The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 375 Misty rain clears the pond, Youyan is busy with beacon fire

Even Zhu Wen, who is as good as a wife, would not tell the person concerned so openly if he was greedy for someone else's body.

He Renjun opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to continue the words, a blush quickly crept up on his thin cheeks, shame and embarrassment.

"That's all in the past. When I was young, when I saw a woman who was in full bloom, how could I not have these thoughts, then I am not a normal man."

Geng Qing's tone was mixed with jokes, but in the eyes of the woman, it seemed frank and not fake, but she still smiled in embarrassment as a response.

Over there, Geng Qing coughed dryly, stopped talking just now, straightened his expression, chatted with her for a while, and called the old eunuch outside the house to let the other party prepare a better house, so that Mother and son will move there tonight.

"My concubine thanked King Yong."

He Renjun stood up, even if Geng Qing didn't let her get out of bed, he still had to sit on the bed and bow his head to salute.After arranging everything and chatting for a while, Geng Qing was about to get up and leave.

"King Yong!"

The woman on the bed suddenly spoke, and Geng Qing turned around, "What else is the queen mother doing?"

"For ten years, I have always wanted to ask you something." For some reason, He Renjun's tone was agitated, he propped himself up on the edge of the bed and knelt down slowly by the corner of the table, "I want to ask King Yong, The child who was my concubine should be 12 years old, I wonder how he is doing?"

That child, Geng Qing, frowned.

Since Hu Qing took the child away that night, he has basically never seen him, but in the next few years, the other party wrote a letter to inform the child that he was safe and changed his surname.

"Hurry up, Queen Mother. I don't know the details about the child, and I'm not in Chang'an. The only news I know is that Hu Sangong sent someone from Kaochuan, Shezhou."

Geng Qing told each other bluntly, helped the woman sit by the bed, and told He Renjun the content of the letter bit by bit.

"Back then, Hu Qing took your child back to Wuyuan County, Shezhou. In order to deceive people, he changed his surname to Hu, saying that he was born in his outer room. When the woman died of dystocia, she took her back to her hometown to support her. She also renamed her Changyi. Since he was young, he was eager to learn and be smart, and determined to become an official in the imperial examination, but Hu Sangong has not told him his life experience, if the Queen Mother wants to admit it, I can send someone to Shezhou and bring them back to Kaifeng." After listening, hearing that mother and child could still recognize each other, He Renjun grasped the corner of the mattress and was silent for a while, then she shook her head.

"It's better not to recognize him as carefree. It's better not to let Chang'er come back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and just spread out in Shezhou. The concubine can be regarded as worthy of her husband."

The woman stroked her hair, she declined it after careful consideration, it is difficult for a child to save his life if he steps into this vortex.She looked at Geng Qing gratefully: "I thank King Yong!"

"It's a trivial matter. It's important for the queen mother to take good care of her body. In the future, Li Wei will arrange some errands for her. The days will pass over again, the better. That's it. Gu will leave first, and may stay in Kaifeng for a few days , If the queen mother has anything to say, you can ask someone to come to the mansion to tell you."

Geng Qing smiled and opened the door to go out, patted Li Hao on the shoulder, and said a few words of encouragement. When she walked out of the eaves, the woman stumbled to the door, almost leaning against the door frame, and softly called: "King Yong!"

"What else is there?" Geng Qing turned around.

He Renjun looked at him, and slowly lowered his body to salute: "He Renjun thanked King Yong, and wished King Yong a long life and success soon."

When the voice came, Geng Qing stood under the eaves and looked sideways at her for a long time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded.

"Then borrow the Queen Mother's good words!"

Put your hands behind your back, turn and leave.

In the distance, Zhu Youzhen woke up in a confinement house nearby. Hearing voices, she quickly got up and shouted through the iron bars of the window lattice.

"I am the emperor, let me go!"

Seeing the guards holding weapons not far away, and the eunuchs passing by, they stretched out their hands to greet them. Everyone seemed to have not heard or saw them, and they were doing their own things expressionlessly.

Not long after, the old eunuch in charge came over and asked the guards to unlock the door. With drooping eyelids, he half-opened the door. Zhu Youzhen showed surprise on his face, thinking that he was going to be let out, so he rushed to open the door.

The incoming sunlight was blocked, and a figure slowly walked in with a wooden stick in his hand.

"Your Majesty, King Yong also arranged for you to live here? It just so happens that Huo has an idea and wants to ask His Majesty for advice."

Li Hao tapped the stick in his hand with his back, looking at Zhu Youzhen who retreated in astonishment, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he lifted his foot and stretched out the door to gently close it.

For a moment, a shrill scream came from the window lattice and the door, resounding through the entire street outside.

In the farther direction, the screams became indistinct, the leaving team stopped, and Geng Qing, who was walking in front, looked back, calling Wang Yanzhang to go aside, talking while walking.

"Zhu Youzhen's matter will be decided after the war in the north is over. Are the soldiers, horses and supplies ready now?"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Youzhen, has made all the preparations for King Yong's expedition."

"That's good, I'm afraid this kid can't even do the pre-conquest matters well, and he will waste a few days alone. If so, then the three armies will start tomorrow, and the sacrifices for the expedition will not be used. He will directly cross the Yellow River north and travel through Taihang , go straight to Zhuozhou!"

Geng Qing has always been busy with more than just one thing. He chose to come here at this time, firstly to solve the problems of the court and the emperor; secondly, to return He Renjun's favor.

The last one is to give Zhu Youzhen time to complete the expedition. When he comes over, he can get it directly and send troops to Zhuozhou to reinforce Li Siyuan.

After saying that, Geng Qing walked to the stone steps in front of Chengyang Palace and stopped, looked back at the bright sunshine, squinted his eyes, and then landed on a group of generals.

"Everyone, are you ready to fight against Khitan heroes?"

Bang!
Wang Yanzhang, Xie Yanzhang, He Gui, Fu Daozhao and others clasped their fists together, and said softly, "Yes!"

"Okay, at five o'clock tomorrow, let's go out with the solitary!"

"Well—"

It was decided so quickly that the expedition had already been discussed. Before Geng Qing came to Kaifeng, Li Cunxiao had led the Longyou cavalry from Ningzhou to Yan, Yin, and Lin states, through Datong, and into Yunzhou.

The cavalry led by Li Cunxiao, who entered the territory of Yizhou, formed a circle of arms on both sides. From a grand strategy point of view, this is feasible, but the specific tactics and possible variables at that time will be different. Not sure where to change.

But Geng Qing was never worried about the Khitan people, after all, a thunder was buried behind the other party, and it would detonate at any time.

After the arrangement was made here, the generals in the army discussed for a while, finalized some details of the march and reinforcements, and did not disperse until the sun set.

In the early morning of the next day, the city was still asleep, and the barracks outside the city gradually became noisy. The carriages pulling grain and grass went to the ferry of the Yellow River first.

Arrived at five o'clock.

The fence of the camp was knocked down, and the soldiers and horses assembled in the school field already knew who the enemy was going to fight. In the color of Qingming, they lined up silently and marched along the official road.

In the near future, they will cross the river and pass through the steep Taihang Mountains. At the same time, Youzhou in the north has been caught in the fire of soldiers. It was getting dark before he was helped down the tower by his personal guards.

I had some expectations in my heart, but I didn't expect the Khitan's offensive to be so fierce.

"This is probably the time when the old man is at his peak." Sitting in the carriage, the old man said with a smile while holding warm water.
