It was the first month of the year, and the silver rain was shining. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems to compensate for last year's drought, and since the beginning of spring, the Heluo area has been raining incessantly.

As the saying goes, spring rain is as expensive as oil. Last winter's heavy snowfall gave the land plenty of rest. The rain since the beginning of spring seems to be a harbinger of a good year this year. In the fields, the peasants are wearing coats and working hard, and from time to time there is laughter.

Since December last year, there has been no war in Xingyang for two months!

Although Kaifeng, Weishi and Daliangcheng are still occupied by Li Mi, it does not have much impact on the people in Xingyang, Guancheng, Gongxian and other places. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that whether it is the Sui court or Li Mi's Wagangzhai, they are all mobilizing troops and horses to accumulate strength. A big war is definitely inevitable, what changes will this war bring to the Central Plains in the end? Everyone is secretly speculating.

Li Yanqing went to the Eastern Capital this time, but it seems that he found nothing.

But he didn't care.

Whether there is a gain or not, only he knows in his own heart.

Although Fan Zigai is gone, there is still a Lu Chu who will support him. There is no doubt that Duan Da is a clear supporter of Wang Shichong, but what about Yuan Wendu? It seems to be similar to a tumbler, swaying from side to side, trying to get enough profit from the middle.

The small eastern capital seems to be uneventful, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging......

*******

"Lang Jun is back...... Li Langjun is back! ”

Outside the door of the Li Mansion, there were bursts of shouts, which immediately triggered a series of agitation.

Countless people came out of the mansion to welcome Li Yanqing's return. Yao Yi, Xu Jingzong and others went out to greet them, which made Yanqing's heart a little warmer.

Looking at Xu Jingzong and others, who were quite contrived but not insincere, Li Yanqing couldn't help but laugh.

"Lao Yao, the Yan clan is messing around, why are you also mixed up with it? Well, don't stand here and get noticed. Let's go our own way. ”

Yan nationality is Xu Jingzong's cousin.

Li Yanqing called Xu Jingzong's name, which made this guy smile suddenly.

He himself knows his situation. Although Xu Jingzong is very much used by Li Yanqing, he is still not Yanqing's confidant.

Yan Qing is now calling him by his name, which is actually showing an attitude: I am optimistic about you!

Xu Jingzong stepped forward respectfully, "Lang Jun is here, everything is normal at home." ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly and patted Xu Jingzong's shoulder, "The Yan clan just needs to be busy, I will stay at home for two days, and you can inform me at any time when you have it." ”

After speaking, he said to Yao Yi: "Old Yao, I went to the Eastern Capital this time, and I was fortunate to invite Xu Wenyuan and Xu Gong to sit in the Qilin Pavilion for the former Guozi Festival, and it is estimated that after a while, I will come to Gong County." At present, the Kirin Pavilion is still on a suspension, and the manpower is not sufficient. Therefore, the big and small matters in the hall, you have to think more about it, don't let Xu Gong come, I feel that our Qilin Pavilion is rude, and I don't know how to respect the old and the virtuous. ”

Yao Yi, in the third year of the great cause, changed 'righteousness' to 'yi'.

Previously, Xue Shui served as Li Yanqing's staff, and Yao Yi took charge of the affairs of the Qilin Pavilion.

However, Yao Yi does not have Xue Shu's extraordinary talent, nor does he have Xue Shu's family knowledge of literature and history. He is not weak in talent and has outstanding morality, but as the owner of the Qilin Pavilion, he is a little stretched. The reason is very simple, he does not have the talent to intimidate others, let alone a great reputation. So these days, Yao Yi has not been comfortable in the Qilin Pavilion, so that he has a lot of hair.

Hearing that Xu Wenyuan was coming, Yao Yi was overjoyed.

"If Gong Xu comes, the Qilin Pavilion will definitely become famous, and I can finally unload the heavy responsibility on my body!"

"Hehe, go inside and say."

Li Yanqing pulled Yao Yi and walked towards the mansion.

The servants and servants who had gathered at the door also dispersed.

"Is Brother Bo back?"

"Oh, Lao Xue has returned...... However, he said that it was more or less inconvenient for his sister to live here. Therefore, after discussing with Mrs. Gao, the family moved to Milliqiu Castle. ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, and immediately understood the clue.

Xue Shui is now in Gongxian County, completely living in Li Yanqing's mansion, and has no property.

He can live in Li Yanqing's mansion without any worries. But his sister-in-law came, but it was not good to live for a long time. After all, people's words are terrifying, and there will always be all kinds of rumors under the fence of a big girl with yellow flowers. Therefore, it is also a good choice to live in the Milli Hill Fort. After all, when Changsun Sheng was alive, he also admired Xue Daoheng. Mrs. Gao is also a talented type of woman, and Xue Ying lives there, so she can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. However, maybe it's time for Xue to collect and buy some properties in Gong County.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing immediately beckoned Ma Sanbao to step forward.

After whispering an order, Ma Sanbao immediately expressed his understanding and left in a hurry.

"Lao Yao, you are back home this time, are you still safe at home?"

A few years ago, Yao Yi went home to save his family.

He was born in a family of eunuchs, his ancestor Yao Hong, and his great-grandfather Yao Xuanye, both of whom were dignitaries of the Southern Dynasty; Grandfather Yao Anren served as the assassin of Qingzhou and Fenzhou during the Kaihuang period. And his father wanted to think about it, and he also served as the governor of Huaizhou, and concurrently served as the lieutenant of Hangu Guan.

Yao Yi smiled and said softly: "It's nothing, but this time I returned home and got married!" ”

"Huh?"

"My grandfather had set up two family affairs for me in his early years, and this time he returned home just in time to get married. By the way, I came back this time, but I brought my family and family members to buy some properties in Gong County. ”

When Li Yanqing heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"The situation in Guanzhong, isn't it bad?"

Yao Yi's ancestral home was Wuxing, and later moved to Kipshi, which belonged to the rule of Kun County.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, this place was named Shaanxi County, which was an important place in Guanzhong and the Central Plains. To be precise, Kun County belongs to the Central Plains, but people are accustomed to the surname and take it as the rule of Guanzhong. Because of any wind and grass in Guanzhong, Kun County will be affected at the first time.

"Last year, there was also a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the Zhengguo Canal was cut off.

Moreover, the Longyou region is also full of bandits, and there are even people from the Western Regions and Turkic people who are in turmoil...... So inside the house, there is some turmoil. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

Yao Yi said: "Actually, my family is quite passable.

It's just that in the past, my father's account was in the next part of the song, and many people were uneasy. At the beginning, they were with my father, and they were also considered retainers of my family. I really don't want to see them sad over there, so I want to buy some properties in Xingyang County, and I also want to ask you for personal favors and give them proper placement. Those people are a little old, but they are still brave. Now that there are frequent wars in Xingyang, I can't say ......"

Li Yanqing understood!

Yao Yi didn't want to stay in the Qilin Pavilion to do his studies, but hoped to make a difference.

"How many are there?"

"I did the math, about three hundred...... However, they did not need to be trained, and they could immediately pick up their guns and go to war. ”

Three hundred, not too much, no less!

Li Yanqing replied without hesitation: "Since this is the case, let them come together."

As for the land, I will try to buy it for them. If they are willing to bring their family members with them, I can also make arrangements accordingly. ”

When Yao Yi heard this, he was overjoyed.

"In that case, I will send someone to deliver the letter and let them come as soon as possible."

******

In the evening, Xue Shui rushed back to Gongxian from the Milliqiu Fort.

At the same time, Du Ruhui rushed to Gong County. These are the most trusted masterminds around Li Yanqing, and Yanqing is not polite to them, and sets up a banquet in the pavilion in the back garden. Shen Guang and Ma Sanbao were ordered to patrol and guard outside the garden. Under the gazebo, two four-eyed mastiffs are quietly crawling underground.

"The situation in the Eastern Capital seems to have become more complicated!"

Yanqing got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

He recounted his encounter in Luoyang in detail, and then said softly: "I want to seek to arrest the envoy, but the situation is not optimistic.

Wang Shichong is a man who has the posture of a hero and should not be underestimated.

In terms of family background, he has the support of the Taiyuan Wang family behind him; In terms of military merits, he has the record of killing Liu Yuanjin in Jiangnan and defeating Geqian Lu Mingyue, which doesn't seem to let me much. The most important thing is that Jiang Du seems to be very satisfied with him, as if he intends to let him take over the arrest.

I can't accept this! ”

Li Yanqing used a solemn tone that rarely appeared to explain to Xue Shudu Ruhui.

He is not a momentary anger, but if Wang Shichong really becomes an arrester, it will not be a good thing for Li Yanqing.

Even if I can't be it, I can't let Wang Shichong take it.

Even if it is to find a mediocre talent to serve as the arrester, in short, Wang Shichong must not be cheap.

Du Ruhui frowned, shook his head after a moment of silence and said, "This thing is not easy to handle...... Wang Shichong is this person, and I have also paid attention to some times. Indeed, as Yan Qing said, this person has a heroic posture. But as for his so-called credits, to be honest, I don't particularly value them. Wang Shichong led the army, but he was only in the middle, not good, nor bad. Regardless of whether he lured Liu Yuanjin to the rest of the army in Jiangnan, or defeated Geqian in Hebei, and fought against Lu Mingyue in Nanyang, he was not a tough opponent. Compared to Li Mi, this person is far from the same. His greatest strength is his ability to seize opportunities, he is good at speculation, and his methods are very ruthless.

But that's not a problem.

Yan Qing, if you want to get rid of him, or even replace him, the biggest trouble is that the Taiyuan Wang family behind Wang Shichong can give him huge support. ”

This is the power of the world!

Li Yanqing also understood that the gap between himself and Wang Shichong was, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If he hadn't turned against the Zheng family back then, maybe at this moment, whether it was Yang Qing or Yuan Wendu, they would support him.

There are pros and cons to everything, and it is difficult to have both.

Li Yanqing and the Zheng family turned against each other and won Yang Guang's trust.

But at the same time, it also offended many wealthy families, making Li Yanqing's road much narrower all of a sudden.

Du Ruhui said: "You gave Wang Shichong a dismount in Changxiamen, and he will never give up." Therefore, he will be bound to win the position of arrester. Perhaps, he is now mobilizing all the connections at his disposal to seek the position of the Arrest Envoy.

If the Wang family mobilizes with all their might, even if Lu Chu is willing to support you, it will hardly be of any use. At most, on the list submitted to Jiangdu, there is only one more name on you. ”

"In this way, the person who finally decides is in Jiangdu!"

Xue Shui suddenly raised his head and interrupted Du Ruhui's words.

Du Ruyan didn't show any displeasure, and said with a smile: "Bo Bao is confused, how can King Yue be in charge of such an important position?"

This matter must be decided by Jiangdu, and the three auxiliary ministers of the Eastern Capital are just responsible for selecting the most suitable person and reporting to Jiangdu. ”

"If that'......"

Xue Shui showed a smile, "Yan Qing has a fifty percent chance to take over the position of Henan's ambassador." ”

Originally, Yan Qing listened from the sidelines, and felt that it was great to have a hope of one or two points. didn't think that as soon as Xue Shui opened his mouth, it would become half a chance.

I couldn't help but be stunned, "I wish to hear Bo's praise." ”

"Actually, my idea is still thanks to Lao Du's words just now. Lao Du just said: Wang Shichong will definitely mobilize all the relationships that can be used, which naturally includes the connections of the Taiyuan Wang family behind him...... Yan Qing, who has the biggest position in this Taiyuan? ”

Yan Qing said: "Naturally, it is Tang Guogong, who stayed too far behind, and Shanxi arrested the ambassador Li Yuan." ”

"Who is the closest person in the world to you?"

Xue Shui and Du Ruhui already knew Li Yanqing's life experience.

Yan Qing seemed to understand a little, "Naturally, it's my biological father...... Brother Bo Bao, do you mean that you want me to ask Tang Guogong to come forward and say something for me? ”

Xue Shui shook his head again and again, "If you ask Tang Guogong to say something for you, then there will definitely be no chance at all." ”

Du Ruyan was thoughtful, and after hearing this, he nodded again and again.

"Then what do you mean ......"

"Yanqing, I have another question, who is Jiangdu most afraid of in the world?"

There seems to be something strange about this question.

Who is Yang Guang most afraid of?

Li Yanqing closed his eyes and groaned, and his fingers lightly tapped the food table in front of him.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, "Peach and plum, win the world!" The most feared person in Jiangdu is probably this 'peach and plum'. ”

The corners of Xue Shu's mouth curled, "Yes, it's 'peach and plum'."

But this peach and plum is not a peach and plum of Zhao County. I think that Li Mi now seems to be magnificent, called Wang Wagangzhai, arrogant. But in fact, Jiang Du may not have put him in his eyes. Li Mi was originally from Yang Xuangan, and his family was destroyed. Even if he called the king of Wei, he was just a loner.

Therefore, I think that the 'peach and plum' that Jiangdu is really afraid of is the ear of Tang Guogong.

Tang Guogong was born in the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, and returned to the Li family in Longxi. In terms of fame and strength, it is not comparable to Li Mi. And Tang Guogong's way of forbearance, Li Mi reversed, Li Hun died, but he was still unscathed, but his authority was even more important. Even if Jiang Du had the heart to deal with Tang Guogong, he didn't dare to act rashly. On the surface, it seems that he is extremely favored by Tang Guogong, but in fact, he is quite jealous. ”

Li Yanqing and Du Ruhui thought so.

However, at this time, Xue Shui still did not say the plan in his heart, so the two of them did not speak.

Xue Shui continued: "Let's see, if Wang Shichong wants to mobilize the connections of the Wang clan, he will definitely invite Tang Guogong." And between you and Wang Shichong, I'm afraid that the Tang Kingdom Guild is more inclined to you...... If that were the case, you would definitely not get the position of arrester. ”

Yan Qing stroked his palms and smiled.

"Brother Bo Bao means ......"

Xue Shui also stood up, but put away the smile on his face, "If Tang Guogong recommends Wang Shichong, I don't know what Jiangdu will think?" ”
