Chapter 595 Love of Licking a Calf (Second Change)

Li Chongjiu looked at the crucian carp bones on the food table, and then thought that this fish was caught by Zhou Zhou and Pingping, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Li Chongjiu looked at Shi Deyun and asked, "How did Zhou Zhou and Pingping know each other?"

Shi Deyun said: "Ping Ping told me that she was a little seasick in the past few days, so I told her that it would be better if she went to the deck to get some fresh air, and Zhou Canjun often came to fish on the deck in his free time. Ask Zhou Canjun to teach her how to fish. Many people know about this, but His Majesty has always paid attention to military and state affairs, but only now understands."

Li Chongjiu knew from the bottom of his heart when he heard this, he knew that Zhou Zhou liked fishing, but he was not sure whether Zhou Zhou intended to take over Jiang Ping.

Zhou Zhou's personality is known to Lu Chongjiu. He is very talented, but he is also proud of his talent. When he was studying in the county school, he organized scholars to discuss the matter in the Zhaoxian Building, and even criticized him during the county examination. affairs of state.Li Chongjiu lost his name to Sun Shan, but later took pity on his talent and asked him to go to Beiping County as a ninth-rank official.

However, even if Zhou Zhou is a minor official, this person is still very capable. Zhou Bo, the governor of the county, has repeatedly played this person in memorials. Zhou Zhou's mentor, Zhou Xu, also wrote a letter to recommend this person to Li Chongjiu, and he must not be overqualified.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu specially promoted him to join the army as a navy and entrusted him with important tasks as a navy. Zhou Zhou deserves credit for Zhao Jun's navy to have the scale it has today and enter the Yellow River to fight.Li Chongjiu originally intended to promote Zhou Zhou because of this matter, but Zhou Zhou had a bad relationship with his superior, the sheriff Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin impeached Zhou Zhou many times.After seeing Zhao Xin's memorial, the officials of Zhongshu Province didn't like Zhou Zhou very much.Even the censor of the court impeached Zhou Zhou, and there was no such thing as the Minister of Zhao.

For Li Chongjiu, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong between Zhao Xin and Zhou Zhou. As a monarch, he has too much to do.As long as Pingping was involved, Li Chongjiu had to treat it with caution.Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that at the beginning of the year, Zhao Xin's father, Zhao Heran, also intentionally asked Zhao Xin to marry Pingping as his wife, and made Zhao Xin the chief son-in-law of the Great Zhao Empire.

Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile. Zhao Xin and Zhou Zhou were classmates of the county school. In the county examination, Zhao Xin won the first place, while Zhou Zhou's name fell to Sun Shan. As the governor of the county, Zhao Xin is young and promising when he is less than 30 years old as the head of a county.However, Zhou Zhou has been working hard for many years, but he is still an eighth rank joining the army. The contrast between the two is not small at all.

And now are the two fighting together again?But if Zhou Zhou really intends to accept Pingping, Li Chongjiu might as well marry Pingping to Zhao Xin.

In the afternoon, Li Chongjiu walked from the cabin to the top deck without the guards following him.

At this time, the sky was a bit dark, and the imperial boat was going upstream, and the turbid waves of the Yellow River swayed the hull of the boat.Li Chongjiu's boat has arrived at Banzhudu, which is north of Xingyang City. At the beginning, Yang Guang built the Tongji Canal to divert the Yellow River from Banzhu to the Huai River. The people also called this river Yuhe.

For the sake of elegance, Yang Guang planted willow trees on both sides of the river. After the death of the Sui Dynasty, the local people called this embankment Sui.Looking at it from the boat now, there is a pleasant view of the ancient crossing willows under the setting sun.

Li Chongjiu looked towards the side of the boat, but saw that Zhou Zhou and Heping were really together on the side of the deck.The two were very close, almost shoulder to shoulder, Zhou Zhou held a fishing rod in his hand and said to Ping Ping: "My fishing method is fishing without bait."

"Don't laugh, you must be joking that I am like Mr. Jiang, how to fish without bait, but in fact there is a trick."

Hearing what Zhou Zhou said, Ping Ping gently brushed his hair blown away by the wind, smiled and shook his head at Zhou Zhou, expressing that he believed in him.Li Chongjiu couldn't help being surprised when he saw Pingping's caressing movements, when did Pingping appear so beautiful.

Thinking back when she rescued Pingping in Hedong, Pingping was just a sallow and thin girl who was born dumb and unable to speak, which made her feel very inferior.Later, her mother died in the battle to protect Huaihuang Town. Li Chongjiu took pity on him and adopted her as a righteous daughter.

At the beginning, it was just a moment of pity, but after years of affection, Li Chongjiu saw that Pingping had grown up and finally became a beautiful [-]-year-old girl, just like every father, and his heart was full of joy.Now Li Chongjiu only looks at Pingping, his eyes glance over Zhou Zhou from time to time, there is a trace of ignorance in his innocent eyes, Li Chongjiu probably has a good impression of Zhou Zhou seeing Pingping's expression.

What do Zhou Zhou and Pingping mean?Pingping has been lonely since she was a child, and he must not let her suffer a little bit of harm, otherwise I will really feel sorry for her.

"It's good to see how you bend the hook. I learned it from a Jianghuai barbarian."

"Cough!" Li Chongjiu coughed lightly from a distance.

When Pingping and Zhouzhou suddenly heard the coughing sound, they both turned their heads.Seeing Li Chongjiu, both of them showed surprise expressions.

"My minister sees Your Majesty!" Zhou Zhou bowed first, and Ping Ping leaped to Li Chongjiu's side with joy.

Li Chongjiu patted Pingping's head, looked at Zhou Zhou and said, "Zhou Canjun didn't expect that you would not only know how to fish, but also get the true biography of Jiang Taigong. Those who wish to take the bait!"

Zhou Zhou heard Li Chongjiu say this: "I am afraid, and I don't understand what your majesty means."

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou and said, "Don't panic, I don't mean anything else. I watched her grow up since she was a child, and she is no different from my own daughter. Zhou Zhou, you can get along very well with Pingping. I am very happy, let alone Pingping I have had no friends since I was a child, and I really like that she has someone to get along with and speculate with."

Zhou Zhou said with a smile at this time: "Your Majesty, Ping Ping has a simple mind, as if she is as clear as a crystal, shining brightly. I have never seen such a simple woman."

After listening to Zhou Zhou's words, Ping Ping smiled and tilted his head towards Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu smiled, said to Pingping without saying a word: "I have something important to discuss with Zhou Canjun, you go back to your room first."

Ping Ping nodded obediently, smiled at Li Chongjiu and Zhou Zhou, and immediately bounced back to the cabin.

Li Chongjiu said to Zhou Zhou: "Pingping's mother passed away early, and she is also dumb. I can't help but love her the most."

Zhou Zhou said: "This is His Majesty's love for licking the calf."

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou and said with a smile: "Zhou Zhou has been an official for several years, he has sharpened a lot, and his previous blunt temper is gone."

Zhou Zhou heard Li Chongjiu say this: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't have a blunt temper. It's just that I have been in the officialdom for a long time and understand that you must accept him before you have the ability to change the many evils in this world."

Li Chongjiu was a little surprised when he heard this, and said: "It makes sense for you to think this way. You know that this time, because of the matter of the imperial concubine, I appreciate your affection very much. You are also a talented person, so I want to use you more. Liaodong County is close to Goguryeo, and there are constant wars, and the employment is imminent, how about I want you to go to Liaodong?"
