Chapter 1422 A Good Match for a Princess

On the official road, the secret agent of the lover's department is galloping on horseback.

This is his fifth horse, not counting the three he got from the frontier scouts, otherwise it would add up to eight horses.

A very smooth number.

It's not that he hasn't guessed the reason for Wang Ju's journey to the north.

As a secret spy of the Department of Lovers, judging the current situation is the basic skill. Without this basic skill, even if the big news is in front of you, you will turn a blind eye.

Since Wang Ju was in disguise, he must not be going to southern Xinjiang.

Then it is to find the Northern Border Army.

What can the court do by sending a prime minister to find King Qin?

You can guess it with your butt, it must be to seek cooperation.

Otherwise, give ten courage to those important ministers in the court, and they would not dare to take the risk of being furious after being discovered by Shi Zhongtang, and let Wang Ju go north.

To pay, there must be corresponding benefits.

"Stop!"

There is a checkpoint of the inspection department ahead.

Dozens of sergeants lazily watched the spy behind the horse.

"Damn, the two horses are probably messengers, and they have nothing to do!"

The spy reined in his horse and threw the sign over.

A sergeant took the sign and looked at it, "It's from the Lover Division!"

We can't afford it!
The horse was moved away, and the spy asked, "Have you ever seen Wang Xianggong?"

A sergeant said, "It's been three days."

The spy stared blankly ahead.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

The spy shook his head, and suddenly galloped his horse.

"There's something wrong with this person!"

"Yes, probably."

The secret spy beat the horse desperately, and there were many whip marks on the horse's buttocks, and it galloped while neighing.

He pinned his hopes on the urination attack of the civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that he could hope to catch up with Wang Ju.

When the civil servants of Dazhou travel, they always have to see the local... wind, flowers, snow and moon wherever they go.After drinking some wine, the prostitute teased her a few times, and her blood boiled immediately, saying that the old man had it, but her hands and eyes were not at all restless.

But he didn't know that Wang Ju was more anxious to hurry than he was.

……

"quick!"

Wang Ju is no longer young, but he is still galloping.

He had already left most of the missionary behind, and he was on his way with Zhang Jing and a few guards.

When it was half a day away from Bianjing, it was just after noon, and it was reasonable to find a place to live that day, but Wang Ju ordered him to continue on his way.

Even Zhang Jing couldn't understand why Pharaoh had to fight so hard.

"Wang Xiang, let's not worry!"

Even if the central government decides to send troops to attack southern Xinjiang, it will take a lot of time... At least the food and grass will have to be mobilized for a while!
It's not bad for half a day, isn't it.

"Zhang Jing! You are working beside the princess, so you don't know the current situation."

Wang Ju's eyebrows were kind, no, he said earnestly and earnestly: "The Great Zhou was trying to survive in the cracks. Only by relying on the containment of the Daliao could it be kept safe. But the Daliao was destroyed."

It was wiped out by the princess' old acquaintance.

Zhang Jing thought of King Qin, and then thought of the princess who was so beautiful that even women would be tempted, and suddenly felt that only King Qin could be worthy of her.

"The Great Liao is gone, and the Great Tang is in chaos. But no matter how chaotic it is, it is still stronger than the Great Zhou. The battle between the King of Qin and Shi Zhongtang will last for a long time. If the Great Zhou does not take advantage of this opportunity... the Southern Border Army will definitely fight Da Zhou will do it."

"Why?" Zhang Jing asked.

"The old man judges that Shi Zhongtang is not the opponent of King Qin. Moreover, King Qin sits on most of the Great Tang, especially Guanzhong, and the huge Beiliao is also his territory. Whether it is manpower or financial resources, Shi Zhongtang is far behind. Have you ever heard a saying? If you are poor, you want to change."

Wang Ju said: "Why did Tang Dynasty repeatedly want to attack Dazhou? Isn't it because he was jealous of Dazhou's wealth? Fang Chong's failure in the Northern Expedition gave Shi Zhongtang the confidence to attack Dazhou.

Think about it, if Da Zhou falls into the hands of Shi Zhongtang, these massive manpower and financial resources will be able to support him to compete with King Qin for the world.Especially the navy, the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unparalleled in the world, with the navy in hand, they can escape overseas if necessary... Think about it, if it were you, what would happen if you lost to King Qin? "

Zhang Jing hardly thought about it, "Then let's go!"

Wang Ju: "..."

Zhang Jingqiao blushed, "I mean surrender!"

Only then did Wang Ju feel relieved, and then sighed: "When you go out as an envoy, you have to watch six directions and listen to all directions. The Northern Frontier Army said that the King of Qin has explained that the rebels will not keep any prisoners. I know the King of Qin's temperament, and I keep my word. .”

Yes!

The county lieutenant who protected the princess was handsome at the beginning, but when he saw it a while ago, he was more majestic. The combination of the two can make a woman's heart flutter.

Wenzhiwugong is the best in the world, and he is handsome and handsome. Where can I find such a man?

No wonder the princess looked down on those so-called great talents of Da Zhou.

Those great talents are particularly popular in Bianjing women's circle, but compared with Qin Wang, those great talents are either ugly, or their literary talents are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Qin King.Not to mention that the status of King Qin can make them feel ashamed.

"Then let's go!"

The crowd hastily dealt with a few mouthfuls of dry food, and was urged by Wang Ju to go on their way.

When the sunset was all over the sky, I finally saw the city of Bianjing.

"Close later!"

Wang Ju shouted loudly, and the soldiers who were about to close the city gate looked up.

"It's Wang Xianggong!"

Wang Ju then rushed to the palace to meet the emperor.

"The old man begs to see His Majesty!"

"Prince Wang, the gate of the palace is about to be closed."

The servant who came to stare at the gate of the palace said in embarrassment.

But Zhang Jing went straight in, making Wang Ju envious, "I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

"Wait."

Nian Xu was taking a walk to whet his appetite for dinner.

"Your Majesty, the king asks to see you!"

Xie Yingong reported.

"Wang Ju is back?"

Nian Xu was a little surprised, "It's too fast."

Later, Wang Ju entered the palace.

"Wang Qing has worked hard."

"I dare not speak bitterly!"

After exchanging pleasantries between the monarch and his subjects, Nian Xu asked, "How was your trip?"

"I met the King of Qin and talked about the fact that the two sides joined forces to attack the Southern Frontier Army. The King of Qin said it would be fine."

"Alright!"

These words are a little perfunctory, a little bullying!

But who made Da Zhou weak now!

Thinking of being weak, Nian Xu inevitably thought of Beizheng.

If it wasn't for the failure of the Northern Expedition, why should he bow his head and join forces with the Northern Frontier Army?

There is no need to send important ministers to the king of Qin to be humiliated.

But after reaching this matter, it will be of great benefit to Da Zhou's situation after all.

From the perspective of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the center of the Tang Dynasty was in Guanzhong, and Li Mi was still at ease in the land of Shu. The most urgent task for King Qin was to stabilize Guanzhong and then attack the land of Shu.

Therefore, Da Zhou will have a safety period of about ten years.

The Sun family left sadly outside Bianjing, and had something to say before leaving.

——If you don't fight hard to mobilize horses and horses, and don't clarify the internal affairs of the Great Zhou, the country will be in danger!
The civil servants disagreed, but Nian Xu deeply agreed.

It was the sense of crisis that prompted him to use Sun Shi to start the New Deal.

The New Deal failed, and Sun Shi resigned sadly.Last time Nian Xu wanted to use Sun Shi again, but in the end he chose to give in under the pressure of Fang Chong and his gang.

There is also a sense of crisis in this retreat.

At present, the conservative faction has the upper hand. If Sun Shi returns, with his stubborn nature, he will inevitably set off huge waves in order to seize power.

But Da Zhou can no longer toss!

Thinking of this, a gloomy look appeared in Nian Xu's eyes.

Afterwards he ordered Xie Yingong to appease Sun Shi, but Sun Shi just read the book calmly without saying a word.

Is this hopeless, or what?
No one knows.

Nian Xu collected his mind, saw Wang Ju's face full of dust, and couldn't help secretly praising the old Wang for his ability to do things, "You met the Northern Border Army, how is it?"

"Majestic."

"Where is King Qin?"

"King Qin is watching..." Wang Ju hesitated, looked at Nian Xu with gray hair, and said, "Majestic and heroic."

"Who do you like?" Nian Xu shook his head at the servant who came to ask whether the palace gate was closed, and the servant retired.

Wang Ju pondered this question countless times along the way, and now he has a well-thought-out plan.

"King Qin!"

"Why?" Nian Xu said, "The Southern Border Army is bigger."

"I see that King Qin's morale is high, and King Qin is sitting in the old land of Beiliao, Beijiang, and Guanzhong. In just a short time, countless troops can be formed in various places.

However, Shi Zhongtang was different. After the massacre of Huangzhou and Qianzhou, no one in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty was willing to serve him.He can only recruit warriors from the alien races in southern Xinjiang.One goes up and the other goes up, how can Shi Zhongtang be undefeated? "

"Wang Qing has a vision!" Nian Xu praised, then murmured with his hands behind his back.

Wang Ju stood up straight despite his fatigue.

Going to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, and then rushing desperately, is not all due to public will.

Nian Xu was quite dissatisfied with the conservatives, and always wanted to mention one person to take charge of the government.

This person must not belong to Sun Shi's group, otherwise there will be waves in the court.

This person must be well-documented, diligent, and loyal to Nian Xu.

Wang Ju is a political adviser, and has nothing to do with the conservative and New Deal factions.

This mission can be regarded as a complete merit, and the fast horse along the way can get extra points.

The respectful look at this moment is loyalty...

The chief assistant of the old man!

Wang Ju's heart was burning, and he wished that Nian Xu would immediately say, "Wang Qing can be the chief assistant."

Nian Xu pondered for a long time, "Tomorrow, the ministers will be called to discuss matters. Wang Qing has worked hard, so go back and rest."

Disappointed, Wang Ju resigned.

Watching him leave last year, Xu shook his head, "Wang Ju wants to be the chief assistant, but his background is too weak. If you let him take charge of the government, do you think he might be able to hold Peng Jing and Fang Chong down?"

He looked at Xie Yingong, who bowed his head. "Slaves dare not do politics."

"Replacing the chief assistant can't be decided with one word, and you have no chance to get involved in politics. Say it!"

The position of chief assistant is the fuse between the old and the new factions, and once it is thrown out, it will immediately lead to a war.

Xie Yingong said: "I don't know. However, I feel that Wang Xiang is not as good as Han Bi."

I didn’t make a clear statement on this, but Han Bi brought the remnants of the New Deal faction in the court, and he could only survive under the pressure of the conservative faction. If Lao Wang is weak, his own mother will only be beaten. I don't know each other.

"Yes! Even Han Bi can't!"

Nian Xu is silent.

"Father!"

Nian Xu raised his head and saw Nian Ziyue outside the hall, he couldn't help smiling, "Slim!"

"Father, it's time to eat."

"is it?"

Nian Xu found out that it was time.

"Together."

"Yes!"

The father and daughter had dinner together and took a walk outside the hall after the meal.

"Wang Ju is back."

"Yes, Zhang Jing also said something earlier."

"What did she say?"

"Just say that Wang Xiang is quite happy."

"Yes! I am quite happy too!"

Nian Xu walked with his hands behind his back, "The Northern Liao is gone. What will happen to the Great Zhou depends on this battle. I still want to occupy a place in the southern border, not to expand the territory, but to defend against the possible future invasion of the Great Tang .”

Nian Ziyue just followed.

"Ziyue, your marriage can't be delayed any longer."

Nian Xu turned to look at her daughter.

"What kind of man do you want, say, I have turned Da Zhou upside down, and I have to find you a good husband!"

Nian Ziyue shook his head, "Let's see fate!"

After finishing speaking, she took her leave.

"Hey!"

Nian Xu's sigh followed Nian Ziyue to his bedroom.

Zhang Jing just came over after taking a shower and changing clothes, followed by Nian Ziyue, covering her forehead as soon as she came in, "Father wants to find me a husband again."

A female official said with a smile: "The princess is not too young. When others are so old, they have two children."

Another person said: "The princess was delayed by being a proton in Chang'an."

"Yes!"

The female officer apologized, "But this matter can't be delayed any longer. The princess doesn't like the handsome young man in Bianjing, so what kind of husband and son-in-law do you want?"

"I don't want to hear about it."

Nianzi said happily or not.

"Yes!"

Seeing that she was unhappy, everyone left.

"Zhang Jing stay!"

After everyone left, Nian Ziyue asked: "You went to the northern border army, but did you see King Qin? How is that man now?"

Zhang Jing smiled and said:
"That man! I think he is a good match for the princess!"
