of the Last

Yang Guozhong's mansion has been crowded in the past two days, and the emperor's favor made him extremely glorious. He was appointed as the Jingzhao Yin, his wife also received a third-rank imperial edict, and his sons were awarded the honors. Even his youngest son, who had just been born, was named Feiqiwei.

Just as the lights at night attract flying insects, the hot halo emitted by the new powerful is also fatal attraction, congratulations, gifts, and favors; colleagues, subordinates, royal relatives, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen all come to visit the new Jingzhao Yin.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong was leading several sons to welcome and see off guests at the door. His face seemed to be covered with fat, his face was glossy, and the hot sweat steamed his face as red as a cooked crab.

"Congratulations to Brother Yang for his success!" The two officials walked forward with their eight-character official steps and smiled and went forward to congratulate him.

Yang Guozhong's expression seemed to win the lottery, and the surprises were mixed: "Mr. Xi and Doctor Zhao came to congratulate him in person. Guozhong couldn't afford it. Please sit in the house quickly!"

Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly pulled Da Xixun aside and whispered: "I don't know if there is any compatibility between the dog's affairs?"

Da Xixun was like a cunning old fox, laughing and not talking. The meaning of this laughter was: "Don't worry! Your Highness Qing has already explained."

Another humble butler came forward, holding the gift list in both hands, bowed to accompany him with a smile: "Mr. Yang, this is a special gift from my prince, please accept it!"

Yang Guozhong's smile was not calmed down, "Who is your prince?"

"His Royal Highness Yong!"

At this time, the housekeeper came over in a panic, "Master, there are too many carriages for gifts, blocking the intersection, and entering and exiting are not smooth, and passers-by are scolding. What should I do?"

Yang Guozhong said with a stern face: "I am Jingzhao Yin, who dares to curse me!"

"But master, even the gift-giving carriage can't come in."

Yang Guozhong immediately turned anger and worried, "Since that's the case, let's open the back door! Let the wife go to the back door to receive gifts."

"But, Madam is not here!"

"Idiot, besides counting money in the back hall, where else can she go? Go and call her, it is more important to receive gifts!"

In this way, Yang Guozhong was like a chameleon, his face changed around in front of the mansion, sometimes angry and sometimes happy, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing that life was short and the first half of his life was wasted.

"Congratulations to Yang Zhongcheng for being promoted."

A sharp voice suddenly came from behind Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong turned around and the person came with a chicken breast and a bee waist, but it was Zhao Yue. He was proud of his face and a mysterious look appeared in his smile.

"What's the good thing about you guys? You smile so mysteriously?"

Zhao Yue gently pulled Yang Guozhong, "There is indeed a good thing, please speak here!"

The two walked to a secluded place, and Zhao Yue finally whispered in Yang Guozhong's ear. Yang Guo was stunned at first, and then ecstatic, "You are serious about this? Do he really want to take the princess as his concubine?"

"This is what his elder brother said to me in person. His elder brother has always apologized for me, and it is not a false statement."

Yang Guozhong was so happy that he rubbed his hands straight. He was the chief censor. The marriage between the two Li Xiang violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. This was his impeachment scope. Li Qing's handle finally fell into his hands.

Unexpectedly, a more vicious look flashed in Zhao Yue's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "The second Li Xiangjie may not be able to knock down Li Qing. I have a plan that will make them regret it for life."

Even Yang Guozhong felt the strong ruthlessness in Zhao Yue's tone. He glanced at Zhao Yue in surprise, not understanding why he hated Li Qing so deeply, so he said lightly: "What strategy?"

A grim smile appeared on Zhao Yue's lips, "Don't the Tubo envoy want to propose to their new Zanpu? I'll tell them that Li Jingyan is the number one beauty of my Tang Dynasty royal family and the princess. Let them indicate that Li Jingyan wants to marry Li Jingyan. If Li Jingyan married to Tubo, wouldn't it make Li Qing crazy!"

"this"

Yang Guozhong was a little hesitant. He was just jealous of Li Qing, but using such a vicious and ruthless trick to deal with him made him a little embarrassed. If it was reported, wouldn’t anyone who knew the details say that Yang Zhao’s kindness would be revenge?

But Zhao Yue seemed to see through Yang Guozhong's heart, and said lightly: "It is a state matter for the Tang Dynasty. Others will only say that Yang Zhongcheng, you have lost your reputation because of your public and private affairs. Besides, isn't it because you are kind and ruthless, that's why the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue fell into Li Qing's hands? It's not that non-toxic, but not husband. Lord Yang, if you are not cruel, how can you do great things!"

Seeing that his persuasion had already made Yang Guozhong excited, Zhao Yue was secretly happy and fanned the flames and said, "Two days ago, Li Qing used your private meeting with King Qing to threaten you, and when did he take into account the brotherhood?"

One sentence reminded Yang Guozhong, "King Qing, yes! This matter can be done by King Qing, which can not only repay other people's favors, but also slander Li Qing, and also remove his own connections. It can be said that he can kill three birds with one stone."

King Qing Li Cong is also actively arranging personnel at this moment. In addition to Sichuan, he also has a large number of industries in Yangzhou, including cabinet shops, rice shops, and salt. Yangzhou Governor Li Chengshi is his confidant, but this is just a force in the officialdom. There are also some things that the officials are not suitable for, such as assassination, kidnapping, etc., which require some strange people and strangers he has collected in recent years.

"Your Highness, King Yong is asking for a visit outside the mansion."

The report from the gatekeeper suddenly ran into Li Cong really surprised. Some time ago, in order to compete for the position of crown prince, the two were bayonets. Although both of them failed to be the position of crown prince, the hatred that arose from this was difficult to eliminate.

After pondering a little, Li Cong understood that it was rumored that King Yong was also a big dealer who reselled private salt. Now that the court has cracked down on private salt and promoted the new salt administration, how could he not be affected? Needless to say, he must have come to him for this matter.

"Please come to see me quickly!" Since he could put down his figure, if he didn't see him, he would seem to be narrow.

"I have been visiting my brother's mansion for many years."

King Yong Li Lin changed his past coldness, and the humble smile on his face was like the sunshine of the dog days of the summer. It melted the last layer of ice fog in Li Cong's heart from a distance.

"Haha, my door is always open. Shiliulang refused to come, but I blamed me instead. Where should I start?"

King Qing stepped forward, smiled and pulled his brother's hand, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I've lost a lot of weight. Is Shiliulang unable to sleep day and night for the new salt law?"

As soon as they met, Li Cong went straight to the point and saved the hypocrisy and politeness between the two. Seeing that he was so straightforward and no longer covered up, Yongwang laughed dryly: "Brother is indeed a pleasure. Yes, I did come for the new salt law. I heard that when Li Qing went to Yangzhou, he would have to discuss with his elder brother to coordinate the steps of you and me, so as not to hit the boat and be used by Li Qing."

Li Cong nodded, "Shiliulang is still thoughtful. If you hadn't been to the instructions in advance, our brothers would probably be defeated by Li Qing. I agree with your opinion, but the matter in Yangzhou should be dominated by people from my mission."

"Then it's a matter of determination." The two of them slammed their high fives and laughed.

The night was dark, and Li Qing stood alone in front of the window, staring at the boundless night sky. Tomorrow morning, he was about to set off to Yangzhou to solve the financial danger of the Tang Dynasty. When did he once long for a lonely sail to Guangling. This was a dream that had been there a thousand years later and a expectation of a thousand years ago. It was both the luxury of "a hundred thousand bars of waist and riding a crane to Yangzhou" and the poetic and picturesque of "the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges".

But going to Yangzhou tomorrow made him feel that his shoulders were extremely heavy. His shoulders would carry the revival of the entire Tang Dynasty. Tomorrow was the first step he took. He knew very well that any reform would bring countless monsters and monsters to his shadow, with the counterattack of interest groups; there were the plots of despicable villains; there were also the control of inaction; King Qing, King Yong, Li Linfu and even Yang Guozhong could attack him, and danger would accompany him from beginning to end. This would be a fierce battle, but Li Qing was not afraid. The fierce battle would arouse his fighting spirit, and he would face the challenge with wisdom and decisiveness. At this moment, he couldn't help but roar towards the boundless universe, and he had never been as confident as he is now.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps quietly approaching behind him. Li Qing smiled. Lian'er reached out to wrap his hand around his waist, pressed his face tightly against his back, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Lang, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Li Qing turned around, opened his arms and hugged his wife, kissed her gently on her lips, and smiled and said, "Although it is three or five months, in fact, two months is enough. I will come back as soon as possible. Remember, after I leave, you all move to Jingyan, you can take care of each other, and try not to go out. I suspect that someone will use you to pull me back, so you must be careful, think carefully about everything, and be more careful about your servants. If you have any problems, let Lao Yu pass on a letter to me with a flying pigeon."

Lian'er agreed one by one. She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better for me to let Xiaoyu go with you to take care of your daily life."

Li Qing smiled and gently scraped her delicate nose with her fingers, "Are you afraid that I will bring another woman back?"

"I don't have it!" Lian'er's face turned slightly red, but she twisted her body and acted coquettishly and refused to admit it. Her eyes suddenly became hot, with a little shyness on her face. She lay in Li Qing's ear and moaned: "Li Lang, tonight"

Li Qing pinched her soft waist, and her heart was full of desire. He nodded quickly and reached out to untie her belt. At this moment, a "click" sound came from the door, and the sound was very small, but Li Qing could hear it clearly. He was secretly funny and walked forward quickly. He reached out and grabbed a snow-white wrist from the crack of the door, dragging the eavesdropping Xiaoyu in from outside the door.

Lian'er was both angry and funny, "I knew it was you little girl, and when will your sneaky problem be corrected?"

She shook her head, suddenly remembered something again, and asked hurriedly: "When you came over, did the lights in the wet nurse's room go out?"

“It’s already out.”

Xiaoyu felt as if she was so sad. She glanced at Li Qing secretly, and bit her lips gently, "Sister Lian'er, I have something to say to you." After that, she pulled the curtain and walked to the tent. Li Qing suddenly realized something, so she tiptoed and quietly approached the curtain, raising her ears high.

"Sister Lian'er, Li Lang is leaving tomorrow, I, me." Xiaoyu's voice became lighter and smaller, almost unheard

"Don't worry! I naturally know that I will ask him to come to you tonight."

Li Qing felt a warm heart. He looked through the thin gauze tent. Under the light, the graceful bodies of the two were hazy and faint, one was petite and delicate, with a gentle curve; the other was tall and plump, both so familiar and warm.
