When the news came out that Li Jing had been removed from his post and boarded a ship back to Chang'an and left Jiaozhou.

The Shi family was suddenly stunned!

"Things are out of our control, what should we do?" Tao Li looked at everyone with a melancholy face.

"How dare this prince say that he will withdraw? Didn't the emperor leave Li Jing behind? Wang Qing was also a little entangled.

Tao, born in the Three Kingdoms period, his ancestor Tao Ji belonged to the Eastern Wu officials at that time, and served as the history of Jiaozhou Thorn, which is the beginning of Tao's roots in Lingnan, and then the real glory of Tao.

Counting down since Tao Ji, the four generations and five people have all ruled Jiaozhou, and in that environment back then, in a place like Lingnan, what does it mean for the four generations and five people?

It means that Dow has ruled Jiaozhou for sixty or seventy years, and this alone is enough to make Dow the largest gate valve in Jiaozhou.

The Wang family was born in the Lang evil Wang clan, and his ancestor Wang Dun was a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who once commanded Guangzhou, and was also another gate valve in the Lingnan region, although the rebellion later failed, but the Wang family's power in Lingnan was not eliminated.

It's just that although these two families are strong, they have no successors, and they are finally gradually suppressed by the Shi family.

However, in this place in Lingnan, the Shi family, the Tao family, and the Wang family can be called the troika of the local wealthy family.

This time the matter was jointly controlled by them, and its main battlefield was in Jiaozhou, who let the crown prince Li Chengqian come here?

"I'm afraid even the emperor would not have thought that the crown prince would be so bold, let alone that it would be so wonderful here!" Shi Wei squinted his eyes slightly, on the surface, he looked calm, but in fact, he was also panicked in his heart.

Play big......

That's right, this time they played off.

Unexpectedly, the prince turned out to be a tiger, and Li Jing, the only one who could stop him, was removed by the prince!

What made people even more eye-catching was that Li Jing boarded the returning ship without resistance and threw this pile of messes to Li Chengqian.

"Stop it, and settle this matter as soon as possible before the eldest grandson Wuji comes." Tao Li sighed secretly, this matter can no longer be played, and they can't afford the consequences.

"It doesn't matter if we take it or not, the matter is so big that even Li Jing is gone, the court will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and these things we did secretly can't be hidden from the court." Wang Qing shook his head.

What they do is to bully the prince for being young and inexperienced, first give him a dismissal, and then come forward to solve this problem for him, so that the prince can be grateful to them, okay, gratitude to Dade may be a bit of a big deal, but it is certain that they have a good impression of them.

However, the premise of this is that when the matter is not completely big, let the prince feel the difficulty of this matter, and then they will come out again to be regarded as a charcoal in the snow.

But who would have thought that the prince, the tiger, didn't think about how to solve this matter at all, but desperately followed their arrangement, and as a result, Li Jing was withdrawn.

They were not clear about the core goals of the imperial court's military reform, but now they knew very well what the prince's decision meant.

Even if the imperial court doesn't mind now, what about after the military reform?

They have lost their ability to protect themselves, will the court let them go?

"It won't do us any better if we continue to make trouble!" Tao Li was dissatisfied.

"Yes! Can't go on any more! Shi Wei nodded approvingly, a large part of the reason why these families can call for wind and rain in Lingnan is due to regional factors.

No one wants to come to this place, but this place can't be without an army, so they have to be drawn from the locals.

There is nothing wrong with a short period of time, but if it is these people for a long time, then their investment will become more meaningful.

All the garrisons in Lingnan, they almost all got through the relationship, some were direct submissions, some were vassals, and some turned a blind eye.

The military reform is tantamount to directly cutting off their hands, making all their early investments go down the drain, but they have also made a lot of money over the years.

The impact of military reform is not only on the military, but also on all aspects of the local government.

"In this way, send people to persuade those people, so that they can understand the difficulties of the imperial court, let them take the initiative to give up participating in the later selection, and accept the arrangements of the imperial court with peace of mind, in addition, find a few more substitutes for the dead ghosts, although the effect will not meet expectations, but at least it will leave a good impression on the prince." The priest continued.

Of course, the premise of this is that no one tells Li Chengqian about the black hand behind their backs.

However, no one dares to guarantee this kind of thing, but it doesn't matter, this matter can also let the prince and the court see their status in Lingnan, and everyone will not interfere with the river water.

……

The Prince's Mansion!

At the beginning, the prince's mansion was divided into two parts, one was where the prince Li Chengqian lived, and the other was where Li Yuanjing lived.

Except for Li Chengqian, no one else was allowed to enter the place where Li Yuanjing lived, and Li Yuanjing's guards were also guarding here.

Li Jing did board the ship on the return trip, but on the way he changed a ship from Guangzhou to Jiaozhou, and Li Jing quietly returned to Jiaozhou at night.

And Li Jing, who returned to Jiaozhou this time, lived directly in Li Yuanjing's mansion, and even fewer people knew the news.

Even Li Chengqian didn't know, and the guards in the house were all Li Yuanjing's people, and under the advice of advance, no one dared to leak the news.

"Senior Brother Yao, why are you bothering?" Looking at the sullen Li Jing, Li Yuanjing said helplessly.

"The old man is worthy of His Majesty and the soldiers in this life, but he is sorry for his wife and children, it's time to take care of his life!" Li Jing said coldly, but the pen in his hand never stopped.

Since returning to Jiaozhou, Li Jing has begun to sort out some details of the military reform.

What he has to do is to record the entire thinking of military reform, the problems encountered, and the solutions, and then hand over this record to the imperial court after the matter here is over.

The rest of the things are not out of his control, and this time, not to mention making Li Jing feel cold, it is not much better.

People must learn to be satisfied, but also know how to advance and retreat.

With Li Jing's current merits and status, if he doesn't retreat, even he himself can't guarantee what will happen next?

If it weren't for Li Yuanjing's repeated persuasion, Li Jing really wouldn't have come back, even if he knew that leaving like this would cause more serious consequences.

But isn't this an excellent exit opportunity for Li Jing?

"Anyway, he's a shameless guy all his life, what's the anger with a child? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children and grandchildren, right? Li Yuanjing said angrily.

Li Jing raised his head and blew his beard, and said dissatisfiedly: "You want face?" The old man is far worse than you! ”
