Chapter 49: Two Secret Letters
When he saw Lu Ning, Aladdin, whose eyes were blank, was almost crying.
And Lu Ning was also overly cared for in the house just now, and he was a little helpless.
The lord was smashed, this is worth it, Gan and You Wuniang led the maids all the way to kneel down and ask for guilt, and then, the old mother and the second sister also came to see themselves, this toss, when they came to the small courtyard of Aladdin's mansion where he was under house arrest, it was almost noon.
After Xiao Zhou, she had to stay, because her grandmother Li liked her very much, and after seeing that her son was fine, she felt sorry for this baby granddaughter, and said that she would not let Xiao Zhouhou go out of the house, for fear that Xiao Zhouhou would be frightened again.
And now, Lu Ning finally saw Aladdin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, looking at the messy straw paper on the table and the ground.
Lu Ning smiled, "The question you came up with is the addition of five identical numbers, which means that you already have some concepts about the method of multipliers, okay, my topic, 1.6 million the same number is added, in fact, the principle is the same, 1.6 million is the addition of 10,000 160, 160, and 5 32 additions, so, have you come up with something?" ”
Aladdin was dumbfounded, his head like mush.
Lu Ning said with a smile: "You are drilling the horns now, go out and relax, don't be bored in the room, in the past two days, you have forgotten about arithmetic, in a few days, my second sister will get married, you will come too!" After this happy event, let's talk about the gambling contract. ”
Zhou Bing attacked, he went to Yizhou, and after he came back, he went to Songzhou, during this period, Xu Wendi really came to hire according to the agreed date, but he was not there, and when his mother saw what article the dowry was, her face turned green, and people drove Xu Wendi away.
Fortunately, she told Gan about it, and when she heard the news, she sent someone to appease Xu Wendi first, and only waited for her to come back.
Thinking about my mother, although she still belittled Xu Wendi in front of herself, she didn't know what to say, but she agreed with it, and she didn't say anything more.
Before you know it, you are already the real head of the family.
Mom, seeing that she is finally an adult, she no longer needs her to take care of her, but she gradually began to abide by the etiquette of her husband and son, although the current etiquette has not been really distorted, but Cheng Zhu Lixue did not appear out of thin air, and there are many similar interpretations of the three from the folk.
Xu Wendi and the second sister's big day, a few days later, people looked at the yellow calendar, if a few days later on the auspicious day of the zodiac do not marry, they will have to wait until the year later.
Therefore, six days after I made a decision, the second sister got married early, and she was at ease, which can be regarded as letting go of a matter.
And this Aladdin, it's really time to rest and rest, and if you go on like this, you have to be nervous.
"Listen to me!" Lu Ning patted Aladdin on the shoulder.
"Master, there is a messenger from Jinling." The voice of the big peach sounded outside the house.
……
Outside the small courtyard, the messenger who stood was an old acquaintance, Lu Ning's debtor, Zhou Gong.
The moment he saw Lu Ning, Zhou Gong, who was lost and depressed, knelt down, "The little one, the little one will make amends to the Duke of the East China Sea, and the small one deserves death!" ”
The initiator of the matter, the Wang family, has been demoted out of the house, and I heard that the second lady doesn't know how, and recognizes Donghai Gong as a righteous daughter, and I don't know what the eldest lady and Situ Gong said.
And he was beaten half to death, if he hadn't been loyal, and he would have been a private slave with the master's surname, I am afraid that it would be even worse than the Wang family.
The steward of the palace even passed on the words of the eldest lady, saying that the debt he owed to the Duke of the East China Sea had nothing to do with the Situ Mansion, and asked him to find a way to pay off the debt as soon as possible, otherwise, he would send the East China Sea as a slave to pay off the debt.
This time, there was a letter to the East China Sea, and it was the housekeeper who brought him here, naturally because he was arrogant before, and asked him to come forward to make amends.
Zhou Gong knew these things clearly in his heart, and when he saw Lu Ning, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Lu Ning looked at him and smiled, and said: "Now, Situ Gong and I are also relatives, but your debts cannot be exempted, if Situ Gong wants to send you directly to me to work to pay off the debts, it is not possible, how many jobs can you do to pay off a few dollars?" It's better to do something to enrich your own pockets in Situ Mansion, and you can also muster up more money to pay off your debts. ”
was said like this in front of the head of the house, Zhou Gong's face turned green, and he kowtowed even more.
bowed down to the thoughtfulness, and his face was not much better, this Donghai Gong was too difficult to describe......
Lu Ning stretched out his hand to take the envelope presented by Zhou Quan, saw that there was a fire paint seal, nodded, tore it open, and shook out the letterhead to see.
The letter was written by Li Yu, the king of Zheng, but it was sent by someone from the Zhou Mansion to avoid some suspicions.
The content of the letter made Lu Ning slightly stunned.
Li Yu's tone was very pessimistic, and faintly mentioned that there had been a relatively big conflict between his uncle and brother recently, and his father was so angry that he vomited blood and was already bedridden, and the capital was seeing a bloody storm.
And when his father was occasionally sober, he mentioned coming to Haizhou, but his father did not agree at all.
Is Li Jing seriously ill? Lu Ning frowned slightly, as if he would die in a few years, right? However, now history has changed, in the previous life, it is estimated that Li Jing has not encountered such a fierce battle between his younger brother and son, after all, because of the southern invasion of the Zhou soldiers, the Tang State was defeated, and the generals who supported the emperor's younger brother lost their strength.
In Li Yu's letter, there was a faint intention to ask for help.
Lu Ning frowned, but he had to think about this matter.
……
To Lu Ning's surprise, in the evening, another messenger came from Jinling, but this time, it was a confidant from King Zheng's mansion.
This time, it seems that there is no need to disguise this letter, but the messenger used the fast horse and fast boat of the post station, and looking at the date, it was written two days later than the previous letter, but it arrived on the front and back feet.
In the letter, Li Yu spoke in a cheerful tone, saying that his father had drafted an edict and ordered him to be the marshal of the soldiers and horses of Henan Province, and to lead the Jingjing Navy to Zhenhai Prefecture.
Li Yu said that his father changed his mind because it happened that the envoy of the Zhou State came to Jinling to explain to the dynasty that the border guards of the Zhou State had invaded the Tang Territory, and he faintly apologized, and said that the peace treaty between the two sides could not be abolished, and it would always be the good of the brothers.
Obviously, the Zhou State was still fighting against the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan, and adopted a policy of softness towards the Southern Dynasties.
The envoy of the Zhou State also mentioned that the Nanguo Donghai Gong sent assassins to shoot all the main generals of Yizhou in Yizhou, and asked the Nanguo to restrain the Donghai County Duke, and demanded a series of compensation, asking the Southern Dynasty to punish the Donghai Duke who would worsen the situation.
Its wording is not drastic, and asking for compensation and punishment of the East China Sea Gongyunyun is naturally a face-saving project.
Moreover, this is obviously also a pit, and after the war in the north of the Zhou State is over and the recuperation is over, there will be an excuse for the backhand to invade the south.
In Li Yu's letter, there are words and phrases such as "Brother is brave and unparalleled, and brother is also honorable", excited, and directly commensurate with brothers.
The letter also wrote that after his father saw the envoy of the Zhou State, he was extremely happy, and his health seemed to have improved greatly, and said that the Duke of Donghai shocked the northern country and was small, and he used private property to help the military town, so as to prepare to order the Duke of Donghai and the deputy envoy of the Jing Navy.
In a few days, the edict should arrive.
Lu Ning was still thinking about how to make the preparation of the navy in the East China Sea a success, although the so-called preparation of the navy now is more for a concept, but the sooner the better.
But he didn't want to, he was crooked, and the assassination in Yizhou added points to himself in front of Tang Lord Li Jing.
Of course, it is unknown what Li Jing thought at a deep level, and how he would suddenly agree to Li Yu to come to Haizhou.
Its transformation is definitely not only the result of the conflict between the East China Sea and the Zhou soldiers in Yizhou, but also the result of their own victory.
Moreover, Zhou sent envoys to reproach this kind of thing, which was not serious in the first place, and many countries did this kind of thing, obviously with a little dispute, after sending the envoy, the people of my state who could be arranged were all killed by you, so that you could stand on the moral high ground.
From the perspective of the entire history of China, it seems that most of the time is a history of being invaded, but the territory of China is getting bigger and bigger.
Therefore, the words of the envoy of the Zhou State, there should be few people in the court who will really take it seriously.
Not to mention, in terms of the current strange government of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as long as the edict does not arrive one day, there may be changes, and we can only wait and see what happens.
Tang lord Li Jing has always been soft-eared, maybe someone will arrange a few sentences, and the matter will be blown up.
Li Yu's understanding of the court situation is sometimes really unreliable.
