In this case, of course, the officers would understand Li Jin, Li Jin turned the carriage around, and only took Qin Xi, Yu Hongxue and Huangfu Nayue back to the imperial capital from the other direction. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are rules for the army to return to the emperor, the victorious army must enter the imperial capital from due south, and it must start to turn due south from twenty kilometers outside the imperial capital wall, and Dongping Province is due east of Kyoto, so Li Jin can return to the imperial capital by going straight.

The crown prince, the second prince and Princess Wenping were waiting at the welcoming platform outside the imperial capital, and saw the army appear to greet them.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Su, and His Royal Highness the Princess." Zhang Qi, as the deputy division commander, came out on behalf of Li Jin.

Although Li Jin killed Huangfu Naqian's cronies, which made him very unhappy, in order to win the throne, Huangfu Naqian had to swallow this breath first.

"What about Commander Li Jinshi?" The prince asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the head of the Li Jinshi has important things to do, so he did not return with the army, and the lower officials should tell the head of the Li Jinshi to go to the palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to thank him."

Zhang Qi is also a person who has been in the officialdom for so many years, and when he saw the expressions between Li Jin and Huangfu Nayue, he understood that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and naturally he would not explain the relationship between Li Jin and Huangfu Nayue at this time.

"Humph!" The prince snorted coldly, and was about to have a seizure, but the staff officer hurriedly looked at him desperately, and the prince said: "You have worked hard, go back to the camp early to rest, and ask me for your reward tomorrow morning." ”

"Prince Xie."

Zhang Qi's expression was as usual, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

The business was over, the prince left with a bad face, and Huangfu Nazha ran over to ask Li Jin's whereabouts, Zhang Qi just said that he didn't know, and Huangfu Nazha left with a disappointed face.

"I'm so angry, this dead Li Jin, bad Li Jin, pervert Li Jin." Huangfu Nazha scolded non-stop along the way.

The maid said on the side: "Her Royal Highness the princess, do you want to go to the palace of the prince Nayue, so as to relax." "The maid knows that Huangfu Nazha's closest person is Huangfu Nayue.

Huangfu Nazha nodded, still scolding.

When the guards in Huangfu Nayue's mansion saw that the terrible and unreasonable princess had come out, they all tried to keep their distance, and even didn't want the princess to see themselves, so Huangfu Nazha rushed into Huangfu Nayue's room all the way.

At this time, Li Jin was sitting in the center of the table with a big smile, eating a lot, while exaggerating the story of his time in Dongping in the past few days, while Huangfu Nayue climbed on the edge of the fireplace and asked Li Jin to repeat a certain detail from time to time.

"Miss me Li Jin......" Li Jin was about to tell the story of extorting grain from bad merchants in Dongping Province when he suddenly saw an angry face, and it was so familiar. Yikes! Li Jin turned over and jumped off the table with a scream, and put on a posture ready to fight.

Huangfu Nazha didn't care about Huangfu Nayue's presence, and pounced on Li Jin's ears.

"Dead Li Jin, stinky Li Jin, people are still picking you up at Yingjuntai, but you are playing here, you stop for me, let me beat you a few times to get angry." Huangfu Nazha chased Li Jin and ran around the table.

Li Jin grabbed Huangfu Nayue from the ground and blocked it in front of him, "Don't do it, I brought you a gift, there is a gift, a very good gift." ”

As Li Jin spoke, he took out a necklace from his arms, of course, from Zhao Jie's treasure house.

"It's beautiful! No, I'm going to search again, you must still have it. Huangfu Nazha began to reach out to grab Li Jin again.

The rumors about Li Jin and Huangfu Nazha are no secret in the upper class society of the imperial capital, and Huangfu Nayue has a posture with his hands on his chest that has nothing to do with me, and he is very happy to see the two fighting.

"Na Yue, you guy, you still say it's a brother, Nazha is your sister, you don't care." As soon as Li Jin's words fell, he heard the voice of the emperor Nazha Jiao say: "Brother Nayue, you love me the most, help me Li Jin catch it." ”

Huangfu Nayue jumped back, leaning on the fireplace with an expression of love, obviously neither side helped, and finally, Li Jin and Huangfu Nazha were tired and climbed into the carpet in front of the fireplace panting.

Huangfu Nayue only sat between the two at this time.

"Li Jin, did you bring me a gift?" Huangfu Nayue threw a fruit to each of them.

Li Jin took a bite of the fruit before saying: "It's not that I didn't know where you ran to before, but I was thinking about you, you say, I will give you whatever you want, as long as I have it." ”

"Give me a wildebeest, I heard you gave one to your eldest brother." Huangfu Nayue has practiced martial arts since childhood, and the wildebeest is a mount that every knight will like when he sees it.

"One horse is too stingy, ten horses and eight horses are not a problem." Li Jin said disdainfully.

This time, Huang Fu Nayue was in a daze, wildebeest, it is not so simple for barbarians living in the wilderness to tame a horse, it is so easy to say.

"I now have nearly two thousand wildebeests, and I plan to get a knight order full of wildebeests, and I have thought of a name, called the Golden Eagle Knights." Li Jin said proudly.

"It's a big deal, it's more magnificent than the royal family, two thousand wildebeest knights, then I'm going to pick a few more, where to keep them."

Li Jin pointed to Huangfu Nazha, "She has been there, and that is my secret camp." ”

As soon as Huangfu Nazha heard that he mentioned himself, his spirit immediately came, "Brother Huangfu Nayue, I know, I have been there, it is beautiful, the mountains are particularly high, all above the clouds, and there is snow, but under the clouds are all green trees, there is a lake at the foot of the mountain, the water is clear and you can see the fish at the bottom of the lake, there is a special spring on both sides of the foot of the mountain, one is very cold ice water, and the other is hot water, great, it is in the mountains one hundred kilometers east of Yishui County." ”

Huangfu Nayue nodded slightly when he heard this, "Li Jin, with this exploit, you can rightfully seal this mountain and turn it into your own private territory, Yishui County is a small city, and the earl level is qualified." ”

"Naza, it's been a long time since my brother has eaten the dim sum you made himself, let's get some for my brother and Li Jin." Huangfu Nayue suddenly said to Huangfu Naza.

Huangfu Nazha stood up, "Okay, but if you want to go to Li Jin's village, you must also take Nazha there." ”

"Okay, let's go get some snacks."

Huangfu Nayue tricked Huangfu Nazha out of the room, and then said to Li Jin: "The eldest brother and the second brother want to be the emperor, and now they regard me as a thorn in the side, you are my good brother, for the sake of safety, you still leave the imperial capital, I don't want to compete with the eldest brother for the throne, when he becomes the emperor, I will accompany you to seclusion!" ”

"You tell him directly, it's not okay to say that you are not the emperor."

Huangfu Nayue shook his head, he couldn't explain the complexity of the royal family to Li Jin, and he was even more worried about Li Jin.

"Good brother, I listen to you, you can do whatever you think is good."

Although Li Jin and Huangfu Nayue are brothers, they did not say anything about Li Jiannan's murder, this is not a distrust of Huangfu Nayue, but this is really impossible to say.

Huangfu Nayue nodded solemnly, opened the door of the room, and whispered a few words to the guards outside the door.

When Huangfu Nazha brought snacks, the guards came to the room with several ministers who were close to Huangfu Nayue.

Several ministers entered the door later, and they saw Li Jin and Huangfu Nayue sitting shoulder to shoulder in front of the fireplace, and even more unceremoniously eating the snacks on the plate held by Huangfu Naza.

"See ......."

Several ministers were about to salute, but Li Jin jumped up, "Don't ...... Don't, there is no salute in this room, and you don't have to care about the status and title, Li Jin looked at a few old guys, and he was afraid of being polite, and several ministers saw Huangfu Nayue nodded, and also sat cross-legged on the carpet.

Li Jin handed over the plate in Huangfu Nazha's hand, "Taste it, this is Princess Wenping's craftsmanship, and the taste is first-class." ”

Huangfu Nazha listened to Mei Zizi, and several ministers were still a little uncomfortable, and each carefully picked up a small piece.

"Li Jin is my good brother, we met a few years ago, and we are brothers who have formed a blood alliance." The blood alliance that Huangfu Nayue specially emphasized.

All the ministers know that the Blood Pact is the highest kind of covenant, and there are three kinds of Blood Pact.

Huangfu Nayue stretched out his palm, and a faint scar appeared in front of the eyes of several ministers on his palm, and Li Jin also stretched out his hand, which was also a scar.

"I want Li Jin to become the lord of Corona. The two hundred kilometers of forest to the east will also be given to him. Huangfu Nayue directly explained his intention to find several ministers.

One of the ministers touched his chin: "The old minister thinks there is no problem, and I see that the right minister is also very optimistic about Lord Li, and I like him very much, so this topic will definitely pass, but ......" The minister looked at Princess Nazha and did not continue.

Huangfu Nayue was so smart that he immediately understood that he was afraid of the second prince's opposition.

"Naza, you have to promise not to spread the news about me and Li Jin, including the eldest brother and the second brother and the father, otherwise the father may be angry."

Huangfu Nazha glanced at Huangfu Nayue with disdain, "Cut, you all treat me as a child, the eldest brother and the second brother regard you as a thorn in the side, you are an obstacle for them to become the emperor, and these old guys want to push you to be the emperor, I don't care about your affairs, whoever loves to be the emperor should be." ”

Huangfu Nazha has always been known for being rude, unreasonable is her patent, in addition to liking to play, never cared about other things, everyone thought that Huangfu Nazha was just a simple little girl, but Huangfu Nazha's words made the people present look at Huangfu Nazha with admiration.

"Are you afraid that the eldest brother and the second brother will find out about the relationship between Brother Jin and you, and it will hurt my Brother Jin, don't worry, my Brother Jin will be protected by me." Huangfu Nazha pounced on Li Jin and hugged Li Jin tightly.

"Loosen up, I'm out of breath, I'm going to die." Li Jin rolled his eyes and lay on the ground, and Huangfu Nazha grabbed Li Jin's body violently.

Huangfu Nayue and several ministers all smiled, and things would be much easier now.

Late at night, Li Jin secretly left Huangfu Nayue Mansion and spent the night in Yuying's Chamber of Commerce, and then sent someone to inform Zhang Qi to meet outside the palace tomorrow morning.

"I've seen the right phase!" Li Jin ran to the palace early in the morning, and happened to meet Jia Tu, who came to the early court, and happily greeted him.

"No need to be polite, Li Jin boy, you are beautiful, I heard last night that you beat Dongping Zhao Jie half to death."

Li Jin was a little embarrassed, "That guy is so bad, I can't help but beat it, I have a gift for you." Li Jin asked Yu Hongxue to take out a brocade box from the carriage.

Jia Tu opened it first and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Li Jin boy, you are lucky, this is a good thing, a wine jug made of crystal, and a wine jug made of a huge animal bone, all of which were made by a master craftsman hundreds of years ago, these two wine jugs are the most precious wine jugs today." ”

"Huh!? I didn't expect this flask to be so precious, I thought it was just pretty, and the other flask made of animal bones was not as pretty. Li Jin touched his head and said.

"Have you ever seen that flask made of animal bones?" Jatu was a little excited.

Li Jin gave a look, and Yu Hongxue took out another wine jug.

"The old man gave me his wine jug as a token, this beast bone wine jug was originally intended to be given to the old man, but I don't know when I will be able to see the old man again, or I will keep this with you first." Li Jin opened the brocade box as he spoke.

After a long time, Jatu said, "That's right, these two are all genuine." ”

Only then did Jia Tu remember and ask, "What kind of character is the old man who gave you the wine jug as a token?" ”

Speaking of the old man, Li Jin immediately became energetic, "The old man is an old rascal and loves to drink, but he is super powerful in martial arts and knows a lot of things, you must meet him when you have the opportunity, otherwise it will be a pity...... It's just that I don't know where he is now. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jin's expression fell, the old man he said was Chen Chuchu's father Chen Xiaofeng, Li Jin didn't understand that since Chen Xiaofeng was not dead, he had been hiding from him.

Jia Tu also sensed that Li Jin's mood was wrong, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Boy Li Jin, this time you went to Dongping to quell the rebellion and made a great contribution, have you thought about what reward you want?"

"I want a fief in Yishui County, including a forest two kilometers east of Yishui County." Li Jin didn't hesitate at all, so he said what he wanted.

Seeing Li Jin's innocent and straightforward appearance, Jia Tu couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, no problem, I'll help you talk about it later."

"Not really!? Deal. ”

"It's a deal."

Li Jin didn't expect this matter to be so simple here in Jiatu, and he struggled all night last night about it.

Jia Tu laughed and walked into the palace, Li Jin could not enter the palace directly because he was now a military official, and could only wait for the emperor's announcement.

Above the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Jin should be rewarded, the riot in Dongping Province was resolved in a way with the least casualties, many people sang praises for His Majesty's kindness, and Zhao Jie's guilt is conclusive, and several city lords have written to declare." Right Prime Minister Jatu was the first to stand up and speak, which surprised many.

The emperor also had the heart to reward Li Jin, smiled and nodded, and gestured for Jia Tu to continue.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Jin will be crowned as a third-class earl, and his military position will still be preserved, and a fief will be arranged in his hometown. I have asked people to survey the specific place, there is an inaccessible forest 100 kilometers east of Yishui County, where many thieves used to gather, since Li Jin served as the commander of Yishui County, the thieves were cleared, and now the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and after giving this place to Li Jin, it is just for him to help His Majesty guard the territory. ”

After Jia Tu finished speaking, the people of the second prince's faction couldn't figure it out, this was more than he originally requested, and the strangest thing was why the fief was set in Yishui County.

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

Although everyone has doubts, but now is not the time to offend Li Jin, the crown prince and the second prince are now fighting equally, if either side adds a small chip, it is likely that this side will win, and Li Jin is this bargaining chip.

Therefore, after the ministers listened to Jia Tu's suggestion, the crown prince and the second prince immediately took this opportunity to speak, which on the surface seemed to be a stammering minister.

The emperor looked at the ministers who were bent down below for a while, and then named the crown prince and the second prince.

"Prince, Prince Su, what do you two think about this matter?"

The two secretly glanced at each other in private, and said in unison: "Erchen seconded it." ”

How could the emperor not understand the Tao, he took a sip of tea slowly, cleared his throat, and continued: "Li Jin did a good job in quelling the rebellion this time, but there are also many problems, indicating that he is still too young, so let's cancel his original official position as a squire, retain his military position, and give him the title to a viscount, as for the back cover, just do what the right prime minister said." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, all the ministers immediately reacted and said neatly: "Your Majesty Shengming! (To be continued.) )
