The wind and the moon are irrelevant

Chapter 105
The room was full of candlelight, and the two of them stared at each other for a whole stick of incense in this concubine-like gesture.Yin Gezhi's eyes were cold, and Fengyue's smile was gentle.

After a stick of incense, Yin Gezhi let go of her, and said, "That's good."

You can rest assured that it is really good!Fengyue took the tea and stuffed it in his hand, then obediently stood behind him and squeezed his shoulders.

Before drinking her tea, Yin Gezhi looked at the tea cover and asked softly: "Did you really see me often near Beixuanmen before?"

Fengyue nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, didn't the maidservant say that? You often go to the school ground outside Beixuanmen, and the maidservant always watches over you."

"Then, when you look at me, is there a guard of honor of 18 people behind me, or a guard of honor of six people?"

Dig a hole for her again?Fengyue narrowed her eyes, thought for a long time, and said, "It should belong to six people."

The First Prince Yin has never been ostentatious when he goes to the school grounds, so there must not be many people he brings with him without even thinking about it.Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, even if she guessed wrong, she could still say that she had a bad memory!
However, after hearing her answer, Yin Gezhi didn't say anything more.Fengyue thought, could it be that she was mistaken?
The third envoy was imprisoned, and many people in the court could not sleep well today. After dinner, An Shichong and Xu Huaizu even came to the envoy's mansion with their quilts in their arms.

"What?" Yin Gezhi squinted at them: "Want to come to sleep with me?"

"Master!" Xu Huaizu wailed: "Wu Guochao is in a mess. People from my family come and go. I don't even intend to let my disciple sleep well! Disciple can only come to your place, begging for a good night's sleep!"

An Shichong nodded with a sad expression on his face: "Master Yang has a lot of contacts with people in the court. The court has not yet reached a conclusion about the gold hidden in the mill cellar, but once Mr. Yang is arrested, he will inevitably be involved. I heard that Yi The general has already entered the palace, but he hasn't come out yet."

Sitting down on the soft couch in a leisurely manner, Yin Gezhi asked: "General Xu and An Guohou's residence are also involved?"

Slightly taken aback, An Shichong immediately frowned and shook his head: "Although my father is not considered a celebrity, he is also a person who does not love money and does not strive for profit. My apprentice has recently taken over the family's relationships. They are all gentlemen's friends, and there is no ill-gotten wealth in the account. .”

Xu Huaizu also shook his head: "Although my father has no ink in his stomach, the water is not broken. He doesn't accept congratulatory gifts during any festival, and even distributes festival money to his family."

"That's it." Yin Gezhi said: "You don't need to care about this matter."

"Master." Xu Huaizu curled his lips: "Disciples are considered to be officials now, and it is only natural to care about the affairs of the court. Besides, so much gold and silver in the cellar are mostly people's anointing. This kind of unreasonable matter, The disciples also want to wait for the result."

Fengyue reached out and handed them pastries, and said with a smile: "The two young masters are really the pillars of the country."

"Young lady." An Shichong pursed his lips: "Both me and Huaizu are too young to take on any great responsibilities. If the Wu Kingdom will fight against others in the future, we will at best be vanguards. .”

Hearing this, Yin Gezhi raised his head and glanced at him: "You think far ahead."

"It's not too far away." An Shichong pursed his lips suddenly with worry in his eyes, and asked after hesitating for a while, "Master thinks that the Wu Kingdom is considered strong among other countries?"

Yin Gezhi lowered his eyes, rubbed his fingers lightly on the teacup: "If you can live in a corner, it is enough to be called strong."

After the great victory over Wei State a year ago, no one in Wu State dared to attack Wu State. Even though the Great Song Dynasty was fighting south and north, and there was little friction with Wu State, they did not dare to seriously attack Wu State.From this point of view, Wu Guo is already very powerful.

"But." An Shichong frowned: "I feel that the country of Wu has been too comfortable this year. There have been no major battles, and there have been many losses in small battles. The court's official style is not correct. Many people have been exposed for corruption. They have swallowed so much gold and silver, it must be that the people are suffering day by day, and the soldiers are hard to keep warm. In the long run, the state of Wu may be destroyed in this comfort."

Xu Huaizu looked at him in surprise: "You think too much."

Fengyue lowered her eyes.

What An Shichong thought was right, this is the current situation of Wu.The battle between Wu State and Wei State lasted for several years. The strength and consumption of both sides were the same, and it was even said that Wei State was stronger.Wu Guosheng was only successful in his insidious means, breaking Guan Canghai of Wei State, and then stole Wei State's secrets from nowhere, which caught Wei State off guard, lost several cities in a row, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.

After winning, it is easy to be arrogant. In the eyes of the king of Wu and the people, they completely defeated Wei, and even brought back the proud prince of Wei as a hostage. Wishing to stop the war between the two countries is enough to prove that their Wu country is one of the best among the countries. Even if they fight a battle with Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to win.

With arrogance, chaos is bound to happen. If there is no external trouble, there will be internal troubles. Officials are corrupt, generals support soldiers, monarchs are arrogant and extravagant, and the people are in dire straits.If things go on like this, when the state of Wei regains its vitality, it will be the time when the state of Wu is in great trouble.

However, no one in the Wu court was aware of this. Even the most sober Prince Ye was only trying to curb the trend of corruption and did not alert the Wu people at all.

An Shichong thought about it, but unfortunately, he couldn't change anything.

Yin Gezhi looked at him with rare admiration, sat up straight and said, "If you think so, Wu Guo is not hopeless."

Xu Huaizu was taken aback: "Master still thinks Shi Chong is right?"

"Of course it is right." Yin Gezhi said: "The situation in the world is changing nowadays, and it is wise to be prepared for danger in times of peace. If the superiors can think like Shi Chong, then they will not sit back and watch the southern border be harassed by the Song Dynasty and ignore it. .”

His eyes lit up, An Shichong said: "Master also thinks that Wu Guo's attitude should be tougher?"

"Naturally, the state of Wei is already in decline. If there is no new opponent, the state of Wu will be depressed day by day in this comfort." Yin Gezhi said sincerely: "Instead of swallowing your anger and watching Wu's internal turmoil, it is better to create foreign troubles and worry about yourself." untie."

An Shichong nodded, Xu Huaizu frowned and thought for a while, and felt that it made sense: "Now that Wu Wei is repaired, if we can fight against Song Dynasty together, it may not be a bad thing. But now we can't control it. Once the third division envoy comes out , the imperial court will definitely suffer greatly."

It's quite debilitating, Fengyue thought with a smile, even if it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, it is enough to cause headaches.

Originally, General Yi's defeat was a trivial matter, but unfortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was filled with righteous indignation when he encountered the matter of the third envoy, and immediately attributed the reason for Yi Guoru's defeat to the excessive use of military funds and the lack of food and grass.

For this statement, Yi Guoru is very difficult to defend.If it is not a problem of food and grass, then it can only be his own problem. In comparison, it must be said that it is a problem of food and grass.

But in this way, the crime on Yang Fengpeng's head became even more serious. In his rage, the Holy Majesty ordered people to search the residence of the third envoy, clear up the accounts of the court over the years, and find out the source and whereabouts of the money.

Yi Guoru's face was so ugly that he went to see Yang Fengpeng in the death cell that night.

Yang Fengpeng was in a mess, he had already been tortured, his eyes lit up when he saw him: "General."

"Master Yang." With a painful expression, Yi Guoru said: "The old man has tried his best, but the crown prince put pressure on him, and it is really impossible to save you. We can only protect the incense of your Yang family and send it out of the capital tonight."

"Thank you, General!" Yang Fengpeng's eyes darkened slightly, but he still smiled and said, "You have a heart."

The purpose of being so intentional is naturally that he will not betray him.The matter has come to this point, Yang Fengpeng gave up struggling, he just wanted to protect his family, even if he died.

Looking at his expression carefully, General Yi said: "When Sir is on the road, I will definitely see you off."

"Thank you, General."

His family was already in his hands, even if Yang Fengpeng wanted to bite him back, he couldn't do it.Yi Guoru was very relieved, and he comforted him a few more words, and then he got out of the prison.

As soon as he left, An Shichong opened the cell door with his back foot.

"It's good to have a lot of relationships." Xu Huaizu sighed as he walked inside: "A place like death row can come and go freely."

An Shichong pursed his lips: "I have received the shade from my ancestors."

Ever since Lord Hou didn't take care of his affairs, people who had been on good terms with An Guohou's mansion often walked around with him. In many places, he was indeed very convenient.

Yin Gezhi walked in the front, followed by two women in cloaks.

On the way here, An Shichong watched Fengyue go to a courtyard to pick up someone. It was a girl, but he didn't know who it was. He only heard the girl call her "Master", and Fengyue covered her mouth with a smile. .

Xu Huaizu didn't pay attention to these carelessly, but An Shichong suddenly felt that Miss Fengyue was not simple.Among other things, if Master is willing to take her with her when she comes to this kind of place, then she must be sensible.

"arrive."

The fence gate that had just been closed was opened again, Yang Fengpeng was a little dazed, and raised his head half-deadly, but saw a face with pear blossoms and rain.

"Xiang'er!" Exclaimed, Yang Fengpeng pulled her behind him and looked at the other people beside him.

"Master Yang seems to have the consciousness to go on the road in silence." Stepping into the cell, Yin Gezhi said indifferently: "It's a pity that the family members are innocent, and they will be implicated to death by the adults."

"No...how did this happen?!" Yang Fengpeng shook his head, looked at Xiang'er behind him and said, "Didn't the general pick you up?"

Yu Hexiang burst into tears: "My lord, the young master is the only one picked up by General Yi. After all, he is only five years old and doesn't know anything. But the rest... If His Royal Highness Yin didn't save him, the slave family would have died !"

His body shook heavily, Yang Fengpeng looked at Yin Gezhi in disbelief.

The light outside was very weak, and Yin Gezhi's expression was hard to see, so he just whispered: "My lord is in death row, and I don't know anything about the outside world, so I should be deceived by others. I will see you off when I come down, and let me see you off." The adults see the family for the last time."

Yang Fengpeng's family wealth is hidden in the mill run by Yu Hexiang's younger brother. He has only been with this aunt for a year, and he is very kind to her. Apart from his son, she is the one he is most reluctant to part with.
