The devil is coming

Chapter 657 Siblings meet
Yanjing City;
The officials of Dayan have holidays, but the princes of Dayan do not have statutory holidays in the strict sense.
Of course, you can also take a break. No one except your father can punish you if you take a break;
But to put it bluntly,
This world belongs to your Ji family,
It's unjustifiable that you Ji family members don't care about it.
Ji Chengjue rubbed his eyes and said he had to go back to the office.
In fact, the household department has been reformed by him, and he is an experienced person who is willing to be obedient and not be a monster, so he put it aside and drank tea by himself and read the newspaper;
Anyone who dared to show off and make a fuss was sent out by Ji Chengjue early on. In this three-acre land of his own, Ji Laoliu was extremely ruthless. You know, in order to get into the household department, he killed two people in succession. The position is Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Nowadays, from one perspective, it is Ji Laoliu's basic plan of nepotism;
But from another perspective, the operation of the household department can be said to be extremely smooth. This is indeed a help to cope with Dayan's current financial situation, which is close to collapse.
If the subordinates can do things well and are efficient, then I, as the boss, can actually have real leisure time and do everything by hand. Even I, myself, cannot do it. Otherwise, I would not have imitated the Qianguo system and established one in Yanguo. Cabinet, decentralizes some powers.
In the past, even if it was time to go to the Yamen, Ji Chengjue would stay for two more hours. This was not to show off, but if you were really busy, you could always find something to do. In addition, there was nothing you wanted to do with the prince in the palace. It is impossible for the son to live without money and food, and he cannot live without the Ministry of Accounts. He must be ready to enter the palace at any time to discuss matters.
But today,
Ji Chengjue didn't work overtime. When the time came, he walked out of the Hubu Yamen.
It was still the carriage driven by Eunuch Zhang, but instead of going back to the palace, it was leaving the city.
As soon as he left the city, a group of royal guards who had been waiting for him naturally followed him.
Eunuch Zhang who was driving could not help but turn around and said to Ji Chengjue who was sitting in the car;
"Master, is it appropriate for us to greet you like this?"
Ji Chengjue said indifferently: "What's inappropriate?"
"But the prince didn't come."
"If he doesn't come, won't I dare to come?"
"Master, you know that this is not what I mean."
"This matter can be hidden from many people, but it is destined to be hidden from many people. Regardless of whether I go or not, others will definitely know that I know it afterwards.
In that case,
Why should I pretend not to know?
Most of my family background has been revealed on the wedding day. There is a set of intelligence spies all over Dayan. It is reasonable to know this. "
"You know, I know, Master, if you come out to greet me so generously, will you..."
"For hundreds of years, the Li family has been the cornerstone of our Dayan family. Since the generation of Grandpa Huang, it has become the family that our Ji family most relies on and is closest to.
The young prince of the Li family, oh, he is the young prince;
In love and reason,
I, a brother of the same generation, should all go and meet him. "
"Master, what I want my slave to say is that it's better to be confused about some things."
Eunuch Zhang helps Ji Chengjue with many things. Many times, he is actually a consultant rather than a simple slave.
"After autumn, when the two kings and two princes enter the capital, everything will be finalized. Now, the big guys have already made their cards clear.
My situation will not get worse because I came out to see him this time, nor will it get any better because of it.
In that case,
Let's meet again,
I'm curious. "
"Master's words made this slave couldn't help but think of Lord Zheng."
"Haha, if the man surnamed Zheng were here, he would definitely go and see it. He is such a person that even a lot of money can't buy him happy."
"Master, you tell me, it's strange. Why did Li Liangshen deliberately go from Sanshi County to Yanjing? Could it be that he deliberately announced to Dayan that their heir apparent had been found?"
"No, Li Liangshen left his post without permission. It can be said that it is not in line with the situation, but it can be moderated by the reason.
But there has to be a degree here.
After all, he had to defeat Yanjing. To be precise, he had to stay here, and then this person had to be handed over and let another person take him back to Beifeng County.
He has a bad temper. It seems that people who use swords have a bad temper.
But after all, he is a general stationed in Gyeonggi and cannot be too willful. "
"If this is the case, Master, who do you think will come to pick him up? Is it other experts from Zhenbei Palace, or simply another general soldier?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
"It's hard to imagine that there will be things that even the master can't guess."
"This flattery, don't be fooled. I'm not a god, how can I figure everything out clearly?
That man surnamed Zheng was such a shrewd person and also such a person who was afraid of death, but even he had to be prepared to tie his head to his waist and gamble his life sometimes when he went to war.
But..."
Ji Chengjue reached out and rubbed his chin.
"Haha, I have an idea, but it's a bit scary."
Eunuch Zhang said immediately;
"Then Master, please don't tell me. I'm a timid slave, but I can't stand being scared."
carriage,
Stopped in a small market town outside the capital.
This is a place where merchants gather and disperse. At the same time, ministers returning to the capital will also stay here to tidy up their attire before entering the capital.
today,
It seems very quiet here.
Because groups of knights from the Suppression Army completely surrounded this place.
Even Ji Laoliu's carriage, which bore the mark of his palace, was still subject to interrogation. Fortunately, when Eunuch Zhang revealed his identity, the Zhenbei army sentry riders also immediately left their luggage without any entanglement. .
But in fact,
It's rude enough.
At the feet of the emperor,
Outside the capital of Emperor Yan,
As the prince of Dayan,
He still had to be interrogated like this.
You can say that these knights of the Zhenbei Army were particularly excited today and were particularly cautious about that one. However, Eunuch Zhang was already red with anger, but it was difficult to say anything to his master about this matter, because he knew that his family In his master's heart, he would only be more depressed than himself, so Eunuch Zhang could only swing his whip at the horse pulling the carriage with two extra points of force to let out a little vent in the horse's neighing.
Ji Chengjue reached out, picked up a piece of candy in front of him, and put it into his mouth.
Said to himself;
"The day before yesterday, when the prince was discussing matters, he had the idea to transfer the boss back and let Li Liangshen's troops go to Nanwang City to change the defense. I had no objection."
On the side of the couch,
Set up a town to suppress the Northern Army,
The leading general is still Li Liangshen, who only knows Zhenbei Palace but does not know the emperor's thorn in his heart.
He is domineering and thinks it doesn't matter;
But as sons, I feel guilty and uneasy.
Anyway, the boss has integrated and trained a troop of soldiers and horses in Nanwang City. When he is transferred back, he will be stable.
Of course, this proposal was proposed by the prince and he agreed to it. In the end, whether it can be passed depends on the wishes of Houyuan.
But Ji Chengjue felt that it should be lost in the back garden.
Because if the father originally planned to let the boss come back, he would not let the fourth child reorganize the troops in the Beijing camp. Isn't this taking off his pants and farting?
the most important is,
If the boss comes back and becomes the largest military power holder in the capital,
He will obviously have the ability to directly affect the outcome of the heir apparent.
Ji Chengjue is not naive enough to think that the boss was his before and will definitely remain his in the future;
In the same way, the reason why the prince proposed this was not to directly turn the boss against him because he had been on the ship of the Sixth Master Party.
The eldest son married a barbarian princess and had a grandson with barbarian blood. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to inherit Dabao, because the Yan people would not allow their royal blood to be tainted by barbarian blood.
But he is a prince after all,
When that time comes,
God knows if the boss's men will come out and wear yellow robes?
When Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom was imbued with a yellow robe by his general, he still cried out that he was forced to do so and that he felt sorry for the late emperor.
But for the brothers,
The boss is back,
At least one thing can be guaranteed,
肉，
It rotted in the pot.
We can fight among ourselves, win or lose, but don’t end up taking it off and making it a wedding dress for someone else.
As the general of the capital, Li Liangshen controlled the soldiers and horses of his direct line Zhenbei Army, which really made the princes uncomfortable.
But the fundamental thing is that
In their eyes,
As long as Li Liangting does not shout for rebellion, he, Li Liangshen, will not rebel. Moreover, Li Liangshen's withdrawn character, which no one looks down on, can ensure to the greatest extent that he will continue to remain neutral when the next battle to seize the throne becomes fierce.
finally,
The transfer of imperial power will be subject to the father's own will. This is the father's bottom line.
Ji Chengjue knew that the prince probably just wanted to test it out, and he did not have high expectations for whether this proposal would be passed.
carriage,
Finally stopped.
"I wonder who is here, Xiao Liuzi, okay, after this wedding and having a child, I am becoming more and more courageous."
The princess's voice came from outside the carriage.
Ji Chengjue opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
The moon and stars were sparse, a bonfire was lit in front, and the soldiers were also lighting torches.
You can clearly see the princess in a black dress riding on the beast, standing tall and tall.
Ji Laoliu glanced at the princess,
asked with a smile;
"I thought that, not only the pear blossoms were crying with the sound of rain, but at least they were haggard because of Yixiao. Who would have thought, my sister is actually a little plumper than before."
If it were a little plumper, it would almost become the type that the guy named Zheng likes.
The princess was not angry, but rather straightforward;
"Without a man, is it possible that we will have to live and die without food?"
"That's, that's, sister, a heroine."
The princess did not leave a wild beast to welcome Ji Chengjue.
Ji Chengjue didn't even get off the carriage and came over.
What happened on the wedding night had already planted a thorn in their hearts.
At this time, the palace guards also surrounded the carriage on three levels, and there were hidden masters among the guards.
Ji Laoliu was sitting outside the carriage, leaning back, holding a snuff bottle and playing with it slowly.
The princess continued to sit on the Pi beast, and the two of them stopped talking.
at last,
There is a sentry rider ahead to report, they should be arriving soon.
A smile appeared on the princess's face.
Ji Laoliu also showed a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Just at this time, the princess glanced over, caught it, and said:
"What do you mean by that smile?"
"Sister, you should know it in your heart."
"I am not sure."
"My brain was filled with water, and I suddenly wanted to laugh."
"Are you laughing at my joke?"
"How can you, how dare you."
"You're a man, aren't you? It takes a lot of effort to talk like this."
"Our younger brother from the Li family is back. I'm happy for you, sister. The burden on my sister can finally be relieved, and life can be easier."
"You're still laughing at me."
"Can we see through it without telling you?"
"Too hypocritical."
"I'm a man, so I have to take care of the overall situation."
"Then isn't this life too uncomfortable?"
"Who in this world can really live freely? Sister, are you comfortable?"
"I'm at ease."
"No, you are uncomfortable." Ji Chengjue smiled again, "You are very uncomfortable. To be honest, if you eat alone for a long time, you will take it for granted that it should be yours."
"Ji Laoliu, are you itchy?"
Ji Chengjue opened his hand,
road;
"Come on, I took the gift from my sister on my wedding day. I took it away on that day. I can accept it today. Does my sister dare to give it to me again?"
You are no longer the only one in the Li family,
Exchange lives,
Do you dare?
Ji Laoliu is usually a very calm person, but when facing the princess, he can't suppress his anger. After all, no one who encounters something like that on their wedding night can let go easily.
"It's because Zheng Fan has been granted the title of Marquis, so you Ji Laoliu think you are really capable, right?"
Ji Laoliu crossed his legs.
road;
"It's not like that."
"Do you think that man named Zheng will continue to fawn over you and worship you as before?"
Ji Chengjue shook his head,
road;
"I have been fawning over him and worshiping him for a long time."
Once you become successful, you pull up your pants;
Now in the letter, he also advises himself to look away, and he will try his best to protect his own safety.
have to,
After the whole experience was over, I advised the sisters to be good.
Ji Laoliu was completely open to this. He made it clear who Zheng Fan was when he was at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
but,
This also seems real,
Zheng Fan said that he would protect his own safety, so it must be worthy of entrustment. He could forget about it, but his wife and children could indeed be entrusted to Zheng Fan.
Ji Chengjue has always understood why Tian Wujing chose Zheng Fan to take care of him.
"Ji Laoliu, do you know if you continue to defend the man named Zheng, what will your Ji family do?"
Ji Laoliu nodded,
reach out,
Pointing at the princess,
road;
"What are you afraid of? Haven't our Ji family already raised a thing like you?"
To the end,
I still can't help but want to tear myself up and scold someone.
After scolding,
call,
comfortable.
The princess smiled and said;
"Ji Laoliu, remember what you said today."
"I don't have any other skills. I only have one skill: I have a photographic memory."
At this time,
A team came from a distance, and the leader wore a simple sword on his waist.
The princess reached out and patted the beast under her crotch. The beast stood up from its prostrate posture and looked over there.
"Together?"
The princess extended an invitation to Ji Chengjue.
Ji Chengjue raised his hand,
road;
"As a family, let's have a good time reminiscing about old times. I'm not in a hurry."
The princess rode the beast towards the team.
Ji Laoliu looked around and saluted a lot.
laughed:
"I can finally live in peace for a while."
"Master, what does this mean?"
Ji Chengjue didn't answer.
Instead he sighed:
"You said, this old Li's family is not big, but in terms of excitement, it is really not inferior to our Ji family."
……
When the princess came to Li Liangshen, she said;
"Thanks for your hard work."
Li Liangshen shook his head with a smile and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
"Are you in the carriage?"
Li Liangshen nodded.
The princess was about to go to the carriage, but Li Liangshen reached out to stop her.
"Ah……"
The princess turned sideways and looked at Li Liangshen.
This sworn brother who had been extremely tolerant of, pampered, and supported him.
Now, he stopped himself.
Because Adi is back.
"What do you think I will do?"
Li Liangshen also looked at the princess and said:
"We can no longer be willful."
The princess bit her lip and said, "I know, so that's why I didn't rush over to whip him when Ji Laoliu made fun of me earlier."
"There's no need to hold back on this. Just do it if you want, or I'll do it for you later."
"Brother, I won't do anything to my brother. Let me go see him."
Li Liangshen's hand was still not taken back.
He knew her madness.
The princess stood there, waiting;
It was very quiet between the two of them, except for the sound of the wind.
finally,
Li Liangshen shook his head,
road;
"It's not too late to see him again after he is sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, or in other words, you can see him again after the person who takes him there arrives."
people,
It was Li Liangshen who found it, and he didn't allow any accidents to happen when it was in his hands.
The princess reached out, took out a letter from her arms, and handed it to Li Liangshen.
Li Liangshen took the letter and
The princess spoke;
"My father's personal letter asked me to protect my brother when he returns home. I have already bid farewell to His Majesty, and I am the one who is here to take care of him."
Li Liangshen read the letter. A letter written by his adoptive father cannot be faked.
He took his hand back.
Since it was his adoptive father's wish, he, Li Liangshen, should obey it unconditionally.
The princess went straight to the carriage and opened the curtain.
Inside,
Ah Fei, who looked very refreshed in a new set of clothes, sat inside,
When I saw her,
his expression,
Not doubts,
It's not a surprise,
It's not the kind of smile a younger brother would have when he sees his older sister.
Instead,
With extremely clear alertness.
"Do you know who I am?" the princess asked.
A Fei nodded and said: "I have sat by the river in Chenjiazhuang many times and thought that my mother-in-law said it was my father who wanted me to die.
Our family,
The population is not large,
Just four people.
If my mother wanted me to die, there was no need to give birth to me;
And if it weren't for my father,
Who could it be? "
The princess shook her head,
Road:
"You should be pretending, you should be happy to call me sister, and then throw yourself into my arms. You should not say a word of what you just said, just hide it in your heart.
Do you know that if you say it so openly, you will have no room for change? "
A Fei sighed,
Sitting in a carriage,
Very calm and authentic;
“I grew up in Chenjiazhuang, and my mother-in-law told me my life story very early, so I always had to pretend that I was an ordinary child from Chenjiazhuang.
but,
When I agreed to leave Chenjiazhuang,
I just decided,
Since then,
I,
No more pretending. "
The princess leaned her head against the wall of the carriage,
Not angry,
Instead he smiled;
"I didn't think so before, but now I suddenly realize that it's good to have a man among my peers at home."
said,
The princess pointed at Ah Fei again,
nodded;
"It's a pity that the Li family now doesn't have the ability to let you sit on the throne.
but,
I guarantee you won’t pretend for the rest of your life, no problem. "
Ah Fei smiled, smiled very happily, and said with a smile:
"Sister."
"Ah."
"Actually, when I was by the river in Chenzhuang, I was not only thinking about what I just said, but more importantly, I was thinking about another thing.
Now it seems that what I thought was right. "
The princess smoothed her black hair on the side of her face and asked:
"Oh, what are you thinking about?"
A Fei said seriously:
"My sister, as I thought, is really beautiful."
