I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

"Humph, do you think pretending to be stupid is a smart move? Don't think everyone is stupid. You can play tricks in front of those shallow people, but remember, don't act rashly in front of an old fox like Shangguan Ba."

Emperor Taining snorted coldly and drank the wine in one gulp.

"I will keep this in mind. Even if Shangguan Ba ​​is cunning, he cannot defeat my father's ambitions. I will do my best to learn from my father in the future."

"Don't be so sweet. I summoned you tonight because I have two parting gifts for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Taining took out a secret letter from his arms.

When he unfolded the letter, he saw two thin pieces of paper inside. Although they were as light as a feather, they were worth a fortune.

The first piece of paper was a silver note. When Fang Yi saw the amount, a flash of disbelief flashed across his eyes: "One hundred thousand taels!"

For Fang Yi, whose monthly salary was only three hundred taels, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money. In the impoverished Yanzhou, this money might play a significant role.

Fang Yichu didn't understand the other piece of paper at first, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an imperial edict of amnesty, with the imperial seal of Emperor Taining clearly stamped on the lower right corner.

It is strange that the space where the name should be filled in on the edict is left blank, as if it is an amnesty order waiting to be completed.

"Father, what does this mean?" Fang Yi asked in confusion.

Emperor Taining tapped the blank space and said, "Still unclear? Whomever you wish to pardon, fill in his name and seal it. The edict will take effect immediately. I will also inform the Minister of the Secretariat."

"But I don't have anyone who needs to be pardoned..."

"Time will prove that the value of this edict may exceed that of the silver note! Keep it safely." Emperor Taining said earnestly.

Fang Yi hurriedly put the two items away. Emperor Taining filled the wine cup again, and a hint of warmth suddenly appeared in his cold tone.

"Yier, after this separation, I don't know when we can be together again. I once promised your mother to protect you, but you have suffered a lot since childhood. As a father, I only hope that you can live in peace and happiness in Yanzhou."

Fang Yi had never expected that his father, who was always strict, would have such a gentle side. He called him "Yi'er" and was so moved that he could not express it in words: "Father...Father, please don't say that. If it weren't for your protection, I would have been killed by someone."

"Yier, I cannot reveal your identity to the public. This is to protect you and for the peace of the world. I hope you understand..."

After spending a few days with Emperor Taining, Fang Yi deeply felt his deep affection for his biological mother, as well as his guilt and protectiveness towards his son.

This heavy and implicit fatherly love made him kneel down in front of Emperor Taining and choked up, "Father, please take care of your health. I will make a career in Yanzhou. One day, I will eliminate the treacherous and evil people for you, and eliminate all obstacles and hidden dangers, so that you can enjoy your old age."

"I am in Kyoto, waiting for that day... Go away, I have been away from the palace for a long time, it is time to go home." Emperor Taining turned around again and faced away from Fang Yi, not wanting anyone to see the emperor's tears and pain.

"My son, please retire..."

Fang Yi stood up, looked back at the blurry figure of Emperor Taining in the night, and stepped out of the threshold of the Jingzhao Yin government office step by step.

Along the way, Fang Yi's mood was like the surging tide, complicated and confusing.

However, when he stepped into the mansion, he was greeted by an unexpected scene - Liu Congwu, the powerful commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had been waiting here for a long time.

What is not well known is that Liu Congwu has another hidden identity. He is Concubine Xi's younger brother. In other words, he is Fang Yi's uncle!

The fog in Fang Yi's heart dissipated instantly. It turned out that Liu Congwu's care and concern for her over the past few days was not accidental, but originated from this inseparable bond of family affection.

"Uncle, you finally showed up. It's harder to see you than to see the emperor! What have you been busy with lately?"

Now that the truth was out, Fang Yi no longer tried to hide it, and there was a hint of intimacy in his words.

Liu Congwu smiled gently, unloaded a heavy bag from the horse's back, and handed it to Fang Yi.

"This is the parting gift I prepared for you."

Fang Yi was about to unpack his bag but was quickly stopped by Liu Congwu.

"My Lord, please be patient. There are many people here, so it is better to wait until you get into the carriage to take a closer look. This bag contains the detailed files of all officials in Yanzhou, as well as a special list."

Liu Congwu lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

"The files of the Imperial Guard have always been kept secret... Oh, I understand, uncle. Could it be that you have been copying these materials these days?" Fang

Yi suddenly realized and turned his gaze to Liu Congwu, only to see that his eyes were dark and bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept for several nights.

"Uncle, you are so tired, but this information is too important to me. By the way, what is that special list?"

Fang Yi asked curiously.

"The value of that list far exceeds the files I have copied all these sleepless nights. It may help you achieve an earth-shaking career in Yanzhou!"

Liu Congwu's tone was full of mystery.

After Liu Congwu left, Fang Yi did not get on the car immediately, but stopped at the foot of the Kyoto city wall and looked up at the gradually darkening sky.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, indicating that a rainstorm was about to come.

The fierce wind blew against Fang Yi's face, and the images of the Sixth Prince, the Third Prince, Shangguan Ba, as well as the champion marquises and court officials at the luncheon appeared in his mind.

Fang Yi had a premonition in his heart that he could not hide in the remote Yanzhou forever, and sooner or later he would be involved in the complicated power struggle in the palace again...

Finally, Fang Yi and Xiao Rou set off on their journey in a carriage.

On the other side, Liu Congwu returned to his original place worriedly. Seeing the carriage going farther and farther away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that as the fight between the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince became increasingly intense, Kyoto would sooner or later undergo drastic changes.

Although he had already made up his mind to die for his king, he could never let go of his concern for Fang Yi.

Inside the carriage, Fang Yi's mood was completely different. He was filled with excitement and surprise, because what was in front of him was the mysterious list that Liu Congwu left for him.

The moment the list was revealed, Fang Yi deeply realized the far-reaching intentions of Emperor Taining and Liu Congwu - this was a list of criminals who were exiled to the border of Yanzhou by the court.

Most of these people were framed and exiled to the desolate Yanzhou for as long as thirty to fifty years because they spoke frankly and angered the powerful ministers of the third or sixth prince.

Fang Yi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Shangguan Ba ​​was so happy about his exile to Yanzhou at the Cold Food Luncheon. It turned out that this was his usual tactic.

It’s just that in the past he exiled criminals, but this time, it was the Marquis of Champion.

However, Shangguan Ba's calculation was wrong. He thought he was smart enough to send Fang Yi to Yanzhou and then he could rest easy.

In fact, if Fang Yi was really placed in the wealthy Huaizhou, which was full of corrupt scholars and unscrupulous businessmen, he would only live a mediocre life.

On the contrary, the barren Yanzhou provided Fang Yi with a stage for a Jedi counterattack and an opportunity to write an extraordinary chapter.

On this blacklist of Yanzhou exiles, there are warriors who can lift mountains and move tripods, generals who are both wise and brave, think tanks who are good at strategizing, bureaucrats who are good at governance, and all kinds of gifted geniuses.
