Chapter 1729 Picking up People

Qi Yi knew that Mr. Feng had an old friend who died in the northwest, so he solemnly took the memorial and put it away.

Mr. Feng added: "He will definitely ask you, did I tell you what to do after you went to the northwest? Don't hide it. Tell him everything. Show him the memorial text and he will trust you more." ...Perhaps I can happily agree to your request to resign in three years."

When Mr. Feng said this, he actually had some hope for Emperor Jingyuan, feeling that he was still a human being and not a beast with scarlet eyes.

"Thank you sir." Qi Yi was very grateful. He had only known Mr. Feng for a few months, but Mr. Feng treated him so well, which moved him deeply. He also deeply regretted that he was incompetent and could not help Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng waved his hand and stopped talking. After chatting with Qi Yi for a while, he sent him away.

Qi Yi kowtowed to Mr. Feng three times, stood up and left.

When I arrived at the gate of the house, I met Ming Cong.

Ming Cong was dressed in a crimson official uniform, with a long and graceful figure. He was dignified and majestic. After seeing him, Ming Cong showed a pleasant smile and took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Qi is here to say goodbye to Mr. Qi." of."

Then he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Qi on your promotion."

Ming Cong didn't pretend, he was really happy.

Qi Yi, the confidant that Emperor Jing Yuan had personally found, was finally going to the northwest. He no longer had to worry about Qi Yi taking over his position and power after studying under Mr. Feng.

"I'm here to pay my respects to Lord Ming." Qi Yi doesn't have a good impression of Ming Cong. He thinks he is a sycophant. If he really thought about Emperor Jing Yuan, he would not help Emperor Jing Yuan kill people and make Emperor Jing Yuan afraid of all his ministers. In order to save his life He was unwilling to provide Emperor Jingyuan with good strategies for governing the country.

Ming Cong took a few steps forward, held Qi Yi's arm, and helped him up: "Brother Qi, there is no need to be polite. We are brothers in the same sect, so we should be close."

Qi Yi only felt a cold feeling on his wrist, as if a poisonous snake was coiling around him, giving him goosebumps: "Your Majesty's words are serious, I don't dare to do this."

Qi Yi said distant words.

Ming Cong snorted in his heart, but remained gentle and friendly on his face: "Brother Qi, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace. I'm here to pick you up. Let's go."

Ming Cong said, pulling Qi Yi into the carriage.

The driver quickly drove towards the imperial city.

Qi Yi didn't like Ming Cong and didn't talk much to him while riding in a carriage with him.

Ming Cong originally wanted to take the opportunity to move the Gu family to establish friendship with Qi Yi, but after seeing that Qi Yi was wary of him, he did not move the Gu family out... The Gu family brothers and sisters and Qin Sanlang were both people he liked, and he must win them over to work for him. But we can't let Qi Yi ruin the wooing thing.

So Ming Cong asked about Mr. Feng's situation instead.

Qi Yi only talked about Mr. Feng's physical condition and didn't say anything else.

Ming Cong said no more and walked over after sending Qi Yi into the imperial city.

Qi Yi was led all the way to Mingwei Hall by guards and eunuchs, and met Emperor Jingyuan.

When he said that he would resign and go into seclusion in three years, as expected, Emperor Jingyuan was furious and he was beaten ten times with a stick.

It was the imperial guards who carried out the execution, and they beat him very hard, beating Qi Yi to pieces within ten strokes.

Fortunately, it worked out.

After reading the memorial text, Emperor Jingyuan remained silent for a long time and agreed that he should resign and go into seclusion. But there is a condition, that is, he can only leave after he finds a successor.

If he can't find a confidant he can trust after three years, he will have to continue to stay in Long'an Mansion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Qi Yi was overjoyed and knelt down to express his gratitude, but he shed tears.

Emperor Jingyuan saw this, frowned, pointed at him and said, "You are really not suitable for being an official."

He has talents, abilities, character, and loyalty, but he lacks the ruthlessness to become a useful knife.

But Emperor Jingyuan was also afraid that Ming Cong was too ruthless, so he wanted a pure and loyal minister like Qi Yi.

Qi Yi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is really not suitable for being an official, so he wants to resign and go into seclusion. When Wei Chen returns to his hometown with his wife and children, he will open a school and become a teacher..."

Qi Yi paused for a while, looked at Emperor Jingyuan and said, "So I beg Your Majesty to let Wei Chen's wife and children live well, is that okay?"

With a bang, Emperor Jingyuan slammed the table, pointed at Qi Yi and said angrily: "Who do you think I am? Do you think I will kill the wives and children of loyal ministers?!"

However, have you never killed?

Qi Yi said nothing, just knelt down and waited for Emperor Jingyuan's words.

Emperor Jingyuan was furious when he saw this, but he still wanted to stare at Xu You with Qi Yi, so he could only suppress his desire to kill and vent his hatred and let Qi Yi go away.

Qi Yi limped home as if he had been granted amnesty.

Mrs. Qi was waiting for him at home. When she saw him coming back like this, she burst into tears: "You shouldn't have come. We shouldn't have come to the capital in the first place. We should have gone south or to the northeast to join our aunt."

Qi Yi endured the severe pain of being injured and comforted Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi didn't want her children to see her and worry, so she quickly put away her tears.

But when he learned that Emperor Jingyuan wanted to detain the mother and daughter as hostages in the capital, he couldn't breathe and fainted.

The Qi family was in chaos because of this. Fortunately, Qi Yi's children were sensible and were not frightened. The daughter also helped take care of Mrs. Qi and arranged for her servants to hire a doctor.

Mrs. Qi woke up that night. When she woke up, she couldn't believe it and asked Qi Yi again.

Qi Yi felt very guilty, but still told the truth, and also said that Emperor Jingyuan promised him to resign and go into seclusion in three years to protect their lives.

Mrs. Qi cried again. Fortunately, she was no longer a little girl and could handle the situation. After the grief, she accepted her fate and made an agreement with Qi Yi that the family would leave together and return to her hometown in three years.

However, the Queen Mother learned about the Qi Yi family and sent someone to deliver the moon cake in the palace to the Qi family.

With the moon gift given by the Queen Mother, all the noble ladies in the capital understood that even if Qi Yi went to the northwest, the female family members of the Qi family could not bully her.

A few days later, Mr. Feng also gave Qi Yi's son a book. Emperor Jingyuan was overjoyed when he learned about it and asked Qi Yi's son to study with Mr. Feng in the future.

Mr. Feng did not refuse.

Qi Yi and Mrs. Qi were relieved and very grateful to Mr. Feng.

Emperor Jingyuan was happy because he felt that Mr. Feng had begun to forgive him and was ready to help him.

These things about the Qi family only caused a little splash in the capital. After everyone saw the excitement, they stopped paying attention. They were too busy and had no time.

The six ministries were all busy, sending supplies to the northwest, sending craftsmen to repair the damaged cities, and taking the new appointment letters of the generals to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to have them stamped before sending them to the northwest.

While the capital was extremely busy, Daokougou Camp was almost as busy as ever.

Xu You knew that many of the relatives of the soldiers who were marching westward to fight against the Japanese army were stranded outside, so he asked hundreds of households in each place to pick them up.

After receiving the order, Qin Sanlang was very excited, thinking about Gu Jinli in his heart, and did not want to wait any longer. He immediately gathered his troops and horses, and after joining the troops of Niu Dabao, Xie Cheng, Zhang Yan and others, they ran towards Xing'an Prefecture together.

They marched all night. They originally wanted to arrive at Hing'an Prefecture before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they missed it and did not arrive at Hing'an Prefecture until the evening of August 16th.

But they had too many soldiers and horses to enter the city. They could only be stationed outside the city, and hundreds of households went into the city to pick up people with their relatives' lists.

However, General Liang knew that the soldiers were working hard, so he asked people to pick out food for the soldiers to eat.

"There are also pork and mutton, we have meat to eat!" The soldiers were very happy when they saw the meat, and hurriedly started making meat rice.
