459. You are so confused

Zhuxu Marquis Fan Chong went to the palace again to meet the emperor. He has come several times in the past two days, but he has been blocked. The emperor is always busy and has no time to meet him.

Fan Chong made up his mind to see the emperor today, but as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by the eunuch Mamong. Mamong told him with a smile that the queen asked him to go to the Jiaofang Hall.

As the emperor's career grew bigger and bigger, the management of the harem was strengthened bit by bit. The queen could no longer go to the palace and go back to her parents' home as freely as before. Now she had to see her father, so she could only summon him into the palace and meet him in the Jiaofang Hall.

When Fan Chong saw his daughter, he immediately asked, "Taohua, what is Your Majesty busy with? Why do you always ignore me?"

"Zhu Xuhou, according to etiquette, you should call me the queen!" Fan Hou's face was not very good-looking. He did not call his father as usual, but called Fan Chong's title directly, and talked about etiquette to Fan Chong for the first time.

Fan Chong was speechless, for some reason, Taohua suddenly looked at him and made him unable to get out of Taiwan in front of the servants.

Fan Chong, a rough man, is indeed not very polite. Although his status has changed in recent years and is much more particular than before, he has always been casual in front of his daughter and is still at home as usual.

There are no outsiders in Zhuxu Hou Mansion, they are all familiar with their own family members, but in the palace there are eunuchs and palace maids serving each other. When outsiders are present, it is very inappropriate to call the queen's nickname directly.

Fan Taohua came up and gave her a warning to her father. The eunuchs and palace maids in the hall were so scared that they didn't dare to show up. They could only pretend that they didn't hear it, and they all lowered their heads and lowered their hands, standing like wooden stakes.

How good is Ma Ming to observe his expressions? Otherwise, he would not be so favored in front of Hou Fan. He waved his hand and drove all his servants out, while he was the last one to withdraw. Ma Ming bent over and slowly walked back, exiting the hall all the way, and finally closed the door outside.

Now there are only father and daughter left in the hall. Fan Chong breathed a long sigh and felt much more comfortable.

"Tao, Queen, it's not good for her father. I will definitely be polite in the future and will not make it difficult for you to do it." As the boss of the Red Eyebrow Army of a million-level Red Eyebrow Army, Fan Chong can still figure out some things after his daughter reminded him. Moreover, he has always been a daughter slave. He has always obeyed his daughter's advice and does not care about Queen Fan's cold words, and even apologized first.

When Hou Fan heard him say this, his expression calmed down and said, "Father, it's not that I have to show you ugly in front of others. You should always pay attention to some occasions. If someone else is there, it's better to pay more attention to it, so as not to make people laugh."

Fan Chong nodded repeatedly and asked, "Taohua, what is the emperor busy with? Why didn't he see me?"

Empress Fan asked back, "What do you want to do when my father is anxious to see the emperor?"

"Of course it's a quelling rebellion!" Fan Chong said angrily: "Shanglinyuan's military situation is urgent! He Changnian's turtle is looking for death himself, and he insists on pulling me! I want to lead the troops to destroy him in person!"

"Father, you're so confused!" Hou Fan was a little embarrassed, and he made Fan Chong faint, not knowing where he was confused.

"Father, the man surnamed He is the one who has the banner of yours. Even if you don't have this mind, you are in a suspicion. What is the most important thing you are now? You must avoid suspicion! How can you get up?"

"Isn't I going to suppress the rebellion in person? I'll kill He Changnian, wouldn't I avoid suspicion?"

Empress Fan almost cried. Her father was actually a gangster. She used loyalty to catch a group of brothers. She really knew nothing about politics. If the situation was a little more complicated, she would be completely confused.

"Father, you are looking for the emperor to ask for the army to be taken to the expedition and wipe out He Changnian. But have you ever thought about it? What would others think when you took the army to Shanglinyuan?"

"What else can I think? It's best for me to suppress the rebellion. Others have to fight and kill. I'm going. Are those bastards still dare to use swords and guns with me?"

Fan Chong's words make sense. With his appeal in the Red Eyebrow Army, he only needs to raise his arms and shout when he gets there. Most of the old subordinates have to put down their swords and guns. He Changnian's words may not be good at that time. Moreover, He Changnian is probably calling everyone in the name of Fan Chong. The veterans of the Red Eyebrow Army may not know the truth, and they may think that rebellion is the order of the three elders. Fan Chong wants to express his attitude and let He Changnian's lies be self-defeating, and then his rebellion will go bankrupt immediately.

Fan Chong felt that the cost of suppressing the rebellion was the lowest. He even thought that he could handle the rebellion alone, avoid casualties and save money and food. What a great thing this is, how can he be confused?

But Fan Taohua didn't think so. Although she had never read any books since she was a child, she had a natural sense of political aura, and her way of thinking was completely different from Fan Chong.

"Father, anyone can suppress the rebellion, but you can't. You are going to jump into the fire pit. Don't ask His Majesty to say that His Majesty didn't see you, but he just didn't want you to say this. But he couldn't tell you this, he could only say it."

Fan Chong was completely confused. Why was such a good method so useless by peach blossoms?

Empress Fan knew that he had to understand his father clearly. If he was too obscure, he would not understand. "Father, if you lead troops to Shanglinyuan, those who know said you were going to quell the rebellion, and those who don't know thought you were going to meet with your old subordinates! Do you think your Majesty can let you go?"

Fan Chong jumped up and shouted, "This little bastard, I handed over all such a big mess to him, and gave him my daughter, and I will bet on him for the rest of my life. Why does the emperor still not believe me?"

After hearing this, Empress Fan was so angry that her lips trembled. Before she could say anything, tears fell down first. She stroked her bulging belly with one hand, rubbed her eyes with the other, and started crying with thrust.

When Fan Chong saw his daughter crying, his temper that had just emerged immediately disappeared and went to coax him, "Taohua, don't cry, you still have a body, crying is not good for the child."

Hou Fan sobbed for a while before saying, "I didn't expect that, father, you still have this kind of thought. It turns out that you always feel that Your Majesty owes you, and you think he is the son-in-law who begs for food... I tell you that Your Majesty's big family business is earned by others by his own ability. Although you gave him some things, Your Majesty has also paid you back well. If it weren't for him, you might not have been like this now!"

Fan Chong was a little dissatisfied with this, but he was afraid of being angry with Fan Taohua, so he had to hold back and say nothing. Empress Fan was about to give birth, and both the father and daughter had high hopes for the child, but they didn't want to make any mistakes at the last moment.

Hou Fan said: "You must not mention these resentment words to others. If you fall into the ears of those who are interested, you may cause a big disaster."

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, even if you complain or slander, Fan Chong was convicted of any crime. He was so arrogant that he could say whatever he wanted. If he met an emperor like Liu Che who did not recognize his relatives, he would have been killed eight times long ago.

Hou Fan said, "Father, don't be ungrateful. Your Majesty is for your own good. He also wants to protect you. He Changnian, a traitor, rebelled under your banner, and you have to stay away from this matter, the farther away the better. If you really go to quell the rebellion, with your straightforward nature, you might get into the trap of He. At that time, you can't even explain it clearly even if you have a mouth."

Fan Chong couldn't help but mutter, "As soon as I go, those bastards will be sure..."

Hou Fan suddenly shouted: "If you can quell a rebellion with just one word, how can your Majesty rest assured to you!"

She spoke harshly, which made Fan Chong stunned for a moment. He finally understood what his daughter meant.

Almost any former leader like him who has a huge influence in the Red Eyebrow Army cannot tolerate it. No matter what he is now, if one day he is a little dissatisfied with the emperor, he can immediately pull out a team, posing a huge threat to the imperial power.

His existence itself is a potential unstable factor in the current regime. To eliminate this hidden danger, the most worry-free way is of course to get rid of it. Now the emperor gives him the highest courtesy and let him be idle at home is actually very kind.

Fan Chong was still stunned. Empress Fan had already grabbed his arm and begged: "Father, Your Majesty has treated you very well with the old man in Qingzhou. You must be content. Your daughter is the queen today, and your grandson will be the emperor in the future. The world of the Liu family is half of our Fan family. If your children and grandchildren can be rich for generations, there is no need for you to worry about. What else do you have to be satisfied with?"

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense. Some people are greedy and want to make you a leader and vent their anger. Even if you don't have the intention, you may not say anything and let someone catch the handle if you say too much. Father, although this day is bright and bright, I don't know how many eyes are staring at you in the shadow of the light!"

Fan Chong felt that his daughter was very reasonable, but he still didn't know what to do. Was he just watching He Changnian throw dirty water on him?

Hou Fan took out a memorial from his sleeve and put it in his hand, saying, "I have asked someone to write a memorial for you. You don't have to read it, just hand it over. Then you stay at home and don't leave the house at all. No matter who comes, you won't see anyone, especially those old people in Qingzhou, you don't want to see any of them! As for suppressing the rebellion, you should just take this as a matter of no matter what, and let Your Majesty send someone to kill them, whether it's a mountain of blood or a river of blood, you don't need to take action anyway."

Fan Chong whispered: "But those are my brothers, they, alas, how can I watch them die?"

"They deserve to die!" Hou Fan gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Just because they only have you but not your Majesty in their hearts, just drag you into the water under your banner, they deserve to die! There are more than 100,000 troops in Chang'an City, and each county of Sanfu can mobilize tens of thousands of troops. Their mobs have no chance at all. In a few days, they will definitely be pacified. Don't worry about this, be sure to do what I said!"

The relatives of the Han Dynasty were very awesome. Even when Emperor Wu, who had the strongest concentration of imperial power, the power of the relatives was very important. Tian Fu was the prime minister, Wei Huo led the army, and Li Guangli, the main general in the late Wu Dynasty, was also the relatives of the foreign country. After Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Huo Guang was in power, and his daughter was also the queen. After Emperor Yuan, he became the world of the foreign country. The longevity of the old lady Wang Zhengjun sent the Wang family to control the court for a long time, and directly ruined the Han Dynasty.

But Fan Hou didn't want to rely on his mother's family at all. At this time, she just wanted to keep Fan Chong away from the court. This was impossible, because Fan Chong was not a political source. Not only could he not help the queen, but he might also drag her down.

The biggest thing for Empress Fan at this time was to have a son. As long as she has a legitimate son and according to normal rules, she would be a perfect prince. As long as she develops step by step, no matter how big the emperor earns in the future, she would have to hand it over to her son.

This is a clear and steady road. Although it has been a bit long in time, there are no detours and it is straight to the end. It is a good road, provided that her father can get good results and there is no fault in anything, otherwise the status of Empress Fan will definitely be affected.

Originally, a rebellion was no big deal, and it would not be too difficult for the court to quell it. If nothing unexpected happens, the matter will soon be a result. However, because Fan Chong was exploited, this matter became the biggest crisis faced by the Fan family. If one is not handled properly, Fan Chong may be cheated.

Not only did Fan Chong not know how to avoid suspicion, but also had to resist the wind. Hou Fan had no choice but to stop his father himself, so that he could protect himself in this crisis, try to stay out of the matter and not be implicated.

Fan Chong left the palace and returned to Zhuxu Marquis' Mansion. Pak An had been waiting there for a long time.

Although Empress Fan asked him to thank the guests in a closed door, the guest was already at home and could not be driven out. Moreover, this is his most loyal brother, Young Master. With the friendship between the two, how could he issue an order to expel the guest?

Fan Chongzheng had a lot of words and no one said so he ordered the hospitality of Gong'an, and the two of them drank with each other.

"Young boy, don't go back tonight. Stay with me. Let's have a good chat!"

The two of them sat in a relatively dull manner, both of whom were full of thoughts, but they were not easy to speak.

Finally, Yong An said first: "Three elders, you said that this emperor is not bad, and he treats us kindly, but why do you still rebel?"

Fan Chong immediately glared at him, "It's not the dog guy He Changnian who instigated him! Brothers may not know what's going on? I really want to kill him with my own hands!"

Rong An said: "Three elders, you say, those brothers...what will happen to those rebels in the end?"

What else can it be? It must be blood flowing, and it is a terrible sight.

Fan Chong was so upset that he couldn't speak, so he just shook his head and drank the muffled wine one by one.

"I really didn't expect that these brothers did not starve to death in the Great Famine and were not killed on the battlefield. They actually rebelled and died after we got the world..."

Yang An also raised his head and poured a glass of wine in. He paused for a moment, then slapped the wine case and said, "Three elders, these are all our brothers, the robes we fought together. If it weren't for the bastard named He, they wouldn't have ended up like this! You can't think of a way to save these brothers before the imperial army was launched?"

Fan Chong still said nothing, and Gong An finally couldn't help it and said, "Three elders, if you lead troops to suppress the rebellion, you must not use swords and guns to kill the He people there, and then bring the brothers back, and confess their guilt to His Majesty. They will be confused for a while. I believe Your Majesty will not make things difficult for them."

Fan Chong sighed and said, "I don't want to go either, but..."

He told Zheng An about entering the palace today. Today, this matter was stuck in others' hearts and finally vomited it out. Fan Chong felt much more comfortable.
