"Now that the affairs of Wu and Yue have been decided, do you have anything else to report?"
Li Qian put his hands behind his hands and looked down.
For a moment, no one in the court said a word.
Yan Song stood up again, cupped his hands and said:
"Back to Your Majesty, I have nothing to report."
The civil servants also stood up one after another and raised their hands: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to report..."
The generals also stood up one after another under the leadership of Li Yuan and the others: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to report..."
"Retreat!"
Li Qian waved his hand decisively, stood up from the dragon chair, and left from behind.
All civil and military officials retired from the court one after another.
Fan Li also left among them, but many courtiers looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
He actually hooked up with His Majesty behind our backs?
Especially the military attachés looked at Fan Li with blazing anger!
Today's matter must be related to him!
With Your Majesty's level, it is difficult to come up with such a clever strategy to borrow troops!
Maybe this thief is the mastermind, and it was he who gave His Majesty the idea!
The ministers walked out of the Qianyang Palace, and there were a number of Yulin guards standing on the magnificent jade square, guarding the palace.
A relieved smile appeared on Fan Li's lips, and he walked out briskly.
In the square in front of the temple, the blazing sunlight fell down, making people anxious and unable to hide.
But in Fan Li's eyes, the weather was sunny, windy and clear.
During these days of running around in the capital, I presented beauty Xi Shi to the emperor's harem, and presented countless rare properties to the ministers' homes for care...
He has received more cold looks and grievances these days than he had in the entire previous half of his life!
But with the reinforcements from the court, he felt that it was all worth it!
'Hurry back to Yue and tell the king the news...'
He clenched his fists and stepped a little faster.
Suddenly, a powerful push came from behind.
Fan Li almost flew out, face down, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"How do you walk? You don't have eyes!"
A loud shout came from behind, and a tall and muscular general wearing a scarlet robe glared angrily at Fan Li who fell to the ground.
"Hahaha~"
The laughter of the military attaches came from a distance: "This is how Lord Fan walks!"
"General Yuwen, please be slow, if Master Fan is damaged, we can't afford it!"
"Hmph! It's just a Yue move. Even if the Yue King comes here, what can he do..."
With roars of laughter in his ears, Fan Li supported his body and slowly got up from the ground.
His body was covered with dirt and dust, and his clothes were frayed in several places. Fortunately, his body was not seriously injured.
He raised his head and turned around, smiling apologetically at Yu Wenji: "I bumped into General Yu Wen, and I deserve death. Please forgive me, General."
Yu Wenhuaji frowned and was about to say something else, but some civil servants gradually followed him from behind.
"get out!"
He waved his hand and raised his head grandly: "Spare your life!"
Fan Li immediately bowed: "Thank you, General Yuwen, for your magnanimity."
He did not dare to delay, and immediately turned around and walked quickly outside the palace.
Many generals pointed at his back and laughed loudly.
After leaving the palace, Fan Li quickly ran to his carriage.
The coachman was shocked when he saw him in such a sorry state: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Hurry! Leave Beijing quickly!" Fan Li quickly got into the carriage.
The coachman did not dare to neglect and immediately started driving.
The horses neighed and trampled through the extremely spacious Zhuque Street, heading straight to Qixia Gate in the south of the capital, attracting countless people to exclaim.
"Sir, what's going on? Is the imperial court willing to save our country?"
"The danger of the Yue Kingdom has been resolved, but my danger has arrived. Just leave quickly!" Fan Li said in the carriage.
"Is the imperial court willing to send troops?" The groom turned his head in surprise.
"The imperial court is willing to borrow troops, but if you and I are a few steps slower, we will be killed!"
Fan Li's voice contained a rare hint of urgency.
The groom was convinced of his words, his face tightened, he stopped asking any more questions, and waved his whip a little faster.
Fan Li was sitting in the bumpy carriage, looking at the messy clothes, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said to himself:
"I'm so proud...Your Majesty...I will take the blame for you this time..."
Before, he was immersed in the huge surprise, but after being knocked down by Yu Wenhuaji, Fan Li suddenly understood the cause of the matter.
Although the borrowing of troops this time could relieve the siege of the Yue Kingdom, it offended the generals of the Daqian court.
Those people would definitely think that it was Fan Li who came into the palace at night to give the emperor the idea!
But can he clarify?
Fan Li frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Really can't.
Let’s not say whether others will believe what he said.
To clarify this matter, we must first offend His Majesty the Emperor.
Fan Li subconsciously felt a little resistant to this consequence.
The emperor was not only able to come up with strategies such as borrowing troops, but after a court meeting, he also successfully maintained his image as a coward, placing all the blame for the strategy on himself.
He has already labeled Li Qian as "scheming" and "cunning".
Fan Li felt that if he got a grudge and resorted to means to cancel the loan... then the gain would outweigh the loss.
"Could it be that... His Majesty had already expected that I would come to the palace to ask for an audience?"
On the bumpy carriage, Fan Li frowned, trying to figure out the relationship.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and now it had arrived at Qixia Gate.
This is one of the three gates at the south gate of Daganjing City.
The coachman calmly set up his carriage and followed the flow of people out of the city gate without being stopped by the gatekeeper.
After leaving the city, he suddenly accelerated and ran along the road to the southeast. His horse's hooves raised smoke and dust all the way, causing countless pedestrians to be surprised.
The weather in summer is unpredictable, and the blazing sun has disappeared behind a cloud at some point.
The sky gradually became a bit gloomier.
Fan Li poked his head out of the carriage, looked at the majestic capital city getting farther and farther behind him, and sighed quietly.
An emperor with such a deep city and restless ministers.
Compared with the capital city, Longtan Tiger's Nest can be regarded as a peaceful and peaceful place.
At this moment, Fan Li had decided to stay away from the capital in the future, as far away as possible.
Outside Qixia Gate, there was a steady flow of people coming and going. Fan Li's carriage headed southeast and gradually disappeared.
Of course, Fan Li still didn't know that because of his intention to enter the court as soon as his Majesty announced his intention and his quick escape today, some ministers in the capital jokingly called him Fan Paopao.
If he knew that he had been given such a shameful title, he would probably become even more determined not to come to the capital again.
Not long after Fan Li left, several riders came from the city on fast horses. When the guard sergeant of Qixia Gate saw the riders, he immediately bowed down and ushered them into the city gate tower.
"Stop someone named Fan Li!"
The leader of the riders took out a portrait with a gloomy expression, and it was none other than Fan Li.
"Yes! Sir!"
The doorkeeper of Qi Xia didn't even ask the reason. He took the portrait and ran out quickly to give orders.
This scene not only happened at Qixia Gate, but also at all the twelve gates in the capital. Soldiers came to search for Fan Li.
Ordinary people were fine, but those who were riding in carriages and refused to show their faces were roughly stopped, and were not allowed to go until they were interrogated and their identities checked.
