Text Chapter 18 Give up the country
The sons of those families helped Qi Yun Yuexuan to walk towards the east courtyard, which was the main courtyard of the General's Mansion. After a while, Murong Zhining saw through the crack in the door that they had rearranged the wine and food in the east courtyard, and the group continued to drink there noisily. There was also music during the banquet, and several women could be faintly seen dancing with their sleeves fluttering. Murong Zhining shook his head and smiled bitterly, these children of the family can only eat, drink and have fun.
Qi Yun Yuexuan accompanied the three children of the family to drink wine in the east courtyard, and there were special musicians and dancers in the house to sing and dance to cheer them up. Qi Yun Yuexuan looked very unhappy, drinking alone and thinking about his thoughts. He was forced to hand over the talisman in his hand and put down his military power, which was really a great shame for him. He pondered hard, who was behind the troubles in the DPRK and China?
This afternoon, he and these three disciples of the family drank and listened to music in the drunken Ling Building, these three children of the family had listened to lectures in the school run by the royal family with Qi Yun Yuexuan when they were young, and they still had some friendships.
Several children of the family at the adjacent table had a very unfriendly attitude towards them, and they were extremely provocative. Among them, Yu Shangshu's son Yu Jihui walked to their table and stared at Qi Yun Yuexuan frivolously: "Where did you come from, a charming little lady? Come and drink a glass of wine with your master, how much does this reward cost?" Qi Yun Yuexuan was in a bad mood, didn't pay attention to him, and still drank by himself. Yu Jihui had to inch in, thinking that he was just a vain, but in fact he was weak and could be bullied.
Yu Jihui put his hand on Qi Yun Yuexuan's shoulder, deliberately humiliated him, and said: "Little lady, is this shy? With this handsome face, it is much easier to accompany the wine than to be a general." Several of the sons of the family who came with him let out a prodigal laugh.
Qi Yun Yuexuan couldn't bear it anymore and poured the wine in his hand into his face. Yu Jihui wiped a handful of wine from his face: "General Qiyun is really domineering, I heard that you caused a big trouble in Yuliang, and now you have been dismissed and investigated by the emperor." Why are you still so angry? You still think you are a general with military power? My father said that you are going to die this time. ”
Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't want to cause trouble, but the alcohol made him a little out of control. He was young and vigorous, and he couldn't tolerate others being so arrogant in front of him. He rushed over and grabbed Yu Jihui, and with three punches and two kicks, he couldn't get up when he crawled on the ground. Qi Yun Yuexuan's cold low roar made the people present tremble: "Lao Tzu is an official in the same dynasty as your father, and you have to call Uncle when you see Lao Tzu." Didn't your father tell you that you have to act like a junior in front of your elders? This time, Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson for your father first, and next time you dare to do so, let you lie in bed for the rest of your life. Those people trembled and picked up Yu Jihui and fled.
The cold wind blew on Qi Yun Yuexuan's face, making his mind gradually sober up, and he repeatedly pondered what was the purpose of Yu Jihui's provocation in the afternoon? Yuliang's disaster relief was handled by the Ministry of Households, and Yu Wei was the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, could this be inseparable from the case of embezzlement and relief of silver?
Yu Jihui lay prone on the bed, humming and crying out in pain. Yu Wei stood beside his bed with a cold face: "You are not a good man, who are you going to provoke, do you want to provoke that evil star?" Lao Tzu doesn't dare to provoke him, you see that Lao Tzu's men are planted in his hands one by one, and if you don't do it, you have to pull Lao Tzu into the water." Yu Jihui cried with a sad face: "The child saw that he looked like a woman, and thought that he was weak, so he wanted to humiliate him and give him a dismount, but I didn't expect him to directly want the child's life." I don't care, someone is bullying your son, and you can't sit idly by, father. Alas, I am dying of pain, and I can't live. Yu Wei said coldly: "How can my son be moved by him? Don't worry, my father will not let him go." ”
Time passed day by day, and the Qin Cha sent by Yan Feng to verify also returned to Shangjing, and first reported the truth to Yan Feng. Yuliang County did have a book of ten thousand people, but it was not to impeach Qi Yun Yuexuan, but to write his contribution to the court during the Yuliang disaster relief, but he did not expect to be intercepted by a magistrate with ulterior motives and changed to an impeachment letter. And every amount of money handled by Qi Yun Yuexuan was recorded by a special person, and a scholar who still had a conscience in the county government also handed over the records and account books that the magistrates wanted to destroy to Hu Qizhi to bring back.
A satisfied smile appeared on Yan Feng's face, this case can initially restore Yun Yuexuan's innocence. But it will take some effort to find out the high-ranking officials involved behind the scenes.
Yan Feng immediately asked Qi Shangming to personally go to Xuan Yun Yuexuan to see him.
In the imperial study, Yan Feng informed Qi Yun Yuexuan of the news brought by Qin Cha: "You really did not live up to my expectations of you, but you also acted recklessly. For the sake of your meritorious disaster relief, I will not punish you for leaving the city without permission, and you must be cautious in doing things in the future, so as not to cause me any more trouble and fall into the hands of others. Qi Yun Yuexuan respectfully clenched his fists and said yes.
Yan Feng's words changed: "By the way, you should send Murong Zhining's girl back to the palace, so as not to gossip." You are not young anymore, and I am ready to marry my sister Princess Jingrong. ”
Qi Yun Yuexuan was shocked, he didn't expect Yan Feng to still remember that Murong Zhining, he underestimated Murong Zhining's status in Yan Feng's heart. Besides, he doesn't want to be a horse, he already has a sweetheart in his heart. Thinking of Qi Yunhuan's infatuation with Yan Feng, thinking of Yan Feng's indifference to Qi Yunhuan, and thinking of his friendship with Yan Feng, he was silent for a long time.
Yan Feng saw him bow his head and was silent, and said, "You don't want it, Princess Jingrong is a woman that the children of the capital family can't ask for." ”
Princess Jingrong is Yan Feng's younger sister, named Yan Yu. Yan Yu is nineteen years old this year, beautiful and talented. When she was young, she often played games with Yan Feng, Qi Yun Yuexuan, and Qi Yun Wan in the palace, and she had a good impression of Qi Yun Yuexuan since she was a child. Several times, Yan Yu put down the princess's shelf and begged Yan Feng to marry Qi Yun Yuexuan to her as an attachment horse, but Qi Yun Yuexuan has always refused Yan Feng's marriage twice under the pretext of making meritorious contributions. So much so that Yan Yu is now nineteen years old, and he still refuses to recruit horses. That Yan Yu was infatuated with Qi Yun Yuexuan, and he had the posture of not marrying him, and even the Emperor Taishang was in a hurry.
Qi Yun Yuexuan knelt on the ground with a shameful face: "Please take back the emperor's fate, the last general will not dare to insult Princess Jingrong." The last general was greedy and drunk the night before, and the Murong girl was insulted, and the last general had taken her as a concubine and asked the emperor to cure the last general's crime. ”
Yan Feng snorted coldly: "Do you think that you can deceive me with this little cleverness? My words are a holy decree, not only do you want to marry Princess Jingrong, but you must also send Murong Zhining back to me." If I don't know you, I'll be fooled by your nonsense. ”
Qi Yun Yuexuan knelt on the ground, and slammed his head on the ground: "The last general deserves death, please punish the emperor." Murong Zhining her, she has indeed become the concubine of the last general. ”
Yan Feng angrily grabbed Yun Yuexuan's shirt and dragged him up from the ground, shouting uncontrollably: "I don't believe it! Although I am a son of heaven, I have never been tempted by any woman. I believe you can also see that you will not rob me of my heart for Miss Murong. Besides, Jingrong has not married for you for so many years, so you can't bear to watch her wait for you all the time, old and dead in the palace? You must bring Miss Murong into the palace tomorrow, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old love. ”
Qi Yun Yuexuan knelt on the ground again: "Please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate!"
Yan Feng leaned over and looked at Qi Yun Yuexuan's eyes, and softened his voice: "I don't believe that you don't think about the brotherly relationship with me, if you return Miss Murong to me, I can give you this great country!" Qi Yun Yuexuan still looked ashamed: "It's too late, I'm sorry for the emperor." ”
Yan Feng angrily grabbed a porcelain bottle on the shelf and threw it at Qi Yun Yuexuan's head. Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't dodge, the bottle smashed on his head with a muffled sound, and then fell to the ground. Blood flowed down Qi Yun Yuexuan's hairline and sideburns to his face, and he didn't brow a brow. There was deathly silence in the study, except for the faint sound of blood dripping on the carpet.
After a long time, Yan Feng slowly came back to his senses, and he said coldly: "I won't believe you, you go down, and bring Murong Zhining to see me tomorrow." ”
Qi Yun Yuexuan went to Minghui Palace with a bloody face, and Qi Yun Yue exclaimed when he saw him: "What's wrong with you? Hurry up, come here, bring the medicine box first." Qi Yun Yuexuan sat there distracted, letting Qi Yunwan wash the wound in his hair with wine, Qi Yunwan cried: "Listen to my sister, send that cheap maid back to the palace, I have never seen the emperor do such a cruel to anyone, and next time he will directly kill you." Qi Yun Yuexuan sneered: "If I bring that cheap maid back now, wouldn't it be a shame on myself? Then wouldn't I suffer in vain this time? I will count this account on that cheap maid." Sister, rest assured, the emperor won't kill me. Qi Yunwan shook his shoulder: "Obedient, he is your brother-in-law, think about which emperor is not from the three palaces and six courts? Let's not fight, give it back to him. ”
