Zhou Zun hurried back to the duty room. Just as he was about to ask for leave, an official who he had been friends with before but later alienated him after seeing him being left out came hurriedly over.
Zhou Zun took a step back without trace... holding the inkstone in his right hand, preparing to give a blow to the idiot who ridiculed him last time.
If he hadn't been afraid of being taken advantage of by the emperor, Yang Songcheng and others, he would have gotten rid of this person long ago.
"Shilang Zhou!"
This man came over and smiled like... it reminded Zhou Zun of the face of the old man at home and the old tree bark.
"Shilang Zhou, I heard that Shilang Zhou likes fine wine? I just got a few jars of fine wine from Shu and sent them to you later. Don't refuse. Refusal is not giving me face!"
Um?
Zhou Zun was startled, and the man held up his hand and said, "I'll treat you to a drink later."
After saying that, the person left without giving him a chance to refuse.
Then, an official who used to avoid him like a snake or scorpion came over and said with a flattering smile, "Shilang Zhou, I have to ask you to come to the President to review those memorials!"
Zhou Zun was marginalized by the central government, and his influence was transmitted to the Zhongshu Province. His power was also weakened, and many things were no longer in his hands.
The man in charge of the book, Qin Fen, passed over him and handed the memorial to him.
At first this person was indifferent, but now he was smiling and making Zhou Zun feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Zun knew that something big must have happened!
He had never been so impatient to find out what was going on that he threw away the calmness of the head of the family and said impatiently: "I'm not free!"
"Yes, yes, I will send it back later when I get down to the official position!"
Zhou Zun immediately found an excuse to go out.
As soon as I left the house, Chang Mu came.
Lao Chang's face was glowing red and his steps were vigorous, as if he was twenty years younger.
"Mr. Lang, I'm so happy!"
"What's going on?" Zhou Zun couldn't hold back his heartbeat.
Old, old!
Zhou Zun laughed at himself and looked forward to it.
"In February, my uncle led his army to the north and defeated the famous Northern Liao general Heliandu. He went to Yanzhou and Cangzhou..."
ah!
Zhou Zun covered his forehead, extremely excited.
Ning Xing is in danger!
Zitai was able to do this. No wonder the attitude of the emperor and his ministers changed dramatically today.
"My aunt led three thousand cavalry to raid Ningxing, and their horses leaped under the city of Ningxing!"
Oh my God!
Zhou Zun's body shook a little.
That’s Ning Xing!
The capital city, which had never encountered an enemy army since the founding of the Northern Liao Dynasty, was unexpectedly attacked by his son-in-law!
"Quick! Go home! Go home!"
Zhou Zun hurried home and the steward came over and said, "Lang Jun, I just found out and didn't dare to tell A Lang!"
"Go slow!"
The old man is still recovering from illness. If he gets too excited...
Zhou Zun went to find his old father.
"Why are you back again?"
Zhou Qin said he was disgusted, but there was more joy in his eyes.
Who doesn’t want their children and grandchildren by their side?
"Aye, over in Northern Xinjiang, Zitai led his army to defeat the famous Northern Liao general Heliandu."
"Oh!" Zhou Qin was delighted and patted the bed, "Well done! Well done!"
He said happily: "In this way, the general trend is tilted towards Northern Xinjiang, and the initiative lies in Zitai's hands."
After Zhou Zun waited for him to digest the news, he pretended to be careless and said: "Zitai was naughty and took three thousand riders for a ride outside Ningxing City."
He felt that he said it easily enough...
"oh!"
Zhou Qin covered his chest and stared fixedly into the void.
"Aye!"
"Aye!"
Zhou Zun was frightened and said, "Call the doctor!"
"oh!"
Zhou Qin let out a long breath, "I almost choked myself to death!"
He coughed a few times, spit out phlegm, and suddenly became energetic, "You actually went to Ningxing? This is the first time in hundreds of years. Based on this, who dares to say that Zitai is a traitor?"
The doctor hurried over and when he saw Zhou Qin's face glowing red, he knelt down and cried, "Alang."
"Weeping in mourning!" Zhou Qin scolded: "I'm fine!"
"Isn't it a flashback?" the doctor's disciple muttered, "It looks like it!"
Snap!
The doctor turned around and slapped him, then went in to check his pulse. After a while, he said in surprise: "Alang is actually well?"
"If I feel happy in my heart, it will naturally be fine."
Zhou Qin waved his hand, waited for the doctor to leave, and said to his son: "This is the general trend. I am afraid that Bei Liao will go dormant. Zitai will not be able to live in peace in the future. I judge that he will definitely destroy Bei Liao."
"If he destroys Beiliao, Chang'an will be embarrassed."
"No, it's panic!" Zhou Qin stroked his beard and said, "Think about it, the emperor indulged in enjoyment in Chang'an and shamelessly talked about the prosperous times. The ministers who were called traitors in his mouth were fighting bloody battles on the border.
Destroyed the biggest enemy in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Dalang, don’t think of the people as fools, they are here..."
Zhou Qin pointed to his chest, "They have a steel scale here!"
"The emperor showed his goodwill today and gave Erlang a count."
"The second child of Zitai's family?"
"yes!"
"That's a bit stingy!" Zhou Qin said contemptuously: "Besides, Zitai doesn't care about this either."
"Now that he is in this situation, to be honest, he and the emperor must be enemies for life. There is no need to say anything about loyalty. He just wants to stand on his own in the northern frontier, so that the emperor does not dare to act rashly." Zhou Zun felt that he was probably very good in this life.
It's hard to see my son-in-law again.
As for his daughter, she could travel between Chang'an and Northern Xinjiang. As long as Northern Xinjiang was strong, the emperor would not dare to attack her no matter how bold he was.
But what about the two grandchildren?
It's not appropriate for two people to come together, one must take turns.
Why!
It is a pity after all that I have never met my two grandchildren!
Zhou Qin didn't know that his son was thinking about how difficult it would be for his relatives to see each other in the future, so he said, "But you are not thinking about something!"
Zhou Zun shook his head slightly, "I don't dare to think about it!"
The father and son looked at each other.
Zhou Qin smiled and said, "What if Zitai wants to?"
Zhou Zun was silent.
"Li was just one of the noble families at the beginning. It was just a coincidence that the times created heroes, and then he became an emperor!"
Zhou Qin waved his hand, "That's all."
Seeing that his father's mood was waning, Zhou Zun sighed: "Zitai swore back then that he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life!"
…
"The eyeliners who make the mirror in the world start to spread the word to the outside world from now on."
Inside the platform, Zhao Sanfu said to a group of principals and stakes: "The Duke of Qin once swore that he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life! This oath was made in front of the soldiers and people of Northern Xinjiang, and in front of the governor of Northern Xinjiang, who had the kindness to know him.
Huang Chunhui’s hair needs to be done quickly!”
"Take orders!"
Zhao Sanfu waved his hands and everyone left.
He went to Wang Shou's duty room.
Wang Shou was sitting there drinking tea. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhao is so proud of the spring breeze. Why are you here?"
Zhao Sanfu said: "I came here just to say that the prison gate had people assassinating Yang Xuan. I think Duke Qin is a philanthropic person."
He turned around and went out, and Wang Shou's laughter came from behind him, which sounded particularly cold.
"We are just one pot, hahahaha!"
"Pot! Pot! Anything can be put in it!"
Wang Shou looked ferocious.
Huanghuang appeared quietly, knelt down and said, "Are you going to sit back and wait for death?"
Wang Shou touched his blindfold and asked, "What do you think?"
…
Zhao Sanfu entered the palace.
"I have sent a message to the world, and soon the oath of the Duke of Qin will be spread throughout the world."
The emperor nodded, "The mirror will focus on Bei Xian and Yang Xuan from now on!"
Zhao Sanfu asked: "What about Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get everyone back."
"yes!"
The emperor's fear of Northern Xinjiang had reached its peak at this moment, and Zhao Sanfu was not surprised by any decision he made.
He walked out of the opera garden, stopped, shook his head and said:
"That young man back then is now going to destroy the country. I still have to work hard!"
After leaving the palace, he squinted his eyes, as if he was uncomfortable being stabbed by the sun. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Withdraw most of the manpower from southern and western Xinjiang."
"Then if the two places have different intentions..." His subordinates felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty's intention!"
Zhao Sanfu looked back at Miyagi City and never felt that the emperor was so lonely and weak.
He went to the tavern.
Zheng Yuandong was waiting for him in the backyard.
People were lazily basking in the summer sun. Zheng Yuandong was looking at a clump of green grass in the corner, "Look, these weeds are hiding in the corner without sunlight. They look particularly gloomy and weak, like in a pear orchard."
The one?"
"The emperor was panicked. He mobilized all the people on the stage and ordered me to focus on Northern Xinjiang with all my strength." Zhao Sanfu leaned against the wall and said in a faint voice, "He also named Qin Guogong's second son."
As for the eldest son A Liang, he will inherit the title of Duke of Qin in the future, so there is no need to be ennobled.
"That one won't be surprised!"
Zheng Yuandong turned around, with a cold look on his fair face, "Once Northern Liao is destroyed, where will the Duke of Qin go? Continue north? Fight with those savages? He will turn around and look at Chang'an."
"The emperor ordered the people on the mirror platform to spread the word to the world."
Zheng Yuandong sneered, "Qin Guogong once swore to live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life?"
Zhao Sanfu nodded, "Isn't it ridiculous?"
"It's ridiculous!" Zheng Yuandong said: "Don't forget how the Southern Zhou Dynasty was founded."
Zhao Sanfu said: "When the army triumphantly approached Bianjing, there was a riot in the army at night. Nianshen was inspected in front of the palace and was wearing a yellow robe under his command. At dawn, the army entered the city, and the Queen Mother and the young emperor were trembling..."
"Then the orphans and widowers abdicated, Nian Shen ascended the throne, and the country was established, Zhou!"
Zheng Yuandong said coldly: "If the Northern Liao Dynasty is destroyed by the Duke of Qin, he does not want to change the dynasty, but the civil and military officials in Northern Xinjiang will!"
"Since the power is great and the emperor will definitely liquidate him in the future, why not plot a rebellion and change the master of the country, and everyone will become a hero of Conglong. Everyone is willing to do such a thing."
Zhao Sanfu sighed: "Old Zheng, I feel a little confused."
"Why?"
"Back then, I stood with him on Chang'an City and vowed to protect these thousands of fireworks. But now he is in this situation. These thousands of fireworks will probably disappear under the hooves of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry."
"You are stupid!"
Zheng Yuandong was dissatisfied with Zhao Sanfu's sentimentality, "The general trend is like a tide. Once it surges, who can buck the trend? The only thing we can do is wait for the opportunity."
Zhao Sanfu took a deep breath and said, "I am trying to win over the military generals, but I am worried about alarming the palace, so I am cautious and have not made much progress."
Zheng Yuandong said: "Now that the situation is gradually becoming clearer, everyone in the world is watching Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an. The Duke of Qin leaping under Ma Ningxing City will inevitably cause panic among those people. Some people will turn more and more to the emperor, Yang Songcheng and others, and some people will look for it at a loss.
Backer. This is an opportunity."
"A chance to behead!" Zhao Sanfu said with a smile.
Zheng Yuandong nodded, "Why do people live? Just live. In that case, what's the point of long and short? Live for your ambitions, so that you can live up to this life!"
Zhao Sanfu said: "I do think of someone."
"Huang Chunhui?" Zheng Yuandong said.
"You are too sensitive. To be honest, you are not suitable for being friends!"
"I have no friends!"
"Then what am I?"
Zheng Yuandong looked at Zhao Sanfu, "Brother!"
…
"Father, father!"
Huang Lu hurriedly came to look for her old father and saw Huang Chunhui sitting under the eaves, with his legs stretched out in the sunlight, eyes closed, not knowing whether he was taking a nap or in a daze.
"Father!"
Huang Chunhui slowly opened his eyes, his eyes a little dull, "Da Lang!"
The former military envoy of Northern Xinjiang, the famous general who made Northern Liao helpless and gnashing his teeth with hatred, is now growing old.
Huang Lu suppressed her sadness and said with a smile: "Father, over in northern Xinjiang, the Duke of Qin defeated the famous general of the Liao Dynasty, Heliandu!"
Huang Chunhui's eyes suddenly burst into light, "Yanzhou and Cangzhou!"
"Yes! Qin Guogong captured two places."
Huang Chunhui closed his eyes, "In this way, Lin Jun's three states will become Zitai's food. Ning Xing must be panicked..."
"The Duke of Qin led three thousand cavalry to raid Ningxing and leaped under the city."
Huang Chunhui smiled bitterly, "You're brave! You're so bold! But you're also so happy, hahahaha!"
The long-lost laughter came from the house, and the servants were all in high spirits.
"It is said that the soldiers of the Qin State forced Ning Xing."
"That's a great thing!"
"No, the Duke of Qin let it go at first. He would destroy anyone who dared to touch the Huang family. Now that the Duke of Qin is so powerful in the world, who dares to attack us?"
In the backyard, Huang Chunhui laughed heartily.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing on the roof to the left.
"Someone!"
Huang Chunhui subconsciously pulled Huang Lu and pulled him behind him.
"Aye, back off!"
Huang Lu roared angrily, moved her figure, broke away from her father's hand, and went forward to meet him.
The masked man flying down from the roof raised his hand with a palm.
Huang Lu didn't dare to hide. Once she hid from this man, she could face her father directly. He roared and punched with all his strength.
"There's an assassin!"
The servants were screaming.
The assassin punched Huang Lu away, and just as he was about to fly over, he saw Huang Chunhui turning back into the house. When he flew outside the door, a cold light suddenly flashed in the room.
Boom!
The assassin's dagger and the cold light receded at the first touch, and then the cold light swept out from the room, like a wave, rushing toward his face.
Clang clang clang!
The assassin retreated step by step, and Huang Chunhui rushed out holding a horse spear.
The assassin suddenly took a deep breath, spread his hands, and actually grasped Ma Shan's pole. Then he exerted force, his face turned red, and his eyes turned red.
This kind of secret technique can stimulate vitality at first glance, but it will cause endless troubles.
But in the short term, it can greatly increase its strength.
"Catch the assassin!"
It was boiling outside, and two men flew over the roof.
"There!"
Huang Chunhui let go, and the assassin grabbed Ma Shan's blade. Just as he was about to let go, Huang Lu came.
The assassin turned around and ran without hesitation, flew onto the roof from the other side, and disappeared in an instant.
"Aye!"
Huang Lu stopped.
Watching the old man pick up the horse's stall with one foot and smash it to the ground, his beard and hair were flaring, and he looked majestic.
