Bearded guest?
Li Mingda took the spicy soup into his mouth. He and he had found a job for him yesterday. After all, what could be more useful than this kind of pirate king harassing the enemy's coast.
Don't blame Li Mingda for being unkind. If you use this kind of damaging move, you should be merciful to the enemy. I think it's a direct attack.
Li Jing chatted with Hong Funu and Zhang Zhongjian for most of the night. Logically speaking, he couldn't get up in the morning, but Li Jing was so excited that he didn't fall asleep and came to the imperial study room on time in the morning.
After greeting the members of the cabinet, Li Jing had a ton of breakfast in the cabinet and counted the time while slowly processing the official letters in his hands.
As for the time when Li Mingda woke up or when he was free, it was not suitable when Li Mingda had breakfast in the morning, nor when the water returned to his cage, but it was fine when he went out for a walk, so Li Jing was waiting.
However, Li Jing didn't know that Li Mingda had already made arrangements for Zhang Zhongjian.
But as an emperor, he is naturally not in a hurry. One day earlier and one day later does not mean much. Although there is a saying about large-scale wars, a horseshoe led to the failure of a war and led to the defeat of Napoleon. He is Napoleon and we are Mingzun. Your Majesty, the Holy Emperor, is not well-informed.
After breakfast, Murong Xue touched Wu Jue's face and touched the oil stains on her hands, making Wu Jue howl in anger.
"My dog, I'm going to the city for a walk~!"
It was my walk in the city. Li Mingda knew that Murong Xue had gone to inspect the territory. After what happened in Luocang last time, Murong Xue had been silent for a long time. The management of the black market in Chang'an City was left to the people below. As for those dandies in the market, Murong Xue left it to Cheng Yingying and Li Lingjun when she didn't go out. Since Li Lingjun was the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, she couldn't just beat people up casually on the street like in the past. Therefore, this matter is still left to Cheng Yingying to complete.
As the only one who could take action, Cheng Yingying was also busy during this period, but he was smart enough to know that he could not do it alone, so he found a lot of helpers. For a time, the darlings of the noble families in Chang'an City became Cheng Yingying's eyes. .
The dandies of some family went out and went wherever they went. The news was delivered very preparedly. Then Cheng Yingying led a large group of people to kill them. Cheng Yingying couldn't follow Murong Xue and whip them directly, but she could Let Jin Yiwei catch them and put them in prison.
As the law enforcement agency of the Tang Dynasty that only belongs to the Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda, the system inside and outside the Jinyiwei is strict enough and can withstand the pressure brought by these nobles. Anyone who comes to plead for mercy will be recorded in the book. If it is a bribe If so, both sides must be held accountable. The internal punishment of Jinyiwei will be increased by one level. No one dares to risk their lives in exchange for such a small amount of money.
The heads of those who dared to change have been hanging in the Jinyiwei Town Fusi for a long time. Whenever new people come in or there are nobles who want to try, they will see those Jinyiwei who break the law and discipline. fate.
"Xiaobai, go ahead and be safe."
Murong Xue: "Okay, I promise not to kill anyone, except for those who seek death."
Li Mingda: "Then I'll be relieved."
The conversation between the two sides made Yu Xiaoqian, who was standing by his side, break out in cold sweat. His Majesty and his concubine, this conversation was really speechless.
Murong Xue skipped out of the imperial study room and began her day of chivalry and righteousness. In Chang'an City, those nobles who finally came out to show off when Murong Xue was inconvenient or frequently went out didn't know yet. The heroic Murong Xuemu, who had long been unable to restrain himself, ran out like a wild dog.
After letting his little boy out, Li Mingda planned to go out for a walk. With his hands behind his back, he greeted Yu Xiaoqian and walked down the third floor leisurely. When he reached the stairs, Li Jing looked at Li Mingda's figure and stood up slowly. , packed up his clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles, and walked over slowly.
"My lord, Li Jing pays homage to your majesty."
Zhang Zhongjian came last night, and Li Jing chatted with him for so long. Li Mingda originally thought that he would take a short rest, but he didn't expect that he would come here early in the morning.
Li Mingda said to Li Jing: "If you want to sworn brother, just follow me and talk about it while we walk."
Li Jing: "No"
As the main minister of the cabinet, Li Jing naturally knew that the Jinyi Guards were present in every corner of the Tang Dynasty. Any information they wanted to know could not escape their eyes, and they were not in vain.
Even if Zhang Zhongjian could hide himself well along the way, he would not be able to continue in Chang'an City, especially for cabinet ministers like Li Jing. Li Jing knew that everyone in his family was trustworthy, and he also understood that some people would become Jin Yiwei's eyeliner is inevitable.
It doesn't mean that they are disloyal, but this is the best protection for themselves. His Majesty knows everything he says and does, so the emperor will naturally know if he is doing anything behind his back.
Both sides know the situation, so that they will not give some mean people from Beijing a chance to slander and murder themselves.
Following Li Mingda, he walked out of the Royal Study and towards the Royal Horse Prison. On the way, Li Mingda asked Li Jing: "Can you tell me something?"
Li Jing: "My eldest brother..." After some narration, Li Jing clearly expressed the thoughts of the bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian.
As if Li Mingda knew the news, he rubbed his chin and pretended to think for a while. Before walking to the Royal Horse Prison, Li Mingda answered Li Jing.
"The Qiu-bearded guest made a lot of efforts in supporting the Li family to win over the world. According to the rules, there is no problem in giving him a title. It is impossible to continue to live freely. In the future, the banner of the Tang Dynasty will be spread all over the world. His piece of Sooner or later, the land will belong to the Tang Dynasty. It is better to surrender as soon as possible, and I can give him a chance to be promoted to the title of Duke."
Duke?
A gleam appeared in Li Jing's eyes. He thought it would be good to be given a marquis, but he didn't expect that Li Mingda was willing to give him the title of Duke. You must know that His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun, except for the special being Li Lingjun, has nothing left since his rank. The highest military reward is to be a marquis. Li Mingda did not give many rewards to generals like Zhao Yun who destroyed the country.
Li Jing, who knew the military, could roughly guess what Li Mingda planned to ask Zhang Zhongjian to do. He directly agreed on behalf of his elder brother: "I will sworn brother on my behalf to thank your majesty for your kindness."
Li Mingda: "Thank you is a must. Let him follow you into the palace every day, and let him be willing to do some things."
Li Jing: "No, I understand."
In the evening, Li Jing returned to the mansion and told Zhang Zhongjian what Li Mingda had said and that he wanted to see him in person.
Zhang Zhongjian suddenly said:
