I was a salted fish in ancient times

When Xu Guang saw Xie Zhui ask, Yin Tong spoke out what he had been holding back for a long time, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Xie Zhui was the one who suffered the most from the rumors about their return to Beijing earlier.Just because of Xie Zhui's status as the little brother, because he became a Li Wangjun.

Gossip is at most harmful to a man's reputation, but it can be fatal to a brother and a woman.

The person who spread those words may want to provoke the relationship between Xie Zhui and the Northern Border Army, so that the two sides will never have anything to do with each other again. Maybe it is because they simply don't like that a little brother like Xie Zhui can become a Li Wangjun. Maybe there are other reasons .

Yin Tong is the person who admires Xie Zhui the most. He has a rough personality and doesn't think it's wrong for a little brother to be a general. Whoever has the ability will be the one.So in Yin Tong's eyes, Xie Zhui was still the great general back then, not Li Wangjun.

He suddenly shouted the word general.

But no matter what the situation is, Xu Guang doesn't want Xie Zhui to get involved in gossip because of them.

This should not be accepted by Xie Zhui.

Fortunately, Xiao Shan is here today, last time it was obvious that he was very protective of Xie Zhui, and this time he was the first to ask, so there would be no misunderstanding.

Thinking of this, Xu Guang also heaved a sigh of relief.

As for the issue between them and Zuo Li, in the final analysis it is a matter of power.

Xie Zhui is already King Li, Xie Chen is blind, and there is no place for Xie's family in the northern army.

Zuo Li intends to take the position of General of the North.

It's just that although he was born in the capital, his family background is ordinary, and there are many people who are staring at the position of the general in the north.

But Zuo Li has something that these people don't have. He has great military achievements and is a famous person with the emperor.

Zuo Li's family wanted to push Zuo Li to the top, but now they lacked a little help and their family background couldn't keep up, so the Zuo family chose to take the road of marriage.

So this time when they returned to Beijing, the Zuo family showed Zuo Lixiang a lot of houses. The ones with a slightly lower lintel were sent out by the concubine's daughter and elder brother, and the ones with a slightly higher lintel were sent out by the concubine under the mother's name.

Xu Guang and Yin Tong didn't know much about the situation in the capital, but after inquiring from many sources, they also knew that these portals were more or less related to those aristocratic families in the capital.

Behind the aristocratic family, there are often powerful ministers and princes standing behind them.

The courtiers fighting for military power in the northern border meant that the prince behind him was fighting.

What's more, Xie Zhui has great prestige in the northern border army. Behind Xie Zhui is King Li, and behind King Li is the crown prince.

As for the military power in the northern border, I believe the prince is bound to win.

It is dangerous for Zuo Li to use marriage to pave the way for himself. Sometimes the Zuo family does not take the initiative to contact some people who are not princes, but others want to contact them.

Zuo Li is different from Xu Guang and Yin Tong.

Their family is relatively simple, they don't have a huge family business, and they don't have too many relatives, but Zuo Li's family is in the capital, and they have other thoughts more or less.Even if Zuo Li didn't have his family, there would be.

It is understandable for Zuo Li to take care of the family and even obey the family's arrangements.

The most uncomfortable thing for Xu Guang and Yin Tong is that Zuo Li's family regards them as Zuo Li's potential competitors, and Zuo Li finally chooses to alienate them actively.

The three of them used to climb out of the dead together, and they were sworn brothers with different surnames, but now because of the position of a northern general, they began to doubt them.

They also couldn't tell whether they were fascinated by the prosperity of the capital or whether people's hearts were changeable.

Now Yin Tong can't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly back to the north immediately.In the northern border, when the enemy comes, they will fight, and when they are free, they will train.

Don't think about these twists and turns at all.

Xu Guang also felt that it was boring to stay in the capital, but the emperor had never been sure what to say, and they couldn't go back for a while.

Even if they go back, if Zuo Li really becomes the Great General of the Northern Territory, it will always be awkward for them to meet again.

Of course, even in this situation, Xu Guang and Yin Tong would not really complain, after all, there is the prince Xiao Shan.

Even though it's been a long time, I can't hide it.

But Xu Guang still opened his mouth and said: "My lord, Wang Jun, don't listen to Yin Tong's complaints. He has been in the capital for too long and misses the northern border."

Yin Tong knew what he meant, and agreed: "Yes, although the capital is prosperous, but the officials are born to work hard, so I still want to go back and have a look."

Xie Zhui said: "That's fine." There are too many calculations in the capital, maybe one day he will fall into someone else's trap.

It is also a good thing to return to the pure border land.

Hearing Xie Zhui's answer, both Xu Guang and Yin Tong laughed.

Some people in this world will change, but some people will not.Perhaps some time in the future, they will change, but now they are still innocent.

In fact, after hearing Yin Tong's complaints, Xie Zhui had an idea in his heart. Zuo Li was his lieutenant general, so he knew Zuo Li better.

Compared with Yin Tong's straightforward personality and Xu Guang's delicate thoughts, Zuo Li seems to be carefree, but he is smoother and calmer in dealing with things.Xie Zhui left, and it was reasonable for Zuo Li to want to go up.

It's just that this road is not easy to walk.

Xie Zhui was able to gain a firm foothold in the Northern Frontier Army, apart from his lunatic bravery on the battlefield, it was mainly due to the prestige of several generations of the Xie family.

But everyone has their own pursuit, Xie Zhui has nothing to say about it.

Xiao Shan's eyes were bright, his mind turned a few times, and he thought a lot in an instant.

But he didn't say much, it's a good thing to have ambition, as long as it doesn't hurt others, it's just a personal choice.Furthermore, this group of upright soldiers didn't think about anything in the capital that could be hidden from the emperor.

Maybe the emperor put the three of them here to test them.

Walking out of Wanxiangju, Yin Tong and Xu Guang bid farewell, Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui had no intention of going to other places.

The two returned home.

Xie Zhui was not in a good mood, so Xiao Shan used his body to comfort him.

In the next two days, the sky in the capital suddenly changed.

Of the officials Xiao Shan and Zong Qing brought back from Jiangnan, except for Liu Jingxuan, the emperor dealt with them.

The smallest crime is dismissal for investigation, confiscation of family property, and repatriation to the place of origin.

Most of them are killed with those businessmen who use money and beauty.

As for the relatives of these people, except for those who have meritorious service and have clean hands, although the others are not included in the beheading list, they are all registered as lowly.

The meritorious emperor lenient the net and asked them to pay several times the silver in exchange for freedom.

In addition, Zhang Ruozhi, the magistrate of Yangzhou who had nothing to do with this matter, was sentenced to the cane and deprived of his official position. The literary beauty in the palace, the goddaughter recognized by Mrs. Zhang Ruozhi, was thrown into the cold palace.

The emperor was furious, and the ground in the capital was stained red with blood.

The murderous spirit spread from the capital to the four realms, and everyone was in danger for a while.

Xiao Shan knew in his heart that what the emperor was most angry about was that those officials dared to use tricks on him.

Jiangnan's silver and beauties have become things that can be used, forming a line.If he hadn't been discovered this time, he wouldn't have known that there was a 'Yangzhou Slim Horse' beside him who had been deliberately trained |

In the past few days, imperial edicts from the capital have been sent to Jiangnan one by one.

Every dish is bloody.

Xiao Shan listened to the emperor's will and remained silent for a long time without speaking.

He thought, it's better to be a rich and idle prince, because it's too easy for the emperor to kill people.

After dealing with this group of people, the emperor's eyes finally set on Liu Jingxuan.

In the end, the emperor approved Liu Shu's resignation, but did not allow people to return to their ancestral home. At the same time, the emperor ordered Liu Jingxuan to be exiled for two thousand miles to Suning.

Suning is the most remote city in the north, where the living conditions are very difficult, and not many people can survive there for five years.

The emperor showed affection for Liu Jingxuan, but at the same time, he showed that life and death are fate.In the bitter cold place, he can survive if he can survive, but if he can't, it is God's will.

The princess fainted immediately after hearing the news.

When she woke up, it was already dark and Xiao Jin was sitting by the bed.

Liu Jingyi looked at Xiao Jin, bit her lips tightly, tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Jin looked back at her and said: "Father has shown mercy and did not drive father-in-law out of Beijing. You must take good care of your health. You are the princess, they all need you."

With tears streaming down her eyes, Liu Jingyi asked calmly, "How long can I remain a princess?"

Xiao Jin didn't understand what she meant, and couldn't help frowning.

Liu Jingyi smiled and said, "How can a princess and concubine without father or brother have a good life?"

"Why do you think so?" Xiao Jin couldn't help but said: "You are the princess concubine who is married by the lonely matchmaker, who dares to be disrespectful to you? Don't have any resentment in your heart."

Liu Jingyi looked at him, crying and laughing, then she slowly closed her eyes: "His Royal Highness and brother Li Wang are deeply in love, how dare the concubine complain." She said she didn't complain, but she still had complaints in her heart.
