No one thought that there were so many twists and turns behind the Chunwei fraud case that shocked Kyoto.
The downfall of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, caused turmoil in Kyoto.
What's even more unexpected is that the illegitimate son of Si Nanbo and Fan Jian's family turned his head and became a prosecutor of the Overwatch Council?
The reputation of the Overwatch Council in the Qing Kingdom can be said to be very bad.
The Overwatch Council, headed by the lame president Chen Pingping, has always been the target of everyone in the capital talking about it and fearing it like a tiger. Not only the officials in the court are afraid that one day they will become the guests of the Overwatch Council, but also in Kyoto. The common people also dislike such a character.
Ye Qingmei, the founder of the Overwatch Council, may not have expected that in just a dozen years, the Overwatch Council would become far away from the beautiful image described on the stone tablet at the door, and would become the most violent institution in the Qing Dynasty.
Tisi?
This is a position far above the hosting of the Eight Major Offices.
No one would have thought that an illegitimate child who had come to Kyoto less than a year ago with full plans turned out to be the number two figure in the Overwatch Council.
This identity brings a very strong sense of shock and tear.
There are no longer a few wealthy nobles in the court who were affected by this spring fraud. Even if these people are a little afraid of Si Nan Bo Fan Jian, who has just been promoted to the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they will still show their tough attitude because of this matter. The bottom line.
But when it comes to the Overwatch Council, those who are ready to take action can only temporarily stop taking action.
Lu Ze, who was in the East Palace, watched Fan Xian become the focus of the storm. Chen Pingping originally planned to use this opportunity to announce Fan Xian's identity as the Supervisory Authority to the world. Lu Ze just gave this time a little. A little ahead of schedule.
It's just that the many preparations prepared by the Overwatch Council were not used, and the sensation caused by Fan Xian's identity being exposed in such a straightforward way was undoubtedly even greater.
Lu Ze is equally keen on the Overwatch Council. This violent organization is undoubtedly the sharpest dagger. With Chen Pingping, an old guy who is good at conspiracy, hiding in the shadows, Emperor Qing will only trust him to hand over this dagger. The most trustworthy Chen Pingping.
"Chen Pingping."
"This old guy is really able to keep his composure."
Lu Ze put the note in his hand into the stove and burned it. The long flames illuminated his eyes with two pale yellow lights. News from the Oversight Yuan was rarely transmitted. Lu Ze had no idea about the Oversight Yuan. There was an arrangement.
There is no airtight wall in this world, not even the copper and iron walls of the Overwatch Council.
Otherwise, there would be no people like Zhu Ge.
Lu Ze believed that Emperor Qing also had his own arrangements in the Overwatch Council. Trust was on the one hand, but his skills were on the other.
He knew that many people belonging to other forces were arranged to come here in the East Palace. Just like his father-in-law, there was a double spy Yuan Hongdao lurking next to him. However, Lu Ze, an existence with more bugs than Ye Qingmei, could use black technology to Accurately distinguish whether it is black, white or gray.
Chen Pingping was far more calm than Lu Ze imagined.
Maybe it's because the old man in the wheelchair has been holding back for so many years, and maybe when those bony hands are about to reveal the truth, he will behave more steadily than before. Lu Ze feels that he may still have some... I underestimated the older generation back then.
Lu Ze's devotion to these things is not half as high as when he was with Wan'er.
This is confidence, but also some kind of arrogance.
He has always understood that only one's own strength is truly powerful.
The Grand Master is as fearful to many people as nuclear weapons in this world. The reason why Qingguo's horse hooves have been unable to break through Dongyi City, which is just a small place, for a long time is because there is a Grand Master Si Gu Jian there?
After coming to this world, Lu Ze did not devote 100% of his energy to many things such as court affairs and conspiracies.
After all, the main mission specified by the system is one thing, and your own life is another.
In the past, Lu Ze valued results more, but now
He enjoys the process more.
If there is only one thing that Lu Ze is passionate about, the only thing that he is not slacking off is his own cultivation.
Of course, silly girl is also a part of myself.
It’s just that there aren’t many things in this world that can bring improvement to Sha Niu. Lu Ze thought carefully for a long time. Maybe only the Daxue Mountain Temple in the far north has what he needs. Many novel objects there may be useful to Sha Niu. Has some effect.
Therefore, Lu Ze decided to speed up his established pace a little.
"The identity of the Chief of the Control Yuan is very sensational."
"But, Fan Xian has more than just this identity."
"Chen Pingping, this old guy, deliberately used Fan Xian to get my chancellor of the Ministry of Etiquette. I originally planned to get along with you as an ordinary person, but in the end, I got alienated. This will only make Fan Xian's reputation worse. Louder."
Lu Ze was too lazy to use conspiracy and tricks.
Because he feels that it is simpler and more direct to deal with problems with swords and fire.
But this does not mean that Lu Ze is not good at conspiracy. It is just that due to the limited power here in the East Palace, Li Chengqian has only been thinking about his bed with the man from Changxin Palace. The consequence of being obsessed with sex is that even the second prince Li Chengze Can't even do it.
Of course, in the realm of Kyoto, it is difficult to cultivate a considerable force under the nose of Emperor Qing.
"Prince."
"How can you be as happy as others think?"
...
In the beautiful palace in Xinyang, the weak willow trees are struggling to welcome the sunshine and grow new buds. At a glance, there is already a bit of spring here. A soft hand is gently stroking the hanging willow branches. The back of the hand The cyan blood vessels are clearly visible, like pale sapphire, and the contrast is very beautiful.
Li Yunrui, who had been away from Kyoto for only half a year, was dressed like a girl.
In the garden, the brocade tent used for resting is covered by a pyramid-shaped white gauze. On the white gauze tent, Li Yunrui is dressed in luxurious palace clothes. His slender neck is like a white swan, showing off his beauty.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
The applauded scholars in the capital did not praise Master Xiao Fan as enthusiastically as they did at the beginning, but his status as a supervisor of the Supervisory Yuan still brought a big impact to these scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam.
Emperor Qing issued an order to the Supervisory Yuan to investigate the Chunwei Incident.
But in fact, it was just a big thunder but a small rain. The dignitaries in the court were just angry that Fan Xian dared to destroy the balance maintained by the Kyoto officialdom over the years. Fortunately, Emperor Qing had no intention of going into details, except for a few princes who were involved in this incident. The loss is not small.
Especially the prince's side.
Many people lamented that Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, was not allowed into the East Palace this time.
Many of the young masters in the capital made trouble for Guo Baokun. After all, Guo Baokun was not a good person in the past. As a neighbor of the East Palace, he always had high ambitions and low intentions. It seemed that the prince's accompanying reading seemed to be a kind of irony at this time.
Only some old people who were well versed in officialdom were vaguely aware of the abnormality.
During the New Year's Day, His Majesty also specially rewarded several princes, but now this behavior seems to send some kind of dangerous signal. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty does not like the princes to interfere too much in the selection and appointment of the court, but this This time, even the eldest prince who was far away in Dongyi City exerted his strength in Chunwei.
"His Majesty's rewards during the New Year...to a certain extent, it seems to encourage the princes to fight."
In the dark room of the Overwatch Council, an old man in a wheelchair had gentle eyes. He was explaining some political matters to the young man who had just arrived at the Overwatch Council. A hint of ridicule flashed in the Dean's eyes: "Your Majesty. He just wants the princes to be more energetic, because he doesn’t want to see all of his princes being useless, but he also doesn’t want the princes to cross the line.”
Fan Xian nodded: "So, the eldest prince must show something in the spring."
Fan Xian naturally gave it some thought when handing over the small note this time.
The military Qin family, which has a close relationship with the Supervisory Yuan, cannot be touched. The military and the Supervisory Yuan cooperate closely, so how can feelings be hurt over such a trivial matter? The people from the Liu family cannot be touched either, because of this It was told by Fan Xian's father Fan Jian; and also by the nobles in the palace...
Fan Xian knew the seriousness of the matter.
If it really happened, the entire Qing Dynasty court would be shocked, so he kicked the difficult ball to Chen Pingping.
The two people chatted in the darkroom for a long time.
Suddenly, Fan Xian stared at the old man in the wheelchair in front of him: "I want to know...why did the prince deal with me?"
Chen Pingping laughed in a sharp voice: "Do you want me to completely show off my cards to you?"
Chen Pingping crossed her hands on her legs, pulled up the blanket, and said softly: "There seems to be something wrong over there in the East Palace. There seems to be some kind of change in the Crown Prince. I still don't know what triggered it. Our Highness. As for why the East Palace is dealing with you, it is very simple, because this is the test question that His Majesty gave the East Palace."
"I originally thought that the eldest princess would answer this question, but I didn't expect that it would be the prince who answered it in the end."
Lu Ze's smiling face appeared in Fan Xian's mind.
This was the source of his many troubles after arriving in Kyoto. Even the marriage that originally belonged to him ended up falling on that person.
Fan Xian became extremely irritable when he thought of this.
As a time traveler, he naturally has a certain sense of superiority and is not able to accept the fact that he is a supporting role.
Fan Xian thought of the black boxing incident on Niulan Street: "Uncle Wu Zhu said that he had met a person...maybe not a human being. He seemed to be the same type of existence as Uncle Wu Zhu. They had fought before and were not separated. Win or lose."
Chen Pingping nodded: "I know, I suspect... it might be someone from the temple."
The water in Kyoto far exceeded Fan Xian's imagination.
At this time, he couldn't help but miss the peaceful days in Danzhou. The most important thing was that Fan Xian had not found the meaning of his existence in Kyoto. Neither the inner treasury nor the Oversight Council was what Fan Xian wanted, and what he really wanted seemed to be And missed it for various reasons.
Seeing that Fan Xian's face was not very good, the dean was confused.
You said: "Don't worry too much about the East Palace. The queen's influence was cleared out more than ten years ago, and your father cut off the queen's father's head himself, but only a few of us know about this matter. "
Fan Xian opened his mouth in shock.
He had also heard about the bloody night in Kyoto more than ten years ago, but this was the first time he knew of such an explosive event.
His brows furrowed uncontrollably, and he was a little worried that the East Palace was attacking him because of the old incident. Fan Xian knew that his life experience would cause a great shock in Kyoto to some extent. In the past six months, Fan Xian gradually I understand what kind of person my mother Ye Qingmei is.
"Is it because...my mother?"
Chen Pingping had a cold smile on her face and did not answer.
Fan Xian then continued to ask accurately: "Then why didn't Your Majesty abolish the queen? Since all the queen's relatives have been slaughtered, why not just..."
Although it is very rebellious to say such a thing.
But the two people in the darkroom happened to be the kind of people who didn't have much respect for the majestic imperial power.
"Because after all, she is still the biological mother of the prince, so your majesty still has to consider the feelings of the east palace. The queen mother also likes the queen as her daughter-in-law." Chen Pingping coughed twice: "Of course, the main reason is your majesty. We need this queen who is stupid enough without even the slightest bit of power, deposed queen? Then where can we find such a queen?"
Fan Xian felt a chill in his body.
At this time, he noticed the cruel side of His Majesty the Emperor.
He took a deep breath and asked the last question of the day: "Then... who is the person I really need to guard against?"
...
"No enemies...no enemies."
Long after Fan Xian left, only Chen Pingping was left muttering to herself in the wheelchair.
