Chapter 775: The Journey

After Gongsun Lan left, Li Jing sat quietly for a long time, looking at the white winter sun in front of the court.

I don't know how Wang Guiniang of Lu Dao reacted after knowing that Lu Dao married Yu Youniang, of course, she may not have any sadness and sadness on her face, and she will even have a generous image. But he knew that this would hurt her deeply, and it had been almost a year, although Yu Youniang was young and regarded you as the princess, she ate fasting and worshipping the Buddha and didn't ask about the world at all. The couple had little time together, and they didn't even have sex at all in the past year. In the past, Gui Niang was always very serious and hard-working, and she wanted to give birth to a son-in-law for the Li family. But this year, this idea has long been broken.

Maybe Wang Guiniang will be sad, but she won't be too sad, after all, she seems to know that there will be this day in the end.

Of the many women in the family, perhaps the one who is most unwilling to accept this fact is Wang Haojun. This woman who is very beautiful, but has a near-demon wisdom, since Li Jing has beaten her a few times, has turned to the busy task of taking charge of the back house and raising several sons. Wang Guiniang had no children and was not very keen on managing the back house, so the back house was completely taken over by her. Moreover, she gave birth to three sons in a row, of which the eldest son is the eldest son of the Li family, in the absence of a son-in-law, this eldest son is equivalent to the son of King Qin, and his status is noble. Now he is only a few years old, but he has been crowned the king of Lanling County by the Son of Heaven.

Originally, seeing that Wang Guiniang was almost a monk, Wang Haojun became the wife of the Li family's housekeeper, and his son may become the son of the family in the future. But now Li Jing suddenly wants to marry Yu Youniang, and she is still a wife instead of a concubine, and she suddenly pressed on top of her head. And once the future gives birth to a son in the young mother. That's the son-in-law. It doesn't matter if Wang Haojun's son is the eldest son. But in such an era, there are thousands of differences between the concubines.

According to the Tang law, a concubine cannot be a wife. No matter what reason the wife dies, a concubine is a concubine, and whoever takes a concubine as a wife must be exiled with the rod for both men and women. Therefore, it can be said that Wang Hao's son will never become a son-in-law in his life. Yu Youniang entered the Li family. will have the greatest impact on Wang Haojun.

But if you think about it carefully, Wang Chenjun is not only beautiful but also smart, although she also has a strong mother's support, she should know what she can and can't do. Even if Wang Pu is the secretary of the military department, even if Wang Pu was born in the top gate valve of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Hedong, if Wang Haojun dares to do anything out of the ordinary, she will inevitably be uprooted.

Wang Haojun will definitely not be happy, this can be imagined. Li Jing felt that she should remind her to keep her sane. Besides, Yu Youniang is not Wang Guiniang. Although Wang Guiniang used to be spicy, she was born in a slight cold background after all. When getting along with famous daughters like Wang Haojun, morale inevitably weakened. But like Yu Youniang, she was born in a top wealthy family, and her mother's strength even far exceeded that of the Wang family.

After Yu Youniang officially married in, Li Jing felt that she should transfer the power of the palace to Youniang, and then let Xiao Yulou and Zhang Hui assist, so that she should be able to suppress it. Although he is unwilling to face these trivial things, if the family is restless, something will happen sooner or later, and Li Jing has to make arrangements as soon as possible.

In history, there were many heroic emperors, but the most reckless ones were due to the unrest of the harem, which led to the occurrence of successor accidents, and the most reckless precedent that the entire hard-earned dynasty collapsed.

When Li Jing left the small hall, the front yard of the palace was silent, and it was pitch black. The entire inner city of Yanjing is the palace of the king of Qin, although it is called a mansion on the surface, in fact, it is a very large inner city complex, and Li Rang has even proposed to change the inner city into a royal palace. However, it was vetoed by Li Jing at the end, and yesterday Shangshu Province proposed to build a new palace in the north of Youzhou City, Li Jing originally planned to oppose it, but everyone agreed, after all, now that the power of the Qin domain is constantly expanding, Li Jing's status can have a palace that represents the prestige of the identity, so the matter is also on the agenda.

However, for the time being, within a year or two, the new palace cannot be built immediately, and Li Jing still has to use this inner city as the palace.

Zhao Jiang and Liu Zhijun and the brothers had been waiting in another flower hall for a long time.

"See the King!" As soon as Liu Zhijun and Liu Zhongfeng saw Li Jing's arrival, they immediately bowed down and bowed, very respectful. However, Li Jing noticed that compared with Liu Zhijun's courtesy, Liu Zhongfeng was obviously a little interesting, he knelt down, but quietly looked up at Li Jing, just in time to meet Li Jing's gaze.

Li Jing smiled slightly, not impressed.

"This king heard that Xixian is not yet thirty years old?"

Liu Zhijun hurriedly replied: "Twenty-eight years of humble life. ”

"Oh, this king is just twenty-eight this year, then we are the same age, no wonder this king and you always feel cordial." Li Jing said gently.

Liu Zhijun didn't expect that Li Jing, the world-famous King of Qin, would be kind and gentle, and he couldn't help but relax a lot.

Li Jing stepped forward and pulled Liu Zhijun to sit aside, and carefully looked at this Zeng Yuanyu who was called a deep and fierce general of Xuzhou. He looks like Li Jing is quite tall, and he looks about 1.85 meters, and when he goes to that station, he is full of the temperament of a soldier, standing like a loose seat like a clock. He speaks loudly and loudly. And the tiger has a wolf waist, slender arms, thick and powerful legs, thick eyebrows and big eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a wide mouth and nose, which makes people want to shout a chic and beautiful man when they see it.

And what makes Li Jing even more admired is Liu Zhijun's ability, before he arrived, the Supervision Department had already submitted Liu Zhijun's detailed details. Have courage, can open a 300 catties of strong bow, although it is a native of Xuzhou, but there is a good equestrian skills, immediately riding and shooting, stepping down in close combat, can be one enemy ten. And not only did he step down immediately, but he also had the ability to fight in water. He can charge into battle on horseback, and he can also make suggestions when he camps, and he is completely an all-round general, and he is still young, only twenty-five years old.

And has a good family background, the son of the Liu family of the Xuzhou clan, Yunwen Yunwu.

However, he also has some bad comments, that is, this person governs the army very strictly, and he handles things according to military law at every turn. And he is brave in the ups and downs, but he is fierce when he fights, not only to his own people, but also to the enemy, he has suffered great casualties in the war, and likes to kill prisoners, even if the other party is willing to surrender, he will only leave a small number of soldiers to surrender after a big kill. However, he can share weal and woe with his soldiers, be bold and generous to his subordinates, and reward them clearly. He always gave his soldiers the reward he had received. Therefore, it is very popular with subordinates.

This is a tiger general. Although there are many shortcomings, in general, he is a tiger general who can fight and lead troops.

"Xixian, this king knows that you are a fierce general, but there are also some soldiers who reflect that you have a hot temper. But in general, small is better than undisguised talent. A tiger general like you is exactly what this king needs. In this way, the king decided to reorganize the more than 1,000 probationary troops attached to Xuzhou, with them as the main body. Replenish the 5,000 men and horses, and set up a new army, and you will be the master. The military name is Liewu, and the Liewu Army will be temporarily stationed outside Youzhou City for reorganization and training, and this king will grant you the title of commander of the opening road. ”

Zhao Jiang said on the side: "Congratulations to General Liu, I will call the general Liu Kaidao in the future." ”

Liu Zhijun was also pleasantly surprised, he and Zhang Yun were both generals in Xuzhou. After Zhang Yun surrendered, he became the master of the Shenwu Army. And now he is not only the master of the martial army, but also has to be the commander of the Dao, which obviously shows that the king of Qin values him more. This is not a real position. Rather, it is similar to the title of the Ya, the commander of the road. But this is not a low title, which completely means that King Qin values it.

Liu Zhijun thanked him loudly, and Li Jing waved his hand to signal him to get up. Then he turned his gaze to Liu Zhongfeng, who had been secretly looking at him, "Tell me, what are you willing to do, tell me, maybe I can help you achieve it." He smiled at Liu Zhongfeng and said that after the war in Xuzhou, Liu Zhongfeng took the lead in donating a lot of grain and grass to the Jianghuai Qin army on behalf of the Liu family. He also led his fleet to transport grain and grass for the Qin army, and helped repair Xuzhou, which performed well and had a great impact, so Li Jing would receive him especially this time.

"Really?" Liu Zhongfeng said with some excitement, his eyes lit up, "If I make a wish, King Qin can help me realize it?" ”

"Of course, it must be within the power of this king." Li Jing said with a smile, he naturally knew that although Liu Zhongfeng seemed to be young, he might have taken out his family's grain to labor the army immediately after the war in Xuzhou, and took the lead in setting an example, and even led his fleet to help the Qin army transport grain and grass, which fully shows that this is not a stupid person, on the contrary, this is an extremely smart person. With such a person, Li Jing doesn't have to worry about what he will ask too much.

Sure enough, Liu Zhongfeng bowed: "I have a request that I want to ask the King of Qin to agree, I want to buy a sea ship from the King of Qin, form an ocean-going caravan, and buy goods from Dengzhou to trade in the far-away country of Taixi." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Jing smiled, this Liu Zhongfeng is really a refreshing and understanding person. "Well, this king is approved, you can take this king's handwritten letter to the shipyard in Dengzhou to buy the sea boat you want, and there will be a discount. In addition, you can also buy the commercial goods you want at any port of my Qin Domain. In addition, the King will allow you to purchase a set number of weapons to defend your trade. ”

After a pause, Li Jing said again: "In order to reward you for what you have done in Xuzhou, this king now specially grants you the title of commander of the open sea." In the future, if you walk on the sea, as long as you raise this banner, you will definitely have unexpected benefits. ”

At this moment, Liu Zhongfeng, who had been calm just now, finally couldn't help but be moved.

Li Jing gave him a handwritten letter, just so that he could easily buy sea ships and sea goods. But if he has this title and banner, then he can suddenly become the official maritime merchant of the Qin Domain under the banner of King Qin, and the convenience and safety that this can bring can be imagined.

With the official background given by King Qin, from the north all the way to Jiaozhou, there is nothing to worry about when supplies stop along the way. An official title and a banner are worth 10,000 taels of gold.

Li Jing was a little drunk at this time, and his body was extremely tired.

"Do a good job, there's a lot to be done on the sea! Maybe one day, you will become a legendary maritime merchant, and your name will become a legend that countless people will sing! If there was a day, would you still remember today? ”

"Will my name become a legend?" Liu Zhongfeng's young face was full of shock and yearning, and he muttered: "If there really is that day, this legend will always obey the orders of King Qin!" ”

Maybe, Liu Zhongfeng! However, Li Jing believes that even if Liu Zhongfeng can really become a legendary maritime merchant one day, at that time, he Li Jing will still let Liu Zhongfeng still maintain his awe for him today!

Go, Liu Zhongfeng, your journey is the sea. And my journey is the world! (To be continued......)
