Li Qinghuan

Chapter 46

Fortunately, Ji Qing didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject casually: "My master and younger brother brought the disaster relief funds raised."

Song Li answered, "It's really hard for them."

Ji Qing: "It's not hard. My master's favorite thing is to run around and hang out all year round. It's an accident that I stayed in Yudu for more than half a year this time."

Song Li smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm tired of wandering outside."

Ji Qing shook his head: "That's not true, he was able to stay in Yudu for so long this time purely because he took in a new apprentice, and he trains his apprentice to play every day."

Song Li raised his eyebrows: "A new apprentice? Who is it? Didn't you bring it?"

Ji Qing: "I brought it, Luoyan."

Song Li was dumbfounded: "Your teacher...Uncle Yuan is really a good seedling, you won't let it go."

Ji Qing smiled: "That's not true, my master loves talent as much as his life. If your bones were not born in the royal family, you probably wouldn't be able to escape."

Song Li: "Haha, is that so?"

Ji Qing: "It's absolutely true."

Song Li was helpless: "I can't help it, otherwise I really want to see what kind of master can teach an apprentice like you."

Ji Qing: "It's okay, the future will last forever."

Song Li nodded, and talked about the business: "My brother should come here this time to take back Chen Zheng's military power."

Ji Qing became serious when he heard him talk about business: "Normally, if His Majesty wants to strengthen the army, the original balance in the court will be broken, and the civil servants will be weakened, and his original power will also be weakened. If you want to sit firmly With this throne, he can only gather military power."

Song Li was stunned when he heard this, indeed, his imperial brother has only been on the throne for four or five years.The foundation is still not stable, and the four major families are watching. He is now walking on the tip of a knife. If he takes a careless step, he will fall into the abyss. Song Li can understand him now, so even if he suffers some grievances occasionally I care very much.

But there is still one thing he doesn't understand: "But if Chen Zheng's military power is taken back, Chen Zheng will not be able to mobilize the garrison in Yongzhou's camp. What if something happens in Yongzhou and cannot be reported to Yudu in time?"

Ji Qing: "You don't have to worry too much about it. Even if your brother takes back the military power, Chen Zheng can still mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Yongzhou camp."

Song Li: "Why?"

Ji Qing: "If your brother takes back the military power from General He, do you think the Red Wing Army will listen to General He or your brother?"

Song Li understood: "The Red Wing Army will definitely listen to my grandfather."

The relationship between a general and a soldier is like the torso and the limbs. Even if the hand is removed from the body, the crippled hand cannot become someone else's hand.

Song Li smiled: "I was worrying too much."

Ji Qing said again: "However, one situation cannot be ruled out."

Song Li responded, "Change generals."

Ji Qing: "Not bad."

Song Li: "But if the general is changed, the new general will still have contact with the soldiers after a long time. Should we change again?"

Ji Qing: "That's not a question of whether to change or not, maybe it's not necessarily down at all."

Song Li: "You mean the rotation system?"

Ji Qing nodded: "That's right."

Song Li: "The disadvantages are too great."

Ji Qing agreed: "Indeed."

Song Li: "If the general and the soldiers don't cooperate well, it's like fighting with others without listening to their hands and feet. How can we resist foreign enemies?"

Ji Qing nodded: "But for your imperial brother, this is the best way, the best way to ensure the stability of power in his hands. You don't know how much Wei has been afraid of generals for hundreds of years. But now the situation is forcing him, and he has no choice, the Donghu is about to move, the southwest bandits are rampant, and even the group of short winter melons in the East Sea want to get in their way."

Hearing what he said, Song Li chuckled, "Short wax gourd?"

Ji Qing tilted his head and said with a smile, "Isn't it?"

Song Li nodded, haha ​​said: "You are right."

Ji Qing's teasing turned into teasing, and when the teasing was over, he corrected his expression and said, "So the prerequisite for your brother to increase his troops and strengthen his general must be to absolutely gather the military power in his own hands, otherwise he will be causing trouble for himself and burying hidden dangers."

Song Li didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently: "It shouldn't be, power is not as important as ordinary people."

Seeing his innocent look, Ji Qing smiled and didn't say any more.Changed the topic casually: "Master Zhou and the others have already arrived in Yangcheng, and Yangcheng is the last stop."

Song Li nodded: "The action was pretty fast, didn't there be any big trouble?"

Ji Qing shook his head: "No, although Mr. Zhou looks gentle, he has always acted vigorously and resolutely when it comes to business. This time it is about the people. He has always loved the people like a son and is upright. With him in charge, there will be no major disturbances."

Song Li sighed, and said sullenly, "I really didn't expect that this trip to Canglan County would take so long, and I would even get injured."

Ji Qing was a little scared when he heard him mentioning the injury: "Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I don't know what I should do."

Song Li's face became hot, and he hesitated and said: "Ha, haha, yes, yes, as long as we are all fine."

Ji Qing turned his head to look at him, and smiled slightly.

Song Li stared at the sparkling water in a daze for a moment, probably because of injury, too much blood loss and lack of energy, Song Li started to be in a daze as soon as he rested.

After a while, he came back to his senses and turned to look at Ji Qing. Looking at Ji Qing's pale lips, Song Li remembered that he wanted to ask the teacher for his crimes, and said viciously, "By the way, why are you back? You are so hurt and you are so anxious to come back to work." Well? Do you think you have a long life?"

When Ji Qing heard his last words, he burst out laughing "puchi".

Song Li was stunned by his smile, and the fierceness that had been forcibly piled up on his face disappeared, and he asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

Ji Qing explained: "I just heard Gao Yangsu say the exact same thing this morning.

Song Li: "What's so funny? Seriously, why are you coming back in such a hurry?"

Ji Qing cleared his throat and said seriously, "I'm worried about you coming back alone."

Song Li was puzzled: "What is there to worry about?"

Ji Qing waved his hand, too lazy to explain: "You don't understand."

Song Li stretched out his hands under the eaves of the corridor, his pale hands soaked in the sunlight.Song Li looked at his hands, as if he didn't care, and said, "I don't feel relieved that you came back alone after being so seriously injured. You didn't even know that I saw you fainted in the dungeon last night. How scary it was."

Hearing this, Ji Qing remembered what he did to the magistrate of Canglan County in the dungeon last night and was bumped into by Song Li, his face turned pale in an instant, and he said incoherently: "A Li, I, I, I don't want you, I no…"

Song Li interrupted him: "Heming, you don't need to say anything, you don't need to explain anything to me, what I want to talk about is not that matter, I'm just worried about your body, after all, you have injuries."

Ji Qing was silent for a while, then whispered: "I was in the dungeon yesterday...you saw it all?"

Song Li didn't understand why he said this, but nodded anyway.

Ji Qing: "A Li, I..."

Song Li raised a finger and put it on Ji Qing's lips: "I said, you don't need to explain, I only believe what I see and know you, you don't need to explain anything to me."

Ji Qing's heart sank after hearing what he said, and said lightly, "I see."

After Ji Qing said this, he turned around and left, leaving Song Li standing alone in a daze, thinking: "What does he understand? Why did he leave suddenly?"

He thought about it, but he still had to ask clearly. Ji Qing was a very thoughtful person. If he didn't explain clearly to him, he might have to think about something else. He hadn't chased him a few steps before he was stopped by a person who hurried over: " My lord, something happened to the shelter, the villain didn't see Mr. Ji, and Mr. Zhou is not here, so I can only come to you, please follow me to have a look."

Ji Qing walked very fast, and when Song Li came back to his senses, he could no longer see the figure. Song Li had no choice but to look in the direction he was leaving, and then followed the person who came to report to do business.

Now that the refugees in Yuncheng can eat and clothe themselves warmly, have shelter from the wind and rain, and their houses are being rebuilt, even if there is a disturbance, it should be nothing serious.

Song Li soon arrived at the shelter, the scene was chaotic, the open space was full of people, a few rough old men were stopped by a group of people, and they were still swearing at some officials, and their language was filthy. The official waited for a long time and finally couldn't take it anymore, rushed up and started fighting with those strong men.

To say that there are many people in this refugee shelter, it is not that there have been conflicts with each other, but it is the first time to fight with people from the government. Song Li was injured and lacked energy, very tired, and distracted from coping Seeing a group of people huddled together in a mess, I felt even more irritable, and said loudly: "Stop it!"

The voice wasn't too loud, and the momentum wasn't too strong, but it carried a sacred and inviolable majesty. As soon as the words fell, the movements of the two groups of people who were fighting stopped and looked at him in unison.

Song Li took a few steps forward: "What are you doing?"

An official sent a strong man under him. Seeing that it was Song Li, he loosened the collar of the strong man, turned his head to spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and stood up: "Have you seen Yu?" His Royal Highness!"

The other officials also stood up when they heard the sound: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yu!"

Song Li frowned, and asked again: "What are you doing?"

Those people panicked when they saw his expression, and quickly knelt down: "My lord, forgive me, my lord, forgive me!"

Song Li: "Are you good at it? Dare to fight with the victims, you guys, go clean the stables of the three-month government office!"

The faces of the officials turned bitter in an instant, but they didn't dare to refute, and said in unison: "Obey."

Song Li stood here, and those strong men stopped making trouble, and stood up with each other supporting each other.

Song Li pinched his eyebrows, pointed at someone casually and asked, "Tell me, why did you fight?"

The man pointed to himself tremblingly: "Me?"

Song Li nodded.

The man had no choice but to say: "Da Mao and the others heard that the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court to our refugees were swallowed up by the government, so they wanted to ask these officials, and these officials said no, they didn't believe it, so they kept asking , as a result, these officials were angered, and they started fighting."

A short-tempered official next to him immediately became angry when he said this, and cursed: "Fart! They didn't ask at all! They just scolded me as a dog official when they came up, let alone me, and even scolded my parents, wife and children! I've provoked someone! You're going to turn me upside down again!"

Song Li scolded: "Shut up for me! Did I let you speak?"

The official hurriedly apologized, but Song Li ignored him, and said to the man: "Where did you hear that the disaster relief funds were swallowed up by the government?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know, we also heard from others."

Song Li was dizzy, just wanted to settle the matter quickly, nodded and said: "Okay, it's fine. Please rest assured that the government will never swallow everyone's life-saving money out of conscience. If there is such a person, I will The king will never tolerate it."

Song Li added: "But this king never wants to see people making trouble in the shelter again."
