After teasing the emperor, I overturned the car

"Why do you want to come here? I don't want to go..." Chi Yi was full of psychological shadows about the screams he heard before.

"My lord, don't be afraid," Yang Shun held his arm, "Your Majesty only asked you to come here because he was worried that you would be frightened."

Chi Yi didn't understand what he said, so he was dragged into the cell. However, instead of watching the execution this time, he was stuffed with a pile of documents.

"This is the roster of all the prisoners in the cell, and the crimes committed are written on it. The first few pages are intended to be killed, and the latter is for long-term sex. Show it to Mr. Chi."

Show yourself what to do with this?Chi Yi didn't ask any further questions, and opened it casually.This list is really not short, the first few pages are full of crimes such as passing news, poisoning and murder, while the last ones are such trivial things as stealing and fighting.

There are so many life-and-death events in the Gu Kingdom Palace, it is simply a mess.If he was the Chi Yi in the book, he would probably be locked up here right now.

Yang Shundao: "If the palace people make mistakes, they will all be sent here for trial and conviction. If it wasn't for such crimes as disrespecting your superiors and planning to commit crimes, they wouldn't be sentenced to death."

"So what exactly do you want to say?" Chi Yi finished asking, but he understood first.

Before, I watched the execution scene and was frightened to death. I asked the tyrant not to kill me but was rejected.So He Rongchuan asked himself to look at these prisoners again, showing that as long as they don't die, they won't be killed easily.

However, this did not comfort Chi Yi.The original body was not intended to die at all, but was used and then killed as a victim.Even if you do nothing, you can't survive.

The tyrant's kindness was appreciated, but Chi Yi didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment, he just said that he understood, and dragged Yang Shun to escape.

There is a direct road from Da Nei Prison to Zhenghuai Palace, but Yang Shun insisted on taking him around the corner today, to the East and West Six Palaces.Passing through the palaces that were lit with lights, Chi Yi asked casually: "Do you know, Mr. Yang, how many concubines are there in this harem?"

"There are eighteen people alive now." Yang Shun said slowly, "At that time, His Majesty was less than ten years old, and the first queen mother chose concubines for him from a powerful family. At first, there were more than 30 people. Not much. However, His Majesty has never entered the harem these years..."

Chi Yixin said that of course he couldn't do it after all.

"It's not the reason that the young master thought." Yang Shun sighed helplessly, and suddenly stepped forward, moved to his side and lowered his voice: "Don't say it, I think His Majesty doesn't like to be close to people."

Chi Yi blinked in confusion.

"Every night, we servants are unable to enter Zhenghuai Palace. If Mr. Chi hadn't come, His Majesty would still be living in it alone. Think about it, how could he allow a woman to stay by his side?"

"But...why?"

"That's something we can ask." Yang Shun's expression was tangled, and his voice became lower and lower, "Your Majesty, he... had a hard life in the past, and many things are different from us, so he can understand it. If Mr. Chi wants to know, just ask Well, if His Majesty refuses to tell others, he will definitely tell Young Master you."

The book only explained He Rongchuan's background, not much about his past.He definitely didn't dare to ask, Chi Yi just didn't understand, since He Rongchuan didn't let eunuchs and concubines into his house, why did he just allow himself to live there all the time?

If it is to perfuse Prime Minister Yao, you can go there every few days, or leave after sitting for a while.Is there another purpose?

Chi Yi knocked himself on the head, but his political savvy was still not good enough, he couldn't figure this out.

……

After Chi Yi left Zhenghuai Palace, He Rongchuan, who moved to work in the Nuan Pavilion, moved back.As soon as he entered the room, he saw the empty medicine bowl on the table, recalling what happened last night, he couldn't help laughing.

After listening to Chi Yi's nonsense, he sent someone to ask the imperial physician, and only then did he know what kind of medicine that bowl was.The imperial doctor said that this is an aphrodisiac, not a drug, just pay attention to the reaction of the body, regardless of the thoughts in the mind.

Hearing this, a thin layer of fear gradually rose in He Rongchuan's heart, probably because of fear, he almost strangled that person to death because of this matter.

Aphrodisiacs...a lot of guts.

The murderer's hand was not pinched, and the anger turned into the arrangement in the cell this morning.The death row inmates who were convicted a few months ago have been delayed from being killed, just to be brought out at this time.

Originally, I just wanted to hit him to make him calm down a little, but unexpectedly it scared him like that.People who have been born and died in the midst of thousands of troops, actually pretend to be so weak, it can be said that they have tried their best.

Since Chi Yi wanted to pretend, he was willing to coax.

The case was full of official documents to be processed, and He Rongchuan flipped the paper over, unable to read a single word.

Complicated and unfamiliar feelings shrouded his heart. He was worried that when the day came to kill, he would be like last night, because of unimportant reasons.

"If you ask me, it's true that the concubines were chosen by the Empress Dowager, but she's already passed away! If His Majesty doesn't like it, he should send them away as soon as possible. Are they supposed to be widowed in the palace for the rest of their lives?..."

"Master Chi!"

Hearing Yang Shun call him in horror, Chi Yi had an ominous premonition, turned around with his neck stiff, and saw He Rongchuan raised his eyes from a stack of official documents.

I haven't been away for long, how come he just came back at this time...

Chi Yi was quite embarrassed, and opened his mouth to consider the words of pleading guilty, but the other party seemed not to want to listen, and said in a deep voice: "The spies came to report, after Yao Han returned home, he called several people to discuss matters, except for the few people you wrote, his confidants It's all here."

Chi Yi chewed on the news, his eyes lit up.This shows that Prime Minister Yao more or less believed in his sowing dissension.

And now that he can hear this news, it means that He Rongchuan has more or less believed that he is not with Prime Minister Yao.

After eating and drinking for nothing for so many days, he, the official (male pet) of the Four Emperors (Emperor) finally found a little value in existence.

He Rongchuan didn't wait for him to respond, and changed the subject: "I will ask Yang Shun to show you the files in the camp tomorrow, and Xu Jian has already greeted you. If you understand it, go there."

It was only then that Chi Yi remembered that he still had the burden of investigating the case, and nodded in response, but his mind was full of what happened in the prison just now, and those unfavored concubines in Liugong.

After the table case, He Rongchuan buried himself in a stack of memorials, with a very focused expression on reviewing the official documents.Chi Yi stared at him blankly, and suddenly wanted to tell him the truth.

I want to tell him that driving away everyone around him is simply destroying his own life.If he had saved his life through exhaustion, but he chose to spend the rest of his life like this, Chi Yi would be pissed off by him.

But if you say this, you might really die.

Chi Yi thought it was better to go back to his little bed, and finally said before leaving: "Then you too... Your Majesty also go to bed earlier."

The people in the pile of papers raised their eyes, Chi Yi didn't like the scrutinizing cold gaze, and hurried away.

But he heard a faint voice behind him: "Understood."

……

The next day, Chi Yi spent the whole morning studying the military camp information in the room, and found that this day happened to be the day when the monthly rations were paid, so he immediately decided to go to the military camp in the afternoon.

Since returning to the capital, he has been confined in the palace, and this is the first time he has gone out.Chi Yiming's ostensible identity was an official, so no one would stop him from going out of the palace. Yang Shun even prepared a magnificent car for him to drive him through the bustling market to the outskirts of the military camp.

General Xuanwei Xu Jian is commanding the central army of the Gu Kingdom court. This army used to accompany He Rongchuan in the rebellion. Now that there is no war, they are kept in the suburbs of Beijing for emergencies.

In the original book, the method of payment of military pay was changed, and Xu Jian felt that the emperor was squeezing his soldiers, so he became lazy.Soon, Gu State's neighbor Pure State invaded, Xu Jian passively fought and was beaten to pieces.

After that war, although the country of Gu was not subjugated, the people everywhere were in dire straits, and the disordered borders gave birth to the peasant uprising that later wiped out the country of Gu.

But now, he, Chi Yi, is coming to change everything.

Xu Jian was very enthusiastic and put down his work to take him around the barracks.Chi Yi was very embarrassed, and forcibly drove the general away, and went to the school ground where the rations were paid by himself.

In the open space, the generals set up several desks with ledgers and coins on them, and the soldiers lined up in battalions to receive their salaries.Chi Yi was patrolling among the ranks, and the grassroots soldiers received between two taels and three taels of silver every month. This was a salary that was enough to support the whole family. He really didn't understand what else these people were dissatisfied with.

When walking around, Chi Yi heard a lot of people whispering, his eyes were erratic and his expressions were complicated, and it seemed that what they were talking about was not a good thing.Sure enough, not long after, a soldier who was receiving the army's salary quarreled with the general who was paying the money.

"I should get two, two or four dollars a month, why did I lose two dollars for no reason?!"

"These two moneys are food expenses. You don't have money for meals in the camp?"

"But I never charged for food before!"

"It was accepted before, but it was deducted when it was delivered by the Ministry of War, so you don't know. Now we accept it, and it's the same. You don't take less than before, do you?"

"Yes, but..."

At this time, a handsome-looking soldier said loudly: "Don't ask, Lao Li, where the deducted money went, don't we all know it well?"

Chi Yi was unhappy when he heard this, and stood up and said, "Then tell me, where did the deducted money go?"

The man paused for a moment, looking mysterious, but his voice was not low at all: "I saw two eunuchs in the camp two days ago... We are a military camp here, how could there be eunuchs here?... Do you understand? .”

The people around were stunned, but Chi Yi was so angry that he took two steps forward and stared at the man, "You mean, the deducted money was sent to the palace?"

"I didn't say that, but the clear one clears itself, and it's self-evident."

Chi Yi saw that this was not good. This person said that the money was sent to the palace in front of everyone. Not only would it not have a good influence, but it would not be safe, and some people would believe it. This has to be refuted.

"The camp charges one person and two dollars for food. After deducting this person's whole month's rations, there is only a little scum left. How poor is the palace to be greedy for this cheap? Besides, if you really want to get money from the army, you can directly Wouldn’t it be enough to lower the salary, and it’s worth giving it to you first and then getting it back? The Central Army is related to the safety of the country, who would take such a big risk for a little money?”

After Chi Yi finished speaking in one breath, seeing people around nodded, he patted the handsome soldier, and said with a bright smile, "Twenty taels of silver a month, enough to eat and warm, not enough, and want to seek death? Hearsay spread Rumors, are you curious about the methods of torturing people in the palace?"

The soldier was so choked that he couldn't say anything, and the troublemaker also took the money and left.Chi Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and listened to the general who handed out the money: "Young Master Chi is right, how could the palace be greedy for money from the military camp, those people are just talking nonsense."

Chi Yi wished he could sew this man's mouth shut.

"Young Master Chi?" Everyone whispered, "Isn't this the male favorite who climbed the bed in the palace..."

"Seeing how handsome he is, it must be him."

"Shouldn't he be in the harem? Why did he come to the barracks?"

The handsome soldier said loudly: "It turns out that he is Chi Yi, no wonder he defends everything. Those who come from the palace are not good things!"

His shout exploded, and the nearby soldiers began to point and point at Chi Yi.

After Chi Yi listened, the group of people chattered back and forth, but they didn't scold any substantive content. Anyway, if he became the emperor's male favorite, he must be a bad person who will bring disaster to the country and the people, so his words are not credible.

He couldn't explain the dialectical relationship between the emperor's male favor and the disaster of the country and the people to a group of angry ancient people, so he simply said: "You don't need to like me, but I am ordered to inspect the affairs in the camp, and you must cooperate. From tomorrow, I will door to door..."

"You villain, you dare to investigate us?! A punch from your grandpa—"

A soldier threw away the money he had just received, and ran towards Chi Yi with his fists waving.Chi Yi dodged in a panic, avoiding the vital point, but was still scratched by the fist on the face.

"Come on, brothers, beat him up!"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, but there were really a few brave ones who rolled up their sleeves and showed their eyes that they planned to tear Chi Yi apart.

Chi Yi rubbed his face and assessed the situation in the arena. A group of strong men wanted to beat him, and he was helpless. Originally, Xu Jian sent two followers to follow him, but now he didn't know where to hide...

So he made the wisest decision——

Pull your legs and run.

A group of strong men followed closely behind.

The scene has gotten out of control, and group fights are imminent.Chi Yi was thinking for a while how to protect his neck when he was beaten, when he suddenly noticed a few figures approaching not far away, the tall one at the head was very familiar——

He Rongchuan? !

Why is he here? !
