"That's pretty much it! You also know that I am not so fond of war, and many times I am willing to accompany you to walk around and indulge in the beautiful scenery of the great rivers and mountains. was forced to lead the troops before, but he was supported there with the strength to avenge his father-in-law. It's also fortunate that you are by my side, otherwise I don't even know how I can survive! Li Jinhong thought about his state some time ago, and couldn't help but sigh.

"We are husband and wife, and we have been through the ups and downs together, and we have told me what to do. However, even if we want to let the eldest brother take charge of the military, it depends on whether the emperor agrees! With the emperor's scruples, it is so possible to reuse the eldest brother again? Du Xiqing said with a sigh.

Li Jinhong smiled and hugged Du Xiqing in his arms, and then said, "It's up to you, Madame!" You have a lot of chips in your hand to make the emperor make up his mind, yes! The second brother seems to have passed the examination for lifting people, and he will be able to participate in the scientific examination next year. Maybe you'll be able to smash this chip. The second brother will also benefit from this in the future, depending on whether you are reluctant to give it up! ”

Du Xiqing was very smart, and immediately understood what Li Jinhong was talking about. She thought for a moment, and then said: "I am naturally willing, not to mention that now that the dynasty has just stabilized, everything is waiting to be rebuilt, plus the previous drought, waterlogging and conquest, there are places that need money everywhere." And the treasury has already been tossed by the previous emperor to the point of being poor, and now is the time to take out that batch of treasures! Even if it weren't for our family and the eldest brother and second brother, I would hand over the treasure! ”

Li Jinhong knew that Du Xiqing thought so, and immediately said with a smile: "Then that's right, handing over the treasure to the people for the people is a great thing." And we can also live the peace we want and the future of the eldest brother and the second brother, why not? ”

However, after hearing this, Du Xiqing immediately frowned and said: "If the emperor is not as wise as he appears to be, but is suspicious and suppresses us because of this, then I won't lose more than I gain?" ”

"You, you, still haven't figured it out? If the emperor is really such a person, then don't we still have no borders? Take 10,000 steps back, if this is the case, tell the eldest brother not to lead the troops, and the second brother not to be an official, and it is also good for our family to return to the fairyland of the world to sit in the idle clouds and wild cranes. "Li Jinhong is like he has thought about everything.

"You're right, let's take a look at it tomorrow and see how it works." Du Xiqing yawned and said.

"Well, sleep! It's so late! Li Jinhong also replied, and then only the sound of two people breathing was heard in the room.

The next day. The couple discussed it for a while and came up with an idea. At this time, the emperor also sent someone to announce Li Jinhong's entry into the palace. After Li Jinhong packed up and dressed neatly, he left under Du Xiqing's gaze.

All the way in, when Li Jinhong, under the leadership of the great eunuch, happened to come to the door of the imperial study, he saw a beautiful woman standing at the door of the imperial study.

"Yo, isn't this a concubine? How could you be standing here! If you want to pass on the emperor, or the old slave will pass it on for you! As soon as the big eunuch who walked in front saw that it was the emperor's favorite concubine, he immediately smiled and hurriedly greeted him.

"The concubine has just arrived, and it is hard for the emperor to take care of everything, so she personally went to boil a pot of soup for the emperor. But the imperial study belongs to the important land, I don't want to go in as a woman, or bother my father-in-law to help me bring this heart! Mingzhu said empathetically.

Li Jinhong on the side was originally in the spirit of not seeing indecently, and after seeing a woman in costume, he didn't look elsewhere.

At this time, the emperor had already announced Li Jinhong's visit, and Li Jinhong hurriedly raised his head and walked towards the imperial study. Just the moment he looked up, he met Mingzhu's face, Li Jinhong sighed in his heart, and then there was no surprise on his face, and then he raised his feet and walked towards the imperial study.

Mingzhu glanced at Li Jinhong as if unintentionally, and then asked curiously: "Father-in-law, who is this person, he looks good, and he is also a young talent, I want to come to my family and have a cousin, I don't know if I can have this benefit to marry this adult!" ”

After hearing Mingzhu's words, the father-in-law immediately smiled and said, "Concubine Niangniang, you're too late!" This General Li was married a few months ago, and I heard that her wife's name is Du Xiqing. It's a country girl. But it is such a country woman, who actually has the courage and insight, followed her husband to the battlefield, and not long ago trained to suppress the women's army, and solved a conspiracy attack on the Tartars. ”

When Mingzhu heard this, she immediately laughed, and then said in a very regretful tone: "Hey, it seems that this concubine is really late!" This good thing has become someone else's! I won't disturb my father-in-law to serve the emperor, and my father-in-law will bother you! ”

As he spoke, he must have said that the basket containing the soup was put from the hand of a palace maid to the hand of the eunuch.

The eunuch's face was like a happy flower, and he immediately said again and again: "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family will definitely send this soup to the emperor by hand!" ”

Mingzhu nodded, and then left with his personal palace maid. At this time, no one saw the surprise and contemplation that flashed in Mingzhu's eyes.

When the eunuch went in with the soup, Li Jinhong and the emperor were actually sitting together drinking tea. Looking at the position where the two were seated, the eunuch saw at a glance the emperor's courtesy to this General Li, and immediately secretly included this General Li in the list that could not be offended.

"Hey, Dezhi, what's in your hand?" Originally, the eunuch planned to take down the soup and come back later, but he was seen by the sharp-eyed emperor.

At this time, Zihao carried the basket in, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old slave met the concubine Niangniang outside. Because she was worried about the emperor's body, the concubine Niangniang specially stewed soup for the emperor, so she asked the old slave to bring it in, and remember to remind the emperor to use some when he was in the hotel, so that his body would not be very tired! ”

The emperor smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Since it is a piece of the concubine's heart, then put it aside!" Remember to remind me later! ”

"Hey, I'm so tired! The old slave wrote it down! Dezhi replied happily, and then went down. R1152
