Four, five, three, useless work
Yu Liyan doesn't like Ying Tianfu very much. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why she doesn't like this place is that it is more depressing, far less than Diqiu and Haeju, and not as free as Jeju, and the second reason is Zong Ze.
When Zhou Quan was in Tianfu, Zong Ze must have come to visit, although the two are not small in age and have many differences in political strategy, they cherish each other.
There is always this old man bothering, and Zhou Quan naturally has a lot less time to accompany Yu Liyan.
What's more, during this time, Yu Liyan also got the news that the Liao State was defeated at the hands of the Jin people, and knew that her father had lost Shangjing and Zhongjing, and only ran to Yanjing with some remnants of the defeated generals.
Although Yelu Yanxi once wanted to kill Concubine Wen, he was still quite indulgent to Yu Liyan's daughter. And afterwards, he also sent King Jin to Jeju, which was regarded as never completely breaking off the relationship between father and daughter. Therefore, Yu Liyan was very worried about Yelu Yanxi's safety.
"If you are worried about your father, why don't you tell your brother about it?" She couldn't hide her thoughts, and after telling her teacher about her worries, the teacher asked in surprise.
"What's the use of talking to Zhou Lang, if he were the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I would have said that I would have listened to him a long time ago, but now, he himself is facing a lot of trouble...... Alas, I really don't understand what those who are emperors think, if I am the emperor, there is a talent like Zhou Lang, and I leave everything to him, I am in the palace, playing with many concubines, or shooting around with my retinue - how beautiful! ”
Yu Liyan's words came from the bottom of his heart, but he was stunned when he heard it.
Shishi actually looks down on Yu Liyan a little in his heart, although she is very sinicized, can speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty fluently, and can occasionally quote scriptures. But after all, she is a Hu woman who grew up in Saibei, and her temperament is not subtle, and her words and actions are often excessive.
She didn't expect that Yu Liyan would still have such thoughts on the outside.
is afraid of bringing troubles to Zhou Quan, so he would rather hide his worries, or find someone who may not like it very much, rather than tell Zhou Quan.
"Why don't we go hunting nearby?" Thinking about it, there is no other way to comfort Yu Liyan, the master asked.
Yu Liyan looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Come on, you don't like hunting at all, I don't know you yet, if rabbits and pheasants are injured, maybe you will feel distressed for a long time." Are you treating me like a wounded rabbit pheasant? Tell you, I'm not the kind of flower that hasn't experienced wind and snow, the flowers on our desert can be carried through even the coldest winter, and even the driest desert can grow......"
Even as she said that, there was still a slight tremor in her voice.
Shishi didn't laugh at her, just nodded in agreement. At this moment, Liang Hongyu trotted in with the corners of her skirt, and when she saw them there, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Something's wrong, Yu Liyan, your father's ...... What are you doing! ”
Don't look at what Yu Liyan said heroically just now, but at this time, her face was still pale, she got up and stared at Liang Hongyu, which startled Liang Hongyu.
"Ruby, say it quickly!" It was still the master who understood the situation and reminded Liang Hongyudao.
"Oh, your father has gone to Jeju!"
Liang Hongyu's sentence made Yu Liyan stunned, and then said in disbelief: "You're not wrong, it's really ...... Went to Jeju? ”
"It's Jeju, in fact, twelve days ago we got the news that the Liao army was bought by Tong Guan to make a rebellion, and the whole army went south to the Song Dynasty, at that time Yanjing was in turmoil all night, just because we didn't get the exact news at that time, so we didn't tell you. Now I have received definite news that your father rushed to Wuqing that night, and from Wuqing to Jeju by boat. ”
"Wuqing by boat...... Great Liao Water Division? Yu Liyan muttered.
There is only one fleet on the East China Sea, that is, the original caravan escort sailor division that is now renamed the East China Sea Fleet, and the sailors of the Liao State have only developed with the battle of the Japanese in the past two years, but in fact they are just transport ships. After the defeat of Tong Guan, this fleet moved to Wuqing - when Zhou Quan handed over the capital of Nanjing Province to the Great Song Dynasty, including Wuqing, it was naturally recovered by the Liao people at this time, because the port facilities here are complete, and there are certain coastal defense fortifications, so it has become the base camp of the Liao State Naval Division.
After all, Yelu Yanxi is still the emperor of Daliao, and after he arrived in Wuqing, he immediately controlled the water division, almost did not stop, and ran to Jeju Island with the water division.
The officers and men of the Navy Division not only did not oppose his order, but welcomed it very much, after all, the situation in Daliao is now known to all, and they are not willing to stay here and wait to die, let alone go to the Jinren, and Jeju, which is rich and stable, has become their best place.
"This ...... It's true? Yu Liyan was pleasantly surprised, but he was afraid that he would listen to him, so he asked Liang Hongyu again.
"This kind of thing, how could I lie to you, Zhou Lang is afraid that you will worry about your father, let me tell you, he is now giving an order, preparing to go back to Jeju to meet your father!"
If Yelu Yanxi was not Yu Liyan's father, Zhou Quan would not be in such a hurry to see him, now it is different, anyway, after being intimidated by him, the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to delay the construction of the railway, and he now has some free time.
In addition to seeing this unreliable old man, Zhou Quan also had an intention, that is, to obtain the reality of the golden man from Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Yanxi himself is a straw bag, there are always people who understand under him, at this time, the destruction of the Liao State is almost a foregone conclusion, and Zhou Quan also has to consider whether to take one or two strongholds from the Jin people by himself.
It's just that he has only arranged the trip to Jeju here, and he didn't even leave, but someone came to disturb him.
"Guogong, I came to bring good news to Guogong this time!"
Zhao Gou, who came in the dust, now regrets it a little, he has run twice from the capital division in this short period of time!
"What's the good news?" Zhou Quan was also a little surprised, because Zhao Gou had only been separated from him for seven or eight days, and after arriving in Beijing, he rushed back immediately.
He ignored Zhao Gou's address to him, and after returning the seal of the Duke of Donghai County, he was not now considered the lord of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Ji Guogong's seal ribbon clothes, I have brought ...... to Guogong" Whether Zhou Quan refused or not, Da Song had to appease him, so the first "good news" brought by Zhao Gou was this.
Zhou Quan smiled dumbly: "What kind of good news is this......
"Not only this, the imperial court should know Tianfu with Zong Ze and supervise the construction of the Beijing-Xu Railway." Zhao Gou said again.
This is good news, Zong Ze happened to be by Zhou Quan's side, he was different from Zhou Quan, when he heard this appointment, he immediately knelt down and thanked him. Zhao Gou didn't expect that the unsightly old man beside Zhou Quan was Zong Ze, who had been repeatedly mentioned in the court recently, and he was relieved at the moment.
In this regard, Zhou Quan just watched coldly.
"The real good news is this, my father and Cai Xiang both agreed with Guogong's suggestion to entrust Donghai Yinzhuang to issue the Great Song Tongbao!"
Zhou Quan was really stunned at this moment.
The issuance of the Great Song Tongbao by the Donghai Yinzhuang, which is subordinate to the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, is to hand over the coinage rights of the Great Song Dynasty to Zhou Quan, which is a suggestion made by Zhou Quan to Zhao Ji and Cai Jing more than two years ago, but Zhao Ji pushed it to Cai Jing, but Cai Jing was noncommittal, and the matter has been shelved.
Nowadays, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty is extremely developed, because of the chaos of the old currency system, and there is even iron money circulating in some places, which brings a lot of trouble to the market, and it is not conducive to the state to collect taxes in monetary terms. Zhou Quan thought that with the tension between him and the imperial court, the matter of coinage rights would no longer be mentioned, so he put the matter aside early.
But I never thought that now that Cai Jing has stepped down and replaced Cai You as the prime minister, this matter has been passed.
As soon as his mind turned, he immediately understood why.
Unlike Cai Jing, a financial guru who knows some financial knowledge, Cai You is a straw bag, and he obviously does not realize the importance of coinage. In other words, he knew that the coinage rights were important, but now there was a problem that forced him to give up the coinage rights.
Things that can force the imperial court to give up the right to mint money......
"What exactly is the imperial court's plan?" Zhou Quan's heart moved, and he asked.
"The second phase of Yanyun bonds is endorsed by the Donghai Chamber of Commerce." Zhao said.
This is a quid pro quo in exchange for minting rights in exchange for the Donghai Chamber of Commerce to assume responsibility for the second tranche of Yanyun bonds to be issued. Zhou Quan waved his hand almost without hesitation: "No! ”
Zhao Gou was extremely puzzled when he heard this: "Now that the Liao State has lost Shangjing and Central Kyoto, tens of thousands of resentful troops have returned south, and the reinforcements sent by the imperial court have arrived...... Could it be that the Duke of Feiguo thinks that in this case, we will not be able to recover Yanyun? ”
Zhou Quan pondered for a while: "If you can fight quickly, you may be able to recover Yanyun, but I'm afraid the imperial court won't be able to hold it!" ”
"Can't hold it, how is this possible, if the Liao State loses Yanyun, only its Xijing Road remains, even if there are still some troops, how can it ......"
"It's not Liao, it's Jin." Zong Ze said slowly beside him.
Zhao Gou originally wanted to refute, but thinking that this person was like Zhou Quan, he had foreseen Tong Guan's failure, so he couldn't help but shut up again.
After all, he is still just a young prince, and in military affairs, he can only pass the word for his father, and he has no experience of his own.
"Tong Guan is going north again, I'm afraid the progress will not be too smooth, the Liao people have a psychological advantage over them, as for the resentful army he relies on, they are all the first rats at both ends, they may not be reliable. In this way, Tong Guan wants to recover Yanyun, and the only way is to collude with the Jin people. The Jin people broke through the area of the Great Wall...... It is most likely to be Juyong Pass, if the Juyong Pass is broken, the Liao people will be difficult to take care of, and Tong Guan may get half of Yanyun. But if this is the case, the Great Wall is dangerous, not for me, the Jin people are greedy together, waving their troops to the south, and Tong Guan can't stop it! Zong Ze said again, and then, he bowed to Zhao Gouchang: "Nine kings, please also relay the words of Weichen to the official family, and ask Tong Guan to beware of Jinren!" ”
"The prefect of the sect may wish to write to the emperor...... Thinking about the book of the Zong Governor's Mansion now, no one will dare to despise it anymore. Zhao Gou didn't want to take this responsibility.
His appearance made Zong Ze's heart suddenly pinch up, and Zong Ze looked at Zhou Quan for help, but saw Zhou Quan's face was ugly, and his lips moved twice.
"Jiguo Gong!" Zong Ze bowed to Zhou Quan.
"I agree with Mr. Zong, if the imperial court doesn't want to cause a big disaster, it is better not to join forces with the Jin people, and would rather force the Liao people to surrender!" Under Zong Ze's gaze, Zhou Quan could only speak.
It's a pity that Zhou Quan knows very well that what he says will not be useful! (To be continued.) )
