Cao Qingyan's sudden change in expression made Li Yi more and more interested, "Cao Aiqing, do you know him?"
"Your Majesty, you know it, even if it turns into ashes."
After hearing what Cao Qingyan said, Li Yi became even more interested. I'm afraid there might be a story in it.
Cao Qingyan also heard the connotation of Li Yi's words, quickly moved to Li Yi's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this old eunuch is the writing eunuch beside the late emperor, and he is a member of King Fu's lineage."
"The late emperor was afraid that someone would cause trouble in the palace and affect His Majesty's succession to the throne. Before his death, the late Emperor drove all the people from King Fu's lineage out of the palace, including this old eunuch."
"I didn't expect that this old eunuch is still alive. He must still be with King Fu."
"But when did King Fu get involved with Young Master Yan?"
Li Yi's expression was grim. Even though he didn't know many of the inside stories, he knew that Prince Fu was his half-brother and his rival for the throne back then, relying on the missing memories in his mind.
Although he was later defeated and returned to his fiefdom, becoming a free prince, his strength should not be underestimated.
However, in this memory, there is still a woman's figure, looming, but unfortunately her appearance cannot be clearly seen.
"Old slave Liu Jin, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
The old eunuch knelt down respectfully, his forehead touching the ground, showing great respect. When he raised his head, his eyes narrowed to a slit, as if it took a lot of effort to open them, and his pupils were completely dull.
But the calmness in his bones made people dare not look down upon him.
Cao Fengyang and others glanced at him and then looked at Li Yi. This old man represented Young Master Yan. They were afraid that His Majesty would hit someone again when his temper got worse.
It's just that this old man is so thin that he can withstand a few punches from His Majesty, but he will be disabled immediately.
There was silence for a long time.
Li Yi raised his hand and did not hit or curse anyone. Instead, he smiled and said, "Oh, are you sent here by Mr. Yan?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Liu Jin looked kind.
"It's good that you're here. I want to ask you why Young Master Yan doesn't enter the palace by himself. What does this mean?"
The smile was playful and the eyes were cold.
Liu Jin raised her head and took a peek at Li Yi. The calmness she had just now disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by panic.
"What...what's going on?"
Liu Jin had gone through three dynasties, served two generations of emperors, and could write a book about his life experiences, but he had never been so out of character like today.
Moreover, he has read countless people, and he can tell what kind of people they are at a glance.
As for the virtues of today's emperor, he knows best. He watched Li Yi grow up step by step and finally set foot on the throne.
But just now, he suddenly discovered that the emperor seemed to be a different person.
His Majesty's appearance has not changed much, but he is full of arrogance and domineering, and there is a faint sense of extraordinary aura.
And it's definitely not pretending, it's revealed from the bottom of one's heart.
Why did His Majesty suddenly change?
In the past, His Majesty was a complete playboy who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. How could he become so powerful?
Li Yi's tone turned cold, "Reply me!"
Liu Jin was stunned and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan suffered from cold yesterday and was frightened by the news of the rebellion. He is bedridden."
"Although the young master is not feeling well, he is very worried about His Majesty's safety, so he sent an old slave to pay his respects to Your Majesty. By the way..."
Li Yi frowned and interrupted him, "By the way, let's see if I'm dead?"
This old dog is quite good at playing!
Do you want to use these few words to push Mr. Yan to the moral high ground so that I can't accuse him?
Don’t even think about it. Do you think I am Hina?
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to pull out Mr. Yan's fault. How could I allow you to cause trouble?
But, it’s so disgusting!
Although I have never met Mr. Yan, I know that this bitch is definitely a bad guy. He is still worried about me. I am worried that I will not die and I will come back to settle the score with him.
"Your Majesty, please be aware that the young master has no such intention. Who is this person who is gossiping in your majesty's ears? He deserves the punishment of being cut to pieces with a thousand knives!" Liu Jin lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Oh, is it so?"
"I'm very good, but Master Yan, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" He deliberately sneered.
Sure enough, Liu Jin's calm old face suddenly shook and he choked on the spot.
nonsense!
Can you fall asleep?
The Ning family brothers rebelled and were wiped out. The soldiers and horses in the four cities were killed and reduced. The losses were unprecedented. In the end, they helped Li Yi win over people's hearts and brought Li Yi closer to a new level of strength.
But he still pretended to be fine and replied with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan really stayed up all night. He was always thinking about your Majesty's safety. Unfortunately, he was ill and couldn't get up."
Li Yi snorted coldly. He was indeed an old fox. He spoke impeccably and pushed Mr. Yan to the moral high ground with every word.
As expected of an old eunuch in the palace, he was really not that simple. No wonder the late emperor kicked him out of the palace, presumably because he was afraid that something would happen to him.
"I am very pleased that Mr. Yan is interested. When I return to the mansion, I will bring some of the palace doctors with me. I will definitely go and see him!" The last few words were said in a serious tone.
Liu Jin's expression did not change as he bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for Mr. Yan."
Li Yi raised his hand and waved him away.
But at the same time, Li Yi noticed something different. Mr. Yan was actually just a chess piece!
Could it be that the one who really controls all of this is his half-brother, Prince Fu?
This short sentence once again caused an uproar in the newly calm government and opposition parties.
This time, Mr. Yan suffered heavy losses and almost lost all his strength. The next step must be a face-to-face confrontation, and Li Yi should crush him with his absolute strength.
With the arrival of Liu Jin, things suddenly became subtle.
They say they want to clear Mr. Yan's suspicions, but actually there's a different flavor inside.
It seemed to be warning Li Yi.
Whether or not, King Fu was personally involved.
King Fu no longer wanted to be a promoter from behind, but ran directly to the stage.
When the Manchu civil and military forces retreated, Li Yi was still sitting on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall and did not leave for a long time.
The hall was quiet except for the sound of even breathing.
"Cao Qingyan, let Sun Tingzong and Cao Fengyang come back."
Not long after, the two people who had just left ran back again without stopping.
"I can't wait!"
"I have a hunch that in the near future, a huge conspiracy is sweeping towards us. All we have to do is prepare in advance."
Li Yi looked at Sun Tingzong and said: "Master Sun, you are responsible for recruiting troops. What I want is fast, fast and good. I want to build a new army and establish a truly invincible army."
"Cao Fengyang, you are in charge of the martial arts competition. There is only one thing. What I want are real talents, not the children of some aristocratic families or the nobles. Anyone who dares to do any small tricks secretly will be killed without mercy!"
"As well as the aftermath of this mutiny and the payment of pensions, we must seize the time."
"No!" The two of them stepped back together and left quickly.
Just walking out of the Jinluan Palace, Cao Fengyang and Sun Tingzong both breathed a sigh of relief. Now in front of His Majesty, they are always on tenterhooks for fear of offending His Majesty. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. They truly realized this today.
"Teacher, that's great. Your Majesty is looking for talents in an eclectic way. I believe you will be able to recruit a large number of useful talents soon."
"Yes, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this martial arts examination. This is to prepare for the civil service examination. Just wait and see, the scholars of our Gale Dynasty have ushered in a real spring."
"What the teacher said is absolutely true. Scholars in the world finally have the opportunity to serve the imperial court."
"I am very pleased. Once upon a time, His Majesty became so powerful. In just a few days, he wiped out the government and the public. Especially the layout of yesterday's counterinsurgency was extremely exquisite and interlocking. It was simply an incomparable plan. Solution."
"Hahaha, the sky will not destroy my strong wind!"
"..."
After the morning court, Li Yi did not return to the palace, but went to the Forbidden Army camp. The bravery of the Imperial Army yesterday was also amazing.
He insisted on fighting the rebels and refused to retreat, which was really worthy of a big reward.
This time he was recruiting troops, and he also had plans to expand the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army was the emperor's personal guard and had a heavy responsibility. Naturally, it was necessary to expand the number of men and horses, and the number of soldiers should be ten thousand.
There is also the Beijing Camp. Ma Chen has also made great achievements this time. From now on, the commanders of the Forbidden Army and the Beijing Camp will be none other than these two.
Since the Forbidden Army has expanded to 10,000 people, the Beijing camp cannot favor one over the other, and of course it must expand.
Li Yi was inspecting the Forbidden Army camp. Suddenly, the Forbidden Army came to report and said a few words in Cao Qingyan's ear.
Cao Qingyan's expression changed and he said a few words in Li Yi's ear.
Li Yi's face also changed drastically, "What, she...why did she come to see me?"
Cao Qingyan chuckled, "Your Majesty, it's really her."
Li Yi dropped everything and ran towards the entrance of the palace quickly, not even caring about his image.
