"I see you, Your Majesty."

Li Yi bowed and saluted.

The imperial study was very quiet. After a while, the emperor finally said, "Guess why I summoned you."

"Peng Yushi's suicide and the incident in Sui'an County have caused many people to question the emperor."

"The public opinion was huge and very rapid."

"It's definitely human-driven."

"The only person who dares to bully the emperor so blatantly is..."

Li Yi paused, "Zhou Pan and Zhou Gui were taken to the Eastern Wei Division. The emperor probably wanted to get rid of the situation of one country and two masters."

"I am willing to do my best."

Li Yi looked at the emperor with a red face.

"You still dare to say it."

The emperor walked over and patted Li Yi hard twice on the shoulder.

"Now, I am like a lonely person."

"There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the dynasty, but I don't know who can be trusted." The emperor sneered.

"Si Jian, you once said that a scholar can also carry a sword, so I leave the garrison of Jian'an to you."

What?

Li Yi looked at the emperor in shock, it was so sudden!

Does this give him military power?

"Go tomorrow morning, don't let me down."

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that Li Yi could leave.

"My minister retire."

Li Yi left the imperial study room with a confused look on his face.

"Eunuch He, what happened? There are so many capable people in the court, why did the emperor leave the garrison to me?"

Li Yimeng grabbed He Quan and asked in a low voice.

"Secretary General, this is how much the Emperor values ​​you."

He Quan nodded towards Li Yi, turned and left.

Li Yi frowned, did he care? Go ahead and fool the devil.

To force the garrison to him, something must have happened.

It's not like Chu State has no one available. Even if you count on your fingers, it won't be his turn to take charge of the army.

Could it be!

Li Yi raised his eyes and his pupils shrank. Did the emperor already know the layout of the Supreme Emperor over the years?

If so, it makes sense.

Of all the suspicions, he is undoubtedly the least likely.

"Jian'er, you have entered the palace too."

The sudden words interrupted Li Yi's contemplation.

Seeing Father Sheng, Li Yi froze in front of him. He looked around, took a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, the emperor suspects that all the officials are a secret chess piece of the Supreme Emperor. When you go in, be careful."

"I think he's about to make a big move."

"You just handed over the garrison to me and asked me to go there tomorrow morning." Li Yi spoke very fast.

Father Sheng's eyes were shocked, "The emperor will hand over the garrison to you?"

Li Yi nodded.

"I'm afraid there's going to be chaos."

Father Sheng looked stern.

"Jian'er, you go back first, don't rush to sleep."

Father Sheng told Li Yi, and under the guidance of the eunuch, he walked towards the imperial study.

In the carriage, Li Yi's eyes were deep. There was no way that the old scumbag had revealed this matter.

But at this moment, the water in Jian'an was deeper than he thought.

In the royal study, the emperor wiped the blood on his long sword. What's the use of keeping it for those who are disloyal to the emperor.

"Drag down."

The emperor's tone was indifferent.

"next."

Father Sheng turned around and looked at the people being carried out, his steps a little heavier.

It is foreseeable what kind of fight will follow.

The relationship between father and son was gone for both of them.

The court will be a wave of bloodbath.

No one knows the winner until the last moment.

"Didn't sleep."

Li Yi sat by the couch, looked at Yun Niang's clear eyes, and helped him sit up.

"Madam, you can't stay here in Jian'an any longer."

Holding Yun Niang in his arms, Li Yi spoke softly.

"The emperor gave me the garrison."

"He should know about the Supreme Emperor's cultivation of Dark Chess."

"And this cannot be what the Supreme Emperor told him."

"So……"

Li Yi looked far away, "Everything is under that person's control."

"How profound is the foundation of holding the Second Emperor in the palm of your hand?"

"I even suspect that those hidden chess pieces may not all belong to the Supreme Emperor."

"It looks like a minister with one surname, but in fact, he has two surnames."

Li Yi spoke slowly.

Yun Niang raised her eyes and pinched Li Yi's sleeve, "You can't stay in Jian'an anymore, you must leave with me."

"The garrison is so important, how could that person miss it?"

"If you go there, you will be a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."

"Li Yi, we don't take this risk."

There was prayer in Yun Niang's eyes. She was really afraid that Li Yi would never come back after he left.

The situation was even more serious than when he was in Qin State. The emperor favored Li Yi, and everyone in the Chu State knew that he would definitely be on the list of people to be killed.

"My dear wife, don't be afraid."

"I don't take risks."

Li Yi scratched Yun Niang's nose with a smile on his face.

"With the current situation, there is no time for me to rectify it. Although military power is tempting, it must be able to be used."

"Otherwise, it's a turning blade."

"When I get to the station, I will find a way to get out."

"From light to dark."

"Yes." Yun Niang responded softly, holding Li Yi tightly in her arms.

"Sir, Minister Sheng is here."

The guard spoke outside.

Li Yi stroked Yun Niang's back and said, "I'm going to see my father-in-law first."

Wrapping Yun Niang in a quilt, Li Yi left the house.

"Jian'er, this station is full of dangers. It's impossible to get there." Father Sheng said in a solemn voice.

"There were three levels of officials who entered the palace tonight and were killed by the emperor."

"The emperor in the court can arrange people, let alone garrison."

"Once you pass, life or death will be uncertain."

"The emperor is also confused, expecting you to control the garrison!"

Father Sheng was a little angry.

Li Yi felt warm in his heart. The emperor had no way out and no one could believe him.

Now I'm pinning my hopes on him.

After all, Master Wudao will not lie.

"Isn't Xun Xiu here? I'll ask him to prescribe medicine for you. It's impossible for the emperor to still hold you when you're in a coma."

"Father-in-law, this will only annoy him."

"The Emperor has no patience at all now."

"If you dare to get sick, Hedinghong will be sent to you immediately."

"You take Yun'er and leave Jian'an immediately for Qin State. There is no need to come back."

After taking two steps, Father Sheng looked at Li Yi and said.

"Father-in-law, I am leaving now, and the Sheng family will inevitably bear the emperor's wrath."

"Even if Yun'er and I survive, we will have to feel guilty for the rest of our lives."

"I have made up my mind and will leave early tomorrow morning." Li Yi looked determined.

"I also ask my father-in-law to believe that I can handle this situation."

Father Sheng looked at Li Yi for a while, sighed, and walked out.

Without leaving the Si Mansion, Sheng's father entered Xun Xiu's courtyard.

"Can't you just check the time? It's so late at night that it wakes people up."

"Who has a sudden illness?"

Xun Xiu had a long face, and he was still very angry when he got up.

"When you wake up, just drink two drinks with me."

Father Sheng sat down, minding his own business.

"Jian'an is going to be in chaos. No matter who wins, the country will never be stable."

"The Second Emperor..."

Father Sheng sighed and poured himself some wine, "The treasury is seriously in deficit and the accounts are wrong."

"I don't know if this money went into the hands of the Supreme Emperor, or..."

"The emperor's chances of victory are slim. When he falls off the throne, the Sheng family will be destroyed."

Father Sheng took a sip of wine and said, "The Sheng family can't escape, but Jian'er is young and extremely intelligent. It's a pity."

"Give me a few packets of drowsy medicine. It will take a little longer."

Father Sheng said as he poured the wine, his expression was very calm.
