Chapter 211 The Qingguo Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party begins.
This cliff is now surrounded by people.
Unlike the servants brought by the nobles and court officials who were waiting at the foot of the mountain, the garrison troops in the army had already surrounded the mountain in three layers inside and outside.
Seriously speaking, if all the people on the top of the mountain could be wiped out from this world without a single one left, then the Qing Kingdom would not be able to resume operations for several months.
Of course, maybe the world can finally be at peace from now on?
How could all this not make the Kyoto garrison cautious?
The commander of the Kyoto garrison was none other than Ye Chong from the Ye Mansion!
Ye Liuyun is his uncle and master.
Although he was a master, the two of them did not spend much time together, which resulted in him not knowing the Liuyun Sanshou technique, but instead learning the Da Piguan Palm technique which was derived from the Liuyun Sanshou technique.
Today, Ye Liuyun is still at the border between the two countries, still within the territory of Northern Qi. He has thought about sending experts to rescue Ye Liuyun, but according to intelligence, Ye Liuyun is guarded by a ninth-rank expert.
In addition to the Northern Qi saint Haitang Duoduo and Li An's confidant Wang Shisanlang, there are also Lang Tao and He Daoren guarding them.
If the Grand Master took action personally, the opponent's lineup would be so strong that even if the entire Ye family was put to work, it would not be enough to fill the gap. Moreover, Emperor Qing did not allow it. If they did it privately, it was hard to say what the consequences would be.
"Your Majesty, now it depends on what you do!"
Ye Zhong said secretly.
He couldn't help but think of a figure, that is Fan Xian. Ye Zhong recalled the past events long ago. It was when Ye Qingmei and the strange blindfolded man first entered the capital. He had a conflict with Ye Qingmei, and then, as expected, he was beaten into a pig's head by Ye Qingmei. After the battle between Wu Zhu and Ye Liuyun, he got the opportunity to personally apologize to Ye Qingmei, and the matter was settled.
He is very old, and having lived for so long, he knows a lot of inside stories, not to mention the bloodbath at Taiping Villa that shocked the Qing Kingdom.
Perhaps Fan Xian is his final choice?
Ye Zhong continued to think along this line. He knew how bold his idea was, but he just couldn't control himself from thinking this way. If His Majesty made that decision
It seems that many things need to be prepared in advance. Now that the path has been determined, we should stay away from the princess. Although we don’t have much contact, it is better to cut off contact completely! And the Qin family’s Qin Ye, the rival of their Ye family?
Ye Zhong was furious and his face was ferocious!
On the top of the mountain, people were passively divided into many groups. Some older officials could no longer bear it and were just gritting their teeth to hold on.
Some experienced veterans had already found a shady place sheltered from the wind and were squatting there, drinking cup after cup of cold tea.
Although it is still May, the weather is sunny today. Qingguo is located in the south, and the mountain is too high, which means it is close to the sun! At their age, how many times can they be tortured?
Xuankong Mountain is located alone in the mountains, and it lives up to its name.
Everyone should have been cautious and made sure the ceremony ended as quickly as possible, but unexpectedly a conflict broke out in the venue.
"Shen Zhong, you son of a bitch! His Majesty was so kind as to spare your entire family, but I didn't expect you to betray him and turn around and join the Qing Kingdom. It's really shameful!"
Shen Zhong sneered when he heard this, and without even moving his body, he said slowly: "Emperor Qi is suspicious, and I am just trying to protect myself. What's wrong with that?"
He glanced at the official who had spoken and said, "If what you said is true, then Li An also defected from Qing to Northern Qi. I guess he is also a shameless person!"
"It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory! Who is the Imperial Master? He is a saint, how can you compare with him?"
"It's just that his cultivation is a little more advanced!"
Wei Hua was so angry that he laughed. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li An, it didn't mean he was completely dissatisfied. He raised his hand to stop his colleague who was about to say something, and said coldly: "You used your sister to get in touch with the Supervisory Council of Qing Kingdom, and you dare to speak nonsense here!"
"you!"
Shen Zhong was broken, he hated it most when people talked about his sister. While the two of them were exchanging verbal attacks, the others were also happy to watch the excitement. At this moment, Emperor Qing slowly walked out from the high platform, and the whole place suddenly became quiet.
Even Shen Zhong and Wei Hua, who were still arguing, had to temporarily stop arguing and fall silent.
Fan Xian sat in his seat, holding the shy Lin Wan'er's hand and looking at the figure on the stage. He couldn't help but wonder, what exactly does power consist of? Just like the figure on the stage, is the imperial power granted by heaven?
Before, he greeted Ren Shaoan and some of his father-in-law's old subordinates, but they ignored him. Instead, their eyes were full of hostility, which made Fan Xian think.
In the months since my father-in-law stepped down, even these connections have become useless.
He looked at the high platform where Emperor Qing was standing and wondered what the world would become if a fire broke out on this wooden platform?
This thought flashed through his mind and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was no wonder that he had such wild thoughts. Many movies in his previous life told him that something would happen in such scenes. This feeling became stronger for no reason when he looked at the letter written by Ang Lee.
Eunuch Hou hurriedly walked through the crowd and came to where Fan Xian was, saying, "His Majesty has ordered that Princess Xuan Wan'er come to see him!"
Lin Wan'er was secretly surprised why she was the only one called. She turned to look at her husband Fan Xian and asked him what he meant.
"Go ahead, I'm still on duty here!"
Fan Xian's smile clearly showed that he had no extra worries. Lin Wan'er nodded and followed Eunuch Hou to the stage.
At this time, Fan Xian's premonition became stronger and stronger. His Majesty was very thoughtful. If chaos breaks out later, it will be safer up there than down there.
Seeing Lin Wan'er being summoned to the platform by His Majesty, Ye Ling'er came over.
"master!"
Fan Xian felt a headache after hearing this. "It's better not to call me Master in an occasion like today. Besides, I didn't teach you anything."
Today, Ye Ling'er has married the Second Prince as his consort. Seeing her forced smile but unable to conceal her sadness and uneasiness on her face, how could Fan Xian not know what she was thinking?
"The Second Prince is obsessed with it and cannot extricate himself. He and I have indeed been a little too noisy in recent days, but it was just an act of spite." Fan Xian comforted him softly.
He was always extremely tolerant of everything related to Lin Wan'er.
Ye Ling'er is Lin Wan'er's best friend. She is one of her few friends and the one who truly cares about Lin Wan'er.
As for how much of Fan Xian's words are true and how much are false, that depends on one's own opinion.
He and the Second Prince were not just fighting each other, their brains were almost blown out. How could Ye Ling'er, Li Chengze's wife, not see this?
Ye Ling'er originally thought that Fan Xian would never talk to her again because of her husband, but she unexpectedly received his comfort. She smiled sadly and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to play cards together in the future. Now Ruoruo has been sent to Northern Qi by you, and Wan'er has been learning housework at home all day. I heard that even your second child will be sent to Northern Qi by you?"
"I originally had this plan. He has a good talent for business, and it would be a waste of his talent to keep him in Qing. But you also understand the current relationship between the two countries. In order to avoid others gossiping about him, I plan to send him to Dongyi City to learn business."
Ye Ling'er nodded, and two of the four people at the mahjong table left. It seemed that it would be difficult for them to get together again.
She also missed the cheerful Ruoruo.
