Chapter 753: A Dream Comes at Night
Returning to the palace of the king of Jin in the afternoon, Guo Song concentrated on processing the remaining dozen reports together, and at dusk, Cao Wannian found Guo Song, and he brought Guo Song an important news, Zhu Zhu's army captured Yangzhou.
Guo Song didn't speak for a long time, he walked to the window with his hands down, looked out the window, Zhu Zhu finally broke through the Huai River, which was expected by him, but really came to this point, Zhu Zhu still sat down.
Cao Wannian sighed lightly and said, "Your Highness, in fact, we can attack Luoyang, and Zhu Jun will not dare to act rashly to the south." ”
Guo Song looked back at him strangely, "Why do you say that, Zhu Zhu's capture of Yangzhou is exactly what I was looking forward to." ”
Cao Wannian was stunned and puzzled: "But His Highness doesn't seem to be happy!" ”
Guo Song shook his head, "You don't understand this contradiction, Zhu Zhu's capture of Yangzhou makes me very unhappy, but his capture of Yangzhou will suppress the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is in our interests, so I love and hate him for capturing Yangzhou." ”
"Humble duty understood."
"Do you really understand?"
Guo Xiao asked, "Didn't you perfunctory me?" ”
Cao Wannian nodded, "I really understand." ”
Cao Wannian really understood that the real enemy of the lord was not Zhu Zhu but Nantang, he remembered what Pan Liao said to himself, no matter how fancy Zhu Jun was dressed, in the eyes of the world, he was still a pig, but even if Nantang was defeated repeatedly, as long as he achieved a little success, the people of the world would bow and worship.
Therefore, the Southern Tang Dynasty must fail, fail, and fail again, to the dictatorship of eunuchs, to have heavy taxes, and to boil public resentment, so that they can disappoint the people of the world again and again, and finally despair of him.
At this time, Cao Wannian suddenly had a realization in his heart that the palace coup that occurred in the Southern Tang Dynasty may also have the shadow of the lord! Not long after the Dugu Autumn came, a palace coup took place, could it be so coincidental?
Guo Song waved his hand and said: "Now our focus is not on foreign conquest, but on internal affairs, moving the Jin Palace's palace to Chang'an, the essence is to move the capital, and there are a lot of things to deal with, and you are the same, there are a few things I want to explain to you." ”
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"The first thing is to build the official houses of the low-level officials, the officials above the fifth grade have official residences, and the officials below the fifth grade live in the official houses, the official houses are divided into three grades, half an acre of land, one acre of land and two acres of land, there will probably be more than a thousand courtyards, built in the old Chang'an City, I will let Zhang Lei and Li An contract for the specific construction, give them thirty percent of the net profit, tomorrow afternoon they will come here to sign the contract, this matter will be your responsibility."
Cao Wannian didn't understand why the Lord Guild had made himself responsible for this matter? Du You is from Chang'an, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let him be in charge?
But Cao Wannian didn't ask much, he immediately bowed down and agreed, maybe the lord had his idea and didn't let the Du family interfere in this matter.
"The second thing, I plan to cancel the curfew, the curfew from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the present, more than a hundred years, only three days of Shangyuan Festival every year, the other nights are to close the door, there is no point in doing so, the real evildoers will not be affected by the curfew, but seriously hinder the development of business, so I plan to cancel the curfew in two steps, first do not close the door, allow the people to go to the street all night, allow the business to open the door all night, the same is true for the East and West markets, and when the time is ripe, then open the city gate all night, I want to implement this matter as soon as possible, After consulting with the Jingzhao government, you will draw up a plan. ”
"The lowly job will start early tomorrow morning."
"There is a third thing, about the use of the root of the city wall, it is forbidden to build houses within fifty steps of the root of the city wall, I decided to abolish this ban, and then build a large number of cheap official rental houses along the root of the city wall to provide to the people at the bottom of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, I plan to let the army do this, but I need to estimate how much it will cost, you find someone to make a plan for me."
Cao Wannian was taken aback, the city wall is more than forty miles long, this is a big deal!
He thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that the people who are close to the city wall will not agree, in fact, they will definitely not agree, they will make trouble, and no one will want to live in a large number of low-level people in their own squares." ”
Guo Song also thought of this question, so he said: "Then build a wall to separate the squares close to the city wall, and then remove all the square walls at the root of the city wall, so that the roots of the city wall can be connected." ”
Cao Wannian thought about it, this is a good way, anyway, the curfew is abolished, and it doesn't matter if the people at the root of the city wall are not isolated by the wall.
"Consider this matter together with the lifting of the curfew, and discuss it with the local government tomorrow."
Cao Wannian said goodbye and left, Guo Song looked out the window with his hands down, he was actually still thinking about Yangzhou, and he had to stop Zhu Jun from marching to Jiangnan.
..........
At night, Guo Song was asleep, and he was suddenly awakened by a little movement on the roof.
He had lived in the Cave of Silence for a year, and was exceptionally sensitive to sound in the dead of night, waking him up at the slightest noise, but interestingly, he was not so sensitive when he slept with his wife at home.
Guo Song remained silent and kept his posture unchanged, but he slowly reached out and touched the fish intestine sword from under the pillow.
At this time, he heard the sound of clothes, someone jumped to the roof outside the window, Guo Song slept on a small three-story building, the first and second floors lived with soldiers, he slept on the third floor, there were two patrols and mastiffs around, this person actually broke through the defense line in a row, climbed to his own upstairs, this person's martial arts are really good.
Guo Song put the pillow and futon in human shape, and he gently leaned over and disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, the window clicked open, and a tall man in black jumped in, and he did not pounce on the bed, but knelt in front of the window.
Guo Song suddenly recognized the woman in black, he laughed, stepped forward and pressed the shoulder of the woman in black, the woman in black was startled, and was about to resist, Guo Song smiled: "It's me!" ”
The woman in black threw herself into his arms in surprise, Guo Song carried her to the bed, and the two climbed together fiercely, at this time any words were superfluous.......
Half an hour later, the two finally stopped raining, Guo Song gently stroked Ying Cai and his gorgeous face, this bewitching woman really made him heartbroken, but unfortunately he couldn't accept her into the room, she killed too many officials, even Jiang Gongfu and Liu Yan, the two prime ministers, died in her hands, accepting her into the room would be a stain on her image, and she could only be regarded as a secret lover.
"I thought you'd come earlier?" Guo Song said with a smile.
Ying Caihe knelt up and said, "Return to the master......"
Guo Song saw her kneeling on the bed defenseless, which was really a bit funny, so he hugged her, lay her on top of him, and said with a smile: "I like this better!" ”
Ying Caihe put his arms around his master's neck and whispered in his ear: "I have been monitoring the Queen Mother in Chengdu, if she wants to call Wang Li Si as the emperor, I will rush to Lingnan to kill Li Si." ”
Only then did Guo Song remember that there was also the king of Zhao, Li Si, who served as the envoy of the festival in Lingnan, was not in Chengdu, and escaped by luck.
"Does the master want me to assassinate Li Si?"
Guo Song thought for a while and said, "Not for the time being. ”
"Master Qiyu, I also brought two apprentices, they are two little palace maids, their martial arts are very high, they usually guard the queen mother, I brought them back, and they are currently living in the inn."
"And then?" Guo Song didn't understand what she meant.
"I'll take them to the Jade Spirit Palace tomorrow." Ying Caihe's voice carried a hint of grievance.
Guo Song smiled: "If you don't want to become a monk, you don't have to go." ”
Ying Caihe said: "I don't like a life of fetters, I couldn't help it before, but now I like to be free." ”
Guo Song smiled dumbly, "You are going to be the palace master, there are three hundred female Taoist priests under your command, you can go wherever you want, who can care about you?" ”
Ying Caihe is right to think about it, she is the master of the first palace, who can control where she wants to go, she suddenly became happy, "Then I will listen to the master's arrangement, I will be the palace master during the day, and come to serve the master at night." ”
Guo Song laughed, "Don't wait for tomorrow, serve me now!" ”
Ying Cai and his eyes are like silk, and his breath is like an orchid, and the house is full of spring for a while.
The clouds went and the rain came again, the rain fell and the clouds gathered again, until the middle of the night, Guo Song finally got a little tired, lay down and closed his eyes, breathed for a moment and asked: "Tell me about your previous affairs, where are you from?" Are the parents still around? ”
Ying Caihe lay beside him and said quietly: "I am from Yuezhou, at that time the master was in Mingzhou Qinglian Guanyunyou, she saw that I was very qualified, so she asked for the consent of my parents and took me away, I was only five years old at that time, I was the eldest in the family, there was a brother and two sisters above, my parents couldn't support so many children, I left Jiangnan for twenty-five years, and I never went back." ”
"Do you want to go back and see?" Guo Song asked softly.
Ying Caihe nodded lightly, a trace of crystal appeared in the corner of her eyes, of course she wanted to go back, but she didn't know if her parents were still alive.
"Then go back and have a look."
Guo Song took out a box from the bedside, "There is a voucher of 10,000 taels of silver in it, it is half a jade pendant, go to Chang'an Baosheng cabinet to get the silver, you don't need a password." ”
Ying Caihe hurriedly shook his head, "I don't want it, I have a lot of myself." ”
"This is my heart, since you have become my woman, I must always show something."
Hearing this, Ying Caihe was suddenly overjoyed, hugged Guo Song's neck, and kissed him heavily on the face.
Before dawn, Ying Caihe left Chang'an with two female disciples and went to his hometown in Jiangnan to find relatives.
