Chapter 7 Indulgence
Ye Baiqi tidied up the desk for Li Yanchuan, sat next to him and carefully checked the names, and continued to trace according to Li Yanchuan's technique.

Qi Du stepped in and said, "Master Hou, Lord Wei is here."

Li Xunchuan raised his eyes, he asked Qi Du to invite someone for nearly half a month, and finally he was willing to come, he said: "How many people did you bring?"

"Hmm..." Qi Du lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't bring anyone with me, just him and a maid."

Ye Baiqi put down his pen, watched Li Xunchuan's face slowly contort, and hurriedly said: "Ah Xun, don't be angry, first ask someone to come in, and ask slowly."

Li Xunchuan threw the document out: "Call."

Supported by a maid, Wei Yin walked in slowly. He was wrapped in a dark blue cloak, and the front was embroidered with cloud patterns with gold thread. He half-covered his mouth and coughed.

Li Xunchuan looked at him coldly, knowing that he was fine a few days ago, he frowned and asked, "Master Wei, this is..."

Wei Yin pushed away the maid's hand, stood up straight, and said with a little helplessness, "Forgive me, the governor. Yesterday, His Majesty summoned me, but when I stepped down the steps, I didn't step on it properly, so I hurt my legs and feet."

"What a coincidence." Li Yanchuan said, "Didn't Mr. Wei say that there are still people in the household department a few days ago? Why did you come here in person today?"

Li Xunchuan should have felt that he was here to help, Wei Yin hurriedly explained: "The governor has misunderstood, well, things are cumbersome recently, and it is just the time for employing people, and the left side is pressing hard, so we can only come over there. I have no one under my command." Wei Yin sighed, "It's really helpless."

Yan Yingzhen and Xu Zheng were in charge of the six ministries. Although Yan Yingzhen was in charge of the third ministries of officials and households, after all, he had not discussed with Chu Shiyu about the prohibition of military affairs.What's more, Yan Yingzhen didn't even intend to help, Wei Yin dared to draw someone to the governor's mansion privately.

How could Li Xunchuan not understand, he silently pinched his robe, and laughed: "It's me who made things difficult for Mr. Wei."

Just as Ye Baiqi was about to speak, he heard Li Yanchuan continue in a muffled voice: "The people in the imperial army are all rough people, and they can't do the shrewd thing of sorting out the household registration. Master Wei wants to pick some people from my imperial army to enter your household Ministry?"

"This..." Wei Yin said.

"It's ok, anyway, I don't want more than 3 people. Which one do you like, tell me, and I'll let him move these paperwork and people to the household department, and just follow you in the future."

Ye Baiqi tugged at Li Xun Chuan's sleeve: "Ah Xun, this is the household servant after all, you must not do this."

"That's right, I'm just a rough guy. How can I compare with Mr. Hubu Shilang? In terms of words, I'm definitely inferior, but when it comes to coercion and temptation, I'm more than capable."

As he spoke, he picked up the saber that had been dormant by his side for a long time, stepped over to Wei Yin's side in three or two steps, and laid it across Wei Yin's neck, tilting his head in a wicked way: "Is it?"

Wei Yin froze, his face immediately turned pale, he stared tremblingly at the knife, sweat dripped down his cheeks immediately.

It is said that Li Xunchuan's sword becomes incomparably sharper by drinking blood and nourishing it. This is true. Since the champion Hou was 11 years old, he began to use this sword to protect Beili, eliminate evil, and calm turmoil, so he got an evil [1] ]’s name, on weekdays, how could this knife show up.

Wei Yin didn't dare to look at Li Yuchuan, so he simply hung his neck and said, "Even if the governor kills me, I can't help it!"

"Stubborn," Li Yuchuan sneered, and put the blade close to his neck. "Is it possible to escape like this? Wei Yin, I want you to do something, but you can only do it. Hang a third-rank official. I'll see who dares to attack you." I settle accounts?!"

"I am an imperial envoy!"

Li Xunchuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he kicked him. Wei Yin staggered, knocked over the table and chair, and coughed while clutching his chest.

"Since people refuse to come, I'll send these documents over." Li Yanchuan looked at Qi Du, "Go, send all these to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If it can't be completed within ten days, I don't mind using the knife!"

Wei Yin's eyes widened, and he moved back, not daring to make a sound.

"Take your master and get out!"

The charcoal was burning in the house, and the smoke from the steaming incense burner was lingering. Li Chengru was leaning on the couch with his eyes closed and resting his mind. The maroon robe wrapped him around him. Lu San knelt on the footrest, pinching his legs and feet for him. The comfortable Li Chengru straightened hum.

"San'er, put out the incense, it's hard to choke." Li Chengru said.

Lu San did as he was told, supported Li Chengru, and said, "Godfather, I heard that the governor beat Mr. Wei because of the household registration of the Imperial Army. Mr. Wei is still recuperating in the mansion, but His Majesty has no intention of blaming him. .”

"Your Majesty just turned a blind eye. Look at any of those ministers, how could Your Majesty be like this?" Li Chengru sat by the bed, and Lu San put on his shoes for him as soon as he could see. He said, "However, Li Yanchuan has now formed a relationship with Prime Minister Zuo. We don't need to do anything, just wait and see."

"Your Majesty spoils the governor so much, godfather, when can I work next to your majesty like you." Lu San smiled, "If I can be like the governor, and your majesty has given me grace, I will honor my godfather well , give godfather something delicious every day."

Li Chengru patted Lu San, the villain smiled, and Li Chengru also smiled: "The days are still long, listen to what your godfather said, and one day it will be true. Saner."

"Ok?"

"Don't look at what His Majesty didn't do to Li Yuchuan. If he is arrogant and domineering again, His Majesty will not spare him. Brother, after a long time, it is still necessary to be commensurate with the monarch and minister, stay away!"

Li Chengru signaled Lu San to change his clothes, squinting his eyes, it might be a good thing that Li Yanchuan came to Gaodu.

From Maoshi, Han Congzhong forced Zhuo Ran to stand up and squat. When it was cold, the Taifu wrapped his clothes tightly, frowned, and walked around Zhuo Ran a few times, seeing that her raised arms were trembling. He picked up the dead branch and knocked on it: "Persevere, spread your fingers."

Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and his hands were not abolished.Han Congzhong took a sip of wine, warmed up his body, and said, "You and your father and your brother must have practiced this before, why can't you hold on for this little time?"

Zhuo Ran felt very cold, but she was sweating from the heat. She didn't dare to say that the wound caused by this posture hurt, and she didn't dare to complain, so she obediently obeyed and loosened her fingers.

"Since you have chosen to escape, you will have to pay the price." Han Congzhong looked at Zhuo Ran, "If I ask you next, you must answer truthfully."

Zhuo Ran took a few quick breaths: "Yes."

"Did your father make enemies in the court?"

Zhuo Ran thought for a while, and said: "There is no clear enemy at all. This time, my father got into someone else's trap, so he was misunderstood to be in collusion with Gu Qiang. Not only the left minister, but also Liao Ze, Li Chengru, these Everyone is within the scope of the father's enemies."

"Yes." Han Congzhong agreed, "But Zhuo Ting is far away in Yongzhou, do you know why they set up a trap?"

"Because...because of the rights His Majesty gave them...the so-called checks and balances angered them."

Han Congzhong said: "Yes, Zhuo Ting is the general who protects the country, and this barrier is there to block it. If they want to do anything, they have to tear up this barrier first."

It was clear that Li Chengru and the Chu family rebelled against the emperor because they were dissatisfied with the emperor. Chu Shiyu had finally ascended the throne, and now they have started to mobilize the generals to protect the country. The purpose is not only the throne, but Zhuo Ran can't think of a second reason.

"Do you think Chu Shiyu won't take action?" Han Congzhong felt Xiaoxue's coldness, and raised his head, "The reason why the Champion Hou was left this time is to let him form a confrontation with the left and right, so that his position will be stable."

"Champion Hou?" Taking advantage of Han Congzhong's inattention, Zhuo Ran quietly lowered his hand a little, and said, "From Beili?"

Han Congzhong said: "It's the bastard who went to prison that day."

Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes, looked at the pain in her abdomen, she still vaguely had the panic and fear of that day, she said: "This person has a surly personality, I'm afraid he won't be willing to be a pawn."

"How can the evil wolf in Beili be so easily tamed? Chu Shiyu is trying to make fun of himself, but he can only gamble. Chu Shiyu has no brothers and no children. Except for the champion, he has no bargaining chips. It's better to bet on him wholeheartedly, and if you win, you will be able to sit firmly in the country."

Han Congzhong said: "What you have to do is to go out and go high."

***
The carriage was in a hurry, and the bronze bells on the eaves jingled, and they did not stop until they reached the prison.The coachman lifted the curtain: "Tianshi, here we are."

Tian Wuruo hurriedly got out of the carriage, today he changed into a large fish-white robe, and ran directly into the prison.

Fu Sisi heard the news and went out: "Tianshi?"

"Sisi, I have something to tell you."

Fu Sisi stepped back and said, "Is His Majesty trying to do something to Zhuo Ran?"

Tian Wuruo shook his head: "No. Your Majesty plans to have a military parade after the next year, and the place is chosen at the Lianyue Campus. This is the territory of the Tianzhou garrison, and it will be under the jurisdiction of Peng Ge. I'm afraid that you will send people from prison to help. "

Fu Sisi said: "We don't have any complaints between the prison and the Ministry of War. What are you worried about?"

"Of course you are not afraid of the prison, but since the Ministry of War is under the control of the right minister, the left minister will definitely do something. If he uses someone from your prison, you must remember to be careful."

There is still one month before the new year, and it is even farther away from the military parade time. Fu Sisi looked at the worried person in front of her and smiled: "I see, you can go back."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to lift up his robe a little, the ground of the imperial prison was not clean, it was full of blood, Fu Sisi pushed him to go out: "The road is slippery in snowy weather, be careful when you go back to the palace."

Ye Baiqi sighed, Li Xunchuan really sent the documents to the household department, the emperor didn't say anything when he knew about it, these few days have been leisurely, Li Xunchuan slept until noon, but Ye Baiqi grabbed his ear and pulled him up .

Li Xun hit Ye Baiqi with a pillow angrily: "Get out!"

"Wake up, let's go to the night market to eat." Ye Baiqi picked up the pillow and put it back, and said, "I have to take you to see some good things, so that you can relax."

The luckiest thing in winter is to be warm and fragrant, accompanied by delicious food and wine. Li Xunchuan is used to being an upright gentleman who just sits in his arms, but he just arrived at Huanlong Pavilion, and he is still a little uncomfortable.

These beauties were flamboyant, Ye Bai got up and was able to deal with them calmly, Li Xunchuan looked at these vulgar fans, almost spit out what he just ate.

Seeing this, Ye Baiqi persuaded him: "Ah Yu, you can't enjoy yourself even though you're here." He continued to push him a pot of wine, "Drink!"

Li Xunchuan inadvertently glanced at the five empty wine bottles on his left hand, smiled helplessly, took them and continued to drink: "You can enjoy it."

Although the first generation rushed to send the imperial decree to Beili, and named Li Yanchuan's brother-in-law Xiao Qijing as the commander of the Beili Iron Cavalry, and temporarily took over the jurisdiction of Beili on Li Yanchuan's behalf, but there was always a knot in Li Yanchuan's heart.

How could he not know Chu Shiyu's purpose of making him the governor of the imperial army, with the military power in his hands, let the left and right sides dare not make mistakes easily if they want to do something, this is a naked use.

But having said that, although Beili suffered heavy losses, it was ultimately for the sake of Dayu. In the eyes of others, there is nothing wrong with doing this. After all, the three states are lost and the treasury is empty. Li Xunchuan had no reason to complain.

He can't repay Fenghou's kindness, let him fly freely on the Beili Grassland, like a kite with a loose string, when the time comes, it's time to draw up the string.

You imprisoned Beili, you imprisoned yourself, you couldn't kill Zhuo Ran, you couldn't escape from the cage, Li Yanchuan, Li Yanchuan, you are living so chicly.

Ye Baiqi was already very drunk, Li Yuchuan knew that he was not feeling well, he was here, he was equivalent to a proton, and the emperor had not seen him for a long time, so he couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted, which was even more difficult.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why he got drunk.

Li Xunchuan brushed away those women who were trying to pour wine into Ye Baiqi's mouth, and pulled him up: "Jun'an, it's getting late, it's time to go back."

Ye Baiqi blushed, looked at Li Xunchuan with a smile: "Ah Xun, you look so good-looking."

Li Xunchuan stared at him: "What a ghost, if you say such nonsense again, I will throw you into the doghouse."

As soon as he got out of the room, Ye Baiqi couldn't help but want to vomit, he pushed Li Xunchuan away and ran to the side, happened to bump into a person, Ye Baiqi couldn't help it anymore, he vomited all over that person with a "wow".

Pitiful for the crimson brocade, all the dignitaries in Gaodu who can afford to wear this kind of material, Li Xunchuan hurriedly lifted Ye Baiqi away and protected him behind him.

"What are you doing..." the little guard behind the man shouted.

Li Xunchuan said: "This bastard is drunk, how much is the clothes, I will pay you for him."

"What are you? Can you afford to pay for your clothes?"

Seeing his appearance, Li Xunchuan also drank too much, and looked at the little guard: "Tell me, how much is it?"

"Grandma, don't you take me seriously? You are the young master of Zuoxiang!" The man became angry when he saw that Li Xunchuan ignored him, and shouted, "Where are you scoundrels, Huanyan Pavilion?" You can come too?"

The little guard was trembling, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, this is the governor."

"Governor?" The man pushed away the little guard, took a step forward, and looked at Li Yuchuan carefully, "Oh, Champion! What are you afraid of, ah?"

As he spoke, he pushed the little guard to the front: "You should also take a good look, what is a lost dog? Hahaha..."

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Ye Baiqi jumped up all of a sudden, swung his fist, pressed the man under him, and punched the man hard, "How dare a dog ride on my head?" , Lost dog? Hmph, I'm going to beat you all over the place today, and show you who is the dog!"

The little guard hurriedly stopped him: "No, no!"

The flower girls were frightened, and hurriedly invited the bustard to come.

This situation is really embarrassing, Li Xunchuan took a lot of effort to pull Ye Baiqi up, and threw a piece of silver to the little guard: "Drag your master back and take care of him!"

Carrying Ye Baiqi on his shoulders, he walked a few steps before he heard the old bustard say: "Yan Zhi, take him back to the room and ask the doctor to come over."

He watched several people carry him in, and the girl named Yanzhi blocked her nose with a handkerchief: "Mom, who is that person?"

The old bustard said: "You may not know it when you first came here, but this is the youngest son of Prime Minister Zuo, Yan Chengxuan."
