To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 159 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

No matter who comes to take over Pei County later and send the money back to the imperial court, the person who handles it will not leave much behind.In the future, Zhao Chao will have to spend money, and must hide the money as much as possible.

A boat had been arranged to wait there long ago. You Miao showed Li Zhifeng's token and was relieved after sending it out of the city.

In the early morning, You Miao was taking a nap in the side hall, and a soldier said respectfully: "Master Li has come into the city, Master You, do you want to talk to him, or continue to sleep?"

You Miao woke up in a jerk and yawned. Seeing Li Zhifeng sitting aside, she came back to her senses and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Half an hour ago." Li Zhifeng said: "Leave Pei County to the eldest brother, we can withdraw."

"Let's go." You Miao said: "All our people, go back to the villa."

You Miao's team is only cooperating, and Nie Dan is the main force, and they should not be overpowering. However, when they were about to leave, Nie Dan also came back.

"Twelve thousand enemies were wiped out, four thousand were captured, and four thousand escaped," Nie Dan said.

You Miao breathed a sigh of relief. The entire [-] Xianbei army was defeated in just such a battle. It was the emperor who blessed Tianqi, and Nie Dan asked again: "Where is the leader, General Walthorn? I want to ask a few words."

You Miao said: "It's in the backyard, it's being tied up."

Nie Dan went to the backyard without even drinking water. Li Yan came in again just after he left. Li Yan came in surrounded by a group of soldiers. When he came, he threw a letter to You Miao and said, "I thought it was I really want to negotiate a peace, but I didn't expect you to come up with this trick."

You Miao laughed, opened the letter, and saw that it was a peace negotiation document written by Sun Yu to Li Yan, but there was only one line on it: ——When General Nie's internal and external efforts are effective, he can enter the city to receive Pei County.

You Miao laughed loudly and said, "I didn't collude with my husband in this matter."

Li Yanpi smiled, "One of you is an old fox, and the other is a little fox. I won't talk to you anymore. Where is the warehouse?"

You Miao said lazily: "Ask Brother Nie, I don't know."

Li Yan went to look for Nie Dan, and as soon as he left, You Miao got up immediately and said to Li Zhifeng, "Get out!"

Then the two went out to gather soldiers, slipped away in an instant, and ran away.

The takeover of Pei County lasted for three full days. Nie Dan led the army to fight the most beautiful turnaround since returning to the south of the Yangtze River. The people of Yangzhou cheered and welcomed Nie Dan into the city.Li Zhifeng made great military achievements and was rewarded with 20 taels of gold.

20 taels of gold, You Miao just glanced at it, and threw it into the warehouse with a ding dong.

"How is today?" You Miao said.

"Everything has settled down." Li Zhifeng changed into a housekeeper's robe, and said, "Brother has done a great job, and now everyone is talking about going to the north."

It's easier said than done, You Miao thought, winning a battle and regaining the entire Central Plains are totally different.After Li Zhifeng finished speaking, he turned around and went out, You Miao said, "Where are you going?"

"I'll cook for you." Li Zhifeng went to cook and replied.

You Miao followed behind him and asked again, "Did you say anything else?"

Li Zhifeng: "The third brother said that the enthronement will be postponed for two days and changed to the fifth day of June."

Li Zhifeng said that Zhao Chaoshi always called "old three" and "old three". You Miao was not used to it, and reminded him: "You can't call that in the court, otherwise those ministers will eat you..."

Li Zhifeng: "Understood."

You Miao: "Did you say anything else?"

Li Zhifeng: "?"

Li Zhifeng washed his hands and started cooking, while Mrs. Qian and a few servants who were picking vegetables made room for him.

Li Zhifeng: "What aspect?"

You Miao hugged him from behind and lay on his back, while Li Zhifeng rolled up his sleeves to pick vegetables.

"Money." You Miao said tentatively.

Li Zhifeng: "No one knows that you stole the money from the Peixian warehouse, and they don't dare to ask if they know, so don't worry."

You Miao: "..."

Li Zhifeng laughed, and You Miao was very embarrassed, and asked, "How do you know?"

Li Zhifeng said happily: "Is there something new in the house, can I not know?"

You Miao suddenly found that Li Zhifeng was much happier recently. Seeing him happy, she was also very happy. After thinking about it, she asked, "Did you mention me, sir?"

Li Zhifeng shook his head.

A soldier came in from outside and asked, "Where is General Huwei?"

Mrs. Qian shouted, "The general is cooking!"

The soldier poked his head in and said, "General, Sir Lin of Yangzhou Bingfang invites you to the banquet."

"Not going." Li Zhifeng said: "Ask Mr. Huang if he will go."

The soldiers left, and Li Zhifeng remembered something that day, and said, "Will you go the day the third brother ascends the throne?"

You Miao said: "Forget it, I don't have an official position."

Li Zhifeng said: "When I came down today, Pingxi and the others were asking you if you would go."

You Miao hummed, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Have you mentioned me, sir?"

Li Zhifeng said: "No."

At the end of May, someone from Yangzhou came to borrow money again, this time it was Li Yan's former housekeeper.

You Miao knew that the Tang family where Li Yan's wife lived was also a big family. If You Miao didn't borrow the money, Li Yan would ask her father-in-law. The second housekeeper still followed Li Yan. It was You Miao who released the capital back then.But now knowing that You Miao is a celebrity in the imperial court, she dare not speak loudly.

"How much?" You Miao asked.

"Twenty thousand taels." The housekeeper replied respectfully, and stopped talking after finishing speaking. He stood in the corridor outside the hall with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and said nothing more quietly.

You Miao knew that Li Yan already knew the tricks she played secretly that day, so she couldn't say that she should share with him. After thinking about it for a long time, she said, "You take fifteen thousand silver, I'm almost gone."

The housekeeper thanked her, took out Li Yan's seal with her own hands, and issued the IOU. You Miao raised her eyes and asked, "The Tang family didn't pay, so take their lady back?"

The housekeeper shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "The Tang family doesn't want to pay the money, so let's just say it's gone."

You Miao was furious when she heard that, but it was hard to say so much about other people's family affairs, so she distributed the banknotes to him and kept the cash for herself.At sunset, Cheng Guangwu came to report again, this time it was news from Yangzhou City.

"Master." Cheng Guangwu stood on the ground, and took out a list from his sleeve. Inside was a notice to recruit students from the Zhengshitang. The full name of the Zhengshitang is Daguang Tianqi Shenzhizhengshitang. Disciples, ask the government to ask the people's wishes, and stop after the emperor Taizu won the world.

Now Zhao Chao has reopened again. On the sixth day of June, after the new emperor ascends the throne, a political council will be set up, and the best will be selected.

"Zhengshitang..." You Miao glanced at it, and was about to throw it aside, but suddenly felt strange, and asked, "Is there any news in the city? Who gave you this thing?"

Cheng Guangwu said respectfully: "The younger one saw the papers being distributed outside the yamen, and shouted that everyone who wanted to be an official would come, so he went to get the papers and showed them to the young master. The young master's husband is a political advisor, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about it." of."

With a thought in You Miao's mind, Sun Yu is a political adviser, also known as Zaifu, what does it mean to re-establish the political affairs hall?Promote newcomers for Zhao Chao?Earlier Pingxi said that there is still a post of chief secretary in the political affairs hall reserved for him, so if Sun Yu recruits people in, it will be the team led by him?

Forget it, we'll talk about it when Li Zhifeng comes back.
