The fire was not very big, it just burned a house to the ground.
Such fires are not uncommon in Mayi.
But when it reached Li Jing's ears, the taste was very different.
A confidant sent a letter to Li Jing, informing Cao Cao, who joined the army, Wang Yuan, and Li Zongfang, a meritorious officer who joined the army, for allowing their families to fight for property. Li Zongfang's wife and brother Lu Junda failed to commit arson due to the dispute over property.
Li Jing laughed at that time.
I was just dozing off, so someone immediately brought me a pillow. I couldn’t help but laugh.
Wang Yuan was born in the Wang family of Jinyang, which is a surname with an extremely long history. There are only a handful of people in the world who can trace its origins further than this surname.
Of course, the Jinyang Wang family is famous for more than just its inheritance. It is now one of the most famous families in Jin.
The descendants of the Yellow Emperor have the surname Wang, which refers to the current Wang family in Jinyang.
They are in the same line as the Wang family of Langya, Shandong, and they are both ethnic groups that have been passed down for thousands of years.
No matter how many ups and downs there are in the world, the Jinyang Wang surname has been passed down forever, as if they are the real owners of Jin, and the rest are just passers-by.
Such sitters have deep roots and luxuriant branches. Not to mention that Li Jing is just the mayor of Mayi County. Even if Li Jing becomes the King of Jinyang, there is nothing that can be done against them. The King of Jinyang in the minds of people in Jin can only be the King of Jinyang.
, no one else can replace it.
The Jinyang Wang family is well-deserved as a family with a thousand years of history.
Fortunately, Mayi soldier Cao Wangyuan was just a branch of the Jinyang Wang family. He was just another silverfish attached to the family, and he was very easy to get along with.
He occupies the position of military commander in Mayi, but he knows little about the military affairs of the frontier. He has nothing to do, but he is good at talking about literature and painting with others. This is completely incompatible with the folk customs of Mayi.
It can be seen that the Jinyang Wang family, like many famous families in the world that have been passed down for a long time, is full of twilight and is still imagining and admiring the grace of the sages in the forest.
If you look at the changes in the Northland King's Banner over the past few years, how many people are really from these famous families with profound backgrounds?
When the Kansai clans looked down upon all the heroes in the world, these noble clans had no choice but to bow their heads and profess their loyalty. They only dared to secretly say a few harsh words behind their backs, saying that the Hulu clan would not conspire with them.
Yes, in this year when the world is using martial arts, these famous Han family members have eclipsed one after another, and they are still wandering around in the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system, but they don't know that all the heroes in the world are ready to make a move.
Of course, Li Jing, who has been in bad luck for more than ten years, would not easily touch such a behemoth.
But his nephew, Li Duan's youngest son Li Zongfang, is a different story.
Li Zongfang looks like a serious descendant of the Kansai clan.
He is brave, likes bows and horses, likes hunting, does not like women, but likes the things in the cup.
There was no question of what he was capable of. In Li Jing's opinion, if this nephew was released and left to fend for himself, he would be as good as a county guard. In other words, he would be catching the boss.
Now that I am over 20 years old, I feel quite proud to be sitting in the position of a meritorious officer in Mayi.
He didn't do much serious business, and he was always the one who invited friends to go out to play in the city. He was probably so carefree that he had already forgotten his father's instructions to him to keep an eye on his uncle.
The fire was burning at the right time. Li Jing would not be soft-hearted in dealing with this nephew.
Before returning to Mayi City at all, a secret letter was sent back and forth, and someone again reported that Li Zongfang, the meritorious Cao of Mayi, secretly recorded his merits, placed close followers, gathered people for entertainment, ate nothing after his body was buried, and neglected official duties.
This time, Li Jing was not polite and reported the matter directly to the Daizhou Governor's Office.
After serving as an official for many years, his political skills were definitely indispensable. He then recommended Cao Cao to join the army and Wang Yuan to serve as the Mayi meritorious cao to join the army.
Turning around, Li Jing sent someone to deliver a letter to Wang Yuan, in which he repeatedly criticized him for indulging his family members, competing for property with others, and that the soldiers and officers had become increasingly lazy since he took office.
It wasn't until the end that he added some words of comfort, and then recommended him as a meritorious officer to join the army.
This continuous beating and giving of fruits directly confused Wang Yuan.
However, the position of a meritorious officer joining the army is definitely not a small temptation for Wang Yuan. As a self-proclaimed scholar, he would find it very difficult to stay in the Bingcao position. Not to mention that the meritorious officer is the leader of all the Cao Cao. If he can really get it,
, even if it’s a promotion.
Surprised and happy, he asked someone to come over and discuss it. He first wrote a letter to Daizhou General Manager's Office, and then quickly called his cousin over, gave him a scolding, and told him to go to the military camp and stay there. Nothing would happen.
You are not allowed to step into Mayi City.
As a result, Yanmen's reply arrived extremely quickly.
Li Zongfang and Li Jing were about the same age back then, but before they even got over it, the position of Mayi Gongcao had been lost inexplicably.
When Li Zongfang came to Mayi as an official, Li Jing's elder brother Li Duan wrote a long letter to his younger brother. The letter was full of love for brothers, and the meaning was vaguely revealed.
Let Li Jing teach Li Zongfang himself.
Don't mention Li Jing's depression at that time.
The two brothers have not seen each other for many years. Does this brother still think that he is the same ignorant kid who cared about brotherhood and kept writing letters to his brother to stay away from Shi Wansui?
Not to mention accepting his nephew as his disciple, even if he saw this nephew every time, he would feel disgusted in his heart.
Perhaps for Li Duan, who is in the capital, his life has been very stable these years, and he has not killed all his brothers, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing.
But for Li Jing, in the past twenty years, so many ambitions have been wasting away, and how many times did the flourishing scenery of the capital appear in his dreams?
If he had been in the capital and given twenty years, he might have been able to aspire to the position of Shangzhu Kingdom by now, and the Li family would have grown stronger because of him.
Twenty years, twenty years, in Li Jing's eyes, his biological brother not only cut off his career promotion path, but also cut off the opportunity for the rise of the Li family. It was really a misfortune for the family. Li Duan was undoubtedly the first member of the Li family.
The main culprit who has been lingering for a long time.
Now, it was his turn to write a letter to Li Duan.
Years of suffering all came to mind at this moment, but after all, Li Jing was no longer the high-spirited young man he used to be. Now he had reached the age of forty, an age where he would never act on his high spirits.
Therefore, this long letter has many similarities with the letter from my brother back then.
After expressing his brotherly love, he also said that he was not strict with his nephew, so he was dismissed from office, and his nephew suffered from the cold weather at the frontier, but got nothing, so he had no face to treat his brother, so he had to send his nephew back to the capital and let his brother personally
Teaching like this.
By this time, the turmoil in Mayi was almost over.
At that time, Shi Wansui, the traces left by Li Duan and others in Mayi were cleaned up one after another by Li Jinglu. He turned around and got a little closer to the Jinyang Wang family, and he was no longer afraid of the overt and covert attacks from the capital.
The fire Li Po set off made Li Jing feel happy. This was something Li Po could never have imagined.
