Chongxi [rebirth]

However, in just half a month, Li Fengqi used thunderous means to make these officials understand that he is different from any previous ones. A monarch will not be soft or hard, unless he wants to, no one should think about it. change his mind.

And? For such a tough and iron-blooded emperor, the only Nilin is the newly-appointed King Chang? Ning.

Many family officials were forced by the emperor's deterrence, and no longer dared to touch Nilin easily.But in the end I am still not convinced? I feel that King Chang Ning has his current status, but because of his previous ideas and affection, Israel's servants will not be able to last for a long time. It is not uncommon for Ai Chi to decline.

So even? Ye Yunting is now the chief? King Ning, who sits on the dragon chair with the emperor and holds power together.There are still many officials who respect him on the surface, but chew their tongues behind their backs.

Some people say that he is obviously a man, but he is not ashamed to be a sycophant because he is willing to serve others; some people say that the empty space in his belly is an embroidered pillow;How high is it being praised now, will it fall in the future? How miserable...

How jealous those people are, how unbearable the rumors spread.

And? Gong Zhong has sharp eyes and ears, so naturally he would not be ignorant of these rumors that were spreading in private.

"These people say in private that we can't punish them one by one." Ye Yunting is very open-minded. He grew up in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child, and he has suffered more rumors than now, so he doesn't take it to heart. go.

On the contrary, Li Fengqi was very unhappy when he heard it, but it was indeed as what Ye Yunting said, those people said it in private, and it would be detrimental to Ye Yunting's reputation if he punished people for this reason.

"That's all." Li Fengqi thought for a while, did he suppress his anger? He snorted and said, "They will regret it later."

After finishing speaking, he skipped this unpleasant topic, and said: "News came from Nanyue that they have pretended to agree to form an alliance with Dongyi. At that time, Nanyue will be the bait and take the lead in attacking Runan. After luring us to send troops, Dongyi will attack again. , Attack Zhongzhou and Yuzhou with all your strength.”

"If you capture Zhongzhou, Shangjing will be in jeopardy. Dongyi's ambition is not small." Ye Yunting frowned deeply: "What are you going to do? How to deal with it?"

"Nanyue? With your mother in town, it's nothing to worry about. At that time, Jiang Shu or Zhu Lie and others will be sent to lead troops to make a show. On Dongyi's side, I'm going to lead troops to conquer."

Li Fengqi's eyes gleamed, and ambition was hidden deep in his eyes: "Dongyi sent it up without hesitation, if I didn't refuse this great gift, wouldn't I be sorry for their intention to send the head from thousands of miles away."

"Then? I'll take care of it in Shangjing." Ye Yunting said after thinking for a moment.

If other people listened to Li Fengqi's thoughts, they would probably persuade him to put his own safety first. After all, now he is not only the God of War in Beizhao, but also the lord of a country.The safety of the monarch is related to the country, so naturally one should not take risks lightly.What's more, there are lessons learned from Li Zongzaohe's defeat and serious injury. Those stubborn and conservative veterans must have many reasons to object.

But Ye Yunting understood what he was thinking, now that Xihuang was in a bad mood, and because of his relationship with He Lanyuan, Nanyue must be good-neighborly and friendly.Only Dongyi is like a hyena that stares at you fiercely. When you gain power, it will do a little low, and when you lose power, it can't wait to jump up and want to bite you.

If such a neighbor stays for a long time, it will be a disaster sooner or later.

Li Fengqi wanted to lead the troops to go out in person to eradicate the hidden danger of Dongyi in one fell swoop, out of long-term considerations.

"You still know me best." Li Fengqi lazily relaxed his body, and lay down on the soft bed, with his head resting on his lap, and complained: "If a few days later? I bring it up in the court, then? I'm afraid the gangster Yongchen will grow up again? I can't afford to kneel."

Although it can't shake his decision, it's really annoying to come back and forth every three days.

"There are still too few available manpower." Li Fengqi sighed with a headache.

Nowadays, these courtiers are not necessarily able to do things? They are very capable, but their ability to stir up trouble is first-class.Except for a few capable ones, the rest of the gang, according to Li Fengqi's temper, can't wait to tell them to go as far as they can.

"Isn't Enke already opened? After the imperial examination, many useful talents will be selected. Earlier in Jizhou and Weizhou, a group of young officials were also promoted. After a period of inspection, if they are suitable for use, they will be... You can transfer to Shangjing to fill in the vacancy." Ye Yunting looked down at him, and lightly pressed his fingertips on the crease between his brows.

"It's easy to say, but how can it be so fast? You still have to work hard." Li Fengqi was used to killing on the battlefield, and was most impatient with handling these trivial matters, so he could only let Ye Yunting worry about it.

If he had a choice, he would rather make Ye Yunting the emperor, and he himself would be a great general to guard the country for him.

Li Fengqi sighed, becoming more and more dissatisfied with the arrangement of Ye Yunting by those outside.He held his finger, put it on his lips, and kissed lightly on the light pink fingertip.

Ye Yunting curled up his fingers and chuckled lightly, but he didn't feel that it was hard work.

Can be an eagle soaring in the sky, who would be willing to be a canary in a cage?

***

On April 25, there was an urgent report from Babaili from Runan.

The Queen Mother of Nanyue Chen Bing 20 at the border of Runan, she revealed that she is the daughter of the He family? Seek justice for the He family who died in vain.However, many of the defenders in Runan used to be under the command of the He family. After hearing about this incident, they surrendered without a fight, and opened the city gates to welcome the South Vietnamese army into the city.

But within a few days, the three states of Runan fell completely.

The battle report was sent back to Beijing, shocking the ruling and opposition parties.

Previously, the Zhao family's treason case involved the dirty things that Emperor Xianzong did; now that the He family's treason case is uncovered, what will be involved?

The government and the public were panicked for a while, but now it is the Empress Dowager Nanyue who wants to vindicate the He family, so what can they do?

On the contrary, Li Fengqi looked at those old ministers with apprehensive expressions, and there was some interest in his eyes: "It seems that Nanyue's dispatch of troops this time is a famous teacher?"

An old minister came forward and said: "It was someone who found out that He's daughter? had been in private contact with the Nanyue prince, and that's why the He family's treason case was brought up. The evidence for this case is solid. Besides, that? He's daughter? Not only did he live well? He even became the Queen Mother of Nanyue. Isn’t that the ironclad evidence? The fact that the He family has been pulled out right now is just a cover for us to invade our Beizhao land!”

The rest immediately echoed the words: "Your Majesty, please send troops as soon as possible to take back the three prefectures in Runan to show the country's prestige!"

"It's just a small country in South Vietnam, why should we be afraid of it?!"

Looking at the upright and upright faces below, Li Fengqi's eyes darkened, and he looked at the silent Ye Zhili: "What is the Duke of Qi's opinion? I heard that you and the Queen Mother of Nanyue were close friends when you were young."

He said lightly, but Ye Zhili felt that it weighed a thousand catties.He wasn't sure how much Li Fengqi knew, so he could only force a smile, and thought about it: "That? Daughter? Contact?"

Li Fengqi made a long voice, "Oh", but threw down a secret letter, and said with a sneer, "There is no communication, but I got the news, what? The Empress Dowager Nanyue asked you by name?"

Ye Zhili's expression froze, and he stared at the letter in horror. After a while, he stepped forward with his stiff body and picked up the letter.

——See that? There are only a few words in the letter. One is to ask Li Fengqi to restore the glory of the He family for fear of rehabilitating the He family; the other is to ask Li Fengqi to send someone to send Ye Zhili to Runan.If the two conditions are met, Nanyue will stop. Otherwise, Nanyue will not only take down the three states in Runan, but will continue to move northward until it flattens Shangjing.

Ye Zhili's fingers crumpled and crumpled the letter paper.

"Do you have something to say?" Li Fengqi looked at his expression and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I really don't know." Ye Zhili knelt on the ground begging for mercy with a face full of panic.

Of course he knew why He Lanyuan? Calling him by name, just as he had always missed He Lanyuan in these years, He Lanyuan must be thinking of him all the time.

It's just that he did it because of unwillingness and jealousy, while He Lanyuan did it because of hatred.

Ever since He Lanyuan escaped from the Duke's Mansion, he has guessed the other party? She must have fled to Nanyue. Apart from the Duke's Mansion, Bei Zhao has no place to live for her, but Nanyue still has Helian who is absolutely devoted to her. Xu.After she escaped, he kept sending people to South Vietnam to inquire about the news, and as expected, he learned that there was a woman named He Yuan beside the sixth prince, He Lianxu.

He Lianxu's biological mother had a humble status and was not loved by the Nanyue king. After she became an adult, she joined a famous teacher to practice martial arts and did not participate in the disputes of the Nanyue king's court.But after He Lanyuan went to Nanyue, the two teamed up and overcame obstacles all the way, finally won the throne.

At that time, He Lianxu and He Lanyuan were so happy, so he was jealous and panicked.

Obviously he and He Lanyuan knew each other when they were young and took care of him everywhere, but He Lanyuan only regarded him as a big brother.Going out secretly for a trip, instead? He fell in love at first sight with Lian Xu who didn't know the details.But she didn't know it, and after returning to Beijing, she often talked about He Lianxu with him. What do you call him? Not jealous?

He Lanyuan came from the He family in Runan, and it was a time of great power.However, the government of the State of Qi has nothing to rely on, and the sun is declining.

All he can do is take the sun off the sky with the help of Hou Yi.Without the He family, didn't He Lanyuan easily fall into his hands?

The only unexpected thing was that He Lanyuan escaped with Wang's help.Furthermore, she escaped to South Vietnam smoothly and became He Lianxu's queen.

It seems that what he did before is like a joke, and once He Lianxu secures the throne, he may take revenge on He Lanyuan under the teasing of He Lanyuan, so he revealed He Lanyuan's true identity It was given to He Lianxu's opponent.

Nanyue is different from Beizhao. Apart from the royal family, several great generals are quite powerful. The princes who have their own support don't want He Lianxu to suddenly rise up and snatch the throne.So the little news he revealed was enough to make He Lianxu, who had not yet secured the throne, very anxious.

And? What he expected was right. After the news spread, He Lianxu was seriously injured in the attack, and He Lanyuan was questioned.

It's a pity that in such a desperate situation, He Lanyuan turned over.

Ye Zhili's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, the current He Lanyuan must have mastered the authority in Nanyue, and he can't wait to tear him into pieces.

He must not fall into the hands of the other party.

He knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy in his mouth, but he had already made plans in his heart, thinking about what to do? Let's deal with Li Fengqi first.

Fortunately, Li Fengqi didn't seem to know anything? After looking at him for a while, he was put back in the list.

"South Vietnam is rampant to this point. In order to promote our country's prestige, there is bound to be a fierce battle. Who is willing to lead the army?"

When the words fell, one person said in a fit of anger: "I am willing to go!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Jiang Shu, Marquis of Zhenguo, and immediately understood.In the past, the generals who guarded the northern border were all confidantes of His Majesty, and now they have been conferred titles. Now that the South Vietnamese soldiers are approaching the city, they will naturally go through fire and water for the emperor.Only they have that confidence.

Seeing that Jiang Shu took the initiative to invite Ying, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Fengqi glanced at it, and said: "Then? Then? Zhen Guohou will lead the troops. If the troops are insufficient, they can be dispatched from Longyou and Nieyang."

Jiang Shu agreed, and this day's court meeting will be over.

The next day, Jiang Shu indeed dispatched [-] troops and rushed to Runan.

Li Fengqi and Ye Yunting went out of the city to see each other off in person, doing a lot of extravagant work.

Ten days later, Jiang Shu led his troops to Runan and had several skirmishes with the South Vietnamese army occupying Runan.Given the huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, Beizhao had no advantage, so he could only deploy troops from Fanzhou, Haixi and other places for support.

However, as soon as Fanzhou Haixi's troops arrived in Runan and joined Jiang Shu, Zhongzhou sent back an urgent report-Dongyi took advantage of the fact that Fanzhou Haixi had mobilized a large number of troops, and when the troops were weak, they led a surprise attack and caught Yuzhou by surprise.

The three states in Longyou are Yuzhou, Fanzhou and Haixi.

The main forces of Fanzhou and Haixi were transferred to support Runan, so that when Yuzhou was raided, it was unable to support it.The governor of Yuzhou had no choice but to abandon the city and flee with the people.

Now that Yuzhou has fallen, Dongyi has occupied the empty city and is reorganizing its troops to attack Zhongzhou. The blade is aimed directly at Shangjing.

The south and east were breached one after another, and Shangjing was panicked for a while.The courtiers who had previously clamored to promote the country's prestige changed their minds, suggesting that it is better to temporarily stabilize Nanyue and call back troops to deal with Dongyi with all their strength.

After all, didn't the Queen Mother of Nanyue mentioned two conditions before, as long as there are conditions, they can talk about it.

Before Li Fengqi and Ye Yunting who were sitting on top could speak, the courtiers below divided themselves into two factions and quarreled.

The main combat faction believes that Beizhao has enough troops, even if it fights with Dongyi and Nanyue at the same time, it is enough to support it.If you easily admit defeat to the peace talks, you may be subject to a small country in the future. The main peace faction believes that Beizhao has just been hit by a snowstorm, and His Majesty has been exempted from taxes for three years after he ascended the throne. The treasury is empty and the army is sufficient.Therefore, we insist on talking with South Vietnam first.

Ye Zhili lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, and from time to time he helped the main fighter to fight, his eyes flickering darkly.

He can't handle it? This battle will be fought more fiercely. At that time, Bei Zhao will be overwhelmed by the enemy, and he will help Dong Yi break through the gate of Shangjing... Then? All the current threats will disappear in smoke.

The Duke of Qi's mansion will not fall down, but? He will have the last laugh.

Listening to the quarrel below? It’s almost time, Li Fengqi said in an unquestionable tone: "I led the army to conquer Dongyi, and King Chang Ning went to Beijing to support him. Another team of envoys was sent to Runan to talk with Nanyue to show sincerity. , Dali Temple Minister Wang Qie is in charge of thoroughly investigating the old case of the He family."

After finishing speaking, his eyes moved to Ye Zhili who was trying his best to hide his color, and he said slowly: "Take down the traitor Ye Zhili and hand it over to Dali Temple for interrogation?"

Ye Zhili's expression changed, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Fengqi: "I don't know what I have committed?"

"Collude with Dongyi, collaborating with the enemy and treason." Li Fengqi looked cold, ordered the guards outside the hall to detain him, and said slowly: "As for other crimes, let the minister of Dali Temple have a trial, I understand."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the guards to take him down.

Ye Zhili struggled unwillingly, and was about to cry for injustice.But I saw Wang Qi approaching with his sleeves in his hands, and took out a stack of letters: "You have conclusive evidence of colluding with Dongyi, Mr. Ye, why don't you save some strength? Wait until you are underground, and it will not be too late to complain to the Lord of Hell."

After finishing speaking, she smiled politely at him, but that look seemed to hide a knife, and she couldn't wait to cut him into pieces.

When Ye Zhili looked at the stack of letters, he knew he was about to fall.

He wandered around the hall, but saw the other people eagerly looking away, for fear of getting involved with him.

He gritted his teeth, knowing that if it really fell into Wang Qie's hands, his life would be worse than death.Looking at the pillars beside him, he was hesitating to kill himself, but he listened to Wang Qie's order: "Take care of the man, don't tell him to seek death."

After speaking, he approached Ye Zhili, and said softly, "There is a cell in the prison of Dali Temple. I specially prepared it for you in the year when Qingniang went there."

Ye Zhili's whole body turned cold, and his expression was horrified.

Wang Qie smiled happily and ordered someone to take him away?
