In Linshuo Palace.

Zhou Zhou strode to the hall and kowtowed to Li Chongjiu, "I am so embarrassed to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

When Li Chongjiu saw this, he nodded and said, "Let's flat, and give him a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Chongjiu asked: "How is Liaodong County's recent situation?"

Zhou Zhou said: "Report to Your Majesty, since Your Majesty defeated Pyongyang and captured Gao Jianwu, our great Zhao was intimidating Liaodong. All the barbarians from all directions were subdued. Originally, the border of the Liao River, they were attached to the Michelin and Khitan tribes, and now they defected through the Liao River, ranging from a few hundred to a thousand every day. In the past three months, we have hosted 50,000 Michelin and Khitan tribes."

Li Chongjiu said: "This is very good. We should treat the people who are in the liaison with us, so that they can benefit and live a stable life. Naturally, we will join our Khitan. The two divisions of Marine will become more and more. The Goguryeo trend will gradually weaken."

Zhou Zhou bowed and said, "I understand that I asked the commander to suddenly catch the ground and directly incorporated the Marine into the Marine in western Liaoning, while the Khitan people were digested by our Da Zhao himself. Among these 50,000 people, twenty thousand strong, as long as your Majesty gave the order, you can attack the Liao River at any time and launch an offensive against Goguryeo."

Li Chongjiu said: "No need to worry about this for the time being. Our army is concentrated in the south, and the north is still stable."

Zhou Zhou said: "Your Majesty, I have been spying on the military situation of Goguryeo in recent years. I heard from a leader of the Marine who defected to my Great Zhao that Yuan Gaisuwen has always led his army back to Pyongyang to compete for the throne of Goguryeo. However, due to the difficulties that our Songmo Protectorate's Mansion, tens of thousands of elite troops were stationed in Wuhuan and Bailang City, he did not dare to move lightly."

"I have a plan to negotiate with Yuen Gaisuwen of Liaodong City, and say that our Great Zhao supports him to return to Pyongyang and fight for the throne of Goguryeo. During this period, our Zhao army will not cross the Liao River. We attacked it, but we asked him to ced the five hundred miles of land near Gaimu City to me Zhao State."

Li Chongjiu heard this and said seriously: "This is a clever plan. In this way, our army can get a land of five hundred miles without a single soldier, and can also force Goguryeo to kill each other and kill two birds with one stone."

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Zhou and nodded, thinking that this person is really a talented person. He has managed Liaodong County in order in just half a year. He even heard that the other party convinced Zhou Bo to open a new voyage between Sanchahekou and Liaodong County.

Let Youjing's materials be traded continuously with Liaodong County by sea. In less than half a year, Zhou Zhou had applied to himself that he could set up another county at the entrance of the Liaodong County to facilitate management. Moreover, this time he ordered the two Khitans to attach Liaodong County to 50,000 people, which greatly enhanced the power of Liaodong County. His strong troops were to catch up with Songmo Protectorate.

It took only half a year, and Zhou Zhou only served as the governor of Liaodong County for half a year.

Li Chongjiu said secretly, "Your Zhou Aiqing has been in charge of Liaodong for me in the past six months. He has made great contributions. This time he defeated Goguryeo and collected 50,000 Khitans. You have made great contributions to the people of the Marine tribe. I don't know how to reward you."

Zhou Zhou stood up from the chair and said, "Your Majesty, I am serving Your Majesty to show my ambitions. If it weren't for your Majesty's appreciation, Zhou Zhou would still be a minority in the countryside today. He is unknown."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Where is it, if you don't reward me for me, Isn't it a matter of asking outsiders to say that I am not sure about the reward and punishment?"

"Well, you have just been promoted to the county magistrate. If I promote your official position again, it will be criticized by the government and the people," Li Chongjiu said after careful consideration, "How about I give you a marriage?"

Zhou Zhou suddenly changed his expression and said, "Your Majesty, I have no idea of ​​getting a wife yet."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Don't refuse first, I will not treat you badly. You also know that my queen's mother's family is the Xiao family of Lanling. Empress Xiao has a niece who has just come to join her from Jiangnan. How about I intend to betroth him to you?"

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu carefully observed every expression on Zhou Zhou's face.

Zhou Zhou was at a loss after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I really never thought about getting married. The Xiao family of Lanling is a major family in Jiangnan. How can I be worthy of Wei Wei from a Hanwei?"

Li Chongjiu said angrily: "The Empress is the daughter of the emperor of the previous dynasty. When the Empress married me, she did not dislike me. You are my chief official, but you are afraid that the Xiao of Lanling would be dislike me. It would be a shame to say it. This reason is not OK."

Zhou Zhou lowered his head and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I really can't agree."

"Bastard," Li Chongjiu said furiously, "I have given you a good intention to marry you, but you don't appreciate it. I dare to reject my kindness. Don't think that you have my favor, and you can't do anything about it. I could praise you at the beginning, and today I can also let you fall to the end!"

Li Chongjiu said a lot of coldness in the palace, and Zhou Zhou's forehead sweat fell down, but he just knelt down in the palace but didn't say anything.

OK, I was still obsessed with this point. Li Chongjiu asked at this time, "Do you have someone you like if you insist on refusing so much?"

Zhou Zhou was shocked after hearing this, and whispered: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am a woman I like."

Li Chongjiu became even more angry when he heard this, but he said leniently: "So, it's your reason for love. You might as well say that person's name. You are my important minister. No matter which woman you are, I will find a way to fulfill it."

Zhou Zhou said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't know where the woman has gone now."

Li Chongjiu said in surprise: "How come he didn't know where he went?"

Zhou Zhou said: "I didn't say a few words to this woman, and I met her several times, but for some reason, since then, I have thought of her day and night. Now she doesn't know where she is. If I don't have an official position, I will find this girl no matter where I go to the ends of the world."

Li Chongjiu asked in a deep voice: "What is this girl's surname?"

Zhou Zhou said: "Your Majesty, this girl's surname is Qiao and Yuexin, and she was the daughter of the magistrate of Donglai County. She should be in Jiangnan now."

"You rejected my kindness just for this woman? You even don't want the official?"

Zhou Zhou lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, love is the most beloved, life and death are promised!"

Li Chongjiu's eyes were filled with cold light. At this time, the eunuch knew that he was not good and was about to run to the harem to invite the queen.

At this time, someone outside said, "Your Majesty heard the secret report from the Secretary."

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath after hearing this and said, "Zhou Zhou, you step down first, I will discuss this matter with you later."

After reading the secret memorial, Li Chongjiu said, "Immediately summon Lin Dangfeng, Ji Chuan and Zhang Xuansu to come."

In the harem, Yang Ehuang and Shi Deyun had already learned about the matter in the palace.

Shi Deyun smiled and said, "Zhou Zhou is really a man with personality this year, I'm a little curious."
