Even the Ministry of War, which was originally responsible for overseeing the administration, did not let him go back. Although Sima Hong was not satisfied, he transferred him back anyway. At least, he can calm down in his house for a while. He hoped that his son could control his daughter-in-law who was better at catching monsters. Although the position is not satisfactory, I can think of activities, activities, and a good job for me.
Sima Hong also knew why the prince looked down on his son. But the prince still recognized himself very much. The distinction between himself and his son is still very obvious. Even though he was just a fourth-grade official when he came back to power. But since the prince returned to Bingzheng from Xijing, in a short period of time, he had become a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry.
As long as you serve the prince well, use all your talents, and let the prince verify your abilities. I am only in my early fifties now, and I will still have the opportunity to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry in the future. As long as he sits in that position, do he still have to worry about his son's future? Why do I need to look at the face of my daughter-in-law's uncle? When the time comes, you may not know who will beg whom.
That bastard woman, just let her go to court, and then marry her son a virtuous wife. Just thinking about his domineering wife, Sima Hong really had a toothache. In fact, Sima Hong did not know that Jia Quan's persuasion was not responsible for his son's transfer back. In the end, it was Huang Qiong who took Sima Hong's thoughts into account. If you are using people, you should give some sweet dates if appropriate.
In other words, Huang Qiong plans to turn Sima Hong's son's future into a carrot hanging on a horse's head. Whet his appetite and let him work well. Of course, Huang Qiong was also somewhat dissatisfied with Sima Hong's behavior, thinking that he was too eager for quick success and too eager to change camps. But this did not hinder his appreciation of Sima Hong's talents. Dislike the person, use the talent. This is Huang Qiong's view of Sima Hong.
In fact, Huang Qiong is not too worried about government affairs. After the talented Fu Yuanshan came to Beijing, Huang Qiong relieved a lot of burden. The issue of spreading the land from one person to another depends on the progress of several pilot states. This matter will not be pushed away all at once. The re-clearance of the country's land has just begun. What worries him most now is the silent Guilin County Prince's Palace.
The more silent there was, the more uneasy Huang Qiong felt. In order to obtain the latest news from the Guilin County Prince, Huang Qiong secretly sent a letter inviting the head of the Fan family to Beijing in October. But something unexpected was that it was Fan Dao and his wife who came to Jingzhao. It turns out that the head of the Fan family is an old man after all, and no matter how deep his internal strength is, he cannot withstand the laws of history. In July, the head of the Fan family fell seriously ill.
As a result, the disease never occurred. Now I am lingering on the sickbed, and my condition is becoming increasingly serious. Almost all the Fan family members returned to Xiangyang. After more than a hundred years of reproduction, there are now hundreds of people living in each house of the Fan family, which can be said to be flourishing. There are thousands of people in the family and one person in charge. As the head of such a huge Fan family, Mr. Fan is like the emperor of the Tian family.
Fan Dao's father is just like Huang Qiong's current position in the court. Now that Mr. Fan is seriously ill, Fan Dao's father, as the successor of the family head, must not leave at this time and must stay in the Fan family to stabilize the situation. Faced with the invitation of Huang Qiong, the current crown prince, the Fan family really did not dare to offend the prince. They did not dare to refuse or not send important people to the capital to meet Huang Qiong.
Under such circumstances, as the eldest son and direct grandson, Fan Dao, who has already taken over most things in the Fan family, became the most suitable candidate. Although the young lady of the Fan family did not want to come to the capital, let alone see Huang Qiong again. But she also knew that this visit to Beijing was likely to be related to the future of the Fan family. Although my husband is talented, he is still a little rough-minded and is not yet mature in some aspects.
At the request of my father-in-law, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the capital with Fan Dao. In order to keep the secret, avoid the Guilin County Prince's spy in the capital. When Fan Dao and his wife came to Beijing this time, they did not stay at the Fan family's branch in Beijing. Instead, under Huang Qiong's arrangement, he secretly moved into the place where Lin Hanyan and Tang Rushi lived. Lin Hanyan and Tang Ru are here, Huang Qiong's old friends in the Prince's Palace.
Loyalty is also quite reliable. And it can be said that it is very close to the palace. You don't have to worry about anything when you live here. On the night that Fan Dao and his wife arrived in the capital, Huang Qiong came to Lin Hanyan's house in plain clothes. It didn't matter when he saw Fan Dao, but after seeing Mrs. Fan who looked more mature, plump and charming after giving birth, Huang Qiong's mind couldn't help but move slightly.
Seeing Huang Qiong's arrival, Fan Dao explained why the head of the family was not able to come. Hearing Fan Dao's explanation, Huang Qiong frowned slightly and said: "The master of your family is lingering on the sickbed, so he just needs to write a letter to explain to me. At this time, it is really inappropriate for Brother Fan to come to the capital. Regardless of being the eldest son, Sun, as the young head of the Fan family, it is not the time for Brother Fan to leave Xiangyang now."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, his attitude toward Huang Qiong now was no longer the same as it was at Hulao Pass. Although he is not as condescending as ordinary officials, his attitude is more respectful, but Fan Dao said: "The head of the family also knows that this time the prince summoned the Fan family to the capital, there must be something important to discuss with the Fan family. Neither my grandfather nor my father could do anything about it. If you come here, I will send Dao to the capital to listen to the prince's instructions."
Waving his hand, Huang Qiong said: "My affairs are not as important as those of the Fan family. The Fan family is in a tense moment now, and Brother Fan should not leave at this time. I also know that after more than a hundred years of development, the Fan family has It’s like a heavenly family. No matter how close the blood relationship is, there are dozens of rooms inside and outside. This time the head of the Fan family is seriously ill, and there must be some people in the Fan family who are not too honest and want to cause trouble."
"The Fan family is a family that I rely on. I will never allow the Fan family to be in chaos at this time. When I need to take action, Brother Fan can speak at any time without any scruples. I will go to Huguang North Road Jiedushi tomorrow. The military envoy of Xiangyang issued a decree, asking them to secretly dispatch troops and horses to Xiangyang. If some people cause trouble at this time, I will go all out to help the Fan family to bring peace."
Hearing that Huang Qiong actually wanted to mobilize troops and troops to station in Xiangyang, Fan Dao and his wife couldn't help but look at each other worriedly. What the owner said was correct. Indeed, after his grandfather became seriously ill, some branches of the Fan family made it clear that they were going to cause trouble. Nowadays, within the Fan family, there are many people who propose to separate the family. Some branches even said that although they arrived in Xiangyang, privately, they had stopped handing over their account books to the main family.
But before coming to the capital this time, Fan Dao's father had repeatedly confessed to Fan Dao. These disputes within the Fan family must not be disclosed to the prince. The Fan family's affairs can only be resolved by oneself, and the court, or simply the prince, must not be allowed to interfere. Otherwise, the Fan family would not be able to gain a foothold in the world, or even in the world. He would completely become that prince's vassal.
As a result, Fan Dao didn't expect it at all, but the prince had a keen eye and directly guessed that there must be something wrong within the Fan family. Compared to Fan Dao's shock, Mrs. Fan was much calmer. Because she knew this clearly before she came to the capital, and there was no way she could hide it from the prince. Among them, except the imperial court, which has been monitoring the Fan family because it is not at ease with the Fan family.
Considering the prince's ability to scheming and fighting, and the fact that the children of the Tian family have been full of thoughts and ideas since they were born, how could they not see it? The Fan family is just an aristocratic family, no matter how fierce the internal intrigues are. Can there still be descendants of the Tian family vying for the throne and killing each other? They, the children of the Tian family, have been growing up in power and tactics since the day the grass fell. What kind of conspiracy have they not seen?
The Fan family's affairs are nothing compared to the Tian family's battle for the throne. How could things about the Fan family really be hidden from the crown prince? But whether it was Fan Dao who was shocked by Huang Qiong's accurate judgment and direct statement that he wanted to intervene, or Mrs. Fan who was much calmer. After looking at each other, one thought came to mind, that is, the prince must not be allowed to interfere.
Once the prince intervenes, the Fan family will no longer be the original Fan family, and it will be difficult to maintain a transcendent status. What Mrs. Fan is even more worried about is that with the Crown Prince's always tough style, if he intervenes, it may be difficult for the Fan family to deal with the aftermath. Thinking of this prince, who had gone on a killing spree in Zhengzhou and Ningxia, the Fan family might even fall into a bloody storm.
Hundreds of officials were killed, not to mention the children of the Fan family? No matter how rebellious the Fan family's children are, they can only be dealt with by the Fan family. If the imperial court or the crown prince intervenes, the Fan family will not be far apart. Therefore, neither Fan Dao nor Mrs. Fan could agree to Huang Qiong's request. Therefore, the two of them unanimously rejected Huang Qiong's words.
Regarding Huang Qiong's suggestion, she was afraid that her husband, who didn't pay much attention to what he said, would completely anger Huang Qiong with his mouth. After secretly tugging on Fan Dao's sleeve to shut him up. Mrs. Fan cupped her hands and said, "The Fan family thanks His Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness to the Fan family. However, it is better for the Fan family to resolve matters within the Fan family themselves. Although there are several unscrupulous children, the Fan family is still capable of solving them."
"If the imperial court gets involved, the Fan family will no longer be the Fan family. Please rest assured, Your Highness, no matter what happens to the Fan family, the Fan family's previous promise to the prince will not change in any way. There are several clowns in the family. , even if it will cause some disputes, it is far from shaking the foundation of the Fan family. I heard that the imperial court has begun to implement the new policy of sharing the land with the family, and the Fan family will fully cooperate with this matter."
"Although the imperial court did not choose Xiangyang Prefecture as the pilot project for the implementation of the plan to share the land with the family, the Fan family has decided to be the first among the big families to support the imperial court's move. Next year, they will start to follow the example of Jiangling Prefecture and pay the imperial court every year. Money and food. Although the Fan family cannot influence that distinguished family, their influence among businessmen or certain aristocratic families is enough to cooperate with the court in implementing this matter."
After all, Mrs. Fan is a hero among women, and she is worried that Huang Qiong will insist on meddling in internal affairs of the family. Therefore, even without the authorization of the family head, Huang Qiong directly offered to make concessions on certain matters before Huang Qiong could speak. Regarding Mrs. Fan's thoughts, Huang Qiong smiled lightly and changed the topic: "This matter is indeed part of the reason why I summoned the Fan family to Beijing this time."
"But the main problem is not this. I remember that when I was in Ningxia Mansion, I reached some kind of agreement with the Fan family. I asked the Fan family to provide me with some things about the Guilin County Prince's Mansion. But on this matter, the Fan family did It's a bit unreasonable. The Fan family provides nothing, but there are really not many useful things. If the Fan family is on the territory of the Guilin County King, it really has no influence at all. "
"Now that I have said this, I believe it. Do you believe it? Since I came to power, I have been fully supporting the Fan family and competing with the Guilin County Prince's Palace on foreign trade matters. I even allowed the Fan family to stay in Jiangnan in Jiangning Mansion. The naval shipyard builds merchant ships. But the Fan family’s return to me is very little. It is difficult for me to be satisfied with the Fan family’s approach.”
