Everything in the renovated imperial study was as usual, but when Feng Zhiwei stepped over the threshold, she was extraordinarily cautious, which made Emperor Tiansheng smile.
Ning Yi was sitting on the armchair, his posture and expression were a little lazy, and his complexion was a little pale. On a cold day, there was a brocade cushion behind his back, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, and against the black eyes, he gave birth to an elegant expression. With a somewhat bewildering Qingli, Feng Zhiwei was surprised that Ning Yi was still in the palace at such a late hour, unexpectedly Ning Yi raised his eyes to look over, the two of them made eye contact, and immediately stepped aside.
The servant brought ginseng soup, Tian Shengdi handed a cup to Ning Yi himself, and motioned him not to get up, "Keep it well, don't move."
Feng Zhiwei was startled, never heard that this guy was sick.
"Thank you, father." Ning Yi still bowed his body, drinking the ginseng soup slowly, not looking at Feng Zhiwei.
Feng Zhiwei felt that her recently weak waist was starting to ache again, but she smiled brightly, and handed over the scroll in her hand.
The rolls of paper were spread out on the desk, and Emperor Tiansheng was overjoyed when he saw it: "The South China Sea pirate map!"
Feng Zhiwei signaled Yan Huaishi—brother, it's time for you to appear on stage.
"Your Majesty, this is a map of the distribution of pirate forces in the South China Sea drawn by the Yan family in the South China Sea based on years of poor manpower and material resources, based on years of business dealings at sea." Yan Huaishi said succinctly, "The pirates in the South China Sea are all in it."
This time even Ning Yi leaned over to take a closer look, and then glanced at Feng Zhiwei, who smiled honestly at him.
"Okay!" Emperor Tiansheng slapped the table and praised, "Yi'er, go to Haoyunxuan's document office immediately, copy this picture and send it to General Nanhai... wait... why are there so few?"
He stared blankly at the picture, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and a sudden look gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Bastard!"
After a long while, Emperor Tiansheng suddenly slapped the desk table, causing the palace lantern to overturn and the book slips toppled over. The servant hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
"The Chang family is so shameless!" The veins on Tian Shengdi's forehead were twitching, "He has been suppressing such a few pirates for so many years and still can't get rid of them, and he still asks the imperial court for money and food every year to expand the quota! What is the number of bandits he reported every year!"
"I'm afraid it's the heads of innocent people in the South China Sea." Feng Zhiwei added fuel to the fire.
Emperor Tiansheng shook his hand, his lips trembled in anger, but he turned to Ning Yi, "What do you think, Yi'er?"
Ning Yi took the picture and said calmly: "Chang's disobedience is already a conclusion, now it's just an obvious crime...Since Mr. Wei asked for this picture at night, there must be a clever plan, Father might as well listen to it."
Eyes glanced over the top of the map, just as they met Feng Zhiwei who was looking over, they exchanged glances again and each of them fell away.
Both of them knew that pirates in the South China Sea were known to be rampant for many years, so every year the imperial court allocated money and food there, and replenished soldiers every year. As a result, three of the annual income went to the South China Sea. The Chang family in the South China Sea also dominated because of these forces On the one hand, even the neighboring Southern Fujian chief envoys are very rich. Now that the Yan family exposed the pirates, it might be the trick of the Chang family. In the future, the Chang family will fall, and the power of the successor will be greatly reduced. However, it happened that it was Ning Yi who was going to take over the position of General Minnan this time.
Feng Zhiwei didn't believe that Ning Yi couldn't think of this, but this man didn't obstruct him, he generously allowed her to act and gave her a chance, which was beyond her expectation, and the words he had originally planned were useless.
Ning Yi lowered his eyes, and slowly skimmed off the froth on the tea... You want to go up desperately, but I don't have any sense in trying to force it. If that's the case, I'll just convince you in the field you are best at.
The eyes met for only a moment, and the next moment Feng Zhiwei smiled and said: "Why waste the imperial troops and send heavy troops from Lingshuiguan to the South China Sea? Not only is it laborious and expensive, but once the west line of Lingshuiguan is mobilized, it may also cause the adjacent Changning Fan is not stable. In fact, most of the local big families in the South China Sea have made a fortune by doing business along the sea route. They have been harassed by the Chang family and pirates for many years, and they have long wanted to serve the country. Now, as long as His Majesty gives them a title, these families alone The combination of the guards of the two is enough to wipe out the group of young people who do not have the support of the Chang family. In this way, the court saves money and does not move the army. "
"Okay." Emperor Tiansheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Feng Zhiwei and Yan Huaishi with a smile, "Since that's the case, I will ask the cabinet to draw up a charter tomorrow. If you have a heart, I appreciate it."
Feng Zhi smiled, said a few words, my emperor Shengming immediately stood up and said goodbye, Ning Yi also stood up, and said: "I will send off my family's heroes."
"My family" was said in a low voice with a smile, Feng Zhi slightly turned his head away, but Emperor Tiansheng didn't feel anything, he was spared a war and money, he was in a good mood, he waved his hand and let people go, thinking about it After thinking about it, he urged, "Are you recovering from your injury, be careful."
Feng Zhiwei curled her lips, thinking that this person is pretending again.
When the group of people went out, Ning Yi walked very slowly, Feng Zhiwei was very impatient, but had to wait patiently for him to rub slowly together, Ning Yi glanced at her calmly, thinking that this person is the best, pretending , Very fake, very fake, because it is very fake, so I will never act willfully, very good, very good.
He watched Feng Zhiwei obediently following him with his head down, taking three steps, with a gentle smile on his face, but his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and he felt very happy, very happy.
Yan Huaishi looked wrong, and quickly pretended that he didn't know the way, and ran away like flying with the servants. The rest of the servants were very discerning, and followed from a distance, a mile away.
There was no one around, Feng Zhiwei stopped pretending.
She crossed Ning Yi with a swish, walked quickly in front of him, smiled and said: "Hehe, I dare not bother the prince to see you off, hehe, please stop, please stay, I will go on my own, goodbye, goodbye."
The sleeve was suddenly grabbed by someone, Feng Zhiwei was not surprised, she slammed her elbow back in a flash, and heard an "Ouch" from behind, she ignored it and continued to run forward, but Ning Yi didn't let go, and pulled her back with all her strength. She pulled it over, and this pull touched Feng Zhiwei's waist, and Feng Zhiwei also let out an "ouch".
She leaned on her waist and "hissed" to inhale, Liu Mei turned her head upside down, but saw Ning Yi leaning against the wall with a pale face, and couldn't help inhaling.
The two looked at each other, and one asked, "Are you really hurt?"
One asked: "What's wrong with you?"
