Chapter 41 Jiangdong Erqiao

"Sir! Is it a bit inappropriate for us to come to see the lord at this time? And this is the lord's family matter. If we intervene in it, it will probably cause the lord to be unhappy!"

In addition to Zhang Zhao, there were Xu Xuan, Chen Jiao and Xi Zhicai in the hall. Xu Xuan moved his body on the soft couch and said uncomfortable.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he opened his eyes and said lightly: "The lord defeated Yuan Shu, and his great cause will be successful. He is responsible for the success or failure of Yangzhou's great cause. Family affairs are state affairs. We are the lord's ministers, so we naturally have to make up for his shortcomings. What's wrong with giving advice?"

Xu Xuan was stunned when he heard this and glanced at Chen Jiao and Xi Zhicai. They both knelt down on the soft couch, as if they were already wandering in the void and had no reaction.

At this time, footsteps came from outside. Gao Cheng changed into a white brocade robe, with a golden crown on his head, and walked in the dragon and tiger steps. He entered the hall. Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Xu Xuan, Chen Jiao and others quickly stood up to pay their respects.

"I've seen the lord!"

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "None of them are outsiders, please be exempt from gifts!"

He stepped forward and sat in the head, glanced at Zhang Zhao, and asked, "Zibu, I wonder what you are asking for a meeting this time?"

Zhang Zhao looked calm and immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My subordinates are here for the lord's great cause! The lord is now nearly thirty years old. He has been fighting for the north and south for ten years. He has few civil and military strategies in the world. However, such a great cause is all about the lord, which will make the people under his ruler worry, fearing that once the lord has something unexpected, no one will inherit the great cause!"

When he said this, Zhang Zhao leaned over and bowed, "So Zhang Zhao came today just to ask his lord to get married as soon as possible, so that there will be successors in the great cause, so that Yangzhou civil and military officials and millions of people can feel at ease!"

As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Xi Zhicai, Xu Xuan and Chen Jiao also stood up and said together: "Please ask your lord to get married as soon as possible!"

As soon as everyone finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent. Gao Cheng's eyes swept over these subordinates, and he couldn't help but laugh. He thought Zhang Zhao had something big.

Even if Zhang Zhao doesn't say it, Gao Cheng is ready to get married as soon as possible. After all, no matter in any world, as a prince or emperor, he must have children to inherit his status.

Gao Cheng was not opposed to this. He already had two concubines, Gan Mei and Diao Chan. They were peerless in appearance, but their identities were too humble to be candidates for their proper wives.

"Zibu, Zhicai, you all get up! I agree to this!" Gao Cheng said.

Zhang Zhao was shocked. He thought the lord was angry, but he didn't expect it to be so reasonable. He hurriedly said, "Lord is wise! I heard that the Qiao family in Lujiang is in his age, gentle and virtuous, and unparalleled. He is the lord and his good match..."

"Brother Zibu, the Qiao family is still in decline and has not helped the lord's great cause. It is better to propose marriage to the Mi family. The third lady of Mi family is in Shouchun! Moreover, the head of the Mi family, Mi Zhu, is also a friend of the lord for many years, and has made many contributions to Yangzhou. If the lord and Mi family merge into a family, wouldn't it be great to have a relative?" Seeing this, Xu Xuan quickly interrupted Zhang Zhao's words.

The Qiao family in Lujiang is a famous family in Yangzhou. Its power has declined and its reputation has not yet fallen. It was because of this that Zhang Zhao wanted Gao Cheng to plead with the Qiao family and show kindness to many families in Yangzhou.

Xu Xuan and Mi Zhu have had some friendships over the years and have some selfish intentions in their hearts, wanting to make Mi family gain a more stable foothold in Yangzhou. Of course, what he said is somewhat reasonable. After all, Mi family is a famous businessman in the world. After marrying the third lady of Mi family, Gao Cheng will be able to get Mi family's help.

Chen Jiao and Xi Zhicai did not speak. As long as the lord got married and had an heir, it didn't matter whether it was Qiao or Mi.

"Big Qiao, Mihuan?"

Gao Cheng's heart was slightly moved. After all these years, the little girls have become young girls and are all famous beauties in history. He thought about it and agreed with Zhang Zhao's opinion.

"Just let's go to Qiao family in Lujiang! Zibu, please go to Wan County on my behalf and ask the head of the Qiao family!"

Xu Xuan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but Zhang Zhao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I will receive the order! But... Qiao's family has two girls, both of them are beautiful. I wonder who the lord intends to?"

Gao Cheng waved his hand, laughed, and said, "Since they are two, then we will marry them!"

Forehead!

Zhang Zhao was stunned, but he quickly realized that two were just two. With the current status of the lord, marrying all the Qiao sisters was not considered as insulting each other.

...

Zhang Zhao was very fast. In less than two days, he took a boat from Shouchun to Wan County. Then he discussed with the head of the Qiao family and convinced the other party. Then he prepared to receive the lottery and asked for good luck.

When news that Gao Cheng was about to marry the two daughters of Qiao came out, millions of people in Yangzhou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The thing they were most worried about was that "the late emperor started his business but the middle way collapsed." Especially, Gao Cheng now has no children. Once he "collapsed", Yangzhou will split and fall into war.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Cheng's body counts the fate of millions of people.

Not only the people of Yangzhou, but also the civil and military officials under Gao Cheng's command were in this mood. Except for other princes and hostile families, no one wanted to see the Yangzhou army defeated.

As time goes by, the news spreads more and more widely. Even Cao Cao in Yanzhou received the news and sent a gift specially. I wonder if he was thanking Gao Cheng for showing mercy last time and did not capture Cao Ang?

Half a month later, Shouchun City was filled with red fire. Teams of elite guards were lined up on both sides of the street, protecting two sedan chairs into the mansion of the governor. The people along the way were all excited, as if they were attending their family's happy events.

"I didn't expect that Gao Cheng, a thief, had already won the hearts of the people of Yangzhou..." In the crowd, a scholar's face shook slightly when he saw this scene.

Since Gao Cheng unified Yangzhou, appeased refugees, wiped out bandits, persuaded farming and reduced taxes, the Yangzhou power has flourished, these ordinary people have also felt unprecedented peace of mind.

In fact, Zhang Zhao is the one who does these things, but ordinary people don’t care about this and count all the credit on Gao Cheng.

Millions of people in Yangzhou no longer regard Gao Cheng as an outsider, and the morale of the army and the people are all dependent on him. This can be seen from the expressions of these people when Gao Cheng got married today.

"Thief, don't be too proud too early. In a few days, you will be able to turn from joy to sadness!" The scribe hummed softly, and his attitude and expression immediately aroused the ideas of the people around him.

The literati's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated quietly and disappeared among the crowd...
