Later, no matter who came to take over Pei County and sent the money back to the imperial court, the person who handled it once would not leave much behind. In the future, Zhao Chao must have a place to spend money, and he must hide his money as much as possible.
The boat had already been arranged to wait there. You Miao showed Li Zhifeng's token and was relieved after sending it out of the city.
In the early morning, You Miao was dozing off in the side hall, and a soldier respectfully said: "Master Li has come to the city. Do you want to talk to him, or continue to sleep?"
You Miao woke up suddenly and yawned. Seeing Li Zhifeng sitting beside him, he regained his senses and asked, "When did you come back?"
"Half an hour ago." Li Zhifeng said: "Pei County is handed over to Big Brother, we can withdraw."
"Let's go." You Miao said, "Order our people and go back to the villa."
You Miao's team was just cooperating, Nie Dan was the main force, and they couldn't take the lead. However, just as they were about to leave, Nie Dan also came back.
"12,000 enemies were wiped out, 4,000 were captured, and 4,000 escaped." Nie Dan said.
You Miao breathed a sigh of relief. The 20,000-strong Xianbei army was defeated in one battle. It was really the emperor who blessed Tianqi. Nie Dan asked again, "Where's the leader, General Valthorn? I want to ask a few words."
You Miao said, "In the backyard, it's tied up."
Nie Dan went to the backyard before he even drank water. Li Yan came back after he left. Li Yan was surrounded by a group of soldiers. When he came, he threw a letter to You Miao and said, "I thought it was true. I really want to make peace, I didn't expect you to come to this trick."
You Miao laughed, opened the letter, and saw that it was a peace negotiation document written by Sun Yu to Li Yan, but there was only one line on it: - When General Nie's internal and external efforts are effective, he can enter the city and receive Pei County.
You Miao laughed and said, "I didn't collude with Mr.
Li Yanpi smiled but said, "You are both an old fox and a little fox. I won't talk to you anymore, where is the warehouse?"
You Miao said lazily, "Ask Big Brother Nie, I don't know."
Li Yan went to find Nie Dan, and as soon as the people left, You Miao got up immediately and said to Li Zhifeng, "Withdraw!"
Then the two went out to gather the soldiers, and instantly slipped away and ran away.
The reception of Peixian County lasted for three days. Nie Dan led the army to fight the most beautiful turnaround since returning to Jiangnan. The people of Yangzhou celebrated and welcomed Nie Dan into the city. Li Zhifeng was awarded 22 taels of gold for his outstanding military exploits.
Twenty taels of gold, You Miao just glanced at it and threw it into the warehouse with a ding dong.
"How is it today?" You Miao said.
"It's all settled down." Li Zhifeng changed into a housekeeper's robe and said, "My eldest brother has made a lot of contributions, and now they're talking about going north."
It's easier said than done, You Miao thought, winning a battle and regaining the entire Central Plains are simply not the same thing. After Li Zhifeng finished speaking, he turned around and went out, You Miao said, "Where are you going?"
"I'll cook for you." Li Zhifeng went to cook and replied.
You Miao followed behind him and asked again, "Didn't you say anything else?"
Li Zhifeng: "The third child said that it will be delayed for two days and will be changed to the fifth day of June to ascend the throne."
Li Zhifeng said that Zhao Chaochao always called "the third child" and "the third child". You Miao was not used to it, and reminded him: "You can't be called like that in the court, or those ministers will eat you..."
Li Zhifeng: "I know."
You Miao: "Did you say anything else?"
Li Zhifeng: "?"
Li Zhifeng washed his hands and cooked, and Mrs. Qian and a few servants who were picking vegetables made room for him.
Li Zhifeng: "In what way?"
You Miao hugged him from behind, lying on his back, while Li Zhifeng rolled up his sleeves to pick vegetables.
"Money." You Miao said tentatively.
Li Zhifeng: "No one knows that you stole the money from Peixian's warehouse, and you don't dare to ask. Don't worry."
You Miao: "… "
Li Zhifeng laughed, and You Miao was very embarrassed and asked, "How did you know?"
Li Zhifeng said happily: "What's more at home, can I not know?"
You Miao suddenly found that Li Zhifeng was much happier recently. Seeing him happy, he was also very happy. After thinking about it, he asked, "Did you mention me, sir?"
Li Zhifeng shook his head.
A soldier from outside came in and asked, "Where's General Huwei?"
Sister Qian shouted, "The general is cooking!"
The soldier came in and said, "General, Lord Lin, the Secretary of Defense of Yangzhou, invites you to the banquet."
"I'm not going." Li Zhifeng said: "Ask Master Huang if he is going."
The soldier left, and Li Zhifeng remembered something that day and said, "You can't go on the day the third son ascends the throne."
You Miao said: "Forget it, I don't have an official position."
Li Zhifeng said, "When I came down today, Pingxi and the others were asking if you were going."
You Miao snorted, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did you talk about me, sir?"
Li Zhifeng said, "No."
At the end of May, someone from Yangzhou came to borrow money again, this time it was Li Yan, the housekeeper in the former mansion.
You Miao knew that the Tang family where Li Yan's wife lived was also a big family. You Miao would not borrow the money, and Li Yan would ask for it from her husband. The second housekeeper still followed Li Yan. But now that you know that You Miao is a celebrity in front of the royal family, she doesn't dare to speak loudly.
"How much?" You Miao asked.
"Twenty thousand taels." The butler replied respectfully, and then he stopped uttering a word. He stood under the corridor outside the hall, his eyebrows lowered, and he didn't say much.
You Miao knew that Li Yan had already known the tricks he was playing in secret that day, and he said that he should not be divided. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You bring 15,000 silver, I'm almost gone."
The housekeeper thanked him, took out Li Yan's seal, and wrote an IOU. You Miao raised his eyes and asked, "The Tang family didn't pay, so bring their young lady back?"
The housekeeper shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "The Tang family doesn't want to pay the money, so if you say it's gone, it's gone."
You Miao was furious when he heard it, but it was not easy to talk about other people's family affairs, so he distributed the silver notes to him and kept the cash for himself. At sunset, Cheng Guangwu came to report again, this time it was news from the city of Yangzhou.
"Young master." Cheng Guangwu stood on the ground and took out a list from his sleeve. Inside was an announcement for the recruitment of students by the Zhengshitang. The full name of the Zhengshitang was Daguang Tianqi Canzhi Zhengshitang. The disciples took the will of the people to ask the government, and it was discontinued after the Emperor Taizu took over the world.
Now Zhao Chao has actually reopened. On the sixth day of June, after the new emperor ascends the throne, a political council will be set up, and the best ones will be recorded.
"Zhengshitang..." You Miao glanced at it, and was about to throw it aside, but suddenly felt strange and asked, "Is there any news in the city? Who gave you this thing?"
Cheng Guangwu respectfully said: "The young man saw the paper being issued outside the yamen, and shouted that all the officials would come, so he went to get Zhang Lai and showed it to the young master. The young master's husband is the minister of political affairs, so naturally he doesn't need to care. of."
You Miao's heart moved, Sun Yu was the political affairs minister, also known as Zaifu, what does it mean to reset the political affairs hall? Promote new people for Zhao Chao? Earlier, Pingxi said that there is still a position of chief secretary in the political affairs hall for him, so Sun Yu will recruit people again, that is, the team led by him
That's all, I'll talk about it when Li Zhifeng comes back.
