Chapter 37 The City Gate Has Changed (Thanks to QQ for Reading Xueying's Monthly Pass)
"You said that the guards of the twelve gates of Yingdu have all changed?"
Ling Yin, who was looking for a book in front of the bookshelf, looked back at the person who came when he heard this, and his voice rose slightly.
"Yes, Lord Ling Yin. Before the son left, he told us to keep an eye on Yingdu up and down, and once we found any changes, we would report to the adults first. So now we find that there is a change in the gate of Yingdu, and we are here to report it. Qin Ling, one of the Eight Secret Guards, said.
"Now the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army are in the hands of Yue Jiao......"
"He still has the four parts of Ruoao in his hands, 30,000 people......"
"Although the 50,000 slaves last time were handed over to the King of Chu, it was always a big hidden danger, Yu Yan'er ......"
Ling Yin Zi unconsciously flipped through the book slip in his hand, but his deep gaze did not fall on the book, but he walked slowly back and forth in the inner study, and after a long time, he raised his voice and said, "Butler, go and call the eldest master over." ”
"Yes, Lord Ling Yin. ”
The steward took the order and departed.
After a while, Ruo Ao Ziliang, who was about to rest, changed his clothes and came over and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the second brother?" ”
"Do you know that when the princess left the palace a few days ago, Jiao'er just mobilized the guards of the Chu Palace and the East Palace, and today she mobilized the defense of the city gate?" asked Ling Yin Zi casually.
Ruo Ziliang is Sima, but he doesn't pay much attention to these small things, "What's the matter?" Maybe Jiao'er is just thinking about the safety of Yingdu and the king. ”
Ling Yin Zi groaned.
It seems that the eldest brother doesn't know these things.
It's not that he is secretly guarding against anything, but if Ao Ziyan went north this time, he almost took away almost one-third of Ruo Ao's six troops, as well as all the young and strong soldiers in Yingdu, the country is empty, if there is stubble at this time, there will be turmoil, so he has to be vigilant and on guard.
No one can disrupt it until his son returns.
He, as a father, has to keep all this for his son.
"No, big brother, I'm just curious about this transfer, I thought it was an order issued by you, you also know that Yan'er is fighting outside now, and the country is empty, I was just afraid that there would be a good one, so I asked casually. ”
Ling Yin Zi shook his head and said, and then proposed, "But when Ziyan comes back, my eldest brother and I should almost abdicate and make way for Xian, it is better to let Jiao'er learn from the eldest brother during this time, a lieutenant is still too wronged by his identity as the eldest son." ”
"I also have this intention, but I don't know who will take over the affairs in Jiao'er's hands for a while. ”
Since Cheng Dechen went, Ruo Ao Ziliang was also tired.
This court is always going to be handed over to the younger generation, and his eldest son has made great achievements after so many years of training, and it is time to step down from his position.
Ling Yin Ziyan raised his hand when he heard this, "Big brother, if this is not the case, I remember that Sima Zuo is just old now, it is better to change to Jiao'er and let him learn from the eldest brother in advance." ”
Ruo Ziliang agreed, "Okay, I'll tell Sima Zuo and Jiao'er tomorrow, he hasn't come back yet." ”
"Okay, then big brother should rest early. ”
Make Yin Zi's jaw bow.
Before Ao Ziliang left, Ling Yin Zifu asked again, "By the way, eldest brother, there have been too many things recently, and it was the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty, and Yan'er went on the expedition, and then the minister passed away, weren't we all the extra 50,000 slaves of Strange Jiao'er at that time?"
"You may have asked him later where he came from, and the 50,000 men are not a small number......
"If you don't say it, I almost forgot, tomorrow, I'll ask him as well. ”
Ruo Ziliang slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered this.
If it weren't for Yin Zi's reminder, Ruo Ziliang would have almost forgotten about this matter that puzzled him, although most of Ziyan's expedition was handled by him, but there were a lot of procedures to go through his Sima's side, so he forgot about it when he was busy.
"It's not a trivial matter to have so many slaves, then Brother Lao has time to ask, today the son-in-law of the Cheng family found out a very large case of banning the homeless people, which happens to be 50,000 people, see where he got so many people from, I'm afraid that the money in the past few years is not enough to spend such a large number of people, don't get involved in this case, it's not good......"
"Well, I'm also surprised that day in the western suburbs, as if it evaporated out of thin air! It is said that there are also a number of slaves in my Chu country, and there are suddenly more than 50,000 people, so I really should ask!"
If Ao Ziliang bows his head.
Be sure to ask about it tomorrow.
Especially the last time there were 50,000 extra slaves on the hunting ground in the western suburbs, the discerning people knew that there was a problem at a glance, except for the old and dizzy King of Chu who did not notice it, in fact, all families were suspicious of this matter in private, and at that time they also privately inquired about it to him openly and secretly, at that time he said that he did not know, although he did not know, and later because if Ao Ziyan went out to the Northern Expedition and happened to divert everyone's attention, if someone is interested in this matter, I am afraid that it will be overturned like a disaster relief case.
If Ao Ziliang is mellow.
Although he turned a blind eye to the calculations of these women and Taoists of the Lu family, it was about the Ruo Ao family, and he must also understand it, frowned, and thought deeply, "But didn't Chen Huang's case of displaced people only lose a thousand people?"
"I'm also strange, obviously a few days ago I said that I only lost a thousand people, but today Xue'er came back and said that Zheng Guo's Xian family firm had forcibly abducted 50,000 people in my Chu State in recent years, and they had confessed and surrendered. That's why I want my eldest brother to have a good understanding, if we Ao don't want to be involved in such a big case that is close to rebellion. ”
Ling Yin Zi said casually flipping through the bamboo slips, and when he heard this, Ao Ziliang nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask carefully, this matter really can't be ignored!"
"Then there is Brother Lao!" Ling Yin Zi smiled, and sent Ruo Ao Ziliang out of the inner study in person, only to have a slightly lowered brow, and folded his hand back.
Just like when a flock of sheep is grazing, it will always be on guard against the attack of wild wolves.
And the wolf has never given up eating sheep, which is due to nature.
If Ao Yuejiao is such a wild and untamable nephew, Yin Zi is always uneasy in his heart, seeing his appearance, he thinks of the king of Chu who killed his father and rebelled nineteen years ago, and the two of them will be repaid, and the bottom of his heart is temporarily down, but he still doesn't feel at ease and orders a few orders to go down, "Who has the eldest prince met with these days, what has he said, be sure to check it for me, including this mansion." ”
"What adults mean, even the big room has to be stared at. ”
The housekeeper looked up at Ling Yin Zi carefully, this is a rare thing.
"Yes, let's do it! It's best if it's okay, and it's better to prepare early if you have something. Ling Yin Zi waved his hand.
The bamboo slip that he had been holding in his hand was put back on the bookshelf, and then he retreated from everyone, walked to a quaint Bogu shelf in the inner study, and from the top layer of the mahogany shelf, took down a gold box that was locked with a gold lock carved with a hundred bats, and then opened the collar, took out a gold-inlaid jade spoon tied with a red rope from his neck, stabbed it into the golden lock, turned left and right, and took out the yellow batch of Ruo Ao Ziyan's "widow has a life", and said slowly, "Is all this fate?
Ling Yin Zi made a contemplative "click" and locked the yellow batch back into the gold box.
And such a shocking case occurred in Yingdu City, and then the city defense troops and horses were in full swing, how could it not arouse the deep vigilance of some old foxes, even Li Lao, who was about to fall asleep at night, heard this, and said to the servants who served by the bedside, "I hope that no one will be as bad luck as the Zhou family this time......
Naturally, the subordinates who served did not know the thoughts of these power-grabbers, so they just knelt down and retreated.
