Chapter Seventy-Two: Hoarding

Yang Lian walked out of the palace and breathed a long sigh of relief, although today's events were somewhat expected, he couldn't imagine that Li Hongji would use such a poisonous trick, even if the infant child was not a descendant of the Yang family, he couldn't do it, and he really couldn't kill such a child.

Fortunately, Mi Shiwei found the person who spread the news through open investigation and secret visits, and Yang Lian threw him out in time to reverse the situation.

While Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little worried, what was in front of him now was that his life was still in the hands of others all the time, and he could be imprisoned or even poisoned at any time, just like back then. Since Yang Lian was reborn, he would not repeat the mistakes of the past, he needed to grasp more rights as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to return to his hometown, which was to retreat.

Yang Lian is waiting, what kind of compensation will the Son of Heaven give him, and what kind of punishment will King Yan receive?

After returning to Yang's mansion, Yang Lian simply told Fu Jinzhan and Zeng Yiling about the matter, and then hid in the mansion, or read military books, or looked at the geography of the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, and never forgot to enrich himself.

After waiting for five or six days, there was no news from the imperial city, but there was news from the Honglu Temple, and Wu Yueguo sent a messenger to Jinling, intending to redeem Hu Qing.

Speaking of which, the Tang Dynasty and its predecessor Yang Wu rarely killed prisoners with Wu Yueguo, and most of the time they exchanged prisoners of war, which was quite special in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Hu Qing will be sent back to Wu Yue sooner or later, the key is what kind of agreement the two sides can reach, Yang Lian is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, so he will not care about him, occasionally there are visiting robes Ze talking about this matter, Yang Lian just smiled.

Yang Lian said that he didn't want to enter the office again, Qi Wang, Pan Chengyou and others were quite nervous, and asked several times when they visited, but Yang Lian smiled and did not answer.

After waiting for a few more days, Huangfu Hui also came, and brought his son Huangfu Jixun, in addition to gifts. For Yang Lian, Huang Fuhui has an indescribable feeling, this is not only that Yang Lian successfully arrested the group of thieves in Chuzhou, Huang Fuhui feels that Yang Lian will have a brighter future.

Huang Fuhui came to visit, Yang Lian also had the intention of making friends, set up a banquet to entertain, the wine and food had just been served, Wang Hu came to report, saying that Liu Yanzhen was here.

After Liu Yanzhen came back from Chuzhou, the Son of Heaven put him in charge of the Praetorian Guard, although he didn't make as much money as before, but under Yang Lian's advice, he was quite trusted.

Liu Yanzhen chose to come over at this time, and she also thought about it, now Yang Lian seems to be at home, but the crisis has been resolved, and it is time to exchange feelings with Yang Lian. Liu Yanzhen brought a few pots of good wine, which are said to have been left for many years, and when the lid is opened, the taste is rich.

With Liu Yanzhen's joining, everyone became more and more interested in drinking, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Yanzhen and Huang Fuhui left.

Yang Lian asked people to clean up their things, and let people make a pot of tea to relieve hangover, the breeze blew in the evening, the leaves rattled, Yang Lian sat in the pavilion, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and his thoughts were a little erratic.

While drinking tea, I thought about the experience of this world, like a dream.

After Yang Lian drank a pot of tea, his drunkenness decreased slightly, and at this time, Wang Hu hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice: "Master, there are guests who ask to see you." ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "What day is today, so many people are coming?" ”

Wang Hu whispered and said, "It's from Wu Yue." ”

Yang Lian shook his head, he was interested, although he drank wine, the alcohol in this era was not high, and he was not intoxicating when he drank it, at least Yang Lian was so.

Wu Yuelai people, this is worth playing, whether Hu Jinsi sent someone over or the Qian family sent someone over, there is a difference. Yang Lian thought about it and asked Wang Hu to be careful and bring the man to the study.

Wang Hu took the order and left, and Yang Lian slowly paced towards the study.

Sitting down in the study and waiting for a while, Wang Hu brought people in, then retreated and stood at the door.

Yang Lian looked at this person carefully, and only after half a sound did he ask, "Who sent you?" ”

"Yang Jiedu, I am Qian Jiedu's envoy." As he spoke, the man took out a wax pill from his arms and handed it to Yang Lian.

Yang Lian took the wax pill and crushed it vigorously, inside was a book, which was written very simply, but it expressed his heart.

Qian Wenfeng sent this person to mean that he wanted Datang not to release Hu Qing, Hu Jinsi was already old and couldn't survive for many years, if he knew that his son's life was not guaranteed, and Datang was unwilling to let him go, he would definitely be worried, with his body, it would be easy to fall ill.

Of course, Qian Wenfeng also knew that this request was not in the interests of Datang, so he expressed his willingness to offer one million stone grain and 100 pearls.

Yang Lian pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you make all the decisions on behalf of the Zhongwu Jiedu Envoy?" ”

"Yes, before leaving, the festival envoy has authorization." The man replied.

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and smiled, then this person should not be simple, at least Qian Wenfeng's henchman.

Yang Lian said: "Frankly speaking, I'm just a festival envoy, not enough to influence the Tang Dynasty to make decisions, Qian Jiedu is very unwise to put his hope on me." ”

Wu Yueren hurriedly arched his hand, Shi Li said: "Yang Jiedu has a great reputation in the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid everyone knows it, and I heard that Yang Jiedu is going to marry Princess Huairou, which shows that Yang Jiedu is not an ordinary person in the mind of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Yang Lian laughed and said, "But I don't know a little, letting Hu Qing go seems to be more in the interests of Datang, why don't I let him go?" ”

"If Yang Jiedu facilitates this, my master will say it, and I will be grateful." Wu Yueren said.

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "I can't look down on a million stone of grain at all, and a hundred pearls are comparable to the benefits of boiling salt in Haichu and Haichu Prefectures?" Besides, for the sake of petty profits, wouldn't it be worth the loss for me to be charged with betraying the country? ”

Yang Lian's refusal was expected by this person, in his opinion, Yang Lian was not a member of the Li Tang royal family, besides, even if it was, in the face of huge interests, no one would do anything to betray the country? Wu Yueren smiled, took out a wax pill from the close-fitting placket, opened it the same, handed it to Yang Lian, and said with a smile: "Yang Jiedu, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is Qian Jiedu's condition, please read it again." ”

Yang Lian didn't speak, took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and was very surprised in his heart, this Qian Wenfeng was really willing. However, this was useless in Yang Lian's opinion, and Qian Wenfeng expressed his willingness to assign Kunshan County, located east of Suzhou, to Yang Lian as his private fief. In the area of Suzhou, there are Taihu Lake and canal irrigation, Changshu is the land of fish and rice, with a county, I dare not say that the wealth is comparable to the country, but with it, it is passed on to the children and grandchildren, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

Although this temptation is very big, Yang Lian is not willing to ask for it at all, which means that there is a handle in the hands of Wu Yueren, and in the future, Qian Wenfeng only needs to use a little trick, and Yang Lian will be ruined in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Lian laughed, although Kunshan is rich, it can't satisfy Yang Lian's ambitions, how can people who aspire to win the world be attracted by the interests of a county?

Wu Yueren saw Yang Lian laughing, but his face remained unchanged, and when Yang Lian finished laughing, he sighed and said, "In this way, Yang Jiedu is not satisfied." ”

Yang Lian snorted coldly and said, "I originally thought that Qian Jiedu had followed his father for many years and naturally had some insight, but I couldn't think of his current moves, which is really ridiculous." ”

Wu Yueren smiled, did not deny or admit it, looked at Yang Lian's disdainful expression, and said: "Yang Jiedu is angry, my master said, if Yang Jiedu still doesn't accept it, there is another plan." ”

"I want to hear about it!" Yang Lian said, he was interested at this time, what the hell is Qian Wenfeng going to mess with?

Wu Yueren pondered for a moment and whispered, Yang Lian couldn't help but look sideways, this time Qian Wenfeng's conditions were obviously more sincere.

He decided to give Yang Lian 500 catties of oil (oil) as a reward, in addition, there were 500,000 stone grains, 100 pearls, 200 pieces of fine Su embroidery, and so on.

Such conditions are obviously more generous than the first time, and more reliable than the second one, and Qian Wenfeng's requirements have also changed: he does not ask Datang not to let Hu Qing go, but hopes to keep Hu Qing in Datang for at least half a year.

Yang Lian understands that in the past six months, Qian Wenfeng will find a way to seize power from Hu Jinsi, and as for whether he can achieve this goal, Yang Lian can't care.

Yang Lian thought about it, he could still accept this condition, but it was still the same sentence, he could only knock on the side and try his best to convince the Son of Heaven, as for whether it would succeed or not, it depended on the will of God. Moreover, even if it fails, this huge wealth, the envoy of Zhongwu Jie still has to give it.

Wu Yueren hesitated a little, Yang Lian was obviously asking for a price from the ground, and the matter may not be completed, if he really couldn't convince the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't this money be given to Yang Lian in vain?

Wu Yueren's hesitation Yang Lian saw it in his eyes, he didn't have time to talk to Wu Yueren, waved his hand and asked Wang Hu to take him out, and he thought about coming again.

Wu Yueren did not dare to make a decision, and after retreating, he quickly wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Suzhou to ask Qian Wen for instructions.

Yang Lian talked with Wu Yueren for a while, and felt a little tired, and was about to wash up and sleep when he went back to the house, and appeared in front of him alone.

"I didn't think you had the potential to be a profiteer." Mi Shiwei smiled faintly, with a sarcastic expression.

"Thank you, Miss Mi, for the compliment." Yang Lian smiled, obviously, she heard Yang Lian's words just now, which made Yang Lian feel that the Yang Mansion was very unsafe.

Seeing Yang Lian's faceless agreement, Mi Shiwei thought this was a compliment, and couldn't help pursing her rosy lips, this person is too shameless.

Yang Lian saw her pondering and asked, "Miss Mi, I've been busy all day and want to sleep, do you have anything to do?" ”

Mi Shiwei was stunned for a moment, Yang Lian has changed a little bit recently, it seems to be a lot more serious, she suddenly remembered the purpose here, and hurriedly said: "Do you know that the Emperor of the Han State is going to let Guo Wei lead the troops?" ”

Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, Guo Wei wanted to lead the troops, and he must be going to pacify Li Shouzhen in the river, which means that the war in the river has been delayed for a long time, and Liu Chengyou is worried about the war, so he has to use Guo Wei to solve Li Shouzhen.

"It is said that Guo Wei's adopted son Guo Rong bribed the left and right henchmen of the Emperor of the Han State with money, and the war in the river was unfavorable, Guo Wei did have some ability to lead the troops, and finally enabled Guo Wei." Mi Shiwei added.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "This matter is extremely secretive, how did you know about it?" ”

"It's a secret, you just need to know about it." Mi Shiwei said, holding the sword in her hand, and turned around and disappeared into the night.

Yang Lian shook his head, sighed, went back to the house to wash and sleep. (To be continued.) )
