Horse on the World

Chapter 291 each with their own minds

Li Qing's wedding was extravagant and grand. Although Dingzhou had simplified too many rules and regulations during the war, but even when several officials from the Ministry of Rituals thought it was a big violation of etiquette However, the people of Dingzhou who have lived in Bianzhu for a long time are still feasting their eyes. These people at the bottom of Dachu never thought that marriage would have such twists and turns.They watched happily, but Li Qing, the person involved, was in great distress. He let the ceremonial officials fiddle with him like a puppet, but at the same time he was worried about the battles in Mawangji and other places. Today, it should be Lu Dalin The day of the attack.The victory is unquestionable, but the counterattack of the desperate barbarians must also be unprecedented. The energy that erupts when a nation is on the verge of extinction must not be underestimated.Good luck.

The huge welcoming team marched from the outside of the city to the newly built Zhenxi Hou Mansion. Along the way, there were thunderous cheers. The only regret of the enthusiastic Dingzhou people was that they could not see the beauty and posture of the mistress of Dingzhou. The beautiful Qiding Baoxiang car blocked everyone's sight, but since she is a royal princess, her appearance and figure are naturally indistinguishable, otherwise how can she be worthy of our wise and mighty Marshal Li!The people of Dingzhou speculated about the appearance of the new mistress in their hearts, and at the same time went to Li Zheng to receive their share of the reward with great enthusiasm.

For Li Qing's big wedding, every household in Dingzhou City will get one penny, two catties of meat, and half a catty of wine (slightly smells like wine!). Look, that place is not a place where ordinary people can set foot.

At this time, in the Zhenxihou's mansion, there were high-ranking officials gathered, and there were many distinguished guests. The major forces of Chu sent powerful officers to Dingzhou in the name of Hexi. Ziqi also came to Dingzhou grandiosely with the title of deputy envoy, which made Qingfeng, who was already in a bad mood, hate his teeth even more. He locked himself in the office of the Statistics and Investigation Department, pondering Do you want to find a chance to cut this guy cleanly, so that there will be no future troubles.

After Zhong Ziqi escaped from Dingzhou, he has been jumping up and down in the hinterland of Dachu. While collecting information for King Ning, he is even more capable of wooing King Ning. His special agent Qingfeng sent to follow him is really not his opponent. Either he was played around by Zhong Ziqi, or he lost his trace in two or three strokes. When he reacted, Zhong Ziqi appeared in another place leisurely.

Not only King Ning, but also the Marquis Lu of Jing'an, who is entrenched in the north, and the Zeng clan of Zheng Guogong, who stands in the east, all sent envoys with high status in the clan to Dingzhou. We are trying our best to find a suitable opportunity to meet Li Qing.

The emperor of Great Chu is also very pitiful. What is happening now, all the aristocratic families that can shake the foundation of Great Chu, and the separatist forces have clearly known what is about to happen. Among them, the aloof Emperor Tianqi is still dreaming of Li Qing's dream of expanding the border, using his incomparable achievements as foreign aid, and revitalizing Chu.

Yuan Fang, the loyal commander of the staff department, was plotted against him, and his life and death were unknown. Ding Yu, who succeeded him, was already in the heart of Cao Ying. Deaf, blind.

These VIPs with special identities are of course sitting in the hall. It is of course unrealistic to meet Li Qing these few days, but they can get in touch with Li Qing's most important civil and military generals, Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming , From them, we can also find out the next step of Dingzhou. As for meeting Li Qing, it is of course to be able to win a worthy ally.

Regardless of how these wealthy aristocratic families and separatist warlords feel in their hearts, they all have to admit that after Li Qing pacified the barbarians, he has become one of the few figures in Dachu who can influence the direction of the entire situation, with the two states of Dingfu as his base , backed by the vast prairie, and even the Shiwei people farther away, Li Qing's strength has swelled dramatically.This is not counting the Li clan standing behind him. If this is included, Li Qing's potential is even greater.

Of course, as far as these veteran forces have been entrenched in Dachu for many years, the Li Qing faction, which is rising like a rocket, is an ally worthy of making great efforts to win over, but it is not qualified to be an opponent, and the continuous years of war with the grassland The financial, material and human resources of Dingfu and Dingzhou have been exhausted. In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for Li Qing to get involved in the Central Plains. Maybe after a few years of recuperation, he will be strong enough to win the Central Plains. It has been determined that he will never have such a good opportunity as now, so what he can do now is to choose one of the many forces, and choose the one that he thinks has the best chance to take the lead in forming an alliance.

Whether it is King Ning, the Lu family in the north, or the Zeng family in the east, they all have strong self-confidence in themselves, and they have the spirit of giving me no one else. Sitting in the VIP hall at the same time, it is natural that there is no lack of rhetoric. War, cynicism.

Li Qing came over, toasted a glass of wine one by one, then withdrew from the table, while Shang Haibo stayed here with a smile on his face. Naturally, it is very clear that his own commander-in-chief has become the target of these top elites, and in the eyes of these people, he is of course someone who can exert great influence on the commander-in-chief. He raised his wine glass to himself, and said some slanderous words that even he was a little embarrassed to hear, Shang Haibo was filled with emotion.

A few years ago, I was still an arrogant scholar in Shouning Hou Mansion, eating a bowl of idle food, looking at other people's eyes, listening to other people's laughter, and by chance, I came to Dingzhou I'm afraid that I didn't expect that at the time of a whim, I would realize my lifelong dream, learn the dragon slaying technique, and sell it to the emperor's family. Since the emperor's family doesn't want me, then I will support a new emperor. , and Li Qing is the hero he has been looking for for many years.

Is the golden scale a thing in the pool, it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm.Thinking back carefully back then, I'm afraid I didn't expect that the resolute but slightly young Lieutenant Yunhui I saw back then could grow into a commander in a few years. It can change the face of the world, and the three hundred remnants of the defeated generals have now become tens of thousands of soldiers, and the mighty army of Chu.At that time, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, Feng Guo, Tang Hu, and Yang Yidao were all insignificant soldiers, but now they are all generals who command tens of thousands of troops. Every point, every drop, is condensed with my own sweat and toil.

Those famous aristocrats who were afraid that they would not even look at me in the past, now they are smiling and toasting to themselves frequently. When I was in Dingzhou, I really left in a fit of anger, so how can I be so energetic today!
Looking at these so-called distinguished guests with cold eyes, Shang Haibo laughed in his heart, just wait, wait for me to assist the commander-in-chief to sweep across the world, and sweep you high-ranking people into the garbage dump of history. The future history of Chu will be written by us in Dingzhou.

Of course, the current Dingzhou, just as these people think, needs to be educated and wait for the opportunity. The chaos in the Great Chu will not be able to tell the winner within a few years, but let you dog bite the dog first. It is a great opportunity for us in Dingzhou to benefit from both sides and profit from it.

Among the people in the hall, Zhong Ziqi is the one who has the clearest understanding of Li Qing. Li Qing is by no means the kind of person who is willing to be a woman, but the current situation does not leave much time for Li Qing. Ziqi also believed that as long as His Royal Highness Ning Wang could quickly settle the situation and pacify the Central Plains before Li Qing's Liao Ya had fully grown, then no matter how ambitious Li Qing was, he could only submit to His Royal Highness Ning. Li Qing can defeat the grassland in a short period of time, but it is absolutely impossible to shake the vast hinterland of the Central Plains with the land of Dingfu and the two states when the overall situation of the Central Plains is determined. Convince Li Qing, the fierce tiger.

What Zhong Ziqi wanted to do was to allow Li Qing to effectively contain the Xiao family after the pacification of the grassland. This was not only because of the long-standing feud between the Li and Xiao families, but also because Lanzhou was adjacent to Dingfu, and these two states had already taken refuge in Xiao. Under such circumstances, Li Qing couldn't help but be wary of these two prefectures. As long as Li Qing made an attack on these two prefectures at that time, it would be enough to make Xiao's brain troubled.

There are intrigues in the VIP hall, and there are also thoughts in the lobby outside.

Xiang Wenjin and Long Sihai were also invited to the banquet because of their contributions to the issuance of bonds in Dingzhou. You must know that there are so many great merchants in Dingfu and Fuzhou, but the people who can be invited to sit here There are only a few people in Liao Liao, and when he was honored, Xiang Wenjin was also extremely grateful for his decisive action at the beginning, to save money and avoid disasters. From the current point of view, not only did disasters be avoided, but the future is bright. Right now, he is in Dingzhou He is a director of the Department of Commerce and Trade, but what makes him a little displeased is that Long Sihai, a country rich man from Jing'an, is not only the same as himself, he has also become a director of the Department of Commerce and Trade, and he is far higher than himself when arranging seats.The local rich man's speculation at that time achieved huge returns. Not only was his son expropriated as an official by the state government, but Marshal Li even handed over the production rights of a batch of military supplies to him. This is a monopoly operation, and the huge profits can be imagined Know.

Long Sihai, who was envied by Xiang Wenjin, has reason to be happy. His investment has never failed in his life, and now he is ushering in the peak of his career, closely following Marshal Li, and the Long family will climb the ladder in his own hands. Going up to the peak, I glanced at the VIP hall inside. Maybe after a few years, I or my son will have the opportunity to go inside and become a guest there.

The congratulators had their own thoughts, but Li Qing, who was slightly drunk, came to the bridal chamber under the guidance of several maids.Tang Hu, who was conscientious, followed suit step by step.

"Huzi, go and have a good drink, today, you don't need to follow me!" Li Qing waved his hand and smiled.The girls around him also burst out laughing.
