"Liaodong?" Zhou Zhou opened his mouth and said: "I heard that His Majesty intends to set up a new Song Desert Protectorate in the Huo'er Shen Grassland?" β
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Your news is very well-informed, yes, the White Wolf City has been built, I decided to set up the Song Desert Protectorate in the White Wolf City, and Guo Xiaoke moved from the right of the Liaodong County Guard to the Song Desert Protector Mansion. I saw that Pi Subu had always been humble in the past two years, and I also agreed to him. β
"Then what does His Majesty mean by letting Weichen go to Liaodong?"
Li Chongjiu said: "After Guo Xiaoke moves to the right, you will be responsible for the vacancy of Liaodong County." β
Zhou Zhou's expression was shocked and said, "Your Majesty." β
Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "This is not a good errand, Liaodong is more bitter and cold than Youjing, and it is still a barren land, and there are conflicts between the Yan and Ding Ling and the Han people who moved from time to time, as well as the exile prisoners, the captured Goguryeo in the past, the Khitan military households, plus the remnants of the Khitan, and the Goguryeo people from time to time to raise troops to invade the country. This time, Goguryeo took our southern expedition to cross the Liaoshui River, killed and plundered 3,000 of my people, and set fire to several villages to the ground. This revenge must be avenged, so the burden on your shoulders is not light. β
Zhou Zhou listened and said: "The more difficult things are, the better, things are not difficult, and they can't show the ability of Weichen, Your Majesty please tell sΓΉ Weichen, what should Weichen do?" β
Li Chongjiu said: "As the county guard, you should first guard Liaodong County, and protecting the territory and the people is the first priority." The soldiers of Liaodong County can be dispatched by you, as for Dengzhou. The naval battalions in the two places of Duli Town were also restrained. I said that I would take revenge, and Goguryeo killed 3,000 of my people. I will kill him 30,000 men. If you let it go, I will order Guo Duhu's Song Desert Duhu Mansion to give you convenience. If necessary, you can send troops to assist you, but the Songmo Metropolitan Protectorate, mainly to assist the Weak Water Prefecture Protectorate of the Wangdu Protectorate to defend against the Turks, you still have to rely on yourself. β
Zhou Zhou listened to the moment and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Chen Tang has a saying, those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away, Weichen is willing to follow Chen Tang's example, and Ban Dingyuan will do something big." However, Weichen asked for direct advice to His Majesty in everything, and there was no need to go through the elbow of others. β
Li Chongjiu glanced at Zhou Zhou and asked, "Why?" β
Zhou Zhou said: "Weichen is reckless. I can't always have a good relationship with Shangguan, so I don't want others to elbow me, and I hope that YiqiΔ can let go and do it by himself. β
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, I will give you this power." Don't let me live up to the trust I have placed in you. β
After hearing this, Zhou Zhou retreated, and his steps were high.
Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou's expression and nodded, and transferred him to Liaodong County as the county guard, firstly, to entrust him with heavy use, clear rewards and punishments, and secondly, to keep him away from Youjing. After thinking about it, he will never have a chance to see Pingping again.
The next day, Li Chongjiu's boat passed through Banzhu Ferry and arrived at Luokou by boat.
Luokou is the mouth of Luoshui into the Yellow River, and Yang Guang has become the world's water transportation hub for Luoyang. The valley and Luo Ershui reach the Yellow River, and the canal is excavated along the old road of the Yang Canal opened by Zhang Chun of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Tracing south from Luoshui, Li Chongjiu can reach the West Garden of Luoyang City by boat. Then take a boat from Xiyuan to Luoyang Palace City through Luoshui.
At the beginning, in order to break through Wang Shichong's Luoyang Palace, Li Chongjiu sent naval warships. Directly from Luoshui into Luoyang.
It can be imagined that Yang Guang's pride went out from the Luoyang Palace City where he lived. No need to walk a step, as long as you take a boat to the north to reach Youjing, you can go south to Jiangdu, avoid the pain of car and horse fatigue, Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal two canals, in one fell swoop will be the entire Great Sui a south and a north through. This Grand Canal laid the foundation for the whole unified Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.
At night, the giant lights on the bow of the ship seemed to be as dazzling as a spark in the sky, and Li Chongjiu lived on the deck, looking at the scenery of Luoshui. Li Chongjiu saw the beautiful scenery of Luoshui, but he didn't want to eat, so he watched the scenery on both sides of the strait on the deck.
As the night deepened, hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Li Chongjiu turned his head to see that it was Yang Ehuang. Emperor Yang E was dressed in a yellow coat and walked over.
"Emperor E!"
Emperor Yang E tied the cloak to Li Chongjiu and said, "The deck is windy, Your Majesty should take care of your body." β
When Li Chongjiu saw Yang Ehuang's expression, he knew that she had forgiven herself in her heart. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be moved from the bottom of his heart and said: "I know, but you look at this Luoshui, when Cao Zhi wrote down Luo Shenfu here, his words were like a shock, and he was like a dragon, and it was also in this Luoshui, the turtle carried Luoshu on his back, and offered Dayu." β
Emperor Yang E said leisurely: "In this way, what you said, when I traveled to Jiangdu with my father by dragon boat, he personally said to me once. β
Li Chongjiu looked at Emperor Yang E's expression, knew that he remembered his father, and smiled at the moment: "This shows that I coincide with your father." β
Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu pointed to his feet and said: "I suddenly remembered that your father opened this canal back then, when from Luoyang to Youjing, if you take No. 6 carriage and horse, the wheels are worn out, and the horses lose weight again, and the journey will take at least 10,000 miles, and it will take three months to arrive. You said that if there is a rebellion in Youjing, the imperial court will send troops to suppress it, and after walking on the road for three months, the soldiers have already become the end of the strong crossbow, where will there be the strength to quell the rebellion. This is the disadvantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers. β
"But now we take a boat, from Luoyang to Youjing, we don't need to run hard every day, sit in the boat, and we can arrive in 50 days. I am able to enjoy this benefit today thanks to the grace of your father. β
When Emperor Yang E heard Li Chongjiu say this, his eyes were full of tears and said: "Yes, I have long been upset about this, and everyone in the world has slandered my father, saying that he is extravagant and rejoicing, but no one has seen the benefits of this Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal." But my father always said in his life that he should be worthy of his own heart when doing things, and don't care what outsiders say. But if your father hears this, he will be happy. β
"Of course I'm his good son-in-law." Li Chongjiu said with a smile, and Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of his other father-in-law, Li Yuan, and his heart was not so comfortable.
Emperor Yang E said: "You will beat snakes with sticks." β
Seeing that the beauty was slightly disgusted, Li Chongjiu stepped forward to take Yang Ehuang's hand, stared into her eyes and said gently: "Right and wrong, at ease in the hearts of the people, even if they are deceived by others within a hundred years, but after a thousand years, someone will come to Zhaoxue." Your father's rights and wrongs, I will give him justice. β
"Xiao Jiu, you."
Li Chongjiu said: "Li Yuan said that the emperor gave your father the emperor's nickname of Yang, which is really disrespectful. Li Yuan is ungrateful, and I will never follow him. β
Emperor Yang E said: "Yes, my father is at fault, but Yang Zi is really disrespectful." (To be continued!)
