"These words... Ning Yi and Ning Liheng taught you?"
In the imperial study room, the whole room was full of light. Hearing the emperor's question, Han Jing was slightly stunned: "Ning Yi?"
Zhou Zhe stared at him without speaking.
Han Jing knelt there, his expression seemed a little flustered for a while, and he couldn't understand the feeling: "Your Majesty, this person Ning Yi... is a businessman."
"Well, so what."
"Then... he's a businessman..." Han Jing's expression became complicated, as if he didn't understand Zhou Zhe's reason for mentioning Ning Yi at this time, he sorted out his thoughts, "No, don't hide it from Your Majesty, Lu Liangshan originally For food, this Mr. Ning came over when we were doing business and had a good relationship with me, Lu Liangshan. After entering the capital, I also had contacts. But... But today's matter, Your Majesty, he... He is a businessman... "
"He has a good relationship with the Right Party." Zhou Zhe put his hands on his back, was silent for a moment, and said to himself, "Yes, I think wrongly, although he is good, he has never really touched the officialdom, but he is in the public eye. Working behind the scenes…”
Han Jing didn't know if he should answer the question or not. After a while, Zhou Zhe pointed at him: "Han Jing, based on this incident, I should really kill you."
Han Jing shrank back.
"But you, the people of Qingmu Village in Luliang Mountain, can have such fighting power, it is precisely because of this kind of affection, without this kind of blood, without this kind of reckless spirit, I am afraid that you will become the same as others. But Han Jing, in any case, the capital is a place where rules are followed. There are some things that cannot be done. If you want to compromise, you say. What should I do with you?"
"Chen, minister... I don't know... Please forgive me."
"Sin, it must be punished!" Zhou Zhe emphasized, "However, how to combine this rashness with the rules, you have to find a way with me. Regarding you, some should change, some should not, I haven't fully figured out where to go in the middle of this. You are a big sin this time, but... Lao Qin... "
He raised his head and paused slightly: "Old Qin's family. They died before leaving the capital. It's really cold that these people can't wait! Han Jing, you used to follow Qin Shaoqian in the Wu Rui camp. How about Qin Shaoqian? What do you think? you know?"
"General Qin... I think he's actually a good man..."
"Yeah, he's a good man." Zhou Zhe didn't refute, "I understand, he's not bad for the people below, but in order to win the battle, he borrowed his father's power. He took all the good things under his command, and the rest This is the rule, but this time, his father passed away, and he was cut off to both ends. I am saddened and saddened. Sad, sad that their family died. Sad that... these living officials, intrigue. They left their country and country to nothing!"
"Han Qing, you are in the future. Don't become such a powerful minister."
Zhou Zhe took a breath and walked slowly to the desk: "Get up, I'll make up a note for you about this matter. You know, I'm seeing you alone this time, Tan Zhen, Li Bingwen, Cao Fangxiu and others, I have come a long time ago. I will give you a thorough understanding. Li Bingwen did not speak ill of you. He treats you as a brother, but other people, it is their duty to impeach you, and you should not hold grudges in your heart, do you know? "
"Yes."
"Didn't I tell you to get up?" Zhou Zhe frowned.
"The sinner dare not."
"Get up when you get up, otherwise, I'm going to be angry." Zhou Zhe waved his hand, "I have a few things to ask you more."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Only then did Han Jing stand up, and Zhou Zhe nodded with a smile on his face.
"I heard that this Lin Zongwu is known as the number one expert in the world? Is it true or not?"
"Yes." Han Jing nodded, "There is a rumor among the green forests that his Great Bright Sect was formerly known as Manichaeism. And this time he entered Beijing, there are people behind him..."
"I know these things in my mind, but don't talk nonsense." Zhou Zhe gave a simple lesson, and when Han Jing nodded, he was satisfied, "I heard that when he entered Beijing this time, the people he brought with him, They are all masters.”
"Yes."
"How did you treat him?"
"He was injured and fled, but the disciples under his command were waited for by me... I killed seven to eighty-eight..."
"Haha." Zhou Zhe laughed, "No. 1 in the world, in front of our cavalry, you have to run away. How about your casualties?"
"Also... Several people were killed and injured..." Han Jing hesitated, then added, "Five brothers died, some were injured..."
Zhou Zhe pursed his lips, and then said: "They are all martyrs, so you must take good care of them. Although you all went out to the camp for the sake of the master, but this time, the money will come out of the palace. However, you have to make a good agreement with everyone. , I admire what your big bosses have done, but such unruly things can never be done again. If there is another time, I will have to endure the pain just like I did to the Qin family... Investigate you."
After Han Jing answered, Zhou Zhecai nodded again and said with a smile: "There is another point, I am a little strange, you love the head of Lu so much, why is it you who come to see me every time, not the head of Lu himself? Woolen cloth?"
Han Jing hesitated for a moment: "... The head of the family is a woman after all. Therefore, these matters are all told by the ministers... It is definitely not disrespectful to His Majesty... "
"Hahahaha." Zhou Zhe laughed open-mindedly, "I understand, I understand. Don't worry about Han Qing, I understand it all. You are the head of the family, you are an admirable and admirable female heroine and hero, and I understand it. Today's matter, if she comes over, we may not be able to talk to each other. Lu Liangshan, all my people, you have suffered for many years, it is my fault, but the past is over, there is no need to look back. Now Jurchen is wild, mountains and rivers are turbulent, but it is not a chance for a man to make achievements, Han Jing, you are good at guarding this world for me, I will not let you down, and I will be like the king of Guangyang County in the future.
Zhou Zhe originally had some doubts about the cavalry in Qingmu Village. Between Han Jing and Lu Hongti, he didn't know which leader had the final say. He was suddenly enlightened. Luliangshan Qingmu Village was originally developed by Lu Hongti, but after it has grown, how can women lead the pack. In the end, it was Han Jing and the others who had the final say, but the girl Lu had a very high prestige, and everyone in the village accepted her affection and respected her very much.
In this way, for Han Jing and other people in real power. I gave both kindness and power to Lu Hongtina and others, and I only needed to add all kinds of favors and favors to Lu Hongtina.
Thinking about these things clearly made him quite happy. When I thought of Ning Yi earlier, it was just a flash of light in my heart, when Han Jing looked puzzled. He regretted it.
His previous interest in Ning Yi was mainly because he had not seen Li Shishi several times. Later, when he saw Li Shishi performing for the soldiers in the city head, he also had mixed emotions in his heart. However, Master Li already has a sweetheart. He is the emperor, how can he be jealous. He got to know Ning Yi in detail, a scholar, but he went to do business and tossed with all kinds of little tricks under the right minister. Since he is an emperor, he should use people without distinction. Qin Siyuan was dead, and in the future let him kneel in front of him as a clown and use him. If you make a mistake, just wipe it away.
How can I really care about such a person, and even if the right-hand man falls, how can he easily kill him because of such emotions. But if he does something wrong in the future, he will not tolerate it.
Because of such emotions, he often noticed this name. I don't want to think about it too much. Wouldn't it seem that he attached great importance to him speaking Ning Yi to the general who attached importance to him on such a formal occasion. After the exit, Han Jing's expression was puzzled. He felt a little ashamed of himself: Are you doing such things at the instigation of a businessman
Gee, what a waste.
Fortunately, Han Jing also knew that he had made a big mistake, and he was nervous in his heart, so he should not have noticed anything.
After that, he knew the general situation of this Luliang cavalry, and when he had a breakthrough, he was happy how to adjust this Luliang cavalry, so that they would not lose their wildness, but they could hold it firmly, and even developed more of this kind of cavalry. The arrival of a high-quality army is actually the biggest thing he thinks recently, because there is no law here. As for Qin Siyuan's death, the alternation of various powers, even if there is such a big incident near Gyeonggi, all kinds of food looks ugly, according to the rules Go do it, beat the beat, that's it.
After chatting with Han Jing for a while, Zhou Zhe let him go back to appease the army, and by the way gave him a note to send troops. As for Tan Zhen, Li Bingwen and others, they will not be arranged to meet in the palace, lest they have to persuade them to fight again.
Han Jing took a few personal soldiers out of the capital on light cavalry. When he passed a courtyard, he saw that a small mourning hall had been erected in the distance. He sighed slightly...
After he left the city, the atmosphere in the capital seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and in this night, it was so hazy that people could not see clearly.
****************
Nearly 2,000 cavalrymen left the camp without military orders, and then slaughtered blood in the field. This kind of thing is usually considered a big event.
Qin Siyuan's problem involved too wide a range. There were not many big families in the capital, and a few ministers with the highest status. The news came that another high-ranking official entered the palace, and those at the core of power were all guessing what might happen next. As for the lower part, similar to Chen Qinghe, Tie Tianying and other arresting heads, they also returned to Beijing early to do a good job. Get ready. When the bad news of Qin Siyuan's family was introduced to the capital, the situation was obviously more complicated.
This time, no matter which party is to be dealt with above, there is obviously a reason.
That night, however, things were tensing up there, with no follow-up. Either the emperor has not yet made a decision, or a few powerful officials are still negotiating in private, and everyone is watching the limelight, daring not to act rashly.
Zhuxian Town was 30 to 40 miles away from the capital. Although the news of Qin Siyuan, Qin Shaoqian and others' deaths was reported to the capital that night, the bodies never arrived. As for the group of people who were dispatched to save Qin Siyuan that night, who had mastered the last strength of the Qin mansion, they only followed the carriage containing the corpse slowly.
After the Jurchen left, although Bianliang became prosperous again, the city gate was still closed at night. Qin Siyuan's body followed Ning Yi and the others to the south gate of Bianliang in the early morning. When the door opened in the early morning, they drove into the city. Tie Tianying and others were already waiting there.
At this time, the early morning has already begun, and once the matter is finalized, he will be able to take action. Ning Yi and the others came in while protecting the corpse, with a cold expression, as if they didn't want to do anything more, and soon after, they transported the corpse into the small mourning hall.
The tree fell and scattered. The wall fell and everyone pushed. Although Qin Siyuan had covered the coffin, there were probably not many people who dared to come to pay his respects at this time. After dawn, Tie Tianying received news that the cavalry had left the camp. It was taken lightly by the top.
However, things are not over yet. In this early morning, the first person to come to pay homage, unexpectedly, was Tong Guan. He went in to see the mourning hall of Qin Siyuan and others, and when he came out, he called Ning Yi first. Talk to the side.
In the courtyard room not far from the mourning hall, the conversation went like this:
"Because of you, this king didn't sleep well last night! You can hide it from others, can you hide it from me? It has nothing to do with you when the 1,800 Luliang cavalry left the camp? You can hide it from the world?"
"Just to save Qin Xiang's life..."
"You! Saved?"
"It's the right thing to do. Qin Xiang really did his best, he shouldn't end up like this..."
"However, for what he should do, he still used the wrong method. Lessons from the past are the lessons from the past!"
"But I didn't expect that the first person who came to pay homage would be the prince..."
"Humph! This king... ah..."
"In order to protect Prime Minister Qin, I have exhausted all means, and now. After all, I have fallen short..."
"what do you want to say?"
"Before Prime Minister Qin left, there were some things that many people wanted. I'm just a businessman. When Prime Minister Qin left, I couldn't keep it. The things are... here."
"... You want to kill someone with a knife!? This king's commander wants you!?"
"The lord is the least involved here, and he is the least afraid of things. This is the cause and effect of Qin Xiang's stay. It is not good for anyone to touch it. The lord wants to use it. Or burn it, you can do what you want."
"… "
Tie Tianying thought that at least Tong Guan would be angry about the cavalry. However, he really couldn't figure out the big man's mind, and it was not long after he negotiated with Ning Yi privately. The prince also walked away calmly.
As for Ning Yi's side, Tong Guan will no longer pursue it. Regarding the army, Zhou Zhe in the palace has memorized the book. After that, the only order is to arrest the murderer who assassinated Qin Siyuan. It is true that the total catcher in the green forest is a evil star, but it is not easy to move to the level of Lin Zongwu. In recent decades, the only great master who was moved by them was Liu Dabiao alone.
And in this, Lin Zongwu really suffered a big loss. He originally had the support of the senior officials in Beijing. After he wanted to assassinate Qin Siyuan, he became famous all over the world. , Who knew that when he ran into the army head-on, the masters in the teaching were killed in seven or eighty-eight ways, and if he wanted to enter the capital next, it would be in vain for a while.
In addition to Lin Zongwu, several big families of secret supporters in Beijing also suffered losses. It was even more bleak and unreasonable to go to the wilderness to watch the lively green forest master. However, in this battle, many things that have emerged in the dark are really moving. Some felons who have long been wanted by the capital, including the remnants of the saint and others, have entered Beijing one after another. A good sign is coming.
After Qin Siyuan's death, the division of power must have to be a fierce competition before it can be stabilized again.
And Tie Tianying never believed that Ning Yi would stay out of this chaos. He took refuge with Tong Guan or which was the next thing. The important thing was that he slaughtered half of Liangshan for the sake of a hundred people in his family. , this time, he will definitely turn back for revenge!
However, due to the gentle handling of the top, coupled with the death of the Qin family, and the care of Tong Guan intentionally or unintentionally, the affairs on Ning Yi's side temporarily faded out of most people's sight.
In the next few days, people occasionally came to worship in the mourning hall. Ning Yi spent some money to set up some stage at the entrance of the alley, and then called up his performers, either telling stories or singing opera, and the children nearby occasionally came to listen to it. Look, the stage also gave out candy. These performances are also measured, most of them perform shows that make people laugh from ear to ear, and storytellers will never talk about tragic and solemn, but only tell stories that have nothing to do with world affairs. Summer is sunny or rainy. Some children come here, but they are pulled back by the adults who heard that it is the funeral of a traitor. When it rains, there are not many people, but the performance on the stage continues. , In the deep and shallow shade of the summer tree, I heard the sound of the erhu over there, and the singer was singing.
"The waters of the Yangtze River are rolling in the east, and the waves have washed away the heroes... The success or failure has turned into nothing. The green hills are still there, the sunset is red several times... The white-haired fisherman is on the river Nagisa, I used to watch the autumn moon and the spring breeze... "
The singing was desolate, and it was funny in the laughter stories. When I heard "How many things in ancient and modern times, they are all in laughter talk", I didn't realize that I burst into tears. The summer was bright, but the wind and rain were vast. After saying goodbye to Qin Siyuan, who was guarding the city, he had to leave, taking the remains of his younger brother and heading back to the northwest.
The rest of the senior officials in Beijing didn't care about this little thing after Qin Siyuan's death. At this time, he was still a traitor and could not talk about right and wrong, and could only say "empty". Now that they talk about right and wrong, success and failure turn their heads, and these people will leave it behind even more. People with such ideas can't play in the political arena.
Only Tie Tianying was not fooled by such an atmosphere. After Qin Siyuan and Qin Shaoqian's first seven passed, Ning Yi and others buried the family without disturbing too many people. At this time, all matters in Beijing have returned to the chaotic and busy normal, and the Ministry of Punishment has made great efforts to investigate the remnants of Manichaeism who have come from the north. There are also many cases of various kinds, and the investigation has always been slow, but Tie Tianying still arranged manpower to monitor the movements of Zhuji.
In the general direction, after the fall of Taiyuan, the establishment of the Yellow River line of defense has become the biggest strategic move in Beijing in the recent past. All forces in China are fighting for it. On the other hand, there is a vacancy for the right prime minister, and the new candidate has not yet been decided. This is also a big pie. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of the left prime minister that Li Gang has been struggling to support will probably not last long.
Because of the threat of Jurchen, the army is the top priority. All the leaders in Beijing are looking for ways to innovate. The Wurui Camp outside the city has been held in the limelight at this time. The more cautious the parties are to attack this army. These are big things. After Ning Yi buried Qin Siyuan, he began to lean towards Tong Guan's lineage in a great direction, and Zhu Ji began to move again, but he had just entered Tong Guan's circle. The vitality of his own bamboo record.
Because of this and that, among the many major events, what Zhuji was doing really seemed insignificant, and many things of the members of Zhuji seemed to be aimless for a while. After Qin Siyuan's death, Ning Yi's behavior also seemed a lot strange. Tie Tianying occasionally saw him go out, look at the cloth, talk about business, and do something more boring than before. During this period of time, I can't guess. Find out what he was thinking.
There are more and more things in the Ministry of Punishment. When the middle of May was almost over, Zong Feixiao was also deployed back to Beijing. At noon that day, the two met near the cloth shop that Ning Yi often went to recently, went to the restaurant, and chatted about recent things... ()
