marquis of jingan

Chapter 472
Anping Hou Mansion.

Because the [-]th birthday of the old matriarch of the Marquis of Anping is approaching, General Zhao, Marquis of Anping also rushed back from the Huaihe Navy in advance to prepare for the old mother's birthday.

At this moment, this General Zhao was in his study, looking through some information about Northern Qi, and in front of him stood Zhao Zhuo, the most favored son of the third generation of the Zhao family.

Zhao Zhuo bent slightly, lowered his head and said, "Father, Qian Qing from Zhejiang, went to the camp of the anti-Japanese army a few days ago, and has already written a letter."

General Zhao was silent for a while, then put the book in his hand aside, and looked up at his son. He didn't ask Qian Qing what he saw when he entered the anti-Japanese army camp, but asked: "You and this Qian Qing, how did you get on?"

Although Zhao Zhuo was domineering and domineering in Jiankang City, he was very afraid of his father. When he was stared at by Zhao Lu, he trembled in his heart, and quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Dad, the child didn't get along with this Qian. To deal with it, it was just a friend of Jiankang who made good friends with Qian Qing's son, so the boy gave them some hints, and Qian Qing went to Yueqing for us."

"That's what you meant too..."

Zhao Zhuo bowed his head and said, "Didn't you say that we should pay attention to this anti-Japanese army raised by some Jin princes going south?"

"Let you pay attention, you just send someone to investigate secretly."

Zhao Lu snorted: "A second-rank local official will go for you, you have such a big face!"

You know, Qian Qing, the second rank, is a civil servant of the second rank.

If the Zhao family didn't have a Huaihe naval division, it wasn't the so-called "Zhao Clan", but just an ordinary general. If Zhao Lu himself saw Qian Qing, Qian Fantai might not care about him.

Zhao Zhuo lowered his head slightly and said, "Father, no matter what, this matter has nothing to do with our family, besides, Qian Qing is the governor of Zhejiang Province, so it is reasonable for him to go to Yueqing to have a look..."

Zhao Lu just glanced at his son, and sighed slightly: "How did he find out?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that his father would not say anything more about this matter, the eldest son of Zhao quickly lowered his head and said, "Father, according to what Qian Qing saw, this resistance Although the number of Japanese soldiers is small, the situation in the big camp is only slightly better than that of the local guards. Jin Shizi went south this time, and I heard that they spent a huge amount of money. Up to now, they have spent a lot of money to build buildings along the coast. The shipyard, and the boat has not yet been built."

Having said that, Zhao Zhuo paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "It is absolutely impossible for this kind of army to fight against the people of Qi..."

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Lu raised his head, glanced at his son, then frowned and said: "You are smart, who said they are going to fight with the Qi people?"

"and also."

The Marquis of Anping stood up directly from his chair. He walked up to his son, took a deep look at Zhao Zhuo, and asked, "Can they fight against the people of Qi? Will they be able to fight against the people of Qi?" , that's all His Majesty's business, it's not something you or I can talk about!"

"You're not too young."

Zhao Lu snorted: "In the past, you were messing around in Jiankang City. As a father, you can pretend to turn a blind eye and ignore it, but now you are about to take over the family business slowly, you should understand , the truth that misfortune comes from the mouth.”

"If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, after the Chinese New Year this year, you should stop staying in Jiankang and go to the Huaihe Navy with me to work."

In front of his father, Zhao Zhuo naturally did not have the domineering attitude of Mr. Zhao Jiankang. After hearing his father's words, he quickly bowed his head and said, "Father, my son has made a note."

"Don't worry about the anti-Japanese army."

The Marquis of Anping returned to his seat, reached out and knocked on the table, waved and said, "Whatever you should do."

Zhao Zhuo nodded quickly, and retreated despondently.

After Zhao Zhuo left, Zhao Lu sat alone in his seat. After thinking for a while, he said calmly, "Eucommia."

Soon, a young man in his 20s opened the door and walked in, then half-kneeled in front of Zhao Lu, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty orders."

"Did you hear what the young master said?"

Du Zhong lowered his head and said, "Your subordinates have been outside the door the whole time, and you all heard it."

"Go and see if there are any mistakes in what the young master has done. If there are mistakes, you can make up for them."

Du Zhong quickly lowered his head and said, "This subordinate understands."

He was about to get up when he heard Zhao Lu continue to say: "After finishing these things, go to Yueqing and see what's going on there."

Du Zhong raised his head, revealing a tough face with scars: "Are you going to kill that Shen Yi?"

Zhao Lu frowned: "That's the court official, who told you to kill him? Do you want to kill him?"

"Go and see what's going on first. I'll go back to the barracks in a few days. Send your news directly to me in the barracks, and wait for my follow-up instructions."

Du Zhong bowed his head again: "This subordinate understands."

………………

The next day, the emperor summoned Zhao Lu, Marquis of Anping, again in Ganlu Hall.

This is already Zhao Lu's second summoning after returning to Jiankang.

In the Ganlu Palace, General Zhao still knelt respectfully in front of the emperor, and was about to kowtow to salute, when the emperor on the throne waved his hand, motioning him to stand up and speak.

As soon as Zhao Lu got up, the eunuch Gao Ming moved a chair for him and put it behind him.

Anping Hou bowed his head to express his thanks, and then sat down cautiously.

On the throne, the emperor saw Zhao Lu sitting down, and said with a smile: "How is the general resting these few days?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and everything is fine with me."

The emperor nodded and said with a smile, "It's good for the general to rest well."

Zhao Lu seemed to feel something, he looked up at the emperor, then lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty summoned you suddenly, is there something wrong?"

The emperor glanced at a document in front of him with a low eyebrow, and smiled lightly: "Nothing serious happened, but someone sent a letter back last night, saying that the Qi people in the north have not been doing well recently. More than anything."

Zhao Lu's complexion changed, he stood up quickly, cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Qi suddenly increased their troops, and there may be some changes. I will ride a fast horse back to the Huaihe Camp..."

The emperor shook his head first, and then said lightly: "The people of Qi are acting like this, it's just because the silver cloth for the second half of the year should be sent to them, so don't make a fuss."

Before the emperor got married, he had a peace talk with the people of Qi, agreeing that Chen Guo would give Qi some money, cloth and some beauties. The two parties stopped fighting and made peace, and the Northern Qi emperor married his own "princess" to the emperor of Chen Guo. .

However, these money and cloth were not given all at once, mainly because they were afraid that the Qi people would turn their heads and deny it after taking the money and things.

Now that it was the end of the year, people from Qi came to ask for money again.

Zhao Lu knelt on the ground, his face ashamed: "The people of Qi are so rampant, it is a shame for the generals like me."

"Forget it, it's better not to mention Beiqi, it makes me a little upset."

The emperor showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "The old matriarch's birthday is tomorrow, isn't it?"

Zhao Lu lowered his head and said, "Yes..."

"The old lady is getting old, I don't know what to give her, how about this..."

The emperor looked at Zhao Lu with a smile on his face.

"How about we two get married again?"
