Chongxi [rebirth]

Li Fengqi led the horse, and returned to the Dudu's Mansion with Ye Yunting.

Along the way, many people visited curiously, waiting for someone to pass by, and couldn't help whispering to each other.

"The lord treats the concubine so well, that dead ghost of my family has never even given me a cow." This is envy.

"Who says it's not? I heard that today's big and small things are decided by the princess. But this is also the ability of the princess."

"Really? Isn't the lord the one..." Someone showed a teasing smile after hearing this, and lowered his voice before saying those two words: "... Fear of internal affairs?"

Everyone heard the words and looked at the figure walking away, thinking that even the fierce King Yong'an would be afraid of guilt, so they all laughed and laughed.

Naturally, Li Fengqi didn't know that his reputation of fear of internal affairs had spread among the common people. As soon as he and Ye Yunting arrived at the Dudu's mansion, they saw Zhu Lie, Jiang Shu and others coming to greet him. Obviously, they had just heard about Yang Buwei and came to inquire. of the situation.

"Let's go in and we'll talk." Ye Yunting got off his horse and went in side by side with Li Fengqi.

After entering the hall, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "You can ask whatever you want."

The reason why he returned to the Dudu Mansion was because he thought that there were many officials and generals who had good friends with Yang Buwei in the past. Now the public trial can give the people an explanation, but many officials and generals in this city still don't know the inside story. It will leave a grudge in the future, and this matter must be explained clearly to them.

"What's going on with Yang Buwei?" Zhu Lie was the first to speak. Just before the accident, the princess was still discussing with him about the resettlement of the refugees.

Why did he just go out, Yang Buwei not only collude with the Yin family, but also want to kill the princess?

Although he always knew that Yang Buwei and the concubine had some conflicts, he didn't expect that these things would be involved later.Yang Buwei is a military adviser. Although we didn't go to the battlefield with them very often, but when the situation was difficult in the past, we were also life-saving friends.

Jiang Shu was also puzzled: "How could Yang Buwei betray the prince?"

Although the rest of the generals did not speak, they all looked puzzled.Having known Yang Buwei for so many years, they never wanted to believe that Yang Buwei would collude with the party and betray Northern Xinjiang.

Such a situation was expected, Ye Yunting omitted the events in the dream, and told them what Yang Buwei had done recently.

From Hei Jiu's infiltration into Weizhou, to Yang Buwei's connection with Hei Jiu, several conspiracies have failed.

He lied a little, and hid the reason why he discovered Yang Buwei's strange intentions: "The dark guard originally noticed Hei Jiu who had sneaked in. I didn't know the purpose of Hei Jiu's infiltration, so I kept ordering people to watch secretly, but I didn't expect Yang Buwei will be found to be a traitor."

After hearing this, several generals looked at each other for a while, and sighed.

But? After all, no one pleaded for Yang Buwei's mercy, friendship is friendship, and they can still make it clear with the hard evidence.

Li Fengqi couldn't see how many people looked like this, but he thought that Yang Buwei had no chance to harm the Xuanjia Army in this life, so the generals would care about the old relationship, so they hated to drive them away: "If you still care about the old relationship, wait until Shen Shi Just going to give it away."

He didn't have the kindness to send Yang Buwei off, but now that Yang Buwei is a prisoner, the resentment in his heart will definitely be vented undisguisedly. He asked some generals to take a look, and let them know Yang Buwei's true face, so as not to I will leave a knot in my heart in the future.

Hearing this, the generals hesitated for a while, but agreed to come down.

After a few people had left, Ye Yunting couldn't help yawning. He had been dealing with the affairs of the outer city all morning, and he was fighting with Yang Buwei. He didn't have time to eat lunch, and he didn't have a lunch break. Let's relax? Then I feel tired.

Seeing this, Li Fengqi said: "There is still an hour before Shen Shi, I will ask the servants to set up a meal, you will sleep after eating?"

Ye Yunting thought about it for a while, but shook his head: "Let's set the meal first, forget about the lunch break, and I'll wash my face later. The affairs in the outer city have not subsided yet, so I have to come up with the regulations as soon as possible."

Seeing him like this, Li Fengqi had no choice but to order someone to prepare a meal first.

After eating, the servants removed the bowls and chopsticks, Ye Yunting yawned again, ready to wash his face.

As soon as he got up, Li Fengqi grabbed his hand, and he pulled him to the small couch by the window and sat down? "If you're sleepy, take a rest."

The speaker had a straight face, looking very unhappy.It looked like if Ye Yunting was disobedient, he would do it himself.

"..." He had no choice but to loosen his outer clothes, lay down on the couch, raised his head and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Li Fengqi tucked up the quilt for him, brought over the booklet that Ye Yunting used to record his thoughts, and said, "I watched you sleep." After finishing the sentence, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "My spiritual head is like you Three or four rounds are enough, no need? Lunch break."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Yunting meaningfully, as if he was waiting for Ye Yunting not to sleep, so he would have an excuse to suppress Yunyu.

Ye Yunting: "..."

Probably already used to Li Fengqi's thick skin and his strong demands on this matter, Ye Yunting closed his eyes expressionlessly and said, "I'm asleep."

After speaking, he really ignored Li Fengqi.

Li Fengqi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and took the opportunity to kiss him lightly on the forehead, which made the eyelashes of the person below tremble slightly, before he said with a low smile: "Go to sleep, I will call you when the time comes."

***

Watching the time, Li Fengqi called him up at Shen Shichu.

Probably because he had expended too much energy, Ye Yunting fell into a deep sleep, and when Li Fengqi woke him up, he was still a little dazed and couldn't open his eyes.

Li Fengqi fetched the outer clothes and put them on for him.Seeing that he was still looking sleepy, he went to twist the warm handkerchief to wipe his face again: "You still want to sleep? Do you want to? If you don't, then don't go. It doesn't matter if I go alone."

"No, I have to go and have a look." Ye Yunting patted his cheeks, opened his eyes wide, and pulled himself together: "Let's go, let's go together."

Seeing this, Li Fengqi shook his head helplessly, and could only follow him out.

When I got outside, I was blown by the cold wind, and the remaining drowsiness disappeared without a trace.

When the two arrived at the square in the outer city, there was already a sea of ​​people, surrounded by people who came to hear the trial.

Yang Buwei and several others were all tied up and kneeling in the center, spurned by all the people.

Cao Yiren had already arrived first, and he was in charge of the outer city affairs. At this time, the public trial was naturally entrusted to him. Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi sat down on the left side to listen.In addition to them, all the generals who had some friendship with Yang Buwei came.

As the two appeared, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Yang Buwei, who was originally expressionless, struggled to turn around when he heard the names of the two, and shouted loudly: "My lord! I don't accept it!"

Li Fengqi's expression was slightly cold: "Are you not convinced? You personally admitted that you colluded with the rebellious party, and you still want? How do you argue?"

"Yes, I colluded with the Yin family, but? That was not my intention. I was forced to do nothing!" Yang Buwei glanced at the generals present, as if grasping at the last straw: "All these years , I have devoted myself to Northern Xinjiang, and I have lived and died with the prince several times. There is hard work without credit, but the prince wants to let the princess take my place because of selfishness!"

He counted Li Fengqi's neglect of him since Ye Yunting arrived in Northern Xinjiang: "The prince is unfair, how can I bear it?! If I hadn't been squeezed out and suppressed again and again, why would I go to the Yin family?!"

"That's why I don't accept it! It's true that I colluded with the Yin family, but? That's forced and helpless! It's a big taboo to use cronyism, so the prince is not wrong at all?"

Yang Buwei's voice was hoarse and exhausted, crying blood every word.Although he was full of nonsense, he acted as if he was the innocent person.

If Li Fengqi was involved by his crooked reasoning, his reputation as a nepotism would not be able to escape in the future, and even Ye Yunting's reputation would be affected, and his hard work these days would be wiped out.

But how could Li Fengqi let him succeed?

His eyes were slightly cold, he patted Ye Yunting who was about to refute reassuringly, got up and walked towards Yang Buwei: "Do you think this king wants the princess to take your place?"

Yang Buwei stiffened his neck: "Isn't it? The prince is paving the way for the princess everywhere, and I'm just a stepping stone for the princess." After he finished speaking, he looked at the others maliciously: "Today is me, and tomorrow may be Everyone else here."

However, Li Fengqi sneered, glanced at the different faces of the people, and said slowly: "Before the princess arrived in Weizhou, she cooperated with me inside and out and took away the gold mine of the Yin family; , in order to cooperate with my strategy of destroying Xihuang, regardless of my own safety, I tried to set up a field outside the city, and in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, I took the lead and knelt down for a whole day and night. He retreated, but there were still refugees in the city who suffered from the snowstorm. He opened a garment workshop with his own money to take in the refugees. The two batches of winter clothes that he rushed out were supplied to the army, but he did not receive a single copper coin. And now the outer city The construction...everything is done with the help of the princess."

He lowered his eyes and looked at Yang Buwei: "Do you think this is blocking your way? Is this king intending to let the princess take your place?"

"Why does the lord pretend to be ignorant? The wangfei has no official position, so logically she can't be an official. What she's doing now, isn't it all supported by the lord?" Yang Buwei gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

Li Fengqi snorted when he heard the words, and looked contemptuous: "Zhu Lie, tell me, if the concubine's achievements are rewarded in terms of merit, how should I be rewarded?"

Unexpectedly being named, Zhu Lie thought for a moment and said: "This is all great merit. According to the military regulations, if an ordinary young general with no ? , there should also be some salary, silver rewards, etc.”

Li Fengqi nodded and looked at the crowd: "But? The concubine has made these great achievements, but she has never received half a reward."

There is no promotion, let alone silver rewards.Even posted a lot of money.

"Is this what you said, blocking your way?" Li Fengqi looked at him coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "If it were you, could you use the excuse that I don't distinguish between rewards and punishments and colluded with the party?"

Yang Buwei's lips trembled, and his face suddenly turned pale.

What Li Fengqi said, he was unable to refute it.

However, Li Fengqi didn't stop there: "If you have the heart of disobedience, no matter what this king does, you can find excuses to betray him. What's more, if you are dissatisfied with what this king has done, you can speak up, why do you want to kill someone with a backstab?" , and even dragged innocent refugees into the water?"

He mercilessly pierced Yang Buwei's mask: "These are just excuses you made for your own selfishness."

The whole body seemed to be stripped open and baked under the scorching sun, Yang Buwei's expression was ashen and defeated, and he could no longer complain as much as before.

The generals who were on good terms with him at the scene originally heard what he said, and felt a little bit sorry for him, thinking that Yang Buwei just got into a corner and went astray.But now, after hearing Li Fengqi's words and thinking about what Yang Buwei did, his complexion gradually changed.

The prince was right.

If Yang Buwei feels unfair, he can argue with the prince.The prince has never been the kind of person who can't listen to harsh words,

Then there is rebellion and rebellion, but Yang Buwei's method is really low? In order to surrender to the Yin family, he deliberately provoked a fight among the exiles, causing so many casualties.He has grievances, but what is wrong with the refugees?

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than his own selfishness.

After being reminded by the prince, they realized what the princess had done to Beijiang these days.

But if those things are done by them, the prince will never be rewarded. In the final analysis, it is just because the princess and the prince are a family and have a deep relationship, so they don't ask for rewards, and they work hard only for the northern border. The people in Xinjiang are only seeking well-being.

Since there is no reward, how can there be any way to block or pave the way.

Instead, they should be grateful for the contribution made by the princess.

Several generals had complicated thoughts, but they didn't speak rashly because they were still in the public trial.And the people who came to hear the trial were not as many as them? They were scruples, and they all spat at Yang Buwei, cursing harshly.

They don't understand complicated things, but they can understand that the princess has done so much? It's a good thing, but there is no reward at all. This is obviously a big loss.If it were them, they wouldn't do such stupid things!

But this Yang Buwei still beats up and slanders the princess, he is really shameless!

The people watching the trial were enraged for a while, and they picked up the gravel on the ground and threw them at Yang Buwei.

Yang Buwei lowered his head, his heart was full of unwillingness, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no chance of turning things around. He looked dejected, and Li Fengqi's words echoed over and over again in his mind, thinking that if he was not so impatient, he might be more cautious , it will not become what it is today...

But no matter what he thinks, the matter is a foregone conclusion and there is no way to change it.

Under great regret and unwillingness, Yang Buwei was pushed to the ground, and the executioner behind him raised the butcher's knife high, and fell down in an instant...

In front of everyone, Yang Buwei, the three dead soldiers, and the four murdered refugees were executed together.The corpses of several people were ignored, and finally they were hastily collected by the soldiers and thrown to the mass graves outside the city.

After this incident, King Yong'an and Princess Yong'an became even more popular among the common people, and the generals who originally came to see Yang Buwei off, more or less understood the reason why the prince specially asked them to "see him off". I guessed the little thoughts they didn't say.

Except for Zhu Lie and Jiang Shu, the others looked at me and at you, and finally approached hesitantly, arched their hands towards Ye Yunting, and said with shame on their faces: "The princess has worked hard for the northern border. In the future, we will wait for anyone who is useful. At your disposal."

The military commander has a straightforward temper. Although he is a little cautious, he is quick to admit his mistakes.Ye Yunting didn't take it to heart either, and bowed his hands when he heard the words and returned a salute: "Then I'll thank you first, and I won't be polite to you in the future."

Seeing that his face had no grudges, several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.I wanted to exchange some pleasantries with the princess, but I couldn't talk properly with the prince's cold eyes, so I could only find an excuse and ran away.
