Chapter 177: The prince lets down his guard, and the traces of the temple messenger are finally revealed
When the princess saw Fan Xian's handsome face, her expression darkened. She couldn't help but cover her lips and giggle.
"Child, is it necessary for you to be so unhappy to see me? After all, I am Wan'er's biological mother."
Fan Xian adjusted his mindset for a while and finally put on a smile.
"Your Highness, you are joking. How could I not be happy? I am so happy!"
Originally, the princess didn't want to attend Fan Xian's wedding today.
After all, the inner treasury under his control was taken away by this shameless and black-hearted brat.
But the personal maid Liu Qinghe added fuel to the fire.
The eldest princess thought it was a good idea to tease this silly boy Fan Xian.
When Fan Jian and Liu saw the eldest princess, they quickly stood up and saluted.
This is a bit embarrassing! There are only chairs for the fathers of the Fan family in the lobby.
The prime minister returned home, the eldest princess lived in seclusion and was not on good terms with Fan Xian.
Who would have thought that both of them would come.
Fan Ruoruo was looking around for a seat, but unexpectedly Liu Hong grabbed her and shook his head gently.
"It has come to this. The Fan family is guilty of impoliteness. We can only hope that Princess Yu will be lenient!"
Fan Ruoruo suddenly became anxious.
But Liu Hong's palm was as hard as steel and he couldn't break free no matter what.
When Fan Jian saw the eldest princess, his face looked unhappy and he couldn't help complaining to Emperor Qing, asking why he let this crazy woman out.
Today is Fan Xian’s wedding, and he doesn’t want to get involved.
With Liu in tow, they stood on both sides of the chairs, taking the honorable position of the eldest princess as an apology.
After all, if the eldest princess took the opportunity to make trouble, she would say that Fan Xian had no respect for his elders and that she would not even have a place in the marriage.
If this gets to Emperor Qing's ears, it might have an impact on Fan Xian taking over the inner treasury.
The banner with the inscription "I hope the holy dynasty will govern the world with filial piety" by Liu Hong is still hanging in the imperial study.
I think Emperor Qing loves this sentence very much.
Fan Xian gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
At his wedding, the elders he respected could only stand, while his enemies sat in their seats and enjoyed kneeling down to him peacefully.
He was extremely indignant, but fortunately Wan'er pinched Fan Xian.
Fan Xian finally came to his senses. He said nothing and allowed Lin Wan'er to control him like a puppet.
Liu Hong shook his head secretly, even though he mostly used Fan Xian.
But Fan Xian also succeeded in being under his own shadow and was spared many beatings.
The eldest princess did not take advantage of the situation. Even if she had to use any means, she would not use this wedding to damage Fan Xian's reputation.
After he kowtowed, Fan Xian brought a group of people he was close to to the courtyard to drink alone.
"Fan Xian, I know that you have a deficit of more than 20 million taels since you took over the inner treasury. Here is 500,000 taels as a token of my appreciation, not my respect."
Li Chengze took out the small box and looked at Fan Xian's expression.
"I have good relationships with some businessmen, so maybe I can help you make up for the deficit of 20 million taels."
Fan Xian could not deny it, but he did not say much, nor did he accept the 500,000 taels of silver.
What a joke! If I let the merchants intervene, I would either be impeached by the censor for corruption or bribery.
Or you have to accept it, the inner treasury is interfered with by many merchants, and after all the twists and turns, it finally returns to the hands of the eldest princess.
When Li Chengqian heard that his second brother was trying to win over Fan Xian, he immediately became anxious.
Twenty million taels is not a small amount, it is enough to turn enemies into friends.
After all, Fan Xian and the Second Prince once had a very good personal relationship, and only the assassination at Niulan Street and the threat at Black Wind Ridge became barriers between them.
Liu Hong raised his eyes and stared at the prince.
Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, maintaining his timid persona and obeying Liu Hong's instructions.
"Your Highness, I appreciate it! Please take the gift back. I'm not in a good mood today. It would be bad if I get angry at you."
Fan Xian spoke calmly and drank a glass of wine.
While the women were away, Fan Xian also revealed his true feelings.
Li Chengze's eyes dimmed a lot.
This time he really wanted to help Fan Xian, because he had already obtained information that would make Fan Xian extremely miserable.
I really don't want Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er to go from loving each other to fighting each other because of political struggles.
"Come on, let's not talk about anything today, just drink! Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'll toast you a glass." Liu Hong raised his glass first.
Li Chengru also found something wrong with this seat and picked up his glass.
The atmosphere at the table gradually became lively.
Even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, who usually did not get along with each other, would put their arms around each other's shoulders and tell stories of their childhood when they were drunk.
"Brother, I still remember when I was a kid, I was like a little tail, running around behind you, and you took good care of me at that time."
The prince's eyes were dazed.
At this moment they are brothers, not mortal political enemies.
Li Chengze remained sober and smiled bitterly.
"It's in the past!"
"Yeah, it's all over!"
Li Chengqian drank the wine in his glass and sighed.
Perhaps it was when Emperor Qing praised the Second Prince for his talent and virtue, or perhaps it was when the Second Prince became a prince and established his own government in Kyoto.
At that time, the young prince understood that he no longer had the heart to care for his second brother.
Yes, there is only a struggle to the death.
Fan Xian was also affected by the atmosphere and drank glass after glass of wine.
Not long after, his cheeks turned red and his eyes became blurry.
Liu Hong remained sober, not because he could drink a lot, but because he only drank a little each time, just like raising fish.
Kyoto should be very lively tonight!
However, Liu Hong has been looking for the murderer in Jiangnan and the temple messenger, but there is still no news.
Fei Jie, who was originally in Jiangnan to capture the murderer, is now doing well in the Supervisory Office.
Wu Zhu, who was looking for his memories in Jiangnan, rushed over without stopping after hearing the news of Fan Xian's wedding.
"Today is the young master's wedding, everyone please stop!"
The servant at the door shouted and stopped the person coming.
"Emergency military situation in Qianlong Bay in the northwest. I need to meet with the Minister of War, Lord Pei Bo to report."
Ji Xin looked anxious, if he hadn't taken into consideration the presence of several princes.
He wished he could pick up his knife and chop the servant who was getting in his way.
The atmosphere at the drinking party became slightly tense, and everyone looked at Liu Hong.
Something big happened in Qianlong Bay. Was it another invasion by the Western Hu, or was it that the Northern Qi tore up the peace agreement and decided to take back this horse-breeding land?
Liu Hong stood up expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Official business is urgent. I have to deal with official documents right away."
Qianlong Bay is Liu Hong's lifeline. The eldest princess of Northern Qi, Sang Wen, is there.
If something happened, Liu Hong would be so scared that he wouldn't be able to cry.
Liu Hong pondered for a while and shook his head. It should not be military intelligence.
With Han Xin in control of the Qianlongwan army, unless Northern Qi raises a million-strong army, or the Western Hu gets support from the Snowy Northern Barbarians and launches a large-scale invasion.
Otherwise, Qianlong Bay would not have been lost.
Liu Hong took the urgent letter handed over by Ji Xin.
An unknown ninth-rank master appeared in Qianlong Bay and slaughtered people from the Supervisory Council under the observation of scouts.
This ninth-rank master was followed by another master and fled to Kyoto in a panic.
It was also Liu Hong's fault. He cared too much about his own base and stipulated that anything concerning Qianlong Bay could be sent via an urgent letter covering a distance of ten thousand miles.
But it’s also a bit bullshit!
The letter was only delivered to Liu Hong after Wu Zhu and the temple envoys had already fled to Kyoto, which saved him a lot of time to make arrangements.
"This is not a bad thing, it's a good thing!"
Liu Hong knew the identities of the two people at a glance and a smile appeared on his face.
Although I don’t know why Wuzhu, who was supposed to be in Jiangnan, and the temple messenger went to Qianlong Bay.
However, according to historical inertia, they eventually returned to Kyoto.
"Sir, most of the spies from the Overwatch Council in Qianlong Bay have died. This thing made Chen Pingping mistakenly think that we were the ones who did it. We can't clear ourselves of this even if we jump into the Yellow River."
Ji Xin didn't understand why Liu Hong said this incident was a good thing, so he spoke in a hurry.
