Chapter 161: Nothing You Can't Know

Jing Wan calmly continued to eat. ︾︾︾novel

As for whether she is really calm with a broad heart or pretending to be calm, only she knows.

Li Hongyuan wanted to feed Jingwan wholeheartedly, and put the rest aside, whether it was Princess Heyang or the situation at the border. What he changed was mainly in the Qiyuan Imperial City. Except for Jingwan, the others were secretly gathering forces, secretly changing the pattern of the court - the bright side is actually not much different from the previous life, the biggest change is probably Luo Peishan, in his previous life, he always acted in a low-key manner, and basically did not participate in the struggle for succession; outside the imperial city, there were naturally also officials mobilized, but everything was under control, and there was no situation for the time being; There are a lot of spies in various countries, but these people are strictly collecting information, and they are not allowed to act rashly without orders, and these people don’t even know who their real masters are. So far, the situation outside Qiyuan is basically no change.

Therefore, there is no need to tell Princess Yang about the situation on the border in the west. He also knows what is going on. It is just a small problem, but this small problem is within Qiyuan. disaster.

It is nothing more than the problem of greed for the army's salaries, layer upon layer of exploitation, and in the end there are few left in the hands of the soldiers. As a result, these soldiers have joined forces with the local military households that have operated for two or three generations, and acted as local snakes, squeezing ordinary people, because The trouble was not small, and it went up to the sky. His father sent someone to deal with it, and the old ninth and tenth who were sent to the court were appointed as imperial envoys, but one of the two people took refuge in the eldest, the other was the third, and the second People are not too young, and their respective Yue families are also big-hearted. They are secretly arrogant, and naturally they have thoughts. Therefore, they disagree on this matter. Then, because of the provocation of people with intentions, there was a riot. The emperor's son, the prince of Qiyuan, was injured in the riot, and the other was arrested.

The DPRK is divided into two factions, one advocates appeasement, the other advocates repression. Chengdi is an emperor who doesn't like fighting. He finally decides to appease, but he must not appease the culprit who caused the riot. After all, this matter made him lose face. , but the imperial envoy sent again was still on the way, and the border conflict escalated again. The angry mob chopped off an arm of the old ten, and the local garrison took control without authorization and took bloody suppression.

If there is repression, there will naturally be resistance. It’s just that the opponent is a civilian, and even if it caused some threats to the garrison at the beginning, the consequences are self-evident. Moreover, the garrison had a violent temper, and finally ordered to kill the old and weak women and children together. One can imagine how big the shock was.

More importantly, news of this matter was leaked from the very beginning. Under the arrangement of someone with a heart, it was like growing wings, so that almost everyone in Qiyuan knew about it, which led to unstable people's hearts and even the Li Dynasty. Its dominance has been questioned, and the house leaked every night with rain, and not long afterward, there was a major flood in the south, and millions of people were affected. few.

The calamity that fell from the sky, in the end, it was Emperor Cheng who took the blame.

Emperor Cheng's guilt has not yet been issued, okay, the victims rose up and robbed the local granary, and those wealthy households and many officials did not end well.

In the end, it was natural to send troops, but it didn't take long, and the chaos was settled in about a month.

Fortunately, other places were already prepared, and the enemy country did not take the opportunity to attack Qiyuan. After all, even if Qiyuan had a civil strife, it was within the controllable range. If a piece of meat comes, it depends on whether you have that ability.

After this incident, Emperor Cheng's face was gloomy for a long time.

It was thought that the enemy country was behind the trouble, but the final result was that it was completely internal chaos.

Li Hongyuan was far less favored than he is now in his previous life, because he is excellent, has a good reputation, and is qualified to compete for the throne, and his father should have felt guilty for him, but because of his outstandingness, he is not very popular, because he is a The devil, regarded as ominous, was not qualified to think about that position at all, but he didn't know it himself, and he was quite sad for a time.

And after this incident, his father hated seeing him even more. At first, he was inexplicable. What does this have to do with him? Gradually, some rumors about his biological mother were quietly spreading. His biological mother was the Pei family of the first wealthy family in Jiangnan and was the direct daughter. The Pei family was loyal to the previous royal family, but the Pei family did not want to be loyal to the new master, so they reached an agreement with the new emperor and returned to Jiangnan. . But there is no evidence for all this. It should be noted that the Taizu personally decreed that unless the Pei clan committed a serious crime of rebellion, the emperor of the Li clan should not embarrass the Pei family.

There is no evidence, which means that you can't touch the Pei family. Even if you want to do something secretly, it's not that easy, because the Pei family has flourished in the Jiangnan generation. The Pei family has produced a lot of famous scholars, and these people have many disciples, but many of these disciples have become officials in the court. Do you think that the Pei family will have no influence if they do not enter the officialdom? Innocent!

Moreover, the Pei family's reputation among the common people is also very high. If you move the Pei family, it means that the entire Jiangnan will follow, and a large number of officials may be dismissed. It's better than the Sun family's big family with Duke Dingguo.

No one or any emperor would like such a huge and uncontrolled family. Li Hongyuan, the son of Pei family blood, was naturally angry at this time.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as the beginning of Li Hongyuan's change of fate.

But now, when Princess Heyang knew a little drizzle through her Rouge Pavilion, Li Hongyuan had already arranged everything, and he still didn't change the overall situation.

, just controlled the person who fanned the flames and planned everything behind his back, and will probably be sent to the capital soon. The person who was said to have died early in the previous life, Li Hongyuan wants to see if he is from the Pei family. . Mother family? Oh, the tyrant Li Hongyuan cut most of the branches of the Pei clan.

The one who went to deal with this matter is probably the old nine and the ten. He has already lifted the biggest calamity, so I don’t know what the outcome will be for them. If it is better, they will probably return with merit, and if it is worse, they will smash things and come back. , probably is trained, and then or may be abandoned by their respective refugees, and this life will be over.

As for the flood in the south, he made preparations two years ago, and the dams had already been reinforced in the Guanjian area. Although it was impossible to completely prevent the flood, the serious consequences of the disaster could be reduced by at least 60%.

As for those who want to take advantage of this chaos, he has already laid out a plan. As long as the other party dares to make a move, he will immediately become a turtle in the urn.

Seeing that Li Hongyuan was in a trance, Jingwan didn't bother him, but seeing him drinking cup after cup without knowing it, and not eating anything at all, would definitely hurt his stomach. In the end, it was her fiance, who had hugged and lingered together before, and was quite pampering and pampering her. After hesitating for a while, "My lord, drinking on an empty stomach hurts the most, so it's better to drink less, otherwise eat something first."

Li Hongyuan looked at her with a smile, as if he had never been distracted, "Is Jiaojiao caring about this king?"

Jing Wan also smiled, she didn't have the "pitiful" appearance of being bullied before. "It's not impossible for the lord to think so."

"It's really not easy to hear something nice from Jiaojiao's mouth. Okay, stop drinking." He threw the cup away. Pick up the chopsticks and eat something hastily. "Is Jiaojiao ready to eat?"

Generally speaking, if the other party eats well, she will eat "good", and if the other party doesn't eat well, she will continue to "eat" with her, but she thinks that they are only unmarried, and he is so indulgent to her. It was a bit surprising, so I chose "willful" once and nodded, "The minister has already eaten."

Li Hongyuan put down his chopsticks, approached Jingwan, and laughed jokingly, "Jiaojiao has laid out all the rules now, it wasn't like this before, pinching and biting on this king, and she was too timid. Tell this king to shut up?"

Jing Wan blushed, what should I say? What's the matter, still want to settle accounts with her now? Jingwan didn't speak, just looked at him so quietly, she was not a native girl who was conservative after all, this has already happened, and she was ashamed, and it would be boring to hold on to it any longer.

Li Hongyuan was worried that she would be annoyed. It would be difficult to eat her mouth in the future, so he stretched out his hand to squeeze her face, "This king really can't do anything about you." mouth.

Li Hongyuan already wanted to help Jing Wan wash her hands, but Jing Wan avoided and refused. He raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

"Forget the rest, bring this Buddha bead." Li Hongyuan went to the Buddha bead and wrapped it around Jingwan's wrist. "—Let's go, this king will send you back." In fact, if possible, I would like to keep Jingwan for a while, but the time is not short, which annoyed Mrs. Luo, and met him with Jing before marriage. Wan is also disadvantageous.

Although it was said that more intimate things had been done, this kind of intimacy still left Jing Wan at a loss. They used to only meet a few times, and it doesn't make sense for them to become so close all of a sudden. Although most of them are unilateral actions by Prince Jin, he seems to be very familiar with himself, and what he does seems to be natural and casual, and no one will meet him. feel like a "stranger". "Except for the third sister-in-law of the minister and daughter, does the prince treat all his fiancées like this?" Jing Wan asked curiously.

Really, just pure curiosity.

Li Hongyuan glanced at her and said indifferently, "This king is not familiar with them, and I have never met more than half of them."

So the topic stopped and did not continue.

Li Hongyuan held her hand and walked slowly in line with her pace. "Next door is a yard that is about the same size as this, and in front of it is the Rouge Pavilion. This was originally the place where Yunniang used to be. I'm going to rebuild it."

Jingwan knew that Prince Jin was revealing to her something about Mixin, so she only had ears but not a mouth.

"Jiaojiao, you and I have a day, you don't need to be so careful, there's nothing you can't know about my affairs."

"Many thanks to the lord for your love, but the courtier thinks it's not the time yet."

Li Hongyuan sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

After getting on the carriage, Li Hongyuan still pulled her into his arms and hugged her, just simply hugging her.

He sent Jingwan back to Luo's house, and when she saw her entering the door and her figure disappeared, he was sent to leave in a carriage.

Instead of going to find Yunniang, he went directly back to the palace. In front of the gate of the palace, there was a distinguished guest waiting for him.

"The old minister has seen the prince."

"Master Shoufu went to the office very early today." Li Hongyuan sat on the carriage, but just lifted the curtain and did not intend to get off.

"There's nothing to do today." So Qiyuan's officials were relatively free, and they could occasionally leave early after finishing their work.

"What's the matter with this king?"

"If the lord is dissatisfied with the little girl, you can ask the sage to take it back. Why should you humiliate her like this?" Ruan Ruizhong said as calmly as possible. God knows how distressed he is when he comes home and sees his wife and daughter crying and swollen.

Li Hongyuan sneered, "Sir Ruan has always been dissatisfied with this king. You have to be a good minister, so you won't be able to resist the decree. Why should this king be the disobedient son? To brand yourself as a loyal minister of the king and the country, you can give up for this. In order to save the happiness of his beloved daughter, he has to bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial. Do you really think that it doesn't matter how much sewage is all over your body? Ruan Ruizhong

, the double loyalty standard should not be too obvious. "

Ruan Ruizhong blushed, what Li Hongyuan said was not entirely right, but not entirely wrong. His lips trembled slightly, "The little girl is your fiancee. The lord knows that she has always been in love with you, so he didn't talk about marriage."

"This king's fiancée is named Luo. She didn't discuss marriage, it was you who condoned her, and if you were optimistic about this king, you wouldn't wait until today. Ruan Ruizhong, don't put the blame on this king. Besides, it hurts your face and hasn't raised it yet. Just run out, she just doesn't stop like this? If you change to other girls, I'm afraid they will be embarrassed at home, just her, the opposite way, such a person, the good name put on her, makes this king very Suspect."
