======
Dugu Shun didn't expect Dou Qing to be so frank, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "That's true, the Bohai Society will penetrate very deeply in the counties of Hebei, and it is said that many famous families also have secret communication with the Bohai Society, I am very worried that Zhang Xuan's strong force will be used by the Bohai Society." ”
Dou Qing shook his head secretly, Dugu Shun saw Zhang Xuan fighting sharply in Qingzhou, only to find that this was a strong force, so he was worried that he would be used by the Bohai Society, if he was brought over earlier, what are you worried about now?
Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Dou Qing did not show it on his face, he smiled lightly: "I have actually been paying attention to this person, but I don't have to worry that he will join the Bohai Society, so far, I have only seen him oppose the Bohai Society." ”
"How so?"
Of course, Dou Qing would not say how much information he had about Zhang Xuan, but said in general terms: "If he supported the Bohai Society, then the Bohai Society would have infiltrated Qingzhou a long time ago, but so far the Bohai Society has not opened up the situation in Qingzhou, and the former Taishou Liang Zhi of Beihai County died mysteriously, isn't it because Liang Zhi is a member of the Bohai Society?" ”
Dugu Shun was silent for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that the Hebei Shi clan and Bohai will have an unclear relationship, and now that he is married to the Hebei Shi clan, he will naturally have a relationship with the Bohai Society." ”
"Not really!"
Dou Qing said with a smile: "As far as I know, there are only two Hebei clans that are really close to the Bohai Society, the Boling Cui clan and the Bohai Gao clan, and the Lu clan should not have been co-opted by the Bohai Society, even if the Boling Cui clan is only a part of the clansmen and the Bohai Society is close, these famous families will not easily stand in line politically, otherwise they should have perished a long time ago." ”
"Brother Xian is also reasonable, I hope I am worried about nothing."
Dugu Shun changed the topic, and asked casually: "How is the situation over there?" ”
Dou Qing was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that this was probably the real purpose of Dugu Shun to find himself, since Dugu Shun was biased towards the Yuan family, Li Jiancheng had never reported to Dugu Shun about the matter, and it had always been Dou Qing who was secretly dominant.
Could it be that Dugushun is going to meddle in the affairs of the Li family again? Or is Dugu Shun's ambition starting to stir again?
"I wasn't in good health some time ago, and I haven't asked for a long time. This matter is done by Shude himself, and Brother Dugu can write directly to Shude. ”
Tactfully rejected Dugu Shun, Dou Qing asked tentatively: "Is there something wrong with the Wagang Army?" ”
Dugu Shun nodded, "Zhang Xutuo and Yang Qing, the king of Xun, went to the court at the same time, and each impeached the other party to suppress the Wagang bandits, this matter caused a stir in the court, and everyone knew that the two were not harmonious." ”
"What is the attitude of the Son of Heaven?" Dou Qing asked again.
"He didn't say anything, but just ordered the military department to properly handle the matter."
Speaking of this, Dugu Shun couldn't help but snort softly. With a sneering face, he asked, "Who do you think the military department will favor?" ”
Dou Qing shook his head, "Brother is knowingly asking!" ”
"It is indeed knowingly asked, I heard that Yang Qing secretly gave 10,000 yuan to the Ministry of War every year, and Zhang Xutuo only sent dozens of jars of pickles, and even the three-year-old child knew what the result was. This is clearly biased in favor of Yang Qing. ”
"So brother wants to know the real situation from where it was built, right?"
Dugu Shun certainly wanted to win over Li Yuan. It's just that now he is not just asking about the situation, he has deeper intentions, but he can also see that Dou Qing is deliberately avoiding it, so he doesn't ask deeply, as Dou Qing said, he just asks his nephew Li Yuan directly.
Dugu smiled. Then he changed the topic, "Next year, Yang Guang is going to meet with the Turkic Khan in Fuqibo, do you know about it?" ”
"I've heard that this seems to have come a little abruptly?"
"Actually, it's not abrupt, since the death of Qimin Khan. Yang Guang has not met with the current Shibi Khan, so the Shibi Khan's pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui Dynasty this time can be regarded as a courtesy, and more importantly, Yang Guang wants to stabilize the Turks in order to realize his plan of the northern and southern capitals. ”
Dou Qing was stunned, "What is the north and south?" ”
"It is Jiangdu that has been officially promoted to the southern capital, and I heard that Yang Guang plans to settle in the southern capital in the autumn and winter in the future, and return to Luoyang in spring and summer, that is, the northern capital, which is said to make the north and the south more integrated."
"This person just likes to toss!" Dou Qing said coldly.
"Isn't it good to toss?"
Dugu Shun's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Don't toss, how can we have a chance?" ”
"I feel like my brother wants to rebuild Wuchuan Mansion again." Dou Qing clearly felt that Dugu Shun's ambition began to swell.
"It doesn't matter whether Wuchuan Mansion is rebuilt or not, the important thing is that we have to seize the opportunity of Yang Guangqing's suppression of the Bohai Society, and it's time to start preparing, such as everyone getting together, what do you think?"
"I agree to this plan, I don't know where my brother plans to meet?"
"Naturally, it is Chang'an, and the time is set at the time of the Zhongyuan clan sacrifice, at that time, everyone has to go back to Chang'an to worship the ancestors, and this time is the most suitable time for the gathering, and there will be no suspicion from the court."
Dou Qing silently calculated the time, there was still a whole month, and the time was a little tight.
"Alright! We each went to inform everyone that the time was chosen on the night of Zhongyuan, and the place was in Bao'en Temple. ”
Dugu Shun nodded slowly, "We'll make up our minds!" ”
Since Zhang Xuan would officially lead the army to Jianghuai in late June, his time in the capital was running out, so the Lu family adopted Su Wei's suggestion and kept the marriage simple.
But then again, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties because of social turmoil, people can't take care of the six rites, only worship, even the ceremony of the union is not wanted, this kind of simple marriage because of saving money and trouble, is still generally popular in the Sui Dynasty, only the royal family and nobles have restored the six rites.
Therefore, the Lu family agreed to adopt a simple marriage, and there is no problem at all, only three steps of Nacai, invitation and greeting, asking for names, Najib and Nazheng have been removed, Nacai must, that is to say, the matchmaker, as the saying goes, 'There is no cloud in the sky and no rain, and there is no matchmaker in the ground to get married', so it is called Ming Media is marrying.
The wedding time was set in late June, two days before Zhang Xuan left the capital, the time was quite tight, Lu Zhuo specially asked for half a month's leave, and sent someone to Zhuo County to invite the old grandfather to the main marriage, this is also considering that Zhang Xuan's parents are not alive, if only the woman's parents are a bit inappropriate, so there is no problem to invite the grandfather.
There are still eight days before the wedding day, Zhang Xuan himself is also busy and dizzy, he has sent people to transfer troops into Beijing, he can no longer return to Beihai County, then he must transfer all his 20,000 troops to Xingyang County temporarily, he rushed to the convergence and led the army directly to Jianghuai to suppress bandits.
In addition to business, of course, Jang Hyun also has to be busy with his marriage, and he mainly prepares for the wedding and needs to purchase a lot of items.
In addition, there are wedding bands, wedding girls, guests, wedding banquets, wedding room decorations, etc., everything he is confused about, and he doesn't know where to start.
Fortunately, Su Erniang is shrewd and capable, which has given him great help.
In the morning, dozens of ox carts loaded with good furniture and items slowly drove into Jiashanfang, stopped in front of the side door of Zhang Xuan's new house, and a middle-aged man stepped forward quickly and asked Xu Tianxing, the housekeeper who looked confused: "This is General Zhang's mansion!" ”
"Exactly! What are you?"
The middle-aged man took out a letter and said with a smile: "Below is Jin Ming, the second housekeeper of Pei's Mansion, who sent a little item to General Zhang on the order of my master, and did his best." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Steward Xu's consent, so he waved his hand and said, "Bring things down!" ”
More than a dozen people moved down the furniture on the ox cart, and the housekeeper Xu Tian couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly ran back to the house to report.
Not long after, Zhang Xuan also walked out of the mansion quickly, he received a holy decree yesterday, asking him to enter the court today to see the Son of Heaven, he just changed his clothes and was about to set off, but he heard that the housekeeper said that Pei Fu sent a lot of things, which made him not feel strange, in any case, Pei Ju will also say that if he is also like other officials, waiting for him to send a congratulatory gift when he gets married, it will be a strange thing.
The furniture and items on the ox cart had been unloaded all over the ground, and the housekeeper of Pei Mansion knew Zhang Xuan, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "General Zhang, this is my master who asked me to send it, it is a little bit of his heart." ”
Zhang Xuan stepped forward to take a look at these furniture, they are all fine golden silk nan wood, the workmanship is very fine, and there are even a few pieces of sandalwood furniture, although it is not the most precious red sandalwood, but it is also made of precious wood.
During this time, Zhang Xuan already has a deep understanding of the prices of various household items, these furniture are worth at least hundreds of gold, don't say that ordinary people, even ordinary families may not be able to afford such expensive furniture, Pei Ju is really a caring person!
Although Zhang Xuan did not lack that furniture money, he would not turn away Pei Ju's wishes, he smiled happily: "Then please trouble the housekeeper to send these furniture into the house for me, and I will let my housekeeper arrange it." ”
The housekeeper of Pei Mansion was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Move things in!" ”
Everyone agreed, and they moved the furniture one after another, and Zhang Xuan instructed the housekeeper again: "Please ask the housekeeper to arrange it for me, I will enter the palace immediately, and I have no time to ask about this matter." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I will arrange it properly!"
The housekeeper Xu Tian hurriedly beckoned everyone to carry the furniture into the mansion, and the soldiers also ran out to help carry it.
Zhang Xuan looked at it for another moment, then turned over and got on his horse and galloped away in the direction of the imperial city with a few personal soldiers. (To be continued.) )
