In the entire strong Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of important ministers who can make Li Zhongyi feel at ease to his back.

Since the rise of the Hechi Army, Li Yunxiao has followed Li Zhongyi's left and right for more than ten years, and can be called the oldest group of ministers from the dragon.

Li Yunxiao has never lived up to Li Zhongyi's trust, he is the commander of the guards, and he is the chief manager of the old Li family.

At the beginning, when the Zhou family and Li Yunxiao got married, most of the Zhou family were opposed to this family business.

After all, the daughter of the Zhou family, who is a scholar and a scholar, actually wants to marry a vulgar military man from a hunter's background, or go to be the successor of the string, which is really insulting to the Zhou family!

However, Zhou has a different view. She believes that as far as Li Yunxiao was the head of the old Li family, his future future will definitely not be bad.

Sure enough, when Li Zhongyi purged the entire Wenchen Group with an iron fist, the Zhou family was not only not swept away by the political typhoon because of Li Yunxiao's secret protection, but even improved its status.

In this way, the original choice of the Zhou family has become an excellent means of marriage that the Zhou family talks about.

Li Yunxiao has two sons under her knees, the eldest son Li Changshan is 17 years old this year, and the second son Li Changhai is 15 years old this year. After Zhou married into the Li family, he regarded Li Yunxiao's two sons as his own and has always cared for them.

As a result, Li Yunxiao was relieved to put all the housework in the hands of the Zhou family.

Now, after the emperor left Beijing, the responsibility on Li Yunxiao's shoulders is really as heavy as Mount Tai, and the Zhou family is like an interpreter flower, and he said empathetically: "Official, since the emperor can trust you, you must not live up to the grace of the saint and take good care of your home." ”

Li Yunxiao felt like a bosom friend, and he sighed: "What Madame said is very true. The emperor has always regarded me as a sibling, how can I not guard the way back for the emperor? ”

Zhou smiled lightly and said, "The ninth day of the next month is the birthday of the concubine's father. ”

Li Yunxiao nodded without hesitation and said, "Since it is my father-in-law's birthday, not only do I have to go, but I should also prepare more generous gifts." So, take the string of eastern pearls that the emperor rewarded me, right? ”

"Official, that string of eastern pearls is an extremely valuable thing, and it was given by the emperor, how can it be easily given away?" In the face of Li Yunxiao's generosity, Zhou hesitated.

Li Yunxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "The emperor has never cared about these things outside his body, so it's okay." He knew Zhou's concerns.

The Zhou family is indeed a little worried, since it is a treasure rewarded by the emperor, it is always a little unsettling to give it away.

"These are the little things. Da Lang's age is not young, I plan to send him to the juvenile martial arts hall to study and practice martial arts, I don't know what Mrs. wants? Li Yunxiao's thoughts are very clear, their family belongs to the Jiangmen family, and his next generation will continue to be military generals, and supporting the young master is the right way to glorify the court.

"Outside the male lead, inside the female lead, as long as you make up your mind, the concubine has no reason." Zhou is an extremely intelligent and measured woman, and she speaks with reason.

Li Yunxiao laughed, took Zhou into his arms, and said with a smile while gently stroking her hair: "No wonder the emperor said that there is a good wife in the family, and it is a priceless treasure." It is a great blessing for a certain family to be able to marry you......"

Ren Erbai refines steel, and can also be turned into Rao Zhirou, Zhou is indeed a powerful woman!

The boat traveled overnight, and at noon on the second day, it successfully arrived at the military wharf outside Zhengzhou.

Zhengzhou Zhizhou Zhi Yuqing and Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses Governor Guo Xiaocheng, the two of them were side by side on the dock to welcome Li Zhongyi's arrival.

In the territory of today's Han Empire, in addition to the Beijing Kaifeng, Beijing Daimyofu, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and Xijing Luoyang, Zhengzhou at this time can be regarded as the sixth largest city in the country.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, the core economic zone of the entire Han people has gradually shifted from Chang'an to the plains in the east.

The reason for this is not complicated, the northwest region west of Tongguan, after thousands of years of agricultural development, the land has become increasingly barren.

In layman's terms, the grain produced on the land in the northwest can no longer support the lives of an overpopulation.

Since they could no longer live, the people of Shaanxi migrated eastward and came to the Yellow River valley in the Great Plains.

Li Zhongyi doesn't like to listen to official articles, and his favorite thing to do is to put on civilian clothes and go to the market in person to take a look.

"Knowing the affairs of Zhengzhou Military State, the ministers knocked on the emperor to see the emperor."

"The head of the Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses, the minister Guo Xiaocheng knocked to see the emperor."

"Everyone is their own person, so there is no need to be so polite." Li Zhongyi waved his hand and motioned for Yu Qing and Guo Xiaocheng to be exempt from courtesy.

Zhesaihua was named one of the eight concubines, and Zhe Yuqing is Zhesaihua's own brother, he can barely be regarded as the emperor's brother-in-law, and the relationship is naturally close.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have prepared a few catties of high-quality Shenzhou green tea...... "Thanks to the blessing of the flowers, the Yuqing also knows that Li Zhongyi likes to drink green tea.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "It's hard for you to work hard, so I will laugh at it." ”

A few catties of tea, no matter how rare it is, is it worth a few dollars?

Li Zhongyi naturally couldn't refute the face of Yuqing, the quasi-brother-in-law, and accepted the tea he sent with a smile.

Guo Xiaocheng is Guo Huai's only son, and Guo Huai is also the first important minister to be awarded the responsibility of the department since the Hechi military rejuvenation, and his qualifications are much higher than Li Yunxiao.

"Your Majesty, your right foot has been injured and you can't wear ordinary shoes. The minister made a pair of linen shoes with his own hands, and I don't know if they fit or not......"

Guo Xiaocheng's words moved Li Zhongyi greatly, and he couldn't help but smile.

Today's Li Zhongyi has a vast territory of the four seas, what kind of treasures and treasures cannot be obtained?

However, Guo Xiaocheng, who is a military general, actually made a pair of linen shoes for him with his own hands, this is not a courtesy and friendship, what is it?

"Hehe, it's rare that you have such filial piety, such a good gift, I must accept it." Li Zhongyi slapped Guo Xiaocheng on the shoulder, and everything was silent.

Zhi Fangqing secretly glanced at Guo Xiaocheng, and he secretly sighed in his heart, what a Guo Dalang who is neither visible nor dewy, but shows his loyalty clearly!

As the supreme in the world, Li Zhongyi is not short of money, land, and beauties. What he values very much must be the courageous loyalty of the courtiers who do not change money.

According to the old rules set by Li Zhongyi, there was no special palace for the emperor in Zhengzhou, and he once again lived directly in the governor's mansion of the capital of soldiers and horses, and used this place as a temporary palace.

After resting and freshening up in the palace, Li Zhongyi led Zhi Yuqing and Guo Xiaocheng, who were also wearing casual clothes, and walked to the street.
