Chapter 72: Court Politics

After sending Yuwen Mandarin Duck away, Xiao Yan immediately called Lin Ye, things suddenly changed, and he had to find out the matter as soon as possible.

"What's going on with Li Chengdong becoming a five-grade official?"

Lin Ye suddenly knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "General, it's the negligence of your subordinates." ”

"Get up and speak." Xiao Yan frowned.

"Yes."

Lin Ye stood up and said to Xiao Yan: "After the general left, his subordinates sent people to keep an eye on the palace, and Li Chengdong also sent people around him. ”

"Later, because of many matters, my subordinates were distracted, and I didn't notice what method Li Chengdong used, and he was promoted all the way to the fifth grade."

"It's the negligence of his subordinates, and he left it to the general."

"Give you a chance to make amends." Xiao Yan looked at him and said, "Li Chengdong can be promoted smoothly, there must be someone secretly supporting him, I want to know who is the force behind Li Chengdong?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

Since he learned about Feng Yu's previous life, Xiao Yan was always worried, he was afraid that things would develop like in his previous life, so as long as it was related to Feng Yu, he had to investigate it clearly.

Regarding Li Chengdong's promotion, Lin Ye quickly found out the clues, and Xiao Yan already had a rough idea in his heart after listening to his report.

Xiao Yan entered the palace to see Feng Yu, and when Feng Yu heard that he was coming, she knew that Li Chengdong must have made progress, and she was very happy.

"I have found out that Li Chengdong was able to be promoted all the way in a short period of time because officials in the DPRK and China were supporting him."

"As for the officials who supported him to ascend to the throne, they were all officials who had been supporting the vassal king."

Xiao Yan told Feng Yu the results of the investigation, and Feng Yu was silent for a moment after listening to it, and then said: "So the person behind Li Chengdong is really the vassal king, just like we thought before." ”

"Li Chengdong has the vassal king as his backer, and now he is a five-rank official, so it is a little difficult to deal with him on the bright side." Xiao Yan frowned, but he couldn't let Li Chengdong be so comfortable.

Originally, Xiao Yan hated Li Chengdong, and after learning that Feng Yu was killed by him in his previous life, he couldn't see him a little good.

"If it doesn't work on the surface, then we'll come from the secret." Feng Yu said with a smile, "Anyway, I can't let Li Chengdong be too comfortable." ”

Xiao Yan looked at the smiling Fengyu and nodded, "Okay, I will arrange this matter." ”

The next day, Xiao Yan saw Li Chengdong, and now his official position has been promoted, and the whole person looks radiant, and his every move is very noble.

Xiao Yan snorted coldly and stopped looking at him, the vassal king intended to confuse him, and he must need the people in the court to help him, so Li Chengdong had to be eradicated as soon as possible no matter what.

After the next dynasty, Li Chengdong and other officials, to put it bluntly, were the officials who helped him get promoted, and a group of people talked and laughed, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, which made Xiao Yan upset.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, Li Chengdong stopped him, Xiao Yan turned around and saw Li Chengdong walking towards him, his eyes changed slightly.

"General Xiao went south this time, but he really made a great contribution, and he eliminated two corrupt officials at once, which makes me admire it very much."

Li Chengdong looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he continued: "I have long heard that the general is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to be so heroic outside the battlefield. ”

"For the sake of fame, the general is really not idle for a moment, which makes us almost jealous when we see it."

Xiao Yan let out a chuckle, looked at Li Chengdong and said, "I'm nothing, I'm just arresting two dog officials." ”

"On the contrary, Lord Li, I heard that Lord Li has been promoted in just a few days, why don't you tell me what Lord Li has done to benefit the Northern Capital, so that he will become the Minister of the Five Grades in such a short period of time?"

The smile on Li Chengdong's face gradually froze, and he felt disdain in the eyes projected around him, and even Xiao Yan in front of him looked at him with a sneer.

"What I do is just some trivial things that are beneficial to the people, how can I compare to General Xiao, who can travel with the princess to pick up the prince and govern the dog."

Saying that, Li Chengdong looked at Xiao Yan with a smile and said in a low voice: "The emperor has been fond of the princess since he was a child, and getting close to the princess must be good for General Xiao." ”

The moment Li Chengdong mentioned Fengyu, the smile on Xiao Yan's face disappeared, in his opinion, Li Chengdong was not even qualified to mention Fengyu.

Seeing Xiao Yan's gloomy face and not speaking, Li Chengdong was very proud in his heart, thinking that he had hit him. Just as he was leaving, he suddenly felt a pain in his legs and knees, and then he fell to his knees.

"Master Li, even if you admire me, you don't have to be so polite to me."

Li Chengdong looked up, Xiao Yan was looking at himself and laughing, gritted his teeth, Li Chengdong said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yan, you ......"

"What Master Li just said is very reasonable." Xiao Yan interrupted him, looked at him with cold eyes and said, "I'm a person who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and goes down to the battlefield to control the dog officer, so Lord Li has to be careful when he does things, don't let me catch it, otherwise ......"

"You're going to be a lot worse off than everyone else."

Li Chengdong glared at Xiao Yan angrily, he wanted to stand up, but he didn't know why, his legs were so numb that he didn't have any strength at all.

Feng Yi next to him had been watching Xiao Yan and Li Chengdong's movements, and when he saw Li Chengdong kneeling in front of Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and then raised his legs and walked over to them.

"What is Master Li doing?"

Li Chengdong looked at him, Feng Yi was looking at him strangely, and just wanted to explain to him, Feng Yi suddenly realized with a face: "Oh, I understand, you are worshipping General Xiao." ”

"That's right, what General Xiao did during his trip to Jiangnan this time is indeed worthy of your worship."

As he spoke, Feng Yi suddenly said with a serious face: "Master Li has to learn more from General Xiao, otherwise he will only talk big words like nothing all day long, and he may fall from the five-rank official at some point." ”

When Feng Yi was talking, Xiao Yan stood next to him and laughed unscrupulously, and the mocking eyes of the surrounding ministers made Li Chengdong unable to raise his head.

"General Xiao, I still have something to discuss with you, come with me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Feng Yi and Xiao Yan turned around and left, not taking Li Chengdong in their eyes at all, Li Chengdong looked at the backs of the two and dared not speak angrily.

After leaving the main hall, Feng Yi and Xiao Yan found a place to discuss today's affairs in the court, and then Xiao Yan left the palace.

On the way back to the dormitory, Feng Yi met Feng Yu and Qin'er, and after inquiry, it turned out that Feng Yu was going to visit Concubine Qing.

Feng Yi looked at Feng Yu with some puzzlement, and said, "I heard that it was you who helped Concubine Qing out of the cold palace and reset her position, why did you suddenly remember to help her?" ”

Originally, Feng Yi didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, but a few days after he returned to the palace, he overheard some discussions among the palace maids and eunuchs, saying that Concubine Qing was bullied by Concubine Hui again.

Only then did he remember that Concubine Qing had been imprisoned in the cold palace many years ago, so he asked the eunuchs in the palace, and then learned that Concubine Qing's reinstatement was related to Fengyu.

"Concubine Hui has been favored for many years, and there are many cronies around her, and if you want to deal with her, I can't do it alone, so of course I have to find a helper."

Feng Yu said with a serious face: "The other ladies and nobles in the palace are all attached to Concubine Hui, and most of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, and people like this can't be used." ”

"So I have to find someone who is the opposite, and this person is Concubine Qing, I will help her out of the cold palace, let her restore her concubine position, and fight with Concubine Hui."

"And the result?" Feng Yi asked.

"It turns out that Qingfei is indeed a good partner." Feng Yu said with a smile, "Although she has no status compared to Concubine Hui, her means are not clever. ”

"But I'm sure she'll play a key role in the future."

Feng Yi shook his head with a smile after hearing this, looking at Feng Yu's eyes very doting, "I didn't expect that after I went to Jiangnan, you would have such a big change, you would be brave and decisive, not at all like before." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yu's eyes changed, and she remembered the scene in her previous life, when Feng Yi was killed by Li Chengdong.

At that moment, she really regretted that she had credulously believed Li Chengdong, if she hadn't been too stubborn, it wouldn't have led to the ruin of the country and the ruin.

"By the way, something interesting happened in the court today." Feng Yi said suddenly, the expression on his face looked very happy.

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yi told Feng Yu about Xiao Yan's rectification of Li Chengdong in the main hall, Feng Yu couldn't stop laughing after hearing it, she really wanted to see what the expression on Li Chengdong's face was at that time.

Seeing Feng Yu smiling happily, Feng Yi touched her head dotingly and said, "Okay, aren't you going to see Concubine Qingniang?" Go for it. I'll go back first. ”

"Brother Huang, go slowly."

After saying goodbye to Feng Yi, Feng Yu took Qin'er to Concubine Qing's bedroom, because when she heard about Xiao Yan's rectification of Li Chengdong, Feng Yu was in a good mood.

When she arrived at Concubine Qing's palace, Feng Yu heard the noise from a distance, and when she got closer, she found that Concubine Qing was kneeling on the ground, and there was a eunuch next to her who spoke sharply to her, and she didn't look like a subordinate at all.

"Who's that guy?"

Qin'er glanced at the eunuch and said to Fengyu: "Back to the princess, that is the eunuch in the palace of Concubine Hui, I heard that she is a celebrity around Concubine Hui, and she is arrogant on weekdays." ”

"A eunuch dares to be so arrogant, is he a place where he can build a palace?" Feng Yu narrowed her eyes and walked towards them quickly.

"See the princess."

Seeing Feng Yu appear, the onlookers immediately knelt down, but there was only the little eunuch beside Concubine Hui, he just looked at Feng Yu who walked in front of him and bent down slightly.

"The minion has seen the princess."

Fengyu glanced at him, then looked at Concubine Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Qin'er, help Concubine Qing up." ”

Who knew that the little eunuch stopped Qin'er, and then said to Fengyu: "Princess, it is the meaning of the noble concubine to kneel here." ”

Feng Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So what?" I'm going to get her up now. ”

As she spoke, Feng Yu gave Qin'er a look, and Qin'er bypassed the little eunuch and helped Concubine Qing up.
