Chapter 131: You're Not a Prince
"That's right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Li Jin touched his chin and smiled, "That's easy to do, just purchase it in the name of the division, whoever dares to pay a high price, tell them that the division will no longer be responsible for protecting them, the mob is very crazy, in case of grabbing someone's home, then I Li Jin has no choice but to say sympathy." ā
The soldiers were stunned, they didn't expect Li Jin to say this, and they didn't care about the identity of a nobleman at all.
"Adult, villain, this is the herald." The soldiers were happy in their hearts, firstly, because their worries had been solved, and secondly, because Li Jin, the division commander, was easy to contact, which was also very interesting.
Li Jin didn't come up with this by himself, but Lieshan told him, but he never thought about the hungry people in an entire state and province, and even if he took out all the money, it would not be enough for them to eat until autumn.
Well, the money in this treasure trove alone is enough for emergencies.
"I'm still in a daze, keep searching for me, I want Zhao Jie's Taishou Mansion not to even keep a copper coin." Li Jin saw that the soldiers were still standing around stupidly, and couldn't help kicking the people in front of him.
"Yes!" The soldiers didn't care about Li Jin kicking themselves at all, but were very happy, and after answering loudly, they ran to search.
The garden was almost three feet into the ground, and the floor of the room was all lifted, and even the hollow sound on the wall was not spared, and it was all smashed.
"Hahaha, that's what it looks like, you're welcome, and you don't have to save face for Zhao Jie."
When Li Jin was playing in the Taishou Mansion, the battle commanded by Qin Xi also began.
"I'm really disappointed, I thought there was a real fight." Qin Xi sat on top of the city, looking at the city guards fleeing everywhere and sighed.
Several staff officers who followed Qin Xi also smiled helplessly, for the sake of this battle, everyone had been studying for several days and nights, but now it seems that the other party has not even opened the posture.
"Soldiers are told not to disturb the people, except for the officials on the list." Qin Xi's order was originally left behind the battle, but now it seems that the battle is over.
A staff officer stepped forward, "The order has been given." ā
Not only Qin Xi couldn't understand why the other party was defeated so quickly, but even Zhao Jie couldn't figure it out, he didn't receive the secret letter from the second prince, he originally planned to escape, poor his plan was tonight, but Li Jin's action was a little faster than him.
"Waste, all waste." More than 10,000 city guards were all dispersed before they could not even be dragged for half an hour.
No matter how angry Zhao Jie was, the people who followed him were no longer afraid.
A few people looked at each other and pounced on each other. "Your Excellency, you are our life saver."
As he spoke, he stuffed a rag into Zhao Jie's mouth, and then tied it firmly.
The other people just watched, and they all knew that Zhao Jie was finished, and since Li Jin dared to deal with Zhao Jie blatantly, he was naturally not afraid of anything.
"My lord, my lord, the surrendered city guards have captured Zhao Jie, and they are now being sent to the Taishou Mansion." The soldier who reported the news became slower and slower, because the Taishou Mansion in front of him still had a little bit of the appearance of the Taishou Mansion, except for the main building, almost all of them were demolished.
Li Jin is still very satisfied with his masterpiece.
Five treasure troves, hundreds of small boxes hidden, in addition to gold bars and silver ingots, a large number of treasures made Li Jin very happy, secretly left some for himself, and the rest were packed and ready to be presented to His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhao Jie was tied up and brought to Li Jin, Zhao Jie was also surprised by the miserable appearance of his own mansion, this Li Jin is really bold and reckless, he dares to do anything.
"Zhang Liang, is the writing ready?" Li Jin ignored Zhao Jie.
Zhang Liang took out an announcement and read it, the more Li Jin listened to it, the more headache he felt, Zhang Liang wrote the announcement gorgeously enough, there were hundreds of words of nonsense alone.
"Stop, stop, replace it with mine, short, just say, His Majesty the Emperor loves the people, and ordered the head of Li Jinshi to kill Zhao Jie, this bastard, all the people will go home immediately, and the food and seeds that His Majesty the Emperor has given to you will be sent to everyone immediately."
Li Jin wanted to try his best to speak at a high level, but after all, his attainments in ancient literature were still too low.
However, Zhang Liang understood what Li Jin meant, and did not write it all according to Li Jin's original words, but changed it to a gorgeous and easy-to-understand language, and then ordered the clerical officer to copy it and send it to the entire state and province.
In just three days, the news of Dong Binh Province spread throughout half the country.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, go on." The emperor sat directly on the steps in front of the throne, and specially ordered people to bring chairs to the two foreign prime ministers on the left and right, of course the two did not dare to sit down, they both sat on the ground, and told the emperor about Li Jin's madness in Dongping Province.
Of course, in order to please the emperor, some of them are exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that Li Jin and the mob surrounded several large manor owners, asking to buy grain, and the grain seeds, the price is according to the price Li Jin boy said, if the big manor owner does not agree, Li Jin plans to rob it, and as a result, it will take a few days to buy enough grain for the people of Dongping Province to eat through the winter, and there is enough grain to ensure the autumn harvest."
After the right prime minister finished, Shen Wannian, the left prime minister, also added, "Every village that received food, Lord Li said that it was rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, which made many nobles dare not have opinions, and the people all shouted Your Majesty's mercy." ā
The emperor smiled slightly, "What about the price of the grain purchased." ā
"Compared with the price in the market, it is the same as the price of grain in a good harvest year." Jatu didn't know why the emperor asked like this, but he answered truthfully.
"Well, since I have been praised by the people, I also have to do something, give a little reward to the nobles who sell grain, and you can do these things."
"Yes! Your Majesty. Right Prime Minister Jia Tu and Left Prime Minister Shen Wannian responded at the same time.
After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately became happy again, "Keep talking, what other story does Li Jin have to tell." ā
Huangfu Nazha, who also likes to listen to stories, asked the attendants and maids to inquire more about the stories of Li Jin that are spread among the people.
And there is another person who cares very much, and that is Huangfu Nayue. Although Li Jin was not by his side, he was really happy for him when he heard the good name spread by his friends, so he also sent someone to inquire.
Li Jin's name began to circulate in the country with his story, and the nobles called Li Jin a hooligan, but the people liked Li Jin very much.
The poet also vigorously wrote poems about Li Jin, which were circulated among the people.
And Li Jin didn't care about that, and locked Zhao Jie up secretly, of course, he wouldn't forget to ask someone to step on a few feet to vent his anger.
Everyone originally thought that Li Jin was joking, but they didn't expect that Li Jin really killed Zhao Jie, and he could really step on Zhao Jie a few times, so they naturally felt that although Young Master Li Jin was naughty, he was indeed a person who kept his promise to the people.
The leather whip hit Zhao Jie frantically, but Li Jin was laughing.
"Zhao Jie, you bastard, do you remember the first time you met me in Kyoto with the young master? Hum! Li Jin scolded while wielding the whip in his hand even harder.
Qin Xi was really afraid that Li Jin would kill Zhao Jie, so he hurriedly came over and snatched the whip, "Aren't we going back to the camp?" When to go. ā
"No, Zhang Qi said that this guy is a security problem, why don't you let me leave the barracks alone, it's not appropriate to run secretly, I plan to set off to return to the imperial capital now." Li Jin's strength was not as strong as Qin Xi's, so he had to let the whip be snatched away, and then kicked Zhao Jie a few more times before leaving.
The only main hall of Taishou Mansion that remained unchanged was already full of people, with officers from Li Jin's division on the left and officials from the former Dongping Province on the right.
The officers were in high spirits and full of spirit, and His Majesty the Emperor's verbal commendation order had arrived, and a letter was sent to Li Jinmi, as well as advice on the handling of Dongping Province, while the officials looked gloomy and uneasy about their unknown fate.
"Ahem!" Li Jin coughed, which he learned from Jia Tu, because he saw that when Chao Youxiang always coughed lightly when he appeared on the stage, he came to make others notice him.
"See Commander Li Jinshi." Officials on both sides saluted Li Jin in their own different ways.
Zhang Qi stood beside Li Jin and said softly: "Report to the division leader, all the people have arrived." ā
Li Jin nodded, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Everyone, His Majesty the Emperor, this time Zhao Jie's tyranny caused the people to suffer, and the officials in Dongping Province will not be held accountable for the time being, but this riot still has a great impact on Dongping Province. ā
After Li Jin finished speaking, there was not even a sound below, it should be said that the officials of Dongping Province were all thinking about their brains at this time, guessing the meaning of this order.
Li Jin waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Don't go to work yet, what's the point here." ā
The provincial officials came back to their senses at this time, and they all ran away with a sigh.
"Let's go back to the imperial capital, walk slowly with the flag, hahaha......." Li Jin laughed, and the officers who remained in the main hall also laughed, no one thought about the right or wrong handling of this incident, in short, it was the emperor's commendation and the people's praise, this is already a good result.
"Yes!" The officer was also a little excited.
When the army set off, Li Jin burned the emperor's secret letter with fire, which was just a blank piece of paper, but fortunately, Li Jin had a good staff officer, so he could say what he just said.
At this time in the imperial capital, the news of Li Jin's army returning to the dynasty had been transmitted.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Zhao Jie is already an outcast, it is almost impossible to save him, even if it is pointless to kill him, but Li Jinzheng is favored by His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, please think twice."
The second prince, Huangfu Naqian, was walking back and forth in the room, and several wine glasses were broken.
"Waste, it's all waste." Huang Fu scolded humbly, and broke the wine glass in his hand again, and a maid hurriedly came to clean it and serve a new one.
"Come on, let me invite Princess Wenping, this prince is going to pick up the head of Li Jinshi with the princess." Huangfu Naqian finally calmed down, and the staff officers knew that this was the most correct thing to do now, and someone would immediately be in charge of passing the word.
The staff officers also followed behind and sang the praises of the second prince: "His Royal Highness the second prince is wise, and it is the best policy to find Princess Wenping." ā
Huangfu Naqian took a sip of wine proudly, and was very useful for the praise of his subordinates.
In the palace of Huangfu Nayue, several close ministers were also discussing with him.
"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you should go and win over Li Jin, so that you can have more status in the court."
But Huangfu Nayue disagreed with the ministers' advice, "I don't want to be the emperor, besides, there is a big brother, as long as he lives in peace, Li Jin, I believe he will also make the right choice." ā
Several ministers don't quite understand the attitude of Huangfu Nayue, but for a long time, they have been accustomed to the kindness and loyalty of the Seven Princes, and it is precisely because of this that they are willing to follow the Seven Princes, who are not very powerful.
"Your Highness!" A minister wanted to say something, but Huangfu Nayue stopped him, "I want to go out for a walk, I said that I don't want to compete with my eldest brother for the throne." ā
After Huangfu Nayue finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and then left.
Several ministers were thinking about the same thing at this time, the seventh prince was unwilling to compete with the crown prince for the throne, but the crown prince and the second prince would not think like this, and would do everything possible to deal with the seventh prince.
Huangfu Nayue didn't want to think so much, and rode his horse on a gallop on the plains outside the imperial capital. The throne, why is it in the emperor's house, the family affection between brothers is so weak, recalling that since the first day of participating in political affairs, the eldest brother and the second brother have been guarding against themselves everywhere.
"Stop! Who dares to break into the marching formation. More than a dozen cavalrymen stood in front of Huangfu Nayue, it was Li Jinhui's troops, and the patrolmen would naturally block when they saw someone rushing towards the army on horseback.
Huangfu Nayue was stunned for a moment, he was too absorbed in what he thought just now, he knew the rules of the country, even if he was the prince, trespassing on the army was a serious crime, and immediately took out his royal badge, "I am the prince of Nayue, this is the army of the head of Li Jinshi?" ā
Of course, the soldiers recognized the royal badge, and after saluting, they replied: "If you return to Your Highness, we are the subordinates of the head of Li Jinshi." ā
"Well, I want to see the head of Li Jinshi and help me pass the word."
Several horsemen flew away, and the army quickly stopped.
"Report to the commander, there is a prince in front of the army who asks to see you."
"The Prince? It's boring to come to see me alone, I want to go back to bed. Li Jin complained.
It's no wonder that the soldiers didn't make it clear, Li Jin thought that he had captured Zhao Jie, a confidant of the second prince, and it would be the second prince Huang Fu Naqian who came to see him at this time.
Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "My lord, His Royal Highness the prince can't be seen, otherwise he will ......." ā
Li Jin impatiently stopped Zhang Liang, "Okay...... Okay, I see, I'll go see him. ā
Li Jin got off the horse, got on the horse, and walked quickly towards the emperor not far away.
As the two approached, they saw each other clearly.
"Nayue ......"
"Lee Jin ......"
The two best friends hugged each other tightly.
"Wait a minute, let's say okay first, you are my good brother Huangfu Nayue, not the prince, I won't give you a salute." Li Jin said with his mouth raised.
Huangfu Nayue laughed: "Good brother, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." ā
Huangfu Nayue punched Li Jin in the shoulder, Li Jin immediately punched back, and the two walked towards the carriage in a fight.
Everyone who could see Li Jin and Huangfu Nayue was dumbfounded, and they were even fighting with His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Jin was really extraordinary.
"I've seen Your Highness!" Yu Hongxue also knew that Li Jin was a good brother, and bowed respectfully.
"Let's go, let's go to my house tonight, we're going to have a good time." Huangfu Nayue and Li Jin held hands and got into the carriage.
Li Jin waved his hand, "The army will go back to the garrison directly, Zhang Qi will give orders to the military headquarters on my behalf, I will leave first." (To be continued.) )
