Chapter 591 Back to Luoyang (first update)
Mrs. Cui really didn't expect this result to happen in the end.Originally, her daughter was beautiful and beautiful, and she was also a noble daughter of the Cui family. There was nothing Li Chongjiu didn't like, so it was definitely no problem to marry into the royal family.Even his husband, who lives in seclusion at home, would agree to this decision, after all, it was Guangyao Cui's family.

But I didn't expect Li Chongjiu to be the master and betroth his daughter to this kid surnamed Zhang.Mrs. Cui didn't like this kid surnamed Zhang. The Zhang family of Qinghe was considered a powerful Qinghe county, but it was far behind the seven clans and five surnames.

Only the common people of the Cui family in Qinghe would grant this to a second-rate noble family like the Zhang family, and if Mrs. Cui agreed to this marriage today, wouldn’t it be that she lost this person, not only the Cui family of Qinghe, but also her natal Xingyang Zheng's side also felt that the standard of the five surnames was lowered because of this incident.

Mrs. Cui's expression was slightly cold, Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "What's the matter, is the old lady unwilling?"

Mrs. Cui thought this was not good, she had fallen into the trap set by Li Chongjiu, and she had said something beforehand, but can she go back on her word at this moment?

Mrs. Cui could only look at Cui Junsu for help, hoping that he would make up his mind.

Who knew that Cui Junsu coughed lightly, but acted as if he hadn't seen anything.Mrs. Cui couldn't help being furious. Thanks to her husband, he also said that Cui Junsu is a talented person from the Cui family. He didn't expect that he wouldn't even fart in front of Li Chongjiu. It seems that his edges and corners have been smoothed over the past few years. .

Cui Junsu didn't express his opinion anymore, what else could Mrs. Cui do, she could only say: "Your Majesty bestowed the marriage with his own mouth, and I can only obey my orders."

Li Chongjiu heard Mrs. Cui's reluctance, but he just made it happen.Li Chongjiu looked at Zhang Wenguan and said, "What do you think?"

"The grass people are very grateful to be granted the marriage by His Majesty himself, and wish to repay it with a ring of grass for generations to come."

Zhang Wenguan's brows were already twitching, and his face was full of joy, while Sun Chuyue and Lai Ji were also happy for their friends.

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Don't thank me too early, I just completed a good story. I hope that lovers in the world will finally get married. I said that you can only marry Miss Cui if you pass the county test. If you fail the county test, So don't mention everything, understand? I will personally read your papers at that time. If you don't have real talents and learning, even Cui Junshou and Qinghe County Zongzheng, who sacrificed wine and took your first place, I think it's inappropriate, so I will dismiss you. Understand Yet?"

As soon as Li Chongjiu's words came out, Cui Junsu thought secretly that Li Chongjiu checked the papers himself, which seemed to save the Cui family's face, but in fact it was tantamount to eliminating the possibility of him secretly using his hands and feet to defeat Zhang Wenguan.

In his opinion, Li Chongjiu seems to be fair to Abbot Zhang Wenguan. To make this good story come true, in fact Li Chongjiu's plan is far more than that.The second is to subdue the hearts of the people and let the humble scholars return to their hearts.The third is the promotion of the county examination. The status of the county examination has pointed out a round for the poor. In the past, the rules of judging people by family status even broke the sense of superiority of the aristocratic family from the perspective of intermarriage.

Killing three birds with one stone, Cui Junsu thought that this move was too powerful. Although Li Chongjiu did not suppress the gentry, but promoted the poor family, which is to suppress in disguise.

After dealing with the matter of the Cui family, Cui Junsu said to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, the matter is over, and it is time to go back to Luoyang. The empress and empress Xiao are still waiting for your majesty at the Qinghe pier?"

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "It's not too late, let's set off now and go to Luoyang!"

For Li Chongjiu, the matter of Qinghe County was very rewarding. Not only did he get a beautiful woman, but he also laid a chess piece for weakening the power of the gentry in the future.But when Li Chongjiu thought of Yang Ehuang, if he found out that he was with Li Zhiwan, he didn't know what to do, and he felt a slight headache.
On the contrary, the three of Zhang Wenguan walked out of Pujiu Temple. When the fellow scholars learned that not only were the three not punished, but that they had married the Cui family, they couldn't help being overjoyed and shouted for Your Majesty's wisdom.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing when he heard the cheers from the scholars outside the temple.

However, it is said that Li Chongjiu is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Luoyang. He has already sent people to send a message to the warlords in the north and south.

Wu County, within the camp of the Jianghuai Army.

Du Fuwei, wearing a golden crown on his head, sat on a grand teacher's chair, discussing military plans with the important generals Fu Gongyou, Wang Xiongxi, Zuo Youxian, Kan Ling and others.

In front of Du Fuwei was Wu County Suzhou, Li Shentong's headquarters in Jiangbei.

Li Shentong called himself the King of Wu, and his reign name was Mingzheng, and he had just defeated Shen Faxing, who lived side by side with Li Shentong and Du Fuwei as one of the three major Jianghuai powers.Now only Du Fuwei and Li Shentong are left as the heroes of the Jianghuai River.

The decisive battle between Du Fuwei and Li Shentong is related to who can dominate Jianghuai.

Du Fuwei is now leading 5000 Jianghuai troops to Wu County, of which [-] are his elite recruits, and there are [-] Jianghuai soldiers. Pass Li Shentong.

After Shen Faxing was forced to death by Li Shentong, he took over the rest of the army, and there were only 2 horses. Now the two armies are facing each other at Dusongling, and Li Shentong is guarding against the danger, not daring to fight.

Du Fuwei looked at the map and said: "Li Shentong is a good guy. He has been defeated by someone several times, and he can make a comeback. This person can be regarded as someone that my old Du can respect."

Fu Gongyou said: "So what? He is not the king's defeated general. After breaking Wu County this time, I will see where Li Shentong can escape and make a comeback."

Du Fuwei said: "Of course."

While speaking, Zuo Youxian said: "Your Majesty, after Li Chongjiu occupied Luoyang, he spread the word to the world, saying that Lord Zhao will ascend the throne in Luoyang in the near future, and now he spreads the word to the heroes of the world, saying that Li Yuan is a rebel, and invites the heroes of the world to fight together!"

After hearing the words, Du Fuwei said: "Did Li Chongjiu also send me a letter?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you also invite our army to attack Li Tang?"

Du Fuwei stroked his beard and said, "Don't Li Chongjiu know that I, Du Fuwei, are facing Li Tang? I sent two brothers, Zhengtong and Shaozong, with 2000 troops to aid Tang, but they fought Zhao Jun before."

"So what?" Fu Gongyou said, "Our Jianghuai Army occupies Jianghuai, if Li Shentong is defeated to rule Jianghuai, even with the strength of Li Yuan and Li Chongjiu today, we will have the strength to fight."

Du Fuwei clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "Your uncle's words are pleasing to your ears."

Zuo Xianyou said: "It's just that Li Chongjiu is occupying Luoyang right now, and Li Tang can't get out of Guanzhong. If the Zhao army comes to attack us, Li Tang will be too far behind. I'm worried that Li Chongjiu will send a general to guard Luoyang in the next step, and lead his army to sweep Shandong and go south. Jiangnan."

Fu Gongyou said: "Shandong, there are many lords in Jianghuai, not to mention those who are far away. In Jianghuai, besides our army, Li Zitong, and Wang Hua from She and Xuan Liuzhou. Wang Shibian of Xuzhou who descended to the Tang Dynasty. There are Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong in Shandong. Chunyu Nan, Qi Gongshun, and Zang Jun who have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty are surrounded by other heroes. Although Zhao Jun is strong, he wants to defend Luoyang in front of Li Yuan on the one hand. To attack Shandong and Jianghuai, I am afraid that Li Chongjiu will not have that many troops."

Wang Xiong salivated: "Then what does Fu Gong mean, we contact all the heroes and defend the Jianghuai River together to resist Zhao's southward invasion?"

Zuo Xianyou said: "This is not easy to do. If he is blatant, Li Chongjiu will be regarded as a target of public criticism. If he is enraged and attacks our Jianghuai army first, then although our army is not afraid, it will definitely hinder us from going south to the south of the Yangtze River. However, if Li Chongjiu can subdue one or two Shandong heroes, Shandong Jianghuai may be under the general trend, and it depends on the spread. At that time, Li Chongjiu and Shandong With the power of the Jianghuai heroes, we will regret it when we go south to the south of the Yangtze River."

Hearing what Zuo Xianyou said, everyone nodded, and Du Fuwei also said: "Zuo Aiqing is right, her arms can't twist her thighs, Li Tang, it's better for Da Zhao not to be evil, or not to be evil, what are you doing?" Do you have any tricks, tell me quickly?"

Fu Gongyou said: "Based on the present situation, Li Chongjiu has not yet conquered Shandong, and our Jianghuai army will not be our main opponent. What we are actually worried about is that other princes will surrender, so we only need to be wary of which princes may surrender Li Chongjiu. "

Zuo Xianyou clasped his hands together and said: "Great Minister Fu, Wang Shibian, Chun Yunan, Qi Gongshun, and Zang Junxiang should not surrender to Zhao. They have already sent their hostage to Chang'an, and their power is small. They are determined to surrender to Tang. , can be regarded as Li Yuan's confidant, unlike our Jianghuai army's surrender to the Tang Dynasty, we only obeyed Li Yuan's edict, but we did not listen to the announcement. So I have to worry about the neutral Wang Hua, Wenren Suian, Xu Yuanlang , four families of Meng Haigong."

Du Fuwei said: "Wang Hua, Wenren Suian and two people must be firmly grasped, otherwise it will be tantamount to letting Li Chongjiu drive a nail under my Du Fuwei's nose. If the two dare to subdue Zhao Guo, we will Old Du dares to fight Zhao Jun, even if he gets rid of his old base, he doesn't care. As for Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong and Meng Haigong are far away in Shandong, he can do whatever he likes with Li Chongjiu, and I, Old Du, don't care."

Fu Gongyou said: "Then, my lord, the following is very clear. Although Zhao Jun has called our army to attack the Tang Dynasty, we cannot agree, but we can't hate Li Chongjiu. We can send an envoy to congratulate Li Chongjiu on his proclaiming the emperor. , And told Li Chongjiu that our Jianghuai army had no intention of going north to Shandong, but also secretly told Li Chongjiu not to extend our hands to Jianghuai, otherwise forcing our army to fall to Li Tang's side with all our strength would be of no benefit to his plan to unify the world. "
Zuo Xianyou said: "Great Minister Fu, when Da Zhao takes possession of Shandong, we have also defeated Li Shentong, and then we will not be afraid of Li Chongjiu. This is a strategy to slow down the army."

Du Fuwei laughed loudly and said: "That's exactly the case. We sent people to Chang'an to ask for troops and food, and Li Yuan would definitely agree. As long as I break Li's supernatural powers, Jiangnan will be my Du Fuwei's world."
