Chapter 665: Shameless
Early the next morning, Li Jing began to practice martial arts in the courtyard, and did not set off for Bianjing as agreed, but he did not return to Taiyuan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General." Luan Tingyu and Zhang Zeduan came together early in the morning, and saw Li Jing practicing martial arts there bare-chested, with a faint hint of murderous intent on his body, and immediately knew what Li Jing was thinking at this time, and he didn't dare to go up to speak, and waited until Li Jing received the double hammer before he stepped forward to say hello.
"Old General Luan, has the messenger settled down last night? But what's the problem? Li Jing took the towel from Li Daniu's hand on the side, wiped it on his body and asked.
"I don't know what happened, I heard that it was the students who made trouble and stormed the General's Mansion to make today's incident." Luan Tingyu's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Those scholars are really bold, after all, the great general has made great contributions to the imperial court, and these people rushed into the general's mansion regardless of the prestige of the imperial court." ”
"Hmph, the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together, these scholars are all scholars, they are all the pillars of the imperial court, and these people will govern the world in the future, these people can't do anything, what is it to collide with the General's Mansion, they still want my Li Jing's life!" Li Jing snorted coldly. When is the happiest time for scholars, that is, in the Song Dynasty, high salaries and incorruptibility are not counted, the key is that the status is very high, and there is no one in the court to check and balance, and get rid of the scholars themselves. After the Ming Dynasty, the status of scholars was also very high, but there was always a balance between the monarch and the eunuchs, but it was not as easy as the Song Dynasty.
"General, is there any misunderstanding here?" Zhang Zeduan showed a hint of embarrassment and explained: "Although there are some traitors in the court, most of the Taizhong students in Beijing are still very good, they have a sense of justice, and the lower officials think that it is better to seriously investigate this matter." Zhang Zeduan didn't know that the imperial court had already issued a gold medal and ordered Li Jing to enter Beijing.
"Lord Zhang, do you know that the imperial court has sent a gold medal last night, tsk, six hundred miles to expedite Li Jing into Beijing." Li Jing looked at Zhang Zeduan and said with a smile: "These people are not asking Li Jing to go back to discuss this matter, but they are thinking of capturing Li Jing, killing Li Jing, and by the way, sending someone to take over the northern army, Lord Zhang, do you say that it is still necessary for this general to return to Bianjing now?" ”
"This, impossible, how is it possible? How could the imperial court destroy the Great Wall? Zhang Zeduan's face changed after hearing this, and he said without thinking. What kind of character is Li Jing, but Zhang Zeduan, who is in Zezhou these days, can understand some of Li Jing's prestige in the Northern Army, it is impossible for the imperial court to take over Li Jing's Northern Army, this is a powerful army, an army completely raised by Li Jing, and the high salary is destined to make it impossible for the imperial court to put more money on the Northern Army, and it is impossible to get the military heart of the Northern Army. Killing Li Jing at this time was fundamentally a wrong decision.
"Not long after the gold medal of the imperial court came, my people told me about the affairs of Beijing." Li Jing sighed and said: "Although the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, I, Li Jing, am still young, and many things have not been completed, so I must not die now, even if I die, I can't be a ghost who died unjustly." Mr. Zhang, what do you think? ”
"This, this subordinate doesn't know either." Zhang Zeduan didn't know how to answer Li Jing's question at this time, did he want Li Jing to be sent to death, I was afraid that the generals at the scene would kill him directly! He was even more anxious at this time, he and the few guys who escaped with their lives were all sent by the imperial court, once Li Jing fell out with the imperial court, he was afraid that he would become Li Jing's ghost. Zhang Zeduan was not afraid of death, but thinking that he was implicated by those scholars in Bianjing, when he thought of this, Zhang Zeduan also had a trace of resentment towards the scholars in Bianjing.
"Don't worry, Master Zhang, I, Li Jing, am also a person who likes to kill, I know that there are traitors in the court, you are all learned people, you can come to my Hedong Road this time, just to contribute to the governance of Hedong Road, otherwise, you will not come all the way to bring your family here." Li Jing seemed to see the uneasiness in Zhang Zeduan's heart, and turned around and comforted: "As long as you abide by the law and discipline and govern Hedong Road according to the rules of Hedong Road, as long as you treat your people well, you will be a good official. ”
"Thank you, General." After Zhang Zeduan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Li Jing's guarantee was effective or not, at least now that he had said this, it was sincerity.
"General, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the imperial court is ordinary, how should we deal with it, and ask the general to show me?" Luan Tingyu hurriedly said.
"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, we are the men of the court in the end, and we can't start the war by ourselves. I, Li Jing, have received the grace of the Son of Heaven, how can I be an unfaithful person? Li Jing said without thinking: "But I, Li Jing, can't be killed by any person, the court doesn't do it, I'm still a courtier of the court, and the court does it, so it's no wonder Li Jing." Lord Zhang, this is my attitude, if any of you want to go back to Bianjing, go back now, I, Li Jing, will definitely not stop me, and I will also present gold and silver treasures. ”
Zhang Zeduan's face was stunned, he thought for a while and said: "General, the lower officials are willing to stay on Hedong Road, but the other lower officials dare not guarantee that they will report to the general after the lower officials go back and discuss with them." ”
"That's very good." Li Jing looked into the distance, waved his hand, and let the two of them retreat, but he entered the side room, which was where Emperor Maode lived.
In the bedroom, Emperor Mao had already gotten up, just sitting in front of the dresser in a profane dress, her eyes were blank, her face was pale, the only thing that was unique was the ruddy on her cheeks, which was the luster of the woman after being moisturized, not any rouge blush could be replaced, in the past, Emperor Mao had never had it, and after some moisturization, Emperor Mao had such a look.
A sound of footsteps came, Emperor Mao was trembling, her eyes showed a trace of panic, a trace of panic, and a trace of anger, and she saw Li Jing walking behind her, looking at the beauty in the mirror, nodded, and said: "This flower is just to be moistened by the rain, look at how beautiful you are now after being moisturized." ”
"You, what do you want, you've got me, please let me go!" Maude Deji's eyes wept.
"Didn't you have a good time last night?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Jing's mouth, and he said proudly: "Actually, you should think so, Cai Jing is dead, you can be regarded as a widow living at home, I, Li Jing, guard the side of the Son of Heaven, and I am in a high position, if I ask the Son of Heaven to make an order, I think the Son of Heaven is also very willing to marry you to me." Of course, it can only be a concubine now, but it is impossible to say in the future. ”
"You, you're ridiculous." Emperor Maode's face changed color, but the panic in his eyes was much less, and there was a hint of relaxation in his eyes, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, it was really the case, but he was still very angry in his heart when he was succeeded by Li Jing like this.
"How do you call it ridiculous? You are a dignified emperor, naturally different from ordinary people, Cai Yan is dead, the emperor is different from ordinary people, naturally someone must continue to take care of the emperor, I Li Jing is a dignified general, marrying the emperor is also a very normal thing, and it will also help the Son of Heaven to win over the minister. Li Jing said indifferently: "I, Li Jing, hold a large army, and the Son of Heaven is naturally not at ease in his heart, especially now, the traitors in the court and the central government are eager to kill me Li Jing, saying that I, Li Jing, are ready to raise troops to rebel, if the emperor is by my side at this time, the Son of Heaven also knows that I, Li Jing, will never raise an army to rebel, doesn't the emperor want to do something for the court?" ”
After hearing this, Emperor Maude felt a tangle in her heart, she felt that there was something wrong with Li Jing's words, but she didn't know what the problem was.
"Since ancient times, princesses have been a tool to entrap courtiers, although Cai Ying is good, but it is not the best choice, I, Li Jing, have a heavy army, it is different, if the Son of Heaven knows that you are by my side, I will definitely be pleased with the sacrifice you have made. People all over the world will also think that there is an emperor, so the world is peaceful, at that time, who will remember that the emperor is remarried? During the Han Dynasty, Princess Pingyang married Wei Qing, and Wei Qing made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, isn't this also a good story? What does Emperor think? Li Jing knew that Emperor Mao De had been moved by his own words, and continued to persuade him at the moment: "Now I, Li Jing, have a bad reputation in the eyes of scholars all over the world, and Emperor Ji feeds tigers with her body, and can only be recited through the ages." ”
After listening to Emperor Maode, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the joy on his face increased a lot, if it was according to what Li Jing said, he seemed to have really done a great thing, Li Jing had the intention of rebellion, she had already heard her sisters talk about this point of view in the palace, if Li Jing could be loyal to the court because of himself and avoid chaos in the world, it would indeed be a great thing, and even really be considered to be feeding a tiger with his body, he hesitated for a while, and said: "You, when are you going to play the Son of Heaven?" ”
"Don't worry, when the situation on Hedong Road stabilizes, I will play the Son of Heaven, and now I will play it, it is not very appropriate, after all, Cai Jing can't get over his face." Li Jing saw that Emperor Mao De had relieved his mouth, and immediately showed a smile, stepped forward and hugged Emperor Mao De, and said in a low voice: "Come, it's still early, you and I will come to warm up again." "How wonderful it is to stand alone, Li Jing naturally wants to work hard.
"Don't, outside." Before Emperor Mao finished speaking, he felt that he was being hugged by Li Jing.
"There's no one in this little courtyard, and besides, didn't you enjoy it last night? General Ben is strong, it's much better than Cai Ying! What do you say, Diji? Li Jing saw that Emperor Mao De did not resist like last night, how could she not know what she was thinking, so she immediately stripped Emperor Mao De of her essence and pressed it herself, and Emperor Mao De reluctantly accepted Li Jing's destruction.
Minggao Mountain in Longxi, this is the name of the locals, but in the Li family, it is also called Qianlong Mountain, the patriarch of the Li family Li Hu came out of the mountain, assisted Yang Jian, and finally created hundreds of years of the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty has declined, the glorious Li royal family has also disappeared in the long river of history, and some of the descendants of the Li family are also scattered all over the place, living a life of poverty or wealth. None of this has anything to do with Lee's.
At the foot of Minggao Mountain, this huge village, most of them are a village composed of Li clansmen or the sons of the Li family, and in the middle of the village is a huge mansion, which is the place where Li Xiao, the contemporary patriarch of the Li family, lives.
"Big brother, are you looking for me?" A handsome middle-aged man walked in, he was smiling, but there was no joy in his eyes, but there was more solemnity.
"Old ten, old nine have a letter." Li Xiao handed the letter in his hand to Li Han and said, "Lao Qi's son has laid a foundation on Hedong Road, and Lao Jiu wants us to go to him. ”
"Li Jing? This man has heard of it. Li Han looked at the letter and said, "Big brother, you must have other ideas!" He glanced at his brother and didn't believe that his brother had no other ideas, otherwise he wouldn't let himself go.
"Yes, the world is peaceful on the surface at the moment, but in fact, the chaos has appeared, not to mention Fang La, Wang Qing, Tian Hu and others, just say that the Jin army outside the gate is eyeing the Central Plains at any time, and our nephew also has other ideas in his heart. Hehe, of course, there are also those people in the South Association and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations who will probably make waves. Li Xiao looked graceful and said indifferently.
"Big brother, are we going to do it too?" Li Han's eyes lit up, and he said: "My Li family has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, and I will be able to contact the heroes of the Quartet immediately, and everyone will hold high the banner of righteousness together." ”
"It's too late to do it now, I want you to go to Li Jingjunzhong with the sixth child." Li Xiao showed a hint of firmness in his eyes, and said: "Li Jing's combat effectiveness in the Northern Army is very good, in the Li family, you and Lao Liu are both good at military affairs, and now Lao Jiu wants us to help him, just the two of you go together, you are the positive, and the sixth is the deputy." Help Li Jing govern the army. ”
After Li Han heard this, he immediately knew Li Xiao's idea, hesitated for a while, and said: "There is no problem on my side, but the sixth brother is on his side, you also know that person's character, if you really fight with him, I'm afraid that Li Jing's side will give us military power!" ”
"How do you know if you don't try, there is Lao Jiu there, there is no problem in wanting to get some military power, Li Jing has a lot of generals, but there are not a few handsome talents, you can just help him." Li Xiao had obviously studied Li Jing's army.
"Okay, since the eldest brother has commanded. We'll go down tomorrow. Li Han hurriedly said: "As for the Zhongnan Association and Guan ASEAN, I don't care, they just have a lot of money, and they don't even have an army, as if they are doing this and that, it's really a joke."
"There are soldiers in their hands to make other things, but it's good to have money, don't they want to restore their glory? Let them pay to buy Li Jing's generals, so that we can take over Li Jing's army as soon as possible. Li Xiao said indifferently.
"It's still my brother's thoughtfulness." Li Han was overjoyed.
