Chapter 666: Clansmen

Li Jing received the most detailed information from Bianjing on the fourth day of the gold medal order, Chai Erniang compiled the matter of Bianjing into a book and sent it to Zezhou, Li Jing knew what happened in Bianjing, and he was also very glad that he stayed in Zezhou, otherwise, he would have missed the intelligence of the secret guard, and at this time he may have been captured by the people of the imperial court.

"Where is Madame now?" Li Jing put down the letter in his hand and asked the secret guard.

"Madame has arrived in Luoyang, but the Luoyang Imperial Court is relatively strict there, and Madame can't cross the Yellow River now, so she is ready to come out of Chang'an and take a detour to Hedong Road." The Dark Guard hurriedly said. Li Jing was much more relieved.

"Lord Zhang, these students are really bold, even the mansion of the general of the imperial court will be impacted, is this imperial court really a scholar's world?" Li Jing handed the letter to Zhang Zeduan and chuckled: "Don't say that General Ben, he defeated Tian Hu just now, and he can be regarded as having made some contributions, but Tian Hu has not been eliminated yet?" Just thinking about my life, could it be that these scholars think that Tian Hu can be defeated so easily. ”

"This, the general, can be seen from the letter, I am afraid that someone is secretly manipulating behind this incident, and those students are also instigated by others, so they will become so irrational, the general is the hero of the world, the lower officials think that the overall situation of the court should be taken seriously, such a trivial matter, there is no need to worry about it, I believe that the court will definitely give the general an explanation." Zhang Zeduan said in the end, even he felt blushing, now that the gold medal that summoned Li Jing has been in Li Jing's hands, the court's treatment of Li Jing may be to wait for Li Jing to enter Bianjing, and immediately lock him up, otherwise, until now, he has not given a word to the General Mansion of Zhengbei, as the second wife of the general Li Jing, Chai Erniang, is now living in Luoyang, which is obviously inappropriate.

"Forget it, Master Zhang, you can't even say this sentence, the court's treatment of me is like this, although Li Jing believes that the court may not kill me, but Li Jing doesn't dare to see his life in the hands of the court." Li Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After Zhang Zeduan heard this, he showed a hint of embarrassment, don't say it's Li Jing, even if it's himself, he doesn't dare to enter Beijing, who dares to bury his life, not to mention that Li Jing is a general, many people can't achieve such a height in their lives, and it's a pity to die.

"General, even so, the lower officials are afraid of the meeting between the government and the opposition to discuss the general." Zhang Zeduan sighed slightly, only he and others know the truth about this matter, and other people may not know, these people who don't know the truth will lobby everywhere, and even ruin Li Jing's reputation. Originally, Li Jing had a bad relationship with the people in the court, but now that he is like this, he is even more alienated from the court, even if he will not rebel, he will not drink the court is one heart.

"So what, this mouth is on you scholars, these things are also done by you scholars, even if General Ben really goes to Jingshi, these scholars will not let me go, and even after I die, they will look at me to frame me!" Li Jing gave birth to a trace of murder in his heart, the scholars of the Song Dynasty are no longer like a few decades ago, during the years of Yingzong and Renzong, there are still a lot of righteous readers, since Wang Anshi changed the law, the new party, the old party, and the struggle between the parties Yes, these readers are no longer pure readers. The truth is no longer very important. It can be said that up to now, although the scholars also belong to the elite group, they actually have no elite capital.

Zhang Zeduan has no face to answer, he does not belong to a certain party, the new party does not accept it, and the old party does not stay, so he is just a painter. He also saw all kinds of disputes in the court and knew that what Li Jing said was reasonable.

"Is this the way the general is done?" Zhang Zeduan still asked a little.

"What if not? Let General Ben raise troops to rebel? Li Jing shook his head and said, "Rebellion at this time is just to leave a legacy of infamy through the ages, which is not what I, Li Jing, want." ”

Zhang Zeduan was overjoyed when he heard this, if Li Jing rebelled at this time, I am afraid that Zhang Zeduan would immediately turn around and leave, not wanting to leave a reputation for the ages, but he didn't hear it, Li Jing was talking about the present, not the future.

But half a month later, Li Jing finally met Chai Erniang in Zezhou, she couldn't hide the beauty of her body, and Li Jing personally greeted her under the city gate.

"Husband, these two are strong men I met on the road, and they said that they came to defect to the general." Under the city gate, Chai Erniang pointed to two middle-aged people on the side, one was handsome and elegant, but his face was dark, and the other was loyal, and his eyes were filled with a trace of murder.

"Longxi Li Han (Li Qiao) has seen the general." The two arched their hands towards Li Jing.

After Li Jing heard this, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and said politely: "The little nephew has seen the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle. The little nephew missed the distance, and asked the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle to forgive their sins. ”

"Okay, good, it seems that the seventh brother and the ninth brother have already told you, yes, yes, to create such a big foundation, no wonder the patriarch asked me to wait out of the mountain to come to assist." A smile appeared on Li Han's face, but Li Qiao's face was unwavering, as if there was no change.

"It turned out to be the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle, the second mother has been offended all the way, and the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle are not to blame." Chai Erniang understood the identity of the two of them, and suddenly said with a slight embarrassment, the civil and military generals beside him realized that Li Jing was not fighting the world alone, and there was a huge family behind him, but he didn't know the origin of this family.

"Let's go, let's go into town!" Li Jing said with a smile: "In the early spring, the weather is cold, I don't want to stay outside, there is already a banquet in the house, and the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle are invited to enjoy it." ”

"Yes, General, please." Li Han's face suddenly showed joy, and he said loudly.

Li Jing nodded, helped Chai Erniang into the carriage, and led everyone towards Zezhou City, and the group entered the mansion and let Chai Erniang enter the back house, but he gathered everyone and reintroduced it.

"Uncle Nine is now in Taiyuan Mansion to help the little nephew deal with political affairs, this time because of His Majesty's gold medal recruitment, the little nephew will leave Taiyuan and go to Beijing, but now it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Beijing in a short time." Li Jing said with a slight sigh.

"This matter is also rumored outside, but the general, the last general thinks that this is nothing, when the emperors of the past dynasties arose, they were not infamous, and finally waited for the throne, after governing the world, everyone sang the praises of the Ming monarch?" Li Han said nonchalantly: "Isn't Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty a typical example? ”

After Zhang Zeduan and the others listened to it, they suddenly felt embarrassed, whether it was Li Han or Li Qiao, they all had a trace of evil spirit, and their style of action was biased towards soldiers. Speaking more directly, direct is unacceptable.

"There is no need to raise troops to rebel, my ambition is to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun and restore my Han and Tang territories." Li Jing glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking about the purpose of the two of them. I belong to the side branch, and it is naturally a good thing for the people of Longxi to come to help, but who is the deputy and who is the deputy, this matter has to be thought about, and the people in Longxi will really be willing to assist themselves? This person is selfish, and Li Jing believes that the same is true of the Li family in Longxi.

"What the general said is very true, and the last general is ashamed of himself." Li Han laughed, but he was hiding his embarrassment.

"Uncle Ten, rest assured, after going back to Taiyuan this time, I will discuss with everyone about my Hedong Road in the future." Li Jing had more smiles on his face, looked around, and said, "Hedong Road is not my Li Jing's, but everyone's, and the imperial court." ”

"As long as there is a fight, it's fine." Li Qiao said a word at this time, but it made Li Jing's heart move.

"General, I and your sixth uncle are not good at literary affairs, they only know how to march and fight, and your sixth uncle is only training Zhuang Ke on weekdays, and by the way, he exterminated the nearby bandits, this time he came to Hedong Road, because the general commanded an army of more than 100,000 troops, and there will definitely be a war in the future, so he will take the initiative to ask to come." Li Han hurriedly explained.

"Well, the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle can rest assured, there will naturally be a battle on Hedong Road, and when I return to Taiyuan, I will arrange the affairs of Hedong Road first, and the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle can also rest for a while at the ninth uncle, waiting for the army to go out." Li Jing pondered for a moment and said with a smile. But he didn't arrange an errand for the two, let alone let the two lead the army.

Li Han and Li Qiao glanced at each other, and Li Han hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, follow the general's orders." ”

"It's so good, set up a banquet, and this general will entertain the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle." Li Jing was overjoyed, patted his thigh and beckoned the generals and said. The faces of all the generals also showed joy. It's just that Li Jing is sitting on the top, but there is a strange look in his eyes.

In the bedroom, Li Jing had a hint of wine on his body, holding Chai Erniang in his arms, his hands swimming in the snow white, Chai Erniang's face was ruddy, unlike other women, Chai Erniang had not been contaminated with rain and dew for a long time, this time Li Jing finally ate a full meal, but unfortunately, now he is too lazy to move his fingers.

"I saw another woman in the back house just now, where did the husband get the wonderful person? The posture is not below the sisters at all! Chai Erniang suddenly thought of something, and there was a hint of vinegar in her tone.

"Today's daughter, Cai Jing's daughter-in-law." Li Jing said with a slight smugness. There is no woman around Li Jing, before Chai Erniang came, she was served by Emperor Maode, after this woman was sophistry by Li Jing, she really thought that she could help the court and win over Li Jing, but she was flattering to Li Jing, plus Li Jing's means were superb, and she took Emperor Maode to try some postures that she had not tried before, and Li Jing was strong and strong, and it was not comparable to Cai Ying before, after some exercises, Emperor Maode was also used to this kind of life.

"Is that her? is known as the first beauty in Beijing, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of my husband. Chai Erniang's eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled: "If it is another woman, I will discuss it with Sister Lan, if it is this woman, I must have agreed here, Cai Jing killed his father at the beginning, and now the husband has accepted his daughter-in-law as a concubine, this is karma." Back then, Zhao Kuangyin took away my Chai family's country, and now his descendants are my husband's concubines, and they still have to serve me, which is also retribution. ”

Li Jing didn't speak, he knew Chai Erniang's thoughts, the grievances between the Chai family and the Zhao family have been implicated for more than a hundred years, it seems that the Zhao family has a good deal with the Chai family, but in fact, who knows everything about it?

"By the way, what do you think of my two clan uncles?" Li Jing changed the topic and said.

"I'm still very optimistic about Uncle Six, Uncle Ten, he looks hearty and generous, but in fact, he is cunning in his heart, and he is not a gentleman!" Chai Erniang sneered and said: "The Li family is a royal family of the previous dynasty, and your branch is a side branch, at this time you are in power, people may not help you, no one knows what you think in your heart." The concubine thinks that the tenth uncle cannot give military power. ”

"How can you have such an opinion, today I can see clearly, the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle came, in fact, the tenth uncle came first, and the sixth uncle still had to listen to the tenth uncle." Li Jing asked with some curiosity, he really hadn't seen the relationship clearly.

"We met at Longmen, when the carriage passed, there was a child begging on the side of the road, and was pushed to the ground by a ruffian, when the sixth uncle and the tenth uncle passed by, the tenth uncle disdained, but the sixth uncle stepped forward and beat the ruffian, and gave the little boy some money." Chai Erniang explained: "When the concubine's carriage passed by, I once heard the word untouchable in the mouth of Uncle Shi. Therefore, Uncle Ten looks very good at talking, but in fact he is full of family thoughts, and Uncle Six looks cold, but his heart is hot. If such a person is loyal to one person, he will definitely serve the other person. ”

Li Jing nodded, seeing the big from the small, seeing the small and knowing, from a very small side you can see a big side, you can know the other party's personality, Chai Erniang can see the essence of this matter from a small thing.

"Outsiders can't be trusted after all." Li Jing said without thinking. No matter how heroic Li Han behaves in front of him, it is difficult to hide his own purpose, a person who looks down on the common people and calls the other party a pariah, how can he be a good general and a good subordinate, Li Jing doesn't like these Li family people very much, but Li Fu kindly invited the Li family in Longxi to come, Li Jing is not good at saying anything.

"And how are you going to arrange these two people?" Chai Erniang hesitated a little, and finally asked.

"The internal affairs are handed over to Zhao Ding and Li Fu, I mainly march to fight, this year I am going to go to the grassland, the cavalry is the main force on the battlefield, our cavalry is not enough, we must seize it on the grassland." Li Jing thought for a while and said: "The main forces of the Liao State are now concentrated on the Jin army, and the military strength of the Liao State in the northwest is relatively weak, so it is just my opportunity." ”
