Chapter 32: The Honorable Servant (4.2K)
"Why did the Inspector Wang say this?"
Li Xun looked at Wang Fuyan in surprise, and asked curiously: "Could it be that there is something important about my father's emperor to urgently transfer the king's envoy back to Beijing?" ”
"Now that the Great Wei is in good weather, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the conflicts with the various demon beast groups are also limited to the border part, and the Great Yan Imperial Court on the opposite side is also in a state of truce."
Li Xun frowned and said, "Why does my father urgently transfer the king's envoy back to Beijing now?" Could it be that there is a natural disaster such as a ground movement and a flood? Can't find the right person to go for disaster relief? ”
"I can't see that His Highness is still concerned about political affairs!"
Wang Fuyan snorted lukewarmly.
"Oh, Inspector Wang, don't blame this king, this king admits that he didn't wake up from drinking last night, and he was frivolous in the morning, and he will definitely not commit it again in the future, right?"
Li Xun patted Wang Fuyan's shoulder and said, "Inspector Wang said that he wanted to go back to Beijing and enter the palace, could he be angry with me and want to pick a son to stop doing this inspector?" ”
"The old man did mean this just now."
Wang Fuyan was also straight-tempered, and said bluntly: "If Your Highness is as ridiculous and lazy as just now, then the old man should go back to Beijing as soon as possible, and it is better to be out of sight." ”
"Lord Wang, you can put out the fire."
Zhang Lian, the housekeeper on the side, also spoke next to him and persuaded: "Before, the prince of our family, didn't he spend all day with Luo Li in the mansion, and I didn't see you so angry at that time!" ”
"You know what?!"
Wang Fuyan turned his head and glared at Zhang Lian fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Before, the old man thought that King Jing was just a useless mediocre talent, and he had no expectations for him, so naturally he didn't have any requirements, but can it be the same now?!" ”
"If you are really an incompetent prince with no skills, in a chaotic place like Jing'an City, you can survive and live happily for a few days, even if it is good, even if you are tired of being with the fox demon girl all day long, the old man is too lazy to say much."
"But now, you obviously have the heart to compete with other princes, and you are fully capable of cleaning up the accumulated disadvantages in Jing'an City, after you defeated Liu Yong recently, you subdued the mining area, and even Lelou also took the initiative to be obedient, it is when the situation is very good, and you should take advantage of the victory to pursue, how can the old man see you lose your strength at a critical moment?!"
Wang Fuyan's words were fierce, and he was foaming at the stars.
"Inspector Wang, don't worry, this king assures you that he will definitely let you see a different Jing'an City."
As Li Xun spoke, he turned sideways without a trace, avoiding the foaming stars, which made Wang Fuyan spray Zhang Lian's face.
"Really?"
Wang Fuyan saw that Li Xun's attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere, and his face was a little softened.
"This king has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase!"
Li Xun nodded seriously, and then said with a smile: "Inspector Wang, you won't be angry and say that you want to go back to Beijing now, right?" ”
"Your Highness, to get back to business, the old man came this time to bid farewell to His Highness."
Wang Fuyan said: "Your Royal Highness may not know, the old man's family has a daughter, has been staying in the capital with his wife, my wife is a little familiar with medical skills, and has entered the palace to regulate the body of Concubine Hui before, and then Concubine Hui and my wife were pregnant almost at the same time, after the birth of the little girl, Concubine Hui Niangniang will accept it as a righteous daughter, Your Majesty is also Longyan Dayue, the emperor's grace is vast, and the little girl will be named the county lord." ”
"So there's still such a thing?"
Li Xun's eyebrows raised slightly, a little surprised.
Regarding the things before he crossed over to the Great Wei, in the memory of the original owner, most of them were deep palace walls, he was only taken care of by his nursing mother since he was a child, and it is rumored that his biological mother was just a humble palace maid, and she died in childbirth when she gave birth to him.
Therefore, Li Xun knows very little about the affairs in Kyoto, and although he is in the royal family, he is more like an outsider who does not fit in.
But fortunately, his father will often visit him, although he is not as nourished as other princes with the help of his mother, and he will not be despised by those eunuchs in the palace.
"The old man returned to Beijing this time because the little girl was also at the age of marriage, and Concubine Hui took the trouble to arrange a family affair for her."
Wang Fuyan said in a deep voice: "This time I took leave to return to Beijing, that is, Your Majesty and Concubine Hui want to discuss this matter with me. ”
"That's the time to go back."
Li Xun nodded.
Although Wang Fuyan's daughter's family affairs have been decided by His Majesty and Concubine Hui, then this matter is basically a certainty, but Wang Fuyan, as the biological father of the woman, naturally has to be present as much as possible to be polite.
At the same time, His Majesty probably also took into account that Wang Fuyan was just serving as a supervision envoy in the chaotic Jing'an City anyway, and it would not hurt to leave for a few days.
If Wang Fuyan was a commanding general sitting in the field, then he was afraid that he would not transfer Wang Fuyan back to Beijing so easily.
"When is the King's envoy going to leave?"
Li Xun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly spoke: "This king will transfer a team of men and horses from the city defense camp and let them escort the adults on the road." ”
It just so happened that he could also take this opportunity to ask Jin Zhen to send troops to explore the reality of the city defense camp.
If Jin Zhen finds an excuse to shirk again, he will have a reason to deal with him, and he can also test what level his strength is.
Now Li Xun's understanding of Jin Zhen is too limited, and this feeling has always made Li Xun feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"No need."
But Wang Fuyan shook his head, then glanced at Zhang Lian next to him, and said, "The old man still has some things to say to His Royal Highness King Jing alone." ”
"Oh, oh, oh, I happen to have some things to deal with in the City Lord's Mansion."
Zhang Lian reacted immediately, patted his head, and said, "Lord Wang, you and Lord Wang continue to talk, and the little one will retire." ”
After speaking, Zhang Lian took a few steps back, walked out of the living room, and then closed the door of the living room with his backhand.
"Your Highness, since you mentioned the city defense camp, the old man just wants to remind you."
After Wang Fuyan waited for Zhang Lian to leave, he looked at Li Xun, frowned, and said in a serious tone: "For the thousands of people in the city defense camp, I am afraid that His Highness will not be able to continue to be optimistic." ”
"The last time the demon clan attacked the city, they didn't go into battle with Your Highness to kill the enemy, right?"
Wang Fuyan then spoke: "Yesterday, before I rushed to the mining area single-handedly, I went to the city defense camp to find General Jin Zhen, and wanted him to bring people to send troops to the mining area to relieve the siege for Your Highness, but as a result, Jin Zhen was still unmoved, let alone himself, that is not even willing to use a single soldier!" ”
Li Xun's expression remained unchanged, and he was not surprised by this result.
"The last time the demon beasts attacked the city, although His Highness held the city lord's mansion and was not breached, the fox demon girl Luo Li beside him was seriously injured."
Wang Fuyan looked at Li Xun with a slightly gloomy expression and said: "In the face of His Highness's questioning that time, General Jin Zhen's answer was that because the attack of the demon beasts was too fierce, even if the city defense battalion fought to the death, it would be better to save its strength and use it for post-disaster reconstruction, as well as the management and deterrence of those who were guilty in the city. ”
"Not bad."
Li Xun bowed slightly.
"This does sound some truth at first glance, but this time the old man asked him to lead troops to the mine to rescue His Highness, but he once again shirked and refused, and even because he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, he simply pretended to be drunk and pretended to sleep to prevaricate the old man!"
There was a hint of anger in Wang Fuyan's tone, and he said: "The mining area is not a nest of demon beasts, and the strength of the three thousand soldiers of the city defense battalion is completely enough to suppress it, but Jin Zhen is still unwilling to use a single soldier. ”
"Your Highness, be careful, this Jin Zhen has been operating in Jing'an City for twenty years, to put it mildly, he is only afraid that he is used to supporting troops here, and he doesn't want to listen to anyone's dispatch at all, but wants to be his own soil emperor here!"
Wang Fuyan said loudly: "If His Royal Highness wants to make some political achievements in Jing'an City, the military force must be firmly in his own hands, and it is absolutely impossible to continue like this." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me."
Li Xun secretly said in his heart: "This idea, Wang Lao thought of it with me." ”
"But Jin Zhen is now in power, and he still can't be moved easily, otherwise, once he startles the snake, I am afraid of drastic changes."
Li Xun frowned and said: "Jin Zhen can defend Jing'an City for so long, not to mention anything else, but his own strength must not be weak." ”
"Your Highness is right, Jin Zhen is deeply rooted in Jing'an City, relying on His Highness alone, it is too difficult to move him in a short period of time."
Wang Fuyan said: "So this time when I entered Beijing, when I arranged the marriage of the little girl, the old man would also report Jin Zhen's matter to His Majesty according to the truth, and strive to transfer Jin Zhen away to make some space for His Royal Highness." ”
"Inspector Wang, you are ......"
Li Xun's eyes froze, and he was speechless for a while, as if something was on his chest, and he didn't know how to speak.
In fact, the identity of the supervision envoy is not a minister of His Royal Highness Li Xun, but also a detached, bystander status.
Wang Fuyan has no need to do this for Li Xun.
Therefore, in Li Xun's planning from beginning to end, he never considered that Wang Fuyan would help him.
But now, Wang Fuyan took the initiative to return to Beijing to advise His Majesty, in order to help him solve Jin Zhen, an outlier entrenched in Jing'an City.
"The old man did this, not all for His Royal Highness King Jing, but because Jin Zhen supported the army and respected himself, did his own thing, and broke the rules of being a border general in the imperial court."
Wang Fuyan looked at Li Xun with a touched face, waved his hand, and said: "And allowing His Highness to smoothly control the overall situation of Jing'an City is also to allow you to better develop here." ”
After speaking, Wang Fuyan paused, and sighed slightly: "The old man has been a Beijing official for most of his life, and after coming here, he realized that there was still such a place in the territory of Great Wei where there was no tomorrow and hope. ”
"This king knows that what Lord Wang cares about is not this king, what you care about is the people's livelihood in every piece of Great Wei territory."
Li Xun bowed his hand slightly towards Wang Fuyan and said, "Wang Lao Gaoyi, no matter whether your advice to your father is successful or not, this king must thank you here in advance." ”
"Thank you, you don't have to."
Wang Fuyan smiled and walked away.
"However, if Your Highness can govern a place like Jing'an City well, then if you govern the country in the future, you will definitely not disappoint."
When he walked to the door, he paused and said, "When I think of this, it's really a little exciting!" ”
"The old man has already arranged for the accompanying servants and the carriage and horses to dry food, and this is gone, and His Highness does not need to send it off."
After speaking, Wang Fuyan didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the living room of the City Lord's Mansion with his head held high.
Li Xun looked at Wang Fuyan's back, and under the noon sun, his blue official uniform seemed to be wider and higher than the sky.
Speechless, Li Xun bowed deeply to Wang Fuyan's back.
No matter what he helped him for, and no matter whether he would always be on his side in the future, at least at this moment, in Li Xun's heart, this old minister is a respectable and loyal minister.
"Zhang Lian! Come here! ”
After Wang Fuyan left the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xun did not delay any longer, and immediately greeted Zhang Lian.
"Lord Wang, you, you can't blame me!"
Zhang Lian shrunk his head and walked over, and said to Li Xun with an aggrieved face: "I really tried my best to stop Lord Wang at that time, but don't look at his age, but his strength is really not small, we can't stop him at all!" ”
"What? Are you afraid that I will punish you with 10,000 spirit stones that you haven't had time to enjoy again? ”
Li Xun looked at Zhang Lian's anxious face and teased lightly.
"I'm not afraid!"
Zhang Lian shook his head and said, "Our prince is so wise and powerful, with clear rewards and punishments, how can he casually punish those of us who do our best?" ”
"You can speak, and you put gold on my face and praise yourself."
Li Xun pursed his lips, and then said, "Okay, since you are so dedicated to doing things, then I will give you one more thing." ”
"It's all up to the king's orders!"
Zhang Lian's waist straightened up and immediately made a statement.
"It's not that hard."
Li Xun raised his chin and said, "Find a few people, go to my room, carry that little cat girl to the mining area, let them find a deeper pit and bury it." ”
"Huh?!"
Zhang Lian was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Lord Wang, you are so fierce, you will kill someone directly at one time?!" ”
"You know what?"
Wang Teng slapped him on the head again angrily, and said: "The half-demon girl has a special physiological structure, as long as she is a minor, it will cause a big blood collapse in the body, and the gods are difficult to save." ”
"Shhh
Zhang Lian gasped, covered the third bag on his forehead, and evolved directly from a ceratosaurus to a triceratops.
"So, do you need to prepare a coffin?"
Zhang Lian asked cautiously.
"No!"
Li Xun waved his hand, looked indifferent, and said, "Just find a straw mat to cover it, you can't prepare a coffin." ”
"The little one knows."
Zhang Lian nodded respectfully and turned away tremblingly.
Li Xun sat on the chair, picked up a cup of tea that was still warm, took a sip, and watched Zhang Lian leave.
And when Zhang Lian's back disappeared around the corner, the moment Li Xun put the teacup back on the coffee table, his own body also sank down suddenly, as if it was a drop of water falling into the seawater, and disappeared into the shadow cast by the chair under him in a blink of an eye.
"The show is about to begin."
