Li Chongjiu looked at the crucian carp bones on the table, and then thought that the fish was caught by Zhou Zhou and Pingping, and his face showed a deep thoughtful look.

Li Chongjiu looked at Shi Deyun and asked, "How did Zhou Zhou and Pingping meet?"

Shi Deyun said: "Pingping told me that she was a little seasick these days, so I told her that it would be better to go to the deck to ventilate. Zhou Shenjun often came to fish on the deck when he was idle. Pingping saw it interesting, so he asked Zhou Shenjun to teach her fishing. Many people know this, but His Majesty has been paying attention to military and national affairs, but now he understands it."

Li Chongjiu knew what he knew when he heard this. He knew that Zhou Zhou liked fishing, but he was not sure if Zhou Zhou intended to be close to ordinary people.

Zhou Zhou knew this person, Lu Chongjiu. He was very talented, but he was also arrogant. When he was studying in the county school, he organized scholars to discuss the Qing Dynasty in the recruitment building, and criticized the government affairs during the county examination. Li Chongjiu failed, but later he felt sorry for his talent and asked him to go to Peking County to become a ninth-rank official.

However, even if Zhou Zhou became a small official, his ability is still very good. The county magistrate Zhou Bo has repeatedly reported this person in memorials. Zhou Zhou's mentor Zhou Xu also wrote a letter to Li Chongjiu to recommend this person, so that he should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu promoted him to join the army of the Navy and entrusted him with the important task of the Navy. The Zhao army's navy was able to reach its current scale and fight in the Yellow River. Zhou Zhou made great contributions. Li Chongjiu originally intended to promote Zhou Zhou for this reason, but Zhou Zhou had a feud with his superior county magistrate Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin impeached Zhou Zhou many times. After seeing Zhao Xin's memorial, officials in the Secretariat did not like Zhou Zhou very much. Even the censors in the court impeached Zhou Zhou without any action as ministers of Zhao State.

For Li Chongjiu, it is too irrelevant to whoever is right and wrong between Zhao Xin and Zhouzhou. As a monarch, he is too busy. It is just that Pingping is involved, and Li Chongjiu has to treat it carefully. Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that at the beginning of the year, Zhao Xin's father Zhao Heran also intended to let Zhao Xin marry Pingping as his wife and let Zhao Xin be the chief son-in-law of the Great Zhao Empire.

Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile, Zhao Xin and Zhou Zhou were classmates of county schools. Zhao Xin was the leader in the county examination, and Zhou Zhou failed and Zhao Xin rose to prominence in the officialdom. Today, he is the magistrate of a county magistrate of the fourth rank. He became the head of a county under 30 years old. Zhao Xin is young and promising. However, Zhou Zhou has been struggling for many years, but he is still an eighth rank army. The contrast between the two is really not small.

And are the two fighting again now? But if Zhou Zhou really had the intention to approach Pingping, Li Chongjiu might as well marry Pingping to Zhao Xin.

In the afternoon, Li Chongjiu did not need the guards to follow him and walked from the cabin to the top deck.

At this time, the sky was a little dark, and the imperial ship was flowing upwards. The turbid waves of the Yellow River hit the hull and swayed. Li Chongji's boat had already arrived at Banzhu Crossing, which was north of Xingyang City. Yang Guang built the Tongji Canal and led the Yellow River from Banzhu to Huai River. People also called this river the Yu River.

For the sake of elegance, Yang Guang planted willow trees on both sides of the riverside. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the locals called this Sui Dike. Now look on the boat. The pleasant scenery of the ancient willows on the shore under the sunset.

Li Chongjiu looked at the side of the boat, but saw that Zhou Zhou was still peaceful on the side of the deck. The two were very intimate. Almost side by shoulder, Zhou Zhou held a fishing rod in his hand and said to Pingping: "My fishing method is to fish without bait."

"Don't laugh first. You must be laughing at me like Jiang Taigong. How to fish without bait, but in fact there is a trick."

Pingping heard Zhou Zhou say this, gently stranded his hair that was blown away by the wind, smiled and shook his head at Zhou Zhou, indicating that he believed in him. Seeing Pingping's charming movement, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be surprised when Pingping had come out so beautifully.

Thinking of the time when he saved Pingping Ping in Hedong, Pingping was just a pale-faced and thin girl. She was born to be mute and unable to speak, which made her feel very inferior. Later, her mother unfortunately died in the protection battle of Huaihuang Town. Li Chongjiu felt sorry for him and adopted her as her adopted daughter.

At the beginning, it was just a moment of pity, but after years of love, Li Chongjiu saw that Pingping grew up and finally became a beautiful 28 girl. Just like every father, his heart was filled with joy. Li Chongjiu is now looking at Pingping's eyes and glances passing by Zhou Zhou from time to time. The innocent eyes were filled with a hint of ignorance. Li Chongjiu saw that Pingping's expression was mostly good at Zhou Zhou.

What does Zhou Zhou and Pingping mean? Pingping has been lonely since childhood, so he must not let her suffer any harm, otherwise I would be really sorry for her.

"It's good to see if you bend the fish hook like this. I learned it from a Jianghuai barbarian."

"Cough!" Li Chongjiu coughed lightly from a distance.

Pingping and Zhou Zhou suddenly heard the cough and both turned their heads. When they saw Li Chongjiu, they both showed unexpected expressions.

"I am going to see Your Majesty!" Zhou Zhou bowed first, and Pingping jumped to Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu patted his flat head and looked at Zhou Zhou and said, "Zhou Chanjun didn't expect that you can not only fish, but also got the true teachings of Jiang Taigong. The wishes will take the bait!"

Zhou Zhou heard Li Chongjiu say this: "I am afraid and don't understand what Your Majesty means."

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou and said, "Don't be afraid first. I have no other meaning. I have watched her grow up since I was a child and there is no difference from my biological daughter. Zhou Zhou, you can get along with Pingping, and I am happy, let alone Pingping has no friends since she was a child. I really like her to have someone who can get along with her."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are simple and simple, as if you are crystal clear crystal, and you can shine. I have never seen such a simple woman."

Pingping heard Zhou Zhou's words and smiled and tilted his head towards Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said to Pingping without saying a word: "I have something important to go to Zhou Zongjun to discuss, you go back to your room first."

He nodded obediently, smiled at Li Chongjiu, and then jumped back to the cabin.

Li Chongjiu said to Zhou Zhou: "Pingping's mother passed away early and she is mute again. I can't feel sorry for her the most."

Zhou Zhou said: "This is Your Majesty's love for licking the calf."

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou and said with a smile: "Zhou Zhou has been an official for several years, and his previous tough temper has disappeared."

Zhou Zhou heard Li Chongjiu say this: "Your Majesty, I am not without a straight temper, but I have understood it for a long time in the officialdom. Before you have no ability to change the many disadvantages of this world, you must accept him first."
