Chapter 445: Scheming
Wu Xiucai was also stunned, and replied: "That General Pan's name is Pan Jide, he is a three-grade general, it turned out to be the general of Li Hong, the Duke of Zhuguo of Jizhou, after Li Hong's death, he was appointed as the governor of the Jizhou Metropolitan Mansion where Chang'an City is located, and he was named General De, in charge of the military affairs of one city and eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and Chang'an, the capital of this country, is his jurisdiction, but why did he suddenly come here, I don't know." ”
Ye Feng finally had a bit of a spectrum in his heart, it turned out that although General Napan was at the same level as Fan Xiyuan, because he held military power, his status would naturally be higher than that of Fan Xiyuan.
This General Pan came suddenly, either for a surprise inspection, or to make money, as the commander of the large military region of the Zhengtang Kingdom, his real power is much greater than that of the city guard of Chang'an City.
At this time, there was already a lot of people outside the house, it seemed that General Pan had brought a lot of people over, and after a while, Fan Xiyuan led a black-faced man back in a hurry, nodding his head and waist, with a groveling attitude.
This big man should be that Pan Jide, I saw that he was wearing a strong scarlet robe, embroidered with a tiger and a leopard, with a thick waist and round arms, and at first glance he was a Kong Wu martial artist.
This General Pan was not small, and when he heard Fan Xiyuan say that there were guests in the main hall, he actually stood there, refused to go in, and shouted: "I am here today to spread the new decree of the court, and by the way, to inspect the Gongyu defense affairs on the periphery of Chang'an. ”
Ye Feng always felt that something was wrong in his heart, this Pan general officer to the third grade. Since we are going to inspect the work, how can we not report in advance and send official documents in advance, even if it is a surprise spot check, we will not be so rash, and the reason for this is by no means simple.
Mrs. Li and Miss Li had already heard the sound, and Mrs. Li saw General Pan, but she was not panicked, and Ying Ying stepped forward. A salute was given. smiled: "It turned out that General Pan was here." ”
This Mrs. Li actually knew this General Pan, Ye Feng was taken aback, and even Wu Xiucai next to him was also taken aback.
Pan Jide laughed. "Who should I be?" It turned out to be Mrs. Lian of the Li Mansion. I haven't seen her for many years, but my wife's look is still the same as yesterday. ”
"General Miao praised, I have been widowed for many years. It's already yesterday's yellow flower, where is there any brilliance, but you, General Pan, are still as powerful as eight years ago. ”
The two said good things to each other, which shows that both parties are afraid of each other's identities.
Pan Jide's face suddenly sank, and he said: "Recently, I heard that Madame is planning to move her family to Xiqiang Kingdom, but is there such a thing?" ”
Mrs. Li's face was calm, without any waves, and said with a smile: "This is true, just because the little girl has a marriage contract with the prince of Xiqiang Kingdom, I don't worry about letting her marry alone, I have no relatives here in Chang'an, so I plan to find a time to move over, and I will live for a long time and will not come back." ”
Pan Jide looked stunned, took out a yellow scroll from his arms, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that Madame, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this time, the saint has just issued an order, this year's time for the little prince to choose a concubine, to advance, I came to Fan City to guard here this time, just to spread the emperor's new decree, from today on, all the marriageable girls in Chang'an City, all who are unmarried, must be recorded and watched, and they are not allowed to go out of the country, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
Mrs. Li's face changed greatly, her body trembled twice, and Miss Li beside her also changed significantly, and her pretty face turned white.
"How can this be, doesn't it mean that the selection of concubines will not start until after the autumn, how can it be said that the change will change?" Mrs. Li asked, this news is obvious to her, the reason why the emperor of the Zhengtang Kingdom dared to give this order must have been instructed by Tianxuanzong, otherwise, he would not dare to give this kind of order at all, even Tianxuanzong did not dare to force their mother and daughter too quickly, let alone a puppet under him under Tianxuanzong.
Tianxuanzong Weishenme suddenly made this kind of decision, Mrs. Li couldn't guess its true meaning, but one thing is certain, maybe because she recruited the family to leave Chang'an, almost everyone in Chang'an City already knew about it, which annoyed the elders in Tianxuanzong, and they finally made a decision to prohibit them from leaving Chang'an.
Mrs. Li and Li Caixue's faces changed, and Ye Feng saw it clearly from the side.
If you are someone else, you naturally can't see anything, but in Ye Feng's eyes, there is a slight difference between the expressions of Li Caixue and Mrs. Li.
Li Caixue's expression was shocked, and it was true that her eyes were flustered, but Mrs. Li just looked shocked, and her eyes were not panicked in the slightest.
Obviously, deep down in Mrs. Li's heart, she should have been prepared for this news, and she must have already calculated it in her heart, otherwise, this order from the court would be equivalent to completely cutting off her way, in this case, it is impossible for her eyes to be so calm, but in fact, her eyes are very calm, and the so-called panic is all pretended.
Pan Jide sneered: "Mrs. Lian, this matter of choosing a concubine is not something I can control, the saint said that when you want to choose, you have to choose when you want, even the queen mother has approved this matter, can it be fake, if you don't believe it, I have the emperor's holy decree here, do you want to take a look at it yourself?" ”
Mrs. Li trembled and turned the holy decree, opened it and looked at it, her face turned white, she could no longer hold on, and her body fell to the side.
Miss Li hurriedly supported her body and exclaimed, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mrs. Li forcibly stabilized her body, looked at the holy decree again, and finally sighed and returned the holy decree to Pan Jide.
"Mrs. Lian, Miss Li's fame is all over the place, I have heard that this year for the little prince to choose a concubine, Miss Li will definitely take the Oiran, Mrs. may wish to go back and prepare well, unless Miss will marry a wife in these two days, otherwise after Qingming, I will send someone to the house to pick up people, if Miss Zuihou can be selected by the emperor, Mrs. can naturally enter the palace with it, and from then on soar Huang Tengda, blessing and shade are unparalleled, I, the governor of Jizhou, can also be regarded as a merit, and I will not forget the adult beauty of Mrs. and Miss in the future."
Mrs. Lian was still in the mood to listen to Pan Jide talking here, took Miss Li's hand, and said in a muffled voice: "Xue'er, let's go." ”
Ye Feng saw that Mrs. Li's acting skills were excellent, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, but he could only hold back on his face, Mrs. Li wanted to leave, and he had to follow Mrs. Lian and Miss Lian out with Wu Xiucai and them.
When she got into the car, Miss Li and Ye Feng took a look at each other, with tears in their eyes, that is, hatred and resentment.
Ye Feng turned his horse's head and said in his heart: "Mrs. Li has made a big deal from the beginning, as if she was trying to provoke that Xuanzong that day, what is the purpose of her doing this?" She also went around preaching that Li Caixue had a marriage contract with the son of the king of Xiqiang, and she was determined to marry the Xiqiang royal family, what was the purpose of this? Is it .......?"
Ye Feng thought of a possibility, if this could be true, then he had to admire this Mrs. Li's scheming.
However, no matter how complicated and conspiratorial this matter is, it has nothing to do with her, and his purpose in coming to the Li family is very simple, there is only one, that is, to pursue that Miss Li and win her heart. Thinking of this, Ye Feng turned his head at the moment, directly opened the curtain of the car, and said to Miss Li, who looked sad inside: "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm going to have a good talk with you about whatever I say." ”
Miss Li stretched out her hand to cover the car curtain, and said sullenly: "What do you want to say, just say it, what kind of system will it become when you open this car curtain?" ”
Ye Feng said: "Miss, I can't say this sentence or two, in short, I have a way to make you avoid this beauty pageant, do you believe it?" ”
"What, what can you do?" Miss Li's voice was a little excited, but it was quickly suppressed again, obviously she still couldn't believe the words of a little family member in her heart.
"Miss, I know you want to run away from home, although this is also a way, but it is really a strategy, if you leave, what will Mrs. do, if the time comes, if the court investigates it, you disappeared without marriage for no reason, and Mrs. is also difficult to distinguish, you, as a daughter, can bear to push your mother to the point where you can't go up or down, can't argue, and weigh down? So I want to talk to you, Miss, for the first purpose of dissuading you from running away from home. (To be continued......)
