Fan Xian did not plead for mercy for anyone. In " Celebrating Years," Fan Xian asked the Emperor to punish Li Yunrui severely and not plead for the Eldest Princess or Fan Sizhe. His decision was based on his own judgment. He believed that he could not let Teng Zijing die in vain. The Qing Emperor was satisfied with Fan Xian's decision and believed that Fan Xian would manage the palace treasury and the Inspection Council in the future.
Whether or not Fan Xian should plead for leniency was a controversial issue in " Celebrating Years." On the one hand, Fan Xian had once pleaded for leniency on behalf of the Eldest Princess in order to resolve the estrangement between Fan Sizhe and his father, Fan Jian, and resolve the tension in their relationship. He expressed his admiration and approval for Fan Sizhe and hoped that he could help him solve the problem. On the other hand, there were also people who believed that Fan Xian should not plead for leniency because the Eldest Princess was hostile to him. Furthermore, Fan Xian's plea for leniency might bring trouble to himself. Based on the information provided, it was impossible to determine whether Fan Xian should plead for leniency.
The reason Fan Xian did not plead was probably because the Eldest Princess did not want him to plead for her. Fan Xian had once pleaded for leniency on behalf of the Eldest Princess, hoping to use this method to resolve the estrangement between Fan Sizhe and Fan Jian and ease the tension in the relationship between father and son. However, the Eldest Princess did not want Fan Xian to plead on her behalf. This might be because Fan Xian had married the Eldest Princess 'daughter, Lin Wan' er. The Eldest Princess 'power had already threatened the Qing Emperor's imperial power. The Qing Emperor was worried that Fan Xian would rely on the Eldest Princess out of his feelings for Lin Wan 'er and the temptation of being able to peacefully take over the palace treasury. In addition, Fan Xian's pleading might cause his image in front of the Qing Emperor to be damaged. Therefore, Fan Xian might decide not to plead for mercy to avoid further trouble and conflict.
