His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and all the people outside the Fan Mansion were evacuated. This is the power possessed by a feudal king. He can do things according to his temperament. As for those who died because of the war between their father and son Who cares about the subordinates and courtiers outside Fan's mansion
It was not quiet in the imperial study room. After Master Hu left, His Majesty the Emperor began to play chess with Fan Ruoruo. This was a living habit developed in recent days. Emperor Qing gently picked up a sunspot with his middle index finger, placed it on the slightly reflective chessboard, and said in a harmonious voice, "It looks like Fan Jian didn't teach you this in the mansion."
Fan Ruoruo has been in the palace for eight full days, and she is wearing the homely clothes that Fan Mansion has worked so hard to send through several empresses in the palace. They should be mostly plain, and it looks a bit incongruous with this splendid palace. light. Although everyone knows that Miss Fan's family is a hostage in the palace, but this hostage's identity is not bad, and His Majesty treats her even better. Princess Chen is working outside the palace, and there are nobles in the palace to take care of her. There is no big problem with food, daily life and clothing.
She sat respectfully opposite Emperor Qing, put her hands lightly on her knees, and replied: "The chess game is too complicated..."
His Majesty the Emperor slightly raised his eyes, and asked interestingly: "I remember that before An Zhi entered Beijing, you were already a famous talented woman in Beijing."
"It's just that those Lu men who are making trouble for nothing like to make irresponsible remarks. I can't write poetry or paint. I really don't know where this talented woman's reputation comes from."
In the eight days since entering the palace, from being nervous and helpless at the beginning to being calm and calm now, Fan Ruoruo has fully released Bingshan's calmness. Over the years, the man on the opposite side was the emperor of the Qing Kingdom, but after all, he was still alone, not a monster.
Of course, it was also because His Majesty the Emperor acted like an ordinary person in front of Fan Ruoruo.
"I've read your poems, and they're not bad in the boudoir, but compared with An Zhi, it's not easy to compare, so it's no wonder you say so." His Majesty said with a smile: "Talent doesn't lie in displaying all kinds of abilities. But because of the firmness of your heart, you can save my life, you can be regarded as a rejuvenation, and you can be called a talented woman."
"Your Majesty's blessings are equal to the heavens, and my ministers are just..." Fan Ruoruo responded naturally according to the tone of the conversation before the emperor, but unexpectedly, the emperor laughed and said: "Of course you can't die, but there is more in your body." Steel balls must not be too comfortable."
At this moment, Eunuch Yao quietly entered the Imperial Study Room, stood in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and said softly, "One person died in the Qing Temple, and they are waiting in the front hall right now."
"Waiting? Is it waiting for crime?" His Majesty the Emperor gently played with the black matte chess pieces, his voice became cold, and said: "I forgive them this time, if they make any rash moves again, let them go to Dadongshan to jump off the cliff by themselves go."
Eunuch Yao responded in a low voice, and said again: "After Mr. Fan left Qingmiao, he went to Taixue and met with Master Hu."
After a moment of silence, the emperor smiled and said, "I already knew that, at the Qing Temple... the shadow has returned."
Eunuch Yao remained silent. Regarding these matters, he had no right to make any suggestions. He understood His Majesty's intentions very well. He would never be as confused as those ascetic monks wearing hats. Who is Fan Xian? He is His Majesty's most beloved courtier, an illegitimate son, even if His Majesty wants Fan Xian to die, it is impossible for the following people to act on their own.
"The problem is that we still don't know how Mr. Fan left the Fan Mansion, and how he entered the Qing Temple, and for a period of time in between, we don't know where he went." Eunuch Yao said, leaning slightly.
Emperor Qing frowned slightly, without saying anything, he waved his hand to let Eunuch Yao leave the imperial study. During this conversation, Fan Ruoruo has been listening quietly to the side. Eunuch Yao did not avoid her, because these days the servants in the palace have already gotten used to the fact that His Majesty always has such a handsome face , the woman with a sense of tranquility and coldness all over her body was listening. Whether it was a meeting in the imperial study room or more important political affairs, His Majesty would not avoid her.
It's just that what we're talking about today is Fan Xian, her dearest brother, so Fan Ruoruo still lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't want to hear these things, and she didn't want His Majesty to notice anything strange.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't glance in her direction, but remained silent. After a while, the Emperor suddenly smiled slightly. The inner court did not find any evidence of what Fan Xian did when he left the mansion today, but at least he knew that the shadow from the Sixth Office of the Overwatch Council had returned, and that in the Qing Temple, more than a dozen ascetic monks fought with these two men. field.
Thinking of those bald ascetic monks, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly faded, and a trace of disgust appeared in his eyes. He never expected that these fanatical monks of the Qing Temple would dare to attack Fan Xian without asking for orders. This made Emperor Qing feel quite displeased.
But thinking of the real leader of the Sixth Office of the Overwatch Council, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, but showed a trace of interest. Chen Pingping has served him for decades, but has kept many of her secrets. In the past, because the emperor believed in his loyalty, he didn't care about anything, so although he knew that there was always a shadow floating around the black wheelchair, Emperor Qing Didn't go deep into the real origin of that shadow.
Now I naturally know that there is a light in front of the emperor's eyes, which is the sword light stabbed by the white swordsman in the Hanging Temple a few years ago. He faintly hoped that this young brother of Si Gu Jian would do something.
There is no need to think about what Fan Xian did when he was out of the palace today. The emperor knew that Fan Xian must have contacted his most trusted subordinates in the capital today, and at the same time sent messages in the directions of Xiliang, Dongyi and Jiangnan. Went to some extremely important information.
This is a very simple matter, and the general situation is such that if Fan Xian wants to continue to maintain his independence in the face of the coercion of the dragon chair, he must mobilize all his strength. However, His Majesty the Emperor didn't bother to pay attention to the specific content of those messages, because in his opinion, no matter how much Fan Xian danced, he was still above this country.
This piece of land was originally in the hands of Emperor Qing.
…
…
Moreover, the emperor was very curious about what kind of things his beloved and admired son could do under house arrest in the capital. If he was facing Ye Qingmei back then, for the sake of the common people in this country, for the survival of the entire Qing Kingdom, and for the wishes of too many people, maybe there was no need to say anything at all, Ye Qingmei would just be silent Gone far away, it ceased to exist on the land of the Qing Kingdom. And what choice will he and Ye Qingmei's son make? This is a point of great interest to His Majesty the Emperor.
Is this the bad taste of quietly watching the struggle of the next generation with absolute confidence? In fact, it's just that His Majesty the Emperor hasn't thought about driving Fan Xian into the abyss until now, because in his opinion, this son just misunderstood him.
His Majesty the Emperor just didn't want to explain, he didn't bother to explain, it was a process of questioning his heart, he sat domineeringly in the palace, waiting for Fan Xian to enter the palace to explain, to plead guilty, and then, His Majesty would tell Fan Xian in harmony Xian, the old black dog who died was not as loving as you imagined. That old black dog just wanted to kill the entire Li family, and it also killed you. Although your surname is Fan, in fact It's surnamed Li.
and so on? But how to explain what happened to Ye Qingmei? Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to touch that aspect at all.
"I want to go out for a walk." His Majesty the Emperor said. Although his voice was very calm, it was obvious that His Majesty had some confidence in dealing with Fan Xian's matter because of what University Fellow Hu said when he entered the palace. The mood is relatively relaxed, so I think of going out in such a late night.
There were only two people in the imperial study room. His Majesty's words were naturally meant for Fan Ruoruo. Fan Ruoruo was slightly startled, stood up, took a thin cloak lined with black fur and gold silk, carefully put it on for His Majesty the Emperor, then supported his right arm, and walked slowly to the wooden door of the royal study.
As soon as the wooden door opened, there were already more than a dozen eunuchs and maids waiting outside. Eunuch Yao humbly lowered his body and waited pushing a wheelchair. It took a very short time and the response was very fast.
However, the emperor looked at the wheelchair outside the threshold, but did not show the slightest expression of appreciation on his face. He just gave Eunuch Yao a cold look, ignored the servants outside the door, and with Fan Ruoruo's support, he walked towards the night sky. to the palace.
His Majesty gave him a cold look, and eunuch Yao's body was covered with cold sweat. It has been eight days, but not many people know that the battle between the emperor and his subjects in the imperial study room that day caused His Majesty the Emperor to be seriously injured. Although his life was not threatened, the Emperor's body was still short-sighted. With the damage that cannot be recovered within a short period of time, coupled with Chen Pingping's heart-wrenching words that day, it seems that His Majesty's mental state is not particularly good.
That's why Eunuch Yao prepared this wheelchair, but he didn't expect His Majesty to be extremely displeased. He immediately reacted, whether it was because he didn't want his courtiers to know the real condition of his body, or because the thought of this wheelchair made His Majesty angry and painful. The old dean and eunuch Yao made a big mistake today.
This kind of mistake cannot be made, and fortunately His Majesty the Emperor is a master who is more lenient to his servants than his relatives, and will not easily transfer his anger, so Eunuch Yao does not have to worry about his own safety.
He wiped the cold sweat off his brow, led a group of eunuchs and maids, and followed quietly, watching Miss Fan's family in front of him gently supporting His Majesty forward, and no one dared to get too close.
…
…
The lights hanging in the corridors of the palace are not bright, they are just used to illuminate the bluestone road under your feet. In the past, once it was dark, the nobles would stay in the palace, and only those eunuchs and maids who had to do things would stay in the palace. Walk on these quiet promenades. Today's dim light shone on His Majesty the Emperor and Fan Ruoruo, casting long or short shadows, which made the eunuchs and maids who met on the road feel shudder, and quickly knelt down beside the road.
Just as Eunuch Yao guessed, the emperor's previous displeasure was precisely because of the wheelchair at the door of the imperial study. Once he saw this wheelchair, His Majesty naturally thought that in the past few decades, the person who sat in the wheelchair The old black dog, often in the dead of night, walked side by side with him in the palace, talking about the general trend of the world, royal strife, drawing up plans, and estimating the number of dead.
Emperor Qing is a human being, he misses those scenes very much, and because of this, because of Chen Pingping's betrayal, these beautiful scenes worth remembering suddenly became more strange and unbelievable, so he felt angry.
In addition to anger, there was a trace of complicated emotions in his heart. A few years ago, due to the Hanging Temple incident, Fan Xian was seriously injured and almost died. After recovering from his injuries, that young man also entered the palace in a wheelchair on a winter snowy day, and had a long, long discussion with His Majesty the Emperor.
That was the first time His Majesty the Emperor had a conversation with Fan Xian. Although the relationship between them was still not specified like the one in the small building, it was also an extremely important meeting for Emperor Qing.
When he saw the wheelchair tonight, he thought of Chen Pingping and Fan Xian after his injury. His emotions became complicated, and he said slowly: "The reason why I want to cut that old dog to death is because this person is ruthless." To the extreme, the hypocrisy to the extreme."
Fan Ruoruo supported his arm, keeping a distance, and didn't think it was too hard, but when he heard this sentence, he felt that His Majesty's body was as heavy as Mount Tai. The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, especially the rebellion of the old dean Chen, it is clear that no one can question His Majesty about this matter, except Fan Xian... More importantly, His Majesty does not need to explain at all What, just like in the past few days, he never thought of taking the initiative to explain anything to Fan Xian, but on such an early autumn night, when it was just him and His Majesty, His Majesty spoke up.
Are these words meant for myself, or do I want to use my own mouth to say them to my brother? Fan Ruoruo lowered her head slightly, but didn't answer, but kept thinking in her heart.
"That old dog deliberately died in my hands in the end, in order to make Anzhi resent me and hate me. How can I allow such a vicious person who will never forget his death." The emperor's voice was a little tired, Looking back at Fan Ruoruo, she turned her head again, looked at the quiet Night Palace, and said, "Tomorrow I will order Anzhi to enter the palace to pay his respects."
Fan Ruoruo's figure was slightly condensed, she held His Majesty's arm with one hand, squatted slightly, blessed her, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was expressionless, and he didn't seem to think that in this cold war, he had to give way first, but still asked the daughter of the courtier's family to express his gratitude, but what moved him a little was that Miss Fan's family said this After three words, he didn't express any more, just supported his arm steadily, and continued to walk in the palace, without mentioning his leaving the palace.
"You... are different." The emperor turned his head and gave her a deep look, "I used to come and wander around the palace with Miss Chen, but she became less common when she got older, and she is much more naughty than you."
"Of course I'm not as good as my sister-in-law." Fan Ruoruo replied softly with her head bowed. The emperor smiled and didn't say anything. He felt that the little girl next to him was extremely indifferent and self-confident, but it was pitiful. Since Lin Wan'er grew up, there were probably few people who would accompany her like a "real" junior. For the emperor, because the emperor has no family, in the hearts of the princes who are alive or dead, the father... is absolutely impossible to be a real father.
And in Fan Ruoruo's heart, he was also full of doubts and feelings. After getting along these days, this strange and majestic Emperor seemed to have gradually stepped down from the altar, and also took off the dazzling golden coat outside. He became more like an ordinary elder, or an elder who was gradually showing signs of aging after being seriously injured.
…
…
In the quiet night palace, Miss Fan supported His Majesty for a walk. This scene fell into the eyes of many people, and this was not the first time that people discovered that His Majesty treated Miss Fan's abnormally. Since His Majesty was injured in the imperial study, Since the Miss Fan family entered the palace for treatment, everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty treated this lady differently.
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence knows that Miss Fan's identity is now a hostage, but there is no such hostage in this world anymore. The rules of life in the palace follow the rules of Princess Chen back then, except for returning to the palace at night. Except for rest, this Miss Fan family would accompany His Majesty in the imperial study throughout the day, and His Majesty would not even avoid her when discussing state affairs.
The senior scholars of Zhongshu under the door were naturally shocked by this scene, but they were all people of status, so naturally they would not spread anything, but the senior scholar He often saw Miss Fan's family in the imperial study. , the facial expression will appear a little unnatural.
But the interior of the palace was different, there were many people talking, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. Human beings are always a very forgetful species. The eunuchs and maids in the palace may have forgotten the thunderstorm in the seventh year of Qingli, the bloody purge of the palace caused by rumors, and re-invested in the great work of gossip. middle.
Perhaps it was because too many people died three years ago. At this time, many new eunuchs and maids were recruited into the palace. They didn't know the evil hidden in the royal demeanor. Perhaps it was because His Majesty's attitude towards Miss Fan's family was really serious. It's hard to understand, so rumors about the imperial study gradually spread in the palace.
His Majesty the Emperor is a wise monarch who doesn't like women very much, and he doesn't look like a licentious master. Over the years, there are only a dozen female mistresses in the palace, and only those four have children. It is reasonable Speaking of which, no one would guess those aspects, but His Majesty's attitude towards Miss Fan's family is really different. In addition, another major event that happened in the palace in the past two days can't help but touch too many people's minds .
This big event was the draft. The draft started three days ago. The Qing Palace had suspended the draft for more than ten years, and it reopened.
No one could understand why His Majesty would suddenly have the idea of enriching the harem at this moment. Could it be that the middle-aged crisis made this monarch suddenly want to go crazy
Since three days ago, the audition activities hosted by Taichang Temple and co-organized by the inner court and the Ministry of Rites have begun. Since Qingguo is already unfamiliar with this whole set of procedures, the Ministry of Rites seems a little flustered. According to the decree, those beautiful women who might be lucky enough to be selected into the palace have not heard any news, so it is still Kyoto who started to move first.
This is a rare opportunity. Those princes, nobles, ministers and celebrities who have been dormant in the capital for a long time all want to seize this opportunity. In such a messy procedure, they still rushed to the night before the first batch of Official women of appropriate age were sent to the palace.
The palace, which has been quiet for many years, suddenly became more youthful because of the presence of those young and graceful women. Even though it was already night, there were still crisp laughter from time to time in the palace courtyard where the beautiful women lived.
The spring is full of spring, permeating the palace in early autumn. That's why people in the palace cast suspicious eyes on the imperial study. If the sacred heart is really moved, how will Miss Fan, who has won the emperor's heart, be arranged
"They're all a bunch of idiots." Concubine Yigui's eyes drooped slightly, she lightly held the third prince's hand and said with a sneer, "Who is your Majesty, and who is your teacher? Such absurd words are actually heard in this palace." .”
"Most of the palace is full of idiots, and there are too many newcomers, maybe they have forgotten a lot of things." The third prince Li Chengping smiled, but the young prince's smile was a bit far-fetched, and there was a hint of worry in the brows that were becoming clearer day by day. color.
Concubine Yigui looked at her son, sighed softly, and said: "Your Majesty is the wise master, so naturally he would not do those ridiculous things. This time, picking a beautiful girl into the palace, she broke up with the man in the imperial study. Nothing to do with it. Your father... just..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Chengping raised his head, looked at his mother and said sadly: "I heard that the emperor will call Mr. into the palace tomorrow, but the picky girl... I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to trust Mr. as he used to." .”
…
…
(For the story, it is very important for Fan Ruoruo to be in the palace, so as to prevent that person from getting less and less human. As for the draft, it is naturally a matter of reproductive machines. Emperor Qing is not a ridiculous person, but he is a man with foresight Man, it's normal for the third child to worry about this.
I bought medicine for my mother today, and went to several pharmacies, which was a bit of a delay. I am still writing, and there will be another chapter later.
