Chapter 238: The Matter of the East Palace

In the courtyard, from time to time, there was a sound of knowing, in the small courtyard, Li Jing leaned under the gazebo, feeling a trace of coolness brought by the lake, but there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, the fragrance was blowing, Li Jing knew that Chai Erniang was coming.

"Da Niu and they are all packing up, are you going back to Bianjing?" There was a hint of reluctance in Chai Erniang's voice.

"It's not just that I want to go back, I'm afraid you have to leave Hebei with me." Li Jing's eyes were deep, he looked at the lotus leaves in the distance, and said: "The secret camp came to report that Wu Yong, the thief of Liangshan, did not return to Liangshan, but went to the north. My preliminary estimate is that he went to Cangzhou. ”

"Cangzhou?" Chai Erniang's complexion changed suddenly, Wu used this time to go to Cangzhou, what is the so-called matter, anyone with a little brain can guess, it must be because of the Chai family.

"Yes, it's Cangzhou." Li Jing sighed and said, "What's more, it's not just the Liangshan thieves, but there is also a person who has done it. If the Chai family is a peaceful rich man, I am afraid that the court will not do it, and even protect your Chai family, but now, the people of the court are not stupid, how can they not understand the truth here?"

"People from the court?" Chai Erniang's face was even paler, if it was a thief in Liangshan, she was really not afraid, but if it involved the imperial court, unless the Chai family rebelled immediately, otherwise, she could only let the butcher's knife of the imperial court fall on her head, and when the time came, whether she was killed or imprisoned depended on the meaning of the imperial court.

"Hongyu, let's go, let's go back to Cangzhou." Chai Erniang couldn't stay here for a moment, so she quickly turned around and said.

"Stop." Behind him, Li Jing's cold voice came, and he snorted coldly: "You can only send it to the door by yourself now, whether it is the Liangshan thieves or the people of the imperial court, they want you to send it to the door." ”

"But?" Chai Erniang's phoenix eyes were red, and she turned to look at Li Jing, her delicate body trembled, and she didn't know what to do.

"Your Chai family has an iron coupon pill book, and the Zhao family is very merciful in this regard, not to mention, I just suspect that your father and brother will definitely not be in any danger, at most, they will be embarrassed by others, Cai Jing What they need is your Chai family's money." Li Jing stepped forward and comforted: "The same is true for the Liangshan thieves, what they need is money, understand?" If you go, not only will you not be able to help, but you will also easily become a breakthrough for the Chai family. ”

This is the evil result of no strength, it seems that the Chai family has the Hebei Righteous Army and the Liangshan Thieves as a double guarantee, but in fact! The Chai family does not directly control the two major forces at all, once something goes wrong, the Chai family is equivalent to a toothless tiger, allowing them to be bullied, and anyone can pee on it.

"Really?" Chai Erniang looked at Li Jing worriedly, hoping to get a reply from Li Jing.

"Naturally." Li Jing sighed and said: "What the Liangshan thieves need is your family's money, and the other is your father's status in the rivers and lakes, think about it, even the dragon sons and phoenixes of the previous dynasty have joined Liangshan, how can other heroes of the rivers and lakes not join?" What they need is the banner of the Chai family, so there will be no threat, if you go, who knows what will happen, then Heisan Song Jiang doesn't have a wife? If you want to get more from your Chai family, don't you want to marry Song Jiang? ”

"You are talking nonsense, I, how could I marry Song Shorty." Chai Erniang showed a smile on her face, what kind of goods is Song Jiang, Chai Erniang has seen it, such an ugly character, how could Chai Erniang get married. However, she also knew that what Li Jing said made sense, but she was still a little relieved in her heart.

"Let's go! This time we got 400,000 yuan of money, you and Hongyu, with a big bull, led 500 troops to escort to Lijiazhuang. Li Jing patted Chai Erniang's jade hand and said: "This is my family's background, I'm afraid I will need this money to deal with the Liangshan thieves in the future." ”

"Alright! You should also go back to Shandong early. Chai Erniang took a deep breath and nodded, there was a hint of grief in her eyes, she was not a fool, Li Jing let herself go to Lijiazhuang at this time, probably because she didn't want to see Li Jing and Zhu Fengying getting married, so as not to feel uncomfortable in her heart.

The next day, Li Jing only took dozens of guards battalion people on the road, 800 elites died more than 200 people in the battle, this is also a relatively large casualty, in the end it is a night battle, Li Jing and Zhenwei Dart Bureau are actually not prepared, plus there are many enemies, it is normal to kill and wound so many people. Liang Zhongshu personally sent it ten miles away.

If it weren't for the withdrawal of the army of the Daimyo's Mansion, Li Jing would probably have left long ago, and it would be the day when Li Jing got married, and Liang Zhongshu waited until Li Cheng led the army to withdraw, and then hurriedly sent Li Jing away.

"Brother Xian has been away from the East Palace for more than ten days, do you know the situation in the East Palace?" Liang Zhongshu stood on the Shili Pavilion, looking at the famous city not far away, and suddenly said to Li Jing beside him.

"Oh, not really." Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said. These days, Du Xing is busy looking for the traces of the Liangshan bandits, and Chen Long went to meet Li Qingzhao in Qizhou in person, but he knows very little about the affairs in Beijing, after all, there is a large population in Beijing, and various forces are intertwined, and it is very difficult to gain a foothold in it.

"There is another deputy government rate in the left rate of the East Palace, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell the virtuous brother?" Liang Zhongshu said with a smile. Li Jing always felt that there was a hint of schadenfreude behind Liang Zhongshu's eyes.

"After the last time the East Palace underwent some rectification, the establishment was lacking, and the staffing was incomplete, isn't it normal to have an additional deputy government this time?" Li Jing suppressed the shock in his heart, but his face was extremely calm, but in fact, his heart was overturned, Zhao Huan actually appointed a new deputy government rate, and this position was originally intended to be reserved for Li Daniu. The most critical problem is that when Zhao Huan was leaving, he swore to himself that he would continue to be in charge of the East Palace guards. At this time, there was not even a letter, did he really think that he could control the East Palace Guard, or could he directly ignore his own existence?

"That's true, but does the virtuous brother know who this deputy head of the left rate is?" Liang Shicheng laughed in his heart, and also felt sad for Li Jing, at least, Li Jing did not have anything wrong with the East Palace, but made a lot of contributions to Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan sold Li Jing with his backhand.

"Oh, who is it?" Li Jing was also very curious, what kind of character could be so embarrassed to find Zhao Huan to eat.

"Xingyang Zheng Zheng Duokang. Speaking of which, this Zheng Duokang is the elder brother of the concubine Zheng of the East Palace, tsk, virtuous brother, this is not good! I heard that the relationship between the crown princess and the side concubine in the East Palace is not harmonious, you are now married to the Zhu family's lady, and you are clearly on the side of the crown princess, this side concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Liang Zhongshu approached Li Jing's side and whispered.

There are contradictions everywhere, and the same is true in the East Palace, although the crown princess and the prince's side concubine are just a title, but the status is worlds apart, especially after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, everyone wants the queen's position, and Zheng Guanyin is the same, otherwise, he would not have changed his way to find trouble with Zhu Lian.

"I see." After Li Jing heard this, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart and knows that I won't often appear in the East Palace, so he chose a deputy for me, which is not bad." The disdain in Li Jing's heart is even worse, even if he unloads the mill and kills the donkey, he still does it so obviously, and the appearance is so ugly, no wonder even after becoming the emperor, he has become someone else's prisoner, and his relatives have become the playthings of Jin Bing, and now he has not become the emperor, and even the crown prince has not sat firmly, so he began to do so, and he will pay it back in the future.

"Brother Xian, in fact, who is the position of the crown prince and who the position of the emperor is in the future, it doesn't matter much to us, what does Brother Xian think?" Liang Zhongshu said confidently. He leaned on Cai Jing behind him, in his opinion, the changes in the imperial court really had nothing to do with him, let alone the internal affairs of the East Palace, whether it was the Zhu family or the Zheng family, at the most critical time, he would just ask Cai Jing for help.

Everyone formed a friend, even if Zhao Huan didn't like the Cai family, what could he do, didn't he grit his teeth and admit it in the end? He thought that it was a mistake for Li Jing to intervene in the East Palace at this time.

"Brother Liang naturally has nothing to do with it, but it's a pity that after marrying the daughter of the Zhu family, some things are doomed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not simple, he knows how to play balance at a young age." Li Jing said bitterly.

"That's why I don't have to worry." Liang Zhongshu said with a smile: "There is good and there is evil. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bent on using you, I will have to be careful. Brother Xian, some things are better to get involved less, do business, make money, and live so freely, why bother to find that trouble? When you leave, you are just talking about it, and you still need to take the real idea yourself. ”

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me." Li Jing showed a strong smile on his face, Liang Zhongshu may have other ideas, but this sentence makes sense, and the things in it are not something that anyone will say.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liang Zhongshu glanced around and said in a low voice: "Lu Junyi has already fled, but there is a business, does the virtuous brother have ideas?" Liang Zhongshu glanced at the north, Li Jing suddenly knew that Liang Zhongshu was referring to the war horse from the north, this is a profitable business, in the Great Song Dynasty, the best war horses are scarce, if you can monopolize the business of war horses, its profits are not under the soap and glass mirror, and even as a new Li Jiazhuang, it is urgent to get this channel and get more war horses.

"Hehe, I know that Brother Xian is a person who does great things, and after getting married, Brother Xian can come here and introduce you to a big person." Liang Zhongshu has been much closer to Li Jing since Li Jing saved the Daimyo's Mansion.

"Okay, then there will be Brother Lao." Li Jing was also surprised that Liang Zhongshu would introduce someone to him.
