"Huh...... Wu Kecheng has just been invited by the prince of Shuli, and I have just come back, this is a certain disciple, a native of Pingzhou, surnamed Xiangrong, the word Hongzhi, and Zhuang Langjun are also considered fellow villagers. If you have this heart, it's fine! I don't know who else I invited? When Zhu Yongji heard this, he understood that the question was just a rhetoric.

"Oh...... Fellow countrymen! I've seen this little brother! Zhuang Yi smiled and said slightly.

"Zhuang Langjun is polite!" Zu Xiangrong saluted back.

Zhuang Yi smiled, turned his head and said, "There is another Master Yangguang, and another is Mr. Zhang Miaokang, a native of Yuyang, who came with me!" ”

"Master Yangguang! I don't want this monk to be here, it's lively. Zhu Yongji nodded and laughed, and immediately did not give in, and took the lead.

Zhuang Yi hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Does Mr. Limin recognize Master Yangguang?" ”

"Of course...... I also met him in Longquan Mansion in Bohai State, I was invited to give lectures there, and the monk Yangguang went there to travel and turn into a fate, this monk has a good medical skill, presumably for Princess Xi's illness. Zhu Yongji guessed.

"Exactly ......"

The two chatted all the way, and when they arrived at the camp, Monk Yangguang and Zhang Yitai had already arrived, Zhuang Yi stepped forward to introduce each other, Monk Yangguang watched Zhang Yitai and Zhu Yongji talk, just smiled and said nothing, and his little apprentice Yanwu also stood behind him obediently, looking at everyone curiously with big watery eyes.

Bian Wu and Mei Xiang had already set up seats in the tent, placed the tableware one by one, and saw Zhuang Yi leading everyone to sit down one by one, so they immediately came in with a tray and served all the wine and food.

"Zhuang Langjun is also stingy, and he puts all the vegetarian dishes in front of the poor monks, how can this be hospitality?" Monk Yangguang muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Haha...... It turns out that Master Yangguang can't help but eat and drink, so I said it earlier! Zhuang Yi laughed.

"If he were a vegetarian, would he be so white and fat?" Zhu Yongji also laughed and joked, and everyone laughed along.

At the beginning of the banquet, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Zhuang Yi immediately raised his glass to invite drinks, and enthusiastically persuaded the wine again and again, until the wine was full of food, and the table was full of cups and plates, then he ordered someone to withdraw from the banquet, boiled water by himself, brewed slightly rough tea, and served it to everyone one by one.

Only then did he pour himself a glass, turned around and sat down and said: "I have always had a question in my heart, I want to ask talented people to solve my doubts, this time it is rare to meet Master Yangguang and Mr. Limin, please give me advice!" ”

"Zhuang Langjun, please say ......"

Zhuang Yi thought about the wording, and slowly asked, "I just want to know the ownership of Yingzhou and Liaodong, whether it is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty?" Or under the rule of the Bohai State? ”

"Of course, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, even the Bohai Kingdom is also a Datang domain, this is a very simple question!" Zhu Yongji was surprised, and explained them one by one from the beginning.

It turned out that since the reign of Emperor Daizong, the Khitans took refuge in the Hui Dynasty, and repeatedly plundered Yingzhou and Liaodong in the Tang Dynasty, and the local Goguryeo remnants also rebelled repeatedly, as well as the struggle for power between the Pinglu army and generals at that time, so it was difficult both internally and externally.

At that time, Li Zheng, the two giants of the Pinglu Army, and Hou Xiyi were both the leaders of the Goguryeo warrior group, and after squeezing out other forces, they supported Xuanzhi, the protector of Andong Dadu, who was not very powerful at that time, as the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, which exacerbated the internal division, and finally could not bear the external harassment, so he had to ask the court to move inward, and then got the approval of Daizong, so he led more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians to move Pinglu Jiedu from Yingzhou to Shandong, and renamed Ziqing Jiedu.

The Andong Protectorate of Yingzhou and Liaodong was governed by the Bohai State from then on, and guarded against the southern invasion of the Khitan. After all, in the land of Liaodong at that time, nearly half of the Bohai people and Goryeo remnants lived.

In this way, Yingzhou and Liaodong still nominally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but they were actually abandoned fundamentally. The situation in Yingzhou is more complicated, and it was once under the rule of Youzhou, but because of the mixed living of various ethnic groups in Yingzhou, there was often chaos.

Youzhou Jiedu also looked down on such a wild and bitter cold place, and never managed the land of Yingzhou, let alone sent troops to defend it. As a result, Yingzhou and Liaodong have been in a semi-independent state, and the Bohai State has not been strictly controlled because of its improper name. As a result, the two major institutions of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion and the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate have always been controlled by the local clans, and most of them are led by the Bohai, Goryeo, and Khitan people. After Zhu Yongji's explanation, Zhuang Yi suddenly realized that Yingzhou and Anton are both semi-independent, in this case, whoever is replaced to govern, the court will recognize it, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty is now divided into feudal towns, and the emperor is simply a puppet.

"Presumably, Mr. Limin's affairs in Bohai should be completed, and I don't know when he will return to Hebei?" Zhuang Yi asked with a smile.

"The matter here is over, and he will return after the king's tent meeting, what is the matter with Zhuang Langjun?" Zhu Yongji heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"I heard that Mr. is a famous person in Hebei, and he must have a wide range of contacts and many ways to go in the court. To tell the truth, I have something to ask for, and when I want to ask Mr. to return, I will go to Yuyang to see Zhao Zhijun, the assassin of Jizhou, he is also my father-in-law, so I naturally know how to start this matter, but he is an official and has many inconveniences, so I have to ask Mr. to contribute more. Of course, the younger generation has a deep relationship with Mr., and if it is inconvenient for Mr., then I will find someone else. Zhuang Yi stood up and saluted and pleaded.

"It doesn't matter! What is it? Let's talk about it in detail...... Zhu Yongji asked suspiciously.

Zhuang Yi had no choice but to explain his plan to take over Yingzhou from the beginning. Zhu Yongji pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, Yingzhou has been chaotic for a long time, and it would be a good thing if it could be brought under the rule of the court again.

"Then it's decided, then I will ask Mr. Miao Kang to go with you, he is familiar with Yuyang Zhao Yuanjun, so it is convenient to act."

Although these are still too far away, but at the moment, we need to take precautions and lay out them one by one, just to solve the problem of going to Zhu, defeat the Khitans, or take Yingzhou as the foundation as soon as possible, Zhuang Yi is secretly urgent in his heart.

After the banquet was over, Zhuang Yi found Sha Gu and Bian Wu, and gave an order. He went to see Princess Aylan again, handed over some miscellaneous goods and the rest of the war horses to Princess Alan, entrusted her to take care of them, and told Princess Aylan what he had seen and heard that night, and asked him to tell Turus.

Due to the careful use of medicine and proper care in the past few days, Princess Xi's condition has improved significantly, and Princess Ailan's mood has gradually become lively and cheerful, so she nodded and agreed.
