Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 28 The ultimate pull of dialogue

Guo Youzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, knew very well that the last time he saw his son Guo Baokun was when Guo Baokun was about to set off to assassinate Fan Xian. !Let Guo Baokun stay in Northern Qi?
"Before explaining this one thing, I still have to explain another thing for Guo Shangshu." Fan Xian was not in a hurry, he knew that Guo Baokun held a very high position in Guo Youzhi's heart, Guo Youzhi was the only son, Guo Baokun is his treasure, and Fan Xian won this round.

He said slowly, "After I came back from the Northern Qi Dynasty, I was appointed as Fengzheng of the Taixue, the official residence of the fifth rank, but I have another identity, which I want to know more than Guo Shangshu, and that is here."

Fan Xian patted the handle of the chair, and said softly, "Chief of the Overwatch Council."

Shock!

Guo Youzhi's face almost froze. He never thought that such a dandy, the stubborn illegitimate son of the Minister of the Household Department, turned out to be the commissioner of the Overwatch Council!

Tisi is on an equal footing with the hosts!
"Master Zhuge, the host of the first one, died accidentally while you were in prison, so now the position of the host of the first one is vacant, and I, as the commissioner of the Overwatch Council, now act as the deputy of the first one and sit on the deputy seat of the first one." The location of the host is here, Mr. Guo, do you understand?" Fan Xian's smile became more wanton, and he looked at Guo Youzhi.

In the second game, Fan Xian won again. At this time, Guo Youzhi seemed to have been attacked by Fan Xian's barrage, and he was speechless. So many secrets were nothing more than a fate. At this time, Guo Youzhi also reacted. Well, he is not stupid, if he hadn't been abandoned by the eldest princess, he would not have come to this stage.

He has worked steadily and steadily for so many years, but the princess's treacherous move completely pulled him off the horse, but it does not mean that he is an idiot.

Fan Xian was giving him a choice, whether to live or die.

The Overwatch Council didn't need a reason to kill a prisoner, all it needed was a twitch of Chen Pingping's face, besides, this prisoner was charged with ironclad crimes!

Fan Xian also understood that Guo Youzhi could hear the content of his words, but the dignified Minister of Rites could not understand, so it would be better to let Guo Baokun sit down, so the next step is not to continue to press hard, but to release Guo Youzhi's weakness and hit this weakness He is not worried that Guo Youzhi will not listen to him, at least he still holds the final dead card, that is, whether Guo Youzhi returns to the prison or not, he has the final say.

That being the case, Fan Xian said directly, "After I brought Yan Bingyun back from Northern Qi, Qingguo's intelligence network in Northern Qi was cut off, so Northern Qi must keep someone. As a high-ranking officer, I voluntarily stay in Beiqi to re-establish the spy network, so as to show my determination to Your Majesty."

Well pushed, well pushed, Fan Xian thought, I pushed really beautifully with this hand, take it well, Father Emperor, I learned from you.

He continued, "But Guo Shangshu, you also know that your crimes can be serious before, but if you want to talk about them as framing or making mistakes in the investigation, I don't guarantee other places. In the first part of the courtyard, don’t forget that the supervision is on the affairs of the capital, and I have made a mistake now, so Dali Temple will not say anything.”

That's right, Guo Youzhi knew that none of the bastards in Dali Temple were willing to stand up and punish themselves to death before offending the Overwatch Council.

He knew it was Fan Xian's arrangement.

Northern Qi Intelligence Network, what is that?That is the little white rabbit robbing the wolves to eat meat, if found out, he is the living meat, Guo Baokun?Even if he is his own son, no matter how confident he is, it is impossible for him to admit that he is this material.

This is Fan Xian's ingenuity. Based on Fan Xian's understanding of Guo Baokun, it is impossible to entrust him with such an important matter related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of spies in the Northern Qi Dynasty. So he is only doing it publicly so that he can get out of prison smoothly. It was made under the pretense of showing His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom. This pretense was likely to be discovered by Bei Qi because Fan Xian felt uncomfortable after waking up one day.

This set was used by the Eldest Princess before on Fan Xian, and now Fan Xian is using it against himself who used to be the Eldest Princess' subordinate, and it can be regarded as retaliation for retaliation.

Fan Xian gave Guo Youzhi enough time, and he also knew that this was a major event in life, and it was impossible for him to finish these words by himself, so Guo Youzhi immediately made a decision, so he didn't believe it, and Guo Youzhi was not sincere, and sincerity takes time , Fan Xian is not in a hurry.

"Guo Shangshu should think about it as much as possible. I'll put the paper and pen here." Fan Xian said, stood up, walked slowly to Guo Youzhi, and said softly, "Master Guo, what are you doing?" It’s time to think about it, just write it on paper, and I’ll just take a look.”

Guo Youzhi didn't speak, and was still sitting quietly on the chair. He didn't know what Fan Xian asked him to write, but he knew that it must be something that would cost a heavy price. He didn't ask, he wanted Fan Xian to say, In the chess game, he has not given up hope of winning.

So scheming, Guo Youzhi, Fan Xian thought, I can catch all your weak points, but I can't catch your friendship with Qingguo, you are worried that I will let you do things that endanger Qingguo, then you are worried Go ahead, but I believe that in this choice, you will make a very correct choice.

Fan Xian stood up straight and looked at Guo Youzhi in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Guo Youzhi in front of him was only one step away. If he was defeated, he would lose face. Minister of the Ministry of Rites took great pride in his face, so he said, "Master Guo, although the beds here are harder than those in Guo Shangshu's mansion, they are still passable, and they are much more comfortable than those in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"It's Chunwei. I'm the chief examiner of Chunwei now. You must know that Chunwei is over. I hope you can make a choice." Fan Xian smiled, "As for the choice, please sit in the same position just now , I have written all the basic things on it, and I am sure you will know what I am going to do, so, at noon tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Guo to decide for himself."

Fan Xian gave him one last chance. After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

As for Guo Youzhi's gloomy face, he gritted his teeth at the end.

After Fan Xian left, he walked to the table and saw the piece of paper Fan Xian left behind.

It was filled with the names of Chun Wei's candidates, and the fonts were one by one, which he was no longer familiar with.

"My lord, Guo Shangshu has arrived at the Overwatch Council?" Wang Qinian frowned and looked at Fan Xian who walked out of the room.

"What did you say?" Fan Xian asked.

"The decree hasn't come down yet." Wang Qinian replied, "But Guo Shangshu has already been released."

Wang Qinian didn't understand, but Fan Xian understood very well. The old emperor didn't release Guo Shangshu, but on the one hand, he was willing to give this person a chance. In fact, the mistakes he made were not very serious. After all, the royal heirs took in the ministers of the court It is normal for the forces of all parties to use it for themselves. Such a veteran is not disloyal to His Majesty, but has been manipulated by others. This kind of problem is naturally obvious, so His Majesty is just waiting for an opportunity. If this opportunity arises, let go If it doesn't show up, then the old official who has been an official for a lifetime will die as well.

Guo Youzhi was just an official who obeyed the arrangement of his superiors, and he was not corrupt. Emperor Qing didn't think too much about such a veteran official. Since Fan Xian gave him a chance, let him cherish this opportunity.

He gave Guo Youzhi a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. If he could get it, he might be dealt with leniently, but if he didn't do it well, he would have to go back and go to jail again.

Fan Xian understood this truth, but he couldn't teach Wang Qinian all these tricks of the emperor, so he kept silent and said, "How many people have been arrested?"

"Seven people, including those from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and some officials related to Chunwei." Wang Qinian said, "This matter was obviously arranged before the exam, so it should not be just this wave of people who are doing these things , besides the limited time in the morning, we can’t investigate all of them.”

Fan Xian understood these things, so he nodded calmly, "These people must be very hard-spoken, and the Superintendent's Office will firmly resist it. I will be the first in any play in front of Your Majesty. What happens afterward depends on our Master Shang Shu, if there are no problems, he should be able to figure it out before dark."

Looking back, in the closed door, the eyebrows of the thinking old man twitched.

……

……

"Do you know about that?"

There were four or five people present at Dali Temple, one was a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Officials, and the other was a subordinate of Mr. Fang himself from the Ministry of Officials.

"What happened in the morning?" an official from Dali Temple asked.

"Exactly." Lord Fang's subordinates said, "Is this Fan Xian taking himself too seriously?"

"Among the people he arrested were not only the retainers of His Highness the Crown Prince, but also several people from His Highness the Second Prince. I'm afraid he will cause big trouble this time." The official of the Ministry of Officials smiled coldly, "A mere fifth-rank Minister, you angered two high-ranking Highnesses at the same time, Fan Xian may be about to be wiped out."

"He just got married and caused such a big disaster. Even if Fan Shilang and Prime Minister Lin tried their best to keep him this time, they can only save one life. The other things outside the body should be taken out. .”

"A prime minister and a household secretary? What do you want? Can you do it? That's the prince!" Lord Fang said contemptuously, "I really want him to die, just find a reason, just kill him, who does he think he is?"

"He didn't think about it either. His Majesty had secretly agreed to why these things could be done for so long. He, Fan Xian, was in a hurry to make meritorious service, but he couldn't break ground on Tai Sui's head, right? He was really full."

Several people have different opinions, but the goal is still the same, and Fan Xian's road has come to an end.

Seven officials were arrested in the capital city in one morning. This kind of thing never happened in the former Overwatch Council. Chen Pingping, the former savior of the military and horse battlefield, had done a great job and never captured so many officials in the hands of His Majesty. They broke down one by one, but this new chief who hadn't been here for a few years didn't even show his face, and just let his subordinates easily take away so many officials. Suddenly, all the officials in the court were panicked.

Let Fan Xian do what he wants, it will be terrible if it goes on like this!

But this time, no one jumped out at the first time. On the one hand, His Majesty did ask Fan Xian to investigate this matter, and this lord Tisi is also very smart. He did not use the name of arresting people, but invited The other party went to the Overwatch Council to drink tea. This sentence was very ingenious. Everyone knew that the Overwatch Council was not a place to drink tea, but everyone knew that their own abilities could not refuse the Overwatch Council.

Second, His Royal Highness the Second Prince behind the scenes did not urge him.He received an excellent news today, that is, the assassin who assassinated his own people was dealt with by Yan Bingyun, so he was not in a hurry to continue to attack.

In the city of Kyoto, undercurrents are surging.
