Chapter 213: The Eve
Guozhong's house has been in the court for the past two days, and the emperor's favor has made him extremely glorious and worships Jing Zhaoyin, and his wife has also received a three-grade edict, and several sons have been honored, and even the child who was born not long ago was also named the captain of the flying horse.
Just as the lights of the night attract flying insects, the fiery aura emitted by the new magnates also has a fatal attraction, congratulating, gift-giving, and begging for favors; Colleagues, subordinates, relatives of the emperor, celebrities, and the super-rich have come to the door to reveal the new Jing Zhaoyin.
At this moment, Yang Guozhong was leading a few people to greet the guests at the door, his face seemed to be smeared with grease, his face was full of oil, and the hot sweat steamed his face as red as a boiled crab.
"Congratulations to Brother Yang for his ascension!" The two officials stepped forward to congratulate with a smile.
Yang Guozhong's expression seemed to be a lottery award, and he was surprised: "Xi Shilang and Zhao Lang came to congratulate in person, Guozhong can't afford it, please sit in the room quickly!" ”
Seeing that there was no one left and right, he quietly pulled Da Xixun aside and said in a low voice: "The matter of dogs, I don't know if there is accommodation?" ”
Da Xixun is like a treacherous old fox, only laughing and not speaking, but the meaning of this laughter is: "You can rest assured!" His Royal Highness King Qing has already explained. ”
.
stepped forward again to a humble housekeeper, holding the gift list in both hands, and bowing down to accompany the smiling face: "Lord Yang, this is a thin gift specially given by the prince of my family, please smile!" ”
Yang Guozhong smiled, "Who is the prince of your family?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Eternal King!"
.
At this time, the housekeeper came in a panic, "Master, there are too many carriages for gifts, blocking the intersection, the entry and exit are not smooth, and passers-by are scolding, what can I do?" ”
Yang Guozhong said with a straight face: "I am Jing Zhaoyin, who dares to scold!" ”
"But sir, the carriage for gifts can't get in."
Yang Guozhong immediately turned his anger into worry, "This, since this is the case, open the back door!" Let the lady go to the back door to receive the gift. ”
"But, Madame is not here!"
"Stupid, where else can she go except counting money in the back hall, go and call her, receiving gifts is more important!"
In this way, Yang Guozhong is like a chameleon, his face changes in front of the house, sometimes angry, sometimes happy, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing that life is short and the first half of his life is in vain.
"Congratulations to Yang Cheng for his promotion."
A shrill voice suddenly came from behind Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong turned around, and someone came with a chicken breast and bee waist, but it was Zhao Yue, I saw that he was full of pride, and his smile revealed a mysterious color.
"What's so good about you, smiling so mysteriously?"
Zhao Yue gently pulled Yang Guozhong, "There is indeed a good thing, please speak here!" ”
The two walked to a secluded place, Zhao Yuecai whispered a few words in Yang Guozhong's ear, Yang Guo's expression was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic, "Are you serious?" Does he really want to take the lord of the county as a concubine? ”
"This is what his eldest brother said to me personally, and his eldest brother has always apologized to me, and it is not a lie."
Yang Guozhong rubbed his hands with joy, he was Yu Shicheng, and the marriage of the second Li Xiang violated the law of the Tang Dynasty, which was the scope of his impeachment, and Li Qing's handle finally fell into his hands.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of more viciousness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid that the marriage of the second Li Xiangjun can't knock down Li Qing, I have a plan that can make them regret it for life." ”
The strong ruthlessness in Zhao Yue's tone was felt even by Yang Guozhong, he glanced at Zhao Yue in surprise, and didn't understand why he hated Li Qing so much, so he said lightly: "What strategy?" ”
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yue's mouth, "Didn't the Tibetan envoy want to propose for their new Zampu?" I'll go and tell their envoy that this Li Jingyan is the first beauty of my Tang Dynasty clan and the lord of the descendant lineage, and let them specify that Li Jingyan and his relatives, if Li Jingyan marries to Tubo, wouldn't it make Li Qing crazy! ”
"This.
Yang Guozhong was a little hesitant, he was just jealous of Li Qing, but using such a vicious trick to deal with him made him a little embarrassed, if it was spread out, wouldn't people who knew the details say that he Yang Zhaoen would take revenge.
But Zhao Yue seemed to see through Yang Guozhong's heart, so he wrote lightly: "It's a state affair for the Tang Dynasty and your relatives, others will only say that Yang Cheng has lost your reputation because of public and private interests, and besides, isn't it because you are soft-hearted that the position of the household servant fell into the hands of Li Qing?" Non-toxic husband, Lord Yang, if you are not ruthless, how can you do great things! ”
Zhao Yue saw that his persuasion had moved Yang Guozhong, and his heart was overjoyed, and he fanned the flames and said: "Two days ago, Li Qing used your private meeting with King Qing to blackmail you, and when did he take into account brotherhood. ”
One sentence reminded Yang Guozhong, 'King Qing, yes! This matter can be done by King Qing, which not only repays his favor, but also hurts Li Qing, and also gets rid of his own involvement, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. ’
.
Qingwang Li Cong is also actively arranging manpower at the moment, in addition to Sichuan, he also has a large number of industries in Yangzhou, cabinet shops, rice shops, salt is naturally one of the big heads, Yangzhou Assassin Li Chengshi is his henchman, but this is only a force in the officialdom, and there are some official things that are not suitable for appearance, such as assassination, kidnapping, etc., it needs to be done by some strange people he has collected in recent years.
"Your Highness, King Yong is asking to see you outside the palace."
Li Cong was really taken aback by the sudden report from the porter, some time ago they were fighting for the position of Tai, and the two of them could be described as bayonets.
As soon as he groaned, Li Cong understood, it is rumored that King Yong is also a big reseller of illicit salt, and now that the imperial court is cracking down on illicit salt and implementing a new salt policy, how can he not be impacted, needless to say, he must have come to himself for this matter.
"Please come and see me quickly!" Since he can put down his body, if he can't see it, he will seem narrow.
“
Mansion, I have been looking at the future for many years. ”
Yongwang Li Lan changed the coldness of the past, and the humble smile on his face was like the sunshine of the dog day, and the last layer of ice mist in Li Cong's heart was melted away.
"Hehe, my door is always open, but Shiro himself refuses to come, but blames me, where does this start?"
King Qing stepped forward, took his brother's hand with a smile, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I have lost a lot of weight, is Shilang unable to sleep day and night because of the new salt law?" ”
As soon as they met, Li Cong went straight to the point, eliminating the hypocrisy and politeness between the two, King Yong saw that he said so bluntly, and he no longer concealed it, so he laughed dryly and said: "The eldest brother is really a happy person, yes, I am indeed here for the matter of the new salt law, I heard that Li Qing went to Yangzhou, I have to discuss with the eldest brother, in order to coordinate the steps of you and me, so as not to crash into the boat and be used by Li Qing." ”
Li Cong nodded, "It's still Shilang thoughtful, if it weren't for your note in advance, our brothers would most likely be defeated by Li Qing, and I agree with you, but the affairs of Yangzhou should be dominated by the people I sent." ”
"Then it's a deal." The two of them high-fived, and they both laughed.
.
The night is deep, Li Qing stands alone in front of the window, staring at the boundless night sky, tomorrow morning, he is going to set off, go to Yangzhou to solve the financial crisis of the Tang Dynasty, when was he, he also longed to go to Guangling in the distant shadow of the lonely sail, which is a thousand years later, but also a thousand years ago, it is not only the luxury of 'waist wrapped around 100,000 runs, riding a crane down Yangzhou', but also the poetry and painting of 'Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Night'.
But going to Yangzhou tomorrow makes him feel extremely heavy on his shoulders, his shoulders will carry the revival of the entire Tang Dynasty, tomorrow is his first step, he knows very well that any reform will make countless ghosts, snakes and gods follow, and there will be a counterattack from interest groups; There is the plot of the despicable villain; There are also the elbows of those who do not act; King Qing, King Yong, Li Linfu and even Yang Guozhong may attack him, danger will accompany him from beginning to end, it will be a vicious battle, but Li Qing is not afraid, the vicious battle will arouse his fighting spirit, and he will use wisdom and decisiveness to meet the challenge. At this moment, he couldn't help but howl into the boundless universe, and his heart had never been so confident as it was today.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps quietly approaching behind him, Li Qing smiled, the curtain reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, pressed his face tightly against his back, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Lang, are you going to leave tomorrow?" ”
Li Qing turned around, opened his arms and hugged his wife, kissed her lightly on the lips, and said with a smile: "Although it is scheduled to be three or five months, in fact, two months is enough, I will come back as soon as possible, you remember, after I leave, you all move to the wild goose, you can take care of each other, and, try not to go out, I suspect that someone will use you to pull my hind legs, so you must be careful, everything is thoughtful, and you must have a few more eyes for your subordinates.
The curtain agreed one by one, she hesitated, and then said: "Why don't I let Xiaoyu go with you, so that I can take care of your daily life." ”
Li Qing smiled and gently scratched her delicate and small nose with her fingers, "Are you afraid that I will bring another woman back?" ”
"I don't have one!" Curtain's face was slightly red, but she twisted her body and refused to admit it, her eyes suddenly became hot, with a little shyness on her face, she lay in Li Qing's ear and whispered: "Li Lang, tonight.
Li Qing pinched her soft waist, her heart was hot, she nodded hurriedly, and reached out to untie her belt, at this moment, there was a soft 'click' at the door, the sound was very small, but Li Qing heard it clearly, he was secretly funny, stepped forward quickly, grabbed a snow-white wrist from the crack in the door as soon as he reached out, and dragged the eavesdropping light rain in from outside the door.
The curtain was angry and funny, "I knew it was you Xiaoni, when will your sneaky mistake be fixed!" ”
She shook her head, suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked, "When you came over, was the light in the nurse's room out?" ”
"It's out."
Xiao Yu's heart was like a deer, she glanced at Li Qing secretly, and bit her lip lightly, "Sister Lian'er, I have something to say to you." After that, he pulled the curtain and walked to the back of the tent, Li Qing suddenly realized, so he tiptoed, quietly approached the tent curtain, and erected his ears high.
.
"Sister Lian'er, Li Lang is leaving tomorrow, I, I. Smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.
.
"Don't worry! I know in my heart that I'll let him come to you tonight. ”
Li Qing's heart was hot, he looked through the thin gauze tent, under the light, the graceful bodies of the two were hazy and looming, one was petite and exquisite, with soft curves; A tall and plump, all so familiar and warm.
Li Qing was suddenly a little moved, he remembered that the three of them shared weal and sorrow together, in Yilong, in, in Chengdu, in Yibin walked together, and today, God favored, they finally became a family, his heart was full of endless love, and he could no longer bear the leakage of the heart, opened the gauze tent and hugged the two of them tightly one by one, and said with an ambiguous smile: "I have always had one for a long time, but I have never had a chance, and tonight you want to help me realize this dream, let's spend a good night together.
