162 There is no word outside the pavilion
Lin Xi heard this matter of suppressing bandits suddenly, that is, Zhao Jingyi did not hear the news in advance after receiving the secret order, Lin Xi was still in the tribute courtyard at that time, and he went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing before he had time to speak, thinking that he would always see Lin Xi again before leaving Beijing.
But after all, there was no chance.
The ministers of Shanxi bandits have vaguely heard from their respective channels, the depth of which can be guessed a few points for each reason, and the forces involved are not small, this Qin cha is definitely not good, especially the Nine Emperors have no foundation among the foreign ministers, and it is even more difficult.
When the rumor of the palace faintly came out, everyone looked at it as a joke, you must know that the King of Liang and the King of Shu may not be able to understand it clearly, and everyone is eager to pour cold water on the newborn calf Nine Emperors, so they wait for the early dynasty.
However, he never thought that Emperor Xia Jing didn't even ask, and directly announced the holy decree, Zhao Jingyi, the prince of Dianrui, was the main general, and on the second day, he led 50,000 troops into Shanxi to suppress the bandits, and then ordered Zhao Jingyu, the ninth prince, to accompany him to help deal with the follow-up matters of the bandits.
The willful emperor is really unresistible, and the sharp eyes of the Nine Dynasties Liuzhu looked straight at the stunned ministers after the crown of the Nine Dynasties, and asked with a smile: "Is there any objection to the selection of the main general?" ”
Who would dare to object?
Others may be able to find fault with it, but who is Prince Kerui? Killed Hu Nu twice, and even the princess was willing to send the killing god!
It's just that it seems to use a knife to kill chickens, right?
A minister came out of the ranks, bowed his head cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, it's just some mountain bandits who don't enter the stream, is the prince's ability to control the country too condescending?" ”
"Bandits who don't enter the stream?" Emperor Xia Jing sneered, suddenly sank his face, and scolded loudly, "An unpopular bandit makes the dignified governor helpless, and the Shanxi army is all defeated?" Who told me that I was hungry because my military resources were not enough, or that this bandit had three heads and six arms, and God favored him? It was a joke, but it came true! The excerpt was sent to the capital with an urgent report, and it was placed on my desk! ”
Emperor Xia Jing's deafening anger scolded, and the bottom naturally disappeared.
"Shut up, I can't afford to lose this person, my protector general, hehe, I'm here to clean up the mess for you!" Emperor Xia Jing pointed down and sneered, then waved his hand again, as if he didn't want to say more, "Lao Jiu is also older, he should also go out and have a look, follow my brother, I can rest assured, Bai Aiqing, if you plan an entourage, you will go and announce the decree." ”
Bai Rubai bowed and said, "Yes." ”
To put it mildly, the most controversial candidate for the Nine Emperors has been decided, and he has already been scolded, how can there be any courtiers who dare to talk nonsense and pull out the tiger's beard.
Under the rapid knife to cut through the chaos, Zhao Jingyi received the order to set off early in the morning while still in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and there was no time to rush back to the capital to climb over the wall again.
Finally, with a dark face, he hurriedly wrote a letter, "Tell him that this king will come back as soon as possible, don't be angry, and personally make amends to him at that time." ”
Wei Jia took it, raised his head and said loudly: "Yes, my subordinates will personally hand it over to Gongzi." ”
Zhao Jingyi glanced at him with an unhappy expression.
Wei Yi rolled his eyes and didn't say much.
Wei Jia sneered embarrassedly twice, "Don't worry, your subordinates will rush back as soon as they wait for Gongzi's reply, and they will never dare to delay for a moment." ”
Zhao Jingyi lifted the corner of his lips and snorted as if carelessly.
The Nine Emperors' chariots left the city early in the morning to join the army that had long been ready to go.
Looking at the sassy man under the hunting banner, the horse raised and kicked his nose, Zhao Jingyu couldn't help but feel excited, how could he have witnessed such a masculine scene in the deep palace.
When the car returned to its place, Zhao Jingyi raised his hand, raised his face slightly, and the deputy general roared "Let's go-", and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the flag moved, and the 50,000 horses moved like an army of 500,000, gradually moving away.
Suddenly, Wei Yi called: "Lord Wang." ”
Zhao Jingyi looked up as if he had a feeling, and instantly saw the prince of the long pavilion standing on the high slope in the distance.
In the early morning of spring, there was still a chill, the pure white cloak floated slightly, and the jade-like Lin Gongzi quietly looked at the long line. Behind him was a short figure, Zhao Yuanrong grabbed Lin Xi's cloak with one hand, and waved at him with the other, his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Zhao Jingyi's gloom for many days was suddenly swept away.
If the husband is like this, what more can the husband ask for?
"Uncle Lin?" However, the Nine Emperor Princes, who lifted the curtain of the carriage, were immediately happy when they saw Lin Xi, and asked Zhao Jingyi who was riding on the side of the carriage without hesitation, "Brother Rui Wang, can you wait for a while?" ”
Zhao Jingyi's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand, and the whole team immediately stopped.
"Thank you, Brother Rui." The Nine Emperor Princes jumped out of the carriage, looked at Zhao Yuanrong beside Lin Xi, hesitated for a moment and said, "Rong'er is also here, why don't you go and say a few words with your younger brother?" ”
Zhao Jingyi naturally couldn't ask for it, nodded, and followed the Nine Emperor Princes towards the high slope.
Lin Xi watched the two of them coming, got up to greet each other, and bowed to salute, "The student has seen His Royal Highness the Nine, Lord Rui." ”
Zhao Jingyi's fingers moved, but in the end, he bowed slightly, but the Nine Emperor Princes didn't think so much, helped Lin Xi up, turned back to Zhao Jingyi and said, "Brother Rui, your father and son talk well." Uncle Lin, let's go over there and talk about it, so we won't bother them. ”
He smiled as he spoke, and he looked very considerate.
Zhao Yuanrong looked at his father, although he still had an iceberg face, as if he was expressionless, but he felt that the surroundings were suddenly much colder, and he could drip ink when he looked at it again.
Zhao Yuanrong suddenly pursed his lips, his son is also very important, okay? Don't look like you don't want to talk, you have to rely on him to watch your cousin during this time, okay?
Zhao Jingyi lowered his head, just in time to see Zhao Yuanrong muttering angrily, and suddenly stared wide-eyed.
As the father of the rumored only son, Zhao Jingyi had to give a few instructions, "No accident, this king can come back before winter, and everything in the house will be left to you. ”
"Got it." The father trained and the son listened, Zhao Yuanrong had to respectfully accept the order, but ...... He pouted to Nunu on the other side, "What about him?" ”
Zhao Jingyi glanced at Zhao Yuanrong deeply, and said in a low voice: "Do you still want this king to explain?" ”
Zhao Xiaoshizi swore that he saw a deep contempt in the eyes of his father.
Zhao Jingyi ignored him anymore, and asked in a slight voice, "Ninth brother, are you okay?" ”
"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I don't ask for money or people, I only ask for a clear conscience, only chase the ins and outs, no matter what, I only ask about the process, as for how to decide, it all depends on my father's decision."
Lin Xi nodded with a smile, "Your Highness is the prince, no one dares to ask about your mistakes." When he turned around and saw Zhao Jingyi, he suddenly looked at each other, and couldn't take his eyes off for a moment, "Your Highness, it's not too early, let's go." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes looked back and saw Zhao Jingyi looking over, so he replied, "This is coming." He also instructed Lin Xi, "Although the weather is getting warmer, Uncle Lin still remembers to pay attention to his body, and I'm leaving." ”
"Walk slowly."
At the moment when the two left, Lin Xi suddenly heard Zhao Jingyi say, "Lin Xi, take care." ”
When I looked up, I saw that gaze, but there was a scorching heat in the warm and cool depths, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, and then said loudly: "Lord Wang, have a good journey." ”
As soon as the army left, Lin Xi had no distractions and sprinted behind closed doors, and years of hard work were for this last one-man battle.
Mr. Bai is the third yuan and the first, his own little apprentice has learned the yuan, and he has never thought of teaching another three yuan and the first, and even because of the emperor's preference, as long as he will try to win the championship, the palace test must be in the palm of his hand.
is to have stricter requirements for Lin Xi.
In the blink of an eye, spring goes to autumn, late autumn and winter solstice, but the Shanxi army still has not returned.
The bandits were no threat to the 50,000 elite divisions at all, and they would be trapped in the mountains in less than a month, if it weren't for Zhao Jingyi not wanting to kill them all, it wouldn't even take ten days.
The news came faintly, and Lin Xi silently paid attention to the scene over there without leaving home.
Sure enough, after all, there are a few vicious bandits, and there are even fewer of them who are not afraid of the imperial court, if they are not forced to be helpless, how can they go to Liangshan?
Zhao Jingyi's letter briefly explained the beginning and the end in several strokes, and the Nine Emperor Princes were much more specific.
The cause is simple and bloody: the son of Cheng in Linshan County saw that the wife of the first bandit Zhang Si was beautiful, so he took advantage of Zhang Si's work to forcibly occupy it, his wife was humiliated and hanged himself, his mother could not stop him and died on the spot, his father was bedridden due to stimulation, Zhang Si sued Linshan County Order, and the county order covered up the case of confusion, and scolded Zhang Forty or Fifty Sticks with a cane, and finally his father closed his eyes in despair without anyone to take care of him. The family was ruined, and he was ridiculed in public by the son of the county Cheng, Zhang Si lost his calm and killed the son of the county Cheng by mistake, and finally forced to go to Linshan, Zhang Si was affected by it in Zhangjia Village, and was imprisoned one after another, and finally defected collectively and became a mountain bandit.
Linshan County is not big, but there are many villages, which are very oppressed on weekdays, Zhang Si led the robbery of several wealthy families, and distributed their property and food to the villagers in various villages, and the team grew stronger and stronger. Shanxi Prefecture is Linshan County's uncle, and then the officials protect each other, deceive and conceal the subordinates, many of the Shanxi army come from various villages, naturally there is no combat power at all, and even some directly kill the chief, the matter slowly gets bigger, and finally arrives in front of the emperor.
This case is easy to try, there is no need to play against the emperor, there is a catch one under the county order at the bottom, and the head is directly lost, which calms the anger of the people, and the tension is instantly eased.
However, it has become more difficult to go deeper, which is the main reason why the army has remained stranded to this day.
"Shanxi is close to the west, five years ago when the Hunu and Xiyi coalition forces attacked the west, the horse bandits on the border between the two countries took the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, and the city broke its own big 'credit', and then the coalition army surrendered and withdrew from the west for dozens of miles, Zhao Jingyi collected the various armies and then packed up the gang of outlaws, I am afraid that some of them fled into Shanxi."
These Nine Emperor Princes didn't know, but Prince Rui knew that Lin Xi handed over the letter to Zhao Yuanrong.
"Cousin, are you saying that these fanatics entered the mountain and became mountain bandits, and they instigated them."
Lin Xi sneered, "It's not so much that Zhao Si is the leader of the bandits, it's better to be a puppet." ”
"Is Father going to catch them?"
Back then, the Zhenxi Wangfu was defeated too quickly and too strangely, and Zhao Jingyi could not grasp many clues. But the oil deposits are too tempting, without the Jiangnan Silver Treasury, if you lose this, the Prince's Mansion will not be able to make ends meet. Just think about it to guess that these people must still be nearby, and sure enough, the clue came.
And the emperor is the emperor after all, and he can always guess a few points.
Lin Xi touched Zhao Yuanrong's head and said softly, "No, it's the Nine Emperor Princes." 166 Reading Network
