Chapter Seventy-Five: Zhou Zong's Careful Thoughts

Ranger screamed again, sweating profusely on his forehead, his face was crimson, he glanced at Yang Lian with some resentment, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Do you want me to be lighter?" Yang Lian asked.

The ranger gasped and didn't dare to move, for fear of answering incorrectly, and being tortured by Yang Lian again.

"Why, you look down on me and refuse to talk to me?" Yang Lian laughed again and broke one of Ranger's fingers again.

The ranger screamed again, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

Emperor Zhou E reacted at this time, and when he saw Yang Lian's heart, he was overjoyed, and then his face darkened a little, what could he do? Some things are already doomed, and they can no longer be undone. Emperor Zhou E fell into deep thought for a while, but just looked ahead in a daze, until Yang Lian picked up Jiao Weiqin and stood in front of her.

"Ahh Zhou Ehuang reacted, and was suddenly a little at a loss.

"What's wrong, scared silly?" Yang Lian smiled.

Only then did Emperor Zhou E notice that the people around him had dispersed, and the ranger had disappeared, thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but be a little scared, if Yang Lian was late, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable. Looking at the broken Jiaoweiqin in Yang Lian's hand, Zhou Ehuang looked very distressed, stretched out his hand, and wanted to take the Jiaoweiqin, but accidentally touched the back of Yang Lian's hand, like an electric shock, Zhou Ehuang retracted his hand.

Yang Lian looked at the piano carefully, wrapped it in cloth first, sandwiched it under his armpit, and led the war horse with the other hand, and said, "Miss Zhou, I'll send you home." ”

Zhou Ehuang nodded, followed behind, looked at Yang Lian's tall back, felt very secure, and wanted to ask a sentence, but shrank in his throat, and didn't ask for half a sound.

"In the future, when you go to the street, you always have to bring a few people, can't you find a few reliable people in the dignified Situ Mansion?" Yang Lian said with a smile.

Zhou Ehuang's plump lips moved, but he didn't speak, Yang Lian stopped and looked at her seriously, under the long eyelashes, there were a pair of eyes that were a little flustered, Yang Lian thought she was scared silly, and still didn't come back to her senses.

Yang Lian suddenly leaned too close, Emperor Zhou E habitually took a step back, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and he hesitated, and was in a dilemma for a while.

Yang Lian straightened up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I'm scared stupid." ”

Zhou Ehuang's face suddenly turned red, his voice was almost inaudible, and he didn't know what he was talking about. By the time she raised her head, Yang Lian had already walked forward slowly. Emperor Zhou E followed two steps, followed behind him, and walked about twenty steps, Zhou Emperor asked "Yang Gongzi has been in trouble all over the city during this time, I thought something would happen, but now it seems that Yang Gongzi is safe and sound, and I am relieved." ”

Yang Lian smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal. ”

Emperor Zhou E pursed his lips, thought about it, seemed very hesitant, and finally said: "I've heard everything, King Yan said that you are that person, are you really that person?" ”

Yang Lian stopped, looked at her equally seriously, and said, "Does Miss Zhou think I'm that person?" ”

"Iβ€”I don't know, but I know you're a good person." Zhou Ehuang Road.

Yang Lian touched his nose and couldn't help laughing, is this the legendary good guy card?

Seeing Yang Lian smile like this, Zhou Ehuang was a little uneasy and asked, "I, am I wrong?" ”

Yang Lian shook his head and turned around, continuing to walk, but he was thinking in his heart, am I a good person? Perhaps, but can a good man kill so many people? Thinking of the countless corpses in Fuzhou City, Yang Lian had mixed emotions. Emperor Zhou E saw that he fell silent and felt that something must have happened to him.

"Young Master Yang, but there are twists and turns in the marriage with the princess?" Emperor Zhou E felt that this was very possible, after all, what happened a few days ago, ordinary people may not know, but as the daughter of Situ, Emperor Zhou E knows more or less.

Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing, but there is a military situation in the north, and these **** will go north to deal with the government affairs of Haichu and Chu Prefectures." ”

"Ah, you're leaving again?" Emperor Zhou E was taken aback.

"Yes, the state comes first." Yang Lian sighed.

Emperor Zhou E didn't speak, moved his steps, and then didn't say anything all the way, until Situ Mansion, Yang Lian held the Jiaowei Qin in his hand, handed it to Emperor Zhou E, and said: "Although this piano is a pity, the piano is just an auxiliary, don't worry too much." In the future, if I find a better piano, I will give it to Miss Zhou. ”

Emperor Zhou E took the Jiaowei piano and said, "I will definitely find a way to fix the piano." ”

Yang Lian smiled, turned around and was about to say goodbye, at this time, the door of Situ Mansion opened, Situ Zhouzong walked out, saw Yang Lian at a glance, immediately frowned, walked over quickly, and said, "Yang Lian, why don't you speak?" ”

"Daddy." Emperor Zhou E said in a low voice. glanced at Yang Lian apologetically.

"Emperor E, you go back first." Zhou Zong said.

Emperor Zhou E pursed her lips, a little unwilling, she still had some words to say, but her father's order was like a king's order, she had to listen, so she had to turn back while walking until she entered the door.

Yang Lian glanced at Zhou Zong, stepped on the war horse, and was about to leave, when Zhou Zong stopped him.

"Yang Jiedu, since Your Majesty has promised Princess Huairou to you, you have to pay attention, don't fight Emperor E's idea again, she wants to become the sixth imperial concubine." Zhou Zong said.

Yang Lian frowned, this Zhou Zong, is there something wrong? Gently clamp the horse's belly between your legs, ready to go.

Seeing that Yang Lian didn't speak, Zhou Zong sneered again and said, "Yang Jiedu, you have to pay attention to your identity in the future." ”

Yang Lian stopped, looked at Zhou Zong very seriously, laughed, and said, "Zhou Situ's words are wrong, what does it matter if a man has three wives and four concubines?" Maybe in the future, I will have to call Zhou Situ a father-in-law. After Yang Lian finished speaking, he patted the horse and left, never looking at Zhou Zong again.

Zhou Zongqi blew his beard, and wanted to say it again, Yang Lian had already gone away, so he had to stomp his feet and grit his teeth, at this time the sedan chair man came over with a sedan chair, Zhou Zong got off the sedan chair with a gloomy face, and the sedan chair ran towards the palace city, in the palace city, Li Jing had already put his mind at this time, Yang Lian's performance made him very satisfied, when the empire needed him, he would stand up, and he was loyal enough, such a person is hard to find, and he just has such a one, so Li Jing is very happy.

Gao Ze came in and told Zhou Situ to see him.

As soon as he thought of Zhou Zong, Li Jing remembered the events of that day, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart. But Zhou Zong must be an important minister, and Li Jing still decided to meet him. After Zhou Zong came in, he gave a salute, and Li Jing gave him a seat. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and talked about the recent weather problems.

A gentleman and a minister chatted very harmoniously, talking about the situation in the Tang Dynasty, recently Ma Xicao frequently sent people to the Tang Dynasty to contact, the latest meaning, is to ask the Tang Dynasty for troops, eliminate his brother Ma Xiguang, and seize the position of the monarch of the Chu State, in fact, the internal turmoil in Chu is good for the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing is very concerned, however, because the Tang Dynasty has also moved troops very hard in recent years, and the food loss is huge, so Li Jing is still hesitating.

Zhou Zong has been out for many years, has stayed on the border, and has some understanding of the Chu State, the Ma family is actually not united in the Chu State, as early as last year, Ma Xicao once led troops to attack Tanzhou, but was defeated by Ma Xiguang, but Ma Xiguang made a mistake, he did not send troops to continue the pursuit, but thought that Ma Xicao was his brother, so he let him go.

However, Ma Xicao's thief heart did not die, and he also sent people to contact the Central Plains, hoping that the Han State could send troops to support, but the Han State was newly built, and it was impossible to go south.

Zhou Zong gave a suggestion, you can pretend to promise to borrow troops to attack Tanzhou, and even Chen soldiers on the border, of course, in order not to attract Ma Xiguang's attention, but to suppress the bandits, at the same time, it also strengthened Ma Xixu's determination. If Ma Xicao attacked Tanzhou, the state of Chu would inevitably fall into civil strife, and when the Ma brothers were exhausted, the Tang Dynasty could take the opportunity to send troops, take the vast Chu land, master the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and prepare for the capture of Nanping and Southern Han in the future.

Li Jing deeply believes that this suggestion is in the interests of Datang, and it seems that it does not take much effort. Li Jing was very happy, and the two chatted for a while, and Zhou Zong suddenly asked about Yang Lian's marriage. Zhou Zong naturally had a deep meaning, but Li Jing thought that he was caring, so he told Yang Lian that he had decided to go north to deal with the military and political affairs first.

Zhou Zong listened, stroked his beard, and said half-loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter between Yang Jiedu and Princess Huairou should be done as soon as possible." ”

Li Jun didn't understand why Zhou Zong said this, after all, Princess Huairou is not too old, and it is okay to wait for another two years, and after a deep groan, Zhou Zong spoke again.

"Your Majesty, although the matter of Princess Huairou is a royal matter, but Weichen heard that Yang Lian seems to have a wife who has not passed through the door?"

This matter is Li Jun's heart disease, Yang Lian is good at everything, but he is too stubborn, and he does not give in to some things at all, even in the face of imperial power, he is very resolute, he was determined to marry Zeng Yiling, who has not passed the door, and what is resolutely not Chen Shimei, who is Chen Shimei, Li Jun is full of poetry and books, and he didn't figure out who Chen Shimei is after thinking about it for a long time.

Yang Lian insisted, but Princess Huairou had a deep love for him, and Li Jun, who felt sorry for her niece, had to agree, but how could the royal princess be a concubine? Besides, Zeng Yiling is just a fireworks woman, how can she suppress Princess Huairou?

However, Yang Lian has not officially married Zeng Yiling so far, which makes Li Jian feel a little comforted, as for Fu Jinzhan, Li Jian still thinks that she is just a maid, and she doesn't care at all.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was silent, but his face was depressed, Zhou Zong couldn't help but snicker in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, this man's three wives and four concubines are the most normal, since Yang Lian didn't marry the princess, you might as well marry that woman to Yang Lian first-of course, it's as a concubine." Yang Lian received such a great favor, and he will inevitably cherish Princess Huairou in the future, and he will not go out to hook up. ”

Li Yan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "He dare?!" Although he said that, Li Wei fell into deep thought, that Zeng Yiling was originally Yang Lian's fiancΓ©e, and looking at Yang Lian's appearance, he would inevitably marry her in the future, so it also meant that Duke Huairou mainly shared the same man with that woman.

Of course, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in these years, but Princess Huairou's special identity is destined to Yang Lian not to marry more women, if he agrees to marry Yang Lian and Zeng Yiling, then it will not only fulfill Yang Lian, but also make him grateful, showing the generosity of the Son of Heaven, and he will definitely not mess with flowers and grass in the future - although with Li Jun's understanding of Yang Lian, he is not such a person. The Zeng Yiling who was redeemed by him is still a virgin, which is enough to prove it.

Li Jun paced for a while, and finally nodded and said with a smile: "That's a good idea!" ”

Zhou Zong also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

"But don't be in a hurry about this matter, when he returns to Chuzhou, I will issue another order and give Zeng Yiling to him." Li Jun said. His abacus is very clear, even if Yang Lian holds a banquet in Chuzhou, his influence will be much worse, and when he marries Princess Huairou, Li Jian will handle it well, and this difference will come out, and it will also make Yang Lian understand who is his wife.

Zhou Zong's goal was achieved, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and from this aspect, Yang Lian's thoughts about Emperor Zhou E were eliminated, and his daughter could marry the six princes with peace of mind, and he Zhou Zong became a relative of the emperor.

Yang Lian returned home, called Wang Hu, Zhao Peng and others, asked them to prepare their luggage, and went north to Chuzhou two days later, everyone obeyed the order and dispersed.

Fu Jinzhan is a little strange, His Majesty is already preparing to let Yang Lian marry Princess Huairou, why do you want to go north again?

Yang Lian explained, and Fu Jinzhan understood the reason, but she felt that it was impossible to go north and pacify the bandits in various parts of the Han Kingdom. If Liu Chengyou had this idea, it would have been done last time, where would it be useful to wait until now?

But defending Haichu and Chu Prefectures is a big deal, Fu Jinzhan supports Yang Lian to go north as soon as possible, only by firmly grasping the military power, can he have the right to speak in the troubled times, and can he defend his family.

Yang Mansion quickly got busy, and Yang Lian also asked Li Xiongxin to purchase a batch of tea and prepare to take it to Chuzhou for sale, which was another wealth.

Yang Lian was almost ready, and it took a while to enter the palace and tell the Son of Heaven the time to go north.

Li Jun was quite satisfied with Yang Lian's speed, and after praising him, he told him that he had already placed a paperwork and asked the docks in Datang to send the best shipwrights to Jinling in the shortest possible time. After all the shipwrights gathered, they were sent to Haizhou.

Yang Lian thanked the Son of Heaven, the two chatted for a while, and Li Jun told him that this year's salt must be delivered on time, otherwise Li Jun will take back the salt works in Chuzhou.

Yang Lian nodded, now Chuzhou is still boiling salt, and it takes too long. He originally wanted to improve the way he worked, but he was too busy in Chuzhou and had not had time to integrate the salt farm, Li Jun's reminder made him react, now that the weather is getting warmer, it is a good time to boil salt, and when he returns to Chuzhou, he will make salt in large quantities.

After Yang Lian left. Li Jun called Gao Ze and whispered before leaving.

Yang Lian took a turn in the imperial city, greeted Pan Chengyou, Liu Yanzhen and others, and held a banquet in Yang's Mansion today to drink with everyone. Everyone who received the invitation nodded in agreement, indicating that they would definitely go to the banquet on time.

Yang Lian left the imperial city satisfied, the people invited today are civil and military, he intends to unite these people to his side through various situations, especially the military generals who control the military power, with their help, Yang Lian can go further and grasp more rights, as for Wenchen, he will help in public opinion.

Now his strength is not enough, so he must lay a good foundation first, and then he can be used by Yang Lian in the future. (To be continued.) )
