Chongxi [rebirth]

In the end, Li Fengqi couldn't get a satisfactory reward from Ye Yunting.On the contrary, after Ye Yunting choked on him, he was very happy to see his deflated face.

These days, Li Fengqi is messing around in the open and in the dark, no matter whether he accepts the trick or not, he will always get involved in the end.Now that I think about it, I still have to strike first in order to win by surprise.

Having won once for the first time, Ye Yunting was in a great mood, and wandered around to greet the guests.

The brocade robe with red background and black border made him tall and tall, and he moved among the guests calmly, like pearls and jade falling among the tiles. Li Fengqi looked at him, and all eyes were on him.

Zhu Lie, whose face was flushed from drinking, came to look for him.Seeing that he was looking at one place without blinking, he stared suspiciously, and imitated him to look in one direction with his short body: "My lord, what are you looking at?" He drank a lot and couldn't speak very clearly. .

"It's settled?" Li Fengqi glanced at him, smelling the smell of alcohol all over his body, and moved away in disgust.

"Okay, okay..." Zhu Lie counted with his fingers: "After drinking seven or eight jars of wine, Qi Shao got down."

Li Fengqi disliked it: "I'm asking for your money!"

Qi Shao is the minister of the Ministry of War, and all military supplies in northern Xinjiang have to go from the Ministry of War.In the past, he and Li Zong were still of the same mind. He knew that the national treasury was not rich, and he would subsidize it himself if he could pay for it. He rarely asked the Ministry of War for money.But today is different from the past, you still have to ask for what you need, as for what you owed in the past, you can get back as much as you want.

"Oh." Zhu Lie reacted dizzily for a while, finally remembered the business, and said beamingly: "Are we rich?" He danced and said, "10 taels! 10 taels! There is still..." He was confused again, and began to repeatedly calculate how much was left.

Li Fengqi was expressionless: "There is still 2 taels left. You and Qi Shao have been arguing for a long time, and you just took out 10 taels?"

They have been living on their own all these years, and they haven't asked the Ministry of War for money much, and 10 taels is not much.

Zhu Lie was quite aggrieved: "That old fox Qi Shao. The money in his pocket is so easy to dig. Whenever I ask for money, he scolds me at the household department gang, saying that the military expenditure is not enough..."

Li Fengqi thought about Qi Shao's iron rooster, and thought that if he hadn't been drunk today, it would be less than 10 taels, so he gave up for now.

He pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Don't return the silver, send it to Weizhou, and ask Zhu Wen to prepare another batch of grain and grass."

Hearing him talk about Beijiang, Zhu Lie's dizzy eyes cleared up a lot, and he lowered his voice and said, "My lord is going to make a move...?"

Li Fengqi glanced at him, shook his head, but didn't say much: "Now it's just a guess, so be prepared. Go and ask for the money from the Ministry of War as soon as possible, don't let them delay."

The two were talking in a low voice, Ye Yunting sent off the guests almost, when he came back, he saw the two of them muttering together, curiously asked: "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about what the prince is looking at." As soon as he came over, Zhu Lie remembered the topic at the beginning. He kept his body short and smiled with vacant eyes: "I know now, the prince is looking at the princess!" He muttered Muttering, but the voice is not small: "Why can't you watch enough in the bedroom, and stare outside?"

Ye Yunting: "..."

He looked at Zhu Lie suspiciously, wondering whether he was talking drunk or cooperating with Li Fengqi to play him.

In the end it turned out he was really drunk.While talking, the person was already sitting on the ground.

Unable to argue with a drunkard, Ye Yunting could only pretend he didn't hear, and said: "I'll ask my servants to send him back to rest."

"What does he do? He's rough and thick, so he'll be fine even if he sleeps here overnight." Li Fengqi grabbed him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I haven't seen enough yet." .”

Ye Yunting: "..."

Can this person be a little serious?

He kept smiling, and pulled his sleeve back from Li Fengqi's hand: "As long as the prince doesn't speak, I won't leave in a hurry."

Li Fengqi pretended to be aggrieved: "But if I don't speak, how can I let the eldest son know my intentions?"

He sighed and said: "If the eldest son doesn't like to listen, I'll just say it in my heart." After speaking, he took a pair of phoenix eyes and looked at Ye Yunting affectionately.

Ye Yunting was covered in goose bumps.

He stretched out his hand to grab Li Fengqi's wheelchair expressionlessly, turned him around, and said perfunctorily: "My lord, go back to the house first, I'll settle things here before I go back." step away.

Li Fengqi looked back at him with a deep smile.

Let's see how long he can last.

After Ye Yunting finished dealing with the affairs in the front yard, it was nearly dusk when he returned to the main yard.

When he came back in the evening glow, he saw Li Fengqi wiping a knife in the courtyard.The Xiaoxue knife was polished extremely shiny by him, a pair of cold eyes reflected on the palm-width knife.

The last time Li Fengqi took out this knife was when they went to welcome the old concubine back to the mansion.

Ye Yunting's heart moved slightly, he waved away the servant who was serving him, and talked to him: "Has there been any changes recently?"

The Xiaoxue knife is Li Fengqi's most commonly used weapon. When the cold knife is out of its sheath, something big will happen.

"The case of Yin Chengru is settled." Li Fengqi said unhurriedly just as he put the saber back into its sheath.

Five days ago, Wang Qie visited the palace.At that time, he had already found sufficient evidence to prove that Yin Chengru's private deployment of troops was true.And Li Fengqi added a handful of firewood for him, and sent the letter of Yin Chengru's transaction with the Xihuang businessman.Now that the evidence of Yin Chengru's guilt is solid and the arguments are indisputable, Dali Temple will convict Yin Chengru in a few days.

Privately deploying troops is also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Capital punishment is inevitable.

Dali Temple investigated the case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice reviewed it, and then handed it over to Yushitai for final ruling. The third judge convicted him, and even Li Zong was powerless to recover.

Ye Yunting quickly figured out the inner key: "Will the Yin family recognize it so easily?"

If Yin Chengru was beheaded, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason would be completely nailed to death.Even if Li Xing doesn't pursue it at that time, it will be a big criticism for the Yin family.With the current power of the Yin family, it doesn't look like they are willing to suffer the loss of being dumb.

"With Yin Xiaozhi's character, he won't recognize it." Li Fengqi said slowly: "The spies came to report that the people under Han Chan's subordinates have had a lot of contacts with the Yin family recently."

Yin Xiaozhi was nearly [-] years old, and he had sat on the position of the Great Governor for decades. He was decisive in killing and attacking, and his methods were extraordinary.The biggest somersault he has ever faced in his life is probably even this time.Moreover, it was his youngest son who was about to be beheaded for punishment, and he would never admit it easily.

Coupled with the recent frequent contacts with Han Chan, if Li Fengqi's deduction is correct, he probably intends to confirm the treason.

Ye Yunting looked slightly startled, and his voice became lower and lower: "Does he really dare to rebel?"

Li Fengqi looked playful: "Whether you dare to bear the stigma of treason or not, it is not surprising that the Yin family will fight to the death." What's more, there is Han Chan instigating.

Beizhao lasted for hundreds of years, and when it was handed down to Emperor Chengzong, it was already on the decline.When it came to Emperor Xianzong, he was extravagant and licentious, ignoring government affairs, which only increased internal friction.In Li Zong's hands, even though Li Fengqi's sea-fixing needle was in place, he gradually revealed the tendency of being strong on the outside and doing things on the inside.

In the past few years, Xihuang has become more and more fierce, Nanyue has continued to rise, and Dongyi has continued to make small moves.Under the gaze of the pack of wolves, Beizhao's army wasted a lot, and the strength of several governor's mansions near the border has greatly increased.

Throughout the dynasties, the weaker the master, the stronger the minister.

Li Zong was young, and with Li Fengqi's assistance, he had achievements and methods, but they were not enough to suppress these old officials.In the past, it was possible to rely on Li Fengqi to stabilize this group of people, but now the relationship between the two is tense, and the discord has been put on the surface, and the minds of these veterans have become active.

The reason why no one dared to act rashly was because no one wanted to be the first to bear the infamy of a traitor.

But the Yin family is now being forced to "mountain Liang" step by step.

Ye Yunting raised his eyebrows lightly, if the Yin family really turned their backs, then the direction of this life will be completely different from the previous life.He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad for a while, he just felt worried.

"What does your lord want?"

"I want to take the eldest son to visit northern Xinjiang." Li Fengqi raised his head and smiled at him, his eyes were full of tenderness and arrogance: "I will not take the initiative to break this short-term peace, but in troubled times, disputes are inevitable. Otherwise, there must be a place for me in this great Beizhao."

He stretched out his hand towards Ye Yunting: "Will the eldest son go with me?"

Ye Yunting stared down at his outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it: "I haven't seen the grasslands and fierce horses in northern Xinjiang."

"I'll take you to see it." Li Fengqi smiled: "I won't disappoint you."

Ye Yunting was tightly clenched by him, and feeling the continuous warmth from his palm, his heart beat faster.There was undisguised emotion in Li Fengqi's eyes, and the agitated pride in his heart receded, Ye Yunting looked away uncomfortably, and withdrew his hand.

The warmth of being wrapped still remained in the palm of his hand, his eyes wandered, and he subconsciously began to search for topics: "If the Yin family wants to rebel, wouldn't Ye Fan..."

During the day, Ye Wangcai said that he was going to practice in the Yin family army.

Only then did Ye Yunting understand why Li Fengqi suddenly spoke out to dissuade him.

"Mrs. Yin is a married woman. If the Yin family is rebellious, it should not implicate the Duke of Qi. It's just that Ye Wangruo went to Yunrong at this time, so it's hard to say." Li Fengqi shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid you can tell , it doesn’t work.”

The Qi and Yin families are relatives by marriage, and they have been in close contact over the years.If Ye Wangruo wants to go to the army to practice, it is most suitable for him to go to the Yin family.

Ye Yunting pursed his lips, recalling Ye Ju's still childish face, sighed, and said, "I have to try."

It would be fine if the relationship between the two brothers was mediocre in the past, but now although it is not possible to make up for the shortcomings and friendship of more than ten years, he does regard Ye Wang as his younger brother.Since he is the younger brother, he will try his best to protect him.

……

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Li Fengqi, Ye Yunting has been thinking about finding an opportunity to remind Ye Wang, but before he could take action, he received a post from the Duke of Qi.

The post was still sent by the butler, but this time it was more respectful: "Master and Madam said that the Second Young Master is about to join the army, and the date of return has not yet been determined, so I was specially ordered to invite the Princess back to the house for a small gathering, and I have the right to see the Second Young Master off."

Ye Yunting took the post, and exchanged a glance with Li Fengqi: "When will Ye Wan leave Beijing?"

The butler said, "Five days later."

Five days later, it was 23.

Ye Yunting accepted the post and said, "I see, I will go back."
