Today's Baoyuelou has laid a large network all over the world. Although all parties know that the world's largest brothel alliance is the property of the Fan family, there is no way to control it. After all, this is a serious business. No country's laws can control it. Baoyuelou opened on good conditions, was polite and considerate to the girls in the building, really enjoyed the guests, harmonious labor and capital, and had Fan Xian's power as a backer, Xia Mingji and China Merchants Bank as financial support, in just four short days Over the years, it has extended its tentacles to every place.
Although Baoyue Building's intelligence collection was far from being as professional and powerful as the Overwatch Council, at least it provided Fan Xian with another source of information.
After all, the Overwatch Council is the official secret service agency of the Qing Kingdom. Fan Xian always had a faint fear in his heart. If His Majesty the Emperor asked him to hand over the Overwatch Council one day, his eyesight and hearing would deteriorate a lot. The prince's secret report confirmed the benefits of Fan Xian's vigorous support of Baoyue Tower.
Regarding the news in the secret report, the Overwatch Council's report, and even the secret report of the Qi Nian Team did not mention a single word. If it weren't for the ventilation of the Baoyue Tower, Fan Xian would not have known that there was another good scene in the capital.
Of course, Fan Xian also knew that the Overwatch Council and the Qi Nian Group could not be blamed for this matter. After all, it involved the face of the royal family and the family affairs of the emperor's family. As well as the supervision of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he really couldn't report the news to himself with empty teeth.
But Baoyuelou doesn't care about these things. In Fan Xian's organizational structure, Baoyuelou is more like the Yushitai, where there is freedom to hear and discuss matters. Occasional rumors spread.
There may be no reason for it, Fan Xian frowned, thinking about what happened in the capital.
If it's just His Royal Highness accepting the side concubine, it's just a trivial matter, and he doesn't need to be so nervous, but the key point is that it is clearly stated in Baoyuelou's information that the selection of the side concubine is completely determined by the palace, and the eldest prince didn't know it beforehand , and it is said that the eldest prince has great resistance to this matter, and has entered the palace to quarrel with His Majesty twice.
Fan Xian had a headache. He knew what kind of temperament this elder brother was. Although the eldest prince was very general, he was extremely stubborn when it came to family matters involving the royal family. In addition, he and the eldest princess had a harmonious relationship. How could it be possible to agree to the palace to marry again.
And the palace wanted him to accept another concubine, obviously with deeper considerations, Fan Xian was also very clear about this.
Ever since the rebellion in Kyoto was finally put down, and His Majesty the Emperor regained his love for his eldest son, the first thing to deal with was not to transfer the eldest prince to the frontier army as the real commander-in-chief, but to secretly prepare for the eldest prince to take over side concubine. Therefore, the matter of accepting the side concubine has actually been carried out in secret for a long time, but it has been resisted by the eldest prince and has not really surfaced.
The eldest princess is the eldest princess of Northern Qi, and the honeymoon period between Nanqing and Northern Qi has ended. For future wars, His Majesty the Emperor will never allow his eldest son to be subdued by a Northern Qi woman. In the future, the final Northern Expedition, The eldest prince is obviously the best candidate for the vanguard commander. His Majesty the Emperor's intention is very clear, let him accept the side concubine first, and then find an opportunity, find an excuse, and abolish the eldest princess.
The meaning is very clear, but it's a pity that Emperor Qing's sons are a little disobedient. The eldest prince has never been such a obedient person, so he has been able to resist for two years. But from the news of Baoyue Tower, it seems that the palace is going to put this This matter was made clear, and he directly spoke to the master.
Fan Xian hugged his knees with a headache, and was very annoyed. He had great dissatisfaction with His Majesty, thinking to himself that since His Majesty is so aggressive, what are you afraid of if you accept it for the time being? If it can be delayed for a while, it is only for a while. Do you have to make a decree from the emperor, and then you go to the palace to play tricks rather than surrender
Children of the royal family, how can they be qualified to be lovers? It's just that the eldest prince and the eldest princess, a married couple, really look like they've been together for a long time. Fan Xian admired him and sighed to himself. Not as good.
In addition to admiration, what gave Fan Xian a headache was that the information from Baoyue Building was cryptic, but secretly revealed a piece of news. After discussing with Concubine Ning, His Majesty the Emperor held back his anger for the time being and prepared to let Fan Xian return to the capital. Persuade His Royal Highness to accept the side concubine.
It has to be said that after the rebellion in Kyoto and the death of the crown prince and the second prince, Emperor Qing's attitude towards his only three sons was much gentler than before. Being imprisoned in the palace, unlike today, he can still hold back his temper and let Fan Xian persuade him.
It may take some time for His Majesty's secret decree to reach Fan Xian, but Baoyue Tower received the news much faster. Fan Xian held his head, thinking what the hell is going on? Back then, when the eldest princess of Northern Qi traveled thousands of miles south to marry the eldest prince, she was the officiant envoy. Could it be that four years had passed, and she was going to be the one to break the marriage
As he sighed before, the world is really unpredictable.
…
…
It was morning at this time, and the skylight from the east, through the lonely autumn tree in the Qingzhou military office, cut into several large patches of clear light, which made the paper window of the room clear. A maid passed by the window with a plate, A shadow cast on the window.
Shadow stood beside Fan Xian quietly, looking at him with a sad face, without saying a word. The number one assassin in the world was used to standing quietly behind Chen Pingping or Fan Xian, blending into the shadows of buildings or landscapes. He was used to seeing the constant troubles of the two masters of the Overwatch Council, but he was still not used to being with him. They talked and advised them, for his job was to kill and not to include such poor brains.
After returning from the grassland, Shadow took off the herdsman's clothes and returned to Fan Xian's side. It was very quiet just like in the past few years, but Fan Xian occasionally noticed that this number one assassin in the world would look at him from time to time. Wang Shisanlang, who was recuperating in the courtyard with both eyes, had complicated and weird eyesight.
"I can't go back to Beijing yet." Fan Xian knew that the shadow wasn't Yan Bingyun, Deng Ziyue, or Wang Qinian, the chatterbox. It was impossible to wait for him to speak. The matter of Lu is not over yet, and since there is no news from Beijing, it is not appropriate for me to rush back in such a hurry."
"It's just a small matter." Shadow knew that Fan Tisi wanted to talk to him, so he paused and said, "Don't worry too much."
Fan Xian shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not a trivial matter. You don't know that these men in the old Li family are more stubborn than the other. Let's just say Chengqian and the second child. They died stubbornly and refused to bow their heads to His Majesty." Although His Majesty has a much more open-minded temperament, in his bones, he has the taste of barbarians who love freedom. If His Majesty forces him so much, who knows how he will respond frighteningly."
Before the shadow could speak, Fan Xian continued with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, even everyone in the government and the opposition, seems to believe in one thing, that they are not of my race, and their hearts must be different... If not, then Just because the eldest prince is half Dongyi blood, no one believes that he will inherit the throne. He himself has half Dongyi blood, and the princess he married is from the Northern Qi. Under the current situation, His Majesty wants him to abolish the throne. Concubine, in fact, she has the intention of protecting and reusing him."
During the suppression of the rebellion in Kyoto, there were three great heroes, namely Fan Xian, Ye Zhong, and the First Prince. At that time, the First Prince held the Imperial Army in his hands and controlled the vital points, but he resolutely carried out the so-called will of His Majesty the Emperor and successfully sent The situation of the rebellion was controlled within the acceptable range of Qing's national strength. Because of this matter, His Majesty's attitude towards him has also changed greatly, and he is no longer as indifferent as in previous years.
"To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor feels a little guilty towards His Royal Highness." Fan Xian rubbed his aching brows and said softly, "So he wants to make up for the First Prince. But in terms of the First Prince's life ambitions The best way to make up for it is, of course, to let him be the vanguard, fight for Nanqing in the South and North, dominate the world, and shine on the battlefield... His Majesty really decided to use him as the commander, so the princess must be abolished."
Thinking of this episode, he also felt a little bit of resentment towards His Majesty the Emperor. The First Princess is the Great Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so it does have some influence on the First Prince's appointment as the head coach of the Northern Expedition, but why should he use such a low-level method of court fighting as the side concubine to solve it? This doesn't look like the demeanor that a king of a country should have, but rather like an old guy who is angry with his son. Suddenly, his heart was shaken, and he wondered: Is it possible that the emperor Laozi has not learned from his previous experience, and still maintains strong suspicions, so he wants to use various means to eliminate these doubts in the bud
Fan Xian's heart gradually cooled down, and he realized that he had made a mistake in the past few years. He still underestimated His Majesty's powerful desire for power, as well as his natural suspicion and cruelty as an emperor.
It is difficult to be a son, it is even more difficult to be the son of an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be the son of the emperor of Qing Kingdom. Fan Xian let out a foul breath, knowing that after returning to the capital, he might feel sad being caught between His Majesty and the First Prince, so it's better not to think about it.
But he was a little curious. He didn't know whose daughter the concubine His Majesty pointed out to His Royal Highness, and which prince or minister was so fearless, and dared to send his own daughter to the tigress, the Great Princess. In the mouths of the prince, the male tiger, and the imperial concubine Ning, the old tigress.
After suppressing the rebellion in the capital, considering Ning Cairen's merits and virtues, and taking into account the face of the eldest prince, His Majesty the Emperor finally promoted her to the position. After more than twenty years of delay, he finally named her a noble concubine. It's just that this Dongyi female slave back then, after becoming a noble concubine, still has not changed her aggressive temperament back then, full of tiger nature.
The eldest prince's family, that is Hulin.
Anyway, it can't be Ruoruo, Fan Xian still has confidence in this point, His Majesty the Emperor now trusts and loves him very much, and he knows that for Ruoruo's marriage, he did not hesitate to beat Hongcheng into a generation of prostitutes, so he will not use it This is to tease oneself, because a small loss makes a big difference.
Fan Xian stood up, pushed the door open, and greeted the autumn scenery in the courtyard, no longer thinking about the annoying things in the capital. It was late autumn at this time, and the military government office was full of clean and alienated colors, the sky was extremely high, and the clouds were extremely light, which made people feel open-minded when they saw it.
Qingzhou City is close to Xihu, and it has the wind of grassland. Perhaps only in this kind of place can people have a bright and cheerful mood, such as the strange eldest prince of the royal family, such as the strange Ye Ling among the nobles Son.
Fan Xian looked at the girl's house in the courtyard with a smile, thinking that the eldest princess is in a very difficult situation, but the second princess seems to have gradually escaped from the shadow of the second's death. There are always good things happening in the world.
…
…
Wang Shisanlang's body recovered very quickly, and now he can wander around the Qingzhou Military Yarn in a wheelchair. Because of Ye Linger's words, Fan Xian didn't bother to do those useless cover-ups. He called a few girls to push the cart, and sent a few subordinates from the Sixth Office to follow to protect his safety.
For the past ten days or so, Fan Xian has been busy contacting Dingzhou, leading the counterattack on Xiliang Road, and conducting private transactions with the Grassland. His eyes were not blind, and he could see this lonely Qingzhou military office. Because Wang Shisanlang woke up, some changes gradually took place, and in the autumn garden, there was an occasional feeling of spring.
When Wang Shisanlang is sitting in a wheelchair and resting in the garden occasionally, not far from him, there will be a girl sitting at home, doing other things, such as embroidering, such as pretending to be a goose to watch the scenery .
And at that time, Thirteenth Wang would turn into a goose, staring blankly at the goose looking at the scenery.
Except when they bumped into each other head-on, this young couple would say hello to each other and didn't gossip. Wuxin Shiba.
Fan Xian is the little ancestor of the Overwatch Council, and Ye Linger is the little ancestor of Qingzhou City. She gave an order, and never went out of the city every day to intercept those rushing out of the grassland on the grassland like in the past year. Huren, but stayed in the military yamen honestly, and all the old subordinates in the military yamen were driven out, leaving only servants and maids.
As a result, in the small garden of the Qingzhou military government office, there is now an extra scene, which is exactly the appearance of the two-headed goose that Fan Xian thought secretly with a smile. If you use more beautiful words to say it, it is the scenery, the people in the scenery, and the people who see the scenery.
For two people who admire each other, each other is the scenery of the other, right
…
…
As her master, Fan Xian of course knows what kind of temperament Ye Linger is. Sometimes he asks himself, if he is a woman, he will be shocked by the thirty-eight knife marks on Wang Shisanlang's face. What's more, Thirteen Lang is a silent, gentle and handsome man. How can such a character not make Ye Linger, who was born in the army, tempted.
Although Ye Linger's status was a bit troublesome, Fan Xian didn't worry about it. His Majesty the Emperor had secretly issued a decree two years ago to allow Ye Linger to remarry and let her choose her husband. This is a great grace. As long as she has her eyes on the person, I'm afraid that the Nanqing court will snatch it for her.
The problem now is Wang Shisanlang's identity. Although he secretly works for the Overwatch Council and His Majesty the Emperor knows about it secretly, he is Si Gu Jian's closed disciple after all, the thirteen disciples of Dongyi City Jianlu, Ye Ling Her son used to be the second concubine, but she wanted to marry a master in Dongyi City.
Of course, if Dongyi City can completely fall to the Qing Kingdom under his own auspices, then these obstacles will no longer exist. Fan Xian decided to do his best on this matter, and it can be regarded as making up for Ye Zhong on behalf of the emperor. The home of a poor girl.
There's just one problem.
Fan Xian looked at the two people in the garden amusedly, touched his nose and thought, these two people are still in a strange state, someone has to find out, and the most important thing is that Ye Linger likes Wang Shisan Lang is not surprised, what is Wang Shisanlang thinking in his heart? No matter how noble Ye Linger's status is, she is still a real little widow after all.
He knew why Shisanlang Wang was attracted by Ye Linger's silhouette, because that silhouette was very lonely, but Fan Xian knew that the real Ye Linger was not like this.
Especially... embroidery.
Fan Xian shuddered, Ye Linger actually embroidered flowers in front of Wang Shisanlang and acted cowardly, if this matter was reported back to the capital and Wan'er's ears, it would make his wife faint from laughter.
He decided to tell Wang Shisanlang the real Ye Ling'er, lest his young friend whom he admired so much realize that his life turned out to be a huge misunderstanding after marriage.
Just as Fan Xian was walking down the stone steps and was about to disturb the two young men and women who were "unpretentious", the shadow behind the door said something softly, and he stopped in his tracks.
Shadow has been carefully hiding his whereabouts these days, so as not to be sent by Wang Shisanlang. Fan Xian knew the complex relationship between Shadow and Sword Hut, and also knew Shadow's true identity, so he absolutely must not let anyone know. Si Gu Jian and Shadow have a sworn feud, looking at Si Gu Jian's most beloved young disciple in the autumn garden, Shadow's mood is not as happy as that of the men and women in the garden.
After a while, Fan Xian said, "We'll go again next spring, he won't die so early."
