The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine From the Northeast - Chapter 41

    In terms of the emotions that Feng Luan has shown in these days, Ye Yang has always felt that the Huguo Temple is the most unforgettable thing in Feng Luan’s mind, how come Feng Luan actually took the initiative Said to take him to Huguo Temple to see Fengyue?

    “I had an agreement with him when I was young.” Feng Luan hesitated, but only said, “I’ll tell you later.”

    Ye Yang murmured in a low voice, “… half of the talk, I won’t have a wife in the future.”

    Feng Luan: “…”

    “Feng Luan favorability rating -1, current favorability rating 203”

    Ye Yang: “!!”

    Has Feng Luan’s favorability dropped? !

    My God! How long has it been since he saw Feng Luan lose his favor!

    Ye Yang was very excited, even if there was a bug in the system, even if Feng Luan’s favorability level kept skyrocketing, he felt that he still had hope of lowering Feng Luan’s favorability level.

    It’s just the plot of going to Huguo Temple… Ye Yang hasn’t seen it in the book.

    Although the place of Huguo Temple appears many times in the book, Feng Luan never took Chu Lian to Huguo Temple, but Chu Lian went there when she accompanied her mother to worship the Buddha Huguo Temple several times—

    Ye Yang was slightly startled, and remembered again that he had read the last few chapters of this book before he came to the book.

    After Chu Lian was finally awarded the title, Feng Luan allowed her to go home to visit relatives. She accompanied her mother to the temple to visit the temple. After returning, Chu mother ordered her to fight with Chen Xiangning and Ming Yan, Even bluntly said that if the two of them were not dead, it was difficult for her to consolidate the king’s heart.

    Chu Lian accompanied her mother to Huguo Temple.

    Ye Yang didn’t know if he was over-hearted or not. There was Feng Yue in the Huguo Temple, and now during their trip to Yan, they have made them clear about the relationship between Chu Heqian and the King of Jinghuai. It doesn’t mean that… Chu Heqian should also know that Fengyue, the king of Shenyang, is still alive.

    Chen Xiangning represents the Shen family, Yunyang represents the Yun family, and Ming Yan represents the empress dowager. These are the forces that support Feng Luan behind Feng Luan. In the book, Yunyang is dead and the Yun family has fallen. , If the Shen family and the queen mother were to be defeated again, that Feng Luan would gradually become isolated and helpless, and it would be much easier for Chu Heqian to control him.

    Seeing that his expression suddenly changed, Feng Luan was a little puzzled and asked him, “What’s wrong with you? But you’re not feeling well?”

    Ye Yang can only shake his head.

    Everything is just his suspicions, he doesn’t have much evidence, he thinks about it, anyway, this story is still far away, now Feng Luan also knows the relationship between Chu Heqian and Feng Yue Because of the relationship, Feng Luan must be on guard, and they will soon return to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, he may be able to ask some clues from Chu Lian.

    Feng Luan didn’t think much about it. He saw that the carriage had entered the county seat, so he said to Ye Yang, “I’ll go back to the county office later, you still think I’m the king of Jinghuai County.”

    Ye Yang nodded.

    Feng Luan raised the curtain of the car with one hand and looked out of the car.

    Outside the city gate, the victims were in ragged clothes, and their faces were exhausted. His neck was bowed, and he could not wait to touch the ground.

    When the carriage entered the city, Feng Luanfang lowered the curtain of the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed softly.

    “Wait.” Feng Luan said lightly, “I want to invite you to see the big show.”

    …

    Feng Luan returned unharmed, saying that Shen Shaoheng rescued him in time, and several county officials in the county government were extremely congratulated.

    Feng Luan went to see the injured Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan was still in a coma, and the county government almost brought all the doctors in the county. be safe. And Xu Yuan’s account book is already in Feng Luan’s hands, Feng Luan is not worried, it is best if this person can be saved, even if he can’t be saved, the problem is not too big.

    The magistrates of the other counties rushed to hold a banquet for Feng Luan, but did not remember that there was another person seriously injured in bed. This time Feng Luan readily agreed, saying that it was the last time to leave Changzhou When they got together, they even brought Ye Yang with them. Before going to the banquet, they specially emphasized with a few people that there was a family present tonight, not to talk about the wind and moon.

    He behaved like the previous days, so there was no doubt about it, but Ye Yang knew that tonight might be the time for the showdown.

    Into the night.

     He got up, smiled and said to the crowd, “Everyone, now that this king has seen the riverbank, it’s time to leave for the return journey after thinking about it in the next few days.”

      , he could not wait to please him very much today, and now he is rushing to toast Feng Luan, saying, “Your Highness, please don’t get in the mood for today’s gangster assassination.”

    The magistrate of Anqing County understood the interface and said: “Yes, my lord, after returning to Beijing, I hope that the lord can wait for me to say a few good words in front of the emperor.”

    Feng Luan is not good at drinking, he is about to refuse, Ye Yang has already opened his mouth, glared at Feng Luan, and said, “How can you be so capable? Drink, drink whatever you want.”

    Feng Luan: “…”

    Ye Yang has taken the wine glass in his hand, and simply said: “I’ll take his place.”

      Then don’t drink.”

    “Feng Luan favorability +10, current favorability is 213”

    Ye Yang: “…”

    That’s all, it’s just ten points of favorability, it’s not that I haven’t added it.

    Feng Luan said that there will be a good show tonight, Ye Yang has been unhappy with these county officials for a long time, don’t get drunk and miss it.

    Ye Yang said that he wanted to serve the wine, other people would not dare to respect him any more, but it meant that the round was over.

    Feng Luan took a piece of braised pork between chopsticks and chopsticks, and put it into Ye Yang’s bowl as if nothing had happened, and asked casually: “Speaking of those assassins should be up for the flood, if you can Repair the embankment better, it won’t cost a lot of money, and it won’t happen, and it will look better in face.”

    Ye Yang looked at the meat in his bowl: “…”

    It was Master Sun, who was busy trying to exonerate Xu Yuan, so that Feng Luan knew that it was because they did not want to repair it, so he hurriedly replied, “I don’t know, Wangye, it takes time to repair the embankment. , If it is a major repair, it will not be completed within three years.”

    Ye Yang couldn’t resist the temptation of the braised pork in thick red sauce, took a bite, and asked, “Three years?”

    Feng Luan brought his bowl over, poured soup for him, and smiled: “This king actually forgot about this.”

    He looked sideways at Ye Yang, as if explaining to Ye Yang, but his eyes were fixed on the county officials, and said: “The next three years, if you drag out three Years, aren’t a few adults going to marry others?”

      Concealed, just at this moment, the servants served a sweet and sour carp. According to the reason, Feng Luan moved the chopsticks first, but Feng Luan raised the chopsticks halfway, and then paused again, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: “This The king still has one thing in doubt, you respect Chu Heqian every year, there must be a number, right?”

    This question is too sensitive, everyone felt a little embarrassed, looked at each other, not knowing how to speak, Feng Luan sighed softly, and said: “Chu Heqian honors this king every year, and now he The number is getting smaller and smaller, the emperor usually does not let this king leave the capital, and it is rare to have such an opportunity, of course, this king also wants to ask everyone.”

    Master Sun looked left and right, in order to please the King of Jinghuai County, he took the initiative to move forward and whispered: “I don’t know, my lord, this embankment should have been repaired a long time ago. The money allocated is only for maintenance and repairs. It is not too much. 10% of the county is reserved, and the remaining 90% is given to the prefect, Lord Chu. As for how much Lord Chu keeps and how much is handed over to Lord Chu, then we don’t know. .”

    Feng Luan nodded thoughtfully and said, “You guys are honest.”

    The rest of the people said, “How dare we hide it from the lord.”

    In the past, if they wanted to please the King of Jinghuai County, they had to get the hands of the prefect, Chu Taishi and many other people, and the King of Jinghuai County might not be able to remember them. At that time, Jinghuai had no real power. , they are not in a hurry, but now the emperor has released Jinghuai out of the capital, this is the emperor’s nephew after all, how to make a success in the future, but now is a good opportunity to please Jinghuai, Master Sun has already said the first In a word, the rest of the people followed Master Sun’s words and continued, but everyone didn’t know how much Chu Yeshu handed over to Chu Heqian.

    Feng Luan gently placed the chopsticks neatly on the table, looked up at the group of people on the table, and said softly, “Just as Chu Yeshu arrived in Changzhou, why don’t you ask him in person.”

      It’s good to send someone to meet him.”

    Ye Yang drank Bamboo Sun and Abalone Soup, feeling a little excited.

    Come here, the good show that Feng Luan said is about to begin.

    …

    They waited for a while, before Feng Luan moved the fish, but he gave it to Ye Yang first, before the rest of the people did, Shen Shaoheng had already come in with Chu Yeshu.

    Chu Yeshu knew Feng Luan. He was intercepted and taken away by the imperial guard sent by Shen Shaoheng, and he already understood what happened. Now he saw Feng Luan, He almost fell to his knees, not wanting Shen Shaoheng to hold his arm and make him stand firm, Feng Luan wrote lightly: “Master Chu, I haven’t seen this king for a long time, why are you so excited?”

    Before he came in, Shen Shaoheng had beaten Chu Yeshu. Chu Yeshu knew that he had made a big mistake, and Feng Luan would definitely not forgive him lightly, but if he behaved better now, maybe Feng Luan would take into account the past Love, save his life, he shivered, his lips trembled, and he reluctantly called out: “Wang… Wangye is joking.”

    But as soon as Shen Shaoheng let go, he knelt down on his knees, and everyone finally realized something was wrong, but Feng Luan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn’t even look at Chu Yeshu, and said, “Master Chu, You honor Chu Heqian every year, how much do you keep?”

    Chu Yeshu’s tone was slightly increased, and after a long while Fang said in a trembling voice: “Each… each county will keep 10%, give 90% to Weichen, Weichen will keep 30%, and the remaining 60% will be given to Chu Taishi.”

    “Okay.” Feng Luan said, “Just make it clear.”

    Feng Luan raised his hand to signal, Shen Shaoheng understood, clapped his hands lightly, and several people carried several large boxes.

    Feng Luan got up and walked around the table seat to the box. Shen Shaoheng opened the box, and he said: “At the time of parting, this king has a big gift to give.”

    He raised his eyes to look at the people in the banquet, and everyone finally realized that this was a banquet, and a few people were thinking about getting out, but Shen Shaoheng was standing by the door, and he could only wipe his sweat. After thinking hard, now seeing Feng Luan, each of them was sweating profusely, grinning at him reluctantly.

    Only Ye Yang.

    Ye Yang was slightly startled, his heart pounding.

    He seldom saw Feng Luan handle political affairs, and usually only saw Feng Luan critique the papers, but now, although Feng Luan’s face is casual, it seems that all the words he said before were casual chatting at the dinner table, but This look is really different from the stinking **** emperor that Ye Yang usually sees. He couldn’t hold back his expectations, so he could only look down at the fish in the bowl, and patted his chest, thinking this The wine is really powerful, how could his heart beat faster.

    Feng Luan picked up a book from the box, flipped through the two pages, and said: “Everyone knows, the prefect of Chu is very talented in writing, the first grade and the first in high school, and he stays in the Imperial Palace in Beijing. He was a lecturer for the prince when he was not on the throne today.”

    After he finished speaking, he threw the booklet heavily in front of Chu Ye’s writing, and the pages of the book raised dust of flour dust from the stone and brick floor, and fell on Chu Ye’s vermilion official robe, like dust.

    “Mr. Chu.” Feng Luan’s voice was cold and biting, “Read it.”

    …

    A moment of silence.

    Chu Yeshu slowly picked up the booklet, but his fingers trembled. On the first day of the lunar month, Anqing County’s white… silver…”

    His hands trembled more and more, after all, he couldn’t even hold the account book, the account book fell to the ground, and he bowed his head, as if he had collapsed on the ground, and could not stand up no matter what Come.

    “Read it? Why don’t you read it?” Feng Luan raised his eyebrows and said, “In this world, tens of thousands of people pay taxes, and you will be raised as a bunch of trash!”

    The rest of the county officials were stunned and at a loss, but even so, they knew that today, a catastrophe was imminent.

    “Shen Shaoheng!” Feng Luan said loudly, “Come and read!”

    Shen Shaoheng took the account book, word by word, every word was clear.

    “On the first day of March, 203,000 taels of silver from Anqing County and 149,000 taels of silver from Wendao County were collected… A total of 3,270,000 taels of silver were prepared.

    On May 28 of the same year, 3,270,000 taels of silver were issued to the prefect Chu Yeshu. “

    Shen Shaoheng was reading the account book in front of him, and the magistrate of Anqing wanted to sneak away when he took a chance. Coming from here, the county magistrate of Anqing was so frightened that his tone changed, he struggled hard, and cried a little, and said, “You…what are you doing! I am an official of the imperial court!”

    Before he finished speaking, he raised his head and saw Feng Luan’s murderous intent falling on him.

    Cha Shen Shaoheng closed the account book in his hand and reprimanded.

    “The Holy Driver is here!” he said, “Who dares to make a mistake!”

    The tables and chairs were overturned, and countless official robes around them knelt, screamed in panic, and the two were fighting. He also just stared at Feng Luan. He stayed for a while, and when he saw everyone kneeling down, he didn’t know what to do with himself. Feng Luan waved his sleeves and looked back at Chu Yeshu, who was collapsed on the ground.

    “Mr. Chu.” He asked word by word, “Do you remember what you said when you first lectured for me?”

    Chu Yeshu sat paralyzed on the ground, thinking that his splendid future would be ruined in one fell swoop, his eyes were stunned, he heard Feng Luan calling his husband, Fang seemed to have a life-saving straw, raised his head hastily, and hurriedly called: “Your Majesty, look For the sake of the minister who once entered the palace to give lectures, spare the life of the minister, and the minister will never dare to do it again in the future!”

    Feng Luan closed his eyes slightly, but as if he had never heard Chu Yeshu’s words, he turned his back and said, “Shen Shaoheng, take him down.”

    Yuyinwei Fang, who had been waiting for a long time, came in from outside the house and dragged away the county magistrate who had collapsed all over the floor. Ye Yang just stood up at this moment and walked towards Feng Luan. Just as he heard Feng Luan muttering, he said, “He said that all the people in the world are my responsibility. If there is still one person who cannot eat enough, I will not be able to sleep peacefully.”

    Ye Yang: “…”

    Feng Luan didn’t look at him, as if he wasn’t talking to him, just the way Feng Luan looked now… According to what he just said, he personally ordered his teacher to be captured…

    Ye Yang saw his loneliness, but he didn’t know how to comfort him, so just as he was about to speak, Feng Luan took a deep breath, turned to look at him, smiled with him, and said, “It’s getting dark. Tonight, rest early.”

    Ye Yang: “…”

    No, it’s very wrong.

    He watched Feng Luan turn around and leave, and then looked at the banquet behind him. The banquet had just started, but now it was a mess. If he remembered correctly, from this morning till now, Feng Luan has not even had time to eat a single bite. Eating, even when the banquet was just now, he only cared about serving him. He knew that Feng Luan might not be in the mood, and when such a big event happened, he didn’t know how to comfort him.

    Guan Ying was instructed to come in and send Ye Yang back to the house to rest. The emperor ordered them to clear another room, but Ye Yang felt unhappy. He took a step and turned his head to tread When he came back, he grabbed Giao Ying’s arm, smiled with him, and said, “Little brother, do me a favor.”

    Glance blinked at him blankly.

    Ye Yang pointed to a few dishes on the table: “Can I make a package? I’m not full, I want to have dinner all night long.”

    …

    I have seen this good show, and the corrupt officials have also seized it. After returning to Beijing, it is time to prepare for liquidation, but Feng Luan can’t say how happy he is.

    He remembered clearly that the former emperor was in chaos and corruption in the dynasty. At that time, when Chu Yeshu first entered the officialdom, he gave him lectures and even beat him several times. Achieve great achievements in the future.

    But now, he still remembers every word that Chu Yeshu said to him, but Chu Yeshu himself does not remember.

    He didn’t light the lamp, just sat at the table, the past was vivid in his mind, he couldn’t hold back a wry smile, and was silent for a long time, he rubbed his forehead and was about to sigh, but someone knocked on the door outside and took him Startled, the next moment I heard a familiar voice ringing outside.

    “Are you there?” Ye Yang whispered outside, “Handsome guy, are you there?”

    Feng Luan: “…”

    He was about to get up to open the door, but he saw Ye Yang kicked the door open, and the lights of the corridor outside the house lit up and poured into the house, accompanied by the aroma of the food, and Ye Yang’s hands They were all carrying the food boxes, and behind them were Glimpse, who was in a daze with the food boxes, and Shen Shaoheng, who was looking out worriedly.

    Ye Yang coughed with him and said, “We didn’t mean to kick the door on purpose, we really don’t have the time…”

    Feng Luan was stunned, at that moment he did not understand what Ye Yang said in front of him, but he could guess Ye Yang’s intention, and then watched Ye Yang directly light the lamp on the table , set up the dishes, and muttered: “What are you doing to smear, you want to catch ghosts or you want to become immortals.”

    Feng Luan: “…”

    The dishes were set and the lights were on, Ye Yang raised his head and smiled at Feng Luan, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said seriously: “What’s inside, cough Cough… people are iron, and rice is steel! Don’t eat a meal and be hungry! While it’s still hot, let’s have dinner together for the whole night?”

    Feng Luan’s lips curved slightly.

    People change.

    But in this world, there is always an unchanging heart.
