Li Yi shook his head gloomily and said: "It's not that your subordinates have any enemies, but someone doesn't want to see me return to Beijing, so they try to kill me." However, since nothing happened, I don't want to pursue it any further. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Hmm! It's your business if you don't want to track it down, and I'll send someone to investigate this matter carefully. In any case, it is not a trivial matter for a court official to be murdered by someone. If you don't deal with it with thunder, I'm afraid that everyone will be in danger, and no one will be able to sleep peacefully. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you find the culprit, I will definitely get justice for you. However, you also have to be careful at all times and everywhere, so that no one else can take advantage of it. ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "Thank you to the emperor for upholding justice for his subordinates, but these people have not left a trace of clues, and there is no way to investigate the culprit." It's not so easy for them to harm me, and my subordinates still have a way to protect themselves. ”

Liu Yan smiled slightly and said, "I heard that you have countless capable people, and one Lian Jun alone is already unsurpassed. Hehe! You brought back nearly 100 personal soldiers this time, this pomp is not small! It's just that I'm afraid I won't need it in the future. ”

"It's not that I deliberately cut off your manpower, but that you will serve in the Hanlin Academy in the future, and if you have to bring a large number of followers in and out, I am afraid that the person who impeached you will be like a carp crossing the river."

"Don't worry, I have already arranged for you, in addition to that Lian Jun, you can also leave three or two people to serve as your subordinates, with the same rank and salary. It's just that the rest of the people have to be rearranged by the military department, and they are all scattered to the various military departments. I hope you can understand my intentions, and don't have any resentment! ”

Although Li Yi was full of reluctance, he also knew that this was Liu Yan's helpless move, even if he really wanted to cut off his wings, he had no way to avoid it, so he had to accept this arrangement against his will.

Liu Yan saw that although Li Yi reluctantly agreed, he obviously showed a depressed demeanor, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you are still not satisfied with my arrangement!" Well! So be it! These soldiers who are scattered to various military divisions are each promoted to one level and given a certain amount of settling-in expenses, this time you should be satisfied, right? ”

"Haha! Also, in addition to Lin Yi, didn't you bring back two cronies from Yunnan? I will also arrange a merit for these two people, and they will be able to take office after a year. How about it, do you have any other comments? ”

In the face of Liu Yan's generous arrangement, what else does Li Yi have to say? Therefore, he immediately made a gesture of gratitude and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the emperor.

At this time, after the two of them drank a few glasses of wine and chatted about the customs of Yunnan, as well as the military, political and economic affairs of the surrounding neighboring countries, Liu Yan, who was already slightly drunk, looked at Li Yi and smiled: "Li Yi! You're not too young, isn't this lady in the main room still missing? ”

"Haha! Do you want to marry a princess to you, hehe! I have twenty-four daughters, and six or seven of them are of marriageable age, and I will allow you to be as long as you like them. ”

Li Yi was shocked, Liu Yan actually mentioned marrying the princess, it seems that he has the intention to make himself this concubine! I don't know if it's related to that Qingyuan princess.

But Li Yi knows the situation of the horse, and there are few people in history who can live comfortably, not only in the face of the princess inferior, but also the size of the family has to say hello to the princess, which is really embarrassing.

Although Li Yi also knew that Princess Qingyuan was interested in her, she didn't know anything about her temperament and temperament, and if she married rashly, she didn't know what the result would be, so it was better not to promise easily.

Thinking of this, Li Yi said in embarrassment: "Back to the emperor, your subordinates... Your Majesty is really... It's really not suitable for marriage. This one... His Majesty now wants to study hard, strive for the opportunity to hone himself, make suggestions for the court, and make contributions to the country, so it is not appropriate to waste more time on the relationship between children and daughters. Let alone... What's more..., the princess is a nobleman, a golden branch and jade leaves, how dare Li Yi have such extravagant hopes? ”

After saying this, even Li Yi himself felt that this logic was extremely chaotic, and his face couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

Liu Yan's face flickered with gloom, but he didn't know what he thought. After a while, Liu Yan smiled slightly: "That's it!" You've just come back, time is there, and you're not in a hurry at this moment, just wait for the opportunity to talk about it! Well! It's not too early, you saddle horse tired, it's better to go back early and rest! ”

Li Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to leave the Qinzheng Hall in a huff.

After coming out, Li Pian was already waiting at the corner of the hall, seeing that Li Yi's demeanor was quite unnatural, he hurriedly asked how the situation was, Li Yi had no choice but to tell him that the emperor wanted to marry the princess to himself, but he was politely refused.

The matter has come to this point, Li Yi has nothing to say, Li Pian has no longer to deal with him, and sent someone to send him out of the palace, but he doesn't know where to go.

Back at the Shanxing Marquis' Mansion, Li Liang had been waiting in the gatehouse, and when he saw Li Yi coming, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Third master, I thought the emperor was better than you!" Hehe! ”

Li Yi hurriedly said solemnly: "It's so late, it's hard for you to wait here, have you rested?" ”

Li Liang said: "After the banquet, the old lady went back to the room. It's just that I'm afraid you won't find your way back to the house, so I'm waiting here. ”

Seeing Li Yi's questioning look on his face, Li Liang then smiled: "Oh! That's the case, last year, we expanded a few mansions in our house, and the lord specially instructed that a spacious courtyard was opened for each of the four masters, and your original house has been given to Han Ji, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to pass. ”

"However, all the items in your original house have been moved to the new house, and the two of you, Mrs. Ru and Miss Ning'er, have long since passed! It's just that I'm probably packing up my things now. ”

Li Yi nodded with relief and asked casually: "So that's the case, then in this way, won't the population of our house increase again, I don't know how many people there are now?" ”

Li Liangmo calculated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Counting the family brought back by the third master, there are nearly 200 people in a rough calculation!" If the fourth master marries again, our house will be lively. ”

Li Yi and Li Liang walked towards the mansion together, and as they walked, Li Yi asked, "How did Lian Jun and Lian Gongzi and his wife, as well as Le Meng, Huo Feng and others who came back with me, arrange?" ”(https:)
