Chapter 26 Fang Xuanling’s Choice (3)

Just when Li Shimin was struggling with utilitarianism and brotherly love, Gao Shilian, who was far away in Jiaozhi, was also in trouble.

In the dim room, an oil lamp emits a light that is not bright.

Gao Shilian seemed to be asleep, closed his eyes and leaned quietly against a desk, silent. Opposite him, there was a young man sitting. He looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and he had a handsome face.

However, perhaps because I have been in Jiaozhi for a long time, my skin turns a little darker, showing a healthy wheat color.

Very sturdy and calm while sitting there.

Gao Shilian didn't speak, and he didn't speak, just waited quietly.

"Perform, what do you think?"

After a long time, Gao Shilian finally opened his eyes.

That young man was the son of Gao Shilian, named Gao Luxing.

In history, this person once served as the Minister of Shangshu Pushe and married Li Shimin's daughter Princess Dongyang, who was the son-in-law of the Zhenguan period.

But now, it seems a bit difficult for him to become the prince consort...

Gao Luxing knew what Gao Shilian was asking, so he answered without hesitation: "The child thought he could agree."

"oh?"

"Li Yanqingzhi is almost a monster. Since he sent someone to make a request, he must be sure to win.

Dare to say that Yongzhou and Qinzhou have become the things in his hands. Ning Changzhen seems to be coming in a fierce manner, but in fact he is a dog that is lost.

Once the King of Henan seizes Qinzhou, even Feng Ang will not do anything to him... Father, since you and Lord Qiu have decided to surrender to Li Tang, then surrendering to the King of Qin is not a good thing for my father."

"Then you mean..."

"Submit to the King of Henan!"

Gao Luxing replied firmly: "First, the King of Henan has ruled over 54 prefectures and counties and set up the Annan Governor's Office. In fact, Jiaozhou has been included in his rule. Even if he uses troops to Jiaozhou, it is natural... Did his father forget Li Yanqing's methods? He could not admit his surrender to the King of Qin and decided to send troops.

My father thought that with the power of Jiaozhou, can the demon child be shaken?"

Gao Shilian had no good feelings for Li Yanqing a long time ago.

In his opinion, Li Yanqing was too evil when he was a child, and it was definitely not a good thing. Humanity is that there must be monsters in troubled times, and Li Yanqing was the monster who caused trouble and disturbed the world. Therefore, he never had a good face to Li Yanqing. Even if Li Yanqing and Changsun Wugui got married later, Gao Shilian did not change his opinion.

Even because of Li Yanqing's three wives and one concubine, Gao Shilian was even more dissatisfied.

The little princess of the Changsun family actually...

But from the bottom of my heart, Gao Shilian also knew that the Sui and Yang Rebellion had little to do with Li Yanqing. But with this feeling of grudges, it was obviously unlikely that he would change it all at once.

Yes, based on his research on Li Yanqing over the years, this guy is really brave enough to do such a thing.

Jiaozhou is under the rule of the Annan Governor's Office. If Jiaozhou does not surrender to Li Yanqing but surrenders to Li Shimin... If it were him, he would feel that he was blind. Gao Shilian was a scholar and was dissatisfied with him, he might not have done too much; but Li Yanqing was a tough lord in his bones... If he swept his face, wouldn't he seek death?

Looking at Jiaozhou, who can compete with Li Yanqing?

Even if Qiu He's son Qiu Xinggong was experienced in many battles and came to persuade him to surrender in the name of Li Shimin, he also admired him very much... After all, Li Yanqing's name was not obtained out of thin air. Instead, he gained the reputation of winning again and again. He annoyed this guy, and he would not be sure that he would really use troops to Jiaozhou.

"There is one, and there must be two."

“That’s right.”

Gao Lusheng said seriously: "What he said before is to be honest.

In private, my cousin now married the King of Henan. Even though my father was dissatisfied with the act of the King of Henan as a wife and a concubine, he could not deny that my cousin's family would be unable to survive without the care of the King of Henan over the years... I heard that when my aunt took the auxiliary machine and Guanyin maid to join the King of Henan, the King of Henan without saying a word, he distributed a fort and sent his own soldiers to protect it. Now, the Pili Hall has risen again in Luoyang... Although Changsun Xingcao is incompetent, he has continued to recover his past losses with the reputation of the King of Henan. The King of Henan can be said to be kind to his own people...

The purpose of the father and the child say these words is actually to say: The King of Henan and us are a family.

No matter how dissatisfied you are, Wugui's child is already two years old. Didn't my aunt send someone to say that Guanyin maid is pregnant again?

Also, Wuji has now entered Chongwenguan and worshipped the bachelor of Chongwenguan...

In time, it is not impossible for him to become a general and a prime minister to revive his uncle's reputation. My father thought it was his aunt or the relative of the King of Qin?"

Gao Luxing actually tells a reality: During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, most scholars still put family first.

They have compiled a huge network of relationships based on their blood relationships.

With this complicated network, we can last for a long time...

The Gao family is a great clan in the East China Sea and also a royal clan in the Northern Qi Dynasty. I wonder how prosperous it was back then, but now there is only one branch of Gao Shilian left.

If Gao Shilian wants to revive his family, he also needs a network.

Rather than weave a net for several lifetimes, why not join Li Yanqing's already woven net?

In fact, even if Gao Shilian is unwilling to do so, he has become a part of this website.

Surrender to the King of Qin...

It is rumored that the King of Qin is polite and noble, and has a strong wise ruler.

But will he really believe in himself?

It is said that the conflict between Li Yanqing and Li Shimin has been around for a long time.

Instead of lying under strangers, it is better to lying under your own rank. Li Yanqing is now the governor of the 54 prefectures and counties in Lingnan, and holds integrity and strategy... In other words, as long as Li Yanqing has established a firm foothold in Lingnan, he will be the local emperor of Lingnan.

Gao Shilian wants to return to Chang'an!

But how could I know that Li Yanqing always stayed in Lingnan?

"Perform, what do you think the King of Henan is like?"

Gao Shilian's thoughts have actually moved.

Gao Luxing smiled and said, "Father, you have not commented on the King of Henan... This person is almost a monster.

How can you and I mortals understand his thoughts?"

Gao Lu fulfilled this sentence, but there was something in his words.

How could Gao Shilian not hear the clue?

A strange smile appeared on his face.

"So, you'll find Liu Qing now.

I still have some questions and want to ask him for advice... In addition, I will return to Haimen Town, gather troops, and prepare to confront Ning Changzhen."

Haimen Town, located by the sea, is an extremely important port.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, large ocean-going sea ships had not yet appeared, but small sea ships had developed into shape. As the southeast gateway, Haimen Town has become an extremely important strategic trading port. Small countries in Southeast Asia continuously input South China's goods through Haimen Town, and at the same time, they export countless Central Plains commodities through Haimen Town.

In fact, it is not only the goods from China that are exported, but also the goods from Tianzhu, Zhenla and other places are exported outward.

Compared with Duling Town in Yongzhou, Haimen Town is undoubtedly a hundred times more prosperous.

Gao Luxing, then general of Haimen Yingyanglang and Haimen County Magistrate...

Jingshan, government office.

Fang Xuanling had already put on a filial piety outfit and knelt quietly in the hall.

His father died of illness, and as his eldest son, he should have been keeping his soul. However, due to the tight war, he was unable to return home to do his job as a son.

So, every evening, he knelt for half an hour in the mourning hall set up in the mansion.

After time passed, Fang Xuanling stood up and walked out of the mourning hall.

Outside the mourning hall, Wang and Fang Yizhi, dressed in filial clothes, were waiting quietly.

Fang Yizhi was still young, and the journey from Qiantang to Jingshan was a little unstable. Therefore, Mrs. Fang ordered Wang to accompany him and come with Fang Yizhi... This Wang family was originally the wife of Ximen Junxian, the bandit in Jianghuai. In the early years, Ximen Junxian was wronged. Fang Xuanling was the magistrate of Danyang County, clearing the charges of his husband and wife and clearing his innocence.

However, when Du Fuwei ravaged the Jianghuai River, Fang Xuanling was almost killed by Ximen Junxian.

It was this Wang family who stood up and turned against Ximen Junxian, and carried Fang Xuanling to fight a bloody path from the chaotic army.

Wang was born with divine power and was good at using a pair of bronze hammers.

Although it may not be called the courage of ten thousand men, few people can match it on the battlefield.

Even the brave men like Du Fuwei admired Wang... Later, Wang married Fang Xuanling. This was also the only marriage that Mrs. Fang nodded since she got married. Quan Zuo was grateful to Wang for rescuing Fang Xuanling.

Wang gave birth to a son and a daughter for Fang Xuanling.

The son's name is Yi Ai, and he is the second man in the Fang family; the single name of the woman is Jiao, and he is also the only woman among Fang Xuanling's five children.

Mrs. Fang was very relieved to have Wang protect Fang Yizhi.

At the same time, Wang was sent over to supervise Fang Xuanling...

"General Du has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

Wang took Fang Yi straight forward, tidyed up Fang Xuanling's clothes, and said softly.

"Yeah, I'll go there now."

Fang Xuanling nodded and looked at Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi walked into the mourning hall very well.

"Young mom, Jingshan may not be peaceful recently... I am busy with business and cannot take care of you. I will entrust you to the affairs of my family. You will be dispatched by your servants... Remember, you must pay more attention."
