Li Jing is Yang Su's disciple. The relationship between master and apprentice in ancient times was very close. Once a teacher is a lifelong father, it is not just a matter of words.
As his own father's student, Yang Xuanting naturally regarded Li Jing as one of his own.
But Li Jing's first words after coming in were such a rude greeting, which really shocked him.
After Li Jing sat down, he said, "I'm not just being alarmist, it's true. Xuanting doesn't seem to believe it?"
Yang Xuanting nodded, poured wine for Li Jing, and said:
"To tell you the truth, Medicine Master, among the people I have beaten in the capital, Wei Zheng is not ranked at all in terms of family status. It is his honor for me to beat him. Why did he bring trouble to the Crown Princess?"
Li Jing smiled and said: "Wei Zheng was rude first, and the princess can tolerate him, why can't you tolerate him?"
"I don't want to rub sand in my eyes," Yang Xuanting snorted coldly: "Who is he? He dares to give advice to the Crown Princess. If the Crown Princess can't get involved in politics? Who else can?"
Li Jing frowned and said, "You had a lot of trouble with them this time, but the prince, Mr. Xian Ma Liu, and the chief officials of Menxiafang and Dianshufang were indifferent. Don't you think it's strange?"
Yang Xuanting asked doubtfully: "What's so strange about this? It's none of your business, so just ignore it."
"Why does it have nothing to do with you?" Li Jing said with a smile: "Wei Zheng and Xue Shou are not their people? As the chief officer, shouldn't we care about conflicts between subordinates and others?"
"They don't dare to care," Yang Xuanting hugged his shoulders and smiled.
Li Jing said: "By the way, they really didn't dare to take care of it because they thought it was the Crown Princess who ordered You and Yuan Qing to beat people."
Xuanting was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "This matter has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess did not say anything about Wei Zhengxing's transgression. Everyone knows this."
"I know on the surface, but do you know what I think in my heart?" Li Jing said.
Yang Xuanting was stunned.
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "You and Yuan Qing are too impulsive. This is the East Palace, not your family. All the subordinate officials are appointed by the prince. Why do you beat people? Who gave you the courage to beat the prince's subordinates? Wei Zheng dares to take the lead. , there must be someone tacitly agreeing behind it, and some of these people are really good for the Crown Princess, because the Crown Princess cannot be involved in politics, do you know why?"
"I don't know," Yang Xuanting shook his head blankly.
Li Jing said: "Because the Queen is not involved in politics, why should the Crown Princess be involved in politics?"
Yang Xuanting couldn't help but swallowed, and his palms were already sweating. Li Jing's words meant that the princess was actually the one who overstepped her bounds.
Li Jing continued: "Before the Crown Prince left, all the affairs of the East Palace were handed over to Mr. Liu and Li Gang, Feng Deyi and the others, so that they could assist King Guan in handling some matters. The Crown Princess took away their rights, of course. This is also to blame King Guan, he is too worldly, and he asks the Crown Princess for advice on many things. His intention is good, but in fact he is putting the Crown Princess on the fire to roast."
Yang Xuanting twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I was horrified to hear what you said. Yuan Qing and I were really confused this time. It seems that I should write to the prince immediately to explain the matter clearly. After all, we were really not ordered by anyone? But? We can’t involve the Crown Princess.”
"There is no need to write the letter, and there is no need for you to explain. It is just superfluous," Li Jing said in a deep voice;
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a deep love for each other. How can a small thing affect it? The Crown Princess calls me brother in private. Xuanting and I are also members of the same family. We cannot cause trouble for her. Have you forgotten the lessons learned from the past? "
Yang Xuanting nodded hurriedly: "Then it seems that I should persuade her not to see King Guan again."
"There is no need for you to persuade the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess will not meet with King Guan," Li Jing said: "The two buildings and three temples in the East Palace are unanimously silent this time. They are silently opposing the Crown Princess's involvement in politics. They are also doing it for the Crown Princess's good, so as not to interfere with the Imperial Palace. Shi Tai went to Luoyang to complain, and a small matter turned into a big deal."
Yang Xuanting actually doesn't listen to advice very much, but because of people and things, Li Jing is one of his own and will not cheat him. What's more, Li Jing made the matter so serious, how dare he not listen?
In fact, Li Jing's original intention was to hope that Hongnong and Yang's faction in the East Palace would restrain themselves a little. This was the East Palace, not the Prince of Qin's Palace. Forming a party here would be courting death.
Li Jing has a close relationship with the Yang family, so he naturally doesn't want anything to happen to them, but if they are allowed to continue their mischief, it is impossible that nothing will happen.
Yang Yinjiang asked him to mediate for the same purpose. No one else could make peace, only Li Jing could.
The fight between Huang Fenglin and Li Xuandao could be said to be a personal grudge, and they could just reprimand each other, but this time Yang Xuanting and Yang Yuanqing escalated the matter to a factional dispute in the East Palace, which was more serious.
After Li Jing left Yang Xuanting's office, he went to see Pei Shuang.
Pei Shuang was originally a Qianniu guard who had always been with Yang Ming, but this time Yang Ming left Beijing without a single guard, and the conflict between Pei Shuang and Yang Xuanting this time, and the Wei Zheng incident was just a trigger. The reason is still the dispute between Yang and Pei.
Both families are very angry. On the surface, they are trying to maintain peace, but in fact, they are unhappy with each other, and they are holding their breath deep in their hearts, and it is easy to get angry.
Even the prince could not do anything about the conflict between their two families. This was a dispute over family interests. Yang Xuanting's beating of Wei Zheng was actually igniting a fire.
Because Yang Ming was once the king of Hedong, there were many children from Hedong in the East Palace, and because these children were all fellow villagers, they lived relatively close together. With Hongnong Yang being the dominant family in the East Palace, the Hedong gentry gathered together to keep warm. Xue Shou and Xue Wanshu also joined the Pei family's camp.
"The Crown Princess and the concubine are both pregnant right now, and the date of delivery is approaching. How dare you cause trouble at this time?" Li Jing was not so polite to Pei Shuang, and directly scolded him.
After all, Pei Shuang is a junior, and he respects Li Jing very much.
"I didn't take the initiative to cause trouble," Pei Shuang explained: "Everyone works for the prince. Although there are different positions, Wei Zheng is rude, but he can just give him a lecture. Is there any need to beat people? How is this different from barbarians? ?”
Li Jing scolded coldly: "You still dare to quibble? The matter is not serious at first, but you guys insist on stirring up trouble behind your back. If you have any grievances in your heart, you can tell the Crown Princess. Why is there a conflict? There is no clique in the first place, but people think that you are a clique. "
Pei Shuang was stunned: "It was just a verbal conflict over injustice, how could it become a party?"
Li Jing said: "What you think is your business. You have no control over what outsiders think. You are an official of the East Palace and a minister of the Crown Prince. Everything you do represents the East Palace. Before doing anything in the future, you must first think of the Crown Prince." , think about yourself again.”
Pei Shuang was speechless. After being scolded by Li Jing for a long time, he nodded and said:
"General Li's words are like thunder. I will act with caution in everything from now on."
Li Jing nodded: "The prince will not tolerate factions in the East Palace. Say hello to them all and be careful in the future to avoid causing trouble for yourself."
"Junior understands," Pei Shuang personally sent Li Jing away with a respectful attitude.
The second biggest thorn in the east palace is Yang Yuanqing. Only Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang can suppress this kid.
Li Jing tried to persuade him a few times, but Yang Yuanqing refused to accept it, so Li Jing beat him up. During this period, Yang Yuanqing also fought back, but he never hit Li Jing.
"Okay, I respect you as my elder brother, and I never thought that you would dare to beat me because of your insecurities?" Yang Yuanqing said with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
"You're the one I'm beating," Li Jing was also really angry, knowing that this kid still couldn't change his arrogant temper even though he had been practicing in the frontier all these years.
It's too late to fight now, his character has already been finalized.
So I can only try to make him suffer as much as possible, so that he can remember a little longer and not cause any more trouble for his sister.
Yang Yuanqing was also stubborn. After recovering from his injuries for a day, he went to find Li Jing alone the next day, and was beaten again.
Even Yang Xuanting couldn't stand it this time. You kid is really disobedient. The pharmacist is doing it for your own good. Can't you tell?
So Yang Xuanting wrote directly to Luoyang and complained to Yang Xuangan and Yang Yue.
"You bastard," Yang Yue yelled after receiving the letter: "Does this little beast think that my time in Xiyang is too short? If Yin Jiang gets pregnant because of this, I will beat this beast to death."
Yang Xuangan's mouth twitched and he didn't dare to say a word, because Yang Yue had already scolded him before.
Why? If you are not strict in raising your children, the scoldings are also very unpleasant. What kind of father gave birth to a son.
"Write a letter to the pharmacist. Yuan Qing will be trained by him from now on. If you don't obey me again, you'll be beaten to death," Yang Yue said angrily.
Yang Xuangan said with a smile: "Uncle, please calm down. After all, Yuan Qing vented her anger on behalf of her sister, so she is not at fault, right?"
Yang Yue was shocked and looked at Xuangan dumbfounded.
After a moment, he grabbed a chair and threw it at Xuangan. Xuangan was shocked, got up and hid:
"Don't do it, you, what did I say wrong?"
Yang Yue was furious, pointed at Xuangan and cursed: "You idiot, sooner or later the Yang family will be ruined in your hands, can you use your stupid ass-like brain?"
Yang Xuangan looked innocent and said, "Can't you just say something properly? Can't I just write a letter to the pharmacist?"
Yang Yue sat down with a dejected look on his face and sighed: "I can't teach you no matter how I teach you. Are you my brother's son?"
Is this still fake? Yang Xuangan said speechlessly: "Do you think so little of me?"
Yang Yue didn't want to say anything anymore. He waved his hands feebly and said:
"Physician, Xuanting, Deyi, Sengshou, and Li Mi wrote letters respectively, asking them to think favorably of Yuan Qing. He is still young and can easily cause trouble. It will be difficult for Yin Jiang in these years. Don't cause trouble for her anymore."
After saying that, Yang Yue added: "Also, let Xuanting and Yuan Qing go apologize to Wei Zheng."
"Why?" Yang Xuanting said blankly: "Who is he, the one who deserves our family's apology?"
Yang Yue was stunned and grabbed the pen holder and threw it at Xuangan:
"Are you trying to piss me off?"
Yang Xuangan caught the pen holder and hurried behind the table to grind it:
"I write, I write. Oh, you old man is really angry."
Yang Yue sighed helplessly and said calmly: "I am still relieved about Yao Shi and De Yi. As for the others, we must remind them not to embarrass Wei Zheng. They are seeking death."
