The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Ning recalled it carefully, but he really thought of something.

"Well, they have been recruited by the imperial court now. They have become soldiers of the official army and occupied the entire Bingzhou. It can be regarded as some strength."

"Then, Your Majesty, that's great. Since we are old friends of the Yellow Turban Army, let's send someone to contact them now. Based on the previous friendship between His Majesty and them, we can surely persuade them to switch to His Majesty. When the time comes, we should cooperate internally and externally to defeat the court in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be much easier. "

Thinking of those people, who may be the remnants of the former Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Ning, who is the saint of the Yellow Turban Army, will have some feelings.

I thought I could join hands with them to deal with the imperial court.

It's a pity that Liu Zheng shook his head at this moment.

"Ning'er, your thinking is too simple. Although those people are under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, they did not really inherit the will of the Yellow Turban Army. They are rebels who make decisions for the people. Under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, pretending to be Yao and cheating."

"The purpose is to win over people and horses, so as to create more forces. It's just a warlord in troubled times purely for his own consideration."

"If they want to cooperate with us, or will take refuge in us, they don't have to wait until now. It's time to send someone over to contact us."

"They haven't come all this time, and their development is getting better and better. Why should they join us as a person of no status."

Liu Zheng told Zhang Ning what he was thinking in his heart. In fact, if this matter were Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng would never go to seek refuge with his former younger brother under such circumstances.

At first, I couldn't save face.Secondly, even if he took refuge, he might not be able to have the current identity and status. He was always just a younger brother under Liu Zheng, but now he is a big brother, although he does not have as many sites and people as Liu Zheng.

But at least in terms of status, he is on an equal footing with Liu Zheng.

As soon as Zhang Ning heard it, Liu Zheng's explanation was also understood, and he simply stopped talking.

After talking about Zhang Ning, Liu Zheng looked at Yuan Rou again.

Because Yuan Rou and Mi Zhen joined late, they were not as relaxed as the other three when eating.

Basically, they are all listening by themselves, rarely interjecting.

It's not that they have nothing to say, but their identities and status are here. They are just a political marriage, and they don't have a relationship with Liu Zheng.

Yuan Rou is better, at least she has been by Liu Zheng's side for a while, but Mi Zhen has no emotional basis at all. Although she has some sense of admiration for Liu Zheng, beauties have loved heroes since ancient times, but Liu Zheng's love for Mi Zhen doesn't have much emotion, and this kind of emotion can only be cultivated slowly in the future.

Liu Zheng asked about Yuan Rou's elder brother Yuan Yao's recent situation, and then asked about his father Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu doesn't have too many thoughts now, and he is too old to make a fuss.

Especially after knowing that Yuan Shao was killed by Liu Zheng, Yuan Shu was somewhat sad.He has retired at home recently, but Yuan Yao is a bit talented. He stayed in the military camp for a while before being assigned by Liu Zheng to serve as the prefect of Jiaozhou.

It should be a matter of beauty to accumulate qualifications and lose his official position as a state governor in the future.

It's just that Liu Zheng's official positions such as governor are separate from military power, and they only have jurisdiction over the territory, and there are no soldiers under him.

The military power is all in the hands of Liu Zheng's generals.

I asked Mi Zhen again, what Mi Fang is doing recently, and Mi Fang has nothing else to be busy with. As a financial officer, the bank and the entire business affairs are enough for him to be busy. How can he have the mind to take care of other things? Woolen cloth.

After a meal, Liu Zheng thought that these women had stayed in the palace for a long time recently, and before the weather was completely cold, he thought about taking them out for an autumn outing.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to investigate the disappearance of the 2000 million yuan.

Chapter 849 Autumn Outing

When Liu Zheng told them the news of taking them out for an autumn outing, they all became excited.

Even Yuan Ruan and Mi Zhen, who had nothing to say at first, became.

Taking advantage of this time to go to Danyang County to deal with the missing money, he can also take these women out for an outing, play and relax.

On the surface it was for fun, but in fact, I wanted to take this opportunity to investigate in private.

Now that he had decided, he quickly started to act.Instruct his staff to start the next day.

The emperor went out, and he brought so many concubines with him.There are many people required for the guard of honor alone, not to mention the guards.

Fortunately, Danyang County is not too far from Jianye, which means it can be reached in a day.

He asked his own staff in advance to prepare the ingredients needed for the next day's trip, and planned to have a bbq in the wild.

Li Yang.

This place belongs to Huainan County.

However, it is close to the Yangtze River, and it is only across the river from the Jianye City established by Liu Zheng.

It is half a day away from Jianye City.

This is also where Xie Nan and others lost their money this time.

Liu Zheng ordered people to choose a good day and took his harem concubines to Liyang to play.

It is said to be for fun, but in fact it is to look at the scenery and relax.

The scenery along the Yangtze River is still good.

In this land of Liyang, there is a Jilong Mountain, which is quite beautiful and can be seen. At the same time, there is also a branch of the Yangtze River called Wujiang.

Wujiang is more famous as the place where Xiang Yu, the famous overlord of Chu, committed suicide hundreds of years ago.

Of course, Liu Zheng is not interested in seeing the place where Xiang Yu committed suicide, he just came here for fun.

Zhang Muyu, Cai Yao and others rarely come out to play.Because it's not like it used to be.Now they have high positions and powers, and they are already the mother of a country.

Or security issues, or image issues.

They are not suitable to continue to appear outside.

It's just that this time, with Liu Zheng's permission, they were able to come out to play together.

So they also looked very happy. After all, after staying in the palace for a long time, people will have a little bit of the illusion of being trapped in a caged bird.

Playing is naturally the first thing to do, be happy.

He ordered people to put the prepared fire on, and then put the skewered ingredients on it to roast.

Although there is no chili, there are still some other condiments, such as salt, oil, and pepper, which are barely usable.

Of course, pure barbecue does not require too many seasonings, but it can also be very flavorful.

After all, eating barbecue is an experience and fun. As for the deliciousness of the grilled food, it is second.

These women have never experienced such a novelty as barbecue, so there is still a great sense of novelty at this time.

Completely disregarding their images as queens and concubines, each of them took the initiative to participate.

Maybe it's because women are born with a love and talent for cooking. After Liu Zheng taught them once, they learned it very quickly.

What's more, the food tasted good, at least when Liu Zheng ate it, Huo Hai felt that it was more suitable for his own appetite.

While they were playing lively, Liu Zheng saw Yuan Zhou leading someone and came over.

As the prime minister, Yuan Zhou is also the commander of Jin Yiwei, so he usually holds a high position and authority.

"His Majesty."

Yuan Zhou approached Liu Zheng and yelled at Liu Zheng softly.

After Liu Zheng saw Yuan Zhou coming, he got up and led Yuan Zhou a little farther to the edge of the Yangtze River. Zhang Muyu, Cai Yao and the others didn't say much after seeing this scene. Liu Zheng was about to get down to business, playing on his own, coaxing the two children.

When he walked to the edge of the Yangtze River with only a few cronies, Liu Zheng questioned Yuan Zhou while looking at the uneven surface of the Yangtze River.

"Is there any clue?"

"Return to Your Majesty, our people have been investigating this area for two days, and there is no clue at all. The underwater has also sent people to salvage it, and we have not even seen the shadow of the lost money."

Yuan Zhou was also quite puzzled at this time. Although several auxiliary ministers said that the river monster might be responsible for this matter, Yuan Zhou also grew up near the Yangtze River Basin, so he didn't particularly believe in the river monster's theory.

"Then what suspicious places can be found around here?"

"No, the nearby water is turbulent, and it is difficult for ships to navigate. Some merchant ships or other passenger ships are often capsized here. Therefore, the boatmen nearby say that there are river monsters here, and few people dare to come here."

Originally, Liu Zheng didn't believe these words, but after hearing this from Yuan Zhou, Liu Zheng frowned again.

"Have you tried it, and the scene reappeared? Send someone from Poyang to use another small boat, filled with money, and transport it here to have a look."

"Not yet. If His Majesty needs it, we will do it now."

"Well, you send someone to do it first, and then report to me when you get here."

Liu Zheng has no clue for the time being, so he can only investigate things here slowly.

He returned to the barbecue place with a gloomy face. Yuan Rou, Cai Yao, Mi Zhen and others were still laughing, but Zhang Ning had sensed what Liu Zheng was thinking.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

8 Chapter Fifty

Zhang Ning is smarter, and has always played the same role as the female military adviser next to Liu Zheng.

At this time, after seeing through Liu Zheng's thoughts, he took the initiative to ask Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng didn't want to say it at first, after all, he was out for fun today, and he didn't want to make Zhang Ning and others feel sad because of these things.

But thinking that this matter was caused by the river monster, and Zhang Ning's father, Zhang Jiao, was originally the founder of the Taiping Dao, Zhang Ning may be more convincing about these things.

"Ning'er, what do you think about ghosts and gods?"

"The theory of ghosts and gods? Your Majesty, why are you asking this?"

Zhang Ning was a little surprised when he heard Liu Zheng's words.However, he quickly answered Liu Zheng's own views on the theory of ghosts and gods.

"If you believe in this thing, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, but there are many things in this world that we can't explain, and many people will blame it on ghosts and gods."

"Actually, I personally don't really believe in this stuff, because my father once told me that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, and man will conquer heaven. The emperor is called the Son of Heaven, but he is also a mortal body. All the ghosts and gods are nothing but The delusions of our own minds."

Zhang Ning's answer made Liu Zheng look up a little bit, but he didn't expect that he, an ancient person, would fit in well with modern people's thinking.

It never occurred to him that Zhang Ning, the Saintess of the Yellow Turban Army, would not believe in ghosts and gods.

But it's normal to think about it. Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Yellow Turban Army, doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. If he did, he wouldn't do anything to overthrow the court.

He will fear ghosts and gods, pursue a kind form and style and will not cause more evil.

It is precisely because of Zhang Jiao that he does not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods that he shaped Taiping Taoism.Want to overthrow the court.Build a different world.

"Ning'er didn't expect you to have such insight."

"Your Majesty, thank you very much."

"Actually, what I'm having a headache at the moment is this."

After all, Liu Zheng told Zhang Ning what he was encountering now and the situation he was facing.

When Zhang Ning heard Liu Zheng say that the ship sailed here, it was suddenly hit by a strong wind, and then a big wave rolled over the ship, Zhang Ning immediately frowned.

"Your Majesty! This matter is very strange."

"Ning'er also feels that something is wrong?"

"The theory of the river monster is nonsense. Let's not talk about whether there is really a river monster. Even if there is, why don't you overturn other ships and just stare at our money-transporting ships?"

"Moreover, my father once took me to explore the alien visions between the heaven and the earth, just to confirm the spirits between the heavens and the earth. But in the end, they couldn't find the so-called alien beasts and monsters."

"So I don't believe there are river monsters in the Yangtze River. The boat capsized, it should be due to other reasons."

Zhang Ning's words fit Liu Zheng's thoughts, but they haven't guessed why the boat capsized yet.

"Your Majesty, I once heard from my father that there are hidden reefs and even undercurrents in many great rivers. Some places with fast-flowing water will form eddies, and those eddies will directly capsize ships."

Zhang Ning shared his thoughts with Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng nodded.

"Ning'er, what you said is exactly what I thought in my heart. The river demon should not be the cause of the capsized boat. It's probably caused by this undercurrent. However, why did those coins disappear suddenly, and there is not a dime left? "

"This concubine is not clear."

Liu Zheng asked again, which made Zhang Ning a little clueless as to what was hidden in it.

Obviously, Liu Zheng couldn't figure it out for a while.

Since he couldn't figure it out clearly, he wouldn't keep thinking hard about this matter.Some things are like this, you may not be able to understand it if you have been thinking about it.

But when you let go of him temporarily, maybe you will be able to understand the truth in a flash of inspiration.

Next, for a period of time, he was always by his wife and children's side.

Waiting for Yuan Zhou and Zhang Kai to pass back some information about the Yangtze River Basin to him.

However, Yuan Zhou, who was supposed to arrive here in a day and a half, did not arrive here on time as scheduled.

Instead, it took two days to slowly approach this place in a boat.
