Chapter 3.18
Pei Yuansi quietly looked at the girl in front of the lotus pond, understood her mood now that she didn't want to be disturbed, and stood quietly with her.
After a long time, Ren Jiacai turned around and looked back at Pei Yuansi, who didn't come to disturb her, and smiled calmly, "I will enter the palace tomorrow, so rest early." ”
Pei Yuansi stepped forward and took the girl's hand and brought the person into the room, but Ren Jia frowned and stopped the move of wanting to sleep in the same bed, so he had to sleep on the bed outside with regret.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ren Jia directly entered the palace, since she was crowned as the left and right leading guards, she got the token given by Wei Lixin, and it was very convenient to enter and exit the palace, and even the guards who had blocked her when she entered the Purple Palace looked different from before, and it is estimated that her many actions have been transmitted back to Yuanjing.
Ren Jia directly threw the double swords on his waist to the imperial guard, and smiled kindly, "You can't carry blades in the palace?" ”
"Lord Governor smiled." The guard's expression was still cold and hard, but his ears were a little red, and he respectfully took the blade and placed it, and couldn't help but remind him more, "Your Majesty is waiting for your lord now, please hurry inside." ”
Ren Jia just teased on a whim, but he didn't want to embarrass the guard, he walked directly into the main hall of Qianyuan, Wei Lixin was reviewing the chapters, and when he saw the person who finally came in front of the palace, he just said calmly after a short while, "You did a good job of suppressing bandits, and you deserve to be rewarded, but you ignored the emperor's order to go to the border pass halfway, and even directly clashed with the King of Liao, I don't remember ever ordering you to do this kind of thing." ”
Ren Jia didn't appreciate Wei Lixin's problem of being obedient even after getting benefits, and stood with His Royal Highness and smiled calmly, "The minister speculates on the holy will and acts recklessly, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Wei Lixin thought of countless answers to Liang Yiyun's response in his heart, but he couldn't prevent this person from being so straightforward, and one sentence directly blocked his soft and hard means, now is the time to use people, Liang Yiyun dares to directly oppose the vassal king, and there is him and Liang Yi behind him, which can be described as the most wonderful chess piece, not to mention that she herself is also talented, the battle of Qingzhou and the state of bandits, and the battle of salt and iron in Chongzhou have impressed him, thinking of this, although he is dissatisfied in his heart, he still eases his complexion, "Although you speculate on your intentions, However, I am very satisfied with the results of this trip to Beijing, and I will reward myself later. However, I still have to ask a few more questions about Yuzhou, how did you come into conflict with the King of Liao? ”
Ren Jia calmly took out a silk book from his sleeve, looked at the handsome emperor in the palace, and smiled slightly, "Naturally, it is for Your Majesty, the King of Liao refused to pay taxes because of the drought in Yuzhou, and he also had many contacts with foreign races outside the Guan, and the minister was very worried after hearing the news, so when he returned to Beijing, he turned to Yuzhou and took the silver ore in Yuzhou from the hands of the King of Liao to relieve His Majesty's worries." ”
Wei Lixin had already learned about this from the secret agent, but at this time, he still showed surprise on his face, and walked a few steps quickly to the girl of His Royal Highness, "Yuzhou Silver Mine? Did you really get it from King Liao? It's a big deal, and you have to say it carefully. ”
Ren Jia told all the things he had done in Yuzhou, neither concealing nor exaggerating, from burning the silver mine in the middle of the night to kidnapping the King of Liao to force him to hand over the silver mine title deed and contract, Wei Lixin listened to it with a slightly gloomy face, although Ren Jia was eloquent and did not describe too much of the hardships and dangers he encountered, Wei Lixin imagined the danger lurking, and looked at the person in front of him for a while The expression was extremely complicated.
Since Liang Yiyun took office as the left and right leading guards, whether it was training, recruiting relatives or going out of Beijing to suppress bandits, he sent secret agents to follow him throughout the whole process, the more he knew, the more frightened he became, how could a girl who was only seventeen years old be so amazing, thinking of his previous speculation about Liang Yiyun's ambitions, he regretted it even more at this time, if he hadn't forced Liang Yiyun to marry early, he would have been able to include people in the harem at this time, and the benefits he would have been able to get in the future would not be a little bit. Even the concubine of the Qi family he once appointed, now that he thinks about it, he is a little dissatisfied, if this person can discover Liang Yiyun's extraordinaryness as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, Wei Lixin thought of this, and at the same time secretly hated in his heart, he couldn't help but take the time to look at the girl in front of him.
Earlier, he was prejudiced against Liang Yiyun because he didn't like Liang Yi's relationship, and after knowing that she relied on her father to run rampant in Yuanjing, he sent someone to find some restless people to tease, and then her words and deeds in Yuanjing really angered many people, especially her entanglement with Qi Yuwen, the concubine of the Qi family, decisively provided a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately everyone did not expect Liang Yiyun to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and since then it has failed.
"That's what happened, and please ask Your Majesty to make a decision." After Ren Jia finished speaking, he waited for Wei Lixin to speak.
"Although you have done a good job, it is a matter of the vassal king, and you will not be able to make decisions in the future!" Although Wei Lixin was satisfied in his heart, he still quietly admonished him, although Liang Yiyun took the Yuzhou silver mine for him, although it suspended the emptiness of the treasury, it also intensified the contradiction between him and the King of Liao, which can be described as a mixed pros and cons.
"Thank you for your kindness, and the minister will not dishonor the holy order in the future." Ren Jia was too lazy to fight for the benefit of her tongue at this time, and she couldn't stop what she was going to do in the future, so why bother to let people stumble on herself openly, and presented the silk book in her hand, with a deeper meaning in her smile, "This is the silver mine deed that the minister got from the King of Liao, Your Majesty might as well take a look." ”
"Yuzhou silver mine is a big deal, I really want to take a good look." When Wei Lixin saw the silk book, his expression improved, he raised his hand to take it and opened it, and a broken finger rolled out of it coldly, which made him startled, "What is this?" ”
Ren Jia seemed to think of something, and said with a somewhat distressed expression, "The minister begged His Majesty to forgive the sin, when the minister fought with the King of Liao, he accidentally broke a finger of the King of Liao, and because he was in a hurry to get out of the way, he put this finger together with the deed of power. ”
Wei Lixin was not afraid of a broken finger, but he was suddenly surprised when he saw it, and when he understood the ins and outs, his expression was very strange, looking at the girl who had just reached his chin in front of him, and suddenly realized that he really couldn't do anything with her this time, neither could he punish the crime, nor could he praise him, so he had to press his heart, anyway, there was only face work left between him and the King of Liao, if he really centrifuged Liang Yiyun for this, it would be more than worth the loss.
After reading and putting away the deed and making sure that it was available, he turned to another matter, "I heard that you led your troops to the grassland by detouring to the border pass, and you stayed at Longquan Pass for a while, what do you think of Longquan Pass?" What do you think of Marshal You and the border aliens? ”
"Marshal You is good at leading the army, and the minister has benefited a lot from following the marshal, as for the border pass of the alien race," Ren Jia's eyebrows were cautious, "Rong Di's heart to go south is not dead, and he has entered the customs many times to provoke, and now he is uniting many tribes on the grassland to plan south, if the minister does not know that the king of Liao has colluded with other races, he will not dare to transfer to Yuzhou without authorization, he is really angry." ”
"I heard that you sent nine thousand taels of gold to Marshal You, but is there such a thing?" Wei Lixin really cares about this is only this one thing, You'an River has guarded the border pass for more than 30 years, and has never let Rong Di go south, he is very relieved of this Dinghai Shenzhen needle in the army, as the pillar of the army left by his father, he has never been harsh on this old minister, although he also wants to hold the border pass with more than 100,000 troops in his hands, but it is better not to move in the absence of a suitable candidate.
Ren Jia saw that Wei Lixin's eyes were not safe, and said quietly, "The minister fought with Rong Di in the grassland, and accidentally grabbed some gold and silver, and after entering the customs, because the border army was short of food and grass, he took the initiative to hand it over to Marshal You in the name of His Majesty, if it weren't for the instability of the border army, the minister would never act like this." ”
"Now that the family in the court has become a faction, the Qi family and the Yan family control the military department, and the matter of the border army's lack of food and grass is naturally their handiwork," Wei Lixin thought of those arrogant families and smiled coldly, "If it weren't for me to maneuver around, it would have only been worse." Speaking of this, remembering that the girl in front of him had arrogantly said that she would help him realize his ambition, Wei Lixin rarely showed a smile, and looked even more handsome and dignified, "On the other day, you said that you wanted to help me get rid of the vassal king's family, but what you said counted?" ”
Ren Jialuo was a little surprised, if she didn't know what to do, Wei Lixin was seducing her with beauty in front of her? After the feeling of this young emperor in her heart dropped even more, she said steadily, "The minister still thinks that the previous many actions have already shown my heart to His Majesty, if this is the case, I can't exchange His Majesty's trust, I'm afraid the minister can only vote for the master." ”
"Another Lord? Liang Yiyun, you are really still so arrogant! If he had spoken like this from his predecessor Jia, Wei Lixin would have been angry, but after seeing the value of the person in front of him, his state of mind had already changed, if he was dissatisfied with her arrogance in the past, he would love her straightforwardness and pride at this time, compared to the sneaky and selfish and yang disobedience of the people in the court, Liang Yiyun, who could follow his instructions and attack the vassal king and showed no mercy, was really amiable.
"The minister has already made it clear that His Majesty is not the master in my heart now, if His Majesty can't do it, the minister will only vote for the master." Ren Jia ignored Wei Lixin's sharp eyes and smiled slightly, "The ancients had a saying, generals are easy to obtain, and the countrymen are unparalleled, if you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman." In this way, is Majesty still satisfied? ”
Wei Lixin looked at the girl in front of him with full attention, and her youth, like a flower like jade, but she was resolute and brave and good at fighting.
Since ancient times, heroes have been lonely, and only good stories have been passed down for thousands of years.
"Since I dare to risk the disapproval of the world and appoint you as the governor of the left and right leaders, I naturally will not be stingy with so much trust," Wei Lixin rarely smiled so purely, looked at the girl in front of him and said, "If you and I can really be suitable for kings and ministers, it may not be a good story for the ages." ”
A tale of the ages? Ren Jia secretly sneered in his heart, if it weren't for her sincerity, Wei Lixin's heart to destroy the Liang family would only be stronger, and now he wanted to use her to make waves with Liang's father a few times, although he thought so in his heart, he said with a satisfied smile on his face, "The minister looks forward to the early realization of His Majesty's great cause, and he is also willing to serve His Majesty." ”
"That's very good." Wei Lixin smiled, and casually took Ren Jia's wrist and walked towards the inner hall, "It's rare for me to be so happy today, Yi Yun might as well have two drinks with me, which can be regarded as a celebration of your achievements in suppressing bandits." ”
Ren Jia was reluctant to go, she had already heard a lot of rumors in Yuan Jing that were sarcastic about her and Wei Lixin's ambiguity, so she directly refused, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the minister is not good at drinking, and the minister returned to Beijing in a hurry, and he has not been to the camp for many days. ”
Wei Lixin is a little worried, it is rare for him to be so enthusiastic, but Liang Yiyun uses these words to prevaricate him, but the future is long, he has many opportunities, since the two are now in the same boat, it is not so simple to get off the boat.
After Ren Jia left the palace, he went directly to the left and right leading the army Wei camp, on the way I thought of Wei Lixin's tone, and secretly sneered at this emperor in my heart, she had just received the merit of suppressing bandits, and there was a dislike between the vassal kings, but now she was pushing her to disagree with the family, and it was really to make the best use of it, but thinking of the concubine of the Qi family, she did not resist, the Zhongshan wolf has been raised for a long time, and now is a good time to slaughter.
