The last day of March.

A misty drizzle shrouded the sky over Chang'an City.

The entire Chang'an City was bathed in the long-lost spring rain.

The inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.

Xu Yi held a military book in his hand and lay leisurely at the door of the house.

Since the Great Dynasty Meeting, Xu Yi has completely started to be the shopkeeper.

Except for going to the Ministry of Rites from time to time to discuss marriage, he never walked out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion again.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

Since the second day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the matter of Xu Yi's inauguration has spread from the court to the people at a flying speed.

In the end, the entire Chang'an City can be said to be known to everyone.

Some people accuse Xu Yi of being unwilling to defend the land for the country.

Some people secretly ridiculed Xu Yi for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and he just wanted to be the free prince.

Some people accuse and ridicule, and naturally there are people who defend and justify.

For a time, the literati and scholars in Chang'an City held one debate after another.

And the venue was full, it was really lively.

However, no matter how controversial the outside world is, it is monstrous.

Xu Yi was still calm and calm, without the slightest hint of justification.

It is precisely because of this light wind that countless literati and scholars are confused.

Some people who secretly manipulated this matter even felt that they used all their strength to throw a punch, but it ended up hitting the cotton.

Before I knew it, it was around noon.

Far from abating, the rain in the sky gradually intensified.

Xu Yi glanced at the gradually rapid rain outside the door, turned over slightly, and continued to read the military book in his hand.

After a while, Zhao Shou hurriedly walked through the rain curtain with an umbrella towards Xu Yi.

"Sixth Master, the prince of Jiyin had a dispute with someone in Yunshu Pavilion."

"In the end, he promised that as long as you dare to take the land, even if he sells all his family property, he will give you half a year's military salary and food."

Zhao Shou closed his umbrella and walked into the house to report in a low voice.

"The prince of Jiyin?" Xu Yi put down the military book in his hand and confirmed.

Zhao Shou nodded and replied, "It is the son of the royal family of Najiyin County."

"Interesting, interesting." After getting the confirmation, Xu Yi smiled and said twice funny.

The king of Jiyin County is not an outsider, but the son of the former king of Yan who took the initiative to give up the king of Yan.

When he was the king of Jiyin County, he sold all the things that could be sold in the entire Yan Wangfu!

Now his son has put down his arrogance, as long as Xu Yi is in the Yan land, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he will have to scrape together enough military salary and food for Xu Yi for half a year.

It's really fun, it's amazing.

How many days have it only been?

The salaries and food and grass were already complete.

It can be seen from this that Xu Yong attaches great importance to Xu Yi's access.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi shook his head slightly and asked, "Is there anyone still threatening to donate war horses today?"

"Sixth Master, how do you know?" Zhao Shouyan was surprised when he heard this: "After the prince of Jiyin put down his arrogance, in an instant, several children of military meritorious families and the proprietors of some big commercial houses refused to admit defeat and let go of their arrogance."

"As long as you are in the land, they will find a way to get you a battalion of war horses."

"It is said that last night's Yunshu Pavilion Cultural Meeting almost turned into a donation meeting in the end."

"Now the whole Chang'an City is talking about it everywhere."

After Zhao Shou's words fell, Xu Yi smiled noncommittally, and then waved his hand and said, "Let them go, it's time for us to have lunch."

"Yes." Zhao Shou nodded, and then exited the premises.

After Zhao Shou walked into the kitchen, the smile on Xu Yi's face disappeared visibly.

Xu Yi got up slowly and stood with his hands behind his back

Standing at the door of the premises.

Look through the endless rain curtain and look in the direction of the palace.

From Zhao Shou's retelling, it is not difficult to find that there must be the shadow of Emperor Zhengde behind the Yunshu Pavilion incident.

None of them.

First, with Xu Yong's current strength, he simply couldn't gather the materials needed by Xu Yi to become a vassal in just a few days.

Not to mention the rest for the time being, the military salaries and money and food for half a year, as well as 4,500 war horses, this is already an astronomical amount.

What's more, these things alone are not enough to make Xu Yi willingly surrender.

Xu Yi knows, Xu Yong, and Emperor Zhengde also know.

Even so, Xu Yong still chose to disclose all this in the Yunshu Pavilion Literary Conference.

Then, there must be a backhand that Xu Yi can't refuse.

And this is obviously not what Xu Yong can do now!

Second, even if Xu Yong's strength can really do this, he will definitely not do it so explicitly.

Isn't he afraid of Emperor Zhengde's jealousy and suspicion?

There is only one possibility that can prompt Xu Yong to act like this.

That is behind this matter, it is led by Emperor Zhengde.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi, who was staring at the direction of the palace, couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

It was a good calculation to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to ensure that I could not continue to refuse to settle for the land. ，

He took advantage of this opportunity to greatly weaken Xu Yong's strength. , Xu Yi smashed his mouth and muttered in his heart.

But soon.

Xu Yi turned his head to look in the direction of the East Palace Prince's Mansion, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter.

This matter seems to be a loss for Xu Yi and Xu Yong, and Emperor Zhengde has become the biggest winner.

This is not the case.

Xu Yi was the biggest winner from beginning to end, and Emperor Zhengde could only be ranked second.

As for Xu Yong...... Utter losers as well as ...... The Great Injustice.

......

......

At the same time.

In the rainy East Palace, the Prince's Mansion.

Xu Yong and Li Guangli reunited in the study.

It's just that compared with last time, the two of them at this time have a strong sense of tiredness on their faces.

Li Guangli took out a two-finger-thick account book from the hem of his sleeve and slowly placed it on the book between the two.

"It won't be long before the news of the Yunshu Pavilion Cultural Society will spread throughout Chang'an City."

"King Jiyin's twists and turns are also on the way, and they will arrive in Chang'an City today and tomorrow."

"That's all the cost, you see." Li Guangli looked at the two-finger-thick account book on the book and said distressedly.

Xu Yong was tired, stretched out his hand and slowly picked up the two-finger-thick account book on the book.

Obviously, the account book was only two fingers thick, but Xu Yong picked it up very slowly.

It was as if the account book weighed a thousand pounds.

….

In fact, it is.

Although the account book is only two fingers thick, it carries nearly ninety percent of the savings of Xu Yong and the Li family.

Xu Yong hurriedly flipped through a few pages, and then quickly put the account book aside.

None of them.

It's so distressing.

With the books placed on top of the books.

In an instant, the study fell into a thick dead silence again.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other speechlessly.

God knows how much the two of them paid in order to let Xu Yi settle for Yan and dispel the suspicion of Emperor Zhengde.

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Yong leaned back, looked up at the roof, and said weakly: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, and I will write a letter later to completely end this matter."

Li Guangli was silent for a moment, then sighed

"It's better to end it soon."

......

......

Afternoon.

Inside the house in Jingzhao Mansion.

Xu Yi, who had simply had lunch, yawned slightly, and was about to go back to his room to rest for a while.

Why.

Before he could enter the house, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Winter, winter, winter."

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince can be in the courtyard."

A slightly shrill voice came from outside the courtyard door.

'Zhan Zhu. , The moment Xu Yi heard the voice, Zhan Zhu's figure appeared in his mind.

None of them.

The voice is so recognizable.

It came pretty quickly. , Xu Yi muttered in a low voice, and then motioned for Zhao Shou to go and open the door.

After a while, Zhan Zhu walked into the inner house with four little eunuchs.

Two of the young eunuchs held in their hands a mahogany tray covered with a red cloth.

"The old slave Zhan Zhu has seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." After Zhan Zhu saluted respectfully, he immediately motioned for the two little eunuchs to step forward.

Seeing this, the two little eunuchs did not dare to delay, and hurriedly stepped forward with the tray.

Zhan Zhu introduced in a timely manner: "This is the red agate and Hetian jade that have just been paid tribute in the Western Regions."

"Your Majesty specially ordered the old slave to send a copy to His Highness, so that His Highness will give it to the six princesses in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Yi bowed in the direction of the palace and said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The words fell.

Xu Yi motioned for Zhao Shou to take the mahogany tray.

As soon as Zhao Shoufang took the mahogany tray, Zhan Zhu said in a low voice, "Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?"

Xu Yi had no choice, stretched out his hand and asked, "Father-in-law Zhan, please."

As he spoke, Xu Yi picked up an umbrella and led the way ahead.

Inside the study room.

After Zhao Shou brought a pot of tea, he closed the door completely.

Xu Yi lifted the teapot and slowly poured two cups of tea.

"Father-in-law Zhan, please." Xu Yi slowly pushed one of the cups to Zhan Zhu's side.

Zhan Zhu hurriedly half got up and took the tea, and said politely, "His Royal Highness Youlao."

"Father-in-law Zhan is polite." Xu Yi said a simple greeting, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to Gonggong Zhan?"

Zhan Zhu slowly sat down, and then opened the door and said, "Has Your Highness ever heard about Yunshu Pavilion?"

Xu Yi said in his heart: "Sure enough. ，

Immediately settled down, nodded slightly, and said: "I have heard a little, I heard that the prince of Jiyin put down his arrogance, as long as he is in the land of Yan, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he will have to prepare half a year's military salary, grain and grass for a certain person."

….

Zhan Zhu smiled and then asked, "What does Your Highness think of this?"

Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "According to the ancestral teachings, the prince of Jiyin can only inherit half of the Jiyin king's food, but not the prince of Jiyin County."

Zhan Zhu's face pale slightly when he heard this, and then he said with a dry laugh: "Your Highness doesn't know, the prince of the King of Jiyin came to the capital on behalf of his father this time."

"What he said was the original intention of King Jiyin, and King Jiyin's performance will arrive in the cabinet soon."

Xu Yi smiled and said noncommittally: "King Jiyin is really a lot of courage, half a year's military salary and grain and grass, this is not a small amount."

After the words fell, Xu Yi looked up at Zhan Zhu and smiled without saying a word.

It was not that he deliberately embarrassed Zhan Zhu, but that he used this to declare his dissatisfaction to Emperor Zhengde behind Zhan Zhu.

So as to conceal their true purpose, and then achieve the maximization of benefits.

With Zhan Zhu's intelligence and experience, he naturally understood that Xu Yi was not targeting him.

Zhan Zhuyang pretended to laugh twice, and then changed the topic and said, "In this way, the problem of military salaries and grain and grass will be solved."

Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "It's just half a year's military salary, grain and grass, what about half a year later? At the beginning, the king of Jiyin was the general

All the valuable items in the Yan King's Mansion have been sold out."

"Although the Yanwang Mansion is now maintained by officials from Shanggu County, it is inevitable that there will be a beginning of disrepair after more than 20 years."

"Buying furniture, repairing the palace, and paying the army and food and grass after half a year."

"Ugh." As he spoke, Xu Yi sighed heavily.

Then he continued, "These things give me a terrible headache just thinking about them."

"In half a year, it is difficult to afford tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with King Yan's food alone."

"If there is a mutiny over the issue of military pay and food, it is a sin of so-and-so."

"In addition, there are a series of things in the Yan Palace, although I don't care about these things outside my body, I can't care less about the majesty of the imperial court in the border county."

"Father-in-law Zhan doesn't know, since that day after the court meeting, he can't be at ease every day."

"It is precisely because of this that the daily affairs of Jingzhao Mansion are now taken care of by Captain Zhang."

"Ugh." After the words fell, Xu Yi sighed heavily.

The expression is also extraordinarily silent.

Zhan Zhu paused, and said comfortingly, "Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious, things can always be solved, right?"

"Alas~, hopefully." Xu Yi sighed.

Zhan Zhu looked at Xu Yi's lonely expression, and couldn't help asking, "If the matter is resolved, Your Highness is willing to be in the land of Yandi."

Xu Yi's face instantly became complicated when he heard this, and there was a faint look of struggle in his eyes.

After a long while, Xu Yi's complexion gradually returned to calm.

Then he replied in a deep voice: "A certain has never refused to go to the Yan Land from beginning to end, and as a prince, it is the duty of a certain to defend the land."

"I'm just worried, worried that I won't be able to achieve enough and will be more than I can lose."

Zhan Zhu's face paused slightly, and he got up and arched his hand, "Your Highness is serious."

After the words fell, Zhan Zhu looked down at the inscription on the book.

Then he arched his hand again and said, "Your Highness, it's not too early, so the old slave won't bother too much."

Xu Yi got up to send him off.

After Zhan Zhu left the inner house completely.

Xu Yi walked to the house and lifted the red cloth covering the mahogany tray.

As the red cloth was lifted, a red agate the size of *** head and a Hetian jade slightly larger than the red agate were instantly revealed in the air.

Xu Yi put away the two extremely precious red agate and Hetian jade with an expressionless face.

After placing the bookcase on the side, he walked out of the building.

Xu Yi stood at the door of the house, looking at the direction of the palace through the rain curtain with an expressionless face.

After Zhan Zhu's temptation, it won't take long for the matter to be completely settled.

I don't know when Xu Yong learned that he asked for the cost of repairing the palace.

How wonderful his complexion will be.

It's a pity.

Xu Yi can't see this kind of scene.

Unconsciously, the misty drizzle in Chang'an City became more and more rapid, and the wind began to become more and more noisy.

It was as if he wanted to wash away the dust on Chang'an City, an ancient city that had just experienced a great drought.

The first emperor of the ages who came out of Zongzheng Temple.
