The Lord of Jinxiang County and Cui Jie are best friends because of her father, Prince Teng.
In the history of the early Tang Dynasty, Prince Teng was considered a celebrity. His fame was neither in the court nor in his talent. Instead, he was simply an alternative among the royal family members.
During the funeral of the late Emperor Taizong, there was a banquet with singing, dancing, and prostitution. Finally, Prince Teng was disliked by Li Zhi, and his troubled life began.
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he demoted the imperial uncle again and again. He was first demoted from Tengzhou, Shandong to Suzhou as governor, and then demoted to Hongzhou, which was later known as Nanchang.
If history does not change, he will be demoted to Chuzhou, Langzhong, Longzhou...
Throughout his life, Prince Teng was either demoted or on the way to being demoted. The amazing thing is that no matter how many times he was demoted, he was always optimistic. Moreover, Prince Teng had a cheerful personality and liked to play pranks. It is said that he liked to squat on the street and pay homage when he had nothing to do.
Strange passers-by throw pebbles...
He has lived to this age without being beaten to death, thanks to his good reincarnation. Otherwise, with such a mean hand, the Lord of Jinxiang County would probably be just a puddle of white turbid liquid, buried with Prince Teng in the grave.
He has been demoted many times. It can be said that King Teng has spent his whole life on the road. Many years ago, he passed through Qingzhou on the way to being demoted. One was the son of the great ancestor, and the other was a member of a thousand-year-old family. It was natural for both parties to get to know each other.
.
In this way, Cui Jie and the Lord of Jinxiang County met and became close friends.
"Are you really best friends with Cui Jie?" Li Qinzai asked in surprise.
The Lord of Jinxiang County said coldly: "I have known Jie'er for ten years, what do you think?"
Li Qinzai smacked his lips. It turned out that his mother-in-law's connections were quite wild. It was right to think about it. It was impossible for a lady from aristocratic family to really stay at home and embroider all day long. The people she had known since she was a child all had some background.
After all, the background of a lady from an aristocratic family is different from that of ordinary people, and she is destined to be in a different circle. She was born in Rome, so it is normal for her to meet the best friend of the county magistrate.
"Are you two years younger than Jie'er?" Li Qinzai looked her up and down.
"That's right."
Li Qinzai smiled: "It turns out it's my own family, so that'll be easy..."
The beautiful eyes of Jinxiang County Lord flashed with astonishment. She didn't understand why Li Qinzai's expression and eyes suddenly changed.
He slowly took two steps closer to the Lord of Jinxiang County. The distance between the two of them was already very close at this moment.
"Be good, call me brother-in-law..." Li Qinzai said seductively.
The head of Jinxiang County was stunned: "Why?"
"I am the husband-in-law of your best friend, shouldn't I call you brother-in-law? Come on, brother-in-law will give me a red envelope."
The Lord of Jinxiang County came to his senses and then got angry: "You are dreaming!"
"It's gone, the feelings have faded..." Li Qinzai sighed in frustration.
Theoretically, half of this sister-in-law's butt belonged to him, but in the end she was not even willing to change her mouth.
Therefore, the two women should have a plastic sisterhood, otherwise they would not be so disrespectful.
"Jie'er is Jie'er, and you are you, Governor Li, please respect yourself." The Lord of Jinxiang County said with a pretty face.
Li Qinzai's interest gradually dropped. Being alone in a foreign land, he originally thought he had met a sister-in-law halfway. However, since others did not recognize this brother-in-law, Li Qinzai naturally did not have the hobby of being warm to the cold butt...
If it's literal, I actually don't mind posting it. The key is that people may not want to.
"Okay, Your Highness the County Lord, let me be blunt, what are you doing here?" Li Qinzai said lazily.
The Lord of Jinxiang County said coldly: "There is no food in Bingzhou, and chaos has occurred in the city. I would like to ask Governor Li how to deal with it."
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and said, "I have my own plans, so I don't want the county master to worry about it."
The Lord of Jinxiang County said angrily: "I am also a clan member, why can't I bother? Did you know that the news of merging the state has already reached Chang'an, and at this time, countless officials in the Chang'an court are writing handwritten memorials to impeach you..."
"I'm participating in the impeachment. How can I lose some meat? If you don't even have a bit of face, why should you be an official?" Li Qinzai said nonchalantly.
The Lord of Jinxiang County gradually showed his anger and said: "What about the people in Bingzhou City? You are the father and mother of a city, how can you just watch the people starve to death?"
Li Qinzai stared into her eyes and said coldly: "The grain merchants in the city are driving up grain prices. May I ask if His Highness Prince Teng is involved in this matter?"
The Lord of Jinxiang County said coldly: "I have never been allowed to know about my father's affairs. I don't know."
"If Prince Teng is involved in this matter, how can you be qualified to teach me a lesson? If Prince Teng is not involved, hey, it is a taboo for the vassal king to ask the government in advance and the county master to predict the affairs. Please think twice, county master."
The Lord of Jinxiang County was furious and opened his mouth, but found that he was speechless.
She took the initiative to visit the governor's office because she was indeed concerned about the people's livelihood in Bingzhou and had no other purpose. It is taboo for royal family members to ask questions about government affairs, but if the purpose is pure, it can also be interpreted as responsibility.
After all, the world belongs to the Li family.
"That's all, pretend I haven't been here. Li Shishi, the lives of nearly a million people in Bingzhou City and the four counties under your jurisdiction depend on you. I hope you will be careful. Otherwise, not only will you become the official of Chang'an, but I will also persuade my father to come.
I'm sorry to impeach you."
After the Lord of Jinxiang County finished speaking, he walked away.
Li Qinzai watched her leave with a smile, his eyes gradually darkened.
In the city of Bingzhou, he could not believe that anyone could be his enemy, including the pure and beautiful county head.
After standing alone in the courtyard for a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly said: "Ah Si, summon the magistrates of the four counties under Bing Prefecture to come and see you."
…………
Jinyang Palace.
This palace is located in Bingzhou City. It was the imperial palace of the Sui Dynasty. When Li Yuan was left in Taiyuan, the Sui Dynasty was already in chaos. Li Shimin asked his father to live in the palace, but Li Yuan sternly refused.
Li Shimin, a cheater, simply got his own father drunk and sent him to the palace. He also colluded with Pei Ji, the deputy eunuch of the palace, to arrange for Li Yuan to sleep with several beautiful palace maids.
After sobering up, Li Yuan was filled with despair. Li Shimin took the opportunity to counterattack, saying that since you were staying in the palace and the maids were sleeping, it was unforgivable to commit such a treason, so why not just rebel.
So Li Yuan had no choice but to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.
This Jinyang Palace is of milestone significance to the Tang Dynasty.
The original intention of the founding of the Tang Dynasty was because the great ancestor Li Yuan did not control his belt. Who would dare to believe it?
Today's Jinyang Palace truly belongs to the Li Tang royal family and has become the Long Qian residence of the Li family.
The palace is still heavily guarded. Its owners are Li Zhi and Empress Wu. Of course, the Emperor and Empress Wu rarely visit Bingzhou, so the palace has almost become a decoration.
However, the palace did not refuse temporary residence by royal family members. For example, Prince Li Yuanying of Teng was eligible to stay in the palace when he passed through Bingzhou.
Li Yuanying and his daughter, the lord of Jinxiang County, have been living in the palace for more than a month. During this period, Li Yuanying and the officials and literati in Bingzhou City held banquets, sang and danced all day long, and talked about everything from poetry to philosophy of life.
Li Yuanying is a very special person. If we want to summarize it, we can only say that he is a dandy among the royal family members. He is not interested in fame and fortune. He only likes liveliness, banquets, cockfighting and dog fighting, poetry and painting, and has a wide range of hobbies. But they are all hobbies that are not part of the real job.
When the Lord of Jinxiang County angrily returned to the palace, in the side hall of the palace, Li Yuanying was fighting with a group of literati. They were surrounding a cricket jar with rat whiskers in their hands and cheering at the top of their lungs. The crickets in the jar turned red. Eyes, the onlookers also became red-eyed.
When the Lord of Jinxiang County entered the side hall, he saw such a smoky scene.
Frowning in disgust, Jin Xiang turned around without saying a word, but was spotted by the sharp-eyed Li Yuanying, who hurriedly called her name loudly: "Rui'er!"
Jin Xiang stopped and looked at him indifferently.
Li Yuanying rubbed his hands and stepped forward, laughing.
Li Rui, the lord of Jinxiang County, was Li Yuanying's third daughter. Because she was beautiful and well-behaved since she was a child, she was favored by Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying often went on ceremonial trips and traveled around the world, always taking the lord of Jinxiang County with him.
"What's going on Rui'er? She's so angry. Who made my good daughter angry?"
Li Rui said coldly: "Nothing, my father is well, and my daughter will not disturb him anymore."
Li Yuanying grabbed her sleeve and said, "Go away quickly and tell your father that anyone who dares to make you angry is my enemy and I will kill him."
Li Rui frowned: "My father is a nobleman of the Tian family, how can he speak so vulgarly? Also, the palace is a royal forbidden area, my father, you summoned these..."
Looking at the mess of so-called literati and celebrities in the side hall, Li Rui couldn't help but sigh helplessly and didn't even bother to say anything.
Who told her to have a crooked father?
After casting a cold glance at the smoky side hall, Jin Xiang turned around and walked out.
Li Yuanying looked at her back, narrowed his eyes, suddenly turned around and shouted: "My daughter is going out today, who will accompany her?"
Several maids outside the palace came over cautiously and saluted Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying's tone became colder and he said, "Tell me, who is making my daughter angry?"
