"Those guards..." Song Zhen thought of Lin Feibao and others, "With those levels of cultivation and their loyalty to you, it's no wonder that Lu met..."
"Qiu Long Guard!" Yang Xuan said.
"No wonder, they are the right age." Song Zhen's eyes turned red, "Cao Ying must have been someone who respected the emperor back then!"
"yes."
"Where's Lao Liu?"
"I just found out, I told him a while ago."
Yang Xuan told a white lie.
Otherwise, the old man will feel slighted.
"Who else?"
"Han Ji, Pei Jian."
"Zhou...Pei Jian!"
Song Zhen was horrified and moved, "An unknown soldier can actually have such a level of cultivation, with sword skills pouring out like a galaxy, and an expert in military use. No wonder! No wonder! But he is a descendant of Pei Jiu?"
"His son." Yang Xuan said: "He was escorted from Chang'an to Taoxian by Pei Jiuren, and he has been living in seclusion under the protection of Huang Xianggong. It was not until Huang Xianggong went to Chang'an that he was entrusted to me."
"Pei Jiu!" Song Zhen shook his head, "It's a pity that it can intimidate the generals of Bei Liao!"
"He died for his persistence and has no regrets."
Life is boring, you have to find a reason to live for yourself.
The reason Pei Jiu lives is loyalty!
He found his way of survival in loyalty and ended his life in loyalty.
"I need to be quiet." Song Zhen obviously needed time to digest the news.
Yang Xuan nodded and immediately left the Song family.
"Mr. Liu?"
Liu Qing was pacing outside with his hands behind his back. When he heard the sound, he stopped and turned sideways, "I don't have much to do today. I thought I'd come and take a look around."
This is because I am worried that Song Zhen and I will break up!
Revealing his identity to Song Zhen was the consensus between Yang Xuan and Liu Qing before sending troops.
But it's hard to predict how Song Zhen will react.
Staying is the most likely option.
But nothing is absolute!
Liu Qing was worried, so he found an excuse to wait outside.
Yang Xuan suddenly asked: "If Song Gong doesn't agree..."
"I will invite him to stay at home temporarily."
This temporary stay will last for at least a few years!
Liu Qing, who was under house arrest as the Minister of War, has lost his reputation, but Yang Guogong is still innocent.
"How...is he?" Liu Qing finally asked this question.
"I'm a little shocked, but I don't think it's a big problem."
"I'll go talk to him."
"That's fine. But...there's no need to force it."
"Worried that I will suffer a loss?" Liu Qing sneered, "I have been in Northern Xinjiang for many years and have never seen any storms! You can go alone!"
Yang Xuan smiled and watched him enter the Song family gate, and said softly: "Yan!"
He Lianyan appeared beside him at some point and said, "Mr. Lang."
"Stare!"
"yes!"
He Lianyan didn't ask who he was staring at. He turned around and waved his hands, and several good players quietly disappeared into the surroundings.
Then Yang Xuan left.
Jielong said: "It seems that the person Lang Jun trusts the most is Mr. Liu."
"Nowadays, Northern Xinjiang is the place that attracts the world's attention. Your whole body is tied to Northern Xinjiang, which puts the safety of the whole world in danger. Being emotional is the worst thing to do!"
He Lianyan knew Yang Xuan's difficulties, and if possible, he would naturally be willing to use his love to impress those around him.
But power!
It’s always about profit.
Liu Qing entered the Song family.
The study door was closed tightly, and Song Zhen's family members laughed dryly: "Alang said to be quiet."
"Jingjing? This special girl still wants to be quiet?" Liu Qing shouted filial piety, "Song Zhen!"
"Mr. Liu..." The old man said awkwardly, "Alang is resting!"
Liu Qing stepped forward and pushed open the door.
Song Zhen sat there, staring blankly into the void.
"Old Liu, tell me, what would have happened if everything had remained unchanged?"
Liu Qing turned around and looked at his family, "Are you sure you want to listen?"
"I'm sure... I won't listen."
As people grow older, the family members say: "Old slave, go to the kitchen and take a look."
"Go for it!"
Liu Qing watched him leave and then entered the study.
"If nothing happened if you were filial to the emperor and continued like this, and Emperor Xuande passed away and you were filial to the emperor and ascended the throne, you would inevitably have a conflict with Empress Wu."
Song Zhen nodded, "Yes! Later, there was restlessness in the palace, and paying filial piety to the emperor would inevitably distract him. However, I remember that he was energetic. I think he could coax Empress Wu while discussing state affairs with the ministers."
"Filial piety to the emperor does not like aristocratic families, and believes that the existence of such people is the moth of the country. The moths will multiply, and no amount of land and houses can satisfy their desires. In the end, they will inevitably stretch their hands to the world. At that time, honor the emperor
You know his temperament, and if he doesn’t get it right, he’ll take action boldly.”
"The world is in shock!" Song Zhen said with a smile: "If we can solve the problem of aristocratic families once and for all, our filial piety to the emperor will be remembered in history."
"But it is more likely that both sides will suffer losses, and then the Tang Dynasty will fall."
"Yes! The Tang Dynasty fell." Song Zhen smiled bitterly, "In other words, in fact, the fate of the Tang Dynasty was doomed from a long time ago."
"Yes, but now I see hope." Liu Qing said.
"Zitai takes Neizhou, this is a carefully chosen opportunity." Song Zhen had just thought about this issue.
"Yes." Liu Qing did not deny it. "Over in southern Xinjiang, Shi Zhongtang is aggressive. It is said that Zhang Chumao is in a bit of a dilemma and can only parry. Southern Xinjiang cannot use it, and Chang'an's methods against northern Xinjiang can only be machinations."
"Over in Beiliao, the eldest princess Changling suddenly came out, catching He Lianchun and Lin Ya off guard. In this way, internal fighting became the instinct of the three forces.
Chang'an is unable to mobilize troops, and Ningxing is still fighting internally. We must move to seize Neizhou quickly, otherwise once Ningxing wakes up, the army will be dispatched..."
"Chang'an will grit their teeth and gather troops to go north, join forces with Beiliao, and destroy Northern Xinjiang!"
The two smiled bitterly at each other.
"With Neizhou captured, Zitai will have no room for maneuver. He can either keep moving forward, or he can only wait for the overall situation to change." Song Zhen was a little worried about this situation. "If you want to achieve something big, you must not have worries about the future."
"The next step for Zitai is still Beiliao."
"Only when Bei Liao cannot pose a threat can the army of Northern Xinjiang head south without any worries."
"Winter is here. Even if Beiliao wants to counterattack, the scale will not be too big. Waiting for next spring, they will definitely launch troops, but I don't know whether it will be in the direction of Neizhou or Chenzhou."
Song Zhen thought for a while and said, "By sending troops to Chenzhou, Taoxian can calmly mobilize the army to flank the enemy. Therefore, I think it should be Neizhou."
"You and Zitai came up with an idea." Liu Qing said with a smile: "If the enemy army attacks in a large scale, Neizhou needs strong generals. Therefore, Zhen Siwen was ordered to stay behind because of his bravery."
"He's a fierce bandit from Northern Xinjiang!"
Song Zhen smiled, "Next year will be full of ups and downs."
"Old Song, what do you think of Zitai's prospects?" Liu Qing suddenly asked.
"Why do you need to test me?" Song Zhen smiled and asked, "Do you know my first thought after hearing about Zitai's identity?"
"Afraid?" Liu Qing laughed.
Song Zhen shook his head.
"No, I can't wait!"
…
Liu Qing thought about Song Zhen's various reactions, but he just didn't expect it to be like this.
Can't wait.
"Old Song, you..."
"You think I'm too ruthless?" Song Zhen asked.
Liu Qing nodded, "At any rate, you have been with him for several years."
"If I hadn't been with him for several years, I wouldn't be so resentful."
The most I can say is disdain... Liu Qing was surprised, "Resentful?"
Song Zhen nodded, "Old Liu, what is the most important weapon of a country?"
"Army!" Liu Qing has been in charge of Northern Xinjiang for a long time, and his vision has changed.
"I have been in the Ministry of War for many years, and I have watched the Tang army grow from prosperity to decline. The invincible tiger warrior who once made the Northern Liao dare not peep south has turned into a coward who even dared to provoke the Southern Zhou Dynasty. How can I not hate you!
"
"Hey!" Liu Qing secretly rejoiced, "What I feel most distressed about is the military system."
"Mansion army system?" Song Zhen sneered, "In order to seize the direct heir, the father and son teamed up with the family members. After success, they allowed the family members and the powerful to annex the land at will.
If the superiors work, the powerful people in the world will follow suit. If there is less land, the military system will naturally be abolished.
So I thought and thought, and finally came up with a recruiting system. Do you know what I did when the recruiting system was first introduced?"
Liu Qing shook his head, "At that time, I was just an inconspicuous official in Northern Xinjiang. To me, Chang'an is the residence of the gods. The gods dare not peep."
"Shit god!" Song Zhen scolded: "I went to the memorial and listed seven shortcomings of the recruitment system. But the memorial was suppressed.
I once again submitted a memorial, and this time it was even better. Someone actually impeached me, saying that I had monopolized power in the Ministry of War... Damn it, I was furious, and immediately submitted a memorial to defend myself, but then more and more people impeached me.
."
Liu Qing shook his head, "Is he one of the principal's people?"
Song Zhen nodded, "Once the military system is changed back to the government, we must pay attention to the equalization of land. But those fields have been divided up by them, where can they get it? This matter has been left unsolved."
"The emperor doesn't care, you are too troublesome."
"Yes! But I never think that I am troublesome."
Liu Qing smiled bitterly, "What are you doing?"
Song Zhen looked at him, "It's just because I love this Tang Dynasty deeply."
Liu Qing was moved and stretched out his hand forward, "Then, let's pull back this falling Tang Dynasty together!"
Song Zhen stretched out his hand.
"good!"
Put two hands together.
"Pull it back!"
…
Yang Xuan handled the official business sent by Liu Qing while on duty. Later, someone came to see him.
"It's that Duke Cheng."
Wu Daxiao gloated, "That guy's family was willing to give money, so he was given preferential treatment in the prison. He had good food and accommodation, and he could even take a bath after a while."
"Where's the money?" Yang Xuan asked.
"It's all turned in."
The murderous intention disappeared.
Seeing Helian Luo again, Yang Xuan was surprised to find that this man had gained a lot of weight and had become a lot whiter.
"I've met the Duke."
The Chengguo government had money and was willing to spend money. The prisoner felt that this was a revenue-generating project, so he asked Liu Qing for instructions.
When Old Liu heard what Chengguo Gongfu said, he waved his hand, "Except for women, give him whatever you want!"
"The villain wants to build roads."
Well!
Could it be that the Duke Cheng’s government has spent all its money?
Logically speaking, Helian Luo should have been thrown into building roads after he was captured. But his family couldn't stand it and they were willing to give him money!
How can such an old hen that can lay golden eggs build roads?
So, this is the current situation.
"What are you..."
Helianluo said: "I am worried about my sister."
I see.
Helian Yunshang was also in prison, and Wang Laoer personally raised his salary. The prison staff asked Liu Qing for instructions, but Liu Qing remained silent.
That is, acquiescence.
"Didn't see you?"
"See you."
"Then what are you worried about?"
"The villain is willing to pay to redeem himself and his sister." Helian Luo said sincerely: "The villain is just a nobody to the Duke. Keeping the villain will only waste the Duke's food. It is better to exchange for some money.
.I wonder if what the villain said is right? The villain is willing to pay... this number."
He raised three fingers and said, "Three million dollars!"
grass!
So damn rich.
Uda's eyes turned green.
Yang Xuan was also moved.
Helian Luo looked at Yang Xuan confidently. He had calculated that three million dollars would be of great use to Northern Xinjiang, but leaving the brothers and sisters behind would be of no use.
If you want to use their brothers and sisters to demonstrate against Ning Xing, come on, it would be better to use He Lianrong, the former governor of Tanzhou.
They're just relatives, just a loser.
Therefore, he is full of confidence.
Three million!
Yang Xuan was really tempted.
Outside the door, Wang Laoer suddenly appeared, raising the biscuits in his hand...
In the morning, Yang Xuan wanted to eat the Qian family's pancakes, but he forgot about it after leaving the house.
Yang Xuan spoke.
"Go back!"
Helianluo: "..."
"My lord, isn't it enough?"
Helian Luo felt that Yang Xuan was too greedy.
But, I can’t stand the fact that he has money!
So, Helianluo said reservedly: "The Duke will give me a number."
Yang Xuandan said calmly: "Do you think I am a poor person?"
He waved his hand, and Uda came in and slipped Helianluoti out.
"My lord, I have something to say! My lord, please tell me the number. I am willing to give it!"
The shout went away.
Wang Laoer came in and said, "Lang Jun, it's still hot!"
When Yang Xuan saw that his face was slightly red, he knew that he had run all the way back.
He took the pancake and took a bite. It was still slightly hot inside, and the mutton fat burst out, immediately moistening the dry pancake.
Mutton is the soul of the cake, and the wheat aroma and chewiness are the foundation of the cake.
complement each other.
"Lang Jun, I'm going back."
"Hey! Wait a minute."
Yang Xuan stopped him, took a sip of tea, swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked: "What do you mean to that Helian Yunshang...?"
"That woman?"
Wang Laoer said casually: "It's interesting."
"Oh! What do you mean?" Yang Xuan was secretly happy, feeling that he had finally seen the light of day.
Wang Laoer said: "She doesn't stink."
"The prison doesn't stink, but it does stink outside. What's your logic?" Yang Xuan was slightly angry, "Do you like her?"
Wang Laoer was stunned, "What do you like?"
I want to hit someone... Yang Xuan suppressed his anger, "That's it..."
He thought about it for a while, but Wang Laoer wanted to go out impatiently, "Have you thought about it, Mr. Lang?"
Yang Xuan raised his head. "Do you want to sleep with her?"
"sleep?"
"yes!"
Yang Xuan felt like an old bustard, seducing a novice prostitute.
Wang Laoer frowned, "Maybe! But why sleep?"
"roll!"
As if Wang Lao Er was granted amnesty, he ran away with a puff of smoke.
Yang Xuan got up and returned home happily.
"Second brother, please keep an eye on him." He told Zhou Ning, "I think He Lian Yunshang can make it!"
"Really?" Zhou Ning's eyes lit up, "If so, I will make arrangements."
"Don't scare her."
"Zitai, that's the county lord, do you think you can be easily scared?"
"The key is to see if she and the second child are compatible."
"Just being able to run a household! I'll observe first and then make a plan."
Yang Xuan felt something relieved in his mind and felt his feet relaxed.
"Mr. Lang, please see He Lianyan."
Yang Xuan met He Lianyan in the courtyard.
"Over in Chang'an, the emperor scolded the king of Yue and said he was hypocritical."
Yang Xuan was stunned, "Is he going to fall out? That's not right."
It is impossible for the emperor to fall out with the King of Yue...that is, with Yang Songcheng and others.
"Why?"
"Yang Songcheng sent people to the Southern Zhou Dynasty to seek to marry the treasure of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to the King of Yue... Nianzi Yue!"
