Chapter 107: Waves grow from the cliff

There were birds sounds by the sea, and the water splashed gently under the pier. The waves under the cliff in the distance slammed the stones, and the rumbling sounds were heard. Fan Xian stood on the wooden board, not confused by His Majesty's passionate remarks, and said seriously: "The Lord of Wancheng, I will not be in an unexpected place, and I will ask Your Majesty to return to the capital."

"The empress dowager in Kyoto is in charge, and Chen Pingping and two grand sages are there, who can do it without action!" The emperor looked at the sea and waved impatiently, saying, "If you want to seize the world, you will take that chair. The first thing is to kill me who is sitting on the chair... I can't kill me, let them make trouble, and the waste rebellion will not last for ten years."

Fan Xian was speechless, thinking that this emperor was such a freak. His extremely powerful self-confidence and extremely strong suspicion made this person's extremely narcissistic personality... The emperor wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but he might die in narcissism one day. The problem was that he didn't want to be a funeral object.

"Anzhi, you have to know that it is difficult to see a person's heart clearly."

The emperor suddenly felt emotion, not knowing whether he was talking about his son or his sister, but after this rare expression of emotion, his expression suddenly became a layer of fatigue, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of indescribable fatigue.

This fatigue is not the fatigue he deliberately made to show his ministers on the dragon throne in the court, but the real fatigue, a feeling of disgust that arises from the depths of his heart.

Fan Xian looked at the emperor's face and expression calmly, and many thoughts flashed through his heart. This was the first time he saw such a real and close expression on the emperor's face.

However, this true emotion was like clouds diagonally above the Danzhou Harbor. It only occasionally bloomed, blocking the dazzling sunshine, and immediately drifted away, transforming into the porcelain blue sky. After a moment, there was no trace on the emperor's face.

What remains is just the confidence and perseverance of the sunshine, and occasionally revealing the ordinary heart. The man immediately returned to the role of a king.

Looking at this scene, Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a little moved and sighed: "The so-called painting of a tiger is hard to draw bones. Knowing people and not the heart is not the heart. It's okay to be gentle and correspond to each other's chests on weekdays. Who knows if he will hold two straight knives and kill each other on one day."

The emperor obviously didn't care who Fan Xian was thinking about, but was surrounded by this emotion. He looked back at the past. He looked at the sea and was stunned and said quietly: "People in the world may think that I am an unintentional person and a ruthless person, but in fact they are all wrong."

Fan Xian looked at His Majesty quietly from the side, without answering the conversation.

The emperor said slowly: "I have given them too many opportunities. I hope they can repent. Even until this time, I am still giving them a chance. If it weren't for affection, why should I run around like this?"

Fan Xian thought to seduce and force others to make mistakes to test the other party's heart. Looking at the hardships of the prince and the second prince over the years, is the emperor acting like this? Is it affection or illness?

"It's like your mother..." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he felt that the sun floating out of the clouds was too dazzling.

Fan Xian's heart tightened slightly, and he listened carefully to His Majesty's words and sentences.

The emperor glanced at him, turned his face and said lightly: "She has made unparalleled achievements in Qingguo, and for me, she is even more... able to talk about kindness than heaven, but once a sudden change, she and her Ye family became the past and died tragically... but I have never left it hidden. Although there was a little compensation later, I have done very little more than her kindness."

Fan Xian understood what he meant. After his mother passed away, the emperor endured for four years before he caught all the princes and nobles involved in this matter in Kyoto, but... he left behind a few very important figures who did not kill them. If this was revenge, this revenge would be too incomplete.

The emperor said with no thought, "I have never said it, nor have they asked. But I know that they are a little unwilling to do it, and they are resentful to me..." A hint of self-mockery suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, "But what can I do about this? I just kept silent and took the Ye family back to the treasury and beat the Ye family into a rebellion. But if I want to overturn the verdict for the Ye family, how will the empress dowager deal with it? Or... I have to depose the queen and kill it, which is true love and righteousness?"

It is strangely true that even when the emperor talked about this section, his words were still so calm, without any excitement, which made Fan Xian, who was listening, admired. Of course, he knew that the so-called "them" with resentment were of course referring to his father Fan Jian and the dean Chen Pingping.

"As an emperor, it is impossible to travel around the world without any hindrance..." The emperor said calmly: "If I really did that, I would be a ruthless person, and what would the entire court look like? I think if she lived, she would definitely agree with my approach."

"She wants a powerful and prosperous Qing Kingdom, I did it." A look of determination appeared on the emperor's face. "Looking around the world, Qing Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world, and the people of Qing Kingdom live happily than in any year in history. I think this to comfort her."

Fan Xian remained silent. In the years since his rebirth, he often asked himself what kind of country the Qing Kingdom was and what kind of person the emperor was. Although he had a deeper understanding of all this after entering the capital, he finally touched the emperor's confident, narcissistic, arrogant, and self-abuse... However, he had to admit that even if the floods last year and the snow disaster this year, the efficiency of the Qing Kingdom's bureaucracy, the wealth of the people, and the clarity of politics were many times stronger than those of the previous life's history books.

In other words, the land of Qing Kingdom is undoubtedly a ruler or even a prosperous era. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor beside him is undoubtedly a wise ruler or even a saint - if the emperor's land standard is just to let the people fill their stomachs.

"She said that the officials of the court needed supervision. Well, when I was still the crown prince, she advised my father to set up a supervisory office."

"She said eunuchs are pitiful and hateful, so I strictly abide by the rules since the founding of the country and strictly prohibit eunuchs from interfering in politics. At the same time, I ordered the inner court Taichang Temple to verify the number of eunuchs and try to make fewer people in the palace."

Fan Xian nodded repeatedly. The number of eunuchs in the Qing Kingdom Palace was much smaller than that in the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was undoubtedly a virtue.

"She said a wise monarch should be able to listen to advice, okay. I will allow the power of the Censorate to be heard and discussed."

The emperor spoke faster and more, the more he became more and more ecstatic, but Fan Xian couldn't help biting the tender flesh in his lip and reminded himself not to laugh because he thought that the censors in the court were beaten into pork belly with a stick...

"She said she wanted to reform and eradicate the shortcomings. Okay, I followed her, I changed the era. Reform and implement the new policy..."

Fan Xian finally couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The reign was changed in the first year of Qingli, and the restructuring at that time was actually the third new policy. The Ministry of War was changed into the military headquarters and the current Privy Council. The Tongwen Pavilion was divided into the Imperial College, and later it was changed into the Education Institute and then changed back. Even the six ministries from ancient times to the present were almost changed by His Majesty.

Emperor Qing's life was brilliant, but it was the three new policies. It was a ridiculous thing that was extremely difficult to avoid in his life. To this day, the people of Kyoto were still confused when they came to these yamen. Whenever they had to go to a certain place, they often had to report several names.

Such a chaotic new policy, if it were not for the powerful deterrence of the imperial power and the strong execution of the officials of Qing State, they would have turned the court back to its original appearance, leaving only those disharmonious names... I am afraid that Qing State would have been in chaos long ago.

The emperor looked at his expression and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't hide it, I know that this is a rare few times in my life. But your mother is gone at that time, and I only know a rough idea, and it is inevitable to make some mistakes."

Fan Xian's heart moved slightly, thinking that after his mother died, the emperor would still act according to his words. From this feeling, I have to say that the emperor was still a affectionate person in this matter.

"Before your mother went, I heard her a lot, but later I couldn't do anything for her..." The emperor closed his eyes and said quietly: "So after she went, I took all the things she had mentioned to me in my heart, and wanted to fulfill them for her, which was also a kind of promise or guilt towards her."

Fan Xian sighed and said, "If my mother is still alive, she will definitely admire the kindness of Your Majesty."

"No, it's not kindness." The emperor opened his eyes and said calmly: "It's just love and friendship. As for admiration, it's even more impossible. I just want to do something to sacrifice to her spirit in heaven, and I don't want the rest."

The emperor suddenly laughed and said, "She used to talk about newspapers in a very pity tone, saying that there is no gossip to read and no gossip to read... I asked the inner court to run a newspaper and draw some gossips on it. At this time, I think I am also making a big fuss."

Fan Xian was dumbfounded. The inner court newspapers claimed to be the most useless thing in Qingguo. They were written by the Grand Secretary and great calligrapher Mr. Pan Ling, and sent to all prefectures and counties. They were only kept by the government offices and the powerful. If they were on the market, a inner court newspaper often sold a lot of money.

When he was in Danzhou, he stole the newspaper in his old house to exchange for silver flowers. He was naturally very familiar with this newspaper. At that time, he was very disdainful of the gossip content on the so-called "newspaper" and was very puzzled by the laces painted on the edges of the newspaper. The answer to all this was...

My mother wanted to read gossip newspapers and gossip news!

Fan Xian looked at the emperor with a strange expression and forced himself to suppress the words he was about to blurt out. He wanted to remind His Majesty that the so-called gossip news did not refer to a few gossips on the edge of the newspaper.

The emperor did not notice his expression and said happier: "Your mother is the most curious about Pingping's story back then, so in the fourth year of Qingli, I took advantage of the old dog to return to my hometown to visit relatives and let the inner court newspaper write it well. If your mother could see it, she would probably be happy."

Fan Xian laughed out loud. He also remembered this story. In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he went from Danzhou to Kyoto. At that time, the two biggest things in Kyoto were exposed. One was that the illegitimate daughter of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu was exposed and he married the Fan family at the same time. The second was that the editor of the inner court was not afraid of the power of the Supervisory Office, and the story of Chen Pingping, the President of the Supervisory Office, was exposed when she was young.

The sun on the beach gradually rose, moved from front to back, and knocked the shadows of the emperor and Fan Xian onto the undulating sea surface from time to time. The sea water also came to make fun of it, making the waves clearer and less clearer, gradually contrasting like calm, the blurred shadows of the two people becoming clearer and clearer.

Fan Xian smiled and lowered his head, thinking that His Majesty is still an ordinary person after all. Just as he never forgets the temple, he also never forgets Danzhou. Perhaps in this life, His Majesty will only say so many words on the dock of Danzhou.

It was this non-monarch and ministerial dialogue that made Fan Xian feel a little more favorable to the emperor, more profound understanding, and more troubles.

He sighed and turned his eyes to the sea. After all, the troubles in his heart will be in the future, and the troubles in front of him are already terrible enough.

"What are you worried about?" the emperor asked casually in a relaxed mood.

Fan Xian pondered for a while and said, "The Admiral of the Jiaozhou Navy...is a child of the Qin family."

The emperor officially went on a tour and didn't know how much ceremonial war was needed. Even though the Emperor of Qing State had always been known for his simplicity, the court also put a lot of effort into defense. On land, the state army was outside, the imperial guards, and a group of masters and the old monster of Eunuch Hong, could be called a steel fortress.

On the waterway, several warships of the Jiaozhou Navy also came to the scene to prevent dangers from the sea. When Fan Xian said this, his eyes were narrowing his eyes slightly at the sea surface, staring at the ships sent by the Jiaozhou Navy to protect him.

The emperor's face was calm, as if he did not take Fan Xian's reminder to heart, and said, "I will one day seek justice for you for the affairs of the valley, but the old general Qin is the wrinkle of the country, so don't doubt it. Since you have transferred the black cavalry over, you don't need to worry about the assault within a hundred miles. Why bother to be a wrecked dog all day long?"
