"Governor Li, the emperor's will has been read, you see...... When are we leaving? ”

Li Jiangyao glanced at the other party and asked lightly, "Are you from Beiya?" ”

"Uh...... Xia Guan is the head of the Criminal Department. ”

"The head of the criminal department?" Li Jiangyao laughed and said: "Then you are a good mixer, you can serve as the commander of the Xuanzhi from the sixth grade, and escort the naval army governor of the third grade to Beijing." ”

"Ahem...... The Governor laughed. To tell the truth, the lower official is the flag envoy of the three branches of the North Ya Reverse Scale Division. Zhu Junjie said in a low voice.

Li Jiangyao said while sorting out the volume on the table: "The third department is in charge of the operation, and he is a master of arrest, assassination, and raid, so I think your martial arts are not bad." ”

Zhu Junjie was stunned when he heard this: "Xiaguan...... Kung fu is average. ”

"Modest." Li Jiangyao said with a smile: "Someone once told me before that in the Reverse Scale Division, modesty is the first virtue, and you can live longer. ”

Faced with Li Jiangyao's ridicule, Zhu Junjie didn't know how to answer for a while. He laughed dryly twice and asked again: "Li Dudu, when will you leave?" ”

Before Li Jiangyao could respond to him, someone outside the handsome tent suddenly shouted angrily: "Hurry a bird!" We're going to discuss the military situation, and you go outside and wait. ”

Zhu Junjie turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Yang Li, who had just been appointed as the deputy governor of the navy. Behind him, there were also more than a dozen unkind-faced naval officers.

Yang Li walked up to him and glared at Zhu Junjie fiercely, as if he was going to eat people: "Are you deaf?" Why don't you get out of here?! ”

Zhu Junjie's face sank suddenly: "I'm Qincha, can you ...... when you speak?"

"Can't!" Yang Li directly scolded back: "The rebels are coming soon, why don't you stop them?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Junjie was slightly embarrassed, turned his head to Li Jiangyao and said: "Governor, the emperor's will is very clear, from now on, you can no longer participate in the naval battle." ”

Before Li Jiangyao could speak, the officers were already clamoring.

"Fuck, this battle can't be fought!"

"Now that the enemy is now, do you still have this set of things? It's really full! ”

"I'm quitting! Whoever you love to do it! ”

"What about military law? What is the crime of changing generals and disturbing the morale of the army?! ”

Facing such a group of wolf-like military leaders, Zhu Junjie was also a little frightened. In case it really makes a fuss on the spot and triggers a mutiny, don't say that you are a Qincha, they dare to cut it when the king of heaven comes.

He smiled bitterly in a panic and looked at Li Jiangyao.

Li Jiangyao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said calmly: "All of them are there, stand upright." ”

There was a bang, and the armor shook. All the officers in the tent, including the deputy governor Yang Li, all stood silently and neatly.

"Brothers, you are all soldiers of the Holy Tang Dynasty," Li Jiangyao said indifferently: "The state has national laws, the army has military regulations, and this Lord Zhu is only acting on orders, so you don't have to embarrass him." ”

"Yang Li, Wen Lie, the three provinces, and General Gu, during the time I was not in Yiling, I hope you can unite as one and stabilize your morale. Discuss more when encountering problems, and support each other more. Fight to seize the fighter again and crush the rebel fleet. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" Yang Li choked up slightly: "The navy can't do without you." ”

Li Jiangyao smiled freely: "Look at what you said." My Holy Tang Navy is invincible in the world, and anyone can still win the battle without it! You can be appointed as the deputy governor of the imperial court, which is expected by everyone, and it also shows that the imperial court is objective and wise, and you must not live up to everyone's expectations. ”

After that, he arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, I will leave first, I hope to hear the good news of your victory in the imperial capital!" ”

"Swear to follow your lordship to the death, and our army will win!" All the officers responded in unison.

Li Jiangyao slowly walked out of the handsome tent under everyone's gaze. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he was taken aback.

On the square outside the tent, tens of thousands of sailors stood densely, and when they saw him appear, they knelt down on one knee in unison.

"Congratulations to the Grand Duke!"

Zhu Junjie was almost not shocked by this huge sound, and his heart was beating violently.

Li Jiangyao's eyes were a little moist, and he waved his hand and said loudly: "Get up!" ”

Hearing the order, the warriors stood up one after another, looking at him with blazing eyes. Although Li Jiangyao did not come for a long time, it was he who saved the entire navy in times of crisis, and led the navy to defeat the enemy and regain his dignity and self-confidence.

In the hearts of the soldiers, the young coach has long been deeply recognized.

Li Jiangyao turned his head and smiled at Zhu Junjie: "Don't worry, without my order, they won't do anything to you." ”

Zhu Junjie heard the implication of these words: As long as I give the order, you will definitely not be able to leave here alive today.

He hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Most of the governors have a good way of governing the army, and they are deeply loved by the soldiers, and the subordinates admire and admire." ”

Li Jiangyao laughed, immediately took the reins handed by his subordinates, turned over his horse, and accompanied by Zhu Junjie and other agents, passed through the crowd of thousands of sailors and left the Yiling camp.

Unexpectedly, the scene outside the camp made Zhu Junjie's head even bigger.

10,000 ghost-faced white-robed troops, sitting on war horses at this time, lined up neatly, calmly and calmly waiting for their big protectors.

"This ......" Zhu Junjie didn't know what to say.

A white-robed military captain stepped forward, looked down at Zhu Junjie condescendingly, and said coldly: "You can see clearly, we are not a naval army, and it has nothing to do with us whether the metropolitan protector should be the governor of the naval army or not!" ”

Zhu Junjie could really feel the murderous aura of the white-robed army, and stammered to Li Jiangyao: "Uh...... They? ”

Li Jiangyao asked with a smile: "Zhu Zhangqi envoy, the holy edict asked me to go back to Beijing to report on my work, did you clearly say that you are not allowed to bring your own soldiers with you?" ”

"That'...... Not really," Zhu Junjie subconsciously wiped the corners of his forehead: "However, so many people ......"

The white-robed lieutenant stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the knife and sneered: "There are few people, are you qualified to ask?" ”

Zhu Junjie waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, this is not what the lower officials meant, the lower officials are not qualified to ask, please take care of yourself." ”

In this way, Zhu Junjie and his twenty anti-scale spies, accompanied by 10,000 white-robed troops, set off for the imperial capital. In order to ensure their safety, the white-robed army specially divided 1,000 elites, surrounded Zhu Junjie and others, and walked at the back of the entire team all the way.

Five days later, Li Jiangyao successfully arrived in the imperial capital.

According to the rules, he should go to the palace to meet the emperor in the morning of the next day, so after entering the city in the evening, Li Jiangyao went straight to Hu Yufei's house next to the Horse Mansion, intending to spend the night.

For his arrival, Hu Lao was very happy, and hurriedly ordered his family to hold a banquet to protect the wind and dust for the capital. Unexpectedly, the princess of Fenyang next door received the news, and she came uninvited, and had to ask for a glass of wine at Old Man Hu's mansion.

When Hu Yufei was an official in the court, he was the teacher of the prince and princess, and he was familiar with Li Xi, and he always regarded her as a granddaughter, so he didn't mind much, and hurriedly beckoned the seventh princess to take a seat.

"Brother, when you go to the imperial capital, you don't go back to our own house first, but come to harass Master Hu, it's really true." Li Xi looked forward to the brilliance, and complained about Li Jiangyao with half anger and half joy.

Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "I can talk to Hu Lao specially, I lived in his house last time, so I got used to it." ”

"It's the same wherever you live," Hu Yufei stroked his long hair and rounded the field for Li Jiangyao: "Princess, isn't it true that most of the old people protect themselves?" ”

Li Xiyan smiled and said, "Count, of course." You have always been my master, equal to half a father. ”

Li Jiangyao especially admired Li Xitao's approaching methods, which were both cordial and natural, and a simple sentence suddenly strung together the relationships between the three people.

He touched his glass with Hu Yufei and Li Xi, and said with a smile: "I'm coming back this time, and I'm in a lot of trouble, so it's best not to bother you." ”

Hu Yufei put down his wine glass and asked, "Is it because of the killing of Sun Chen and others?" ”

"You know everything?" Li Jiangyao asked with a smile.

"Although the old man is not in the court, there are still a few students," Hu Yufei sighed lightly: "Alas, Your Majesty is now surrounded by traitorous ministers, you obviously led the naval army to a great victory, but you were recalled for questioning, it is simply unreasonable." ”

Li Xi smiled nonchalantly: "Master Hu, you don't have to worry, my brother should be fine." ”

Li Jiangyao was a little curious: "Oh? Why did the princess say this? ”

"Isn't that easy?" Li Xi responded: "What kind of thing is Sun Chen?" What kind of thing is Huo Rulun? What kind of thing is Cao Xun? Combined, they are not as good as a little toe of an older brother. Can you still humiliate my first general in the Holy Tang Dynasty because of three cheap lives? ”

Li Jiangyao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, you can't say that." I am not the first general of Shengtang, and they are not cheap, but because I violated military law and delayed the naval army's battle, I was disposed of. ”

Hu Yufei groaned: "The princess is right. Above the court, there is never any real meaning of right and wrong, and everything only pays attention to weighing the benefits and disadvantages. The emperor shouldn't be guilty of protecting most of the three small characters, at most...... It is a slight punishment on the surface, so as to save some face for the court. ”

Of course, Li Jiangyao understood this truth, so he bowed his head slightly and didn't say anything.

I only heard Li Xi continue to speak: "Compared with killing Sun Chen and the others, there is another thing that should attract the attention of my brother. ”

Hearing this, Li Jiangyao and Hu Yufei were very curious, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Li Xi sneered: "The emperor has been tossing for some time to elect the queen, and all the palaces and important ministers are recommending suitable candidates. Master Hu, the threshold of your house is about to be broken, right? ”

Hu Yufei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not." The old decay was retired from the position of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, and he was a third-grade candidate, and it was said that he was not qualified to recommend candidates. However, according to the rules of the imperial court, retired officials who stayed in Beijing were automatically promoted to the first level of senator when they encountered major events in the court, so they were barely qualified. Therefore, those protégés, marquis and earls, but all those who have daughters in the family, all come to the old man to ask for help, and they are annoyed to death. ”

Li Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "Then who did you promote?" ”

"No one has been promoted." Hu Yufei said depressedly: "I directly called me sick, and I don't see any guests." ”

Li Jiangyao nodded: "A wise move." ”

Li Xi glanced at Hu Yufei meaningfully, turned his head to Li Jiangyao and said, "Brother, you might as well guess who is recommended by Zuo Xiang." ”

Li Jiangyao was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I am a big soldier in the middle of the country, a nobleman in the court, I don't know a few, I really can't guess." ”

Li Xi turned to Hu Yufei again: "Has the teacher received the news?" ”

Hu Yufei shook his head: "It's too late for the old man to hide, how can he care about this?" The princess will reveal the answer directly, which family did Wei Zixuan help? ”

Li Xi sneered word by word: "Zhenguo Mansion, Cheng Wen." ”
