Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 45 Zhu Wende Ji Jingxiang Mission
Bianliang, Xuanwu Army Jiedushi mansion partial room, unitary time.

Zhu Wen and Jing Xiang sat on the table as guests of honor. There were several cases in front of them, and they sat on the floor, while several people behind them waited on them.

The case table is covered with meat, and the attendant stands behind holding a wine jug.

Zhu Wen didn't greet Jingxiang either. He drank several cups, sighed, and said, "Du Rangneng and others are really inappropriate. As a court assistant, all they do is harm the people. Then Li Ya'er is a shameless person." Tuo bandit Hu, put it in Heyang, and do the actions of the bandit."

Jing Xiang remained silent, didn't even move his wine glass, his brows were tightly furrowed, the current situation is indeed difficult to understand.

Needless to say, Qin Zongquan in Caizhou, after the defeat of Huang Chao, many thieves were acquired by Qin Zongquan. In these years, Qin Zongquan attacked the surrounding 17 states, gathered tens of thousands of people, and was arrogant. Although Caizhou West was wiped out half a year ago, but now, and The ashes revived, and the country was invaded repeatedly. Jieshuai had no choice but to order the general Pang Shigu to gather [-] troops and station them in Songzhou.

And Li Cunxiao in Heyang was tireless. Although there were not many soldiers, thousands of cavalry were really fast. They plundered the land of several states, and the people were afraid to live there. land, the fields are barren.General Ge Congzhou gathered [-] troops to defend Hecheng.

The two strong enemies were divided into [-] strong soldiers, but they were still unable to control them. Sun Ru in Huainan invaded the border from time to time.It's really a dilemma, a dilemma.

Jing Xiang picked up the wine glass, took a full sip, because he drank in a hurry, choked his trachea, and couldn't help coughing several times.

There is also a long sigh in my heart. Half a year ago, the commander-in-chief stationed fifty thousand troops in Songzhou. The soldiers were well-equipped with food and supplies. There was Shannan Dongdao in the west and Zhaoyi in the north. Only one imperial edict from the imperial court and several vassals marched together. At that time, Li Keyong was not afraid even if he intervened in Heyang.

But now, the army is divided into two lines, and several states are famined. There may be a big famine this year.

Very serious consequences.

If there is no food, there will be no soldiers, and if there are no soldiers, all will become vain.

"Sir, if I hadn't retreated at that time and had fought Li Keyong to the death, would I have been able to solve this problem?"

Jing Xiang looked at Zhu Wen with some surprise, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, how can we survive the military affairs? The current situation is urgent. This year's autumn grain harvest is very little. According to the current budget, there may be no food in March next year. My lord." It is better to make a decision early, otherwise, disaster will come."

Zhu Wen put down his wine glass and said: "This is the end of the matter. I have spent all the treasury money in Jinzhou to buy grain according to my husband's plan, but it is not fundamental. Heyang is uncertain, and I am not at ease."

Jing Xiang said: "Although Zhaoyi's soldiers are not available, but the League thinks that the east of the river is holding back, and Wei Bo's internal disasters cannot be cured, so it may be difficult to send troops. It's just..."

Zhu Wen asked anxiously, "Just how?"

Jing Xiang frowned, looked at Zhu Wen and said, "My lord, Du Rangneng's talent was not revealed during the late emperor's time. I think that this policy may not have been contributed by Du Rangneng, and there is no news in Beijing. If so If people are not eliminated, they may become serious troubles."

Zhu Wen was startled and said: "It's not Du Rangneng? Who is that, I'm destined... hey..."

"My lord, could it be!"

Picking up his wine glass, Zhu Wen said with sharp eyes, "Who is it, let me find out, and his body will be broken into pieces."

Jingxiang said: "This person looks at the situation and sees the fire clearly. He must be afraid that the Lord will pacify Caizhou. Confrontation, cutting off Bian and Jin, the imperial court is sitting to reap the benefits, if this person is not eliminated, if the army is sent out now, there may be unexpected changes, the Lord must not ignore it."

Zhu Wen nodded and said: "There are no prime ministers and assistants in the capital, and there are no eunuchs to entrust. The emperor's confidential matters are unknown. I want to send envoys to Beijing to investigate the truth, but I am afraid that the entrustment will be wrong." Man, who do you think is available?"

Seeing Zhu Wen looking at him aggressively, Jing Xiang didn't know what he meant, the banquet was probably for this purpose!
"My lord entrusts me so much, I am humble and dare not refuse, I should do my best to repay the lord's favor!"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Sir, I will definitely live up to me. I have prepared treasures to play with, and there are dozens of beauties to present to Your Majesty. After you arrive in Chang'an, you should spread your money widely and make friends with courtiers, so as to show your loyalty to the emperor and patriotism." I mean, if you can say (Shui) Your Majesty, join forces with all the vassals to fight against Hedong, then the danger in Bianjing will be solved by itself..."

Jing Xiang felt that the matter was of great importance, but he never expected that Zhu Wen had such high expectations for this matter, and Jing Xiang was not sure in his heart, how dare he boast about Haikou, besides, if His Majesty has a strange person to accompany him, I am afraid that this trip will also be a disaster. Longtan Tiger Den.

Thinking of this, I felt sad, stood up, walked into the hall, clasped my fists to salute Zhu Wen, and said, "Be humble and do your best."

Zhu Wen walked down the hall, took Jing Xiang's hand and said, "Everything is up to you, sir!"

……

Jingxiang returned to the mansion. This is the courtyard of the two entrances. It was originally the private house of the governor of Bianzhou. Zhu Wen gave him this house to live in, and rewarded dozens of servants to serve him.

Entering the inner hall, he saw a woman lying on her side on a bed, listening to music, Jing Xiang frowned, this girl is indeed beautiful, her jade fingers are like green onions, her skin is like fat, her brows are crescent moon, although she is a little older, the corners of her eyes are slightly There are wrinkles, but it doesn't have a taste.

Ke Jingxiang just glanced at it, and was lazy to say a word, but secretly said in his heart: "Disgrace the ancestors!"

This daughter Liu Shi, the wife of Jingxiang, was gifted by Zhu Wen. She experienced amazing experiences. She was born as the daughter of Lantian Ling. The prostitute was later acquired by Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen rewarded the girl to Jing Xiang.

Forget about the past, and Jing Xiang has nothing to worry about. To Jing Xiang's embarrassment, after Zhu Wen rewarded Jing Xiang with the Liu family, Lao Zhu regretted it.

Whenever Jingxiang was attacking on official business, he called Liu's family to sleep.

After Jingxiang learned about it, his words revealed dissatisfaction, and he did not expect to be blamed by Mrs. Liu, saying: "I serve all important ministers and heroes. Your family status is too poor. It is really humiliating me. Please divorce me today. , let me go."

The three views are completely destroyed, so what can I do!
When Jing Xiang heard this, how dare he care about it, if this woman blows the pillow wind in front of Zhu Wen, will she still survive?I had no choice but to endure the humiliation and apologize to her, and after that, I became like a passerby.

　Note: After Shang Rang's death, the Liu family returned to Shi Pu, the Jiedushi of the Wuning Army. After Zhu Wen destroyed Shi Pu, he got the Liu family and later gave it to Jing Xiang. The plot of the novel requires that the Liu family become Jing Xiang's wife. for two years.
