The nights in Kyoto are a little quieter than the nights when the Northern Qi went to Beijing. It seems that the people of Qing Kingdom are not used to the so-called prosperous years, so most of the time, they are still used to staying at home at night. Of course, those flower boats on the Liujing River, the brothels in the west of the city Not in this class.
Fan Xian walked forward slowly in the night with his hands behind his back. Deng Ziyue followed him for a few steps with a box in his arms. Suddenly Fan Xian stopped, beckoned to the dark places in front of him and behind him, and hid in the darkness. The officials of the Overwatch Council, who were responsible for protecting his safety, appeared out of nowhere.
"Everyone in the capital knows that you are by my side, so why deliberately stay in the dark." Fan Xian said with a smile.
Deng Ziyue explained with a wry smile: "The court officials don't like to see the spies of the Overwatch Council on the street, and the common people also feel a sense of fear... I'm afraid it will affect the adults badly."
Fan Xian understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "You always walk on the roof of other people's houses, aren't you afraid of disturbing other people's sleep?"
All the subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, but they also came to the street according to Master Tisi's wishes. These people were all officials who were not very successful in the Overwatch Council. When Wang Qinian was ordered to form the Qi Nian team, he put a lot of thought into finding suitable people. Now the people in the Qi Nian team follow Fan Tisi, and they are proud of themselves in the courtyard. No matter where they go to explain their official duties in the Eight Great Offices, the other party is always respectful and respectful. A stipend, this change made them feel very lucky to follow Fan Tisi.
It was almost midnight, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. Deng Ziyue rushed forward a few steps, put a thin black windbreaker on Fan Xian, and then immediately retreated to his place. A group of seven or eight people walked forward, all wearing black single clothes specially made by the Overwatch Council, with the hem above the knees. The material is not very reflective, giving it a gloomy look.
Under the moonlight, the group of people was maintaining a very interesting distance, silently and synchronously guarding Fan Xian in the center, walking forward, the silver light was like snow, and the black clothes were like ink.
※※※
On the second day, Fan Xian went to the building next to Tianhe Avenue - Overwatch Council.
All the way he walked in, there were officials from the Overwatch Council with calm faces bowing to him.
"Master Tisi, good morning."
"Morning Fan Tisi."
He responded one by one with a smile, and walked towards the room behind the courtyard without stopping. Push the door and enter, and then find that the seven leaders of the Eight Great Offices have arrived.
Fan Xian bowed slightly, bowed his hands and bowed to everyone. The seven bosses didn't dare to be too big, so they quickly stood up and bowed back, especially Yan Ruohai, who was looking at Fan Xian, looked happy and slightly grateful. He wanted to be at peace with Yan Bingyun and his son at home in the past two days, and he was in a good mood. , only Chen Pingping sat on the wheelchair at the end of the long table and looked at him with a half-smile.
He coughed, and sat down on the seat on Chen Pingping's right. Somewhat unexpectedly, he didn't see the teacher. As if guessing what he was thinking, Chen Pingping gently stroked her knees with both hands, and said softly in a sharp voice: "He went to Jiangnan to have fun, and I can't control him."
Fan Xian smiled, lowered his voice, looked ahead, and said, "When are you going out to play?"
Chen Pingping glanced at him and said, "That depends on when you are able to take over."
※※※
The Overwatch Council seldom had such meetings, and it happened that Fan Xian met them both times when he came here. Of course, these two meetings have something to do with him. After listening to Fan Xian's report on the trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty, all the officials were relieved. As long as the secret spy network in the north was not fatally destroyed, everything else would not matter.
As for Fan Xian's nomination of Wang Qinian to temporarily handle the affairs of the North, no one had much objection. On the one hand, Fan Xian has this power as a commissioner, and on the other hand, Wang Qinian's seniority in the court is long enough. Fighting, I am afraid that he is also the leader of a party now, since he followed Fan Tisi by chance, it is not an outrageous move for Fan Tisi to promote his own people to a higher level. Thirdly, the stall in the north is really a dangerous business, just look at what happened to the son of the master Yan.
But the personnel arrangement in the courtyard announced next was a bit beyond everyone's expectations—the officials in the courtyard always thought that after Zhuge committed suicide in one place, the reason why the dean didn't ask someone to take it over was because The only thing is to wait for Mr. Xiaoyan to take over after returning to the country. He didn't expect that in the appointment announced by the dean, Yan Bingyun would be the leader of the four places. If he goes to the four places, who will manage that place? Where is Master Yan Ruohai
Chen Pingping raised her eyes feebly: "Ruohai has been in the yard for a long time, and I'm a little tired, so please resign from the four posts, and send a letter to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow, so I can find a job in Beijing to support the elderly." It seems that Chen Pingping is not very I am glad that Yan Ruohai asked to resign, but Yan Ruohai has been worried about his son's life every day this year, and he is really tired of the life in the courtyard. In addition, he himself knows that it is impossible for the eight major departments in the courtyard to let him go. Two leaders of his own Yan family appeared at the same time. In order to make room for Yan Bingyun, he had to resign first.
The head of the eight major divisions of the Overwatch Council may seem to be of low rank, but in fact he is a position with great power in his hands. Even the ministers of various ministries would not dare to offend easily.
Fan Xian glanced at Yan Ruohai, and found that the corners of his eyes were indeed a little tired, and there was a hint of relief and joy.
Now that the dean and Mr. Yan have arranged for the backup of the fourth division, everyone stopped talking. At this time, the leader of the second division asked: "The position of the first division has been vacant for so long, and someone has to take care of it. Tie..." He shook his head: "Loyalty is naturally the same, but this adult can only flatter, and his ability is still weak. One is one of the most critical departments in the courtyard. He is in charge of the supervision of officials in Beijing. A competent person will do."
Several other bosses also nodded and said yes, one is the most glamorous position in the Eight Great Offices, since these bosses of the Eight Great Offices don't retreat like Yan Ruohai, naturally everyone wants to go further.
Chen Pingping turned her head slowly, glanced at Fan Xian, who still had a suspicious expression on her face, and said, "From now on, there will be no leader in one place, and Fan Tisi will take full control of it."
This is a light word, but it is extremely heavy in the hearts of everyone. Everyone immediately dispelled all the desire to fight for power and profit in their hearts. They dare not fight with anyone, and they dare not fight with Fan Tisi. He is the boss of people like himself. , it is obvious that the big man who will take over from Dean Chen's class in the future will also be in charge of one department at this time, who dares to talk too much
But everyone felt awe-inspiring, the power of the commissioner was seldom restricted, and now Mr. Fan is in charge of one department, and the affairs of that department no longer need to be arranged by the courtyard, but other departments have to cooperate with one department. In this way, the status of one place will probably be raised by another half level—in other words, Fan Tisi is the monarch of one place, and he will do what he says in one place!
Fan Xian was also a little surprised, why Chen Pingping let herself manage one place, turned to look at him and said, "Dean, I am already very reluctant to be the commissioner. I'm afraid it won't be good for the hospital affairs... "
Chen Pingping set the tone with one sentence: "I don't have experience in specific affairs, so I give you one place just to let you gain some experience."
※※※
After the meeting, all the subordinates in the court congratulated Fan Xian one after another, but the Overwatch Council always had a better official atmosphere than other departments in the court, so Fan Xian didn't hear too many unsightly flattery. When the officials left, Yan Ruohai stayed behind and thanked Fan Xian.
Fan Xian felt a little bit ashamed that no one knew about, and he quickly said with a smile, "I hit it off with Bingyun immediately, and besides, they are both hospital affairs, so I really didn't do much, Mr. Yan, please don't say that, you are ashamed of the younger generation."
Seeing that he didn't take credit, Yan Ruohai admired this young nobleman even more. He smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "In a few days, I will post a post to invite Mr. Fan to come to your house."
"Definitely, definitely." Fan Xian would not refuse, and wondered what Miss Shen looked like in Yan Mansion now.
…
…
Only Chen Pingping and Fan Xian were left in the room.
"Huo Nao Tai." Chen Pingping looked at him with a frown, "I know that Bing Yun has a calm mind, and he will never bring that woman back to the capital. I think this was all your idea."
Everyone in the world is afraid of Chen Pingping, but Fan Xian always plays the role of a junior in front of him, screaming and saying: "My lord, this has nothing to do with the lower officials. The mission will stay in the princess's car all the time, I can't forcefully drag it down and kill it."
Chen Pingping squinted her eyes and said, "On the way back to Beijing, I kept the black rider following the mission. If you hadn't signaled it, how could that woman break into the mission alone?"
Fan Xian choked, not knowing how to explain it, and sighed after a while, "It's not a bad relationship."
Chen Pingping loved this young man very much from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't bear to blame him, so she scolded: "Why did you let the Qi Nian team reveal their whereabouts?"
Fan Xian knew that he couldn't hide this from the other party, so he had already thought about an answer, and said with a smile, "Because I want to make the yard more open and upright, and I'll shrink in the dark all the time, so there's no need for so many people to be afraid of us."
"Fair and fair?" Chen Pingping frowned and said, "It's good that you have such thoughts."
Fan Xian pulled up the blanket on his lap for him, and said softly, "Take your time, don't worry."
