Chapter 127 Commoner's Single Sword Toward the Son of Heaven (1)
Chapter 127: The common man's single sword towards the emperor (I)
When the winter snow falls on the bluestone floor, it melts rapidly and is extremely difficult to accumulate. The snowflakes falling on the bright yellow glazed tiles are condensed by the cold wind, and look like countless broken clouds waiting quietly in the golden sunshine.
Fan Xian withdrew his greedy gaze, followed Eunuch Yao with his hands in his arms, quietly walked around the quiet and revolving palace walls, and surrounded by the vermilion blood, towards the depths of the palace. Behind them, more than a dozen guards followed carefully. At this time, Fan Xian was not tied up, and the decree had already established the name of a traitor. The guards were very worried that if Lord Fan suddenly attacked the forbidden palace, what ability would he have to stop him?
But it is obvious that many officials died in Kyoto today. Fan Xian even ordered the world to shock the world to kill the Grand Secretary of the Secretariat in public. However, he was not interested in fighting in the palace. Perhaps he knew that there were endless masters in this seemingly quiet palace, or perhaps because he knew that the emperor in the palace was a mountain, and before the mountain fell, there was no point in making trouble in the palace.
A corner of the eaves of the Tai Chi Hall moved with people's pace on the high palace wall. After walking past a small door and passing a snow-covered wintersweet, a group of silent people came to the imperial study.
Fan Xian was waiting quietly outside the study room. Eunuch Yao looked at him with a complicated expression. Hong Zhu, who was standing in front of the door of the imperial study room, whispered a few words, with a slightly different expression. He turned back and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the small building."
"Xiaolou?" Fan Xian was slightly stunned, his eyes did not fall on Hong Zhu's face, nor did he take the risk of asking with his eyes before everyone else. Instead, he smiled reluctantly and said, "Then go."
Eunuch Yao waved his hand and blocked the dozen inner court guards outside the round stone arch. He took Fan Xian into the harem alone. Behind them, the guards could not hide the tension and suspicion on their faces, and Hong Zhu, who had been standing honestly at the door of the imperial study room... Looking at the back of Lord Fan who was walking into the deep palace, an uncontrollable sadness suddenly surged in his eyes. He quickly lowered his head, for fear that others would see something strange, but when he lowered his head, it seemed like he was seeing Fan Xian off.
The inner palace behind the snow was very quiet. Occasionally, you could hear a few laughs from the deep palaces everywhere. Fan Xian had good ears and could even hear the sound of mahjongzi falling from somewhere. He couldn't help laughing, thinking that the things in Kyoto today must have not been reported to the palace. Everyone was quite happy, but the palace did not seem to be so lively in the past. I think those beautiful girls who have been in the palace for several months, and now the concubines, are really young, diluting loneliness.
Fan Xian likes this so as not to be cold and gloomy in this palace.
The palace was very familiar to him, just as well as the family. His Majesty the Emperor was waiting for him in the small building, so he naturally knew the way. He still carried his hands like a Confucian scholar, heading towards the northwest corner of the palace without any haste. However, Eunuch Yao fell behind him.
It's already this time. No matter how anxious it is, it's useless. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will not be in a hurry either. It just so happens that the palace is big and the air is cold. There is already snow on the rockery of the Winter Tree Lake, which is much more beautiful than the winter scenery in the palace. Fan Xian can take a look at it more, but he walked step by step steadily, and fell behind Eunuch Yao's eyesight. But there is some other smell.
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the palace maid who was walking over with anger. He didn't move.
Eunuch Yao's heart was terrified. He had been with His Majesty these days and had not taken care of the affairs in the harem. He really didn't expect that the servants around Concubine Mei would be so domineering.
With a crisp slap, Eunuch Yao piao piao in front of him and slapped the palace maid to the ground. Then he quickly retreated behind Fan Xian, lowered his voice and said humbly: "Mr. Little Fan, Your Majesty is still waiting for you."
Fan Xian smiled and looked at him, saying, "What are you doing so nervous? I'm afraid I will kill her?"
Eunuch Yao smiled silly and said nothing. He thought that when you adjust your breathing step by step, the murderous intent in your body has reached its peak, and there is no trace of leakage in your body. If you really encounter an introduction, not everyone can stand the random anger of these powerful people in the ninth grade.
The palace maid was slapped to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The air in the pavilion seemed to be condensed. Concubine Mei looked at the scene in a daze. She was so angry that she was a little confused. She couldn't understand why Eunuch Yao, the leader of the inner court, did this. Who was this young man? He dared not to kowtow to him, and dared to stare at him so rudely!
Only the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving beside him heard clearly that Eunuch Yao deliberately pointed out his identity with dialogue. They finally knew that the young scholar who entered the palace was the only one who had never forgotten to remind the seniors in the palace. They immediately lowered their heads nervously and did not dare to look directly at each other.
Fan Xian looked at Mei Fei with an angry face in a calm face, paused for a moment and said, "It's cold and cold, so it's better to go back to the palace. Playing mahjong is good. It's cold here, which is not good for the children in the belly... Don't think that His Majesty will think you are three points taller when he sees you in the snow pavilion, and don't expect him to love you more. Living in this palace is actually very simple, just be honest."
His eyes fell on Mei Fei's belly again, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, thinking that the time was short, why did he show his feelings? It seems that the emperor is indeed very strong in any aspect, but he just doesn't know that the one in this belly would be another younger brother or sister.
"I hope you can give birth to a sister for me. I don't have a sister yet." Fan Xian blessed Concubine Mei very seriously and sincerely, then walked around the people under the snow pavilion, walked up to the wooden stack on the other side of the lake, and headed towards the northwest corner of the palace.
Concubine Mei made herself unable to cry with great difficulty, and her anger and helplessness accumulated in her heart. She subconsciously looked back at Fan Xian's back and couldn't help but shivered. After all, she was just a 15 or 16-year-old girl's home. After hearing the other person's identity from the last sentence, she was a little scared involuntarily. Since she got pregnant with His Majesty's dragon seed, she was proud and afraid on the other hand, because she knew what the child in her belly was to the person in Shufang Palace and to the "foreign minister" named Fan.
She didn't think Fan Xian's last words were a blessing. She only listened to this sentence as a warning, but she didn't expect that Fan Xian sincerely hoped that she could give birth to a princess. After all, if she gave birth to a prince, I'm afraid that the rest of her life would fall into the dark struggle and would never rise up again.
Fei Mei looked at the back that disappeared into Xiaoxue with a slight fear. The fear in her eyes gradually turned into unwillingness and resentment.
Emperor Qing was not in the small building. He was staring at the small building in front of the large abandoned palace in the northwest corner of the palace. The palaces here are sparse, and the winter garden is quiet and there are rockery, but they have long been ruined. It seems that they have not been repaired for many years, and it is even colder than the cold palace on the other side.
In front of a deserted grass, Eunuch Yao quietly retreated. Fan Xian looked at the bright yellow figure between the building and the grass, walked quietly, slightly behind. Just like when he was on the seaside in Danzhou, he accompanied him to look at the building silently.
The emperor and his ministers and father were not too silent. The emperor put his hands behind him and looked at the small building quietly, opened his thin lips slightly, and asked calmly: "Have you met Concubine Mei before?"
"Yes." Fan Xian also put his hands behind him. Hearing His Majesty's question, he responded calmly.
"Do you think the man or woman in her belly?" asked the emperor. The feeling between the scene was very strange at this time. The father and son had been in a cold war for several months, and there were countless people in the world because of the cold war between them. They were just born to meet today, but there was no anger and reprimand as expected by outsiders. They were just chatting casually.
"It should be a princess."
"Oh? I have always known that you are good at learning the world. But I don't know that you can do these things from my mother-in-law and mother." The emperor said sarcastically with his lips slightly raised.
"It's not easy to learn from the world, but I still have some understanding of medical skills. The most important thing is that the one in Concubine Mei's womb can only be a princess." Fan Xian responded respectfully.
"Well..." The emperor's brows gradually frowned and said coldly: "In your opinion, I can't raise a guy who is more angry than the third brother?"
"No." Fan Xian responded simply: "Because Concubine Mei is not as good as Concubine Yi."
The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "This is reasonable, but the Tian family's bloodline is thin, so it's always good to have one more prince."
"If Your Majesty gives mercy, it will be good for many princes in Daqing in the future." Fan Xian did not explicitly say what mercy is, but lowered his eyes slightly. He said directly: "Otherwise, if there is a little Cheng Qian and Cheng Ze comes, it would be meaningless."
As soon as this statement came out, the emperor's face slowly subsided. Fan Xian mentioned the second prince of the crown prince. Although he controlled the miserable ending of these two princes, it has to be said that His Majesty the Emperor had actually taken an overly cold-blooded and wrong path. Regarding this, if the emperor, who was gradually aging, had no feelings in his heart, it would be absolutely false.
Fan Xian stood behind the figure of Emperor Xiao Suo, calmly paying attention to every subtle change of His Majesty, and found the hidden pain in the other party's heart. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No one in this world is a real god. Even if he is as powerful as the other party, after walking off the dragon throne, he gradually walked on the road of an ordinary old man.
The changes in Emperor Qing’s years have been in Fan Xiandi’s eyes. It is precisely because he knows this that he has the courage to come to the palace and say these words to the other party today.
These words are like a knife, cutting the emperor's heart, and then His Majesty is not He Zongwei after all. After a moment, the emperor's face turned into a cliff of the East Mountain that has remained unchanged for eternity. It looks as gentle as jade, but in fact it is rugged and sharp, and he disdains the storm.
"Is He Zongwei dead?" the emperor asked slowly.
"Yes, your Majesty."
"You have been thinking hard in the mansion for seven days and seven nights. I was thinking about what methods you could come up with to move me, but I didn't expect that it was still so nonsense after all." The emperor shook his head and said sarcastically: "You really disappointed me."
Fan Xian smiled ashamed and replied: "Your Majesty is like an East Mountain, and there is no hindrance for thousands of years. After all, I am just an ordinary person. No matter how much I think about it, I cannot come up with a means of making something out of nothing. After all, people's imagination is limited. Things in the world do not exist, and no matter how much I think about it, I can't think of it."
This sentence is very sincere, and it is indeed Fan Xian's heartfelt words. Facing a person like His Majesty, who is extremely talented and powerful, it is not easy to find a way to defeat the other party? It is indeed a possibility that does not exist in this world...
"I thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of any solution, so I finally figured it out. Maybe I was immersed in the Supervisory Office since I was a child, and I was accustomed to thinking about everything carefully and only attacked if I was sure."
Fan Xian suddenly raised his face, with a hint of joyful luster on his pretty face, and said, "However, this time it's different, I can never find a sure way... Since I can never think of any good method, why not use the easiest method?"
The simplest method, the six very simple words, contains a deep meaning. What is the simplest method in the world? Naturally, it is to bite with teeth and tear with claws like a wild beast, and engage in the most primitive and bloody hand-to-hand combat.
The words Fan Xian said were a breakthrough after the heartfelt setback. A ruthless spirit, a ruthless spirit that he had never shown before, was fully displayed.
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly calmed down, turned around and looked at his son quietly, as if he wanted to find something different from this familiar face. After a moment, the Emperor laughed loudly, and there was a little more appreciation in his laughter.
However, the laughter was curled for a moment, and the Emperor's voice was particularly cold: "Killing ministers in public and treating Qinglu as nothing is the same as grass, not a heroic means."
