Li Qi smiled:

"Prince Yan rest assured, the soldiers in the north fought bloodily, and the imperial court will guarantee the needs of food and salary, since Li Shilang is unable to serve in his illness, then Xue Langzhong will temporarily take over the position of the head of the household department, and take over the responsibility of the needs of the north."

Xue Bu was none other than Wei Zhenhe's grandson-in-law, and when he heard what His Majesty said, he immediately surrendered his hand and was about to thank him, but Yan Yunzhou suddenly interrupted him and played directly:

"Your Majesty, Xue Langzhong's qualifications are still shallow, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this big responsibility, and I hope that Your Majesty will choose another candidate."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the court gasped, this is a positive and blatant refutation of His Majesty's words, although everyone knows in their hearts that if Xue Bu takes office, it will definitely not give Yan Yunzhou any convenience, Li Qi's face changed:

"Yan Yunzhou, do you still know humility? If you are so disrespectful, are you going to resist the decree? ”

With Li Qi's angry shout, the guards on both sides of the council hall had already drawn their swords and looked at Yan Yunzhou nervously, Yan Yunzhou looked around at these Yu Lin Guards, and the cold expression on his face did not fluctuate for a minute:

"The minister doesn't dare, it's just that the minister and the northern soldiers really have complaints about the ability of some adults in the household department, Lord Xue used to be the head of the household department, and the minister never saw him once sympathize with the northern soldiers and play, if the minister remembers correctly, Li Shilang used to bewitch His Majesty to embezzle the military funds in the north to build the Huangji Palace, this Lord Xue also has a share, right? Let these people be in charge of the military quarters in the north, this is to make the soldiers in the north desperate and hungry. ”

"Prince Yan said carefully, are you accusing Your Majesty of doing this?"

"Prince Yan has some military exploits, and he has repeatedly committed crimes today, Your Majesty doesn't care about you, and I hope Prince Yan knows how to advance and retreat."

Yan Yunzhou's words are to point the finger at today's saints, a person who will not be labeled as a rebel, even the courtiers who have the heart to speak for him are not easy to open their mouths, and for a while, the council hall is full of verbal criticism of Yan Yunzhou, his expression is fierce, Zhou is full of murderous energy, and looks at the person beside him:

"Advance or retreat? When the soldiers in the north had two bowls of rice porridge a day, Lord Zhou was still eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and was fighting a saliva lawsuit in the court, why didn't you say anything at that time? The soldiers in the north are not the soldiers of this king, but the soldiers of the Great Liang, have you ever sympathized with the soldiers who shed their blood on the battlefield? ”

No matter how you talk about this matter, Your Majesty is at the fault of today, and now that the foreign enemy is present, no one can say anything about the Cambrian generals in this palace, Li Qi's face is pale:

"Prince Yan, does this distrust me or the imperial court? Could it be that Prince Yan wants to set up his own door, but this beam can't be successful? ”

Li Qi was even calculating in his heart what would happen if he really captured Yan Yunzhou today, Yan Yunzhou raised his head lightly:

"Prince Yan's Mansion has been loyal and good for generations, three generations have protected the land and defended the territory, and the minister's father and brother have all died on the battlefield, if today's Your Majesty will label the minister as a rebel because of the minister's question about the military supplies, the minister has nothing to say, and Jiuquan will go to the emperor to ask for guilt."

After speaking, he lifted his robe and knelt on the cold hall, his knee felt a piercing pain when he touched the cold white jade brick, and with his kneeling, whether it was the military generals of the court or some of the old ministers who followed the first emperor, he knelt on the ground with a bang:

"Your Majesty is angry, although Prince Yan has verbally conflicted, Prince Yan's Mansion has been loyal and good for generations, and Prince Yan is also because the border soldiers are in a hurry, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive."

"Your Majesty is angry."

The people who knelt in the council hall, even Taiwei Su, who rarely spoke in the court, stepped forward and bowed his hand:

"Your Majesty, during the reign of the first emperor, he fought in the south and the north, and he personally conquered the north, and he treated the generals in the army with leniency, and now Prince Yan is just worried about the lack of food and grass during the enemy, not his intentions, the household department has indeed become more and more unruly in recent years, Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to clear the household department, and send another courtier and prime minister to follow."

"I think what Master Su said is very true."

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

The Su family is a family, Su Taiwei is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is the father-in-law of the first emperor.

The courtier who knelt down was to put Li Qi and the entire household on the fire, and in the end, it was Su Taiwei who directly recommended Cheng Yunchu, an old minister who was born in a poor family and had a lot of qualifications but did not touch anything, to take over the household department, and the original household secretary also invited himself to pay tribute, and this scene can be regarded as the end.

Ning Qi sat in the car and waited for Yan Yunzhou to come out, but he heard the sound of a row of armor, and the sound of the armor rubbing against him was getting closer and closer, until he reached the edge of his frame:

"Your Majesty has a decree, Beimu is coming, I am afraid that I will be in the capital, and I will order a strict investigation of the palace defense, and the frames of the courtiers outside the palace will all retreat to Suzaku Street behind the moat, and there must be no mistake."

The person who announced the decree was none other than Xue Tong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he glanced at Yan Hewen, who was waiting outside the frame of the Hades Mansion, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Everyone, move."

Yan Hewen's face was extremely bad, the place where they were was was Qinghua Gate, it was the second palace gate, hundreds of officials went to the court, and the carriage in the palace was waiting outside the Qinghua Gate, but today let the courtier's carriage retreat to the outside of the moat, and it took half an hour to walk from here to Suzaku Street outside the moat, and Yan Yunzhou's leg had just undergone surgery.

Yan Hewen had no choice but to step forward and try to intercede with Xue Tong, but Xue Tong was mocking:

"Your Flame King's Mansion is really going to heaven, and a little housekeeper can resist the decree?"

Ning Qi sat in the frame and understood, the emperor's sudden will was probably Yan Yunzhou, he opened the sedan curtain, but found that it was already snowing outside.

This weather Yan Yunzhou can only be more difficult, when he came, Yan Yunzhou also introduced him to Vermilion Bird Street, and it will take more than ten minutes to walk from here, with the current weather, he is afraid that he will not be able to go back alone.

He simply got off the frame directly, and pulled Yan Hewen, who was still going to talk to Xue Tong, his eyes looked at Xue Tong, just looking at this person's appearance, he knew that he must be a member of the emperor's faction, and now he is wearing out his mouth with him, and he will never be accommodating.

"Steward Yan left an umbrella, you take someone out, and I'll wait here for the prince to come out."

Yan Hewen's face was pale, but there was no other way at the moment, so he could only present the umbrella prepared in the frame to Ning Ji, and Xue Tong recognized Ning Ji and stepped forward with a sarcastic face:

"Princess Flame, what is this doing? Don't you understand Your Majesty's will? ”

Ning Ji raised his eyes and looked at him as if he was staring at a clown jumping off the beam, and said in a clear voice:

"Your Majesty has decreed that the frames of the courtiers outside the palace will all be withdrawn to Suzaku Street behind the moat, there must be no mistake, the frames have been withdrawn, what else does this lord command?"

Xue Tong snorted playfully:

"The frame has to be retreated, and the people in the frame have to be retreated."

The heavily armored man behind him stepped forward, but there was no fear on Ning's face:

"Your Majesty's decree is to investigate the Beimu spies, and I am here because the prince is ill, and it is not against the holy will, the general is not doing errands at the moment, but he is aggressive towards me, the general suspects that I am a Beimu spy? Or does the general think that His Majesty will not be considerate of Prince Yan's seriously ill body? ”

Xue Tong's face froze, but Ning Yi said lightly again:

"If the general can't make up his mind, isn't there a court meeting going on inside? Why don't we go in together and see if what the general means by His Majesty? ”

Ning Ji looked at Xue Tong's face and was a little mocking in his heart, this is not a means to be on the table, this person will not dare to make trouble in front of the hundred officials if there is no problem in his brain, otherwise, the first person in His Majesty's surgery is the dog leg in front of him.

The frames of the courtiers have withdrawn from the Qinghua Gate, and the frame outside the Qinghua Gate that has not yet seen the end is clean in an instant, Ning Yi is wearing a snow-blue tunic robe standing outside the Qinghua Gate, his posture is straight, handsome as a pine, he raised his eyes slightly, looking from the Qinghua Gate, the palace on the white jade steps like clouds is majestic, glazed tiles, and heavy eaves.

The towering red wall and the white jade paved ground all symbolize the majesty of the imperial power.

The dynasty has dispersed, Yan Yunzhou can barely stand, Su Beicheng's gaze was fixed on him for a moment, but he could only force himself to move away, the heavy snow outside was flying, the snow covered the ground, Yan Yunzhou's knees were swollen unbearably, the wound on his left leg was implicated in pain, and every step he took was like enduring torture.

The courtiers of the council hall came out in twos and threes, Ning Ji held an umbrella in his hand, he couldn't enter this Qinghua Gate, he could only look at the courtiers scattered in the distance, and finally the figure with an obvious limp was reflected in his eyes, the person was dressed in court clothes, his sick bones were broken, and the figure and picture in front of him made his heart move slightly for the first time.

In this snowstorm, he seemed to be able to imagine the surging pictures above the court, even if Yan Yunzhou was winning, it would be very difficult to win, right? He may not be able to hold on to this position for half a day, but he has supported a body with half a foot in the coffin to the present.

Stepping down the steps, Yan Yunzhou raised his eyes and saw Ning Qi, who was independent of the wind and snow outside the Zhu Gate, and the eyes of the two met in the wind and snow.

The courtiers who went down to the court were probably no strangers to Ning Qi, and when they looked at the person who was waiting alone in Qinghuamen with an umbrella at this moment, they suddenly felt that the temperament of this person was very similar to Yan Yunzhou for a moment, and they were all like that.

The courtiers walked past Ning Ji's side, Ning Ji didn't look sideways, including that cheap father, Yan Yunzhou almost lost strength in his leg when he walked out of Qinghua Gate, Ning Ji supported his elbow, raised his hand to brush the snow off his shoulder, put the cloak that he had been holding between his arms and didn't let the snow get wet on him, raised his eyes and asked softly:

"The frame is on Suzaku Street, can you still walk?"

Almost half of Yan Yunzhou's body weight leaned on Ning Qi's arm, the thick cloak finally made his body a little warmer, and he suddenly smiled when he looked at the people around him:

"If you can't leave, how will you be safe?"

Ning blame did not hesitate:

"I'll carry you."

Yu identity, he is a doctor, Yan Yunzhou is a patient, there is no problem with him carrying him, Yu Dayi, the land he is standing on now is also guarded by Yan Yunzhou, and there is no problem.

Yan Yunzhou closed his eyes and relieved the pain in his legs:

"Save some face for me, let's go."

Ning Qi didn't say anything else, his hand almost propped the umbrella on his head, and slowly walked forward with his body, ignoring all the prying eyes around him.

After a long time, Yan Yunzhou remembered the young figure waiting alone outside the Qinghua Gate, and Ning Yi would always remember Yan Yunzhou's day when he was so embarrassed.

When it came to the frame, Yan Yunzhou was almost out of strength, but fortunately, Yan Hewen had already prepared a charcoal stove on the frame, and the frame was quite warm, Yan Yunzhou only coughed out the cough that had been pressing all the way when he arrived at the car, Ning Zhi took off the cloak that was still a little wet on his body, and immediately looked down to check the wound on his leg.

When he opened his pants, he found that this person's knees were white and swollen, and he frowned tightly, he didn't do this when he went out in the morning, even if it snowed, it wouldn't progress so quickly:

"Are you kneeling?"

Yan Yunzhou's body leaned against the pillow on the wall of the car, breathing heavily, and smiled when he heard it:

"When you see the Son of Heaven in the court, how can you not kneel."

Ning was stunned, yes, no matter what, it was also the emperor who was sitting on the Jinluan Palace, and he didn't feel that he should have rebelled sooner.

He looked at the wound that had been stitched up, his sutures were very regular, and there was no sign of the wound being torn at the moment, but there must be something involved inside, and there was no better way than to raise it.

Yan Yunzhou went to the palace and changed into a small sedan chair, and when he arrived in the Fenghua Pavilion, Ning Qi immediately asked someone to bring ginger oil and hot water:

"The knee should be arthritis like this, first apply a hot compress, and I'll rub it with ginger oil for you later."

Ning Qi's brows have not been loosened since he entered the house, and now it is snowing like this, and it can only be colder when he arrives in the north, not to mention the wound on his leg, not to mention the wound on his leg, even this knee is enough for Yan Yunzhou to bear.

On the soft collapse, Yan Yunzhou's knees were put on two hot towels soaked in ginger oil, Ning Qi sat on the edge of the couch and helped him rub his knees with this hot compress, but Yan Yunzhou raised his hand and held his wrist:

"It's good to let the doctor come, you've been standing in the snow for so long, and you're cold, so go to the fire to warm up first."

Ning Qi didn't insist, the hot water from the next person came over, and the medicine prepared by Yang Sheng made Yan Yunzhou soak his feet to warm up, Yan Yunzhou directly waved his hand to bring another basin, and after a while, Ning Qi also sat next to him, two people soaked their feet in a basin, and Yan Yunzhou closed his eyes slightly before speaking.

"Today's holy decree is down, these three days the whole army will prepare grain and grass, I will go to the north in three days, you stay in the palace first, and when there is no problem with Qi'er, then go to the north, I will leave half of the silver armor guard for you."

In the past few days, Ning Zhi can be regarded as knowing the silver armor guard, the silver armor guard is Yan Yunzhou's personal guard, it is said that it is extremely sophisticated, although it is an exaggeration to fight one against one hundred, but with one to twenty, it has a real historical record.

"The whole army? Aren't all the soldiers and horses in the north? Why do you still have to reorganize the army? ”

"The emperor sent 10,000 city guards, led by Wei Changqing, and I went all the way to the north."

Ning Qi's face changed:

"What? 10,000 city guards with you? What if..."

He didn't say it, and Yan Yunzhou also knew what he was worried about:

"Although the commander of the city guard army is Wei Changqing, several of the thousands of households under him are soldiers from the former southern realm, so the city guard army is not ironclad, and Wei Changqing is not so bold to do something to me on the road."

"What if?"

After all, the one in the palace probably dreamed that Yan Yunzhou would die early, Yan Yunzhou smiled:

"This king's secret guard is not a vegetarian, 10,000 soldiers will just bluff people, Wei Changqing can't make these 10,000 people bow down, if he really has the intention of taking risks, his life will come to an end."

Seeing that Yan Yunzhou said this, Ning Zhi didn't ask any more, after all, he and the emperor have not dealt with each other for so many years and have not fallen behind, so there should be no problem.

In the three days, Ning Qi almost didn't let Yan Yunzhou stay, and the wound on his leg healed well, after all, Yan Yunzhou's own physical fitness was not bad, and the three days passed in a flash, Yan Yunzhou looked at Ning Qi and said:

"I will leave the dark mystery to you, and I will take care of it on the way."

Ning Ji shook his head:

"No, it's enough to have a silver guard, I'm just a small character, no one cares."

Yan Yunzhou is the thorn in the side of the palace, he is just a little-known chess piece, half of the silver armor guard is enough.

"You keep it, my secret guard is not the only one who is dark Xuan, he just follows me every day, and you are not familiar with others when he stays, it is more convenient to have him after all."

Ning Zhi didn't refuse anymore when he heard this, indeed, he didn't know any of the silver armor guards, there was a dark Xuan on the road who could still have someone to talk to, Yan Hewen and Yang Sheng went to the north with Yan Yunzhou first, and Ning Ji handed over the allicin prepared for Yan Yunzhou to Yang Sheng in front of him:

"Doctor Yang, this medicine is four times a day, one bottle at a time, you must watch the prince drink it, one meal is not missing, not a drop is left."
