Chapter 0240 - Expedited
At this time, Li Ru loosened the excerpt, and King Ning was inevitably uneasy, and King Ning said, "Do you know the content of the excerpt?" ”
Zhao Zhong shook his head, "The imperial envoy's excerpt, subordinates, this"
He, Zhao Zhong, didn't dare to privately dismantle a dignified four-grade imperial envoy who went straight to the heavens. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
King Ning's face sank, "Catch up, the old man wants to know what he wrote"
Zhao Zhong looked uneasy, "Yi Cheng said that this excerpt is six hundred miles expedited, this will, this will be afraid that the Yellow River has already been crossed."
King Ning flicked his sleeves, "Go, go to his house, no matter what method you use, the old man must find a way to find out what is written on this folding."
Zhao Zhong swallowed his saliva and said, "Subordinate respect!" ”
……
Yun Xiao came out of the concubine's room, Li Gongji, the prince of Ning Wangfu, took his sister around the palace, and talked about the changes in the palace in the past two years, Yun Xiao was very happy, as long as he didn't stay in the Zhao family, which was lifeless and full of gold and silver, Yun Xiao would feel relaxed wherever he was.
The grandeur of Ning Wangfu has been flourishing in recent years, occupying a few streets, compared with the feudal prince's mansion of the clan in other places, the original site is the official office of the Jiangxi political envoy, and it is the largest official office of the entire Jiangxi province, and later it was favored by King Ning, using various relationships between the government and the opposition, and finally got his wish to let the emperor order to change the official office to the private residence of Ning Wangfu, and then expand it, now I am afraid that only the Forbidden City of the Tang Dynasty can be compared with it.
More than ten years ago, the prefect of Nanchang had an excerpt to the Hongzhi Emperor at that time with the Ningwang Mansion over-system, that is, the father of the current Zhengde Emperor Li Youjiao, but the timing was unfortunate very, in this fold just arrived in the capital a few days, just in the prime of life of the Hongzhi Emperor returned to the sky, only fifteen-year-old Li Houzhao is the emperor, this letter of the Shenning Wangfu over-system of the excerpt has not been asked since then, so many years have passed, the former Nanchang prefect has long passed away, this matter is over.
Yun Xiao and Li Gongji walked slowly along the long gallery in the palace, talking and laughing, and at this moment, a commotion came from the gate of the palace.
Yun Xiao was a little curious, there have always been many rules in this palace, no one is allowed to make loud noises in the palace, listening to these sounds Yun Xiao felt very unfamiliar, so she walked a few steps quickly, left her brother and walked a few steps quickly, looking for the sound, Li Gongji shouted again and again, "Sister, sister, where are you going, this, you haven't seen this, there are a few golden carp in this pond that I personally stocked last year, I heard that they are still from Nanyang"
When he saw that his sister didn't look back, he had to follow.
The side door of King Ning's Mansion was wide open, and the housekeeper of the palace was standing at the door and nodding to everyone who entered, making a gesture of invitation.
"Haha, but Lao Tzu has been slandered, Lao Ning Wang has been to Fengyang for more than half a month, but he has returned home, brothers, say okay, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return" As soon as the speaker rushed into the palace, he touched the long scar on his face and shouted, this person has a full beard, and the clothes on his chest are wide open, revealing a clump of curly and thick chest hair, which is not good at a glance.
A man with a harpoon or something in his hand casually threw the harpoon to the butler of the palace when he entered the door, and swaggered into the door, he also laughed, "That's the place where King Ning has no brothers to drink and have fun."
A group of more than a dozen people entered the palace with loud laughter before and after, and they did not regard this place as the Ning Wangfu that the people of Nanchang heard about on weekdays, but only as comfortable in their own compound, and everyone had a kind of Jianghu atmosphere, and there were many swear words in their mouths.
Yun Xiao bypassed the corridor at this time, came to the front yard, and happened to meet this group of people unexpectedly, Yun Xiao saw this group of people, and immediately frowned, it was really the opposite, where did this come from, a group of things that don't know the height of the sky, dare to go in and out of Ning Wang's Mansion casually, she just wanted to open her mouth to scold, but she didn't expect the other party to open her mouth first.
When the big man with a scar on his face saw Yun Xiao's beauty, he was so happy to show his teeth like a layer of butter, touched his mouth and looked at a few people in his companionship, and said contemptuously, "Yo, who is this little beauty, why has Lao Tzu never seen it in Ning Wangfu, look, how much water is smart, then that, look at this figure, hey, you say, does the mink Zen sung in this drama look like this?"
As soon as this group of people saw Yunxiao, they were immediately shocked, and they were used to debauchery, who knew what Sven was, who she was, such a big beauty suddenly appeared in front of them, and everyone's hands and hearts began to itch, and they couldn't wait to go up and pinch the smooth face of the little beauty.
"Yes, King Ning is really not interesting, there is such a little beauty hidden in the house, and he doesn't introduce the brothers to him, girl, who are you" Some people couldn't hold back their inner desires, and they opened their mouths lightly.
The county lord of Yunxiao, who has been raised like a moon by the stars since he was a child, has ever suffered this kind of insult, let alone an ordinary official of Nanchang Mansion, even when the political envoy of Nanchang saw her, he had to be called the lord of Yunxiao, this is the name of the emperor himself, where did this come from.
Yun Xiaoqiao's face turned red, and her silver teeth creaked, if the momentum was seen by the people in the mansion, she would have run away in fright.
"Presumptuous, King Ning's Mansion is also a place where you can be wild" Yun Xiao glared angrily, and the majesty of the county lord jumped on his face.
"Yo! It's still a spicy, yes, I just like this energy" The scar laughed while his eyes greedily scanned Yun Xiao's body.
"You, it's ...... the other way around" Yun Xiao was really dizzy.
When everyone saw Yunxiao like this, they laughed loudly in unison.
At this time, Li Gongji, who had been following behind Yun Xiao, ran from behind, he didn't know what was going on in the front yard, but he knew that something was wrong when he heard the voice.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, you want to find death" Li Gongji saw that this group of people stopped in front of his sister, and they were all saliva about to flow out, so he pointed and shouted while running towards this side.
As soon as Yunxiao heard that her brother was coming, she said, "What about the nursing home, when will this kind of person in the house be able to enter and exit casually, let the nursing home beat them out"
When everyone saw Li Gongji appear, they were slightly surprised, but they also looked indifferent, casually arched their hands, and said casually, "I've seen the prince of the world"
The housekeeper, who had been greeting guests at the gate of the house, also heard the movement at this time and hurriedly ran over.
"Don't, don't, the little one has seen the county lord, the prince, don't do it, don't do it, these are the guests invited by the prince" When the housekeeper saw this frame, he knew that something was wrong, and he was busy standing between Yunxiao and everyone.
The housekeeper turned to everyone again, "Everyone, you are all guests of the prince, you must not be rude, you have not seen the lord of Yunxiao, she is the pearl of the prince's palm."
As soon as everyone heard that this woman turned out to be the most beautiful Yunxiao county lord in Nanchang Mansion, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, everyone heard that the Yunxiao county lord married the Zhao family, a giant businessman in Anqing Mansion, two years ago, and there was no hope.
Everyone was unhappy, and arched their hands to Yunxiao and walked around her to the palace flower hall, not taking her Yunxiao seriously at all.
Yun Xiao had just been teased by these people, how could she let them go so easily, she just wanted to move, and before she opened her mouth, she saw her brother pulling her clothes, and kept squeezing her eyes, signaling her to stop talking, Yun Xiao didn't know what she meant, but her brother must have something hidden in doing this, so he temporarily suppressed the fire, and turned his face angrily and didn't want to look at this group of people again.
When everyone walked by Yunxiao casually, the housekeeper naturally understood this eldest lady of the palace, and hurriedly approached Yunxiao with his hand, and whispered, "County Lord, you are angry, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, don't be like this group of rough people, they are now gaining power in the prince's place, and the little ones have to go over to serve them."
The housekeeper left, but Yun Xiao didn't know what to do, what does this have to do with it, how can the Tang Ning Mansion have anything to do with these people.
"Brother Ji, what's going on, who are they, does my father know about these things?" Yun Xiao is not angry now, but her mind is full of doubts.
Li Gongji's face was embarrassed, and he scratched his head, deliberately avoiding his sister's gaze.
"Say, what's wrong, what's going on in the house?" The more her brother is like this, the more curious Yun Xiao becomes, is this still the famous Ning Wangfu before she got married?
"Sister, don't ask, let's go, let's see the golden carp" Li Gongji opened his mouth.
Yunxiao still doesn't give up, now she is a member of the Zhao family, Ning Wangfu has nothing to do with her, but these people are not serious people at first glance, they go in and out of the palace in broad daylight, and follow their father's side, what do they want to do? Will it be bad for my father?
"Tell my sister, what happened in the mansion during my sister's absence, and how did these people come to the palace" Yunxiao didn't give up, so I had to find out.
Li Gongji saw that he couldn't get rid of it left and right, so he shook his head and said, "Okay, anyway, sooner or later you will know, come, I'll tell you"
Saying that, Li Gongji pulled Yunxiao towards the corridor, stopped in the middle of the corridor, Li Gongji looked left and right, except for a few people in the distance who were cleaning the yard, and no one else, so he whispered.
"Sister, you can't say these things to outsiders."
"Okay, sister knows, you say, tell me everything you know"
"It's been a long time since the house was restless, and the man with the scar on his face just now, do you know who he is?"
"I haven't seen it, and it's not a serious person like that," Yun Xiao shook his head.
Li Gongji said with a look of resentment, "You may not know this person, but you must have heard his name, have you heard of Poyang Lake Lake Bandit?" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, his face suddenly pale, "He's a lake bandit?" ”
"What's more, he is the leader of the lake bandits, nicknamed Lake Yama"
Yun Xiao's heart shook suddenly, this' The name of Hu Yan Luo spread throughout Jiangxi more than ten years ago, he took a group of lake bandits to do evil on the big Poyang Lake, robbing passing ships, I heard that the momentum had more than 300 pirate ships in its heyday, thousands of bandits, these years, everything in the lake to beg for a living or transport goods of the ship, that all have to be the consent of this lake Yama, of course, this is to spend money to buy, otherwise the boats are not allowed to haunt the lake, the court has not bothered much about this matter, but such a big lake, the bay forks are dense, the people and bandits are mixed, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, there is nothing to be done about these people, so these people have been let for this disaster so far, I don't know what the purpose of this King Ning recruited these people in the mansion, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be a big crime of gangsters.
Li Gongji continued, "Also, the man with the gray cloth on his head, he is the bandit leader on Shizhong Mountain, and the one who is not tall and blind with one eye, he is the thief Liu Heizi who kills people without blinking, and the ...... who wears black clothes."
"Don't say it" Yun Xiao couldn't listen anymore, she seemed to vaguely feel a chill in her back, it seems that no one can stop what should happen, oh my God, my father is crazy, he fell into the whirlpool of power and can no longer extricate himself.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Li Gongji saw his sister's blank expression, he was frightened, he thought that he was so fierce and vicious that he scared his sister.
Yun Xiao grabbed his younger brother's hand, "Let's go, hurry, get out of here, the farther away from King Ning's Mansion, the better."
Li Gongji was more confused, "Sister, what are you talking about, this, although these people are notoriously wicked, they don't dare to do anything to King Ning's Mansion, they all listen to their father."
The innocent Li Gongji thought that his sister was frightened by these people, where could he see the terrible secret hidden in his father's heart.
Yun Xiao smiled bitterly a few times, slowly turned around and walked away, muttering to himself, "Can't go, can't go, it's too late, it's too late!" ”
The changes in King Ning's Mansion did not only appear in the Mansion of King Ning in Nanchang, but even the cabinet of the highest authority of the empire, which was thousands of miles away, and the words that several cabinet ministers talked about the most throughout the day today were 'Ning Wangfu'.
Early this morning, Jiang Bin, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, guided a post man into a small house on the right side of Wenyuan Pavilion, don't look at the place, but every piece of paper sent out from here can affect the court situation of the Tang Dynasty, this is the cabinet yamen of the Tang Dynasty.
Less than a mile after the post man left, a man in a second-class official uniform, holding a fold in his hand, hurriedly ran out of the door and ran towards a door on the side, probably because the matter was too urgent, and when he pushed the door, he almost fell.
"Pavilion Senior, Pavilion Senior" The official held on to the door frame and stumbled in.
A group of officials in the room were standing in front of an elderly man wearing a bright red official uniform and embroidered with a flying crane on his chest.
Liang Ge Lao glanced sideways at the visitor, and said with a calm expression, "Lord Xia, so reckless, where does he look like a cabinet minister, don't you know that the old man is deliberating?" ”
Cabinet Minister Xia Yan stood still, and then bowed, "The lower official is rude, please atone for the sins"
Liang Chu bowed his head and said, "That's it, what's the matter?" ”
Xia Yan raised the fold in his hand, "There is an urgent book"
Liang Chu, as the head of the current court, saw this situation and guessed that this fold had some weight, so he said to the officials standing in front of him, "Then let's discuss this today, you go down first."
One after another, the crowd withdrew.
After Xia Yan waited for everyone to leave, he hurriedly closed the door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and came to Liang Ge Lao.
"Where did you get the excerpt?" Liang Chu stretched out his hand.
"Nanchang, King Ning" Xia Yan looked nervous and handed over the fold.
"King Ning? What kind of excerpt did he make, the old man had never seen King Ning on the fold since he entered the pavilion," Liang Ge Lao muttered as he slowly unfolded this excerpt that scared Xia Yan into the six gods.
I saw Liang Chu's pair of eyes staring at the fold in front of him for a long time, and his expression was no better than Xia Yan just now, Liang Ge Lao looked at it once, stayed stunned, and then looked down again.
"Elder Ge, you say, what does this King Ning want to do?" Xia Yan asked while swallowing his saliva on the side.
Liang Ge fiercely closed the fold, ignored Xia Yan, and walked back and forth in the house.
"Pavilion Elder, Pavilion Elder Ge?" Xia Yan shouted on the side, he really didn't know what to do, why was he so unlucky, this fold was handed over to him.
One thing was written on the excerpt, King Ning wrote to the imperial court on the grounds that the Poyang Lake bandits were powerful, requesting the restoration of the palace guards that had been abolished since the Battle of Jingjing, which seemed to be reasonable, but in fact, let alone the excerpt, that is, in the past 100 years, no one dared to mention it.
The palace guard sounds like just a private army raised by the vassal kings in the palace to guard the family and the courtyard, and it does not belong to the national army of the Tang Dynasty, but this matter is still from the beginning.
The reason why Li Di has this capital is that the capital of his fortune is to rely on the vassal system established by Li Yuanzhang at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the whole world is the Li family, the eldest son is the emperor, the second son guards the east for the eldest son, and the third guards the south.
Since each vassal king wants to defend one side, then there must be military power in his hands, so there is such a royal guard, the number of thousands of people, the number of more than 10,000 people, among which the Yan King Li Di, who was named Yanjing, has the most troops in his hands, because after the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, the Mongols ran back to the grassland, but they were not completely wiped out, in fact, the Yuan Dynasty was never eliminated, and the last generation of the Yuan Dynasty Feng Wang did not pass away until the twentieth century, so that the Yuan and Ming dynasties took the fief of the Yan King as the border, The Yuan army often attacked south, and King Yan's army remained at about 9,000 people all year round.
However, an army with war experience all the year round, the number of its soldiers is changing from time to time, before Li Di raised the army, the quota of 9,000 people who can say clearly, the key is not the number, the main reason is that since there is military power, then there is the ability to expand the army privately, according to historical records, Li Di's Yan Wangfu, its palace was almost completely hollowed out, there were nearly 30,000 troops hidden inside, Li Di built many blacksmith shops on the edge of the palace, The sound of tinkling iron was used to cover up the sound of military training in his house.
As soon as Emperor Jianwen's order to cut the feudal domain reached the palace of King Yan, King Yan immediately handed over the military power to paralyze his poor nephew.
Therefore, Li Di's starting capital is the private placement system of this palace, so that when he sat on the dragon chair and held power again, he ordered all the royal guards of the king of the world to be handed over to the local government, until now.
What is the purpose of King Ning's request to reinstate this request that has made the emperor restless? How can this make Xia Yan and Liang Chu who received the excerpt not afraid, and pressed down the excerpt and did not report it, King Ning has eyes and ears in the court, offending him is not much different from offending the emperor, report it, if it causes trouble in the future, the first one to destroy the nine clans is the cabinet, and the emperor is notoriously irresponsible, and he is so happy, just from the death of the chief eunuch Liu Jin, you can see one or two, it is obviously the emperor Lao Tzu who is fun, and he has no edges, set up brothels/courtyards in the palace, open markets, and let hundreds of officials be prostitutes/ Guest.
Such a ridiculous thing can also be done, Eunuch Liu is just trying his best to cater to the holy will, changing the law to make the emperor happy, and in the end, making the people resentful and angry, thinking of him as a eunuch, if it weren't for the emperor's acquiescence, where did he get the courage to become the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and when the emperor has had enough, Liu Jin can only logically make this scapegoat, not killing is not enough to make the people angry, the emperor is sage.
Now Liang Chu faintly felt that his back was bubbling with a little cold, and there was not much difference between reporting and not reporting the results.
"Elder Liang Ge, you always have an idea, how should this excerpt be drafted" Natsume was still urging Liang Chu like a ghost on the side.
Liang Chu was also in turmoil, thinking that he had been up and down in the sea for most of his life, seeing that he was in his twilight years, he still wanted to be able to return to his hometown, but now there is such a thing.
"Xia Yan, go, go and invite Yang Ting and the lord" Liang Chu was like a deflated ball, sighing and sitting on the chair looking at the black gauze hat on the table.
Yang Tinghe is the second assistant of the cabinet, and if there is such a big matter, he can only discuss it with him, Xia Yan nodded and said, "Yes, the next official will go."
Not long after Xia Yan left, a cabinet officer on duty walked into Liang Ge Lao's room again, and saluted, "Ge Lao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard has asked Jiang Bin to see him."
When Liang Chu heard this, he hurriedly pressed the fold of King Ning under the bookcase, took off the official hat, stood up and said, "Hurry, please hurry"
In the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the first assistant of the cabinet of a first-class product, even if the Tang Dynasty one-word kings who jumped out of the Three Realms and were not in the Five Elements had to salute Jiang Bin for three points, because the power of Jinyiwei had jumped far outside the Three Realms, in addition to this, this Jiang Bin is now a saint, who dares to offend him.
Liang Chu had just walked to the door, Jiang Bin had already come to the door, Liang Chu hated this person very much, especially his extremely ugly face, a centipede-like scar extended from his mouth to under his ears, and he couldn't tell how gritty he was.
Jiang Bin grinned, the 'centipede' scurrying up and down, making Liang Chu's heart furious.
"Yo, Lord Jiang, you are a rare guest, please, please, come, tea" Liang Chu is very strange, Jiang Bin never comes to this cabinet on weekdays, although this person is high and powerful, bullying hundreds of officials, but he never cares about government affairs.
Jiang Bin was not polite, he raised his feet and entered the door, laughed, and found a seat to sit down, "Boring, walk around, I didn't expect to sneak into your cabinet while walking, what's the matter, I didn't disturb the old man of the pavilion."
Liang Chu also sat down on the side, echoing and smiling, "If you want to say that you have a good chance to do it, you have to count Beizhen Fusi."
Jiang Bin was a little proud, "Okay, we're all busy, we're all worried about the emperor, isn't it, the emperor is happy, what do we have to do if we're busy?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Jiang is reasonable, and he deserves to be able to win the emperor's trust"
