The summer heat gradually rose in June, and the newlywed Li Bao took Zheng Yan to Weizhou. Because Chang'an has just recovered and is very dilapidated, and the focus of Li Bao's business is still in Weizhou, Ling'er and Yunfang have never gone to Chang'an.

The reason why Li Bao's wedding was chosen in Chang'an is mainly Zheng Jin's meaning, and as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it is normal for Li to stay in Chang'an to get married.

After a month in Chang'an, he couldn't stay any longer. In April, Tian Lingzi had already surrendered to the law, and his brother Chen Jinghuo in Shuzhong was very afraid, and he had been recruiting troops for the past few months. He also ordered all commercial communication with Weizhou to be cut off.

Li Bao can't let Shuzhong go outside his sphere of influence, and he must take Shuzhong as soon as possible. The wealth of Shuzhong is one reason, and the other reason is that Shuzhong is the production area of sulfur ore, and the tea and silk in Shuzhong have always been very important production areas of Datang.

Li Bao's Shanhe Society has to buy a large amount of tea and silk from Shu every year, Chen Jinghuo did not block the trade route of Shanhe Society in the face of the imperial court, and now Li Bao has killed Tian Lingzi, Chen Jinghuo has closed the trade route from Xingyuan to Shuzhong, and the proprietors of the four major business groups of Qin, Liu, Wang and Kang have met Li Bao many times, and he must make a decision.

For the sake of the interests of Shanhe Society and business partners, as well as the development of Weizhou's thermal weapons, Li Bao must take Shuzhong.

However, it is not easy to enter Shu, and since ancient times, there is a saying that "Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky". In order to capture Shuzhong as soon as possible, Li Bao must concentrate the forces of all parties in his hands to advance together.

After more than ten days of traveling, Li Bao and Zheng Yan and his party finally arrived in Weizhou. Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang, Wei Zhuang, Xu Xuanye and other officials who stayed behind greeted Li Bao and his party outside the city gate.

After Li Bao, Zhang Chengye and others exchanged brief greetings, they immediately set off into the city. There is a reason why he is so anxious, Ling'er and Yunfang have already given birth.

Li Bao had promised to stay by their side and wait for them to give birth, but he broke his promise again. However, he got the news half a month ago that Ling'er gave birth to a son and Yunfang gave birth to a daughter, and the two ladies and the child were safe, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Zheng Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the courtiers outside the car window, they were all Lang Jun's subordinates, and Zheng Yan couldn't help but sigh a little in her heart. Lang Jun has slowly developed from an unknown prince of the deep palace to such a point, not only with great power, but also with so many talents gathered under his command.

I really don't know why Rokuro's vision is so accurate, and all the people he has collected are talented. Even as far away as Xingyang, she heard that Wei Zhuang and Jing Xiang in Weizhou were rookies of the younger generation. Not to mention Zhang Chengye, who is good at government affairs and trivial matters, this extremely alternative eunuch.

The reason why Zheng Yan uses an alternative to describe Zhang Chengye is because Zhang Chengye is different from a greedy and arbitrary eunuch like Tian Lingzi, Zhang Chengye is a good material for doing practical things. Liulang can discern talents, which has to be said to be the mutual achievement of Zhang Chengye and Liulang.

Zheng Yan saw that the construction of Weizhou was in good order, she felt that everything was very fresh, tall buildings and prosperous scenes, all kinds of people had smiles on their faces, even Li Bao returned to the city, did not disrupt the order of Weizhou, this should be what Liulang meant. He has always opposed disturbing the people for officials, and even more resented officials being unkind.

I heard that the inspection envoy of Weizhou is a subordinate general of the Yellow Bandits, and the authority of this inspection envoy is very great, and anything can be impeached, but the grade of this inspection envoy is not high. I heard that Zhang Zhifang and Yang Siqi, the two old acquaintances of Liulang, were impeached by the inspection of the imperial history, and the two did not dare to be sloppy at all and immediately rectified, and thanked the inspection of the imperial history.

After Liulang heard about the actions of the two, he also instructed the Weizhou Art Troupe to publicize their deeds. Rokuro is really strange, doing so many strange things, but surprisingly effective. What a genius he is!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yan couldn't help but look at Li Bao riding a horse not far away, looking at Li Bao's upright body from a distance, he was very heroic, and the resolute appearance of his side face made her very fascinated.

Qinglan sat in the carriage and was also watching the scenery of Weizhou, the Weizhou in her eyes was full of surprise, this Weizhou gave her more shocks than she had in the past ten years, she watched quietly, and only felt that the uncle who created all this was really amazing, and it was really a blessing to be able to follow him.

Zheng Yan thought a lot, and when she saw the tallest building in the city, she knew that King Ji's Mansion was about to arrive. When she thought of King Ji's Mansion, she thought of the few women who lived in King Ji's Mansion. She was familiar with these women, but at this time there was a gap between her and them. It's just because she has now become Li Bao's wife, the only wife.

The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that one of the prince's wives is a concubine, and in addition to the main wife, two widows can also be divided, and the five products are regarded as positive. There are ten concubines, depending on the six grades, and there is no limit to the concubines.

As Li Bao's first woman and gave birth to his eldest daughter and eldest son, Ling'er is Li Bao's closest and favorite woman, and she is definitely going to be named a widow.

The matter of pregnancy and childbirth has become a knot in Zheng Yan's heart, and as a concubine, she feels a little sad every time she thinks of this. But she was helpless, after all, he should have married Li Bao two years ago, if there were no such things, who would be able to give birth to a son for Lang Jun first.

But in the current situation, her main room is in a very unfavorable situation, so she wants to plan well on the matter of dividing the concubine this time. There is also a widow whose status has not yet been determined, and this widow's name is her bargaining chip, and she must make good use of it.

Yun Fang is from a wealthy merchant family, well-versed in literature and ink, indifferent and quiet, and she has just given birth to a daughter for Liulang, Zheng Yan feels that if she is pulled over, she should increase her weight.

As for the bewitching woman of Hu origin, Xinniang, she has always disliked her, so she will never agree to make her a widow, although she entered the door earlier than Yun Fang.

Zhang Hui, who later entered the door, is said to be the daughter of an official eunuch, and it was Yang Siqi's eunuch who entered and dedicated it to Liulang. I heard that the woman was scheming and very pleasing to Rokuro.

Zheng Yan has always been disliked for such a scheming woman, she knows that she must not pull this woman over, once she gets the favor of Liulang with her own help and has a famous position, then she will not lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot, she must not do such a cocooning and self-restraint thing.

However, it is not a good thing that Yun Fang is too indifferent, which is destined that she will not go to great lengths to compete for favor and fix her favor. So if she wants to be stable in King Ji's Mansion in the future, she has to have other means.

Women's competition for favor is color art, and the second is taste. She grew up in a high-ranking family, and she couldn't do some smoky and flattering behaviors, but those foxy women were like the orchids of Xin Niang but had no scruples, and she had heard more than once that Xin Niang accompanied Liulang to do those embarrassing lewd things.

In the past month, the two of them have been living in a very harmonious new marriage, often having several orgasms while Rokuro has not yet finished his fun. Sometimes I have to wait for Rokuro to have fun, and I basically can't get out of bed the next day.

As the main room, Zheng Yan had to find a way to tie Liulang's heart, so she set her eyes on Qinglan not far away. Qinglan is her personal maidservant, not to mention Zhou Zheng, her knowledge and taste are not far from herself, and she has noticed the burning desire/hope contained in Liulang's gaze when he looks at Qinglan several times.

So she said to Qing Lan, who was full of excitement: "Qing Lan? ”

"What does the lady command?" After Qing Lan heard her master's question, she immediately withdrew her greedy gaze and turned to look like Zheng Yan.

"Qinglan, I have something I want to ask you." Zheng Yan said slowly, after all, she was still a little unable to open her mouth about such things, and asked her to take the initiative to share her husband with her maidservant.

"What's the matter, lady, may I ask, is there anything else in the slave family that the lady doesn't know?" Qinglan, who was excited, understood the profound questions that her mother was thinking, she was a girl at this time, and she was very cheerful to speak.

"You, what do you think of Ah Lang?"

"Alang? The lady is talking about the king. The king is wise and thoughtful, extremely smart, he is a person who can do great things and achieve great things, and the slave family is quite a person who says that the king is now in this situation, and he will definitely be a saint in the future, and then the lady will be the queen, and the slave family will be ...... at that time."

Speaking of this, Qinglan suddenly realized that she had said too much. So she hurriedly explained: "Lady, the slave family is all nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Listening to Qinglan's words, Zheng Yan was suffocated, it turned out that Qinglan also had ideas, it seems that excellent men are what every woman desires, if she is willing to share with Qinglan, will she follow her to work for herself in the future?

Zheng Yan didn't know, but she didn't know when Li Bao would be able to claim the title of emperor, but the embarrassment in front of her had to make a decision early. So she took a deep breath and said: "Qinglan, we grew up together since childhood, since childhood like sisters, recently I got married to Liulang, we sang every night, but you also understand that Liulang is physically strong, I really can't cope with it alone in this room, if you can inherit the favor with me, the future will ......"

When Qinglan heard this, her heart was pounding, and she only felt a little short of breath. But what the lady said clearly paved a bright path for her. As long as you follow the lady and serve the king well, you can also get rid of this slave by virtue of the king's grace in the future. And since she Li Bao promised her that day, she has long wanted to find a chance to get what she wants. Today, the lady actually took the initiative to bring it up, what else did she not want to do.

So she said excitedly to Zheng Yan: "The lady is virtuous and virtuous, the slave and maid will definitely look forward to the lady in the future, and will never dare to turn her back on the lady." ”

Seeing Qinglan's excited expression and excited words, a faint sadness in Zheng Yan's heart gradually spread. But her sorrow had just begun, for the Jiwang Mansion had already arrived.
