Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Outside the Guangde Hall, a young man in black clothes climbed up the steps.

He has walked this white jade step many times.After four years, he set foot again, and his mood was different from before.

The palace is still full of intrigue and intrigue.

But because of Lou Yu's existence, he no longer rejects it.

Huo Yan stepped into the hall step by step.

Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the spirit is heroic.

When everyone saw it, they all lamented that he was not inferior to Huo Yi's demeanor back then, and even faintly surpassed Huo Yi.

Huo Yan stood at the bottom of the steps, his eyes met Lou Yu on the seat, and he quickly lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, saluting: "Huo Yan, a grassroots man, greets His Majesty."

Lou Bing said with a smile, "Huo Erlang doesn't need to be polite, get up."

He looked at Huo Yan's awe-inspiring figure, and then looked at the power of Hess around Lou Yu, he couldn't believe the so-called rumors.

Can't help but ask: "Huo Yan, I have heard the rumors about you and the King of Dong'an. If you let the rumors continue to ferment, it may damage the reputation of the King of Dong'an and the Huo family. The general suggested before that as long as you stay in Beijing to serve, you will wait for the King of Dong'an." Returning to the fiefdom, the rumors will naturally disintegrate. What do you think?"

Huo Yan pretended to be thinking for a moment, then suddenly looked at Tang Cheng: "Dare to ask General Tang, how is my father?"

Tang Cheng didn't hesitate: "High-spirited, bright and upright."

"How is my brother?"

"Lovely and far-reaching, Yujie Songzhen."

Huo Yan continued to ask: "Are they ungrateful people?"

"of course not."

"Are they people who broke their promises and got fat?"

"Of course not."

Huo Yan's brows were cold, and he said angrily, "Then why did you let me do such treacherous things?"

"..."

Tang Cheng was very puzzled: "When did I let you do something that broke your promise?"

Huo Yan suddenly looked at Yu Yu on the stairs, with a firm expression, Yue Zhiyuan was stunned.

"The king of Dong'an has the grace to save my life. I have made a vow that in this life I will steal the stone bandit seat and the white head will never change; the king of Dong'an has the grace of knowing me. I have made a big vow that in this life I will live in a tree and a bird." , Never mind!"

He scolded Tang Cheng: "General Tang asked me to leave the King of Dong'an and stay in Beijing to serve. Didn't he make me break my promise and live up to my words?!"

Everyone: "..."

It sounds reasonable.

Someone stepped forward and retorted: "The general kindly wants to clarify the rumors for you and King Dong'an, but you misinterpret his good intentions like this. Isn't this not a breach of trust?"

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing.

"General Tang has broken his heart for the Huo family's reputation. It is indeed well-intentioned. However, I am curious, when the Huo family was framed, did General Tang come forward to defend the Huo family?"

That person: "..."

"What does King Dong'an mean?" Tang Cheng asked with deep eyes.

Lou Yu was condescending, and said bluntly: "I mean, why do you have to be hypocritical?"

The atmosphere in the hall froze again.

The ministers slandered in their hearts, and the King of Dong'an often made shocking words, which made them tremble with fear every day when they went to court.

But the amazing thing is that it is very enjoyable to watch.

Tang Cheng said angrily: "Pretentious? It was Huizong who gave the order at the beginning, and I was only a lieutenant general. How can I refute it? And you, King Dong'an, you treated the Huo family kindly back then. Wasn't it a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"Of course not." Lou Yu smiled lightly, "I see him as handsome and extraordinary, so I really can't bear to hurt him. What's the problem?"

The words were slightly ambiguous, but not explicit, and everyone couldn't tell what Lou Yu meant.

Tang Cheng immediately said: "So you really regard Huo Yan as a 'servant'?! King Dong'an, if you force the son of a loyal minister, you won't be afraid of ridicule by the world?!"

Lou Yu: "..."

He said helplessly: "General Tang, why are you inconsistent again? You said that it was a crime of deceiving the emperor that I treated the blood of the Huo family kindly, and that I forced the son of a loyal minister to be ridiculed by the world, which really makes me laugh. I sincerely suggest you read more Order a book."

Tang Cheng said sharply: "King Dong'an, don't be so eloquent! The Huo family's name cannot be profaned! If you really think about the Huo family, you shouldn't keep Huo Yan by your side!"

He spoke righteously and strictly, as if Lou Yu would be a sinner through the ages if he didn't agree.

Lou Yu casually asked: "Does General Tang have the heart of disobedience, trying to seize power and ascend the throne?"

Everyone: "..."

Tang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said in amazement, "Why does the King of Dong'an slander me with such nonsense?"

"Are you really not disobedient?" Lou Yu asked solemnly.

"Of course!" Tang Cheng didn't want to deny it.

Lou Yu was surprised and said: "Oh, it turned out that I misunderstood General Tang. I saw that General Tang's [-] Northwest Army had been staying in Gyeonggi, and the General did not return to the Northwest, so I accidentally misunderstood the General's innocence. General, in order to clarify This misunderstanding, you might as well take the Northwest Army back to Yunzhou, or else you will stay in the capital, and everyone will continue to misunderstand."

Everyone: Convinced, convinced!It's a pity that the king of Dong'an should not be the censor!

Lou Yu defeated Tang Cheng with Tang Cheng's logic, and Tang Cheng was trapped in the vicious circle of logic, and for a while he didn't know how to refute.

"Actually, there is a way to get the best of both worlds. Would General Tang want to hear it?" Lou Yu asked sincerely.

Tang Cheng didn't want to continue talking to him, but he was bound to keep Huo Yan in the capital today, so he had to continue to deal with it.

"Appreciate further details."

Lou Yu smiled and said, "General Tang can stay in the capital and continue to assist the government. At the same time, the [-] Northwest Army will be brought back to the northwest by the new commander to garrison the frontier. In this way, the general's innocence can be cleared."

Everyone: Ruthless or Dongan Wang Ruthless!

Tang Cheng smiled on the surface: "King Dong'an is really funny, if that's the case, why don't you want Huo Yan to stay in the capital?"

Lou Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were unclear.

Before Tang Cheng understood what he meant, he heard Huo Yan speak.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give up my identity as the Huo family, just to stay by the King of Dong'an's side and do my best. From now on, everything that happens to me has nothing to do with the Huo family!"

As soon as these words came out, the stone was shocked.

Give up the identity of the Huo family!

Is Huo Yan stupid?

Everyone present couldn't understand it.

Now that the Huo family's lintel is re-established, and the imperial court is in the midst of employing people, the recovery of the Huo family is a certainty. As long as Huo Yan is willing, he can definitely win a high position and rich salary, and revive the glory of the Huo family!

He is still not as good as the weak crown, and the road ahead is still long. If he makes contributions in the future, he may still be ranked among the third.

But he gave up just like that?

You know, without the glory of the Huo family, his future journey would not be as smooth as it is now.

And he made such a choice just to repay his kindness.

Alas!respectable!Convincing!

Really don't fall into the name of the Huo family's alpine scenery!

Tang Cheng was speechless.

He stared at Huo Yan in a daze, as if he saw Huo Yi who was once in high spirits and scolded Fang Qiu.

Who in the world does not love loyal ministers and good generals?

For a moment, he was a little jealous of Lou Yu.

The crows and sparrows in the hall were silent, and no one uttered a sound.

Everyone was shocked by Huo Yan's words.

Lou Bing suddenly smiled and said: "Great kindness! Huo Erlang is so upright and clean, and he is different from the current customs. I admire this act of tying grass and rings! I will immediately issue an edict to clarify this matter and clarify the rumors!"

"Thank you for your grace!"

Huo Yan raised his head and met Lou Yu's eyes, firm and deep.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Tang Cheng.

Huo Erlang is willing to give up the identity of the Huo family in order to repay his kindness and clarify the rumors, what about you?

Are you willing to give up the command of the Northwest Army in order to show your innocence?

Of course Tang Cheng didn't want to.

Just before the early dynasty, the contents of the "Gyeongju Xunbao" set off a frenzy in the capital.

Although there is already a "Kingcheng Daily" in the capital, the "Kingcheng Daily" is obviously an imitation, and it does not have the intention and sophistication of the "Gyeongju Xunbao".

Therefore, "Gyeongju Xunbao" is still the first choice of ordinary people.

The news of the new issue directly left everyone speechless.

What?In order to repay his kindness and clear up the rumors, Huo Jia Erlang voluntarily gave up his identity as the Huo family, just to stay with King Dong'an? !

Someone didn't understand, so he asked: "He repays the favor, why did he leave the Huo family?"

"Hey, it's not those rumors! I don't know if it's the rumors spread by that turtle grandson, saying that Huo Erlang was willing to degenerate and become the bed warmer of King Dong'an in order to survive!"

"How did I hear that the King of Dong'an forced him?"

"Nothing! Don't listen to people's nonsense! It was King Dong'an who was grateful for General Huo's contribution and strength of character, and saved the blood of the Huo family on purpose! Huo Erlang followed around all the time in order to repay his kindness!"

"Who is that slandering King Dong'an and Huo Erlang?"

"Don't call him Huo Erlang, he is now the pillar of the Huo family, but he has given up his identity as the Huo family."

"What should it be called?"

"Isn't he the commander of the Qing Army? Just call him Commander Huo!"

When the morning dynasty ended, the people in the capital had heard about Huo Yan's actions.

There are those who praise, and there are those who scold.

Some people praised him for knowing how to repay his kindness, while others scolded him for forgetting his ancestors.

It wasn't until Lou Bing issued an edict, praising Huo Yan for drinking water and remembering the source, for not falling into the character of the Huo family, and allowing him to give up his identity as the Huo family and continue to work for Lou Yu, that the voice of denunciation was subsided.

After the decree was promulgated, the common people used their gossip skills to dig out the disputes in the early court.

In the streets and alleys, there were many discussions.

There are many discerning people in the capital.

Tang Cheng's intentions were too obvious, and everyone thought about it for a while, and they knew that he wanted to cut off the wings of King Dong'an.

"Why stay in Beijing to serve? Why do you think for the sake of the Huo family's reputation? When the Huo family was murdered, as the deputy general of General Huo, did he come forward to argue for the general? Bah!"

"So, someone is really hypocritical!"

"Could it be that the "Jingcheng Daily" was actually created by someone? Deliberately smearing King Dong'an and Commander Huo?"

"When you say that, I think so too! I wondered before, who would be so bold as to stroke Dong'an King's tiger beard, but now think about it, who else would dare except someone with great power?"

"He's so hypocritical, he couldn't really frame General Huo at the beginning, right?"

"Didn't you say there was no evidence?"

"But he is obviously ambitious. It all depends on whether he is willing to lead the Northwest Army back to the border!"

"Forget it, forget it, what does the matter of the big man have to do with us?"

Tang Cheng wanted to fight a public opinion war, so of course Lou Yu would accompany him.

He guided the ferment of rumors among the people in the capital with hidden clues, which made Tang Cheng's "hypocrisy" famous.

When Tang Cheng was angry and helpless, he asked someone to write several articles, praising Tang Cheng's actions to protect the reputation of the Huo family, and portraying Tang Cheng as a benevolent and kind old man of the Huo family, all of which were submitted to "Beijing Daily".

The manager of the "Jingcheng Daily" was under Tang Cheng's orders, and he was already worried about Tang Cheng's reputation. When he first saw such a manuscript, he was naturally overjoyed, and asked people to hurry up and print it overnight.

Tang Cheng has always cherished feathers. Although he has [-] soldiers and horses on display in the capital, he can use the excuse of defending the capital to put money on his face.

But the Huo family's matter can't be justified.

The more the newspapers praised his kindness, the more the people saw through his disguise.

"If he is so kind, why didn't he say a word for the general?"

"Who doesn't know that the "Beijing Daily" was run by him? Now that he is boasting in such a way, he really puts money on his face!"

"Is it really good to be so self-proclaimed? He was the one who poured the dirty water on King Dong'an and Commander Huo back then? It's really vicious!"

"King Dong'an is the greatest hero of King Qin, and he actually used newspapers to slander the hero! What on earth is he thinking!"

The extremes must be reversed.

Tang Cheng first tasted the power of public opinion from "Gyeongju Xunbao", but what he understood was only some superficial appearances.

Methods such as "anti-faking loyalty" and "covering black skin" can sometimes guide public opinion better than positive debates.

If there are too many "hot searches for praise", it will ruin the popularity of passers-by.

The common people didn't want to see the disgusting praises in the newspapers anymore, but spontaneously looked for Tang Cheng's black spots.

To sum up, Tang Cheng has three black spots.

One is Chen Bing Jingji, who seems to have wolf ambitions; the other is hypocrisy and affectation, intending to discredit the reputation of King Dong'an and Commander Huo; and the third is suspected of framing General Huo Yi.

These are not summed up by the common people themselves, but Lou Yu asked the common people to come up with them.

He wants to take advantage of the public opinion to attack Tang Cheng with public opinion.

Tang Cheng cherished the feathers, so Lou Yu stripped them off.

Right now public opinion is reversed.

Lou Yu and Huo Yan are not forced and forced, but a pair of admirable Bole and Maxima.

Wang Hui of Dong'an knows the pearl with his eyes, and Tong Huo tied the knot with the grass to hold the ring. The friendship between the two is very deep, which is very admirable.

Tang Cheng was so angry that he overturned the table in the study.

He asked the military adviser with red eyes angrily: "Didn't you say that you can break your arms like this!"

The military adviser shook his head and sighed: "How did I know that Huo Yan would voluntarily give up his Huo family identity in order not to insult the family style?"

In the future, even if Huo Yan and Lou Yu really have an affair, no one else has room to comment.

Tang Cheng was envious and jealous, and shouted: "The Huo family are all brains!"

"Who said no?" The military division sighed again.

Tang Cheng sat down on the chair dejectedly, and said: "At the beginning Huizong wanted to kill Huo Yi, I pretended to persuade Huo Yi to rebel, but Huo Yi categorically refused. Now Huo Yan gave up his easy-to-get glory and wealth for the sake of Lou Yu What kind of poison did the Lou family put on the Huo family? Huo Yi and Huo Shun died at the hands of the Lou family, and Huo Yan really didn't hate it at all?"

He really couldn't understand why Huo Yan was still so loyal to Lou Yu.

"Could it be...the two of them really have an affair?" The military division frowned.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head and vetoed it.

"Both of them are tough-tempered people, and they will definitely not be like this."

Tang Cheng said: "I've met the young lady from Nanfeng Hall, there is no similarity between them."

Of course, that kind of "brothers" is indispensable in the military camp, but most of them are strong on one side and weak on the other, or simply solve each other's needs.

Is the King of Dong'an short of warm beds?Does Huo Yan lack warm beds?

None.

Therefore, the above conjectures are not valid.

In the simple male thinking of Tang Cheng and the military division, they never imagined that there would be two men in love in the world.

The military adviser suggested: "It's better to be patient for a few days, general. When King Dong'an returns to Qingzhou, isn't the capital under your control?"

Tang Cheng and Lou Yu had confronted each other several times, but they all ended in failure. Now that they are mentally exhausted, they don't want to see Lou Yu's face anymore.

"But now the rumors in the capital are so rampant, it's really unbearable!"

Every time he passed the market, he always felt that the people beside the market were staring at him strangely, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"If the general is willing, he will personally order the "Beijing Daily" to be shut down."

For the current plan, the best way to curb the rumors is for Tang Cheng to come forward in person and fight back with actions.

Of course Tang Cheng was reluctant.

He has already tasted the benefits brought by the war of public opinion, how can he destroy the mouthpiece he has painstakingly built?

"Is there no other way?" he asked.

The military adviser said: "Only in this way can the people's suspicion of you be eliminated. Now the more the newspaper praises you, the more the people will dislike you. Therefore, the newspaper has become a drag on you, not a gain."

Tang Cheng understood this to the end, and after a long silence, he sighed, "That's the only way to go."

In order to preserve his reputation, in front of the common people, he personally led people to seal up the bookstore where "Jingcheng Daily" was printed.

Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and the "Beijing Daily" is destined to be only a flash in the pan.

The date of Dong'an King's return celebration is set on December [-]th.

One day before departure, at Lou Bing's call, Lou Yu entered the palace and went to the imperial study.

"A Yu," Lou Bing covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and said with a pale face, "I wrote a letter. When you return to Qingzhou, can you pass it to the teacher for me?"

Lou Yu said: "Your Majesty's orders are naturally obeyed. However, Your Majesty still wants to ask Fan Gong to return to Beijing to assist the government?"

Lou Bing smiled when he heard the words: "I would like to, but the teacher must have been extremely disappointed in me, I know, the teacher will not agree."

He paused, and said with a lonely expression: "I failed his expectations."

The new dynasty was established, but there was no news from the teacher, so Lou Bing knew it.

Lou Yu looked at him and couldn't help feeling sorry.

In a prosperous age, Lou Bing might become a successful king with no achievements or faults.

But he was born in troubled times, so he can only become a pawn in the struggle for power.

He lost his dearest relatives, and now he is just a widow. In the deep and silent palace, there is not even a single person who can talk to him.

"Your Majesty, I see that you have been suffering from cough recently, but have you ever been seen by the imperial physician?" Lou Yu asked with concern.

Lou Bing shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the weather is cold, and I just got a bit cold."

"Your Majesty take care of the dragon body."

Hearing the sincerity in his words, Lou Bing couldn't help feeling sour, and his eyes were slightly hot.

He couldn't help but say what was in his heart: "A Yu, am I really useless?"

"Your Majesty went to the northwest to ask for help, and ordered the world to work hard for the king. Now that the country is stable and the government is clear, how can it be said that it is useless?"

Lou Bing couldn't help laughing.

He shook his head and sighed: "A Yu, you don't need to comfort me, we still have to rely on you for the stability of the Lou family in the future."

Lou Yu's brows moved slightly, but his face remained unchanged: "What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you." The servant outside the palace suddenly reported.

The imperial concubine is the former side concubine Tang.

After the rebels entered the city, the East Palace fell.

Lou Bing knew that he was unable to recover, so he got advice from Concubine Tang, so he followed her to the northwest for help.

He left behind his father, emperor and brother, his lovely wife and young son, his teachers and staff, and fled cowardly.

The father, emperor and brother were dead, the crown princess committed suicide, and her parents and children were killed. If there were not only the crown prince and side concubine Tang in the East Palace, more innocent people might have been hurt.

How could Lou Bing not feel sad or blame himself?

Especially after discovering Tang Cheng's wolfish ambitions, he became even more depressed.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, because of Tang's meritorious service, he made her a noble concubine.

Lou Bing concealed the sternness in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Let the concubine come in."

Lou Yu got up at the right time: "The minister will leave."

The door of the royal study opened.

Lou Yu met Tang Shi face to face.

Tang's face is delicate and beautiful, with a smile on his face, holding a food box in his hand.

When I met Lou Yu, I greeted him gracefully.

Lou Yu returned a salute.

The scarlet door closed behind her.

Lou Yu vaguely heard the woman's coquettish voice from inside, mixed with Lou Bing's coughing.

Lou Yu lowered his eyes in thought, and after a while, walked out of the palace.

In the imperial study room, Concubine Tang, with slender hands, brought out a bowl of soup from a food box.

"Your Majesty, this is the soup made by the concubine himself, please taste it quickly."

The soup is rich in flavor and light in color, which suits Lou Bing's taste.

Lou Bing said lightly: "I ate a lot in the morning, I can't drink now."

"Your Majesty, the soup doesn't taste good when it's cold. I made it myself. If you can't drink it, can you just take a sip?"

Tang Guifei leaned on his shoulder, coaxing coquettishly.

Lou Bing only felt cold in his heart.

How much he loved Tang's coquettishness in the past, but now he hates Tang's ulterior motives.

"Your Majesty, this is tonic soup, which is good for your health." Concubine Tang Gui continued to persuade.

The depression in Lou Bing's heart became more intense, and a strong itchiness gushed out of his throat, and he coughed heart-piercingly.

Back at the hotel, Lou Yu ordered Anbu to secretly investigate Lou Bing's cough.

On December [-]th, King Dong'an returned to celebrate.

Driving from the hotel to the gate of the city, people will see you off along the way.

Although King Dong'an didn't have much time in the capital, the common people will remember all his actions after entering the capital.

They stood on both sides of the market, silently paying attention.

Huo Yan rode a horse and guarded beside the car, Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong accompanied him.

The lintel of the Huo family should have been honored by Huo Yan, but now that Huo Yan has given up, Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong have become the principals of the Huo family.

They are young, and their reputation is not obvious, so others don't care too much.

In addition to their "ineffectiveness" for Qin Wang, the court did not award rewards.

The Huo family's decline seems to be a foregone conclusion, even Tang Cheng has never paid attention to the two of them.

Therefore, they chose to go back to Gyeongju with them, no one cared.

The [-] Qing army escorted tens of thousands of remnants of the Holy Sect, and followed Dong'an King's car to Qingzhou.

The east is about to dawn, and the golden light is shining.

Because Lou Yu "had to" accept tens of thousands of evils, the imperial court collected a year's worth of food for Lou Yu.

The team traveled all the way and arrived at Laizhou Prefecture on December [-]st.

The magistrate of Laizhou has been replaced by Lu You.

Lu You personally led people to greet him, and when he saw Lou Yu driving, he knelt down and saluted excitedly.

Lou Yu's dignified voice came from the carriage.

"You don't need to be too polite, just get up."

After Lu You got up, his eyes showed reverence and he said: "My lord is tired from traveling and traveling, do you want to rest here for a day?"

Laizhou is now Lou Yu's fief, and the garrison is also taken over by the generals of the Qing Army. This place is considered safe, and Lou Yu still has some matters to explain to Lu You, so he decided to rest here for a day.

Lu You has prepared a quiet and elegant house for Lou Yu.

After resting for a while, Lou Yu summoned the generals to discuss matters.

"Now that I have arrived in Laizhou, I have decided to send the remnants of the Tiansheng Sect to various state capitals in batches, and let them participate in hard labor. During the hard labor, the military instructors in each state capital will give serious training."

From the beginning of building the army, Lou Yu never let go of ideological education.

Yang Ji'an is one of the best teachers in the Qing army, and everyone who has taken his class has a passion for Qingzhou and Prince Qing's son.

Therefore, Lou Yu asked him to train more teachers.

After several years of development, the number of qualified teachers in the Qing Army cannot be underestimated.

As long as recruits enter the camp, they cannot escape the "gentle" teaching of the teachers.

After taking charge of the Eight States, he deployed teachers to other state capitals to be responsible for the ideological education of the local garrisons.

It is really difficult to manage the remnants of the tens of thousands of days of the holy religion. If it were easy to manage, Tang Cheng would not give it to him generously.

When these people gather together, if they are not careful, there will be quite a storm.

This way, if Huo Yan, Li Shu and others hadn't been on guard, the team might not have been able to reach Laizhou so smoothly.

But the Qing army couldn't keep an eye on so many people all the time, they had to separate them.

Li Shudao: "The remnants we brought back totaled more than 7000 people. If they were distributed to Bazhou, there would be six to seven thousand people every week. It's not easy to manage."

There are not many garrisons in each state capital. Using 2000 people to control 7000 people is tantamount to nonsense.

Lou Yudao: "Gyeongju and Jizhou have the largest garrisons, each receiving 2000 troops, and the remaining six states are distributed on average, but only about [-]."

He wants to vigorously produce and build, and he needs a lot of labor. If these remnants can be subdued, it will definitely bring many benefits to Bazhou.

"Those who are more docile are assigned to seven states, and those who are violent stay in Gyeongju."

Everyone listened to the order and withdrew to rectify the remnants of the team.

Lou Yu called Lu You again and asked him about the progress of the project.

Lu Youhui reported: "My lord, most of the official roads from Qingzhou to Jizhou and Yizhou have been repaired and consolidated, and the road will only be paved in the spring of next year. The prefect of Huzhou Duanfu is carrying out the pilot work of the mulberry fish pond model. The Ministry of Agriculture is assisting Huzhou to build farmland. The dredging project in the Huzhou section of the river is nearing completion, and the dams are being strengthened.”

Everything is developing according to Lou Yu's plan.

In the past, there was a shortage of labor and the progress of the project was slow. Now that there are more than [-] people, Lou Yu decided to speed up.

He said: "Now the eight states are a whole, and the eight states must work together and advance hand in hand. I hope that no state will be left behind. Therefore, the road construction plan will expand from Jizhou and Yizhou to other state capitals."

Hearing this, Lu You felt heroic in his heart.

"Subordinates obey!"

However, he still reminded: "My lord, if all eight states are connected, I am afraid it will cost countless property."

Lou Yu said with a smile: "In the future, there will be an endless stream of business travelers from the eight states. As long as you walk on the official roads we laid, you must pay tolls."

The move is modeled after modern highway tolls.

"Toll?" Lu You was surprised.

Wouldn't this be a highwayman?

Lou Yu said: "The specific regulations will be discussed after the official road is laid."

"Yes."

Lu You suppressed his confusion and chose to believe in his lord.

On December [-], the remnants of Tiansheng Sect were divided into eight parts, one part stayed in Laizhou, and the six parts were escorted to the other six states by the Qing army, and the rest were driven back to celebrate with King Dong'an.

On December [-]th, Yang Guanghuai, Fan Yusheng, Lou Quan and other officials received the news, and they all greeted Lou Yu outside the new city of Gyeongju.

The people of Gyeongju also went out of the city to welcome them.

When King Dong'an's chariot appeared in the sky, outside Gyeongju New City, everyone was happy and smiling.

"King Dong'an is back!"

I don't know who yelled, and the crowd danced with joy and applauded incessantly.

Their king has finally returned home.
