Chapter 1188 Yang Xuan of Northern Border

The annual Zhao family ancestor worship ceremony is approaching.

On the official road leading to Lu County, you can see some extraordinary people from time to time.

Either riding a horse, riding a car, or walking in the car

At this time of year, people around Guandao will set up stalls to sell food and earn some money to supplement their family income.

Fang is one of them.

The children at home were left in the care of their parents, so he and his wife Wang set up a stall by the official road, selling some cakes and drinks, and the meat was haggis.

“No mutton?”

A middle-aged man who looked polite but was dusty dismounted and asked.

"I'm afraid it will go bad!" Fang smiled bitterly, "The haggis can't be sold out here for a while. It's cheaper back in the village and some people buy it, so you won't lose money. But if the mutton can't be sold out, you can only eat it at home."

"That's true."

The man sat down and said, "Get some pancakes and a bowl of haggis. Remember, the lamb liver should be tender and preferably with a bitter taste."

"You are an expert!" Fang gave a thumbs up.

The man spread his legs comfortably and said, "This place is only about ten miles away from Lu County. You sell food here, so your business should be good, right?"

"Thanks to the blessing of the Duke, now that people have some money in their hands, they are willing to buy some delicious food when they go out. Even if they are reluctant to part with it, they still have to buy it if they see the children around them being greedy. This was something I didn't dare to think about before."

"oh!"

The man's name is Chen Zhen, and he is a famous scholar in Guanzhou.

Ta-ta-ta!

Several riders came slowly.

"Mr. Lang, I'm hungry."

"Hungry, hungry, hungry! You are reincarnated as a starving ghost!"

“We’ve run out of dried meat.”

"Who made you offend your own wife!"

"I smell mutton."

Several riders approached, dismounted, and a man came over, "What's there?"

"There are haggis, cakes, and some wine." Wang said enthusiastically, "They are all the freshest."

"Mr. Lang!"

"That's it!"

A man in his twenties walked over and said, "Bring some pancakes and put more sauce on the haggis."

"Where's the drink?" Wang asked eagerly.

"No more drinks."

The man sat down.

Chen Zhen smiled and cupped his hands, "Guanzhou Chen Zhen, is this also going to participate in the Zhao family's ancestor worship?"

The man nodded, "Mr. Chen, are you from Guanzhou?"

"Exactly."

"Oh! I'm from Northern Xinjiang, but I'm just a reader." The man felt a little embarrassed.

This is where we come to hang out.

When I go back, I can brag to my relatives and friends: I also participated in the Zhao family's ancestor worship ceremony.

Chen Zhen smiled and felt that this man was quite honest. He moved slightly in his heart and said: "Guanzhou is far away from Northern Xinjiang. A few years ago, I heard that Northern Xinjiang was in danger under the suppression of Beiliao. After Huang Xianggong left, the situation changed.

It’s reversed.”

The man smiled and said, "That's right."

Chen Zhen said: "I heard that the Duke of Qin was very good at fighting and used soldiers like a god. However, those who are good at swimming will drown in the water, and those who are good at using soldiers will end up defeated sooner or later if they do not know how to cultivate domestic affairs diligently and encourage farming and learning."

The man smiled and said: "Yes!"

Chen Zhen wanted to test, so he told some details, "I was invited to come to Lu County, so I came to Northern Xinjiang two months early and traveled around. I saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and the army was quite orderly. I was a little curious. According to Chang'an

If we want to mobilize a large army to attack Northern Xinjiang, Bei Liao will take action if we think about it. Why don't the soldiers and people of Northern Xinjiang panic when they are attacked from both sides?"

The man took the haggis and pancakes from Fang and said, "Are you panicking and they won't come?"

Chen Zhen smiled and said: "That's the truth. But after all, the name is not justified and the words are not consistent!"

This is a temptation!

During his travels, Chen Zhen only had contact with the common people. The first time he was almost arrested by the police, he said with disgrace that the people in northern Xinjiang were unruly.

The second time he was actually arrested, he was interrogated and after learning his identity, local officials warned him to be careful in his words and deeds.

Stop prying like a spy.

have to!

From then on, Chen Zhen just watched and said nothing.

This place is more than ten miles away from Lu County. In this place, I want to come

The prestige of the Zhao family can be enough to suppress the government!

Only then did Chen Zhen start talking.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think is a name?" the man asked.

"The name of the emperor is the name of Zhengshuo. And Zhengshuo comes from the achievements of the Tang Dynasty in ending the troubled times. The legacy remains to this day."

These words are very sincere and very insightful.

The man smiled and said: "Tens of thousands of refugees are born in the North every year. I don't know how many there are in the world, but I think the life of the people is not easy now. What do the people want? A stable life, enough food and clothing.

The so-called legacy, at this moment, is it consumed or accumulated?"

The so-called Zhengshuo must have a reason, that is to say, if you want people in the world to recognize you as Zhengshuo, you must have done something for the people in the world.

In the last years of the Chen Kingdom, the world was in chaos. It was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty who ended the chaos and brought peace to the world.

This is a legacy that allows people in the world to regard Li as the lord of the world and the righteousness of the world.

You want to say that I am the ninth generation descendant of the last emperor of the Chen Kingdom, and I want to rebel. You lend me 10,000 yuan. When my rebellion succeeds, I will definitely make you king. Then you will definitely be captured and thrown into prison.

middle.

Chen Guo also had a legacy at the beginning, but after many years of consumption, it has long been gone.

Some are just angry!

This is reincarnation!

It is also the way of heaven.

The man said: "I came all the way from Guanzhou and saw refugees everywhere. I am worried about the local powerful annexing the land. This is considered a waste."

"In northern Xinjiang, you can't see refugees."

"But in the end, people in the world still regard Chang'an as Zhengshuo. If there is a riot in Northern Xinjiang, some people in the world will support Northern Xinjiang, and some will support Chang'an. In this way, people from the Tang Dynasty have become enemies."

Chen Zhen saw that the man was pondering, so he continued: "To be honest, the Guanzhou Army is rotten. I have been traveling in Northern Xinjiang for two months, and I can see the Northern Xinjiang Army from time to time. It is indeed my Tang Dynasty Tiger Ben. I am thinking, if there is a riot

, Chang'an will inevitably mobilize the army from southern Xinjiang to go north, and with the guards of Chang'an, the war is about to break out. No matter who wins or loses, the aliens will get an advantage in the end."

Hey!

This person actually has such a pattern?

The man nodded, "But sir, have you ever thought about what will happen to the Tang Dynasty if this continues?"

Chen Zhen was startled and sighed: "There are more and more refugees, and the powerful are becoming more and more greedy. Fortunately, Northern Liao is weak. Without foreign enemies, if the emperor can work hard to govern"

The man looked at him with a smile and said, "Sir, please speak."

Chen Zhen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My friend in Chang'an wrote a letter and mentioned the situation, saying that the King of Yue is most likely to take over the East Palace. With the King of Yue ascending to the throne, the Yang family of Yingchuan will probably become the uncrowned king. The family will become powerful."

He lowered his head and whispered: "The world is in danger!"

"Sir, have you thought about how to break the situation?"

the man asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head. "Only...that's all, drinking."

This guy has some meaning.

The man is Yang Xuan.

After leaving Tao County, he asked people to pretend to be him, and he led Wang Laoer and others on a plainclothes patrol to the vicinity of Lu County.

There are many people and the goal is big, but he does it quietly and is safe.

He smiled and said: "Bring me some drinks."

"Hello!"

Seeing that business was good, Fang felt happy and couldn't help but say: "Actually, that's what we people are thinking about! Whoever treats us well, we will treat well."

Chen Zhen couldn't help but ask: "What about Zhengshuo?"

Fang said: "Zhengshuo is Zhengshuo, but you, Zhengshuo, can't torment us people, right? Zhengshuo wants to kill someone, can we also let him kill him?"

Wang was fierce and said: "What this gentleman said is justified, but who can those refugees ask for explanation? Zhengshuo almost starved them to death, but the Duke of the country, who was called a traitor by Zhengshuo, saved them. This gentleman said

Say, who should they listen to?"

Well!

Yang Xuan looked at Chen Zhenruo, who was still talking about Zhengshuo. He was a pedantic person and was of no use.

Chen Zhen sighed, "The emperor is high in the ninth heaven. He is too high and cannot see the sufferings of the people! I saw people living and working in peace and contentment in northern Xinjiang. It shows that the Duke of Qin has great governance skills. In addition,

He is aggressive in his conquests and is about to reach Ningxing. Under this situation, the world is probably going to change.

"Sir, do you think this change is good or bad?" Yang Xuan asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head, "Good or bad, it's all the people who suffer!"

Yang Xuan nodded slightly, raised his head and drank the drink, then stood up and said, "Sir, let's go to Lu County too! See you back in the city."

"It's easy to say!" Chen Zhen was in a complicated mood at the moment and he handed over his hand indiscriminately.

In the afternoon of that day, he entered the county seat of Lu County.

"Mr. Chen!"

His friend Dynasty is waiting for him.

The two got together last year, so when they meet again this year, they will inevitably joke about each other being old or having gray hair or something.

"Let's go, I will take you to the reverse journey, and settle down quickly. There will be a banquet later."

"Banquet?"

"Nowadays, there are as many celebrities as dogs in the city." Chao Chao swept himself in and still smiled. "Jia Quan, a famous scholar from Chang'an, hosted a banquet today and invited me to a banquet. I will take you to have a delicious meal."

"It's not good!" He said something bad, but his actions were honest.

Cooking rice is almost a standard skill among celebrities.

The purpose is not to earn money, the purpose is to make friends with some great talents.

After a person reaches a certain level, he will feel a little high-spirited. It is hard to find a close friend, hard to find a close friend, empty, lonely and cold.

Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. A gathering of great talents must be a gathering of similar people.

Maybe you can make some friends by going there?

Speaking of which, Chen Zhen and Chao Chao met at a party.

After checking in first, changing their clothes, and briefly washing up, Chen Zhen and Chao Chao went to the restaurant where the banquet was held.

Restaurants are not extravagant. In Lu County, extravagance would be considered a blasphemy to the old man Zhao Zi.

I remember that when Zhao Zi was studying, he only ate sour flour pancakes, and pickles were considered a feast. Even after he became famous, his life was still difficult.

It is precisely because of his tenacity and determination that he cannot be moved by external things that he has produced those brilliant masterpieces of Zhao Zi.

Zhao Zi's descendants all adhere to the style of frugality. For example, the meals at home are very simple. Of course, behind the simplicity are the various weird tricks that the Zhao family cooks have racked their brains at.

For example, a dish of green vegetables requires more than ten kinds of ingredients, including seafood, river delicacies, mountain delicacies, fine mutton, etc. The Jia family in another world may only be able to catch up.

"It's very simple."

Chen Zhen said.

The lobby of the restaurant is still simple.

But when we arrived at the banquet place, which was the backyard, we saw dancing girls fluttering and the sound of music moving.

The backyard of the restaurant occupies a large area, and it is actually also a place to receive guests.

"Brother Wang!"

Dynasty met an acquaintance.

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Zhen also met an acquaintance, and the two smiled and shook hands.

Then he found a place to sit down.

The owner, Jia Quan, sat at the top, smiling and nodding.

"Jia Quan is quite famous in Chang'an." Wang Chao said in a low voice: "He has some friendship with Zhao Yun. Today's banquet with celebrities is to receive guests from all walks of life for the Zhao family."

This is a good opportunity to make friends.

Chen Zhen was a little disappointed.

However, the food and wine are pretty good. Chen Zhen hasn't eaten well in the past two months, so he plans to make up for it today.

"I came to Northern Xinjiang this time and heard that Northern Xinjiang has expanded its army by 30,000 people." A man raised his glass, took a sip, and said in a serious tone: "Northern Liao is weak, but the Duke of Qin wants to expand his army by 30,000 people. What is his intention?"

"This person's name is Ma Jia." Chao Chao said in a low voice, "He is a famous scholar in Zhangzhou and has good relations with Jia Quan."

"I smell some conspiracy." Chen Zhen said.

Ma Jia said: "Some people keep saying that they will live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life, but secretly they are plotting evil things. People cannot stand without faith. This is what Zhao Zi said. Today in Lu County, I want to ask Qin Guogong what he wants?"

"Yes! Thirty thousand troops, what do you want to do?"

"Since Bei Liao is weak, it should slow down."

"I think this is a wolfish ambition!"

"Yes, I think he wants to rebel!"

What is a celebrity?

mad

Unscrupulous!

Chen Zhen watched these people excitedly attacking Beijiang and Yang Xuan, and finally couldn't help it. He stood up and said: "But after Beili was captured, troops must be stationed everywhere. How can the 120,000 troops in Beijiang be enough?"

Well!

"This is." Ma Jia pointed at Chen Zhen with a look of contempt as if he had neglected his crotch and let this idiot out.

"Guanzhou, Chen Zhen!" Chen Zhen cupped his hands.

"You said that to defend Northern Liao, the DPRK and the Central Government would not send troops to defend it?" Ma Jia said.

This is sophistry.

Chen Zhen said: "Is the DPRK willing to recognize Northern Xinjiang and the Duke of Qin?"

You even said that the Duke of Qin was a traitor. Why did the Duke of Qin give away the captured Northern Liao?

"That traitor!" Ma Jia said calmly, "Mr. Chen, do you want to speak for him?"

"I only speak for justice!" Chen Zhen said.

"You are opening your eyes for the traitor!"

Immediately, everyone started talking.

Wang Chao was stamping his feet on the side, trying to help, but he couldn't even find a chance to interrupt.

Chen Zhen quarreled with a group of celebrities and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this time, the host of the banquet, Jia Quan, clapped his hands. After everyone calmed down, he pointed to the door and said, "You are not welcome here, so go ahead!"

This is an elegant way of saying it.

Take off the elegant coat and it’s just one word.

--roll!

This is humiliating!

Wang Chao's face turned red, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a commotion outside.

Then a man walked in.

The man smiled and said: "I heard that some people say that expanding the army to 30,000 in Northern Xinjiang is an act of rebellion?"

Jia Quan said calmly: "Northern Liao is weak, so why should we expand the army in Northern Xinjiang? Is it not the case?"

Among the celebrities, several covered their mouths.

Chen Zhen recognized this man as the man with whom he had eaten haggis outside Lu County.

Isn't he just having fun?

How did you get in here?

It's not easy to get along here. If you don't do this, these famous people will ruin your reputation.

The man said: "Chang'an sent an envoy to Ningxing to persuade Ningxing to jointly send troops to attack Northern Xinjiang. Northern Liao can still recruit hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition to the Chang'an guards and the Southern Xinjiang army, can Northern Xinjiang be captured without mercy?"

Ma Jia sneered and said: "Why did Chang'an ever send an envoy to Ningxing to ask for cooperation? You are just slandering others."

The man said: "The envoy is Yang Yuan from Zhongshe. When he returned, he felt that he could not bear the injustice of the world and committed suicide with a knife!"

call!

Someone dropped his wine glass to the ground.

"No wonder I haven't seen Yang Yuan for a long time."

Chang'an Guo is asking Ning Xing to join forces?

"That is the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty!" an old celebrity lamented.

Jia Quan asked, "Who are you?"

The man nodded slightly, "Northern Xinjiang Yang Xuan!"

boom!

The backyard immediately exploded.

Wang Laoer came in and said softly: "My lord, there is no danger around."

Jia Quan suddenly stood up and said, "It's the Duke of Qin. I'm Jia Quan. Please invite the Duke of Qin!"

He gave up the throne.

This is Northern Xinjiang. Now that the Lord of Northern Xinjiang has arrived, Yang Songcheng has to get up.

Everyone gets up.

Wait for Yang Xuan to walk over.

Yang Xuan turned his eyes and saw Chen Zhen.

"Mr. Chen."

That young man turned out to be the Duke of Qin. Chen Zhen was also waiting for Yang Xuan to walk over.

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "I have prepared a banquet for you elsewhere. If you don't give up, I will never come home until you get drunk tonight!"
