Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

The third prince looked pale.

When he heard Fan Bin's question, he shook his head repeatedly.

have opinions?
Even the old foxes of the Daqing Empire dared not say a word in front of Fan Bin.

How could he have the courage to say anything?
Although the Third Prince was shaking with fear, he finally sat obediently on the dragon throne.

Lin Ruofu, who had been sitting down to watch the show, stood up immediately after seeing this: "Greetings to our emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!!"

With Prime Minister Lin Ruofu taking the lead, the remaining civil and military officials no longer had any entanglements.

One by one, they knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince had anticipated this scene before. They didn't find it difficult to accept.

They followed and bent over.

Except for the two brothers of the Fan family, almost everyone surrendered to the third prince.

Although the Third Prince was terrified, this feeling of being in a superior position still made him dazed for a moment.

His father.

I guess all the kings before the Qing Dynasty have had such feelings, right?
Above everyone else, with supreme majesty.

It’s a pity that there are two living fathers standing next to him.

Although Fan Bin was standing, his majesty was even greater than that of the third prince.

The civil and military officials kneeling below were never truly afraid of the Third Prince.

But it’s Fan Bin.

The invincible grandmaster of Qing Kingdom, the best master in the world.

Even an existence like the temple had to temporarily stay away from the limelight.

"Your Majesty..."

In this solemn atmosphere, an official from the Ministry of Revenue suddenly came to the center of the crowd.

He paid his respects with great ceremony, as if he were about to submit a letter.

coming!

Although the incident happened suddenly, among the civil and military officials in the court, who is not smarter than a monkey even if he plucks a single hair?

They had already anticipated that the Fan family must have a backup plan.

The third prince, sitting on the dragon throne, smiled bitterly in his heart.

He knew that sitting in this position was definitely not a good thing.

When the Crown Prince was the emperor, he had clearly been very accommodating.

The prince would not object to almost anything Fan Bin wanted to do. Even when he pulled the prince off the throne, the prince did not say a word.

But Fan Bin still deposed the Crown Prince Li Chengqian...

It was he, a boy who had just turned 10 years old, who became the puppet emperor.

What does Grandmaster Fan want to do?
it goes without saying.

"My dear, please speak!"

The Third Prince seemed to have accepted his fate and held out his hand for the minister to speak.

"Duke Fan Bin, the Protector of the Country, stepped forward and turned the tide at a critical moment when a group of traitors from the temple entered the palace to threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and held the court hostage. His contribution is unprecedented in history. Your Majesty, I hereby appoint Duke Fan Bin, the Protector of the Country, as king!"

This official from the Ministry of Revenue is clearly a disciple of the former Minister of Revenue, Fan Jian.

When he spoke at this time, he was not representing just his own opinion.

But that’s what Fan Bin meant.

Enthroning a person of a different surname as king!
Even if you use your toenails to imagine this kind of thing, you can tell how outrageous it is.

But no one in the court, whether civil or military, spoke out against it.

The Qin family, including the forces under the Qin family, were eradicated just like that.

For the royal family and royalists.

They had to accept this lesson.

At this time, they no longer expected anything else. As long as the person sitting on the throne was still a son of their Li family.

Everyone just held their nose and accepted it.

Even if the person sitting on the throne is no longer a member of the Li family.

They might not dare to speak at this time.

Even the royal family and the royalists did not dare to say no.

Not to mention the other ministers.

There are truly upright ministers, but they are not fools either.

If their death is meaningful, they don't mind sacrificing their lives at this time.

The problem is, in the current situation, no matter how they resist, there is no way to change the final result.

Instead, several lives will be lost in vain.

This means that their deaths will be worthless and meaningless.

Then what reason do they have to die in vain at this time?
The third prince's small chest kept rising and falling.

He really wanted to object and also wanted to leave this hot seat.

But he didn't dare.

Although the Third Prince is young, the little guy has a clear mind like a mirror.

If he objects at this time, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

And it wasn't just him who died, but also his mother and everyone in the royal family.

"allow!"

"Appoint Duke Huguo Fan Bin as King of Qin!"

Fan Bin, King of Qin.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin..."

All the civil and military officials in the court began to salute Fan Bin, and Fan Bin raised his hand indifferently.

The script has already been written. The only villain, who was not even a clown, was dealt with by Fan Xian.

Now, whether it is the Crown Prince Li Chengqian or the Second Prince Li Chengze.

They have all started to play puppets.

Unless Fan Bin really wants to take them down at this time, otherwise, no matter what Fan Bin does, they should not object.

Emperor Qing's bloodline is still very powerful.

At least his sons are all capable and none of them is reckless.

Seeing that things were impossible, they all chose to lie low and endure hardships.

If there were no chance, they might be able to reluctantly accept the current result.

Once there is a chance to resist, including the third prince who is now sitting on the throne and trembling.

Everyone will fight back desperately.

This is the nature of the Li family!
Or it can be said that this is the common trait of all royal families.

Fortunately, Fan Bin no longer cares about this.

The reason why he asked for the position of prince was just to separate the Kingdom of Qing.

Don’t underestimate the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is now eyeing Daqing covetously and stationing troops on the border, as if it is ready to counterattack Daqing at any time.

But in fact, the gap in national strength between the two countries is there.

If Fan Bin could stay and take charge, even Fan Xian could stay and take charge.

Fan Bin doesn't need to worry so much.

They can completely let everything proceed according to the script written by Fan Bin.

But unfortunately, Fan Bin doesn’t have that much time now.

Northern Qi's reckless actions may very likely lead to its destruction.

Daqing would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and a significant loss of power. This was definitely not what Fan Bin wanted to see.

Even if the two countries are unified by then, the central dynasty will be weak and will attract the covetous eyes of other forces.

Especially those great nobles...

After Ye Qingmei's death, the great nobles in both Daqing and Northern Qi still had strong power and influence.

A force powerful enough to overthrow the country.

Divide Qing Kingdom into two, and the strength of the three parties is similar.

The more the situation is like this, the more cautious they will be when they want to do something.

In addition to Danzhou, several neighboring states were also included in the sphere of influence of the King of Qin, so that the King of Qin's fiefdom almost reached one-third of the entire Qing Kingdom.

Considering the overall strength of the Qin Palace, even without the invincible grandmaster Fan Bin, the Qin Palace is strong enough to compete with Daqing.

"Appoint Fan Xian as the Duke of Zhenguo!"

In addition to Fan Bin, even Fan Xian was given a title.

What is intriguing is that the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the Second Prince Li Chengze, and the First Prince Li Chengru.

With the third prince ascending the throne, these three should be crowned kings, and they should also have corresponding fiefs.

However, after ascending the throne, the Third Prince, including the three of them themselves, seemed to have forgotten this matter.

No one mentioned it, no one said anything...

Everyone just forgot about it naturally.

After the court meeting.

Almost more than 90% of the civil and military officials left the palace with concerns.

The third prince, who had just ascended the throne, hugged his mother and started crying after returning to the palace.

"They are so bullying! Mother, I'm so scared..."

No matter how precocious the sons of the royal family are, it would be difficult for them to remain calm after experiencing a scene like that at the morning court.

Not to mention the third prince, who was just a young boy in his early teens.

"Alas, your cousins ​​are just making a stopgap measure to let you be emperor for a few days. Just listen to me and stay in this position honestly. When everything is settled, you will definitely benefit from it. No matter what, we are related to the Fan family. Fan Sizhe is your cousin, and Fan Xian is even more your..."

When the new empress dowager came to this, she suddenly realized something and quickly shut up and stopped talking.

The third prince blinked his eyes, looking curious.

"Snapped!"

The new queen mother slapped her own son on the body.

"Why did you hit me?"

The third prince suddenly looked aggrieved.

"Just listen to your mother, it won't go wrong."

The new empress dowager could guess most of the twists and turns here.

But there were some things she was destined not to be able to tell her son.

Who made her son, still just a teenager. Who made her son, now the best thing to do is to play dumb?

Other than that, everything they do is wrong.

On the other hand, the Fan family had one more king of the opposite sex and one more duke.

There is a lot that needs to be done...

Fan Bin and Fan Xian had already prepared for this.

First of all, there are social events in Kyoto, no matter if they have already joined the Fan family, or have just joined recently, or have the intention to join.

They all extended olive branches, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they accepted all offers.

They go all out to strengthen themselves and pave the way for the future...

When things in Kyoto were almost stable, they started heading for Danzhou.

In the eyes of outsiders, it doesn't matter whether it is Prince of Qin Fan Bin or Duke of Zhenguo Fan Xian.

There are a myriad of things they need to do.

How to divide the land? How to gather power? How to train the soldiers? How to balance the new power structure...

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Even if they are an invincible grandmaster, a powerful grandmaster.

It also takes a lot of time.

So in the eyes of outsiders, it would take the Fan brothers two to three months, or even half a year to a year.

Come do these things!

But in fact, the two brothers of the Fan family didn't care about these at all.

They just found Si Gu Jian and asked him to protect Danzhou during this period of time.

At the beginning, Si Gu Jian was unwilling.

Except for Fan Bin who had to go, both Fan Xian and Wu Zhu could have stayed.

The role they played in staying was obviously much greater than Si Gu Jian's.

"The martial arts of the world are all inherited from the temple. I also want to go to the temple..."

Si Gu Jian spoke earnestly.

Who wouldn’t want to go to the temple if they had the chance?

No matter what others do, Si Gu Jian can't resist this temptation.

He didn’t know where the temple was before, nor did he know if he could get there?

That's all.

Now that he is sure that Fan Bin can find the temple?
There was no way he could convince himself to just wait here obediently.

See the stubborn Si Gu Jian.

Fan Xian had absolutely no other options and could only place his hopes on his brother.

"I think what Mr. Si Gu Jian said makes sense."

Fan Bin and Si Gu Jian have the same idea.

Going to the temple was a bit risky after all. After Fan Bin left, it would be best to let Fan Xian stay behind to take charge of the situation.

"Boss, stop joking. If something really happens in the temple, can I fight against so many temple messengers? No, even if I die, I want to die knowingly."

It seemed that Fan Xian had to go.

From his point of view, his statement is not untenable.

Once Fan Bin fails, everything will be out of control.

On the contrary, if this trip was successful, even if there were any problems in Daqing and Northern Qi, they would still be able to turn the tide.

"it is good!"

Fan Bin nodded.

Although Fan Xian and Si Gu Jian are both masters at the grandmaster level.

But the functions of these two are completely different.

In a head-on fight, the two might be evenly matched.

But when it comes to exploring the temple, it is no exaggeration to say that Si Gu Jian's understanding of the temple is a world away from Fan Xian's.

The gap between them is so huge that it is hard to describe it in words...

In this case, the natural choice of helper is Fan Xian.

"I will definitely bring Mr. Si Gu Jian to the temple again. This time it will be different, and Uncle Wu Zhu and my brother will be required."

If you can choose.

Of course Fan Bin was unwilling to choose these two. He trusted them and they had enough strength.

Only if they stay can the Fan family be guaranteed to be safe. But the roles of these two are irreplaceable.

With Fan Bin's promise, Si Gu Jian nodded reluctantly.

His word is law.

With a grandmaster like him in charge, the Fan family can be guaranteed to be safe.

As for the remaining two grand masters.

Whether it is Ye Liuyun from the Ye family or Ku He, the national teacher of Northern Qi.

Fan Bin was sure that they would not dare to cause any trouble.

After all, both of them have weaknesses.

And Fan Bin can accurately grasp the weaknesses of these two people.

Unless they were sure that Fan Bin had an accident, they wouldn't dare to do anything even if they had the courage...

After dealing with Si Gu Jian, he left the household affairs to Fan Jian and Fan Sizhe.

The newly appointed King of Qin and the Duke of Zhenguo left Danzhou and headed north.

Their first stop was not the temple, but Northern Qi.

Things in Daqing have been almost arranged, but there are still two urgent matters in Northern Qi that must be resolved.
