From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Xu Dasheng was reliable. After receiving the pigeon message, he immediately led two thousand cavalrymen and rushed to Xiningwei at night, completely calming the situation here.

The villagers of Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village, with a total of nearly four thousand people, were usually very united and fearless, but facing the fully armed elite soldiers, they were so scared that they wet their pants and collapsed on the ground, trembling.

The leaders and elders of the whole village, as well as the core figures involved in the riot, were all arrested and beheaded outside Xining City. The heads were hung there for everyone to see.

"Killing is not the goal, deterrence is the goal."

Zhou Yuan ordered: "We must publicize this matter and let them know the consequences of going against the court. When facing the division of land, they can have opinions and go to the government to appeal, but if they want to gather people to kill officials, they have to think about their own heads."

"From today on, you have to stay here for a long time and fully cooperate with the commander who will take office in the future to lay the new law."

Xu Dasheng patted his chest and said: "Marshal, don't worry, with me here, Xihai will guarantee that nothing will happen."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "I will leave the land affairs to you. The time has been delayed long enough, I will set off to return to Beijing in the afternoon."

Xu Dasheng was stunned and said: "I haven't had a few drinks with the marshal yet."

"Drink shit, when I am free, there is plenty of time to drink."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and took Zhuang Xuansu, Xiaoying and Ayinizi on the road.

After Xiaoying completely let go of her worries, her personality became more lively than before. She talked a lot. It happened that Ayinizi was curious about everything. The two of them were simply the best partners. They talked and laughed all the way.

From Xiningwei to Guyuan and Fengxiangfu, Zhou Yuan did not return to Beijing directly, but took a detour to the Central Plains.

Xiaoying talked to Ayinizi about the battle to recover the Central Plains that year. She was also an experiencer and often heard Zhou Yuan talk about the details, so she knew it very well and talked about everything.

Ayinizi listened very attentively, but when she heard about the tragedy in Kaifengfu, she couldn't help but sigh.

"So... So Sister Chenxi's life story was so tragic..."

Ayinizi's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "It's hard to believe that she would become what she is now."

Xiaoying nodded heavily and said, "It's all thanks to my brother. He has always been proud of it."

Zhou Yuan just smiled, he didn't answer, he just remembered those past events, with infinite emotion in his heart.

Chenxi has always been like a microcosm of the Great Jin Dynasty, relying on her tenacious vitality and willpower to get better.

Speaking of credit, Zhou Yuan did not deny that he saved her life, but everything Chenxi has now depends on her own strong will and unyielding spirit.

Zhongyuan is really getting better.

Zhou Yuan can see this.

When he first came here, every household here was empty, thousands of miles of bark was eaten away.

But this time, there are people here, villages are gathered, the market is bustling, and people are living in peace.

They are still not rich now, but if they continue to develop peacefully, they will definitely get better and better.

"Your Majesty, it's just ahead."

The Divine Bird spy who led the way met Zhou Yuan two days in advance. He is the highest officer of the Divine Bird in the Central Plains, but he is only 24 years old this year.

This is where Zhou Yuan appreciates Guan Lu. He only looks at talent and ability, only looks at actual achievements, and never looks at age.

Zhou Yuan said: "How has he been in recent years?"

The Divine Bird spy said: "He has been teaching. He married a wife the year before last, gave birth to a son in the middle of last year, and gave birth to a daughter two months ago."

"He lives a good life. He is not rich, but he is respected after all."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "When he was here, he was more respected. He raised his arms and called out, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops."

The Divine Bird spy nodded and said: "Many people know his identity, and sometimes they come to watch the excitement. He is still very calm and does not hide these things."

Zhou Yuan asked, "Is the surrounding area clean?"

The spy of the Divine Bird looked serious and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Central Plains is the province with the least bandits in the Jin Dynasty. This is also our key surveillance area. There will be no danger."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "It should be monitored. Otherwise, with the three names of Zhang Bailong, I don't know how many troubles will come to the door."

"Wait for me, I'll go see my old friend."

After many years, Zhou Yuan once again set foot on this land and once again met the hero who almost overturned the Jin Dynasty.

He was teaching students about the Analects of Confucius, and it happened to be the famous saying in the "Zi Han" chapter - when the year is cold, then we know that the pine and cypress are the last to wither.

His tone was calm, he drew inferences from one example, and he could also combine examples from life to help students understand better, the level is very good.

He is indeed suitable to be a teacher.

What makes Zhou Yuan unhappy is that this bastard is wearing a long gown, and he actually has the demeanor of a Confucian disciple, and he seems to be younger than before.

Damn, why is he more handsome than me!

After the class, Zhang Bailong turned around and left the classroom, and happened to see Zhou Yuan standing in the courtyard.

He was stunned for a moment, and almost screamed out of fright.

Then he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Let's talk in the backyard."

Zhou Yuan followed and said slowly: "You are doing well. I heard that you have a son and a daughter? I heard that you married a nice girl?"

Zhang Bailong said: "She is a widow. Her husband joined the uprising army and died in Funiu Mountain. You are her enemy."

Zhou Yuan said: "Then don't meet."

"Of course not."

Zhang Bailong made him a cup of tea, then sat in the pavilion in the backyard of the school and said: "She is different from me. She is just an ordinary citizen with a pitiful life and a small courage. The appearance of a big man like you will only make her feel pressured."

Seeing his calm appearance, Zhou Yuan sat down with some emotion and said: "After so many years, you are still brave."

Zhang Bailong smiled and said: "After all, I have done a few big things. Maybe there was a time when the luck of the world was really in my hands. Stay on the body "Zhou Yuan said:" You can say so, if you do n’t have me, you may be a big thing, at least for many years. "Zhang Bailong looked at him, saying," Western region recovered? " Come, it will not look like today. "" It may be worse than before. "" It is difficult to rule the country. I feel tired when I heard the news of you fighting everywhere. "Zhou Yuan laughed:" I came to you, guess what I was looking for you? "Zhang Bailong shook his head:" "Zhou Yuan said:" I want to hit you. "" Ah? "Zhang Bailong was really surprised. But Zhou Yuan's fist had smashed. He punched and kicked him, gritting his teeth and saying, "You bastard! You spread rumors about me, and I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."

"You bastard, do you think I'm busy and don't have time to come and deal with you!"

"You deserve this beating!"

"Why are you more handsome than me!"

After the beating, Zhou Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "It feels good!"
