Chapter 792: The General Trend (Part II)
"Zhong Xiang, which father-in-law came to deliver the decree this time, and what did he say?"
Li Jingye has always been an extremely proud person, although his ability is actually mediocre, but he has no self-knowledge, after he is famous, there is no child left in his eyes, not to mention Wang Fangyi, the brother of the abolished queen, is the queen of martial arts and the prince, Li Jingye doesn't care much, as for the Qincha who others are afraid of like a tiger, in Li Jingye's eyes, it is just an errand character, he doesn't take it to heart, and others are careful and careful when they receive orders, lest there be a mistake, he is good, Asking Qin to do such obviously rebellious things as he said them very casually, without the slightest jealousy.
"It's Gonggong Chen, the last general doesn't know, as for the decree preached, it is for the Metropolitan Governor, the last general really doesn't dare to inquire privately, and I ask the Metropolitan Governor to forgive me."
Although he knew that Li Jingye's question was very inappropriate, Wang Fangyi still adhered to his usual cautious style, and did not point out that Li Jingye was not, but explained sincerely.
"Well, since you've come here, let's go and see it."
Li Jingye just asked casually, he didn't really expect Wang Fangyi to have any opinions, and he didn't care much about what Wang Fangyi said, so he waved his hand indifferently, and walked over to the Chinese military tent with a big grin.
"Huh? Where's the chincha? Zhong Xiang, what a famous hall is this! ”
Arrogant people are often careless, Li Jingye is naturally no exception, stunned to notice that the guards guarding outside the Chinese army tent are not only more old and young than usual, nor the group of Chinese soldiers he is familiar with, so swaggering to open the door curtain of the Chinese military tent, and walked in without defense, but as soon as Fang entered the tent, people couldn't help but be stunned, not for anything else, just because there was no one in the huge Chinese army tent.
"Bang Bang"
Facing Li Jingye's questioning, Wang Fangyi did not speak, but smiled faintly, slapped his palms lightly twice with both hands, and then saw a person come out of the back tent.
"Well, it's you?"
As soon as he saw that the person who came was Lin Chengbin, the deputy governor of Hexi, Li Jingye's pupils couldn't help shrinking, although his face remained basically unchanged, but his heart sank to the bottom in an instant, not for anything else, just because he had vaguely guessed what Lin Chengbin's intentions were in appearing here - although Li Jingye was a hereditary British duke, but in fact, he did not have the slightest military exploits, and the reason why he was promoted to such an important position as the governor of Longzhou was promoted by Gaozong, and he naturally had a special mission to come here, in order to block the possibility of the Hexi army advancing eastwardNow, Lin Chengbin, who should have stayed in Lanzhou, has actually sneaked into the Longzhou military camp, and the strangeness is obviously not so easy to get along with, as soon as he thinks of this, how can Li Jingye not be worried.
"Governor Li, don't come to harm's way?"
Compared with Li Jingye's nervousness, Lin Chengbin was light-hearted, arched his hand with a smile on his face, and said hello in a chic manner.
"Aha, it turned out that General Lin had arrived, okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have to drink a few cups today, General Lin, please do a while, this governor will go to arrange a feast, don't get drunk and go home!"
Although Li Jingye is arrogant, he is not a straw bag after all, although he has not yet learned Lin Chengbin's actual intentions, but he understands that his current situation is not good, and he is unwilling to stay in this dangerous place for longer, so he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, laughed happily, and after explaining a sentence, he turned around and planned to withdraw from the Chinese army's account first.
"Hehe......"
Lin Chengbin didn't mean to stop Li Jingye, he just smiled indifferently, and stood in place for a long time, but he didn't move, but Wang Fangyi moved, and his body was only horizontal, and he had already blocked Li Jingye's way.
"Huh? Zhong Xiang, what do you mean? ”
Seeing that Wang Fangyi was blocking his way, Li Jingye could no longer maintain the smile he pretended, his face sank, and he asked with extreme displeasure.
"Please take the holy decree first, and then count the rest."
In the past, Wang Fangyi never quarreled with Li Jingye, no matter what Li Jingye said, he was submissive, and always seemed to look forward to Li Jingye's horse, but today, Wang Fangyi did not give Li Jingye any face, although he said politely, but his heart was full of unyielding insistence.
"Humph!"
Although Li Jingye has always been excellent in martial arts, he can say that he can beat Lin and Wang together, but he is not sure at all, not to mention that since the two have set up an ambush, naturally there will be no two people here, Li Jingye really didn't dare to risk his own life, and in desperation, he could only snort coldly, turned back again, and glared at Lin Chengbin with an angry face like the bottom of a pot.
"Longzhou Governor Li Jingye takes the order!"
Lin Chengbin ignored Li Jingye's anger at all, shook his hand, took out a yellow silk masked holy decree from the wide sleeved robe, held it in both hands, held it high above his head, and drank it with a solemn face.
"The last will listen to the oracle."
As soon as he saw Lin Chengbin behaving like this, Li Jingye's face immediately changed, he didn't believe that what Lin Chengbin was holding in his hand was a real holy decree, not for anything else, just because he Li Jingye came to Longzhou to take up the post of the governor of the capital was originally here with a secret order, in order to curb the prestige of the Hexi army, obviously, Gaozong was absolutely uneasy about the Hexi army to the extreme, how could it be possible for Lin Chengbin to come to pass the decree, besides, it is not in line with the imperial court system to declare the decree by the local officials, Li Jingye is a famous family, such a political common sense is still there, I didn't want to accept this so-called holy decree, but after thinking about it, I should deal with it first, and find an opportunity to think about the counterattack strategy is also the best way, in view of this, Li Jingye pondered for a while, but still knelt on the ground, and put on a posture of listening to the holy teachings.
"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Zicha: Li Jingye, the governor of Longzhou, is deeply favored by the country, but he does not want to forge ahead, during his tenure, he repeatedly violated the court, scraped the people's fat and people's ointment, so that the heavens are angry and resentful, and his ancestors have made great contributions to the country, exempt him from capital crimes, and immediately dismiss him, never use it, and admire this!"
Although Li Jingye's mind was well concealed, how could he hide Lin Chengbin's observation, but Lin Chengbin did not break it, but unhurriedly spread out the holy decree in his hand and announced it melodiously.
"Messy life, this is messy life! Lin Chengbin, you dare to edict, this governor wants to go to this book to join you! ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to dismiss himself, Li Jingye couldn't hold his breath anymore, and the previous thoughts of thinking about it after being false and wronged had long been forgotten by him, and he jumped up regardless of it, his face was blue, and he pointed at Lin Chengbin and scolded.
"Li Dudu is not in a hurry, there is no reason to be loud, there is still a holy decree here, Li Dudu might as well listen to it and have another attack."
Facing Li Jingye, who was already roaring like a mad dog, Lin Chengbin did not get angry, nor did he order the warriors under the tent to enter the tent to take people, but took out a yellow silk masked holy decree from the wide sleeves again, and said unhurriedly.
"You ......"
Although Li Jingye is arrogant by nature, he is not a fool after all, in the face of the situation of people being swords and I being fish and meat, he was furious, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and after his face changed for a while, he could only kneel on the ground helplessly.
"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Li Jingye, the governor of Longzhou, is loyal to his duties, an example for his ministers, and the title of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is given, and he is given 100,000 taels of gold and 100,000 yuan, and he is transferred to the governor of Jianghuai, and he is here!"
Lin Chengbin glanced at Li Jingye quietly, stretched out his hand to spread out the second holy decree, and announced it in a calm tone.
"Ah, this ......"
As soon as he heard this holy decree, which was completely contrary to the previous will, Li Jingye was immediately dumbfounded, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Lin Chengbin with a lot of doubts, not knowing which play this was singing.
"Governor Li, there are two wills, and Governor Li can choose by himself."
Lin Chengbin did not rush to explain, but held a holy decree in each hand and said with a smile.
"Goodo......"
The land of China has always been the supremacy of official positions, but anyone who is a little ambitious, no one wants to be an official, Li Jingye is naturally no exception, if he really wants to choose, he is naturally eager to quickly pull the second will into his arms, the problem is that the origin of this holy decree is unknown, nine times out of ten it is a forgery, if you really want to take it, then it is an accomplice, in case the prince loses, he Li Jingye's whole family will have to follow the food and hang, but if you don't take it, let alone the first will, this Chinese army account, he is afraid that he will not want to go out, This kind of choice is obviously not so easy to make, poor Li Jingye was also a bold and reckless person in the past, but now he has no idea, only the share of devouring spittle.
"Li Dudu, are you worried that the queen of heaven will see her guilt? Hey, don't hide it from the governor, she is already unable to protect herself, how can she be in the mood to find trouble with others at this time! ”
Although Lin Chengbin is an image of a humble gentleman, but he is a very proud person in his bones, he has always looked at Li Jingye, who has no great ability, if it were not for the fact that he could not alarm those ambitious people in Luoyang too early, Lin Chengbin was too lazy to talk to Li Jingye.
"Ah, what do you mean by that?"
Although Li Jingye has a wide network in the court, after all, he has been away from the court for a long time, and he is not too clear about the delicate situation in the court.
"Don't hide it from Li Dudu, my Hexi army has now crossed the Yellow River and is rushing to the state city, in addition, His Royal Highness the Prince has sent an urgent report, His Majesty has been killed, and the Queen of Heaven Niangniang colluded with the King of Yue and other traitorous ministers, secretly mourning, intending to rebel, his crime should be punished, a certain by His Royal Highness the Prince's secret order to quell the rebellion, Li Dudu where to go, you can choose!"
The general trend was already in hand, and Lin Chengbin had no need to hide it, and said the confidential matter without reservation with a solemn face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, inheriting the will of the first emperor, it is the trend of the times, the will of the people, how dare this governor fall behind, he should fight to the death!"
As soon as he heard that the Hexi Army had crossed the Yellow River, Li Jingye's face immediately turned pale, not for anything else, just because he didn't have the confidence to fight with the mighty Hexi Army at all, not to mention that two-thirds of the troops in Longzhou City were controlled by the generals of the prince's department, and it was not at all that he Li Jingye could mobilize. Li Jingye no longer hesitated and made an impassioned promise.
"Okay, Governor Li can have this heart, he will be the pillar of the country in the future, without further ado, please ask the Governor to order, the army of Longzhou will carry out military exercises, and cooperate with my Hexi Army all the way to Luoyang City!"
With the cooperation of Li Jingye, the governor of Longzhou, there was no obstacle to the road of the Hexi army to Chang'an, and Lin Chengbin had no reason not to be excited, but he did not bring it to his face, but gave the order with a solemn expression.
"No!"
has decided to serve the prince, Li Jingye is not the slightest ambiguity, even if Lin Chengbin's rank is half a level lower than him, Li Jingye does not have the slightest resistance, and the answer is neat and tight......
