"Sun Official, if there's nothing else, then go to the side. Ben fei will talk with Sun Official after this matter is taken care of."
Sun Xingzhi said discontentedly, "Wang fei is a woman and should stay in the inner compound to manage the Ding Wang fu for the Prince. What right do you have to sit in the court and have people capture General Wang?"
"What right do I have?" Ye Li smiled coldly and said, "Because ben fei is the highest commander of the Mohist army in the northwest."
Sun Xingzhi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Are you joking? How can the commander of the Mohist army be a woman? Even if you are the Ding Wang fei … … you don't have the right to order people around in Hong Zhou! " Ye Li was too lazy to pay attention to this person. She gave a look to Qin Feng. Qin Feng understood and waved his hand. Two guards came forward, one on the left and one on the right, and pressed Sun Xingzhi into a chair on the side. Sun Xingzhi was a scholar. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't overcome the two young and strong guards. He was suppressed to the point he couldn't move. Glaring angrily at Ye Li, Ye Li took a sip of tea. She smiled faintly and said, "If Sun Official insists on disturbing ben fei, then don't blame ben fei for being rude to an important official of the court." Sun Xingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "This official will definitely report to the Emperor about the Ding Wang fu!"
"As you wish." In this kind of situation, what difference did it make whether he reported or not? Ye Li's gaze turned to the other general who was also being held. "General Wang? Hong Zhou's Guardian General Wang Duo? What is your relationship with Wang Zhaorong of the palace? "
Wang Duo struggled a few times to no avail. He raised his head and glared at Ye Li, saying, "Wang Zhaorong is ben general's younger cousin. What does wang fei mean? Release ben general. Don't forget ben general is the Guardian General of Hong Zhou. "
Ye Li flipped through the files on the table and threw them down. They landed right in front of Wang Duo and said, "From now on, you are no longer the Guardian General of Hong Zhou. Take a look for yourself. "
Wang Duo did not pick up the file on the ground. Instead, he angrily said: "What does Wang Fei mean? This general's position was personally conferred by the Emperor and the Imperial Court. Does Wang Fei think that it can be revoked with just one word from Wang Fei? " Ye Li smiled and took out a jade pendant. She waved it in her hand and said with a smile, "Then does this have the right to remove you? Emperor Taizu's last wish was that in times of crisis during a war, the one who held the Yan Zi Jade Pendant in the King's Mansion could control all generals below the rank of Great General in Da Chu State. Or is General Wang not a general of the Da Chu State? "
"This …" Of course, Wang Duo knew about the decree that Taizu had left behind. Although the generals loyal to the Emperor now might not really buy it, before the Emperor decreed that Taizu's decree was abolished, they could at most obey in public but oppose in private. They absolutely could not oppose it face to face.
Ye Li took back the jade pendant and said to Feng Zhiyao: "Feng San, Hong Zhou's defense will be handed over to you." Feng Zhiyao smiled wholeheartedly and looked at the somewhat absent-minded Wang Duo. He nodded and said: "This general obeys. This general will immediately adjust Hong Zhou's defense. "Finished speaking, he waved his hand and led several generals out of the door. After Feng Zhiyao and the others left, Ye Li looked at Wang Duo and the others again. She smiled sweetly: "Alright, now General Wang and Sun daren can say whatever you want." Wang Duo unwillingly said: "The troops of Hong Zhou will not listen to a general who does not even have an official rank in the Imperial Court!" He was talking about Feng Zhiyao. Although Feng Zhiyao was publicly recognized as Mo Xiuyao's right-hand man in the Mohist army, Feng Zhiyao was the only general in the Mohist army who did not have an official rank. Ye Li smiled slightly and said: "Whether or not he can make people listen to him is Feng San's problem. There is no need for General Wang to worry." Wang Duo gave a light snort and had nothing to say.
Ye Li looked sideways at Sun Xingzhi who was sitting to the side and smiled: "Sun daren has something to say?"
Sun Xingzhi sneered: "With wang fei's prestige, how would this official dare to speak?" Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled: "Since you don't dare to speak, then there is no need to speak. Sun daren can live peacefully in Hong Zhou. When the war is over, this fei will send someone to send Sun daren back to the capital. If unfortunately … … Hong Zhou is lost, this fei will give Sun daren a chance to live and die with Hong Zhou. "Hearing this, Sun Xingzhi's face twisted. He gritted his teeth and said:" Many thanks, wang fei! "
After sending off Sun Xingzhi and Wang Duo, Qi Anrong was the only one left in the hall. He looked at the woman on the seat with fear and trepidation. With a flattering smile, he said: "Wang fei … …"
Ye Li looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Qi daren, your position as the governor of Hong Zhou is very comfortable. Not to mention this fei, even the Prince would be very envious. "
"I don't dare … … I don't dare … …" Qi Anrong smiled apologetically. Ye Li flipped through the file in her hand and said: "Six years in office, a family fortune of one million. One wife, twelve concubines, four sons, six daughters … … No wonder this fei heard that in three years, Magistrate Qing earned a hundred thousand snowflake silver. Qi daren must have earned more than a hundred thousand this year, right? "
"Wang fei … … this lowly official, this lowly official … …" Qi Anrong kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. Ye Li casually threw the file to the side and said: "Qi daren, don't be nervous. This fei is not interested in Qi daren's wealth, concubines, and children." Hearing this, Qi Anrong's eyes brightened. He looked at Ye Li expectantly. Ye Li looked down and said lightly: "The war with the West-Hill is imminent, Hong Zhou City … …" Qi Anrong was very smart and quickly said: "It is this lowly official's duty to cooperate with Wang fei to fight against the West-Hill bandits. Wang fei, please give me your orders." Ye Li looked up and said with a smile: "This won't make things difficult for Qi daren?"
Qi Anrong smiled and said: "How can it be? As long as Hong Zhou is safe, it is good for everyone, isn't it? Wang fei, please give me your orders. "
Ye Li nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. Since Qi daren has made things convenient for me, this fei will not make things difficult for Qi daren. As long as Qi daren manages Hong Zhou City well, this fei will take care of everything else."
"This lowly official understands. This lowly official will not disappoint Wang fei."
"Very good. Qi daren, please go back first."
After sending Qi Anrong off, Ye Li looked disdainfully at the disappearing figure and said: "Wang fei, are we really going to let Qi Anrong off so easily?" Ye Li smiled coldly, "Let him off? That will depend on whether he is tactful. We have just arrived in Hong Zhou. We can't offend everyone at once, can we? "
"This lowly official understands."
The entire northwest, especially within Hong Zhou, was filled with battles of various sizes almost every day. This time, Ye Li was not personally leading the troops into battle. Instead, she was sitting in Hong Zhou City and giving orders from afar. Because she was no longer alone. In her womb lived a small, almost undetectable baby. This was her and Mo Xiuyao's first child. Even though she had never been a mother, she knew that as a mother, she had to protect her child.
"Doctor Yang, how is it?" After taking the pulse, Ye Li pulled back her wrist and asked the young doctor in front of her.
Doctor Yang respectfully said: "It's nothing serious. However, this lowly official will say the same thing. Wang fei, please do not overexert yourself. Otherwise, even if there is no danger, it will not be good for the little shizi in your womb." Ye Li nodded and said: "I will remember doctor's words. Thank you for your trouble."
"In that case, this lowly official will go and adjust Wang fei's meals." Doctor Yang bowed his head and left.
