To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 293

Ten mile lotus pond, Sanqiu osmanthus, every festival, You Miao can't help but want to go back to the south.After all, autumn is the easiest time to think about autumn, even if there are unreliable parents in the south, brothers who are annoying to see, and a bunch of enemies who are fighting in court.

After staying in Liaodong for a long time, You Miao even thought about the enemy a little bit.I just don't know how the children of the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River were doing, and Zhao Chao didn't know what happened, as well as his cousin and nephew.

Li Zhifeng has always been unable to understand the clan concept of the Han people and the homesickness of the Han people. As the King of the Dog Rong, he has been the number one martial arts master outside the Great Wall for four consecutive years. King Rong's name, everyone is terrified.

Because the king of Liaodong is a Han Chinese, all tribes, big and small, will come to offer tribute before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it happens to be the Tatars who hate this festival the most.Seeing the excitement of the festival, Li Zhifeng didn't care much about You Miao's little emotions every autumn.

But the last time You Miao went back to the south alone after the quarrel to wake him up, it seems that the king of Liaodong still wants to find some entertainment occasionally.So at the beginning of August, the convoy was ready early, loaded with ginseng from Liaodong, fur from Saibei, luminous pearls and corals from Korea, and ambergris from the Western Regions, ready to march southward.

You Miao hadn't woken up yet, when she heard the noise of the palace's carriages and horses, she rubbed her eyes and came out to take a look, and saw that Li Zhifeng had changed into a corseted royal robe, a blue brocade suit, with a white wolf head embroidered on the hem, a tall figure, squatting at the base of the wall facing the wind like a jade tree Let's see everyone loading.

"What is this for?" You Miao came over and asked while riding on Li Zhifeng's shoulder.

"Take you back to play the piano." Li Zhifeng stood up, You Miao first cheered and then almost couldn't control his balance and yelled, Li Zhifeng grabbed him with his backhand, picked him up horizontally, took him back to wash and change his clothes, and prepared to go south.

You Miao was thinking about it when she was sleeping last night, but she didn't expect Li Zhifeng to give such a surprise the next day, and she was immediately elated.

The carriage drove out in a mighty way, left Liaodong, took You Miao's seal, pretended to be a merchant from northern Serbia, and went all the way down to Gyeonggi.You Miao looked lazy in the carriage, and couldn't help but think of the time when he left the capital and went back to the south of the Yangtze River with Li Zhifeng.

"How do you know I miss them?" You Miao leaned against Li Zhifeng's arms, and the two of them looked at the autumn scenery outside the car window.

Li Zhifeng replied: "Last night, I saw that you were absent-minded, and you couldn't do anything."

You Miao's face flushed immediately, and he laughed, and said casually: "Yuan Po went up to the cold sky, and everyone said the same thing everywhere. In fact, it doesn't make much difference where you look at the moon."

Li Zhifeng said, "Let's go outside the Great Wall and have a look."

"Don't—" You Miao laughed hurriedly, "I want to go back to Beijing."

Li Zhifeng doesn't like to play very much on weekdays, but the head wolf always has the romance of the head wolf. In the fall of previous years, he often took You Miao to the outside of the Great Wall in the name of autumn hunting, watching the lonely moon in the sky bloom bright and clear.Or climb up to Humar and meditate in the temple on the top of the mountain for several days.

You Miao has always liked her. After thinking about it, for so many years, as long as they are together, there is not much difference between the ends of the earth.But being able to go back to the capital, and thinking of meeting acquaintances, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Li Zhifeng always followed his will, You Miao made many calculations and calculations, and finally decided not to enter the palace, let alone tell Zhao Chao that he was back, and leave after the festival in the capital, so as to avoid a large number of officials coming to greet him.After all, the border and Koryo have been unstable in the past few years, and the imperial court has begun to restrict the power of vassals in various places. Although no one dares to trouble You Miao, it is embarrassing if there are too many people who are at odds with each other.

Apocalypse In addition to the New Year's Eve and the Shangyuan Festival, the most lively time of the year is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this night, the king worships the moon, holds a banquet to entertain civil and military officials, and the folks also hold up lanterns, making it lively and bustling.

You Miao and Li Zhifeng arrived in the capital three days in advance. They only called themselves Donas to the outside world, and took the name of Junwang Mountain outside the Liaodong City as their surname. They took the seal of the Liaodong King and did business in the capital. The third floor of the "gilt jasper" restaurant is used as a temporary hotel.

Over the past few years, there has not been much circulation of Wuhu goods outside the Great Wall, and most of them come from Liaodong. Because of Koryo's restlessness, the sea route was once blocked, so the dignitaries and nobles saw the rare furs and Korean Liaoginseng, so they came to buy them one after another.Li Zhifeng's [-]-car load almost sold for a sky-high price.

Usually when there is nothing to do, You Miao chatted with Li Zhifeng and drank tea on the third floor, with a screen behind him, and when guests came to see "Master Donnas", they sent the head of the guard to negotiate outside, and no one else said much.

After eating the food and drinking the water of his hometown, You Miao always felt that drinking tea in the south and drinking in the north also had a different taste.It's like brewing snow water in Liaodong, and it's hard to get out such a fragrance.

"Why don't we build a villa outside the city." Seeing You Miao overeating, Li Zhifeng asked, "How many years will you stay here?"

You Miao replied: "Forget it, in fact, I still miss the food outside the Great Wall, but I haven't eaten it for many years, so I always think that I will get tired of eating for a long time, and I will be tired after coming back and staying for a while."

You Miao felt that he was also in trouble. If he wanted to come back, he felt that the southern scenery was too soft, not as good as the grassland outside the Great Wall. The sky and the earth are all magnificent. In short, each has its own wind conditions. He knows that it is his nature to be with Li Zhifeng and gallop beyond the Great Wall. The part that can't be suppressed.

"Have you ever been to the palace?" You Miao asked her subordinates.

"Meet the queen." The subordinate replied respectfully, "The gift entrusted by His Highness has also been handed over to His Royal Highness and the Queen."

"Have you ever asked me?" You Miao said.

"The queen is fine, but Your Majesty is crying." The subordinate replied again.

Li Zhifeng made a "poof" and almost spit out the tea, You Miao felt a little sorry and sighed.Zhao Chao always makes the hero burst into tears for such a long time, which makes him really feel guilty.

"To see each other?" Li Zhifeng said.

"Forget it." You Miao said, "I don't know what to say when we meet, and if my sister cries later, she won't be able to leave."

Li Zhifeng just looked at You Miao quietly, You Miao smiled for a while, turned sideways, and touched Li Zhifeng's face.However, Li Zhifeng turned around and pressed You Miao, who hurriedly said, "Hey! Your subordinates are still there!"

The subordinates retreated hurriedly, and ordered the screen to be moved up, and everyone who had nothing to do with them should retreat.

That night, You Miao was sitting on the couch in front of the railing upstairs, leaning half of her body in front of the railing. Li Zhifeng had just taken a bath, wrapped in a black robe, and made tea for You Miao.Most of the servants who cook tea in the capital are gentle and gentle, but Li Zhifeng is brave and heroic, with a lot of internal strength, and his techniques are like boxing.

"What do you think?" Li Zhifeng asked.

"I'm homesick." You Miao tilted her head and looked at the moon in the sky. Her godson went to Xianbei to play recently, and she presumably married Princess Xianbei.The horses in the family were not fed by themselves, and the litter of wolf cubs brought back from the Great Wall last time was always howling, and I don't know how much they have grown up.

"Let's go back tomorrow." Li Zhifeng said casually, "Buy some salt, silk, and tea, just go back and disperse."

"Yeah." You Miao laughed. She hadn't felt it in Liaodong all year round. Now that she thinks about it, the bright moon in Saibei is actually her home.

"Master Donnas, master, we have a visitor." The subordinate said respectfully.

"It's gone." Li Zhifeng said, "Have the mooncakes been cut? Serve them together with the fruit, and I'll drink some wine by myself."

You Miao's heart skipped a beat when his hands passed the order. During this time, everyone is celebrating the holidays. Who is coming to visit?

His subordinates served food and drink, and warmed the wine. Although Li Zhifeng likes to drink strong wine, he often misses this sweet-scented osmanthus wine from Jiangnan. Now that he is back, he will drink it a few more times.

"The guests are still waiting on the first floor." The subordinate said again, "They were sent by the palace."

"Let him come up." You Miao ordered, "See what you have to say." As he spoke, he knelt down and poured wine for Li Zhifeng, while he broke the tea powder and drank some tea.

The sound of footsteps was a bit vain, and after a while, he came outside the screen, and the voice of his subordinates said: "My lord, please sit down."

Although I don't know why, but in order not to offend others, all the subordinates are called "adults". You Miao did not order the screen to be moved away, so as not to meet old acquaintances, so she sat behind the screen and continued to pass the message back and forth.

Li Zhifeng just drank quietly, You Miao yawned, and his subordinates came in to ask You Miao for instructions, but You Miao dismissed him casually and told him to listen to Li Zhifeng's message.

"I don't know which young master is behind the screen?" A man's voice said.

"Our family is Master Donas in Liaodong." The subordinate replied, "The most famous fur dealer outside the Great Wall, and the big landlord at the foot of Donas Mountain."

"I don't know how it is in front of the King of Liaodong?" The man's voice said again.

"Our young master is the most favored in front of the King of Liaodong." The subordinate said, "Young Lord loves my young master the most. King Quanrong even taught the young master how to shoot arrows."

The voice outside stopped for a while, and then said: "Since I handed over the gift to the queen, it must have weight in front of the prince. I have a few words, I want to ask the young master, and please take a few words back after asking."

The subordinate replied: "But please speak up."

"How is the current situation in Liaodong and Korea?" asked outside.

Li Zhifeng frowned slightly, You Miao knew that he was not happy, and thought this guy was meddling, so she beckoned her subordinates to come over and whispered something in a low voice.The subordinates replied according to the instructions: "My lord, the treasures under the world belong to the emperor of Han, and the king of Quan Rong belongs to the king of Quan Rong. The blood, life and land under the world belong to the emperor of Han. King Quanrong's return to King Quanrong, Liaodong is the place where King Quanrong belongs, so the enemy should not be allowed to enter."

"If you need more troops, you can write a letter." The man outside replied, "There is no need to insist on the difference between you and me."

You Miao thought to himself that this should be told by Zhao Chao, is it from the Ministry of War?

Li Zhifeng gave some instructions in a low voice, and his subordinates replied: "Understood, I will tell you when I get back."

Asked outside again: "How is the current situation between King Liaodong and King Quanrong? Who has the final say now?"

How to answer this question?It's too nosy, even if someone asks on behalf of the emperor, it's a bit broken-hearted.After You Miao finished giving instructions, his subordinates said, "According to what the young master has seen, in Liaodong, King Quanrong has the final say on big things, and the king of Liaodong has final say on small things."

Sure enough, the outside asked again: "What is a big thing, and what is a small thing?"

You Miao had expected this question a long time ago, so he ordered his subordinates in advance, and his subordinates said: "The two countries are at war, trade and defense, officials are promoted and demoted, marriages and alliances, long-distance friendship and short-term attack, water conservancy and city construction are all trivial matters."

After saying this, his subordinates fell silent, and You Miao just glanced at Li Zhifeng and smiled teasingly.

Li Zhifeng was still drinking on his own, with a calm appearance, without waiting for an answer, he asked again: "What is a big deal?"

"Whether this screen is moved or not is a big deal." Li Zhifeng replied.

In an instant, the hall was silent, and no one could speak outside.

"Second brother?" Zhao Chao's voice trembled imperceptibly.

"Yes." Li Zhifeng replied, "Aren't you here all right?"

You Miao was startled secretly, Li Zhifeng actually guessed it was Zhao Chao? !How did he guess it?Could it be footsteps?Sure enough, after the guests sat down, Li Zhifeng's aura changed.

Whether or not this screen can be moved is indeed the top priority in life. Compared with thousands of troops fighting on the battlefield, the barrier of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the apocalypse is still not as good as the screen full of flowers and flowers in front of the two sides at this moment.

Zhao Chao sighed and said, "It really is a big deal."

"Move the screen, please come in and have a cup of tea, Your Majesty, and watch the moon." Li Zhifeng had a faint smile on his lips, and glanced at You Miao, who shook his head helplessly, looked at each other and smiled, and moved the screen away.

At this time, Zhao Chao was the father of two children, and he had a lot of gray hair on his sideburns. He was more mature than before. He walked over quickly, with excitement and joy in his eyes, and sat down beside the table on the couch.You Miao moved to Li Zhifeng's side, sat beside him, made room for Zhao Chao, and exchanged parting feelings.

The moonlight is long, and the ten rounds of frost shadows turn to the courtyard, and this evening detains people alone.
