But at this moment, there was another noise in the forest, Lu Fei raised his eyes and saw more than a dozen big men rushing out again, but he didn't bring a guy in his hand, and he didn't talk to Lu Fei and others, just silently walked to the side of the fallen big tree, and moved the tree to the side together, regardless of whether Lu Fei agreed or not, a bandit took the reins in his hand, put the horse back on the car, helped Zhao Bantou into the car, and smeared his wound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Fei and his entourage looked at each other, what kind of trouble was this.

It's not over yet, while this group of bandits is busy, a few horses and a carriage ran on the way, the car was the one abandoned by Yun Niang and them when they fled for their lives, and the big bloody eyes and the frightened handlebar style were in the car.

When Lu Fei saw the big eyes, he hurriedly ran over, Yun Niang touched his pulse, and her face was happy, "Xiao Fei, he can still be saved"

After the bandits were busy, they didn't say hello, didn't leave a word, slipped away, and ran away again.

"Hey, let's go, who the hell are you?" Lu Fei pulled his neck and shouted a few words, but no one answered him.

Yun Niang said, "Xiaofei, don't worry about it so much, it's important to save people first, and then come and inquire later."

"Okay, on the road!"

At this time, Lu Fei didn't have time to think about it, anyway, there was no danger, hurry up, Big Eyes and Zhao Bantou can't wait.

The two carriages drove away from the mountain pass at high speed and went straight to Hangzhou City.

……

It is rainy and rainy, the autumn is getting cooler, and the capital is already cold in October.

In the midst of this mist and rain, not far from the Forbidden City, there is an extraordinary mansion, from the courtyard wall that occupies half of the street, the pavilions and pavilions rise and fall, and there are rows of evergreen trees in the four seasons, the scenery is picturesque.

Li Qi's door is raised from the protrusion of nine horizontal and nine a total of eighty-one large copper nails, showing the majesty of the main family's wealth and dignity, the big stone lion in front of the door is more than one person high, but the strange thing is that the lintel of the Li Qi gate is empty, I don't know which way the sage is here.

However, anyone who looks at the eighty-one big copper nails will immediately turn around and leave, and never dare to look at it again, nine horizontal and nine vertical, royal specifications.

That's right, this is the world-famous leopard room, the palace of Emperor Zhengde today.

At this time, outside the door of the leopard room, an official wearing a longitudinal red official uniform was kneeling under the steps with his waist straight, drizzling, and the red official uniform was soaked in the rain and had become dark red.

He is Yang Tinghe, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, his thin and straight body is trembling, and his face is also pale, but he still kneels like this.

Li Qi's door slowly opened, Yang Tinghe was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the ground.

The old man with no face, but he was an old man with a long clock, poked his head out from behind the door, and when he saw the person under the steps, he shook his head, sighed and walked out, only to see the old man wearing a purple dress, and at a glance he knew that he was a eunuch, and his status was not low, he was the most powerful master of the 24 eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, the great eunuch and the commander of the East Factory, Li Rong.

Li Rong was over seventy years old at this time, and a little eunuch holding an umbrella and carrying him slowly came to Yangting and the side.

"Lord Yang, don't worship, it's the old man, go, help the old man to get up" Li Rong instructed the little eunuch to pick up the old man Yang Ge.

Yang Tinghe looked up when he heard this, and then turned his body to look behind Li Rong, with a look of anticipation, but once again disappointed him, the young and willful emperor still did not appear, he did not get up, and pushed the little eunuch who was going to come up to help him.

Yang Tinghe still straightened his waist as before, "Gonggong Li, when did the emperor summon me in?" ”

Li Rong waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to leave, he personally held an umbrella on the top of Yang Tinghe's head, and took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, his movements were a little slow, and he slowly bent down and gently wiped the water stains on his face for Yang Tinghe.

Li Rong said, "Elder Yang Ge, why are you doing this, the emperor won't see you, go back"

Of course, the emperor will not see him, because as early as more than ten days ago, the emperor had already traveled to Jiangnan in civilian clothes, as for what King Ning's letter, Zhengde didn't know at all, fortunately, China's thousands of years of monarchical rule in the Tang Dynasty has developed to the extreme, all civil and military departments perform their duties, political and ideological work is as stable as Mount Tai, this emperor is not in the court at all does not affect the current situation, all government affairs and cabinets have full power to deal with it.

Yang Tinghe is very stubborn, a scholar, integrity and principles are better than life, he heard that Gonggong Li still said this, so he turned his head away, showing a kind of sworn appearance, "Then please Gonggong Li to tell the emperor, the minister can't see the emperor for a day, so he kneels here every day and waits."

Li Rong saw that he was iron-hearted, and sighed again, Li Rong has been in the palace all his life, and he has really seen many upright officials who dare to speak out in the face of the king, this Yang Ge Lao is one of them, he also knows that he can't be persuaded, but he can't say it clearly.

In fact, as early as ten days ago, when he received an excerpt from the cabinet about King Ning's request to restore the palace guards, he was also taken aback, but what surprised him even more was that this excerpt knew that King Ning was repairing the plank road in Ming at a glance, and the cabinet was approved, which frightened the old Li Rong, so he wanted to go to the cabinet to ask about the situation, but before he went out, Jiang Bin, who was a celebrity in the dynasty and was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, would suddenly visit, saying that he wanted to give a big gift.

After Jiang Bin left, Li Rong realized that Jiang Bin had already colluded with King Ning, and he might not know how much money he had secretly received from King Ning.

Jiang Bin's gift has two things, one is five hundred taels of gold, and the other is the candidate list of Zhang Yan's department, it turns out that since the death of Zhang Raziheng of the Anqing Mansion Battalion Army, no one has asked from the capital to the place, and no one dares to ask, because the whole Susong bandit war was completely assigned by the emperor himself, but the result was that the labor was fruitless, and the government and the opposition were tacit, and no one would be stupid enough to see the emperor's jokes, so as soon as Zhang Rake died, this matter sank into the sea and no one cared.

But as a general, this is an important position, as the saying goes, you can't be left without a master in the army for a day, and whoever takes over Zhang Rake's position can't be ignored.

The military and political division of the Tang Dynasty, under normal circumstances, this kind of filling vacancies are drawn up by the Ministry of War to draw up a waiting list, of course, who to choose will know when you look at the list, who is the first name to be who is, and the others are almost some foils, in order to show fairness.

When Jiang Bin gave this list to Li Rong, Li Rong was surprised, the first in line was Li Zhi, the only son of his brother's family, who was born in a military household, and still entrusted Li Rong's blessing to seek a position in a hundred households in Jinyiwei.

Li Rong has no sons, and he has high hopes for this nephew, if he can really become the general of Anqing, this is a great thing, but Jiang Bin intentionally or unintentionally reminded when he was leaving, saying that the cabinet did not send a letter to King Ning's mansion, I heard that King Ning has been very troubled by the water bandits in Poyang Lake recently, and is actively assisting local officials to calm down, at this time, if the guards of the palace can be restored, it will definitely make King Ning twice the result with half the effort.

Li Rong understood, this is to buy himself, of course he can't agree, but Jiang Bin's other words made him shudder, Jiang Bin said that Li Zhi is still serving in Jinyiwei, and this promotion is not so easy, you have to go up and down, and recently there are many Qingliu officials in the capital who have slandered the government, Jinyiwei has made many open investigations and secret visits, and there are a few times that officials dare to openly instruct the family to fight with Jinyiwei, no, in the past half a year, Beizhen Fusili has lost dozens of Jinyiwei, Li Zhi is young and vigorous, I always like to rush to the front when I encounter problems, and I will die in the line of duty one day, and the order of this official department should be issued earlier.

Li Rong heard it, Jiang Bin was threatening him, in fact, with Li Rong's current identity, it would be a matter of one sentence to take care of his nephew, but he was Li Rong, and Liu Jin, the powerful eunuch back then, did not get rid of Li Rong, the only threat to himself, because Liu Jin knew Li Rong too well, Li Rong acted in a proper manner, was timid and fearful, and he didn't need to die.

Today's Li Rong did it against his will, for the only seedling of the Li family, he used the seal on King Ning's book, and the matter of Ning Wangfu's restoration of the palace guards was a certainty, and he galloped to Nanchang for six hundred miles.

At this time, Li Rong always felt that he was a sinner in the face of Yang Gelao, who was dedicated to the country.

"Lord Yang, King Ning's letter to the emperor has been approved, no matter how much you toss yourself, you can't change it, listen to the old man, go home" Li Rong said.

Li Tinghe grabbed Li Rong's sleeve, "Father-in-law Li, you have always been steady, don't you smell the bloody wind in this book?" ”

Li Rong shook his head and said with a smile, "Lord Yang, I'm too worried" He didn't dare to say more, he knew that he wouldn't panic, let alone panic, so he wanted to withdraw his hand and leave.

Seeing this, Yang Tinghe hurriedly pulled even tighter, "Gonggong Li, the emperor has not been to the court for almost a month, and King Ning's matter must not be done, or you will let me in, if the emperor is to blame, I Yang Tinghe will bear it alone."

Li Rong immediately said, "Lord Yang, it is a capital crime to trespass into the palace, and the old man doesn't have the courage to open this door for you, you better please go back, besides, King Ning's matter is the approval of the cabinet, but you have other intentions as the second assistant of the cabinet, what is this called, the bureaucrats are out of harmony, you know, the emperor is not happy to see this kind of thing, listen to the old man's advice, go back"

Yang Tinghe was a little anxious, "But this matter is simply a word, and Yang does not agree"

Li Rong said, "This is a matter of your cabinet, the old man's palm print is also a decoration in the final analysis, the cabinet is approved, the old man uses the seal, okay, the emperor is about to wake up, the old man has to go and wait, you go"

Seeing this, Yang Tinghe also knew that it was useless to beg him, and he also knew that this matter could not be reversed by his own strength, and he had to think of other ways.

In the drizzle and haze, Yang Tinghe reluctantly glanced at Li Hong's gate again and again, and left, but he didn't give up, he could imagine what would happen after King Ning had an army, he had to work harder.

Nanchang, Ningwangfu.

Yunxiao, who stayed at her mother's house for half a month, was very anxious since she learned that her father had an inexplicable relationship with the mountain bandit Huba, and she also wanted to come forward to dissuade her father, wanting him to get lost, but she didn't know how to speak.

As soon as King Ning returned home, Yunxiao came to find his father.

King Ning is asking his subordinates to remove the armor on his body in the back office, and it can be seen that his father has gone out hunting again, of course, it is impossible to say whether he really went hunting Yunxiao now.

"Father, my daughter has something to say to you," Yunxiao slowly began to salute.

"Yan'er, come on, since you went back to your mother's house, your father has no time to accompany you more, too, such a big palace, there are many things and annoying, sit down, today our father and daughter also sit down and have a good talk, listen to the next person, you have been frowning these days, if you have any worries, just say to your father" Removing his armor, King Ning waved his hand to let the maid out, and pulled Yunxiao to sit at the table in the hall.

Yun Xiao glanced at his father and said, "Father, my daughter came back this time and found that Brother Ji was very different from before, as if he was a completely different person."

When King Ning heard that it was about the prince Li Gongji, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Oh, he has changed, where has he changed?" ”

"These days, my daughter has read a lot of poems written by Ji Dicong, and it can be seen from the poems he wrote that he has ideals and does not want to live this kind of idle life"

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he has been idle, and for more than ten years, he has been making trouble with a group of children of a family in Nanchang City, he can change it, King Ning smiled disdainfully, "He can write poetry?" It's really strange, what have been written, show it to my father."

In fact, this is just Yun Xiao's casual remark, as far as Li Gongji wrote the grape poem before, what one two, three or four, where can this be regarded as poetry, the whole thing slips away, but Yun Xiao's idea is no longer in poetry, but has other plans.

"Daughter recite a few words to you, well, why don't you take Wu Gou, collect Guanshan Fifty Continents, please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar Wanhu Hou, father, listen, our brother is more ambitious"

Of course, this poem was not written by Li Gongji at all, but Yun Xiao knew that his father had never paid attention to things like poetry and scriptures, so how did he know that this was a poem of his predecessors.

King Ning really hadn't heard of this poem, but he could hear the meaning of the poem, and said with a smile, "Wan Hu Hou, haha, he is the son of Ning Wangfu, the future King Ning, he actually wants to be a Hou Ye, haha, Yan'er, this is also called ambition?" ”

Yun Xiao had already prepared his words, "It's different, Brother Ji is revealing a thought, he is not willing to inherit the blessings of his ancestors, he wants to rely on his own efforts"

King Ning was very surprised, and sighed, "Really?" As for the others, call here, my father wants to hear what he wants to do."

"You have been beating or scolding him since you were a child, Wang Wei is furious at every turn, Brother Ji told me that he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of you, what can you ask?"

"This is what he asked for, if he doesn't learn and don't know, how will he inherit the throne in the future"

Yunxiao ran over to pinch her father's shoulder and beat her back, looking like a good girl, "Hasn't it changed now, I'm happy for him as a sister, so, so ......"

"So what's wrong?"

"So my daughter has an idea"

"What thoughts?"

"Father, can you go to the emperor and let Brother Ji go to the capital?"

"What are you doing in the capital?"

"Father, since this royal brother ascended the throne, every year at the Eastern Solstice Festival Sacrifice Ceremony, he will choose one person from the royal family to preside over the ceremony......"

King Ning understood, "You mean to let Ji'er go this year, this, who to choose here is the emperor's idea, how can my father?"

Although King Ning said it easily, he was really surprised in his heart, how could his daughter think so.

Yun Xiao said with a smile, "Brother Ji nests in this Nanchang City every day, and he has never even gone out of the city gate, it is difficult not to cause trouble, it just so happens that now he has changed, isn't it better to go to the emperor in the capital to experience the experience, the imperial brother trusts you so much, as soon as you open your mouth, the emperor will definitely agree, which one to choose is not to choose"

"He asked you to come and talk to me"

Yunxiao nodded, she could see from her father's eyes that her father would definitely agree.

Of course, King Ning will not let go of this good opportunity, if someone in Ning Wangfu can preside over the highest level of royal ceremonies, then the prestige of Ning Wangfu in the government and the opposition will definitely be able to go to a higher level, he also thought about it before, but because his son is really not angry, if Wan Shang makes a fool of himself in the capital at that time, it is not a joke, and now when he hears his children say this, he hooked his thoughts again.

"Then you go and bring him to your father, and I'll see if he's this piece of material."

Yunxiao giggled and ran out, his efforts in the past few days were finally not in vain, God bless Brother Ji has memorized those poetry books.

……

Since Lu Fei and his entourage left from Jilong Mountain in a daze, they didn't have time to think about it, it was important to save people first, so they rushed into Hangzhou City non-stop, and asked about the medical hall Langzhong, luckily, in the end, Hangzhou is a big city, all walks of life are everything, it didn't take much trouble, and it didn't take much trouble to find it before they just entered the city.

Lang Zhong looked at the group, all of them were embarrassed, and two more were seriously injured, plus the accent was from the direction of Jilong Mountain, so he had already guessed that this must have been a bandit on the way, but what made Lu Fei strange was that when this old man Zhong was checking the injuries for Big Eye and Zhao Bantou, he was not surprised at all when he heard that he was injured by bandits, as if he was not surprised.

Later, under Lu Fei's inquiry, I learned that in the last month alone, more than 20 people had been rescued in his medical hall alone, some of them were seriously injured, and some of them had already died when they were brought over, all of which were done by bandits on Jilong Mountain, but the injured have rarely been seen in recent days, and that is because few people have dared to fight under Jilong Mountain anymore.

After Lu Fei heard this, he was angry, and he didn't care about robbing others, but now that this matter has fallen on his head, the big eyes and Zhao Ban's head are injured like this, and I can't swallow this breath.

So Lu Fei asked Langzhong again why the bandits had been making trouble for so long, and it was only a few dozen miles away from Hangzhou City, why the government didn't care.

Lang Zhong smiled but did not answer, burying his head in front of him.

Lang Zhong checked the wounds of the two and said, "It's all flesh and skin injuries, it's no big deal, it's just that there is too much blood loss, and I have to recuperate for a while."

Hearing that the two of them were fine, Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, now what he was eager to know was what was so special about this gang of bandits, Hangzhou City was a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, and there would be bandits rampant so close to the city.

There are medical hall apprentices who carry Big Eyes and Zhao Bantou to the backyard to take medicine, and Heizi is also very tired, sitting on the side still looking frightened, as for Yun Niang and Ling Ning are not afraid of it now, they helped the junior apprentice to go to the backyard together, and it will be safe when they enter the city.

Taking advantage of the absence of everyone, Lu Fei pulled Lao Lang over again and said, "Old man, you see, we are from other places, we don't know the local affairs, we were robbed by bandits without paying attention, there is a way to be wronged, there is a debtor, and the person has been beaten like this, so I want to go to the government to report to the official, you always tell me, is there a spectrum in this matter?" ”

Lao Langzhong shook his head, walked to the counter, and was busy picking up all kinds of medicinal materials scattered on the table, and at this time, there were only Lu Fei and a group of people who were seeking medical treatment in the medical hall.

Lu Fei also followed.

When Lao Langzhong saw him like this, he said, "Young man, more things are better than less, be content if you can pick up a life and come back, don't think about those useless"

"Are you saying that the government doesn't care or can't manage it?"

Lao Langzhong glanced at Lu Fei, "What is the use of Shengdou Xiaomin asking about these?"

Lu Fei looked at him like this, he must know something, and he was even more interested, "Old man, don't worry, I always want to stretch out my hand when I see injustice, not to mention that I am also a victim, it is inevitable that there will be other people who fall into the way of bandits in the future, there is a saying in the doctor, hanging the pot helps the world, I believe you also want to see this gang of bandits calm down as soon as possible."

This sentence really made Lao Langzhong look at Lu Fei differently, a young man actually had such a state of mind, it didn't matter.

Lao Langzhong put down what he was doing and told Lu Fei everything he knew.

A few months ago, there was a group of homeless people who ran into Jilong Mountain, and if there was nothing to do, they grabbed some food outside the mountain, scaring passers-by, and the government also sent people to see it after knowing it, but nothing was found, and the homeless people heard that there were officials and soldiers coming, and they all ran into the mountains without showing up for several days, and the government was helpless, and then later, that is, last month, this gang of bandits suddenly made a fuss, in the past, they only robbed things and did not hurt people, and now there are no less than hundreds of people who have died.

So the rich people in the city went to the Yamen of Hangzhou Mansion to ask the officials and soldiers to control the bandits, and the officials and soldiers were moved, but they didn't think that the prefect had been strapped for money, and they searched the city, claiming to be used to treat the fees, Lu Fei heard this, it turned out that he didn't just make a fortune on the grounds of the bandits, there was no shortage of such talents, and they had become a way to make a fortune as an official.

Later, as soon as the official army moved, the bandits retreated into the mountain, and the officers and soldiers retreated, and within a few days the bandits made trouble again, and the officers and soldiers went again, or looted a pass, and so on, no less than seven or eight times before and after, and now the rich households have also seen it, this is clearly the official bandits' family, raising Kou to make a fortune, so no one goes to ask the officials and soldiers to control the bandits, and no one dares to beat the chicken coop under the mountain.

In the end, there are arrest notices posted in the city of Hangzhou, but this is what the common people have seen, the fart is not used, the bandits are still making trouble, and the official still makes a fortune.

The prefect saw that no one came to him, so he apportioned it, and he didn't need to change it from the beginning, to control the bandits!

Lu Fei couldn't stop scolding himself when he heard it, why didn't he think of this trickle of water when he was governing a mountain and bandits, talent, but he turned his head and thought, this can't be done, of course the money is not enough, but how to climb up without political achievements, this Hangzhou prefect really wants money and death, and he is desperate, who wants to sue him at this time.
