Chapter 307: Temporary Politics (3)

Nekusi, Kosen didn't dare to hand over the key to the treasury, moved out of Baiqi, passed the word and was taken to Qianlong Zhai, fortunately he arrived at it, otherwise it would not be just a beating, but two legs would be wasted. For this reason, Yan Li and Bai Qi went toe-for-tat, almost moved, forcing Kou Sen to hand over the key, Yan Ziyue heard this, and quietly set up a trap for Kou Son, to take it down for the crime of great disrespect, Kou Sen was in a hurry, lost his sense of proportion and actually scratched the back of Yan Ziyue's hand, only to realize that he had made a big mistake, but it was too late, and he was sent to the inner division supervisor and handed over to Tie Lang, the commander of the guards.

Overnight, the palace attendants and palace maids began to spread the word that Kosen was Bai Qi's secret to assassinate the princess, and he was captured.

Qianlong Zhai, Bai Qi lost the helper of Kou Sen, he was already on fire, and he couldn't vent it, and the rumors spread everywhere, and everyone was so angry that there was no way to refute it, and more importantly, even the courtiers believed it, thinking that he had done too much, he was out of proportion, he fainted, and he was sick.

Yan Ziyue got it, went to visit in person, inquired about his condition, and ordered the medical department to make every effort to treat him.

"You all go down, I want to have a few words with King Qi's father alone", Yan Ziyue retreated.

"What do you have to say, hurry up and leave after speaking", Bai Qi was indignant.

"It's nothing, I just want to persuade Father Qi to worry less about snacks and don't get tired."

"You want to take power so easily, don't think about it."

"Really? Could it be that Father Qi is still counting on anyone? Could it be Prime Minister Bai, I don't think you should count on her, she can't protect herself now, I'm afraid I can't take care of you."

"What did you do again"?

"How can I do anything, it's just her own sin, I'm just announcing her disgraceful affair to the world."

"You... I can't imagine that you are so young that you have such a method, and you are even more ruthless than you are leaving."

"Father Qi has won the award."

"Don't you think you'll win when you're in power? Tell you, the fire phoenix has long been empty, and all you get is a mess."

"I know... Don't use your ignorance to speculate on others, you're just making excuses for your incompetence."

"You....".

"What am I, Father Qi, you can recuperate in peace, I will give orders, and no one will come to disturb you."

"You....", Bai Qi was so angry that he couldn't take a breath, vomited blood, and coughed.

At this time, Yan Fengyi broke in, looked at Yan Ziyue and said, "What did you do to your father?"

"I didn't do anything, I just said a few words, you take good care of him!" After speaking, Yan Ziyue walked out the door.

Yan Fengyi came to the bed in a few steps, looked at Bai Qi, helped him lie down, and shouted: "Slow",

Yan Ziyue heard this, turned to look at Yan Fengyi, and smiled indifferently: "Do you have anything else?"

"I... I know I shouldn't, but I still have to say, please be kind to Nangong."

"Oh...", Yan Ziyue stared at Yan Fengyi, as if she wanted to see through people, which made Yan Fengyi feel very uncomfortable, a little weak and a little stubborn, and finally had no choice but to turn around and go back to take care of Bai Qi.

On the hazy platform, Yan Ziyue came back with a heavy heart, and saw Lei Yunting standing under the banyan tree, looking up and up, and walked over.

"Princess, you're back".

"Yunting, what do you see"?

Lei Yunting gave Yan Ziyue a look and motioned for Yan Ziyue to look up.

Yan Ziyue looked up and could faintly see the cracked sky sleeping on the banyan tree pole.

"How is he on it"? Yan Ziyue asked Lei Yunting.

"He's been up there for days, and he won't come down even if he is called."

"For a few days"? Yan Ziyue couldn't believe it, and shouted upwards: "Split the sky, split the sky...".

Splitting Heaven woke up when he heard Yan Ziyue's shout, turned over and walked through the branches, and jumped down.

"Split Sky, what are you doing up there"?

"I... Nothing".

"Huh..."? Yan Ziyue had some questions.

"Ziyue, the view from above is good, you can see the entire palace, and it's pretty cool at night", Split Sky grinned after speaking, and his face was very stiff.

"Split the sky, is the life of the palace too restrictive, you don't like it"?

"Sort of".

"Princess, I also think that the palace is not as comfortable as in King Kang's Mansion, firstly, there are too many rules, and many places cannot be visited, and secondly, there is nothing to do, it is too boring", Lei Yunting hurriedly added.

"Yun Ting, I also miss Manager Luo a little, you can go back to King Kang's Mansion for me and see his old man."

"Princess, aren't you going along"?

"I still have important things to do, and I can't go."

"That's... Let the Ripper come with me".

"No, I'd rather stay on it and sleep."

"No, forget it, then I'll go," Lei Yunting said and flew down the stairs.

"Ziyue...", after Lei Yunting left, Split Sky suddenly spoke.

"Split the sky, you help me find Nangong pardon, I want to see him."

"Good...".

Yan Ziyue watched the figure of the split sky jumping on the eaves of the palace roof, smiled lightly, turned around and entered the building, just sat down, and let Hongsu make a cup of flower tea, before he could drink it, Chi Yan came.

"Your Royal Highness, the High Priest and General Nangong have something important to ask to see, and they are waiting in the Imperial Palace", Chi Yan said.

"Got it", Yan Ziyue took a sip of tea, got up and said, "Let's go."

"Yes...".

In the Imperial Palace, Yan Li saw Yan Ziyue coming over outside the palace gate and hurriedly greeted him.

"Yue'er...".

"Isn't there something important?"

"Well, let's go in and talk."

Nangong Yuanyuan saw Yan Ziyue and Yan Li coming in, and stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by Yan Ziyue.

"General Nangong, so that you don't have to be polite when you meet your own people."

"This..."Nangong Yuan hesitated, after all, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister could not be surpassed.

"What's the matter, General Nangong is the one who leads the troops, and these red tapes are redundant to you, not to mention, I believe that respect comes from the heart, and it doesn't matter if you don't salute, if you have to salute, I prefer military salutes, which are neat."

Nangong Yuan heard Yan Ziyue say this, so he didn't postpone it, and clenched his fists and arched his hands: "The minister obeys the order."

"Well, okay, General Nangong sees that I have something important, so I might as well say it directly."

"This...", Nangong looked at Yan Li from afar, of course he knew the current situation of Huofeng, not to mention that Yan Ziyue's worries had not been eliminated, and now the border has fluctuated, which can be described as a difficult situation, and more importantly, military spending has been in arrears in recent years, and it is precisely because of the lack of treasury that it is even worse now.

"General Nangong, you can't hide this matter, just say it", Zhan Li looked at Nangong from afar.

"Well... Then I'll say it", Nangong Yu sighed deeply, and continued: "Your Highness, there is news from both the East and West camps, there are spies who have infiltrated the truth many times, with bad intentions, and they need to be prevented as soon as possible, but the hardships of the border soldiers, you know, now, morale is low, and defending the land is worrying"!

Yan Ziyue listened, was silent for a while, and then looked at Nangong Yuanyuan and said, "General Nangong, what do you think?"

Nangong Yuan glanced at Yu Li again, and only when he saw that Yu Li nodded did he say with confidence: "Your Highness, the minister does have an idea, and the minister is willing to go to the border to guard in person, but....just lack of food and grass, and the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient...".

"Grain and grass...", Yan Ziyue thought for a while and asked: "General Nangong, if you prepare enough grain and grass and pay the salaries that have been owed to the soldiers, how much silver do you expect to need?"

"This...", Nangong Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his eyes and said firmly: "Regardless of previous years, this year's at least five million taels of silver is enough for the grain and grass and expenses of the four major military camps."

After Nangong Yuan finished speaking, he deliberately looked at the expression on Yan Ziyue's face, and changed it to Bai Qi, as long as he mentioned military resources, his face must be gloomy, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't wait to be if he hadn't heard of it, but now he saw that Yan Ziyue's face did not change, and his face was calm and indifferent, but on the contrary, Yan Li's face was a little embarrassed.

Yan Ziyue walked to the bookcase and sat down, holding her cheeks with her hands, and pondered for a while before she looked at Nangong Yuan and said, "General Nangong, do you know the current situation of Huofeng"?

"Minister, know a little bit about it."

"Hmm... I will make the internal governance of the imperial court look new as soon as possible, as for the military affairs of the frontier, I can only rely on General Nangong, I thank you for the millions of Li people of Huofeng", Yan Ziyue got up, looked at Nangong Yuan, and said sincerely.

When Nangong Yuan heard this, his face was surprised, he looked at Yan Ziyue, and was speechless for a while, and only responded after a while: "Your Highness doesn't need to thank you for the affairs of the ministers."

"That's good... General Nangong, go back and prepare, I will prepare 10 million taels of silver for you, in three installments, and cash it all out before the end of the year. As for this first time, three days later, five million silver, although you come to get it, you just have to bother General Nangong to purchase grain and grass by himself, but you just have to pick and choose the procurement and employment personnel."

Nangong Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, looked at Zhan Li, and saw that he was also stunned, and couldn't help blurting out: "Your Highness, but seriously"?

"What? General Nangong, do you think I look like a joke"?

"No... It's just...".

Yan Ziyue knew what Nangong Yuan wanted to ask, so she replied first: "General Nangong, don't you know that I am also the master of Wuji Gate?"

When Nangong Yuan heard it, he suddenly remembered that Nangong Yu had inadvertently mentioned that Yan Ziyue was the master of Wuji Gate, and after thinking about it, he understood.

"General Nangong, if there is anything difficult, just ask", Yan Ziyue saw that Nangong Yu didn't speak for a long time, so she asked.

"No... No, Your Highness."

"Hmm... Then it's all up to General Lao Nangong."

"The minister obeys the order, the minister will retire first", Nangong Yuan bowed his hand, this time with a little more respect, turned to leave, and glanced at Zhan Li again before leaving.

"Yue'er... Can you really get that many taels of silver?"

"It's no problem this year, but I don't know about it in the future, so we should rectify the rule of officials as soon as possible, reform the people's livelihood, and make the people of Huofeng rich, so that the treasury can be filled and the country can be stabilized."

"Hmm... Yue'er, you're right, there's a lot more we have to do...".

"yes... It's just that... I don't know if it's enough time for me", Yan Ziyue's voice behind him was so small that only he could hear it, because since he stayed on the platform, every time he touched the Fire Phoenix Scepter, only the image of red fire and magma rolling in his mind would appear.
