Chapter 136 - 7

Yang Ren's attitude is the attitude of most of the Kansai officers present. Everyone is watching Prince Chen Chong. High-speed update

For a long time, due to frequent wars in Hezhong and northern Xinjiang, the battlefield in the east was relatively quiet, and the officers in Guanxi did not have much opportunity to make military achievements. The status of the Andong Army Office in the Guguo Mansion and the General's Office was gradually declining. This time, a major war was brewing in Hezhong. In order to prevent the deterioration of the situation in Guandong, Chen Chong had to sit in Luoyang and intimidate the Liao and Song dynasties. Among the Xia army in Guandong, only Zhao Xingde's navy could directly attack the Dashi local area, which was also an opportunity for the Andong Army Office to be proud. Therefore, the officers had high hopes for the navy's expedition to the Dashi local area and did not want any trouble. "".c0m update the most complete text and hand-table

"Since that's the case," Chen said with a close eye, "I will write a letter to General Zhao."

Although the naval battle in Guangzhou was unexpected, the situation was always changing in a good direction and there was no need to send envoys.

Everyone had decided to leave, so they each said goodbye. Chen Chong returned to the study room of the Houjia house, pondered for a while, and wrote a letter to Zhao Xingde, asking him to put the overall situation first and sail as far as possible, and not to damage the navy's strength due to the last battle in Guangzhou. The Crown Princess Zhang came to see it once and said with a frown: "These days, I have seen Mrs. Zhao have been depressed. Can you tell her about General Zhao's news first?".c0m Baidu search "" to see the latest chapter

"Okay." Chen said with a close eye, "The news of Guangzhou's victory will be heard in a few days."

"Really." Zhang Caiwei said with some resentment, "That guy is fine, he doesn't tell anything, so that his family members are worried about him for nothing. He thought that's all. The girl from the Li family has a good temper. I must give him some color in the future." As he said that, he put the tea tray in his hand on the desk, and a "bang". Chen Chong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs. Yuan Zhi is now important, and his family affairs are no longer just family affairs. It is best for a couple to let go of their past grudges. Don't disturb the situation again?"

"Suppose the situation?" Zhang Caiwei's voice suddenly rose, "Can you stand on Zhao Yuanzhi's side? OK!"

Zhang is a tiger girl from the general and has obtained the true teachings of Empress Kang. Although she is usually gentle and virtuous, when she is involved, she will roar in Hedong and stare at Chen Jin. "I am not standing there." Chen Chong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just a matter of fact. Yuan Zhi, Han Ningshuang, and the Princess of Song, are all prohibited from the situation and coincidences with marriage. We don't know the princess of Song. Han Ningshuang and us are both old acquaintances. Do you think she could serve the same husband if it weren't for a coincidence of marriage? Moreover, the customs in Guandong are like this, such as Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi, not only have a large number of wives and concubines, but also coerced the Song court to grant favored concubines over the rules. In comparison, Zhao Yuanzhi is also honest and self-reliant."

"Hmph! What kind of Guandong customs! Zhang Caiwei's eyebrows were slightly raised and she spat, "These smelly guys are not even as good as big cannibals!"

"What is this?" Chen Chong's tone stopped. He realized that it was unwise to get involved in this issue, so he changed the topic. "However, news came from this big victory in Guangzhou. The prices of treasures such as incense medicine, Nanzhu, and ivory rhinoceros horns in Luoyang will drop a little." He smiled, "If you plan to buy incense powder beads, you can wait for ten days and half a month, which should save a lot of money."

"Really?" Zhang Caiwei's eyes were slightly bright. She was the crown princess and the sister of the Duke. She could not force merchants to lower the price to sell. However, like ordinary women, she had some little fun to bargain at the market.

"Is this fake?" Chen Chong smiled, "You are not a wife who never goes out of the gate, you should be clear when you think about it."

"No," Zhang Caiwei nodded complacently and said, "These market merchants took advantage of the pirates to cause trouble some time ago to raise the price of seafood too high." She turned her mind and said, "The news about the battle in Guangzhou should be told to Mrs. Zhao earlier. In a few days, the news on the market will spread. I will ask her to pick a few boxes of fragrant powder together." After saying that, she gave Chen Chong a blank look. Seeing that he had hung up the battle-free sign, she didn't care about the ambiguous words just now. Watching her back leave, Chen Chongqing breathed and said he was lucky.

The sound of drums left the long night and the twilight in the east, Li Ruoxue put down the manuscript in his hand.

A ray of morning light fell on her pale cheeks, and she rubbed her forehead and finally became tired. Since she returned to Luoyang in anger, she often had no sleep at night, urging her two children to study in the morning and practice martial arts in the early morning. After Li Gefei personally taught her grandson to study, Li Ruoxue could only sleep for a while. In just a short time, she lost a whole circle and became weaker and weaker. Because of this, Zhang Caiwei was particularly angry at Li Ruoxue's situation.

The sun shone into the study through the window edge, and spots of light fell on the wooden box on the upper right side of the desk.

Li Ruoxue put the manuscript into the wooden box, and a stack of letters came into her eyes. Li Ruoxue's eyes moved slightly, all of which were sent back by Zhao Xingde recently. It turned out that after receiving these letters, Li Ruoxue didn't read them and put them in the book box. However, Zhao Xingde had no letters for nearly a month. In short, it happened to be because of Guangzhou Kang's period. During this period, while she was worried, she read the previous letters. Everything happened to happen in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Xingde would not explain it. When he read every word, he not only did not let go, but instead made her feel very angry. However, these thoughts were buried in her heart and she never said them to her parents.

Li Ruoxue was in the sad state, and the maid reported outside the door: "Mrs. Chen came to visit the house."

"Hmm?" Li Ruoxue was stunned, and a trace of worry appeared between her eyebrows. "It was so early, I thought it was something, I don't know if it was good or bad?"

In addition to teaching in the Lower Court of the Luoyang Bachelor's Mansion, Li Ruoxue lived a life almost like a secluded person. No matter how ups and downs the outside world is, the days in the Zhao Mansion are always silent. Zhang Caiwei sometimes says "I am so quiet that I am a little afraid of people." If there are good or bad things, it cannot be a matter in Luoyang, but only a male host far away in Guangzhou. Thinking of this, Li Ruoxue's eyebrows have added a lot of worries. Zhang Caiwei is familiar with the passage, and the people behind have already reached the door of the study.

"Sister," Zhang Caiwei closed the door and said with a smile: "There is news in Guangzhou."

"Is that so?" Li Ruoxue saw that her face was relaxed and there was no bad news. She felt relieved and said lightly: "Is that so?"

But her heart jumped up unscrupulously, and her face became paler. Zhang Caiwei held her hand, feeling the coldness of her hands. She felt that the man was so sad that he secretly said, "Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan immediately implicated you for being worried about him for nothing. The previous period of Guangzhou was imprisoned by him and Chen Gongju. He treated him in Guangzhou. He lured the pirates of Dashi and Song State into the trap. Zhao Xingde had already sneaked out of Guangzhou to meet his subordinates. Just two days ago, the United Navy suddenly appeared outside the Pearl River, defeating Dashi and Song State pirate coalition forces in one fell swoop. Now it is blocking the estuary of the Pearl River. If the Song ** team in Guangzhou is more vigorous, this battle can make the 10-year pirates in the southern state of Song State, and at least five years of peace in the southeast coast."

Zhang Caiwei's so-called "five years of peace" was not a nonsense. She grew up in Shishan since she was a child, which was a far north place where Hu and Han were mixed. Every autumn and winter, the Duke of Chu would summon his subordinates to send troops from Weiyuan Fort to attack the barbarian horse thieves. The northern border believed that the best defense was to attack. The more "blood" the opponent, the more time the enemy needed to survive and reproduce, and she would have to maintain "peace" for a long time. The "five years" of peace she mentioned was already a very high evaluation. The peace of the five years depends on whether the Song State itself governed properly. If the people were not safe in the day, it would be useless to drive fish for the abyss.

Most wives do not have such insights, so although the Crown Princess has a wide range of friendship, she is closer to Li Ruoxue. Zhang Caiwei said while looking at Li Ruoxue's expression. Seeing that she was just listening, although she was silent, her eyes fluctuated, as if she was already very worried, she finally relaxed a little.

Seeing this, Zhang Caiwei felt pity: "A man only cares about making achievements, and his sister has really made him suffer."

Her eyes fell on the desk, and when she saw the tray filled with fresh red fruits, she said in surprise: "Is this what General Zhao sent me?"

At this time, the transportation between the north and the south was not changed, and fresh lychees were extremely difficult to preserve. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, fresh lychees were eaten in the north, and only fast horses were transported. Zhang Caiwei was the daughter of a Duke and Marquis, and she had only eaten fresh lychees in Dunhuang. It was also presented by the king of Shu Kingdom and rewarded by Empress Kang. As for ordinary northern scholars, most of them only knew the allusion of "Riding on the World" and had never seen fresh lychees.

Li Ruoxue said "um" gently, reached out and picked up a lychee, peeled it and handed it to her.

"This was delivered last night." Li Ruoxue whispered, "When I was studying with Yuanzhi, I accidentally saw Bai Letian's "Preface to the Litchi Picture" saying, 'The shell is like red silk, the film is like purple silk, the flesh is as white as snow, and the slurry is as sweet and sour as sweet as sweet cheese'. I couldn't think of what this good fruit looks like, so Yuanzhi said that he would definitely come to me for a look in the future." He peeled off the red silk and purple silk with his bare hands like onions, and saw that the flesh was crystal white, exuding a fresh lychee aroma, which made her nose feel a bitter feeling.

"Tsk tsk," Zhang Caiwei sighed, "Zhao Yuanzhi is considered to be intentional."
