Chapter 771: Ass Determines Thoughts
Although Zhao Zhi has always been distrustful of the generals, very strict precautions, but against the generals who have made meritorious contributions, they can still achieve fair rewards and punishments, after the battle of Jiangnan, Mao Anfu was promoted to a state that is very strong in terms of economy, population and territory, and was promoted to the general of the third grade.
This also shows that Mao Anfu had already entered Zhao Zhi's field of vision at that time, and his own ability was also valued by Zhao Zhi, as long as he redoubled his efforts, he would definitely be reused and promoted in the future.
Before Zhao Zhi employs people, especially for military generals, he must first sharpen his mind and observe his character, and then choose not to use it, which is a test and observation, but unfortunately, Mao Anfu is not patient enough, he can't see Zhao Zhi's intentions, and his official position has not changed for several years, but he may be transferred to the Lingnan border, and he has no backer, and his future in this life is hopeless.
"The coming and going of the whole thing does not only involve Mao Anfu, but the next big move and direction of the imperial court, and I am afraid that you have no ability to intervene in it."
"Moreover, Qian Mingdu and Li Zhongquan have already slandered in front of the emperor, saying that the lord has good thoughts about Zhao He and other rebellious people, and is disloyal to His Majesty, if the lord is implicated at this time, I am afraid that they will give them more excuses to attack and destroy."
Sima Tu admonished softly.
Li Xun was silent, he couldn't help but think of what Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, once said to himself, you said that you have never changed, if one day, there is a choice between power and friendship, you can really choose the good in your heart without hesitation?
Yes, people are selfish, and they all have selfish desires, they didn't have before, so you can have no reservations, now the right is so close to you, Li Xun can't deny that his mentality has indeed changed a little, there is a good saying, the ass determines the thought, Li Xun can't help but have some doubts at this time, what is his current pursuit and thoughts?
You Min finally left Jingwen and Jingfei behind, for this, Li Xun had already expected that his wife, from a famous family, she has her bearing and mind, and her character is also kind, but as a housemother, You Min also has her own principles and rules, which is her former wealthy family, leaving her a deep imprint, at this point, Li Xun did not interfere too much, including Li Mancang, too, and was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, I felt that You Min was taking care of the family, and set various rules and regulations, which has improved the style of the entire Li family a lot.
"Where's the old man?"
Li Xun took You Min's hand and asked softly.
You Min said: "I took Zhen'er out for a walk, maybe I won't come back later." β
Li Xun shook his head and sighed lightly, his father was also miserable, he used to take into account his feelings, although he was rich, but he did not continue the string, he was always single, until he met Shen Chunniang, this was sincere, but unfortunately the second spring did not last long, it was destroyed by a coup d'Γ©tat, Li Xun can fully imagine that the old man's current mood must be extremely depressed.
You Min held Li Xun's hand and said softly, "I have already asked people to pay attention everywhere, and if there is a suitable candidate, I will match it with my father." β
"You can do things at home."
Li Xun nodded, the old man was not yet fifty years old, and he was so single, and he couldn't bear to be a son.
"Cui'er, go and bring Mingyue over."
Li Xun gave an order to Cui'er on the side.
Cui'er answered.
Yu Min asked, "Where to go?" β
Li Xun smiled: "Back to your mother's house, I haven't visited Lord Taishan for some time." β
You Min nodded, and didn't ask much, Li Xun must have something to do when he went to You's house at this time.
After a while, Cui'er came with Mingyue in her arms, and Li Xun touched her daughter's face, causing Mingyue to giggle.
Li Xun took his wife and daughter, just a very ordinary time to go back to his parents' house, but You Mingyuan still asked his son You Shaotang to greet him outside the gate in person, the reason is very simple, Li Xun is not a wreck, and he is about to enter the political hall as a minister, such an identity and status, the You family will naturally not be slow.
"Brother-in-law, sister."
As soon as You Shaotang saw Li Xun, he immediately greeted him happily.
Li Xun said hello to You Shaotang with a smile, chatted a few words, and then everyone entered You's house together.
"Meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Father and mother are well."
When they arrived in the living room, You Mingyuan and his wife Wang sat there, and Li Xun and You Min stepped forward to salute.
You Mingyuan said with a smile: "We are all very good, there are no outsiders here, don't have so much etiquette." β
Li Xun smiled and took You Min to sit aside.
"Give me a hug."
You Mingyuan beckoned, and Cui'er hurriedly walked forward with the child in her arms.
You Mingyuan hugged Li Mingyue, pouted and kissed twice, Mingyue suddenly burst into laughter, stretched out two small hands, and pulled You Mingyuan's long beard.
Wang said to Li Xun at this time: "If you haven't come for so long, is it because our You family has offended your uncle." β
"If you go back to your parents' house often, it will make others think that You Min is often bullied in my Li family."
Li Xun said and laughed to himself.
Wang also smiled, and did not embarrass Li Xun too much, nor did he have the bitterness and meanness of the past.
The Wang family is also from a famous family, so her interests are very important, in the past, although Li Xun sat on one side, held the military power, no matter how big the official was, it was only in the locality, before the order of the world was not chaotic, the local festival envoy controlled by the imperial court, even if the power was great, he would never dare to promote and appoint his relatives, but now it is different, Li Xun is about to enter the political hall as the prime minister, such an existence can bring too many resources and benefits to the family, Even the Wang family may have a lot of places to seek Li Xun in the future, with this interest relationship and thoughts, the Wang family's attitude towards Li Xun and his wife is naturally much better.
You Mingyuan liked Mingyue very much, and said to Li Xun: "This child has a relationship with the old man. β
You Min said with a smile: "Every time Mingyue sees her father, she is very happy, very different from others, in this way, my father and Mingyue do have a fate." β
"Maybe it's the old man's enemy in his previous life."
You Mingyuan smiled and handed the child back to Cui'er, who took the child and stepped aside.
You Mingyuan looked at Li Xun and said lightly: "The old man is drinking and eating alone in the room, since you are here, let's have two drinks with his old man." β
Li Xun nodded, got up and bowed to You Mingyuan and Wang, and then walked away.
