Chapter 116 115. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs

"The Supervisory Yuan intercepted a secret report. Fan Jian used his position as Minister of Household Affairs to seek personal gain and secretly transferred 50 taels of money. The Sirius Black Cavalry immediately sealed off the Fan Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will without His Majesty's order."

The Black Cavalry is the most elite armored cavalry of the Overwatch Council, and is one of the four major special operations cavalry forces of the Qing Dynasty.The fierce-looking soldiers surrounded Fan's house with weapons in hand.

Everyone could see that Fan Fei was just using the Overwatch Council to temporarily "imprison" the entire Fan family.Even the crown prince and important ministers cannot deal with the huge amount of crimes of corruption, perversion of the law, etc. According to the dynasty system, only His Majesty has the qualifications and rights to issue clear decrees.

Fan Fei's method made it difficult for people to guard against it, cutting off all possibilities directly from the source.The Fan family immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Fei returned home, and the Fan family undoubtedly had a backbone.

"Versace, kneel down!"

Just when everyone thought everything was calm, Fan Fei suddenly turned around and yelled.This anger caught people off guard. Because of Fan Fei's majesty, Versace immediately fell to his knees with a look of fear.

"Brother, me! What did I do wrong again?"

Fan Fei pointed at Versace and scolded: "What did you do wrong and you have the nerve to ask!"

Shadow took out a secret letter from his arms and delivered it to Fan Fei. He then handed it to Liu Ruyu and Fan Ruoruo.What Fan Ruoruo saw was that her eyebrows were standing upright. Liu Ruyu rushed directly to Versace after reading it, raised her hand and slapped him with a big mouth.

The force was so strong that the kneeling Versace staggered and fell to the ground.

Liu Ruyu roared at Versace: "Your elder brother promoted you so much and even asked you to join Tenglong Pavilion for training. This is how you repay him. You are not embarrassing your elder brother, but also your father's face. Even Fan The family’s face has been completely ruined by you.”

Versace picked up the secret letter that Liu Ruyu had dropped and threw it in his face with a puzzled expression.The more he looked at his face, the more confused he became, followed by pain and embarrassment of relief.

Since he became the economic director of Tenglong Pavilion, he has used his father's connections to expand his industry. This is something Fan Fei and Fan Jian tacitly approved of.The last thing Versace should do is to have a relationship with Jiangnan. The water there is bottomless. How can Versace understand this?

The Ming family in the south of the Yangtze River hid in the dark, using the appearance of a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River to win over Versace to develop the pawnshop and brothel industry.Versace only saw the bright money coming into his account, but he didn't see the ways in which the wealthy Jiangnan people used his connections to plunder the land of Jiangnan.

Fortunately, the Ming family still knew how to measure, and did not offend Fan Fei to death.Only use Versace's relationship, and did not use his name taboo.But once this kind of thing breaks out, the boiling public grievances can swallow Versace alive.

Fortunately, Chen Pingping suppressed this matter in advance, and those rich people in Jiangnan were also executed by the sixth division of the Overwatch Council, and all their property was also charged to the Economic Department.However, this matter was originally calculated by Li Yunrui and Yun Wang, which means that Versace still left behind evidence and hidden dangers.

Fan Fei said with some sadness: "Sizhe, I treat you and Fan Xian the same. You are the legitimate son of the Fan family, and you will definitely inherit the entire Fan family's inheritance in the future. There are me and your second brother in Qing. Take care of me, at worst you will be a minister of household affairs in the future, even if you love money, you cannot be so eager for quick success."

"Tell me! Are you wrong?"

Liu Ruyu and Fan Ruoruo didn't dare to interrupt, let alone ask for mercy.This matter is so big that only Fan Jian and Fan Fei are qualified to handle it.No matter what Versace's situation is today, Liu Ruyu, as the biological mother, can only accept it, and at least Versace's life can be saved.

"Because of what you did, your second brother is still at the border at the moment, and must accept King Yun's guilt and the double threat of force."

The more Versace listened, the more ashamed he became, and his head lowered lower and lower, as if he was burying himself in the soil.In fact, the truth is not as serious as Fan Fei said. After all, he has made appropriate arrangements in all aspects, but Fan Fei must let him know how wrong he is.

Versace shouted: "Brother, I was wrong!"

Snapped--

Fan Fei slapped him with a loud mouth, and Versace immediately fell down and lay on the ground.He quickly got up again, knelt down in front of Fan Fei again, and raised the other side of his face to face Fan Fei.

Versace has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and he grew up under the pampering of Liu Ruyu.Her skin is as white as a woman's, and now her face and cheeks are bright red, and filled with countless distinct bloodshot streaks.For him to have such a firm attitude, he has obviously realized his mistake.

"It's good to know it's wrong!"

Fan Fei continued: "Does it hurt?"

Versace's eyes were already blurred, and he nodded with a very painful expression.Fan Fei stroked his slightly bruised face from being beaten, and then said to Versace: "It hurts, just keep it in your heart. If you make a mistake next time, it will hurt even more."

"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. Get up after breakfast tomorrow."

Versace walked very resolutely and simply, without any hesitation: "Yes, brother!"

Liu Ruyu said with some hesitation: "Xiao Fei, do you want to write to the master, after all, this matter is too big."

Fan Fei showed disdain when he heard the words, and said in a very domineering manner: "No, I have already made a decision, who dares to babble in front of me without opening his eyes!"

Liu Ruyu knew that Fan Fei, Chen Pingping and others had something to talk about, so she immediately left with her servants and ordered Ruoruo to make tea to entertain them.When the group entered Fan Fei's courtyard, he was the first to ask: "I'm not worried about my father. Since he dares to do it, he is absolutely sure. The key is the safety of Teng Bin and his husband. Uncle Chen, are you sure? ?”

"There are some problems, but not big!"

Chen Pingping always has a calm and elegant look. Fan Fei, who seemed a little impatient when confused by his family's affection, immediately calmed down. Being affectionate is both his strength and his weakness.

Chen Pingping nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. As an emperor, you have all the talents you should have. But you still have to learn from His Majesty's calmness."

"Fei'er, you will definitely remember Uncle Chen's teachings."

……

Just after lunch, the mission set off again, but in just two days, everyone returned to Kyoto safely.

As the prince of the supervisory state and involved in politics, King Yun personally led a hundred officials to greet him at the east gate.Everyone was in a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned that His Majesty was seriously ill or the identity of the Fan family brothers.

Some things can be prepared in advance, or even calculated secretly.Before Emperor Qing died and there was no clear will, no one dared to take the lead.You must know that Emperor Qing's control over the Qing Kingdom is truly a powerful and powerful one.

Don't forget, with the support of the Overwatch Council, Prime Minister Lin's Mansion, the Ye family and the King of Chu, the Fan family and Fan Fei are not easy to mess with.Without a dead end situation, who would take that step without risking life or death.

If everything goes really badly, Fan Fei will probably take advantage of the chaos and ascend to the throne of Emperor Qing.The prince and King Yun have made preparations for so many years, but they can't make a wedding dress for Fan Fei.

Moreover, the prince is now in charge of the country and has the support of the queen mother behind him.King Yun has already won the support of the Queen, and now has the temple behind him to endorse him. The most suitable way now is undoubtedly to use the court to deal with the Fan brothers.

Kyoto, which was originally in a turbulent situation, fell into an extremely peaceful and peaceful situation when all the forces learned that Fan Fei had returned.

The delegation received the most solemn welcome when they entered the capital. Even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince celebrated with everyone drinking and drinking.

Yan Bingyun was even appointed to host the event in Kyoto. This was an imperial edict from the Overwatch Council issued by Emperor Qing before.The prince personally announced in front of everyone that he could never disobey Emperor Qing's wishes.

Although Yan Bingyun was captured by mistake later, no one can erase his great contribution.Faced with the competition between the Crown Prince and Prince Yun, Yan Bingyun always behaved neither humble nor overbearing.

He neither agreed nor objected, maintaining a vague attitude as always.

Then the courtiers dispersed, and Fan Xian took Teng Zijing home. He was dumbfounded when he saw the Sirius Black Cavalry surrounding the Fan family.

Sirius Black Cavalry only listens to military orders, and even if Fan Xian has the title of Tisi from the Overwatch Council, he still won't let him take a step forward.After the servant took out the letter, Fan Xian took Teng Zijing to find an inn to stay, and waited until nightfall before returning to the wall of Fan's house.But this time, Sirius Black Cavalry did not stop them, and even if they saw them, they pretended not to see them.

Fan Xian first went to meet Liu Ruyu, and then met Fan Ruoruo and Versace.Finally he found his eldest brother, and it was only then that Fan Xian learned the truth.First, he was annoyed by Versace's failure to live up to expectations, then he lamented his elder brother's plan, and finally he truly understood everything.

Fan Fei's power and combat power are too strong. If he acts openly, all forces in Kyoto will not be stable.Now that he is imprisoned in the Fan family, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to make concessions.

All forces are relieved, and will not do anything against the Fan family.Everyone clearly knew the purpose of Sirius Black Cavalry, and they also acquiesced in the fact that the Fan family closed its doors to thank guests.Even the Queen Mother swallowed her anger and endured the fact that the eunuch who served in the chamber was killed, otherwise the old lady would not have given up.

In other words, the Fan family would never participate in temple and government affairs without Emperor Qing's intervention.

Today's Tenglong Pavilion has belonged to Eryun King, that is, the second prince controls his subordinates.The King of Chu had accumulated prestige in the army for a long time, so naturally no one dared to move.But his mother, Ning Cairen, had already been served in the Empress Dowager's bedroom under the pretext of being unwell.

Prime Minister Lin's Mansion is the same as the Fan Family, Prime Minister Lin has now resigned.The Jiangnan Army was also divided into two, divided between the Prince of Jianguo and King Yun respectively. The general was also the commander-in-chief of their subordinates.

With Chen Pingping here in the Supervisory Yuan, we can do whatever needs to be done.No one moved, and no one had the guts to move.

Chen Pingping is a real lunatic, with a crazy temperament that kills people whenever they disagree.Those old people still remember the bloody massacre of Kyoto by the Sirius Black Cavalry in the deepest part of their hearts. Tens of thousands of people were massacred overnight.Even Liu Ruyu's mother clan, the Queen Mother and the Queen's relatives dared to kill ruthless people.

It can be said that today's capital, except for the Overwatch Council and the red-armored knight, has already been divided up by the crown prince and King Yun.

Fan Xianbu is not included in the Fan family's genealogy, and he is the husband-in-law of Princess Chen, yet his Majesty personally granted him the marriage.Now that he was sent to the Northern Qi Dynasty as an envoy, no one dared to say anything unless he entered the Fan family and was imprisoned.

Even the Queen Mother had to grit her teeth and accept Princess Chen's marriage and Fan Xian's right to inherit the inner treasury.Now Fan Xian lives in the inn and can enter and exit Kyoto openly. He now represents the entire Fan family.

……

The lively happenings in Kyoto during the Qing Dynasty could not be hidden from anyone at all.Just five days later, Dongyi City and Northern Qi also received the news.Uncontrollable civil strife broke out in Qingguo, and they were the happiest people.Dongyi City is not very powerful. It only wants to protect itself, but it has no power to dominate the world.

After the Northern Qi Dynasty got the news, they began to sharpen their swords. The Queen Mother was deterred by Ku He's participation in government affairs.The forces under his command even lost important ministers like Sheng Sheng, who had been forced into a corner by the little emperor and could not resist.

After the little emperor came to power, he carried out drastic reforms. First, he eliminated the important ministers under the empress dowager.Later, he strongly supported those young and ambitious officials. Following Fan Fei's strategy of strengthening the country, he worked hard every day and night to handle state affairs, and also made new divisions and regulations for the functions of the six ministries.

Even Tiger Uesugi was convinced of the little emperor at this moment because of Ye Zhuang.He left Beijing to inspect the military affairs of various ministries, and was also responsible for establishing and training new armies.

While the young emperor was perfecting the laws of Qi and clarifying the capabilities and power of the court and officials, he was also vigorously developing armaments and soldiers.At the same time, Jin Yiwei was reactivated and the financial investment was increased.Appoint Lang Tao as the new commander to strengthen monitoring of Northern Qi and infiltrate Nanqing and Dongyi City.

Even when Northern Qi was undergoing changes in full swing, Dongyi City was not to be outdone.Sword Master Sigu immediately retreated behind the scenes, and Yun Zhilan officially took over as the city lord.Not only does he have a strong talent for martial arts, but he also has a deep understanding and ability in government affairs.

The first thing Yun Zhilan did after coming to power was to establish deeper diplomatic relations and alliance with Northern Qi.Not only were weapons unique to Northern Qi and Dongyi City sold, but the two sides also collaborated to develop newer types of killing weapons.

They also maximized Dongyi City's advantage of being close to the coastal area, wrapping seafood in ice and exporting it to various countries for trade.The people had money, which naturally led to economic development, and Yun Zhilan began to train warriors again.

Jianlu, which originally had only eighteen ninth-grade men, now has a full 23 ninth-grade men under his jurisdiction.Even Nan Qing and Bei Qi were extremely frightened when they saw such terrifying figures.
