Chapter 29 Another Marriage
After sending away Shi Qian, who was full of joy and gratitude, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered a fatal matter.
Fang La's men, what kind of simple robbers were they? They were from the Ming Cult, and Zhao Yu clearly remembered that Fang La rebelled in the early years of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is not a big deal to catch a robber from the prison. And Shi Qian said that these people did not succeed, but if Fang La rebelled, this would be a big deal.
Fortunately, Fang La and the others are still calm at the moment, and they must also separate themselves from this matter, otherwise they will be easily troubled.
Of course, we can't tell Yang Xu about this, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to Zhao Yu join the party.
While thinking about it in the study, Feng Quan's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, can I come in conveniently?"
Hearing Feng Quan's voice, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry. It was not that he was so annoyed by Feng Quan, but that he knew that the queen must have arranged for him to go on a blind date again.
It was a helpless thing but had to agree with it, but I just didn't know whose girl it was this time.
After recruiting Feng Quan in, Zhao Yu said weakly: "Old Feng! Go and tell your mother, you will say that I am sick and very sick. As long as you mention the commission, you will get sick."
Feng Quan held back his laughter and said, "Your Highness must not guess who is going to marry you this time."
Zhao Yu curled his lips and said, "So what can you do if you are? I can't find my wife."
"It was the document sent by Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao Kingdom to send 800 miles to express his urgency. I hope to marry her niece to His Highness."
After hearing Feng Quan's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned. If he guessed correctly, the niece of Empress Dowager Xiao must be Xiao Yiyi. Is this a bit of a joke?
Before, Xiao Yiyi and the Liao envoy came to Beijing secretly, hoping to marry Xiao Yiyi to the crown prince Zhao Huan as the crown prince's concubine, but Zhao Huan refused. However, after knowing that Xiao Yiyi liked Zhao Qi, she wanted to agree to the marriage, and then she pushed Xiao Yiyi to refuse.
Now Empress Dowager Xiao actually wants to marry her niece to Zhao Yu. You Khitans don’t care about these things. We Han people cannot take it seriously. Besides, once this matter comes true, the inherently uneven relationship between Zhao Yu and Zhao Huan will inevitably be even more like water and fire. What did this old Mrs. Xiao think?
Thinking of Xiao Yiyi's behavior to herself when she left, Zhao Yu knew that this matter was probably brought up by the girl.
Xiao Yiyi's pure and beautiful figure flashed through her mind, and Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he also knew that this matter must not be that simple.
Thinking of this, he said quietly: "What does the Queen Mother say? What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"When I was serving the queen, I heard Your Majesty tell the Queen that the Liao Kingdom was defeated when fighting against the Jin Kingdom. Then I wanted to marry our court and then deal with the Jin Kingdom together. You must know that we are enemies of the Liao Kingdom for generations, how could Your Majesty agree to this marriage?"
Zhao Yu really wanted to tell Feng Quan that the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty was actually the Jurchens. Although the Liao Kingdom is blocking it now, this situation will soon be changed. The Jurchens are the nightmare of the Song Dynasty.
But if Feng Quan doesn't believe this, he will probably not believe it in the world. Looking at the world, no one will believe it if he says it.
Feng Quan continued: "The queen of Yongxing Army stayed in the world, Liu Wenguang visited the queen a few days ago, saying that he had a daughter waiting for her name and presented her birth date to the queen. After seeing it, the queen was very satisfied and agreed to it. She specially asked the old slave to inform His Highness."
Zhao Yu was stunned again. He knew that Feng Quan had been saying for a long time. Only this sentence was his purpose, but what was Liu Wenguangyou?
Knowing that it was useless to refuse, he curled his lips and said, "This Lord Liu is quick enough. These Beijing officials who are changing their minds!"
"Your Highness has no idea. Lord Liu has been appointed by His Majesty as the Hebei East Road Observer. Knowing Taiyuan, he will take office soon."
"The Observation Envoy of Hebei East Road, Taiyuan Prefect?"
When Zhao Yu heard this official position, his eyes flashed and he quickly thought about it.
Since the time travel, Zhao Yu has been thinking about leaving the capital. He knew that in terms of the whole Song Dynasty, Jiangnan was still safe. When the Mongols emerged and destroyed the Jin and Southern Song Dynasty, he would have turned into dust early.
But as a bloody Han man, I came from more than a thousand years later, just to enjoy life? The answer is obviously no.
Zhao Yu has been busy storing money now and has not yet decided where to build a development base, but this place will definitely not be Jiangnan.
Taiyuan Prefecture is now the big city closest to the border between the Song and Liao dynasties. It is the best choice in terms of geographical location and military quality, and it is definitely a good place for development.
I didn't take this Lord Liu seriously before because many Beijing officials would give titles such as X-ray Observer and Gang Training Envoy, just like Zhao Yu himself, who also had the titles of Taiwei and the governor of Baoding Army, but these titles were of no use, just a salary.
But an official position like Liu Wenguang who knows about something is the actual official position, so if Zhao Yu really wants to settle in Taiyuan, he will definitely borrow his strength.
These thoughts just flashed through Zhao Yu's mind, and then he said helplessly: "I have something to do today. You can report back to my mother first. All things are subject to my mother's arrangements. I will go to the palace tomorrow morning to thank you."
After sending Feng Quan away, Zhao Qi pondered for a moment and ordered someone to find Yang Xu again.
"Brother Yang knows Liu Wenguang?"
Hearing this name, Yang Xu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "A flatterer. He used to be Cai Jing's person. Later, when he saw that Cai Jing was seriously ill and could not attend court, he gradually leaned towards Liang Shicheng, a boneless guy. Why did Your Highness remember to ask him?"
His future father-in-law actually has this kind of virtue. Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and told Yang Xu again about Feng Quan's purpose.
After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Yang Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "This guy reacted quite quickly, but if this guy is really Liang Shicheng's person, this matter is probably not that simple."
When Yang Xu reminded him, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that Liang Shicheng was Zhao Huan's iron rod. If Liu Wenguang had really defected to Liang Shicheng, how could Liang Shicheng allow Liu Wenguang to marry his daughter to him?
A little messy!
For a moment, Zhao Yu felt that his head seemed to be much bigger.
But Yang Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Do your Highness think this will cause you any losses?"
One sentence awakens the dreamer, isn’t it? What can Liu Wenguang do if he is? I’m afraid that in the end, who is planning to whom!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Yang's reminder, otherwise I would have been a little obedient. I would do me a favor and send someone to inquire about this lady of the Liu family to see if she is worthy of making me wronged?"
"Your Highness, there is a young man named Zhou outside the mansion who said he had something to ask for advice."
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, a maid's report came from outside the door.
"The young master surnamed Zhou?"
Zhao Yu subconsciously shook his head. It seemed that there was no one named Zhou who knew in his memory.
Zhao Yu planned to visit Li Shishi, so he had no plans to meet strangers at all.
