Chapter 455
: Doing alone
The decision of the Nanling Hou was strongly opposed by Lei Shujie, who was in concert.
"Mr. Marquis, the Cao Gang General Hall is located in the deep mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. They occupy the right time, place and people. We are prone to suffer great losses when we go there. Moreover, if the supply in the deep mountains is not timely, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Nanling Hou was irritated. King Jingyue was not here, who was he afraid of? Lei Shoujie's grade was not as high as his, so he dared to question his decision? Nanling Hou felt that he was being looked down upon. He immediately glared at Lei Shoujie coldly, "Knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain and going to Tiger Mountain, this is a real man. The Cao Gang was elusive on the river. Lord Lei, as a parent official in Pingyang City, saw them doing something wrong, wouldn't he be worried at night?"
Lei Shoujie clasped his fists, "The lower official was ashamed. It was the lower official who was a parent official in Pingyang City, so he had to consider the people of the entire Pingyang City. The Cao Gang was a bandit, and the Marquis also saw the Cao Gang's style of conduct. The Marquis would either be sure to take them down in one fell swoop, eliminating future troubles, or they could not be moved for the time being. Otherwise, the people of the entire Pingyang City would suffer."
The irritable Marquis of Nanling did not listen to his advice and scolded Lei Shoujie with a stern face, "Mr. Lei, it is not our style to be greedy for life and fear of death. The Cao Gang will not be eliminated for a day, and the emperor will be uneasy for a day. Lord Lei retreats without fighting. If it is passed into the emperor's ears and the emperor blames him, this marquis will not be able to withstand it."
When Lei Shouge saw that he actually began to threaten him, he cursed Nanling Hou a few more words in his heart. He was really helpless when the Nanling Hou saw him not hitting the Nanling Hou and he would not look back if he hit the Nanling Hou, so he would hit the Nanling Hou and turn back if he hit the Nanling Hou.
"The lower official is just reminding the marquis that since the marquis is determined to act alone, the lower official should let the marquis give his orders." Lei Shoujie said a little rudely, obviously, he was dissatisfied.
Marquis of Nanling was so angry that his teeth were itchy. After making up his mind to go back, he must sue the emperor for the crime of thunder guards.
The two parted in disagreement.
Marquis of Nanling sat alone in the post station and sulked. A guard came in and reported, "Mr. Marquis, King Jingyue is happy to receive the prince today, and the people of Pingyang City are celebrating."
Nanling Hou...
He was considering whether to send the news that Princess Jing had a child safely back to the capital. After a moment, he couldn't help laughing. Princess Jing was pregnant in the capital. This was not the time when the melon was ripe. He guessed that the emperor and the queen mother must be prepared, and with the emperor's temperament, they would not stop installing people in Pingyang City.
It would be better for him not to get involved in such small things. However, King Jingyue was happy to get a noble son, and he was in Pingyang City, so he had to send a gift. The gift was not enough to be given lightly.
But what is the right gift? As soon as the Marquis of Nanling was thinking that he had received the fat, but he had to pay a gift and put in it. He was very angry.
Therefore, in order to return and to make a comeback, and for the sake of its own interests, the Cao Gang's affairs cannot be delayed any longer.
"Come." The Marquis of Nanling sent an order and a guard came out. "Go to the Silver House to buy the most expensive golden lock."
The gift was delivered to the villa by Marquis of Nanling in person. After many days, Zhao Jingyun finally met Marquis of Nanling again.
After the Marquis of Nanling congratulated Zhao Jingyun, after the two of them said a lot of unnutritional words, he finally talked about going to attack the Cao Gang base camp.
Zhao Jingyun had actually known the news for a long time. He deliberately pretended not to know it, pondered for a while and persuaded him, "Mr. Xu is the imperial envoy. The emperor ordered the suppression of bandits. Master Xu's approach is reasonable. However, I want to give Lord Xu some advice."
"Prince, please speak." The Marquis of Nanling dared not be presumptuous in front of Zhao Jingyun.
"The Caogang General Hall is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Lord Xu wants to attack for a strong force, it is afraid it will not be easy. Can Lord Xu have other ways to eliminate the strong force?" Zhao Jingyun asked slowly.
When it comes to combat methods, Nanling Hou was a little embarrassed. What good way could he do? "If you can't attack forcefully, the lower officials will lead people around the exit. The lower officials don't believe that the five or six thousand people in the Cao Gang can have, and they must eat and drink as much food and material support as much as they can support."
Zhao Jingyun laughed out loud, and looked at Nanling Hou with a little more sarcasm and pity.
The Marquis of Nanling felt insulted, and he was still afraid to get angry.
"Mr. Xu is indeed not from Pingyang City, so he took it for granted."
The Marquis of Nanling clasped his fists and said, "The emperor is ignorant, please let the prince make a clear statement."
Zhao Jingyun glanced at him and said, "Does Lord Xu know how long the Cao Gang existed? They were originally boatmen on the river, but later there were many people, so they were entangled together. It can be said that there were so many people in the past dynasty, eating, drinking, defecating, and if there were no arrangements, they would be in trouble."
"What does the prince mean?" Nanling Hou asked embarrassedly.
"They live like ordinary people on weekdays. Women and children open land and farm, and even have their own tea gardens. Even children, as long as they enter the water, they are still a water dragon. What's more amazing is that they live on the mountain and are also familiar with the forests. It's not that I want to attack Lord Xu, but the people brought by Lord Xu are good at fighting on the plains, but when they are placed in the forests, Lord Xu thinks they are better than the native Cao Gang?"
Sweat beads slowly emerged from the forehead of the Marquis of Nanling. Although the King of Jingyue did not explicitly say that he did not agree with him to attack the Cao Gang, the meaning in the words was obvious.
Did he just give up like that? Nanling Hou felt unwilling to accept it.
"Of course, I just give Lord Xu some advice. As for how to do it, it depends on Lord Xu." Zhao Jingyun changed the subject and handed the steps to Marquis of Nanling.
The Marquis of Nanling hurriedly thanked, "The Lord thanked the Prince for his support, and the Lord even considered the matter of suppressing bandits."
Zhao Jingyun nodded slightly, "I have to take care of my son, so I won't leave Lord Xu."
"Your Majesty, please be polite, the official understands." Nanling Hou forced out a smile. Bastard, he was driven out by Zhao Jingyun again.
After Nanling Hou left, Zhao Jingyun looked at the gift box on the table, then opened the gift box, and a big golden lock with a son passing the imperial examination was quietly placed in the box.
He chuckled, then covered the box and "Put it in the warehouse and put it in it."
The butler agreed and hurried out with the box.
Zhao Jingyun got up and went to the backyard to see his wife and son happily.
The little baby was particularly lively when he was in Lin Qingqian's belly. Lin Qingqian thought that after the little guy was born, he would definitely be a noisy child. The facts were contrary to what she thought. After the child was born, except for what he had to eat and physically needed, he was simply unpretentious.
The day of washing three is coming in a blink of an eye.
It is a big deal for the prince to have a noble son. I don’t know how many people want to come and see the noble family in Pingyang City. However, Zhao Jingyun had already spoken out that the other courtyard only welcomed close relatives. Others wanted to come and wait until the child was full month old before talking.
Well, when it comes to close relatives, there are only the Lin family.
Lin Pan and his wife had been thinking about this for a long time. All the female relatives had used gold locks, such as nine sons passing the imperial examination, precious son winning the prize, and Baijia Lock. The little guy took a lot of gold locks in just three days.
Lin Yuan and Lin Jingxing gave jade, the best jade, even if the royal palace is not short, it will be desirable.
The weather is hot in summer, and the child is not afraid of catching a cold when he washes three times. The woman is gentle and her movements are gentle but not slow. The little guy stretches his body happily, making people feel happy when he sees it.
The Wenpo was also happy. Not only did the prince give a generous reward, but just washed the child three times today, the golden beans and silver beans thrown in by the Lin family, and these belong to them.
"Have you named it?" Lin Jingxing asked.
"Zhao Heng." Zhao Jingyun replied with a smile, his eyes still falling on the baby in his arms.
Eternal! Good!
The little baby Zhao Heng didn't give him face and started humming in Zhao Jingyun's arms.
Seeing this, Ping's mother smiled and said, "The prince is hungry."
The child had to look for his mother to have breastfeeding. Zhao Jingyun didn't bother to talk to everyone, "You can do it yourself." After that, he happily carried his son to the backyard.
It is said that men hug their grandsons but not their sons. Everyone was happy to see Zhao Jingyun, who was enjoying it, as Lin Qingqian's family, just felt happy.
Lin Qingqian never knew that he was decisive in killing. The clever and calm Zhao Jingyun was still a petty guy in private. Zhao Jingyun loved children, just like Lin Qingqian. He gave all the love he lacked in childhood to his wife and son.
But when he saw his son holding his rice bowl and lying in Lin Qingqian's arms and eating, his jealous eyes turned red. Even though his rice bowl was his welfare, his son now took over.
Zhao Heng was confusing his food, sucking in his mouth, and holding it with his hands on his hands without giving in at all.
Zhao Jingyun was jealous and angry, so he deliberately pushed his little hand away. Zhao Heng was unhappy, so he raised his little hand again and grabbed the bowl and protected the food. Zhao Jingyun pushed his hand away again and he lifted it up again, and he was not annoyed. It is normal for a son to be childish, but it is abnormal for me to be so childish.
Lin Qingqian glared at Zhao Jingyun fiercely in anger. To be honest, she was a little embarrassed to feed the child in front of Zhao Jingyun.
But Zhao Jingyun didn't feel embarrassed, and he was interested in watching his son eat. He called him "accompanying his son."
Lin Qingqian couldn't persuade him, so he had to think that he didn't exist.
"Marquis Nanling stayed in Pingyang for so long, when will he leave?" Lin Qingqian asked in confusion. She didn't want Marquis Nanling to know about corn.
The corn sown after Qingming Festival has now produced ears. It is very large, with at least one ear on one plant, and there are three ears. The farmers in the village protect it as treasures and have to go over and take a look every day.
Corn has good insect resistance. Even if there are insects, it is still very large. People in the village can catch the insects by walking around the ground every now and then.
"It's almost done." Zhao Jingyun didn't want her to worry about trivial matters, "It's easy to get him out of Pingyang."
Lin Qingqian sighed, "It's better to get out before the autumn harvest."
The Marquis of Nanling did not know whether King Jingyue and his wife regarded him as a thief guard. He was unwilling to give up. Zhao Jingyun and Lei Shoujie clearly reminded him, but he still led his troops to find the Cao Gang General Assembly.
The Cao Gang headquarters was located on the mountain, and the Marquis of Nanling led his troops to the entrance of the gorge and could not enter. Lei Shoujie was unhappy and was only willing to follow them. For this reason, Nanling Hou had more objections to him.
