“I just think it’s not easy for Mrs. Ding.” Yun Zhao said with a smile.
Feng Yi reached out and pinched her cheek gently, "Have you forgotten what she did to offend you?"
“If we really want to talk about it, she didn’t know people well at the beginning. It’s all in the past, let’s forget about it.”
Feng Yi sighed, "Let's eat first."
Yun Zhao accompanied Feng Yi to dinner, and Feng Yi hurried back to Tai Chi Hall. Things in Huizhou could not be delayed.
Feng Yi returned to the Taiji Hall and paced slowly in the hall with his hands behind his hands. Ding Xian went out to sea to pursue the pirates. The Governor's Mansion was surrounded. The scholar wrote a petition to the court to deal with Ding Xian.
The petition, Feng Yi has not seen it yet.
However, Mrs. Ding returned to the capital first.
Feng Yi's eyes became colder and colder. Calculating carefully, it has been half a month since the incident happened, but the petition has not yet been sent to the capital. Is the scholar's siege of the Governor's Mansion a result of the people's will or is it instigated by someone?
“Meng Jiuchang!”
“The old slave is here.”
“It is said that the king of Zhenbei, Ji Yunting, and Song Dynasty have an audience with him!”
"yes."
Feng Yi took out the imperial map and pointed at Huizhou.
Pirates have been repeatedly banned, which has always been a headache for the court. If what Mrs. Ding said this time is true, the person who can get Ding Xian's token must be his cronies.
In other words, there are people in Huizhou who are colluding with bandits. Not only are they collaborating with bandits, but they are also inciting scholars to cause trouble. So why do the people behind the scenes do this?
What do they want?
The three of them arrived very quickly, and they were a little surprised to see them outside Tai Chi Hall.
Ji Yunting and Song Weiran, the highest-ranking kings of Zhenbei, stepped forward to salute.
The King of Zhenbei nodded slightly and glanced at the two of them, a little surprised that the emperor announced what they were here to do.
Meng Jiuchang led the three people into the palace, and the three people stepped forward to salute.
“Welcoming ministers pay homage to the emperor.” The three of them said in unison.
“Flat body.”
Feng Yi stood in front of the map without moving, and said without looking back: "King Zhenbei."
“The minister is here.”
“If I ask you to lead the troops directly to Huizhou, how long will it take you?”
"It takes about six days by land and four days by water." King Zhenbei replied in a deep voice, his heart sinking unavoidably.
When His Majesty mentioned Huizhou, he remembered what his daughter had said when she returned home, and his brows knitted together.
Thinking of this, King Zhenbei raised his head and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, are you doing something about Huizhou?"
“Ai Qing also knows?”
"Wei Chen's daughter went home yesterday and asked me to come forward to help Ding Xian, but Wei Chen didn't know the truth about the matter, so she naturally wouldn't agree. However, Wei Chen had people go south to investigate. Unexpectedly, the matter had already been heard by Datian, so please Your Majesty, I forgive you, I didn’t mean to hide anything." King Zhenbei said in a deep voice.
Ji Yunting and Song Weiran looked at each other, obviously a little confused. Huizhou?
What happened in Huizhou?
They didn't hear a sound.
"I know that you have always been pragmatic. This matter is of great importance. Of course you won't dare to speak out without verification. What's wrong?" Feng Yi finally turned around, "In this case, King Zhenbei will tell them about the matter." Talk about it.”
The king of Zhenbei responded, looked at Ji Yunting and Song Weiran, and told the story about Huizhou.
The two of them were shocked. They couldn't believe their ears. The capital was peaceful, but they didn't know that Huizhou would cause such a big storm.
Song Weiran said in a deep voice: "If what the prince said is true, I'm afraid this matter cannot be delayed and we need to go south immediately for verification."
Feng Yi looked at King Zhenbei and said, "You lead the troops to set off by water and meet up with Ding Xian. You must wipe out the pirates."
"Yes." The King of Zhenbei responded in a deep voice. He had already begun to think about the route and strategy for going south. However, Ding Xian had already gone to sea. It would not be easy to join him. He also needed someone who was familiar with Huizhou's maritime affairs to lead the way.
Thinking of this, King Zhenbei said: "Your Majesty, I need a guide." Naturally, this guide is not an ordinary person. Feng Yi nodded, "You will be temporarily in charge of Huizhou's military affairs."
The king of Zhenbei agrees, that's all.
Feng Yi looked at Song Weiran and the two of them again, "It is no accident that the students are causing trouble. The two beloved ministers must find out the root cause of this matter when they go south."
"yes."
After receiving the order and leaving the palace, the King of Zhenbei took the first step to move his troops southward.
Ji Yunting looked at Song Weiran, "Brother Song, when should we set off?"
“The sooner the better.”
"Naturally." Ji Yunting nodded, "Ding Xian may be in trouble this time."
Even if he is unjustly accused, if the token is stolen, he cannot escape the charge of dereliction of duty, let alone such a huge consequence.
Hearing this, Song Weiran raised his head and looked into the distance, "He should have learned his lesson last time, but obviously Governor Ding didn't take it to heart."
Ji Yunting looked at him sideways, "That makes sense. Should you and I go south together, or should we go separately?"
Song Weiran said: "Between us, I want to go to Lingfeng first."
Ji Yunting's heart skipped a beat, "Do you doubt the Zhao family?"
"It's not a suspicion, just a check or two. Last time, Governor Ding and the Zhao family had a small grudge. The Zhao family has always been quite prestigious among the scholars." Song Weiran said.
Ji Yunting nodded, "It makes sense. It's unusual for so many students to besiege the Governor's Mansion. In that case, I will go straight to the Huizhou Governor's Mansion to attract their attention."
Create opportunities for Song Fanran.
“Thank you, Brother Ji.” Song Weiran clasped his fists and smiled.
“There is no need to be polite between you and me. It’s just that we can’t hide our journey south for long. In order to lure the snake out of its hole, it seems that I will have to reveal my identity after arriving in Huizhou.” Ji Yunting laughed.
Song Weiran looked at Ji Yunting and said, "Brother Ji, you must take care. If your identity is exposed, it will inevitably attract people's attention. Such a major case may lead to death."
“each other.”
He is not safe. Does it mean that Song Weiran, who is deeply involved in Lingfeng, is safe?
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then separated and left at the palace gate.
Yun Zhao only found out the next day that Feng Yi had ordered Ji Yunting to go south with his eldest cousin, and that King Zhenbei had led troops to support Ding Xian from the waterway. He was slightly relieved, but he couldn't help but worry about his eldest cousin.
This trip is dangerous, I hope they can return safely.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
Mrs. Ding has packed her bags and her three children have arrived in Beijing safely.
She called the child to her and looked at Ding Wei first, "Weiwei, mother is going back to Huizhou. You can take good care of your two younger brothers in the capital."
Ding Wei took a step forward, her eyes already filled with determination at such a young age, "Mom, you and daddy will be safe, right?"
Mrs. Ding reached out and touched her daughter's head gently, "We will try our best."
The two younger brothers were still young and obviously did not understand what their mother and sister meant. They only knew that their mother was leaving again, and they could not help but feel unhappy on their faces.
Ding Wei held a younger brother by the hand and said, "I will take good care of my younger brother. Mom, you and dad must come back."
Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "Okay." After saying this, she took out a key and gave it to her, "Put it away."
Ding Wei shook her head.
Mrs. Ding stuffed it into her purse and said, "I leave my two brothers to you."
After Mrs. Ding finished speaking, she hugged the three children and left.
The second update is complete, hey, my little cuties.
