Generally speaking, there is nothing much to say about Hebei. Dou Jiande is the current overlord of Hebei. There is no doubt that the salt dealer Gao Kaidao occupies Yuyang County and can threaten Dou Jiande's rear.
There is really enough food. Even the Turks and some grassland tribes are not willing to support his separatist rule.
In comparison, Luo Yi was very fearful to Dou Jiande.
"In my opinion, Dou Jiande will definitely attack Xiangzhou within two years. He has defeated Wei Daoer and Song Jingang, and has tens of thousands of soldiers. Some time ago, I heard that he killed Yu Wenji and sent his body to the Turks
It was handed over to the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, obviously because she wanted to imitate Liu Wuzhou and get help from the Turks."
The news of Yu Wenhuaji's death came when Li Zhiyun returned to Chang'an. He died tragically. Although it was not as tragic as being quartered by five horses, it was still incomplete. Moreover, the body could not be left in the Central Plains.
More importantly, he killed Yang Guang. Princess Yicheng avenged her brother and might hang his body on the flagpole for vultures to peck at.
Li Jiancheng thought: "Father, what Zhiyun said makes sense. Xiangzhou needs more attention. Currently, our country, the Tang Dynasty, is fighting foreign wars. If we accidentally let Dou Jiande become bigger, he might become another former Qi."
Li Yuan nodded with a solemn look. Hebei has always been an unstable factor for the Guanlong Dynasty. From the beginning of the Wei Dynasty to the paralleling of Zhou and Qi, the north has been divided for hundreds of years. It is impossible to win the hearts of the people over time.
"We can only wait a little longer. Erlang is currently attacking Li Gui, and it has been very effective. Xiliang will surely be pacified within the year. By then, our army can transfer its main force to Hebei, leave Tongguan in the east, and strive for hegemony in the Central Plains."
Li Zhiyun said: "My father and I think that Gao Kaidao and Luo Yi are actually worth winning over. Let them contain Dou Jiande in Hebei, so that our government can make arrangements calmly."
There was a smile on Li Yuan's lips. Although Zhiyun was not very proficient in government affairs, he was very sensitive to the strategic situation.
"What do you think?"
Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said: "I heard that Wen Yanbo, the younger brother of Shilang Wen, is the Sima of Luo Yi's account. We can send someone to contact him and persuade Luo Yi to become a minister of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up and he said: "This plan is feasible!"
Li Yuan thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said: "Okay."
"Father, please leave this matter to your son." Li Jiancheng volunteered.
"good."
"Thank you, Father, and I will live up to your father's trust."
Afterwards, the father and son chatted for a while and then ate together.
When Li Zhiyun returned from the palace, he was invited by the prince and immediately went to the East Palace to sit for a while. Li Jiancheng's rhetoric was still the same, with all kinds of greetings and all kinds of care. Li Zhiyun was naturally flattered by this.
It was already late at night when I finally got rid of Li Jiancheng and returned home.
The candlelight is swaying, Princess Yang of Chu's gauze skirt, her skin is snowy, and the jade trees reflect the flowers. She is elegant but has a hint of charm, like the green lotus in the river, in full bloom, people can't get enough of it, and they can't get tired of it.
.
She sat upright in front of the dressing table, took off her hands and shook them, looking at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror with her bright eyes, her red lips could not help but outline a slight arc.
The maids Yu'er and Huan'er helped Yang take off her jewelry. Her black hair was like a waterfall, hanging down the sides of her shoulders. Her body was covered with light gauze, and her beauty was unparalleled in the world.
Li Zhiyun was lying on his back on the couch, with Yang He leaning on his back and a book in his hand.
Yang walked up to Li Zhiyun, poured him a cup of tea, sat down next to him, and said: "Now the income of this new tea is getting better and better. The noble families in Chang'an are purchasing more, and the royal palace's income is also becoming more and more abundant.
stand up."
"If the income is good, there should be a lot of trouble." Li Zhiyun turned over a page and still looked at the book.
Yang nodded, "Money and silk are very attractive, and many people are making trouble in front of the shop. However, with the presence of the King of Huaiyang and the Duke of Lueyang, others have to weigh it."
Li Zhiyun curled up his lips. He took the initiative to let Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong join the team in order to find a few partners to block unnecessary trouble and slay the flies.
Now it seems that the effect is outstanding.
"There won't be much going on in the palace these days while I'm gone."
Goddess Yang gently stroked her green hair and tucked the hair behind her delicate ears.
"No big deal."
"Really?" Li Zhiyun covered his face with the book, revealing his eyes and looking at his wife.
Goddess Yang is naturally extremely beautiful. She has transformed from a young girl before marriage into a dignified, intellectual and graceful princess in the palace.
"Husband, you don't believe me?" She kissed her red lips with a hint of shame and anger.
"As a husband, I trust my wife." Li Zhiyun stretched out his hand to hold her white and tender hands, and kneaded them gently, acting like a prostitute.
Goddess Yang glanced at him and said angrily: "It seems that Mrs. Yin has complained to the king."
"It's just some trivial matters, I just asked casually. She is pregnant now, and the imperial doctor said not to be overjoyed or angry. If you can, well... you try to forgive her."
Li Zhiyun left all matters in the backyard to Goddess Yang, and he usually didn't interfere. However, Lady Yin was pregnant after all, so Li Zhiyun had to pay more attention to her.
"Your Majesty's words are like concubine bullying her." Goddess Yang said unhappily: "The monthly money I gave her is for her to support herself, not for her to support her family. It's just once or twice.
It happened several times, so I don’t blame me for beating her.”
"What you said makes sense, and I didn't say it couldn't be done." Li Zhiyun said aggrievedly.
Seeing his strange appearance, Goddess Yang sneered.
"Your Majesty, do you want to give Yin family more monthly money?"
"You are the princess, and you have the final say in matters in the backyard."
"But tonight, the king seems to want to make the decision on his own." She pursed her red lips, revealing a hint of girlish playfulness.
Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, put down the book, and hugged Goddess Yang, causing her to exclaim.
"Husband!"
"My husband sees that you envy her, so I can only work harder to make you, like her, take care of your health honestly."
Goddess Yang put her hands around Li Zhiyun's neck, bit her red lips, and whispered: "My husband has returned from the war, why don't you have a good rest?"
Is it okay to question me?
Men never say no!
"Madam, you should ask your husband now whether he likes boys or girls." Li Zhiyun looked at his wife's beautiful face seriously.
Hearing this, a trace of blush spread from the delicate and fair jade neck to her charming face, and Goddess Yang turned her head and ignored him.
"If you don't ask, why don't I ask my husband, do you like boys or girls?" Li Zhiyun teased her.
Goddess Yang didn't speak, her pretty face was already red.
"Say." Li Zhiyun was not going to let her go.
The maids Yu'er and Huan'er saw that the atmosphere was not right and had already left, leaving the couple to exchange feelings.
"I won't tell you." She refused to answer angrily.
"Then don't blame your husband."
...
The clouds and rain cannot be expressed in words.
After finishing, Goddess Yang slept tiredly in Li Zhiyun's arms, with a look of satisfaction and exhaustion on her face.
Li Zhiyun hugged his wife's delicate body, covered her with a quilt to cover the exposed snowy skin, and patted her gently, like coaxing a child.
Goddess Yang was stunned. She cheered up and asked him, "Are you trying to coax your child?"
"When you begged for mercy just now, weren't you like a child?"
"Don't say that!" Goddess Yang was immediately embarrassed and pinched the soft flesh of his waist.
