Rong Changan knew that Yan Li's decision must be beyond her expectations, but she still looked at Yan Li with a smile in her eyes.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Yan Liyi has no hesitation: "No matter what kind of position I take, the purpose is the same. It is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is safe and peaceful. Now the people are suffering from drought. If I can't lend a helping hand to save the people from the fire, even if the position in the future No matter how high you are, it will also be a stain on your life. Therefore, I cannot accept your opinion!"
"Are you really thinking about it?" Rong Changan asked.
Yan Li said: "Think it over, you don't have to persuade me on this matter."
Rong Changan knew that Yan Li would make such a decision, and since that was the case, there was no need for her to persuade her.
"Then you go!"
Suddenly, a pleading light flashed in Yan Li's eyes: "Can you promise me one thing?"
Rong Chang'an said, "What is it?"
Yan Li sighed, wondering if he would be safe after the conflict between the two, "Don't tell the third person my identity, okay?"
Rong Changan smiled: "After getting along for so long, am I such a villain in your heart? Even if I tell others, will you admit your identity?"
A trace of panic flashed across Yan Li's face, but it was only fleeting, and soon he regained his composure.
"I don't admit it or deny it, but if you say it, things will go bad!"
That was natural, if the suspicious Li Hai heard that Yan Li, the censor next to him, was actually the former prince, Li Hai would never let him go, no matter whether he was really the former prince or not.
Rong Changan asked in a probing tone: "What if I don't agree?"
In order to save the common people, for his own ideals, he will not be soft, even if he has an inexplicable affection for the woman in front of him.
"This sentence, you should ask the sword in my hand."
Yan Li raised the three-foot sword in his hand, the sword was ferocious and bloodthirsty.
Rong Changan snorted coldly: "I see!" Then she turned and went back to the bedroom, and when she looked back again, Yan Li had disappeared.
The next day, Yan Li invited the prefect and governor to sit in the reception hall of the post house. The two are the highest officials in this state and county, and corruption and fraud must have something to do with them.
Because there was a rule in previous dynasties that women should not be involved in politics, Rong Changan could only sit in the back of the living room, drinking fragrant tea while listening to what Yan Li had to say to the two chief executives outside.
The two chief executives had long heard about the empress riding a horse among the victims. At first they thought that the empress would come to rescue the disaster in person and would definitely investigate the corruption, but now it seems that the empress and they are also on the same path, so their inner worries have been relieved a lot. Since the empress is a kindred spirit, then Yan Yushi should be similar. It is said that like attracts like and divides people into groups!
There were only the prefect, the governor, and Yan Li in the living room. Just after taking two sips of tea, the governor and the prefect met each other's eyes. The governor walked over first, and put the pre-prepared gift in front of Yan Li.
"Your Majesty Yushi came all the way from the capital. We don't have any decent gifts. It contains Ganoderma lucidum unique to the Northwest, which is priceless. Please accept it, Lord Yushi!"
Yan Li picked up the tea, glanced sideways at the governor, took a sip slowly, then put down the teacup, and said sarcastically, "Since it is priceless, I guess Mr. Governor must have spent a lot of money to buy it, right?"
A hint of complacency and coldness flashed across the assassin's face. At that time, he didn't spend any money to get this Ganoderma lucidum, but he let his family of five be burned alive in the house.
"No matter how much money is spent, it should be dedicated to Lord Yushi." The governor said in a low voice.
Yan Li coughed and coughed, and looked coldly at the prefect who was about to move in his seat: "What about you? What gift will you give me?"
As soon as the prefect heard Yan Li's words, he wished he could step in front of Yan Li and kneel down for him.
"Master Yushi, this is one hundred thousand taels of flying money. You accept it and go back to the capital to exchange it. This is also for the officials to honor you."
The prefect took out a piece of flying money from his sleeve and put it on the table beside Yan Li. Yan Li looked at it, and there was the words "Flying Qian One Hundred Thousand Taels of Hengtong Bank" written on it in regular regular script. In other words, if you take this flying money and return to the capital, you can exchange it for 100,000 taels of snowflake silver at Hengtong Bank.
With so much money, it can be seen that the prefect took great pains! I don't know how much that Ganoderma lucidum is worth!
If one hundred thousand taels of silver is used to buy rice and noodles for disaster relief, how many people will be saved!
Thinking of the way he saw starvation and resentment all over the place on the way, Yan Li couldn't help feeling angry.
He stood up from his seat, with his hands behind his back, walked towards the door, and then walked back. Looking at the huge banner "Integrity and Integrity" written on the gable of the main hall, he couldn't help sneering twice.
Hearing Yan Li's sneer, the two senior members trembled slightly, looked at each other, and frowned, wondering why the censor in front of him was laughing. Could it be that he has a lot of money and he is happy from the bottom of his heart? Or was the money a little low, and he felt humiliated, so he laughed
The governor rolled his eyes, took another step forward with his right foot, and said with a smile: "Master Yushi, I still have fifty thousand taels of flying money, which is also from Hengtong Bank. I hope Mr. Yushi will accept it." .”
Pressing Feiqian on the table, the governor took a step back.
"You two are so rich!" Yan Li's cold and slightly hoarse voice made the two people behind him feel the coldness from the capital.
"Where! Where!" The governor said with a smile, "This is our salary for more than ten years..."
It's not that Yan Li has never studied arithmetic. According to the salary regulations of the current dynasty, the ten-year salary of the eunuchs and governors must be less than one hundred thousand taels. The money on the table is nothing more than extortion from the common people.
In fact, in the entire Li Dynasty, there were not only these two people behind Yan Li who were corrupt officials! There are too many. Yan Li originally had no intention of restoring the country, but when he saw that the officials under Li Hai's rule were extremely corrupt and the people suffered greatly, he secretly determined to regain the land that belonged to the Yan family and save the people from suffering.
"Except for what you gave me now, how much money does your family have?"
The prefect and the governor didn't know why the censor asked this question, and they showed confusion on their faces: Is it because the money given to him is not enough
"If the censor feels that the filial piety of the subordinates is not enough, I can go home and look for it. Maybe I can find one or two pieces of flying money from the chest and cabinet." The prefect said.
"Then bring it quickly!" Yan Li suddenly sternly shouted.
The prefect and the governor then ran back home one after another, ruthless, and each gave Yan Li another one hundred thousand taels of flying money.
