In Fu Yanqing's letter, the matter was explained in great detail, Fu Jinzhan was articulate, and what he said was very attractive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Lian figured out what was going on, couldn't help frowning, and said, "This matter is wrong, my correspondence with Fu Jiedu is all secret, and it stands to reason that others will never know." The matter of transporting grain and grass is completely top secret. The grain is in the territory of Datang, there is no problem. was robbed in the territory of Dahan, and it is very likely that Fu Jiedu's side leaked the news. ”

Yang Lian's analysis is naturally reasonable, Fu Jinzhan also thought about this problem in advance, so he said: "Judging from all indications, the guards around my father are not suspicious, but that group of people have a problem. ”

"Most of these people are temporary patchwork, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven, with their cooperation, those bandits can successfully seize the grain, therefore, the people are likely to be sent out by the bandits. However, how did those bandits get the news, and then send an internal response to blend in with the people? Yang Lian asked, full of doubts.

Fu Jinzhan shook her head, she didn't know the reason, even the children of the Fu family who came to deliver the letter didn't know about it, how could Fu Jinzhan know? After a moment of silence, Fu Jinzhan said: "The grain has been robbed, the situation in Xuzhou is still bad, and I hope that Yang Gongzi will help." ”

Yang Lian said: "Fu Jiedu is kind to me, I naturally will not stand idly by in this matter, but if those thieves are not eliminated for a day, it will be difficult to transport this grain to Fu Jiedu's hands." If you want to transport grain first, you must first suppress bandits. ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded and agreed, and suddenly remembered that Yang Lian's words were a little wrong, as if his father had no kindness to him, so he glanced at Yang Lian suspiciously, and said, "Father is kind to you?" How come the concubine doesn't know? ”

Yang Lian laughed, stretched out his hand, grabbed her soft, and said, "Fu Jiedu gave me such a good daughter, isn't this kindness?" ”

Even though Fu Jinzhan was very calm, his face turned crimson, and he hurriedly shook off Yang Lian's hand and walked a few steps, but he slowed down again.

Yang Lian followed and said, "The food is naturally to be sent, and there can't be any mistakes this time, but this can only be done once or twice." If you want to get rid of the thieves in the mountains once and for all, you need the joint efforts of Chu, Xu, and Su to get rid of the thieves, so that they can open up discussions and communicate with each other. Not only for Chuzhou, but also for Xuzhou and Suzhou. ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded, although she is a woman, but the woman does not let her eyebrows, she still understands many truths. It's just that if you want to completely eliminate the thieves in the mountains, how difficult it is. Fu Jinzhan said the doubts in his heart. Now it is a troubled time, and the area around Mangdang Mountain is the border between the two countries, and the land is intertwined, it is precisely because of this that the thieves can wander in the two countries, and the Han State goes to suppress the bandits, and they flee to the Tang Dynasty, which makes the Han Kingdom helpless. On the contrary, if the Tang Dynasty goes to suppress the bandits, the thieves will also flee to the Han Kingdom, and in order not to cause disputes between the two countries, the Tang soldiers also dare not go north.

Yang Lian's suggestion is good, but the encirclement and suppression of the two countries is not trivial, and the consent of the emperors of the two countries must be obtained, otherwise even if it is a festival envoy and arbitrarily mobilizes troops and horses, he will be impeached by the imperial history of the court.

Yang Lian naturally knows this truth, and Yang Lian has long had such thoughts, Yang Lian has a great grasp of persuading King Qi, or Li Jing, the key is the Han side. Yang Lian said what he thought in his heart, and Fu Jinzhan also expressed concern.

No matter how worried he is, things still have to be done, Fu Jinzhan repaired a letter, and asked his henchmen to rush to Xuzhou to explain the matter to his father. Yang Lian wrote two excerpts at the same time, claiming that Chuzhou was located on the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Han Kingdom, and that Mangdang Mountain crisscrossed it, and there were many bandits in the mountains. Yang Lian deliberately asked his soldiers not to go to Runzhou, so as not to attract Li Hongji's attention.

In Jinling, in the palace of the King of Qi, Princess Huairou leaned on the pillar of the pavilion boredly, holding a wilted flower in her hand, and looked at the fish swimming in the river in a daze, her heart was full of envy. couldn't help but say: "Yu'er, Yu'er, how good would it be if this princess could be as unrestrained as you?" ”

Lv Shang heard it behind him, and knew what Princess Huairou was thinking, so she hurriedly said, "Princess, but you miss the horse?" ”

Princess Huairou glared and shouted, "This negative man, who misses him?" ”

Lu Sheng knew that most of her princesses were hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, so she said: "Don't worry, the princess has just been flooded, Chuzhou has just been flooded, and there are a lot of things to do, and the horses must be very busy, and it is understandable that they forgot about it for a while." ”

Princess Huairou stretched out her hand, quickly grabbed Lusheng's ear, pinched it, and said, "You understand it clearly, you feel sorry for him so soon?" ”

The green dress sighed, begged repeatedly, and said, "Princess, spare your life, spare your life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore." ”

Princess Huairou snorted coldly, let go of her hand, and sighed faintly, only to find that the flower in her hand had withered, and threw the flower angrily, and the flower fell into the water and floated away with the flowing water.

Just when Princess Huairou felt a little sad in her heart, in the imperial city, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, was flipping through the folds sent from all over the place. Although the title of the emperor's brother is enough to make the world look up, only he knows the suffering. The emperor's brother Li Jing made a hands-off shopkeeper, dumping all the affairs of the Tang Dynasty court to him, and asked some things from time to time. There were so many things that made Li Jingsui a little breathless.

Li Jingsui looked at the fold for a long time, and his eyes were a little sore, so he put down the fold and rubbed his eyes and acupoints with his hands to relieve the sore eyes. At this time, a small official came over and said in a low voice: "King Qi, the urgent report of the Shuntian Festival envoy." ”

"Huh?" Li Jingsui was taken aback, he knew that Yang Lian sent an urgent report, there must be something urgent. According to Li Jingsui's guess, nine times out of ten it is a matter of disaster relief in Chuzhou. However, as early as half a month ago, he received a report from Yang Lian, saying that the relief in Haichu and Haichu Prefectures was nearing the end, and it was not a big problem. Even if the disaster relief is successfully completed, there should be no need for urgent reporting.

Li Jingsui was a little worried, and hurriedly instructed the little official to submit the urgent report.

But the little official shook his head, and after the bow, he stepped back, and soon brought one man with him. This person was dressed as a businessman, and he was the personal guard named Zhu Qi sent out by Yang Lian. Zhu Qi saw the king of Qi and bowed his hand.

Li Jingsui was so anxious, where would he wait? Busy said: "No need to give a gift, present the letter." ”

"Whoa!" Zhu Qi withdrew his hand and quickly took out two letters. The letter was already wet, with a smell of sweat, and it could be judged that Zhu Qi was rushing and did not stop at all.

Li Jing then asked the little official to send two cups of tea, and Zhu Qi drank them all. Li Jingsui looked at the letter carefully, and his brows couldn't help frowning. In the letter, Yang Lian naturally did not tell the true situation, and said that the bandits wandering in Mangdang Mountain had recently been encircled and suppressed by the Han State, and many bandits had fled to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Yang Lian proposed that he wanted to use soldiers to suppress bandits, so he wrote a letter and asked the court to agree.

Li Jingsui was a little worried, the bandits were vicious, and Yang Lian was injured, but in the letter, Yang Lian didn't say anything. However, seeing that his handwriting was vigorous and powerful, unlike an injured person, Li Jingsui relieved himself, but for the sake of safety, he still asked Zhu Qi some information. Before Zhu Qi left, Yang Lian was told a thousand times, so he naturally knew how to deal with it, and replied without leaking, Li Jingsui knew that Yang Lian was only slightly injured, so he was relieved. In my heart, I hated this group of bandits.

opened another letter, this one was written to Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, in the letter, Yang Lian put forward several requests, hoping that the king of Qi could help. Although Li Jingsui was able to make a decision on the matter of suppressing bandits, Li Jingsui still wanted to discuss it with the imperial brother. asked Zhu Qi to rest, and asked the little official to prepare food for Zhu Qi to satisfy his hunger.

At this time, Li Jing was in the bedroom of Queen Zhong in the harem, and the two were talking about things, nothing more than some small talk, first saying that Li Hongji, the king of Yan, had been doing very well recently, governing Runzhou, and there was a bit of a thriving atmosphere, which made Li Jing feel a little comforted, after all, it was his own son, how could he not want him to be motivated?

Queen Zhong said good things about her eldest son, and while the two chatted, they talked about Princess Huairou's marriage again. Empress Zhong loves Princess Huairou very much and hopes that Princess Huairou will marry Yang Lian as soon as possible. Now that the affairs of Haichu and Chu have stabilized, and the original promise has been completed, it is necessary to take some time to get married.

Li Jing also agreed, Princess Huairou has a brutal personality, and she is not young, and if she marries, she can also be more qualitative. While the two were talking, the eunuch Gao Ze was outside to pray, and the king of Qi asked to see him.

For the King of Qi, Li Jing felt a little guilty, he threw all the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty to the King of Qi, and occasionally came to take a look and ask, this day is very leisurely. Hearing King Qi's request to see him, he knew that King Qi must have something to do.

Empress Zhong is also a sensible person, so she bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the military affairs are important, so let's deal with them first, and the concubines will retire." ”

Li Jing stood up and walked out of the door, Li Jingsui was pacing anxiously outside the door, the autumn weather, there was sweat on his forehead. King Qi was so anxious that Li Jing was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "King Qi, why are you so anxious?" ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, sighed and said, "Brother Huang, something is wrong, on the side of Chuzhou, a large number of bandits suddenly appeared, they attacked the people and robbed the grain, and Yang Lian was slightly injured for this. ”

Li Jing's moving footsteps stopped, turned his head, looked at King Qi, a little surprised, and said, "What did you say?" Yang Lian is injured? ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, nodded and said, "Exactly." As he spoke, he took out the official fold and handed it to the imperial brother.

Li Jing opened the excerpt, looked at it while walking, the more he looked at it, the more he felt frightened, the Tang Dynasty Huanghuang Tianwei used to be powerful all over the world, and now a few bandits actually dared to attack officials, which really made Li Jing very angry, he hurriedly read the excerpt, snorted coldly, and said: "This group of bandits is really hateful, we must get rid of them, and return the border to a peaceful place." ”

In this regard, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, thought so, and asked: "Brother Huang, what did Yang Lian say in the excerpt?" ”

Li Jing frowned, thought about it carefully, although he wanted to cooperate with the Jiedu envoys in Xuzhou, Suzhou and other places of the Han Kingdom, he believed that Yang Lian was not a traitor, and after thinking about it carefully, Li Jing said, "Accurate!" (To be continued.) )
