Chen Ran muttered as he walked: "Captain, why did you give this good thing to Mu Xiaofeng cheaply?" ”

"A good thing?"

Shen sneered and said, "Do you really think that the imperial court officials are so active? Although my rank is one level higher than that of the county order, the military and the government are separated, and I have no right to interfere in the locality, and it is a serious crime if the court investigates it. ”

"However, once the imperial court investigates it, isn't it easy to find out about us?"

"It's very easy, as long as Your Majesty asks Zhuang Yongcen Zheng, it will be easy to know that it's me."

"What then?"

Chen Ran's face was a little difficult to look at: "How heavy is this crime?" ”

"Kill the head."

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "If you don't care about it, you have to kill your head, because this matter is not how outrageous the process is, but how big the impact is, even if those civil officials in the court know that the county order of Qingya County is wrong, they will go crazy and ask for serious punishment of me, because I have made a start, once Your Majesty doesn't care about this matter, what the civil officials are afraid of is that the military people interfere with their one-third of an acre of land." ”

Chen Ran's face was even more ugly: "You are still laughing, what should I do, I knew that I wouldn't be so public, I just covered my face and disabled people, it's cleaner than this." ”

"That's not my character."

Shen Leng said: "Although it will be very serious to be detected, and it is also very easy to find out, but because of this, it will not be so easy to find out." ”

This sentence is self-contradictory, and Chen Ran naturally can't understand it.

"Think about it......"

Shen Leng explained as he walked: "Why did we come out?" It's because of Cen Zheng's secret order, and where is the source of this secret order? Do you think it's the old dean of Yanta Academy? The old dean almost didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court, and said many years ago that he would concentrate on teaching and educating people...... Why did the old dean suddenly write a letter to Cen Zheng? ”

Chen Ran was about to go crazy: "I'm a captain of you, just say it, you always ask me, if I had your brain, wouldn't I also be a captain." ”

"The reason is very simple, if I guess correctly, Your Majesty knows about it."

Shen Leng said: "We went to seal the inkstone to help Meng Changan, who is Meng Changan helping?" This matter is not as superficial as what we see, who knows how deep the water is, but since it is a secret trip to Feng Yantai, if His Majesty asks, Cen Zheng will naturally not say that it is the person he arranged, and of course Zhuang Yong will not say it, because he should theoretically belong to the person who does not know, they can betray you and me, not the old dean and His Majesty. ”

"Do you understand?"

Shen Leng asked Chen Ran.

"I don't understand."

Chen Ran shook his head: "But looking at your expression, it doesn't seem to be as serious as I was worried about." ”

"It's really serious, but don't worry too much, we just need to make three preparations."

"Three preparations? Say it quickly. ”

"First, be prepared to act when nothing happens, and no one will know if you ask."

"Second, be prepared for this matter to become serious, and you and I will have to lose our heads."

"Third, get ready to run."

Chen Ran thought about it carefully, Shen Leng's three preparations were not said, that is, the meaning of resignation, but Chen Ran felt that this matter must not be left to fate, he looked at Shen Leng and said seriously: "Otherwise, let's kidnap the Admiral as a hostage after we go back." ”

Shen Leng: "......"

At this time, Shen Leng and they were about to leave Jiangnan Road and enter Hexi Road, and about 100 miles further was the border between Hexi Road and Jiangnan Road, Qingya County was relatively small, and there was nothing worth paying special attention to, but Dongchi County, which was next to Qingya County, was different, Dongchi County was a special place with some special people.

Dongchi County is the fief of King Xin, just like Yunxiao City is the fief of King Liu.

Li Chengle, the king of letters, was far inferior to his brothers in terms of political and military affairs and personal connections, and in a disrespectful phrase, he was the most wasteful of the brothers of His Majesty the Emperor.

Or because King Xin knew very well that he had no chance to inherit the throne, so he accepted his fate early, eating, drinking, and having fun and rarely did serious things, but he could recite poems and poems to linger on the beauty of mountains and rivers, and even the learned Confucians praised him for having poetry and books in his belly.

He also did the feat of not going out of the Qinglou for three days and three nights, and spent a lot of money to redeem himself for the top card of the Qinglou so that he was criticized by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, in short, he was the most undesirable son of the old emperor, and he was also the most relieved son.

King Xin thought that his life would go on like this, until his brother Li Chengyuan, the emperor who had been known as a genius since he was a child, suddenly died, and that damn old thing Mu Zhaotong named his son Li Xiaoran to go to Chang'an City, and he knew that something bad was wrong.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't think it was a good thing.

But Li Xiaoran didn't think so, Li Xiaoran was only eight years old at the time, although he was young, he already had some thoughts of his own, and the moment when he was stopped outside Chang'an City by Pei Tingshan with nine thousand sword soldiers was the darkest and most humiliating moment that he thought until now.

Once, he was a stone's throw away from the emperor's throne in Daning.

Therefore, the relationship between Li Xiaoran and his father Li Chengle, the king of letters, was not good, the former still did not wake up from his dream, and the latter insisted on waking up his dream.

The prince of Daning is different from the prince of other countries, he has a fief but is not allowed to have private soldiers, once it is discovered, it is a felony, a felony that cannot be saved by blood relations, of course, this felony is set for blood relations.

Shen Leng and they had to pass through Dongchi County if they wanted to leave Jiangnan Province.

And at this moment, in the manor at the foot of the watery mountain in Dongchi County, the person sent by the scholar Mu Zhaotong was meeting with Li Xiaoran, the king of letters.

The person sent by Mu Zhaotong is called Yuan Zhidong, and he is a staff member in the university scholar's mansion, and the profession of staff is actually not seen most of the time, because they are the ones who release their talents in the dark.

The prince Li Xiaoran sat on the throne, and now he is in his twenties and can afford to be in his prime, both in terms of knowledge and deeds, he is praised by others, and people in the court say that King Xin can give birth to such a son as a fool, mostly because of his wife's relationship.

You can't think about it, and if you think about it, you will feel very dirty.

Li Xiaoran has the handsome appearance of the Li family, as well as the temperament that he has cultivated strictly for so many years, but it is a little deliberate and contrived.

Sitting next to Li Xiaoran was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, with an elegant and introverted temperament, with three long beards, not saying much, but his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be able to see through the sky at a glance.

This is called Xun Zhi, a famous man in the south of the Yangtze River, he was famous in the world when he was young, and was later invited by the queen to teach the prince Li Changze in the palace, and he was in the palace for five years, and then he didn't know why he left Chang'an City and began to travel the world, and was invited by the prince Li Xiaoran on the way back to Jiangnan, and it has been two years.

Yuan Zhidong said politely: "This time I came to see the prince, mainly because of the family affairs of the scholar, the scholar has always had great respect for His Royal Highness, and before I came, I repeatedly told me to bring the greetings of the scholar to His Royal Highness." ”

Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite between me and the scholar, you come on behalf of the scholar, you don't need to be polite to me, if the scholar wants you to say anything, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." ”

Of course, Li Xiaoran respected Mu Zhaotong, after all, he was the one who almost put him on the throne.

"Your Highness also knows that the only son of a scholar is now in Jiangnan Province, and his life is not satisfactory......"

Yuan Zhidong roughly told Mu Xiaofeng about it, Li Xiaoran of course understood what Mu Zhaotong meant, why did Mu Zhaotong send his son to the water division? Is it really just for the sake of experience and gilding? If Mu Zhaotong only had such a simple idea, then how could he be a veteran of the Three Dynasties and a civil leader.

He's not just going to be a civilian leader...... His Majesty values the water master, Mu Xiaofeng has been in the water master from the beginning, if, yes...... If something big went wrong with Zhuang Yong and he couldn't continue to lead the water division, then Mu Xiaofeng was the person most likely to become the new water division commander.

Holding the sailor in his hands, the father and son are really in power.

"What do you mean, who is that communication box in Chacha Sailor?"

Li Xiaoran sighed: "Although I am not far from Anyang County in Dongchi County, but the scholars also overestimate me, where can I have the ability to interfere in the affairs of the water master, if Your Majesty knows, I can't bear Long Yan's anger." ”

These words were slightly sour.

Yuan Zhidong hurriedly said: "If the prince can assist my young master in controlling the water master, then wouldn't it be a great thing for the prince?" ”

Li Xiaoran raised the corners of his eyebrows: "What you said is a bit rebellious, I am the son of the world, what does it matter to me whether the water master is good or bad?" ”

Xun Zhi looked at Yuan Zhidong: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has also made an appointment with a very important guest, why don't Mr. Yuan rest in the residence arranged for you by the deceased son first?" ”

He got up and went over, helped Yuan Zhidong to stand up, and patted his hand lightly on the back of Yuan Zhidong's hand: "I will accompany the prince to meet the guests first, and invite Mr. Yuan to have dinner in the evening." ”

Yuan Zhidong reacted immediately, and nodded hurriedly: "Then I'll wait for Mr. Xun." ”

After Yuan Zhidong left, Xun looked directly at Li Xiaoran: "Your Highness, the request of the scholar is too much, it's better not to agree." ”

"I know."

Li Xiaoran snorted: "You still treat me as a child, thinking that just a few words can make me go and kill him?" But...... The matter of the water master is indeed a little interesting, if Mu Xiaofeng really becomes the commander of the water master, it will not be a bad thing for me. ”

He asked Xun Zhi: "Sir, he saw you first yesterday, what did he say to you?" ”

"It should be mainly to borrow our hands to get rid of the captain named Shen Leng who has a grudge against Mu Xiaofeng, this is not a big deal, the prince can naturally agree, but the conditions must be good, I will go to see Yuan Zhidong later, and tell him that there are a few people around the prince who have no problem with their ability and knowledge, and they want to go to the sixth department of the capital to find a half-official position, if the scholar agrees, this business will not be a loss."

Xun Zhidao: "Let the scholar know that we have the ability to get rid of the person he wants to get rid of, and Mu Zhaotong will pin his hope of getting rid of Zhuang Yong on Shizi, and the next business can be bigger." ”

Li Xiaoran laughed: "Mr. is amazing, with Mr. by my side, everything is not difficult." ”

At this moment, someone outside ran in quickly, and said a few words in a low voice in Li Xiaoran's ear, Li Xiaoran's face changed: "There is still such a thing?" What a coincidence......"

He looked at Xun Zhi: "Something happened in Qingya County, there was a captain of the Navy Division who directly took off the official uniform of the county order of Qingya County and put people in prison, and that captain called himself Mu Xiaofeng. ”

Xun Zhi was silent for a moment and laughed: "From Anyang County to Qingya County, this is the direction to go to Chang'an through Dongchi County, this fake Mu Xiaofeng, the prince should see it, maybe some play." ”

Li Xiaoran smiled slightly: "New toy?" ”
