The day after Nanjing fell, the snow stopped and a clear winter sky appeared.

"The 22 guards are here. Except for Xiaoling Guards who have been guarding the imperial tombs, there is no one in the Jinyi Guard... Only one person died, and the rest of the guards were injured. The Wumen Guards were wiped out. Hu Yanke fled for fear of crime. I temporarily mobilized people from the royal army and filled them into the guards to make up for the vacancy. I will make follow-up arrangements after the military election next year."

"The Jinyiwei has transferred half of the people, and the six shifts are rotated. Four people in each shift follow the emperor. What orders do you have? Tell them directly."

"The deacons in the palace, many palace maids were burned to death by fire. I summoned the remaining people in one place. Because I don't know which ones were the confidants of the Taifu, I removed all the leaders of the sect and asked them to change positions with the father-in-laws in the ancestral temple. The Taimiao is full of old people serving the late emperor. If you change back to the palace, you will be called by the emperor first. It is also a temporary solution. If you change to the general election of the year, you will change new people."

Yun Qi asked again: "Your Majesty, according to what I see, why not let the three keep the whole palace in the palace?"

There were too many things to deal with after the war, and Zhu Di didn't know that Emperor Cheng had so many troubles. Just because of the complex etiquette in the palace, the personnel transfer made him one by one or two.

Zhu Di said: "You have the final say."

Yun Qi said again: "The late emperor set the rules that the Ma surname cannot enter the court. This will be the leader of the corps and supervisors for the rest of his life...?"

Xu Wen said: "Change him a name and give him a surname."

Yun Qi nodded and wrote it down casually. Zhu Di said again: "How are the defenses of the Imperial Guard City?"

Yun Qi said carelessly: "That is not yours, I have to ask Tuoba Feng."

"One hundred and forty-two palaces were burned down by fire, and people have been sent to calculate the damage to calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and buildings. At noon, the Ministry of Works will send a list. The sixteen criminals were imprisoned in the prison, all of which were ordered by the emperor..."

Zhu Di asked alertly: "Have you sent someone to guard it?"

Yun Qi replied: "The remaining half of the Jinyiwei guards are in shifts to guard the imperial prison. Only the emperor can enter in person. No other people are allowed to visit - including me."

Zhu Di said: "Only sixteen people were arrested?"

Yun Qi replied: "No, there are too many people, and the imperial prison cannot be kept. The sixteen people are all formed clerks in the court. Sixteen departments and even six ministries were responsible for party members. A total of 773 people were suspected of having party members. This has not been used to determine the identification method of "Guaman Censoration". The minister only arrested the party leader and was sentenced to the Ministry of Justice last night. Only when he saw the imperial edict was given... "

Xu Wen said suspiciously: "Seven hundred and seventy-three people? Where did the list come from? Why didn't I see it?"

Yun Qi pointed to his head, and Zhu Di laughed and said, "He has been a employed person in the capital for so many years, so he naturally remembers it clearly."

Xu Wen said laughingly: "This is a bit too many. I'm afraid that some of them have not done anything. I'll forgive others and kill more than 700 people..."

Yun Qi said again: "A gentleman is a group of people but not a party. He has formed gangs and factions, and he deserves to be thrown into the prison together. Who told them to form a party? Isn't it?"

Zhu Di retorted: "Women are soft-hearted, don't interrupt. My brother is the most clean and I am very grateful to me."

Xu Wen smiled embarrassedly, yawned, and Zhu Di said, "You go back and rest."

Xu Wen turned around and left, Yun Qi said seriously: "I think it's all right to deal with these things. As long as they don't go too far, the wives and children of these people are innocent..."

Zhu Di interrupted: "Is there a person dead in the Jinyiwei?"

Yunqi replied lightly: "Rongqing."

Zhu Di was moved and said in a daze: "Is the boy from the Rong family dead?! How did he die?"

Yun Qi bowed and replied, "That night the Emperor entered the city, Tuoba Feng knocked Rong Qing unconscious and went to the imperial garden to look for him again the next day... the person was gone." Yun Qi looked at Zhu Di's face as he said.

In fact, even Yunqi himself didn't know where Rong Qing went. Such a living person ran away, so he should have nothing to do with Zhu Di. However, Yunqi still had a vigilance. Looking at Zhu Di's expression, he hoped to find some clues.

If Rongqing's identity is a double spy, he will probably not be able to escape the end of being silenced by Zhu Di.

Zhu Diwei was unhappy and replied coldly after a moment: "The shells do not have eyes, so it must be that there is no bone left."

Yun Qi nodded and picked up his pen to transfer the name of Rong Qing on the list.

Zhu Di said again: "The Rong family will give you some pensions."

Yun Qi nodded and said, "According to the example of the first-class guards' death in battle..."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "When you were not in Nanjing, Rong Qing was the official envoy?"

Yun Qi smiled and said, "Then the pension according to my death..."

"My affairs are over." Yun Qi really couldn't explain why he had discussed Rong Qing's issue with Zhu Di for a long time. He wrote the memorial and placed it in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said: "Where to go?"

Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back to sleep. I entered the city with my senior brother the night before yesterday, and I have never slept until now. I have been working hard for two days and two nights, my brother-in-law."

Zhu Di looked at Yunqi for a while and smiled and said, "It's good that you are there, otherwise you would have to be tossed crazy."

Yun Qi turned around and said, "When Fang Xiaoru was imprisoned or was a prison in heaven? I will go and talk to him now."

Yunqi replied, "Let it go home."

Zhu Di frowned immediately and Yun Qi said, "He won't run away. He is waiting to die at home. Besides, even if he runs away, tens of thousands of imperial guards will chase a cripple, but are you afraid that you won't be able to chase him?"

Yunqi walked out of the hall, and Zhu Di shouted again: "Brother, thank you."

Yun Qi was exhausted. He couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said without looking back: "No thanks! There is Liu Ji's Shaobing Song in the Imperial Study Room. Go and take a look!"

Yun Qi knew very well that Zhu Di's words did not refer to the gratitude that he had done everything from the time he entered Yingtian, but more of the kneeling of the Jinyiwei in the hall.

Zhu Di's throne was quite unpretentious, and he felt uneasy when he sat on it. His vigilant eyes seemed to look at all the people approaching, and ordered them to silence without any doubt.

Yun Qi made a ruthless move and cleaned up all possible opposition voices for him overnight.

Yunqi walked through the Meridian Gate, stopped, and looked at the censors kneeling in the snow and ice.

Each of them looked at death as if they were home, and no less than two hundred people knelt outside the Meridian Gate.

Yun Qi sighed and said, "The dynasty has changed, gentlemen still don't understand? Go back as soon as possible and don't implicate your wife and children."

No one answered, they were all staring at the hall.

Yunqi said again: "If you don't eat toast, you will be punished. Come! You will be sent to the Ministry of Justice prison! Your wife and daughter will be used as prostitutes in the Jiaofangsi!"

The censors were instantly in anger, and the leader shouted: "Xu Yunqi, what right do you have to arrest us! The traitor who sells his master for honor!"

Yun Qi's order was just to fool people. When he saw the censor in charge, he said, "Zhuang Lu? You were shot by the late emperor in the palace, but your wife handed over money to the palace and went to the palace to my senior brother..."

Zhuang Lu's eyes immediately changed, and the followers behind him were talking.

Yunqi said again: "Come!"

This time, the patrol guards from afar came and knelt on one knee and said, "What are the instructions of the uncle?"

Yun Qi said: "These censors have tablets on their hands, and they have all taken them away. They took them to Taichang Temple to find out their residence, raid their homes, take the tablets of their ancestors, and go to Wuyanlou..."

Before the sentence was finished, the censors immediately looked like earth.

"...I sent one to each of the girls in Wuyanlou, and they would sleep with the tablet every night... Hey! Are you not loyal and courageous? Why are you running away!"

Yun Qi was so cheap that he was still behaved and shouted to his escaped back: "Aren't you going to be a desperate advice? Come back! The emperor is coming out!"

"I'm shameless." Yun Qi mocked.

Wuyan Tower... Yunqi stood outside the empty Meridian Gate, and suddenly felt very lonely.

"My uncle."

"Sanbao? When did you come?"

Yun Qi suddenly turned around and looked at Ma Sanbao. Sanbao had already put on a green brocade suit, with an indigo embroidered strap around his waist, unnaturally pulled his collar and said with a smile: "I just came here, I'm so amazing when I saw you teach the censor a lesson."

Yun Qi smiled and said, "He is a great official, Ma Sanbao, the chief minister, looks like a dog."

Sanbao replied embarrassedly: "The prince... the emperor gave Sanbao a surname Zheng, with a single name and a word "he."

Yun Qi nodded, and Sanbao said again: "Uncle, the Queen asked Xiao to send a message and let you rest well and hold a family banquet tonight."

Yunqi asked, "Sister said nothing else?"

Sanbao replied, "My uncle, Sanbao can't change his name. Sanbao in this name is still your servant..." Yun Qi frowned and interrupted, "Don't say this nonsense. Beware of talking too much in the palace. Learn more. Get a car for me. Then I'll do your business. If I don't come tonight, let them eat first."

The snowstorm stopped for a while, the ground was slippery, and the carriage drove out of the capital. Yunqi opened the curtain and looked around for a long time. He couldn't find the person he was looking for, and asked loudly: "Where is Commander Tuoba?!"

When the soldiers on the city tower saw that it was the car from the palace, they hurriedly replied, "The commander has gone out of the city, please ask the uncle for his safety..." Then they came down to welcome him, Yun Qi put down the curtain of the car, and was slightly unhappy, and ordered the coachman: "Get out of the city and go to Zijin Mountain."

There was a layer of white snow on Zijin Mountain. Clouds got off the car on the hillside. Looking up at the bluestone steps leading to the top of the mountain, I chose another road and walked towards the valley.

There is a cemetery in the valley, which is empty at this time, and only a tall man kneeling in front of a grave.

Yun Qi's breath suffocated and recognized that the man was Tuoba Feng.

Tuoba Feng was wearing the armor of the general intel and holding three incense sticks in his hand, kowtowing to the tombstone.

Yunqi hid behind the tree and looked at Tuoba Feng from afar.

Tuoba Feng stared at the tombstone, and a line of red characters were engraved on it: Wen Yuehua's Tomb.

Tuoba Feng lowered his head to pick up the wine jar, filled the wine at the empty cup in front of the tombstone, knelt for a moment, and stood up and left after the incense burned out.

Yun Qi was both sad and happy when he saw it. After Tuoba Feng left for a long time, he went up and kowtowed a few times. He had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. At this moment, his mind was dizzy and could not bear it anymore. He went down the mountain and returned to the palace, entered the room and fell asleep.

The courtyard of Jinyiwei was deserted and quiet. Any guards on duty were in high and fatigued shifts for days, and occasionally someone returned to the yard, they would go straight to each room to sleep. Soon, the sun shone west, and the sky was dim, and the door of the room was pushed open with a "creak".

While half asleep and half awake, Tuoba Feng's arm gently hugged himself.

"I'm very sleepy, don't do it..."

"Senior brother loves you."

"I love you..." Yun Qi replied in a daze.

Tuoba Feng laughed, reached out to touch Yun Qixin's mouth, took out the Qilin jade pendant that he never left, confirmed that it was still there, lowered his head, and put the two jade pendants together to confirm that they were intact.

"Today is your birthday, Yunqi." Tuoba Feng whispered, then took something, swayed in front of Yunqi, and said, "Do you like it?"
