His Highness. What Fan Xian noticed most was that the commander of the Kyoto garrison Xiao Jinhua was removed from office and transferred to the Nanzhao border army as deputy governor, while Shi Fei, the commander of the commander of the North Camp, was recalled by His Majesty and took over the position of the very important commander of the Kyoto garrison, while Wang Zhikun, the governor of the Yanjing camp above Shi Fei, remained still.

The three military generals were mobilized, which was absolutely unusual. Fan Xian knew very well the roles played by these military generals and deeply understood His Majesty's different attitudes towards these people. For example, when the Kyoto garrison commander Xiao Jinhua was only the commander of the Donghuamen of the Thirteen Cities Division when he was rebelling in Kyoto. Because of his stable position, he blocked the remaining soldiers of the Qin family belonging to the crown prince in Kyoto and made great contributions. His Majesty would have promoted him to three levels in a row and become the commander of the Kyoto garrison commander. This is also a statement from His Majesty to loyal ministers.

But Fan Xian had long guessed that His Majesty would not have this little character named Xiao Jinhua served as the commander of the Kyoto garrison for too long. On the one hand, this person's foundation is too shallow to convince the public and difficult to assume such an important responsibility of the Kyoto garrison. Secondly, Xiao Jinhua was born in the Thirteen City Gate Division after all, and His Majesty was the most disappointed about the Thirteen City Gate Division's performance in the Kyoto rebellion.

The emperor trusted Zhang Deqing the most, and Zhang Deqing turned to the eldest princess. Although the emperor killed Zhang Deqing and the three tribes afterwards, he still did not vent his anger. Xiao Jinhua was also affected by the fish. However, this person must have known his symbolic role. He should be able to accept it when he was appointed as the deputy governor of Nanzhao.

The situation of the military and local areas in the Northern Expedition was relatively complicated. Yan Xiaoyi was killed by Fan Xian on the top of the mountain. The Qingguo Camp in the Northern Expedition of the Northern Expedition next to Cangzhou was involved in the plot of rebellion. In the past two years, he had not received many purges. The court never allowed General Shi Fei to officially take over as the governor of the Northern Expedition, but only let him know the power and be under the jurisdiction of Wang Zhikun, the Yanjing Camp.

General Shi Fei has been Wang Zhikun's deputy general for more than ten years, so there should be no problem with this arrangement. But now that His Majesty has asked Shi Fei to return to Beijing to take over as the commander of the Kyoto Garrison Division, the position of the Grand Governor of the North Camp has been vacant. Who is this for?

Fan Xian shook his head, thinking that everyone could see clearly. The position of the Great Commander of the North, which was at the forefront of the world, was of course left to His Highness.

It seems that after two years of rest, His Majesty the Emperor finally began to lay down his chess pieces step by step. Especially in the past two months, the Supervision Bureau and the Dingzhou Army forcibly stabilized the situation in Xiliang and the grasslands. His Majesty the Emperor finally had the time to prepare for everything in the northeast direction.

However, if His Highness wants to become the vanguard commander of the Qing army, the 100,000 troops on the front line, and the governor of the Northern Expedition to the powerful side, then he must accept His Majesty the Emperor's arrangement - to accept the concubines. When the day of sending troops is sent, the time when the princess comes to the court.

"The boss is not such a person." Fan Xian frowned and thought. His Majesty has laid the foundation for the eldest prince to command the Qing army. All the roads to the battlefield are waiting for the eldest prince to understand his painstaking efforts and embark on this road. The problem is that although the eldest prince is a good-looking person, he is afraid that he will not be able to do such a thing.

When he thought of returning to the capital, he was forced to do such things under the oppression of His Majesty the Emperor. Fan Xian felt very upset and couldn't help but groan. Although this sound was so humming very low, it scared Deng Ziyue and Mu Feng'er beside him, and he didn't know what was going on.

"It's nothing, let's take a break quickly. I'll have to hurry up tomorrow." Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows and waved to the two of them. After thinking about it, he kept Deng Ziyue.

He looked at Deng Ziyue, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You have been stationed in the capital. Do you know what the people of Northern Qi think of Shi Fei?"

In the past two years, Shi Fei has been stationed in Cangzhou and led the Battle of the North to compete with a famous general Uesugi Hu. Although he suffered some small losses, he won in a hurry and made the situation very stable. Deng Ziyue thought about it and said, "General Shi Fei has been serving as the deputy governor of the King of the Yanjing camp in previous years. His reputation was not very prominent. It was only after he went to Battle of the North to compete with the North to compete with him two years ago that he gradually became known to the people of Qi. Although there was no major war in the north and south of Cangzhou in the past two years, he was still able to remain unhappy under the threat of Uesugi Hu. This alone at least proves that Shi Fei's temperament is more feminine and able to hold it."

"Female?" Fan Xian asked in disagreement: "If it were just for yin rubbing, how could His Majesty let him bear such a heavy burden two years ago?"

Deng Ziyue knew what Lord Tisi was talking about. In the late autumn of the seventh year of Qingli, the incident in Dadongshan broke out and Kyoto rebelled. Everyone seemed to have ignored the Beidaying abandoned by Yan Xiaoyi in Cangzhou, and did not expect the importance of it. But Fan Xian never forgot that when His Majesty the Emperor was still trapped on the Dongshan Mountain, he had secretly issued a secret order to go to Yanjing, so that the Yanjingying camp would be ready to take over the Beidaying in Cangzhou at any time, in order to prevent the Northern Qi people from entering in taking advantage of the chaos.

This is an extremely important task. Once Yan Xiaoyi died, thousands of personal soldiers were captured. If there was no capable general in charge, I was afraid that the Beidaying would really mutiny. The general in charge of His Majesty's extremely important decree was General Shi Fei.

Not many people know the specific process of how to subdue the morale of the Beidaying, but Fan Xian, who is the supervisory authority, knew that in his opinion, the process of Shi Fei's order to the Qing army was more like a legend.

General Shi Fei only brought more than a dozen personal soldiers to enter the Beidaying in Cangzhou. He held the imperial edict in his hand and easily controlled the Beidaying. Facing the 100,000 army, where did this general come from and what kind of ability does he have to make the Beidaying, which Yan Xiaoyi had been running for several years, as gentle as a war horse.

A person who can do such a big thing is definitely not just feminine. Fan Xian’s eyebrows are getting more and more painful, and he always feels that some shadows are shrouding in his mind. His Majesty the Emperor intends to let His Highness lead the troops to the north. This is expected, but a powerful person like Shi Fei is not staying on the front line, but is transferred back to Kyoto as the commander of the Kyoto garrison. Who is the target of?

As early as when the former crown prince was on his mission to Nanzhao, Fan Xian had inferred that once the power of the eldest princess melted like ice and snow, he would be greeted with the emperor's merciless deduction of power and the ruthless attack on the older generation of the imperial court. In the past two years, the Supervision Bureau has been deposed a lot, but fortunately, his majesty's favor for him has increased day by day, and no one in the court and the country dared to do anything to him. The elders who worried Fan Xian the most also gained the most valuable experience from the rebellion in Kyoto. Before His Majesty could take action, he automatically disappeared on the stage.

My father had already resigned from his position as Minister of Revenue and returned to Danzhou to retire. Although Chen Pingping was still the president of the Supervisory Office, she no longer took the matter and handed over all the affairs of the hospital to Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun, and had already made a request to resign to His Majesty. However, His Majesty was really pity for his affection with him. He insisted on not allowing it. Of course, among the older generation, the worst was the father-in-law from Wuzhou. In the fight against the rebellion in Kyoto, the former prime minister Lin Ruofu buried himself in the court and handed it to his good son-in-law. He thought he could make a comeback. But who could have expected that His Majesty the Emperor would return to the capital safely, and all this became a dreamlike bubble.

Not only a bubble, His Majesty the Emperor was deeply afraid of the innocence of the former Prime Minister. In the past two years, he had been punishing the disciples who had been aged for a long time. Although he did not use any evil means, he also completely eliminated Lin Ruofu's last strength in Kyoto.

Regarding this matter, Fan Xian had no room for speech. He could only watch all this with a wry smile. He watched his father-in-law panic in Wuzhou and was afraid, and secretly wrote to His Majesty. He apologized sincerely.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not continue to pursue Lin Ruofu for the sake of Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er.

Thinking of this, the three old guys that His Majesty the Emperor intended to clear were already consciously retreating to the back of the stage. The Qing Dynasty court was like an iron barrel. Shi Fei was transferred back to Kyoto. Why? Such a powerful figure did not stay in the war to unify the world, but was transferred back to His Majesty the Emperor. Who was it targeting?

Could it be myself? Fan Xian felt a little sad and no longer thought about these questions. He raised his head and whispered to Deng Ziyue: "Don't pay attention to Kyoto's affairs."

He paused and said, "No matter what you hear or know, don't worry... You must remember that you are an official of the Supervision Bureau and your majesty's minister. I will leave you in Xiliang now for the sake of the lives of the hundreds of millions of people in the country of Qing Dynasty. If you do this, everything will be fine."

The second person Deng Zi entered the Qi Nian group, he was personally arrested by Wang Qi Nian. Beyond the old leader, he was Fan Xian's number one confidant. In recent years, he has been serving as the chief of the Northern Qi Dynasty's general stationed in the Northern Qi Dynasty in recent years. He also knew that Lord Tisi was promoting himself and was not grateful. At this time, he heard Lord Tisi's words that were ominous, and he couldn't help but be speechless, with his eyes full of worry.

The Supervisory Office has served three consecutive times, including the General Leaders of the Northern Qi Spy Network, namely Yan Bingyun, Wang Qinian, and Deng Ziyue, are all Fan Xian’s most capable assistants. And if there is no accident like Wang Qinian, they will be the most cutting-edge officials of the Supervisory Office in the future.

Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue quietly: "The matter in Xiliang is very important. You have to deal with it well. After returning to Beijing, you can take care of the hosting locations in all directions. This is relatively simple to support the other seven major areas. But don't worry about the remaining jurisdictions for the time being, let Yan Bingyun lead them and understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Deng Ziyue nodded, "Thank you for your kindness."

"Don't let the Hu people step into my territory." Fan Xian stared at his eyes, "I have given up so many people and put you whom I trust the most for at least two years on this desert Xiliang Road. For why, you know, don't let me down."

Deng Ziyue felt so angry that he knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to my hopes."

Fan Xian nodded and said nothing more. Deng Ziyue was still filled with emotion. He had been following Lord Tisi for five years, but he had never seen the other party explain something so seriously. What made him feel even more astonished was that although Lord Fan was just a young man in his early twenties, he was so calm and stable when explaining things and doing things, he was like an old guy who had been ups and downs in the court for decades.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "About Songzhi Immortal Order..."

Songzhi Immortal Order is Haitang, and this news will always be spread slowly. But at least for now, except for Fan Xian, only Deng Ziyue knows this secret. After hearing this request, Fan Xian became silent and had not responded for a long time.

More than ten days later, the convoy of the imperial envoy Fan Xian arrived outside Kyoto. However, three days ago, Fan Xian gave an order. All the ceremonial guards and dazzling things were withdrawn. This trip was just a formality to inspect Xiliang under the order. The plan in the dark was the top priority. In addition, there were some minor troubles in Kyoto, Fan Xian did not want to be too arrogant, so the imperial envoy changed and became a convoy of the inspector's office.

There was naturally no problem with the pass-through documents of the Supervision Bureau. The officers and soldiers of the City Gate Division did not dare to provoke these old men. The convoy did not wait outside the West City Gate for long, so they walked into the city gate. Fan Xian lifted up a corner of the curtain of the car window and looked out subconsciously, and couldn't help but think of the first time when he entered Beijing, he once glanced at Ye Ling'er in the horse.

Ye Ling'er should have arrived in Dingzhou now. Wang Shisanlang must come to Fan's mansion to report before the New Year. But I don't know if she will follow her. A hint of comforting smile appeared on Fan Xian's face, recalling the heavy spring season that year. The woman was wearing a light-colored skirt, a white deerskin hat, with eyebrows as far as the mountains, and her eyes were clear...

Suddenly, a gray shadow rushed over from the convoy and almost wiped the carriage that Fan Xian was riding. The shadow was extremely fast and almost shocked the horses of the inspector's convoy. The situation was very thrilling.

The swordsmen from the Sixth Department of the Supervision Bureau subconsciously held the handle of the iron chisel and were ready to take action at any time.

However, Fan Xian had already seen the gray shadow clearly. He shook his head. It was just a little girl riding a horse. Why should he be so nervous? It was just that the little girl riding a horse rushed to the ground so fast that she didn't care about the safety of the common vegetable farmers waiting at the city gate, which made Fan Xian frown.

Then he should be the lady from a powerful family immediately, otherwise he would not be so arrogant. Fan Xian stuck his head out of the window, squinted his eyes at the woman rushing into the city gate, looked at the team that was frightened by her horse, and an old farmer who fell to the ground in fright, and his mood became worse.

There are many reasons why he was in a bad mood, but one of the most important ones was that the powerful lady was wearing a skirt on her horse. Like Ye Ling'er, she actually wore a white deer-skin hat on her head, or... like Ye Ling'er.

"Whose lady is this? She is acting so unbearable." Fan Xian asked Mu Feng'er next to the car. Mu Feng'er's family was working in the same place in Kyoto, and she knew very well about the staff of the Kyoto powerful family. But today Mu Feng'er looked at the horse that disappeared from afar and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

However, there was a member of Qi Nian's group who went out of the city to greet him next to him, whispering: "It should be the lady of the Wang family."

"Wang Family?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that besides the daughter of the Wang Zhikun family, the entire Kyoto, there is another Wang family in Kyoto who dares to be so arrogant. Two years have passed since the rebellion in Kyoto. The Yanjing camp performed particularly well in the fight against the rebellion. Not only did he clear the entire Dongshan Road for His Majesty, but he also controlled Yan Xiaoyi's Battlegrounds. Now that Wang Zhikun is far away in Yanjing, Shi Fei has been transferred back to Kyoto, which is the so-called Yanjing faction in the army, and it is the time when the holy family is grand.

"It is the lady of Governor Wang's family. It is said that the Governor Wang is grateful for the holy grace and has the old house in Kyoto, so he asked this lady to return to Kyoto... The current Kyoto garrison commander Shi Fei is a subordinate of Governor Wang in previous years. This Miss Wang is called uncle. This Miss Wang is said to love the style of Miss Ye in Kyoto that year, so... "The members of the Qi Nian team explained something in a low voice. An excellent subordinate always analyzes the situation for his superiors to avoid unnecessary problems.

"Want to learn from Ye Ling'er?" Fan Xian's smile on the corner of his lips was a little weird. "When I saw Ye Ling'er outside the city gate, the people of Kyoto would automatically give way to her. I have never seen my apprentice whip and drive people away..."
