Chapter Twenty-Nine: Another Family Affair
Passing away the time full of joy and gratitude, Zhao Yucai suddenly remembered a fatal event.
Fang La's men, what kind of simple robbers are they? They are Mingjiao, and Zhao Yu clearly remembers that Fang La rebelled in the early years of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is not a big deal to get a robber out of prison, and I heard Shi Qian say that these people did not succeed in robbing, but if Fang La rebelled, this matter would be a big deal.
Fortunately, Fang La and they are still relatively stopping, and this matter must also be dissociated from themselves, otherwise it will be really easy to get into trouble.
Of course, he can't tell Yang Xu about this, otherwise he won't agree to Zhao Yu's participation.
was thinking wildly in the study, when Feng Quan's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, can the old slave come in conveniently?"
Hearing Feng Quan's voice, Zhao Yu couldn't help but grow his head for a while, not because of how annoying Feng Quan was, but because he knew that the queen's wife would definitely arrange for him to go on a blind date again.
It's a very helpless thing, but I have to agree, but I don't know whose girl it is this time.
After recruiting Feng Quan in, Zhao Yu said weakly: "Old Feng! When you go and tell your mother, you will say that I am sick, and I am very sick, and as soon as I mention marriage, I will be sick."
Feng Quanqiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Highness will definitely not be able to guess who is going to marry Your Highness this time."
Zhao Yu pursed his lips and said, "Who can do it?" It's not like I can't find a wife."
"It is a document sent by the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State for 800 miles, hoping to marry her niece to His Royal Highness"
Listening to Feng Quan's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, if she guessed correctly, this niece of Empress Dowager Xiao must be Xiao Yiyi, this joke is a bit big, right?
Xiao Yiyi and the envoys of the Liao State secretly came to Beijing before, hoping to marry Xiao Yiyi to the crown prince Zhao Huan as the crown princess, but Zhao Huan did not agree, but after knowing that Xiao Yiyi liked Zhao Yan, he wanted to agree to this family affair, and then picked up Xiao Yiyi who did not agree.
Now that Empress Dowager Xiao actually wants to marry her niece to Zhao Yu, you Khitans don't care about this, we Han people can't take it seriously, and once this matter comes true, the relationship between Zhao Yu and Zhao Huan is not very harmonious, and it is bound to be even more like fire and water, what does this old Mrs. Xiao think?
Thinking of Xiao Yiyi's behavior to herself when she left, Zhao Yu knew that this matter was probably brought up by the girl.
Xiao Yiyi's pure and beautiful posture and appearance flashed in his mind, and Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he also knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Thinking of this, he said quietly: "What did the queen mother say? What does Father mean? ”
"When the old slave was waiting for the queen, he heard His Majesty say to the queen that the Liao State had suffered a defeat against the Jin State, so he wanted to marry my dynasty and then deal with the Jin State together.
Zhao Yu really wanted to tell Feng Quan that the biggest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty was actually the Jurchens, don't look at the Liao State now, but this situation will soon change, and the Jurchens are the nightmare of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that Feng Quan doesn't believe it, looking at the world, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
I heard Feng Quan continue: "After the Yongxing Army stayed, Liu Wenguang visited the queen a few days ago, saying that he had a daughter to be in the boudoir, and presented the birthday to the queen together, the queen was very satisfied after reading it, and had promised to let the old slave come to inform His Highness."
Zhao Yu was stunned again, he knew that Feng Quan had been talking for a long time, and only this passage was his intention, but what kind of thing was this Liu Wenguang?
Knowing that it was useless to refuse, he pouted and said, "This Lord Liu reacted quickly enough, these Beijing officials who saw the wind and steered the rudder!" ”
"Your Highness doesn't know, Lord Liu has been appointed by His Majesty as the observer of Hebei East Road, and he knows about Taiyuan affairs, and he is about to take office."
"Hebei East Road Observation Envoy, Taiyuan Prefect?"
Hearing this official position, Zhao Yu's eyes flickered, and his heart quickly calculated.
From the beginning of the crossing, Zhao Yu has been thinking about leaving the capital, he knows that as far as the entire two Song Dynasty is concerned, Jiangnan is still safe, and when the Mongols rise up and destroy the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty, he will have already turned into dust.
But as a bloody Han person, who traveled back in time from more than a thousand years later, is it just to enjoy life? The answer is clearly no.
Zhao Yu has been busy drawing money now, and he hasn't thought about what place to use as a development base, but this place will definitely not be Jiangnan.
Taiyuan Mansion is now the closest big city to the Song-Liao border, regardless of geographical location or the quality of soldiers, it is the first choice, and it is definitely a good place for boring development.
I didn't take this Lord Liu seriously before, because many Beijing officials will be crowned with titles such as so-and-so observation envoy and regimental training envoy, just like Zhao Yu himself, he also has the titles of inspector and lieutenant of the school and the envoy of the Baoding army, but these titles are useless, and they are just empty for a fortune.
But an official position like Liu Wenguang who knows about a certain local affairs is an actual official position, so if Zhao Yuzhen wants to settle in Taiyuan, he will definitely borrow strength.
These thoughts just flashed in Zhao Yu's mind, and then he said helplessly: "I still have something to do today, you go back to my mother for me first, everything is arranged by the queen mother, and I will go into the palace tomorrow morning to thank you and ask for peace."
Sending Feng Quan away, Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, and once again ordered someone to find Yang Xu.
"Brother Yang, do you know Liu Wenguang?"
Hearing this name, Yang Xu pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "A sycophant, he used to be Cai Jing's person, but later when he saw that Cai Jing was seriously ill and couldn't go to the court, he gradually leaned towards Liang Shicheng, a boneless guy, how did His Highness remember to ask him?" ”
His future father-in-law is actually this virtue, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and told Yang Xu again about Feng Quan's intention just now.
Listening to Zhao Yu's words, Yang Xu couldn't help but smile and said: "This guy reacts quite quickly, but if this guy is really Liang Shicheng's person, I'm afraid this matter will not be so simple."
Yang Xu reminded him like this, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that Liang Shicheng was Zhao Huan's hardcore, if Liu Wenguang had really taken refuge in Liang Shicheng, how could Liang Shicheng allow Liu Wenguang to marry his daughter to him?
It's a bit of a mess!
For a while, Zhao Yu felt that his head seemed to be a lot bigger.
But seeing Yang Xu suddenly smiled, he said, "Does Your Highness think that this matter has any loss to you?" ”
A word wakes up the dreamer, doesn't it! Who is Liu Wenguang, and what can he do? I'm afraid that in the end, I can't tell who is calculating whom!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Thanks to Brother Yang's reminder, otherwise I would be a little embarrassed, do me a favor and send someone to inquire about this Miss Liu family, to see if she is worth it to let this king be wronged?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, there is a prince surnamed Zhou outside the mansion, saying that he has something important to see"
As soon as Zhao Yu's words fell, the sound of the maid's report came from outside the door.
"The son surnamed Zhou?"
Zhao Yu subconsciously shook his head, there seemed to be no one surnamed Zhou among the people he knew in his memory.
Zhao Yu was planning to visit Master Li, so he didn't plan to meet strangers at all.
"Let someone leave a post, and wait for the king to make time to talk about it"...
