I run a newspaper in ancient times

In the early morning of the second day, Xiaofei walked to the school field in a speechless manner. At this time, Fan Zhiyuan just retracted his sword, breathed in and exhaled, and wiped his sweat with a towel.

Seeing Xiaofei's unbelievable look, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Tian really took care of that spy as a guest yesterday. He is a doctor and a good medicine. He just sent him away this morning." After following Fan Zhiyuan for so many years on the battlefield, this is the first time he saw a spy from another family being arrested. This is the treatment.

As Xiaofei talked, he couldn't help feeling emotional: "Our General's Mansion is opposite Uncle Yongchang's Mansion, and my subordinates went out for a walk. The concierge over there saw with his own eyes how Uncle Tian sent the reporter away, and he showed sympathy and understanding." I don't think it's wrong, Prince Yi is too powerful, right?"

Fan Zhiyuan listened and did not speak. Li Li had been running gossip tabloids for so many years. The mansions were afraid of making headlines, so they were polite to these reporters.

He threw the towel to Xiaofei, and turned back to the yard to wash up.

There is a banquet in the palace today, and he will see Li Li again.

In the study, Tian Bo knelt on the ground excitedly, looked at Fan Zhiyuan with tears in his eyes and said, "Master, I am so happy that you have come back safely! Madam Hou bless you, my heart can finally settle down!"

Fan Zhiyuan looked at the old housekeeper, his indifferent face was filled with warmth for the first time, and said softly: "Tian Bo, don't kneel down, get up and talk."

"Hey, thank you, young master." Tian Bo bowed his head respectfully, and then stood up from the ground with Xiao Fei's support.

"sit."

"Yes." But even though he was speaking, Uncle Tian didn't sit down, "The young master is coming back this time, so he won't be going back to the north for a while, right?"

"Ah."

Tian Bo sighed: "That's fine, you just came back yesterday and went to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion to drink in a hurry, so the old servant didn't dare to disturb you." He took out a booklet from his pocket and put it respectfully in Fan Zhiyuan In front of him, "This is the clues collected secretly by the old slave during the three years when you were not in the capital. Most of them are speculations, and there is very little definite evidence. It can only be seen from the promotion and demotion over the years that these People were more or less involved in the big case of the year."

Fan Zhiyuan opened the booklet and saw a personal name inside, his face became more and more gloomy, his eyes condensed with murderous intent and anger.

Tian Bo said slowly: "Actually, too many years have passed, and the capital has been moved from the upper capital to the lower capital. Things have changed, and many clues have been broken. But fortunately, the conviction was rushed back then, and the Hou Mansion went from raiding the house to the lower capital. He was imprisoned and even ransacked and beheaded all over the family. It took only five days. At the beginning, many servants escaped and hid. Later, when the capital was moved, the crown prince conspired against him again. More and more people were involved. Hands, the relevant people have not been wiped out, and slowly, the old slave still found these."

These servants also included Tian Bo, who was once a confidant of the Marquis of Dingbei, and he was in charge of the dark forces, because he rarely appeared in front of people, he was able to save his life.

But when the incident happened suddenly, they didn't have time to rescue their master, they could only watch helplessly as everyone in the Hou family was executed, hibernating silently with hatred, and when they planned to avenge him, they didn't expect that the little master was still alive!

Naturally, these people also returned to Fan Zhiyuan's side, and the current personal guard Ru Xiaofei was one of them.

After going around and going around, Fan Zhiyuan kept his name incognito, returned to the capital by fighting all the way, and became a general again.

A natural talent that no one can surpass.

When Tian Bo saw it, he was very distressed, very relieved, and very proud!

"Tian Bo is working hard." Fan Zhiyuan said in a low voice, after secretly getting angry, his eyes gradually became peaceful, but with a touch of sadness.

What supported Fan Zhiyuan's survival and his return to the capital was his belief in avenging his family and redressing his grievances.

It's just that the relatives... are no longer there, so it looks extremely lonely and desolate.

Later, it was discovered that along with the only warmth, the lifesaver had also married Daxia with his relatives.

But what's the use of that?

It's just a short-term peace, and it's still time to invade and retake it. The two countries are fighting so hard that a princess can't control anything at all. Instead, it makes her situation even more difficult, like a joke.

However, Fan Zhiyuan had no choice.

He didn't dare to marry a wife and have children, and he didn't dare to have a deep friendship with others. He wrapped himself in indifference and walked in the world, waiting for the opportunity to revenge.

"This is the job of this old slave." Tian Bo sighed, looked at the little master covered in scars and said, "Last time, the young master came back in a hurry, and soon went to the north to fight again. There are many things that this old slave is inconvenient to tell. Now you have to If you are stationed in the capital, you must start to investigate this matter, right?"

Fan Zhiyuan responded in a low voice, he came back this time with the intention of diving into the vortex of the capital, so as to find the truth from it.

"The young master listened to the old slave's persuasion, put this matter aside first, gain a firm foothold in the court, and then slowly plan it. Don't look at you now holding an army of 30, but you still have to rely on the Shen family, otherwise the military power will be easily taken away The events of the past must have been written by the left minister, but it is not ruled out that the Shen family is also involved. Now the military power of the Shen family is mostly taken over from the Wei family, and Marquis Wu Ning is also a beneficiary. The emperor, the left minister, Wu Ning The three Hous are fighting each other, but on this matter, they are determined to be colluding, and once they find out, they will never let you live. You are the only one left in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, no matter what, please think twice, young master."

Fan Zhiyuan didn't know Tian Bo's earnest persuasion, he knew his situation better than anyone else.

These years, these old people and old affairs, even those who were trusted by Dingbei Hou at the time, he dared not have any contact, for fear of being betrayed, he could only bear the identity and this face that the old master had placed on him, and continue to Shen Jiayuan's nephew, a Shen party self-proclaimed.

"Don't worry, Uncle Tian. I know it well. I have waited for so many years, so I don't care about waiting for a few more years."

Fan Zhiyuan smiled softly, with strong sarcasm in his eyes, he was looking at himself, and also at these people who were eating the flesh and blood of the Dingbei Houfu and fighting each other.

He told himself to the plum blossom trees outside the window, be patient, be patient, wait for the opportunity, and get back a stroke.

In fact, in the end of this tragedy, it was the superior emperor.

Partial listening, partial belief, loyal and good from generation to generation, but the righteousness of in-laws is not as good as a forged letter of collaborating with the enemy, and he refused to even give his father a chance to defend himself, so he copied it directly.

Of course, the first emperor has passed away, and this one is sitting on the throne now...

Fan Zhiyuan smiled coldly, recalling the cautious appearance of Emperor Yan following the former prince, now he was shackled by others, and he seemed to have found a reason for bumping into walls everywhere.

The first prince was shot and killed for treason, did this one play any role?

Fan Zhiyuan looked down at the list, and suddenly asked: "Are these people still alive?"

There was boundless coldness in this voice.

Tian Bo nodded slowly: "Yes, they are all alive, but Yu Zicheng had beheaded three days ago to show the public, otherwise he could think of a way to get something out of him."

"Pity."

When mentioning Yu Zicheng, Fan Zhiyuan had to think of Li Li's beautiful and fox-like face.

Those specious words yesterday, were they the mazes that the young prince had made, or did he know something?

He and Emperor Yan are brothers, they have always been favored, so what are they thinking?

"However, young master, before Yu Zicheng died, Prince Yi sent someone to the dungeon and got a statement."

Fan Zhiyuan was taken aback by these words: "How do you know?"

Tian Bo said: "Do you still remember the reporter from the gossip tabloid last night?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Fan Zhiyuan was surprised, but even the unknown Xiao Fei looked sideways, and the latter was shocked and said, "He belongs to you, Uncle Tian?"

Tian Bo nodded lightly: "Forgive me, young master. If you want to investigate something in this capital, it is easy to say but not easy. There are many forces from all sides, and there are spies everywhere. I really dare not be careless. If you think about it, if you don't There is indeed nothing more convenient than a reporter from a gossip tabloid."

The reporters of the gossip tabloids listened to the wall and burrowed into the dog's hole. They were all blatant. In the name of looking for news, they secretly investigated and no one knew anything.

Fan Zhiyuan naturally wouldn't blame him: "I'm afraid it's not easy for Tian Bo to insert someone secretly?"

"It's not easy." Tian Bo affirmed, "The old slave sent many people, but only a few remained. Xiao Fang was the first to go to Beixing's subordinates. Beixing is Prince Yi's servant. But it is a hidden force. This person has always been vigilant, and Xiao Fang happened to follow him when he went north to the dungeon that day, so he discovered something."

"But he came so blatantly last night, won't he attract Prince Yi's attention?" Xiao Fei asked.

Tian Bo smiled and shook his head: "Reporters from the gossip tabloids have always been high-profile. Everyone knows that the prince is crazy about General Fan. Before the young master returned to Beijing, he had already ordered his reporters to try to find out the young master's whereabouts. There are both light and dark, my lord It's no surprise that Fang was sent here. And the young master is very skilled, ordinary spies can't hide it from your eyes, and it's normal for him to be captured alive."

"It's too risky." Fan Zhiyuan shook his head, "He will never be a hidden stake again this time."

How can a secret conversation that has been discovered be acted in secret again with confidence?

"Young master, don't worry, Xiao Fang has found out a lot of news privately, and it's time to turn from the dark to the clear." Tian Bo comforted.

Fan Zhiyuan nodded slightly. After knowing the news, he became even more afraid of Li Li.

His own life experience was an unsolvable mystery, he didn't know what secret Li Li got from Yu Zicheng, and whether it was about him or not.

"Uncle Tian, ​​what do you think of Prince Yi?" He suddenly asked.

Tian Bo thought for a moment, and then answered carefully: "Compared to the emperor, the prince is the real character, the young master has to be careful."

Who would have thought that a newspaper that was ridiculous, ridiculed and abused every day but no one paid attention to it could hide so many mysteries.

"Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu Ning are afraid that they have regretted their guts a long time ago. Today's gossip tabloids can no longer be easily suppressed, and they can't stop Prince Yi's spies and spies all over the capital, saying that there are troubles in the capital. I'm afraid I can't escape the eyes of the prince." Tian Bo said here, his eyes showed admiration, "If the current emperor has such a means, he would have taken back the power of the emperor long ago."

Fan Zhiyuan was a little surprised that Tian Bo had such a high opinion of Li Li, but it seemed reasonable after thinking about it.

"Young Master, Prince Yi personally helped Gu Rushi to the position of Minister of Rites and became the chief examiner of Chunwei. Speaking of Mr. Gu's unassuming character, it is extremely difficult for Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu Ning to find out the reason. Officer, if you don't want to become a traitor, you must have the righteousness of being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and you can't act recklessly. This Lord Gu, has a secure position. Now, Prince Yi only lacks one thing."

Fan Zhiyuan's eyes flickered: "Military power."

Tian Bo smiled and stroked his beard: "Exactly. Whether Prince Yi likes you or not, no one knows, but he must like the military power in your hands very much."

Before the lanterns were turned on, the palace gates opened.

Hundreds of officials in twos and threes, fish and dragons stepped across the Jinshui Bridge and entered the hall.

Tonight, a palace banquet is held to clean up the dust and welcome the wind for General Dingyuan who has returned from the victory in the north.Although not regaining all the lost land, the return of Yanjing Wuzhou still made Dayan very excited.Among the Fan Family Army, apart from Fan Zhiyuan, several other generals are also listed here, waiting for their rewards.

On the red wall, Empress Shen and Concubine Zhou sat on the left and right of Emperor Yan respectively.

But what is surprising today is that Emperor Yan is accompanied by another beautiful concubine. It was the headline of the gossip tabloid "Two or three things you have to know about the talent show" that created momentum, and she was destined to become a concubine. The fourth miss of the Zhou family, Zhou Miner, is the emperor's favorite concubine.

During the general election, because of this selection guide, the behavior and dress of the show girls are divided into two extremes.

Who wants to stay in the palace and prepares to fight for the favor with high spirits, and who wants to go through the motions and leave as soon as possible, in fact, it is clear at a glance.

Therefore, apart from Zhou Min'er, the default favorite concubine candidate, and the clan girls specially selected by the Shen family for the emperor's preference, and those girls who had to stay in the palace for the sake of the family no matter whether they were favored or not, the rest, the Queen Mother Sending mercy is according to the wishes of these beautiful girls.

The empress and imperial concubine didn't like to keep these sharp and strong ones, but the empress dowager was for Emperor Yan's liking, and their natal family sent in such a girl, so they couldn't refute it.

From a certain point of view, Li Li's headline helped some girls who didn't want to die of old age in the palace, and had a second way to go.

Looking at it now, this exclusive interview with the emperor is indeed not deceiving. Zhou Miner was deeply favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace. Girl, just a beauty.

Regardless of whether Emperor Yan is sincere or false, at least today's move has eased the conflict with Prime Minister Zuo and made the monarch and his subjects more compatible.

Even the whole feast was harmonious.

Fan Zhiyuan looked at Marquis Wu Ning chatting with Prime Minister Zuo not far away. The two seemed to be old friends who had known each other for many years, not at all like political enemies who wanted to stab each other a few times at any time.

The hypocrisy of the undercurrent of power in the capital has been fully reflected at this time.

It's just that Fan Zhiyuan was bypassed, not because he looked down on him, but because his indifference seemed to look down on others.

This iceberg usually has a lingering hostility, and the ministers feel that they will freeze immediately just by looking at it. How dare they be so boring and uncomfortable, and there is no time to hide!

Strangely though...

"By the way, why hasn't Prince Yi come yet?" Huo Xiaoxiang asked everyone's thoughts in a puzzled sentence.

General Fan has already arrived, why is there no one who is chasing after him?

Looking at the alchemy wall again, Emperor Yan had a strange expression on his face.

But just as he was speaking, this Prince Yi shook his fan calmly, slowly and gracefully.

The author has something to say:

Li Li: No, I am more interested in people than military power.

……

The three senior brothers were accepted at different times. Fan Zhiyuan knew a senior brother, but he didn't know it was Li Li.

Li Li was the first to get started, in the cold palace, as mentioned before.
