Beijing.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

There is also an edict hanging high on the door of the pavilion, which strictly states the regulations: "This is an important confidential place, and officials and other officials are not allowed to enter without permission. Violators will not be spared."

In the room, after Grand Scholar Liu Yu offered to take charge of the national debt, all the cabinet ministers turned their attention to Qi Xingyun, who was sitting at the top.

"Lao Liu Ge is responsible for the national debt."

Qi Xingyun said slowly.

He turned his gaze downwards: "Who can be the general?"

"Your Majesty, General Luo is idle. Why not call General Luo back to the capital?" Pavilion elder Li Chuncheng said.

Li Chuncheng is also a recent Grand Scholar. Since Grand Scholar Wanjin retired from the court and returned home to retire, the three recent Grand Scholars are all here.

"No, it is not appropriate for a general to hold too much military power." Zhang Tingyu shook his head.

He had a very good personal relationship with Luo Fengtang, so he didn't want Luo Fengtang to make the emperor suspicious because of this matter.

Luo Fengtang already controls Da Qi's strongest army, the National Guard Army. If he controls another army in the north, it means that 70% of Da Qi's military strength is related to him.

This is too dangerous. In all dynasties, military power will ultimately belong to the emperor. If a general wants to get more military power, the result will either be a change of dynasty or death.

"Let someone else give the general some rest. His wife has just given birth to a baby and it is not appropriate to go on an expedition."

Qi Xingyun received the letter in advance and learned that Yang Ruoqing had given birth to two more children.

In the letter, Luo Fengtang had already asked for leave.

In his heart, Qi Xingyun did not want Luo Fengtang to have too much military power. Naturally, he was considering whether the monarch and his ministers could get along harmoniously.

It is one thing for him to cultivate Luo Xingchen, but it is another thing for Luo Fengtang to take control of the military. The two cannot be confused.

"Your Majesty, I propose one person."

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"Say." Qi Xingyun said.

"Uncle Yi."

After Zhang Tingyu said this name, he lowered his head.

"Uncle Yi..." Qi Xingyun muttered.

He didn't realize it at first, but soon he figured out who this person was.

This person is indeed an unparalleled warrior who became famous at a young age, but this person is quite a taboo for the royal family.

In the past, when the Supreme Emperor had not yet become emperor, the Supreme Emperor was still young at that time. This man and the Supreme Emperor were playmates and had a very good relationship.

After the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, Taishu Yi was promoted to a general by him.

Taishu Yi served as a general in the southwest. He killed the Miao aliens who did not dare to compete with Daqi, and stabilized the situation in the entire southwest.

The Supreme Emperor transferred him to the capital and was preparing to make him the commander-in-chief of the north.

But something happened at this time.

After Jiangnan entered the capital, one of the concubines in the palace fell in love with Taishu Yi in secret due to some strange combination of circumstances.

When the Supreme Emperor found out, he was furious.

The concubine was thrown into the cold palace, and Taishu Yi was locked up and imprisoned in the sky prison.

However, the emperor hesitated in the end and did not kill the concubine or execute Taishu Yi, but just imprisoned him.

Fast forward more than twenty years.

"I'm going to Tianlao to meet this person. Mr. Zhang Ge, please come and continue to preside over the cabinet meeting and discuss it carefully. When I come back, you must come up with a charter."

Qi Xingyun's attitude was very determined.

It was Beili's rebellion that made him furious.

If the Beili family's wild ambitions are not eliminated, I don't know how many people will follow suit in the future, and the authority of the Da Qi court will be gone.

This was exactly how the Southern Dynasty fell in the past.

At the end of the Southern Dynasties, the eunuchs had exclusive power and powerful local governors despised the authority of the imperial court, which ushered in troubled times...

Hidden Guard Heavenly Prison.

This time it was even scarier than the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, as all special prisoners were imprisoned.

Generally, people who enter this place will never want to leave.

However, there is one thing about Yinwei Tianlao that is better than Xingbu Prison.

The guards in the Hidden Guard Prison are all Hidden Guards. According to tradition, they will not abuse prisoners. In fact, the prisoners here can have enough food and drink. As long as they don't want to go out, they can stay here and retire.

Room No. 3 of Tianlao.

"Bang..." a sound.

The big iron lock outside was opened.

"Old man, someone is here to see you." The guard outside shouted.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to kill my head?" A disapproving voice came from inside.

The guard glanced at the man standing next to him, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

The man waved his hand to signal him to be silent.

Just listen to the rough voice continuing to come out.

"If the emperor wants to kill me, he should kill me quickly. He has been imprisoned for decades and if he wants me to give in, that is absolutely impossible."

"I am confused. The emperor has abdicated. Now the little emperor has come to the throne. The little emperor wants to avenge his father, right? Come on, I have a big head waiting for you to chop it off!"

"You're not talking, are you? The one outside is not the little emperor? Did I guess wrong?"

Arrogant and uninhibited laughter came from inside.

Qi Xingyun slowly opened the door and stepped in.

What caught his eye was a tall man.

The man was wearing a prison uniform, and his hands and feet were all tied up with thick metal shackles. He had a face with a Chinese character, thick beard on his chin and lips, and his hair was very long and disheveled, and it was at the temples.

The location is already a bit gray.

His eyes, bloodshot, looked at Qi Xingyun without flinching.

"I guessed it right, he's the little emperor. I didn't expect that the one who became the emperor in the end was actually you. Haha, I'm laughing so hard. I'm so proud of you."

The man threw his head back and laughed, with malice in his eyes.

"Uncle Yi, what are you talking about? The person in front of you is the emperor, you should be more respectful!" Accompanying Qi Xingyun in was Ning Chengde, deputy commander of the hidden guard.

Ning Chengde is Ning Feng's adopted son. He has superb martial arts skills and is very capable. He waited for Taishu Yi to scold him.

"Respectfully? My life is on the line, what's there to be afraid of?" Taishu Yi obviously disagreed.

"Uncle Yi, don't you want to see her again?" Qi Xingyun said slowly.

"Who?" Taishu Yi thought he heard wrongly.

"Qu Yaxiang, what's wrong? Don't you recognize her?" Qi Xingyun said lightly.

"She, she is still alive?" Taishu Yi finally restrained his arrogance and said in shock.

"Yes, she is still alive. Not only is she alive, she also raised a son for you." Qi Xingyun said.

"What? You raised a son for me, is it true? Is this true?" Taishu Yi's eyes widened, and his eyeballs bulged, almost jumping out of his sockets.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess.

"Would I lie to you? Your son is a pretty good young man. Well, he is studying in the academy. He has already passed the imperial examination. If he takes the imperial examination in the future, he can become an official in the court." Qi Xingyun said.
