Yan Sikong returned home, took out a few treasures, handed them to Ali, asked him to pawn them in several pawnshops, and then exchanged the silver for bank notes.
Although nothing happened right now, he was used to planning for a rainy day.
He also hoped that everything was just his overthinking. Maybe when Feng Jianping returned to the capital, he just handed over part of his military power and let the court reduce part of its military equipment, which would calm the disputes. It won't change. He hoped that Feng Jianping would not take this risk, because the price of the risk could be fatal.
As Yan Zilian said, on the second day, Emperor Zhaowu issued an edict, saying that because the empress dowager's ominous ceremony was not grand enough and damaged filial piety, it made heaven angry, so not only must the mausoleum be re-selected, but also all the vassal princes within a thousand miles away from the capital , returned to Beijing to express condolences, and was about to leave immediately.
This decree can be said to stir up thousands of waves with one stone. Emperor Zhaowu's character is indecisive, and he has never been so tough in doing things. It cannot but make people doubt the purpose behind it.
But since the imperial decree has been issued, those who are ministers should obey their orders. A dozen or so heralds left Beijing quickly and rushed to the locations of various vassal kings.
Yan Sikong didn't know how Feng Ye was thinking, the two dared not meet during the day, they could only wait until late at night, if they hesitated, the imperial decree would arrive before Feng Ye's secret letter, how Feng Jianping would make a decision at that time, They have nothing at all.
But he waited all night, Feng Ye did not come to him.
Rumors spread everywhere in Beijing, and most people thought that Feng Jianping might not come back. If he really didn't come back, he was destined to lead to a big battle. How could it not be disturbing? Method.
After another two days, Feng Ye appeared in front of Yan Sikong.
Yan Sikong poured a pot of strong tea every day, afraid that he would fall asleep, he was eager to see Feng Ye, and wanted to know what decision Feng Ye had made.
Feng Ye obviously had trouble sleeping and eating these days, and his eye circles were black and blue.
Yan Sikong looked at him anxiously, even though he was usually eloquent, but now he could only wait in silence.
Feng Ye spoke in a low voice: "I wanted to go back to Jingshan camp yesterday, but was stopped by the city gate guard."
Yan Sikong's heart tightened: "For what reason?"
"There is no reason." Feng Ye narrowed his eyes, "I want to discuss with General Zhao, but the emperor has not allowed me to leave Beijing."
"The letter..."
"I have ordered someone to send it out quietly, but I don't know if I can hurry up before the imperial decree." Feng Ye sighed, "You are right, if my father comes back, I am afraid there will be more or less bad luck, but... But, 'rebellion', what? It's a child's play." Knowing that there was no one around, he subconsciously lowered his volume when he said those two words.
"Of course it's not a joke, but a serious crime against the Nine Clans." Yan Sikong said solemnly, "I dare not even mention it unless the situation is compelling."
"I know." Feng Ye closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows wearily. When he put down his hands and opened his eyes, the pupils had become extremely sharp, "I thought hard all night, and left a secret message in the letter , I advise my father not to return to the court, if he decides to make trouble, I will have my own way to escape from the capital."
Yan Sikong felt his heart beating wildly, and he stared straight at Feng Ye: "I still say that, life and death go hand in hand."
"I have asked Xue Bo to prepare to leave the capital as soon as we get the news." Feng Ye took Yan Sikong's hand, "When you stay in the capital, you must be careful in everything."
"Don't worry, you and I are invincible if we cooperate with each other." Yan Sikong was trembling all over, but his eyes were extremely determined.
Feng Ye hugged Yan Sikong into his arms: "Are you afraid?"
Yan Sikong smiled wryly, "Aren't you afraid?"
Feng Ye also smiled: "I haven't felt scared for a long time, but the moment I made the decision, I was really scared."
Yan Sikong raised his head, held Feng Ye's face in his hands, looked at it for a while, and then gently kissed his lips. The two kissed passionately yet tenderly, as if they could absorb each other's warmth just by touching each other's lips and teeth. Come and warm each other. There are thousands of things in the world, only the people in front of you are the most precious.
"Kong'er, don't be afraid, if my Feng family wins the world, I will fulfill all your wishes." Feng Ye stroked Yan Sikong's cheek, "You and I join hands, as we said when we were children, to open peace Enjoy the prosperity."
Yan Sikong nodded vigorously, his eyes were burning with hunting fireworks. He said: "Do you really have a way to leave Beijing safely?"
"From the day I returned to the capital, I started to prepare for myself. Now there are dead soldiers in every link. Once I get the password, I will prepare everything for me. I dare not say that it will be safe, but it should be No problem." Feng Ye frowned, "It's just that Hun'er and Zui Hong are still in Jingshan, so I can't leave Hun'er behind anyway."
"It's inconvenient for you to go out of the city now, can you send Xue Bo to take Hun'er to a safe place?"
"I'm afraid the whole palace is being watched by people now. I came out from a secret passage, and it's not safe for Xue Bo to go out."
"Is there anyone else who can do it?"
"Hun'er only recognizes me and Xue Bo." Feng Ye said, "Now we can only wait and see, anyway, they are safe in Jingshan, as long as I can escape smoothly, I will definitely go back to pick them up."
Yan Sikong felt relieved: "After you leave Beijing, we can contact through She Zhun."
Feng Ye curled his lips, reluctantly, but he didn't say yes or no.
"Datong is more than 600 miles away from the capital. If you march quickly, you can reach it within ten days. However, the capital has 30,000 garrison troops. Ten days is enough to gather at least 60,000 troops for King Qin. If this matter is to be secure, General Zhao Fuyi must cooperate. Just do it."
"He used to be my father's old department, but I'm afraid..." Feng Ye shook his head, "Konger, it's actually too early to talk about this now."
"Too early?" Yan Sikong asked back.
Feng Ye said solemnly: "You forgot one most important thing."
"what?"
"What if my father returns to Beijing?"
Yan Sikong was stunned: "With His Highness's wisdom and courage, he will not throw himself into the net bar."
"You don't know my father." Feng Ye said solemnly, "I don't know how he will choose."
Yan Sikong felt even more uneasy.
