Chapter 182 Five Years of Chaowu

While Li Yanyi quickly removed Wei Tingxu's power on Wanxiang Road, he also dismantled the Tingwei Office that had existed since Emperor Jing, and established Dali Temple to be responsible for the central officials and crimes in the capital.Lin Qi was appointed Minister of Dali Temple.

This Lin Qi is the younger brother of the Da Si Nong Linquan clan in the early years of Shenchu. The Lin family and the Zuo family have been assisting Li Yanyi since she was still the eldest princess.Both Zuo Xu and Lin Quan were killed in the fight at the beginning, Li Yanyi named them after he became emperor, and has been placing people from these two families in important positions in the center.

Shangshu ordered Zuo Yun to act resolutely, Dali Temple was established quickly, and the former Ting Wei Guan Xun was transferred to Huaiyang County as the prefect of Huaiyang.

Guan Xun was born as a military commander. He made outstanding achievements in the battlefields, but he was transferred back from the front line because of his serious injuries.Now Li Yanyi wants to build a prison that is completely under his control, Guan Xun's closeness to Zhen Wenjun once made Li Yanyi suspicious, and he can no longer use it.It was a kindness to send him to Huaiyang and not take his life.

Huaiyang is located in Yunan, adjacent to Nanya. It is a hot mountain in four seasons. It is very inconvenient to get in and out of traffic, and it is even more remote than Nanya.The Wanxiang Road does not pass there, and the mountain road is extremely difficult, so even though this place is adjacent to Nanya, the development is still not good.

The prefect there had been changed several times and couldn't stay, so he tried every means to be transferred and leave.Now that Guan Xun has been assigned to Huaiyang by the emperor's order, it greatly relieves other people who may be transferred here.

Guan Xun fell from the high position of the second-rank Tingwei in the central center and became the prefect of the remote mountainous area in Yunan. This drop is like falling from the clouds into the mud.

The Dragon Boat Festival is about to enter. In previous years, there was an endless stream of people giving gifts at festivals. Although I knew that this Guan Tingwei was Curling Qiuyue, he would never accept gifts from anyone, but it was up to him whether to accept them or not. I still had to give them. .Even if the ceremony was turned away at the end, it is quite necessary to be able to get acquainted with Guan Tingwei.

The transfer document has not yet been issued, and the inside and outside of the Guanfu were deserted during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Jiang Wan held a glass of realgar wine in his hand and laughed haha: "Look, look, look, Guan Fengdian, you have been a court captain for so many years, and you have given the emperor many scapegoats and infamy, now you are no longer needed, so I will put you aside Once lost, even the family slaves ran away. These years, the salary is so small that you have to think twice about drinking a good drink. You will soon go to the remote southeast, and there is no one to see you off. You say that you are a court lieutenant? Yes, what do you mean?"

Guan Xun said: "Guan has fulfilled his duties in this position not because of extra salary, nor because of the pomp when he leaves."

"What is that for? Guan Fengdian, you said that all the heinous people were imprisoned in the imperial prison? Isn't it true that the emperor can punish whoever he wants? At the beginning, Emperor Jing set up the imperial prison to get rid of his royal brothers. , so that his throne can be stabilized. How ridiculous, the existence of the Tingwei Office is to torture and extract confessions, and the imperial prison is a place where people’s lives are ignored! The emperor’s grace is mighty, and the emperor will never make mistakes! For so many years, the imperial prison has been eradicated by the emperor The thorn in the side of the weapon, you are the bloody knife!"

Jiang Huan knocked the wine glass on the table, and it shattered with a bang.

Seeing him like this, Guan Xun was not annoyed, but smiled at him instead.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Wan was provoked by his sudden smile. You must know that Jiang Wan has known him for so many years, and it seems that he has never seen him smile.

"Why didn't you see off the pedestrians?" Guan Xun looked at him, "Aren't you still there?"

The transfer document came down, and Guang Shaoling sent it to the Guanfu in person.Li Yanyi urged him to leave tomorrow.

Jiang Wang wanted to say something, Guan Xun gave him a look, and he finally held back.After the men chasing the Moon Army left, Jiang Huang asked him:

"All the belongings have been distributed to the slaves. You gave the last carriage to Zhang Weng who went back to his hometown yesterday. Now the emperor is burning your ass to get you out of here. What do you use to get out? Just the last 30 taels. If you buy a carriage, what will you eat and drink along the way? Don’t starve to death on the road before reaching Huaiyang, that’s a big joke.”

Guan Xun has been working outside for so many years, and he doesn't pay attention to such small things: "Didn't you eat wild vegetables and sleep on trees when you and I fought side by side? Could it be that if you become an official, you will suffer from a delicate disease? Let's go." !"

Guan Xun slapped Jiang Fan on the back, almost sending Jiang Fan flying.

"I was really blind when I chose to stay in Runing and follow you. It's better to go back to my hometown to farm, so as not to fall into the current situation, hey..."

"Why, it's too late to regret it now."

"Farewell, I've been raised lazy by you, I can't farm land, so I can only follow you and let you raise me for the rest of my life."

……

The two walked out of Runing City with an empty burden on their backs, chatting and laughing. Behind them was the majestic and gloomy Runing City, and in front of them was the vast world and the brilliant sunset.Guan Xun glanced back at the city where he had lived for more than ten years, and after just one glance, he didn't feel nostalgia. He walked side by side with Jiang Huan towards the free world.

"Brother Fengdian, please stay!"

Someone was calling for Guan Xun. Guan Xun looked back and saw Zhen Wenjun rushing out of the city driving a carriage.

"General Zhen."

Zhen Wenjun jumped off the carriage, clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "It's a long journey to Huaiyang, what should I do without a carriage? This horse comes from northern Xinjiang, and it is a rare and good horse. The carriage is also strong and durable. Resist the bumps along the way. Brother Feng Dian's transfer to Huaiyang this time is because I was implicated..." Zhen Wenjun took out another heavy pocket full of silver, "I have important things to do and I can't send them away. Brother Feng Dian please accept my little thought."

Guan Xun was about to refuse, but Jiang Zhuang knew his personality too well, so he immediately stood in front of him and took the bag of money that was enough for them to spend for a whole year, and gratefully thanked Zhen Wenjun.

Zhen Wenjun gave them the carriage, and the two sides said goodbye.She kept watching the carriage move forward until it disappeared into the endless distance...

After Zhen Wenjun, Aqiong and others moved out of Ji Xuefu, Ah Xin moved in.

There are no domestic slaves in the mansion, and everything is done by her.

Ah Xin has been marching and fighting for many years, and she is used to taking care of herself, so she feels awkward when someone is watching her.

Li Yanyi gave her a talisman, allowing her to freely enter and leave the Forbidden Garden without an official position.Ah Xin knows that her current status is very special. Li Yanyi has always wanted to make her an official, but the situation is quite tense now. Need to raise 12 points of vigilance.

Ah Xin can understand Li Yanyi's difficulties, but she has no ambition to be an official.She has heard and seen too much of the intrigues in the officialdom since she was a child, not to mention how the Xie family was destroyed, it is impossible for her to forget.Even though she was prepared to lose her lover or relatives from the very beginning, she still couldn't convince herself to work for Mrs. Li.

Rebuilding the Moon Chasing Army, investigating the whereabouts of Ruan's Aqiong and rescuing her, settling down Ruan's mother and daughter... These things are for her only sister, and also for Li Yanyi.She remembered Li Yanyi's kindness to her when she was young, and she spent these years returning all the kindness to Li Yanyi. After making sure that Li Yanyi was safe, she would leave Runing and live in seclusion in a place where Li Yanyi could never find her again. .

Midsummer is approaching, and there are clusters of green shades in Jixue Academy.Ah Xin was sitting on the straw mat under the tree, holding a heavy bamboo scroll in her hand, frowning and drawing strokes on the bamboo scroll.She is not very young, but there are already two shallow marks between her eyebrows.

The tree shadows were mottled before her eyes, but she didn't realize it.

Some time ago, Ah Xin secretly counted the number of the Moon Chasing Army and the Central Army, and suddenly found that the total number of troops had decreased by [-] compared to the second year of Zhaowu.This reduction in the number is quite strange. Peaceful times are the time to reserve troops. In these years, except for the battle against the blue-wristed thieves, which can be regarded as the real dispatch of troops by the center, the rest are small uprisings, and not many people are lost at all. Why are there so many soldiers missing?There will be as many people as there are people who complete military service each year, and there will only be more and no less.

There must be problems.

She sent people from the moon chasing army to secretly investigate where the disappeared soldiers went.

It paid off a month later.

Ah Xin discovered that these armies directly under the Son of Heaven were sent to various places by Da Sima Weilun within two years to suppress uprisings in various places.But these uprisings are too small and have little influence. It is enough to be suppressed by the local princes, so why send soldiers from the center all the way?

Uncover the truth, shocking.

Every time a troop is dispatched, the Da Sima Mansion has a troop dispatch record. The troop dispatch book should have recorded the specific number of troops dispatched, related battles, and the remaining number of troops after returning to the court.However, in the records of the twelve dispatches of troops in the second year of Zhaowu, the number of dispatched troops is extremely vague.What makes Ah Xin even more angry is that it has been verified that the numerous wars in which troops were sent to suppress were forged.The spies went to the recorded war sites, but the local residents didn't know that there was a war here!

These are all fake attacks!

Sending out soldiers once will result in fewer people. On the surface, it seems that these disappearing armored soldiers died on the battlefield. It seems very reasonable, but when the curtain is lifted, it is the wolf ambition of the Wei family!

These soldiers were probably hidden by Wei Lun and trained to become soldiers of the Wei family, just waiting for the day of rebellion!

In the second year of Zhaowu, Li Yanyi hadn't doubted Wei's family yet, but when he wholeheartedly trusted and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, Wei Lun actually did such a thing behind his back...

When Ah Xin was heartbroken, suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the courtyard door, and then slammed into the door with a "bang".

Ah Xin quickly pulled out the sword she was carrying, and came to the door without a sound.

"elder sister……"

A weak voice came from outside the door, and Ah Xin naturally recognized that the voice belonged to Ah Wen.

Ah Xin opened the door a little, and after making sure there was no one outside, she took Ah Wen in.

"Why did you come back to Runing from Northern Xinjiang?" Ah Xin asked.

Ah Wen was dressed in rags and was completely a beggar. Her leg was sprained and swollen terribly. She was half-starved to death, but when she saw Ah Xin, she regained some strength and smiled foolishly:

"Is that why my sister doesn't want to see me? I risked my life to find you! I lived and slept in the open all the way, and those who didn't know really thought I was a beggar!"

Ah Xin was not infected by her excitement, and asked in place:

"How do you know I live here?"

Ah Wen's smile disappeared instantly, and the two looked at each other.

Li Yanyi is very happy today.

Wei Tingxu was kicked out of Wanxiang Road, and from then on, Bo Lan took full responsibility for the continued development of this trade corridor.The Bo family, the Zuo family, and the Lin family are the three major families that she can reuse.With the three major families in the front and the Geng family and clan as the backing, Li Yanyi's anxiety over the years has finally eased a bit.

Although Gengbai had a bad brain for a while, fortunately it stopped after beating.Li Yanyi can't give the Geng family too much power, but he must bind the Geng family with himself.Once the Wei family and the Changsun family attack, the Geng family will also be a big force.

As for the clan Li family, it is the one that Li Yanyi least wants to use.

How she killed Li Ju and snatched his throne as the eldest princess, she knew very well in her heart.Therefore, she is very afraid of the remaining princes of the Li family, and must not give them a chance to gain power.But if the Wei family and the Changsun family wanted to make trouble, the Li family would still stand on the front line with him.Counting from the inside out, the odds of winning the Wei family, whose patriarch is about to die, are not high.

After pushing down the Wei family, Li Yanyi was in a good mood, and found another opportunity to pretend to be the son of the family, and slipped out of the Forbidden Garden with two Moon Chasing Army soldiers.

She couldn't remember the last time she left the Forbidden Garden. As the Son of Heaven, no matter where she went, it was very complicated, and she was always accompanied by a large group of guards, which made her uncomfortable.When she was still the eldest princess, she had traveled all over half of Dayu, but now she was trapped in the small forbidden garden with difficulty, suffering from pain in her waist and legs.

Today she made up her mind to go out for a walk, she didn't tell Ah Xin, she wanted to surprise her.

"How do you know I live here?"

Ah Xin asked Ah Wen expressionlessly, and Ah Wen felt the coldness between her words, and the excitement just now was swept away.

"It took me a long time to inquire about this place in Runing City. The previous mansions of Xie's family were sealed off, so I came to have a look. Can my sister let me eat first? Haven't eaten for days."

Ah Xin was silent for a moment, then walked into the room and handed two pieces of cake to Ah Wen.Ah Wen held the cake and bit it crazily, as if he wanted to kill his enemy with his own mouth.

"Let's go after eating." Ah Xin gave her a bag of silver.

Ah Wen quickly finished the cake and returned the money.

"I have nowhere to go. Sister, just let me serve you by your side, just be a little house slave, or something else, I can do anything. Don't let me leave you." Ah Wen is like a hunting dog. After traveling thousands of miles, I finally found the owner's puppy. Unexpectedly, the owner didn't want her at all, so he could only wag his tail in frustration and whimper a few times, hoping that the owner would show mercy and take her in.

"I don't need a house slave." I didn't expect the "Master" to be so heartless, "It's very dangerous in Runing, and you may lose your life at any time. You go in and take a bath and change your clothes, take the money and go."

"sister……"

Ah Xin stopped looking at her, went into the room and threw out a set of clothes and closed the door again.

Ah Wen wiped away his tears, and carried his clothes to the pool to wash off the dirt.
