What kind of person He Zongwei is, presumably the judges are well aware that the past and old grudges between him and Fan Xian are very far away, but with Fan Xian's extremely vengeful character, how can he not name this person? It is deeply imprinted in my heart.
"Meet the Grand Master."
"I have seen the young master."
He Zongwei was neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed his body very calmly to salute. Hu Dashi laughed and said a few gossips, raised his arms falsely, and signaled him not to be too polite. Fan Xian, on the other hand, just watched the young minister calmly from the sidelines, and countless images flashed through his mind.
At the beginning of the seventh year of Qingli, the military killed Fan Xian in the valley, giving His Majesty the Emperor a chance to renew the court. Seven young officials entered the palace that day, known as the Seven Gentlemen by the people. Among the Seven Gentlemen, Qin Heng participated in the rebellion and died, Yan Bingyun was working in the Overwatch Council in a stable manner, just waiting to take over Fan Xian's position as chief inspector, while He Zongwei was the most trusted by His Majesty among these new blood. The person who improves the fastest.
After the suppression of the rebellion in the capital, Fan Xian's eldest son Ye Zhong and the three of them were the first to contribute. The problem is that these three are already the top figures among the dignitaries. However, because of this matter, He Zongwei was greatly favored by His Majesty, he was promoted three ranks in a row, and entered the political center of the imperial court like a rocket. This kind of promotion speed is really unusual, and perhaps only Fan Xian, who has just entered the capital, can overwhelm him.
And not only Fan Xian knew it, but He Zongwei himself knew it. In fact, everyone in the government and the public knew that this person's leapfrog promotion and His Majesty's trust in delegating power were just for His Majesty to balance Fan Xian's natural power. It's not that the emperor has any doubts about Fan Xian, it's just that a powerful official like Fan Xian will always have some problems if there is no one to check and balance in the court.
Although He Zongwei entered the sect, he still served as the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. With the holy will, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate rose sharply, forming a great oppression on the power of the Overwatch Council. Over the past two years, there have been countless lawsuits between the Supervisory Yuan and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The situation between the two parties has been extremely tense, and the eight law enforcement departments headed by Song Shiren and Chen Bochang have been too busy.
The Department of Law Enforcement is Fan Xian's newly established office of the Overwatch Council on a whim, in order to deal with the most talkative censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
From this, it can be seen that Fan Xian certainly doesn't like He Zongwei. This person overthrew his father-in-law and opposed him everywhere. The most important thing is that under the serious face of the other party, there is a speculative heart that he hates the most. .
The name "Household Slave of Three Surnames" was spread from the study of the Fan Mansion. The gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was kicked down by Fan Xian. Everyone knew that Mr. Fan looked down on He Zongwei the most.
But every time he met at the court meeting or at the government office, He Zongwei still maintained absolute respect for Fan Xian, as if he didn't know about it at all, as if the two of them had the same feeling when they first met in Yishiju. .
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, as long as the other party doesn't touch his bottom line for the time being, Fan Xian will naturally not be mean and humiliating to him. However, it was also He Zongwei's smiling attitude that made him secretly wary. It was impossible for such a young man who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain to make him suffer on the surface, but Who knows what the other party will do in the dark.
He Zongwei seemed to see that Fan Xian was not very willing to talk to him, so he smiled helplessly, saluted the two of them again, and said something in harmony, then followed the red lantern and retreated to the dark place under the palace city. middle.
Fan Xian squinted his eyes and looked at the lantern until he could no longer see the person's face, then he let out a breath of foul air. University scholar Hu looked at him gently from the side, and said: "Master He has a stable family, but he is not a person without measure. The dispute between the two courts is just for business."
Hearing Hu Dashi speak for He Zongwei, Fan Xian's lips curled up, and he jokingly said, "If you were to marry that precious daughter of yours to him, would you be willing?"
Master Hu was coughing again and again, pointing at Fan Xian in a funny and angry way, unable to speak. There is a trend of late marriage in Kyoto today, even if the palace is very displeased with it, it can't be changed. For example, Prince Jing's sons, such as He Zongwei, are already independent people, but they are still alone and do not want to get married.
"Speaking of that girl from my family..." Dashi Hu suddenly smiled and said, "Anzhi, I heard that you accepted the young lady from Dudu Wang's family as a student. If that's the case, you don't mind having my girl?"
Fan Xian was startled, and then thought that he had accepted Wang Tong'er as a female student. After the dispute between the imperial study and His Majesty, this matter had become a reality. At that time, he was still complacent, and he made progress by retreating, and asked His Majesty to hand over the matter of the eldest prince's acceptance of the side concubine to himself. Now, after listening to the words of Hu Dashi, he realized that he had caused a problem again.
He waved his hands again and again, and said, "What are you talking about? A bachelor with a bachelor's degree is rich in five cars, and a daughter is also very smart. Why do you need me, a piece of trash, to do anything?"
Seeing that he refused simply, Master Hu smiled, thinking that if you are a waste, no one in the world is a waste, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity.
Everyone in the court, Chinese and military officials knows that Mr. Xiao Fan is a master in the world. He taught the stubborn third prince to be a gentle gentleman today, and taught Miss Ye from the capital to be a gentle princess. Humanities are known as poets, and martial arts are of the ninth rank. Even Hu Dashi is very willing to send his daughter to his mansion-of course, not as a concubine, but as a female student.
Fan Xian turned the topic back to the previous sentence, and said jokingly, "The scholar refuses to marry his daughter to He Zongwei because he knows that his intentions are not righteous. Such a villain, why should I make false claims with him."
Master Hu sighed helplessly, thinking that in today's imperial court, only Fan Xian would criticize He Zongwei so harshly, but he still couldn't figure out why Fan Xian looked down on He Zongwei so much. If he wanted to talk about those things back then, it was not His Majesty. Made it all possible.
Anyway, this matter is inexplicable. Fan Xian's fear and dislike of He Zongwei came from many sources. At this time, it was still early and there was nothing else going on, so Fan Xian started gossiping with Master Hu.
After Shu Wu returned to old age, Fan Xian was a little surprised to find that Master Hu, like Old Man Shu, was a very interesting person, not at all pedantic. In addition, during the Kyoto rebellion, Fan Xian had inherited Shu Wu's The friendship between the two great scholars is great, the old and the young have business contacts on weekdays, and they get along very well, and the relationship is also a little closer.
Fan Xian and the two of them got together and talked about the Xinwen movement of Master Hu. Although this incident ended without a problem in the end, it was the most proud thing in Master Hu's life, even more proud than being a master. , and Fan Xian is also a disciple of the master who was deeply baptized by the May Fourth Movement. He spoke with incomparable joy, and his laughter actually penetrated the silence under the palace city.
At this time, in the darkness under the palace gate, countless red lanterns are actually looking up at this place. Many people want to participate in the dialogue between the scholar and the young master, but they know that they do not have the qualifications. Laughing at the court meeting, and only these two have the courage.
After a long while, Fan Xian straightened up, suddenly sensed that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit weird, frowned slightly, and sighed.
Master Hu took a look at him, knowing what he had realized, and smiled slightly.
Fan Xian never knew that His Majesty the Emperor thought about letting him succeed him for a moment after suppressing the rebellion, although His Majesty resolutely erased this thought from his mind afterwards.
But he knew His Majesty the Emperor's initial arrangements for the government in the Qing Dynasty, using He Zongwei's Metropolitan Procuratorate to balance the power of the Supervisory Yuan, and then the sect under the leadership of Hu Dashi to stabilize the government.
Such an arrangement can ensure the peace of Qing Dynasty's government for twenty years.
It's just that Fan Xian's power is too great now, and he has a very good relationship with Hu Dashi, the emperor's arrangement can't be carried out, so he had to mention He Zongwei to the sect secretary.
"Your Majesty's meaning is very clear." Hu Dashi said gently: "He didn't want the courtiers below to be like fire and water. At first, Mr. He came to greet you, and he intended to ease it. Anzhi, you are a smart person, you should know how to do it."
Fan Xian fell silent, his handsome face looked extremely calm under the light of the lantern. A year and a half ago, he once kicked open the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and scolded more than a dozen censors under He Zongwei until they died. He scolded until his face turned pale.
This incident proved His Majesty the emperor's maintenance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the price he was willing to pay to maintain this balanced situation. So from that day on, Fan Xian knew exactly what he should do, and he has always done so. As long as He Zongwei is not too excessive, he will not do anything wrong, except that the establishment of a law enforcement department will make the Metropolitan Procuratorate extremely uncomfortable. , and there is no really powerful means to display it.
But all of this must be based on the premise that Fan Xian can bear it. If He Zongwei does something he can't bear, with his blood relationship with the emperor and his current real strength, a character like He Zongwei, even if it is really a knife Killed, so what? Is the emperor willing to let his illegitimate son pay for his life for a minister
Grand Master Hu looked at the darkness under the palace gate, and sighed faintly, feeling worried for He Zongwei in his heart. He immediately thought of what His Majesty meant the night before yesterday, and couldn't help frowning. According to the usual theory, although He Zongwei is not a pure and good person, but the old things in the past were His Majesty's will. After thinking about it, this Master He is actually not bad— If Sir Fan is willing, His Majesty's proposal can really calm down the dispute between the two chambers.
All of this depends on whether Fan Xian is willing or not. Senior Madam Hu turned his head and took a deep look at Fan Xian.
At this moment, Fan Xian was thinking whether the words of Master Hu University were the words entrusted to him by the emperor, or the attitude of his subordinate Zhongshu. Then he frowned and thought that although He Zongwei respected him very much on weekdays, he was not as respectful as he is today. Like, so docile and peaceful, no temper at all.
All of this is actually due to the excessive power in Fan Xian's hands. An illegitimate son of the royal family, the Overwatch Council has everything in his hands, and the inner treasury can't do without him. Such power is too exaggerated. Thinking of the emperor's thoughts, Fan Xian couldn't help being annoyed and secretly thought, could it be that his good character and family background are also a kind of original sin
————————
After the grand court meeting was over, a routine small meeting was held, and finally His Majesty the Emperor held a smaller private family meeting with the First Prince, the Third Prince, and Fan Xian. Fan Xian walked out of the lofty imperial city, and with a gentle smile on his face, he apologized to the butler of the Hu Mansion who was waiting for him, saying that there was a sudden emergency in the mansion today, and the drinking would have to be another day.
Sitting in the carriage back home, Fujiko Jing found that the young master seemed to be in a really good mood today, his eyes were always smiling, and the corners of his lips were always curved, just like the moon. Thinking of what his wife has been urging recently, he asked cautiously: "Master..."
Fan Xian turned his head and glanced at him, and listened to his most loyal servant whispering softly. After listening for a long time, he finally realized that everyone in the Teng family looked at some households, relying on the prestige of the Fan family, to go out to do business. After leaving Xiaoguan, I felt a little itchy.
In today's Fan Mansion, all chores are basically left to Teng Zijing and his wife. Having this idea was something Fan Xian had expected. He looked at Teng Zijing, smiled and said: "Today is the ninth year of Qingli, since it is already five years late, there is no point in going out again."
Fujiko Jing didn't understand what the young master said, so he stopped with a smile.
Back at the mansion, Fan Xian lifted his skirt and walked in with the wind, still maintaining a gentle and friendly smile on his face. All the servants and servants felt happy watching this scene. Fan Xian was used to buying people's hearts, not to mention that everyone in the whole family was not proud of him. Seeing the young master happy, these servants were naturally happy too.
The third butler followed Teng Zijing and followed Fan Xian to the garden, and said softly, "The young lady from the Wang family is here, and I heard that she is going to formally become a teacher, and judging by the young master's mood, it should be right, what should we prepare? "
Fujiko Jing didn't turn his face away, smiled as unpredictable and profound as Fan Xian, and said: "Miss Wang... It's been a miserable day."
"Why?" The third housekeeper asked in surprise.
Fujiko Jing said with a dark face: "The young master is in a bad mood today... an unprecedented bad mood."
…
…
As expected, he was indeed a smart person who saw Fan Xian's brilliant future in Danzhou, and he was indeed worthy of being Fan Xian's closest confidant. The development of the situation was just as Fujiko Jing expected. Not long after Fan Xian walked into the study with a smile, the The savage Miss Wang ran out of the study crying.
Wang Tong'er was crying and cursing loudly, looking extremely miserable, and he didn't know what Fan Xian had done to her. The girl seemed to think that the study was not a place for people to stay, so she walked all the way covering her face, tears flying in the air.
It is all the way tears into poetry, or the posture of the pear flower.
And behind her, the Kyoto defense general Shi Fei who came here on purpose today also came out of the study angrily, and walked out of the mansion, muttering something, as if he hadn't expected that Fan Xian would even touch his own. No face.
Fujiko Jing looked at the stunned third housekeeper, and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know what happened in the palace."
After receiving the news, the daughters of Fan's mansion rushed to the study room, only to find out along the way that in the study room, Fan Xian gave that girl Wang Tong'er a good lesson very harshly, and in the end even wanted to use a whip.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that this action would offend the Yanjing faction of the military a lot, especially for such a big figure as the garrison commander of the capital, who came in person for Wang Tonger's entry into the palace, which gave Fan Xian enough face , who would have thought that Fan Xian would not show any face to the other party.
The smile on Fan Xian's face was strange. He looked at Wan'er, Sisi, and the little Princess Roujia in the study, and said, "Nothing happened. It was agreed in advance. If you come into my door, you will be able to get a job." To receive two whips is to repay the original crime."
Lin Wan'er gasped and wondered if Xianggong had lost his mind today. The so-called retaliation is of course just a joke, but how could it become true.
Fan Xian suppressed his smile, and said softly, "It's not a joke, it's just a matter of ethics. This kind of thing always needs to be respected."
"But you can't fight in front of General Shi." Lin Wan'er glanced at him helplessly, and she had already wisely guessed that something must have happened in the palace, which made Fan Xian vent his anger on Wang Tong'er on the head.
But in today's world, there is only one person who can give Fan Xian anger and keep him from venting it outside the residence.
"These words are all told to me by your good uncle."
Lin Wan'er was annoyed, and said, "That's your own father."
The couple were talking about His Majesty the Emperor. The problem was that although everyone knew that Fan Xian was the emperor's illegitimate son, no one dared to tell the truth. Fan Xian and his wife spoke very smoothly on the bed, but at this time there were other people in the study.
Especially Princess Roujia, who was full of embarrassment and didn't know how to respond.
Lin Wan'er sighed, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, she stepped forward and said softly, "What did His Majesty say to make you so angry?"
Fan Xian sat down with a headache, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty wants to marry Ruoruo."
Roujia rolled her eyes, said slightly happily: "This is a good thing."
Fan Xian glanced at her and said, "Do you think you should point it to your brother this time?" His face darkened, and he said, "Your Majesty asked me privately today, and it seems that he wants to point Ruoruo to He Zongwei."
As soon as these words came out, the room was full of shock, silence, and tension—tense tension.
…
…
Lin Wan'er's heart was beating extremely fast, fearing what Fan Xian would do when she was angry, she frowned slightly, and said beforehand, "How did this happen?"
These words were not following Fan Xian's hair. Influenced by Fan Xian, everyone in the Fan family looked down on He Zongwei, especially Lin Wan'er. On the one hand, she thought about the downfall of her father in Wuzhou, and on the other hand, she learned from Fan Xian that He Zongwei had some thoughts about Ruoruo back then.
In fact, back then He Zongwei was a dignified talent in the capital, the young Mu Shaoai, it was not wrong to like Ruoruo, but Fan Xian just found it extremely disgusting. After the meeting in the Imperial Study Room today, when the emperor mentioned the meaning of marriage, Fan Xian became angry on the spot, and had a big fight with the emperor, but in the end, the emperor used the role of emperor and minister, and the righteousness of father and son, to suppress him.
"He Zongwei... his character is not good." Of course, Rou Jia hoped that Fan Ruoruo could become her sister-in-law, no matter from which point of view, she would fight for her brother Hongcheng.
Listening to Roujia's soft-spoken, blushing criticism, Fan Xian couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his mood improved a lot.
"Your Majesty doesn't think Mr. He is of poor character." Fan Xian calmed down and said, "In His Majesty's eyes, He Zongwei is a talented person, and now he is a high-ranking official, and he is absolutely loyal to him. Of course It is worthy of Ruoruo."
In fact, if they put aside their prejudices, many people would think that Mr. He and Fan Ruoruo are a match made in heaven, because the so-called character and official rank, in fact, they all know that He Zongwei is only doing things for His Majesty, and he is actually a loyal minister.
But there was one thing that Fan Xian still couldn't figure out. When he was thinking about His Royal Highness accepting the side concubine in Qingzhou, he once thought that His Majesty the Emperor now trusts and loves him very much, and he knows that for Ruoruo's marriage back then, he would spare no effort Hongcheng has become a generation of prostitutes, so he probably wouldn't forcefully arrange a marriage to seduce him - but now His Majesty would propose to marry Ruoruo to He Zongwei, what exactly is he thinking
"Since your majesty is asking you in private, it means you know that you will object. It's just a temptation." Lin Wan'er immediately calmed down and began to analyze all of this, "You shouldn't confront your majesty, you don't know your majesty's temperament , the more fiercely you object, the more he wants to do this."
"I'm just angry that Your Majesty is so confused. Do you think that if you forcefully point to this marriage, there will be peace and drizzle in the court?" Fan Xian woke up from his contemplation, and a light flashed in his mind, as if vaguely caught live something.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his pupils, his voice was suppressed into a cold line: "He Zongwei, I don't care. If he really dares to come to propose marriage, I will chop him up with a knife."
