Came to Changle Palace, Li Yi was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, Xiao Lezi stood aside, talking with the concubine, some time ago, Xiao Lezi went home to save relatives, because his hometown is far away in Lingnan, this walk is more than two months, just returned to Fengjing yesterday.

Since two years ago, Li Mancang and Li Yi have been recognized as sisters and brothers, and Xiao Lezi has made great contributions to it, and has been favored by Li Yi, and has become his confidant eunuch in a few years.

"Niangniang, Li Gongzi is here."

Xiao Lezi saw Li Xun walking into the room, and whispered to Li Yi with a smile.

Li Xun laughed and said: "Little Lezi, when I go home, my complexion is becoming more and more vigorous, and it seems that I am in a very good mood!" ”

Xiao Lezi sighed: "I haven't been home for five or six years, and this time I returned to my hometown, my parents and brothers are in good health, and my life is also a lot of color, and the slave is very pleased." ”

Xiao Lezi's background is also very bitter, there are nine brothers and sisters in the family, he is the last, he was sent to Fengjing when he was eight years old, introduced by a eunuch in the same township, he entered the palace as a eunuch, it was originally a chore, it can only be said that he did not worry about eating and drinking, the accident five years ago, made him a hero recognized by Li Mancang and Li Yi's sister and brother, and since then he has been appreciated and favored by Li Yi, and now he is the eunuch in charge of the Shang Medicine Department, and his status has been greatly improved.

Li Xun said with a smile: "If you miss your family, you can take them to Fengjing, and I will arrange for them to eat and live." ”

Xiao Lezi thanked again and again, and was extremely moved in his heart, he knew that Li Xun was not joking, nor was he scolding him, he was just a slave by Li Yi's side, and Li Xun was Li Yi's own nephew.

Li Yi smiled and watched Li Xun and Xiao Lezi talking there, and did not interrupt them, for Li Xun's nephew, over the past few years, Li Yi has become more and more fond of it, and feels that although Li Xun has no academic studies, his appearance and temperament are average, but his personality is very free and approachable, very humane, in the palace This kind of deceitful place, these are extremely rare and rare.

Li Xun came to Li Yi and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, why did you call your nephew here?" ”

Li Yi put down the teacup in his hand and said with a light smile: "Have you heard about Jiangnan?" ”

"I've heard that the emperor's uncle is going to use troops against him, but I don't know whether it's true or not."

Li Xun whispered, and then told him about the encounter with Wang Zhong on the way here.

Li Yi nodded, and said lightly: "The emperor has indeed decided to use troops against Yingzhou, but the opinions of the courtiers are not unified, the emperor is coordinating and persuading, the emperor came to me at noon yesterday, I specially inquired, the seven ministers of the political hall have been persuaded by them, and their opinions are basically unified, and the day of sending troops is not far away." ”

"Auntie, you came to me today to talk about this? I don't have a job, what do these things have to do with me? ”

Li Xun touched his head, not understanding why his aunt was talking to him about these things.

Li Yi took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said lightly: "Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future, last time you ate at my place, you still remember what I said, your father is honest and not good at socializing with people, he can't count on it, and he is old, so enjoy wealth at home!" But dog, you're still young, can't you just eat and wait for death? ”

Li Xun's whole body was shocked, and he immediately understood Li Yi's intentions, his aunt wanted to take the opportunity of this military dispatch to involve herself, and use military merits to gain official power.

Li Xun stood up, bowed his hand, and said loudly: "How can a manly man live a mediocre life." The nephew also wanted to do something, and asked his aunt to give the nephew this opportunity. ”

Li Yi looked at Li Xun, with appreciation and joy in her eyes, what she wanted was Li Xun's attitude.

"You are my own nephew, you have ambitions in your heart, and you are self-righteous as an aunt."

Li Yi waved his hand, motioned for Li Xun to sit down, and then glanced around, Xiao Lezi immediately understood what he meant, waved his hand, and asked the eunuchs and palace maids around him to retreat.

When there were only three people left in the room, Li Yi, Li Xun and Xiao Lezi, Li Yi looked at Li Xun and said in a low voice: "The emperor has always hated the harem to do politics, so my aunt can't find a job for you clearly, I have dredged the Mu Gong, let him speak for you in front of the emperor, yesterday evening, Mu Gong sent someone to send a message, saying that this matter has been mentioned in front of the emperor, the emperor's attitude is not clear, neither in favor nor against, I guess later today, the emperor will come to me, discuss with me on this matter, I invite you to come, I just want to see your attitude and ambition, if you don't want to take risks in the army, my aunt will never force you, after all, you are the only seedling of our Li family now, if you have something, I am afraid that Mancang will hate me for the rest of my life. ”

Li Xun's blood just now had cooled down, and after Li Yi said this, his heart suddenly became nervous, this is a real war, and it is a death.

"Auntie, is it dangerous to send troops this time?"

"Look at your useless look!"

Li Yi glared at Li Xun, and then said: "I am a woman from a family of women and Taoist families, and I don't understand the specific war actions, but listening to the emperor's tone, this time the army should be nine out of ten, and it is easy, so I moved my mind to let you go to war with the army to obtain military merits." ”

After listening to his aunt's words, Li Xun's mind suddenly came alive, and there was no danger, and he could experience the real war scene, which was exciting to think about.

The two talked for a while, and a eunuch replied that the emperor Zhao Zhi had finished discussing with the ministers of the political hall, and might come to Changle Palace, so Li Xun said goodbye and left.

When I left the imperial city, I saw several officials standing at the door, one of them was a man of nearly fifty years old, with a burly figure and a resolute face, like a military general, walking back and forth there, with an anxious look on his face.

"Father-in-law An, do you know the person who walked around?"

Li Xun whispered to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little eunuch beside him, this person's surname is An, and he is also working in Changle Palace, a foreign minister like Li Xun, every time he enters and leaves the imperial city, there must be eunuchs around him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a supervision, although the imperial city is the place where the emperor works in the early dynasty and the political affairs hall, but the emperor's harem is also in it, but whenever the minister enters and leaves, there must be a eunuch to follow, so as not to go to the wrong place and spoil the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

"This person is a slave who knows it, but it is Huang Xu, the general of Anguo."

Li Xun nodded, it turned out that he was Huang Xun, Li Xun heard Zhao Xun talk about this person.

Huang Shi was born in the Huang family, a famous family in Hedong, the family has been in the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, good generals have come out in succession, his grandfather was once a scholar of the military department of the left minister in the Yizong Dynasty, and his father did the Lingnan Festival in the Pingzong era, and finally entered the worship of the prime minister, which can be described as a prominent moment.

Huang Qian has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is hard and studious, but he has a slow personality, and he is very stupid to put it simply, and he is always a few steps slower than others, so he is not loved by his father.

Huang Zhen was twenty-five years old, failed the imperial examination several times, and finally got the shade of his father's door, and was appointed as the captain of the Zhengbapin Xuanjie, and finally entered the official career.

In the ninth year of Tianming, Pingzong led an army of 300,000 to conquer Hebei, and the result was a big defeat, when the thirty-year-old Huang Xu, had been promoted to the general of Zuo Wuwei, and after leading five thousand to the death, he finally succeeded in escorting Pingzong back to Fengjing, so he made great contributions, and was named the Marquis of Nan Xie Founding County, and the general of Zuo Wuwei.

After Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne, he reused Huang Zhi quite a lot, in 20 years, Huang Zhi led the army to fight more than ten times, and had many military exploits, Cheng Ping for three years, Huang Zhi was named the general of Anguo, and was knighted as the founder of Nan Xie.

Interestingly, Huang Zhen led the army to fight more than ten times, and never had a big victory, but he never had a big defeat, but whenever he led the army to fight, it was either a small victory or a small defeat, so the world jokingly called him a mediocre general.
