King Kang's shot was extraordinary.

The prefect Huang Qianshan never thought that King Kang would take the initiative to visit him, which is not appropriate for reason and reason, but when His Royal Highness King Kang, the ninth prince of today's son, it stands to reason that he should be the prefect of his own house, but now it is directly reversed, there must be a master behind this.

Who is this master? Huang Qianshan finally decided that it was Liu Zhenglong, and only this guy would have such a lot of energy, and only this guy would do this. However, what does Liu Zhenglong mean by pointing at King Kang behind his back? Huang Qianshan has always been a follower of the crown prince, and he is not interested in Liu Zhenglong, a guy who follows King Yun.

It is said that later, Liu Zhenglong showed goodwill to the prince and was received by the crown princess, and this kind of behavior made Huang Qianshan despise and look down on him even more. Otherwise, he would not pretend not to see this Qinling County King to Luoyang, Xijing, and would not allow the officials below to pay a visit.

No matter what Liu Zhenglong's idea is, since His Royal Highness King Kang came in person, in this case, Huang Qianshan can't hold it up, this old fox asked his subordinates to open the middle door, and he went to greet him personally.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness King Kang is coming, and the officials have missed the distance, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." Huang Qianshan's superficial work is still very sufficient, after all, he can't get along with King Kang openly, in that case, the old fox in the political hall will definitely not let him go.

"It's okay, Xiao Wang is just passing by, and by the way, he went to Lord Huang's mansion to ask for a cup of tea, hoping that he didn't disturb the adult's cultivation." King Kang Zhao Gou is also a ruthless person, since he has made up his mind to come to the Huangfu in person, of course he will do his homework and will definitely not leave anything bad.

"Where, where, please inside, prince." Huang Qianshan personally welcomed King Kang to your living room, and in order to show respect, he personally made tea for Zhao Gou.

Huang Qianshan said with a smile: "Xiaguan only has a few catties of phoenix tea here, and I hope His Royal Highness will take care of one or two." ”

"Another day, Xiao Wang sent someone to send a few catties of dragon tea." King Kang Zhao Gou still hated Huang Qianshan in his bones, so his hypocritical politeness made him very unhappy and unwilling to stay longer.

Huang Qianshan is so cunning, how could he not see that King Kang is unhappy? He smiled and said, "Lord, let's chat while drinking tea, and when we have time another day, the lower official will personally go to the left-behind mansion and report to you on official business." ”

"The left-behind mansion is only a symbolic supreme jurisdiction, in fact, Xijing still has to rely on the Huang Governor's Mansion, as for the report, it will be exempted, but you can go to the Xiaowangfu to taste tea when you have time."

"Then I don't know what happened to the prince when he went to the mansion of the lower officials." Huang Qianshan was also reluctant to stay with King Kang Zhao for too long, he hoped to send this plague god away as soon as possible.

"It's nothing, isn't this the defense envoy of the Western Front, Qinling County Duke has come to Xijing, Xiao Wang can prepare a little thin wine to prepare for the county prince to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and I hope Lord Huang must appreciate the light."

Hearing King Kang Zhao Gou say that he would wash the dust for Liu Zhenglong, Huang Qianshan suddenly understood that King Kang was afraid that he would be embarrassed if there were no officials from Luoyang in attendance, so he came to beg for himself.

"This, this." Huang Qianshan didn't agree immediately, he really didn't want to see Liu Zhenglong, and he didn't want to give Zhao Gou this face.

Unexpectedly, King Kang Zhao Gou hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang knows that Lord Huang has a lot of opportunities and may not have time, so for this reception banquet, Xiao Wang did not set a specific time, and the time of the adult shall prevail, anyway, the county prince will not be able to leave for ten days and a half months." ”

Ten days and a half months can not go is a few meanings, it seems that if he does not attend this reception banquet, Liu Zhenglong will not leave in Xijing, Huang Qianshan pondered for a moment and said, "Since the prince is here, even if he is busy with official business, the official has to give face." In this way, in three days, lord, you will see how it is. ”

"Then it's a word, I'll ask someone to send an invitation in advance." Kang Wang Zhao Gou didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, it seems that this Huang Qianshan is not willing to let Liu Zhenglong stay here all the time, since this is the case, then he can save trouble. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. As long as Huang Qianshan participates in this banquet, then everything will fall into place, and when the time comes, even if this guy has three heads and six arms, he will not want to turn over.

I don't know why, Huang Qianshan agreed happily, Kang Wang Zhao Gou was not down-to-earth in his heart, this time is very important for him, he can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness, once there is a deviation, I am afraid that there will never be such an opportunity in the future.

The anxious Kang King Zhao Gou finally chose to visit Liu Zhenglong, hoping that the other party could give him that idea to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Liu Zhenglong was still surprised by the arrival of King Kang, and after listening to Zhao Gou's speech, he said with a smile, "Lord Wang, things are not so complicated, Huang Qian is willing to attend, not to give face to the prince, nor to give face to the lower officials, but to the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty and to the people of the world to give face." The word dignity and order has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every scholar, you are the prince, I am the county prince, no matter what the problem, he must attend this occasion as a magistrate, otherwise he will be spurned by the world's scholars. However, your worries are not unreasonable, and it is better to be wary of this old fox. In this way, this official will meet the Luoyang Soldiers and Horses Supervisor tonight, and the matter will be clear at a glance, you only need to prepare the wine banquet of Yuntian Haixia Tower, from the eighth grade or above, whether it is a civil official or a military general, do not pull down a single one, it is best to invite some gentry and celebrities, not afraid of many people, just afraid of not being lively. ”

It seems that a large sum of silver is needed, King Kang Zhao gritted his teeth and decided to pay this money, after all, this is related to his future fortune, if even this bit of silver is let Liu Zhenglong out, he will be looked down upon by the other party.

After Zhao Gou left, Liu Zhenglong asked Liu Xiaojiu to invite Meng Xuebin, the superintendent of Luoyang soldiers and horses, this person does not seem to have any background, if you dig deeper, you will know that his wife's uncle is Cao Sheng's uncle, if there is no background of the Cao family, this thirty-five-year-old military general will not be able to sit in the position of Luoyang Terracotta Supervisor of Soldiers and Horses.

Meng Xuebin didn't deliberately not come to see Liu Zhenglong, mainly because this guy has been busy suppressing bandits recently, and he didn't have time to visit him, as for not meeting King Kang, this is the meaning of the Cao family, not taking the initiative to communicate with the princes, and making adjustments at any time according to changes in the situation.

The bandits in Laojun Mountain have robbed the official silver several times, which has brought a lot of pressure to Meng Xuebin, and what makes him feel more pressure is that Liu Zhenglong actually sent someone to invite him, which shows that Lord Liu is already very dissatisfied with himself. If it was before, Meng Xuebin, who had a background in the Cao family, could ignore Liu Zhenglong at all, but not now, this man is likely to become the uncle of the Cao family, in this case, it is obviously very stupid to offend rashly.

Since Lord Liu is invited, then he can't help but pretend to be stupid, not pretend, it is necessary to go to the meeting, Meng Xuebin prepared a generous gift, but this is only a superficial article, he knows that Lord Liu lacks nothing, just lacks attitude.

Liu Zhenglong met Meng Xuebin in the small reception room, although he couldn't explain anything, at least let this guy know one thing, that is, don't take yourself too seriously.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Meng Xuebin took the initiative to talk about the infestation of Laojun's bandits, although he did not defend himself as soon as he came up, he could be regarded as talking to the point.

Liu Zhenglong was reluctant to interfere in local affairs, and after listening to it, he said with a smile, "It seems that Lord Meng has not gone to visit His Royal Highness King Kang, and it feels like he deliberately did not go to visit under the influence of the prefect Huang Qianshan, I don't know if there is such a thing." ”

Although Liu Zhenglong looked smiling, Meng Xuebin didn't think about it that way, it was obvious that he was blaming himself for not coming to the problem. This guy originally wanted to explain what the Cao family meant, but he felt that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and after thinking about it, he still knelt on the ground and accepted the mistake.

"You don't have to kneel down to this official, Xijing is not within the scope of this official's moderation, but His Royal Highness King Kang is left behind in Xijing, and he is a dignified prince, you don't go to visit, it's too reckless, if someone is involved in a book, you, the superintendent of soldiers and horses, should also move the nest." Fortunately, there are a lot of princes, and you don't take it seriously, so you can't keep being confused. ”

Liu Zhenglong didn't mean to knock Meng Xuebin, in his opinion, this little soldier and horse supervisor can't get on the table, the reason why he did this is mainly to show the Cao family, so that the Cao family knows not to play any tricks, you can't do everything in this world, you want to burn the incense in front of King Yun's door, and you want to worship King Kang, the Buddha, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Meng Xuebin was sweating profusely and kept kowtowing to admit his mistakes.

"Okay, get up, after you go down, go and talk to Yan Qingdu, he will tell you how to destroy the bandits in Laojun Mountain, such a small thing has dragged on for so long, hey, it's ridiculous. You only need to remember one sentence, in Luoyang City, King Kang is left behind in Xijing, you only need to burn this pillar of incense to be able to sit in this position, don't think about the rest, you don't have to think about it on the Cao family's side, this is not something you should think about, I will talk to the old man. ”

Obviously, at this time, Liu Zhenglong gave an eviction order, and after Meng Xuebin thanked him repeatedly, he left very embarrassed.

The Inspector of Soldiers and Horses looks very big, but in the civil world of the Great Song Dynasty, this seemingly big official position can fool the people, but in Liu Zhenglong's eyes, it is not enough to see, although there is no moderation in Xijing Luoyang, but if you want to get rid of Meng Xuebin, the Supervisor of Soldiers and Horses, it is not much different from stepping on an ant.

Meng Xuebin did not go directly to visit King Kang, but invited Yan Qing to a banquet under the recommendation of Liu Xiaojiu.

Yan Qing had already received the order, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Meng Xuebin.

At the banquet, Yan Qing didn't want to go around in circles, he said straight to the point, "Lord Meng, let's talk about the situation of the bandits in Laojun Mountain, while my brother is still in Luoyang, let's get rid of this bandit's nest and save trouble in the future." ”

The Laojun Mountain bandits who tossed Meng Xuebin were nothing at all in Yan Qing's eyes, after all, they had mixed up in Liangshan at the beginning, compared to Liangshan, what did the little Laojun Mountain bandits count, plus they had experienced the Western Xia War, so they didn't take the Laojun Mountain bandits seriously.

Meng Xuebin poured the wine for Yan Qing very reverently and said, "There were originally thousands of bandits on Laojun Mountain, and there has been no major problem, several leaders on the mountain, Choujun Ma Xuanzan, Yum General Han Tao, Moyun Golden Winged Ou Peng and others have ordinary skills, and they dare not provoke the officials and soldiers at all. But half a year ago, after coming from Liangshan, Jin Leopard Yang Lin, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang and others, they became strong and strong, and they even snatched the official silver. ”

"I thought it was a big deal, it was very simple, as long as you invited my second brother Wu and Brother Luda to have a drink, the matter would be solved in the sky, and it would not cost you a single soldier."

Yan Qing didn't expect that people like Yang Lin and Lu Fang could also be powerful, it seems that this Meng Xuebin really has a problem with his ability and can't become a climate, but now he still needs this guy, and he can't do things desperately.

Meng Xuebin didn't expect it to be so simple, but since people can say that they can solve the problem, it means that they don't take Lao Junshan seriously, and since this is not to help him get rid of a piece of heart disease.

In any case, the problem of Laojun Mountain is not a big deal, in this case, Meng Xuebin is much more relaxed, and when he goes to see King Kang, he is full of confidence and very devoutly loyal to him.

Now for King Kang, radishes and cabbage are good vegetables as long as they are picked up in the basket, and there is not even a usable person around. However, he also knows that all this is the credit of Liu Zhenglong, and if he wants more people to take refuge in him, he needs to work harder.

With the surrender of the soldiers and horses, at this time, King Kang Zhao Gou has a foundation, I believe that this time to clean up Huang Qianshan will definitely be very smooth, and then he will have enough strength to suppress those officials who do not obey discipline.

After Yan Qing came back, she simply reported the situation to Liu Zhenglong.

After listening to this, Liu Zhenglong said, "It seems that this Luoyang Soldier and Horse Supervisor will be replaced after a while, but not yet." Let Shi Yong, Wu Er, and Luda take a trip, after these people are incorporated this time, they will be handed over directly to Shi Yong, our Long Xiang Army will not recruit these people again, after all, there is not so much time to discipline discipline issues. You should also hurry up and prepare, Yuntian Haixia Tower, this time it is the Imperial City Division and Shi Yong who are the protagonists on their side, but they can't be sloppy at all, after all, this kind of thing can't be missed. As soon as Huang Qianshan goes upstairs, you will block the streets and not allow anyone to enter and leave Yuntian Haixia Tower, after this matter is over, we should go to the capital, I don't want anything to go wrong. ”

Yan Qing is very cautious, which makes Liu Zhenglong feel at ease. This time to deal with Huang Qianshan, he didn't want to make a move, and gave the people below a chance to exercise. Only Cai Kun, Shi Yong and others can do things well, so they can stay by King Kang's side in the future.

Cai Kun and Shi Yong, the two of them are bright and dark, and they are placed next to King Kang Zhao Gou, no matter what Zhao Gou does, it is impossible to take down both of them, so many things have been much simpler.

In fact, Liu Zhenglong is not optimistic about Zhao Gou at all, but the Great Song Dynasty is about to usher in a catastrophe, and it is obviously not possible to have a monarch who can turn the tide. The prince is mean and unkind, timid and cowardly, and is destined not to succeed in a big thing, as for King Yun, hehe, this champion prince and his father have a virtue and literary talent, but it is not good to be an emperor. In the absence of a choice, he can only reluctantly bet on King Kang Zhao Gou.

Things went more smoothly upstairs in Yuntian Haixia than Liu Zhenglong imagined, King Kang finally with the help of Cai Kun, Kuang Zhu, Shi Yong and others, let Huang Qianshan retreat knowing the difficulty, for this old fox in the officialdom, he can still be an official in a different place, but if he pokes those problems, it will be completely useless.

Luoyang officialdom has undergone dramatic changes, the prefect Huang Qianshan left overnight after eating a banquet, as for why, no one knows, but everyone knows that the sky in Luoyang is going to change, and they rush to meet King Kang one by one. For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Luoyang Stay-at-Home Mansion, and it was not lively.

It was only at this time that King Kang really understood the meaning of Liu Zhenglong's words, and also understood how to use the power in his hands and how to control the following officials. Zhao Gou firmly believes that even if Liu Zhenglong leaves, he will be able to control the entire Xijing, which is destined to soar to the sky, as for the next step, it still needs the guidance of a master.

The problem of Laojun Mountain is even simpler, Wu Er and Lu Da came forward to solve this matter quickly, and Yang Lin and others are also willing to work for King Kang, after all, it is much better to do things in Luoyang Stay Mansion than to be a bandit in the mountains.

However, the bandits of Laojun Mountain were not disbanded, but left half of them, led by Lu Fang, after all, Luoyang will also be a battlefield when the Jin army goes south in the future, and it is very necessary to leave a strange army.

After Wu Er and Luda dealt with the matter, they came to report to Liu Zhenglong.

Liu Zhenglong has never thought about how to place Wu Er and Luda, but now that he has an idea, these two people in front of him are good helpers if they are used well, and if they are not used well, they will waste materials.

"Wu Er, Luda, this time when you enter Beijing, you will stay in the official's mansion, and the safety of your family will be handed over to you, I believe you will do a good job." Liu Zhenglong knew that if he returned to Beijing this time, if he returned to Jingzhao Mansion again, then his family would have to stay in the capital, and to put it bluntly, he would be hostages. This is unavoidable, after all, with heavy troops, the imperial court will not be at ease. With Wu Er and Luda here, many things are good to say, and the two cooperate with each other to cope with the complex and changeable situation in the capital.

Entrusting the family to come, this responsibility is too heavy, Wu Er, Luda knew that this showed Lord Liu's trust in him, and the two knelt on the ground and vowed to protect the safety of Liu's mansion with their lives.

When they came to Xijing, the big and small officials pretended not to see it, and when they left Xijing, the big and small officials in Luoyang headed by King Kang saw each other off in the street. This is the change, but this change is very important for King Kang, heralding the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
