Chapter 53 Fan Xian’s life experience was exposed, and Emperor Qing was furious!

Fan Jian spat out a mouthful of tea.

rebel?

How could he have the courage and skills?
What is Fan Xian thinking about?
"You don't trust me?" Fan Xian thought for a moment. "That's right. After all, we just met."

"But you have to tell me your initial plan, otherwise I don't know how I can cooperate with you."

Fan Jian rolled his eyes at him. He didn't expect Fan Xian's thoughts to be so out of line. "I just want to tell you,

Your Majesty has been very kind to the Fan family, so you don’t have to worry about any conspiracy.”

He paused and said, "Besides, the inner treasury is your mother's property, you have to take it back."

Fan Xian looked suspicious, and it was obvious that he didn't believe him.
"My mother's property? You and my mother planned to rebel more than ten years ago?"

"Then the royal family discovered your conspiracy, and in order to prove your innocence, you handed over the inner treasury?"

"But now you have grown strong and the whole court is full of your people, so you don't plan to be patient any longer?"

Fan Xian's speculations became more and more outrageous.

"But a rebel must have military power. Do you have someone in the military?"

"Besides, I also heard that there is a great master in the palace. Are you also a martial arts master?"

Fan Jian rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

Fan Xian's nonsense,

It can't be said that it is almost the truth, but at least it can be said that it has nothing to do with it.

But if you look at the problem from Fan Xian's perspective, it seems that the Fan family is really ambitious.

Ministry of Revenue, Bookstore, Workshop, Inner Treasury...

He held all the money of the court and the royal family in his hands.

This can no longer be said to be the emperor's great grace. If there is any disloyalty, the Qing Kingdom will be in big trouble!

Normally, no emperor would allow such a thing to happen!
Not to mention the current emperor.

But Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe were able to hold greater power because of the Fourth Prince.

Nowadays, Fan Sizhe’s position in the Imperial Manor Workshop is irreplaceable, and Your Majesty cannot replace him in a short period of time.

However, bookstores can be closed with just one imperial decree, so they are not a big threat in the eyes of His Majesty.

If you forcefully dismiss them at this time, people will easily mistakenly think that Your Majesty is going to take action against Si Nanbo.

It would be better to take it step by step, first reducing the publication of these newspapers, and then slowly canceling them all.

This process doesn't take long.

And it will prevent such big changes in the political situation.

After all, Emperor Qing will use the death of the Fourth Prince to put pressure on Northern Qi.

It’s not quite appropriate to deal with the Fourth Prince’s inheritance now.

Fan Jian guessed that these were not actually reasons.

What His Majesty is really worried about is that if the Fourth Prince is not dead, the situation might be a bit embarrassing.

At the same time, he also wanted to know whether the Fourth Prince had left any followers in the court.

If not, after defeating Northern Qi, all the industries related to the Fourth Prince will be liquidated.

Fan Sizhe will retreat to the second line.

The manager will be replaced by your Majesty's people.

After all, Fan Sizhe has mastered the relevant technology, so he will not completely withdraw from the Huangzhuang Workshop.

So even though the Fan Mansion seems to be in full swing, it will soon return to normal.

Fan Xian is His Majesty's illegitimate son, so His Majesty would feel more at ease leaving the inner treasury to Fan Xian.

Fan Jian saw all this very clearly.

His mood also became calmer.

Of course, Fan Jian did not agree to let Fan Xian take over the courtyard of Old Lame Chen.

Although that was also Ye Qingmei's legacy.

Controlling the inner treasury can ensure Fan Xian's wealth and safety throughout his life.

But if I get involved in the Censorate, I will inevitably become a knife in His Majesty's hand, and the situation will become dangerous.

"Don't think too much. Just remember to take it back to the inner treasury." Fan Jian did not explain.

“There may be some small tests next.

As long as you pass it successfully, you will be able to take over the inner treasury naturally."

In fact, Fan Jian knew another piece of news.

Since Princess Chen is the daughter of the eldest princess, His Majesty has considered arranging a marriage between Fan Xian and Princess Chen.

But Princess Chen threatened to die, and persuaded several nobles in the palace.
In addition to some deals reached between the eldest princess and His Majesty, the marriage was eventually cancelled.

In this case, it would be much more difficult for Fan Xian to take over the inner treasury.

Before Fan Xian could express his opinion, there was a knock on the door, and Fan Jian couldn't help but frown.

It was Liu who walked in, holding a fruit plate in her hands, with a smile on her face, "This is Fan Xian, right? He looks exactly like you, Master."

Fan Jian glanced at her and said, "I just told Fan Xian to come and see you later, and you came in."

Liu's eyes were evasive, and she obviously knew it was inappropriate to come to the study at this time.

But she did not leave. Instead, she said something hesitantly, which instantly made Fan Jian furious.
"Master, word has spread that Fan Xian is His Majesty's illegitimate son.

But he looks so much like you, how could that be possible? The rumor is ridiculous."

"!!!"

Fan Jian's pupils trembled.

How did this matter suddenly spread?
Your Majesty has not discussed this with him!

Could it be that someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to do something?
So who could this person be?
Old Cripple Chen?
Fan Jian was puzzled.

Emperor Qing immediately became angry!

He waved his hand and threw all the memorials on the table to the ground.

But he didn't say anything, instead he suppressed his anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Chen Pingping, sitting in a wheelchair, immediately apologized.
"This matter was caused by my negligence. I will have the Overwatch Council find the person who spread the rumor as soon as possible!"

Emperor Qing turned around and stared at him fiercely, his eyes as sharp as ice, which was intimidating.

"I am puzzled. Not many people know about Fan Xian's affairs. How could it be spread so quickly?"

survey?

Emperor Qing felt that this matter did not need to be investigated at all!
Apart from him and Fan Jian, only Chen Pingping knew Fan Xian's true identity.

As for the rest, there is absolutely no way that anyone else in the entire Qing Kingdom, or even in the whole world, would know it!

If the information was leaked, it could only have been leaked from among the three of them!
Obviously, Emperor Qing was sure that he had no such thoughts, so it was impossible for him to tell this news to others.

Then it can only be Fan Jian and Chen Pingping!
"Come on, who of you two can recognize me?"

Chen Pingping was so frightened that his forehead was covered in cold sweats. He apologized and said, "I am guilty! But I definitely did not spread this matter!"

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and a chill pierced his bones. "So you mean Minister Fan?"

Chen Pingping hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly.
"I think there is no need for Minister Fan to spread this rumor!"

"Your Majesty, if it is really Minister Fan, what good will it do for him to tell this matter?"

Emperor Qing fell silent.

What Chen Pingping said makes a lot of sense.

Fan Jian's attitude has always been clear.

He made no secret of wanting Fan Xian to take over the inner treasury left behind by Xiao Ye Zi.

The news was released at this time, and he had not yet obtained the permission of the emperor.

This is very disadvantageous for Fan Xian.

So, Fan Jian would definitely not do that.

"Then who do you think it will be?"

Chen Pingping thought for a while and uttered a name, "I feel it should be Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
