Chapter 945: Pit Daddy
Bianjing City has long been restored to the prosperity of the past, although there is still the harassment of the Jin people in the north, but on the one hand, the Yellow River has entered the flood period, there are sailors patrolling along the Yellow River, and secondly, Li Jing's soldiers and horses are numerous, most of them are elite, and now the Western Xia has fallen into the hands of Li Jing, try to ask who else in the world is Li Jing's opponent.
Zhuque Street has long been rubbing shoulders, Li Jing is different from other emperors, in the past the middle of Zhuque Street is the royal street, and only His Majesty the Emperor, or when the new champion of the imperial examination crosses the horse to walk in the street, now Li Jing is very simple to abolish this, the huge Zhuque Street can be walked by anyone, even the hateful city gate tax has been exempted, the huge Bianjing City, there are countless merchants, and the market has become more prosperous.
"Your Majesty, not far ahead is the Marquis of Linchuan's Mansion." Du Xing led a few guards, escorted Li Jing, walked on the street, pointed to a mansion in the distance and said.
"Cao Jing is cautious, a dignified household secretary, a third-grade member of the court, even if he lives in the outer city, he even has a mansion in the alley, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes." Li Jing looked at the mansion in the distance, and frowned slightly, although there are many people who live in the outer city, but like Cao Jing, who has a lot of money and a dignified three-grade master, is still living in the outer city, and Cao Jing is the only one who still lives in the outer city, and even Du Xing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, lives in the inner city.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Lord Cao's nature is like this, I heard that the clothes he wears are also bright on the surface, but in fact, the underwear is still sewn and mended, which saves a lot." Duchenne hurriedly said.
"So stingy?" Li Jing's face was stunned, he really didn't know about this, but he knew that what Du Xing said must be true, and only Jinyiwei would make it so clear.
"Lord Cao is very frugal, but Lord Cao's sons are different, not much different from the children of the gentlemen in Beijing, plus Lord Cao is busy with government affairs on weekdays, and has no time to discipline, so he is a little worse in terms of spending money." Du Xing thought for a while and said: "But that's it, unlike other officials and eunuchs, there is no oppression of goodness. ”
"Cao Jing has been in business for many years, has a lot of assets, and his son spends his own son's money, it's nothing, as long as he doesn't oppress the good, the others are nothing great." Li Jing thought for a while and said.
As long as it does not violate the laws of the imperial court, even if it costs extravagantly, although Li Jing does not advocate it, he will not oppose it. For Cao Jing, he is still more assured. That's why Cao Jing will be reused.
Du Xing opened his face, but in the end there was nothing, and when everyone was about to walk, suddenly a team of officials rushed by, and the direction of progress was towards the Linchuan Marquis's Mansion.
"What's going on? What happened to Cao Jing? Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "When did the Bianjing government serve so powerful that he dared to go to the Linchuan Marquis Mansion on an errand?" "Cao Jing is a hero, looking at the menacing appearance of these officials, it is clearly not a good thing, so it makes Li Jing curious.
"Your Majesty, the current Yin of Bianjing Mansion is Lord Wang Mu." Duchenne smiled bitterly.
"Oh. It's him. Li Jing suddenly realized, and only Wang Mu would be like this, Wang Mu's daughter Wang Lu is Li Jing's concubine, Wang Mu, the Yin of Bianjing Mansion, is a little special, so he didn't put a third-grade master in his eyes.
"However, although Wang Niangniang is here, a Bianjing Mansion Yin is nothing in the court, there are still many people above the Sanpin Ministers, and the clan, princes and ministers don't know how many, and sometimes, Bianjing Mansion Yin does not dare to arrest others at will. Lord Wang Mu dared to make a move, perhaps for other reasons. Duchenne thought for a moment and said.
"The position of Yin in Bianjing Mansion is not very good, and it is difficult for someone to do a good job in this position, but after all, Cao Jing is a hero of the imperial court and a confidant of me, even if there is a mistake, he can't fight like this! Could it be that Cao Jing committed a heinous crime? Li Jing hesitated.
Cao Jing is cautious by nature, even if his son loses, he will not be ridiculous to a certain point, so that the officials of Bianjing City will come to arrest him so openly. It is clear that Cao Jing, the Marquis of Linchuan, is not taken into account. This can also be seen that Cao Jing's prestige in the court is not high. Under Li Jing's rule, the possibility of officials protecting each other is relatively small, but Li Jing is still a little dissatisfied in his heart by not taking a marquis in his eyes like this.
"Maybe Lord Wang Mu is going to make a strong order. Hey! His Majesty was escorted by Cao Rui, the eldest son of Lord Wang. Du Xing was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the team of officials escorting a man over, and he recognized that the man was Cao Jing's eldest son, Cao Rui, and was a little surprised.
"Cao Rui? Is that the guy who spends all his time? What did he do wrong? Li Jing said indifferently. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, even after the hero.
"As far as the minister knows, Cao Rui didn't make any mistakes, he just had a fight with someone in the restaurant, and I think that Bianjing Mansion used this reason to detain him." Du Xing thought for a while and said: "The day before yesterday, Cao Rui was drinking in the restaurant and met Zheng Guangqiao, the grandson of Lord Zheng, and the two had some quarrels, and finally fought. The two of them fought, but they just injured a student of Guozijian who was drinking next to him, and the minister suspected that it was because of this incident! Probably the bitter lord found Bianjing Mansion. ”
"Fighting? Why fight? Li Jing frowned, vaguely, he felt that there was something wrong with this, but he couldn't say it, but the original thought of going to see Cao Jing was much lighter, a person can't even discipline his own son well, how can he do great things?
"It's just because of the identity of the Marquis of Linchuan. This is often discussed in the market, but I didn't expect Cao Rui to lose control of his temper after drinking a little wine. Duchenne hurriedly said.
"It's human nature for a son to fight for his father, it's not strange, but it's Zheng Guangqiao, who is talking about the court members in front of everyone, and talking about the marquis of Linchuan who canonized me is so bold." Li Jing snorted coldly and said, "Let's go, don't go to see Cao Jing today, I don't want to see him now." ”
"Yes." Du Xing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded, but in his heart he secretly felt sorry for Cao Jing, he knew that Li Jing came here at this time to see if Cao Jing had the ability to walk in this Qilin Pavilion and enter the political hall, but now it seems that Cao Jing is afraid that Cao Jing has lost such an opportunity.
As soon as everyone turned the corner, in front of the Linchuan Marquis Mansion, Cao Jing appeared, looked at the group of people in the distance, and faintly saw a familiar figure, his face changed slightly, and he was about to step forward to greet him, and finally turned into a long sigh, he could only kneel on the ground and salute Li Jing's back.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Marquis of Linchuan has discovered Your Majesty and is kneeling to see Your Majesty." Behind Du Xing, a secret guard saw it clearly and hurriedly said.
Li Jing's footsteps stopped, and finally turned into a long sigh.
