Zhao Song forgot to drink, "That's the Zhou family, a powerful family member!"
Each family's five surnames have different histories. The shortest is the Zhao family, and the longest is the Yingchuan Yang family.
Over the years, although there have been conflicts and conflicts between them from time to time, they have always maintained an unbreakable situation.
As for the Wang family, in the early years, they gradually broke away from the family and five surnames and formed their own family.
Even so, Yang Songcheng and others never thought of physically eliminating this traitor.
But facing Zhou, he actually had murderous intentions.
No, there is an emperor!
As for the Chunyu family, they were ignored by Zhao Song.
It is almost an unspoken rule not to use force, that is, not to use a large army to kill the family members.
You can suppress your opponents and gradually weaken them until they disappear in the long river of history.
Yang Songcheng said calmly: "Why can a noble family be established for so many years?
Just talk about me, as the father of the country, I have gathered a group of powerful families behind me, but why didn’t the emperor use the army to destroy the Yang family?
First, he was afraid of my counterattack after taking action;
Secondly, it’s just because I’m not in charge of the army.”
"Where is Zhang Chumao?" Zhao Song said unceremoniously.
Yang Songcheng's eyes flashed with coldness.
"This boy is stupid!"
"It just doesn't work, hahahaha!" Zhao Song laughed loudly.
It's rare that this person is still alive... Chunyushan looked at him coldly and suddenly thought of something. With Zhao Song's domineering attitude, if Emperor Wu had not driven him to Western Xinjiang, he would have probably angered the emperor.
Yang Songcheng did not get angry, "Therefore, although there are undercurrents between the emperor and me, they are not at odds with each other.
But the Zhou family was different. Yang Xuan was the Zhou family's son-in-law and was in charge of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the strongest army in the world.
The Zhou family is a giant!
Last time, the emperor and the old man wanted to plot against the Zhou family, but Zhou Qin, who had been dormant for many years, suddenly took action and reversed the situation.
It turns out that Zhou Qin has been quietly preparing many methods over the years.
Such a Zhou family, supported by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the son-in-law of the so-called famous general of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor, can no longer bear it!"
"What about you?" Zhao Song took a big sip of wine.
Yang Songcheng said: "My wish is to let the King of Yue enter the East Palace, which will be beneficial to us and other noble families.
The Zhou family and Yang Xuan supported King Wei, especially Yang Xuan, who was almost like a brother to King Wei when they were in Northern Xinjiang.
Taking advantage of the drought, we will first destroy the Zhou family and then Yang Xuan.
The emperor is in charge of the northern frontier, you are in charge of the western frontier, and the King of Yue is in charge of the east palace. In this way, everyone is happy!
The wealth I am waiting for can last forever!"
Zhao Song filled himself up with wine and said with a smile: "I summoned you back because I had nothing to do. It turns out that you need a general to take charge of this matter."
"The stakes on the mirror stand are trying their best to convey the news. The news from two days ago is that the powerful people in northern Xinjiang have gathered together and will no longer sell food. The Zhao family in Lu County is also preparing to make a move...
The whole northern Xinjiang is about to be stormed. But in Chang'an, it is time to hear the wind and move!"
Yang Songcheng clapped his hands and a servant came in, "Alang."
"Bring me the wine glass."
Two glasses of wine, one bowl of wine.
Yang Songcheng raised his glass and said, "Once this is done, the overall situation is settled!"
Zhao Song suddenly squinted his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade, which made people shiver down their spines, "The Zhou family is a giant. If such a giant falls, it can feed many families."
Yang Songcheng smiled and said: "Anxin, if Mr. Zhou falls, we will share equally."
"Can the emperor just watch?" Zhao Song sneered, "He is just a glutton, how can he just sit back and watch?"
"Northern Xinjiang!" Yang Songcheng said calmly: "His ability to control Northern Xinjiang is more important than money, land and houses."
"Yes."
Zhao Song raised his glass, "When will this matter be launched?"
Yang Songcheng said: "You have just come back. Please rest for a day. We will send all the news about the Zhou family. You should consider it carefully. Once you take action, it will be like a thunderous thunder and will not give the Zhou family a chance to breathe."
"So, let's raise a glass and drink!"
All three faces were smiling.
Who can have too much glory and wealth?
The descendants are endless, who would be too long?
…
Zhou Zun was looking at the paperwork in the duty room.
Chang Mu came in and said, "Mr. Lang."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Zun raised his head.
Chang Mu bowed slightly and said, "The news from Northern Xinjiang is that the drought situation is still there."
"Where are the refugees?" Zhou Zun rubbed his eyebrows.
"More and more."
Zhou Zun clicked his tongue, "Zitai's move can certainly help support his family, but Northern Xinjiang cannot bear so many refugees. Once there is a shortage of food, chaos will immediately ensue."
"Yes!" Chang Mu's eyebrows became more worried, "In addition, Xing Guogong Zhao Song is back."
"He shouldn't come back at this time of year!"
The generals who guard one side will not return in the summer unless there is an emergency, or they are transferred, or there is a big court meeting.
"He went to the Yang family, and Chun Yushan also went."
"Where's Yang Songcheng?"
"Take leave today."
Zhou Zun narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you plotting?"
Chang Mu said: "Zhao Song has brought five hundred cavalry, all of whom are elites from Western Xinjiang."
This is normal. Zhou Zun frowned, "There have been no major events in the court recently, and it is impossible for the emperor to bring Zhao Song back. So, why is he coming back?"
Chang Mu heard the footsteps and turned around to see that it was Zhou Qin's servant.
"But what's wrong with Aye?" Zhou Zun stood up and asked.
The servant came in and lowered his voice, "Reporting news from various farms of the Zhou family. Recently, many people have been peeping nearby... Alang said that Mr. Lang should not show any abnormality and not ask for leave."
Zhou Zun nodded, "I understand."
As soon as the servant left, Chang Mu knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lang, this is a sign that we are going to take action!"
"I know." Zhou Zun picked up the brush, "Last time Yang Songcheng and others tried to attack Zhou's business, Aye slapped them back, and then they stopped.
It seems that all activities have ceased, but in fact they are afraid that Zitai will control the Northern Xinjiang Army. If they really want to fall out, they are not sure.
Now that the drought in northern Xinjiang is serious, Zitai... is all."
Zhou Zun put down his writing brush and said, "Is it time for Zitai to write a letter?"
"It should be within these few days." Chang Mu frowned, "Lang Jun, if it's aimed at the Zhou family's fields, that's all, but Zhao Song..."
"Zhao Song is with Yang Songcheng and others. His coming back shows one thing."
Zhou Zun sneered, "The emperor is behind you!"
Zhou Zun then remained the same, unhurried and unhurried.
After leaving office, he even joked about his grandson with his colleagues.
"She said she was inseparable from her little dog all day long. Hey! I was heartbroken when I heard that. I wish I could go to Northern Xinjiang and hug that child."
After leaving the imperial city, a servant was waiting.
"My uncle has a letter."
"How to say?"
"My uncle said, everything is the same as before."
Is Zita still so confident?
Zhou Zun didn't know if his son-in-law was trying to support him or something.
When he returned home, Zhou Qin was waiting for him, carrying the birdcage and walking slowly.
"Zhao Song's return is a deterrent." Zhou Qin said: "And Zhao Song came back openly. It seems that the emperor and Yang Songcheng wanted to treat the Zhou family as a chicken and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
"They are not afraid of losing their big teeth!" Zhou Zun said: "The land is the foundation of the Zhou family. Once it is taken away, not to mention the money and food. Without those people, the Zhou family will become a second-rate family."
The foundation of aristocratic families is not money, but population and political influence.
With the population at hand, a large army can be formed if necessary.
The emperor had to think carefully before taking action.
Zhou Qin nodded.
Later, the father and son drank together.
"Zitai wrote a letter saying that although the drought is serious this time, he has already prepared for it, so we don't need to worry." Zhou Qin was obviously not sure whether his son-in-law's words were true or false.
"He is now the lord of Northern Xinjiang, and he uses his power for his own purposes. These may not be true."
This son-in-law is no longer the young man who was rejected outside the Zhou family's front door.
"Don't tell him about this for the time being." Zhou Qin took a sip of wine, "so as not to disturb his mind. He is stable over there. The Zhou family has lost some land, and sooner or later they can find an opportunity to get it back."
After the two finished drinking, Zhou Zun felt a little tired and left.
Zhou Qin came out with him, took down the bird cage from the nearby branch, and whistled.
The bird named "Old Dog" chirped flatteringly.
Chang Mu is here.
His face was solemn.
"Zhao Song's five hundred cavalry have entered the city!"
Zhou Qin said with a ferocious smile: "Li Mi, an old dog, dares to attack the Zhou family?"
He tightened his grip, and with a snap, the hook of the birdcage broke and fell to the ground.
The ‘old dog’ inside is as silent as a cicada!
…
In the palace.
Just after dinner, the emperor and his concubine were lazily walking around to eat.
In a person's life, they spend too much time eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping. Ordinary people think that these are necessary things for the human body, and they do it unconsciously. But noble people are different. They spend money, employ people, and take care of these necessary things for the human body.
It creates an atmosphere of luxury, or so-called elegance.
"I'm going to change clothes."
The emperor slowly entered the side hall.
Two palace ladies are waiting.
One person was holding an exquisite small toilet, and he was kneeling and raising it slightly. The person next to him helped the emperor lift the hem of his robe, untie the belt, and pull down his trousers.
After a moment of silence, a thin line of water fell weakly. The palace maid had rich experience and had already delivered the toilet to the emperor's body and accurately caught the water line.
Not a drop falls.
Then the palace maid slowly stepped back on her knees to ensure that the water line fell accurately into the toilet.
This movement is smooth and elegant.
The Supreme Body shook a few times, and the palace maid moved forward again.
After a while, a small water line fell again.
After a while, the emperor sighed and pulled up his trousers. The maid beside him fastened the belt and arranged the outer robe.
The third maid came over carrying a copper basin.
The emperor washed his hands casually, and the fourth maid gave him a cloth.
After wiping his hands, the emperor handed the cloth to the maid and turned around to go out.
The female officials standing in the corner waved their hands, some burned incense, and some mopped the floor where the emperor had just stood.
In an instant, it seemed as if nothing had happened in the palace.
When they heard that the emperor had gone away, the maids relaxed.
"So tired!"
"It's okay!"
"Actually, this work is not tiring."
"It used to be several times a day, which was very easy. Now it's more than ten times a day, and several times at night. No one wants to come to our place anymore."
Several palace maids smiled.
The maid who was mopping the floor straightened up, "I'm the most tired!"
"You just put it off for a while, why are you tired?"
"I am the most tired." The palace maid who was kneeling to offer the toilet came back. "Not only did I have to take it, I also had to pour it."
"But it's you that His Majesty saw! Who knows, one day he will take a fancy to you, and then you will fly up to the clouds and become a noble person."
hehe!
The palace maid smiled and carried the toilet to the back.
She put the toilet in the corner.
Squat down quietly.
Then bow his head.
Retching.
"It stinks!"
When the emperor left the side hall, Han Shitou came in a hurry.
"His Majesty!"
The emperor glanced at him and said, "Yeah!"
Han Shitou came closer and whispered: "The abbot persuaded Duke Xing."
There was a hint of sarcasm between the emperor's brows, "Zhao Song has been in Western Xinjiang for many years and has long wanted to come back. He has been operating all these years, but I don't want to see this person.
The emperor followed the trend, so I became a bad guy and he became a good guy."
Han Shitou smiled and said: "But Zhao Song is not a fool. What the state leader did cannot be hidden from him."
"Everyone takes what he needs. If Zhao Song returns to Chang'an, the person he is most worried about is not me, but the state leader."
"Yes. Such a domineering general, if he returns, he will definitely challenge the majesty of the father-in-law."
"Has Zhou discovered it?" the emperor asked casually.
"It should have been discovered. In addition, the five hundred cavalry brought by Duke Xing from Western Xinjiang entered the city earlier. This matter could not be hidden from the Zhou family. The servant thought that the Zhou family should know about it by now."
Han Shitou smiled gently, as if the sky was falling and he couldn't stop his gentle smile. "The lights in the Zhou family's house were reduced by 30%. I am afraid that all the good people in the family have gathered together. In addition, I don't know how many people the Zhou family has in the city."
"
"Quite a few."
The emperor saw the waiting concubine in front, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes, "The last time he suppressed Zhou's business, Zhou Qin's old dog started jumping up and down. He thought he was proud, but he forgot one thing."
He turned around and looked at Han Shitou, "Don't do it all. You have to leave yourself some backup.
I am like this, and so are the noble families.
Zhou Qin had suppressed his impulse for many years last time. This time, I assert that the last hope in his hands will be used.
I'm waiting for him!"
"His Majesty!"
Ahead, the imperial concubine smiled and waved.
The emperor walked over slowly and said, "Hongyan!"
The imperial concubine came over to greet her, and the emperor gently held her waist, which was not slender, and they smiled at each other.
Under the light, most of the black hair was tangled with black hair, and the wrinkles and the red face were closely attached.
Han Shitou's smile remained unchanged, "We ate too much."
Want to vomit!
A chamberlain came over in a hurry, "Young Supervisor Han, come to report from the mirror. Zhao Song has sent people to the Zhou family."
"Is he impatient?"
Han Shitou nodded and the waiter left.
The sly-looking Sun Laoer is here.
"Old Han, we are going to attack the young master's in-laws."
"Yeah!" Han Shitou was still smiling.
"There is a drought in northern Xinjiang. The little master said that it was too weak to deal with it, so we felt a little panicked!"
"Why are you panicking?" Han Shitou glanced at him. There was no one around, so he still lowered his voice, "Let me tell you something. When the young master offered sacrifices to the heroic souls at the Martyrs' Shrine in Taoxian County, heaven and earth responded. What is this? Destiny.
!”
He emphasized his tone and repeated with determination: "What is this? Destiny!"
Sun Laoer patted his chest and said, "That's right! My little master is so noble. With destiny in his hands, he will naturally turn danger into safety."
Han Shitou looked at the emperor and the noble concubine in the light in front of him, his eyes gradually became cold.
"must!"
At this moment, there are many people outside Zhou's house.
Several people are discussing.
"The Duke's intention is to test it tonight. If the Zhou family is weak, we will capture it tonight."
"So, do it?"
"Test first!"
"Countless!"
Several dark figures quietly approached the Zhou family's wall.
Diagonally across the street, several men in command were grinning ferociously.
"Kill the nobles of the family! This is a groundbreaking event. Today, we will definitely go down in the annals of history! We have a rich history that we can boast about for future generations!"
A black shadow suddenly flew up.
In the darkness, a sharp sound came.
The black shadow that had just climbed onto the wall flew back and hit the wall behind heavily, and its body hung on it, trembling slightly.
A huge crossbow was pierced through his body and deeply embedded in the wall.
