Shi Wen'er asked the children to take the children to another room to play, and reported the origins of the three children, their experiences in Rongzhou City, as well as the situation in Rongzhou City, as well as Ma Jichang's words, to Li Yuehua in detail. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info pondered Li Yuehua's expression while talking, he saw Li Yuehua's eyes squinted, as if there was something unspeakable, so he didn't say much, and silently looked down at Li Yuehua's soft and shiny dark purple robe, waiting for him to speak.

"What are you going to Rongzhou for?" Li Yuehua asked.

"Take Youqing to play, and I want to go to Yao Wine Workshop to see, that kind of wine can dispel dampness, and if it's good, I want to sell some in Guangzhou." It's a pity that the Yao Wine Shop is gone. ”

Li Yuehua nodded, took a sip of the tea bowl, and asked, "What do you think about the matter in Rongzhou?" ”

Shi Wen'er sighed and said: "It's not easy to do, the palace sent troops to recruit I'm afraid that it is in the trap of the Ma family and his son, if you don't levy it, what Lu Liangjun has done is really a loss of conscience." If it provokes public resentment to boil, it will still let the Ma father and son take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

Li Yuehua nodded and said, "Let's figure it slowly." Although Lu Liangjun is in the air, Gao Gong is still in charge of Rongzhou on the surface. Rongzhou's production in recent years is not a lot. There is no evidence to prove that Lu Liangjun did these things. In fact, your child was lost, and Lu Liangjun quickly sent an army to look for it, and not only found it, but also caught the criminal. For the rest, only the horse is long. This is not a reason to investigate and punish the feudal officials, and the imperial court will not approve it. ”

Shi Wen'er wanted to say anything more, Li Yuehua waved his hand to stop him: "There is an accident in Hedong in the north, and we are fighting with the Khitan, and now we are the granary and money bag of the imperial court, and we must not be chaotic anymore." ”

Shi Wen'er listened to it, but she was used to it, and every autumn and winter, the Khitan would harass the Hedong border. It's just that this year, the north is cold early, and the Khitans are early. He said casually: "Khitan came so early? No wonder this year's year is so bad, the imperial court has to increase taxes. Let's say that Lingnan is okay, far away from the war, the place is rich, and it can barely survive, thinking about the north, I'm afraid it's not so lucky. I don't know how many people will die of cold and starvation this winter. ”

Li Yuehua nodded and said with emotion: "Yes! When I came to Lingnan, many people didn't understand. The emperor also wanted me to go to the east of the river to guard the river, but I didn't go. What's so good about Hedong? Where to use soldiers. It's just that this year is different from the past, some people take advantage of the fire to rob, take advantage of the Khitan to attack, and do things that connect foreign countries there, how can the imperial court give up? The battle in Hedong must be a big battle. ”

It turned out that the great famine that recently swept the big town of Hedong in the north was because of the Khitan in the far north, and for some reason it snowed so early this year, the pastures were frozen, and a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death. The Khitan king led his tribe to move south, and in order to survive, launched a fierce attack on Hedong.

Zhao Haohai, who guarded Hedong Town, was also a fierce general of Shatuo, and the strong castle, solid city walls and deep moat in Hedong were enough to block the Khitan who was good at cavalry from the outside of the city.

But at this time, something happened inside Hedong Town. Zhao Haohai's son, Zhao Boxian, was ordered to go to Xinzhou to recruit new soldiers. Due to Zhao Boxian's tyrannical temperament, he not only treated the recruits harshly in Xinzhou, but also ordered people to beat up local officials in Xinzhou, and killed Shi Jingyang, who was the assassin of Xinzhou at the time. As a result, the recruits mutinied, but killed Zhao Boxian, supported Shi Jingyang, and established independence in Xinzhou.

When Zhao Haohai heard that his son was killed, of course he was unwilling, he killed Shi Jingyang's family left in Youzhou, and led a large army to attack Xinzhou.

Desperate, Shi Jingyang opened the city gate and surrendered to the Khitan. The Khitan prince led an army of 300,000 to attack Zhao Haohai, Zhao Haohai was defeated, hurriedly retreated to Youzhou, used the strong city defense of Youzhou City, desperately resisted the Khitan attack, and at the same time reported to Luoyang.

"The towns in the north already have very little production, and now they have to fight, and the imperial court has just finished the funeral of the former emperor, and they have to prepare for the emperor's wedding, so there is no other way than to increase taxes. But this year's year is not good. ”

After listening to Li Yuehua's narration, Shi Wen'er was shocked. Shi Jingyang is Hu Lingjun's sworn friend, and Hu Lingjun recommended it to Zhao Haohai in a premeditated manner. The so-called mutiny of recruits will not succeed at all without organization and premeditation. Shi Jingyang not only succeeded, but also became the leader of the recruits.

said that Zhao Boxian treated the recruits harshly, and it was an excuse for the Shatuo people in Hedong Town to treat the Han people harshly, how could they have stopped at this moment when they needed to have the same hatred for the enemy, but the recruits mutinied?

He couldn't help but sweat coldly behind his back, Hu Lingjun was a national thief by doing this. A national thief who betrays his compatriots in order to avenge himself. But I don't know if Dou Bingwen, Xu Jie and others in Luoyang know what Hu Lingjun did and what kind of attitude he had.

Li Yuehua saw that his expression was different, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Shi Wen'er's brain was flying, didn't Li Yuehua find such an obvious problem? He hesitated for a moment and said, "The matter in Hedong is a little strange. ”

Li Yuehua asked, "What's strange?" ”

Shi Wen'er smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just think it's a little strange, the prince knows that Wen'er has never led soldiers." ”

Li Yuehua smiled slightly approvingly and said, "Although you have not led soldiers, you can see that it is a little strange, and this is not easy." That Shi Jingyang was obviously premeditated, as soon as he arrived in Hedong, he bought the hearts of the Han people everywhere, and this mutiny was also privately colluded by him. The most troublesome thing is that this person is related to Zhao Boyong, and he recommended him. ”

Shi Wen'er was strange in her heart, Shi Jingyang should actually be recommended by Hu Lingjun. Could it be that Zhao Boyong actually carried this sin for Hu Lingjun? He said tentatively: "When it comes to who recommended this, I'm afraid it will have a long history, who recommended Shi Jingyang to Zhao Boyong?" They can't know each other from the beginning! ”

Li Yuehua sneered and said, "Who recommended it?" His own as recommended by Mrs. This Shi Jingyang's sister was originally a maiko of the Qingping Division, and she was taken by Zhao Boyong, and she ascended to heaven with the chicken dog! This group of boys really doesn't know what to say. ”

Shi Wen'er was dumbfounded, it turned out that Hu Lingjun recommended Shi Jingyang to Zhao Boyong in this way. Don't say that outsiders won't find out, I'm afraid that even Zhao Boyong himself didn't find out, Shi Jingyang was originally recommended to him by Hu Lingjun. Shi Wen'er asked: "Then I don't know if there is any movement in Zhao Boyong?" What impact does it have on the Zhao family? ”

Li Yuehua glanced at him and said with a smile: "You finally got the point, how can such a big matter not have an impact?" That's what I called you. Empress Dowager Zheng wanted to postpone the emperor's wedding on the grounds that the treasury had no money. ”

"Postpone the wedding?" Shi Wen'er looked at Li Yuehua in astonishment, "What does it have to do with Ah Li?" Then he felt that he was asking stupidly, and lowered his head and said nothing.
