Rui Hegui

Marquis of Wu'an, Fan Qiguang, is the only eldest son of the main family of the Fan family in Gyeonggi, and also the only son of the old Marquis of Wu'an.

When he was young, the old Marquis of Wu'an loved him very much. The old man had been a soldier all his life, and he could see clearly, so he never gave the moon to the stars. just fine.

But to everyone's surprise, Fan Qiguang did not become a playboy in such a doting and relaxed environment, but was influenced by his best friend Chi Tingyu. When the two first entered the Imperial College, they made an agreement with him to become famous. A great general, who defended the grand goal of the people of Daxu Sheji, and after entering the court as an official, the two joined hands to solve several military and political problems, and made military achievements in Mobei and Jiangnan respectively. They can be called young heroes, worthy of the late emperor. Favored and appreciated by hundreds of officials.

Naturally, it was inevitable to offend many dignitaries during the period. At that time, the old Marquis Wu'an, like the later Xiang Shangshu, was reluctant to let go of the single seedling in his family, so he obstructed him in every possible way, and the father and son caused trouble in the entire Hou Mansion. In the end, it was the old lady who was bedridden and pretended to be sick, so Fan Qiguang stayed in Beijing for a long time to take up an idle job.

Until the 47th year of Jianning, Chi Tingyu began to be suspected by the late emperor because of his great achievements, and was deliberately transferred back to Gyeonggi. Full of melancholy, he could only tell his best friends about his worries about Daxu's future. Jump out and see the true side of Daxu who is riddled with holes.

In the same year, the first emperor finally invited De Rui Hezi to come out of the mountain, and Yu Danchi personally greeted him with all the officials.

Due to the golden rule that Cangji should not be involved in the world, Rui Hezi returned to the secular name Wang Taboo and returned to the Wang family tree.After entering the court, the first emperor wanted to be named prime minister, but Wang Taboo flatly refused, and chose the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment that was vacant at that time.Later, Wang Taboo implemented the New Deal, which was quite effective, and had a wide following in the world. The late emperor wanted to be appointed Prime Minister again, but Wang Taboo did not refuse, but there was an accident.

It was the first month when the late emperor was about to promulgate the imperial decree. It is said that thirty miles west of Beijing, a blood-red stone was suddenly dug out in the Jingchang Canal. Afterwards, the entire canal turned red, which was strange and terrifying. Bizarre.

The abbot of Heng'en Temple at that time was shocked when he saw it, and immediately went to the palace to report, saying that it was a precursor to a bloody disaster, it was the king's decision-making fault, and the punishment from heaven was about to be punished, and it might be a bloody disaster.The late emperor asked the abbot what his "fault" was. The abbot looked at Wang Yu who was standing on the east side of the warm pavilion, shouted out his respect for the sage, and hit his head on the incense burner. He died on the spot.

In the next ten days, as if to confirm the words of the host, people died one after another in Kyoto, and it was very tragic. During the autopsy, he took out a red blood stone from the stomachs of all the dead, but the joint interrogation of the three divisions was fruitless.

Then, like a plague, this matter spread in Gyeonggi with its unique mysterious tone of ghost theory. Taboo argues that when he even began to accuse the emperors of several dynasties of Daxu for advocating Buddhism and wasting money, the first emperor suddenly realized that Wang Taboo seemed to have too many followers.

After all, the imperial decree of sealing the prime minister was still burned by the first emperor, and the officials in the court were dissatisfied and appealed one after another.

Among the courtiers who are filled with righteous indignation, there are Fan Qiguang and Chi Tingyu. They have witnessed the whole process of the New Deal, and they have also witnessed Wang Taboo's efforts to turn the tide and overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. Stone is a man-made conspiracy.

So, the two secretly went to see Xue Ran.

At that time, Xue Ran was promoted by Wang Yu, and he was already the second in command of the Ministry of War. He held real power in his hands. With him around, it would be much easier to conduct a secret investigation.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the threshold of Xue's mansion, Xue Ran knew the purpose of their visit tacitly before they even opened their mouths. The three of them hit it off immediately and started to investigate immediately.

The investigation process was unexpected, and the three of them soon found clues in Heng'en Temple. As long as they continue to investigate, the truth will surely come to light—then, how could it be true that Huitong, a generation of emperors who solved cases like a god, was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Can't find out?

The three of them returned to the city full of doubts and the evidence of Heng En Temple, and met Wang Taboo waiting for them outside Nanping Gate.

Wang Taboo directly asked his subordinates to confiscate the evidence from the three of them, and took them to a tea house in the south of the city.

Fan Qiguang remembers that this teahouse is not very famous in Beijing, and its location is remote, but Wang Yu often talks here with officials of various ministries, especially Mr. Wei Xinglin from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Whenever he runs to the south of the city, he must come here to see Wang Taboo .

"The three Chicheng loyalists, Mr. Wang hereby thank you one by one."

Wang Yu bowed his hands to the three of them, but the three of them felt that they didn't dare to do it. Before they had time to say anything, Wang Yu said again: "I disobeyed my teacher and went to Beijing to become an official. The intention was not to be appointed as a marquis to worship the minister."

Fan Qiguang couldn't help but said: "But, that's what Shang Shu deserves! How can we let the young people who are interested in it covet it?"

Wang Taboo shook his head with a smile, and looked at Fan Qiguang: "General Fan, let me ask you, what is Da Xu's priority now?"

Fan Qiguang replied: "Use the new policy to clear up the Qing Dynasty's guidelines, strictly enforce the law, and eradicate all the serious illnesses that have rotted to the bone."

"Yes, this is what we are going to do." Looking at the vast sky outside the window, Wang Taboo said, "With the power and official position in my hands, it is more than enough to play a role in the court. Besides, the New Deal is not the work of one person. Overnight, it doesn't make any difference whether I become prime minister or who becomes prime minister, as long as the New Deal is still going on, it will be a real blessing."

As long as the New Deal is still in progress, it will be a real blessing.

When the three of them heard the words, they all suddenly realized that since the appearance of the precursor blood stone, the entire court had been arguing over the matter of the king's taboo to seal the prime minister. up.

After a while, Wang Yu said: "The emperor has criticized me, and the monarchs and ministers believe that this is a big taboo, but the matter has come to this point, it is better to be indifferent, just a prime minister, let him trust me for a few more years It’s not impossible. Besides, I’ve been away from Gyeonggi for many years. I didn’t ask about the imperial court or my clan relatives. I was on the outskirts of the entanglement among the gentry, and the subsequent New Deal will affect their interests. I’m destined to be abandoned by the gentry. In other words, although I have been an official, I have never been an official.”

Wang Yu replaced the wine with tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "This is a very good deal."

Fan Qiguang saw the clarity in Wang Taboo's eyes, which was a kind of indifference bred by mountains, rivers and spiritual waters, as well as the transparency of the powerful to the world.

Some roads are destined to be lonely and cold to the bone, and they even have to be martyred, but when the end of that road is the common people, people will step on it without hesitation.

This is not not smart enough, but the choice is too firm.

At that moment, Fan Qiguang figured out a lot of things. All the chaos about the Gyeonggi family, the Ji family, and the ants and common people were quickly cut off.

Only one belief remained in his mind:

Fan Qiguang, this life is only for the people of Daxu. This is the original intention and the destination.

Therefore, he was recommended by Wang Yu, resolutely left Gyeonggi, traveled between Beiying and Northwest for many years, used his blood and scars on the battlefield to gain a deep understanding of the tribes in Mobei, and finally established a special team to deal with the tribes in Mobei Fan Jiajun played a decisive role in the subsequent northern expedition to Mobei.

Therefore, even if he was seriously injured, even if the suspicion of the monarch and his ministers was already serious, he still had to request an order to rush to the southwest to fight against Tu Yuan.

Therefore, after being stabbed with a knife from the back by one of his own people, after the Fan family army suffered heavy casualties, and after all the loyal and brave courtiers died of injustice, the Fan family army never thought of turning their back on Da Xu.

Because they are the soldiers brought out by Fan Qiguang, and they must always be loyal to the people of Daxu!

"Youbai, this is Marquis Wu'an."

In the depths of the smoky swamp, in this desperate situation full of poisonous miasmas, ants and terrifying swamps, there is a man-made ring-shaped bamboo and wood building, like a small city, which is the temporary stronghold of General Fan.Chi Tingyu, who had been the all-powerful deputy commander of Fan's army back then, had long since become a remnant of the old conspiracy, stood in front of the window lattice of one of the huts, looking at the half-day Hongxia behind the misty fog outside, and told these past events to The people behind listen.

Behind him are Chu Bandit who just woke up from the bed, Zhao Liangyue and Youbai.

Two days ago, the three were chased and killed by various people. It was Chi Tingyu who snatched them himself, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness and plunged into the smoke, leaving the pursuers completely confused, and escaped from the danger in a desperate situation.

At that time, Bandit Chu was already very weak. Just when he looked up and saw that it was Chi Tingyu, Chi Tingyu slapped his master before he could yell out. Zhao Liangyue rushed to protect him, and the angry Chi Tingyu was stunned. , Then he burst out laughing, and then gave the group of herbs to prevent poisoning in the smoke, and brought the group back to the stronghold, Chi Tingyu finally remembered, and asked someone to report to the north.

Afterwards, Zhao Liangyue took care of him day and night, and the military doctor hurriedly comforted him, saying that General Chi provided the best wound medicine, and the situation has stabilized now, and there is no serious problem, so there is no need to worry too much.

Zhao Liangyue didn't say anything, he just asked the military doctor to retreat, and the military doctor left knowingly, and was dragged aside by Chi Tingyu as soon as he went out.

Chi Tingyu said: "Hey, be honest, I want to ask you something, and explain it honestly!"

In front of him was a famous general who was once a man who was in charge of everything. He could crush human bones with the flick of a finger. How could the military doctor dare to say no?Hurry up and nod like garlic.

But the military doctor didn't expect that Chi Tingyu stroked his beard and glanced at the door of the room, and asked him with a smile: "Is that the relationship between my disciple Chu Bandit and that little adult named Zhao Liangyue?"

The military doctor was stunned at first, then thought of the kiss between the two adults in the carriage that day, and felt that his heart was about to stop beating again. Yang addiction!

Chi Tingyu looked at the trembling look of the military doctor, clicked his tongue and said with a smile: "That seems to be it."

The military doctor closed his eyes tightly, waiting for Chi Tingyu to go crazy, and thought, Chu Shangshu, this is really not what his subordinates said, it was General Chi who is very smart, and he guessed it himself. Blame my subordinates!

Unexpectedly, Chi Tingyu laughed twice, and said: "Okay! I don't look very Zhou Zheng, but fortunately, the apprentice-in-law Zhou Zheng I found for me is quite discerning, and she is also a kidnapped junior, it's too late!"

The military doctor couldn't believe his ears...

Until this afternoon, Chu Bandit finally woke up after being in a coma for two full days. Zhao Liangyue hurriedly asked Youbai to notify the others.

Chi Tingyu said all kinds of disgust and harsh criticism, but in fact, he came over faster than anyone else, and after checking it himself, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The antidote from me is more effective, the one you have on you , or was it given to you by Miracle Doctor Zhong before? It’s no longer useful now.”

"Thank you Master for saving me."

Bandit Chu was about to kneel as he said that, but was stopped by Chi Tingyu.

How could he not know what his apprentice was thinking?It's just that I have to do some things, and I have to bear the pain of sin.

"Okay, don't need to say more." Chi Tingyu looked at the people in the enclosure and said, "Yunhong, Mr. Zhao, stay with Youbai, and let the others go out."

The rest of the people in the room retreated after hearing the words, and Chi Tingyu didn't wait for the three to ask anything. Chi Tingyu sighed and took off the seal of the past.

Regarding Youbai, especially the attitude of Zhao Liangyue and the Xiao family towards him, as well as the mysteries of the Xiao family itself, Chu Biao has always been suspicious. Until today, Youbai was treated specially again.

Until Chi Tingyu turned his head, a pair of red eyes looked at Youbai, and his voice trembled slightly: "This is my best friend, and even more your father."

Chu Bandit bowed his body, and there were bursts of severe pain in his heart. He could only hold his heart tightly with his hands, and then seemed to think of something suddenly, and said: "That year when the case happened, Mrs. Wu'anhou...it seems to be true. Pregnant with Liujia."

However, Mrs. Marquis Wu'an is in poor health. She never goes out on weekdays, and she will suffer from cold and sickness in the cold wind. Therefore, Fan Qiguang will never force her to bear a child for him. Even that child was conceived by accident. It is said that Fan Qiguang He had asked Miracle Doctor Zhong to set up a safe method for abortion, because Mrs. Wu'an Hou's body couldn't bear it at all, and giving birth to that child was tantamount to committing suicide.

However, she finally chose to sacrifice her life to leave the last bit of blood for her husband.

Youbai widened his eyes in disbelief, his first reaction was to look at Zhao Liangyue, Zhao Liangyue nodded to him.

Youbai staggered two steps back, tears couldn't stop falling down, she opened her mouth to cry out, but it was called a silent roar.

Chi Tingyu came over, put his hands on Youbai's trembling shoulders, and said: "Your father is a hero who went to war in danger, and your parents paid for their lives to give birth to you. Although they are gone , but they...really love you."

The wailing in Youbai's throat finally burst out like a dike, heart-piercing.

It turned out that his parents were never the unfeeling villagers who abandoned him back then. Like the son, they were the people who loved him the most in the world, and they were loyal generals for the country and the people.

However, he didn't even see them for the last time.

If possible, he really wants to have a memory with them, and every time he thinks about it after a while, he will have an extremely happy memory.

"So far, no one knows what happened on Kunshan Mountain back then, which made your father fail to go down the mountain." Chi Tingyu embraced Youbai, hugged him tightly, and said with sharp eyes, "But believe in Uncle Chi, For that debt back then, we will definitely let those people pay with their blood!"
