After Zhao Ziliang returned to Huayin, he spent the New Year with Mrs. Meng and his second son Zhao Ting in Huayin, and during the eight days from Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the first lunar month, the whole army stopped normal drills except for morning drills and evening classes, and the soldiers were allowed to take turns out of the camp, but they had to return to the camp before nightfall every day.

Although there are many restrictions on holidays during the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army can go out of the camp to buy things and play on the street, and they are still very happy.

The Tang army has more than 100,000 people in Huayin, and the military officers and soldiers have brought great business opportunities to Huayin City, and the streets are very lively, and before the whole Chinese New Year and the eighth day of the Spring Festival, the streets are crowded with people, and the small traders and shops are making a lot of money.

After the seventh day of the first lunar month, all the officers and men returned to the camp for normal training, the Tang army returned to its previous intense drills, and the marshal's office and the generals and colonels at all levels in the army also resumed their normal duty state.

On the twelfth day of the first month, Zhao Ziliang was dealing with the backlog of official documents during the Spring Festival, Wang Can rushed into the lobby and reported: "Marshal, I just received the latest news, Wang Sili and 20,000 horses have successfully arrived in Nanyang, with the addition of 20,000 fresh troops, Lu Jiong's forces have been reinforced, and the rebels Li Guiren and Bi Sichen learned that 20,000 people had arrived in Nanyang, so they led the army to retreat for thirty miles, and the siege of Nanyang was temporarily lifted!" ”

There is also a news, Yang Sichang received the imperial court order to wave troops across the river to the north to enter Pengcheng after the deliberate delay, Yangzhou Taishou Ma Shouye received the imperial court edict, on the fifth day of the first month in Linjiang Building held a poetry competition, Yangzhou students participated in more than 100 people, he invited Yang Sichang and Yangzhou celebrities to judge, in the middle of the poetry meeting, Ma Shouye mobilized Yangzhou city defense army to surround the scene of the poetry meeting, and read out the emperor's secret edict on the spot, killed Yang Sichang, and quickly sent people to Yang Sichang's army to gather troops to read the emperor's holy decree, Yang Sichang's cronies and generals were all taken down, Ma Shouye successfully took over the military power, and now Ma Shouye has waved his troops across the river to the north to Pengcheng, it is reported that Li Yuan, the king of Wu in Pengcheng, was extremely frightened, and originally wanted to write a book to delay the time after receiving the holy decree, but now he did not dare to delay any longer, and he has personally led 18,000 people to Shangqiu! In addition, Helan Jinming, who was guarding Linhuai, did not dare to watch the fire from the other side anymore, and also sent troops to reinforce Xu Yuan in Shangqiu! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, in this way, the defense of the south, east and southeast has been greatly enhanced, and it is impossible for the rebels to attack the city as easily as before!" On our side, we can also safely wave our troops to attack the rebels from the front! ”

After the first month passed, February was coming, when the temperature began to rise, the weather began to improve, and the pace of war was soon approaching, taking advantage of this free time, Zhao Ziliang still decided to quickly deal with personal matters.

After being on duty in the evening, Zhao Ziliang sent a personal soldier to the military camp outside the city to call Zhao Ting back, and he returned to the backyard to ask the cook to add two dishes tonight.

Mrs. Meng came over to take off his armor for him, and put on his regular clothes, he sat down, and at the same time beckoned Mrs. Meng to sit down and said: "At the end of last year, I went to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and the emperor told me one thing, saying that he admired Ting'er very much, and wanted to marry the county lord of Yining to Ting'er, I didn't know Ting'er's thoughts and attitudes at that time, and he didn't meet the county lord of Yining, so he didn't agree at that time, but he didn't object! ”

Mrs. Meng became interested and hurriedly asked, "Oh, is there anything else going on?" Why do you say it now? ”

"Can you hide it if it's early?" Zhao Ziliang smiled, and then said: "The emperor and I have discussed, won't it be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days?" When the time comes, you go to the capital to visit the concubine, I will ask Ting'er to bring some personal soldiers to escort you over, and then the emperor will arrange for the county lord of Yining and Ting'er to meet separately to see if the two of them are eye-to-eye, if the two get along, this marriage will be completed, if the two can't get along, the matter will be stopped, so for the time being, you can't let them know that this time let them meet to let them go on a blind date, so you can't show it on the way to Chang'an, if Ting'er and the county lord of Yining look at each other, you don't have to rush back, Stay in Chang'an for a few more days, so that Ting'er and the county lord of Yining can get along more! ”

Mrs. Meng was very interested in this kind of thing, and said happily: "Okay, this matter is on me!" ”

After speaking, Mrs. Meng stopped smiling and asked, "Husband, who is this Yining County Lord?" Why haven't the slaves heard of it? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The county lord of Yining is the daughter of Li Heng, born to Zhang Liangdi!" ”

"Huh? How is Lee Hyung's daughter? Mrs. Meng looked shocked and said, "Isn't Li Heng being imprisoned now?" What future can Ting'er have if she marries his daughter? ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "I, Zhao Ziliang, don't need to look at the other party's family to marry my daughter-in-law, and since the emperor personally came forward to talk about this family business, he must have a reason!" Besides, can I refuse the emperor's proposal on the spot? And he took the initiative to marry the county lord, but it wasn't me Zhao Ziliang who took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry the county lord, if I refused, everyone in the world was afraid that they would say that I Zhao Ziliang was too ignorant! ”

Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "You don't need to match this matter, when you arrive in Chang'an, you go to see the concubine first, and the emperor will naturally have arrangements, and whether the two of them can look at each other at that time depends on themselves!" I neither force nor oppose the matter between them, they can take a fancy to each other, and I also support it, and I will not treat the county lord of Yining because she is Li Heng's daughter. If they don't get along, I'm not disappointed, you know what I mean? ”

"Okay, I know about it!"

It didn't take long for Zhao Tingxing, who was covered in armor and with a horizontal knife hanging from his waist, rushed back, and shouted when he entered the backyard: "Third aunt, I want to eat the food you cooked, what delicious food did you prepare today?" ”

Zhao Ziliang was sitting in front of the main house in the backyard reading a book, and after glancing at Zhao Ting, he continued to read, ignoring him.

Zhao Ting didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to go back to the backyard so early today, so he hurriedly saluted cautiously: "The child has seen his father!" ”

Only then did Zhao Ziliang raise his head and say, "I asked you to come back for dinner, you ran quite fast!" I haven't seen you go home so actively to say hello to your father and your aunt? ”

Mrs. Meng smiled: "Okay, the meal is ready, Ting'er, you wash up, change your clothes and come over to eat!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Ting agreed, touched his head and turned around and went to his own room.

During dinner, Mrs. Meng kept serving Zhao Ting vegetables and asked him to eat more, although the food in the military camp was better than the food in the army in other places, it could not be compared with the food at home.

Zhao Ting gulped down the vegetables, grilled the rice, and ate with relish, Zhao Ziliang said while eating: "Tomorrow, your third aunt will go to Chang'an to enter the palace to see the concubine, and by the way, spend the Yuan Festival in Chang'an, you will return to the barracks to hand over the official duties, and let Chu Ge take over you, your third aunt is pregnant, and you can't make mistakes when traveling, you choose twenty people from your father's personal soldiers, and escort her all the way, until she returns to Huayin from Chang'an, don't be lazy!" ”

When Zhao Ting heard that there was such a good errand, he could go to Chang'an to play justifiably, if there was absolutely no such opportunity in ordinary times, he hurriedly agreed: "Okay!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Ting asked Mrs. Meng again: "Third aunt, how long are you going?" ”

Mrs. Meng smiled: "This is not good, maybe you will come back after the Shangyuan Festival, maybe it will take a day or two to come back, but at least seven or eight days will stay!" ”

When Zhao Ting heard this, he suddenly got a little carried away and said happily: "Great! I can accompany the third aunt to visit Chang'an City, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the West Market and the East Market, and the Hibiscus Pond, I haven't been to these interesting places! ”

"Ahem!" Zhao Ziliang scolded: "You see that you get carried away when you talk about playing, if you only care about playing and something happens to your third aunt, see if I don't break your legs!" ”

"Huh!" Zhao Ting smiled and touched his head, and said, "The child can save it!" ”

On the afternoon of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ting escorted Mrs. Meng to Chang'an, rested at Chang'an's home for a while, and after dinner, went to Huaqing Palace to see the concubine.

When I arrived at the gate of Huaqing Palace, I saw a carriage coming out of it, and the carriage that came out of it almost hit Mrs. Meng's carriage that had stopped because it was in a hurry. The groom hurriedly stopped his horse, which caused the people in the carriage to let out an exclamation.

The groom hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "The villain should be damned, he disturbed the master!" ”

A nice but frightened woman's voice came from inside the carriage: "What happened?" ”

The groom said: "Back to the master's words, a carriage was parked opposite, and the villain was a little faster for a while, and almost crashed into it, which frightened the master, and the villain was guilty of death!" ”

This is the opposite carriage of the door curtain opened, revealing a delicate and beautiful girl's face, the girl saw a young general riding a tall horse next to the opposite carriage, a little stunned for a while, but saw that the other party was staring at her with shining eyes, which made her face instantly red with shame, and hurriedly said: "I almost crashed into the general's car, and the little woman apologized to the general on behalf of my groom!" ”

Zhao Ting looked at the woman in a daze, and even her words seemed to be deaf.

"Ahem!" Mrs. Meng's voice came out of the carriage.

"Ugh!" Zhao Ting came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Miss is serious, it's okay!" Miss wants to leave the palace, please first! After saying that, let Mrs. Meng's groom drive the carriage to the side of the road and let the opposite carriage pass first.

"Thank you, General!" The woman said coquettishly, lowered the curtain, and the carriage walked past Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly turned his head to look over, only to see that the curtain next to the carriage was pulled up a gap, revealing the beautiful face and an affectionate look just now.

Until the carriage was far away, Zhao Ting still turned his head to look, and Mrs. Meng's voice came from the carriage next to him: "Ting'er, it's not too early, the third aunt wants to go to see the concubine Niangniang early, you are waiting outside the palace!" ”

"Yes, Third Aunt!" (To be continued.) )
