Lin Xi heard about the bandit suppression all of a sudden, even Zhao Jingyi didn't hear the news before receiving the secret decree. Xi side.

However, there was no chance after all.

The ministers of banditry in Shanxi vaguely heard about it from their own channels, the depth of which, and the reasons for each of them can be guessed to a certain extent. The power involved is not small. The foundation is even more difficult.

When the palace rumors came out faintly, everyone saw it as a joke. You must know that even the King of Liang and the King of Shu might not be able to understand clearly when they went there.

But never thought that Emperor Xia Jing didn't even ask, and directly proclaimed the imperial decree, Prince Dianrui Zhao Jingyi as the main general, led [-] troops into Shanxi to suppress the bandits on the second day, and then ordered the ninth prince Zhao Jingyu to go with him to help deal with the bandits follow-up matters.

The self-willed emperor was really helpless. After nine dynasties, the sharp eyes looked straight at the astonished ministers, and asked with a half-smile: "Do you have any objections to the selection of the lord general?"

Who dares to object?

Others may still find a fault, but who is Prince Ke Rui?After killing Hu Nu twice, even the princess is willing to send it over!

It just seems like killing chickens with a sledgehammer, right?

A minister stepped out, carefully lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, they are just low-ranking bandits. Is the prince's ability to govern the country too condescending?"

"A low-level banditry?" Emperor Xia Jing sneered, his face suddenly darkened, and he scolded loudly, "A low-level banditry has left the dignified governor helpless, and the entire Shanxi army has been defeated? Who will tell me that it is my army? The funds are not enough and I am hungry, or is this bandit has three heads and six arms, God favors? This is a joke, but this joke has actually come true! The book was added to the urgent report and sent to the capital, and it was placed on my desk! "

Xia Jingdi's deafening and angry reprimand suddenly disappeared.

"Shut your mouths, I can't afford to lose this person anymore, my general who protects the country, hehe, he is here to clean up the mess for you!" Emperor Xia Jing pointed down and sneered, then waved his hand again, not wanting to say more She said, "Lao Jiu is getting older, so I should go out and have a look. I will rest assured that I will follow my brother. Bai Aiqing, please choose an entourage to come up, so let's go announce the decree."

Bai Rubai bowed and said, "Yes."

To put it lightly, the Ninth Prince, who should be the most controversial candidate, has already been scolded, so there is no courtier who dares to talk nonsense and pull a tiger's beard.

Therefore, after cutting through the mess quickly, Zhao Jingyi received the order to set off early in the morning when he was still in the suburban camp of Beijing, and there was no time to rush back to the capital to turn over the wall again.

In the end, with a dark face, he hurriedly wrote a letter, "Tell him that the king will come back as soon as possible, don't be angry, and personally apologize to him when the time comes."

Wei Jia took it, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and said loudly: "Yes, this subordinate will hand it over to you personally."

Zhao Jingyi glanced at him with an unhappy expression.

Wei Yi rolled his eyes and didn't want to say more.

Wei Jia sneered awkwardly, "Don't worry, my subordinates will rush back as soon as you get the son's reply, and you will never dare to delay for a moment."

Zhao Jingyi raised one corner of his lips, and hummed casually.

The Ninth Prince's car drove out of the city early in the morning, and joined the army that was already ready to go.

Looking at the rustling man under the Lie Lie banner, the horse kicked and snorted, Zhao Jingyu couldn't help being excited, how could he have witnessed such a masculine scene in the deep palace.

When the car returned to its seat, Zhao Jingyi raised his hand, solemnly raised it slightly, and the lieutenant gave a long roar, "Let's go--", and immediately the horse's hooves sounded, the flag moved, and the 5 horses moved like a 50 army, and gradually moved away.

Suddenly Wei Yi called out: "My lord."

Zhao Jingyi looked up with a feeling, and instantly saw Mr. Changting standing on a high slope in the distance.

In the early morning of spring, there was still a chill, the pure white cloak fluttered slightly, and the jade-like Mr. Lin watched the long queue quietly.Behind him was a short figure, Zhao Yuanrong was holding Lin Xi's cloak with one hand, and waving at him with the other hand, but Zhao Jingyi's gloom for many days was swept away by his unclear face.

If this is the case with the husband, what can the husband ask for?

"Uncle Lin?" The Ninth Prince, who raised the curtain of the carriage, was immediately happy when he saw Lin Xi, and asked Zhao Jingyi who was riding beside the carriage without hesitation, "Brother Rui, can you wait for a while?"

Zhao Jingyi's eyes moved slightly, he raised his hand, and the whole team stopped immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Rui." The Ninth Prince jumped out of the carriage, looked at Zhao Yuanrong who was beside Lin Xi, hesitated for a while, and said, "Rong'er is here too, why don't you go and say a few words with my younger brother, Brother Rui?"

Zhao Jingyi naturally wanted what he wanted, nodded, and walked towards the high slope behind the Ninth Prince.

Lin Xi saw the two coming, got up to greet them, and bowed to salute, "Student has met His Highness Ninth Prince Rui."

Zhao Jingyi moved his fingers, but finally nodded slightly, the Ninth Prince didn't think too much, he helped Lin Xi up, turned around and said to Zhao Jingyi: "Brother Rui, you father and son speak well. Uncle Lin, let's go over there and talk. Don't bother them."

He smiled as he spoke, very considerate.

Zhao Yuanrong looked at his father, although he still had an iceberg face, as if expressionless, but he felt that the surroundings suddenly became much colder, and it was so dark that ink could drip.

Zhao Yuanrong immediately pouted, son is also very important, okay?Don't act like you don't want to talk, you have to rely on him to watch over your uncle during this time, okay?

Zhao Jingyi lowered his head, just in time to see Zhao Yuanrong muttering angrily, and immediately widened his eyes.

As the rumored father who dotes on his only son very much, Zhao Jingyi has to say a few words, "If nothing happens, I will be back before winter, and everything in the mansion will be left to you. Don't be too lazy to forget to practice. If you don't do your homework, you can do things." There must be a degree, and you must not be willful, and when the king returns, he must take the school exam."

"Understood." The father said, and the son listened. Zhao Yuanrong had no choice but to respectfully accept the order, but...he pouted to the other side, "What about him?"

Zhao Jingyi took a deep look at Zhao Yuanrong, and said in a low voice, "Do I need to explain this to the king?"

Zhao Xiaoshi swears that he saw deep contempt in his father's eyes.

Zhao Jingyi ignored him, raised her voice slightly and asked, "Ninth Brother, are you alright?"

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I don't ask for money or people, I only ask for a clear conscience, I only ask for the ins and outs, no matter what, I only ask about the process, as for how to make a decision, it is up to the emperor to decide."

Lin Xi nodded with a smile, "Your Highness is the prince, no one dares to ask your fault." Looking back to see Zhao Jingyi, his eyes met and he couldn't take his eyes off for a moment, "Your Highness, it's getting late, let's go. "

The Ninth Prince looked back and saw Zhao Jingyi looking over, so he replied, "Here we come." Then he told Lin Xi, "Although the weather is getting warmer, Uncle Lin still remember to pay attention to his health, I'm leaving."

"Walk slowly."

When the two left, Lin Xi suddenly heard Zhao Jingyi say: "Lin Xi, take care."

Looking up, I saw that gaze, but in the depth of the coolness, there was a clump of scorching heat. After lowering her eyebrows and smiling slightly, she said loudly, "My lord, have a good journey."

As soon as the army left, Lin Xi focused on nothing but sprinting behind closed doors. Years of hard study was just for this last single-tree fight.

Old Mr. Bai is a three-yuan Jidi, and his young apprentice has already won the first prize, and he never thought about teaching another three-yuan Jidi. Even because of the emperor's preference, as long as he can win the first prize in the exam, he must have all the palace exams in his hands.

Therefore, the requirements for Lin Xi are even stricter.

In a blink of an eye, spring goes and autumn comes, and at the end of autumn and winter solstice, the Shanxi army still has not returned.

The banditry poses no threat to the [-] elite troops, they will be trapped in the mountains within a month, if Zhao Jingyi didn't want to kill them all, it wouldn't even take ten days.

The faint news came, Lin Xi stayed at home and paid attention to the scene silently.

Sure enough, there are only a few vicious gangsters, and those who are not afraid of the court are even rarer. If they were not forced to do so, how could they go to Liangshan?

Zhao Jingyi's letter explained the whole story in a few brief strokes, but the Ninth Prince was much more specific.

The reason is simple and bloody: the son of Linshan County Cheng saw the beautiful wife of Zhang Si, the leader of the bandit, and forcibly occupied Zhang Si while he was working. His wife humiliated herself and hanged herself. , Zhang Si sued the county magistrate of Linshan, the county magistrate covered up and sentenced the muddled case, and accused Zhang of forty or fifty sticks, and his father closed his eyes in despair because no one was looking after him.His family was ruined and he was publicly taunted by the county magistrate's son. Zhang Si lost his composure and killed the county magistrate's son by mistake, and was finally forced to go to Linshan.

Linshan County is not big, but there are many villages, and it is oppressed a lot on weekdays. Zhang Si led the robbery of several wealthy households, and distributed the property and food to the villagers of each village, and the team grew stronger.Shanxi Fuzhou is the wife and uncle of the magistrate of Linshan County. Afterwards, the officials guarded each other layer by layer and deceived each other. Many Shanxi troops came from various villages. Naturally, they had no combat power at all, and some even killed them directly. Commander, the matter is slowly getting bigger and bigger, and finally reached the front of the imperial court.

This case was easy to hear, and there was no need to confront the imperial court. The county magistrates at the bottom level arrested one by one, and lost their heads directly.

However, it has become more difficult to go deeper, which is the main reason why the army has been stranded until now.

"Shanxi is close to the western border. When the Hunu and Xiyi coalition forces attacked the western border five years ago, the horse bandits at the border of the two countries took advantage of the opportunity. The city's destruction has a lot of 'credit'. The coalition forces surrendered and withdrew from the western border for tens of miles, Zhao Jingyi gathered up all the troops and then dealt with the gang of desperadoes, perhaps some of them fled into Shanxi."

The nine princes didn't know about it, but Prince Rui knew that Lin Xi handed the letter to Zhao Yuanrong.

"Uncle, you are saying that these lunatics entered Linshan and became bandits, and they encouraged them."

Lin Xi sneered, "It's better to say that Zhao Si is a puppet than a bandit leader."

"Is the father going to catch them?"

Back then, Zhenxi Prince's Mansion lost too quickly and too strangely, Zhao Jingyi didn't have many clues.But the oily mines are too attractive, without the Jiangnan Bank, and if you lose this, the Prince's Mansion will not be able to make ends meet.One only needs to think about it carefully to guess that these people must still be nearby, and indeed the clue came.

And the emperor is an emperor after all, so he can always guess a little bit.

Lin Xi touched Zhao Yuanrong's head and said softly, "No, it's the Ninth Prince."
