Chapter 41 The holy driver is here [Double-in-one 1]
In terms of the emotions that Feng Luan has revealed these days, Ye Yang has always felt that the Huguo Temple is the last thing in Feng Luan's mind. Why did Feng Luan take the initiative to take him to the Huguo Temple today? See Feng Yue?
"I had an agreement with him when I was young." Feng Luan hesitated to speak, but he just said, "I'll tell you later."
Ye Yang murmured in a low voice: "... halfway through talking, I will not have a wife in the future."
Feng Luan: "..."
"Feng Luan's favorability -1, current favorability is 203"
Ye Yang: "!!!"
Did Feng Luan's favorability drop? !
God!How long has it been since he saw Feng Luan lose his favor!
Ye Yang was extremely excited, even if there was a bug in the system, even if Feng Luan's favorability kept skyrocketing, he still felt that he still had hope of reducing Feng Luan's favorability.
It's just that the plot of going to Huguo Temple...Ye Yang has never seen it in the book.
Although the place Huguo Temple appeared many times in the book, Feng Luan had never brought Chu Lian to Huguo Temple, on the contrary, Chu Lian himself went to Huguo Temple several times when he accompanied her mother to worship the Buddha——
Ye Yang was slightly taken aback, and remembered the last few chapters of the book he had read before coming to the book.
Chu Lian was finally named Empress, Feng Luan allowed her to go home to visit her relatives, and she accompanied her mother to visit the temple. After returning, Chu's mother ordered her to fight with Chen Xiangning and Ming Yan, and even bluntly said that they would not die. Gu Junxin.
Chu Lian accompanied her mother to Huguo Temple.
Ye Yang didn't know if he was superstitious, there was Feng Yue in the Huguo Temple, and now this trip to Yanzhong made them understand the relationship between Chu Heqian and Jinghuai County King, does that mean...Chu He Qian should also know that Shenyang Wang Fengyue is still alive.
And Chen Xiangning represents the Shen family, Yunyang represents the Yun family, and Ming Yan represents the Queen Mother. These are the forces that support Feng Luan behind Feng Luan. In the book, Yunyang is dead and the Yun family is in decline. The Empress Dowager, that Feng Luan was gradually isolated and helpless, it would be much easier for Chu Heqian to control him.
Seeing the sudden change in his expression, Feng Luan was a little puzzled, and asked him, "What's wrong with you? But you don't feel well?"
Ye Yang could only shake his head.
Everything was just his suspicion and speculation, he didn't have much evidence, he thought about it, anyway, this plot is still far away, now that Feng Luan already knows the relationship between Chu Heqian and Feng Yue, Feng Luan will definitely have something Be on guard, they will return to Beijing soon, and after returning to Beijing, he may be able to get some clues from Chu Lian.
Feng Luan didn't think much about it, he saw that the carriage had already entered the county seat, so he said to Ye Yang: "When I get back to the county office later, you still think I'm the King of Jinghuai County."
Ye Yang couldn't help nodding.
Feng Luan raised the car curtain with one hand and looked outside the car.
The victims outside the city gate were dressed in ragged clothes, their faces were full of exhaustion, and they were as anxious as frightened birds. However, the medicine collection officers showed off their might and yelled at them. .
Feng Luan's expression was calm, if he didn't hear it, but Ye Yang was in the car, he could see Feng Luan tightening his five fingers and pursing the corners of his lips slightly, obviously extremely displeased.
When the carriage entered the city, Feng Luanfang put down the curtain, slightly closed his eyes, and sighed softly.
"Wait." Feng Luan said calmly, "I want you to watch the big show."
……
Feng Luan came back unharmed, said that Shen Shaoheng rescued him in time, several magistrates in the county government congratulated him, thinking that if the county king really died here, then they might not be able to get away with it.
Feng Luan went to see the injured Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan was still in a coma, the county government had almost all the doctors in the county, judging by the posture, they were going to wait all night, if he could last through the night, he would be safe.And Xu Yuan's account book is already in Feng Luan's hands, Feng Luan is not worried, it would be best if this person can be saved, even if he cannot be saved, the problem is not too big.
The county magistrates in the other counties rushed to hold a banquet for Feng Luan, and they didn't remember that there was another person who was seriously injured in bed. This time, Feng Luan readily agreed, saying that it was the last reunion after leaving Changzhou, and even brought Ye Yang with him. Bring it, and before going to the banquet, I specially emphasized with several people that there is a family member present tonight, so we don't want to talk about romance.
He behaved the same as the previous few days, so no one doubted him, but Ye Yang knew that tonight might be the time for a showdown.
into the night.
At any rate, the assassins had just left, and no one dared to go out rashly, so the banquet was set up in the county government office, and the county magistrates from nearby counties gathered together, enjoying delicious food and wine, drinking and drinking, Feng Luan raised his glass and said to everyone: " Ladies and gentlemen, now that the king has seen the embankment, I think it's time to set off for the return journey after a few days."
The rest of the county magistrates hastened to join in. Xu Yuan in Changzhou County was seriously injured, so he was replaced by his aide, Mr. Sun. After all, the assassination he wanted to do happened in Changzhou. He also hurriedly chased after him and toasted Feng Luan, saying: "My lord, don't spoil your mood because of today's gangster's assassination."
The county magistrate of Anqing County understood, and said: "Yes, my lord, after returning to Beijing, I hope that my lord can wait for me to say a few words of kindness in front of the emperor."
Feng Luan didn't drink well, he was about to refuse, but Ye Yang rushed to open his mouth, glared at Feng Luan, and said: "How can you be so good? With your poor capacity for alcohol, drink, drink, drink what you want to drink."
Feng Luan: "..."
Ye Yang took the wine glass in his hand, and simply said: "I will replace him."
There are three big brothers, parents and elders, and Ye Yang's body can hold a lot of alcohol. Feng Luan glanced at him in a daze, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "If Madam says you don't want to drink, then don't drink."
"Feng Luan's favorability +10, current favorability is 213"
Ye Yang: "..."
That's all, ten favorability points, it's not like it hasn't been added.
Feng Luan said that there will be a good show tonight, Ye Yang has been upset with these magistrates for a long time, don't get drunk and miss it.
Ye Yang said that he wanted to replace the wine, so the others naturally didn't dare to respect him any more, but the round of meaning was over,
And Feng Luan took a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks, put it in Ye Yang's bowl as if nothing had happened, and asked casually: "Speaking of which, those assassins should have risen because of the flood, if you can repair the embankment better, It won’t cost much, and it won’t happen, so it’s better to look good.”
Ye Yang looked at the meat in his bowl: "..."
It was still Master Sun who was busy exonerating Xu Yuan so that Feng Luan would know that they were not willing to repair it, so he hurriedly replied, "I don't know, it takes time to repair the embankment. If it is a major repair, it will definitely not work within three years." Finish."
Ye Yang couldn't resist the temptation of the braised pork with thick oil and red sauce, so he took a bite and asked, "Three years?"
Feng Luan brought his bowl over, filled soup for him, and said with a smile: "My lord actually forgot about this."
He looked sideways at Ye Yang, as if he was explaining to Ye Yang, but his eyes were fixed on those county magistrates, and he said: "The next three years in the local government, if it takes three years, don't the adults want to do this?" Married for someone else?"
Everyone laughed, this matter is not a secret at all, most people are unwilling to do anything for the assessment of the three-year term, in front of Jinghuai County King, they don't feel that this matter needs to be concealed, just at this time the servant brought A dish of sweet and sour carp, according to the reason, Feng Luan moved his chopsticks first, but Feng Luan raised the chopsticks halfway, then stopped again, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked with a smile: "My lord still has one doubt. There should be a number of filial piety to Chu Heqian, right?"
This question is too sensitive, everyone felt a little embarrassed, looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a while, Feng Luan sighed softly, and said: "Chu Heqian pays filial piety to the king every year, but now the amount given is getting less and less , Your Majesty usually does not let me leave the capital, but it is rare to have such an opportunity, so of course I would like to ask you all about it."
Master Sun looked around, and in order to please King Jinghuai, he took the initiative to move forward and said in a low voice, "My lord doesn't know, this embankment should have been repaired a long time ago, and the money allocated by the court in recent years is only for maintenance. It’s not too much, each county keeps [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is given to Lord Chu, the magistrate, 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 chattered and said, "How dare we hide it from the prince."
In the past, if they wanted to please King Jinghuai, they had to get the hands of many people such as the magistrate and Grand Master Chu, and the King of Jinghuai might not remember them. At that time, Jinghuai had no real power at all, so they were not in a hurry, but Now that the emperor has let Jing Huai go out of Beijing, he is also the emperor's nephew. If he can't keep it safe in the future, how will he be able to flourish? Now is a good opportunity to please Jing Huai. Master Sun has already said the first sentence first, and the rest of the people are smug. Following the words of Master Sun, everyone didn't know how much Chu Ye's book was handed over to Chu Heqian.
Feng Luan gently placed the chopsticks neatly on the table, looked up at the people on the table, and said softly: "It just so happens that Chu Yeshu has arrived in Changzhou, why don't you ask him face to face."
The rest of the people were stunned, but before they recovered from it, Master Sun even laughed and said: "It turns out that the prefect Chu has also come, but Mr. Chu didn't send someone to send a message, so the villain can send someone to meet him. "
Ye Yang was a little excited while drinking bamboo sun and abalone soup.
Come, come, the good show Feng Luan talked about is finally about to begin.
……
They waited for a while, before Feng Luan touched the fish with his chopsticks, it was caught by Ye Yang first, before the rest of them could do anything, Shen Shaoheng had already brought Chu Yeshu in.
Ye Yang sized him up curiously, this Chu Yeshu was also dressed as a literati, he looked to be in his thirties, with a gentle lineage, just looking at his face, he couldn't imagine that he would be that kind of greedy.
Chu Yeshu knew Feng Luan. He was intercepted and taken away by the imperial guards sent by Shen Shaoheng halfway, and he knew what happened in his heart. Now when he saw Feng Luan, he almost fell to his knees and didn't want to Shen Shaoheng held his arm beside him to make him stand still, Feng Luan wrote lightly: "Lord Chu, I haven't seen this king for a long time, why are you so excited?"
Before coming in, Shen Shaoheng had already knocked on Chu Yeshu, Chu Yeshu knew that he had made a big mistake, Feng Luan would definitely not let him off lightly, but if he behaved better now, maybe Feng Luan would take into account the past feelings and spare his life, He trembled, his lips trembled, and he forced himself to call out: "Wang... Wang Ye was joking."
But as soon as Shen Shaoheng let go, he immediately knelt down, and everyone finally sensed that something was wrong, but Feng Luan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't even read Chu Ye's book, and said: "Master Chu, you pay tribute to Chu Heqian every year. How much did you keep?"
The tone of Chu Ye's book was slightly hurried, and Fang trembled after a long while: "Each...each county keeps [-]%, hands over [-]% to the ministers, retains [-]% to the ministers, and the remaining [-]% to Grand Master Chu."
"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 brought in several large boxes.
Feng Luan then got up, walked around the table and walked to the box, and ordered Shen Shaoheng to open the box, and he said just now: "When we part, I still have a big gift from you."
He raised his eyes to look at the people at the banquet, and everyone finally realized that this was a grand banquet. They were thinking of getting out, but seeing Shen Shaoheng standing by the door, they could only wipe off their sweat and think hard. , sweating profusely, grinning reluctantly at him.
Only Ye Yang.
Ye Yang looked at him, there seemed to be a light in his eyes that was not there before, Feng Luan couldn't help but slightly pursed his lips, as if he was also smiling with him.
Ye Yang was slightly taken aback, his heart beating violently.
He seldom saw Feng Luan dealing with political affairs, and he usually only saw Feng Luan reviewing papers. Now, although Feng Luan looked careless, as if what he said before were all casual chats at the dinner table, this appearance was really different from Ye Yang. The stinky emperor he saw was very different. He couldn't hold back the expectation in his heart, so he could only look down at the fish in the bowl, and even patted his chest, thinking that this wine is so powerful, how could his heart beat so fast? It's almost there.
Feng Luan had already picked up a book from the box, flipped through two pages, and said: "As you all know, Magistrate Chu has a remarkable literary talent. He won the first prize and was the number one scholar in high school. He stayed in the Central Academy of Beijing for revision. When he was not enthroned, he also served as a lecturer to the prince."
After finishing speaking, he threw the book heavily in front of Chu Ye's writing, and the pages of the book raised dust on the stone brick floor, and fell on Chu Ye's vermilion official robe, like dust.
"Mr. Chu." Feng Luan's tone was icy cold, "Read it."
……
Silence for a while.
Chu Yeshu picked up the book slowly, but with trembling fingers, it took a lot of effort to barely open the first page. The voice was trembling and vague, and he read in a trembling voice: "March... the first day of March, received in Anqing County White...silver..."
His hands trembled more and more, and finally he couldn't even hold the account book anymore. The account book fell to the ground, and he bowed his head, as if he had collapsed on the ground, and he couldn't get up anyway.
"Read it? Why don't you read it anymore?" Feng Luan raised his eyebrows and said, "The taxes of tens of thousands of people in this world are raising you trash!"
The rest of the county magistrates were stunned and at a loss for a while, but even so, they knew that a catastrophe was imminent today.
"Shen Shaoheng!" Feng Luan said loudly, "You read it!"
Shen Shaoheng then took over the account book, every word was clear.
“三月初一，收安青县白银20万3000两，文道县白银14万9000两……备齐共计白银3207万两。
On May 3207 of the same year, [-] million taels of silver was paid, which was written by Chu Ye, the magistrate. "
Shen Shaoheng was reading the account book in front of him, Anqing county magistrate took a chance and wanted to sneak away, but he didn't want Yuyinwei to be outside early, Lve Ying caught him straight and dragged him into the house, Anqing county magistrate frightened The tone of that voice changed, and he struggled hard, with a bit of crying, and said: "You... what are you doing! I'm the official of the imperial court!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head, and saw Feng Luan's murderous gaze falling on him.
Shen Shaoheng closed the account book in his hand, and reprimanded him sharply.
"The holy driver is here!" He said, "Who dares to make mistakes!"
The tables and chairs were overturned, and countless officials in robes around them knelt together, screaming in panic, the two were fighting, Ye Yang still held the bowl in his hand, he felt that he had passed through the set of Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and bronze teeth all night, and only stared at Feng Luan He stayed there for quite a while, seeing everyone kneeling down, not knowing what to do, 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 still remember what you said when you first gave me a lecture?"
Chu Yeshu sat paralyzed on the ground, thinking that his bright future would be ruined in one go, his eyes were dazed, and when Feng Luan called his husband, Fang seemed to be saved, he raised his head hastily, and hurriedly called out: "Your Majesty, for the sake of my minister's lectures in the palace... Come on, spare my life, and I will never dare to do it again in the future!"
Feng Luan slightly closed his eyes, but as if he had never heard Chu Yeshu's words, he turned his back and said: "Shen Shaoheng, take him down."
Yu Yinwei, who had been waiting for a long time, came in from outside the house and dragged away the county magistrate who was lying on the floor. Ye Yang just stood up at this moment and walked towards Feng Luan, just when he heard Feng Luan muttering, Said: "He said that all the people in the world are my responsibility. If there is still one person who can't eat enough, I can't sleep peacefully."
Ye Yang: "..."
Feng Luan didn't look at him, it didn't seem like he was talking to him, but Feng Luan's current appearance... According to what he just said, he personally ordered his teacher to be taken away...
Seeing that he was lonely, Ye Yang didn't know how to comfort him. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Luan took a deep breath, turned to look at him, smiled at him, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest early."
Ye Yang: "..."
No, this is very wrong.
He watched Feng Luan turn and leave, and then looked at the banquet behind him. The noisy banquet had just started, but now it was a mess. If he remembered correctly, Feng Luan hadn't even had time to eat a bite of rice from this morning to now, even when the banquet was just now. He only cared about picking up food for him, he knew that Feng Luan might not be in the mood, and he didn't know how to comfort him when such a big event happened.
Lve Ying got the order, came in to send Ye Yang back to rest, the emperor ordered, they cleared out another room, but Ye Yang felt uncomfortable, he took a step, turned around and stepped back, grabbed Lve Ying's arm , smiled at him, and said, "Little brother, do me a favor."
Lve Ying blinked at him blankly.
Ye Yang pointed to a few dishes on the table: "Can I make a bag? I'm not full, and I want to have another supper."
……
After seeing this good show, and the corrupt officials are also caught, they should prepare to liquidate after returning to Beijing, but Feng Luan couldn't mention how happy he was.
He remembered clearly that the first emperor was in chaos and corruption was rampant in the court. At that time, Chu Yeshu first entered the officialdom, and when he lectured for him, he pointed out the current problems, and even beat him several times.
But now, he still remembers every word Chu Yeshu said to him, but Chu Yeshu himself doesn't remember.
He didn't light the lamp, but just sat at the table, the past was vivid in his memory, he couldn't hold back a wry smile, he was silent for a long time, he rubbed his forehead, and was about to sigh, but someone knocked on the door outside, which surprised him, and the next moment he heard something familiar The voice rang out.
"Are you there?" Ye Yang murmured outside, "Handsome guy, are you there?"
Feng Luan: "..."
He was about to stand up and open the door, but he saw Ye Yang kick the door open, and the candle light in the corridor outside the house poured into the house for a moment, accompanied by the smell of food, and Ye Yang was carrying a food box in both hands, and behind him Followed by Lve Ying who was holding the food box in a daze, and Shen Shaoheng who was looking inside worriedly.
Ye Yang coughed with him, and said: "We didn't mean to kick the door on purpose, but we really don't have the skills..."
Feng Luan was startled, at that moment he didn't understand what Ye Yang said earlier, but he could guess Ye Yang's intention, then saw Ye Yang directly lit the lamp on the table, set the dishes, and muttered : "What are you trying to slander, do you want to catch ghosts or become immortals?"
Feng Luan: "..."
The dishes had been set and the lights were lit, Ye Yang raised his head and smiled at Feng Luan, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "What's inside, cough cough...people are iron, rice It’s steel! I’m so hungry if I don’t eat a meal! While it’s still hot, why don’t we have supper all night?”
Feng Luan couldn't help but slightly curled the corners of his lips.
People are changeable.
But in this world, there is always an unchanging heart.
