Chapter 59: King Jin is beaten

"Heavy money? How much? ”

Ye Li compared a "two".

"Two taels of silver a month?"

Ye Li shook his head.

"Twenty taels of silver!?" Seeing Ye Li nodded, Chi Xu's jaw was about to fall in shock, "I'm afraid you didn't invite a famous painter, right?" ”

What is the concept of twenty taels, Qi Jun Mo's monthly silver is only more than three taels of silver. A well-known painter is not enough, just an old scholar who sells calligraphy and paintings for a living.

Ye Li was planning to go to the West Market after lunch, but she heard some people talking in the lobby downstairs, and the word "King Jin" caught her attention.

"Is that still fake? My cousin's brother-in-law's third uncle is a minister of the court, and I heard him say with my own ears that today in the court, the emperor is so angry with the king of Jin! It is said that the Son of Heaven is angry, and the corpse is thousands of miles, you don't know, that scene is simply the palace of the king of Hades, and the living people dare not make a sound. A man in his twenties and thirties told his friend, "But this King of Jin is not an ordinary person, he dares to disagree with the emperor in the main hall, and the emperor almost didn't beat anyone to death!" I was beaten with a hundred lashes, and I heard that when I was dragged out of the palace, I was covered in blood, and if I didn't die, I would be wasted! ”

Ye Li was sure that he had heard correctly, so he picked up the speaker with an unkind expression, and asked fiercely, "What did you just say?" ”

The man struggled, and just wanted to scold, but when he saw Chi Xu next to him, he was scared like a hairless rooster: "Hehe, Chi ...... Uncle Chi, why are you? This, such a coincidence, are you also there? ”

"You recognize?" Ye Li asked Ji Xu.

Chi Xu nodded: "This guy still owes me hundreds of taels of silver, if I didn't happen to meet it today, I would have almost forgotten it." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Chi will give a few more days, and in a few days, the small one will personally deliver the money to your house!"

"I didn't mention this beforehand, what did you just say?" Ji Xu asked.

"Oh, even if King Jin provoked the emperor today, I also listened to my cousin's brother-in-law's third aunt, hehe......"

"Angered the emperor?" Ye Li frowned and asked, although Qi Junmo is now a five-rank official, it stands to reason that he has to go to the early court every day, but maybe he is not treated by the emperor, and he usually doesn't need to enter the palace to go to the court.

"yes!" The man continued, "It seems that the emperor was so angry that he smashed the cup and the book, so he almost dragged people out and cut it down, and finally received a hundred whips, and they all went to half a life. ”

Ye Li's heart sank suddenly: "You mean it really? ”

"Of course!" The man said conclusively, "My cousin's brother-in-law's third aunt is an important minister of the court, what he said in person is still false?" ”

Ye Li pursed his lips and didn't say a word, even the breath he exhaled was calm, his face was ugly, "Miss Feng, I ......"

Feng Lan knew what she wanted to say, and said in advance: "If Princess Jin has something, she can go and get busy, and it doesn't hurt for me to go to the West Market to take a look." ”

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so I'll take Xiaofeng to West Market to have a look." Chi Xu said.

Ye Li nodded, turned around and left, his steps getting faster and faster, and he simply ran.

"That'...... Is that the princess of Jin? The man's face was stunned, and he said, "She shouldn't be going to trouble General Ye, right?" ”

Ji Xu frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The man said: "King Jin was beaten, General Ye made a lot of effort!" ”

Ji Xu: "......"

When Ye Li returned to the palace, the people in the palace were all guarding outside Qi Junmo's door like a great enemy, and when Qi Tian saw Ye Li, he cried out: "Mother...... Whining...... Mother, daddy is dying......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Feng Xuan scolded, but it was useless for Qi Tian.

"Woo, mother...... Daddy is dead...... What to do......"

"I don't want to be without my daddy......"

Ye Li patiently comforted: "Don't be afraid every day, your father won't die." ”

"Really?" Qi Tian blinked his big eyes glistening with tears, "But Daddy really looks like he's going to die......"

"No, it won't." Ye Li patted his head, "You go to the kitchen with Aunt Huanxi to cook something delicious and come to your father, he smells the fragrance, and he is reluctant to die." ”

Everyone: "......"

Qi Tian nodded.

After the little guy left, Ye Li asked Feng Xuan, "What's the matter?" ”

Feng Xuan usually couldn't get used to seeing Ye Li, but now he was even more angry, staring at her with a pair of eyes, eager to wait for a hole in her: "Shouldn't the princess ask you General Ye?" ”

Ye Li was puzzled: "What does this have to do with him?" I'm asking your lord......"

Squeak –

The door was opened, and Wu Zhengde came out with a medicine box, sweating profusely as if he had experienced life and death rescue.

"Lang Zhong, how is the prince?" Feng Xuan asked anxiously.

Wu Zhengde wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's also thanks to His Royal Highness the King of Jin that he has a good foundation and thick skin, if it were me, I would have gone to see the King of Hades a long time ago." At the moment, the injury is stable, but it is not sloppy, change the dressing and take the medicine on time, let him lie on the bed like this for two days, don't move around and tear the wound......"

"Feng Xuan." A man's voice came from the room, still cold, but much weaker than usual.

Feng Xuan hurriedly entered the house, and as soon as Ye Li was about to follow up, Wu Zhengde stopped her: "Princess, come here, let me tell you what to pay attention to." ”

Ye Li nodded, followed him to the main hall, listened to him nagging a lot, and wrote them down one by one.

When she went back again, the door had been closed, Feng Xuan was standing outside the door, and when he saw her coming, he had a begging face: "The prince wants to rest, the princess should not disturb him." ”

Ye Li looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you making a face on me again?" ”

Feng Xuan glanced at her, as if he didn't want to say more to her.

"The prince was beaten, has something to do with me?" Ye Li asked tentatively.

Feng Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes looked at the door, as if he was afraid that the people inside would hear it, so he took Ye Li away a little: "Princess, during your time in the palace, the prince has not treated you badly in everything, right?" Every time you used to go back to Wanbao Pavilion to get money, how did you think that money came from? It was all bought by the prince who went hunting in the mountains outside the city at night. The princess eats three dishes and one soup every day, all of which are used by the prince and the entire palace province to eat frugally......"

"What the hell are you trying to tell me?" Ye Li interrupted him.

Feng Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Princess, if you have a little conscience, please leave the palace as soon as possible and return to the general's mansion to be your second miss, and the farther away from our prince in the future, the better!" ”

"Is that what you meant, or is that what he meant?" Ye Li asked coldly.

Feng Xuan was the most trusted person around Qi Junmo, and he definitely wouldn't say this for no reason. But she remembered that Qi Junmo had said that as long as she didn't want to, he wouldn't drive him away.

"It's what I mean, and of course it's what the prince thinks in his heart." Feng Xuan said with a straight face, "The reason why the prince didn't say it was because he believed in the original incident, and the princess was also a victim. But what the truth is, only the princess herself knows. ”

"What's the matter?" Ye Li was more and more confused by what he said.

Feng Xuan didn't mean to tell her about the past, so he only continued with a cold face: "Even if the princess is not a spy sent by the prince, if you stay by the prince's side for a day, the prince's troubles will increase day by day, whether it is the prince or General Ye, my prince can't afford to provoke it." ”

"He was beaten today, has it to do with Ye Changfeng?" Ye Li frowned and asked.

Feng Xuan didn't nod, but he didn't deny it.

Ye Li had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, and now Feng Xuan had been guarding the door, she wanted to go in and see Qi Junmo, she was afraid that it would be a little troublesome, so it was better to find out the ins and outs of the matter first.

In Shengjing, if you want to inquire about something, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult.

In recent days, there has been a disturbance in the city, and those who have fled from the south, I heard that there has been a drought in the south recently, the rivers and lakes have gradually dried up, and there is no grain to be harvested, and when people are very hungry, it is common to gnaw on tree bark and catch mice.

In order to have something to eat, some refugees infiltrated Shengjing, and at first relied on alms from others to get by, but more and more people were getting by, and stealing people's money and property became more and more frequent.

Today in the court, the emperor is angry precisely because of this incident.

Dealing with the refugees in the city was not a good errand in the first place, but if it fell on Qi Junmo, Ye Li could also imagine it.

Drought doesn't happen overnight, so how can the refugee situation be resolved in a day or two? The emperor gave him three days to deal with the refugee problem in Shengjing. Originally, after the relief, the refugees in the city were divided a lot, but I don't know what happened, overnight, two or three times as many refugees emerged in the city, and when there were many people, the relief rations were naturally not enough, and hundreds of people scrambled for food, killing and wounding dozens of people.

Qi Junmo was also called into the palace because of this incident, and the emperor was angry and asked him to directly drive all the refugees out of Shengjing.

Ye Li felt that this was very similar to the scene when Ye Changfeng was asked to demolish Lijia Village, whoever went to do this wicked person would naturally be scolded by others.

Qi Junmo disobeyed the holy order, which originally annoyed the emperor, plus the crown prince and Ye Changfeng fanned the flames on the side, and then it was like this.

Don't say that Feng Xuanhui looked at her like this, and Ye Li was a little annoyed with himself. Feng Xuan still said something right, if it weren't for her quarrel with Ye Changfeng, Ye Changfeng would not have targeted him like this.

After Ye Li had dinner, he personally took the medicine and prepared to go to see Qi Junmo, never thinking that Feng Xuan was still guarding the door.

Feng Xuan was about to take her medicine, but Ye Li didn't let go.

"Princess, you better not bother the prince."

"I'm going to disturb, but you're not going?" Ye Li said speechlessly, "Besides, I live in this room now, and if you don't let me in now, will it be that I won't be able to go in when I sleep?" ”

Feng Xuan's face turned cold: "There are other rooms in the mansion." ”

Ye Li: "...... Okay, there you go. ”
