Ouyang Yinying listened carefully and heard every word Zhou Yu said to Zhou Tai and Ling Cao in the hall. When Zhou Yu sent Zhou Tai and Ling Cao out, she sneaked back to the room and wrote concisely.
I wrote a note and walked straight to the place where the homing pigeons were kept.
The Wu people have basically mastered the raising of carrier pigeons. Wu State mostly uses these carrier pigeons to transmit messages. The speed is much faster, but it also saves a lot of manpower and material resources.
Ouyang Yinying came to a corner on the east side of the county government office where the pigeons were raised. When she saw the old slave who was responsible for raising the pigeons feeding the pigeons, she called out: "Old Hu!"
Lao Hu is about fifty years old. There was a flood in Changsha County a few years ago, and Zhou Yu was in charge of dispatching it. At that time, Ouyang Yinying went with Zhou Yu to provide disaster relief, and saved Lao Hu who was trapped by the flood on the way. From then on, Lao Hu became a
The housekeeper of Zhou Mansion followed Zhou Yu and his wife, and obeyed Ouyang Yinying's words even more.
"Madam." Old Hu turned around and saw Ouyang Yinying coming, so he asked, "Does the Governor have anything to arrange?"
Ouyang Yinying shook her head and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Lao Hu.
Lao Hu took the note and already understood it in his heart. He immediately reached out to the cage to pick up a gray speckled pigeon.
Ouyang Yinying hurriedly shouted: "No, let's use the white one this time."
Lao Hu nodded, changed the direction of his hand, grabbed the white carrier pigeon, then tied the note to the carrier pigeon's leg, and asked: "Madam, why did you change the location this time?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Although Ouyang Yinying's voice was not loud when she spoke, it gave people a great intimidation.
Lao Hu quickly shut up, stopped asking questions, and raised his hand to release the carrier pigeon.
Ouyang Yinying watched the carrier pigeon fly high into the sky, but she was very entangled in her heart. Since marrying Zhou Yu, she has been secretly eavesdropping on the important secrets discussed by Zhou Yu and many ministers. On the one hand, it is her husband;
He is a sworn brother who is kind to her, and it is also a torture for her to be caught in the middle and act as a spy.
"This is a reward for you." Ouyang Yinying directly threw a piece of gold to Lao Hu, then turned around and left.
When Ouyang Yinying returned to the room, Zhou Yu was already sitting inside. Seeing that Zhou Yu had an evil look on his face, she hurriedly walked over and asked, "Husband, has something happened?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said nothing. He just stared at Ouyang Yinying and asked, "Where did Madam go just now?"
"Oh, I didn't go anywhere, I just felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach and went to the toilet." Ouyang Yinying said without blushing and without a beating heart.
Zhou Yu stood up from his seat, walked behind Ouyang Yinying, reached out and hugged Ouyang Yinying from behind, put his hands on her flat belly, rubbed it gently, and then asked with a smile
: "Are you feeling comfortable?"
"Well, with your husband's care, your stomach won't hurt anymore." Ouyang Yinying leaned on Zhou Yu's chest, holding Zhou Yu's hand on her lower abdomen tightly with both hands, and said lightly.
Zhou Yu said: "If you still feel uncomfortable, please ask a doctor to take a look."
"Can the doctor take it for me when he comes? This is normal, isn't there a few days every month? Husband, don't worry, I will take care of it myself. Husband works hard for state affairs every day. Today, General Zhou
Being in such a hurry to find a husband must be a very important matter. A husband can't be exhausted just because of state affairs." Ouyang Yinying turned around and put her arms around Zhou Yu's neck, affectionately.
Looking at Zhou Yu, he said calmly.
Zhou Yu smiled, put his lips together and pressed a kiss on Ouyang Yinying's forehead, and then held Ouyang Yinying tightly in his arms.
Ouyang Yinying also snuggled quietly in Zhou Yu's arms. Since the two got married, they have always treated each other with equal respect and treated each other as guests. There is also great love between husband and wife. But in Ouyang Yinying's heart, she has been worried about one thing.
, he worked as a secret agent for Gao Fei and stole some important information about Wu State. Once Zhou Yu discovered it, I really don’t know how Zhou Yu would treat her.
When she thought of this, a few inexplicable worries appeared on Ouyang Yinying's face, and her brows wrinkled slightly.
After Zhou Yu saw it, he said: "Madam, you never let me frown every day, why are you frowning now? Is there something on your mind?"
Ouyang Yinying said hurriedly: "Isn't it because of you that I'm worried? As the governor, you are more powerful than one person than ten thousand people in the Wu Kingdom. His Majesty even assigned half of the troops to you to command. Now your Majesty is in Hanlin all day long.
In the courtyard, all state affairs have been handed over to the King of Song. In terms of power, you are greater than the King of Song. I am just worried that if the King of Song listens to the slander one day, you will..."
Zhou Yu hurriedly interrupted Ouyang Yinying's words and said with a chuckle: "Madam, you are worrying too much. Although Your Majesty and I are not brothers, we are like brothers. The friendship between us is unparalleled by ordinary people. I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I am loyal to Your Majesty.
The State of Wu is also very loyal, and the King of Song also knows it. Who would talk nonsense when they have nothing to do?"
Ouyang Yinying said: "Having said that, there are countless jealous people. Your Majesty has not summoned you for three years. In the past three years, all state affairs have depended on the King of Song. The King of Song is your Majesty's flesh and blood brother, and he also has the Prime Minister Zhang Zhao.
, Taiwei Cheng Pu assisted, my husband and Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu had little contact, and Zhang Zhao also
If there is any dissatisfaction, I am afraid that someone will see that my husband is in a high position and make slanderous remarks to the King of Song. Youdao is the leader with great achievements. Maybe the King of Song does not believe it when one person says it, but if three people become tigers, I am afraid that the King of Song will treat her husband as time goes by.
If there is a wavering, if something happens to my husband, how will we, mother and son, live..."
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Madam, you are worrying too much. The King of Song is your Majesty's younger brother. Your Majesty and I are sworn brothers. Logically speaking, I am also the elder brother of the King of Song. Although the King of Song handles national affairs for your Majesty, the King of Song will definitely not be alienated by outsiders."
.As for the beef between me and the Prime Minister
Well, that would be even more nonsense. The prime minister and I just have political differences. Cheng Pu's lieutenant has a false position and has no real power. I, Zhou Yu, have done my best for the state of Wu, and I deserve my high position and authority.
As long as your Majesty believes in me, no one will dare to do anything to me."
After hearing this, Ouyang Yinying rolled her eyes and continued: "But husband, His Majesty has not summoned you for three years. You have not seen each other for three years. Your Majesty has been in the Hanlin Academy all day long. Don't you want to see me?"
Your Majesty?"
"I think about it, but it's a pity that I can't go back to the capital unless His Majesty summons him." When he talked about Sun Ce, Zhou Yu felt worried in his heart. He hadn't seen Sun Ce in three years, and he really missed him.
Ouyang Yinying saw Zhou Yu's thoughts and said: "After a while, it happens to be the death anniversary of the late king. Why don't you, husband, take advantage of this time to return to the capital? On the one hand, you can reminisce with your majesty, and on the other hand, you can pay homage to the late king. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."
ah."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. But this place is also very important. If I leave, I'm afraid it will take a long time to go back and forth. If something happens in the meantime, I'm afraid I
Can’t you bear it?”
"My husband has always said that Mr. Lu is not as talented as you. If you go to the capital, you can temporarily entrust Mr. Lu with everything here. I believe Mr. Lu will not let down your trust."
"Haha, madam is really my good wife. I have already sent someone to invite Zijing. It will arrive tomorrow. After I have made arrangements, I can return to Beijing with peace of mind."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, there was still a kind of expectation in his eyes. He had not seen Sun Ce for three years, and he was very much looking forward to it.
The next day, Lu Su came from Chaisang and Zhou Yu hosted a banquet in honor of him.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Yu said: "Zijing, you and I have been apart for several months. When we meet today, Zijing looks thinner than before."
Lu Su smiled and said: "I have to work hard on state affairs. Chaisang is a place with easy access to all directions. Its position is very important. Lu Su dare not not do his best. However, even if I work too hard, I am not as hardworking as the governor. I heard that the governor was not as hardworking as me a few days ago.
I am ill. Today I saw that the Governor's complexion is normal and his face is rosy. It seems that he is fine. I just don't know what the important matter is for the Governor to call me here this time."
Zhou Yu said: "The Huaxia Kingdom changed the position of Gao Qi as the prefect of Jingzhou, and asked Zhuge Liang to serve as the prefect of Jiangxia. Gao Qi is in Jingzhou, and it is normal for him to take office, but I am afraid that Zhuge Liang has not arrived here yet. I asked Zijing to come, just because I want him to
Zijing was stationed in Xunyang and Chaisang to deal with Ge Liang. However, recently, the late king Ji
The sun is coming soon, and I have not returned to Beijing to worship for many years. This time I want to go back to Beijing first, to pay homage to the late king, and secondly to meet with His Majesty, and to tell the things here face to face so that His Majesty can know. Therefore, this time
I asked Zijing to come here because I want to entrust Jing and Yue with full authority to Zijing. After I come back, Zijing can step down from his post."
After hearing this, Lu Su hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, how can I replace the governor? Zijing has little talent and knowledge, and I am afraid he is not enough to take up this responsibility."
"Zijing, your talents are not inferior to mine. Looking at the Wu Kingdom, the only person who can be my second-in-command is you, Lu Zijing."
"Grand Governor, this matter is of great importance. Grand Governor, can you please consider it again?" Lu Su was still unwilling to replace Zhou Yu and kept pushing him away.
Zhou Yu looked a little unhappy. He pushed the wine glass in his hand toward the table and said, "Is it possible that Zijing looks down on me, Zhou Gongjin?"
"No, no, no, I never meant that..." Lu Su waved his hands hurriedly.
"In that case, why did Zijing push back three and block four?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously.
Lu Su thought for a while and then said: "This place is very important. All the three armies obey the Governor, but they do not obey me. Furthermore, if the Huaxia Kingdom knew that the Governor was not here, I am afraid they would be ready to make trouble and cause some trouble. The Governor will
I am afraid that all the generals under me will lose their composure. Without the general governor, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress them. Once something happens between the two countries, I, Lu Su, will be the one to blame."
Zhou Yu thought about it and felt that Lu Su was right. Generals such as Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, etc. all had bad tempers. Apart from him, there were not many generals.
One person can suppress them. He glanced at Lu Su and asked: "Zijing, what do you think of this? I will gather the generals here and hand over the power in person. In this way, they will not dare to make mistakes."
