On the evening of this day, the Zhang brothers were ingenious, on the flowing water of the curved pond outside the Feixiang Palace, people used colorful silk scissors for green leaves and red flowers, bamboo silk as bones, and made huge lotus flowers, all preparations stopped, and the Zhang brothers and a group of beautiful young men in Fengchen Hall invited Wu Zetian to the poolside to enjoy the flowers.

The flowing water of the curved pond, the lamps are everywhere, the starlight lights, all the same, and then reflected in the water, rippling constantly.

Although it is summer, it is still refreshing in the evening, and this scene is like heaven and earth, which makes Wu Zetian very happy.

Immediately, a group of beautiful young men in Fengchen Hall disappeared, a moment of effort, the music sounded, melodious and elegant music, the huge lotus blossoms, and the lotus flower has a young man in colorful clothes to accompany the music and dance, the largest and most beautiful lotus flower in the middle appears is Zhang Changzong, who is known as "Lotus Liulang".

Wu Zetian applauded for their ingenuity, appreciating the singing and dancing, Wu Zetian made an exception and ate a few more glasses of wine, taking advantage of the wine, and looked at the Zhang brothers who were dressed in colorful clothes with drunken eyes and said: "I am a little tired, the rest of the people will disperse, and Wulang Liulang will help me go back to the dormitory." ”

Zhang Changzong and the two brothers happily stepped forward and helped Wu Zetian to turn back to the palace, Feng Chenwei and the other beautiful young men knew that it was difficult to win the battle for the two Zhang, and they returned to their residences with peace of mind. Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Every day, it is the two of you who will do your best to coax me to rejoice." It's really hard for you to come up with such an idea. ”

Zhang Yizhi said obediently: "The minister is equal to the fact that he can't share the worries for Bixia in major national affairs, and he who waits for Bixia to make Bixia happy every day can be regarded as having fulfilled his heart." ”

Wu Zetian glanced at him with a smile and said, "I know that today's trick is your idea again, Liulang is honest, but it is not as good as you have so many hearts." Gorou took such painstaking measures. There must be a request from me, hehe, you say, what do you ask me for! ”

Zhang Yizhi hurriedly let go of Wu Zetian, took two steps back, turned over and bowed down, and said convincingly: "Bixia is wise, the candle is faint, and the minister's little thoughts, I really can't hide Bixia's insight." The minister did have a matter to ask for bixia. It's neither to ask for an official or a reward, but also to ask Bixia to retreat, because the matter involves great privacy, and the minister is really ashamed to exit in public. ”

Wu Zetian was surprised and his curiosity was aroused, and he waved his hand hurriedly. Ling Gong'e, the eunuchs, and the internal guards retreated together, and asked, "What is so mysterious?" ”

Zhang Yizhi said it to Wu Zetian at this time. Wu Zetian frowned when he heard this. She is the lord of a nation. Not a matchmaker. Besides, Zhang Yizhi's mother is already a half-old, and Li Zhenxiu is a minister of the court, with a wife and a concubine, how can this matter be matched? forcibly demolishing the husband and wife and forcibly marrying the mother, I am afraid that it will not damage her reputation.

This is different from her daughter's marriage, which is for the political purpose of reconciling the contradictions between the Wu and Li families and winning the hearts of the world. Now just to fulfill Zhang Yizhi's filial piety, he forced a minister to divorce his wife and marry another, what is this like.

Wu Zetian thought unhappily: "This Mrs. Azang is also true, if you like that Li Zhenxiu." It's just a secret communication with him and a private relationship, so why do you have to marry the media? ”

Seeing her frowning and silent, Zhang Yizhi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yi Zhi also knows that this matter is unreasonable, but ...... Seeing that my mother was puzzled, I couldn't bear to be a son, and I looked at the world to be able to accomplish this, and only Bixia your golden mouth and jade words were there. The previous big reading, thanks to Bixia's addition to the official, the minister is willing to resign from the official, just ask Bixia to be fulfilled. ”

Zhang Changzong also knelt down to help, and said: "Bixia, Wulang's mother is filial piety, and I also ask Bixia to be gracious." ”

Wu Zetian pondered for a long time, sighed lightly, and said, "That's it! Tomorrow, I will send a decree announcing that Li Zhenxiu will bring his mother into the palace, and I will talk to them first. Well...... Gorou, you go back tomorrow, bring your mother with you, and let them know each other first, and I will see the opportunity to act. ”

The two brothers, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, were overjoyed when they saw that she finally agreed, and thanked them again and again.

The house built by Wu Sansi adjacent to Dingding Street is just in the hot rental area, and the wealthy businessmen and feudal officials return to Beijing to like to rent this house, which is not only magnificent, but also because it is the house of the Liang Wang's family, it can directly open the door to the street, and it is convenient to enter and exit.

At the beginning, Tian Ainu deceived Liu Junfan as a giant businessman in Dunhuang, and rented this house, if Liu Junfan hadn't seen that she was renting such a mansion and had slaves like clouds, she might not be so easy to be fooled. Now this mansion has just been used by the previous guest and returned, and it was immediately rented again, and it was rented by several Shu merchants.

During the Tang Dynasty, if the economic development was still developed in the north, the area south of the Yangtze River had not yet become a land of fish and rice, the population was sparse, the farming, weaving, farming and mulberry were all backward, and the politics, economy, culture, and science and technology were far behind the north. The north is a heavy agricultural production area, and when it comes to commerce, it is Guanzhong and Bashu that are the most prosperous.

Shu merchants have grown up as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, they opened up thousands of miles of plank road, ancient tea horse road, Shu cloth road, Southern Silk Road, good name spread all over the world. For example, the widow Aqing of Badi once funded Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall, and later provided a large amount of mercury for the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang also specially built the "Huaiqing Terrace" for her to commemorate it. Another example is King Zhuo, Sun Zhitie, Linqiong, and rich in the world.

Nowadays, the business is still the most in Bashu, Luoyang and Guanzhong are taking advantage of the imperial capital, and there are more Hu merchants. The emergence and prosperity of the Jin merchants, Hui merchants and other major merchant gangs was after the Song and Ming dynasties, and at this time, there was a Yangzhou and a Quanzhou in the south, which could be regarded as relatively developed commerce.

There are more than 10 people in these Shu merchants, who deal in salt, cloth, medicinal materials, grain and rice. Among them, there are two leaders, one is called Song Bazi and the other is called Long Jiutao. The two of them were sleeping together at the moment, and the couch was covered with a high-quality mat as smooth as jade, and the two of them gently shook the pu fan and listened to the whispering of crickets outside the window.

Song Bazi said in a thick Shu voice: "What did Zhang Tongxiu say?" ”

Long Jiutao snorted and said: "I gave him a generous gift first, and promised him great benefits, what else can he say, naturally he saw the money and opened his eyes, and promised to arrange for us to meet with Erzhang as soon as possible." ”

Song Bazi let out a soft "um" and said, "Take a long-term view, don't pity some money." Money can only be spent to make more money, no one wants to get along with money, 500 is not good, 1,000, 1,000 is not good, 5,000. can always smash people into obedience. ”

Long Jiutao said: "This is not solved, I don't care about the money spent. I think Shen Mu is making a big fuss, just a Yang Fan, relying on good luck to get to the top step by step, can he be so cautious. Such a person, with a little trickery, will not make him go up in smoke? ”

Song Bazi laughed twice and said, "Good luck? Once or twice you can say good luck, who can always rely on good luck. Xue Huaiyi has thousands of disciples. There are also dozens of close disciples, why don't others come out? He outwitted the Turkic army of 100,000 and replaced you, can you do it?

The Tubo military god Qinling defeated Xue Rengui, Li Jingxuan, Liu Xianli, Wang Xiaojie, Lou Shide and many famous generals in his life, and only suffered a small loss in the hands of Heizhi Chang. If it weren't for the fact that both countries were exhausted from fighting, they would have made peace. If the fight continues, it is unclear who will win and who will lose. is such an invincible famous general who has the power to pour out Tibet, but he was planted under Yang Fan's calculations.

A group of cool officials from Yushitai crisscrossed the government and the opposition, how many princes and princes were planted in their hands, who instigated the southern Xinjiang people, exerted external pressure, and instigated the ministers to bring them to justice one by one? The Khitans rebelled in the north. If you want to ally with the Turks, you can change someone, and you can dissolve the enemy's alliance and turn the tide like him. Contributing to the quick defeat of the Khitan?

Lao Jiu, if you attribute all these big things he has done to his luck and underestimate his skills, you will definitely suffer a big loss in his hands. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the proud act that prompted him to ascend to the position of the suzerain of the Manifest Sect, if it were you who were the official of the Heavenly Authority, would you be able to come up with a way for him to retreat like that? ”

Long Jiutao was silent for a long time and said, "If he is really a man of great wisdom, it doesn't seem like a good idea to be an enemy of him!" ”

Song Bazi sighed and said: "Shen Mu is also difficult to do, people's hearts are not satisfied, they have to look back at Shu, don't compete, divide into superiors, many leaders in the Hidden Sect are not convinced, they will think that Shen Mu is giving up the power and status that our Hidden Sect has at his fingertips, and Shen Mu's position will not be stable." ”

Long Jiutao said: "Hmm! If you don't talk about others, I'm not convinced! Even if this person is very good, I don't think he has the ability to deal with us. Then let's compete with him, if he wants to win the status and power he deserves, show his skills! ”

Song Bazi said: "That's why we have to wrap up two sheets." The Wu family now respects Wu Sansi, and we don't know how deep the relationship between Wu Sansi and Yang Fan is, rash contact will inevitably startle the snake, not to mention that in today's imperial court, the most favored thing in front of the emperor is Erzhang, as long as they are brought over, they can resist Yang Fan's advantage in officialdom. ”

Long Jiutao slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! I'll go to the banquet tomorrow to invite Zhang Tongxiu, be sure to catch up with Erzhang as soon as possible! ”

This summer is very hot, and the battle between the two sects is also in full swing.

Just like the two armies fighting, on the surface, there seems to be no substantive contact between the two sides, and now it is only in the stage of dispatching troops, preparing food and grass, probing the enemy's situation, and formulating actions, and the final victory is largely determined by these preparations before the formal battle.

Under Yang Fan's strong orders, the "Jihetang" finally moved into Luoyang. With their huge shili, they were easily settled, and they disappeared into the millions of people in Luoyang in various capacities.

As long as the seven sects and five surnames did not make up their minds to abandon Yang Fan, they would not intervene in this matter. Although the people of Xianzong who had lived in Chang'an for a long time were dissatisfied with moving to Luoyang, they were dissatisfied with the dissatisfaction, and the suzerain had made up their minds, and they also knew that the success or failure of this battle would determine their future rights and status, so they still went all out to start preparations according to Yang Fan's orders.

Yinzong was originally only a part of Xianzong, but it was the battle of Chang'an that completely established the status of Yinzong and Xianzong on an equal footing. What about the battle in Luoyang now?
