"Dad, this time I waited to escort King Cai to Jinling, the responsibility is heavy, and the child is a little unknown." While eating, Zhao Kuangyin asked in a low voice.

Zhao Hongyin put down his chopsticks, he still liked the second son, nodded immediately, and said, "Where is it unknown?" ”

"Dad, we came to Jinling, it's only been two days, and we didn't live in Honglu Temple, we want to find out about the situation of Datang, but why did Dad just say that we have been in Jinling for a few days?" Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled.

Zhao Kuangyi on the side also put down his chopsticks and pricked up his ears to listen.

"Alas!" Zhao Hongyin first sighed and said: "We came by order, although we want to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the domestic situation, but the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Central Plains Dynasty has always been poor, if we blindly show weakness, how can we achieve our goal?" What he said just now was nothing more than a test of that man. Pity. ”

"What a pity?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"It's a pity that the man doesn't seem to know the situation, according to the father's inference, although the man knows the county lord, I'm afraid he doesn't have much say in the court." Zhao Hongyin said.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Dad, what I have seen in the past two days has made a deep impression on the child. Most of the southerners are weak and have nothing to worry about. The so-called Datang is just a few states, and the child heard that a few days ago, the Tang Dynasty was defeated by the Wuyue people, which shows that the Datang people are no longer as brave as they used to be. ”

Zhao Hongyin nodded, but still said: "Yuen Long, although the southerners are cowardly, there are countless heroes in the world, and they are still not to be underestimated. The man I see today, from the current point of view, although he has no rights, if he is given a chance, I am afraid that with his character, he will become a fierce enemy in the future. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded very seriously and said, "Father's teachings, children remember." ”

Zhao Hongyin looked at the third son on the side again, and said: "Kuangyi, Jinling is the capital of the Tang Dynasty after all, and we are here because we have important matters, and we must not waste the business because of the love of our children." ”

Zhao Kuangyi's face turned red, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Dad, keep in mind, child." ”

Yang Lian took the two daughters to lunch, and wandered around the street again, now Yang Lian has a deep understanding of the history of Jinling, such as the origin of Xuanwu Lake, such as the development process of Jinling's history, although the lord of Huairou County does not like to listen to these things, but Zhou Ehuang himself is proficient in music and rhythm, and he likes history more, so he actually listens to it with relish.

The sun is setting in the west, Yang Lian first sent the county lord of Huairou home, the county lord of Huairou was a little unhappy, obviously Yang Lian was going out to play with him, how did he feel that Yang Lian was accompanying Zhou Ehuang? With a matter on his mind, the county lord of Huairou returned to the Qi Palace.

The depression of the county lord of Huairou was not mentioned, and Yang Lian saw that it was not early, so he escorted Emperor Zhou E home. When he was about to arrive at the Zhou Mansion, Yang Lian smiled slightly and said, "Emperor E, can you close your eyes?" ”

Emperor Zhou E was stunned for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes, his heart beat violently, his body was clenched, his body was stiff, and he looked nervous.

Yang Lian looked at her cuteness, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, and smiled slightly, Zhou Ehuang was willing to close his eyes, which was enough to trust him. Yang Lian took out a rather beautiful necklace from his arms and put it on for Emperor Zhou E.

Emperor Zhou E only felt a **** in his ears, and wanted to open his eyes, but he remembered Yang Lian's words, and out of trust in him, he didn't open his eyes.

The feeling quickly disappeared, and then the footsteps sounded, Yang Lian took a few steps back, looked at Zhou Ehuang, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful." ”

Emperor Zhou E's face turned crimson instantly, he opened his eyes suddenly, glared at Yang Lian, and said, "You, you ......"

"I mean necklaces." Yang Lian smiled and pointed at Zhou Ehuang's neck.

Emperor Zhou E lowered his head and saw a necklace with a faint blue color hanging on the white and flawless pink neck, the necklace was not known what to make of, the faint blue light was very good-looking, Zhou Ehuang liked it at a glance, stretched out his hand and put the blue bead in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, in the blue bead, you can also see a figure shaking.

"Do you like it?" Yang Lian asked, he didn't expect that in which Hu people's shop, this kind of thing could be found, in fact, it was glass fired by the Persians, and China was not impossible to make, but due to various reasons, pottery and porcelain were used more later, so the glass process seemed to be very backward.

Emperor Zhou E nodded again and again and said, "I like it." As she spoke, she suddenly realized something, put down the necklace, lowered her head slightly, saluted Yang Lian, and said, "Thank you Yang Gongzi." ”

"Emperor E doesn't have to be so outside, there are still interesting and beautiful things in the future, I will definitely keep them for you." Yang Lian said with a smile.

Emperor Zhou E was about to nod, but suddenly stopped again and said, "Young Master Yang, I want to be able to play a piece made by Gongzi more than these things." ”

Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, and the love in Zhou Ehuang's eyes dimmed, and said: "When I first listened to the Gong's song, Emperor E'e thought that with the talent of the son, he would definitely be able to shock the world. The song "Rain Breaks Jiangnan" is poignant and earnest, which is in line with the mood of a woman like Zhou Ehuang, and it impresses her deeply.

"However, Emperor E doesn't understand, Gongzi has a talent to learn, why does he want to be that martial artist?" Emperor Zhou E said cautiously, and at the same time looked at Yang Lian's face, afraid that he would be angry.

Yang Lian sighed slightly, and said: "Emperor E, if it is not peaceful today, around the Tang Dynasty, there are still Han, Wu Yue, Chu, Southern Han and other countries eyeing each other, and a few days ago, they were defeated by Wu Yueguo. If everyone recites poetry against each other and does not join the army, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed by other countries sooner or later. In addition to the rise and fall of the country, it is the responsibility of the husband, I, Yang Lian, also want to protect my family, my wife, I must not let them be bullied. ”

"Like, like today?" Emperor Zhou E said it silently, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around and hurriedly left.

Yang Lian looked at her back, smiled slightly, watched her knock on the door, entered, and then slowly walked back. Not long after Yang Lian left, the door behind him was opened again, Zhou Ehuang showed his head, looking at Yang Lian's departing back, she covered her towering chest with her hands, and only felt that her heart was beating violently.

Just now, what the hell happened? Perhaps, like him, who can protect his wife and children, is a good man, Yang Lian of Yunwen Yunwu, who has the blessing to marry him? Thinking of this, Zhou Ehuang felt that his face was a little hot, so he hurriedly closed the door and hurried back to the house.

Yang Lian returned to the inn, found Lin Renzhao, and talked to him about today's events, Lin Renzhao was also slightly surprised when he heard that the envoy of the Han Kingdom had arrived.

Yang Lian thought it was inappropriate, the Han Dynasty had just been established, the foundation was unstable, and there were unruly Jiedu envoys everywhere, Liu Zhiyuan was afraid that the Jiedu envoys from all over the country would collude with the Tang Dynasty and endanger his Jiangshan Sheji, so he sent people to Jinling for peace talks. It should be said that the Han State was relatively weak.

Because in terms of interests, Yang Lian feels that this is almost nothing for Datang. is still the old saying, Jinling should take advantage of this time to attack and recover Shandong, so as to peek into the Central Plains and Hebei, but Li Jing didn't listen, and Yang Lian was soft-spoken, which was not enough to turn the situation around.

I don't know who His Majesty will send to preside over this peace talks? It stands to reason that with the hegemony of the Han State, the Tang Dynasty must send a high-ranking official to be qualified to negotiate peace with Liu Xin, the king of Cai, and as for the officials of Honglu Temple, the qualifications are not enough.

Soon the news came out, the new prime minister Sun Sheng presided over the peace talks with King Cai, Sun Sheng also knew that this matter was very important, and he had enough spirit to negotiate peace with King Cai Liu Xin, Sun Sheng according to His Majesty's intentions, is to be on an equal footing with the Han State, the emperor of the Han State is the emperor, is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty not the emperor? This was the case with the Jin State back then, and in front of the Han Kingdom, it was impossible to lose face.

But Liu Xin is a little barbaric, saying that the Central Plains Dynasty has always been the right thing in the world, although the Tang Dynasty has a name and claims to be a descendant of Li Tang, but in fact, it sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, which has nothing to do with the so-called Li Tang at all, otherwise why did Liezu build the country in the first place? Besides, Liezu's surname was Xu, not Li.

Sun Sheng tried to explain to Liu Xin, but Liu Xin ignored his set at all, and clung to these few words, so that the negotiations could not go on at all. Moreover, Liu Xin's request was too much, and he even asked Datang to provide 10,000 quintals of tea every year, with millions of money, which Sun Sheng could not accept.

This kind of negotiation lasted for three days, although Sun Sheng had a stubborn personality and did not back down at all in the face of the strong Liu Xin, but Xiucai met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable to explain, the negotiations between the two made no progress at all, and the daily negotiations were basically quarrels, Sun Sheng was really heartbroken.

Li Hongji also paid attention to Sun Sheng and asked him to threaten Liu Xin, but before Sun Sheng finished speaking, Liu Xin stood up with a few cases and claimed that he would return to Bianliang and unite Wu Yueguo to send troops to Jinling, and the two families would divide the Tang Dynasty. Sun Sheng was very depressed, and he was helpless, so he could only tell His Majesty Li Jing about it.

Li Jing also felt a headache, and he didn't sleep well for a few days, how to deal with the relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty was really a headache. But the thing that made Li Jun even more troublesome soon came, because the Khitans also came with news that they would arrive in Jinling in the near future.

In Li Jun's view, the Khitans are the wolves on the grassland, and they can never be fed. However, because Datang and Khitan do not have a bordering relationship, there is not much conflict of interest, so they can choose to cooperate. However, in front of the powerful King Cai, Sun Sheng couldn't bargain at all, so he couldn't continue to drag this matter on. Once the Khitans came, I am afraid that the negotiations with the Han State would be even more difficult.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty can use the Khitans to threaten the Han State, but everyone knows that the Khitans are barbarians, and Li Jing does not dare to pin all his hopes on the Khitans.

Wu Yue people have always been in the Central Plains Dynasty as the Zhengshuo, and the era names are all used in the Central Plains Imperial Court. As early as when Zhu Wen established the Liang State, Wu Yue people defected early and became a dog in the Central Plains court, and he would bite whoever the master told him to bite.

Later, the Liang State became the Tang State, and the Tang State became the Jin State, and the Wu Yue people still chose to be loyal to the Central Plains Court, and now the Central Plains Court has become the Han State, don't think about it, Wu Yue people must have become a dog next to Liu Zhiyuan, and they may bite at any time. If the Han State really united with Wu Yueguo to attack the Tang Dynasty, what would the Tang Dynasty use to resist?
