Chapter 114 Playing Right

"I am terrified. Someone has leaked my return date and spread rumors in the city. There are ladies all along the way, so I have no choice but to change my route." Sun Yu believes that Li Yu is well aware of this matter and can just stop it by himself.

"I already know about this. They are all women to be married who admire your literary talent and martial arts. Is there anyone who likes you? I can be a matchmaker." The knot in Li Yu's heart was relieved a lot. This Sun Yu is still the same.

You know what you are looking for.

"Your Majesty, I am determined to serve the Tang Dynasty through life and death, and I really don't want to have this concern." Sun Yu was shocked after hearing this. Why did Li Yu want to be a matchmaker? Did he know about his relationship with Zhou Wei?

"Are you serious that there is no one you like? There's no harm in talking about it. A real man, don't hide it, let me make the decision for you." Li Yu didn't believe it. This gentle lady is a gentleman, unless he doesn't meet the one he likes today.

.

"I really have never had such thoughts. I don't remember any of the women on the roadside today, let alone whether I fall in love or not." Sun Yu immediately clarified that getting married at this time is not a day or two. The process will be completed after it is completed.

I'm afraid it won't be until next summer.

"You really don't remember any of them? There are people Aiqing knows here." After Li Yu finished speaking, he stared at Sun Yu, trying to see some traces on his face.

"Your Majesty is joking. I haven't been in Jiangning for a long time, and my father has passed away a long time ago, so I haven't had much contact with other families. How can I get to know this girl in the boudoir." Although Sun Yu was mentally prepared, he was still surprised and still

The good complexion is as usual, no flaws are revealed.

"Miss Wei'er from Taifu's Mansion, Gu Wenwen also went there, didn't Sun Aiqing notice?" Although Sun Yu acted flawlessly, Li Yu decided to ask directly.

"Ms. Wei'er is here too? That's rude of me. I didn't notice that there were too many women. I was in a hurry to get on my way." Sun Yu's face showed surprise.

"Sun Aiqing, what do you want me to say to you? There are so many women that others can't ask for, but you can't avoid them. Lao An, please give Sun Aiqing a seat." Li Yu finally passed the test in his heart. After all, he was the one who liked it.

Since there is no problem with capable people, you have to start giving grace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Yu sat down gently next to the front half of the stool. Today, he has passed this test.

"I have read Aiqing's good news, but I want to hear the details again." Li Yu also had a dream of a bloody battlefield, but the conditions did not allow it.

Sun Yu truthfully reported his experiences in Jianzhou one by one, especially the battle of Shaxian and the later battle of Tingxiaguan with Chen Hongjin in the most detail.

"General Chen, your pants are down! Hahaha~" Li Yu heard Sun Yu talk about defrauding Chen Hongjin in front of the two armies. He laughed so hard that he was so talented. It would be great if he was there.

"Sun Aiqing, you've gone too far, hahaha~ Let me laugh for a while." Li Yu couldn't help but think of that scene. Even An Jinhai, who was beside Sun Yu, was overjoyed. This idea was too bad, so

It would be strange if Chen Hongjin was not driven crazy.

"Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do this. Chen Hongjin is a veteran on the battlefield, and his men are all elites in heavy armor. The humble minister is just a fledgling, and his men are all recruits who have just entered the battlefield, so they can only do whatever they can. Moreover,

Soldiers are also deceitful. As long as they can win, there is no harm in using any means." What Sun Yu wanted was this effect, and he had to coax Li Yu into a high position.

If you are happy, even if the news spreads and you lose some face, what's the big deal?

"My dear, continue talking, I am listening to you." When the generals talked about the war, they were either arranging troops or preparing food, grass and baggage. It was too boring. How could Sun Yu's words be so interesting? Li Yu simply stopped listening.

Can't come down.

Sun Yu then selected some of the war stories to talk about. As long as Li Yu liked to listen, it didn't matter if he talked all night long.

"Thirty thousand taels? This Chen Hongjin is really rich." Li Yu was quite surprised when he heard that Sun Yu exchanged an adopted son for thirty thousand taels of silver from Chen Hongjin. There is nothing wrong with Chen Hongjin having these thirty thousand taels. After all, Zhangquan

Erzhou is rich, but if he exchanges 30,000 taels for an adopted son, how many 30,000 taels should he have in his hand?

"Your Majesty, this humble minister has made the decision without authorization. Please punish him!" Sun Yu knelt down on one knee. After all, he released the thief chieftain without permission and made a deal with Chen Hongjin.

"Is Jianzhou really so barren?" Chen Hongjin's adopted son, the second-in-command in northwestern Fujian, was a great achievement when he was captured alive and brought to the court. Sun Yu actually sold it for money. He was so short of money.

"Your Majesty, when I first entered Jianzhou, most of the people ate tree roots and wild fruits and had no clothes to cover their bodies. The ten rooms in Jianpu City were empty. The houses either collapsed or burned down. Not even a wild dog was found. Most of the people fled to the mountains for refuge.

It's terrible. In order to regain Jianzhou, I recruited a group of auxiliary soldiers and civilians, but the cost was too high. I still have some thieves in my hands, and they have been sent to work in the mines to build ordnance for our Jianzhou army. I can't bear to send them away.

"Not to mention 30,000 taels, even if he didn't have a penny, Sun Yu would not be willing to send him to Jiangning. He would work in the mines and earn money for himself every day. So what if he sent him to Jiangning? How much reward would he get? Mostly just encouragement.

Just one session.

"It's really embarrassing for my beloved. The treasury is in trouble. You can handle these things as you please. I grant you the right to do things for your own convenience. Get up." Although Li Yu has never been to Jianzhou, the banditry has been going on for several years. He can do anything.

You can imagine. If he hadn't been really poor and crazy, Sun Yu wouldn't have opened a trading company by himself. This was a unique position in the officialdom.

"I thanked Your Majesty. Later, I was invited to Quanzhou for a banquet and met with the King of Jinjiang..." Sun Yu sat down immediately and continued to roughly explain what happened next. As for the three hundred thousand taels

Things that cannot be said even to death.

"How is King Jinjiang's health?" Li Yu was very concerned about this. The prerequisite for Sun Yu's plan to be realized is that King Jinjiang dies and the Qingyuan Army is in civil strife, otherwise nothing will happen.

"My complexion looks good now, but I heard that the disease is most afraid of the heat. I'm afraid it won't be easy to survive next summer." Sun Yu naturally knew that King Jinjiang's time was running out, but he couldn't say it himself. He couldn't say that King Jinjiang

He will die next summer, but no one believes it.

"If Aiqing wants to go south, what is the most lacking thing?" Li Yu is now thinking about Quanzhou. Naturally, he has to ask clearly and cannot miss the opportunity. Once the seaport is opened, the situation in Southern Tang Dynasty will become much brighter in an instant.

"Money, horses, and people, these three must be in place, I have confidence." Sun Yu looked at Li Yu with a hopeful look on his face. He must give him as much as he can.

"Well, the country is in a difficult situation, and the court has no food left. I'll go back to the Ministry of Revenue and see if I can allocate another 20,000 taels. As for the horses, Lao An, go back to the racecourse and transfer 100 strong horses to Sun Aiqing.

As for the people, there really are none. Aiqing will figure it out by herself." The Northern Song Dynasty's political power became more and more stable, and preparations had begun to form a navy. The Yangtze River line was very tense.

, unable to move easily.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao has always been in charge of the racecourse. This old slave is not suitable for intervening." An Jinhai was overjoyed and took the opportunity to apply eye drops. He could go to the racecourse to disgust Xiao Yi later. Mr. Sun was really a lucky star.

.

"What? Gu's order is not working well? If Xiao Yi has any objections, let him come to Gu Fen and tell him." Li Yu frowned, as if Xiao Yi's authority had become a little too great. Even An Jinhai was afraid of him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Yu paid homage again. Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing. As for the 20,000 taels, Sun Yu did not intend to take them back at all. He directly bought horses in Jiangning Mansion, whether they were war horses or rogue horses, as long as they were

The horses will be bought back, and those that are not needed by the cavalry camp will be used by the baggage camp. The more the better.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time for dinner!" An Jinhai, who was beside Sun Yu, couldn't help but remind him when he heard the voice coming from Sun Yu's belly.

Sun Yu has only had one breakfast today. He arrived at the palace gate at noon, then went into the palace to perform the duet, and has been chatting until now.

"Sun Aiqing, please don't leave. Stay here to have dinner together and chat with you again." Li Yu was in a good mood today. Listening to Sun Yu talk about Jianzhou was much better than listening to music.

"I obey!" Sun Yu was very hungry for a long time. He had to finish the food before leaving. Besides, the royal meal must be delicious.

An Jinhai walked outside and gave orders, and in the blink of an eye, delicious dishes were brought out. There were six plates in front of both of them.

The dishes are extremely exquisite, but each portion is extremely small, especially the rice. The rice bowl made of sterling silver is too small.

"Ai Qing, do you want to drink? I have to review the memorial at night, so I won't drink." I just listened to Sun Yu's stories this afternoon and haven't touched the memorial yet. I have to light up the lamp and fight hard tonight.

"No, Wei Chen has basically not drank since he led the troops on the expedition, for fear of causing trouble!" Sun Yu saw Li Yu start to move, picked up his rice bowl and started eating.

Li Yu nodded and took a bite of the dish. It tasted pretty good today.

Sun Yu was already very hungry, and he also figured out Li Yu's way. Although he attached great importance to etiquette, he still liked to be free and easy and appear real.

Sun Yu picked up a pile of vegetables, poured them directly into the rice bowl, and ate them all. Then he ate like a whirlwind, eating every plate cleaner than his face.

"Ai Qing, do you usually eat like this?" Li Yu just picked up the silver bowl and took two bites. He was chewing it carefully. When he looked up, Sun Yu had already eaten everything in front of him.

"My subordinates are all big-bellied men. Every day in the military camp, if they eat too slowly, they won't be full. This is how they developed this bad habit. I didn't pay attention for a moment and lost my manners in front of His Majesty." Sun Yu revealed.

There was a hint of an embarrassed smile. Normally it was fast, but today I speeded up on purpose, and I was really too hungry.

"Ai Qing, you still don't have enough to eat?" Li Yu felt a little incredible that the chief official of a state would do this. This Jianzhou seemed to be poorer than he thought. He had really wronged him, and Li Yu felt a little guilty in his heart. The Duke

The legitimate son of the Mansion, for the sake of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, he should be tested many times for the sake of this Tang Dynasty. He really shouldn't have done it. Li Yu is a scholar at first, so he can't help but be sentimental.

"The food is enough, but this dish is a bit missing. Besides, it is not as good as the royal chef in the palace. I couldn't hold it back for a moment." The food in the palace is better than that of Wanghailou chef, but there is less meat and it is not satisfying.
