Marriage between powerful noble families is the best way to consolidate the rule of interest groups.
At the beginning, Yang Taisui naturally considered the Yang family of Dongyue. In the Spring and Autumn War that swept the world, all the ten powerful families in the Central Plains were destroyed under Liyang's horseshoes. However, the Yang family of Dongyue benefited from Yang Taisui's existence. The losses in the First World War were not very large.
Nowadays, the Yang family is close to Liyang, and behind it is the Emperor Wu City. The entire family is gradually showing something called ambition.
Including sending Yang Liuzheng, the most outstanding woman in the family, to Shangyin Academy, all to ensure that the family can make further progress.
However, Yang Taisui decided to abandon his family after much consideration and set his final target on the Lu family in Qingzhou. Now the ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Feiqi, has brought his granddaughter to Tai'an City.
At this critical moment, the Lu family showed great sincerity, and Yang Taisui in black chose to go out of the city to greet him in person, acknowledging this kindness.
The last person who was able to receive such a reception from Yang Taisui was the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao.
Therefore, the Yang family was naturally in a bad mood.
The marriage that the family thought would be a sure thing has gone awry. Lu Ze is now the most popular among the Liyang princes. If the marriage can be successful, a royal queen will appear in the family that cannot guarantee the future!
Yang Liuzheng, who was hugged by Liu's waist, looked at Lu Ze with complicated eyes.
It would be a lie to say that she has a deep relationship with the young His Highness Li Yang beside her.
But it is undeniable that His Highness is indeed very different from the academic scholars. The invisible charm naturally attracts the favor of the opposite sex. Coupled with the reaction from the family, Yang Liuzheng naturally feels a little frustrated. , the confrontation between women, especially between women from such wealthy families, is particularly fierce.
"Your Highness."
"I'm afraid you'll be returning to Tai'an City soon, right?"
Yang Liuzheng spoke softly, her wine-red face looking even more confusing and intoxicating. Lu Ze did not act beyond the rules, nodded and replied softly: "Yes, I will make a detour to Emperor Wu City on my way back. The scenery of the East China Sea, I wonder if I can see the second best Wang Xianzhi in the world."
There were quite a few people who came to Lu Ze to toast and show up today.
Except for Kou Jianghuai, who was hiding in the corner and just minding his own food and drink, the dark-skinned young man seemed not to care about the eyes of others on him. He would only occasionally raise his head to look at Lu Ze while wiping his mouth.
"Your Highness."
"Kou Jianghuai seems to be very interested in you."
Lu Ze looked at Yang Liuzheng who was teasing him by the side, and gently rubbed the sensitive area on her back twice with his hands, causing the latter's body to tremble slightly: "What a pity, Your Highness, I am not interested in men."
...
Beiliang Prince's Mansion, on the top floor of Tingchao Pavilion.
The slightly hunched-backed King of Northern Liang, who looked like a rich man, sat on a chair with his legs crossed. He said to the old man in gray clothes with a withered face opposite him: "This Lu family is really a typical Qingzhou wealthy family. He ignored those four words and forgot his righteousness. This guy Yang Tulu quietly hooked up with the Lu family. He was secretly scheming Beiliang. This was also a signal sent by Liyang in advance. "
Lu Feichi's move not only completely shocked the Qingdang in Tai'an City, it was also a big blow to Beiliang, who had originally intended to marry the Lu family. Now the internal situation in Beiliang was not good, and the cavalry on horseback was The frontier battlefields still have full combat power, but this time Ma Wenjun cannot rely on war to control the territory. The atmosphere in Beiliang Border seems to be even worse than in some places in Liyang Jiangnan Road.
So Xu Weixiong went to Shangyin Academy to attract talents. Beiliang also tried his best to establish a relationship with the Lu family of Qingzhou, and even thought of using the title of Beiliang Princess, just to recruit some talented students. People came, but they didn't expect to be intercepted by others at this critical moment.
Li Yishan put down the bamboo slip in his hand. The old man's face looked particularly old and weak, and his voice was obviously weak: "We are discussing business. This marriage is a matter of mutual consent. Since the woman doesn't like it, That boy of yours has nothing to say."
Xu Xiao raised his rough hands
He wiped his face with his hands and said, "Hey, aren't we feeling awkward? Fengnian has already entered the territory of Beimang. If I promise him a marriage, I have to keep it in mind, right? Damn it, I thought Lu That old man Fei Chi is reliable, I just chose to bet on the Lu family, could that boy Zhao Kai really be the nemesis of Beiliang?"
Li Yishan shook his head: "There is no use talking about this now. Zhao Kai should return to Tai'an City in the next two days. It is a foregone conclusion to carry the jade bottle through the Western Regions. Since you are sure that Feng Nian can come back safely from Beimang, what about bringing the jade bottle back to Tai'an City safely?" There is no reason why Zhao Kai, who has the emperor's orders and is full of luck, cannot come back from the west."
Xu Xiao smiled and gently tapped the right armrest of the wooden chair with his right index finger.
"Beiliang and Liyang, neither one's butt is clean."
"This time, in order to take care of the overall situation behind each other, the losing side has to hold its nose and bear it. The emperor of the Zhao family will not end, and I will naturally let Feng Nian go and fight with that Zhao Kai. As for them Who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies, it all depends on their destiny, which one has a deeper plan and which one has a more ruthless heart."
Li Yishan chuckled softly: "Then you are still at a loss. Not to mention the man in Tai'an City, he has several sons. This time, Zhao Kai, who has obtained the Tianwen Sword, is allowed to travel to the Western Regions. I am afraid that he is not in my heart. The prince who grew up around him has a limited affection. But you, Xu Xiao, only have Feng Nian as your heir. If something goes wrong, Beiliang's hundreds of thousands of cavalry will have no choice but to change their ways."
Xu Xiao nodded. He also knew where the real disadvantage of the old Xu family was, but he still believed in his son.
"Back then I was able to climb out of the bloody storms of the Spring and Autumn Period and become the King of Northern Liang. I believe Feng Nian can do the same and do a better job than me. That guy from Liyang is not as courageous as me by birth. How can his son be compared to my son?"
...
Lu Ze didn't know that he had become the most frequently discussed object of the Northern Liang King in recent days.
He spent some leisure days in the academy, flirting with several beauties when he had nothing to do, playing with Wu Mei Niang in the sun, and when he had time, he would go to the Grand Ceremony Wine to drink tea and chat, and he seemed extremely relaxed.
Two days later, Lu Ze finally started to pack his bags.
Both Yu Youwei and Murong Wuzhu became silent. Both women knew that Lu Ze's trip was far more dangerous than the previous ones combined, especially when the power around him was exposed to the world. when.
The so-called trump card, once revealed, loses its greatest effect.
The detailed descriptions of Wu Zhu and several temple envoys must have appeared in the slips of the world's most powerful figures early on, and the counselors behind him began to plan various corresponding strategies.
"Let's go, you two are having a good time in the academy."
"I can't take you with me when we go out this time, but I will definitely take you with me next time."
Under Tianmu Mountain, Lu Ze in front of the carriage turned around with a bright smile.
