Chapter 233 Niu Jinda

When Li Ke went south to Yangzhou, in order to avoid delays in the trip by the officials along the way, he drove southward in a light car. He took Xi Junmai, Wang Xuance and a group of royal guards to take the first step, leaving behind the flamboyant little father-in-law Qin Huaidao and the old man. Ma Zhou led the brigade to the south.

Three days after Li Ke arrived in Yangzhou City, Qin Huaidao and Ma Zhou finally arrived in Yangzhou along the canal.

Qin Huaidao and Ma Zhou had just disembarked from the Yangzhou wharf, but after a short rest, they went straight to Li Ke's Linjiang Palace to pay a visit.

"The last general, Qin Huaidao, and the minister Ma Zhou pay homage to Your Highness." Qin Huaidao and Li Ke were young, they practiced martial arts together when they were young, and their relationship with them is different from others. Li Ke.

Li Ke got the news from Kuaima early in the morning, knowing that Qin Huaidao and Ma Zhou were coming today, so he didn't think it was strange. Seeing the two bowing in front of him, they stepped forward to help each other up and said, "Huaidao, King Bin, hurry up." get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Huaidao and Ma Zhou thanked each other and stood up.

Li Ke asked: "Is your journey all the way south going smoothly?"

Qin Huaidao got up and said first: "That's natural. Most of the state and county officials came for His Highness, and His Highness was not among them. I sent them away with just a few words."

All the way to the south of Li Ke, the officials of the prefectures and counties came out to welcome and entertain Li Ke, all because of Li Ke's status as a prince and the festival ax in Li Ke's hands that represented the hunting of the day. Knowing that Li Ke was not among them, those local officials naturally did not like that Earnest.

Li Ke said with a smile: "That's good. Those local officials are really annoying, but it's really inconvenient to offend them. It would be good if they can be sent away."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "It's okay for those state and county officials to entangle. It's just a matter of two days to resist, but what His Highness has done is a bit dishonest."

Right now is the inner hall of Linjiang Palace, and everyone who can appear here is Li Ke's confidant. They all know Qin Huaidao's temperament, and they have long been used to seeing Li Ke joke with Qin Huaidao like this, so they will not feel strange.

However, although others didn't think what Qin Huaidao said was inappropriate, Li Ke was quite puzzled by Qin Huaidao's words. He patted Qin Huaidao's shoulder and asked, "What do you mean by what Huaidao said? Why is this king not being righteous?" ?”

Qin Huaidao laughed and replied: "I have heard about the affair between Your Highness and the fairy lady of Yanyu Tower in Jiangdu, don't you know that you are still a younger brother?"

As Qin Huaidao spoke, he smacked his lips while shaking his head and said, "I've heard for a long time that there are so many beautiful people in Yangzhou, and the prosperity of brothels and tiles is not inferior to that of Chang'an Pingkang Fang. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to go south to show off my talents, but I'm still waiting for you." Before getting off the river boat, the most beautiful flower king peony was picked by His Highness."

Xianniang was born extremely beautiful, and Li Ke admired Xianniang's piano skills very much, but Li Ke never even touched a single strand of her hair, so why did Qin Huaidao talk about the affair.

Li Ke said: "The relationship between this king and Xianniang is not dirty at all. Where can I say that?"

Qin Huaidao was still smiling at first, but when he heard the word "dirty" from Li Ke's mouth, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness's affair with the fairy lady is just a matter of snow, moon and romance, extremely elegant, how can it be dirty."

After hearing Qin Huaidao's words, Li Ke became more and more puzzled, and asked again: "The king really doesn't understand Huaidao's words."

Qin Huai said: "Little brother heard the rumors that His Highness fell in love with the fairy girl of Yanyu Tower at first sight, and they fell in love with each other. Then you can hug the beauty back, is it possible that there is no such thing?"

After hearing Qin Huaidao's words, Li Ke immediately understood.

At the reception banquet that day, Li Ke spoke highly of Xianniang, and mentioned the incident of the canal encounter, which must have caused gossip.

Since ancient times, talented men and beautiful women have been the most popular rumors in the world, and Li Kegui is even more so when he is the prince.Compared with those gifted scholars and beauties who are used to seeing in the rumors, it is obvious that the prince Li Ke is more attractive.

Hearing this, Li Ke waved his hands and said, "I'm still worrying about the letter you sent someone today. Why do you want to go to the brothel and tiles to have fun in your leisure time? Just listen to the rumors in the market, how can you believe it."

Hearing Li Ke mentioning the letter he sent quickly, Qin Huaidao immediately put away the joke on his face.

Qin Huaidao asked with a straight face: "Your Highness is talking about Niu Jinda?"

Li Ke nodded and said: "That's exactly what happened. This king has just arrived in Yangzhou, and he has not had time to rectify the army of the sixteen prefectures under his command. At this time, the imperial court transferred Niu Jinda to Yangzhou. I am afraid it is not a good thing."

When Qin Huaidao was still in Luoyang with a brigade, he got the news from the middle of Beijing that the Ministry of War had newly transferred Zuowei Zhonglang to appoint Niu Jinda as the commanding army of Hanjiang Prefecture to control the army of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Both Qin Huaidao and Ma Zhou felt that this matter was abnormal. As soon as Fang got the news, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse to the south, and Baili rushed to inform Li Ke. Li Ke only got the news two days ago.

Qin Huaidao said to Li Ke: "Niu Jinda is a veteran general in the army. He has been in battle for a long time and has a certain prestige in the army. His transfer from the south this time has indeed added some variables to the Yangzhou army."

Li Ke asked Qin Huaidao: "You should be familiar with Niu Jinda, but do you know how he is?"

Qin Huaidao replied: "Niu Jinda is an old friend of my father's, and was once a general of my father's department. This person charged forward, but he is a good hand when he breaks the city, but he is very stubborn and has always been stubborn. I am afraid that His Highness wants to use him. Not easy."

Niu Jinda is an old general of Tiance Mansion, and he is loyal to Li Shimin. Although Li Ke is a noble prince, but Niu Jin arrived in Yangzhou and served as Li Ke's commanding army of Hanjiang Mansion, so he might not buy Li Ke's account.

Li Ke frowned slightly after listening to Qin Huaidao's words. The governor of Yangzhou, He Xiu, was difficult to deal with. Li Ke hadn't dealt with him properly yet.

Niu Jinda came from the Niu clan in Longxi, and the Niu clan in Longxi was from the Hao family in Guanlong, so Niu Jinda was also from a famous family.

But Niu Jinda's background in the Longyou clan was not a headache for Li Ke. It was Niu Jinda who really gave Li Ke a headache.

Niu Jin Da Wude came to Tang Dynasty in the second year of Wude and paid homage to Tiance Mansion. He was also a minister of Li Shimin's Qiandi.

Such a person was placed in Hanjiang Mansion, Li Ke wanted to do something in private, but naturally he couldn't get around him.

Li Ke said: "Changsun Wuji has taken good care of me. Now that I have left Chang'an and is far away in Yangzhou, he still doesn't forget to trip me up."

Li Ke has left, and now Changsun Wuji is like a fish in water in Chang'an.

Just a few days after Li Kewai was released from Beijing, Changsun Wuji was recommended by the courtiers to take the post of Minister of the Ministry of War with the title of Sikong, in charge of military affairs.

Changsun Wuji had only been in office for a few days, and this incident had nothing to do with him.
