Wu Yuan has always been very strong by Yang Yun's side, as if he is really Yang Yun's big disciple.

With her here, Yang Yun doesn't need to say anything, she is completely an extremely powerful housekeeper, the kind who can help with everything.

Under Wu Yuan's intimidation, the old woman hurriedly went to arrange for the room to be vacated.

After the old woman withdrew, Yang Yun said with a smile: "Why be angry with the mother-in-law in charge? I didn't come here to make a name for me. ”

Wu Yuan said solemnly: "Even if the master doesn't plan to take over this courtyard, in fact, this is already the master's property, and the master is the master...... How can a slave do things against his master? ”

This serious attitude made Yang Yun unable to refute.

Yang Yun gave Wu Yuan a thumbs up, as if to say, you are right, I will listen to you for everything.

……

……

The singing and dancing girl who lived in the courtyard was not there, and the old woman temporarily arranged to move out the things in a relatively remote room and vacate the room as Yang Yun's alchemy room.

"There were originally two young ladies living in this room, but now they can only be squeezed with others." The old woman saluted.

Yang Yun didn't speak, Wu Yuan took the initiative to say it for him: "Very good, you don't need to be here, if you have any needs, I will call you over." ”

The old woman did not understand why her master's apprentice was so strong, and bowed and retreated.

Yang Yun walked around the room and shook his head with some disappointment.

There is no feeling of going to Laojun's alchemy room in my memory at all.

As Princess Xianyi said, Heavenly Master Alchemy, no matter what the phase and efficacy of the pill is, at least you must support the pattern, otherwise why do others think that your pill is useful?

"Let's find someone to come back and arrange it first, if you can't put out the pattern you want, just change another place, and it's not a problem to guard a group of women for alchemy."

Yang Yun secretly pondered to himself, in the end, alchemy is engaged in chemical research, which will definitely involve chemical reactions, and there will be a lot of exhaust gas and waste materials emitted at that time...... Maybe it's good to ask the Mi family to prepare an alchemy room for him by the Luohe River, which can not only be used for alchemy, but also as a chemical laboratory, and the most important thing is to facilitate the discharge of chemicals.

When he came to Datang, Yang Yun was still ambitious at the beginning, but with the rapid rise in status, he was a little wild in scientific research, and he felt that he had been enjoying a luxurious life, at most he was doing business to make money, and he completely forgot the most important mission of traversing, which was to change the times.

"When the disciple goes back, he will arrange for someone to come." Wu Yuan was ordered to accept it.

At present, there are many people in the Yang Mansion, so just arrange a few people to come over and clean up, and there is no need to invite outsiders.

Yang Yun looked around the courtyard again, and then took Wu Yuan away, seemingly forgetting the main purpose of coming here.

……

……

The alchemy room is slowly being arranged, anyway, Li Longji is in retreat, and no one asks him for the pill for the time being.

Gao Lishi took the opportunity to send someone to tell Yang Yun, which meant that there was anything that needed to be mentioned directly, and what Yang Yun lacked most at the moment was the alchemy furnace, which was decent, and it had a bit of fairy aura at a glance, but such an important thing could not be directly asked for by Gao Lishi.

Master Alchemy, how can you not prepare in advance?

Asking outsiders for everything will seem extremely unprofessional.

On this day, Yang Yun was pondering the matter of arranging the alchemy room, and suddenly someone came to report that Zhang Jiuling invited him to come over the mansion, which was the first time that Zhang Jiuling took the initiative to invite him to the mansion after the marriage between Zhang and Yang was decided.

Yang Yun did not bring his disciples and entourage, and took a car to Zhang's house.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, Zhike took him directly into the front yard of Zhang's house, and the future father-in-law Zhang Zheng personally came out to greet him.

"Daoist Yang, it's been a long time."

Zhang Zheng was very polite to Yang Yun, no matter what the Zhang family's attitude towards Yang Yun was, Yang Yun was his son-in-law, and he looked at Yang Yun with a kind look.

Yang Yun faced the old father-in-law, he didn't know what to call him, he thought about it and saluted seriously: "I've seen Old Taishan." ”

The name of Old Mount Tai began in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Zheng suddenly heard this title and felt very novel and interesting, and said with a smile: "Soon it will be a family, you can often come to the house to play in the future, and you can also help the staff when you encounter something at home." ”

In Zhang Zheng's sense, Yang Yun is already the Zhang family, but the problem is that Yang Yun is not in the redundancy, and he needs to avoid it later, this is not the main house of the Zhang family, it can only be regarded as a temporary residence, so Zhang Zheng did not regard this place as his home.

Under the guidance of Zhang Zheng, the two entered Zhang Jiuling's study, but they didn't see the main owner come out, nor did they see Zhang Guoqi and Zhang Yu and other juniors, and now only Zhang Zheng received him.

"I don't know when Lao Linggong will come back?" Yang Yun asked.

"It's almost time, let's sit down and wait slowly. Earlier, my father sent a message to the family, saying that he came to you because he wanted to talk to you about some military affairs, and by the way, he told me about your marriage to the little girl. ”

Zhang Zheng didn't put on the shelf of his elders at all, and his words were very easy-going.

Yang Yun felt very strange, when will it be the turn of the DPRK and China to discuss military affairs with me?

Zhang Jiuling: What does this mean?

After waiting for a long time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Zhang Jiuling dragged his tired body back, and he knew that he had encountered something unpleasant in the court.

"Father, Yang Gongzi is here."

In front of Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Zheng changed his name for Yang Yun.

Yang Yun stepped forward to salute.

After all, I had already met when I entered the palace before, and this marriage was agreed by Zhang Jiuling, if Zhang Jiuling proposed to repent of the marriage now, it would be too tasteless, and it was not something that the prime minister should do.

"Sit down."

After Zhang Jiuling came in, he knelt down directly on the floor behind the bookcase, and then raised his hand and said to Yang Yun and Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng followed and knelt down, and Yang Yun saw that it was not appropriate for him to stand, so he sat down on the mat next to him.

Zhang Jiuling said: "Your uncle has been here before, I have some understanding of your situation, you are now fifteen years old, a little younger, one year younger than Yu'er, if it is not for His Majesty's marriage, eager to complete the wedding, in fact, you can make a marriage contract first, and it is not too late to get married in two years." ”

Yang Yun was pondering again, what did this mean?

Is the marriage postponed?

Zhang Zheng said: "Father, you also said that Yu'er is not young, and in two years, Yang Gongzi will be up in age, but Yu'er will be a little older." ”

In this era, men are generally sixteen or seventeen years old, of course, there are early, girls are generally married before and after the marriage, as early as twelve or thirteen have been married, because the medical conditions are too poor, the age of people is generally not high, girls have a sense of crisis when they grow up a little, and hope to give birth to offspring as soon as possible, not at all like the future generations to fifteen or sixteen years old or in the greenhouse without wind and frost.

"Hmm."

Zhang Jiuling's tone was calm, "Now that the marriage date has been set, you and I are considered a family, and the old man will speak for you more in the future in the court, and you can discuss anything in private." ”

Yang Yun got up and saluted: "Thank you Zhang Linggong for cultivating." ”

How can it be said that Zhang Jiuling is also a generation of Confucianism, and he is the prime minister of the dynasty, and people openly and honestly say that they want to promote him, Yang Yun can't be too indifferent.

Zhang Zheng smiled: "Didn't my father say that there was anything about military affairs before? But has there been progress in the northern frontier? ”

Zhang Zheng's words were relaxed, but Yang Yun could see that Zhang Jiuling seemed to be facing some difficult choice.

Sure enough, Zhang Jiuling's expression was gloomy, and he said: "Two days ago, Zhang Shouqi led the army to go on the expedition, and as soon as he left Yanshan, he was ambushed by the Turks, and he lost many generals. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zheng suddenly couldn't laugh.

Yang Yun felt that there was a big problem behind this.

Datang actually suffered a defeat on the northern border, or when the Turks were too busy to take care of themselves, it is hard to imagine that Datang was so well prepared and could return home.

But if you think about it, this is in line with Zhang Jiuling's previous advocacy of prudent handling of military affairs in the north, in fact, Zhang Jiuling should have been aware of the problems such as lax military equipment and serious thinking of underestimating the enemy, so he would stop Zhang Shouling's radical strategy of marching into the army.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "It means that Gao Lishi and Li Linfu are responsible?" ”

Zhang Zheng asked puzzledly: "Father, Zhang Shuai has always been old and serious, how can there be a big deviation?" ”

"It's no wonder that he used the wrong person, his front army was full of some Hu people who were not useful, and the Hu people led the troops against the Hu people, and as a result, the enemy advanced lightly, and suffered a big defeat, I heard that the leader of the front army was a Hu general surnamed An......"

Zhang Jiuling's words were unintentional, but Yang Yun, the listener, felt that the problem was serious.

Could the Hu general surnamed An be An Lushan?

Judging from the timeline, it should be roughly the same.

Last year, An Lushan was arrested for stealing sheep, and he was supposed to be beaten to death with a stick, but he said wildly for his life, "The doctor doesn't want to destroy the two people? What is killing Lushan! Zhang Shouqi saw that he was fat and white, and he explained his words and incorporated them into the army. I don't think it's been less than a year, but I have already commanded the front army, and the speed of promotion can be seen.

Zhang Jiuling didn't know the mystery, and continued: "The border army temporarily gave up the plan to continue the march and stationed troops in the area south of Yanshan...... Youzhou Jiedu prepared to send the soldiers who led to the defeat of this battle to the eastern capital for trial, and with the intention of the military department, Zhang Shuai did not immediately punish him with military law, and sent the offender Hu to the head of the general, but escorted the people to Tokyo for trial, which clearly meant favoritism. ”

Yang Yun knows history well.

In history, An Lushan did not die, mainly because Zhang Shouqi was partial, and Zhang Jiuling actually strongly advocated killing An Lushan to make the people angry.

Perhaps Li Longji considered that An Lushan was Zhang Shouqi's confidant, and he was afraid of the emotions of the frontier soldiers, so he did not kill anyone, which can be regarded as a gift to An Lushan.

It was this kindness that made Li Longji think that An Lushan would be grateful to Dade, and then cultivated and promoted An Lushan many times and reused it, plus An Lushan was indeed very good at operating relationships, and later the two border towns of Jiedu supported the army and launched a war against the Tang Dynasty...... Speaking of which, it is all caused by Li Longji's kindness as a woman for a while.

"Yang Yun, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Jiuling suddenly set his eyes on Yang Yun.

Others thought that Zhang Jiuling's inquiry was a kind of courtesy, but Yang Yun felt that the other party's purpose was extraordinary.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "In the past, the definition of me by the people of the DPRK and China said that I was the faction of Concubine Wu Hui, and Zhang Jiuling also thought so before, and later some people thought that I was close to Li Linfu, but now there is a problem in the northern frontier, Zhang Jiuling first came to ask me for my opinion, is it to test me, to see which side my heart belongs to?" ”

"This Zhang Jiuling, everything you do depends on the faction first, and then the ability, which is not a good thing."

"From the point of view of the younger generation, the deviation of the war in the north is inseparable from the idea of the main battle of the DPRK and China to send light troops to advance, if the north is defeated, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the offender army should be dealt with with by military law, so as to demonstrate the prestige of our Tang Army."

Yang Yun said casually, anyway, it's all a historical thing.

What do you Zhang Jiuling like to hear, I'll tell you?

In the end, whether An Lushan dies or not, or whether the emperor pursues the responsibility of the main battle faction, it has nothing to do with me, anyway, you are here to test my political leanings.

Since I am your grandson-in-law, I should echo you once this time, anyway, you won't listen to what I say!
