"Go and send everyone away. Don't let anyone see you."
Samurai Tong secretly ordered the steward. He not only invited two prostitutes from the brothel, but also a large group of singing and dancing accompaniments.
Once Li Jing is put under investigation, who knows what will happen?
Li Jing is not Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang is just a doctor in the Ministry of War anyway, so he should be treated more casually.
Li Jing was different. He was the head of the state, the emperor's teacher. In the eyes of the warrior Yu, he was now the serious king of Jiangnan. And as far as he knew, Li Jing's life was simpler than Zhang Liang's. His official reputation was excellent and he was very dignified.
.
Regardless of whether he is pretending to be upright or truly honest, he is not someone he can easily test, just like he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in the past few years.
Li Yuan...actually he is a person who likes to enjoy himself...
……………………
Li Jing was dressed in casual clothes and was riding a horse quite leisurely. Accompanying him was Li Daliang, the governor of the governor's office.
Originally, Li Jing, Zhang Lun, and Yu Wenhuo led their troops out of Shu, leaving him in Yizhou as the governor of Yizhou. Last year, Zhang Yunzhi, the governor of Xihe County, was promoted to the general manager of Yizhou. Li Jing was also in need of a capable person.
Therefore, he simply transferred this confidant from Yizhou to Jiangling.
Being so highly regarded by Li Jing, Li Daliang's future is bright. According to the rules of officialdom, he will stay in Jiangling for two years, and when he is released, he will at least be the governor of the place.
If Li Jing strongly recommends him, it is not impossible to serve as a general manager. If he reaches the level of general manager at the local level, he will undoubtedly be a high-ranking official when he returns to the court.
……………………
"You should pay more attention to the navy. Wen Shihong has been training the navy for some time. He is a descendant of Xiao Mian. He is always worried that I will kill him. You should try your best to comfort him.
I exchanged letters with the imperial court, and I feel that His Majesty attaches great importance to the navy. This man is good at water warfare and is a rare talent. He will be of great use in the future. Don't let him scare you."
Li Jing ordered Li Daliang as he moved forward.
Li Daliang nodded and said yes, and then said: "The navy should be used for water transportation from north to south. There are also many ships in Jiangdu. Why don't we put them together in one place..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter again. The court has its own divisions. Wang Shangshu has only been through Jiangling for a few days? So we have to fight for power with him. What's going on?"
Furthermore, I heard that Du Fuwei led his people to sea and gained a lot. I think the big ships on the river will gather at Jiangdu in the future. If we do the opposite, wouldn’t it make people laugh? "
Li Daliang immediately complimented, "The Commander-in-Chief is still taking a long-term view... This year the Commander-in-Chief will still use troops against Lingnan. I think Dou Jiande has surrendered. The DPRK will definitely work on peace and stability. So should we wait?"
Li Jing shook his head without hesitation and said: "The Central Plains has been in turmoil in recent years, and places like Jiaozhou and Lingnan have no time to take care of it. Local powerful people are powerful, barbarians are entrenched in the mountains and forests, and chaos abounds. Since we still have the strength to spare, we cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
We must use troops at least once a year, and after a few years of this, those people will come to Jiangling one after another to ask for help. At that time, it will be the time to extend favors, otherwise they will think that the imperial court is afraid of them and allows them to claim the kingship according to the territory."
As they were talking, someone reminded: "Captain, you'll be there just after passing this street."
Li Jing shook the horse's reins and said with a smile: "We came so unexpectedly. I wonder if Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang will blame me for coming uninvited?"
Everyone apologized. Governor Li was in charge of Jiangyou. Where was he going to visit? It was too late for people to welcome him. Who dared to say no?
After walking a little further, I saw a group of people waiting in front of the mansion gate.
When they got nearby, the warriors Yu and Zhang Liang hurriedly came to greet them. Li Jing dismounted and greeted the warriors Yu and Zhang Liang.
Li Jing looked at their red faces and drunken looks, and he took the lead and said with a smile: "You two have been working hard all the way, so Jing took the liberty of coming to visit, so he didn't disturb your enjoyment, right?"
Seeing that he was dressed in casual clothes, with a relaxed demeanor and no sign of raising an army to accuse him, the warriors Yu and Zhang Liang were relieved.
The warrior Tong smiled with a smile on his face, "What did the governor say? We are not in any good mood. We just drank some wine to relieve our fatigue. I wanted to go see the governor tomorrow, but I didn't expect the governor to come to his humble residence in person. It's a shame."
Zhang Liang also said: "I haven't seen you for a few months. The governor is glowing with glory and majesty. I am here to pay tribute to the governor."
After being polite, the three of them entered the house together.
As everyone gathered around, Li Jing looked around and said, "The Jiangnan courtyard is very exquisite. Compared with it, the Chang'an courtyard is indeed a bit less interesting."
The warrior Yun smiled. If he were in Jinyang, it would be just a matter of words to transfer him to the mansion with this conversation, but now he has to be much more cautious.
"The vegetation here in Gangneung is indeed a good place, but the governor still needs to be in charge so that the officials and people can live leisurely. Otherwise, the people will have their wives and children scattered, or they will be busy all day long, and they will not be able to clean up the courtyard.
?”
This flattery was so good that everyone laughed.
However, Li Jing remembered the time he visited the Jinyang Wang family when he was in Jinyang. The Wang family had a noble family, and he was very envious at that time. He didn't want to... but he damned Li Yuan was offended. It was so bitter...
Now when I go to other people's homes, all I hear is flattery.
When Wang Zen went to Jiangdu via Jiangling to take office, he had no intention of apologizing for what happened back then. Furthermore, he wanted to use Jiangling as his backing so that he could clean up the situation in Jiangzuo as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, he did have a lot of grievances with the Wang family of Jinyang back then. He stayed in the position of Mayi County Chancellor for ten years and was suppressed by Wang Que's servant.
Later, Wang's men stabbed his son-in-law. He sent someone to question him, but they dismissed him with a simple word.
As for being an official in Jin, it is true that you cannot avoid the Wang family of Jinyang. In short, there are many conflicts, big and small.
Now that I see the leader of the Wang family, his attitude is quite low. He can't hold on to those trivial matters. In fact, he is not open-minded. Even if he doesn't embarrass Wang Ze, he plans to go to the Wang family again in the future.
Take a walk and take a good look at how they are groveling.
Especially old guys like Wang Cong, I don’t know if they are still alive...
This is the wonderful thing about the changes in the world. From thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, no one can be proud for the rest of his life, and conversely, no one can be unlucky for the rest of his life.
So, it’s better to leave some leeway as a human being, otherwise after many years, someone may want to visit your home...
As his thoughts continued, the warrior Tong asked, "The Governor is always busy with official duties and rarely goes on patrol. Now he has left his official duties and came here. Do you have anything to discuss with me?"
Li Jing said casually: "You two came back from Xiangyang. I wanted to send someone to greet you, but I was delayed for a while, so I forgot about it. When I heard about it again, you had already entered the city. I happened to be free, so I came to greet you."
Thank you for your hard work on the road."
