Chapter 549: Good intentions

After chatting with Zhao Xinyue, Li Yuntian learned that Zhao Xinyue had gone to the capital since the second year of Xuande, and even disguised herself as a man and was admitted to the Mingxin Museum, and after two years of study, she stood out among the students and became a reporter of "Mingxin Daily" with her outstanding ability.

"Ming Xin Pao" has already become an indispensable part of the lives of the people in the capital, whether it is a peddler or a dignitary, every day must read or listen to the news in "Ming Xin Pao".

Not only in Beijing, "Ming Xin Bao" has set up branches in the 14 provinces of Daming, Beijing and Beijing, and is very popular in the local area.

It is worth mentioning that although "Ming Xin Pao" is a non-governmental organization, it must be managed by the Jiangwutang, and the news published in the newspaper must be supervised by the Jiangwutang.

Therefore, the reporters of "Ming Xin Pao" must first obtain a press card issued by Jiangwutang, and secondly, they must be responsible for the news they distribute.

With a press card stamped with the seal of the martial arts hall, you can enter and exit the yamen of the major ministries and courtyards in the capital, and conduct interviews with the officials of the yamen of the major ministries and academies, so that the people can better understand the latest trends of the yamen of those ministries and courtyards in the capital.

Zhao Xinyue was one of the first people to get a press card, and she was very fortunate to have interviewed the princes and ministers of the capital and the officials of various ministries and courts, and is now the most famous reporter in the "Ming Xin Pao".

Originally, Zhao Xinyue was busy with her own affairs in the capital in an orderly manner, and received a letter from home half a month ago, saying that Zhao Zeen was seriously ill and bedridden, and she was anxious when she heard it, Zhao Zeen loved her the most since she was a child, so she asked Qi Fu, the director of the Mingxin Pavilion, for leave, and rushed back in a hurry.

But when she got home, she knew that Zhao Zeen was in good health, in good spirits, and not sick, and asked her to come back to tell her about her family.

Counting it up, Zhao Xinyue has already passed the number of twenty-nine, and staying for another year will be two decades, in ancient times, a woman would have been married at this age, and if she was still in the boudoir at the age of twenty, she would be ridiculed.

Although Zhao Xinyue didn't worry about her marriage, Zhao Zeen had to worry about her, a girl's family pretended to be a man all day long and showed up outside, what kind of system.

Zhao Xinyue refused to obey the marriage arranged by Zhao Zeen, since Hong Xi met Li Yuntian in the first year, she secretly agreed, so she went to the capital and was admitted to the Mingyue Pavilion without hesitation, how could she give up halfway and marry someone else?

Zhao Zeen naturally knew Zhao Xinyue's thoughts, and when Zhao Xinyue was noisily about returning to the capital, he only whispered a word in Zhao Xinyue's ear, which made Zhao Xinyue quiet in an instant, and her cheeks became rosy, full of the shyness of her little daughter.

Then, Zhao Zeen waved his hand to the people in the room, and the people retreated one after another, leaving only him and Zhao Xinyue inside.

Zhao Zeen's previous sentence was very simple, asking Zhao Xinyue if she still wanted to marry Li Yuntian, this sentence undoubtedly hit Zhao Xinyue's heart, making Zhao Xinyue flustered and immediately confused.

After everyone left the room, Zhao Zeen told Zhao Xinyue that Li Yuntian would soon go south to attack the Lianghuai Salt Road, and let Zhao Xinyue go with Li Yuntian to help him, and it was also a good opportunity to get close to Li Yuntian, otherwise when would Zhao Xinyue wait like this to see Li Yuntian, who was busy with official business, and when would the relationship with Li Yuntian make progress.

After all, Zhao Zeen has been an official in Jinan Mansion for twenty or thirty years, and he is still relatively sensitive to some movements in the Ming officialdom, and after learning that Li Yuntian sent people to Jiangnan to arrest Zhang Gui, a salt merchant who had bribed the Imperial Procuratorate to supervise Yushi Niu Fei, he was keenly aware that something might happen to the Lianghuai Salt Road.

Others may not know Li Yuntian, but Zhao Zeen has dealt with Li Yuntian and knows that Li Yuntian is not the kind of person who has no purpose, and a small shopkeeper is not worth Li Yuntian's shot.

After coming up with this guess, Zhao Zeen was taken aback, he naturally knew that Lianghuai Yandao was a hornet's nest that could not be pierced in the officialdom for so many years, and Li Yuntian actually wanted to take it under the knife, I have to say that he was young and vigorous, and if he was a little worse, he would be hit hard.

Due to the importance of the matter, Zhao Zeen didn't know if his guess was accurate, but if it was really like that, it would provide Zhao Xinyue with an excellent opportunity to get close to Li Yuntian.

Therefore, Zhao Zeen wrote a letter to Zhao Xinyue to deceive Zhao Xinyue back, and then waited for the direction of the situation, if Li Yuntian really attacked the two Huaiyan Dao, let Zhao Xinyue go with him.

So there was the scene on the dock, who would have thought that Zhao Xinyue and Zhao Zeen, who were about to quarrel on the dock, actually performed a play for everyone to see, and then successfully deceived people including Li Yuntian.

As Zhao Xinyue boarded the ship, the atmosphere on the ship became a little weird, Xie Heng and Han Liang avoided it with interest, hiding in their respective rooms and not coming out, so as not to disturb Zhao Xinyue and Li Yuntian to catch up.

As Li Yuntian's colleague in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the two naturally knew about Li Yuntian's distress in Jinan Mansion that year, and knew that Li Yuntian's Zhao family in Zhaojiaji at that time had a conflict with Shi Hu, the former commander of Jiningwei, and Zhao Xinyue was the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and it was obvious that she had a good friendship with Li Yuntian, otherwise how could she call Li Yuntian "big brother", and Li Yuntian would not take Zhao Xinyue south.

Therefore, in this situation, of course Xie Heng and Han Liang had to hide, the two of them were ordered by Li Yuntian to thoroughly investigate the Lianghuai Salt Road, naturally they were scheming people, and they could see at a glance that Zhao Xinyue's eyes were as tender as water when they looked at Li Yuntian, how could they stay as light bulbs.

Zhao Xinyue was very interested in Li Yuntian's affairs in Jiaozhi, listened with great interest to his talk about the local customs and customs of Jiaozhi, and carefully made notes, which is very good material, which can be published in "Mingxin Daily" in the future.

Unconsciously, Li Yuntian arrived in Huai'an by boat, and the officials of the Yamen of the Caoyun Governor, the Yamen of the Huai'an Prefect, and the Yamen of the Huai'an Wei Command Department had all been on the dock to greet him.

The governor of Caoyun was an old man of Li Yuntian, Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, who had served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Shandong when he quelled the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and was transferred to Huai'an City two years ago to take over the power of Caoyun.

If the civil officials all want to go to the Lianghuai Salt Road to serve, then the favorite place for the nobles is the Caoyun Governor Yamen, because it can be said to be the most oily and watery one in the Yamen of the Ming Dynasty.

Xue Lu is the person with the highest official rank in Huai'an, so naturally he will fulfill the friendship of the landlord and set up a banquet for Li Yuntian to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Speaking of which, Xue Luneng served as the governor of Caoyun was also stained with Li Yuntian's light, when he put down the rebellion of the Han King, he was appointed by Emperor Xuande as the vanguard of the counterinsurgency force, but was attacked by Qingyi Bo Lu Ping, who was loyal to the Han King, in Fucheng County, and half of his 30,000 elite men and horses were lost.

If it weren't for Li Yuntian's general Xue Lu to go over to defend Jinan City together, and then he won several battles in succession, which made him make a lot of military achievements, where would he have the opportunity to sit on the position of governor of Caoyun?

The last time the two met was four years ago, Li Yuntian led three thousand Xiaowu troops to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Zhenwu Bo of that year has been enshrined as the Marquis of Zhenwu, which makes Xue Lu feel quite emotional, maybe in the near future Li Yuntian will become the prince of the country.

After the banquet, Li Yuntian followed Xue Lu to the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun, since he came to Huai'an, he naturally had to live here at night, otherwise he would not give Xue Lu face.

However, an hour after entering the Caoyun Governor's Yamen, the back door of the Caoyun Governor's Yamen's back house suddenly opened, and Li Yuntian changed into civilian clothes and hurriedly disappeared into the night of the back alley surrounded by Li Manshan and several personal guards.

Li Yuntian's entry into Huai'an City this time was not just to catch up with Xue Lu, there was one thing that had been pressed on his heart for six years, and he had no time to solve it, and it was time to come to Huai'an today.

There was a carriage parked at the entrance of the back alley, and several elite men were guarding there, and they all bowed when they saw Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian opened the curtain of the carriage and got in, and there was a handsome boy in a blue robe inside, looking at him with a smile.

"Why are you here, not at home with your mother-in-law." Li Yuntian laughed, sat next to the blue-robed boy and stretched out his hand to wrap his waist.

"Huai'an is my territory, so I naturally want to help you get angry." The blue-robed boy smiled, leaned on Li Yuntian's shoulder, and said softly.

This blue-robed boy is none other than Lei Ting, the eldest lady of the Cao Gang, and Li Yuntian's sixth lady.

Because Lei Ting followed Li Yuntian to Jiaozhi for four years, Lei Xiaotian and his wife were very worried in their hearts, so Lei Ting quietly returned to Huai'an City last month to reunite with her parents.

"Those bastards actually sold their husbands to be cowherds, which made the old man almost innocent, this sullen husband can always be remembered in his heart, and he must treat his body in the way of others." Li Yuntian hugged Lei Ting tightly, and a trace of anger flashed on his face.

"I can't believe that you still remember this now, I have forgotten about it a long time ago." Lei Ting immediately giggled when she heard this, how could she forget the events of that night six years ago, Li Yuntian at that time could be described as a wolf, in order to avoid the pursuers, he actually hid in the tree where she was hospitalized, and was almost shot down by her with an arrow.

"If he hadn't been in a hurry to send an edict to the emperor at that time, the husband would have brought them to justice a long time ago." Li Yuntian couldn't help but have an embarrassed look on his face, and said curtly.

"But I have to thank them, or you wouldn't have broken into me." Lei Ting heard that Li Yuntian was a little embarrassed, so she looked up at him with a smile, her eyes were tender like water.

"Those bastards don't know how many immoral things they have done over the years, and this time they must be punished severely." Li Yuntian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, leaned over and kissed Lei Ting's forehead, and then his eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice.
