"Queen Mother, the slave family doesn't want to marry so early."

The eldest princess of the Han Empire, Tianya, hugged Empress Dowager Xue's arm tightly and shook it vigorously from side to side.

Empress Dowager Xue sighed secretly, because she was an old woman, she and Li Dahe regarded Tianya as a pearl in their palms, and they had already made this dead girl so used to becoming famous.

"You're fourteen years old, and you can't talk about your in-laws, so you can't live in the palace for the rest of your life?" Empress Dowager Xue glared at Tianya angrily, eager to pull her over and beat her, but she was reluctant.

The sweet girl pouted her pink little mouth and said unhappily: "What's the good of marrying so early?" The eldest brother said that he doesn't mind raising a slave family for the rest of his life. ”

Empress Dowager Xue was angry, raised her index finger, poked it on Tianya's forehead, and said angrily: "That's your eldest brother who loves you, but you can't live in the palace for the rest of your life!" ”

Tianya was not happy anymore, pouted, and complained: "Queen Mother, the eldest brother has already said that when the slave family grows up, he will send a big house to the slave family to live in." ”

Empress Dowager Xue was both angry and funny, and the love of Dalang Li Zhongyi for his only sister was indeed extremely deep.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xue also loves her daughter, and she doesn't want to marry Tianya out of the palace too early.

But the problem is that the custom of society is that a woman should marry at fifteen. Tianya's virtual age is already fifteen, but she has not yet said that her mother-in-law's family has not been determined, and it is impossible for Empress Dowager Xue not to worry about it.

"Well, what kind of husband do you like?" Empress Dowager Xue didn't want to ask like this, but she was worried that her only daughter would suffer, so she still couldn't bear it after all.

"Queen Mother......" Sweet girl plunged into Empress Dowager Xue's arms, twisting the candy like an obsession.

Empress Dowager Xue knew that Tianya was shy. Also, her daughter's family is soft-skinned and embarrassed to talk about her own marriage.

"Dead girl, you're older, or do you like to be coquettish?" Empress Dowager Xue hugged her beloved daughter and couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

"Alas, how long has your eldest brother been leading the troops out?" Empress Dowager Xue was worried about Li Zhongyi's safety, and it was usually inconvenient to ask the ministers, so she could only talk to Tianya.

"Queen Mother, the eldest brother will be able to successfully defeat Shu and return safely." Tianya hugged Empress Dowager Xue's arm, thought about it, and said very seriously.

"Alas, having said that, however, there is no news from the south, alas......" Empress Dowager Xue sighed for a while.

Tianya rolled her eyes, her mind moved, and she said with a smile: "Queen Mother, I'll go to Zuo Ziguang and ask, he must know the news of the eldest brother." ”

Empress Dowager Xue was a little hesitant at first, but she couldn't stand her thoughts, so she acquiesced to Tianya's proposal.

Zuo Ziguang was not in the yamen of the Tiqi Division at this time, but sat with Li Yunxiao, the commander of the Nine Gates, and Li Yanqing, the secretary of the police temple, drinking and talking about things.

As long as Li Zhongyi left the capital, the three of them, plus the three envoys Huang Jingsheng and the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, Dahu, formed a hardcore five-person group for information exchange.

Today is another day of fixed gatherings, Zuo Ziguang, Li Yanqing and Li Yunxiao are all juniors, so they went to the agreed courtyard first as usual.

"Oh, this is the material you want for the Xingyang Zheng family, take it and take a look." Li Yanqing pushed a stack of materials to Zuo Ziguang's hand.

Li Yanqing holds the world's police power, and the level of information in various places and the wide range of intelligence sources are simply jaw-dropping.

However, Zuo Ziguang's Tiqi Division is not a vegetarian, and when it comes to digging up information, there is no equal.

One is broad and the other is deep, and they happen to form a complementary relationship with each other.

However, Li Yanqing and Zuo Ziguang both knew in their hearts that in addition to the need for complementary intelligence, their mutual surveillance of each other had also reached a pervasive level.

Objectively speaking, Li Yanqing and Zuo Ziguang are both Li Zhongyi's trusted henchmen.

However, it is impossible for the two of them to stay in the same position all the time, and it is inevitable that there will be a change of guard. Therefore, institutional power constraints are particularly important.

The Tai'a Sword can be used by the master to kill the enemy, or it can be used by the enemy to counter its master, and the necessary checks and balances are inevitable.

"Well, here's what you want." Zuo Ziguang also pushed a stack of materials in front of Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing took the material with a smile, opened it and took a closer look, but his face became extremely ugly.

Li Yunxiao obviously saw Li Yanqing's face turn dark, but as if he didn't see it, he picked up the small wine glass, took a sip, and sighed: "Good wine!" ”

Unlike Li Yanqing and Zuo Ziguang, the daily security problems in the Gyeonggi area are not Li Yunxiao's responsibility.

The so-called business is not about oneself, hang high. Li Yunxiao tasted wine and ate side dishes with peace of mind, happy and happy.

Zuo Ziguang read the materials given by Li Yanqing and couldn't help laughing. The Xingyang Zheng clan quietly sent people to infiltrate the capital, and secretly contacted several gate valve families on the blacklist of the Tiqi Division, which was ready to move!

Standing on Zuo Ziguang's position, objectively speaking, the land restriction order vigorously promoted by Li Zhongyi simply pushed the whole world's gate valve families to the opposite side of the imperial court, how bold is it?

The reason why the family gate lords did not gather to cause trouble was mainly because the military prestige of the imperial court officials and troops was in its heyday.

Since the rise of the Hechi army, Li Zhongyi has commanded the army to fight without a single defeat!

Even, even the Khitans, who were extremely frightened by the family lords, became Li Zhongyi's defeated generals, and Li Zhongyi recaptured Youyan Prefecture.

However, not daring to do it, and not wanting to do it, are actually two different concepts.

Li Zhongyi also knew very well in his heart that the family gate lords and big landlords were just temporarily dormant, and they were all waiting for a suitable time to do something.

Therefore, Zuo Ziguang's most important responsibility is to monitor the family's every move.

About half an hour later, Li Haodong Shi Ran came, and as soon as he entered the door, he arched his hand and said, "The little brother is late, and he will punish himself with three cups!" ”

Li Yanqing glanced at the modest and cautious Li Haodong, and couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that the little follower who followed him back then has now come out of now.

That year, when Li Yanqing took office as the secretary of military justice, Li Haodong was just an unknown petty officer.

Today, Li Haodong has become a military justice secretary and one of today's confidants.

Li Yunxiao stood up politely and said with a smile: "You are not late, we are early." ”

Li Haodong immediately gave up his hand and said with a smile: "As long as it's not too late, you can rest assured." He smiled politely, but his demeanor was very detached.

After Li Zhongyi left Beijing, Li Yunxiao was the general of the unified army who controlled the heavy troops of Gyeonggi, and it can be said that he had military power. And one of Li Haodong's most important responsibilities is to closely monitor the military, especially Li Yunxiao's every move.

Therefore, the relationship between Li Haodong and Li Yunxiao is just a face-saving relationship, and they have been secretly cheering in private.

After Li Haodong sat down, Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I heard, there is something wrong with you?" ”

Li Haodong smiled and said, "It's not a trouble, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Zuo Ziguang understood in his heart that there was also a relationship between Li Haodong and Li Yanqing to supervise and assist each other.

All this comes from Li Zhongyi's view, that is: power must be placed under each other's supervision, so as not to cause big problems!
