Chapter 51: Temptation

Feng Yuhua listened to the meanness in Li Guanqi's words, and the coolness in his heart became heavier and heavier, his first reaction was that the performance of the Xuanwu Lake military camp last time was too popular, and Li Guanqi was a master with a small belly. Today is to settle accounts with himself after the autumn, because here and now, it can be said that it is the best time to kill him.

"The minister has lived in the army for a long time, and it is rare to see a driver, so he often ignores the etiquette before the king, but the minister's heart is really loyal to the emperor." Feng Yuhua immediately decided to change his strategy and softened first.

"General Feng's loyalty, of course I know." Li Guanqi said with a faint smile, "I really don't blame you for your failure to be a gentleman, what I like is the blood of a soldier like you." ”

Feng Yuhua saw that Li Guanqi's face didn't look like a fake, and said in a deep voice: "Then the emperor ...... today"

Li Guanqi deliberately smiled presumptuously and said, "I didn't come for you today, I came for the girl with smoke." Listening to Hanyan talk about Miss Yuxiang's frequent visitor, I guessed that nine was you, so I wanted to come over quietly to have a look. It's also strange that I didn't make it clear, so they understood that it made you quiet. ”

Feng Yuhua knew that Li Guanqi was deliberately talking nonsense, but listening to Li Guanqi's tone, he also knew that he was not worried about his life today, so his heart was a little wider, and he reluctantly smiled and said: "It's all because the minister is not good at learning, no wonder He is the guard, he is also responsible." ”

Li Guanqi glanced back at He Ziming and said, "Well, what you said is good, he knows his duties very well, and he also knows how to keep his duty." I came to this Meixianglou today, and he tried his best to dissuade it, saying that my Great Qianjun Dynasty forbade officials to prostitutes, and they were not allowed to stay in the Qinglou, and as the king of a country, I had to play an exemplary role. The laws of the Great Qian Dynasty are thick and thick, I can't remember so many articles, can General Feng remember this one? ”

Feng Yuhua's cold sweat immediately came down again, and the Great Qian Dynasty clearly stipulated that civil and military officials but those who were prostitutes and wanderers would be dismissed immediately once it was verified. Although since the promulgation of this law, no official has really been dismissed for prostitution, but after all, this law exists, and he was arrested by the emperor today, even if he is full of mouth, he can't tell clearly. However, the emperor couldn't help but reply, so he had to say worriedly: "Yes, there is this." ”

"Huh? Really?" Li Guanqi pretended to be surprised and said, "So, General Feng has violated the Great Cadre Law, what punishment should be given?" ”

"According to the law, according to the law, when dismissed."

"So serious?" Li Guanqi really didn't pretend to be surprised this time, he originally thought it was just a punishment.

"The minister also thinks it's too serious." Feng Yuhua hurriedly climbed up the pole.

"Well, it's too serious." Li Guanqi nodded and said, "As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing." This wildflower is always more exciting than a house flower. Moreover, it is better to block than to be sparse, since the imperial court allows the existence of brothels in Qinglou, but prohibits officials from prostitutes, it is a bit unreasonable to reason, and it is also unforgiving. ”

Feng Yuhua didn't expect Li Guanqi to suddenly say such deviant words, although he felt that it was a little unacceptable, but at least the matter of his prostitute seemed to be in the past. At the moment, he said happily: "The emperor is shengming, the emperor is shengming." ”

Li Guanqi was not interested in Feng Yuhua's eulogies, and said to himself: "I heard Hanyan say that Miss Yuxiang's night fee is one hundred taels of silver a night, I don't know how much General Feng can earn every month?" ”

Feng Yuhua only felt that he was like swinging tonight, his spirit had just relaxed, and he was frightened by Li Guanqi's words, because he knew what Li Guanqi's question represented. The emperor may be able to turn a blind eye to the private lives of his courtiers, but corruption is generally intolerant. I had no choice but to reply tremblingly: "The minister's monthly salary is thirty-six taels." ”

"Thirty-six taels." Li Guanqi patted his hands and said, "In this way, General Feng can only come to Miss Yuxiang once in three months, isn't that so?" ”

"yes, ah, no." Feng Yuhua was a little confused in the face of the pressure exerted by Li Guanqi.

"Yes or no." Li Guanqi struck while the iron was hot.

"The minister is guilty." Feng Yuhua's psychological defense line finally collapsed under Li Guanqi's tight and loose attacks.

"If you confess your guilt, there is something forgivable." Li Guanqi's tone softened slightly, and said, "I know that you have a deep affection for Miss Yuxiang, and you are not simply obsessed with Fengchen. What's more, when the love is strong, if you don't see each other for a day, you can only see Miss Yuxiang once a month, which is enough to prove that you are more concerned about military affairs. ”

"Your Majesty ......" Feng Yuhua didn't expect Li Guanqi to be able to put himself in his shoes like this, and he was already choked.

Li Guanqi continued: "Of course, since you have met Miss Yuxiang, then thirty-six taels of silver a month is definitely not enough. It just so happened that Shangshu Ding of the Criminal Department was worried about the vacancy, and Zu Dong had already recommended you to me before he came. Shangshu's monthly salary is eighty taels, although it is not enough, but it is about the same, what do you think? ”

Li Guanqi's seemingly casual question made the cold sweat on Feng Yuhua's forehead drip faster, because Li Guanqi's simple question contained three meanings. seems to be concerned about Feng Yuhua and wants to promote him to an official, but in fact, it is definitely not the case, because Li Guanqi said that this is Zu Donglai's suggestion.

Feng Yuhua turned his brain quickly, "If you readily agree, then the first consequence is that the emperor will inevitably suspect that he is Zu Donglai's person, and from what he knows, the emperor is full of suspicion of Zu Donglai, and it is definitely not a wise move to go to the opposite side of the emperor." ”

"Secondly, although the position of the commander of the cavalry guard does not have the prestige of the secretary of the criminal department, but he has real military power in his hands, if he agrees to be the secretary of the criminal department, then the military power will also be deprived, and without the military power, what is the value of being in the center of the whirlpool of the power struggle in Beijing?"

"Third, the emperor proposed to let himself be promoted to the secretary of the criminal department here and now, it is really a bit suspicious, no matter how you think about it, it is a little bit of a taste to test yourself, although I don't know what the emperor wants to test, but intuitively if you agree, you will just fall into the emperor's trap."

After thinking quickly, Feng Yuhua had already made up his mind, and said with a sneer: "The minister is a martial artist, and he is not worthy of the emperor's care." ”

Li Guanqi sneered and said: "This is not what I mean, I have not been on the throne for a long time, and I am not familiar with you, this is all Zu Donglai's discernment." ”
