Chapter 408: Interesting
Jiedu Embassy.
Zeng Ling has always been a very self-disciplined person, starting from his youth, and has been self-disciplined for decades now.
This terrible self-discipline is in every way, and he is strict with himself, as if those self-disciplined behaviors do not refer to self-restraint and self-discipline, but can be interpreted as the laws of nature.
As long as there is nothing particularly important, at what time to read, what time to practice, when to play the qin, and when to play chess, they are all fixed and unchanged.
This self-discipline lasted until he became an official, but he would make up for it whenever he had time.
After becoming an official, Zeng Ling has another self-discipline, that is, he must think about three things every day.
What should I do, what should my subordinates do, what should my superiors do.
In fact, he was able to come to Jizhou to be a festival envoy precisely because he had figured out people's hearts to the extreme, and because of a word, he asked the great eunuch Liu Chongxin to hand over such a critical position to him.
At that time, the great eunuch Liu Chongxin was thinking about building a palace in his hometown, which was no longer a manor, and the specifications were not worse than the palace, so it was appropriate to call it a palace.
Whoever supervises the construction of the palace for Liu Chongxin will make a lot of money, so Jizhou was targeted by many people in an instant.
Liu Chongxin's filial sons and grandsons were eager to line up and kneel in front of Liu Chongxin to beg for this errand, but Liu Chongxin really made a mistake for a while.
It stands to reason that of course, it would be best to choose one of his cronies as the envoy of Jizhou Jiedu, but at that time, Prince Wu was still in the court, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
At this time, Zeng Ling tried to let Liu Chongxin know a word.
The phrase is...... Zeng Ling knows the depth and understands the severity.
Liu Chongxin already knew Zeng Ling, a person who didn't deliberately bother anyone, but no matter which official arranged him to do something, he would do it beautifully and impeccably.
Of course, Prince Wu also knew Zeng Ling, because everyone in the court wanted to say that I was a disciple of Liu Chongxin, and I was proud of it, but Zeng Ling didn't rely on anything.
Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there is only one person who can make Liu Chongxin feel that he can also make Prince Wu feel that he can.
Zeng Ling didn't show much strength after he arrived in Jizhou, so he made those people in Jizhou Mansion think that he could be bullied.
Even if the name is Liu Chongxin, he also wants to be the envoy of Jizhou Festival, but a Zeng Ling parachuted in, and he was naturally not convinced.
Zeng Ling should be gentle when he should be mild, and when he should be angry, he will definitely have it.
When people came to their senses, they found that in just a few years, Zeng Ling had firmly grasped the military and political power in Jizhou in his own hands, and none of the people who opposed him had a good end.
People like Zeng Ling see that everyone is their own pawn.
Luo Jing is like this, Prince Yu is like this, and Li Qi is also the same.
At this moment, Zeng Ling's eyes sitting behind the table have not left the chessboard, and there are already a lot of pieces on the chessboard, so every next step has become crucial.
There was also a person sitting opposite him, but this person was not playing chess, he was watching Zeng Ling play against himself.
After a long time, Zeng Ling slowly exhaled a breath and threw himself in the towel.
It was at this moment that Luo Jing, who had been sitting quietly opposite him, smiled and said, "People like Lord Zeng should not be bored. ”
Zeng Ling smiled and said, "In life, how can there be so much time to be bored?" ”
Luo Jing said in a very calm tone: "I'm different from you, I don't have any hobbies, and I have nothing to do every day except for practicing and practicing soldiers, so I have a lot of time to be bored." ”
In these words, it seems to be a little interesting, as if to tell Zeng Ling, I have time to spend with you.
Fortunately, Luo Jing didn't wait too long, he came to the door to ask for a meeting, just to see what kind of explanation Zeng Ling would give him.
However, until now, Zeng Ling seemed to have woken up to what Luo Jing was here to do.
"Yesterday's incident, it's inconvenient for me to come forward."
Zeng Ling put down the chess pieces in his hand, took a sip after picking up the teacup, and took advantage of this short time to put back the wording he had just thought of
Tidy it up.
"There are many people in the Jizhou army who were inserted by the prince, and General Luo should also know about it."
"Yes."
"So if I come forward directly, the Jizhou army will be in turmoil."
Zeng Ling glanced at Luo Jing: "So I ordered the Jizhou army to seal the camp, and General Luo should be able to understand my intentions." ”
The Jizhou army sealed the camp, but the tiger and leopard cavalry did not belong to the Jizhou army, so the Jizhou military camp had nothing to do with the tiger and leopard cavalry.
"I really want to thank the envoy of the festival, I asked to see you today, and I also came to thank you."
Luo Jing said with a smile.
Zeng Ling sighed lightly and said, "If I want to tell you, what happened yesterday actually has nothing to do with me, even you, me and Prince Yu were calculated by a young man, do you believe it or not?" ”
Luo Jing said with a smile: "I have always respected Lord Zeng, and I also know that Lord Zeng has taken a lot of care for me. ”
Zeng Ling snorted: "I know that the prince Yang Zhuo has been getting more and more excessively recently, so I entrusted Li Qi to get rid of Yang Zhuo, how could I have thought that he would actually use you ......"
Luo Jing couldn't have imagined yesterday that there was such a complicated process in this.
In that moment, the name Li Qi came out of Luo Jing's heart, and he thought of that ring competition, and Li Qi did not lose to him.
After that, because of the dispatch of troops, he and Li Qi had no intersection.
But of course it was not difficult for him to find out that person was Li Qi, and later he knew that Li Qi assisted Xiahou Zhuo to defend Jizhou, so he paid more attention to it.
"Being used without knowing it."
Luo Jing smiled: "I don't have anything to say." ”
Zeng Ling thought in his heart that Li Qi could use Luo Jing to get rid of Shizi and get rid of Prince Yu, then he should also be able to use Luo Jing to get rid of Li Qi, but now is not the most appropriate time.
Of course, if Luo Jing went to Li Qi's trouble now, he would be happy to see it.
If Luo Jing is difficult to control for a while and kills Li Qi by mistake, then this can transfer the contradiction to Youzhou.
Li Qi is the third leader of the Yanshan Battalion, the Yanshan Battalion is now strong, Zeng Ling knows very well, he wants to win over Yu Chaozong, didn't Luo Geng of Youzhou think of it?
"Young talent."
Zeng Ling thought about the wording and continued: "This Li Qi's talent is indeed terrifying, I haven't felt that a teenager is terrible for a long time. ”
Luo Jing chuckled and said: "The young man is terrible on the surface, he can see it at a glance, the older person is terrible in the place where he can't see it, according to the art of war, the young man is like a conspiracy, and the old man is like a conspiracy, so the older person is more terrifying." ”
Zeng Ling thought about the inner meaning of this sentence, Luo Jing probably wanted to tell him, what are you going to do, I guessed.
So Zeng Ling immediately changed the topic.
Zeng Ling said: "After all, I didn't do a good enough job in this matter, I will write to your father and explain it to him." ”
Luo Jing smiled: "That's not necessary, my father taught me that the process is not a very important thing, and the result is not bad." ”
Zeng Ling nodded.
After a while, he said: "I made an appointment with Li Qi for three days and then I will drink in my house, is General Luo interested?" ”
"I'm not coming."
Luo Jing got up and said, "Say goodbye first, if I want to drink with Li Qi, I can go directly to him." ”
Zeng Ling also laughed, he thought that Luo Jing finally had a little interest in Li Qi, and praised another young man in front of a person like Luo Jing, it would be strange if Luo Jing could be comfortable.
He said that he was going to go to Li Qi for a drink, Zeng Ling thought that this meal would be a little exciting, and he even wanted to go and see it.
When Luo Jing went out, Zeng Ling personally sent it to the door of the mansion, Zeng Ling glanced at it, and asked curiously: "Why don't you see your personal soldier team, but he doesn't leave you, but I haven't seen it today." ”
Luo Jing said: "He was injured yesterday and is recuperating at home. ”
Zeng Ling snorted: "Then I'll go back and send the medical officer over to take a look?" ”
Luo Jing nodded and said, "Although I have already arranged for a medical officer to diagnose and treat it, it is not a big problem, if the festival makes the adult feel that it is necessary, then you can also send the medical officer over." ”
Zeng Ling smiled and said, "Since you have already arranged for the medical officer to see it, then I don't have to let people disturb his cultivation." ”
In this short moment, both of them made a small bet.
Zeng Ling was curious about where Luo Jing's pro-soldier team was going, so he wanted to send a medical officer to see if it was true or fake, if Luo Jing said no, then this medical officer must be sent.
But Luo Jing seemed to be very calm, and Zeng Ling didn't need to let Luo Jing feel that he didn't trust him.
"Farewell."
Luo Jing clenched his fists.
He did not come on horseback, but by car.
The carriage started slowly and left along the street, Zeng Ling watched the carriage go away before turning back, his face had darkened.
"Pawn, sent someone to keep an eye on Luo Jing, he may have already sent someone back to Youzhou, Luo Geng is capricious, if he comes to make trouble again......"
Speaking of this, Zeng Ling felt a headache.
For the first time, he had remorse, he should have appeared last night, and at the time he thought it would be better not to show up, but now that he thinks about it, it is a bad move.
In the carriage.
Luo Jing looked at the young man sitting opposite and couldn't help but sigh: "He really pushed everything down on you." ”
Sitting in front of him was actually Li Qi.
Li Qi smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with pushing it, after all, I did it." ”
Luo Jing said: "So I'm very curious, where did you come from to be so bold, calculated me, and came to the door to find me, and tell me that you calculated me, aren't you afraid that I will really kill you in anger?" ”
Li Qi said: "It is precisely because I am afraid that you will trouble me, so it should be slightly better to take the initiative to come to you." ”
"Hahahaha."
This sentence is afraid that you will make trouble for me, which greatly satisfies Luo Jing's conceit.
He smiled: "So you're afraid of me too? ”
Li Qi replied: "I'm not only afraid of you, I'm mainly afraid of death." ”
Luo Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "What you do doesn't look like something that a person who is afraid of death can do at all." ”
Li Qi smiled and didn't say anything more.
Luo Jing asked: "So you came to me, mainly to tell me that the arrow was shot by Zeng Ling, not you?" ”
Li Qi said: "I mainly want to tell the general that there is a debtor who is wronged. ”
Luo Jing laughed again, and he leaned back and forth in laughter.
After laughing enough, Luo Jing sighed: "It's the first time I've seen such a non-standard sowing discord, you are such a blatant shameless, you are really an interesting person." ”
He asked Li Qi: "Don't you really think about it, if I want to kill you, how can you protect yourself?" ”
Li Qi replied: "I have thought about it." ”
Luo Jing asked, "How?" ”
Li Qi replied: "The 100,000 taels will be divided into half of you at most." ”
Luo Jing laughed for the third time, he really thought Li Qi was interesting, and he looked like he was serious about sharing money, but it was impossible for anyone who was a so-called decent person on the scene to say it.
"Forget the money."
Luo Jing said: "If you promise me two things, I will no longer pursue you in this matter." ”
Li Qi asked, "Is it related to silver?" Anything to do with silver, I'm probably going to have a hard time. ”
Luo Jing was stunned.
He smiled and shook his head, "One is related, and the other is unrelated." ”
Li Qi said: "Let's talk about irrelevant things first." ”
Luo Jing replied, "Fight me again." ”
Li Qi was silent for a moment and then asked seriously: "Then think about it, is it possible to change it to two things that cost money?" ”
Luo Jing was stunned again.
"Hahaha......"
He laughed and said, "You're funny, you're fucking interesting." ”
