Chapter 41: Dealing with Kong Yi!

"I didn't drink Meng Po soup......"

Hearing the two mention this topic, Li Yiqi was shocked, but his face was impassive.

In his heart, the status of the two ladies in his heart is as important as his mother, but if they continue to talk like this, Li Yiqi has a strange feeling in his heart.

It's like a fool who has to pretend to be in front of others when his secret is discovered.

Li Yiqi's eyes flickered slightly, his eyes turned, and he suddenly asked: "Auntie, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of His Majesty Emperor Xia, I don't know what the birthday gift sent out by our Li family this year is?"

"Huh?"

Liu, who was talking to Wu, was slightly startled, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Emperor Xia has to celebrate his birthday every year, and it has been twenty-nine years since he ascended the throne, and the Li family has given gifts twenty-nine times, and the next dozen or so times are all handled by her own hands, and I don't see Li Yiqi caring so much about this issue, why did he suddenly ask now.

"Qi'er, paying tribute to the royal family, this is all something that your aunt is familiar with, why did you suddenly ask about this. Wu was also a little puzzled and asked.

"This ...... Isn't it that His Majesty the Xia Emperor's birthday is coming, just ask casually. Li Yiqi's eyes flashed, touched the tip of his nose, and smiled casually.

"Oh, that's right. Wu didn't do what he thought and nodded.

Sure enough, when it came to the serious topic of giving gifts to the royal family, the two ladies also changed their conversation and began to discuss the matter.

On the side, Li Yiqi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and smiled at the two ladies: "Auntie, aunt, it's not too early, I'll go back and rest for a while, and I'll come back to greet the two ladies after lunch." ”

"Go ahead. Liu and Wu waved their hands and said with a smile.

"Yes. Li Yiqi bowed respectfully.

Back in his study, Li Yiqi sat on the Taishi chair and let out a long breath in his heart.

In just half a day after returning to the Li Mansion from the East Palace last night, a lot of things seemed to have happened, and what surprised and puzzled him the most was Li Qian'er's arrival.

"Headache...... How could this happen, obviously in the last life, ......"

Thinking of Li Jiu's letter, Li Yiqi actually had a sense of absurdity.

Because, in the previous life, Li Qian'er had never been to the capital, and he didn't know anything about Li Qian'er, and even the marriage contract letter sent by Li Jiu killed was something that didn't exist at all in the previous life.

In Li Yiqi's memory, since he was plotted against in Wanxian Tower and recovered from his illness, he still honestly stayed in the Tianfu Academy to study, and then participated in the imperial examination.

And when he heard the news of Li Jiu's killing again, it was the defeat of the Annan Protectorate, and the Li family was raided.

And this time, the wheel of history seemed to be driving to a fork in the road, the axle turned, and he embarked on another road that was different from his previous life, and this fork in the road was the one where Tang Qi came to invite him to the Phantom Mansion to see which foreign princess.

Everything seemed to have changed in that moment, and since then, the events that have happened have never been predictable.

"Could it be that because I knew the bad news of the family in advance, and then tried to change the fate of the family, the fate of others also changed with me?"

"Now that some things have changed, will the case of the Li family's extermination in my memory still happen?"

Li Yiqi couldn't help but have this question in his heart.

Li Jiu was defeated in killing Annan, and the Nan'an Protectorate fell into the hands of the barbarians, which was a major event related to the fortunes of the country...... Can such a major event also change with a person's fate?

If it will change, then there is no need for him to work hard for the survival of the Li family at this moment, just live comfortably.

If it will not change, then it means that Li Jiu's army will be defeated in the hands of the barbarians, and the breach of the Annan Protectorate is already a sure thing in the future, so what is the use of his efforts now, in the end, it is not a bamboo basket to draw water.

Puzzled, confused, dazed...... All kinds of complicated emotions filled his heart.

Li Yiqi began to regret a little, regretting why he didn't delve into anything like 'quantum mechanics' when he lived in another world that traveled through time, and things related to time travel and parallel universes, so that until now, he doesn't understand what happened to him.

Traveled once, lived in another world for seventeen years, was killed, and then the time dimension of the entire world was turned back to a year and a half ago, and reborn again......

If this series of inexplicable things happened to some people with poor minds, I am afraid that that person would have already begun to wonder if he had a mental problem.

"Knock knock knock - less ...... Master. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and a soft voice came, which alarmed Li Yiqi, who was thinking, he looked up and said lightly: "Qi'er, come in." ”

Soon, Qi'er, who was dressed in a goose-yellow feather palace dress, walked over with small steps.

Bright and clear eyes, small and delicate lips, and a pretty and tender face that seemed to be coated with rouge, as soon as you entered the door, the room was suddenly fragrant. Qi'er herself is a beautiful embryo, and when she dresses up a little, she looks even more cute and moving.

"Qi'er, do you need to dress up so beautifully to pray for blessings?"

Li Yiqi showed a relaxed smile on his face, thinking about the problem is indeed too tired, it is better to stay with the people around him at ease and comfortable.

"That's natural, it's important today......" Qi'er looked at Li Yiqi's eyes a little shy, and asked after changing the topic: "Young Master, what are you doing in the morning?"

"Didn't you say it last night, I made an appointment this morning...... Although I was betrayed by the other party. Li Yiqi smiled helplessly, and suddenly his face changed slightly, as if he remembered something, he looked up at Qi'er, and said, "Qi'er, you wait, the young master still has an urgent matter to deal with first." ”

After that, a ray of essence flashed in Li Yiqi's deep eyes, took the ink strip on the table, and began to grind it finely.

"What is this going to do, young master?"

Qi'er approached with a curious face, and saw Li Yiqi lifting the green black wolf pen, dipping it in ink, and writing a line of words:

"Teacher Xuan is on top, and student Li Yiqi is on ......"

"Young Master, who is Teacher Xuan?"

Qi'er's eyes flashed with a strange light, she knew that her status was low, but she also very much wanted to be closer to Li Yiqi's inner thoughts.

Li Yiqi didn't understand the little girl's thoughts, so he responded casually and said with a smile: "One of the nine kings of the dynasty, Xuanye Nan of Dali Temple." ”

Hearing the words 'Jiuqing', Qi'er's face suddenly changed, knowing that her young master was doing business, she didn't ask any more, and obediently stood aside, Li Yiqi wrote, and she helped grind.

"Today, the students went to the street to meet their friends, and they happened to encounter the disciples of the first family bullying and oppressing the people, and the students were helpless, so they reported to Jingzhao Mansion for the record, but unexpectedly, Jingzhao Mansion allowed to sentence Master Kong Yi to ...... in person."

"Students believe that the way of a gentleman, for the country and the people, Mr. Xuan has been an official for decades, just and upright, is a model of my Daxia Wenchen, and his reputation should not be lost in the hands of villains. ”

Li Yiqi was eloquent, depicting in detail what he had seen and heard in 'Zilanxuan' today, and by the way, he wrote about the fact that Master Kong Yi personally went out and took away those disciples of the family.

He believed that with the wisdom of that Master Xuan, he would be able to find out the trick in it.

"There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and as for what kind of demon it is, I have to let that Lord Xuan find out by himself. Li Yiqi said secretly in his heart.

He wrote this letter with no other intention, but he was worried that if it was really as he guessed, that Kong Yi colluded with Haoqiang and secretly opened a protective umbrella for him to make profits, then the matter would be difficult to do.

Once this stain is exposed to the surface, it is the face of the entire Jingzhao Mansion, and the judgment is divided into two positions, the left and right, and the official rank is between the fifth grade and the fourth grade, and the grade is not low, and it is very likely that it will be further involved in the Dali Temple behind the Jingzhao Mansion.

In Li Yiqi's memory, Xuanyenan, one of the nine Qings, is upright, arrogant, and shows Confucian style, even if the object is a child of the royal family who violates the law, he still does not give face.

Such a good official, but in his previous life, he suddenly chose to resign and retire for unknown reasons, which also caused an uproar among many students in the Tianfu Academy and felt incredible.

Li Yiqi didn't know if there was any connection between these two things, but if Xuan Yenan's reputation was humiliated because of the corruption of his subordinates, then he felt that it was still necessary for him to stand up and say a word to Lord Xuan.

Of course, Li Yiqi also has a personal reason why he has to do this.

That Lord Xuan himself has never liked the Wang family......

The enemy of the enemy, even if he is not a true friend, should be helped.

Therefore, Li Yiqi felt that the trickiness in this case was better handled privately by the Xuan Daren in Dali Temple, and if he guessed wrong, it didn't matter. From beginning to end, he did not name the "villain" written in the letter, but just talked about the facts. Moreover, he wrote a letter to Xuan Yenan in the tone of a student, which would not involve too many entanglements of interests, which can be described as perfect.

"In any case, when this matter reaches Xuan Ye Nan, Mo Hong can't run away, and everyone in Zilanxuan should be able to sit back and relax. ”

Li Yiqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wrapped the letter, and wrote the words 'Li Yiqi worships Lord Xuanye Nan' outside, handed the letterhead to Qi'er, and said, "Qi'er, you go to find someone and send this letter to Xuanfu." ”

"Yes. Qi'er nodded obediently and ran out briskly with her little feet.

......

The mansion of the Xuan family is magnificent and majestic, and it is no worse than the Li Mansion.

Xuan's lineage was originally a family of imperial history, Xuan Yenan was the imperial historian of the Imperial Procuratorate before he became the secretary of Dali Temple, up to Emperor Xia himself and a group of princes, down to the bottom of the six secretaries and officials, almost all the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were impeached by him.

This kind of old minister who is not afraid of power and is upright should be extremely respected, but Xuanye Nanqi is too rigid, and his temper is eccentric, smelly and hard like a stone in a pit, and he often scares people out of power with a few words...... In this way, Xuanye Nan, one of the Jiuqing, became the only existence that even other Jiuqing colleagues took a detour when they met.

Therefore, there are almost no visitors to the huge Xuanfu, and even if it is located on an extremely prosperous main street, it looks extremely cold.

"Knock-knock-"

At this time, a bronze carriage with a signboard with the word 'Li' suddenly drove over from a distance and stopped at the side of the gate of Xuanfu.

Immediately afterwards, a servant dressed as a servant jumped out of the carriage, he ran to the gate of Xuanfu in small steps, stood at the gate of Xuanfu with his waist straight, and shouted to the guards guarding the door: "This eldest brother, my young master has a greeting post, can you help spread the word." ”

"Wait. The guard replied coldly, turned around and walked into the mansion.

Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a thin figure, a majestic bearing, and eyes like a sword walked out of the gate of the Xuanfu, he stared at the little guy, and said coldly: "Who is your master, who worships me in the Xuanfu?"

The little guy was startled by the middle-aged man's gaze, didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly bowed his head and raised the letterhead above his head with both hands.

Glancing at the little guy, the middle-aged man took the post, and when he saw the name of the person who worshipped the post, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but soon his face changed slightly, and he waved his hand at the little guy and said, "Go back." ”

After the little servant left, the middle-aged man tucked the prayer post into his sleeve and walked into the Xuanfu reflexively.

"Knock knock - father, I'm Xuan Song. ”

The middle-aged man walked all the way to the door of a study in the courtyard to the north, stood outside and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, Xuan Song heard a familiar but indifferent voice from the study: "Come in." ”

"Yes. ”

Xuan Song carefully adjusted his clothes, looked at it carefully, and found that there was no trace of inappropriateness on his body, so he pushed open the door with confidence and walked in.

In the room, an old man with white hair, an old-fashioned demeanor, and sharp eyes is sitting on a pear blossom nanmu Taishi chair next to the desk.

On the table beside the old man, there was a pile of official documents piled up like a hill, and under him, a pot of charcoal fire used for heating had been extinguished to ashes, and a blanket that was originally covered on his body was still lying on the ground.

In the winter, everything used to ward off the cold is gone, but the old man seems to have no idea what the 'cold' is, and his attention is focused on the official documents in his hand.

This old-fashioned old man is the head of the Xuan family, and now the Dali Temple is Xuan Yenan.

"Father. ”

Xuan Song shouted, and then walked over, trying to pick up the blanket that had fallen on the ground at Xuan Yenan's feet.

However, something unexpected happened, as soon as Xuan Song's hand was stretched out, Xuan Yenan slapped the back of Xuan Song's hand with a heavy slap and made a crisp sound of 'pop'.

"Don't move, is that what your hands are for?"

Xuan Yenan raised his head, his expression was old-fashioned, his eyes were sharp, and he scolded with a majestic face.

Hearing this, Xuan Song smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that his father's temper had always been like this, so he had to say, "I'll call someone." ”

"Stop, put things down. "The cold road that does not change color in the south of the night.

"Yes. ”

Xuan Song breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took out the prayer slip in his sleeve and put it in front of the old man, and then bowed respectfully before retreating silently.

After Xuan Song left, Xuan Yenan did not open the letter directly, but carefully processed the official letters in front of him.

Time passed slowly, Xuan Yenan finished handling everything in his hands, and finally picked up the prayer post that seemed to have been forgotten in the corner.
