Chapter 66: Preaching!

The first time he broke up with Tang Qi, after Li Yiqi returned to the East Palace, he tossed and turned on the bed, and only closed his eyes and squinted for a while when the sky was slightly bright.

However, before he could sleep for a few hours, there was another knock at the door outside the house.

"My lord, someone from the palace is here to pass on His Majesty's holy decree!"

Dong Xiong's low, deep voice came from outside, and his tone was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Li Yiqi sat up slowly, rubbed his somewhat drowsy head, his eyes were confused, and he shouted outside slowly, "Got it." ”

Dong Xiong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly added, "This ...... My lord, you better get up quickly, it's Gonggong Feng who is the secretary and supervisor who has come to deliver the decree!"

Father-in-law Feng...... Feng Yuanyi?!

Li Yiqi blinked, his heart suddenly shocked, in the dark eyes, the confused color when he just woke up disappeared without a trace in an instant, he suddenly lifted the cotton quilt, and jumped up from the bed with a 'rub'.

Dong Xiong, who was standing outside, only heard a sound of noise in the room, and was hesitating whether to push the door, but the door creaked open, and a long figure walked out, and a deep gaze crossed his dark eyes: "When did Gonggong Feng come?"

Dong Xiong bowed and saluted, and said, "I just arrived, I was waiting in the Martial Arts Palace, Han Li had already gone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I came to inform your lordship." ”

"Oh?" Li Yiqi frowned, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "When did the prince come back?"

Dong Xiong bowed slightly, thought for a while, and replied, "It's probably around the end of the day." ”

"Got it, let's go. When Li Yiqi heard this, he didn't say anything, nodded, and the two walked towards the Wude Palace.

When the two came to the outside of the magnificent hall, Li Yiqi raised his eyes and saw a long guard of honor composed of eunuchs and palace maids on both sides of the steps.

"It seems that the prince has not yet arrived. Li Yiqi thought in his heart.

"Gonggong Feng is on it. Dong Xiong followed behind Li Yi and said in a low voice, revealing a hint of awe in his voice.

"Hmm. Li Yiqi nodded indifferently, walked up the jade steps, swept his narrow eyes, and found the 'Feng Gonggong' in Dong Xiong's mouth.

It was a chubby old eunuch, standing outside the glorious gate of the Wude Palace, and behind him, there were other eunuchs, palace maids, and forbidden soldiers, all of whom lowered their heads and looked very respectful.

The old eunuch had slightly white temples, a tall figure, wearing a moire brocade robe with white edges on a black background, and a dark green token hanging from his waist, with a noble and majestic temperament. He seemed to be able to feel the slight footsteps coming from behind him, and at the moment when Li Yiqi stepped up the steps, he just turned around to look, and two sharp rays of essence burst out in his sharp eyes.

"Buzz!"

At the moment when the old eunuch's gaze swept over, Li Yiqi felt a sharp shock in his mind, and he only felt a tingling pain in his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be unable to open.

"Is this Feng Yuanyi?!Sure enough, it's the same as what grandpa said......

Li Yiqi was shocked in his heart, and at the moment when the other party's gaze swept over, he only felt his shoulders sinking, as if a mountain was pressing on him, and he couldn't even take a step.

He himself does not practice martial arts, he can only judge from the old eunuch's eyes that the other party's strength is extremely strong, as for how strong it is, he also said too clearly, only vaguely feeling that it is not much different from Li Jiu's killing.

"Great Xia established the country with martial arts, and the Xia Emperors of all dynasties were all monstrous figures in martial arts cultivation, and the people around them should not be underestimated, and they were all shocking. I remember that my grandfather once mentioned that there are masters in the summer palace, and the strongest guard by the Xia Emperor's side today is this person......" vaguely recalling Li Jiu's words, Li Yiqi's heart moved slightly, and his eyes instantly returned to his previous calmness.

"Huh?"

After the old eunuch glanced at Li Yiqi, his brows seemed to be slightly wrinkled, and a surprised light flashed in his eyes. However, he soon retracted his gaze and smiled at Li Yiqi: "Hehe, this son is the grandson of Li Houye, Feng Yuanyi, this is polite." ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, the lower official Li Yiqi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, is a waiter in the East Palace, and has seen Gonggong Feng. Li Yiqi said lightly and bowed.

While speaking, he also looked at the person in front of him without a trace - Feng Yuanyi, the secretary and the supervisor of the four products, the only legendary person who entered the court as a eunuch.

The identity of this Gonggong Feng is the head of the secretary and supervisor, and he is responsible for writing the holy decree for Emperor Xia.

Although the official position is not high, it is only a fourth grade, and he does not even have the qualifications to go to the court, however, this is just a nominal name, and Feng Yuanyi's other identity is the chief administrator of the inner house, that is, the chief butler of the summer palace, similar to Shui Bo's position in the Li Mansion.

However, the identities of these two people are not the same. The reason is very simple, this Gonggong Feng has served Emperor Xia for decades, and it is said that when Emperor Xia was still the prince, Feng Yuanyi followed Emperor Xia, and he can be called the first close minister by Emperor Xia's side, and a confidant among his henchmen.

Don't look at this Feng Gonggong's tall and round body like a Maitreya Buddha, he is kind and kind all day long, and everyone looks smiling and extremely close, but Li Yiqi knows how high the status of this Feng Gonggong is. Even some of the ministers of the Sixth Ministry, when they saw this Gonggong Feng, their demeanor was extremely restrained, and they didn't dare to have a trace of disrespect.

When not in the court, the Xia Emperor almost does not appear in front of people, if the ministers of the court have urgent excerpts or important matters to report, they must pass through the mouth of this Feng Gonggong before they can reach the ears of the Xia Emperor, and the high status can be seen.

In Shangjing, there are a lot of rumors about this Father-in-law Feng, and even Li Yiqi, who basically stayed at home in the previous life, is full of the name of this Father-in-law Feng.

"Haha, the miscellaneous family has long heard that Hou Ye Li has a grandson, who was born with a clear spirit and beautiful bones, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. Gonggong Feng stepped forward slowly, looked at Li Yiqi with a sharp eye, and said with a smile:

"Grandpa Feng has won the award. Li Yiqi bowed slightly, smiled politely, and replied.

"Childe's body seems to be the same as rumored. Gonggong Feng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Of course, Li Yiqi understood that Gonggong Feng was referring to the problem of his life palace, so he smiled calmly and replied lightly; was born with a stubborn disease, which made my father-in-law smile. ”

As he spoke, Li Yiqi looked as usual on the surface, but in fact, he was slightly taken aback, and he also had a trace of vigilance in his heart about the old eunuch in front of him, who was like Maitreya Buddha. The fact that there was a shortage in his life palace was not intended to make the attention of the chief of the inner house, presumably it should have been a month ago that Li Jiu killed the court and made a big fuss in the court, so that the chief administrator who was concentrating on the affairs of the inner hall also knew about it.

"Hehe, the son has a square and peaceful heart, and has the style of Confucianism, which is rare. ”

Gonggong Feng's face flashed with a hint of appreciation, then he shook his head slightly, changed his words, and sighed: "However, if the mentality is too peaceful, it may not be a good thing......

Hearing the look of Gonggong Feng's words, Li Yiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not interject.

His gaze swept over the chief eunuch closest to Gonggong Feng, and when he saw this person holding a holy decree in his hand, his heart shook slightly, and he secretly said, "That's true."

In the summer palace, the decrees issued by the hands of the Xia Emperor to the princes and ministers and harem concubines every day are not a hundred but dozens, but they are basically not worth letting Feng Yuanyi personally send them.

As the saying goes, 'if you don't make a hit, it's just a blockbuster'.

The civil and military officials in the court all knew that once Gonggong Feng left Emperor Xia's side, it meant that the content of this decree was extremely important, and something big had happened.

"My father-in-law came here this time, but it has something to do with the prince's bun ceremony?" Li Yiqi said suddenly.

"Hehe, Childe guessed right. Gonggong Feng's eyes stared at Li Yiqi with interesting eyes, not surprised at all.

"......" Li Yiqi's heart shook slightly, and he was silent. He guessed it when he knew that this Gonggong Feng was coming.

Emperor Xia had already made a decision and selected a certain capital as the place where the prince would join the army. Thinking of this, Li Yiqi couldn't help frowning, and asked Dong Xiong behind him in a low voice, "What about Your Highness? Why haven't you come yet?"

"This ......" Dong Xiong's eyes rolled, and a wry smile appeared on his rough face that was not angry but mighty, and he lowered his head and did not reply.

"It's okay, and the miscellaneous family is not in a hurry. Father-in-law Feng smiled, his face was still kind, and he said with a smile. There was not the slightest hint of joy and anger on his face, making it completely impossible to guess what he really thought.

'Whew-'

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the end of the corridor on the side of the main hall.

Prince Xia Qing was late, his eyes were deep, and there was still a hint of sleepiness on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

When Li Yiqi and the others saw the comer, they hurriedly greeted them and bowed.

“......”

Xia Qing covered his face with his hands and yawned again and again as he walked, and when he saw everyone saluting him, he waved his hands casually, and his steps were frivolous, looking like he hadn't woken up in a daze.

"Your Royal Highness......" Li Yiqi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he knew that the prince had the habit of lying in bed, so he didn't say anything, walked to Xia Qing's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. The latter just nodded his head 'uh-huh', and he didn't know if he listened or not.

Seeing this, Li Yiqi had the urge to hit his head to death.

Why did you get this product......

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, didn't you rest well last night?" A laughing voice came into Xia Qing's ears, she was slightly stunned, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed: "Uncle Feng, you are here?!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and even Li Yiqi's eyelids couldn't help jumping, looking at her dumbfounded, and three black lines stood up on his forehead.

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't torture the old slave. Gonggong Feng squinted his eyes, shook his head with a simple forehead, and looked at Xia Qing with a kind look, and a trace of doting light flowed from the depths of his eyes, as if from the heart.

"Ahem...... Li Yiqi coughed twice, stood up in time, looked at Gonggong Feng, and said, "Father-in-law, His Royal Highness has already come, it's better to ......"

"Okay, let's go in, Your Highness, please. Gonggong Feng nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing immediately understood, pouted, and led the way to the golden hall.

Li Yiqi and Gonggong Feng came in side by side, and there were already people ready in the Wude Palace, and the case of worshipping felt incense was readily available. Several people knelt on the ground in order, and Gonggong Feng received the holy decree from the leading eunuch behind him, unfolded the golden scroll, his expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he read loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, Prince Xia Qing, pure and benevolent, filial piety, and integrity...... He will soon be 16 years old, and according to the ancestral system of our dynasty, he needs to devote himself to the experience in the army. ”

"Now, the eight barbarians have all bowed down, but the Jianghu sect is disobedient to the heart of the court, and the prince is specially ordered to go to the Huangzhou capital to protect the army after the bun is tied, hoping to live up to the grace of the saint and admire it. ”
