Chapter 16: Reunion
In July of the tenth year of Dongqing, Li Yuan, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, Shanxi, wrote to the imperial court and asked himself to lead 50,000 troops to the north to fight against the barbarians. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as this news came out, it suddenly fell into the water like a boulder, which really stirred up a thousand waves with a stone, and immediately caused the shock of all forces in the court.
The Li family in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the ancestors were originally born as bandits, and they were recruited by the imperial court more than 200 years ago. The Li family has taken over the post of Taiyuan General Army for generations, and after nearly two hundred years of accumulation, it seems that he is already the emperor of the soil in Shanxi. Today's Shanxi has gone through the efforts of the Li family for several generations, and in Li Yuan's generation, it has been managed by the Li family.
Jiangzhou, which was far away from the capital, also received a report from the imperial court a few days later, from which he learned the news that Li Yuan was about to send troops to the north.
After discussing with the Xie family during the day, Wang Shifu, the head of the Wang family, hurriedly summoned his staff and brought the news back to Ningde Courtyard overnight.
Mrs. Xie looked at the court newspaper that had just come out of her hand, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while.
This Li family was born recklessly, the most thief is difficult to change, but cunning, how can he send troops to help the court fight this time? Besides, others don't know, but it is very clear that they are waiting for several major families, and the Li family's family background is only fifty or sixty thousand horses. This time, Li Yuan dared to take 50,000 horses out, isn't he afraid that others will take advantage of this to occupy his nest?
Moreover, Shanxi is not as rich as the Jiangnan area, and if he wants to supply the grain, grass, military and other things needed for 50,000 people and horses in the frontier, he alone will not be able to support the Li family for long. I don't know if there are other wealthy families behind the Li family's dispatch of troops this time. If so, I don't know which families were involved, and they didn't get a trace of information in advance, which is a bit unusual.
Since the last incident of the Cui family, the collection of intelligence has been strengthened among the various wealthy families in Jiangnan. Under such circumstances, if there is someone behind the Li family to support them, it is impossible for them not to know about it at all. If there is no other person behind the Li family, how can he have such confidence just because he is just a Li family.
Mrs. Xie was a little puzzled for a moment, so she looked at her two sons.
"Mother, this time the Li family sent troops, I'm afraid everyone will have to look away." Master Wang's face was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he remembered the results of the analysis of the staff in the study in the afternoon.
This Li Yuan wants to step on the power of the imperial court and the various families in Jiangnan to ascend to the throne, and in such a situation, all parties in Jiangnan not only cannot make stumbling blocks, but also have to fully cooperate in some aspects, otherwise, if the war in front is lost, the people of the world will not care about the strange situation of the various forces in the court, and will only blame the families in Jiangnan for falling into the ground. When the time comes, it will lose the hearts of the people, and for the various families, the gains will outweigh the losses.
"Mother, do you know, my son has discussed with the staff in the house today, the Li family's dispatch of troops this time looks dangerous on the surface, but there are a lot of benefits behind it."
"The imperial court has issued an order and agreed to Li Yuan's request to set out on a certain day. He also decreed that Li Yuan was appointed as the generalissimo of Zhenbei, controlled the 150,000 troops of Jiuzhai in northern Xinjiang, and prepared 1 million taels of silver as military funds for the household department, and all the people and property in northern Xinjiang were fully owned by Li Yuan. ā
Mrs. Xie is worthy of being a human spirit for many years, and when she heard that the imperial court had allocated silver taels, she understood the strangeness. It seems that this Li family's plan is not small.
At this time, Master Wang's personal little servant Mingshu hurriedly ran into Ningde Courtyard.
"Mingshu, why did you come to the inner courtyard?"
"Mrs. Hui, the master, the son of the Li family in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Li Yuanche voted for a letter and wanted to meet Mrs. Tai."
The holy decree is that Li Yuan's expedition is imminent, as the only son of the Li family, how could Li Yuanche appear in Jiangzhou at this time?
"Mother wants to meet the Li family's boy." Two months ago, Master Wang had met Li Yuanche several times in Jiangzhou, and under Li Yuanche's special guidance, Master Wang had a very good impression of this young man.
"Please." Seeing that his mother nodded slightly, Master Wang instructed Mingshu.

Quanzhou, Wang's Courtyard.
Wang Jiqing once again received a peach blossom note. What is different from the past is that there is an extra line of small print on the peach blossom note this time.
"Farewell to Vulture Mountain, I haven't seen you for a few months, can you be okay? The meditation room has a fate, seven days later, ten miles of long pavilion, Che Zi should come to report. The place where the payment is still a strong and powerful "Che" word.
Wang Ji frowned lightly, it seems that the person behind the curtain is going to appear eventually. Judging by the tone on the letterhead, this person should be an old friend of his. It's just that I've only lived in Vulture Mountain for half a month, and I haven't met anyone.
Could it be him? Wang Ji thought lightly of the young man she had rescued the night before she left Vulture Mountain. Recalling that resolute and slightly indifferent face, Wang Xi was a little weak-hearted. I left in a hurry after the operation, and the other party was able to wake up from the coma, which had little to do with me. Now it seems that this person is afraid that he has come to repay the grace of saving his life. It's just that I feel a little ashamed of this life-saving grace.
Seven days later, early in the morning, Wang Ji only took Qianyu and Yang Lie, and the three of them came to the ten-mile long pavilion outside Quanzhou City.
"Miss, what are we doing here?" Asayu originally thought that the young lady had come to the city for an outing, but when she got out of the carriage and saw that there was no scenery here, she knew that she had misunderstood the meaning of the young lady before.
"Wait for someone." Wang Ji saw that it was very early at this time, and the other party was afraid that he had not yet arrived, so he asked Yang Lie and Qianyu to retreat, and picked up a medical book to read.
"No wonder your medical skills are so good, it turns out that you like to read medical books so much." Wang Xi raised her gaze when she heard this, and a tall and thin figure appeared in front of her at some point.
The person who came was dressed in black, with a tall posture, and a resolute face, which made him even more personable and extraordinary. It was the young man he rescued in the Vulture Temple.
"It's just a casual time, just an occasional flip." Wang Jiqing did not get up.
The man didn't care, and sat down across from the woman.
"Miss Wang Liu, officially introduce you, under Li Yuanche."
"Li Gongzi."
"Miss Six."
The two spoke at the same time, and looked up at each other at the same time.
"Li Gongzi is a guest from afar, please speak first."
"Sixth Miss, in the Eagle Mountain that day, thanks to Miss's skillful hand, I was able to survive. This time I came to Quanzhou to report the life-saving grace of the young lady. ā
"Li Gongzi was polite, and I did it that day. Li Gongzi can wake up, he is a good person. This life-saving grace is not to be discussed. ā
"How can this be, the ancients, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. Besides, Miss Six is a life-saving grace to me, how can I not repay it. ā
"Oh, then I don't know how Gongzi Li is going to repay him."
"The grace of saving lives should be promised by oneself."
What the? Rao is always calm, Wang Jiqing was also so shocked that she let go of the medical book in her hand.
