In the Linshuo Palace.

Zhou Zhou strode up to the hall and said to Li Chongjiu: "Weichen Zhou Zhou knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”

Li Chongjiu saw his chin and said, "Flatten, sit down." ”

"Thank you."

Li Chongjiu asked, "How is Liaodong County doing?" ”

Zhou Zhou said: "Back to His Majesty, since His Majesty broke Pyongyang and captured Gao Jianwu. I'm a big Zhao Wei Zhen Liaodong. The barbarians of the Quartet are all subdued, originally the border of the Liao River, attached to the Goguryeo of the Shen Ya, the Khitan tribes, now most of them have crossed the Liaoshui and defected, a few hundred a day, more than a thousand. In the past three months, we have taken in 50,000 people from the Khitan tribe. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "This is very good, for the people attached to it, we must treat them very well, so that they can get benefits, live a stable life, and naturally defect to our Khitan, and there will be more and more of the two parts of the Khitan." In this way, the power of Goguryeo will weaken day by day. ”

Zhou Zhou arched his hand and said: "Weichen understands that Weichen let the unified army break through and directly incorporate the Yan Yan into the Liaoxi Yan Yan, while the Khitan people are digested by our Da Zhao himself." Among these 50,000 people, 20,000 are strong, and as long as His Majesty gives an order, they can cross the Liaoshui at any time and launch an offensive against Goguryeo. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "There is no need to worry about this for the time being. Our army's forces are concentrated in the south, and the north is still dominated by stability. ”

Zhou Zhou said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been spying on the Goguryeo military situation in recent years, and I heard a head of the Emperor who took refuge in my Dazhao that Yuangai Suwen has always led the army back to Pyongyang and fought for the throne of Goguryeo, but because of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in Wuhuan and the two cities of White Wolf, I dare not move lightly. ”

"Wechen has a plan. You can negotiate with Yuangai Suwen of Liaodong City, and just say that our Da Zhao supports his return to Pyongyang. During the struggle for the throne of Goguryeo, our Zhao army will not cross the Liaoshui during this period. Behind the attack, but ask him to cede all the five hundred miles of land near Gaimu City to Zhao State. ”

Li Chongjiu listened to Zhengse and said: "This is a clever plan, so that our army can get 500 miles of land without spending a single soldier, and can force Goguryeo to kill each other, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou and nodded, thinking that this person is really talented, but he has managed Liaodong County in an orderly manner in half a year. I even heard that the other party also persuaded Zhou Bo to open a new voyage between the Sancha River estuary and Liaodong County.

Let's get supplies from Yukyo. It was possible to trade with Liaodong County by sea through a steady stream of guò seas. In less than half a year, Zhou Zhou had already applied to himself that he could set up another county in Liaodong County to facilitate management. What's more, this time he ordered the 50,000 people of the two Khitan divisions to attach Liaodong County, which greatly strengthened the power of Liaodong County, and its strong troops were about to catch up with the Songmo Protectorate.

And this is only half a year, Zhou Zhou only served as the county guard of Liaodong County for half a year.

Li Chongjiu secretly said that it was a pity, and said: "Zhou Aiqing has been sitting in Liaodong for me for half a year. The credit is not small, this time you broke Goguryeo and collected 50,000 Khitans, and you have made a great contribution to the people of the Ya tribe. I don't even know how to reward you. ”

Zhou Zhou stood up from the chair and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen serves His Majesty, but he is to display the ambition in his chest. If it weren't for His Majesty's appreciation, Zhouzhou would still be a small people in the countryside today. In the shadows. ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Where, if there is merit, it will not be rewarded." Didn't I let outsiders say that my rewards and punishments were unknown? ”

"Well, you have just been promoted to the county guard, if I promote you again, I will inevitably be criticized by the government and the opposition," Li Chongjiu seemed to think about it, "Why don't I reward you with a family affair like this?" ”

Zhou Zhou suddenly changed color when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not yet had the idea of marrying a wife. ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Don't shirk yet, I won't treat you lightly, you also know that Empress I'm the mother's family is the Lanling Xiao family, Xiao Niangniang, there is a niece who just came from Jiangnan to join her." How about I want to betroth him to you? ”

Speaking of which, Li Chongjiu carefully observed every expression on Zhou Zhou's face.

Zhou Zhou was a little at a loss when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen really didn't think about getting married." Lanling Xiao is a big valve in the south of the Yangtze River, how can Weichen be worthy of being from a humble background? ”

Li Chongjiu said angrily: "The queen is the daughter of the son of heaven in the previous dynasty, and when the queen married me, she didn't dislike me. You are my feudal official, but I am afraid that the Lanling Xiao clan will dislike it, and it is really a shame for me to say it, this reason is not good. ”

Zhou Zhou lowered his head when he heard this, and said abruptly: "Your Majesty, Weichen really can't agree. ”

"Bastard," Li Chongjiulong said angrily, "I gave you a marriage with good intentions, but you didn't appreciate it, and dared to refuse my kindness, don't think that you have my favor, you can't do anything, I can praise you at the beginning, and today I can also let you fall to the bottom!" ”

Li Chongjiu's words were full of coldness, and Zhou Zhou's forehead was sweating, but when His Royal Highness knelt down but did not speak.

Okay, when it comes to this, he is still obsessed, Li Chongjiu asked with a straight face at this time: "You insist on refusing so much, do you have someone else in mind?" ”

Zhou Zhou listened to the shock of his body and said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen is a favorite woman." ”

Li Chongjiu was even more angry when he heard this, but his face was lenient and said: "So there is a reason for you, you might as well say that person's name, you are my important minister, no matter which woman it is, I will find a way to fulfill you." ”

Zhou Zhou said: "Thank you, but Weichen doesn't know where the woman has gone now." ”

Li Chongjiu was surprised: "How could I not know where to go?" ”

Zhou Zhou said: "When Weichen met this woman, he didn't say a few words, and he met a few times, but for some reason, from then on, Weichen thought of her day and night. At the moment, she doesn't know where she is, if Weichen doesn't have an official position, she will find this girl no matter where she goes. ”

Li Chongjiu asked in a deep voice, "What is this girl's surname?" ”

Zhou Zhou said: "Your Majesty, this girl's surname is Qiao Yuexin, and she is the daughter of Donglai County Shou. It should be in Gangnam now. ”

"Is it for the sake of this woman that you refuse my kindness? Don't even want an official? ”

Zhou Zhou lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the bell of love, life and death promise!" ”

Li Chongjiu's eyes were cold, and at this time, the chamberlain knew that it was not good, and was about to run to the harem to invite the queen.

At this time, there was a humane outside: "Your Majesty Xià Feng Wen Si Secret Performance." ”

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath and said, "Zhou Zhou, you step down first, and I will discuss this matter with you later." ”

After Li Chongjiu finished watching the secret recital, he said: "Immediately summon Lin Dangfeng, Ji Chuan, and Zhang Xuansu to come." ”

Here in the harem, Emperor Yang E, and Mu Deyun have already learned about the palace.

Mu Deyun said with a smile: "This Zhou Zhou is really a man with character, I'm a little curious." ”

Emperor Yang E shook his head and said: "There is a character, but it is not a good thing to be too sharp, this person has always been strong, and everyone in the officialdom said that this person is Xiao Wei Zheng, when he was in the county examination, he directly reprimanded the government, I thought that after several years of experience, he would divide the weight, but I didn't expect that he would still do his own thing, and he didn't know the general situation."
