Uncle, I didn't mean to tease you

Liu An and Jin Lusheng hadn't seen each other for many days, and they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw each other again, and they talked to each other for a long time.

Jin Lusheng has not been in business with his father for a long time, but now he can pretend to be his old business because of his official duties, so he feels a sense of belonging.

In addition, he often talked about the business with Yang Zheng before, and now he was finally able to go with the caravan with him, so he was as happy as if he had picked up a big deal.

Seeing that he was so excited, Liu An didn't want to spoil his interest, so she asked him a lot of interesting things that happened in the past few days, and told him the interesting things about getting along with Shen Shinian and the others in the past few days.

"Is he also the lieutenant general of the young commander? Isn't that the same as General Yang?" Jin Lusheng was suddenly very interested in Shen Shinian after hearing Liu An talk about riding and shooting with Shen Shinian.

Liu An nodded and said: "The temper is also very similar to General Yang, you will compete with me for the first time when you meet, you are very competitive."

"Then I'll meet him, but I'm afraid he won't pay attention to me, a leading soldier." Jin Lusheng said with some regret.

"General Yang can call you brothers and sisters, it doesn't matter if you are a big soldier or not." Liu An said: "But the future will be long, don't rush for a while, sooner or later we will get acquainted."

That's true, Jin Lusheng secretly thought, Shen Shinian and Yang Zheng should also be acquainted, based on his relationship with Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng's acquaintances will sooner or later become his acquaintances.

The two teenagers chattered together for a while, and Yang Zheng took the opportunity to summarize the news they had inquired over the past few days.

It turned out that they followed Lao Jin's caravan and not only went around Beijiang, but even crossed Linjiang to Liangliao.

Linjiang is between Dayu and Daxia Kingdom, the river is not wide, and you can vaguely see the scene on the other side from this bank, but it has become a clear dividing line between the two countries.

When the two countries were at war before, it was because of this river that the battle was very stalemate, so it was delayed for several years.If Daxia hadn't had internal troubles and took the initiative to show weakness, I am afraid that this battle would not be over for a while.

The two Liaos are both on the north bank of the Linjiang River. It stands to reason that they are closer to Daxia. They should be subordinate states of Daxia. Yu, therefore, has always been a vassal state of Dayu.

"You actually crossed Linjiang? Doesn't that mean you've reached the territory of Dongliao?" He Qing asked.

Yang Zheng said: "It's not just Dongliao? We also went to Xiliao. If I didn't think about the truce with Daxia, I would still go to Daxia to have a look."

Liu Jing was not very surprised. He knew a little about Lao Jin's caravan before, and knew that their merchants had no geographical distinction. As long as there were local shops that cooperated with them all the year round, they would not attract inquiries and doubts.

That's why he asked Lao Jin for help.

"Over there, the caravan's pass qualification has not been revoked, which means that the fight is not strong?" Liu Jing asked.

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "They were originally two small countries not much bigger than Beijiang City. If they really fought, it would take three days for them to be defeated."

What he said sounds exaggerated, but it is not unreasonable.According to common sense, the smaller a country is, the less it can withstand the consumption of war, so their usual style is to attach themselves to a powerful country, just to keep their own sovereignty. As for other things like the status of a country, they are not Very concerned.

"This time, the Western Liao will fight the Eastern Liao. It is said that the fishermen of the two countries clashed on the Linjiang River. A group of fishermen from the Western Liao disappeared for no reason. They believed that they were detained by the Eastern Liao, so they came to negotiate. Unexpectedly, the Eastern Liao Liao didn't admit it, and that's the reason for the later conflict." Yang Zheng said.

What a national war caused by a group of fishermen!

Two small countries with the same root and the same origin have been peacefully coexisting for so many years. Who knew that this kind of thing happened when Dayu and Daxia just had a truce. The more you think about it, the more strange it becomes.

"Is there any clue about the whereabouts of the fisherman?" Liu Jing asked: "I guess, this matter may really have nothing to do with Dong Liao."

Sure enough, Yang Zheng nodded, and said mysteriously: "It happened that the caravan was going to collect a batch of dried fish and shrimp, so I specifically inquired about the fishermen in Liangliao. This matter has nothing to do with Dongliao, but You must have no idea who is behind it."

Liu Jing glared at Yang Zheng, signaling that he would be beaten if he failed again.

Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Those missing fishermen were brought to Chizhou at a high price, and they are all fishing in Chizhou now."

Liu Jing and He Qing glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

At this time, Liu An had finished talking with Jin Lusheng, walked to sit beside Liu Jing, and asked, "Isn't that the sixth prince's fiefdom?"

"That's right." Yang Zheng said, "Those fishermen were taken away overnight by the Sixth Prince."

"You can find out such things, but can't people from Xiliao find out?" Liu Jing asked.

Yang Zheng said: "This is the crux of the matter. The sixth prince took the fishermen away, and he did so quietly. After Xi Liao made a move against Dong Liao, he released the news again, but at that time the misunderstanding had already caused consequences. .”

This is naked provocation.

Xiliao has already made a move against Dongliao, and the two countries have formed a bridge. Even if there is a truce, it is impossible to restore the previous harmony in a short time.More importantly, the conflict between the two Liaos is directly related to the attitude of Daxia and Dayu. It is better to say that this matter is to provoke the two Liaos than to provoke Daxia and Dayu.

Liu An was keenly aware of the crux of the matter, so he asked: "Since the Sixth Prince has released the news, it means that the Liang Liao already know that this is a misunderstanding, and they should have ceased fighting, right?"

"Since this is the case, why didn't the Beijiang government directly report the truth about the capital, but lied about the military situation and tricked the young general into Beijiang?" Liu An asked, "Is there any conspiracy here?"

Hearing this, Liu Jing looked at Liu An and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about me?"

"Uh... I just think it's too strange." Liu An avoided Liu Jing's gaze uncomfortably, and continued: "And I don't understand why the Sixth Prince would do this."

The sixth prince is Dayu's prince, and doing such a thing that provokes the relationship between the two countries is of no benefit to him, and it is likely to cause disaster, so why does he still do this?

Liu An didn't understand, but Liu Jing knew.

After the sixth prince came to Chizhou, he has never been back to the capital. He refused to return to Beijing to report on his work on the grounds of feeling unwell during the New Year's Eve just passed and the last New Year's Eve.

Everyone in the court knew that the emperor had always loved his sixth brother very much, but they didn't know why the sixth prince never cared about his elder brother, it could almost be said that he was very disrespectful.

If it was someone else, the emperor could have punished him for "big disrespect" in a fit of anger, but this person is the sixth prince, of course the emperor would not say anything, and would send people to send various supplements and medicinal materials to Chizhou.

Everyone knows whether the sixth prince is really unwell or an excuse. The emperor did this to show his attitude - my own brother, I will not be angry no matter what.

"Do you still remember what happened during the autumn hunt last year?" Liu Jing asked suddenly.Liu An didn't know which part he was referring to, so she nodded and waited for him to continue.

Liu Jing said: "Pan Wenjie's actions would make anyone furious, but why did His Majesty be so tolerant at the time, and in the end he didn't even deal with Pan Wenjie, only a symbolic punishment for his salary."

Liu An thought for a moment, then said, "Because Pan Wenjie didn't lead this matter."

"Yes." Liu Jing said: "Your Majesty's ability to endure such calculations is nothing but out of indulgence to the Sixth Prince. He could endure that day, and he can endure it today."

In the Dayu Dynasty, all scheming officials knew how to please the emperor, and they also knew where the emperor's Ni Lin was.

The Sixth Prince's actions were very blunt and undisguised, but the officials in Beijiang were not stupid. If they reported the truth, they would have confirmed the crime of the Sixth Prince's instigating civil strife. The truth is, if it is dealt with, I may feel unhappy in my heart.

At that time, it is self-evident who the unlucky person is.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Beijiang government officials simply pretended to be stupid and reported the cause of the incident to the palace. At that time, whether the emperor sent someone to investigate or deal with it otherwise, it had nothing to do with Beijiang.

"These dog officials are too shameless, aren't they? For fear of taking responsibility, they pretend to be crazy and foolish. If it is self-defeating, who will be responsible!" Jin Lusheng said angrily.

Liu An said, "It's understandable for them to do this to protect themselves. It's not them who have the problem, it's the one on the dragon chair!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, they didn't expect Liu An to say the words so bluntly, fortunately there were no outsiders present, so they were not afraid that the words would spread.

"Then what should we do? Isn't this a hot potato?" Jin Lusheng said, "If we don't report it, that would be deceiving the emperor. If we report it, we will offend the emperor!"

Liu Jing couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, this is really a problem.He even suspected that the emperor had already known it well, and he might have sent himself to make things difficult for him.

"I don't think it's that difficult." Liu An suddenly said: "Since the matter happened to the Sixth Prince, why don't we start with him."

"I know, this is the person who needs to tie the bell to untie it." Jin Lusheng said, "But we are not familiar with the sixth prince, so he may not be willing to untie it for us."

Liu An chuckled lightly and said, "Have you forgotten how I, a loyal general, got here?"

Everyone suddenly realized that Liu An once saved the life of the sixth prince!

The author has something to say: Emperor: My younger brother is so good at making things, I am so tired...

People across the country: deserve it!
