Chapter 172: The Dust Has Settled
She once promised Tan Yunyan that she would not involve Li Zhouxu in the government and would protect him for a safe and smooth life, but she broke her promise to Zhou Yunyan and put him in such a dangerous situation.
Wang Rong has been by Feng Xiyan's side for so long, although he doesn't dare to say how well he knows Feng Xiyan, he can still detect her emotional changes, so Feng Xiyan just now joked with him with nothing to do, but her eyes still betrayed her nervous mood at the moment.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to be nervous, the master has always been not sure that he will not act easily, this time, it is the same, especially when it comes to the safety of Lord Li, the master will not let him have any accidents."
Wang Rong's words made Feng Xiyan feel a little more at ease, yes, although Shangguan Candle is cold and ruthless, and often has an unpredictable face, but when it comes to doing things, at least within the scope of her cognition, there is no record of misses.
Not long after Wang Rong's words fell, not far away, a group of guards wearing brocade guards in the palace came on horseback, and before anyone arrived, the sound of "coaxing" horse hooves had already come.
"Your Majesty, look! Look! Here they came, they came back. ”
Wang Rong excitedly pointed to the people who were slowly approaching in the distance and couldn't stop shouting happily.
Before Wang Rong spoke out outside Fengxi's words, he had already seen a figure coming from afar, and a hanging heart finally fell.
Everything has settled, and now, no matter how unwilling the Empress Dowager Li is, no matter how unwilling she is, no matter how she doesn't give up, there is no way.
Those figures quickly entered the city, turned over and dismounted and came to Feng Xiyan, led by the leading brocade guards, kneeling in front of Feng Xiyan in unison.
"The ministers saw Your Majesty, and escorted Lord Li out of the post station to Biansai, although they were intercepted and assassinated by unscrupulous people on the way, they were all resolved by the ministers one by one, so that Lord Li left in an instant without losing a single hair."
The voice of the leading brocade guard, coupled with the deliberate voice, made the onlookers turn their heads and ears to each other, and the guards guarding the city gate looked at me, I looked at you, with different faces.
Feng Xiyan took in their expressions without falling, and when he saw the guards whose faces had changed drastically, they leaned sideways and whispered in Wang Rong's ear, only to see Wang Rong nod his head a few times, and then retreated.
And Feng Xiyan said with a satisfied expression to the Jinyi Wei who was kneeling in front of him as usual.
"Well, yes, a few Aiqing have worked hard, and I am very relieved to have you to escort Master Li."
"Your Majesty has an overreputation, this is the duty of the ministers. For the sake of His Majesty, the ministers did not hesitate to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”
The phrase "go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire" is very popular with Feng Xiyan, because what she lacks most now is a loyal person like me who sheds blood for her.
However, after a while, her good mood instantly cooled down, because these people in front of her were all Shangguan Candle's people, and they had nothing to do with her, even if they went up the knife mountain and went down to the sea of fire, it was for Shangguan Candle, not for her.
For this reason, Feng Xiyan's heart, which was boiling just now, instantly cooled down, and his attitude also cooled down, although he still had a smile on his face, he no longer had the interest just now.
"Well, yes, I didn't live up to my hopes, a few Aiqing have worked hard all the way, go back and rest, and wait for tomorrow to go to court, I will be rewarded in the ranks!"
Several brocade guards looked happy and happily agreed: "Your Majesty, the ministers will retire!" ”
Feng Xiyan waved his hand at them, and after seeing the people leave, he turned to look at the onlookers.
Seeing that the people around him were talking about each other, but Long Wei, who was afraid of Feng Xiyan, didn't dare to ask, and talked in a low voice, his eyes peeking at Feng Xiyan's side from time to time.
"The people must be full of questions about the scene just now, and they don't understand that I just appointed Li Zhouxu as the minister stationed in Cyprus on the front foot, how can I arrange someone to escort me on the back foot?"
Although no one answered, the curious looks on everyone's faces couldn't wait to ask Feng Xiyan.
Feng Xiyan didn't sell it, but then said: "In order to help me govern the corrupt officials in the court, Li Zhouxu has hidden his identity for so many years, collected evidence of the crime of the Marquis of Changning, endured humiliation for so many years, and finally helped me win the Marquis of Changning. ”
"This is a great achievement, and I deserve to be rewarded, but he has a heart that is honest and honest for officials, and he treats what he is in as a thing of a block, and only asks me to let him return to Biansai to benefit the people there, such a good official, I am very pleased, so I agreed to his request, which is what the people just saw."
"It's just that because of his actions, the interests of some moths have been touched, so they arranged assassins on the way to escort Lord Li out of the capital today, and wanted to kill Lord Li halfway, I had the foresight, so I arranged for the palace guards to escort Lord Li all the way out of the customs on the way back to the border fortress."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people instantly erupted into fierce discussions, speculating who arranged the assassination of this person?
"It's so audacious, Lord Li is the minister of His Majesty's personal appointment in Cyprus, and he is going to help the people of Biansai, this person is so bold that he dares to kill people in front of His Majesty."
"Yes! Oh, yes! It's too much to put Your Majesty in your eyes. ”
"That's it, that's it, fortunately, our Majesty has been prepared, otherwise, Lord Li would really be poisoned by this."
"Our Majesty is really wise and powerful!"
“……”
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the crowd gathered together began to boil, and the onlookers knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Xiyan.
Seeing that she had achieved the effect she wanted, Feng Xiyan continued to sell miserably, she wanted to help Li Zhouxu clear all his worries, so that he would not be threatened and restrained by anyone, and would be used by her for life.
"With the support of the people, I will definitely live up to expectations and arrest the corrupt officials in the court, and I believe that with your support, I will definitely let the people of Daning live a life of abundant food and clothing."
"The grass people will support Your Majesty! Support Your Majesty! ”
"Support Your Majesty!"
“……”
Such a spectacular picture made Feng Xiyan very satisfied.
"Well, with your support, I will definitely be a good emperor, take everyone to have enough food and clothing, and make Daning better and better."
Seeing that the people were going to continue to cheer, Feng Xiyan hurriedly raised his hand to stop it.
"Although Lord Li is dedicated to the people, because of his background, those unscrupulous people have seized this point and constantly attacked him, so I will make this decision and let the people of Daning come together to protect him."
