In the early morning of the second day, Li Zhongyi woke up slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Caijiao holding her cheeks, staring at him without blinking, looking very carefully.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhongyi felt a little strange in his heart, because he was still young, at this time in the past, Caijiao should still be dreaming of Zhou Gong, but he woke up so early today?

"Master, although the slave family didn't say anything, the slave family could see that she had something on her mind. Alas, over the years, my heartless Aya has continued to marry concubines, and even has to take a kabuki ......" Caijiao drooped her head and said listlessly, "Forget it, don't talk about it, in short, my mother is pitiful." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, Jin Zinan's snub to the Zheng family was not a matter of a day or two, it lasted for many years.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou, a woman should marry at the age of fifteen, and as long as she is over thirty years old, she belongs to the category of old age and decay.

Li follows the Zhou system, the Zheng family is already in her thirties, and it makes sense that Jin Zinan will not touch her again.

It's just that Jin Zinan didn't like the straightforward Caijiao very much when he was a child. People are not plants and trees, this interpersonal relationship is actually mutual, and the corresponding Caijiao does not have any good feelings for Jin Zinan.

"Well, although Lao Jin offered me a treasure......" Li Zhongyi pulled Caijiao over her cherry lips and pecked hard, then said slowly, "I also rewarded him with high-ranking officials." Hmph, this time many people played the chapter and wanted his life, if I hadn't stopped him, Lao Jin wouldn't have enough to cut off even if he had eight heads. ”

"Hmph, according to what the slave family said, it's better to cut it down, so as not to always hug those sassy fox spirits and anger the slave family." Caijiao's childlike words were unscrupulous, but Li Zhongyi's lay-up trick seemed to hit the cotton, and he suddenly lost his focus.

Dead Nizi, I don't know how to cooperate, Li Zhongyi bit into Caijiao's delicate and snow-white ear flesh a little stupidly, and counted her sullenly: "That's your kiss Aya, I really cut off his head, your mother can't cry to death?" ”

"No, my mother told me herself, I wish that old thing would die sooner." Caijiao's words made Li Zhongyi feel a lot.

If the Zheng family hadn't been heartbroken by Jin Zinan, they would never have said such heartless words in front of their daughter.

Since that's the case, hehe, Lao Jin, don't blame me for Lao Li's cruelty!

"Alas, how could you make such a fuss, alas, well, since that's the case, then it's better to let Lao Jin go to serve in front of the army first, and supervise the supply of grain and grass, right?" Li Zhongyi pretended to be very embarrassed, sighed and said, "Lao Jin lost the national capital, and he should be beheaded for ...... crime."

didn't wait for Li Zhongyi to finish speaking, Caijiao threw herself into her arms and shouted with a smile: "Okay, okay, he walks on the front foot, and I will support my mother on the back foot, and kill those fox spirits and sell them." ”

Li Zhongyi was stunned for a while, this little girl woke up early unprecedentedly, and she was worried about her father's housework.

"Master, do you think it's okay?" Caijiao hugged Li Zhongyi's neck tightly, twisted her small waist, and played coquettishly.

Li Zhongyi was naturally happy in his heart, but he didn't want to be so cheap Caijiao, so he deliberately embarrassed her with a shelf: "Alas, it's difficult to do......"

"Master, you are a slave." Caijiao was afraid that Li Zhongyi would not send her father out of Kaijing, and the rolling Sa Lai lit Li Zhongyi's flame.

"You serve the master comfortably first, and let's talk about Lao Jin." Li Zhongyi lay comfortably on the soft couch, squinting at Caijiao with ill intentions.

Caijiao has been educated by Li Zhongyi for many years, even if she is straightforward, how can she not understand a man's crooked thoughts?

"Master...... The slave will brush his teeth first, and then come to serve you comfortably ......" Caijiao thought of doing it, and immediately jumped off the soft couch, ran to the dressing room, and began to take care of the hot water that the maidservants had prepared for a long time.

Li Zhongyi is in the prime of life, and his body is very good, and the morning erection phenomenon is already relatively obvious, so that Caijiao is so unscrupulous, where can she still hold back her thoughts?

Unlike the folded race flower, Li Zhongyi was reluctant to pick the colorful melon stamen, until he was very satisfied with the education, and then swallowed it whole.

How to say it, the success of the cultivation plan allowed Li Zhongyi to do whatever he wanted to "bully" Caijiao. Until, this little girl collapsed on the bed, except for a few breaths, she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids.

Fortunately, this is Kaifeng City, where there is no need to go to court every day, and there is a shrewd and capable Han Xianglan in the study to help write abridgements, which allows Li Zhongyi to work and steal joy, and he can do both.

Previously, Li Zhongyi had solemnly instructed Han Xianglan that as long as there was an urgent military or government affairs with chicken feathers, there must not be the slightest delay, and it must be delivered to him in person immediately.

After all, Li Zhongyi is the soul of modern people, and he has been wandering between the top power circles and the medical world for a long time, and he knows that if he wants to improve office efficiency, it is only the so-called early dynasty of the superficial article, but in fact, it is useless except to show the majesty of imperial power.

There are many affairs in the world, and Li Zhongyi is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible to deal with all miscellaneous matters, so it is necessary to adopt a power structure that is both decentralized and centralized.

Specifically, Li Zhongyi's control of military power was particularly tight, and the power to appoint and dismiss personnel at and above the top level in the army was firmly in his hands.

According to the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one capital has jurisdiction over two teams, and one team has more than 50 people, which is just similar to the company-level units in later generations.

Since Li Zhongyi concurrently serves as the commander of the four guards of Yulin, the army he currently controls is exactly in line with the three-compartment system.

One has jurisdiction over 10 armies, one army has jurisdiction over 5 battalions, and one battalion has jurisdiction over 5 capitals.

However, at present, there are more than 8,000 soldiers and horses in Goryeo alone, and then from the five field armies of Yang Lie to Song Yunxiang, all the way to the cavalry battalion of quite Chaoyong (Li Yong), the whole army has 70,000 soldiers, not to mention some soldiers.

Among the 70,000 people, there were more than 1,400 townsmen and deputy townsmen, as well as the heads and deputy heads, and the promotions and demotion of these grass-roots company-level officers and their superiors were all pinched in the palm of Li Zhongyi's hands.

In view of the rapid changes in the war ahead, in this era when there were no telegraphs and telephones, Li Zhongyi would inevitably have something beyond his reach. Therefore, based on practical considerations, Li Zhongyi granted the front-line commander the real power to temporarily appoint the head of the inspection school.

After the war, if the officers above the rank of the corps wanted to become regulars, they had to go to the military lecture hall to study for further study, and only after passing a strict assessment could they be formally promoted.

The rotational training system of the Jiangwutang has given Li Zhongyi an excellent opportunity to observe the grassroots officers at close range, and he has been concurrently serving as the head of the Jiangwutang so far, and he will definitely continue to serve as a concurrently in the foreseeable future, and there is absolutely no possibility of resigning on his own initiative.

"Master, the slave is really sore from her back, and she can't wait for you to get up......" Caijiao easily accumulated a little strength, and in just one sentence, it was completely consumed.

Li Zhongyi raised his hand and pinched Caijiao's flushed pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "I like to listen to the pleasant sound of your cat's **, but it is even more beautiful if it is louder." ”

Although Caijiao has been educated for a long time, she is still ridiculed by Li Zhongyi for being shy, she simply buried her whole body in the warm brocade quilt, no matter how Li Zhongyi teased her, she just wanted to pretend to be an ostrich.

has nothing to do, tease his own girls, Li Zhongyi can also be regarded as an expert who knows how to combine work and rest.

It's just that the heavens are not beautiful, and before Li Zhongyi finished washing up, he received bad news from Han Xianglan.

"Master, according to the secret report of the sailor, Zhang Yongde has been traveling day and night, and has now arrived outside the mouth of the Licheng River." Han Xianglan took the abridgement in her hand and carefully handed it to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi put down the chopsticks in his hand, reached out and took the excerpt, studied it for a while, and suddenly looked up and asked Han Xianglan: "Do you think Zhang Yongde came so quickly, what is the matter?" ”

Han Xianglan suddenly had a short brain, looked at Li Zhongyi stupidly, and snorted her lips, not knowing where to start. Because, Li Zhongyi only read the abridgements she wrote before, and never asked her opinion.

Li Zhongyi deliberately did not ask Han Xianglan to give her time to understand the significance of today's question.

As Li Zhongyi's career continues to grow, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to be comprehensive, which requires a trustworthy secretary team to help deal with military affairs.

The control of power has a fixed logic, and the mutual restraint of the inner court and the outer court is actually indispensable.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, who had not undergone any training in governance, came to power, and the first and biggest stupid thing he did was to listen to the deception of the Donglin Party and kill the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong!

In fact, after killing the nine-thousand-year-old old Wei, if Emperor Chongzhen supported the cronies and eunuchs around him to take over the real power of the ceremonial supervisor and the factory guard, he would never let the Donglin Party dominate.

After the Donglin Party became dominant, in addition to the fact that the party was at odds with each other and repeatedly abolished the public for private purposes, land annexation also intensified, and the direct consequence was that the state's financial revenue was decreasing day by day, while the Donglin Party members were very fat.

Since then, the state affairs have been out of control, and they have fallen into a cycle of no money to fight, tax increases, the civilian clique led by the Donglin Party passing on the burden to the homesteaders, the homesteaders going bankrupt, the people living in poverty, and the continuous uprisings of the displaced people.

According to Li Zhongyi's vision, the inner study, which has no interests with the outside world, can allow him to avoid various traps of the elite class in many cases.

Even if Han Xianglan has a biological son in the future, as long as Li Zhongyi adheres to the secret establishment and storage system, so that all of his sons have hope, but does not find out who will succeed him, then Han Xianglan must always stand on the same front with Li Zhongyi regardless of whether he is public or private, and it is impossible to betray.

This so-called high place is not cold, lonely (I), that is, lonely!

Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup and blew away the tea leaves floating on the liquid surface with a calm demeanor, Zhang Yongde must have bad intentions here, needless to say.

But the question is, what kind of surprise will Zhang Baoyi bring, this is the key to testing Han Xianglan, he has time to wait for Han Xianglan to answer.

"If you go back to your master, what the slave is most worried about is that Zhang Baoyi may have taken over our family's military power by edict." Han Xianglan is not an ordinary woman after all, not only did she quickly find the core point, but she also played a trick gun, deliberately not mentioning Li Zhongyi's military power, but our family's military power, which is particularly rich in meaning.

Our family, of course, also includes Han Xianglan herself, which is equivalent to telling Li Zhongyi that if Zhang Baoyi really plots against the military power of the Li family's army, Han Xianglan will definitely share the same hatred and stand firmly with her man.

Well, dealing with smart women is just comfortable, Han Xianglan is more than ten times more shrewd than Caijiao's little fool.

"Then tell me how to deal with it?" Li Zhongyi changed his hand and kicked the ball back into Han Xianglan's arms, he just wanted to see how far this shrewd and capable woman had grown after this period of study?

"Master, you are now strong and strong, and you are the first emperor's entrusted minister, although Zhang Yongde has different ambitions on this trip, the final result can only be the same as a slave, and he can only surrender to your feet." Han Xianglan squatted for half a blessing, with a serious demeanor piled up on her bright face, and in the autumn waves, she was extremely charming and playful, which made people feel excited.

"Haha, haha......" Li Zhongyi laughed heartily on his back, what a beautiful and intelligent study maid, and it was not in vain to subdue her hard work.

Li Zhongyi hooked his fingers, called Han Xianglan to his side, grabbed her snake waist, hugged her and sat between her knees, and said with a smile: "It's not okay to play tricks with the master, let's say, what does Zhang Yongde want to do?" ”

Han Xianglan felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, Li Zhongyi basically treated her mainly as coercion before, and rarely had a tender side. Now, he took the initiative to pull her to sit between his legs, which was the first time that the eldest girl had been on the sedan chair.

As a famous lady, Han Xianglan, as early as when she was in Youzhou, she was used to seeing her father Han Kuanghei, and Mingli respected her mother's main room, in fact, everyone up and down the Han house knew that Lao Han's favorite was the third lady.

Han Xianglan has long seen through the mentality of men, the more respectful a man is to his own women (ice), the farther away from his heart is actually there. If a man laughs and scolds in front of a woman, neither hiding nor tucking it, it proves one thing: the man has her in his heart.

Although Li Zhongyi is a lowly man from a lowly family, Han Xianglan knows better than anyone how many famous generals in the Central Plains can defeat the 40,000 elite iron cavalry of the Khitan head-on?

Li Wujiao, who is in the world, not only has more than 70,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, but is also the man who picked Han Xianglan's red pill. Han Xianglan knows better than anyone else that if she can't show her own talent and make Li Zhongyi look at her differently, she is afraid that she will die of old age in the deep house in the future.

Knowing that Li Zhongyi might adopt a strategy of both grace and power, Han Xianglan still felt happy for his willingness to get close.

A man who can only exert power or only show grace, Han Xianglan has a way to deal with it calmly, even if he is forced to bow his head for a while, it is impossible to really look down on it.

However, Li Zhongyi's method of beating a stick to give a candy made her uncomfortable and happy, but it was very useful.

"Master, Caijiao hasn't gotten up yet......" Han Xianglan wanted to get down to business, but when the words came to her lips, she involuntarily lost control.

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and the beautiful maid sitting between her legs was obviously eating the taste of Caijiao, uh-huh, this is a good thing!

As a member of the lowly men, Li Zhongyi also has a special alternative habit, and the women in the old Li family's back house will definitely be extremely annoying if they stick to him all day long.

But the problem is that if women treat Li Zhongyi as air, there are not many of him, and there are not many of him, it will also be very sad.

Like now, in order to snatch Li Zhongyi's favor, women eat a little jealousy from time to time and give each other some eye medicine or something, he actually enjoys this feeling more.

In the past, Li Zhongyi asked Han Xianglan to do some things that were more out of line, which was basically of a forced nature. Now, Han Xianglan is willing to let go of the so-called famous and noble girl and take the initiative to call herself a little woman, which is obviously a huge progress, which in turn proves the effectiveness of Li Zhongyi's envy and power.

The story of Wu Zetian who once tamed a fierce horse, she only needed three things, an iron whip, an iron hammer and a dagger, the connotation of which is self-evident: if you don't use it for me, you will kill it!

Li Zhongyi can't be so cold-blooded as Emperor Zetian Sage, but if Han Xianglan is still unwilling to be convinced, then there are many cold houses in the backyard of the old Li family that make her reflect.

Han Xianglan's willing submission made Li Zhongyi feel very comfortable, he stroked her shiny black hair, and quietly waited for her answer while sniffing the half-cooked fragrance that overflowed from her hair.

"Master, if the slave and maid answer correctly, will there be a reward?" Han Xianglan threw out a rather playful eye knife, which was both charming and wavelike, and really aroused Li Zhongyi's sexual interest.

"Haha, if you answer correctly, the master will be served by you today." Li Zhongyi happily hugged Han Xianglan's snake waist and gave him a hot kiss, but the claws of Lushan stretched into places that should not be deep.

What Han Xianglan is waiting for is Li Zhongyi's attitude, she has been abused by Li Daguan for so long, she can understand it, playing the so-called lady with a shelf, and she can't get a good job here at all in Li Zhongyi.

If I am not mistaken, Li Zhongyi once said to himself in the study: You can enter the hall, go down to the kitchen, and enter the cave room!

These twelve-character proverbs have been torn apart and pondered thoroughly, with Han Xianglan's wisdom, how can they not know the connotation?

In other words, Li Zhongyi's favorite type of woman: she is a versatile lady in front of people, and she is a bewitching lady on the couch!

"Master, in the shallow view of the slave maid, Zhang Bao is likely to take over the political and military affairs of the entire Goryeo Kingdom, but he does not dare to touch the military power that you have been holding in the palm of your hand. There are many Fan Xianggong in the imperial court, and he is by no means reckless, and he will only wait for you to return to Kaifeng, and then slowly weaken the military power. Han Xianglan didn't wait for Li Zhongyi's praise, and suddenly realized that the hand she was hiding was seen through by Li Zhongyi, so she had to hang her beautiful mantis head, rest her delicate chin on the man's shoulder socket, and added, "Empress Dowager Fu and Fan Xianggong are probably waiting for Zhang Baoyi to get the ironclad evidence that you are greedy for ink and misbehave in Goryeo." ”

Before Han Xianglan finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain suddenly hit her chest, and then she heard Li Zhongyi's laughter, "It is worthy of being a little fox spirit carefully raised by the master, and the master will reward you with a silver gun......"
