Zhang Wanrong was very satisfied with Li Jing. Not to mention that Qingzhou saved his life, just saying that the gifts Li Jing gave him several times were quite generous, and he was very etiquette when he met. He was very satisfied with such a young man and naturally had to speak for him now.
Lei Gang also said: "I also think that Li Jing is just a young man with some personality, so loyalty is fine. He also said that the matter of Dengzhou was something that the Grand Marshal had promised, so he wanted it."
"Li Jing should be quite reliable. After all, he first became a disciple of Cui Sima and Yu Gong, and later joined General Wen of Song and Wen's unity camp. He always rushed to the front line against the Feng family, Wang family, and Li Jing. He usually lost money and food, but he never hesitated." Someone said again.
Song Wei pondered for a long time before saying, "Li Jing is a talented person, and he is a disciple of Sima Cui. He is just a little too rebellious, and it's okay now. I'm afraid that the stronger Li Jing's strength, the more he will control his temperament."
Song Wei directly expressed his concerns. Li Jing's many performances now still show that he is a good person. However, his ability and his temperament make Song Wei feel an uncontrollable danger, which is why he has difficulties. After all, Song Wei is not worried about Li Jing now, but about Li Jing in the future.
There are no two tigers in one mountain. On the territory of Ziqing Town, Wang Jingwu and Song Wei fought each other. Seeing that Wang Jingwu was finally defeated by Song Wei, Song Wei would not want to see the growth of a little tiger like Li Jing.
Everyone understood what Song Wei meant, and at this time, they wouldn't have much to say.
However, Zhang Wanrong is not from the General Manager's Mansion. Speaking of which, he and Song Wei have a mutual relationship, on an equal footing.
He pinched his beardless round chin and chuckled: "The general's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, Wang Jingwu has not been relieved. He has to be careful of another Wang Jingwu. But our family thinks that it is actually very simple to solve this problem."
"Oh, how can I solve it?" Song Wei asked.
Zhang Wanrong smiled: "It's a pity that Li Jing already has a wife. Otherwise, if the general hired Li Jing as the son-in-law of the East Sleeping, all the problems would have been solved."
Song Wei has no son, only daughter, and is just eight years old. He is a man of the name of Fuzhong. Song Wei originally had a son, and he had three sons, but one died in the battle during the Pangxun Rebellion a few years ago, and the remaining two died when they were fighting against Nanzhao. When they were old, they lost their son.
Others also understood the meaning of this sentence. Li Jing's current performance is very loyal. It's just a little difficult to control. After all, although Li Jing is a disciple of Cui Yunqing, he is still a little worse than Song Wei. But if Li Jing becomes Song Wei's son-in-law, he will be his own family, so there is no need to worry about anything.
"Why would you rather let Li Jing divorce his wife and marry the daughter of the Grand Marshal?" Secretary Zhang suggested.
Song Wei didn't say anything, he was a little moved. The talent Li Jing showed was amazing. However, it was because of Li Jing's surprise that Song Wei was a little worried about this too sharp knife. If Li Jing could really become his son-in-law, he would naturally avoid these troubles.
"This matter is probably difficult!" Lei Gang, who is more familiar with Li Jing, said: "Although Li Jing's wife is just an ordinary country woman, Li Jing is not the kind of person who can divorce her."
Song Wei frowned in disappointment. Li Jing would not divorce his wife, so his daughter would not be able to be Li Jing's concubine.
Zhang Wanrong saw Song Wei's expressions before and after, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Li Jing refused to divorce his wife. He is a rare kind and kind person. Such a man is good. The Grand Marshal, since it is not enough to let Li Jing be the Grand Marshal's son-in-law, I have another plan."
"Oh, what are you planning?"
"The Grand Marshal can accept Li Jing as his adopted son!" Song Wei has no son now, but he has a grandson, so there is no need to worry about the queen and wait, so there is no need to adopt an adopted son again. However, although there is no need to accept nephews of the same clan as his stepson, it doesn't matter if he accepts an adopted son.
In the late Tang Dynasty, it was common for generals to accept adopted sons in the army. Song Wei came from a family of imperial guards, but he had never accepted adopted sons, and most of them were used for nephews. Now, when Zhang Wanrong proposed, his eyes suddenly lit up. If Li Jing became his adopted son, he would not have to worry about anything.
In the future, Wang Jingwu was pacified. With his mastery of Ziqing Town, even if his term expired, he would not have any problems to continue to be appointed as the governor of Pinglu of Ziqing. He is now in his fifties and Li Jing is in his twenties. As soon as he becomes his adopted son, Li Jing's status will be much higher and he will soon become the young marshal of Pinglu Army. When he is about to die, he will let Li Jing serve as the envoy of the queen. When he closes his eyes, Li Jing will be the envoy of the commander of the Jieshi.
Song Wei was a little excited. If Li Jing really became his adopted son, there would be no suspicion between the father and son. Not only did he lose an opponent that made him feel at all times of crisis, but he also had an important help. Song Wei saw Li Jing and his elite army. Even the imperial guards he commanded in the Shence Army were not much stronger than Li Jing's Zhendong Army. If Li Jing could really accept Li Jing as his adopted son, Wang Jingwu's rebellion could be quelled at any time, and no other military leaders in Ziqing Town dared to have any other thoughts.
This is also a great good thing for Li Jing. After all, although Li Jing is capable, he lacks many things. He is just a farmer, has no family background, and has no qualifications and prestige. Even if Li Jing is appreciated by the emperor now, the emperor is just a thirteen-year-old emperor. Today I remember Li Jing and reward him, maybe I will forget it later. Although Li Jing has become the governor of Dengzhou, he is still far from being the commander of Yizhenjie. As long as Li Jing is willing to be his adopted son, he will immediately become the young commander of Ziqing Town.
Zhang Wanrong could see that Song Wei was moved and smiled slightly. He made this proposal, both out of selfishness and public intention. Both public and private intentions are a good proposal. As a military commander, the most important responsibility is to supervise the local vassal generals, which is to help the court control the local area. Ziqing Town finally got rid of the local force Wang Jingwu's Yabing Group. At this time, he naturally did not want to see another situation of Song Wei and Li Jing's opposition. The generals and generals were in conflict, and the result would inevitably be the turmoil in Ziqing Town. If it were not done well, it would be a war like this in the end.
Out of selfishness, he actually liked Li Jing very much. Especially after Zhang Chengye, who he used to valued, went to Li Jing, he often wrote letters to him to mention Li Jing's many benefits. Besides, Li Jing saved his life, and there were all kinds of gifts. Zhang Wanrong often wanted to help Li Jing.
If this matter is done, not only will Wang Jingwu rebellion be quelled immediately, but the hidden undercurrent in Ziqing Town can also be eliminated. Besides, after Ziqing Town is pacified, his relationship with Song Wei will not be as good as it is now. At that time, if Li Jing has his help, his power will be grateful to him, and he will be able to stay in Qingzhou more easily.
"Jing Xiu. What do you think of this?" Song Wei turned his head and asked the deputy general Kang Chenghui. Generally speaking, if the general is seriously ill or dies suddenly, the position of the subordinate shall be the deputy general or the governor Sima. Now Song Wei wants to accept Li Jing as his adopted son, which is not only a big event for Song Wei, but also a big event for Pinglu Army and Ziqing Town. Li Jing is not an ordinary person, he became the adopted son of the general. Then in the entire Ziqing Town, his status is not the same. For the old brothers, Song Wei must have asked them.
Kang Chenghui was older than Song Wei, and he did not want to be greedy for the position of the remaining queen. With his age, it would be difficult for him to take over this position. What's more, the Kang family had just had an incident a few years ago. Even if Song Wei gave him this position, the court might not be willing to let him take over. What's more, there was no Li Jing. There was also Cui Yunqing, who had a great influence in Ziqing Town. Since that was the case, it would be better to be a favor.
"If it can be done, this is a good thing, and I agree with it." Kang Chenghui said directly.
"If I take Li Jing as my adopted son, do you agree?" Song Wei looked at the others again.
The Grand Marshal, Deputy Marshal and Military Supervisor all agreed. Although the Jiedushi Sima was not here, he was Li Jing's teacher, so he would naturally agree. In this way, several people from the General's Mansion and Military Supervisor Academy agreed. What else can they say about the aides and generals? They naturally agreed at the moment.
Song Wei felt much more relaxed all over. A stone that had been pressing in his heart finally landed on the ground. He laughed and said, "Judge Lei, please go back to Dengzhou immediately. Go back to Qingzhou first on the way. Invite Sima Cui to Dengzhou together. When you arrive in Dengzhou, please invite King Zhao to meet Li Jing."
Lei Gang received this order and hurried back that day. He went to Qingzhou first and found Cui Yunqing to tell the matter, Cui Yunqing was naturally surprised. After Li Jing took the position of governor of Dengzhou half-likely, Cui Yunqing was caught between Li Jing and Song Wei, and felt a little troublesome.
On one hand, Song Wei is both a boss and an ally, while on the other hand, Li Jing is his disciple. Li Jing and Song Wei are at odds. The first thing he is most sad is that he is. After Li Jing obtained the position of governor, he took out a lot of money, grain and weapons to Song Wei. Cui Yunqing was already a little happy. After all, this is Li Jing restoring and eased his relationship with Song Wei. Now Song Wei wants to accept Li Jing as his adopted son, and this matter has finally developed in a positive direction.
On that day, Cui Yunqing and Lei Gang rushed to Dengzhou. Seeing Lei Gang returning, Li Jingben was a little surprised. When he heard Cui Yunqing reposting that Song Wei wanted to accept Li Jing as his adopted son, he was even more surprised.
Li Jing was still surprised, but Li Zhen, Li Liang, Guo Cheng'an and others stood up immediately and shouted: "Monkey King, this is a great thing. I agree, of course I have to agree!"
At this time, Li Jing finally knew from Cui Yunqing that this matter was true. After thinking about it several times, Li Jing nodded and agreed.
On May 18, the 15th year of Xiantong, General Jinwu, Wuning Hou, the procuratorial secretary Youpushe, the governor of the Lu army in Ziqingping, and the governor of Qingzhou, Song Wei, officially accepted the champion general, General Jinwu, Marquis Zhendong, envoy of Zhendong Army, and Li Jing, the governor of Dengzhou, as his adopted son!
The soldiers of Zhendong Army were very happy when this news came out.
In the late Tang Dynasty, it was very common to accept adopted sons. No one said that being adopted sons is inferior to others. Some generals even had hundreds of adopted sons. During the Five Dynasties, there was Yierdu, which was the elite troops under the Jin army Li Keyong. Among them, there was only one of the Thirteen Grand Guards of King Li Keyong of Jin, who was his biological son.
The general Song Wei accepted Li Jing as his adopted son. The two were just old and had a good status. What made the soldiers of Zhendong Army happy was that after Li Jing became Song Wei's adopted son, he would now be the young commander of Ziqing Town. Because Song Wei had no sons, although he had several grandsons, he was very old and was far away in the capital.
The army envoy of Zhendong Army, the governor of Dengzhou, the Protector of Anton, and the Young Commander of Pinglu Army!
Young Marshal, that is equivalent to the future Marshal of Ziqing Town.
When the news reached all over Dengzhou, the common people and wealthy families were relieved. Previously, Li Jing's army landed in Dengzhou, and Song Wen handed over the position of governor to Li Jing and took the various divisions of Dengzhou away. In their eyes, this was Li Jing's forcibly seized Dengzhou. Now Song Zheng is busy extermination of Wang Jingwu and has no time to go to Dengzhou, but everyone is worried, what if the general quells the rebellion in Zibo and leads his troops back? At that time, when the war broke out, no one is good.
No one expected that Song Dashui actually accepted Li Jing as his adopted son. Now that the Marshui and the County Marshui became father and son, this battle would definitely not start. The ordinary common people and wealthy families in Dengzhou all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Song Wei announced the news in the camp of quelling the rebellion, the morale of the Pinglu Army was even higher. Because of this, everyone felt that the destruction of the rebels was just around the corner. For Li Jing suddenly became the young marshal, the heads of the army did not dare to have any other ideas except for being a little jealous and envious. After all, Li Jing's reputation was there, and no one dared to provoke Li Jing, who held a strong soldier like Zhendong Army.
In Zizhou City, Wang Jingwu's broken arm was almost ready, and he was equipped with an iron hook. Although he looked a little weird, he was in a good mood these days. After escaping from Li Jing's subordinates, he defeated the Pinglu army twice in a row. Although Zhang Chan sent troops to suffer a defeat on the third time, he still suffered 3,000 to 10,000, but he still suffered 1,000 casualties and died of nearly 2,000 enemies. This is a victory even though he was defeated.
Recently, famines occurred in Shandong and Henan after a severe drought, and many people were displaced. Wang Jingwu took this opportunity and only took some food out and recruited enough young and strong men to the army. If it weren't for such a famine, ordinary people would not be willing to join his rebels.
Now he has raised 30,000 again, and he has just surrendered dozens of bandits, bandits and horse thieves in Zibo, with a total of 3,000 people. Just yesterday, Hong Balang, a giant bandit who is famous on both sides of the Yellow River, led 800 cavalry to accept his surrender and surrender to him. The 800 horse thieves were grouped into the capital of the Cavalry.
