Chapter 297: A Blunt Blow
readx;?β At that time, the minister only wanted to get up immediately, so that he could enter the Beijing as soon as possible! Now, I finally got what I wanted...... "The tearful King of Hejian walked to the saint on his knees, bowed his head again, and his whole body seemed to be full of excitement and extreme excitement, and even more with irrepressible admiration. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoThis situation is enough to make many onlookers can't help but be slightly moved.
The saint was no exception, and with a smile like a spring breeze, he personally helped him up: "How could I not remember? At that time, it was rare to see my nephew, who was much older, and I almost remembered that I wanted to call you 'brother'. Your 'Uncle Jin' made me stunned for a while, and I didn't know how to respond for a while. "The rank of the Hejian County King is the lowest in the clan, a group of clan princes and county kings are all elders, and those who are old enough to become his children and grandchildren are out-and-out peers.
After smiling at each other with intimate memories of the past, the cheap uncle and nephew sat down warmly and greeted each other. Li Jing blinked, listening to the king of Hejian lightly skipping many things during the journey, and did not mention all kinds of important things about military training in the town, only talking about his feelings after entering Beijing, he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart: I haven't returned to Beijing for a few years, and it's only been a day since I returned to Chang'an, how can I have so much to say?! They are not those female dependents who are interested in the shortcomings of their parents, who wants to listen to him say this?!
Li Wei noticed that he was already full of complaints, and quietly punched him in the waist as a warning. He held back the pain, and finally managed to stabilize his calm expression, but he couldn't help but be angry and glared at his brother. Fortunately, everyone was listening intently to the conversation between the cheap uncle and nephew, and no one paid attention to the two brothers, otherwise it would be inevitable to teach people to see the clues.
The sage was not in a hurry or impatient, listening to the king of Hejian describing the scenery of Chang'an, as if he had discovered the prosperity of the capital overnight, he hooked his lips and smiled: "The border is bitter and cold, but I have wronged you." It's better to stay in Chang'an for a little longer, and I will hold a banquet to entertain you every day, which can be regarded as a reward for your loyalty over the years. β
"The minister can't afford it......," the king of Hejian County sighed with a smile, "but he did something within his bounds, and he actually bothered the saint to set up a banquet to reward him, and the minister really didn't want to go." Speaking of hard work, the grandfather of the Yongan clan has been riding horses for decades, and he is old again, so he should stay in Chang'an and enjoy the joy of family. The minister is now in the prime of life, and he can continue to guard the land for the saint for decades! β
"I know your faithfulness." The sage seemed to be a little emotional, "We are all descendants of the Li family, how can some people always stay in Chang'an to enjoy happiness, while others have to taste the truth of wind, frost, rain and snow?" I will also persuade Uncle Yong'an to let him retire in the capital with peace of mind. As for you, no matter how reluctant I am, I have to let you go to the border, otherwise I won't be able to let go. However, there is no need to shirk the matter of holding a feast. It's the end of the year now, so it's good to celebrate lively, and it's a good sign to return to Shengzhou with joy. β
The king of Hejian County hesitated for a moment, and then hesitated: "This year, heavy snow has fallen near Shengzhou, and there is a shortage of grain and grass, and the Turkic and Tiele tribes attached to it seem to be a little unstable, and the minister is really a little worried. If they make a disturbance and make trouble, what kind of face will the minister have to participate in the banquet held by the saints? And what face do you have to call yourself a saint and be faithful? β
"That's just as well." The saint did not insist, but sighed, "That's a pity. β
The king of Hejian couldn't help but relax slightly, and was about to say a few good words to the past, when he heard someone next to him suddenly say: "Sage, forgive Weichen bluntly: the clan is finally reunited, if you don't get together for a while, I don't know when the next reunion will be." Especially the king of Yong'an County and the king of Hejian County, who rushed back to the capital for thousands of miles, and rushed back in a hurry before they had time to rest for a while. β
The voice was extremely young, slightly low, but as gripping as the sound of a hole flute. The King of Hejian felt a little familiar, and when he looked back, he saw the young and handsome low-level official he had just met yesterday smiling at him, and he was magnificent: "Especially the King of Yong'an County is very old, and the King of Hejian County is recovering from a serious illness, so it is better to be careful." It's better to recuperate for a while, and when the spring flowers bloom, it's not too late to leave for Shazhou and Shengzhou. β
The sage raised his eyebrows and said, "What Aiqing said is extremely true. I am not at ease - if they all fall ill on the way, it means that I am not sympathetic to my subordinates' faults. I summoned all the clans this time, just to reunite, but I can't overwork my two henchmen and generals in the town. Otherwise, the gains outweigh the losses. β
The king of Hejian immediately wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Although the saint can rest assured, the minister is already fine...... In fact, staying in Chang'an is also the minister's wish, but the situation in Shengzhou is a little complicated, and the minister really can't let go...... Alas, if I knew today, the minister should have cultivated an assistant who could be a good assistant......"
"The king is at ease." The young official continued, "It's just that there is a shortage of grain and grass, and we only need to dispatch it from several nearby states." After all, the Turks and Tiele tribes have been attached for a long time, and if there is no life-and-death accident, there will be no chaos. What's more, several Turkic generals are in Beijing and have prestige, so they only need to send them a letter to appease one or two, and they will be safe. β
The king of Hejian couldn't find any other excuse for a while, so he had to respond with a smile. The saint glanced at his changing expression, and said both true and false: "What? Fang Cai also said that Beijing is prosperous and wants to stay with me to drink, but now Wang Aiqing has offered advice to solve your worries, but you don't seem to be happy? β
"No, of course the minister is happy!" King Hejian hurriedly said, "It's just that I have some worries in my heart." This Wang Langjun is quick to think and can solve the worries of his ministers in time, and he is indeed worthy of being the youngest leader of the dynasty. The minister's dog is only two or three years younger than him, but he is far from it!! β
The saint stroked his short mustache and smiled very happily: "The Jiadi-shaped head I personally took is naturally not comparable to ordinary young people. "No matter what official rank he is in, he can detect his intentions in time and stand up immediately, his combat effectiveness is unmatched, and he has no family burden - such a talent, such a lonely minister, he is naturally extremely satisfied." But don't be too modest. Your eldest son is an honest child, and he looks very similar to Xuanqi in the past. I can't tell you when I will stand out and become my right-hand man? β
The king of Hejian County smiled and said a few words humbly, and looked at Wang Buque without a trace, his eyes sank slightly. Not long after, the sage summoned Li Wei and Li Jing brothers again, let them know the king of Hejian County, and praised: "These two children are quite talented in soldiers, I plan to let them live and train for a few years, and in the future, they will also be far away from the frontier of the town, and share the worries of your generals." When the time comes, you are not allowed to hide your secrets, and teach them out as early as possible, so that you can return to Chang'an to enjoy leisure, right? β
"The sage said very well, the minister will do his best for the idle days of his own childhood." The King of Hejian agreed, and a cold light crossed his eyes.
Li Jing glanced at him keenly and quietly, and became more and more disgusted by this person. He had already made a choice, if the saint wanted to hand him over to the king of Hejian to teach, he would definitely not agreeβin other words, the saint knew that this person intended to rebel, so he should not send his nephew to him as a hostage for nothing?
After talking for several hours in a row, the sage left the three nephews in the palace for lunch and evening food, and then reluctantly let them out of the palace. As soon as the king of Hejian County left with his front foot, Li Jing took advantage of Li Wei's thoughtfulness and immediately rode straight to the palace of Xin'an County.
After he came to Li Hui's study and described the scene of Fang Cai vividly, Wang Zixian also came over. The three of them moved to the secret room and sat down opposite each other, and had a little supper. Princess Changning, the county lord of Xin'an, and Du Jialan listened quietly beside them, with different expressions, as if they were thinking about countermeasures, and as if they were vaguely worried.
At some point, there were several more people in the room. Li Jing turned to look and recognized most of the familiar faces. Wang Zixian's two younger sisters, as well as his younger brother He Cheng, needless to say, have all known each other; Yan Balang is also an old man, Li Hui's cousin, and he is now the general supervisor who is responsible for repairing the Yue Wangfu and building the Tianshui County Palace-
As for Cheng Wei, Cheng Jiusi? Didn't you take refuge in the Yang family before? Could it be that it was a dark chess piece that was buried at some point? Or did you recruit him? Who is the other bearded man with a straightforward face? Or even a young child? With his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't understand anything, and if he didn't understand anything, he could enter the secret room at will? Don't worry about him revealing secrets?!
Seeing that his expression changed slightly, Li Hui followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Cheng Jiusi and his senior brother Fan Zhengchong are friends that Zixian met when he traveled abroad. Now Jiu Siren is supervising the imperial history, and he is planning to take the martial arts test. However, if you don't have someone to trust around you, you can take him to Shazhou. Zhengchong has also traveled alone, and he knows the frontier scenery very well, which should be a great help for you. β
"Welcome." Li Jing's eyes immediately lit up slightly, carefully looked at Fan Wu's sturdy and thick figure, and sighed, "Looking at it, it looks like a master!" Another day, we'll have to compete in martial arts! After that, he glanced at the child in the corner again, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, whose family is that child?" It doesn't look like our Li family...... Or their royal family. β
"That's Zixian and my disciple, Yang Shen, nicknamed Ah Tao." Li Huidao called Yang Shen over and saluted the elders, "We have been a little busy recently, so we sent Ah Tao to Mr. Song to study." At the moment, I am idle, and I have just taken him over and plan to teach him personally. There will be many opportunities for you to meet in the future, and you will soon become acquainted. β
Li Jing instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, so he didn't think about it anymore. The sisters of the Wang family glanced at each other silently, exchanged glances with Princess Changning vaguely, and couldn't help but look at Du Jialan curiously; He Cheng was sitting precariously, just not knowing, and Cheng Wei was also smiling and silent. As for Fan Wu and Yan Balang, they didn't notice anything at all, but they were the same as always.
The county lord of Xin'an looked at his brother, and saw that he had "taken it for granted" to ignore some details, and asked with great interest about Yang Shen's schooling, as if he was an elder, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that she can never expect her brother to be as full of heart as her cousin. Even if it is an extra eye, it may take decades.
