From Cangzhou to Zhenzhou, there were escorts of Henghai military horses all the way, and when they arrived in Shenzhou, there were already large groups of German military horses to greet them.

Chengde Army, the jurisdiction of Zhen, Shenzhen, Hebei, Zhao four prefectures, is now the most populous of the three towns in Hebei, the strongest military town, Zhenzhou is extremely prosperous, is to be promoted early for the Zhending Mansion, Guo Chong, the Chengde Army Festival Envoy, and Zhending Mansion Yin.

Cheng German army, now known as 30,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 horses, its population is also extremely dense, although because of the war, refugees fled south, the number of households dropped sharply, but the fertile land is, once stable, the refugees will return, recovery is very fast, now there are more than 100,000 households of registered people, plus hidden and not reported, there are about 500,000 or 600,000 people.

Guo Chong, the envoy of the Chengde army, led his subordinates to Zhaozhou.

Guo Chong was the year when he knew the destiny of heaven, he was born very majestic, his face was like a heavy tree, and he had a long hair under his chin, which was very majestic.

Speaking of which, Guo Chong is the minister of Zhou Taizu, the father of Princess Yongning, when Zhou Taizu was there, he was already in charge of the forbidden army, the remote leader of the festival, and the captain of the inspection school, and then more with the Zhongshu Men Pingzhang, is the earliest envoy of Zhou, but after the death of Taizu, Shizong Guo Rong succeeded to the throne, and after the war with the Khitan Northern Han Dynasty, he was reassigned Guo Chong as the envoy of Zhending Yin and Chengde Army, and added the Chinese book order, Guo Chong began his border guarding career.

Princess Yongning was also the most attentive to him, and sent messengers to send letters many times to appease Guo Chong.

Lu Ning's horses were still a few miles away, Guo Chong dismounted to greet him, and then blew and blows to welcome Lu Ning into Zhaozhou City, rested in Zhaozhou City for a day, and on the second day, the brigade went to Zhenzhou, which is now Zhending Mansion.

In the city of Zhenzhou, it is even more festive, the loess paves the road and purifies the water and splashes the street, and the people on both sides are crowded, vying to watch the husband of the eldest princess in the past and His Royal Highness the King of Qi today.

Obviously, Guo Chong's governance of the four prefectures of Chengdu and De is very popular, and the shops lining the streets also show that the Zhending Mansion, which was almost destroyed in the war ten years ago, is gradually regaining its vitality.

Lu Ning couldn't help but be glad at this time, if it weren't for the relationship with Princess Yongning, he would have to subdue this old Linggong for no reason, I am afraid it would be a thousand difficulties.

held a banquet in the mansion, but Lu Ning didn't expect that in addition to Guo Chong, there was also a person from Fuzhou to accompany him.

The native of Fuzhou is called Zhede Yuan, and he is the younger brother of the Yong'an Army Festival envoy and the Fuzhou Thorn Shi Zhede Wall.

This is the Folded Family!

Hearing the identity of the person's name, Lu Ning was slightly surprised.

The Zhejia army, which has been guarding Fuzhou for generations, although nominally returned to Zhou, but the geographical location is lonely, the southeast is the Han Kingdom, the northeast is the Yellow River, and the opposite bank of the Yellow River is usually the grazing land of the Khitans.

In fact, the relationship between the Zhe family and the Han State is also extremely ambiguous, and it can be seen that Zhede is willing to pass through the territory of the Han State and come to Zhenzhou.

The relationship between the Han Kingdom, the Zhe family, and the Yang family is complicated, such as Yang Ye of the Yang family, loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty, but his brother Yang Chongxun rebelled against the Han and returned to Zhou, and the Zhe family, nominally returned to Zhou, but now the relationship with the Han lord is also good.

In fact, he was originally going to Bianjing with his niece, but he didn't want the Central Plains to change suddenly, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin broke out into a war, and his niece has turned around, as if now in the palace of Empress Guo in Taiyuan City of the Northern Han Dynasty, Empress Guo has always liked the niece of Zhede Yuan and treated her as her own sister.

This is naturally the Han lord's wooing of the folded family.

Zhede was willing to stay here, and was already preparing to return west.

The three-person banquet was staggered, but Guo Chong was silent, and Lu Ning didn't talk much, and many times, he was willing to say something funny.

This also gave Lu Ning a better understanding of the situation in the northwest.

Fuzhou guarded by Zhejia and Linzhou guarded by Yang Chongxun are the two states that are isolated in the Central Plains, because the two states are located in the area bounded by the Yellow River, the northeast is the grazing land of the Khitan, and the southeast is the Han State.

The land in the northwest of Fuzhou and Hexi is the Dingyan Army, which nominally belongs to Zhou, but in fact it is an independent kingdom, that is, the predecessor of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Li Yiyin, the envoy of the Dingyan Army, was the ancestor of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia.

Chatting with Zhe Deyuan about the land of Hexi, Lu Ning also had a little more understanding of the current Dingyan Army, the predecessor of the Western Xia royal family.

After the banquet, Lu Ning returned to the courtyard where he was temporarily stationed, and just had a cup of tea in the hall, when the guards came in to tell him, saying that Liu Chong, the secretary of Guo Lao Linggong, asked to see His Royal Highness King Qi.

Lu Ning felt a sigh in his heart, and he knew, how could this Guo Lao Linggong be a simple person? Are you willing to give up power so easily? After all, he didn't hide it, and he made it clear that he would immediately rectify the military system of the three towns in Hebei and prepare a forbidden army, called the Hebei Battalion, to defend the land of Hebei.

Liu Chongwen is a polite middle-aged scholar, who looks very down-to-earth and reassuring, but with Lu Ning's experience in his previous life, if he is an ordinary person, he is fine, but if he is a famous person and gives people this kind of loyal and honest feeling, this person is definitely not simple.

Liu Chong was holding a brocade box, but it didn't seem to be a gift to Lu Ning, and after sitting down, he talked about the locality, the Uighurs, and the Tibetans, the north and the south, and the customs, and he seemed to know everything.

Lu Ning just listened with a smile, after all, this person is also a very interesting storyteller.

"Your Highness, have you seen the Guqiang woman?" Liu Chong suddenly asked with a smile.

Lu Ning shook his head.

Liu Chong bowed his head slightly, and said: "Some time ago, Lao Ling recognized an ancient Qiang daughter as a righteous daughter, and it can be regarded as a matter of Lao Linggong's heart, Lao Linggong has always had no daughter under his knees, and he often regrets it. ”

"This daughter is the daughter of the Fuzhou regimental training envoy Zhi Deyuan, that is, the nephew of Zhi Deyuan who is eating wine with His Royal Highness today, named Saihua."

Hearing this, Lu Ning was stunned.

The nephew is the niece, because the woman wants to marry, so she is called the nephew.

If you want to say that you know the generals of the Zhe family, there is no doubt that most of the later generations are because of the Yang generals who knew first, from She Lao Taijun, I know that the old Taijun is the Zhe family, and she is also the only person in the Yang family who can be examined in history.

She Lao Taijun, the prototype is this folding race flower.

It's just that, after all, the Fold family has only seen some stories before, and she doesn't remember which generation of the Fold family is the old lady, it turns out that it is the daughter of the current head of the Fold family, the niece of Fold Deyuan, who is seen today?

Liu Chong secretly glanced at Lu Ning, and saw that Lu Ning seemed to be a little shocked, and then smiled: "Lao Linggong has a word of advice, the Qiang people are brave, and the Zhe family is even more fierce, if His Royal Highness can marry the Zhe family, it should be the good of Qin and Jin, and it will be of great help to His Highness's future." ”

Lu Ning had almost guessed the theme of Liu You's important words from listening to what Lao Linggong had accepted a righteous daughter.

This is not the first time that Guo Lao Linggong has married the royal family, in history, his granddaughter is the queen of Song Renzong.

However, Guo Lao Ling has no daughters, but he happened to accept a righteous daughter some time ago, and he was supposed to just get closer to the Fuzhou family, but now, he happens to marry himself.

In fact, if you think about it, no matter what, now he has a population of hundreds of thousands, known as tens of thousands of military horses, if he is swallowed up by himself like this, he still needs some protection of the family's glory in the future.

Although he has no ambitions, and he is deeply favored by Zhou Taizu, he will not be indifferent to Princess Yongning's several times.

And he has obviously recovered the Heng Navy of Cang and Jing Erzhou, and the Heng Navy Festival has made Zhang Mei even send his son to be a personal guard by his side, and he is sincerely surrendered, which is a plus for Guo Lao Linggong.

But in any case, with both hands in authority, even if Guo Lao Ling is willing, there may not be many winds blowing through the staff around him, but I am afraid that this marriage method is also thought up by the staff.

It also happened that the daughter of the leader of the Zhe family became his righteous daughter, which was even more high-sounding, so this marriage seemed to be to appease the Zhe family army, not the daughter of Guo Lao Ling.

"Lao Linggong, the daughter, dignified and virtuous, should be a good match for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has no owner in the south and north of the two Shang Palaces, and he should be married as soon as possible, so His Royal Highness will spread out more branches and leaves, and the Wang family will be more prosperous." Liu Chong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Ning was finally stunned, and then smiled bitterly in his heart, these dog-headed military advisors really know everything.

After all, she is the daughter of Lao Linggong, and now she is only a prince, if you want to say that she is a concubine for herself, she is naturally a little wronged, and Lao Linggong's face is not good-looking, but obviously these staff members around Lao Linggong are not dry meals, and everything about himself, at least everything on the surface, has been inquired about clearly, and he has already thought of a compromise.

It's just, this, Mrs. She?

Want to marry yourself?

Lu Ning is full of black lines, of course, now Mrs. She is young, but her impression of the old man is the image of a majestic white-haired old woman.

How do you feel, it's a bit incest? Moreover, it is as if it is a desecration of the person whom I revere so much.

Although most of Mrs. She's deeds are artistic processing, after all, that image is deep-rooted.

In the official history, there is no record of She Lao Taijun, but through the tombstone local chronicles, etc., it is verified that She Lao Taijun does exist, but whether it is the year of birth and death, or the time of marrying Yang Linggong, it is very vague, and it is roughly estimated by later generations.

It is estimated that the Central Plains and his party were entrusted by his brother to choose a good son-in-law for his niece, and he may have gone around in history, and finally chose Yang Ye after the world friendship.

And now, by chance? Do you want to marry yourself?
