Chapter Ninety-Eight: Concubine Xuan

After the meeting, they departed

Shang Xiufang, Li Chunfeng, Li Jing, Red Whisk Girl, bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian, Song Lu six people, moved to the deck to drink tea, at this time, it was already afternoon, the river was glorious, only heard the sound of the river slapping the hull and the embankment, the wharf and the city in the distance, the noise faintly came. QīŊ‚⑤、cīŊīŊ

At this moment, another carrier pigeon came down, and there was not much time for Yang Xuanning to receive a small piece of paper.

Yang Xuanning didn't look at it, and handed it to Li Chunfeng casually, and after Li Chunfeng read it, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan's army went to Chang'an, and the heroes of the major clans surrendered one after another, gathering 130,000 troops, and Li Xiuning, collecting 70,000 troops, eight days ago, has conquered Chang'an." Li Yuan established Wang Yang as the emperor, proclaimed himself the king of Tang, established Li Jiancheng as the prince of Tang, and Li Shimin was named the prince of Qin. Li Yuanji, who stayed in Taiyuan, was named the Duke of Qi. ”

Song Lu listened to it and said with a sneer: "The saint is not dead yet, how can he set up a new emperor, his heart can be punished, and besides, the saint has been crowned the king of Tang, and he is still called the king of Tang, it is really shameless." ”

Yang Xuanning sighed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Li Yuan was still called the King of Tang, so he waved his hand and said: "Li Yuanshi is a family, and it is normal for him to have 130,000 troops and 130,000 troops, but why did Li Xiuning get 70,000 troops?"

"The king, Li Yuan raised troops, Chang'an immediately ordered the arrest of Li Yuan's hostages left in Chang'an, including Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning had already prepared, secretly sold the family property, highlighted Chang'an, contacted the anti-Sui rebels everywhere, with only 300 people, collected 10,000 troops, and captured Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, Shiping, and Li Yuan's division, 70,000 troops, after Chang'an, Li Xiuning was awarded the title of Pingyang County Lord. ”

Yang Xuanning was silent, and then sighed and said: "Li Valve is really talented. ”

Truly. Li Yuan himself is a person of great strategy and great wisdom, and none of his children are mediocre talents, no wonder he has won the world in history, and it is really a collection of dragons and dragons, and even women are extraordinary.

"What about Xue Ju?"

"On the king, Xue Ju contacted the Turks, but the Turks refused. Therefore, he led his army to attack Guanzhong. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present took a sharp breath, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl glanced at each other and did not speak, while the bearded guest showed a solemn look: "Xue Ju is really very good at attacking Guanzhong at this time." ”

Yang Xuanning was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around, looked at Li Jing deeply and said, "I heard that Li Qing is a national soldier. When my ancestor was here, he once sat on the bed and said, "Qing should sit here after all!" I wonder what Li Qing thinks about this?"

Suddenly, everyone's attention was on, and at this time, it was raining lightly, and it was as cloudy as silk. Fell on the deck.

Li Jing knew that this was the test, so he stood up immediately, thought for a while, and said: "Li Yuan inherited Yuqing of Qiye, Kechang of the fifth generation, and then became a local minister, Qili, whose family was called the office, and his grandfather Li Hu, the prince of Longxi County of Later Wei. Taiwei, posthumously named Tang Guogong, his father Li Xun, succeeded Tang Guogong, the official residence of Anzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the general of Zhu Guoda. Li Yuan succeeded Tang Guogong at the age of seven. His wife, Dou, is the niece of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so to speak. The family background is very deep. ”

At this time, the rain was misty. Look at the long river. said lightly: "Now that Li Yuan has won Chang'an for the first time, Guanzhong is not stable. 200,000 troops, and Xue Ju according to the land of Longxi, the number of people to 130,000, sent troops to Guanzhong, the two can be regarded as equal, each has a chance to win, but on the whole, Li Yuan's foundation is extremely deep, and Xue Ju is only a small official in Jincheng, therefore, Li Yuan can be defeated, Xue Ju is undefeated, and it will fall apart once defeated, and it will be difficult to turn over. ”

Song Lu was stunned for a long time, nodded and said: "That's true, unless Xue Ju wins again and again, and wins with victory, otherwise, there will be no room for recovery once he loses." ”

He was born in the Song Dynasty, of course he knows the terrible, the most terrible thing about the family is not in its own strength, but in its connections and prestige, as long as there is a certain strength, talents from all over the world will be attached to it, forming a snowball-like trend, and the self-made people have lost a lot in this regard.

Now since Xue Ju and Li Yuan's forces are about the same, Xue Judi's attractiveness, control, and digestion are far from being comparable to Li Yuan, so unless he wins consecutive battles, he is not an opponent at all.

Zhang Zhongjian also stood on his own, and the long river was like a jade belt of Haosen, which should extend to the end of the peaks. Nodding and saying, "That's right, that's right, but, Tang Wang ......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause, now Li Yuan is also called the King of Tang, which is really hard to call.

He also said: "Wang Shangbu's good situation, now the holy army has approached Xingluocang, Li Mi is difficult to delay, if the saint can break the Wagang army and enter Luoyang, then Guanzhong will be shaken, after all, the holy capital is in Guanzhong, and the forbidden army is mostly from Guanzhong, Li Yuan is rare to be handy and control Guanzhong." ”

Song Lu pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang Wang Shichong, at this time, it is difficult to refuse the saint, Li Mi and the saint are at war, it is imminent, we will see it within this month, and at this time, Li Yuan will completely defeat Xue Ju in every difficulty, in this way, once the Wagang army is broken, Li Mi really has no way to escape, who can he take refuge into?"

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "If the saint is in Luoyang, he will be able to close the gate in and out of the customs, of course Li Mi knows that only my family has the most advantage."

Phase, even if Li Mi is unwilling to be subordinated to others from now on, what about the others?

Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl were moved again.

If such a situation happens, then the Wagang army is only afraid that most of them will defect to Yang Tang, like Xu Shiji, Shen Luoyan, Cheng Zhijie, etc., if they all belong to Yang Tang, then Yang Tang's unification of the south will be unshakable.

After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he personally lifted the tea pot, served tea for everyone, and said with a smile: "The king sent people to the south of Lingnan to occupy the city, get rice seeds, widely sown, this Zhancheng rice, high yield, early maturity, drought tolerance, from planting to harvest only more than 50 days, the Ministry of Industry and the production of overturned cars to irrigation, and the experiment to obtain the rice and wheat double cropping system, it is said that the yield per mu can reach three stones, better than two stones in the north, so that the south can be greatly prosperous. ”

The people present were really moved, you must know that the reason why the north has been better than the south for a long time is because the north grows chestnut wheat, so it has a large population, and the south has a lot of rain, but it is the most suitable to grow rice, if it can really have more food than the north, then the population swells and catches up with the north, it is only a matter of time.

"I don't know what the situation is, but please tell me more. Zhang Zhongjian said with great interest.

"Rice is divided into dry water, while paddy fields grow rice, and the yield has increased greatly. This is not a large number of land that can be planted in the north, but to repair paddy fields, but also to build embankments, although the king has a decree, to repair paddy fields for the official assessment, but in the case of not causing public resentment, it is also a long-term time. It will take more than ten years before we can prosper, but even so, our food will increase greatly, and we will be able to use troops in the future. Li Chunfeng said.

Yang Xuanning listened, smiling without saying a word. In other words, in the original history, Li Tang was unified from the north to the south, so the south only evolved naturally, and the Zhancheng rice did not enter the south until the Song Dynasty, and the development of paddy fields was naturally carried out slowly, but even so. In the late Tang Dynasty, the grain in the south was comparable to that in the north.

Now that they have officially introduced and officially guided planting, ten years can be worth a hundred years, and I am afraid that after thirty or forty years, they can reach the southern level of the late Tang Dynasty, after all, as long as the food is sufficient, there is no war. Doubling the population in twenty years is achievable.

This is a posterior that has to be prepared for a long-term confrontation between the north and the south just in case, and it may not really be used, but it cannot be ignored, and it also has a lot of benefits for the present.

Li Jing saw everyone talking idly, but the world evolved after decades of layout. I really admire it in my heart. He said, "The king is indeed far-sighted. ”

"It's good to be thoughtful. But if you rush it, you can do it. The opening of the canal and the conquest of Goryeo are all far-sighted moves, but they are too hasty, so they provoke the people to revolt and give the world an opportunity to take advantage of it. Yang Xuanning waved his hand and said with a smile: "Li Qing is a national warrior in the world, I don't know if I am willing to vote for the widow as a minister, and the widow will make Li Qing a general of the fifth grade." ”

The status of General Zheng Wupin is not low, even if Li Jing defects to Li Tang, he may not have this status immediately.

Li Jing hesitated slightly, and then knelt down: "The minister greets the king, and wishes my king a thousand years old." ”

Yang Xuanning was overjoyed and hurriedly helped him up: "General Li, please get up quickly." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Zhongjian again, but Zhang Zhongjian smiled freely: "Your Majesty, I am a ranger and do not want to be a minister, but I can dedicate the wealth of my Zhang family, which is also tens of thousands of taels, to the king, for the king's use." ”

"In this case, the widow is not reluctant, but I don't know the second brother, are you willing to live for a while, go to Chang'an, and marry Li Xiuning for me?"

Yang Xuanning said indifferently: "I believe that even if Li Yuan can break Xue Ju, but there are Turkic, Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, Dou Jiande and other forces in the north, and there are saints to intercept Luoyang, he will never dare to compete with me at this time, and will marry the princess to me, but Li Yuan has many princesses, and I have only this woman in my eye." ”

When Zhang Zhongjian heard this, he couldn't help but say with a slightly wry smile: "The king wants to marry Li Yuan's daughter, it's just a matter of one sentence, but why does it have to be Li Xiuning? Li Xiuning has a marriage contract with Chai Shao. ”

"This is his business, befriending the widow and breaking the marriage contract is just a trivial matter, just a little sincerity. Yang Xuanning is very interested in Li Xiuning's body, just that, although it is expected that in the future, the two families will fight, but this is none of his business.

Women in this era, in this world, are nothing more than this value, and any woman is no exception.

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes burst into light, and after carefully studying him for a while, he sighed and said: "The king has really changed a lot compared to a few years ago, since the king is intentional, then I will run this time!"

Yang Xuanning smiled faintly, in history, at this time, the south fought against each other, Li Valve according to the danger in the Guanzhong to maintain the situation, Xu Guan Guan's ups and downs outside the Guan, fighting each other, and he was firmly in the position of the overlord, but now the situation is reversed, Yang Xuanning is still a little worse, he can sweep the south, sit firmly in the position of the overlord, and sit and watch the northern heroes fight each other, therefore, let alone want a princess, if it is not for the fear of others gossiping, maybe even Li Yuan and Li Shimin's wives can be sent- If it can really be exchanged for Yang Xuanning not interfering and not taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Yang Xuanning patted Zhang Zhongjian on the shoulder and said, "No."

How does the identity change, the second brother will always be my second brother. ”

Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

At this time, after the rain, the sky was clear, and it was close to dusk, and the dragon boat docked on the special pier, and the others retreated one after another.

The royal car is on the street, hundreds of houses are distributed along the street, in good order, the avenue paved with bluestone is very stable, directly into the inner palace, the trees and flowers are planted all over the road here, and the spring water is introduced to irrigate into a stream, interspersed in the garden residence, forming a small bridge flowing water, pond pavilions and other infinite beautiful scenery, the space is wide and comfortable, and the scenery of the garden in the south of the Yangtze River is very much. It's like being in a big garden.

A little farther out, the pavilion is magnificent, the building is elegant, made of wood and stone, from the eaves to the flower window.

Li Chunfeng left, and waited in a pavilion.

The maid pushed open the yard, and the fragrance of flowers came to her face. I saw that in the small courtyard, full of flowers, the plum blossoms and bamboos on the left and right sides of the wall in the wide wing room are lined with a few sets of rosewood and Taishi chairs, not only finely carved, the parts are connected closely and seamlessly, if the single wood is carved, the back of the chair is also embedded with marble on several sides. The lines are clear and rounded, elegant and beautiful.

"The ministers came to the king. "As soon as you come in, you will make a big salute.

Yang Xuanning came to a long place next to the windowsill of a zither, looked out the window, this high place, the city is in full view, and a little farther away, there is a faint sound of silk and bamboo string music.

"Nothing. Hu Temples in various places, have they all been found out one by one?" Yang Xuanning said calmly.

"Your Majesty, it has all been found out. Xu Xingzhi lowered his head and replied, handing over a stack of documents, Yang Xuanning took it casually, opened it, and saw how many people were in charge of the temple. The number of monks, the number of tenants, and the number of people in the location who have a close relationship with them are recorded one by one.

"Very good, it's really a factory guard. Yang Xuanning praised and said, "How about the establishment of land temples in various places?"

"Your Majesty. All have been renovated. It will be done today. Now there are forty-six Taoist families, which are used by the king. "Another stack of papers. After reading it, Yang Xuanning finally showed a sneer.

"Do you know what happened to Shi Zhixuan back then?"

"Know some. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Yes, Wang, Shi Zhixuan was born in the Huajian faction, is a beautiful son, handsome and elegant, and then has to mend the heavens, his genius is incomparable, the two extremes of the heart of the heaven and the flowers, with the Buddhist heart method combined, it is said that life and death are opposite, and can hide life in death, life contains death, to create an immortal seal method, the four holy monks joined forces, can not be subdued. "The Void reported everything he knew.

Yang Xuanning looked out the window and said with feeling: "That's right, Shi Zhixuan was born in a family, and when he got the secret transmission among the flowers, he was good at painting and loving poetry, and he was romantic for a while, but unfortunately, he and Zhu Yuyan loved and hated inseparably, and broke again. ”

At that time, Shi Zhixuan was the so-called first person in the Demon Gate, and he was about to make a big show and unify the Demon Gate, and at this time, Hu Jiao had secretly supported the re-election of the Son of Heaven to abolish Yang Sui, and he must not be allowed to be so unscrupulous and destroy the plan. Finally restrained Shi Zhixuan for twenty years, can the Qing family know what I mean by today?"

The heart of the void line had already understood something, but it shook its head blankly.

Yang Xuanning shook his head and sighed, his eyes fell on the city, and said: "Shi Zhixuan is too soft-hearted, so no matter how wonderful he is, it will not be a big deal, don't you know that a woman is a woman, and it is just a kind of goods when it is critical, no matter how beautiful it is, it is just a tool to balance interests, and even make a move. Finish. ”

"When the saint goes north to Luoyang, and I unify the south, this woman will come. ”

"Concubine Xuan is the same as Bi Xiuxin, the country is beautiful and fragrant, quiet and dusty, the goddess descends to earth, nobler than the princess, naturally arouses the man's desire to conquer, and the widow even estimates that the concubine Xuan will really fall in love with the widow and give birth to children for the widow, in order to break me with true love, but it depends on whether she has the ability, hahahaha, the widow is really looking forward to the moment when she takes off her dress, lets me play with it, and gives birth to children for me!" Speaking of this, Yang Xuanning was full of joy and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he sneered: "In the future, her affairs, as well as her children, will be supervised by the factory guards, no matter when and where, you must not relax, understand?"

"The minister understands, please rest assured. A chill ran through the heart of the void, and as he spoke, from the will of this disposition, he knew that even if Concubine Xuan had children, she would not have the slightest chance at all, let alone really get a trace of true affection, and her fate was destined to become a tragic character positioned as a plaything.
