Chapter 270: Partial to Jiangnan
Eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, the situation in Beijing is becoming less and less optimistic, the last time Zhou Sinian found out that someone had secretly poisoned Li Chaozong, although he adjusted the prescription in time, but Li Chaozong's body was already at a loss, and he was tossed back and forth like this, although he did not worry about his life, his body collapsed, and his sharpness was not as good as before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is now out of control.
Li Sheng'an, the king of Shun'an, with the support of the old department of the Chenwang Mansion headed by the Wu Xiuneng brothers, began to compete for the throne with the crown prince Li Shenghong. Wu Xiucheng was in the north, under the guise of "resisting the Khitan", and annexed various warlords in the north; The brothers Li Junmao and Li Shengxian had two armies, the Zhen'an Army and the Yulin Army, and they sat in Gyeonggi and regarded themselves as the spokesmen of Li Chaozong, standing on the side of Shenghong.
Zhou Sinian, who should have become Li Shenghong's strongest backing, has never returned to Beijing since the first year to report on his work. The situation between the DPRK and China became more and more chaotic, and Zhou Sinian in Jiangnan was to lightly levy taxes, encourage farming, develop handicrafts and commerce, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and establish good relations with the surrounding neighbors. The unbreakable control of Jiangnan is in his hands, and it has become an independent kingdom in the south. Because of this, the more he can't go to the capital.
He also avoided the Wu brothers as much as possible, adopted a policy of locking up the business of the capital, vigorously developed outward, developed maritime trade, from Goryeo in the east to Dashi in the west, and even established trade relations with the Khitan through the sea. It also set up guild halls in Shu and Dayi Ningguo.
The Great Changhe Kingdom bordering Lingnan Road, later became the Great Tianxing State, and now it has become the Great Yi Ning State, which is now controlled by Yang Lizhen's wife, and the Great Yi Ning Country itself is weak, and now there is a relationship between Yang Lizhen and Yang Xi, and Lingnan Road has always maintained a safe distance, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Since Li Chaozong's poor health, the Qingcian Martial Academy and Chongwen Academy have never opened a department. The political power is in the hands of the big bureaucrats and big warlords, and in their eyes, the martial arts academy and the academy are a stumbling block for them to appoint their own people. It is the last ten civil and military people selected by Jiangnan, and they are the last batch of officials in Jiangnan to enter the court.
On the grounds that the imperial court no longer openly recruited scholars, Zhou Sinian opened his own civil and military examinations in Jiangnan and no longer accepted officials appointed by the imperial court. Although Li Chaozong did not have the energy to manage the government and politics, he was well aware of the situation in the DPRK and China, and turned a blind eye to Zhou Sinian's move.
Zhou Sinian didn't care about the ten people he chose to send to the imperial court, everything was voluntary, the parents and brothers of these ten people were in the south of the Yangtze River, with this line, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish could jump. No matter how far you fly or how high you jump, you will always come back.
At this time, Jin Suyi has become a well-known figure under the account of Li Shengxian, the commander of the Yulin Army, and Abin intends to return to Jiangnan after learning from the Qingcian Martial Academy. When Jin Suyi received my letter, he heard that Rui Youbin used to be the captain of my guard, so he took special care of him. However, Li Junmao and Li Shengxian attached great importance to the batch of martial artists trained by the Qingcian Martial Academy, and the northland fought for many years, and there was an increasing shortage of officers. They need this group of well-trained young men to enrich their army.
Abin wants to return to Jiangnan, which is against the regulations that the children of the big family are not allowed to return to their hometowns to be officials, like Liu Siyuan, Guo Huai and Shi Jingyang, because they belong to the four major families, they are still Wujinshi, and they can't go back to their hometowns anyway, so Liu Siyuan and Guo Huai were assigned to the Yulin Army, and Shi Jingyang went to the Zhen'an Army to take up his post. Although the Rui family is a big family in Jiangnan, it is not as eye-catching as the other four major families after all, and it is relatively easy for Abin to return to Jiangnan.
In my letter to Jin Suyi, I not only asked her to help Abin return to Jiangnan, but also asked her to ask the right person at the right time to take Yunyao out of the palace and let Abin take him back to Jiangnan with him.
But in the letter sent back by Jin Suyi, it was said that the emperor and queen would not stop Yun Yao from leaving the palace and returning to Jiangnan, but Yun Yao himself refused to leave the palace, and the emperor and queen had nothing to do, so she could not be driven out of the palace. Jin Suyi said in the letter that Yun Yao is in a very embarrassing situation now, and she is also very anxious, but as the general of the Yulin Army, it is not good for her to knock out Miss Guogong in the palace and take her away.
After the business in the capital retreated, Zhou Sinian transferred Lao Xu to Shudi, leaving only a special post road for the purpose of transmitting information. Since then, Sun City has given up the war-torn Northland, leaving only Yunyao in the palace. Because of Li Chaozong's pampering, this girl did not know that danger was coming, and turned a deaf ear to Zhou Sinian's repeated letters and warnings, and refused to return to Jiangnan when she sent someone to pick her up.
According to the eyeliner newspaper in the capital, Li Chaozong basically does not go to court now, and he appears less and less in public places, I don't know if he is sick or for other reasons. The news came from the palace, but Li Chaozong was in poor health and didn't want to worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty anymore, so he was only in the harem every day, staying with Yun Yao.
Yun Yao is sixteen years old this year, and Shenghong is also fifteen years old, but there is no news of the prince's wedding in the palace. Youyou writes every year, but every letter she sends is full of dissatisfaction with Yun Yao. And said that because Yun Yao is too willful, Shenghong doesn't like Yun Yao, and the marriage is not in a hurry. In and out of the words, there was a sense of blaming Zhou Sinian for not helping Shenghong.
Zhou Sinian read Youyou's letter and scoffed: "If there is really a mother, there must be a son, a foolish woman, plus a dumb son, are they worthy of letting me do it?" If it weren't for Yun Yao, I would also support Sheng An as the emperor. Yunyao is a girl, where does she go if she is willful? Katsuhiro doesn't like her, does it have to be her fault? If you don't like it, you don't like it, let's just take our daughter back. We are Yunyao, and it is really not uncommon to marry into the royal family. ”
He brought Yoyo's brother in Sun City and wrote a letter to Yoyo. Asked her directly, does Yun Yao and Shenghong's marriage contract count? If it doesn't count, let people send Yun Yao back to Jiangnan, we will choose another son-in-law for Yun Yao to marry, and we can't let my daughter die in the palace!
This hand really worked, and the leisurely reply finally softened. I secretly sneered in my heart, as long as you are a person from Sun City, no matter how high you go to the sky and climb to a high position, as long as you still have your own relatives in your heart, you can't ignore the City Lord of Sun City.
Youyou's letter was full of words, saying that whether Yun Yao and Shenghong's marriage contract counted, it was not something she could say, and she didn't give Yun Yao and Sheng Hong the marriage because Yun Yao, as early as a year ago, was already Li Chaozong's woman. Li Chaozong originally wanted to crown Yun Yao as the imperial concubine, but because everyone knew that Yun Yao was related to Sheng Hongding, he didn't do so. (To be continued.) )
