(There are typos, big typos, which are bothering me... A friend reminded me in the book review area a few days ago, thank you very much, but I didn’t improve it at that time, and I forgot your ID at this time, I’m really sorry. Finally The most important thing is that there was a power outage yesterday. Although I had a notebook, I lost the Internet. I was in a hurry to go to a classmate’s house to update it.

Looking at the monthly ticket list today, Qing Yu Nian is ranked fourth in the old book, oh no! Screaming, fifth place... more than 200 votes less than the first three, shake hard, shake hard, shake the votes out of your jar...)

The crown prince and Fan Xian are brothers by blood, and there is no unresolvable hatred between them, and those are matters of the elders after all. The prince had also expressed his willingness to reconcile to Fan Xian, but it was impossible for Fan Xian to believe it. The most important thing was that Fan Xian knew that the prince did not have enough strength and mentality to defeat him.

Therefore, the biggest target of all Fan Xian's actions in the past six months is actually the eldest princess. He did not expect that the emperor only imprisoned her in the end, but wanted to abolish the crown prince first. This fact made Fan Xian ponder for a long time, and he always felt that it was in order There are some problems, given that the emperor Laozi has been immersed in the world arena for many years, he should not make such mistakes.

Regardless of whether the order was wrong or not, the matter of the waste storage was carried out with great vigor and vigor among the ruling and opposition parties in the Qing Kingdom. The term vigorous may not be used accurately. The so-called wind starts at the end of the year. Any major event in history may be just some inconspicuous rumors in the officialdom at the beginning.

A few months ago, there was a fire in the East Palace and the crown prince went to Nanzhao. This was already rumored.

And when the eight offices of the Overwatch Council threw out some old stories, Taili Temple suddenly became interested in re-investigating the matter of the Northern Army's winter coats, and the Ministry of Household Affairs began to cooperate in researching where the money went... The rumors gradually became louder. up.

During the Spring Festival and Jingming last year, the crown prince and the second prince had investigated the household department in order to attack Fan Xian, and the biggest loophole they found was the issue of winter jackets for the northern army. In the end, it turned out to be his own head. Fortunately, His Majesty withdrew his hand later, and the prince avoided the disgraceful end.

But now that the imperial court brought up this old matter again, all the courtiers in the court smelled something different. The crown prince has long since lacked many loyal characters. Who is His Majesty going to ask the crown prince to throw out for atonement

Even at this time, none of the ministers thought that His Majesty would directly let the crown prince bear the responsibility for this crime, so when Dali Temple and the Overwatch Council took Xin Qiwusuo into prison, they all thought that the matter was over for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Xin Qiwu was released after being imprisoned for only three days. This confidant of the Eastern Palace and a close minister of the Crown Prince, because of his good relationship with Fan Xian, did not suffer any torture in the Overwatch Council, nor was he sent to the Overwatch Council. The crown prince will come out.

Even so, the Overwatch Council and Dali Temple still held the crown prince, and presented the secret performance to the imperial study room, and in a meeting of the imperial study room, it was presented before the eyes of those who were at the center of power in Qing Kingdom, Zhongshu and Liubu Shangshu.

Shu Wu and Hu Dashi pleaded for the crown prince and even acted as a guarantor, which allowed the emperor to calm down his feigned anger. But after the court was over, when the two great scholars got together to drink again, they couldn't help but sighed.

Your Majesty is really determined to abolish the crown prince, but the two of them must protect the crown prince as a senior scholar of Zhongshu. This has nothing to do with the faction, but the attitude they must express as pure officials. You have to treat it like a half emperor, and the emperor will not be harsh on it.

The most important thing is that the ministers of the DPRK and China, represented by Hu Shu, all thought that the crown prince might have been absurd and confused back then, but he had actually made a lot of progress in the past two years. Fan Xian, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was involved in these matters. They really hoped that His Majesty would be able to settle down and settle down on the distant future of Qing Kingdom.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the current crown prince is the best choice for the Qing Kingdom. It not only avoids internal conflicts in the Qing Kingdom, but also prevents the Overwatch Council...that young man from dominating.

The emperor of Qing Kingdom was not a foolish emperor. He knew the benefits of the check and balance between the monarch and his ministers to Qing Kingdom, and he also expected that the abolition of the reserve would definitely arouse great opposition, so he chose to remain silent for the time being. It seemed that after the first disturbance, His idea of waste storage was dispelled.

However, Grand Master Hu Shu and all the ministers knew clearly that his majesty was not a person who made decisions easily, but once he made a choice, he would stick to it no matter what difficulties he would face.

Sure enough, within a few days, the leaflet written by Lord Xue Qing, governor of Jiangnan Road, was delivered to the palace and read out in front of the court at the court meeting. Every word and every sentence implicitly referred to the East Palace, and the hidden meaning in it was known to everyone.

Shu Wu was furious, even though he knew that the situation was going against him and he couldn't turn back, he still came out and yelled at Xue Qing for disobedience, talking nonsense about disobedience.

The emperor took pity on Shu Wu for his old age and infirmity, and ordered him to return to his residence for three months to recuperate without any punishment.

The other six governors came again openly, their tone may be heavy or light, or explicit or covert, but they all expressed their attitudes in a veiled way.

The situation at this time has gradually become clear. The emperor intends to abolish the reserve, and the governors of the Seven Routes are forced to write a letter to respond to Shengwei. Only the first-class ministers in the court are caught in the middle. There are thorns on the lower part of the cover, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body.

However, even though Shu Wu was invited back to the mansion, the Zhongshu under the door still played the positive role that the Qing Emperor allowed them to play. The ministers in the court were bold enough to weigh their words at the court meeting and expressed their opposition, but they were timid. He remained silent... Not one of the ministers bravely wrote a letter under the hint of the emperor, asking His Majesty to be easy to store.

Yes, no matter how much you like flattering people, it is difficult to do this kind of thing. The civil and military people in the court and the people in the capital are all looking at these officials. The prince did not make any big mistakes, but he will be deposed. It is really unreasonable , and cannot be explained in history books in the future.

After the court meeting ended, representatives of several civil servants came to Shu's mansion, and carefully sought the opinion of Master Shu. Anyway, His Majesty knew about these things, and they were not afraid of being accused of forming a party.

Shu Wu was wearing a cloth robe, and after a long silence, he said with a smile: "Everything in the world must have a reason, especially the matter of the crown prince, which involves the will of heaven above and the people below. Xian once said, worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. This is a state matter, not the emperor's family matter. As a minister, Shu Wu should relieve His Majesty's worries at the top, and relieve the worries of the Qing Dynasty at the other side. Sacred Heart There is no need to think about it, just ask your own heart."

"Your Majesty has made up his mind, what can we do?"

Shu Wu grabbed the beard under his chin, and said happily as usual: "Mr. once said that if the king has a disorderly order, the subject cannot accept it."

The gentleman he was talking about was naturally the Master Zhuang Mo and Han Zhuang who had passed away for nearly two years. The civil servants went home separately, each in silence.

In fact, if the emperor wants to hint to his subjects to write letters, there are still many ways to find those spokespersons in the court easily, but what is strange is that since the turmoil, except for the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Fan Jian, the emperor has never summoned anyone The minister entered the palace alone. So the courtiers are also wondering whether His Majesty's mind has not yet been settled - they are not the role of His Majesty's domestic slaves like the Governor of the Seven Routes, and they dare not write a letter indiscriminately.

The court fell into an embarrassing silent confrontation, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was in the center of the incident in the East Palace, was still gentle and calm, as if he didn't take this matter to heart. There is no capable person in his faction, but this time he has won the support of so many civil servants. This can be said to be a kind of unexpected joy, but it is also a kind of... unexpected surprise.

So while secretly grateful, the prince became more silent.

And in this waste storage turmoil, there are two young people who stay out of the matter, most attracting the attention of the officials. These two young dignitaries are somewhat similar in appearance and temperament, and their relationship with the prince is very complicated. Even today, their performance is quite beyond people's expectations.

The first one is of course Fan Xian. In people's eyes, he is an out-and-out son of the Three Princes, and he himself is His Majesty's illegitimate son, so his identity is too sensitive. However, before and after Governor Qilu wrote the letter, he maintained a deathly silence in Jiangnan. There was no mention of this matter in the daily postings to enter the palace. Although the Overwatch Council found the East Palace from the Ministry of Households, it was obviously not as strong as the officials had imagined. Everyone could see clearly that the Overwatch Council's actions in the capital had nothing to do with Fan Xian.

So much so that people suddenly thought of the Yichun matter, His Majesty threw Fan Xian to the south of the Yangtze River, did he also have the idea of severing him from the Overwatch Council? And Fan Tisi, who has always been gentle on the surface but firm in his heart, why didn't he seize this opportunity to beat the dog in the water

The second one is the Second Prince. Before Fan Xian entered Beijing, this second prince had always been loved by His Majesty, and he was the first to be crowned king among His Majesty's princes. , it was him who secretly protected... This second prince is not simple, he faintly fights against the prince, the so-called seizing the crown prince, in fact, he was the one who was first pointed at.

However, in the past six months, there have been many major events in the capital, but they seem to have nothing to do with the second prince. After the eldest princess was imprisoned, the second prince was fine. Instead, the prince was exiled by His Majesty.

Now that the crown prince is in danger of being deposed, it stands to reason that the second prince should be the one who benefits the most, and he should take action as a matter of course. Even if in order to avoid suspicion and to please His Majesty, he insisted on the word filial piety and remained silent all the time, but he actually... personally wrote a letter to defend the case of the Northern Army's winter jacket for the prince, and even secretly mobilized the officials in the faction to stand up. On the opposite side of the emperor's mind.

Of course, his power in the court has basically been shattered by Fan Xian's two battles, but after so many years of operation, he still has something to say. The most important thing is that after he married Ye Linger, he waited If he becomes the half master of the Ye family, it will indeed be useful for him to speak for the prince.

The two brothers of the prince, the two greatest enemies, expressed their support in different ways when the prince was in the most danger. This is really a wonderful and mysterious situation.

Presumably, Emperor Qing must be in a very complicated mood at this time.

However, before the matter of abolishing the stockpile reached its climax, a climax had already occurred on one of the three most dangerous borders in the world, which shocked the already panic-stricken courtiers of the Qing Kingdom to become excited instead.

The three most dangerous borders are the border between Northern Qi and Northern Man, the border between Nanqing and Xihu, and... the border between Nanqing and Northern Qi.

For three consecutive years in the extreme north, it snowed heavily, and the frozen northern barbarian cattle and horses died. The whole family had to migrate around the Tianmai. The tragic price of the population ten to seven.

This is a major event in history, and it has had a profound impact on the current world. First of all, the Northern Qi people no longer have to worry about the wild and tall wilderness barbarians behind them. They can finally free up their hands to deal with the Qing people in the south—that hand is naturally the famous general Uesugi Tiger.

However, after Xihu spent two years digesting the northern barbarians and joining the tribe, his strength suddenly increased sharply. Because although there are few survivors from the northern barbarians, the tribesmen who can survive thousands of miles without food and medicine are all elite young men and women selected in a thousand miles.

Qingguo was beset by enemies from both sides, and the pressure increased sharply.

Only then did the Ye family in Dingzhou rush to help the western front, and Li Hongcheng, Prince Jing's son, was currently playing hide-and-seek with those barbarians in the west.

Yan Xiaoyi from the north also returned to the camp ahead of time, using a strong military force to suppress Uesugi Tiger's strategy and the bad ideas of the Northern Qi people.

And the climax of the border line this time broke out on the northern line, between Yan Xiaoyi, the governor of Peking University, and Uesugi Tiger, a generation of famous generals.

When Uesugi Tiger led the army to retreat, leaving Yan Xiaoyi time to think and prepare, Yan Xiaoyi did not think about his retreat in the Qing Kingdom at all, to prepare for the arrest of the Qing Emperor, and directly waved his troops Going north, with 20,000 elites, along the middle seam of Yanjing in Cangzhou, assault Beiying!

The soldiers never tire of deceit, and the force of the soldiers is as fast as a hurricane. Yan Xiaoyi perfectly carried out this purpose, did not ask the Privy Council for instructions at all, and did not have time to wait for the emperor's order, so he personally led the army and killed the generals.

But at this time, Uesugi Tiger, who has always been relentless in the battlefield, obviously did not expect that Yan Xiaoyi himself was in danger, and he had the intention to send troops to attack.

At that time, the Northern Qi army was slowly withdrawing for more than 50 miles, and the camp was not stable, and they were suddenly attacked at night, causing heavy losses. However, the Nanqing army only paid 5,000 lives in total.

It was for the great victory in Cangzhou.

In people's minds, this seems to be the first time Tiger Uesugi has lost a battle.

When the news came back to the capital, both the scholar Shu who was ordered to recuperate and the common people who sold alcohol on the street became excited. The belligerence and passion for expansion deeply buried in the blood of the people of the Qing Dynasty were overwhelmed by this time. "Shameless" victory reached its peak.

The dark cloud that has been floating over the capital seems to be no longer so dazzling. People are thinking that with such great news, His Majesty will not insist on his absurdity and do things contrary to people's emotions. Not really a good choice.

Following the arrival of the battle report, the Northern Qi Emperor's letter of credence followed immediately. In the book, the Northern Qi Emperor scolded furiously, saying that the two countries had good relations, but you are so shameless.

After receiving the letter of credence, Emperor Qing just smiled and handed over the matter to Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites. In today's world, the division of national borders is always so vague. It is always difficult to say who entered whose territory. If it is really a misunderstanding, please apologize in a few days. Anyway, it is impossible to kill someone. Come back to life.

The emperor smiled and said to Eunuch Hong beside him: "Yan Xiaoyi is not bad, he knows the right way to explain the meaning of his existence to me."

Yes, people who have no meaning of existence should no longer exist.

Such as prince.

So Dali Temple continued to interrogate the Dongao case, and the Overwatch Council continued to dig out all the wrong things the prince had done.

The matter of abolishing the reserve was not interrupted because of Yan Xiaoyi's big victory, it just rested for a while, and under the disappointed gaze of the officials, it was carried out slowly and unquestionably.

None of this had anything to do with Fan Xian.

He was on a civilian ship at this time, staring at the courtyard newspaper in his hand in a daze, thinking that the emperor Lao Tzu was indeed more shameless than himself. It seems that in a few days, the sacrifice to heaven mentioned by Xue Qing will begin I don't know what the quiet celebration temple fair in Kyoto will look like.

There is a reason to find the crown prince, and then pray to the heavens—the emperor is the son of heaven, and the prince is naturally the grandson of heaven. If God thinks that this grandson is not good, then the son of God will have to do as well.

This will be written, and it will be much more beautiful in the history books.

Really shameless.

Fan Xian shook his head and put down the courtyard newspaper. Since Xue Qing started writing the letter, he fled Suzhou. He didn't return to Hangzhou or Wuzhou. He just disguised himself as a citizen and got on a civilian boat. He subconsciously wanted to stay as far away from this political whirlpool as possible.

He also knew about the second prince's letter to protect the prince, and he thought that the second prince's heart was really cruel.

He thought about the great victory in Cangzhou again, and a trace of doubt flashed in his pupils. He never knew anything about military matters, but he always felt that a terrifying character like Uesugi Tiger could be so big in the hands of Yan Xiaoyi. deficit? The most important thing is that lightly starting a war is a serious crime. The courtiers and the common people can be as happy as watching a play, how can the emperor be as happy as an idiot?
