Li Xuanjin walked out of the palace gate silently, and the subordinates of King Jing's Mansion were already waiting outside, leading the horse and trotting to hand over the reins of the horse. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network
The princes next to him think that their sedan chair is not comfortable enough, but he is good, he never sits in a sedan chair, if he lets any official see it in front of him, he must praise it, King Jing is heroic, even if it is the guards of King Jing's Mansion, there are a lot of praises in private, but in this matter, Li Xuanjin has no pretentious ideas, in fact, it is simple, since he was named King Jing when he was nine years old, he left the palace where he lived, and lived alone outside, and he was spoiled by the concubine since he was a child, and he said that he cried darkly, And the bad thing is that he fainted for the first time, the taste made him unforgettable for life, it is also strange, since then, as long as he sits on the sedan chair, he can vomit a little bit in a few steps, no way, so he had to change to riding a horse, but this has also won him a reputation for good martial arts.
Circle the horse's head, Li Xuanjin swept over the stretching and majestic palace, his eyes showed a trace of obsession, and then hidden, but his face became a little deep, all the way out of the Qianyuan Palace, he broke his father's words in his heart and crumpled the pondering, don't look at him all these years like he doesn't care about the world, but the court has a big and small affair in charge of itself, and nothing can hide from him. In the past two years, the prince and the old five have been very powerful, and the brothers next to him have also beaten the drums very well, and he is quite moved in his heart, but thinking about it, the prince's position is unstable, and everyone can see that compared with several brothers, he is the youngest, which means that the foundation is shallow. Although he has relied on the favor of Emperor Zhengde over the years, he has said a few good words for the officials in the court and the officials in some things, and he has said that he has made some references, but compared with the third brother who has been the prince for more than 20 years and the fifth brother who has been guarding Tongguan all the year round, this idea can only be described as insignificant. His actions are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even he himself sometimes thinks that it is very good to be a prince who doesn't worry about anything, but he is always unwilling, why can that position only be the third brother and the fifth brother? They were only born a few years early, and seeing that their fight was in full swing, he was a little unconvinced.
Things took a turn for the better more than a year ago, the Qingyang Mutiny, although he didn't know the reason, but since then, Yang Gan, the emperor of the court, has been secretly showing favor to him frequently. Although it was just a small thing to send on weekdays, it also gave him a little hope, and he didn't care what Yang Gan thought. Some words could not be said so clearly, but this gave him a little hope, and he wanted to test the meaning of the prime minister, but then dispelled this idea, showing favor does not mean full support, and he is very clear about the thoughts of these officials above the court. If Yang Gan's overtures gave him hope. Then Zeng Wenyuan's matter could only make him angry. It's a kind of anger mixed with the humiliation of being betrayed and powerless, that good third brother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even saying something in front of him for fear that he would misunderstand, he was smiling at the time, as if he didn't care about anything, but this was ...... in his heart
Thinking of this, Li Xuanjin gritted his teeth tightly, turned around and thought about leaving with the horse, and said that it was such a clever method, far away a green sedan chair carried by two people fell to the ground, and a person came down from above, more than forty years old, with a clear face, a tall figure, and the official clothes were even more neatly tidy, and he saw Li Xuanjin and his party from afar, but this person was not in a hurry to come forward to salute, but did not hurry, and slowly came to more than ten meters, and then saluted: "The lower official has given a salute to His Royal Highness King Jing." The voice is clear, neither high nor low, and when he sees the court, he relies on the etiquette of the court, so that people can't find a single fault.
The guards around Li Xuanjin immediately dismounted and dismounted, and scattered and scattered, and the salute from the third-grade master in front of him was Li Xuanjin, but they didn't dare to stand it.
Li Xuanjin's eyes narrowed, his mind was spinning, the person in front of him was none other than the eldest son of Zeng Wenyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who used to be just a fourth-grade envoy in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but now he has become a third-level envoy who almost controls half of the wealth and power of Daqin, and he is a major minister from the third-grade land, this father and son of the Zeng family have become synonymous with sanctimony in his heart.
Li Xuanjin sneered in his heart, but he still hesitated, but he didn't get off the horse, just sitting on the horse, the corners of his mouth curled, looking indescribably arrogant, but he said in his mouth: "Ah, it turned out to be Lord Zeng, if this king is not mistaken, Lord Zeng should have been promoted, why is his behavior still so simple?" ”
Zeng Du straightened up, his eyes looked directly at Li Xuanjin on the horse, and his brows were slightly invisible
, but still replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness Lao is worried, and the minister is ashamed to be ashamed, and the minister does not dare to violate the ancestral teachings and wantonly publicize it." ”
Li Xuanjin sneered, with a mockery in his smile, "Is this really the case with Lord Zeng's family motto?" How did this king hear that Lord Zeng was having a big banquet, and the eight friends of Chang'an came to four, and called a few famous prostitutes to the house to sing and dance, well, the third brother They seem to have sent people, and even the subordinate officials who are far away in Hanoi have sent people to congratulate Lord Zeng, it is really a good family motto...... By the way, how can such a good thing not be called this king? Lord Zeng also knows that this king likes to be lively the most, but yes, it is estimated that Zeng Shangshu is afraid that Zeng Shangshu will not be in a good mood when he sees this king, an unsuccessful student, right?
But Lord Zeng is wrong, in the name of Zeng Shangshu's strengths, if this king goes, let Lord Shangshu scold, wouldn't Zeng Shangshu's reputation go to a higher level?
This king originally wanted to fulfill the old Shangshu, but he didn't receive the invitation, so he was embarrassed to enter the door of Lord Zeng, the upstart of the court. ”
When Zeng Du saw King Jing Li Xuanjin outside the palace gate, he knew that a meal was settled, but he never thought that King Jing's words, which had always ignored political affairs, would be so sharp. The words were even more meaningful, and his face was a little hasty, but he still said to himself: "It's just a gathering of three or five friends......
Zeng Du was still talking about something here, but Li Xuanjin had already taken the reins and said loudly: "Let's go, go to Yang's Mansion." A group of guards and servants immediately gathered around him, and the horses' hooves were gone away in an instant.
The look on Zeng Du's face is good-looking, white and blue. Even his hands and feet trembled slightly, and Li Xuanjin's laughter came from afar, "I wish the Zeng family all the doors, and Lord Zeng has been on the ......rise since then=.In a flash, the color of shame and anger suddenly appeared, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he saw that the guards on both sides of the palace gate were looking at this side with a smile, and his body couldn't help but pause, and finally flicked his robe sleeves." Turned his head and walked in the direction of the palace, but looking at his back, he didn't have the reserved and self-defensive appearance of Fang Cai, and his steps were hurried, as if he was fleeing like a wolf.
As the flow of people in front of him increased, the speed of the horse slowed down, and one of the guards leaned up, and this person waved his hand to disperse the people around Li Xuanjin, and regardless of Li Xuanjin's face, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness." Zeng Wenyuan also said that your teacher, even if he goes to climb the high branch now, but after all, he will have to read some love in the future. But...... There is a lot of reputation in Jingshi, so you are humiliated......
Li Xuanjin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, waved his hand, but his eyes looked at him with a smile, but he sighed in his heart. There are still too few talents around me. This man is the long history of his own house. When he was down, he gathered it up, but he can only say that he has a small talent. I usually can't see it, but when I encounter a big event, I seem a little timid, and my talent is insufficient, although I think so in my heart, I still whispered: "Sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to publicize it." ”
—
Speaking of this, he glanced at his confidant who was still at a loss, shook his head secretly, but continued to say: "The prince is serious, don't look at it, he has already called this king to make it clear in person, but if this king is still kind to Zeng's father and son, and he looks like he doesn't care about his previous suspicions, maybe what does he think in his heart...... + master, if he is afraid of a courtier, then this prince will inevitably have some, it is better not to do it."
What's more, Zeng's father and son all regarded themselves as gentlemen, but they couldn't get down in face, for the reputation of this humble gentleman, they didn't dare to embarrass the king for this idea, and now that his father is still on the throne, what is the king afraid of him? Even if the third brother of the crown prince really becomes the emperor a hundred years after his father, it is a big deal to find a reason to cut the king's prince, what else can he do? ”
When the long history heard this, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he suddenly woke up, the scheming and temperament of these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren are very comparable, how could they do anything senseless in a place like the palace gate? When it comes to himself, he looks like he takes it for granted, no matter how he says it, he is superficial to the extreme, thinking of this, the look on his face can't help but be a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and he doesn't know what to say.
Li Xuanjin looked indifferent, and said with a slight smile: "Ziping, what strange things do you think this king should bring to Miss Qian'er this time...... Ha, Ziping doesn't need to blush, they all say that I am a fair lady, a gentleman, Yang Xiang gave birth to such a good daughter, and her talent and appearance are peerless. But whenever you go to the beauty, you are like a river, gushing endlessly, but it just so happens that you are like a wood every time, and you are out of place, to the point that you fell into the river in front of Yang Xiang a few years ago......
The voice faded away, and the group of figures disappeared into the crowd......
The inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion is a chic small courtyard by the water
A small attic, here has always been a forbidden place in the prince's mansion, ordinary people will not have the opportunity to wait for a glance, and the people in the palace also know that this place called the idle pavilion is the resting place of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince likes to be clean when he rests, so this place is quiet, in addition to a few servants, there are also a few of His Royal Highness's henchmen who can enter and exit without hindrance, and even the princess wants to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and she has to be allowed to enter by the guards who are guarding outside.
At this time, it is late spring, the spring breeze is warm, and the willows are gentle. The water is rippling, and it is a good spring season, but in the small building, people feel a little chilled even to catch their breath.
Prince Li Xuan sat behind the bookcase with a calm face, his eyes flashed with cold light, staring at a thirty-year-old man kneeling on the ground, the man was not wearing much, and the room was not hot at this time, but the back of this person was covered with a sweat stain from the boss, which showed that his heart was already in a hurry.
Li Xuanzhi's voice remained calm. "In this way, I gave you so many manpower, after more than a year, you didn't even find any trace of that person, and finally returned to Beijing alone, at that time I still remember, you said everything to the full, I also brought 200,000 taels of silver from the house to you, and now you come back and open your mouth to ask me for manpower, ask for silver. The errand is done like this, and you dare to come back to see me. ”
The man kneeling on the ground trembled, raised his head, but he looked dignified, but the sweat on his face made him look a little wolf, although his bright eyes were a little ashamed, but he didn't seem to be very flustered, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Highness saved the life of the villain's family at the beginning, and this kind villain will never forget it in his life, and the errand was done like this." The villain also felt ashamed of the cultivation of His Highness, if he hadn't found the trace of that person, the villain would be powerful. The villain has already wiped his neck with a knife, if His Royal Highness thinks that the villain is not doing well, he can immediately take the villain's life, and the villain will never complain. ”
Li Xuanzhi's eyes flashed, and his expression slowly eased, this person was born recklessly. By chance. He saved the man's life. Later, I found out that this person's scheming and talent are all said to be the best choice, and the most rare thing is to serve the lord faithfully. At this time, even if Li Xuanzhi was angry in his heart, it was just a few words, if he disposed of this person, he really didn't have a suitable candidate to take his place.
"Well, even if you found the man's traces, how could this be the result of the people you took with you?"
The man moved his body for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "That person was hidden in a village in Gongyi County, some time ago, the villain passed the book to believe that His Royal Highness also saw it, some of the soldiers who were wounded and retired in Qingyang Town Army voted for a soldier named Zhao Shi, and killed the villain from all over the people and horses left, and the villain didn't care at first, and it was nothing great to deal with some thieves on the green forest road, and the villain didn't plan to rely on these people to succeed, and then the villain sent several waves of people to investigate, but not even one came back alive, The villain only then knew that the situation was wrong, Xu was blessed by a master in the village, and later inquired in the neighboring villages and towns, and it was determined that the person was indeed in the village, and His Royal Highness also knew that the wife's surname was Zheng, and there was a new Mr. Zheng in the village, and the description of the physical appearance was similar to that in the portrait.
So the villain gathered all the remaining men......
Speaking of this, the man's face was miserable, and his eyes, which were originally quite calm, also carried a little fear, swallowed his saliva, glanced at Li Xuanzhi, who was attentive, and then continued: "Two hundred and sixty-three people, the villain took them and wanted to storm the village, but they only arrived more than ten miles away from the village, and they were discovered......
The man seems to have the situation of that night in front of his eyes, of course, this is not the first time, now he can dream every night to see the blood sprayed like rain, and the heads that rolled down, he has never been in the battle array, never dreamed that human life was so cheap, "The road is full of traps, no place is safe, arrows from the ground, from the trees from time to time, when people pass, they encounter not enemies, but traps. , we have only half of our original manpower......
Later we wanted to withdraw it, but those ...... After embellishing us, the two adults of Zhang Wang you sent, one was shot dead in the chaos, one was fielded, ten miles, it only took ten miles, the people on foot were chased and killed, and their cavalry was still behind us, if it wasn't for the villain to let everyone scatter and escape, and sent a few people around him to lead away those forbidden troops, the villain probably couldn't come back, after that, the villain didn't dare to stay in Gongyi County, ran and killed six horses, and then rushed back to Beijing within three days
