Sending Guo Aotian back to the Kaifeng Qianniu Wei Mansion, Li Fengyun planned to go to Luoyang Tianyan Pavilion to find Zhang Zongyuan, the thunderbolt of Qiankun, to check the matter of the ghost Shura. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xuanyuan Tai's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and there is no reason why he doesn't know anything about Ghost Shura.

Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly communicated with his own guard, Zhang Quanzhong and Zhang Gonggong came.

Li Fengyun was stunned in his heart, Zhang Quanzhong and Zhang Gonggong were the first confidants of the little emperor Shi Chonggui, what was he doing here at this time?

Li Fengyun hurriedly welcomed Zhang Qianzhong into the mansion.

Zhang Qianzhong arched his hand at Li Fengyun and said: "Master Hou is really busy, our family has been here a few times in the past few days, but we haven't been able to see the general." There seemed to be dissatisfaction in his tone.

Li Fengyun laughed and said: "It's Li who is offended, in the past few days, I went to Danzhou to investigate the assassination of the emperor, and I have already taken leave from the Ministry of War. ”

Zhang Qianzhong said: "Didn't the assassination case of Shengshang be handed over to Dali Sizhi (Note 1) for investigation, why is General Li also pursuing it?"

Li Fengyun was stunned and said: "It turned out that it had been handed over to Dali Si for direct investigation, I didn't know about this matter, I thought that this case was still being investigated by my brother Mo Qingyan." Looks like I'm having a lot of trouble!"

Zhang Qianzhong laughed and said: "It seems that the Hou Ye really doesn't know, the day before yesterday, the emperor sealed Mo lightly and said that Lord Mo is the head of Dali, and this case is still under the investigation of Lord Mo." All the generals under the command of Hou Ye have been rewarded, but you ...... Hou Ye"

Zhang Qianzhong paused and said: "The emperor and the ministers think that you are too young to be promoted again, and the special general can bring a knife to the service, and he has the right to play the secret music of the king at any time, and no one can stop him." Hou Ye, this is an amazing right, and only you have this right in my court. ”

Li Fengyun was shocked, almost doubting his ears.

"You can bring a knife into the service, and you have the right to play the secret at any time. "What does this mean? It means that the little emperor Shi Chonggui is completely defenseless against him, and he can assassinate the little emperor at any time if he wants to. Does Shi Chonggui trust him so much?

Seeing Li Fengyun standing on the spot, Zhang Quanzhong and Zhang Gonggong were very satisfied, laughed, and said loudly: "Dingguo Hou Fengyunwei General Li Fengyun takes the order!"

Li Fengyun hurriedly ordered the guards in the house to burn incense for the record, and fell to his knees.

Zhang Quanzhong took out the holy decree from his sleeve and read it out, to the effect that it was similar to what he had just said.

After reading it out, Zhang Quanzhong handed over the holy decree to Li Fengyun and said with a smile: "The saint's importance to the Hou Ye is not ordinary.

Hou Ye should know that these days, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military impeachment of Hou Ye can be said to be full of the Holy Lord's table, but the Holy Lord forcibly suppressed it.

For the reward of the Hou Ye, the day before yesterday morning, the Holy Lord quarreled with the Manchu Dynasty for a morning. Lord Hou, please take a look, this holy decree is directly issued by the emperor (Note 2), and there is no seal of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.

The saint's trust and love for the Hou Ye can be understood by the general. ”

Although he knew that this was a means for the little emperor Shi Chonggui to buy people's hearts, Li Fengyun still rose a hot current from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes were full of emotion.

"Hou Ye has a great merit in saving the driver! He should have been rewarded, but after all, Hou Ye is only in his early twenties, and it is not a good thing for Hou Ye to reward too much.

The saint personally explained to the old slave and said: 'Li Aiqing's exploits are all in my heart, and I will never forget them. You go and tell Li Aiqing that in the future, he will be able to make meritorious contributions to the Southern Tang Dynasty, destroy the Hou Shu, and conquer the Khitan, so that he should not be anxious, and in the future, he will tear the earth and divide the king, and I may be him! In a word, Qing will not live up to me, I will not let him end. ’

Master Hou, do you understand the words of the Holy One?"

Li Fengyun's heart was surging, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general understands, the last general only has one sentence, please tell the emperor, whoever wants to live with the emperor in the future will not be able to live with me Li Fengyun." ”

"Okay, very good!" Zhang Quanzhong said with a smile, "This sentence will be truthfully reported to the Holy Lord, and I also hope that in the future, the Hou Ye will remember what he said today." ”

Li Fengyun stood up, took out a jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into Zhang Quanzhong's hand: "The loyalty of the last general to the emperor can be shown every day, this little care, my father-in-law will keep it for drinking tea and enjoying it in the future." ”

Zhang Qianzhong looked at the jade pendant in the sunlight and praised: "The water is transparent, it is a good jade, I am afraid that this jade pendant will cost thousands of taels of silver!"

Li Fengyun said in his heart: "I don't know how much silver it is worth, anyway, it was given to me by someone else." Hearing Grandpa Zhang say this, there was still some pain in his heart, but he didn't show it, and laughed: "A little gadget, what's worth it?"

Zhang Qianzhong sighed a few times, and returned the jade pendant to Li Fengyun: "If this jade pendant is given to our family by someone else, our family will accept it, but our family can't accept Hou Ye's things, and we don't dare to accept them."

Because our family knows that the food and salary allocated by the imperial court to Fengyunwei cannot support a strong army. Our family is not an ignorant person, this jade pendant is enough to feed hundreds of soldiers for several months. If our family accepts this jade pendant, our hearts will be uneasy!

General Li, our family understands your intentions, but this jade pendant can really be accepted by our family. Sell this jade pendant, buy some good fish and meat, and reward the soldiers who have worked hard for the battalion! Let them serve me well and serve the saints. The saint was happy, and the old slave was happy. ”

Li Fengyun was surprised for a while, and unconsciously looked at Zhang Qianzhong a few points. It is said that Father-in-law Zhang is wealthy, but it seems that this is not the case.

After the assassination incident in the Imperial Hunting Ground, Li Fengyun didn't expect the little emperor to be so good to him. Whether from Feng Dao's analysis or his own impression, Shi Chonggui was not a person who could not see Li Fengyun's potential threat.

From ancient times to the present, whenever such a person appears, there is usually only one result, and that is to kill. Even if the man did not have the intention of rebellion, the result would be the same. Since it poses a threat to the imperial power, how much does it matter if there is a rebellious heart or not?

And those civil and military generals, like a group of scavengers, vultures on the grassland, hyenas with tails, and a large group of buzzing flies, get the most nutrients through the corpses of the former, and they can't wait to squeeze out the marrow in their bones. They will take this opportunity to strengthen their power and interests, and see the former as the cornerstone of their progress.

Huo Guang, a generation of famous ministers, three years after his death, his family was wiped out, no matter how brilliant he had done for the Han Dynasty.

Of the twenty-four ministers of the Tang Lingyan Pavilion, how many were not wiped out in the end?

This is a strange circle, when the greater the merit, it means the closer to being scolded and trampled on, unless you can successfully rebel and become the emperor.

However, this time, the little emperor Shi Chonggui did not do this.

Life is really like a play, and after receiving the holy decree of Shi Chonggui, Li Fengyun's heart was light. Fengyunwei is safe, at least for now.

Maybe it's because he's afraid of the eight thousand tigers outside the city, maybe it's just that Li Fengyun still has the value of use, maybe it's because Li Fengyun's strength is too weak, and he can't be called a powerful minister, so the little emperor will do this to him.

But what does it matter? With the little emperor standing in front, who would dare to say that he is Dong Zhuo? Fengyunwei's life will be much better, and Li Fengyun's life will be much better.

The important thing is not that "you can bring a knife into the service, and you have the right to play the secret of the king at any time", even if the little emperor gave Li Fengyun this right, Li Fengyun could not really carry the night practice and the shadow treasure knife, and enter and leave the palace freely. The important thing is the emperor's attitude, Shi Chonggui showed his attitude, he wants to protect Li Fengyun.

Then the scavengers could only watch from afar, and at most they could only occasionally bark in discontent.

Note 1: Dali Si Zhi, an official from the six grades.

Note 2: Zhongzhi, the Tang and Song emperors issued personal orders from the court or sent the edicts through Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province abnormally, and directly handed over to the relevant institutions for execution, which is called Zhongzhi. In other words, it is a kind of will that does not follow the normal process, and after receiving this kind of holy decree, the official can not accept it.

Generally speaking, non-acceptance of the Decree is considered to be a very disciplined act and is highly praised. On the other hand, if they accept the decree, they are often regarded as subordinate and are condemned.

This is a mechanism for mutual restraint between the emperor and his courtiers, and the Ming Dynasty abolished the three-province system, but later developed the cabinet system, and after the cabinet system matured, the holy decree without the consent of the cabinet can also be called the middle decree.

To give an example: during the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, Song Taizong bypassed the prime minister and directly formulated a battle plan with the Privy Council and directly commanded the front-line generals.

Another example: during the Northern Expedition of Shaoxing, Prime Minister Qin Hui issued an edict to withdraw troops in the name of the imperial court, but Song Gaozong issued an edict asking Zhu to continue the attack. All the generals were ordered to withdraw their troops, and only Yue Fei continued to attack on the orders of the central government. As a result, Yue Fei was exempted from prison and died in prison. Although it is well known that this matter is a traitor of Qin Dahan, from the perspective of legal procedures, he is really the reasonable party.
