Forty-two, the prince is not happy
Since the grand strategy has been decided, we will refine the specific implementation of the strategy? How to use Lan Lianchang is the key.
Judge Fan offered his advice: "Your Highness, Lord Protector, Marquis, you have a plan to be humble. Lan Lianchang will inevitably reveal his true identity to the Marquis in the near future and invite the Marquis to see Chen Si'an. Chen Si'an will surrender to the Tang Kingdom on the surface, and then send a special envoy to Beijing to meet the emperor. The journey is long and the messengers are coming and delaying time. This year is almost over. Chen Si'an takes this opportunity to prepare for his troops and everything is ready, and he will attack Wu and Yue troops. Chen Si'an is carrying out a delaying plan. We might as well take the plan."
Li Jian smiled and said, "Putting a trick is the masterpiece of the Marquis of Xinzhou. The female spy that cousin Xuan has always kept should come in handy, right?"
Zhou Xuanxin sank slightly, feeling that Xiahou Liusu was quite pitiful. He wanted to use a beauty trick on him, but instead became a chess piece in his hand!
After these days, Zhou Xuan clearly felt that Xiahou Liusu's attitude towards him had completely changed, especially after the two of them had a bed, Xiahou Liusu was simply obsessed with him. Perhaps it was just a woman who had just tasted the taste of lust for the first time to fall in love with lust. It was not about whether to love or not, but no matter what, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart.
"Are you too soft-hearted? Xiahou Liusu had a knife hidden in her skirt and wanted to kill me. If I hadn't been smart, she might have died in Xuanzhou. Such a woman could not stay by her side. It was huge and vague. Moreover, she has martial arts skills, sooner or later, it would be a disaster. She would have been sent to the purity as soon as possible. Her relationship with me is destined to have no good result. It would be good for me to keep her life."
Zhou Xuan thought this way and said, "Then let's have a series of plans. On the one hand, Chen Si'an suspected that the barbarian Pan, Lei and Zhong San'an had contact with our Tang State. On the other hand, he secretly sent someone to inform Pan, Lei and Zhong San'an, saying that Chen Si'an would attack them and let them be prepared, so that the three surnames would not be caught off guard by Chen Si'an. It would be most beneficial for our Tang State if the two sides were stalemate."
Li Jian repeatedly said: "How wonderful! How wonderful!"
At this time, someone from Zhou Xuan’s mansion came to report that a man who claimed to be the Prince of Lianchang asked to see the Marquis and said that there was an extremely important matter.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Lan Lianchang can't hold back anymore. Your Highness, Uncle Lin, Xu and Fan, then I'll go home first."
Chen Ji and Zhou Xuan went back together, and Chen Ji naturally wanted to live in Zhou Xuan's mansion. Zhou Xuan and Chen Ji put their arms into the mansion. The handsome young master Lian Chang sat in the doorman and responded impatiently to the question of Ding Desheng and Wangcai. When he saw Zhou Xuan, he quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Marty Zhou, Qingyuan Lan Lianchang is polite."
Zhou Xuan was stunned: "Lan Lianchang? Mr. Lianchang's surname is Lan. I always thought that Mr. Lianchang's surname is Lianchang's name. What important thing does Mr. Lan want to see me? Please speak in the hall."
When he came to the guest host in the hall, the maid served tea. Zhou Xuan said, "Young Master Lan said it directly. Is it a lack of money to return to Qingyuan? I am a charitable man. Just speak up and don't be ashamed."
Young Master Lianchang thought to himself, "You treat me as a visiting Qiufeng. It's a joke. There are 100,000 people under my clan, and countless jewelry, gold and silver. How can you compare to your little marquis in Xinzhou?" He said, "Marquis, you are not short of money. If you have any major issues, you have to discuss with the Marquis. Please leave your left and right." Looking at Chen Ji, I wonder who this person is?
Zhou Xuan said: "Young Master Lan has something to say, but it's okay to say it. This is my close friend, the surname is Chen Ji, his father is the governor of Hongzhou, and his uncle is the minister of the Ministry of War. He is the new General Mingwei and has just returned from Jianzhou training."
Young Master Lianchang already knew that Chen Kai, the assistant minister of the Tang Dynasty, was training troops in the Yong'an Protectorate. When he heard that Chen Ji was Chen Kai's nephew, he was secretly frightened and said with a smile: "It turns out to be General Chen, I'm disrespectful." He immediately stopped hiding it and revealed his identities to Zhou and Xuan.
Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, with suspicious eyes and said lightly: "Young Master Lan is so cunning. He has been deceiving me. What is your intention to show your identity now?"
Young Master Lianchang apologized repeatedly and expressed his intention to come, saying that Chen Si'an intended to meet Zhou Xuan, Qingyuan was still a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Dupu was still loyal to Emperor Li Yu.
Zhou Xuan frowned and asked, "How did Mr. Lianchang know that I had the secret decree of Emperor Tang?"
Young Master Lianchang thought to himself: "Xiahou Liusu has great use, and his identity cannot be exposed at this time." Then he said: "I will not hide it from the Marquis, this is the news from the capital." In fact, Wang Simou did not have time to reply.
Zhou Xuan thought for a while and said, "Young Master Lan must have known that the Crown Prince has arrived in Jiangzhou. When I report to the Crown Prince, I will make a decision. I am afraid that the Chen Duhu is a slander and lacks sincerity."
Mr. Lianchang hurriedly said, "It is sincere and sincere. Protector Chen will send envoys to Beijing to pay tribute. Moreover, Protector Chen will personally go to Jinling to meet His Majesty the Emperor this winter or next spring." He thought to himself: "The strategy of delaying the army is to delay for a while. My brother-in-law will go to Jinling, but he just led his troops there."
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "It is enough to show his loyalty when Mr. Chen is willing to come to Beijing to meet him. Mr. Lan will follow me to see the prince, showing that Mr. Chen is loyal."
Mr. Lianchang followed Zhou Xuan to the Protectorate's Mansion to pay homage to the Crown Prince Li Jian. Li Jian was angry at first and said, "When Chen Si's knowledge that my Tang Kingdom was going to cut off trade with him, I asked for advice. It would be better if I didn't want this kind of loyalty. Cousin Xuan, Qingyuan doesn't have to go, I will report to my father."
Young Master Lianchang sought each other hard and tried his best to show Chen Si'an's loyalty. He had no choice but to have no tribute in recent years because the Shanha people were not conquered and often gathered to cause trouble.
Zhou Xuan said on the side: "Your Highness, I will go south by the order, or go to Quanzhou to meet Chen Dupu. If Chen Si'an is sincere, then continue to trade. If Chen Si'an disobeys the situation in Yang, then I will resolutely retreat and ban business. In this way, the people of Qingyuan will not say that it was His Majesty the Emperor who abandoned them, but Chen Si'an was unfaithful and unrighteous."
Li Jian said: "Since cousin Xuan said that, then go and see him. Thank you for your hard work."
Young Master Lian Chang secretly expressed his gratitude. He was worried that Li Jian would ask Chen Si'an to come to Jiangzhou to see him. He thought of the words of refusal, but Zhou Xuan did not mention it at all. It seemed that this romantic marquis liked to travel around and had to play all the way to Qingyuan.
It is now agreed that Zhou Xuan would go to Qingyuan with Prince Lianchang on the first day of June, and Zhou Xuan would go back to the mansion to prepare for his luggage. He would set off in three days. Qin Que and Renzi thought he would follow his husband to Jinling soon, but he didn't expect that his husband would go to Qingyuan and take them to Beijing. This is more than 2,000 miles to Quanzhou, and the mountain road is difficult to travel, so it takes about two months to travel back and forth.
Qin Que said: "When my husband comes back from Qingyuan, my sister Renting Needle is about to give birth, and Xiao Zhiruo is about to give birth."
Ernr said happily, "The birth period is roughly late August, and my husband must come back."
Zhou Xuan gently stroked the needle's big belly and smiled, "I must come back early. When the needle is born, I will come to Beijing before going to the capital. The emperor should have appointed my Xiao Zhiruo as the county lord."
My daughter's name is Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhou Xuan now recognizes it, because everyone in the mansion calls it that, and everyone praises the name for it.
When Xiahou Liusu learned that Zhou Xuan was going south to Qingyuan, she was secretly happy. She didn't know that Young Master Lianchang was a slow-moving plan and was disobedient. She thought that Chen Si'an really wanted to make peace with Tang State. She was eager to be with Zhou Xuan and was willing to be his concubine. She immediately asked Zhou Xuan to take her there. She took the opportunity to go back to her hometown in Jianzhou to see. Also, she was familiar with the customs and customs of Fujian and could also translate Fujian dialects for Zhou Xuantong.
Xiahou Liusu has such a good reason, so Zhou Xuan of course had to take her there.
On May 28, Lin Duo, the second son of Fenghua Jieduo, Lin Dai, married Xu Danyuan, the daughter of Jiangzhou Governor Xu Qing. Not only did officials from the prefectures and counties come to congratulate, but the top ten Protectorates sent people to send gifts. Because of the Crown Prince Li Jian, the wedding was even more grand and the grand occasion would not be explained in detail.
That night, Zhou Xuan and Li Jian had a banquet together, and suddenly a little maid came over and said, "Mr. Zhou, the second lady is welcome."
Zhou Xuan looked at Li Jian and looked a little embarrassed.
Li Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry about Cousin Xuan. My mother told me a long time ago that Miss Lin admired Cousin Xuan. I didn't believe it at first. When I saw you, I was convinced. Miss Lin looked at you. I couldn't see that she was really an eyeless person. Although Cousin Xuan asked Lin Dupu, I am not a narrow-minded person. What I value most is that it is better than brothers and sisters with Cousin Xuan."
He is worthy of being the crown prince who will be the emperor in the future with three palaces and six courtyards. He is indeed magnanimous. Zhou Xuan was absolutely unsatisfied and said respectfully: "Brother Jian is really a heroic master, with great talent and strategy, kindness and friendship. Do you dare not fail to succeed? "Are you going to say anything, "Your sentence Jian is worse than a matchmaker for me and how about you propose marriage to Lin Dupu? I am Lin Dupu's nephew, so it's not easy to speak."
Li Jian was a little unhappy. After all, Lin Hanyun was the girl he liked. However, Zhou Xuan praised him as a talented and talented hero, and asked him to be a matchmaker so frankly, which shows that his brotherhood is deep and trust each other, and said, "Okay, I will go to Lin Duhu to propose marriage to Xuan's cousin. Haha, my nephew has become a son-in-law, and it is a good story."
