Chapter Seventy-One: He Da Takes Over
Zhending Mansion, wide Yong'an Street.
A pair of men and women are particularly eye-catching, the two ride a tall cyan horse, the young man in white hugs a woman in a red robe, the man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and elegant, the woman's facial features are exquisite, and the temperament is like an orchid.
The man on horseback wrapped his hands around the woman's waist and held the reins in his hands, and the woman seemed a little shy, her face was a little ruddy, and her expression was a little twisted.
"Hurry up and let the slave family down, so many people are watching." The woman lowered her head and whispered.
"What are you afraid of, I just want to tell them that you are my woman." The man deliberately teased her.
"Oh, you're so serious...... the woman pinched his arm in anger.
"Haha......" The man clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward.
As soon as the two of them passed, they were followed by hundreds of Song soldiers, all of whom were all in armor, and this group of cavalry kept a distance of three zhang from the two in front, neither too close nor too far.
After this group of people passed, it provoked pedestrians along the street to look sideways.
"What a pair of golden boys and girls."
"This ...... This girl is wearing a wedding robe, huh? An old pedant selling calligraphy and paintings next to him was surprised.
"By the way, I remembered, this morning in the south of the city Ma Yuan married a concubine, I heard that the east of the city is at the head of the Yu family, it seems that Yu Yuan is still unwilling, and the Ma Yuan outside the robbery." A man who was buying calligraphy and paintings whispered.
When he said this, several people next to him gathered to inquire about the news.
"Is there such a thing?" Someone interjected.
"Hmph, that Ma family's wealth is big and powerful, and they are used to being domineering, what's so strange about this." The man who said it earlier was dismissive.
"But what about this officer and soldier?" Someone else wondered.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
Just as everyone was leaving, a man dressed in short brown came running and panted, "You know what? Nama's house, just south of the city, Nama's house was ransacked! ”
"What?!" The crowd that was supposed to leave was suddenly attracted back.
"I went to deliver firewood to the Ma family today as usual, and as a result, guess what?" The short brown man deliberately sells a pass.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was attracted to him and asked.
"Oh, that's a miserable one, the house was smashed unpresently, and the horse and the horse boy were even beaten without a human appearance! I was originally going to deliver firewood, today his family has a happy event, and there are many fires, so I added an extra trip, but it was still lively in the morning, and now it is like this, miserable, you don't know, there is no one at home who can still stand, one by one, the nose is blue and the face is swollen ......" The short brown man pouted, and sighed for a while.
After hearing what he said, everyone was surprised, and everyone couldn't help but look at the back of the cavalry just now......
The two people on that horse were naturally Li Ce and Yu Xian'er.
Seeing that she was about to go home, Xian'er said again: "Oh, you let the slave family come down, it will be bad for the next person to see it later, daddy ......" She suddenly stopped saying this. Yu Chuanyi opposed Xian'er marrying Li Ce, since ancient times, the parents of children have been in charge, Yu Chuanyi did not agree, Xian'er could not marry Li Ce, as soon as she thought of this, Xian'er felt depressed for a while.
Li Ce wanted to tease her again, but one of his own soldiers stepped forward quickly and said, "My lord, General Chen ordered you to go back quickly." ”
Li Ce frowned, what's the matter, hasn't the Liao army already retreated? When is it so urgent, can it be said that the Liao army went and returned?
"Xian'er, there is something important in the army, I have to rush back immediately, there is your house in front, I won't go in today, I will come back to visit another day." Li Ce gently hugged Yu Xian'er off the horse.
"Well, it's okay, the slave family can go back by themselves." Yu Xian'er looked at Li Ce with big eyes.
"You guys, escort her home, wait until everything is stable before returning to the camp, don't be in a hurry to come back." Li Ce sent someone to escort Xian'er back, and he was a little worried when he looked at Yu Jia's before.
Li Ce turned over and got on the horse, and as soon as he turned the horse's head, Xian'er shouted, "Today...... Thanks to you today. After speaking, he lowered his head and wrung the corners of his clothes.
Li Ce laughed and said, "You Nizi, what's wrong today, I haven't seen you so obedient on weekdays." He saw that Yu Xian'er's expression was clearly reluctant to give up on himself, but he was shy and refused to say it clearly, and the appearance of wanting to cover it up was really pitiful.
"Oh, you bad guy!" Yu Xian'er was even more ashamed when he said the central matter, she stomped her foot and said, "Ignore you." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left with a red face, and a group of soldiers hurriedly followed behind.
Zhending Castle Jinglu Mansion.
After Li Ce came in, Liu Tingzhu came in a hurry, "My lord, why did you come back, Chen Shuai has been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Ce nodded and stepped into the Jingluo Mansion.
As soon as he entered the hall, he found that all the leaders in the army had come, but they were all generals at the level of commanders, and he was the only one in command.
All the generals were standing, and there were three people sitting at the top of the place, one was Chen Yaozuo, the other was He Fucun, and one was sitting on the right side of Chen Yaozuo. This person is about forty years old, dressed in a purple official uniform, his face is white, slightly fat, his eyes are a little small, and he looks even smaller when he smiles, and he is looking at everyone with a smile.
"Ce'er is here, come, this is Lord He, Jingzhong has come to take over my position." Chen Yaozuo introduced.
Li Ce hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I've seen Lord He." ”
The man who was called Master He bowed his head slightly, nodded, but did not speak.
This person's name is He Ruinian, and he is a member of the second rank of the imperial court, and he came to replace Chen Yaozuo's position this time.
Chen Yaozuo smiled and continued, the imperial court issued an order, ordering me to rush back to the capital before the eighth day of the seventh month, the time is so urgent, I will leave tomorrow, and I will call you all here today to hand over the affairs.
"Why is it so urgent, how can we rush back on the eighth day of the seventh month?" One of the generals questioned.
"Hey, the Queen Mother is so urgent, there must be something important, so don't ask about this." Chen Yaozuo frowned, and didn't intend to elaborate.
What followed was a series of personnel handovers, and Li Ce didn't care, just stood aside and listened, but he was thinking about what happened to Yu Xian'er.
"There is another thing, that is, the Yizhou flood, this flood was finally rescued in time, and it has not caused much damage, so it is better to hand over the Yizhou flood to Li Ce to be responsible." Chen Yaozuo said to that Lord He.
Then Lord He seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and he frowned and said, "How can a small commander do it?" Flooding is not child's play, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will cause a big disaster, so it's better to send an old and serious person. I have a man named Xu Shan, who is a commander, so I might as well send him. “
Chen Yaozuo smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, Xu Shan has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about Yizhou affairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to it for a while, and the problem of flooding is urgent." And Li Ce has already worked with me to manage the floods in Yizhou before, and he has made a lot of suggestions, and he knows a lot about the affairs of Yizhou, although he is only a commander, but he is in a hurry, and he can be allowed to temporarily take charge of Yizhou's affairs. Chen Yaozuo quickly rejected Lord He's suggestion, and once again proposed to let Li Ce be in charge of the Yizhou flood.
Li Ce was not easy to interject on the side, he didn't understand why Chen Yaozuo didn't care about anything else, but he had to send himself to this Yizhou flood.
Lord He, his face was embarrassed and he was indecisive.
Li Ce's body moved and wanted to stand up and speak, but he was dragged by a person next to him to the corner of his clothes, he was stunned, and quietly turned around, and found that it was Guan Yiqi who dragged him.
Guan Yiqi waved his hand lightly, signaling Li Ce not to speak, although Li Ce didn't understand Guan Yiqi's intentions, he knew that his master would never harm him, so he gently retreated.
Master He pondered for a while, and finally spoke again: "Hehe...... Since Lord Chen insisted, you don't think it's better to do this, so let the two of them go to Yizhou together to control the flood together, how about it? “
Chen Yaozuo was also stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect He Ruinian to make such a suggestion, as soon as he said this, he really couldn't oppose it again, so Chen Yaozuo had no choice but to nod and agree.
Everyone had left, and Chen Yaozuo left Li Ce alone.
"Come, Ce'er, there are no outsiders here, sit." Chen Yaozuo signaled that Li Ce didn't have to stand, he could see that Li Ce had wanted to sit down for a long time, but because so many people were present and everyone was standing, no matter how casual he was, he didn't dare to sit down in a grand manner.
"Do you know why today's teacher must fight with Lord He for the matter of Yizhou?" Chen Yaozuo said suddenly.
"I don't know." This is exactly what Li Ce wants to ask.
"Huh...... There's still a lot to learn about politics. Chen Yaozuo sighed first, and then said: The imperial court has always attached importance to natural disasters, and every time a natural disaster is a natural disaster, a powerful minister must be sent to provide relief, and every time a disaster relief returns, the minister who goes to the disaster relief will be promoted as long as he has merit, which is the foundation of his career. When Chen Yaozuo said this, he paused briefly and stared at Li Ce.
Li Ce suddenly realized, "oh", and nodded.
"The Yizhou flood can be said to be treated in a timely manner, and there is basically no catastrophe in the later stage, as long as it is handled well and completed on time, it is a great achievement. The first time he came, it was like taking this credit to his confidant, and he thought it was beautiful. Chen Yaozuo sneered disdainfully.
"However, He Ruinian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he actually came up with a method of co-governance, so that the teacher really can't refuse him anymore, after all, the teacher has to be transferred out of here, he is your direct boss, if I force him too much today, I'm afraid he will make things difficult for you in the future." Chen Yaozuo sighed a little, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to remove Li Ce from his position as a martial artist and let him advance to the rank with this merit, but he didn't want to go out of the fork halfway.
"Thank you, Master, Master Lao is worried about the apprentice." Li Ce finally understood Chen Yaozuo's good intentions, he was a little moved, he was really fortunate to meet Chen Yaozuo, even if the teacher was leaving, he would do his best to plan for himself.
"One more thing, alas...... He Ruinian, there was a gap with Guan Yiqi in the past, you persuade him to pay more attention. Chen Yaozuo frowned and sighed deeply.
"Oh, the old official has a grudge against this Lord He?" Li Ce was a little surprised.
"I have already told you about this matter before, you can persuade him more, He Ruinian will repay this person, I am afraid he will not give up." Chen Yaozuo interrupted Li Ce with a wave of his hand, he was going to leave tomorrow, and he really didn't have much time to explain the old things to him.
"There are a few old friends who want to say goodbye to the teacher, and your kid doesn't seem to be here, go ahead, go and get busy with your business." Chen Yaozuo waved his hand, and Li Ce hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Then I'll go first." After saying that, he ran away.
