"It's simply crazy!"

Inside the water pavilion, Huang Zhen held Li Xin's souvenir and laughed in anger.

Yuan Xiannian, who was born in Hedong, sneered even more, "If I heard this guy, I would not say anything else, Hedong would not be able to recover within a hundred years. The entire border will become a scorched earth, and it is unknown how many households the people can survive."

"This is still a lucky win. If we lose, we will probably be infamous for thousands of years."

Liu Zhiying shook the map in his hand and smiled: "At least Li Xin has made contributions to this matter. With this map, if the war starts in Yunnei, Hedong, it will not be too passive."

"This is his letter of surrender. I hope we can support him, but this matter is absolutely impossible. In the Han Dynasty, the two emperors of Wen and Jing worked hard to govern, recuperate and accumulate national strength. Only then could Emperor Wu attack the Xiongnu in the north, expand territory, and solve border troubles. What qualifications do we have for Da Qi? Since Taizu attacked the Tang Dynasty and unfortunately died, Da Qi has been on a downward path. Now, it seems that when the national strength is at its peak, it is actually the time of the founding of the country, which is ridiculous." Chen Shou completely ignored how rebellious he said, and continued: "It is not impossible to attack Mongolia in the north, but when the national strength is strong, otherwise it will be a death sentence."

Li Xin may not be unaware of this result. He is just making an attempt, a bold attempt.

Now that he is in charge of Tongting, Chen Shou, who he doesn't like very much, and he agrees that this crazy plan can be implemented.

Although it seems like a lot of difficulties, Li Xin is willing to give it a try. He feels that he can be competent for the position of commander.

After the matter is completed, as long as Your Majesty can take charge, what's wrong with him retiring after success?

However, Li Xin also knows who Chen Shou is. If you want him to agree, you must have enough tempting chips and you can't take out anything.

In Li Xin's opinion, Chen Shou's plan is just his own power, and few people can give him more now.

The game between these people, when put on the chessboard, turned out to be more and more corrupt in the situation in Hedong. The addition of the Mongols and the rampant white lotus made the vast land of Hedong more and more chaotic.

The addition of the Mongolians made the winter unrest, but other places became increasingly stable due to the cold.

At this time, the first batch of goods arrived in the port from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the sea did not freeze, which made Chen Shou feel very excited.

"I am going to arrange the materials that have arrived from the Tang Dynasty on the spot, so that Hejian, Shandong Qingzhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture will develop our power."

Liu Zhiying, who had been in the Minister of War for two years, nodded and said, "After the chaos, although there were many scenes that we did not want to see, such as the displaced people, it became much easier to raise flags and recruit soldiers."

"Then recruit soldiers in Dengzhou Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, Jeju Prefecture, and Hejian Prefecture." Chen Shou had many veterans from Xiliang under him. They originally came to the prosperous Bianliang to retire with Li Lingyue.

These people have their own skills in recruiting, recruiting, training, and leading troops. They are abilities that have been trained through battles and have been tempered. It is a waste of resources to use good steel on the blade.

With generals, money, food, and military resources, Chen Shou's only concern is whether these people will be completely loyal to themselves in the future.

"I need a general to take overall charge of the situation in the east."

Liu Zhiying frowned and said, "Isn't Zhang Zhengyuan in Qingzhou?"

"Are you... too young?" Chen Shou was a little worried. This kid was too young.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been young. Young people have courage and dare to make decisions. They may not be as good as those of us, but the development depends on theirs. Emperor Wu divided his troops into six directions to attack Mongolia, and there were many veterans. Wei Qing and the champion Hou who finally made achievements." Huang Zhen nodded and smiled and said, "What's more, as old as he is, he has experienced more, and his relationships are complicated, and his mind is mixed. Zhang Zhengyuan is only Yanqing Temple behind him, which is the back garden of Zhongyong Hou."

Chen Shou immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, let Zhang Zhengyuan be in charge of the four East Road."

At Daxiangguo Temple, the crowds are like the sea.

As the end of the year approaches, although Kaifeng Prefecture has had many major events recently, it has not moved the people. Under Chen Shou's management, officials were trembling, but the taxes of the people have been reduced.

With the remaining money in hand, people will not be too shabby during the Chinese New Year. There are many people coming to buy New Year’s goods at the temple fair under Daxiangguo Temple.

After this time, it is estimated that the businessmen will have to celebrate the festival behind closed doors and will not reopen until the next year.

The Daxiangguo Temple also opens its doors to welcome pilgrims. Here, the incense is already full of incense and the spectacular temple complex is endless from the bottom of the mountain.

The yellow walls are as tall as two-story houses, and the gate is more grand than the palace gate. Several monks of the guest were white and fat, very festive, standing at the door with standard smiling faces.

Chen Shou and Li Lingyue walked in the lively market, putting aside the troubles of the room, and traveling with beauty together was in a good mood. He was in a very good mood and seemed to have not noticed that Li Lingyue's pretty face was still a little unhappy, and explained it to himself, telling the many fun of the temple fair.

Slowly, Li Lingyue was amused by him and his eyes were slightly opened. After a while, he smiled and took the initiative to hold Chen Shou's arm.

Daxiangguo Temple is so lively that the two of them walked around for a while, and even though they had nothing to buy, they each held a handful of gadgets. There were sugar people, clay people, small combs, and wooden dolls...

Chen Shou, who was originally excited, was so tired that his waist was sore and his legs hurt. He called him too tired. On the contrary, Li Lingyue, who was originally indifferent, became energetic now. He looked left and right and wanted to buy everything and try everything.

Chen Shou couldn't stand it, so he took her to an alley behind the temple fair.

There is a Xiaowu market under the shade of the scattered eaves in the alley. At this time, it is exactly the opposite of the Daxiangguo Temple. The trips are sparse, and even the stalls are indifferent and dozing on the pillars.

"What are you doing here?" Li Lingyue asked in confusion before he could visit him.

"There are benefits here. Let's have a cup of tea first, otherwise I can't walk anymore."

Li Lingyue felt a little embarrassed and sat down in front of a small stall. There was a bowl on the table. Li Lingyue took a look and found that there were some bumps on it. I don’t know how many people have used it.

"I don't want to drink tea here."

Chen Shou had just rested for a while, his legs were still a little sore. He raised his head and pretended to be dead, as if he would not get up even if he beat me to death.

A few plainclothes guards were wandering around and looking around vigilantly.

Li Lingyue sucked a few gadgets and smiled and said, "Do you think this looks like you?"

When Chen Shou saw that she was holding a puppet that looked like a skinny dog ​​in her hand, she said angrily: "No matter how you say I won't get up."

Li Lingyue curled his lips and glanced at him charmingly, "You have been apologizing for your crime, why are you still complaining about being tired? Why are you and Li Lingfeng... Why don't you feel tired when you do that kind of thing?"

Chen Shou couldn't help but collapsed his shoulders, bent his waist, and said with a smirk: "Can this be the same?"

While talking, two figures, one big and one small, suddenly saw two figures turning from the alley ahead and stepping into the alley together. The big one was graceful and fair, and the small one was pretty and cute.

"I won't come out with you anymore, it's so tiring."

The sound sounded familiar. Chen Shou looked up and saw that the man was wrapped in a thin sable fur, his long hair was hanging down, and his slender body was delicate and curved. He was not his mistress Wu Taifei.

Beside her, she was extremely slim, with half a pink neck exposed from her marten tail, but her chest had a bulge of the same size as her head. It was the little princess Zhao Jinnu.

Chen Shou immediately stood up.

"Okay! If you have a beautiful girl, you won't be tired?" Li Ling frowned and said in a low voice with her nose wide open eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the Empress of the Concubine and His Highness the Princess." Chen Shou grabbed her hand and took the initiative to greet her.

Li Lingyue said oh, then let go, followed Chen Shou forward, and the couple bowed slightly: "I have met two of your highnesses."

Concubine Wu looked at Li Lingyue curiously and said with a smile: "Is this the wife of Zhongyong Hou and the tiger girl of Xiliang?"

"That's right." Chen Shou laughed.

He hadn't seen Concubine Wu for a long time. He didn't dare to wink in front of so many people, but just seduced her with his eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Concubine Wu felt a little angry, funny, and excited.

Li Lingyue also said openly: "You two high men, are you here to visit the temple fair?"

"I won't leave halfway through the tour, it's so boring..." Zhao Jinnu murmured in a low voice.

Li Lingyue nodded repeatedly: "That's it."

"The Tomorrow..."

Wu Fei looked up and smiled and said, "I don't have to follow those rules when I'm away today. Let's just call it friends."

Li Lingyue and Zhao Jinnu sat together. Seeing that the little princess was not as a princess, she was very lively and cute, and very talkative. She was petite, but her slender wrists and thin legs all had a perfect coordinated proportion, but her chest was a little abrupt, and she liked the little princess very much in her preconceived thoughts.

"Where did these clay men buy them?" Zhao Jinnu asked with bright eyes when he saw the clay men in Chen Shou's hand.

“Just ahead.”

"Hey, this clay man looks like his sister."

With a voice from sister, Li Ling became more friendly to her and said with a smile: "The little master who made clay men can pinch it according to the human appearance."

"I want to go too!" Zhao Jinnu said to Concubine Wu.

Concubine Wu waved her hands repeatedly, frightened and said with a pale face, "I won't go."

"Let's go!" Li Lingyue grabbed her hand and said with a smile.

The two energetic girls hit it off and went out of the alley together, leaving Chen Shou and Wu Concubine.

"My Empress, I'm leaving no matter how I say it, I don't know if I can." Chen Shou said immediately with a salivating face.

Concubine Wu snorted coldly and said, "You know it in your heart."

Chen Shou knew that she discovered Princess Huaishan and quickly coaxed her: "I know what. After you left, I was sad for several days. It's not possible to have you in the summer palace, so I'd better come back quickly."

Concubine Wu felt sweet in her heart, but she deliberately turned her head and spit lightly: "Bah! She is sweet and smooth, not serious! There are so many concubines in your house, and she just married such a charming wife, one is more beautiful than the other. Can you remember me?"

Somehow, Concubine Wu always felt that his eyes were ambiguous and looked at him with a smile.

"We haven't seen each other for a while, hehe, do you miss me?" Chen Shou asked shamelessly.

"No." Wu Fei said lightly, while she was still raising her calves, she looked very tired.

Chen Shou, who was already tired and could not walk, suddenly seemed to have endless energy and said with embarrassing eyes: "Then I don't believe it anymore. I can hear the voice in your heart while sitting here, and I keep calling my name."

"Then you're too worried." Concubine Wu also smiled, her calves seemed not so stiff.

Chen Shou suddenly held Wu Fei's slender hand and smiled, "You are so cruel that you don't miss me, but I don't miss you for a day. I'll go find you tonight."

Wu Fei was embarrassed and embarrassed, with a face that looked like a morning glow, but said proudly: "I am here with the ability. When I get home, I forgot you. I saw so many people in one day, who would have thought of you, a little thief?"

Chen Shou threatened: "Do you think I dare not?"

Concubine Wu raised her head, looked at him with a red face, shook her head in a infinite manner, and said word by word: "You... are... don't dare."

She hadn't seen Chen Shou for a long time and said she had never thought it was a lie, but she was still annoyed that Chen Shou and Huaishan had an affair and did not take her seriously. After all, Huaishan had to call herself a mother concubine in terms of her seniority. Wu Concubine Wu, who was so angry, simply returned to her parents' home and was not too lonely with Princess Ji Luo.
