"Is it raining outside?" Qi Xingyun suddenly asked.

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, then ran out and came back again, saying: "Your Majesty knows things well, it is indeed raining outside."

"What a damn thing! All this rain has dripped onto my imperial court!" Qi Xingyun said in disbelief, pointing at the already wet imperial court.

"The emperor has been away from the capital for a long time, and this palace has not been taken care of." Xian Fei Fang said with a little helplessness.

Repairing the palace requires money from national funds or internal funds.

The Emperor of Da Qi needed money to fight wars, build Chidao, and build ships at the ferry dock. The concubine Fang and Zhang Tingyu told Zhang Tingyu several times that the palace in the capital needed to be repaired, but they were all dismissed by the Minister of Household Affairs as saying that the emperor was not in the capital.

There is no need to talk about having ample national funds.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's first government visit to Beijing turned out to be leaky.

This is not the first time that the Yangxin Hall has experienced leaks in Da Qi Dynasty.

Qi Xingyun was quite helpless. The Emperor of Qi was living a miserable life.

Daqi's palace covers a very small area, and the palace with the simplest decoration has a relatively small number of palaces.

Outside Qi Xingyun's Xihua Gate, there is a big sign with the word "wine" on the restaurant. Qi Xingyun can directly see the huge archway of the restaurant from the palace.

Standing on the Wenhua Tower, you can see the entire Beijing Palace at a glance.

Qi Xingyun looked at Zha Zi in front of him, then at Tang Jinghui, the Minister of Household Affairs, and asked, "Tang Shaoqing, what do you think?"

Tang Jinghui hurriedly came out of the queue and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, when I heard that the Emperor returned to Beijing from Qianzhou, I started to send people to clean the palace, repair the palace, paint and hang lanterns. When I sent people to repair the Yangxin Palace, I was told that it was confidential by my subordinates.

You stopped me."

"Ning Feng." Qi Xingyun asked loudly, looking at Ning Feng standing at the end.

Ning Feng looked around with a confused look on his face, and finally said: "Your Majesty, as Tang Shaoqing said, the Emperor once said that the Yangxin Palace is a secret, and no one can approach it without permission without the Emperor's edict."

A playful smile appeared on Qi Xingyun's face. On his first day back in court, something like this happened, and Ning Feng finally took the blame.

This group of courtiers started.

Ning Feng is an extremely thoughtful person.

Therefore, he didn't believe what Ning Feng said at this time.

Even if Tang Jinghui really sent people to the Yangxin Palace to repair the palace, but was stopped by Ning Feng, he believed that Ning Feng would climb up to the roof and repair the palace himself.

Ning Feng's answer made Qi Xingyun extremely dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, do you want to move to a place where rain is leaking?" Wang Yun tried to persuade the emperor, who was leaning on the throne. How could he deal with government affairs in a place where rain was leaking and papers were piled up there?

"I'm not busy." Qi Xingyun stretched out his hand to stop Wang Yun from moving the table, and said playfully: "I am the emperor, why don't I change my position and become the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I made a mistake." Wang Yun thought about it for a moment and was so frightened that he fell to his knees and quickly knelt on the ground to apologize.

Qi Xingyun asked Wang Yun to get up. Naturally, his strange words were not directed at Wang Yun.

He inspected the courtiers and found that he had not been in the capital for more than half a year, so he had gained a lot of courage.

Qi Xingyun just stayed on the dripping court table and completed his first court meeting back in Beijing. The whole process was a little more solemn because of the sound of dripping rain.

"Retreat!" Wang Yun shouted loudly, and the courtiers dispersed in twos and threes.

Qi Xingyun looked at Ning Feng, a very thoughtful person who stayed alone in the Nourishing Heart Hall after others withdrew from the court.

"Commander Ning, the rain fell accurately, and it happened to fall on the imperial case. Do you think it was a coincidence or not?" Qi Xingyun said with a playful look.

There was no rain in other parts of the Yangxin Hall, but the rain happened to leak in front of me. What a coincidence.

"Your Majesty, I sent my personal officers to keep an eye on Xiu in this Yangxin Hall. At that time, I only paid attention to protecting the secrets and never thought that they would take action here." Ning Feng also said with a look of helplessness.

"Why did you say in the palace that you stopped them from repairing the palace?" Qi Xingyun asked, staring at Ning Feng.

Ning Feng's face looked a little ugly. He bowed his head and said, "I will find out."

"It's not your fault. You hugged me in the palace. Why did you do this?" Qi Xingyun looked at Ning Feng and still kept chewing on this question.

Ning Feng glanced at the emperor with slight doubts. This civil servant made a mistake and the general took the blame. Isn't this the norm in the Qi Dynasty?

Why does the emperor keep asking and won't let go?

"Your Majesty, it's the matter of the father-in-law." Wang Yun carefully reminded the Emperor of the past. It had only been a few months since Queen Zhao's father, the British Duke, was kicked out of the court.

"I know. I just want to ask Ning Feng what he thinks." Qi Xingyun looked at Ning Feng and said: "You are the leader of the hidden guard, and you are also an official, subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and belong to the inner court. Why do you have to take this responsibility?

responsibility?"

"I know I was wrong." Ning Feng bowed his head and said. Only then did Ning Feng realize that he had made a mistake. He made the emperor fall into a passive state.

Qi Xingyun finally let out a heavy breath and looked at Ning Feng, who was furious.

Under the circumstances at that time, if Ning Feng did not take the blame, Qi Xingyun was ready to lose his temper. After a thorough investigation, Tang Jinghui would naturally not be able to live with it.

This guy had vigorously advocated a peace negotiation when Daqi was victorious.

In the case of King Zun and King Wei's rebellion, this person was more or less involved, but there is no direct evidence.

Why Zun Wang and his family hanged themselves in the middle hall is still an unresolved matter. Qi Xingyun has always wanted to find out the person behind the scenes who had such huge power.

Ning Feng took responsibility as usual, which inadvertently disrupted Qi Xingyun's pace of purging Chaoyu.

Qi Xingyun leaned on the seat and looked at Ning Feng's frightened look. He also knew that Ning Feng was doing things according to his usual routine and he said with all his heart: "You, since you have taken this responsibility, I have to punish you. This way.

Well, half a year’s salary will be fine.”

"Actually, that's fine. You should keep this matter in mind, arrange for personal officials and hidden guards to investigate the matter thoroughly, and not let go of any clues behind it. What I want to investigate is not just Tang Jinghui. The former king

, King Wei rebelled, and stood up to investigate this case."

Ning Feng is not a stupid person. Qi Xingyun's words are equivalent to a clear statement. Ning Feng naturally knows that the emperor has not given up on the matter of respecting the king not long ago.

A fine of half a year's salary is not a very light punishment, at least for Ning Feng, a bachelor, it will be at least half a year before he wants to get married.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ning Feng bowed his head and said thanks.

He thought that he, the fifth-grade commander, could no longer be saved. Unexpectedly, the emperor lost his temper, but did not directly dismiss him from his post.

If this is not kindness, what is it?
