That palm was about to slap Li Yu in the face, but Xiao Zhou stopped his hand and said sadly: "You...... That's all you can think about in your mind. ”

Li Yu said sneeringly: "I...... How can you blame me for having this thought, if it weren't for this reason, why would Yang Hao be willing to take the risk to save you and me? Thinking that Zhao Guan's family disregarded decency, such a subordinate work, Yang Hao ...... How good can it be? ”

Xiao Zhouhou shook his head slowly, and said firmly: "I don't know, since I was fifteen years old, I have entered the palace, and all I have been in contact with all day long is the red needle worker, poetry, song and dance, and court affairs, which are not something that I can understand as a female streamer." Why did Yang Hao save us, maybe not out of righteous indignation, but it will never be as unbearable as you think. ”

Li Yu said jealously: "How do you know? ”

Xiao Zhou said: "Because, there are countless beautiful women in the world, and you have also seen the postures of several wives and concubines around Yang Hao, even if Yang Hao is greedy for women, he is not a person who is obsessed with lust and reckless." Because, these days, I often go to the Qianjin Yixiao Building to meet his people, if he is ill to me, he can make people kidnap me, why bother so much? Because, the loss of a Zhou Nuying in Bianliang City is not an earth-shattering event, but the loss of a Longxi County Duke is so great that even an idiot can understand it, why does he insist on bringing you and Zhongyu? It's just a matter of bringing our family, why does he need us to bring Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan to as many people as possible who are loyal to the Tang family? Is this kind of behavior done by a person who is greedy for women? ”

Li Yu frowned slightly, although he didn't care about political affairs and spent all day long on poetry and fun, but after all, he had been the king of a country and had handled many national affairs, and Lin Huzi, a loyal and unparalleled minister, was killed by him because of a simple strategy like a portrait, this person can be described as extremely suspicious.

Just now he was just jealous, all he thought was that he was going to change to a green hat to wear, and after being accused by Xiao Zhouhou, he remembered that many of the doubts could indeed be scrutinized, he pondered for a long time, and his eyes gradually glowed, and he said in surprise: "Yang Hao is anti-hearted!" ”

"What do you say?"

"It must be so!"

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more right he became, and said very firmly: "Yang Hao is the envoy of the Hengshan Festival, sitting on the land of a state in the northwest, crisscrossing between the feudal domains, the official family is beyond the reach of the whip, Li Guangrui, Yang Chongxun, and Zhe Yuxun are called Song Chen, but in fact, they are princes all the way, how can Yang Hao not think of it and follow it?" Even if he has no intention of seizing the Central Plains, he must also have the ambition of separating the Western Regions, he wants to save me from leaving, and let me bring courtiers loyal to the Tang family, isn't it...... Could it be that he wants to help me restore and revive the Tang Dynasty? ”

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more excited he became: "Now that there are people in Shu who have gathered 100,000 troops to raise the flag to rebel, and the imperial court has taken a lot of effort to encircle and suppress it, at this time, if I can call on the old department to make a comeback, then Shu will be in chaos, and Jiangnan will also be in chaos, Yang Hao will be able to relax in the northwest and show his strength, he wants to use me, he is because of me...... to save our family from leaving. ”

Xiao Zhouhou stammered: "Yang ...... Yang Hao...... Have such big ambitions? ”

Li Yu said overjoyed: "It must be like this, it must be like this?" He wants to use me, so why should I not use him. Hey, once I get out of this cage, maybe I really have a chance to recover the Tang Kingdom and become the emperor again. ”

Speaking of this, he suffered again, looked at Xiao Zhouhou nervously and said, "Nuying, you say...... He...... Is he really sure to send us away from Bianliang City? He is now far away in the northwest, with soldiers and land, once the matter is defeated, it is a big deal to openly turn his face with the officials, but if we are exposed, there will be no place to die. ”

Xiao Zhouhou said hatefully: "Then we will stay in Bianliang honestly?" Are you willing to let me suffer the humiliation of Zhao Guangyi? ”

"Naturally, I won't!" Thinking that he had the opportunity to be the emperor again, Li Yu's excited legs swayed, and the dignity of the emperor was restored, and he immediately said without hesitation, but then he was worried again: "Can ...... Do you think I still have a chance? There are not many old ministers left who are willing to follow me, and Jiangnan has been occupied by the Song army, and I ...... I ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly burst into tears, choked up: "Hate only hate, I didn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, I favored Zhang Xun, Huangfu Jixun and others, and mistakenly killed Lin Renzhao, Pan You, Li Ping, these loyal ministers and virtuous ministers, if it was when the Song soldiers came to the city, I listened to Chen Qiao's advice, defended Jinling City, and fought with my 60,000 elite soldiers, I could use 20 years of food to wait for the army of King Qin and the people of the loyal monarch to respond, how could I end up like this." Now if I want to recruit the old department again, I am afraid that the road ahead will be full of dangers and obstacles, and it will be difficult to succeed in the end......"

Li Yu's tears rippled, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, but Xiao Zhouhou opened her eyes in surprise, Li Yu is different from ordinary people's sentimentality, moody personality, when she is covered with an imperial veil, she has also been beautified in her heart, only to feel that this is an emperor who is different from all emperors throughout the ages, and it is a manifestation of a temperament, but now it seems that it is infuriating, he is afraid of the tail and the tail, how can there be a little heroic blood? The great opportunity is in front of him, and he is actually thinking about ......, which is really different from ordinary people.

Xiao Zhouhou's forehead thumped a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "I only ask you, do you go or not?" ”

Li Yu hesitated for a while, stomped his foot hard, and said fiercely: "Now life is better than death, what's the fun?" So he went out and went. ”

Xiao Zhou was overjoyed and said: "Okay, then you listen to my plan, let's do this, in the name of this, invite Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan to have a banquet with their families, and other old ministers can also be recruited, but ...... If there is the slightest unreliability, then it must not be called, lest it spoil a great thing! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Empress Song has now moved out of the queen's residence and lives in a side hall in the palace, which is usually rarely inhabited, and the maintenance is not timely, and the conditions inside are naturally much worse. It had been lightly renovated before she moved in, and now the palace still smells of paint, mixed with damp must, and smells terrible.

Queen Song was lying on the couch, her face was bleak, and her eyes were blank. Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Defang, and Princess Yongqing surrounded her couch, and now there are fewer envoys around her, and those palace attendants have nothing to say about waiting for such a queen, although they are all aware of Gu Ruoli's orders, and have the mission of secretly monitoring her, they are reluctant in the end, so they were driven by Yongqing and just went down to rest, and the four of them were able to get along alone and say a few words of confidant.

Zhao Dezhao said with red eyes: "The second uncle has become suspicious of us, and now I seem to be free, but in fact I have been placed under house arrest, no matter where I go, there are people from the second uncle who follow." It is even more difficult for Niangniang, Defang and Yongqing sisters to have the opportunity to meet each other, if it weren't for Niangniang's serious illness, I wouldn't have had a chance to meet you. ”

Zhao Defang said hatefully: "Not to mention the eldest brother, even a child like me is not seen to death by the palace attendants in that class, I can't go outside the palace, I stay in my courtyard all day long, and when I look up, I only see that corner of the sky, and there is no doubt about the prisoners." ”

Empress Song smiled bitterly: "Now I am looking forward to getting sick, only when I am sick, the official family has no excuse to prevent my mother and son from seeing each other." ”

She took Zhao Defang's hand, and said with red eyes: "It's nothing to me in the Forbidden Palace, I'm a woman, where else can I go, but you are young, how can you be good?" Defang, I see that you are all okay, my heart is much more steady, you can't stay in this place for a long time, the official family is obviously suspicious of us, if he has bad intentions towards us, the disaster will come, and the death of this palace is not a pity, but if you have three long and two short, I ...... How can I go to see your father under my nine springs. ”

Speaking of this, she was already in tears, and Yongqing said angrily: "What's the use of saying this, you don't care, he even looks at me to death, I can't see anything now, I can't hear anything, so what's the difference between being dead and dead?" ”

She glanced at Zhao Dezhao and said: "I expected the eldest brother to return to Beijing and punish the rebellion, who knew that as Yang Hao expected, the eldest brother could not command those arrogant soldiers at all, and now our only hope is only Yang Hao, he has gone to the Western Regions, and he has the power of the army in his hands. ”

Queen Song said: "But...... We don't know what his situation is in the northwest now, and we are stared at by a bunch of eagles and dogs all day long, not only can we not find out the slightest news about him, but we can't communicate with him, what can we do when we are trapped here? ”

Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang looked at each other gloomily: if Zhao Guangyi is in the hands of Zhao Guangyi today, he, the emperor, has sat firmly, what power do they have to change the situation with their orphans and widows?

After a long silence, Princess Yongqing suddenly jumped up, her eyes shining: "I have a way." ”

Empress Song, Zhao Dezhao and others said in unison: "What's the way?" ”

"Monk!"

"What?" Several people were shocked.

Princess Yongqing said: "There were many precedents for many princesses to become monks in the previous dynasty, and many of them were to avoid the trouble in the royal family, they could, and I naturally could." Now I am watched very closely, like a prisoner, and it is impossible to move an inch, but if I become a nun and follow the old practice of the previous dynasty, I will have to leave the palace and live in the temple.

No matter how good he is, he can't make many eyes and ears stare at me all day long, you have also seen that although those palace servants are now on the mission of monitoring us, but in such a hard day, they are all reluctant, so they can be lazy, if I leave home, the life will be even more difficult, although it is inevitable that there will still be eyes and ears secretly watching me, but their actions in the temple must be restrained after all, and my situation must be much more relaxed than now, besides...... There are many believers and pilgrims who come and go endlessly, as long as you look carefully, you are afraid that you will not find a way to communicate with the outside world? ”

Empress Song exclaimed: "By all means, the official family is about to marry you and marry you to the third son of Wei Xianggong, if you marry someone and become someone's daughter-in-law, you may not be able to recover your freedom." This is what is happening in front of us, can't we wait? But if you become a monk, won't you have to be an ancient Buddha with green lights and a long companion of scriptures in your life? ”

Yongqing sneered and said, "Grandma found me a good husband!" I heard that Wei Xianggong's precious son, the third son of the dignified Zaifu family, is a rare miser in ancient and modern times, and he is famous for his stingy methods of cherishing money. Wei Xianggong passed away six years ago, and all the real estate and fields left behind were occupied by him as a future colt, and he did not share them with his brothers and nephews at all.

occupied the inheritance, he only went in and couldn't leave, refused to provide for the life of the clansmen, and his family was still fighting lawsuits with him, and the neighbors and villagers despised him as a person, such a thing, I was unwilling to marry him. It's just that this family affair was set by my grandmother herself, and my father was filial and refused to disobey my grandmother's wishes, and always told me that even if he was not good to the world, he would not treat me badly, and he did not agree to destroy the marriage.

At that time, I had no choice, and I couldn't become a monk because of this, but now it's different, my family is in danger, what is the future of Yongqing alone? I became a monk and killed two birds with one stone. Otherwise, I heard that the rules of the Wei Xianggong family are stricter than the royal family, I really want to marry, and I can marry a husband who is not ashamed, how can I have the opportunity to communicate with outsiders in such a family? ”

Empress Song and Zhao Dezhao looked at each other, unable to make a sound, Zhao Defang was still young, he didn't know much about the monk, and he didn't understand what it meant, as soon as he heard that the future brother-in-law was so disgusting, this was the only way to get news from the outside world and communicate with Yang Hao, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "I agree, my sister is so smart, let's do it." ”

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many monks, and among Zhao Yiyi's six daughters, two became nuns and one became a layman at home, but today's history has obviously changed, and Princess Yongqing became the first bhikshuni among the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty before the unborn Zhao Jiong's eldest daughter, Princess Suiguo.

Princess Yongqing had made up her mind, and immediately took out a pair of scissors from the bedside makeup box, and cut off a lock of hair with a click, and Queen Song lost color and said: "Yongqing, why are you so reckless, let's discuss it again." ”

"What else is there to discuss? Xiucai sits and talks about the army, after all, it is difficult to achieve a big thing! ”

Princess Yongqing said in a deep voice: "I said to him, Daddy died, Yongqing was sad, there was a thought of being out of the dust, but now Niangniang can't afford to sink, Yongqing feels more impermanence in life, I am willing to cut my hair for a nun, the ancient Buddha of the green light, chanting for my father, praying for the blessing of my mother, and praying for peace for all the people in the world." Whether he should or not, Yongqing will be a monk from now on! ”

After that, it was cut down again, and a lock of hair fell to the ground......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "The Qiang, Tubo, Hui, Khitan, and Han tribal villages that have taken refuge in Benshuai, according to their numbers and living habits, or herding or farming, demarcate the area as soon as possible, and register at the same time, and you will do it yourself." ”

"Yes."

After Yang Hao finished speaking, he said with some anxiety: "Big brother is inconvenient, so ...... running around like this"

Ding Chengzong smiled: "This is very good, the busier I am, the more I will feel that I am not a useless waste, not to mention that this is doing things for my own brother." ”

His complexion was really good, and his demeanor gradually recovered the majesty of the former Ding Chengzong, Yang Hao was very pleased, nodded, saw Ding Chengzong out of the handsome hall, turned around and said to the secretary Lin Pengyu: "Lin Lao, you are responsible for recruiting soldiers." In addition to recruiting a standing army, children from the age of seven and under the age of fourteen in each tribe should also undergo regular military training, which is very important. ”

Lin Pengyu raised his head from a large pile of file documents that were being processed and agreed.

"Xiao Yu, when will they arrive in Dong'er?"

Mu Yu said: "My sister is leading the army to personally protect the four ladies are coming, and they will probably arrive in Yinzhou the day after tomorrow." ”

"Very good!"

Yang Hao raised the case: "Mr. Fan, the weapons and grain stocks in the Jiezhou Treasury should be cleared as soon as possible. After the war, there are many lonely and widowed women in the city, and the elders of the township can try their best to match, so that they can rely on both men and women, and they can no longer do something to make a living, and the township officials in each lane are responsible for taking care of them. ”

Fan Siqi, the envoy of Yingtian, and Qin Jiang, Lu Yuxuan, Xi Chuyun, and several other officials in charge of civil affairs were discussing the matter around a book case, and when they heard this, they hurriedly agreed: "Although the captain can rest assured, this matter has already been arranged by the officials, and he will personally inquire about it later." ”

At this time, Ye Dashao put an eagle on his arm and rushed in: "Captain, Tokyo Secret Letter." ”

The people who were busy in the hall all raised their heads and looked at Yang Hao, Yang Hao frowned, hurriedly took off the bamboo pipe under the eagle's feet, checked the seal, took out the letter, and found that the letter was written in the military secret language of the highest machine, Yang Hao hurriedly asked Mu Yu to take the secret book, and personally deciphered it sentence by sentence, and slowly straightened his waist after reading it, with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the hall was quiet, everyone was looking at him, Yang Hao laughed and said: "What do you see, there are many things to do, all of them do the things in hand with their hearts." After saying that, he asked Mu Yu to break the fire, shook it in the wind, lit a fire, and burned the thin silk clean.

At this time, more than 100 horsemen escorted seven or eight carts towards the northern city of Yinzhou, and the towering Yinzhou City in the distance in front of him was already impressive. In front of him sat in a car Cui Dalang, in his hand, also holding a thin piece of silk, carefully looked at it for a long time, Cui Dalang took the fire to burn the silk, muttered to himself: "This Yang Hao, has such the ability to anticipate things like a god?" They...... Sure enough, I had the idea of escaping from Bianjing......"

Cui Dalang was amazed by Yang Hao's ability to foresee this matter, but his attention was mainly focused on how much benefit this matter would bring to the people he supported. Cui Dalang gently tapped the board of the small couch in the car, pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "But ...... Yang Hao is a hundred secrets, or rather...... His heart wasn't hard enough. If you want to call on the subjects of the old Tang Dynasty, that person may not be alive; If the old Tang Nengchen is to be used by him, that person can't live; It is enough to have his son. I'll be the one who is wicked. ”

There was a hint of murder in his eyes, and he picked up his pen, took a piece of silk, wrote a "ghost drawing talisman" that no one could understand, carefully stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and tied it firmly under the eagle's feet.

When the goshawk spread its wings and flew up, another eagle also flew up from the city of Yinzhou...... The Yinzhou Defense Embassy and later the Qingwang Mansion have now become Yang Hao's marshal mansion.

Yang Hao left the Shuaifu and inspected the Yinzhou City that was being rebuilt and strengthened with Li Yide, the judge of Yinzhou who he personally appointed, and saw that the city was being strengthened by using the original defense facilities, and the progress was rapid, so he couldn't help but nod happily. He looked around, turned his head to Li Yide and said, "Master Li, everything has been too busy in the past two days, and I haven't had time to see that person, what is the situation of that person now?" ”

Li Yide knew who he was talking about, so he smiled and said: "On the orders of the Tai Lieutenant, as soon as the subordinate got his hands on it, he immediately transferred their father and son and their subordinates to my Li family's deep house. ”

Yang Hao said happily: "Very good, Miss Zhe has vaguely heard that such a member of the Han Kingdom who helped King Qing defend the city also asked me, and I prevaricated." Although Liu Jiye protected the Han Kingdom and had no contact with the old house in Linzhou, they were a family after all, and his wife was the sister of Fuzhou Zheshuai. ”

Li Yide smiled and said: "Taiwei has a heart of love for talent and wants to ambush this person?" ”

"Not bad."

Li Yide sighed and said: "He is the eldest son of the Yang family in Linzhou, but since he has supported the Liu family of the Han Kingdom, he will never have contact with his own family, his loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, such a person, it is difficult to make him return to his heart." Moreover, although he no longer has contact with the Yang family in Linzhou, he has an inseparable relationship with the Yang family, and if he refuses to return to Taiwei, how to deal with it will be a headache. ”

Yang Hao actually has a plan in his heart, for Yang Jiye, a famous general, he has made up his mind to recruit, but he also knows that if he wants this person to return to his heart, it is not to follow the big-eared thief to solve it by looking at the thatched house, Yang Jiye is like Guan Yunchang, who is righteous and thin, Cao Apu is not bad for him, and in the end, he is not killed back to the eldest brother after five levels and six generals.

Yang Jiye is not a person who goes all the way to the black, I remember that in the record about him, this person also persuaded the lord to abandon the city and surrender because he saw the power of the Song Dynasty, in order to protect his wealth and life, but the lord Liu Jiyuan refused, so he swore to protect the city. Until the city was broken, Liu Jiyuan was captured alive by Song Guosheng, and sent people to persuade Yang Jiye to surrender in front of Yang Jiye, who was still fighting to the death, he abandoned the blade, cried and worshipped, and surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is just a record in the history books, Yang Hao has been in this era for a long time, and he already knows that not only many folk rumors are unrecognizable, but also the official history books, but also the mistakes of the original dynasty, and the wrongs of the previous dynasty, there are many untruths, whether these records are completely true, he does not know. Because of this, he still holds on to the hope of what happens.

If Yang Jiye was really loyal and righteous, and would rather die than surrender, then he would not have killed this person. Once he is killed, he will plant a time bomb between himself and Zheyang and the two domains, which will do more harm than good, not to mention that he knows his fate, he may not have the opportunity to recruit this person in the future, even if this person's final outcome is still returned to the Great Song Dynasty, what determines the fate of the northwest is whether he Yang Hao's strength is strong or not, and whether he can make full use of the contradictions between the Song State and the Khitan, there are many famous generals in the Song State who are not inferior to Yang Jiye, and he is not afraid of another opponent. When Li Jiqian was unshakable in the Central Plains, he still succeeded in establishing his own power in Western Xia, and he was not as good as a barbarian?

After listening to Li Yide's words, he only smiled slightly and said, "You have to try it to know, let's go, I'll go see him." ”

The two of them got off the city, boarded the war horse, and wanted to rush to the old house of the Li family, but suddenly a personal soldier of the Shuaifu came on a horse, and hurriedly dismounted when he arrived, and saluted with his fists: "Tai Lieutenant, Cui Da Lang has arrived at the Shuai Mansion and brought a guest with a high nose and deep eyes, dressed in white, and asked to see the Tai Lieutenant." ”

Yang Hao now has to use money everywhere, and he has to use the power of the heir hall to borrow money, when he heard that Cui Dalang had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, as for who the guest was, he didn't care about it. Yang Hao smiled at Li Yide and said: "Hehe, a guest is coming, that person is not busy, I will go to meet this distinguished guest first."
