Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Knowing that Gu Shaoyu was willing to recommend Ling Xun as the imperial envoy, Xie Zhaozhao asked Guan Yan to call Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng to the teahouse.

Xie Zhaozhao was counting the night watches at home, thinking that the winter solstice should have arrived, so he put on a fox fur coat, got on a horse-drawn carriage, asked Mo Yan to drive, and Yuan Yuanman followed, and they went to Qingyuan Teahouse.

Bei Chen sat in the dark, watching the people going out, a hint of envy showing on his cold face.

When Xie Zhaozhao arrived at the teahouse, Guan Yan immediately put out the stool and said softly, "Miss, Master Ling and Master Zhang are here."

Xie Zhaozhao got off the carriage, and Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng came out to greet him. The three of them did not bother to be polite in the snowy weather and went into the tea room.

Xie Zhaozhao got straight to the point and asked, "Do you two know about the riots among the people of Zhongzhou?"

Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng nodded: "Today, His Majesty was angry and has issued an order to summon the Crown Prince back to the court. The people of Zhongzhou rose up and occupied Zhongzhou Prefecture and several surrounding cities."

"Ling Xun, Zhang Xiangsheng, Lord Gu has decided to recommend you two to go to Zhongzhou to provide disaster relief." Xie Zhaozhao said, "This is also what I meant."

It is a heavy burden, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng were stunned for a moment, then responded, "We're willing to go."

"I know you will definitely go." Xie Zhaozhao said, "You must find a way to appease the people of Zhongzhou and persuade them to give up the riot. The task is arduous, but it is also an opportunity."

"When you go back, immediately consider how to persuade the enemy, repel the enemy, appease the people, and maintain long-term peace. Think of a comprehensive strategy. Your Majesty has already made plans for food. When the time comes, someone will take the initiative to cooperate with you."

"Ling Xun, you are an imperial envoy, but you cannot just think of yourself as an imperial envoy. You must truly help the local people and let them see the sincerity of the court."

Only a few of them knew the route she, Yin Jinan, and Li Yunmu were taking, and Ling Xun would not tell them.

"Yes, we will definitely fulfill our mission." Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng knew that Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Ge Lao had already made arrangements for them. This was a road to heaven specially given to them.

They both knelt down to express their gratitude.

The three of them didn't say much, Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng left in a hurry.

Xie Zhaozhao waited until they left and drank a pot of tea before leaving.

Not long after returning to Qingpuyuan, Xu Li came back from outside and asked to see Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu had something urgent to see her about, so she didn't take off her fox fur coat and stood in the corridor.

"Madam, Master Yin sent someone to deliver a letter."

Xu Li gave the secret letter sealed with wax to Xie Zhaozhao.

After Xie Zhaozhao received the letter, he went into the inner room and took off his fox fur coat.

Yin Jinan's handwriting is not very good, but it is clear and understandable.

“Two days before the earthquake, the people of Shi’an City also saw strange phenomena in the sky, and some even saw a huge fireball in the northwest direction.

According to your suggestion, we sent people to spread rumors in Shi'an City, saying that a dragon was about to overturn the city."

It is said that an expert predicted that in the next three days, not only will the earth's dragons rise in Shi'an City, but there will also be heavy rain and severe cold, and all the people in this city will be destroyed.

On September 16, there was a major earthquake in Zhongzhou. Since Shi'an City was only 300 miles away from Zhongzhou Prefecture, the earthquake was also very serious.

The mountain shook several times a day for several days in a row, and many houses collapsed.

The mayor of Shi'an City was scared to death.

On the fourth day, heavy rain and strong winds began to blow, and there were constant aftershocks. The city lord thought about the rumors spread by Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu, and he believed them all at once.

On the tenth day, the people from the City Lord's Mansion took the lead in fleeing Shi'an City, carrying gold and silver valuables, and transferred all the people from Yanjing away, fleeing to Yongzhou City not far from Shitong Port.

Yin Jinan had been sending people to keep an eye on the City Lord's Mansion to see if they ran away. Fu Yingde and Liang Jianguo led the navy, Dong Qin led a group of new recruits, Xie Jiuliang led 50 Xuanyi guards, and Yunyang led 400 palace soldiers. It only took half a day to occupy Shi'an City.

Without any bloodshed, they captured Shi'an City.

In addition to the several ships of food they brought from Johor, the people all listened to them, and Shi'an City was now completely under their control.

Seeing this, Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Okay!"

Yuanyuan asked, "What did Master Yin say?"

"He has taken over Shi'an City. Now he is also the lord of the city!"

"Haha, Master Yin must be very proud."

Indeed, there was something he was proud of in the letter, which was that he had known a chivalrous knight in his early years, named Ren Jialin, who was commissioned by him to snatch Guan Yingying away!

"As you said, there are food, medicine, candles, and the panacea you mentioned. But the panacea is not a pill, but a paste."

"One is a black paste that smells like urine, and the other is a yellow paste that smells a little sweet."

"Ren Jialin is very knowledgeable. He said that the ointment is a kind of chronic poison that is given to rich people in the underworld. It is addictive and will eventually cause madness, weight loss and death. It is extremely vicious."

Not only Guan Yingying and Gu Jiaojiao were dealing in supplies, there were also dozens of Nanzhao people.

Ren Jialin drugged them and took away their belongings and all their money.

Xie Zhaozhao read it twice, breathed a sigh of relief, and burned the letter in the brazier.

When the letter paper came into contact with fire, the seemingly ferocious flames turned into black fragments in the blink of an eye and returned to dust.

Gu Chengyan, Guan Yingying, in this life, forget about your business empire. Your plans to harm others will not succeed.

**

At 3:00 p.m., Gu Shaoyu left the court and returned home on time.

The entire Qingpu Courtyard was filled with a fragrance.

Aunt Cui and Yuanyuanman were stewing Tuzhidan in the small kitchen.

Tuzhidan is a larger taro. The smaller taro is called Tuli, which is also called taro seeds.

"Son-in-law, you're back just in time," Yuanyuan said happily, "Aunt Cui dried taro in the summer, so we can eat stewed taro today."

She told Nanxing to clean up the area around the grill, and put the roasted chestnuts in a basket and handed it to him: "You guys can eat as much as you want. Aunt Cui roasted a lot."

Gu Shaoyu rubbed his hands vigorously and went into the house. Xie Zhaozhao took off his cloak and wrung out the hot towel and gave it to him.

Aunt Cui has already prepared the wine.

She wrapped the taro with a wet towel, then coated the outside with boiled wine and fermented glutinous rice, and finally simmered it over low heat with bran.

The fragrance wafted out, and Yuanyuanman happily took the taro, peeled off the skin, revealing the pale purple taro flesh.

It was placed in the small bowls of Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu, with forks also placed there, and a dish of granulated sugar next to it.

Gu Shaoyu peeled the hot Tuzhidan and said, "I recommended Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng to His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed to appoint Ling Xun as the Imperial Envoy for Disaster Relief and Peace Negotiations, and Zhang Xiangsheng as his deputy. The imperial edict will come down soon."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and said, "Yin Er and Li Er also helped to get at least 3,000 stones of salt, enough for the disaster area to eat for a year."

"If you were in the court, you would be no less capable than those third-rank officials, and you would be very thoughtful and comprehensive."

He and His Majesty were also worried about salt. No one knew what people were thinking. Whenever there was a natural disaster, they would immediately stockpile salt, causing a sudden shortage of salt in the market.

The taro that Aunt Cui simmered with charcoal was soft, fragrant and sticky. Gu Shaoyu dipped the taro in his hand in white sugar and gently placed it to her mouth. Seeing her eat it in small bites, his Adam's apple rolled.

He leaned closer and looked into her eyes. Suddenly, his eyes sparkled and he looked extremely charming: "Little darling, three meals a day, three meals are done, there is still one thing left."

"Gah~" Xie Zhaozhao choked!
