When the decree of Zhao'an and Li Feiyu's conditions came to Pingliang County along with the news of Wang Hao's death, Zhou Yi was not happy because he got 3,000 military personnel for nothing.
The news of Wang Hao's death made Zhou Yi wake up instantly. He was in a feudal dynasty.
Anyone's life could rise or fall with the emperor's words.
Wang Hao was beaten to death by the emperor Li Xuanji for just a few words of advice.
The predecessor of Zhouyi, Tanhua, was also ordered by the Dog Emperor to be punished fifty times with a cane, and finally drove Hexi to the west.
If Zhou Yi hadn't traveled through time, the body that occupied the magpie's nest would have been buried in the ground.
The words "Princes and generals are willing to be in peace" once again firmly appeared in Zhou Yi's mind.
Staring at the letter sent from the capital, Zhou Yi secretly made up his mind: "Now my strength is still not good enough. I can't break the earth to become a king and compete with the imperial court. But I must become stronger. I don't want to be beaten by the Dog Emperor again." Hit 50 big boards and end up burping!"
Zhou Yi immediately wrote a memorial in reply to the court. He first exaggerated and praised Li Xuanji's mighty sage, and then said that Li Feiyu was intimidated by the emperor Longwei. He was convinced and had accepted the conditions for recruitment and was ready to disband some of the bandits. The remaining three thousand Jingzhuang is incorporated into the military policy.
In addition to the memorial, Zhou Yi also reported the bloody Li character flag together with the memorial, proving that he had successfully recruited Li Feiyu.
After the Dog Emperor Li Xuanji saw the memorial in the Zhouyi, he was touted by the first half of the article in the Zhouyi as being completely comfortable. The immortal emperor in the memorial made Li Xuanji even more ecstatic.
After learning that Zhou Yi had successfully persuaded Li Feiyu to surrender, Li Xuanji was even more happy and showed off the bloody "Li" flag directly in front of the crowd of attackers in the court.
"Look, all ministers, I have known for a long time that the leader of the bandits, Li Feiyu, has long wanted to surrender. Now that he is frightened by my dragon power, he has indeed dismissed some of the bandits and lowered their flags to surrender."
His Highness and his ministers have long known that His Majesty the Emperor is very pleased with his achievements and does not like others to bring bad luck to him. Besides, Wang Hao just died not long ago. With such a clear "example" here, the ministers would not question it, and all of them praised him in a different way. With the emperor.
Now, on the contrary, officials such as Yan Song and the dog thief are not convinced that Zhou Yi can successfully recruit the evil thief Li Feiyu who has more than 5,000 troops under his command with his sharp tongue.
So Yan Kuan stood up again and said that there was something very fishy about Zhou Yi's successful recruitment of An Li Feiyu. He hoped that the emperor could send someone to investigate thoroughly.
Now Grand Master Wen and his party had grasped the opportunity to criticize Yan Kuan.
Hearing that Grand Master and his group of senior officials immediately stood up and retorted: "Sir Yan, you were the one who said last time that Li Feiyu had already intended to surrender, and this time it's you who said there was something fishy about the surrender."
"Now that the flag of the bandits has been lowered and presented before His Majesty's case, the facts have been revealed! Could it be that Lord Yan felt that His Majesty's mighty dragon was not enough to scare Xiao Xiao and made them lower the flag?"
Yan Kuan's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this fatal question.
Zhouyi's memorial mentioned that the success of this recruitment was all due to His Majesty's dragon power and contribution. No matter how Yan Kuan himself answered, it was a denial of Emperor Li Xuanji's dragon power.
The last person who denied Emperor Li Xuanji's judgment was killed not long ago after being scolded for more than twenty times. If Yan Kuan had not answered well, he would probably have followed in Wang Hao's footsteps.
Yan Kuan has been pampered since he was a child, and I'm afraid he won't be able to endure so many blows.
At this time, the treacherous Prime Minister Yan Song stood up and asked for punishment: "My son Yan Kuan does not know how high the heaven is and how high he is, and he talks about the power of God. I ask your majesty to kill him with a stick as a warning to others."
Yan Song's move was to retreat in order to advance. In addition, Emperor Li Xuanji was in a good mood today because of Li Feiyu's surrender. He thought he was the emperor of the ages, so he did not punish Yan Kuan.
"Dear dear friends, this time Zhou Tanhua successfully persuaded the bandit leader Li Feiyu to surrender, what official position do you think I should give him? And how should Li Feiyu be arranged?"
Yan Song immediately stood up and said: "Reporting to your majesty, Zhou Tanhua has been promoted to the third level not long ago. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone if we reward him in such a short period of time!"
"Besides, it was also written in Zhou Tanhua's memorial that the success in recruiting the leader of the thieves, Li Feiyu, was entirely due to His Majesty Long Wei. The credit for this should also go to His Majesty!"
Emperor Li Xuanji, who was so pleased with his achievements, nodded happily: "That's right, that's right! This credit should belong to me."
Li Xuanji thought of something again and said to Yan Kuan: "I have worked so hard and accomplished so much, so I should reward myself. Yan Kuan, you just offended the power of God, so I will punish you to go to Jiangnan to select 20 beauties for me to fill my harem."
This is not a punishment, this is clearly a reward. Yan Kuan immediately accepted the punishment happily without even thinking about it.
"Prime Minister Yan, how do you think Li Feiyu arranged it?"
"The magistrate of Pingjiang County, Ji Bochang, left his body without food, causing the people to be displaced and flee. Why not let Zhou Tanhua go to govern Pingjiang County, and let Li Feiyu take over Pingliang County, which Zhou Tanhua governs? Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
The reason why Yan Song did this was to give Zhou Yi eye drops.
Didn't Wang Hao, the imperial censor, report to Zhou Yi that the originally shabby Pingliang County was managed in an orderly manner? Then I, Yan Song, will let a bandit take your place to govern Pingliang County, and gradually destroy the county that Zhou Yi spent so much effort to manage. Lose.
At the same time, if Li Feiyu is allowed to dominate Pingliang County by himself, maybe Li Feiyu will cause some trouble, and Yan Song and his party can take this opportunity to attack Zhou Yi.
But what Yan Song didn't know was that his operation was clearly giving Zhou Yi territory and people.
In order to disgust Zhou Yi, Yan Kuan, Yan Song's son, even secretly informed the Yongzhou territorial government office of Li Feiyu's recruitment intention in an urgent manner.
This time, a younger eunuch came to deliver the order. Zhou Yi heard from the young eunuch that when Wei Zhongxian was in the palace, he had really offended a chief eunuch of Shangshan Superintendent.
The chief eunuch almost tortured Wei Zhongxian to death. Later, Wei Zhongxian obtained a large amount of silver from unknown sources and bribed Liu Xi, the chief eunuch who was responsible for the eunuch.
Not only did he ask Liu Xi to deal with the chief eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor, he was also adopted as his adopted son.
Recently, Wei Zhongxian also came into contact with Emperor Li Xuanji. Because Wei Zhongxian was smart and good at getting things done, he was quite favored and used by Li Xuanji.
Wei Zhongxian was re-employed this time. Without Zhou Yi's little goldfish for management, Wei Zhongxian thought that he might have been killed by the eunuch chief of Shangshan Supervisor.
And what Zhou Yi said before about the dragon moving and the storm coming, was indeed successfully verified.
Wei Zhongxian himself was deeply favored, and his status in the palace also increased.
Wei Zhongxian also knew how to repay kindness, and he also thought that one day he could repay Zhou Yi and Zhou Tanhua's kindness.
