Chapter 507: Guilty of Guilt

When Lan Ziyi heard that it was Gonggong Long, he asked:

"Didn't the Military Aircraft Department summon me? Why did Grandpa Long call me again? ”

The eunuch laughed and said:

"The military aircraft department summoned Wei Hou later, and it is still early, my father-in-law asked me to summon Wei Hou to have breakfast."

Lan Ziyi thought for a moment when he heard this, and said to the eunuch with a smile:

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

Saying that, Lan Ziyi stepped into the sedan chair, and the two of them got on the horse and followed.

The sedan chair carried Lan Ziyi along the street to the evil gate, before crossing the ditch, Lan Ziyi ordered the Tao brothers to wait outside the Zhaoxian Gate, because the military aircraft department is closer to the east, Lan Ziyi has to go to the military aircraft department today anyway, and Lan Ziyi will definitely go out of the Zhaoxian Gate after the incident.

The Tao brothers got Lan Ziyi's order, so they turned around outside the royal ditch and went to Zhaoxianmen, while Lan Ziyi was carried into the palace by a sedan chair. After wandering around for a while, he finally arrived at the place, and Lan Ziyi got off the sedan chair and saw that it was the master of ceremonies who had come yesterday.

Seeing Lan Ziyi get off the sedan chair, several eunuchs at the door hurriedly stepped forward to greet Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi naturally took out the silver taels prepared in his sleeves, and rewarded these fathers-in-law one by one, and the fathers-in-law who took the silver were naturally grateful to Dade, which is also Lan Ziyi's practice.

After entering the back hall, Lan Ziyi found that Father-in-law Long had prepared a table of assorted dishes to welcome Lan Ziyi, and Father-in-law Long, who saw Lan Ziyi, was also full of spring breeze, and there was no trace of yesterday's anger on his face.

When Gonggong Long saw Lan Ziyi enter the house, he raised his hand to greet Lan Ziyi and said:

"Wei Hou, please take a seat."

Lan Ziyi first bowed, and then sat down. After sitting down, Lan Ziyi looked at the table full of delicacies, and did not immediately move his chopsticks. Seeing this, Gonggong Long asked:

"What's wrong, Wei Hou? Something doesn't match your taste? ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, Ziyi has never seen such a sumptuous breakfast, and Ziyi can't even name these dishes."

Hearing this, Gonggong Long laughed and said:

"Wei Hou, Wei Hou, you are too good at crying poor, your father is the commander of Beizhen, not to mention the rich in the family, but also rich, why haven't you even seen it earlier, I'm afraid that Wei Hou doesn't like this southern dim sum, turn to the northern taste."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Father-in-law, you don't understand the situation. My father's life has always been frugal, and he only seeks to be full and full of food and clothing, and never asks for luxury and refinement. ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Long wiped his chin and brushed his beard, took it and found that he had no beard, so he turned to touch his chin in embarrassment. Gonggong Long thought for a moment, then nodded. Lan Qianzhen's life is indeed frugal, and everyone in Luoyan Pass knows it, and presumably the capital has also got a lot of news in this regard, so Gonggong Long did not doubt Lan Ziyi's words. However, Grandpa Long did not give up this opportunity to ridicule Lan Ziyi, he continued:

"Wei Hou, you are from an official eunuch, can you bear this crime?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

The father-in-law laughed. Although there are not many people in charge of me in the house, and there is not much resistance to what I want to do, before I entered Beijing, Ziyi only knew how to study, eat, drink and have fun, and I never cared about these things. After entering Beijing, I found that the beautiful delicacies and brocade clothes and embroidered robes are the essence of the smoke and clouds of Beijing and the onion shore. I used to read too much. ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Long waved his hand and said:

"Wei Hou don't follow the example of these idle losers in the capital, each of them can succeed. It's good for you to do that. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled noncommittally when he heard this, and nodded his head in thanks. Lan Ziyi observed the side of the house with the help of Grandpa Long's hand, the porcelain that was smashed into slag by Grandpa Long yesterday has all been replaced with new ones today, if you haven't seen the appearance of this house yesterday, you will definitely not believe what happened in this house yesterday today.

After looking at the vase, Lan Ziyi turned his face and saw Long Gonggong looking at him with a fair smile, strange, Lan Ziyi didn't have a headache today.

Gonggong Long looked at a vase that had just attracted Lan Ziyi's attention, and said:

"Wei Hou likes that device? I'll have someone bring it to you. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"The things in the palace are all royal private houses, and Ziyi doesn't dare to take them at will."

Long Gong Justice:

"Wei Hou works too much for the country and the people. What is it to send a vase? I don't know how many vases Wei Hou can buy with the silver taels he lost. ”

Lan Ziyi raised his eyebrows and cast a gaze when he heard this, but Gonggong Long had already prepared, he immediately met Lan Ziyi's gaze with a smile, pointed to the table full of assorted and said:

"Wei Hou, please, if you sit down again, it will be cold."

Lan Ziyi hurriedly gave Grandpa Long a bright smile at the moment, and then raised a meal with Grandpa Long. However, Lan Ziyi already knew the purpose of Gonggong Long's invitation to him today, and Gonggong Long said it so obviously, Lan Ziyi didn't have to guess anymore.

After Gonggong Long finished speaking, the two dined silently for a long time, Lan Ziyi was not willing to take the initiative to discuss the topic raised by Gonggong Long, he was waiting for Gonggong Long to speak publicly.

However, Grandpa Long was not in a hurry, and he didn't see any movement from Grandpa Long after eating half of the food on the table.

At this time, Lan Ziyi was a little breathless, he looked up and wanted to observe Grandpa Long's expression, but he didn't expect to collide with Grandpa Long's smiling gaze again.

Seeing Lan Ziyi raise his head, Gonggong Long finally asked:

"I heard that a few days ago, a military household went to the palace to block the door and asked to see the Marquis of Wei."

Lan Ziyi smiled and nodded:

"Exactly, Ding Zhuang died in battle but couldn't get the silver for the bereavement, and recently he was squeezed out of the barracks by the newly entered Eastern Army, and his life was lost, so he came to me to ask for silver."

Hearing this, Gonggong Long nodded and said:

"Wei Hou is benevolent! The mess left by the improper disposal of the imperial court, Wei Hou took it alone, not only took it but also took his own private money out to reward the people, which is really benevolent and righteous! If Dazheng is all a pillar of talent like Wei Hou, why can't he worry about it for thousands of generations? ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he just smiled and gave in, and didn't answer half a sentence.

After a sigh of emotion, Father-in-law Long said:

"A few days ago, before Wei Hou came to the cabinet to observe, I discussed this matter with several Zhongtang according to the emperor's wishes, and the barracks are no longer rushing people, they are all loyal martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, how can they let their families have no tiles to keep out the cold?"

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly got up and knelt down and kowtowed:

"Chen Lan Ziyi, on behalf of many military households, thank Lord Longen! Long live our emperor! ”

Seeing this, Gonggong Long hurriedly got up and helped Lan Ziyi to re-seat, and then Gonggong Long said fairly:

"Ziyi, what are you doing, you have done so much for the court, the emperor still wants to thank you, why did you kneel down first."

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's all within the responsibility of Ziyi, how dare you thank the emperor? Many of these military families lost their lives because of my orders. They lost a life in their family, and I just lost some money, and I felt very guilty! ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Long nodded again, but this time he didn't just nod, there was a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes. Then Gonggong Long changed his words and said:

"Marquis Wei, when it comes to the matter of your reward to the military households, the ministers of the DPRK and China are very dissatisfied."

Lan Ziyi pretended to be confused when he heard this:

"I also heard about this, and it is said that Lord Shen of the Ministry of Industry insisted that I was trying to rebel by giving out my private wealth to reward the people, and this crime is unwarranted. It has been used for personal wealth to reward the army in ancient times, so what's wrong with me taking the silver out to give out pensions to the military households? Besides, I, Lan Ziyi, am alone in the capital, what do I do to rebel? ”

When Gonggong Long heard this, he hurriedly comforted Lan Ziyi and said:

"Ziyi, don't be angry, what you say is reasonable, and I feel the same way. It's just those who read books in the court, you also know that listening to the wind is rain, and it's easy to make a big fuss. ”

Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this:

"Alas, I'm also used to it, did I get out of something when I first entered Beijing? I didn't take it hard. ”

Long Gong Justice:

"Not bad. Ziyi, I know that you are suffering, I know that you have been ostracized in the capital, and King De is also very rude to you. But Ziyi, you are acting in the right way, the emperor sees it in his heart, don't worry, as long as you can assist King De with peace of mind, your future will be indispensable. “

Lan Ziyi didn't answer when he heard this.

Seeing that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, Gonggong Long asked:

"It's just that Wei Hou, such a big thing, so many silver taels, happened in the palace again, and King De didn't dispatch this matter?"
