Duan Zhixian waved his hand and said, "What words!" That's none of your business! I've long looked at that guy unpleasantly, and without your business, I'm going to settle accounts with him! So, all of that has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about it! ”

Jin Cuilian looked at Duan Zhixian with emotion, couldn't help shedding tears, and said, "Brother Duan is such a person, he is obviously kind to his little sister, but he must not admit it!" Brother Duan is really the best person in the world! Duan Zhixian laughed and said: "My sister has won the award, your eldest brother Duan is just a rough man, and he can't do anything but kill people and set fires!" Jin Cuilian smiled and said, "Brother Duan is too humble! Duan Zhixian waved his hand, "I'm not modest!" I'm telling the truth! ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but touch the feelings hidden in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a wave in their hearts. Jin Cuilian lowered her head with a red face, and Duan Zhixian twisted her neck, looking a little embarrassed.

Yang Peng saw that Duan Zhixian hadn't talked about the topic for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel anxious for him, and said: "You two have gone through so many twists and turns before you can finally meet, don't talk nonsense!" Both of them were so embarrassed that they couldn't say anything.

Yang Peng knew that if he didn't help, he would end up yellow again if he had a good happy event, so he said to Jin Cuilian: "Miss Cuilian, are you willing to marry my brother, Duan Zhixian?" ”

Jin Cuilian was so nervous that her heart was pounding, and Duan Zhixian was looking at her with wide eyes. Jin Cuilian hung her head low, not daring to raise it, she even had the roots of her ears red, and nodded gently. When Duan Zhixian saw this scene, he was as happy as something.

Yang Peng smiled, turned his head and asked Duan Zhixian: "Duan Zhixian, are you willing to accept Miss Cuilian?" Duan Zhixian nodded hurriedly and said happily: "Yes!" Absolutely! After saying that, he couldn't help laughing, and his eyes looked at Jin Cuilian, and he forgot everything else for a while.

Yang Peng smiled: "Okay! Then from now on, the two of you are husband and wife! Jin Cuilian only felt as if she was in a dream, happiness came so suddenly, and suddenly she couldn't help but be afraid, afraid that all this was just a beautiful dream, just like a similar dream she had often had before, she was afraid that she would suddenly wake up from the dream, and everything beautiful in front of her would disappear! And Duan Zhixian was originally very happy, but his face suddenly changed, and he shook his head and said, "No, no!" This thing can't be done! ”

When Jin Cuilian heard this, her face turned pale, and she was so shaky that she almost fainted. Yang Peng angrily rushed to Duan Zhixian; "Zhixian, what the hell are you doing? What's not to do? Don't tell me you've got a woman out there! Even so, that's okay! Jin Cuilian looked at Duan Zhixian, looking like she was about to cry, and said pitifully: "Little sister, as long as the little sister can be around the eldest brother, it is good to be a slave and a concubine!" ”

Duan Zhixian frowned and shook his head: "No, no, no!" You are Zhao Yuanwai's wife, I can't marry you! Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's been a long time, you're worried about this!" This has not been a problem for a long time, then Zhao Yuanwai had already died in the chaos when the Khitans went south! ”

Duan Zhixian showed a look of disbelief, although he knew in his heart that he shouldn't, he still couldn't help but be happy. "Zhixian, you don't have any problems now, right?" Yang Peng asked, Duan Zhixian touched his bald head and smiled, and bowed to Yang Peng: "Thank you, big brother, for your success!" ”

Yang Peng pointed to Yang Tong who was standing next to him and said, "If you want to thank you, thank your sister-in-law." It was your sister-in-law who asked someone to pick up Miss Cuilian. Duan Zhixian immediately bowed to Yang Tong again: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" Yang Tong smiled and said: "Uncle don't have to be polite, you men have to do big things, and I naturally have to think more about these little things at home!" Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and Sister Cuilian is still in Weizhou, so I found it! Otherwise, I, who is a sister-in-law, will be powerless no matter how much I have the heart! Duan Zhixian's eyes showed gratitude.

Yang Tong glanced at Jin Cuilian and said to Duan Zhixian: "Sister Cuilian actually has a deep love for her uncle, and her love is deep-rooted, but at that time, my uncle fled because of the murder lawsuit and was not allowed to meet. Later, Sister Cuilian was forced by life to marry Zhao Yuanwai, but in fact, Sister Cuilian's heart was not thinking about her uncle for a while! Duan Zhixian looked at Jin Cuilian excitedly, and Jin Cuilian glanced at Duan Zhixian shyly, and then lowered her head.

Yang Tong said to Duan Zhixian: "Uncle, if you have a lover and eventually become a family, it can be regarded as fate, but you have to cherish this fate!" Duan Zhixian nodded, hugged his fist at Yang Tong and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will treat Sister Cuilian well!" Yang Peng called Wang Kai and instructed: "Lead General Duan and his wife to their residence." Wang Kai clenched his fists and promised. Duan Zhixian said: "Big brother, I know where to live, and I can't be taken by anyone!" ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "As for your kennel, it's nothing to mix by yourself." But now the situation is different, you are a family person, and you should have a decent home. Duan Zhixian smiled embarrassedly. Wang Kaichao Duan Zhixian hugged his fists and said, "General Duan, please come with me!" Duan Zhixian hugged his fists at Yang Peng and said, "Big brother, my family is gone!" Yang Peng nodded and teased: "Don't forget your brother if you have a wife, don't forget to come and drink tonight!" Duan Zhixian said with a smile; Can't forget! Then he led Jin Cuilian to follow Wang Kai.

Yang Peng and Yang Tong walked out of the small hall, looking at the backs of Duan Zhixian and Jin Cuilian in the distance, Yang Peng said happily: "Yang Tong, you have done a very good job in this matter, I am very happy!" Yang Tong was excited in his heart and said with a smile: "As the wife of the eldest brother, the slave family naturally has to do some things for the eldest brother!" Yang Peng nodded, very relieved.

Yang Tong turned his head to look at Yang Peng, his eyes showed a charming color, and he said softly: "Big brother, stay here at the slave family tonight." Big brother, you haven't been here for a long time. When he said the latter sentence, his tone was full of resentment. Yang Peng's heart moved, and then he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he really treated her a little coldly during this time! Thinking of this, infinite tenderness couldn't help but swell up in my heart, I held Yang Tong's slender hand, leaned down and kissed her red lips, and said softly: "Big brother will accompany you well tonight!" Yang Tong's eyes lit up, he was very excited and happy. Thinking of his son, he smiled and said, "Big brother, let's come and see our son, he can already recite several Tang poems!" ”

Yang Peng was very interested and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being my son, he is smart!" Yang Tong smiled and led Yang Peng upstairs.

Duan Zhixian and Jin Cuilian followed Wang Kai to a mansion near King Yan's Mansion. The two of them couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this mansion in front of them, Duan Zhixian asked Wang Kai: "Wang Kai, are you mistaken!" How is it such a big mansion? ”

Wang Kai laughed and said, "Make no mistake, this is it!" King Yan said that according to Yan Yun's reward and punishment regulations, with General Duan's merits, he could enjoy a mansion of this scale, but General Duan was alone and had a sloppy life before, so he simply put down this reward for the time being, and waited until General Duan had a wife and then awarded it to General Duan. ”

Duan Zhixian couldn't help but be moved in his heart, he was a straightforward and heroic man, and he didn't know what to say, but he made up his mind in his heart that he would give this life to his eldest brother in this life! Wang Kaidao: "The servants and maids in the mansion have already been matched, General Duan and the general's wife can enter the master immediately, and there is no need to prepare anything." Then he walked to the gate, knocked on the door, and a middle-aged slave came out, saw Wang Kai, and hurriedly bowed: "Slave and maid meet General Wang!" "The affairs of this mansion were arranged by Wang Kai personally, so this slave knows him.

Wang Kai turned around and pointed to Duan Zhixian and his wife who came up and said, "This is King Yan's sworn brother, General Duan Zhixian Duan, and next to him is General Duan's wife." The middle-aged slave maid had already received a notice that the owner of this mansion was Duan Zhixian and his wife, and the object of his service was also Duan Zhixian and his wife, so as soon as he heard Wang Kai's words, he immediately knelt down to Duan Zhixian and his wife and bowed: "The slave and maid welcome the general and his wife back to the house!" ”

Seeing this scene, Jin Cuilian was so excited, she couldn't believe that she would one day live in such a large-scale mansion as the general's wife. Duan Zhixian saw that the middle-aged maid was so respectful, he was displeased, and said angrily: "I don't like others to kneel at every turn!" Don't do that again! The middle-aged maid felt a little puzzled, but the master's words did not dare to disobey, and she answered and stood up.

Several people walked through the door, and the middle-aged maid immediately went to summon the other servants and maidservants, and after a while, dozens of servants and maidservants came to the hall to meet the master and the mistress. Duan Zhixian said angrily: "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you have to do!" When I saw you kneeling to and fro, my head was big! When everyone saw that the master was such a straightforward person, they were happy, and they all agreed and withdrew.

Jin Cuilian couldn't help but say: "The slave family feels that everything in front of me is like a dream!" Duan Zhixian smiled: "It's obviously true, how can it be a dream!" I've never had such a good dream! ”

Jin Cuilian couldn't help but smile, looked at Duan Zhixian, and said affectionately: "I didn't expect to be able to be a husband and wife with Brother Duan in this life!" I think the Bodhisattva must have heard the prayer of the slave family and took pity on the slave family, so he helped the slave family realize this wish! Duan Zhixian held Jin Cuilian's slender hand and said with a smile: "That bodhisattva must be Yang Tong's sister-in-law!" Jin Cuilian nodded approvingly, and said with infinite gratitude: "Niangniang's great kindness, I don't know if I can repay it in this life!" ”

Yang Peng was having fun with his wife and son, when Jiang Li suddenly came and reported; "Master, there's news from Chengdu!" When Yang Peng heard Jiang Li's words, his heart moved, stood up, and walked in front of Jiang Li. Jiang Li took out a letter and presented it to Yang Peng with both hands.

Yang Peng took the letter, opened it and took out the letter, unfolded it and read it, with a smile on his face. Yang Tong handed over his son to the nurse, walked over, saw the look on Yang Peng's face, and asked curiously, "Husband, is there any good news?" Yang Peng smiled and said: "It is indeed good news, Yang Guihua and the envoy of Tubo have negotiated, and the two sides have signed a peace agreement, we promise not to use troops against Tubo, and Tubo will cede all the land east of the river to us." "The so-called 'land east of the river' refers to the eastern section of the Yellow River at the great bend in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is twice the area of Qinghai Lake occupied by Yanyun's army. At the beginning of the negotiations between Yanyun and Tubo, the condition was that all the land east of the Tongtian River and the Jinsha River would be ceded to Yanyun, which was very large, accounting for almost a quarter of the entire territory of Tubo, which could be said to be a sky-high asking price. Although Tubo felt that Yanyun was too much, he didn't dare to turn his face, but he just negotiated with Yanyun, Yanyun didn't really want to pass through the Tianhe River and the land east of the Jinsha River, but it was just a sky-high asking price, so the two sides finally negotiated after several rounds of negotiations, and the Tubo side ceded the land east of the river, and Yanyun promised to reconcile with Tubo.

Yang Tong didn't know where the 'Hedong Land' was and how big it was, but he felt that since it was the opponent who ceded the land, it was always a great joy, so he said happily: "This is really a big thing to increase our Yan Yun's morale!" Since the Tang Dynasty, our Central Plains has never been able to force other countries to cede land! The husband can really be said to be the holy lord of the Ming Monarch of the past and the present! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "The land east of the river is not very big, but it is a good thing to be able to take it down without much effort." Yang Tong said: "Husband, this great joy should be told to the entire Yanyun military and civilian people, so that everyone is also happy!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's a New Year's gift for this year's Spring Festival." Yang Tong nodded approvingly. Yang Peng turned his head and handed the letter to Jiang Li, and instructed: "Immediately pass it to the cabinet and let them release this news!" Jiang Li took the letter with both hands, promised and ran down. ……

Luo Yanran and An Qian hurried slowly, and finally arrived in Tianjing New Town before the Spring Festival. Seeing that the city was bustling and lively, there were crowds of people marching and cheering everywhere, and there were noisy gongs and drums everywhere, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised, Anqian asked Luo Yanran: "Sister, there are still a few days before the Spring Festival, why is the city of Tianjing New City so lively?" Luo Yanran also said strangely: "Yes, there are still a few days!" Why is the city so lively! ”

Luo Yanran asked Yun'er to inquire. Yun'er went to ask passers-by, and then rushed back excitedly, and said excitedly: "Miss, I heard that it was the Tubo people who sued for peace and ceded the entire land east of the river!" The people are spontaneously celebrating! ”

The identities of the two girls are very different now, and when they heard this, they were all happy, and Anqian said excitedly: "Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been no foreign defeat and ceded land, I didn't expect such a grand occasion to reappear in the hands of the eldest brother!" The eldest brother is really comparable to the Ming Monarch Holy Lord of Tang Taizong! Luo Yanran also said happily: "No wonder the people are so happy, it turns out that it is for this great event!" ”

Anqian asked curiously: "Sister, you are rich in five cars, do you know what kind of place this land east of the river refers to?" ”

Luo Yanran thought for a while and said, "It should refer to the big river east of Jishi Mountain in Tubo, and it is said that that big river is the birthplace of our Yellow River." If it is a big river, then the land east of the river is very small, equivalent to the size of two Qinghai Lake areas. Seeing Anqian's blank look, he said with a smile: "If what I said is not wrong, then this land east of the river is the area that connects with Jiezhou and Qinzhou." When Anqian heard her explanation, she roughly understood, nodded, then looked at Luo Yanran, and said with admiration: "Sister, you know so much!" Luo Yanran smiled and said, "It's just that I read a few more books." ”

Anqian asked, "Sister, should we go to the palace to see the eldest brother immediately?" Luo Yanran thought for a while and said, "This is not good." Although the eldest brother doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, we can't be too casual, and it's not good if outsiders say that we don't understand etiquette! Ancy nodded sympathetically.

Luo Yanran said to An Qian: "Sister, let's go back first, and then send someone to inform the palace, and then do it according to the response of the palace!" Ancy nodded, "Okay." Then he smiled and said, "Then I'm going to bother my sister!" Luo Yanran smiled: "Everyone is a sister, why be so polite!" I can't ask for my sister to talk to me! Annsy smiled. At this time, a young man passing nearby happened to see the smiling Anxi, and lost his mind, but his footsteps did not stop, and he slammed into a willow tree on the side of the street, screamed in pain, and squatted down.

Yang Peng walked on the city wall with a man in his thirties with an elegant temperament, this man was the envoy of Dali who had arrived not long ago, and it was Duan Zhixing, an old acquaintance of Yang Peng, who had come to pay tribute to Yang Peng, the mighty Yan King. In the past two years, every Spring Festival, Dali will send Duan Zhixing as a messenger to carry many precious gifts to pay tribute to Yang Peng.

Yang Peng glanced at Duan Zhixing, who was frowning slightly, and said with a smile: "Does Lord Duan have any troubles?" Duan Zhixing came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "There is nothing to worry about below?" Thank you Yanwang for your care! Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's good that there are no worries." A person's life is only a few decades, and if you are always troubled by troubles, it is not worth it! Duan Zhixing felt something in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Peng stopped, looked at the white and vast earth outside the city, and said loudly: "There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists!" Duan Zhixing's heart moved, and he said: "King Yan is a hero of the world, and he must be determined to build a glorious empire like the Han and Tang Dynasties?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Since the sky has given me such a powerful power, I can't live up to the heavens' gifts!" Duan Zhixing said: "King Yan is powerful in the world, and Yan Yunjun is brave and invincible!" But if you want to reign over the world, I am afraid that force alone is far from enough! If you want the people of the world to submit, you have to be benevolent! This so-called benevolent person is invincible! ”

Yang Peng said: "The world is divided, even if it can be temporarily peaceful, but war between them is inevitable after all. Just like the former Song Dynasty and the Liao State, both sides actually wanted peace, but for various reasons, they kept tearing up the peace treaty, fighting for more than 100 years, and countless soldiers and civilians were killed and injured on both sides! If Zhao Kuangyin could sweep away the Liao State in one fell swoop, wouldn't the more than 100 years of fighting be exempted? Duan Zhixing couldn't help but be speechless.

Yang Peng smiled, looked at the vast land in the distance, and said: "The so-called great love is ruthless, and the true benevolence and righteousness are not to avoid war, but to eliminate the root cause of war!" And there is only one way to eliminate the root causes of war, and that is reunification! After reunification, of course, there will be no disputes between countries, and wars will naturally not occur! ”

Duan Zhixing's heart moved, and he forced a smile: "King Yan's insight is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!" Although King Yan's idea was very good, if King Yan failed, wouldn't it cause Yan Yun to suffer a huge loss? If the internal and external enemies take advantage of this opportunity to attack, Yan Yun is afraid that it will be dangerous! Isn't that counterproductive? If King Yan can change his course and give up the idea of unification by force, this situation will never occur, and Yanyun will inevitably prosper and become a golden empire in the annals of history! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "If people want to make great achievements, they must work hard, if they are afraid of difficulties and failures, how can they achieve achievements?" It's the same with countries, if a country is afraid of failure and is trapped in a corner all day long, how can it really rise to a powerful empire? The so-called plan is in man and success is in heaven, I will do my best to do it when I live, as for the result, leave it to the will of God! Win or lose, at least I won't regret it, at least this country won't regret it! ”

Duan Zhixing couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart, sighed, and said with a smile: "King Yan is really a hero of the world!" Yang Peng laughed, "I don't care if it's a hero or not!" Later that day, when Yang Peng returned to the mansion, Jiang Li came over and reported, "Master, your sisters are talking to Liu Zhiliang and their wife in the backyard." ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "In this way, then I won't go over." He said to Jiang Li: "I'll go to the armory outside the city to have a look." Jiang Li hurriedly said: "Subordinates accompany the master!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Jiang Li was very happy.

The two of them left the mansion and sped out of the city through the bustling crowd and the bustling streets, surrounded by more than two dozen secret guards and Feifeng female guards. Yanyun's armory was originally opened near Yanjing, and later with the Yanyun army covering the Central Plains, Yang Peng ordered Ling Zhen to build new armory fields in Jinan, Taiyuan, Datong, Yangzhou, Chang'an, Bianliang, Xingqingfu and other most important cities, and then the Khitans took advantage of the opportunity to invade Yanyun's sixteen states, and Yanjing's armory had to be transferred to the south. Later, the Khitans were driven out, and Yang Peng only let part of the staff and equipment of the ordnance yard return to Yanjing, while the technicians and workers who built the warships moved to Huainan, and most of the personnel and equipment that made army equipment were moved to Tianjing New Town. For example, today Jingxincheng is already the most important army ordnance production area in Yanyun, and Huainan has become the most important warship production area in Yanyun. All the factories that produce ordnance and ships in the country are under the management of Yang Zhen, who is the head of the ordnance department, and his deputy is Yang Peng's former assistant, Deng Yang.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
