Xin Yue carried her son into the palace. Without her son as a talisman, she would not be able to see Li Er and would be beaten. Her son has an official position and is a legitimate imperial guard. Although he is still nursing, he can meet with His Majesty despite his age.
Even though I am young, I am also qualified...////
Walking on the royal road with her child in her arms, she felt like she was floating. The helpless feeling she felt when she received Yun Ye's safety letter suddenly disappeared. Her back was very straight. A eunuch gave them
The mother-in-law held an umbrella. The sun in Chang'an in summer was very harsh. This was specially arranged by the mother-in-law. It attracted the attention of the officials who came in and out. They were all sweating, sticking out their tongues and suffering in the sun with their heads bare. Of course,
, this is Xin Yue’s feeling, standing under the umbrella is better than those people basking in the sun. You see, the fat man is no longer sweating, but oil. Poor, he still has to wait.
He squinted at the officials who were waiting to see him and were talking in low voices. He stretched out his ears, ready to listen so that his vanity could be further satisfied. Unfortunately, those people were very professional and couldn't hear clearly what was being said. They were talking like eunuchs.
With a loud voice, Yun Baobao, the captain of Xuan Yi's command, came to see him. Xin Yue saluted. Under the astonished eyes of the officials, he carried his son into the Tai Chi Palace. Even Du Ruhui, who was taking a nap under the sun, was a little surprised.
There was a gentle breeze in Tai Chi Palace, and the gauze curtains on the floor were fluttering constantly. There were many wooden trays filled with ice placed upwind. Li Er couldn't stand the heat the most. Li Tai made these ices with saltpeter and dedicated them to himself free of charge.
used by father and mother.
The eldest grandson came out and took Baobao Yun from Xin Yue's arms. He held it in his arms and teased it non-stop, but said nothing. Xin Yue was officially in audience today and there was no room for her to interrupt.
"Mr. Yun Xin, what do you want to see me for? Is there any news about your husband?" Li Er put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to ask Xin Yue.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am now in Lingnan. This is a memorial from Lingnan to Your Majesty. I need to present it in person." She kept holding a small cloth bag in her hand.
The eunuch took the bag with a wooden plate, opened it and looked at it. He was a little surprised and put the plate on the emperor's desk together.
Li Er picked up the bag and shook it, then rolled out a few lychees, a piece of paper, and a small sealed scroll. Li Er ignored the paper and the scroll, picked up the lychees, looked at them, and smelled them.
The peel was black, but there was no smell. He put down the lychee and said to Xin Yue: "If he has eyes, he will come and report safety as soon as possible." After saying that, he waved his hand, Xin Yue saluted, and entered the gauze curtain with his eldest grandson.
, go to the harem to talk.
Li Er picked up the note and his nose was crooked. He saw three words asking for leave written on the top of the note.
"Because I was kidnapped by Dou Yanshan, I had to leave my post without permission. Please forgive me. This is an irresistible reason and I cannot ask for leave in person. This is the fault of the Baiqi Division and the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. I have nothing to do with it. Dou
Yanshan and Jiaolong fought for 300 rounds and both died. I was able to escape, and now I am living alone and helpless in Lingnan. To repay your Majesty's mercy, I will give you another year's leave so that I can return to Chang'an on foot. I wish you a hundred thanks to Yun Ye."
"Fighting the dragon for three hundred rounds? Nonsense! Being alone and helpless? Nonsense! It takes one year to come back? Do you think I don't know what's going on? Boy, are you hiding in Wenrou Township and unwilling to come back? I guess you still have some conscience, An Lan
The fact that you have been unable to open up the situation in Lingnan alone is the reason why you stayed, right? Let me see what other evil intentions you have. If you make Feng An rebel, I will skin you!"
Li Er muttered, found a silver knife, opened the fire paint, unfolded the scroll, glanced at it, and shouted: "Xuan Du Ruhui is coming in!"
An old minister is an old minister. After standing under the sun for a long time, there was no sweat on his forehead and his demeanor remained the same.
"Bring Du Qing a bowl of hawthorn water. Didn't I build a shed for you? Why are you still standing under the sun?"
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. When delivering the report, the formation of troops must be strict and orderly. This is what the etiquette requires. How can it be enjoyed for a while? It has lost its duty as a minister. It is a small loss and a big loss, so the minister will not do it."
Du Ruhui pays great attention to court rules. Today he is at the head of the squad, so none of the officials dared to go under the pergola to enjoy the cool air. If it were Fang Xuanling, the officials would have crowded under the pergola.
"I wonder who the Yun Baobao your Majesty just summoned is? Why don't you know?" He is the second-ranked person among the ministers, and all the officials in the world have it in his mind that he is the Yun Baobao who was the captain of Xuan Yi just now.
This is unheard of, but he should know it from an official of the seventh rank.
"That's Yun Ye's son. He hasn't named him yet, so he can only call him Yun Baobao. That woman is Yun Ye's wife, Yun Xin. She's here to ask for leave for her husband. Take a look."
Du Ruhui read the note and immediately became extremely angry, "That's nonsense. It's true that he was kidnapped by Dou Yanshan. Later, he said that he fought with Jiaolong for 300 rounds and lived in Lingnan. Although it was far away, it wouldn't take more than a year.
In one year, it will be time to crawl back to Chang'an. Your Majesty, such a shameless person should be severely reprimanded and ordered to return to Chang'an without any mistakes."
"I thought so at first, but after reading this scroll, I changed my mind. My dear, don't be angry. Take a drink of water and read the scroll before making any judgment."
Du Ruhui sat down, took a few sips of hawthorn water from the desk, and calmed down his mind before he started to read Yun Ye's scroll. He always had to think over and over again what Yun Ye wrote, trying his best to plug all the loopholes.
This has formed a consensus among the courtiers. The painful lesson of the Ministry of Industry is really a lesson for the past. If you give him a little opening, he can tear a big hole for the carriage to run. In the end, his success can only reflect the incompetence of the officials.
, once or twice is enough, if it happens every time, it will make the officials feel that they are fools, which makes officials who think they are wise feel embarrassed.
Even after he stabilized his mind, Du Ruhui still opened his mouth wide and asked the emperor in disbelief: "Your Majesty, they have destroyed the country out of seventy-four?"
Li Er scratched his chin and said with a headache: "It should be true, Baiqisi also came to report, but there was no detail as Yun Ye said."
"Have accumulated countless treasures? Mountains of spices, and no less than five million dans of grain?" Du Ruhui breathed in cold air and continued reading this ridiculous scroll as if he had a toothache.
' "Three thousand people have actually expanded the land thousands of miles? I took a look and found that more than half of the country that will be worshiped by Your Majesty next year has disappeared. Chenla? What are they doing there? The Lion Country? Your Majesty, do you know this country? "
After reading the scroll, the monarch and his ministers were silent for a long time. Suddenly, they realized that they had racked their brains and racked their brains to prepare to attack Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and other countries, but the benefits they received could not keep up with the results of the three thousand mobs. How is this possible? Lingnan is remote.
Where could such treasures and food come from for them to rob?
"Nonsense!" Both the monarch and the minister unanimously gave the final word to Yun Ye's scroll.
"Your Majesty, how about the imperial court sending someone to take a look?" After a long time, Du Ruhui said to Li Er again in an uncertain tone. After all, Yun Ye had done things out of thin air more than once.
The eldest grandson came in from behind, put a fist-sized gem on Li Er's case, and said softly: "Yun Ye brought this from Lingnan. It's a birthday gift for my concubine. It's called the Sea of the Sea."
Heart." After saying that, he went back.
Li Er's eyes were a little red. He pulled the gem with his hand and found that it was blue and flawless. He picked it up and knocked it on the case. It was not glass. Li Er was sure.
The chamberlain presented the gem to Du Ruhui, and Lao Du was immediately fascinated by this gem. It was flawless. It was a peerless treasure, a unique thing, a treasure from heaven and earth.
"Du Qing, should we send a few more people to take a look? Should all these things be transported back? Expeditions to the west and east require money."
For the first time, Li Er's words were no longer sonorous. Although a large part of this wealth belongs to the nobles, but the country needs it, you have to contribute it, and the court does not want it all. Half of the tax still has to be paid.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Which of the princes is not serving the people and the country? Why don't you ask them at the court meeting tomorrow how much Lingnan's income they are willing to spend to replenish the national treasury. In this way, the veteran can calculate a
Data, let's see how much food we can get. I'm afraid you don't know that the wealth can be so amazing. There will definitely be a good answer tomorrow.
If Marquis Yun's memorial is true, he will definitely record a detailed data in Lingnan as a basis. I am afraid that the original intention of his memorial to Your Majesty is not to tell His Majesty how wealthy Lingnan is, but to defeat those old aristocratic families who have made him suffer and be deceived.
The idea of the family, he would rather lose his own money, but also want to bring in all the high-profile people who have made a fortune. It is purely harmful to others without benefiting oneself. His Majesty also has a bad reputation. He concluded that the court will not let go of this wealth. Come to think of it, this bastard
, I must have laughed so hard in Lingnan that I couldn’t stand upright."
The more Du Ruhui talked about it, the more he felt that his guess was not too far from the truth. He banged his hands on the table and was very angry. Some members of his family also went to Lingnan, and they would naturally gain a lot. Now that he knew the secret, he would be in court tomorrow.
Yun Ye set an example, but when he thought that so much money and food would flow into the national treasury, he felt sour and astringent. Yun Ye was doing an upright conspiracy, and he had to bite the bullet and fall into it, but he couldn't tell anyone yet.
Li Er showed him that it wasn't that he didn't believe what Yun Ye said, but that he didn't have any doubts. This was forcing him to express his position and jump out of the tank. The emperor was not willing to offend so many ministers at once. The best
The result was to find a scapegoat. When Du Ruhui thought of the generous donations from the princes in the court tomorrow, he complained about why his lung disease had to be cured by Sun Simiao. Yun Ye introduced himself to see a doctor. Could it be that he was ready to let himself go at that time?
Healthy as a scapegoat?
"Don't be upset, dear, that boy is indeed a bastard. If you look at the last sentence of the scroll, you will know that Feng An's good days in Lingnan are coming to an end." (To be continued.
