Lu Yue kicked the prince: "It's cheap Zheng Ming again, let's go back." ”

Wang Cai killed twenty or thirty people with one horse, and immediately became the envy of a group of soldiers. Even Lu Yue said sourly: "Brother Wang, go back and have a treat." I waited for such a group of people to come, and I actually watched you perform alone. ”

The sullenness accumulated in Wang Cai's heart was almost out, and when he heard Lu Yue say this, he immediately raised his head and laughed: "No problem, there is one that is not worth it tonight, you can choose any restaurant in Jinyang City, and you can order it when you go in." Although he is just a horseman, he has some furniture, and a mere banquet is nothing. ”

He was telling the truth, although he didn't have much power in the family, he still had a lot of money. And you can get a lot of good horses in private, at least the Wang brothers are already a first-class family in Jinyang City. But many times, it is a very sad thing to eat and wait for death when you have no ability. For example, Wang Cai wanted to gallop on the battlefield ten years ago, but after staying in the racecourse for ten years, the blood on his body has long been polished.

When they returned to the city, the prince had already woken up. But still didn't say anything.

Lu Yue sighed: "Many people don't cry when they don't see the coffin, you are so hard-mouthed, I hope you don't die." ”

The prince said proudly: "Even if you Tang Emperor sees so-and-so, you don't dare to speak like this, you really want to provoke ......"

Lu Yue slapped him on the head: "Provoke your uncle!" Do you really think it's a big shot? What Your Majesty can't control, we'll take care of. Maybe your identity is good for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is far away in Luoyang, so you should first think about whether you will change your clothes when you pee your pants later. ”

The corpses in the courtyard of the Wang family were all collected and cremated. The weather is so hot that one careless mistake can cause a plague. Several servants in the city have already examined the corpses, and they have all been cut off by sharp limbs, then disemboweled, and then stabbed them when they are dying.

Li Yi didn't have any expression on his face after hearing this, but asked people to guard the courtyard. He felt that there were still secrets in this yard that had not been dug up. At least the situation of the Wang family raising some grassland people is very strange.

When the grassland prince was brought into the big tent, Li Yi and Gao Shi were discussing the arrangements for other families in the city. Those families have collusion with the Wang family, but it is not deep. A lot of the time, it's a wall-to-wall plant. The court and the royal family were not offended, and both sides curried favor.

Li Yi looked at the grassland prince, and after asking a few words, the prince was so angry that he didn't cooperate at all, and didn't say anything when he asked. Li Yi waved his hand tastelessly: "Give it to Zheng Ming, the old man doesn't have time to spend on this person." ”

Now Li Yi is more interested in Wang Cai, the unknown leader of the horse farm, who actually picked twenty or thirty grassland people who are famous for their riding and fighting with one man and one horse. Although Wang Cai took the lead in the raid, twenty or thirty grassland masters were not so easy to clean up, and he was recognized by Li Yi: "Wang Cai, the military academy is now eager to recruit talents, I wonder if you intend to go to the military academy to teach as a teacher?" Your official position is still there, but it will be under the control of the military academy until you take up another position in the future. ”

When Wang Cai heard this, he couldn't help but be excited: "Old general, is you really qualified to go to the military academy for training?" ”

Li Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no joke in the army, and the old man is naturally telling the truth." The military academy is now a cavalry general, Lu Yue is alone, and he is a little thin, so the old man has the cheekiness to invite you to the military academy. If you don't agree, the old man has no choice but to send a message to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to give you a holy decree. ”

Wang Cai was so happy that his mouth opened open: "Promise to agree, I have been envious of the military academy these days." Being able to work with so many good people in there, I would agree even if I didn't want to pay for it! ”

Wang De on the side was also very happy. His younger brother had been depressed at the horse farm for ten years, and now he was finally getting his due. But what about yourself? Where do I go from here?

At this time, Li Yi seemed to have guessed Wang De's thoughts, and said to Wang De with a smile: "The old man originally wanted you to go to the military academy, but your brother is a complete waste of talent by putting it here." That's why Wang Cai went to the military academy, you stayed in Jinyang, and you had to take over the city defense in a short time. After all the new officers are in office, you can decide for yourself whether to go to the military academy or to be an officer on one side. No one interferes with you this time, think about it yourself. ”

Wang De looked at Li Yi in disbelief: "Can you still stay in Jinyang?" ”

Li Yi smiled: "At least you need to stay here to stabilize the situation before Jinyang is stable, and after this period of time, Your Majesty should have new arrangements, but everything depends on your own wishes." Your Majesty's thoughts, I can't guess anyone, maybe I will punish you, you have refused the dispatch of the imperial court several times before, and this time it is inevitable that someone will turn this matter over. But if you are demoted, the old man will transfer you to a military school. Regarding the defense of the city, the military academy still lacks a teaching course. ”

Wang De arched his hand and said: "I am willing to remove my official position and go to the military academy to be a small soldier!" ”

Li Yi waved his hand: "You can't be a soldier." Military academies are very strict in recruitment, and there are strict restrictions on age and physical condition. I may withdraw in a few days, you command the army in the city, and when Jinyang is stabilized, everything will naturally be clear. This time, your brother has made a great contribution, and the old man will not sit idly by. Now Luoyang is in turmoil, so the old man won't stay long. ”

In Luoyang City, Liu Hao is a little busy now. He and Ziyang Zhenren got into the carriage and hurried to Zhang Jiazhen's house, only before the eunuch came to report that Zhang Jiazhen was about to die, and he had something to say to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao doesn't know when Zhang Jiazhen died of illness in history, but it shouldn't be so early. It was all caused by Li Mao's poisoning, although everyone knows this, but who can really stand up and accuse a prince of not? The witness is also dead, and now it is unreasonable to convict a prince of guilt with only a few words. Don't forget, now is the time when Concubine Wu Hui is being favored.

Liu Hao has not seen Zhang Jiazhen since he was driven away by Zhang Jiazhen's son last time. Although he will send someone to send gifts or something, Zhang Jiazhen's son doesn't even give his uncle Ziyang Zhenren's face, Liu Hao really doesn't want to come over. If it weren't for Zhang Jiazhen's help to Liu Hao, with his son's attitude of rushing people at that time, Ziyang Zhenren would not have swallowed this breath. The old guy is not a good person to get along with.

Besides, as Liu Hao's official position gets bigger and bigger, he needs to be more cautious in his words and deeds. Liu Hao basically has no dealings with officials in the DPRK and China. When people send people to give gifts, Baguio will arrange for someone to prepare a gift of equal value, which will not take advantage of it and will not leave any handles. Liu Hao doesn't have much contact with Li Jie now, he has military power in his hands, and his relationship with Li Jie is too sensitive, which is not a good thing for either of them.

When I arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Jiazhen's youngest son was waiting at the gate. After Zhang Jiazhen became seriously ill, several of his sons rushed back from other places one after another. Liu Zhicai has never seen this little son, but he has more brains than last time.

A few people didn't say a few words, Liu Zhicai motioned to this person to lead the way, and while Zhang Jiazhen still had a breath, Liu Zhicai wanted to know what Zhang Jiazhen was going to say.

Zhang Jiazhen is now so thin that she can barely see her human form.

When Liu Hao arrived at the bed, he squeezed away the other sons in front of the bed, took Zhang Jiazhen's hand and said, "Zhang Gong, I am Liu Hao, does Zhang Gong still remember me?" ”

Zhang Jiazhen opened his eyes hard. Said angrily: "You...... Brat...... Here it comes? ”

Liu Hao didn't expect this old man to remember himself when he was dying, and immediately said: "Coming, coming!" Let's take a look at Zhang Gong, I want to get married at the end of the year, and I still need Zhang Gong to support me on the scene. ”

Zhang Jiazhen wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh: "You...... Brat...... Still...... It's still ...... Don't care, old man...... No way...... Wait, can't wait...... Less than ...... Drink...... Yours...... Joy ...... wine"

Liu Hao's tears came down unconsciously. He said to Zhang Jiazhen: "Gong Zhang, don't think about it, Your Majesty is still waiting for you to continue to serve the country." Now that the situation is in crisis, Zhang Gong can't let it go. ”

Zhang Jiazhen gasped for a while: "Zhicai, you...... Don't you want ...... Failed His Majesty...... His Majesty's ...... Cultivated...... Be kind to ...... Commoners! ”

Liu Hao nodded and said: "Don't worry, Gong Zhang, I will definitely not live up to Gong Zhang's instructions, no matter when, I will treat the people well." ”

Zhang Jiazhen's youngest son saw that Zhang Jiazhen was out of breath now, so he whispered to Liu Hao to leave the room first. Let you see the old man for the last time, not let you end his life. However, Liu Hao knew that Zhang Jiazhen's life had reached the time when the lamp ran out, and it was difficult to say whether she could survive tonight.

Liu Hao stood in the courtyard where he had listened to Zhang Jiazhen's teachings, and couldn't help but think that this old man had taught himself the way to be an official more than once. Now that I think about it, it's like yesterday. When Zhang Jiazhen came to Luoyang, Ziyang Zhenren was not there, and it was he who conspired several times to keep Liu Hao alive. This wise old man has protected what he thinks is a talent in his own way. Even Li Hong has been instructed by him.

Now the old man is about to pass away, and Liu Haokong's knowledge of the afterlife can't help anything. He was a little annoyed with himself, why wasn't he a medical professional? Maybe he can save Zhang Jiazhen's life, and the worst thing can let him live for a few more years.

Ziyang Zhenren patted Liu Hao's shoulder and said, "Everyone will have this day." Dust to dust, don't be too sad. The natural avenue is like this, everything is under the heavenly path. Zhang Jiazhen is right, treat the people well, only in this way will your official fortune always be prosperous, and you will not be attacked all the time. You are an official of Sipin, and you also have military power in your hands, so if you don't come, Zhang Jiazhen will understand, don't blame yourself anymore. ”

Liu Hao sighed: "Being kind to the people is easier said than done. ”
