The most powerful minister in the world

At night, in the west courtyard of Jing Mansion, Jing Xi knelt at the door of the study. The lights were still on in the room, and a dark figure could be vaguely seen leaning over the table and writing something.

An hour passed, the moon was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the coldness in the air became more and more biting. Jingxi gently rubbed his knees. At this moment, the black shadow in the room moved, and Jingxi straightened up immediately.

"Hey~ Isn't this General Right? Why are you kneeling in front of my study? Get up quickly, I can't bear it!"

Jing Xi pouted and said unconvinced, "If you want to scold me, then scold me, if you want to hit me, hit me, don't be arrogant." After saying that, he turned his head to the side, not looking at Jing Lixiao.

Jing Lixiao raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Get up and go back to your room. You are not allowed to go out these days!"

"Just come back, what's the big deal?"

After saying that, Jingxi stood up and walked away angrily, leaving Jing Lixiao with his hands in his sleeves and sighing against the pitch-black sky.

Early the next morning, Jingxi climbed over the wall and ran out. He almost fell down when he jumped off the wall rock. "You said you wouldn't let me go out, so I have to listen to you. You're not my biological father, so~"

"Master, I can go wherever I like, you can't control it, just a little bit~"

Just when Jing Xi secretly taunted Jing Lixiao like a monkey slapping his butt, a hand suddenly placed on his shoulder, making him tremble all over. He slowly turned his head and saw that it was none other than yesterday. He asked Xiaobai to deliver the letter to General Wang, Wang Dieliu, who was in his hands.

This man was the guerrilla general of the Ninth Battalion of the Mangtou Black Cavalry. He was in his thirties, but he was promoted by Jingxi. At that time, Jingxi became the right general of the Jing family army at the age of sixteen and took over the ninth to eleventh battalions. Wang Dieliu was the commander-in-chief at that time, and it can be said that he had the lowest official position among military commanders.

The reason why he now spans from deputy commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief Qian, deputy garrison, garrison, commanding officer, commanding envoy, to the current guerrilla general is because Jingxi attacked Yongze in the second year after he was promoted to right general. When he entered the city, he led less than a hundred men to annihilate more than a thousand Chen Guo's rescue cavalry, and beheaded his guerrilla generals.

The reason why Jingxi gained a great reputation in the army was because he dared to promote meritorious generals. The first thing he did when he took office was to declare that whenever a soldier from the 9th to 11th Battalions captured an enemy officer, his reward would be to promote him to the rank of The official position of the officer killed.

It has to be said that since this general order spread among the three battalions, their combat effectiveness and morale have been rising steadily. The work that was originally supposed to be done by the Sixth and Seventh Battalions was sometimes completed in advance by them, and all the loot on the battlefield was swept away. As for Guang, this matter was reported to Jing Lixiao by the leopard-headed black knight. Unexpectedly, the commander turned a blind eye and didn't mention it.

"General, what are you doing?" Wang Dieliu asked in confusion when he saw that Jingxi had a door and wanted to climb over the wall.

"Stop asking. If you're not training in the mountains, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Wang Dieliu looked around and saw many pedestrians, so he took Jing Xi to a secluded place.

"If you fart, let it go. Did Leopard Head catch you again?"

Wang Dieliu sighed. He had been injured a lot during these years on the battlefield, which made the general who originally had the title of Fire Sword Six look a little older. Now he seemed a little depressed for some reason, which made Jingxi feel that something was wrong. Feeling strange, he asked: "What is going on?"

"Last night, I received an order from the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief asked me to rush here quickly this morning. I guess there is probably a scapegoat for what happened last night, right?" Wang Dieliu winked at Jingxi as he spoke. .

Jingxi immediately kicked him on the butt and cursed: "You're just moaning and groaning in front of me because of something like this. Don't forget that I promoted you to be a general!"

"Hehe~ Look at what you said. I didn't say anything else. I'm mainly worried that I won't be able to stay with the general in the future."

Jingxi made a sound, kicked away the pebbles at his feet, licked his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you go if you want to leave. How easy it is for you to use it. Don't worry about the old man. It's probably just a beating." You don’t have to worry about getting banned and demoted or whatever.”

After hearing this, Wang Dieliu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Then I'll be relieved. It doesn't matter if I get beaten up and demoted. As long as I can follow the general, I'm happy to be a horse leader."

"Okay, okay, just put it away, don't interfere with my business, just go about your business."

Wang Dieliu swept away his previous annoyance and entered Jing's Mansion with a swing of his arms. Jingxi stretched and wandered in the busy city. Pedestrians on the road smiled and called General, and he responded happily. He saw shadow puppets playing on the street. He also stepped forward to join in the fun. The drama he was playing was about him capturing the prince of the enemy country alive. The artists behind the screen almost made him a god.

Alas, if those brothers were still there, he would definitely invite these people to the camp and let the soldiers have fun together.

"General Jing."

A call brought Jingxi back to his senses. He turned around and saw two golden sword guards in flying fish uniforms standing behind him. Looking at the gold medals around their waists, Jingxi's heart trembled.

"General Jing, Your Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace without delay. The carriage is ready. General, please get on board."

At this moment, Jingxi stepped forward and pulled out the golden sword of the guard next to him. The two guards were shocked and took a step back. The golden sword shone brightly in the sun.

"You Jinwuwei's swords look quite intimidating, but you just don't know if they are fast or unpleasant when held on your neck?"

"The general is joking. Compared with your Lingxu sword, it is nothing but scrap metal."

Jingxi handed over the knife and then followed the guard onto the carriage.

In the palace, Emperor Yun Gong of Qianyang was leaning on the dragon couch, listening to Prime Minister Zuo Que, who had just visited the south, reporting on matters.

Prime Minister Zuo Que is a very human minister, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, he has the talent of governing the world, he is smart and sophisticated, he is the head of hundreds of officials, he cares about the country and the people, he is a rare prime minister of a country.

I came into the palace early in the morning before dawn, and I didn't even eat anything. I didn't even have to drink water. I sat next to the fire cauldron and talked for an hour, and my mouth was already dry.

"I read the folder you handed over. You said that bandits are rampant on a large scale in Huaibei, Huainan, Chizhou and other places. Please tell me what's going on."

"Back to Your Majesty," Zuo Que licked his lips and coughed twice, as if to indicate that he was thirsty. When he saw no response, he had to continue. "When I first arrived in Huainan, in order to better find out the huge tax drop, For some reason, he disguised himself as a traveling trader and was almost kidnapped by bandits. Fortunately, he met a Taoist priest from the pilgrimage temple and was able to avert the danger. "

"Ahem... I am also puzzled that bandits are so rampant on this official road. After visiting many places, I learned that most of the bandits in these places have taken over the mountains and become kings, burning, killing and looting in many places, making The people are suffering terribly. The local government has carried out many sieges and suppressions, all of which have severely damaged their vitality. The bandits, instead of reining in, have expanded even more rapidly. I estimate that the bandits on Jiangnan West Road and Huainan Road have reached tens of thousands. "

Yun Gong threw the zhezi in his hand on the table and angrily said: "They are all people who live on dry food. Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road are places where the country has heavy taxes. How can we let them do whatever they want? You draw up a zhezi and let the two provinces." The Yamen will uniformly command the barracks in various places and must annihilate all the bandits."

"According to the order, I have one more thing to do, I want to..."

"Your Majesty, Jingxi is already waiting for orders outside the door. Should he be announced to come in, or..." the great eunuch Qin Si bowed his head and said.

Emperor Qianyang hummed and said: "Let him come in." He turned to Zuo Que and muttered: "This guy is getting more and more bold. Last night he actually took people to the Tianlao to punish Li Junhao." After being tortured, I must cure him."

Zuo Que stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "That boy from the Jing family is indeed a gem, but it's a pity that he is still too young and has a bad temper. With more experience in the future, he will definitely become an important weapon of the country."

"As you can tell, don't I know? After all, he grows up by watching him. I know his temper."

Zuo Que nodded and said nothing. He only heard a loud voice coming from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Jingxi, please pay homage to your Majesty~"
