Chapter 408 Want to Buy Your Account?

There was a taste in Shi Deyun's words, and Yang Ehuang lowered his head when he heard the words, and said, "Sister, me."

Seeing Yang Ehuang, Shi Deyun seemed a little guilty, and said: "Sister, don't be like this, women on our grassland, what do you say, even if you are a leader on the grassland, which one has married more than a dozen wives? What's more, my husband is a majestic Khan, I have already prepared for this."

Yang Ehuang smiled and nodded, Shi Deyun said to Pingping who was shrinking behind her, "Pingping, this is the eldest lady."

After listening to Shi Deyun's words, Pingping shrank back even more, and stared at Yang Ehuang with a pair of shiny black eyes.

"It's still a bit of a confession," Yang Ehuang smiled, and immediately took a Dongzhu from his pocket, and said, "Is this Pingping for you to play with?"

Seeing that the Dongzhu was as big as a little finger, Li Chongjiu knew it was a tribute from the palace. He glanced at Pingping and said, "Pingping, accept what auntie gives you."

Listening to Li Chongjiu's words, Pingping stepped forward to take Dongzhu, and then thanked him with a salute.

Yang Ehuang couldn't help but smiled at Li Chongjiu: "What a good girl, she must be a beauty in the future."

Li Chongjiu nodded and went forward to touch Pingping's head. Since Huaihuang Town adopted her, Pingping is now 15 or [-] years old. According to the girl's [-]th birthday, she is going to get married soon.With Li Chongjiu's status today, it is not difficult for Pingping to marry, but how to find a man who is sincere to her is a worry for Li Chongjiu.

Fortunately, there are still a few years left, so I will worry about this later.

After meeting Shi Deyun, Yang Ehuang saw Li Chongjiu's eldest son, Li Ying, who was being carried by the maid.Li Ying is two years old, white and fat, now lying in the arms of the maid, blinking, looking around, very cute.

Yang Ehuang asked, "Can I give you a hug?"

Before Shi Deyun could speak, the maid at the side said, "Master, he has a bad temper, he admits his life, if someone else hugs him, he will cry and even bite."

Li Chongjiu frowned slightly, even if he hugged Li Ying himself, this kid didn't give him the face of being a father at all.

"It's okay! I just want to hug." Yang Ehuang said so, and Shi Deyun nodded happily.

After Yang Ehuang picked up Li Ying from the maid's shoulder, Li Ying opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to cry, everyone secretly thought that something was wrong, but this expression was only for a moment, and then he laughed happily.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it, Yang Ehuang played with Li Ying's little hand, and said to everyone: "This child has hit it off with me."

Li Chongjiu said to Yang Ehuang, Shi Deyun said: "From now on, the two of you will be his aunt and second wife, and there is no fate yet. What is it?"

Yang Ehuang hugged him for a while, and immediately returned Li Ying to the maid. Shi Deyun told Li Ying to go back to the room and let the nurse nurse him. After that, Li Chongjiu's family of four sat at the same table for dinner.

Just halfway through the meal, the county commander Ma Lin came in to pay a visit.

Li Chongjiu nodded to Lin Dangfeng, immediately put aside the half-eaten meal, put down his chopsticks, and went to the study together with Lin Dangfeng.

Lin Dangfeng reported to Li Chongjiu: "Report to Lord Shanggu, the Turkic Tuli Khan has received news that the decision to deal with Luo Khan has been cancelled, and the decision to send troops to Huaihuang Town and attack Dou Jiande from the north to the south has been cancelled."

Hearing this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing, "But Princess Yicheng moved Chuluo?"

Lin Dangfeng said: "Exactly, Princess Yicheng and Tuli Khan resolutely opposed Chuluo and Zhao Deyan's strategy of advancing eastward, saying that now Li Tang has got rid of the control of the Turks and has formed an alliance with the Tuyuhun tribe to make great achievements. , and after the Turks took Yulin and Shuofang counties by themselves, together with Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou vassal forces, they had plans to go south to fight for the world, so Chuluo Khan had given up his decision to go east."

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard the words, he was in Luo Khan, and Princess Yicheng didn't know that Zhang Changxun, the governor of Wuyuan County, had secretly taken refuge in Tuli Khan.But it was Er Tuo, Yinghe Fu and Lin Dangfeng who were the matchmaker.Otherwise, how could Zhang Changxun just push this matter to Princess Yicheng.
After all, Li Tang now has one-third of the world, and his power is so strong that even the Turkic people on the grassland can't control it. If this continues, it will be a legacy of raising tigers. Therefore, compared with Li Chongjiu, Li Tang is the most feared opponent of the Turks in the future, otherwise Li Chongjiu's successful strategy of blame Jiangdong will not be easy to succeed.

The transfer of the Turkic strategic goal can also delay Li Tang's hind legs.After all, although Li Tang is powerful now, he is still not the opponent of the Turks.

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and said: "This time Princess Yicheng gave a generous gift to Ehuang as a dowry, and I also sent a eloquent envoy to take the opportunity of reciprocating the gift to tell Princess Yicheng that in the future, I will be with the princess. His son will be the lord of Youzhou, as long as my Li family is here, the Yang family will continue to prosper from generation to generation."

Lin Dangfeng smiled and said, "This matter couldn't be easier. I'll send someone to handle it immediately. My subordinates have something to report."

"Go ahead."

Lin Dangfeng said: "A few days ago Li Yuan and Lu Chisong became Doctor Guanglu, and Lu Ziqian became Duke of Zhuojun."

Li Chongjiu's face turned cold, and he asked, "Did the Lu family agree?"

"It's already agreed, Lu Chisong, Lu Ziqian accepted Li Tang's canonization, but it was very low-key, and only a few people in the Lu family knew about it."

Li Chongjiu said: "The Lu family is taking a bet from two families, and they have both sides."

Lin Dangfeng said: "That's right. I heard that Li Yuan trusts Lu Chisong very much. I think this time, it may be that Li Yuan provoked the relationship between the Lu family and us."

Li Chongjiu said: "Yes, Li Yuan does have this plan, and the Lu family also thinks that we have nothing to do with him. If we attack the Lu family, the Lu family will completely surrender to the Tang Dynasty. This is what Li Yuan is looking forward to."

Lin Dangfeng said: "I'll ask Duke Shanggu to decide on this matter."

Li Chongjiu said with his hands behind his back: "I originally gave the Lu family a chance, but now he doesn't cherish it, so he has nothing to blame me for. He wants to accept two betrothal gifts, but I let him not get any of them!"

Li Chongjiu was really angry this time, took a deep breath, and immediately asked, "Where is Wang Yu, who has joined the army?"

Lin Dangfeng said: "Today, Muxiu should be in the official residence."

Li Chongjiu said: "Call him here immediately, I have something to say to him."
"promise."
Lin Dangfeng said: "There is one more thing, that Zhouzhou scholar these few days..."

Li Chongjiu heard the words and asked: "How is he now?"
Lin Dangfeng said with a smile: "Since the sunset, Zhou Zhou has been somewhat depressed. He was ridiculed by a few gentry scholars, so angrily, he has moved to the suburbs, farming and studying, and serving his mother at the same time."

"This is the way to be alone, but this person is still talented. Letting him fail the ranking is also a bit of tempering. You go to appease him."

"promise."

On the outskirts of Zhuo County, in the backyard of a farmhouse.

Zhou Zhou was chopping firewood. His hands, which used to hold pens, were already bleeding blisters from the ax knife, but it took half a day to chop some firewood, so he couldn't help but sit aside and rest.Thinking of the failure of the county examination that day, Zhou Zhou's mood suddenly faded. Compared with his Chinese classmates who were on the list at the time, he felt that he was particularly alone.

Especially my good friend He Xin also came to the bottom of the list and got No.10.Even his congratulatory letter, which has always been inferior to his own, is in Chinese style, so Zhou Zhou has nothing to say.

Zhou Zhou watched He Xin and his family hug each other and cry in front of the list, packed up and bowed silently by himself, and returned home to serve his mother.

A middle-aged man passed by the fence of Zhou's house, looked at it and said with a big laugh: "Young boy, how can there be someone who wears a long gown to work, and still doesn't take off his clothes, and changed into a short gown."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou looked at the gown on his body, it was soaked in sweat, and said immediately: "Thank you for reminding me, sir."

The middle-aged man said: "Nowadays, the younger generation is like this. Wen can't stabilize the country, and military can't drive out foreign invaders. That's all. They can't even do farm work. This is called high and low. It's a pity, a pity."

Zhou Zhou said indignantly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You must have read the book because you speak well. Haven't you heard that Mingzhu also has secret votes?"
The other party laughed and said: "You said that the pearl was cast in the dark, but I heard that those useless people are useless, and they hurt themselves there. You said you are talented. This time the county test, Shanggu Gong did not recognize you." The second point is that the selection of scholars is based on talent and learning, you say you have talent, why don't you get selected."

Zhou Zhou said with a sneer when he heard the words: "What meritocracy is just a joke. In this world, there are people who flatter and flatter people who run wild, while those who dare to speak out fail the rankings. Is this called meritocracy?"

The middle-aged man let out a groan, and asked back: "Could it be that you have also participated in the county test, and if you can imagine it, you must be not ranked first, otherwise you would not be farming here."

Zhou Zhou cupped his hands and said: "It's not speculative, it's useless to talk too much. Your lord has invited me. Not everyone in the world is as idle as you. I still have to work."

The other party sneered and said: "If Zhou Zhou is still like this, then you haven't learned the lesson of failing the county test."

Zhou Zhou raised his head when he heard the words, and saw the other party sneering with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you, and why do you know my name?"

The person said: "It doesn't matter who I am. I have read your papers, so what if you are so talented, but the article refers to right and wrong. Do you think that everyone in the world is drunk and I am alone? Won't you come here to see how you are now?"

Zhou Zhou immediately put down the hatchet, laughed and said: "It turns out that he is a running dog. What is Shanggu Gong, the emperor's mind of using needles and needles."

"I heard about Yao, Shun and Yu's soup. I was delighted when I heard it, and I followed the advice like a stream. But in my paper, I was only telling the truth, and I was demoted. Isn't this a guilty conscience? I dare not look directly, and I feel ashamed in my heart? To humiliate me by failing the ranking, a man should be indomitable and unstoppable when it comes to the big festival."

"Do you think Lord Shanggu wants to sell your account?" The man said coldly, "With his current status, he would come to get angry with this scholar just because you said a few words? He deliberately humiliated you ? Wouldn't it be easier to kill you?"

Zhou Zhou was taken aback when he heard this.

The person said: "I have seen a lot of underappreciated children from poor families. Like you, they generally do not accept the reality and insist on their own way. It is really lamentable."
