Chapter 266: The Zheng Clan's Difficulty
Li Jun pricked up his ears and listened, he was a little nervous in his heart, culture was his own big difficulty. King Xiang said that he would guarantee his victory, but I don't know what the best way to go?
The King of Siam thought to himself: "The Great Song Dynasty is a civilized state, and Siam is tantamount to seeing a great witch compared to their Great Song Dynasty; Moreover, Li Jun has already performed so well, passing the three levels is like a hand, if he accidentally misses in the last level, then he will not have a successor, and the princess will continue to be an older leftover girl? ”
Therefore, the king of Siam weighed it and said: "The Great Song Dynasty is a country of civilization through the ages, and this king will no longer bring humiliation on himself." I hope that in the future, Li Gongzi can carry forward the civilization of the Central Plains in Siam! ”
This move was unexpected by everyone, and Qu Ping's original plan to deal with it was useless.
After listening to this, Li Jun finally relieved his heart.
Qu Ping smiled: "Congratulations to the king, happy to get a horse!" ”
The King of Siam laughed and rejoiced.
Li Jun was a little embarrassed, at this time, a beautiful girl ran over with a bouquet of flowers, lowered her head shyly, stuffed the flowers into Li Jun's arms, and then ran away shyly and disappeared out of the crowd.
Li Jun continued to spend, a little at a loss. Where did this girl come from, she is too ignorant, I'm a dignified quasi-concubine, not an ignorant girl who can express her thoughts casually.
Qu Ping's eyes lit up and asked the King of Siam: "Presumably the one just now...... It's a princess, right? ”
The King of Siam said happily, "Laugh, laugh." ”
Qu Ping shouted at Li Jun: "Li Jun, that one just now is the princess!" How about calling your heart, as you like? ”
Li Jun didn't know how to express his mood at the moment, he looked at the flowers in his hand, the breeze was blowing, it was so fragrant!
Qu Ping and his entourage stayed in the Siam palace for two days, establishing a mutually beneficial, mutual trust, friendly and peaceful peace between the two countries, and basically establishing the relationship between Li Jun and the princess.
But Li Jun said that he had too many older princesses, and he was really not worthy of Her Royal Highness the princess, and he also had to escort the prince back to Beijing, not to mention the long distance and travel time, and even life and death were uncertain.
Qu Ping knew that Li Jun didn't want to be restrained, and secondly, because he himself had long passed the age of male and female love, and he had long lost his passion.
Qu Ping was about to persuade Li Jun again, but the princess said with red eyes: "I'll wait for you for three years." If you don't come back for three years, our engagement will be over! ”
When the princess had finished speaking, she turned around and ran, presumably very sad in her heart.
Qu Ping sighed, this is not a product of free love, and it is really hard for him to say anything.
The King of Siam was a little angry and said, "Since you have agreed and completed the examination, you should follow the promise." I am the king of Siam, although I am not a golden mouth, but I am not a child's play! ”
Seeing that the King of Siam was angry, Qu Ping appeased: "The king is angry. Li Jun is just afraid that he will go with me, and it will be a long time...... You also know that the princess is at the age of flowers, and she is afraid of delaying the princess's youth. ”
Li Jun saw Qu Ping giving him a look, so he had to reluctantly say, "That's true." ”
The King of Siam was a little relieved after hearing this, it turned out that he was thinking about the princess, it seems that I misunderstood.
The king of Siam said, "Then I will wait for you for three years, nay, a year...... A year and a half. If you haven't come back, you're in default. ”
Li Jun had to agree first: "Thank you, king." ”
Qu Ping also said: "Thank you for the king's understanding." When I arrive in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, I will definitely let Li Jun come back as soon as possible. You can rest assured that Li Jun will become the son-in-law of Siam one day sooner, and it will also deepen and strengthen the friendship between the two countries as soon as possible, and you and I will both be happy to see it happen. ”
When the King of Siam heard Qu Ping say this, he apologized for his previous attitude.
Now that all things have been decided, it is time to take his leave.
This is a farewell, lonely for thousands of miles; This past year should be a good time.
Qu Ping said: "It's really embarrassing to disturb the king in Dacheng for a few days. This king is also like an arrow, return to the Great Song Dynasty one day earlier, and let Li Jun return to you one day earlier. ”
"Stay a few more days, so that the two sides can enhance their relationship?" The King of Siam said.
Qu Ping said: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" I wonder if the two riding elephants promised by the king before can still be honored? ”
The king of Siam knew that Qu Ping could not stay, so he said: "I have prepared for you a long time ago, and I have specially equipped two riders to hold the rope for you, so that the elephant will not be disobedient when he sees the living." ”
"Thank you so much for the king's thoughtfulness for us!" Qu Ping thanked, "The mountains don't turn around, and we will have a period later." We're on our way right away. ”
The king of Siam had two elephants and sent Qu Ping and the four of them to step on a ladder and go up to the elephant's back.
Qu Ping and Zhuang Wei were in a group, Li Jun and Xiao Hei were in a group, and there was a rider sitting in front of each group.
Under the control of the rider, the elephant behaves very docile and honest.
The king of Siam had the food and silver needed for the road sent to the elephant and hung it on his back, and the two sides exchanged precious treasures.
Just as everyone was about to pull out, the Siamese princess ran over, she looked at Li Jun, wanting to say but didn't know what to say.
Li Jun's heart softened, since he agreed to take the exam, he should have the courage to take responsibility, otherwise he would be a man who dared to act.
Li Jun jumped down from the elephant's back, untied a pendant from his neck, stuffed it into the princess's hand, and said, "Wait for me!" ”
Ah Hao on the side was happy for the sweetness of this moment, and translated: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Li Gongzi said that he loves you, please wait for him, and you must not give up!" ”
Li Jun glared at Ah Hao angrily, and the princess turned from worry to joy and said, "Take care all the way, I'll wait for you!" ”
Li Jun glanced at the princess with a complicated expression, jumped on the back of the elephant, waved his hand at the people behind, and said to Qu Ping: "Lord Wang, if you don't leave, I won't be able to continue acting." "Latest
"What are you acting, it's clearly revealing your true feelings." After Qu Ping finished speaking, he ordered, "Go, go!" King of Siam, goodbye! ”
Ah Hao continued to stay in Ayutthaya, relying on Li Jun's face, and the King of Siam arranged a sesame official for him. Ah Hao thought to himself, when Li Jun, the big backer, comes back, he will be able to soar to the glory of his ancestors.
Two elephants and six people, out of the big city in a beautiful way.
There had already been a report in Siam, and the group went all the way north unimpeded. No thief dares to fight them, because looking at this posture of showing off his might, he is not a master to be provoked.
I am about to go to the Queen's Kingdom, and when I leave the Queen's Kingdom, I will return to the embrace of the motherland.
Qu Ping thought to himself, I don't know what secrets the queen country has, so that Zhao Chengzhang can say it amazingly.
Even if he has a big secret, Qu Ping doesn't want to explore it, he just wants to return to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible and see his wife and children.
However, providence is always unsatisfactory. The secrets of the Queen's Kingdom are waiting for him ahead.
Before Qu Ping arrived at the Queen's Kingdom, because of the plague incident in the Heavenly Prison, Qin Hui, who had been under the pressure of Zhao Gou for a period of time, found new fun.
The prefect of Fujian Road gave the emperor an excerpt, saying that Zheng Guang and Zheng Qing, the two Jinghai envoys of the Jinghai Division, had been persuaded to surrender by King Xiang, but their temperament was difficult to change, their behavior was perverse, they did not follow the rules, and they often disagreed with the coastal government and had a tense relationship.
This time, because a magistrate in Fuzhou did not return to the sea to trade because a county magistrate in Fuzhou sheltered his brother-in-law and did not return to the sea to trade, he was intercepted by the Zheng brothers on the spot.
Originally, the county magistrate and his brother-in-law were at fault first, and they should be sanctioned by the imperial court, but the bad thing is that the Zheng brothers had no king's law, so they executed the magistrate's brother-in-law on their own, and also beat the magistrate.
If it weren't for the prefect who happened to visit the local area and bumped into this incident, I'm afraid that the prefect would have been beaten to death by the Zheng brothers.
Originally, this was not a big deal, but I don't know how Qin Hui knew about it.
Qin Hui made the nature of the situation serious and expanded, saying that the magistrate of the county knew the law and violated the law, and if he did not follow the discipline, he was afraid that others would follow suit; The Zheng brothers have no king's law and are difficult to change, so they should also be beaten and punished to prevent future troubles.
The emperor said that if you do such a small thing, you should do it according to the rules, but remember not to burn the fire to the point where it cannot be contained.
Qin Hui got the emperor's edict, so he ordered the Fujian prefect to send the person involved to Beijing for questioning.
The magistrate knew that the law was inevitable, so he packed up his baggage and went north to surrender the next day.
But Zheng Qing said that he was enforcing the law impartially, and the county knew that he should be punished for violating the law, so why did he accompany him on this trip.
The news of the Zheng brothers' disobedience and disobedience reached Qin Hui, and Qin Hui said in his heart that you are really hell and have no way to break in, so he ordered Zeng Biao to personally go south to arrest the Zheng brothers.
At this point, the nature completely changed.
Zeng Biao was still on the way, and the prefect kindly said to Zheng Guang: "Now that the matter is getting bigger, you should consciously enter Beijing to be questioned, otherwise as soon as Lord Zeng arrives, the inquiry will become an interrogation." ”
The prefect knew that the Zheng brothers were recommended by Qu Ping, and they could be regarded as having a background, so he specially reminded the Zheng brothers kindly.
Zheng Guang thought about it, he couldn't smear Qu Ping's face, and let others say that his two brothers were protected by King Xiang, and they were fake and despised the law.
At the same time, Zheng Guang thought that he would pay filial piety to the leaders of Jinghai Division during the New Year's Festival, so he wrote a letter to Jinghai Division and asked them to help explain and explain, turning big things into small things.
Zheng Qing scolded: "It's all you old thing talking nonsense, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things!" During the New Year's holidays, Lao Tzu also greets you, right? ”
The prefect was scolded, and although he was angry in his heart, he said apologetically: "This government reports according to the truth, what is wrong? ”
"Who knows if you've ever said bad things about us in your recital? Otherwise, how could the emperor care about such a small matter? Zheng Qing didn't give up.
Zheng Guang knew that Zheng Qing had a perverse and fiery personality, so he reprimanded him harshly: "Okay, don't say a word!" ”
The prefect said: "Now it is not the emperor who is in charge, but the criminal department." ”
Zheng Guang knew that the Criminal Department wanted to make an example of the chickens, so he said: "Thank you Lord Prefect for reminding us, we must be honest this time." ”
As soon as Zeng Biao arrived, he originally thought about how to extinguish the other party's arrogance with the power of thunder, but he didn't know that the Zheng brothers had already disarmed and surrendered.
Zeng Biao had nowhere to vent his scheming, and said angrily: "The two of you are such a big shelf!" Do you know the way, or do you have to ask me to invite you to go? ”
Zheng Qing couldn't control his mouth, and whispered back: "Sesame fart is a big thing, it has to be earth-shattering!" ”
Zheng Guang was immediately furious and scolded Zheng Qingdao: "Can you seal your mouth!" ”
Zeng Biao was worried that he couldn't find the handle, and when he heard Zheng Qing's words, he smiled and said, "Lord Zheng Qing has an opinion on Lord Shangshu?" Still is...... Do you have an opinion about the emperor? ”
Zheng Qing held a sullen breath in his heart, and said in his heart: "I have opinions about Lord Shangshu, I also have opinions on the emperor, and I have opinions on everyone. ”
But he couldn't say that he wasn't hopelessly stupid.
Zheng Qing pursed his lips and twisted his head to the side to express his dissatisfaction.
Zheng Guang whispered to Zeng Biao and said, "My lord, stop being angry, we will go with you at any time." ”
Zeng Biao said: "You think about it, don't run away halfway." This time, no one can support you! ”
"What do you mean? The two Lao Tzu brothers accepted King Xiang's surrender, but they didn't come to accept your bird's anger! Zheng Qing listened to Zeng Biao's ill-intentioned words, and his temper came up.
Zeng Biao sneered: "It turns out that King Xiang is supporting you behind your back!" ”
