It was getting colder and Li Ye stayed at home and couldn't leave. The end of the year was approaching, and Kyoto was in full swing.

Wangjiang Tower has become more and more popular these days, and can earn a net profit of 30 to 40 taels a day. And the benefits are not only these. For a time, "The Story of the Storm on November 4th" spread throughout Kyoto. Many people also remembered the old things and thought about the deity of King Xiao. In the past few days, some people have given gifts to the royal palace, including his theoretical guardian, the emperor's uncle Li Yu, and various nobles, all of whom are dealt with by Yan Bian. After all, his personality is unreasonable. How could a playboy who is a fool do these things?

In just a few days, all kinds of gifts of gold and silver were converted into more than 3,000 taels! The palace was full of joy.

For Li Ye, hiding behind the scenes is always the safest. This is not only a biological instinct, but also a very effective means of self-protection.

Once you are underestimated by a potential enemy, the challenges faced by real things will be greatly reduced, because the opponent will relax psychologically. Don’t underestimate this narrow psychological gap. Small gaps will often lead to huge differences.

He writes, practices martial arts, teaches Qiu'er and Yue'er math every day, and then goes to Tingyulou from time to time. After Degong lost chess that day, he would come to him to play chess, but he couldn't win at once. He was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him several times, and he hinted that he wanted to respect the elderly and love the young, but unfortunately Li Ye was just merciless.

Chen Yu even attracted a large number of literati and poets to Tingyulou. He was a third-rank official in the court and sentenced to the Imperial College in Tokyo. He went to the third floor and watched the original works, making the poems more famous. For a time, if he didn't know about "The Wind and Rain Works on November 4th" in Kyoto, he would be embarrassed to go out.

A few days later, Li Ye received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was actually sent by Gillian. This surprised Li Ye a little. He said that he would hold a Yiyuan poetry meeting in the Wang family's Yihua Garden before the New Year, but he invited him to the appointment.

Li Ye understood that this was probably because Gillian showed good things to him. After all, he helped the girl turn off her marriage with him. Only then did he realize that the girl who only poured wine for him and cried was also a famous talented woman in Kyoto. When she first saw her, she seemed to sing lyrics to her grandfather, so Li Ye misunderstood that she was a concubine. Now that she thought that it might be a lyrics she made by herself, she sang them out for comments to De Gong. He didn't understand, how could he hear it was a new or an old one?

Li Ye was not interested in any poetry, and he was more willing to talk to Wang Yue, the old man with more knowledge. He wrote poems, but they were all written by others. After writing, they were framed and hung in his own room. This atmosphere was very good and made people quiet.

.........

The lights are bright in Changchun Hall. The winter night is long, and the sky is still bright at this time. It is already full of court officials. All those who stand are purple robes, holding jade scepters. The top is red and gold dragon robe, pearls and jade ears, and twelve jade tassels and black crowns are the current emperor.

The ministers standing in front below have been arguing for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the defeated general's words are all temptations. Our dynasty spends a lot of money to support the Guanbeixiang Army every year to prevent the disaster of the northern army. The so-called "raising troops for a thousand days" is used for a moment, but when it is used, the Guanbei Army will be defeated at once. As the commander, Wei Chaoren is a great dereliction of duty and cannot be forgiven lightly!" The person speaking was a slightly fat old man holding a jade scepter and a purple gold robe, ranking first among civil officials, and was the assistant to the political affairs of Yu Cheng'an.

The emperor nodded: "It's reasonable."

"Victory and defeat are common affairs of military affairs. Who can decide on the battlefield? Although Wei Chaoren's defeat was a mistake, there were also disasters of the times. Please think twice. The land in the north of Guanbei has suffered many years of war. Wei Chaoren's border has been as good as a day. It was a great contribution to no major disaster before!" The old man who spoke was the first of the military generals, thin and tall, with a sense of elegance. You can tell that he was a martial artist who practiced martial arts by looking at his straight backbone and raised bones. This person was the Privy Councilor of the current dynasty, the Grand General Tomb Daoyu.

The emperor nodded again, pressing the corner of the wings of the wings, and he was reluctant to make a decision.

Seeing this, Yu Cheng'an stepped forward and spoke again: "Master Tomb's words have their own reasons. No one can decide the number of victory or defeat. But if the priests are granted for granting the priest and despise them, the land in the north of Guanbei will be fearless in the hearts of the land in the future, and the guards are loose, and despising dereliction of duty. How can the northern border be safe at that time? I ask Your Majesty to severely punish Wei Chaoren to serve as a warning to others, to intimidate the northern border, and to safeguard the country!"

He spoke earnestly, every word of heartfelt words, and for a while, the ministers in the hall whispered, all thinking that this was the case.

Zhong Daoyu frowned and bowed: "Your Majesty, Wei Chaoren is a sincere and loyal and brave man. He was just a temporary mistake and did not intend to dereliction of duty. Please give your Majesty a clear guide."

"Single mistakes? If there are tens of thousands of troops, the innocent people of the twelve city barriers are just temporary mistakes. Is Lord Chung a little too heartless?" Yang Hongzhao, commander standing in front of the hall behind Zhong Daoyu, said, "He was back and waist, looking around forty years old.

Zhong Daoyu glanced at him, his face did not change color and did not argue.

The emperor waved his hand and said to the man in red robe standing in front of all officials: "Crown Prince, what do you think about this?"

The prince called out a red robe, holding a jade scepter, and his eight-character goat beard looked sharp and thin. He looked thirty to forty years and was thin. He stepped forward and saluted respectfully before answering: "My son-in-law thinks what Lord Yu said is reasonable. If the defeated general is not severely punished, it will not be enough to shock the ministers. There may be new defeats in the future."

Hearing this, Zhong Daoyu behind sighed and closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The emperor asked again while holding the case, "He Zhao, what do you think about this matter?"

He Zhao walked sideways with a half-step, holding a tablet and saying, "Your Majesty, I have never been aware of military affairs, I do not understand border defense, and I have never been to the bitter and cold places in the north of the Guanbei, so I dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor waved his hand in disappointment and asked him to retreat, and then said, "He Aiqing is the most upright and always speaks out loud. Today's matters are hard to stop. I originally wanted to hear your opinions."

As he said that, the old emperor stood up and walked to the side of the Jin case: "I have heard all the opinions of all parties and have some idea of ​​them. Today's discussion will end here."

"Your Majesty..." Yu Chengan was so anxious that he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor's father-in-law's loud "retreat" and quickly bowed his head and watched the emperor leave. The matter of Wei Chaoren was left unresolved again.

Yu Chengan looked at Zhong Daoyu with a calm expression on the side from afar, and then walked out of the hall gate. It was just dawn, and a little eunuch hurried over and said to him in a low voice: "Master Yu, the prince is welcome, please sit in the East Palace."

Yu Chengan nodded: "You go back and tell the prince that he is wearing court clothes at this time and it is inconvenient to enter the Eastern Palace. When I go home and change my clothes, I will come."

The little eunuch nodded and hurried away.

Yu Chengan looked at the red sun in the sky and murmured to himself: "My scenery is magnificent and beautiful, and I must be protected by us!"
