This battle in the court, although it is said that there are no sword soldiers, but the degree of thrilling is no less than a battle, and even more tense. In this fight, the peace faction led by Han Hee-jae, Seo Hyun and others failed and ended. The party struggle has come to an end for the time being, and the court seems to be calm, but in fact, on top of this calm, how many undercurrents are flowing?

Yang Lian didn't know, but one thing he was sure of was that Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others would definitely not give up, if Feng Yanlu sent troops to win this time, it would be fine, if he lost, he would become a mouthful and be attacked by political enemies.

Ignoring these things, Yang Lian's inn is almost decorated with a wine shop, taking advantage of Mu Xiu, Yang Lian plans to find an opportunity to open grandly. Wang Hu and Zhao Peng are also haggard, as for Li Xiongxin, Li Shu's father and son, after observation, their performance is acceptable, Li Shu has been concentrating on studying hard recently, and he has never gone to the gambling house again, which is a good sign, Yang Lian does not want to hire a bookkeeper with the attributes of a gambler.

In addition to the happy events in the inn, the relationship with Chen Tie and Lin Renzhao seems to have improved further with that battle, and the three of them often call each other brothers, especially Chen Tie, although he likes violence, but he is indeed an upright man, as long as he is good to him, he will be good to you.

Although the intersection is good, the secrets hidden in the hearts are not told to each other. As we enter September, the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are falling. These days, the county lord of Huairou has not come to Yang Lian, so that Yang Lian has no worries for the time being, this little pepper is acting strangely, it is best not to mess with it.

On September 15, after a period of preparation, Yang Lian's inn and wine shop were all rebuilt, Yang Lian checked for two days, and was satisfied with the acceptance of Xiao Erhei, so he decided to open.

So it took more than a dozen dollars to let people print thousands of leaflets, which said that Yang's Inn was clean and comfortable, Yang's Restaurant was of good quality and low price, three days before opening, 5% off big rewards, etc., everyone was welcome to taste. He hired more than 30 poor, well-dressed young men who were worth ten cents a day, gave them slogans, and asked them to distribute leaflets in the streets.

A beautifully decorated carriage slowly moved down the street, and Li Hongji sat in the carriage, feeling a little unhappy. This controversy in the imperial court ended in his defeat, but Song Qiqiu and Feng Yanji succeeded in persuading their father to send troops to Fujian to seize Fuzhou.

In the Changzhou area, although it was not the focus of the operation, there were also 20,000 additional troops to prevent Qian Wenfeng of Wu Yue from sending troops. Things were not under Li Hongji's control, or rather, they did not develop as Li Hongji expected, which made him very frustrated. Defeating the Song and Feng parties knocked out the minions of the King of Qi in the court, which was Li Hongji's goal, but unfortunately it was not achieved.

However, King Qi also has his weaknesses, he likes literature, and is very close to literary masters such as Song Qiqiu and Feng Yanji, and he has influence in the court, but in terms of military and political affairs, King Qi has almost no strength. Although Li Hongji is young, he has served as a festival envoy in Xuanzhou, Runzhou and other places, has a certain right to speak in the army, and has also met a lot of soldiers, which is incomparable to the King of Qi.

Li Hongji took the carriage to go out of the city to Xuanwu Lake to relax, but at this time, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly.

"What's going on?" Li Hongji was furious, he was caught off guard for a moment, and almost kowtowed his forehead.

A personal soldier approached and said, "Major General, a teenager suddenly broke out." ”

Li Hongji snorted coldly and said, "What boy?" ”

"Holding something in his hand, he kept shouting, as if some restaurant was opening." The pro-soldier replied.

Li Hongji waved his hand and said, "I don't know whether I live or die, drive him away." After thinking about it, he felt a little hungry again, and said, "Let's go and have a look, get something to eat before leaving." ”

On the edge of the Qinhuai River, Yang Lian was dressed in a red robe with a happy face, and today he asked for leave to preside over the opening ceremony. At the door of the inn and restaurant, couplets have been pasted, and firecrackers have been hung, just waiting for the time to come. Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie have already arrived, and the gifts they brought are not much, but they are a heart.

The neighborhood is crowded with streets, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk, and many people stop to watch.

When Li Hongji's carriage was still more than 500 steps away from the restaurant, it could no longer move forward, and after thinking about it, he left someone to take care of it and took a few personal soldiers to check. From afar, you can see the eight big characters of "Yang's Inn" and "Yang's Restaurant", which are shining brightly, and they are actually gilded plaques.

Li Hongji glanced at it, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this handwriting is too familiar, in order to see it carefully, he led his troops and walked more than 20 steps, and he got closer, so he could see clearly, the handwriting of the mortal enemy King Qi. Could it be that the owner of this inn has something to do with King Qi?

Just in confusion, Li Hongji saw the owner of the inn, and saw that he was dressed in a red robe and was talking to a few people. When he saw the faces of those people clearly, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Those faces are so familiar that even if they haven't seen them for more than a month, it is impossible for Li Hongji to forget them.

Li Hongji has been busy with the court battle these days, and temporarily gave up the pursuit of Yang Lian, and when he thought about it at this time, he suddenly hated it. Especially this person has something to do with King Qi, and Li Hongji feels even more unhappy.

At this moment, someone shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived." ”

With the sound, the crowd cracked, and King Qi rode a war horse, followed by the mischievous girl, and walked out with a proud face.

"Sooner or later, I want you to look good!" Li Hongji clenched his fists, although his father had sworn in front of the Liezu Zigong Palace, saying that he wanted his brother to die as his brother, and it had nothing to do with Li Jingsui, but in Li Hongji's heart, it was Li Jingsui who made his father delay the establishment of the crown prince, and even, he, the eldest son of the emperor, was only a duke, and the meaning of suppression was already very obvious, whether it was power or the use of the palace, it was much less, how could it not make Li Hongji resentful in his heart.

Yang Lian was talking to Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others, and when he heard that King Qi was coming, he took the lead and walked out, and said loudly: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

Li Jing, the king of Qi, turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Yang Lian, I heard that your new store is opening today, and this king is here to congratulate you, wishing you a prosperous business and making money every day." ”

As he spoke, dozens of people behind him, either picking or lifting, came over with a lot of things.

Yang Lian hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is so generous, how dare Yang Lian accept it." ”

"You don't have to be polite. You deserve it. Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said with a smile, and the meaning of his words was already very clear.

Yang Lian smiled, and he didn't shirk anymore, otherwise it would be hypocritical: "Thank you King Qi, please inside!" As he spoke, he personally brought Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, into the store.

Although the inn is not ornately decorated, it is extremely clean and tidy, and the layout is very reasonable. Li Jingsui took a look, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, it's really good." ”

Lord Huairou nodded and said, "I can't see it, you have some vision." ”

"King Qi, please take a seat." Yang Lian said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Li Jingsui agreed, and he was not polite, and sat directly in the first place.

Xiao Erhei hurriedly brought the best tea leaves and made a pot of hot tea. Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie also walked up and said, "Lin Renzhao (Chen Tie) of the Weichen Shenwu Army has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”

"You two are also members of the Shenwu Army?" Li Jingsui said with a smile, Yang Lian had friends when he first arrived in Jinling, which was the happiest thing for him.

"Exactly, Weichen and the others are all under the account of Commander Zhou." Lin Renzhao said.

"Commander Zhou? But Zhou Hongzuo? Li Jingsui asked again.

"It's him." Lin replied.

Li Jingsui narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie, both of whom were burly people, especially Lin Renzhao, who was a talent, which made people like it very much.

Lin Renzhao saw Li Jingsui staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, what's wrong with His Royal Highness King Qi, staring at himself, does he have a dragon impotence? Thinking of this, Lin Renzhao couldn't help but fight a cold war. Li Jingsui had a different idea, he wanted to take Yang Lian for his own use, but it was inconvenient to put it forward directly, now Yang Lian has made a few good friends, if he wins over Yang Lian in the future, it will be equivalent to winning over these two people.

Lin Renzhao didn't know what he thought, he scared himself, and he felt ridiculous when he thought about it.

"King Qi is here, Yang's Inn is really full of brilliance, this ribbon-cutting ceremony, I hope King Qi will preside over it." Yang Lian said with a smile.

"Ribbon cutting?" Li Jingsui couldn't help but be stunned, although on the day of the beginning of spring, there is a custom of cutting the ribbon for the eagle and wearing it on the head, but when it opened, why did the ribbon cut?

Yang Lian said with a smile: "It's just a lottery head, I hope business will prosper." As he spoke, he explained.

Li Jing nodded again and again and said, "This makes it." He immediately stood up. The county lord of Huairou pouted and followed behind, a little displeased, why didn't he ask me to cut the ribbon?

A few people stood at the gate, Yang Lian looked at the time, there was still half a pillar of incense, it was a good day, and he chatted with Li Jingsui first. Li Hongji in the distance did not leave, but looked at all this coldly, in his heart, Yang Lian was the party of King Qi and had to be guarded against.

After thinking about it again, Li Hongji called his own soldiers and asked him to inquire about Yang Lian's news, where is this person from, why did he come to Jinling, and how did he get acquainted with King Qi? The soldiers took the order and went away and blended into the crowd to inquire.

Yang Lian chatted with Li Jingsui for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, and was about to give the order to go down, suddenly, a woman dressed in white, wearing a hat on her head, and a tassel covering her face, behind her, several women followed, holding a box in their hands, and walked over gracefully.

"Yang Gongzi opened such a big thing, why didn't he notify the concubine?" The person who came was the top brand of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zeng Yiling, I saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, and under the seemingly dissatisfied expression, it made people's hearts pound, Li Hongji in the distance saw this scene, and couldn't help clenching his fists, how did these people meet together?
