Chongxi [rebirth]

Since the first snowfall, there have been more than ten days of snow in Shangjing.On the gray sky and the snow-white ground, occasionally birds fly across the sky, their wings stir up the snowflakes, and their chirping sounds can be heard far away.

The atmosphere in Shangjing City is just like this day, solemn, cold and quiet, with undercurrents surging.

After several games, the long-delayed Yin Chengru conspiracy finally came to a conclusion.

Yin Chengru, the governor of Jizhou, deployed troops privately and secretly colluded with Xihuang to conspire against the country and commit infidelity. After being interrogated by the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and Yushitai, he was sentenced to be executed as a warning to others.

Because the Yin family is full of loyalty and loyalty for the country and the people, the Holy Majesty can't bear the cold heart of loyalty, the case is not consecutive.

And Yin Chengru, the guilty minister, was scheduled to be executed at three o'clock on the fifth day of October.

On the day of the execution, many people went to watch the execution.

Some are friends with the Yin family and want to see Yin Chengru off for the last time;

No matter what kind of people they are, they all hide among the common people in a low-key manner, and do not appear on the execution ground——Yin Chengru colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and on the surface, no one wanted to have too much relationship with him.

The carriage of Yong'an Palace was also low-key hidden in the crowd. Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi were in it, observing the movement on the execution ground from a distance.

There was only half a quarter left before three quarters in the afternoon.Yin Chengru was unkempt and disheveled on the execution ground, with a tiger's head hanging high in front of him.

He knelt straight, and his unkempt face could not hide the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes.

Beside him, Yin Hongye held the last meal and fed it to his mouth with sobs.

—— On the day of execution, only one Yin Hongye came to the Yin family.

Because of Yin Chengru's crimes, he did not stay with the Yin family, and because Li Zong felt ashamed of the Yin family, he authorized his relatives to return to Beijing to see him off for the last time to make amends.

But not to mention Yin Xiaozhi, even Yin Chengru's wife and children have not yet arrived.

Ye Yunting put down the curtain, his expression became more and more worried: "The Yin family has already made a decision."

If he didn't go to Beijing at this time, he was probably afraid that Li Zong would take the opportunity to take him as a hostage in Shangjing.Simply not coming, completely cut off Li Zong's possible backhand.

Li Fengqi nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Within ten days, there will be news from Yunrong."

While talking, it was already [-]:[-] noon, Yin Hongye was helped down Xingtai by the maid, Yin Chengru was pressed by the executioner on the tiger's head guillotine, the guillotine above the head reflected the cold light of ice and snow.

He looked at the dark crowd below, and the unremarkable sedan chairs and carriages in the crowd, sneered, and said angrily: "You all look at it! This is the fate of a loyal emperor! I, Yin Chengru, am not Not because of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but paying for the emperor!"

Before the words fell, the guillotine had already been cut off.In the blood splattering, Yin Chengru's head Gululu rolled far away, his eyes wide open unwillingly.

Although a person died, his last words aroused discussion among the common people.They didn't understand the affairs of the court, and they only discussed enthusiastically whether there was any grievance behind Yin Chengru's case.

Only those officials who came to watch the execution were shocked and uneasy.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After Yin Chengru was convicted, rumors spread vaguely that it was false that he conspired against the country, and that it was true that he intercepted and killed the Xuanjia army for the emperor.It's just that the plot was exposed, not only failed to intercept and kill the Xuanjia Army, but was sent to the execution ground by King Yong'an's anti-general and in the name of treason.

This rumor appeared suddenly and had no basis, but Yin Chengru said today that he paid for his life for the emperor, which confirmed the rumor from the side.

Yin Chengru worked hard for the emperor, but in the end the emperor failed to save him.

In this game, King Yong'an was even better.The officials who put the treasure on the emperor were inevitably a little apprehensive, after all, no one wanted to be the next Yin Chengru.

There are also those who are more sensitive, and they are secretly shocked when they realize that the Yin family is not sending them off for the last time.

Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi returned the same way in a carriage.

After the execution was over, the people watching the execution dispersed, and the two sides of the long street became lively again.Looking at the bustling scene outside the window, Ye Yunting said, "I hope this peaceful scene can last longer."

The three prefectures of Gyeonggi defended Shangjing, if the Yin family really rebelled, Shangjing would be in danger, and I am afraid it would be a fierce battle.

"It's time to come, I can't hide." Li Fengqi is not as worried as he is, Beizhao's accumulated evils are already deep, even if it is not the Yin family, it will not be the Chen family or the Wang family.

The accumulated disadvantages will not disappear, and the hidden dangers will be difficult to eliminate.It's just a matter of time.

……

After this day, Li Fengqi began to go to the morning court every day, and after the court was over, officials often came to visit.Li Fengqi did not avoid Ye Yunting when discussing matters, and Ye Yunting followed suit, and had a deeper understanding of the situation in Beizhao than before.

At the seventh day of the lunar new year, Zhu Lie finally obtained military expenses from the Ministry of War.

10 taels of silver is not much for the army, but it is enough to prepare many useful things.

Ye Yunting assisted Zhu Lie in preparing food, grass and weapons, and ordered people to transport them to northern Xinjiang as quickly as possible by water.

Another seven days later, on the fourteenth day of the [-]th month, an urgent report came from Yunrong that the governor, Yin Xiaozhi, had beheaded several officials, gathered [-] soldiers, and was attacking Shangjing.

When the urgent report reached Yuqian, the rebels had already set off from Zhongzhou and rushed three hundred miles to cross the Zao River.

Since the founding of Beizhao, Shangjing has been protected by the troops of Luzhou, Zhongzhou, and Jizhou, and separated by two natural moats, Zaohe and Mangshan, which are as solid as gold and difficult to capture.

However, Zhongzhou and Jizhou reversed and fell from the inside, with almost no barriers.

As soon as the news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Li Zong was furious: "My heart spared the Yin family, but they are ungrateful. It really is the ambition of a wolf!"

"The most urgent task is to immediately dispatch troops to intercept them. If the rebels are allowed to cross the Zao River, it will be dangerous to go to Beijing." Minister of the Ministry of War said.

The rest of the courtiers also spoke in agreement.

Li Zong glanced at the officials with a dark look, and paused for a moment on the expressionless Li Fengqi: "My dear friends, who can go out to fight and defeat the enemy?"

All the courtiers subconsciously looked at King Yongan who was in the front row.

Li Fengqi was wearing a deep purple court dress with a calm posture.His expression was indifferent, as if the rebellion of the Yin family had no impact on him, or...he had already expected it.

Everyone had different thoughts, all looked at him earnestly, waiting for him to speak,

No one would question the strength of King Yong'an, even though his legs were not good enough to walk, but in marching and fighting, in addition to force, there is also strategy.

Li Zong's eyes also fell on him, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.If Li Fengqi can make a move at this time, the danger of Shangjing will be resolved.But he also knew that Li Fengqi at this time would never work for him again.

And Li Fengqi really did not say a word as he expected, turning a deaf ear to everyone's eager eyes.

"King Yong'an has a good strategy?"

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zong leaned forward, stared at him and asked.

Li Fengqi looked at him and smiled very lightly.He patted his leg, and said distressedly: "I have been suffering from residual poison these days, and my legs are always in unbearable pain. How can I have time to care about other things? I'm afraid I can't help your majesty. Please forgive me. "

The meaning of these refutations is that he doesn't even bother to hide them.

"...Then King Yong'an should take good care of his wounds." Li Zong gritted his teeth as he said this, and looked at a courtier with even more sinister eyes.

He glanced back and forth at the courtiers, and suddenly fixed his eyes on Ye Zhili who bowed his head and kept his eyes closed: "Why doesn't Zhongshuling speak? You and Yin Xiaozhi are Weng's son-in-law, have you heard any news?"

"Your Majesty's lesson!" Ye Zhili's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down resolutely, touching his forehead to the ground and shouting for grievances: "Although I have been in contact with the Yin family a lot these years, I really don't know about it." The second son was sent to Yunrong to join the army just last month, if I had known about this earlier, how, how could it be..."

He fell on the ground, his voice choked up, and it was almost impossible to speak.

Seeing his appearance like this, Li Zong snorted, but he didn't bother to argue with him, even if he killed Ye Zhili to vent his anger, the Yin family could not retreat.

He waved his hand: "get up, why should Zhongshu Ling be so panicked? I just asked casually. It's just that you and the Yin family are related by marriage, and you need to avoid suspicion about this matter. You don't have to go to court these days. Rest well at home."

Ye Zhili gritted his teeth secretly, but he could only accept the order to thank him.

Li Zong swept down the quail-like courtiers again, knocked on the dragon case, and said slowly: "Since there is no one to invite, then only I personally appoint."

"Chen Yun, the commander of Shence, took my tiger talisman, went outside the city to gather 15 Shence troops, and retreated to Zaohe. Zhang Yi and Zhao An led my hand and sent [-] troops to California, Luzhou, to quell the rebellion. "His eyes showed cruelty: "[-] soldiers and horses, flanking back and forth, be sure to kill all the rebels!"

The three stepped forward to accept the order, and the rest of the courtiers bowed down: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After the dynasty disbanded, Li Zong summoned important officials to discuss matters in the Political Affairs Hall.

Only Li Fengqi and Ye Zhili were excluded, and they walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a group of officials.

One is leisurely and leisurely; the other is full of worries and worries.

Many officials wanted to approach Li Fengqi for some information, but they were swept away by his indifferent eyes and stopped in fear.

Li Fengqi walked with Ye Zhili unhurriedly, the two parted in front of the palace gate, before getting into the carriage, Li Fengqi suddenly said: "Duke Qi is worried about the second son?"

Ye Zhili's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed worriedly: "Yes, if I had known the current situation, I shouldn't have agreed with him to join the army."

Li Fengqi glanced at him, and echoed: "Yes, if the Second Young Master had joined the Xuanjia Army back then, maybe there would not be the dilemma we have today."

Ye Zhili reluctantly nodded, wondering what he meant by his sudden words.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, could it be that King Yong'an saw something?

Then he shook his head in his heart again, denying this guess.He did it flawlessly, King Yong'an shouldn't be able to see it.

"It's too late to talk about this now." Ye Zhili showed helplessness, and sighed deeply: "I only hope that the Yin family can take care of their wife and let the child come back."

After finishing speaking, looking too sad to say anything, he cupped his hands at Li Fengqi, then turned and got into the carriage.

Li Fengqi looked at his back and snorted.

hypocrite.
