〖Jiajun Wang Lin, the third son of Qi Wangxian, his biological mother was Wang Zhengfei, the Qin family. When the king was ordered to town Zezhou, with him in the army. In the twenty-seventh year of Wuwei, the county king followed his father to the East China Sea. Seeing Princess Changle of Ningguo, the princess took pity on her innocence, so she returned to Chang'an with the county king.
In the fifth year of Longsheng, Princess Lin Bi, Princess Jiaping of Qi, gave birth to a son Zhuo, who was established as the heir. Emperor Taizong of Qi gave him the title of King of Qi, his third son.
— "Biography of the King of Yongshi, Jiajun"〗
In fact, Lu Yun was not surprised when he received the post from Li Lin, the king of Jiajun. After arriving in Chang'an, Lu Yun managed to inquire about the origin of the king of Jiajun. This matter is not a secret, in fact it is quite popular Chinese people relish it.
Li Lin, the king of Jiajun, and the third son of Li Xian, the king of Qi, were originally the direct son of Qin Zheng, the concubine of the former Qi. Your mother, Li Lin's position as the heir is no longer guaranteed, and King Qi didn't care about this heir, so at that time everyone thought that Li Lin would not be able to stand out again, not only his half-brother, but also the prince in the palace. The servants dared to bully him. Unexpectedly, King Qi paid more attention to this son, and even went to Zezhou Daying to take him with him. A few years later, Li Lin met Jiang Zhe and Princess Changle in the East China Sea again. Soon after Princess Changle returned to Beijing, she was re-accepted by the royal family and became the prince's companion. This was the beginning of the road to Qingyun. Even after King Qi married Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping, Li Lin's status was not affected. Although King Qi's eldest son was owned by his heir Li Zhuo, Emperor Yong immediately issued an edict to confer Li Lin the county king. Lin could not inherit the prince position of King Qi, but he was far better than those concubine princes who could only be named an idle marquis without merit. Moreover, now that Li Lin is highly regarded as a prince, his future career is bound to be smooth sailing, so although Li Lin is young, But he has become a powerful figure that the Dayong Dynasty cannot help but pay attention to.
However, what makes Chang'an people most talked about is the independent and special behavior of this Jiajun king. Although he is only eleven years old, he is still an ignorant child in ordinary people, but this county king is already famous in Chang'an. In addition to accompanying the prince to study in the daytime, he led his guards to wander inside and outside Chang'an. He liked to cause trouble the most. When Chang'an's relatives saw him, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. It was a laugh, saying that this son had the style of King Qi in the past, and he left the memorial without asking. In this way, no one in Changan dared to offend the King Jiajun. Fortunately, although this county king is domineering, he doesn't like to bully the weak and often acts injustice, so the people of Chang'an are not disgusted with him. is not bad.
And the greatest hobby of this King Jiajun is to recruit warriors. If he encounters a person with high martial arts, he must try his best to test the strength of that person. Although he was few, his vision was very precise. Almost all the people he saw were Junjie. Later, a letter of recommendation from the King of Jiajun was more effective than a document from the Ministry of War. Therefore, although the King of Jiajun often makes trouble with others, those who are interested know that this is a good opportunity rather than a trouble.
Although Song Jian and others have been in Chang'an for a long time, they are not very clear about these things. Instead, those local snakes in Chang'an know very well. After they heard that Lu Yun had offended the king of Jiajun, they congratulated them and said that as long as Lu Yun With an innocent identity, it is very likely that he will get a good opportunity to be promoted, but some people are worried about him, because although King Jiajun is usually domineering, his behavior on that day was still a bit unusual. After learning that it was Jiang Roulan, the Lord of Zhaohua County, who was with the county king that day, those people all looked ambiguous. Lu Yun asked for a long time, and those talents told Lu Yun vaguely that the Lord of Zhaohua County was deeply loved by the royal family. Chong, it is said that the Crown Prince of the dynasty and the King of Jia Jun obeyed her words. If Lu Yun had more experience, he would naturally understand the meaning, but he has either studied at home and practiced martial arts in his life, or lingered in the military camp, so after listening to it, he only felt in the clouds. In the fog, I don't know why.
But in any case, Lu Yun came to the conclusion that King Jiajun would never let him go, whether it was good intentions or malicious intentions, and his only way was to wait for King Jiajun to take action. There is no life, but if you are lucky, you may be able to take the opportunity to approach the target of assassination. So after receiving Li Lin's invitation, Lu Yun was annoyed by the commanding tone above and the look of the guards who came to invite you if you didn't go, but still agreed to go to the meeting.
Riding along the Suzaku Street, the buildings on both sides are majestic and majestic, dizzying, but Lu Yun didn't want to watch it, and he was about to enter the imperial city of Dayong, which made him both excited and frightened. From time to time on the road, he saw the imperial guards patrolling, and Lu Yun knew that this was because Emperor Yong's birthday was approaching, and the capital had strengthened its defenses. When they arrived at the Suzaku Gate, those guards were used to going in and out every day. They chatted and laughed with the guards guarding the gate, but they still had to hand over the token for verification. Lu Yun felt sad again. Jianye's imperial city guards were loose. ever seen.
After entering the Suzaku Gate, there is Chengtian Street, which is connected to Chengtian Gate. On both sides of the street are various yamen from the three provinces and six departments. On the side, that is Jingfengmen Street. After walking through Jingfengmen for a long time before entering Anxingfang, Qi Wangfu occupies almost a quarter of Anxingfang. King Jiajun has not yet opened his residence, so naturally he still lives in his father's residence. Lu Yun didn't know, in fact, with Li Lin's token, he could go directly from the corner gate of the imperial city through the street between Shengyefang and Chongrenfang to reach the Qi Wangfu.
However, it was specially arranged by Li Lin to let Lu Yun come in through this road. First, Lu Yun's identity is somewhat unclear after all, and he doesn't want him to be exposed to those shortcuts. Second, he also wants to give Lu Yun a show of power through the strict atmosphere on both sides of Suzaku Street. By the way, let's take a look at Lu Yun's bearing. Of course, in Li Lin In his mind, it was aimed at the young Yunlu of Southern Chu, not Lu Yun, the eldest son of the general Lu Can of Southern Chu, so he did not expect that although Lu Yun was also quite emotional, he was not intimidated at all, so when he saw Lu Yun's expression When it was still so calm and indifferent, it was a bit surprising. After all, for a commoner, the majesty of the imperial city was enough to make his mind be deterred and suppressed.
The place where Li Lin received Lu Yun was his residence, Jingu Garden. This is a relatively independent garden. It was originally the residence of King Li Xian of Qi. At the beginning, Li Xian and his concubine Qin Zheng had a feud, so he was unwilling to live in the inner house. King Qi was Li Yuan's most favored prince. When he opened his mansion, Li Yuan rewarded him with the most imperial estates, and even his palace was wider than that of Li An and Li Zhi. luxury. Although Li Xian can share weal and woe with the soldiers in the army, he still likes luxurious people, so the Golden Valley Garden where he has lived for many years is really prosperous and splendid. After Li Xian and Lin Bi got married, the husband and wife were in harmony, so they naturally moved back to the inner house. After Li Lin became the king of the county, although he had not yet opened the house because he was young, it was inconvenient to live in the inner house, so Li Xian moved Jin Gu. The garden gave it to Li Lin. Li Lin's temperament is more wild than Li Xian, and he doesn't care about these garden scenery, so he has never changed the layout of the garden, but when Prince Li Jun and Zhaohua County Lord Jiang Roulan came to play, they each chose their favorite places to stay. , and then forced Li Lin to rebuild it several times according to their wishes.
After Lu Yun walked into Jingu Garden, he couldn't help but be dazzled. Although the Lu family had been a gatekeeper for generations and had no worries about food and clothing, all the family owners in the past generations were honest and self-defeating, so the gardens in their homes were no better than ordinary officials, but after all, Lu Yun has also seen the world, and besides, he is not very greedy for glory and wealth, so he quickly settled down and followed the guards to Biyun Pavilion.
There is Longshou Canal in Jingu Garden, which gathers a pool of clear water. More than 90% of the buildings in the whole garden are built near the water. Fangyuan, there is a small two-story building with flying eaves on the mountain, only a winding mountain road paved with black stones can pass up and down. As long as a team of forbidden troops is guarded at the foot of the mountain, even if it is a first-class expert, don't think about entering and leaving casually.
Walking along the mountain road, Lu Yun's heart calmed down. With his knowledge of being a gatekeeper, he naturally knew that this was a Jedi that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a good place for house arrest prisoners. It was so troublesome, so Li Lin must have summoned him at his residence, which is also a kind of favor. Walking up to the top of the mountain, you can see at a glance that Biyun Pavilion is lonely and independent, surrounded by sparse and empty. Although the rockery is covered with thick soil, only some low evergreen shrubs are planted. At a glance, there is no spring. On the contrary, he felt that there was a kind of gloom in the late autumn, and the pavilion was as arrogant and domineering as the young man standing in front of the Zhulan with his hands behind his back, overlooking the blue waves.
Lu Yun walked behind Li Lin, bowed down and said, "Caomin Yunlu, I meet His Highness the King of Jiajun Chitose."
Li Lin didn't make him flat, and said coldly, "This king called you here, do you know what he meant?"
Lu Yun said neither humble nor arrogant: "Caomin offends His Highness, if His Highness punishes, Caomin will not complain."
Li Lin turned his head and laughed, his stern temperament was immediately destroyed by a childish smile, he came over and picked up Lu Yun and said: "It seems that I can't scare you, and being the king of Japan is also a little excited, and I can't help humiliating you. However, you were disrespectful to Zhaohua County Master that day. It is no wonder that this king is angry. Today, this king invites you to come here. First, I want to make amends for you. Second, I also want to see your archery skills. "
Even though Lu Yun was hostile, he felt warm in his heart. He said, no wonder this Jiajun King has such a reputation at such a young age. He stood up and said, "Please instruct the prince of the county."
Li Lin turned his eyes and said, "I don't have a school ground here. Zhaohua doesn't allow me to build it here, but I'm just looking at your archery. It's too troublesome to go to your father's school ground. You might hit that tree." After speaking, he pointed to a willow tree near the water in the distance. There was a hundred and fifty paces away from the rockery, and the height was very different. If you wanted to hit the willow tree, you must be a first-class archery.
Lu Yun's bow and arrow had been taken away by the guards, and he was about to ask Li Lin for it when he saw a guard came over with a pair of bows and arrows. As soon as Yun saw the bow, his eyes lit up, he picked it up and wiped it for a long time, and he couldn't put it down. After pulling the bow and empty string for a few times, he took three carved quilled arrows, drew the bow and shot, only to see the three wisps of black light flashed away, and the three carved quilled arrows actually shot on the same wicker stick. A hundred paces away, three consecutive arrows hit the wicker fluttering in the wind. This kind of archery can already be called a divine arrow. Li Lin's eyes were full of light, and he sighed. Still full of nostalgia, Li Lin said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Yun, your archery skills are really extraordinary. This bow is refined by the Ministry of Industry, and it is one of a thousand miles. Only such a treasured bow is worthy of your archery skills. Ben The king will give you this pair of bows and arrows, and you can't refuse."
Lu Yun loved this bow and arrow very much, and he also wanted to approach Li Lin, so he bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward from the prince, the grass people are ashamed to receive it."
Li Lin was overjoyed when he saw him being so forthright, and said, "How could an archery like you fall into the arena? I heard that you have no relatives in your hometown, why don't you stay by the king's side and be a bodyguard, I, Dayong, are strong and brave, and you have a future here. Xijin, so I don't want to be a slave to the ignorant ruler and traitor of Nanchu."
Lu Yun knew that Li Lin had inquired about his forged life experience from the caravan, and he deliberately said with a hesitant expression: "Caomin is from Southern Chu, and it is difficult to leave his homeland. Besides, I am afraid that it is a bit of a hindrance because of his background."
Li Lin smiled and said: "You are overthinking it, I am a big yonghai and I accept all rivers. I never care about such trivial matters of origin, let alone that you are from Southern Chu. Although the two countries have exchanged troops, they have been friends for many years. It is the original Northern Han Dynasty. Soldiers and soldiers, most of my hands are stained with the blood of my Dayong soldiers and civilians, and they are still reused today."
Lu Yun pretended that the block in his heart was eliminated, and said happily: "So the grass people will thank the prince of the county for his appreciation and support."
Li Lindao: "This is also your own ability. You are not too old, and it is not convenient for you to join the army now. So, you can stay by this king's side as a bodyguard. If there is a war in a few years, you can go with this king. Make a name for yourself, and in a while, you will write down your life experience and give it to my chief of guards, and when the Ministry of War Secretary Wen Cao has a palindrome, he will be a registered guard."
Lu Yun froze in his heart. Although this young prince loves talents, he is not a gullible person, but he thought to himself that if there is not a period of time, he will not be able to prove the truth of his life experience. Moreover, although his life experience is fake, it is also true. Not total nonsense. He claimed to be a native of Yunqiao Village in Jiangxia. Both his parents died. An uncle left his hometown many years ago. It is said that he was seen in Chang'an, so he came to look for relatives. This Jiangxia Yunqiao Village does exist, although it has nothing to do with Lu Yun. His own ancestral home is Wu County, and Jiangxia is the place his grandfather has guarded for many years, so Lu Yun is no stranger to the situation in Jiangxia Township. Besides, Nanchu has been adjacent to strong neighbors in recent years, and people from border villages have moved into Dayong everywhere, so his life experience is not completely unfounded. Moreover, Lu Yun claimed that because there was no crown ceremony at home that day, he did not have a name. There was only one nickname called Erlang. In Nanchu Village, if this nickname was called out, I was afraid that five or six of the ten people would agree, so Lu Yun did not Don't worry about being found out about his true identity, even if he finds some problems, according to his estimation, Li Lin will not necessarily kill himself as a spy. Besides, after this period of time, even if he couldn't succeed, he still had a chance to escape, so Lu Yun bowed his head and said yes, without showing a trace of panic.
Li Lin didn't find it strange when he saw that he was obedient. Although Lu Yun was very cold and arrogant that day, but after all, his status was very different. After recruiting an excellent young guard, he smiled and said: "Yun Lu, you don't have to be too polite, our house is not as strict as others, and after your identity is verified, this king will take you to see the father, he also wants to Look at your martial arts."
Lu Yun sighed in his heart. King Qi's reputation in Southern Chu could stop children from crying at night. At the beginning he fought in Jingxiang and killed countless people, but now he has pacified Northern Han. In Southern Chu's rumors, King Qi is synonymous with butcher. , Of course, in Lu Yun's mind, King Qi is one of his father's opponents.
In the following days, Lu Yun was left in Biyun Pavilion by Li Lin. Biyun Pavilion was Li Lin's dormitory. It was not appropriate to let Lu Yun, who had less experience, stay here, but there were no confidential documents here, so Li Lin Lin always arranges people like Lu Yun here first, which can not only play the role of house arrest, but also means that he is trusted.
On the occasion of Emperor Yong's birthday, the court was very busy, and Li Lin had to enter the palace to accompany the prince almost every day. Lu Yun's identity has not yet been ascertained, so naturally he could not enter the palace. Although Li Lin was not there, there was always a bodyguard by his side. Accompanying him, he even gently discouraged him from leaving Jingu Garden, but Lu Yun was shocked but could not do anything. A few days later, it was Emperor Yong's birthday, and the whole world celebrated. Li Lin was left in the East Palace by the crown prince. Lu Yun could only sit in the city of sorrow, and could not wait to give up the assassination and escape. However, the palace of Qi Wang was heavily guarded, and Lu Yun could not walk around casually at all. , I simply broke the pot, stayed in the Biyun Pavilion and did not go out. At most, my identity was doubtful, and I lost the opportunity to get close to the target.
On the third day after Emperor Yong's birthday, Lu Yun was summoned by Li Lin, who had returned from the palace. When Lu Yun walked in, he saw a middle-aged official standing with solemn hands, while Li Lin sat on the main seat and looked at the tissue paper in his hand. . This time, Li Lin was not wearing the black arrow suit he usually wears. Instead, he was wearing a county king's costume, apricot-yellow robe, and a golden crown. Although he was young, he was already quite tall. He looked majestic and had a royal atmosphere. . Seeing Lu Yun come in, he smiled and handed the tissue paper in his hand to Lu Yun, and said, "Although it's not guaranteed, but your identity is generally no problem."
Lu Yun suppressed the surprise in his heart and took the piece of tissue paper, with some tiny words written on it, recording the family background of a teenager in Xia Lu Village, Jiangxi, Southern Chu. His father is a junior general who was wounded and discharged from the army, and his mother is a lady from a scholarly family. Both parents have died of illness, and the family is scattered. There is an uncle whose whereabouts are unknown. Not yet crowned, nickname Erlang, but because there is no clan, so do not know the age. Lu Yun almost exclaimed, he didn't expect such a person to exist. Although it was somewhat different from his own description, he could basically be vague. While he was glad that his life experience would not cause any hindrance, Lu Yun couldn't help but secretly thank God.
Li Lin went to the tissue paper and said, "It's no wonder that your archery skills are outstanding. It turned out to be Ke Shaoqiqiu. Since your identity is no longer a problem, you can walk by my side from now on. Wang Yibin returns to Daizhou, you can go with me."
In Lu Yun's heart, if he saw off the Princess Hongxia, King Qi and Princess Jiaping would definitely go there. Seeing so many famous generals in one fell swoop, he couldn't help but look expectant.
