The night breeze was blowing, rolling the Xifu Begonia as vast as the sea above the head and falling, and the cloud-holding red Luo Yi was blown by the evening breeze and flew like a butterfly for a while. Her juanjuan figure is picturesque, and her gentle and expectant smile is reflected in Li Chenghao's eyes.

Li Chenghao's eyes are also picturesque, brilliant as the brightest star, igniting the sparks in Yun Zhi's heart.

Xia Yuzhi suddenly remembered that Chen Zhihua had told him on the wedding night that even though the two had known each other before, they still followed their parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker, without too much thrilling.

Since it is not vigorous, I only wish to make tea with warm water, and this life is long and fragrant.

Looking at the relationship between Li Chenghao and Yun Zhi, Xia Yuzhi suddenly felt that the metaphor of making tea in warm water was used to describe the two of them, which complemented each other better.

Xia Yuzhi looked at Li Chenghao carefully, if Gu Chenxiao is the dragon and phoenix among people, and Qin Heng is as warm as jade, then this Li Chenghao is Zhong Lingyuxiu, not inferior to the demeanor of the two.

Especially during the banquet, Li Chenghao's conversation not only has the dignity that a country should have, but also does not lose the strong family affection between flesh and blood, whether it is for Yun Yang or Xia Yuzhi, he has special respect.

Xia Lanxin wants to marry Yun Yang, and her brother on Xia Yuzhi is not an outsider. Li Chenghao knew that Xia Yuzhi, as the general of Qianlongwei, had an influence in the eyes of Emperor Chongming and even in the entire Xixia.

On the surface, Xia Yuzhi accompanied Yun Yang to visit, this pair of relatives came to appreciate the scenery of Goryeo, and the real meaning was that Yun Yang was relieved that Xia Yuzhi was not burdened with the trust, so he must go together.

When the servants removed the leftovers, they made new tea. Yun Yang used the excuse to convey a few words to Mrs. Yun's private words to Yun Zhi, and Li Chenghao invited Xia Yuzhi to sit on the wide terrace behind Yun Zhi's palace.

The couple both love to play with flowers and plants, and the hundreds of square meters of terrace was specially built by Li Chenghao for Yunzhi.

The red wall of blue tiles, the dust-bearing of the sky blue glass is bent like a dome, bright and clear, and you can see the stars in the sky when you look up, as well as the moonlight that is as bright as Qionghua.

Du Ruo's incense crawled all over the wooden flower stands, and the smoker with gold and silver lotus petal bead pattern was thrown in vain, and a large handful of sun-dried lavender lay idle in it, and the faint fragrance was blurred, gradually blending with the sky and moonlight.

Fang Cai is a family banquet, Li Chenghao attended in casual clothes, and now he does not regard himself as a superior, but gives Xia Yuzhi the direction of the upper position in front of the oval tea table made of rosewood.

With a slight smile, Li Chenghao's peerless posture appeared, although his green shirt embroidered with four ruyi patterns was simple, it seemed to outline a freehand picture scroll with light brushwork, and the whole person was soaked in a light atmosphere.

Xia Yuzhi smiled and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "How dare you, please sit down with the lord of the country." He turned around, chose the next seat, bowed slightly to Li Chenghao, and waited for him to sit down first.

Li Chenghao was no longer humble, sat cross-legged opposite Xia Yuzhi, and smiled sincerely: "Fang Cai is not a hypocrisy. The Goryeo Kingdom has admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and since the time of Li Tang, it has been a vassal state in the Central Plains, and the general has been a special envoy of Xixia, and it is not an exaggeration to be a high-ranking state. ”

Xia Yuzhi bowed and said with a smile: "What the lord of the country said is true, but now it is a sincere friendship between the two countries, and there is no subordinate meaning. Although Yuzhi is a guest from afar, after all, he is the in-law of the lord of the country, how can he be so big and ignore the affection of the lord of the country sincerely. ”

The two tentatively expressed their attitudes to each other in a few words.

Lee Seung-ho's desire to form an alliance with the Central Plains was very urgent, and the land of Goryeo was sparsely populated, and the throne passed to his generation, and the treasury was not full. The civil strife has just been calmed down, and what I am most afraid of at this time is the resurgence of gunsmoke.

If he can form an alliance with Xixia, he doesn't mind putting himself in a subordinate position for the time being.

Xia Yuzhi conveyed the greetings of Emperor Chongming, the diplomatic relations between the two countries are equal, and Xixia will never bully the weak.

got Xia Yuzhi's hint, and Li Chenghao was even more enthusiastic. He nodded at Xia Yu's Phoenix Three with an ancient and vigorous purple sand teapot, and then poured the amount of tea into a fair cup, and then poured out a cup and sent it to Xia Yuzhi to smell the fragrance.

Seeing Xia Yuzhi intoxicated by the fragrance of tea, Li Chenghao smiled lightly: "Chenghao also followed my uncle and called the general the third brother." Today, since a family banquet is set up for the third brother to catch the wind, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, and some words are easier to be open and honest. Now that the envoys between the two countries are constantly coming and going, but they have to make a special trip to the third brother, I don't know what mission the third brother has brought to His Majesty the Emperor of the other country, and he needs to be Cheng Hao Yucheng?"

Talking to smart people is to be open, Xia Yuzhi greatly appreciates Li Chenghao's honesty. He invited Emperor Chongming's handwritten letter out and showed it to Li Chenghao, and then explained the matter of inviting Tang Guan in detail, and said sincerely: "The Jingtang Pass is separated from your country by a water, which is actually the hiding place of traitors in our country, and the main envoy is also a wanted criminal in the Three Kingdoms today. This time, Yuzhi took the liberty to come to ask the lord of the country to make peace between the two countries and cut off ties with them. ”

Xia Yuzhi spread out the map he carried with him, and showed Li Chenghao the route that was agreed to pass through the army that day: "What does our Xu Shangshu mean, Xixia's army crosses the border along this road, walks close to the periphery, and will not disturb the land of Goryeo, what does the lord think?"

Regarding the fact that Jingtang Guan used money to buy food and military supplies in recent years, Li Chenghao had heard a little about it before he succeeded to the throne.

In recent years, the imperial treasury was empty, and there was no threat to Goryeo from Jingtang Pass, so Lao Wang suggested that his ministers had made this lucrative deal, selling at twice the market price, and making a lot of money from it.

After Li Chenghao ascended the throne, he was also skeptical of the Jingtang Guan team and wanted to find out their true identities. He had checked the time between the property and the Jingtang Pass, and only twice a year in the spring and autumn.

There was no entry in Jingtang Pass, but every time he was able to take out a large amount of silver, knowing that Goryeo's offer far exceeded the true value of the goods, he still did not frown. Everything is unbelievable, which has already made Li Chenghao suspicious, but now after listening to Xia Yu's words, he suddenly realized.

Since they were wanted by the three countries, Goryeo could no longer provide them with assistance under any circumstances. Although it is a pity to cut off this route to wealth, it will benefit from Xixia, and Li Chenghao made a choice in a moment.

He nodded lightly and said: "Your country is very thoughtful, since the two countries are separated by a strip of water, Xixia wants to capture the traitor, and I Gaoli should give it my own convenience, and I will leave this matter to the prime minister." ”

The two discussed secretly, there was no need to leak the news at this time, only at the turn of summer and autumn, when Su Guangfu took money to buy rice again, Gao Li drew a line with him and caught him off guard.

As for Xia Yuzhi's strategy of borrowing the way, Li Chenghao carefully looked at the red line marked by Xia Yuzhi on the spread map, and saw that the other party was indeed well-intentioned.
