Chapter 851: Planning for the Future
"Jiang Ming, the old man heard that you haven't married a wife yet?" Li Qiong raised her wine glass, looked at Zuo Ziguang, gestured slightly, and then raised her neck to drink it all.
Zuo Ziguang smiled and drank a full glass of wine, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that the old Li Xianggong wanted to be a matchmaker?
At this time, Li Qiong put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Jiang Ming, don't worry, your marriage is not to blame, and the old man can't help it." However, the old man has a few maids, and their appearance can only be said to be average, but they are good at making mattresses and quilts, washing and sewing, and making tea......
Zuo Ziguang is doing things that are not visible, how can he put a batch of eyeliner next to him, he was about to interject and politely declined.
"In the early years, the old man made people buy a small house in the north of the capital, which is located in the construction hall, close to the Donghua Gate......" Li Qiong grabbed ahead of him and explained in detail, "Those maids have been living in that house, and the neighbors are also very familiar with it......"
Zuo Ziguang was ordered to return to Kaifeng, originally to pave the way for the future to do a good job of paving the way for the future, although Li Qiong did not say it explicitly, but the words revealed vital information: the house is not big, very close to the palace, and the maids in the house often show up, so as not to attract the attention of people.
Hehe, old Li Xianggong, what are you trying to do when you tell me this?
Zuo Ziguang thought about it for a while, but he was just a few servants, why did he bother to wipe the face of Lao Li Xianggong? With Zuo Ziguang's means, if you want to make a few maids evaporate from the world and disappear without a trace, it is simply easy.
"Then thank you for the kindness of the old man." Zuo Ziguang agreed to accept the house and maids without hesitation, which made Li Qiong feel the great kindness from his political allies.
With Li Qiong's political vision, he knows very well in his heart that Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu are Li Zhongyi's only two sworn brothers, and they are higher than Zuo Ziguang in terms of identity and status.
Being able to make friends with Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu is good for Li Qiong, but it is precisely because of the high status of these two that the input and output are likely to be disproportionate.
There are things that the disciples can do, but the righteous brother can't. In the final analysis, even if Zuo Ziguang, who has a low rank, secretly does bad things, Li Zhongyi has a lot of excuses to cover up and push for him.
More importantly, according to Li Anguo, Zuo Ziguang was in charge of military justice in the Li family army for several years.
Since the late Tang Dynasty, from the continuous change of emperors in the Shence Army, to Zhu Wen's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty, and then to Guo Wei's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, Chai Rong has sat on the throne, relying on military power.
Li Zhongyi was originally the concubine of the medical officer of the Shu Kingdom, and in just a few years, he was able to rise to become the first feudal town in the potential strength of the Great Zhou, relying on the Li Jiajun that he single-handedly created, which is now the Yulin Siwei.
Because Li Qiong and Li Zhongyi have always had a close relationship, they know much more about Li Zhongyi's strength than others. Not to mention anything else, just to say that the tens of thousands of elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty under the command of Guo Huai under the command of the Lingxia Army are already qualified to be proud of the others.
In this era of lack of horses, what kind of deterrent power does a strategic cavalry with tens of thousands of people have, please refer to the Khitan people who often go south to fight the grass valley, and the huge psychological pressure on the entire Hedong and Hebei officials, gentry and merchants.
Before the death of the first emperor Chai Rong, the party horses from the northwest were continuously transported to the Central Plains, and the guards under Han Tong and the palace division controlled by Zhao Kuangyin also had a horse army.
But the problem is that although the government-run horse farm under the Imperial Court Herding Department consumes a lot of money and grain, the progress in the breeding, breeding and even expansion of war horses is unusually slow.
The most conspicuous problem is that due to the backwardness of the concept of breeding and breeding horses, as well as the inherent sense of privilege of the scholar class, corruption is uncontrollable, so that the excellent party stallions transported from the northwest have died in an unnatural and large-scale area.
One of Zuo Ziguang's main responsibilities is to collect and sort out the various dynamics of the entire Great Zhou military, and the real situation of the horse farm, he is naturally clear.
However, standing in Zuo Ziguang's position, although it is a pity that the good horse is raised cheaply, and even the sadness of raising it to death, he does not feel pity at all.
The imperial court lacks horses, but the Li family army is not short of horses, and when it comes to the-for-tat strategic decisive battle, the Li family army, which is full of mobility and impact, will occupy a great advantage, just as the Khitans have been overwhelmed by the Central Plains dynasties before.
After Zuo Ziguang accepted the gift without hesitation, Li Qiong's original unease instantly turned into peace of mind.
As for what kind of person Zuo Ziguang is, even if Li Qiong is not particularly clear, she knows a lot through Li Anguo.
The root cause of Li Qiong's peace of mind was that without Li Zhongyi's permission, Zuo Ziguang categorically accepted the gift from his allies, and on the other hand, it must have been Li Zhongyi who greeted him in advance.
Since he is a real political ally, Li Qiong, who is relieved, is not so polite, and said with a smile: "Ming Xianqi, Zhengqing, this kid is fooling around in Kaifeng City all day long, and it is not a matter for a long time, and it is very likely to provoke the entire family." The old man is old, and his energy is not as good as before, so Zhengqing, the demon king of the mixed world, will ask you to restrain me for me. ”
Zuo Ziguang caught Li Qiong off guard, he didn't expect that Li Qiong would hand over Li Anguo, a gentleman, to him to discipline.
In Zuo Ziguang's view, because Li Qiong's family power has been greatly damaged and has been going downhill, although Li Anguo is unusually "naughty", because his backer is not strong, he is also more restrained than other gentlemen.
All in all, in Zuo Ziguang's view, Li Anguo is the son of a wealthy family who does not make big mistakes and keeps making small mistakes, and there is still a cure.
Zuo Ziguang was really embarrassed, not because he couldn't offend Li Qiniang, but because he felt that he didn't have time to deal with Li Anguo. Who Li Zhongyi is, no one knows better than Zuo Ziguang.
Zuo Ziguang still remembers it vividly, and Li Zhongyi once told him personally that it is of high strategic significance that women in the backyard are not allowed to interfere in politics.
For his mentor Li Zhongyi, Zuo Ziguang was so worshipful that he threw himself to the ground. However, Li Zhongyi is not a saint, and the common disease inherent in powerful men - the disease of widows is especially obvious in Li Zhongyi.
Li Qiniang is qualified to be included in the ranks of the "Four Beauties of Beijing", and when it comes to appearance and family history, without exception, they are all the best choices.
Under Zuo Ziguang's personal arrangement, Li Qiniang has also gone east, and is likely to become one of his little masters.
However, the pillow wind not only does not have any positive effect on Li Zhongyi, but is extremely harmful to the person who blows the wind.
Zuo Ziguang thought about it for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he smiled: "Old Xiangguo, why don't you send Brother Zhengqing to the army for training?" ”
Li Qiong laughed, the Zuo Ziguang in front of him was indeed a wonderful person who knew the meaning of the strings and songs, and this discussion was in his arms.
