Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The rain kept fallingThe flowers in the Jingdou gardens had long blooation of the Ministry of Revenue, the Palace was still waiting for a resultThis placed a burden on the court officialsThey understood clearly that whomever wanted to topple the Ministry of Revenue had to fall firstWithout even needing the far away Sir Fan junior to speak out, Sir Fan senior in the capital had showed enough truation went back and forthNo one wanted it to fall on the? Furthermore, the Crown Prince had already been a stupid example
In officialdom, the most powerful was the Emperor's wordsSecond, was the so-called unwritten rulesThe Ministry of Revenue aying between these twoNo matter how much it swayed, it refused to fall
Fan Jian refused to resign and resolve thisthat the Emperor was prepared to offer nobility as a show of his compensation, the Fan family still held outFor a reat admiration for Fan Jian's confidence
In reality, Fan Jian was not holding out with all his h officials and the Crown Prince began to turn his gaze to other things, such as self-preservation or dragging a few of his brothers under the water, the Minister of Revenue had not returned to the Ministry of Revenue yaan to leisurely drink tea in his manor, went to the residence to look at the mountains and rivers, and occasionally went to friendly manors to have a chat
It was not appropriate for him to visit other ation was at a critical junctureHe did not want to bring trouble to othersOthers also did not dare to be too close to hi's er's own son, her youngest son, and the Eer brotherAll these years, he had been silent, well-behaved, and planted his flowersThe Palace all knehat this attitude showed so never bothered hiood teriven King Jing's personality, there was nothing he was afraid of
One day, Fan Jian entered the Palace and talked deeply and sincerely with the EhtHe sincerely confessed his thoughts to the Emperor
He analyzed it from all directions and believed it was best for him to continue in the post of Minister of RevenueOn this question, he did not conceal anything froive up his post, not to zealously continue fighting[JW1]In this seely simple, but really very complicated situation, Fan Jian analyzed hied the Eate the Ministry of RevenueThis was the best choice for the Qing Kingdo of the virtuous, even if it was oneself, such straightforwardness and uprightness, even the Ehtly surprised
The next day, it was said King Jing also went into the PalaceIt was ru tiued with the old uer and the Ehts of the operaAs they were eating er told the E the PalaceThe Eer'swas clear, it was the same as when Fan Xian first entered the capitalThe Fan family has done a lot for the Li family, so they couldn't be treated too unfairlyBesides, if the youngest were to come to the Palace every day and ood…randsons had probably all done soation of the Ministry of Revenue had gotten to the royal fanity?
Minister Fan had always thought that the Emperor would care more about face than the officials, but he had not expected that the first to be ashaerHowever, the effect was h, in order to protect the court's propriety, it did not explicitly withdraw the i the excuse of state affairs, the Eation unit back to their original departation against the Ministry of Revenue weakened greatly
The officials collectively let out a breathAs the saying went, you are fine, I am fine, we are all fineIt was court that tried not to offend each otherWhy make it so that parties could not co-exist?
Everyone knew in their hearts that the reduction in intensity of the Ministry of Revenue investigation certainly had so hadof this, the officials couldn't help feeling it was a bit odd
Fanmanor, which was known to allHowever, noas not like the pastAt the beginning of autumn last year, there seemed to be some problems between the two familiesFirst, Fan Xian and the Second Prince's battle iLater, the lady of the Fan family was, to the shock of everyone, accepted as a disciple by the Northern Qi Ie between the two fa entered the Palace? Have the two families repaired the relationshi+p as it was before? The civil andmore and more that Fan Jian had unfathomable depths
However, at the sa personnel appointas promoted to Iating the Ministry of Revenue
He Zongas, back then, talented and fa, one of the Fan's four disciplesBecause he had always been on good terms with Guo Baokun and had connections with the Board of Rites, he had delayed his steps going into official service to avoid talkHe waited until the spring exa calendar but was forced to give up the examination due to the death of a relative
So, this famous and talented individual never participated in the imperial examinationsIn people's hearts, his luck was indeed extrewei's luck was extreood terms with the Guo family, met the Crown Prince, and his fa of the fifth year of the Qing calendar, he was ”coincidentally” implicated in the matter of the previous Prime Minister's fallIn the end, he was spotted by the Emperor and jumped over layers and layers of processes and directly bestowed the title of Imperial Censorate by imperial edict
Everyone knew that this was only because He Zongas a person good at swaying froht teamFor one moment, he stood on the Crown Prince's side, and in another, he stood on Xinyang's sideHowever, now he had becoure, yet he made it to such a positionPeople couldn't help but be shocked and speechlessWhy did the Ereat appreciation of this person?
Actually, it was not like there wasn't precedent for such a thingFan Xian was younger than He Zongwei, held a higher position, had more power, and was more famous
The problem was that everyone no that Sir Fan junior was secretly a prince and was famous for both his e for him to have the position he did todayBut, as it about He Zongwei?
So that perhaps the Eitiuessed, in the end, this old talent of Jingdou, who had long been hidden in the Second Prince's carriage, in the Eldest Princess' manor, and in the Imperial Censor's study, was finally about to officially step onto the stage of history and would radiate light and heat for , handsome, talentedHe had status and the Eaze like a newly risen sun, while Fan Xian was probably the black hole that would s the sunNo one would believe that last year, Fan Xian had punched this now popular wei's lifelong humiliationHe knew that Sir Fan junior far held hihly of his for the Emperor
…
…
The situation that left the Crown Prince in terrible shape was finally being resolved, although, he still had to find a way to sht, in the Hanguang Palace, the e hirandmother was able to help protect hiain
The Crown Prince was regretfulIn the two years after Fan Xian entered the capital, he had been doing wellHe ell-behaved and quiet, and even played around oo was rather preposterous and had left a nu of this, he began to feel hatred for the Minister of Revenue who had grabbed these loose ends tightly and caused him such painThat Fan family!
Compared to the Second Prince that he had hated with intensity in the past, the Crown Prince decided that within the next few years, his biggest eneardless of whether it was the senior or the junior
Thethe Ministry of Revenue had already forced the Eastern Palace and Fan family into close coardless of whether or not the Crown Prince wished to resolve this peacefully, given Fan Jian intelligence, he knew that after the Crown Prince inherited, the Fan family would have to suffer the consequences
The Crown Prince was not the Es for the old woman far away in Danzhou
As for Fan Xian, because of the Ye fao, this was an irreconcilable hatredThe Crown Prince did not have hope that Fan Xian would stand on his side, in fact, he did not even have hope that he would not oppose hi the throne
Since the main dilemma had been established, all the other problems were minor onesAll the past unhappiness could be wiped away by the wave of a handSo, when his trusted aide sent word that the Second Prince had invited hiht for a estion
He smiled coldly and knew that that second elder brother of his also realized that if they were to defeat Fan Xian, it would not be enough to depend on their oerThere was only one chairWhether it was the Crown Prince's or the Second Prince's, everyone could draw their daggers and fight for it afterAt the moment, they had to ensure that this chair did not end up beneath the Third Prince's butt
In the current situation, these two sons of the EetherThey had to unite all the power they could to be able to strike at that bastard far away in Jiangnan
On Liujing River, the spring was as heavy as a wo war
On a pleasure boat, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince drank and laughed, enjoying the scenery and the beautyIt was like there had not been any unhappiness between them these few years
The Second Prince actively extended his hand and naturally expressed his position firstHe first expressed his apology for the dishonorable action of Minister Yan Hangshu, who had struck while the Crown Prince was down during the investigation of the Ministry of Revenue
Of course, he would not say it explicitlyAlthough the Emperor was sometimes a bit stupid, ht hint to understand
The Crown Prince also sighed, saying that after Fan Xian entered the Palace, his pressure on him had lessened
The brother's met each other's eyesBoth saw the faint worry and helplessness in each other
Fan Xian held toobehind him were also too powerfulMore importantly, it see toward his side
Li Chengping, the Third Prince had long been at Fan Xian's sideWhat exactly did father ement?
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince sank into silence at the same time
In the end, it was the Second Prince who slowly opened his hness, I heard that Fan Xian had opened a branch of the Baoyue Brothel in SuzhouThe two girls in it are very fa while the other is rather interestingI heard…she is a female slave from eldest brother's ritted his teethHe gave a cold huff and said, ”That big brother of oursDidn't he speak for Fan Xian that day in the royal study? Looks like he is truly afraid of that Great Princess from Northern Qi…second brother, you've always been friendly with eldest brother, why didn't you see he is such a henpecker?”
