Chapter 168: The Finale

Previous Chapter

"Zhang Chao. How's the construction of the intelligence network? Tang Zheng asked Zhang Chao, today is the day when officials from all over Youbeiping go to Rinshan to report on their work, and it is also the day when the Rinshan meeting is held. All the officials under the jurisdiction of Youbeiping gathered in Rinshan today.

"Childe, our intelligence network has begun to take shape, except for the two distant counties of Bashu, almost no state and county have intelligence personnel we have placed." Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"These are the things that subordinates should do."

"Alright, you go in first."

After Zhang Chao left, Tang Zheng continued to stand in front of the door of the city hall and wait for the officials who came to report on their work, which is now completely unimaginable if you wanted to rush to Rinshan in one day from the counties of Youbeiping, and now the main roads leading to the counties in Rinshan have all been hardened, which can also allow the counties to reach Rinshan in one day.

"Fujun, it's good to haven't seen you for a long time." Wuzhong County Ling Tian Chou greeted Tang Zheng.

"Hahaha, everything is fine, how is Brother Tian lately?"

"With the blessing of the king, all the subordinates are fine!"

"That's good, Brother Tian still invites you to sit inside, and we'll talk about it after the meeting is over!"

"Okay, then the subordinates will go in first." Tian Chou arched his hand towards Tang Zheng and walked towards the city hall.

"Lord Jiang, Lord Xu, how did the two of you come together?" Tang Zheng smiled and said to Jiang Chen and Xu Wei, who were walking towards the city hall.

"I happened to meet Master Jiang when I entered the city, and this is how I got together with Lord Jiang." Xu Wei replied.

"Two inside, please! Wait until the meeting is over and talk to the two adults. ”

"Okay, then the subordinates will go in first!" After speaking, Xu Wei and Hungry Jiangchen also bowed their hands to Tang Zheng and walked towards the city hall.

Tang Zheng stayed in front of the city hall until everyone had arrived before turning around and walking towards the city hall. Walking to the conference room of the city hall and looking at the people who were talking to each other, Tang Zheng was full of emotion for a while, thinking that he was alone when he first arrived in this world, with no head and no rain to cover the rain, and he couldn't imagine that he had created such a strong team in just a few years, no wonder Liu Hong would be so jealous of himself, Tang Zheng believed that as long as he gave himself a few more years, he would have the capital to compete in the world even in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

Tang Zheng retracted his thoughts, walked to the rostrum, raised his hand, and then bowed to everyone in the audience. When everyone in the audience was puzzled and didn't understand what Tang Zheng meant, Tang Zheng said to everyone: "Thank you for your support and help to Tang Zheng over the years, it is because of your help that Rinshan and Youbeiping have the current situation." Here I thank you all, thank you for everything you have done for Rinshan and Youbeiping! After speaking, Tang Zheng bowed again!

There was warm applause from the audience, and Tang Zheng pressed his hand and continued: "Some of us here today only joined us last year, so I won't introduce you more. The content of today's meeting is mainly to summarize some of our last year's summary and some plans for the coming year. ”

The meeting lasted for most of the day before it ended, and after the end, Tang Zheng prepared wine and food in the post house to entertain everyone, which was the practice of Rinshan. It wasn't until the moon was in the west that Tang Zheng returned to the Tang Mansion drunk.

"Husband, why are you drinking so much today?" Cai Yan, who helped Tang Zheng back to the room to rest, said that Liu Ling had already covered her nose and stayed away from Tang Zheng on the side.

"I'm happy to drink a little more today." Tang Zheng said to Cai Yan drunkenly, and after speaking, he listened to the movement inside Cai Yan's stomach.

"Ah, husband, what are you doing, it's only been two months now!" Cai Yan said shyly.

"I'll see if he's naughty."

Cai Yan glanced at Tang Zheng and helped him to lie down on the bed, at this time Liu Ling also took the hot water from the maid's hand and walked towards Tang Zheng, tonight Tang Zheng was really drunk, and his speech was slurred.

"Yan'er, Ling'er, I really don't know how many lifetimes of blessings I can get from you." Tang Zheng took Cai Yan and Liu Ling's hands and said. The two girls looked at Tang Zheng who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and both shook their heads in unison.

At this time, Tang Zheng said inarticulately: "You don't know, in our era, let alone marrying two like you, even if you marry one of you, you will wake up laughing when you fall asleep, Yan'er, you don't know how many people are the goddess in our time!" ”

Cai Yan and Liu Ling listened to Tang Zheng muttering and didn't understand what he was talking about, and he closed his mouth again when he was about to listen carefully to what he said. Liu Ling looked at Tang Zheng funny and wiped his body carefully.

At this time, I saw Tang Zheng say vaguely: "In our era, marrying a wife requires not only a house, but also a car. Although there were all kinds of bad things in that era, I still wanted to go back, but unfortunately I couldn't go back. After speaking, Tang Zheng's eyes shed two lines of tears.

Liu Ling, who was wiping Tang Zheng's body, only heard some words about house, car, and couldn't go back, and was about to ask Tang Zheng when he saw that Tang Zheng's face was already in tears.

Liu Ling saw Tang Zheng crying for the first time, and she didn't understand what he dreamed of in his dreams, so that Tang Zheng, who usually seemed to have everything under control and knew everything well, would also have a vulnerable side, she always thought that Tang Zheng was a person with a heart like a rock. Maybe it was because he got drunk tonight that his fragile side was exposed, or maybe the husband always buried all the pain in his heart, facing everyone with a smile, until he licked ‖ ‖ wounds alone in the dead of night.

Liu Ling suddenly felt that her chest tightened, as if someone was holding her heart hard, at this moment Liu Ling seemed to understand Tang Zheng, he was not as strong as he usually showed, and he also had moments of vulnerability. Liu Ling hugged Tang Zheng's head and let him cling to his chest.

Cai Yan didn't understand what was going on, but suddenly saw her husband crying, and then Liu Ling also cried and hugged her husband tightly in her arms. She couldn't understand what was going on, maybe it was something that happened to her husband's muttering just now, and Liu Ling might have cried because she understood her husband. looked at the crying Liu Ling, and Cai Yan also cried.

"Sister Zhaoji, you go down to rest first, and I'll take care of you tonight." Liu Ling wiped her tears and said to Cai Yan.

"It's okay sister, you can't be busy alone, I'll accompany you here."

Liu Ling didn't say anything when she saw Cai Yan's resoluteness, she just held Tang Zheng in her arms and hugged him tightly to her chest, so that he no longer felt lonely. Tang Zheng, who was leaning on Liu Ling's arms, quickly stopped muttering and fell into a deep sleep. Tang Zheng slept very sweetly this night, as if he was leaning on his mother's arms when he was a child.

The next day, Tang Zheng woke up from his dream and felt as if he was leaning on someone's arms, so he looked up and saw Liu Ling looking at him with red and swollen eyes and a smile. "How could I fall asleep in your arms? You're pregnant, so you don't have to worry about me. Tang Zheng got up from Liu Ling's arms and said to Liu Ling.

"I'm fine, my husband was drunk and talked all night in my sleep last night!" Liu Ling said with a smile, and was about to get up and move her body, but she was unexpectedly lying in Tang Zheng's arms all night, and her body was a little out of her control, so she fell forward.

Tang Zheng hurriedly held Liu Ling and said to her, "Look at you, you also said that you are okay and your body is numb." ”

"Husband, I am lucky in my life to be able to marry you!" Liu Ling said to Tang Zheng.

"Well, it's also a husband's luck to marry you, okay, lie down and sleep for a while." After speaking, Tang Zheng helped Liu Ling to lie down on the bed, and then carried Cai Yan, who was asleep on the table, back to the room. After finishing all this, Tang Zheng shook his head and walked towards the kitchen, he was going to boil a pot of porridge for Liu Ling and Cai Yan.

In Luoyang West Garden, Liu Hong sat on a high dragon chair, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others knelt below.

"I plan to set up eight captains in the West Garden, under my command, I don't know what you want!" Liu Hong said to everyone.

"There is an order in the saint, don't dare to disobey Weichen!" The crowd replied.

"Hahaha, that's good! Jian Shuo stepped forward to listen to the seal! ”

"The slave is here."

"I have appointed you as the captain of the military academy, and the commanders of all armies are directly under my orders!"

"The slave obeys."

"Yuan Shao!"

"The end will be."

"Okay, Zhu Qing obeyed the orders of the military academy captain Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo directly obeyed me. Do you have any opinions? Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty said to everyone.

"Obey the order!" The crowd replied.

"Okay, since Zhu Qing has no opinion, then go down and recruit troops and build the framework for me as soon as possible!"

"No!" After everyone answered, they all exited the forbidden palace.

Emperor Han Ling set up eight captains in the West Garden Tang Zheng received a letter from Luoyang after half a month, seeing what the secret letter said Tang Zheng still had to sigh at the strength of history, thinking that his butterfly from later generations changed the direction of history, but he didn't expect that history finally returned to the original trajectory, but this time Emperor Han Ling set up eight captains in the West Garden, not only to fight against the general He Jin, but also to guard against the local rulers and state pastors such as Tang Zheng.

Just when Tang Zheng sighed that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had finally stepped onto the big stage of history, the next generation of the family came to report that the two young ladies were about to give birth and were about to give birth. Tang Zheng put down the secret letter in his hand and hurriedly ran home.

When Tang Zheng just ran to the house, a loud cry came from Liu Ling's room, which indicated that Tang Zheng's first child in this world came to this world. Tang Zheng stood in the courtyard in a daze, forgetting everything around him, and at this moment there was only one sentence hovering in his mind: "I have a child." ”

Just as Tang Zheng was still immersed in the joy of having a child, the cry of a baby came from Cai Yan's room next to him. At this time, a maid ran to Tang Zheng and said, "Congratulations to the young master, the princess gave birth to a boy, and the young lady also gave birth to a daughter." Both ladies are fine, the young master and the young lady are very healthy! ”

"Hahaha, now Lao Tzu's children are complete, reward, big reward, the whole house has it!" Tang Zheng laughed and said to the people around him who reported the good news, and then ran to the room of the two ladies without stopping.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! The maid said behind Tang Zheng.

Now that the little young master and young lady who are finally looking forward to the arrival of the Tang Mansion, the entire Tang Mansion is relieved.

"Yan'er, you're okay!" Tang Zheng asked Cai Yan.

"Husband, I'm fine, I can only fail to give birth to a boy for my husband." Cai Yan said depressedly.

"What's wrong with a girl about saying this? As long as it's my Tang Zheng's daughter, I still love her, and besides, we're not still young, the boy will have it in the future. Tang Zheng comforted.

"Well, thank you, husband, by the way, husband and wife, go see Sister Liu Ling! It's okay on my end. ”

"I'll go in a minute, do you have anything uncomfortable?" Tang Zheng asked.

"No, I'm fine, husband, go quickly!" Cai Yan urged.

"Alright then, I'll go first, if you're uncomfortable somewhere remember to call me."

"Uh-huh, I see, go ahead!"

Tang Zheng kissed Cai Yan lightly on the forehead, and then kissed his daughter's forehead, then turned around and opened the door and walked towards Liu Ling's room.

"What, I've been to Sister Zhaohime's place?" Liu Ling asked Tang Zheng, who pushed the door in.

"I've been there, how is it, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine, why don't you spend more time with Sister Zhaoji, why are you here with me!"

"I said that you pushed me out one by one, can't you care about my feelings!"

"Why should you care about your feelings? It is not our sisters who are suffering. ”

Tang Zheng was speechless, looking at Tang Zheng who was deflated, Liu Ling hugged the child and said to Tang Zheng: "Husband, this is our child!" ”

Tang Zheng squeezed to the side of the bed and looked at the meat ‖ group in Liu Ling's arms and said, "Well, our child!" ”

The next day, the news of Tang Zheng's joy to win his son and daughter spread throughout Rinshan, spreading to the surroundings at an even more terrifying speed. At this time, everyone who followed Tang Zheng put down the big stone in their hearts one after another, and the wealth of their children and grandchildren had fallen.

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people visiting the Tang Mansion, whether they know or not, they all come to congratulate them, and Tang Zheng does not refuse to come. In order to thank these people, Tang Zheng specially set up a flowing water mat at home, and as long as someone comes, they can eat for free.

Rinshan fell into a sea of joy because of Tang Zheng's affairs, and various merchants have launched various activities to express the joy in their hearts, they do business in Rinshan, as long as you pay the taxes stipulated by the government, no matter how big the business is, no one will come to your attention, provided that you abide by the rules of Rinshan.

They have never encountered a place like this, if they do business in other states and counties, not only have to pay taxes but also have to go up and down, and there is not much money left after being busy all year round, only in the territory of Rinshan in Youbeiping they have realized the meaning of fairness and justice, and also gave birth to the idea of living here for a long time, and now the eldest son of Taishou was born, and the idea of living here for a long time is getting bigger and bigger.

"News from Gongzi Luoyang." Today is the day of Tang Zheng's son and daughter's third birthday, Tang Zheng was toasting table by table with a wine glass, and at this time Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng with a secret report that his subordinates had just sent.

"Show me it." Tang Zheng casually handed the wine glass to Liu Ling on the side, took the report and read it, and after a while, Tang Zheng's face changed greatly, and he forgot about it because he was happy about his son and daughter recently.

Looking at Tang Zheng, whose face had changed drastically, Liu Ling asked, "Husband, is there something wrong?" ”

"Ling'er, you have to be mentally prepared. Rest assured, everything is there! Tang Zheng said to the two of them.

"Husband, did something happen to my father?" Looking at Tang Zheng's face, Liu Ling immediately guessed that something had happened to his father who was far away in Luoyang.

Tang Zheng didn't speak, but handed the secret report in his hand to Liu Ling, Liu Ling, who took the secret report, looked at it for a while, only to feel that the sky was spinning and the sky seemed to have collapsed, Tang Zheng helped the crumbling Liu Ling and said: "Ling'er, the festival mourns and changes!" You and me and the child. ”

Liu Ling nodded, her hands hung down weakly, and the secret report in her hand also slipped to the ground, only to see that the secret report read: "In February of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Liu Hong died in the Nangong Jiade Palace. ”
