Chapter Eighty-Five: Two Tigers Fight
Li Lin is actually very reluctant to come to this palace, he always feels uncomfortable staying here, most of the time it is gloomy, no popularity, everyone's face is the kind of no smile, lifeless expression, hard to come to the vertical arch hall and say to the guards that he wants to see Zhao Zhen, after entering, he saw his cousin reviewing the folds, Zhao Zhen motioned for him to sit down.
Li Lin was uncomfortable, it was strange that he could be at ease after letting the emperor watch it for a long time, Zhao Zhen said happily: "Didn't you like to come here before?" Your Zhaowu lieutenant should be on duty, how did I hear that when it is your turn, you will have a stomachache, a headache, and you won't come when you change your tricks, the sun is coming out in the west today, and you don't have much time to take the initiative, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, right? If you make any mistakes, if it's not serious, I can help you intercede with your uncle. ”
Li Lin said: "Am I as unbearable as you say? Can't I come into the palace to see you if I'm fine? ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "That's good! Okay, let's not talk about things today, let's talk about family life at will, let's go, follow me to the queen's place, let's have two drinks. ”
Zhao Zhen pretended to get up and leave, Li Lin sat and didn't move, Zhao Zhen smiled even more happily, a child who didn't have a little city government was still playing this set in front of him, Li Lin was in a hurry, why was he so useless? I thought about it at home, but when I got here, I didn't dare to say it, so I cheered myself up and plucked up the courage to say, "I want to ask you for one thing." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "I know that it is not so simple for you to come to see me, let's say, what's the matter." ”
Li Lin licked his face and said embarrassedly: "I want to share your worries, you can see if there is a suitable position for me." ”
Zhao Zhen said with an incredible expression: "What did you say? ”
Li Lin will be a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he said loudly: "You can give me an official!" After speaking, he closed his eyes and didn't look at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen was laughed at by Li Lin's words, and he couldn't breathe when he laughed, and the little eunuch behind him helped to Shun Shun Zhao Zhen stopped with a smile, looked at Li Lin and said: "You don't want to come to the palace to be on duty, this is the easiest job, do you have the patience to let you do things?" Being an official is not a joke, if you talk about playing, I don't take it seriously, if you are serious, then I will be serious. ”
Li Lin said firmly: "I'm not joking with you, I'm serious, if I don't do well, I will never mention the matter of being an official to you again in the future." ”
Zhao Zhen also put away his playful heart, looking at his only cousin, how much like himself ten years ago! But he is better than his own life, Zhao Zhen said: "If you want to be an official, you can, you don't need to say what will happen in the future, you are more worthy of me than outsiders, why did you suddenly have this thought, it won't be because of that letter, right?" It seems that yes, the two brothers have gone out to do things, although Xiucai is not yet famous, but he is running around for national affairs, you have seen the comparison, so you want to do things, is that so? ”
Li Lin lowered his head and said: "Yes, I am as old as them, I can do what they can do, everything they do is life-threatening, I think I can do something that is not dangerous and I am confident that I can still do it." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Very good, it seems that your two brothers have a great influence on you, which is a good thing, but I have one condition, you must agree, otherwise you will stay at home obediently, then don't think about going." ”
Li Lin had a bad premonition, he looked at Zhao Zhen cautiously and said, "If you say it, I'll listen to it first." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "You must get married first, my uncle has told me several times about this, and if you agree, I will let the queen help you find a candidate, if you don't agree, where will you go back and forth from there." ”
Li Lin covered his head in pain, sure enough, Xiucai said that marriage is Aiqing's grave, and he also believes that after getting married, can he still fall in love with those young ladies on the banks of the Bianhe River? The days before the moon will be far away from themselves, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, shrinking the head is a knife, raising the head is also a knife, he said: "I promised, now you are satisfied." ”
Zhao Zhen knew that he would agree, a man with a sense of shame must not want to lag behind in this matter, not to mention that the two brothers are still moving forward desperately, not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods, Zhao Zhen said: "As long as you are willing to go up, this is not a problem, you go back first, and I will let Zhongshu Province make an order tomorrow morning." ”
Li Lin went back with apprehension, Zhao Zhen talked about it with Empress Cao in Huining Palace, and Empress Cao said happily: "He is finally sensible, he can share your worries, it seems that he has grown up, and his daughter-in-law's affairs are wrapped up in me." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Compared to him, I am still optimistic about Cao Feng, at such a young age, he dares to go to Quanzhou alone, his ambition is commendable, the younger generation of the Cao family, he still has a little talent, and the others are lazy and lazy." ”
Empress Cao sighed and said, "The Cao family is already extremely wealthy, and it's better if there is no interest, but Xiao Feng has something to do with his growth environment, right?" The last time the second brother saw me and said that this kid wanted to split up and go out, he didn't know that he left the Cao family for nothing, right? ”
Zhao Zhen didn't care about what the queen subconsciously wanted to express, he said: "We husband and wife should know over the years that I am not the kind of person who unloads the mill and kills the donkey, in the final analysis, they are not enterprising, Cao Feng wants to split up the family, I support it, a good man should use his hands to win glory and wealth by himself, instead of relying on the ancestor Meng Yin, do you have a stomach reaction in two days?" This king is the only one, and he won't come back if he goes to Luoyang, so Luoyang is better than Kaifeng. ”
The next morning, Prime Minister Lu Yijian read out a holy decree, Zhaowu Lieutenant Li Lin was named Ding'an County male, known as the military weapons supervisor, standing in the front rows of the court no one objected, because they knew who Li Lin was, was named a small county man, harmless, the back cover was still tens of thousands of miles away in the Lingnan indigenous land, a holy decree did not even have a little wave, just like that.
It's been almost a month since Lu Zifei left Luoyang, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, the streets of Luoyang have hung red lanterns, adults and children have joyful expressions on their faces, Lu Zhuangzi in the western suburbs outside the city can't see the feeling of the New Year, the head of the family is not there as if this family has no soul, everyone has a sense of absent-mindedness in doing things, they are all praying that the head of the house will come back soon, Shao Yong and Master Li's faces show a little more worry at most, I hope everything is fine.
The people they miss have arrived in Xiping Mansion yesterday, and they will sleep after arriving, five people were woken up by hunger at noon today, and after eating Lu Zifei asked about the situation on Wu Qing's side, the business is going very smoothly, and the profits are also very large, and he flipped through the account book at will, Lu Zifei said: "It's the New Year soon, tell the people below, the people who can't go back to the Xiping Mansion this year, each person will be given an extra ten yuan as compensation, how long will it take for the next goods to arrive, is there an accurate time?" In a while, you can make an appointment with the person named Wei Mu Chengyong, and I will talk to him after dinner. ”
Wu Qing said: "The next trip will arrive in four to five days according to the time, Wei Mu Chengyong can make an appointment at any time, and the news from Shaanxi says that we should not act rashly, so I have not given him an accurate answer." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Xiping Mansion can be reached in two days by horse from Xingqing Mansion, did you send someone?" ”
Wu Qing said: "Bu Su took two people to go, there is no news back for the time being, you eat first, and I will go to find Wei Mu Chengyong." ”
A few people were in a hurry on the road, they didn't eat a good meal, they all chewed slowly when they arrived at the destination, and it took more than an hour to finish, and the dinner table was a mess, similar to the battlefield after the war, Wu Qing said that the person arrived, Lu Zifei went to the living room and saw a person who couldn't see his age from his appearance standing there waiting, he said: "Please sit, you're welcome"
After Wei Mu Chengyong sat down, he was also observing Lu Zifei, he was too young, could such a young person be the leader of the caravan? A pair of eyes are bright, dressed in a green shirt, a standard Song person, he still despises it in his heart.
Lu Zifei said: "My name is Li Lin, I am the owner of this place, I heard that you have something to discuss with me, I hope you can say something that interests me, otherwise I will tell Lord Wuzang your true identity, I think he is more eager to know something than me." ”
Wei Mu Chengyong said: "Can you decide anything in Xiping Mansion?" Or what do you want to know. ”
Lu Zifei said: "I can make all the decisions about the caravan, as for what you said, I feel that you need to take it step by step, what do you say?" ”
Wei Mu Chengyong raised Lu Zifei's status a little bit in his heart, he was not a daredevil, he said: "Of course, you said that you can do it all at once, I may turn around and leave." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Basic trust takes time to cultivate, I ask you a few questions, and you answer me." ”
Wei Mu Chengyong said: "Not all questions will be answered by me. ”
Lu Zifei smiled and said: "What is the situation of the Yeli family now, how to make them disappear, after the Yeli family disappears, which family or tribe is more likely to rise, will they rise, will it be the next Yeli family, how can we avoid this situation, and the last question, I want horses." "If Fan Zhongyan is here, he will hug Lu Zifei and kiss him a few times, and the questions he thinks about are almost the same.
Wei Mu Chengyong didn't expect the other party to be so direct, there was no foreplay, and he directly picked up the gun and got on the horse, don't you Song people all ask a few questions tentatively before entering the topic? People like you are going to be shy. are a few very tricky questions, pointing to the point, he said: "Let the Yeli family perish, you need to crush the last straw of the camel, this is what Wu Zang Pang said to me personally, the fall of the Ye Li family, the most likely is the Wu Zang family, you don't want to let the family dominate, then support another family." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Are the two tigers fighting? ”
