Chapter 247: Sleeping in That Room Tonight?
When Li Xuan sent people back, he only said that he would bring Liu Bagou and the craftsmen over, but did not say that they should also bring Empress Dowager Bai, Dong Yunyun, Ye and others.
But obviously, there is not only one person who can call the shots in this Tang Dynasty, but also the Empress Dowager Bai.
Without his own will, Liu Bagou categorically would not forcibly bring Empress Dowager Bai and others over, and only Empress Dowager Bai could make this decision.
It's just that Queen Mother Bai Why did she bring someone over, didn't she know that it was dangerous to fight outside? Although Huangzhushan is remote and difficult, its safety is guaranteed, and there is no need to run around.
With doubts, Li Xuan greeted him and first gave a big salute to the Empress Dowager Bai, or the kind of kneeling.
There is no way, although he is the emperor, but the Tang Dynasty prides itself on ruling the country with filial piety, and this filial piety cannot be left behind.
Seeing Li Xuan kneeling and saluting, Empress Dowager Bai has a lot of love for Li Xuan on weekdays, but at this time, she received a big gift, and then she came over to help Li Xuan up, and at the same time said: "My son get up quickly!" ”
At this time, Li Xuan stood up, and at this time, Liu Bagou, Dong Yunyun, Ye and others also saluted Li Xuan one after another.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Get up!" ”
Supporting the Empress Dowager Bai, Li Xuan also looked back at the team brought by Liu Bagou, the number of people in this team was different from what he expected, in addition to Liu Bagou, Empress Dowager Bai, Dong Yunyun and several main personnel of the Ye family, there were still more than 100 people, these more than 100 people were not all craftsmen, some were soldiers escorted along the way, and some were officials who stayed in Huangzhushan.
This Liu Bagou, could it be that the entire cabinet was moved over!
Immediately, he lowered his voice and said: "Queen Mother, why are you here, there are chaos outside, what if there is a mistake on the way!" ”
The Empress Dowager Bai didn't think about it and said, "What's wrong, didn't I bring your daughter-in-law over safely?" ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Li Xuan and continued: "You have been out for several months, and I heard the person you sent back in front of me say that you will not go back for a while, you are alone outside, I don't worry!" ”
Then he glanced at Dong Yunyun again, and then continued: "They are not at ease! ”
Hearing Empress Dowager Bai talk about herself, Dong Yunyun raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, Li Xuan could see the happy expression in her expression, and there was a hint of expectation in the joy.
Ye Shi also glanced at Li Xuan, but she quickly lowered her head, and her face was already obviously flushed.
Empress Dowager Bai said so, Li Xuan is naturally not good at continuing to say something, anyway, they are coming, so let's stay first, anyway, to put it bigger, they are in the army and in Huangzhu Mountain, the security is actually about the same, and even the security is even better.
Because if the new army of the Tang Dynasty is annihilated by the Ming army, the old nest of the Tang Dynasty, Huangzhushan, will not be any better, and will eventually be wiped out by the Ming army, and they will not be able to survive at that time.
If the new army of the Tang Dynasty is not annihilated by the Ming army, the safety of Huangzhushan can naturally be guaranteed, but if the army is not destroyed, it is just as safe to stay in the army.
Even if there is a rout, in the worst case, Li Xuan can still escape with the remnants and the Empress Dowager Bai, but it is a big deal to be a bandit, and it is much better to flee east and west than to wait for death in Huangzhu Mountain.
After the mother and son said a few more words, Li Xuan walked to Dong Yunyun and Ye's side, and said to the two at the same time: "You accompany you all the way, the queen mother is also tired when she comes!" ”
Dong Yunyun showed a graceful smile: "It's okay!" ”
And Ye shook his head directly: "Don't be tired!" ”
The answers of these two women are completely different, which fully represents their origins, Dong Yunyun was born in a scholarly family, this child is pampered, and there is no carriage and sedan chair to sit on when he goes out of the mountain, either on foot, or on horseback, donkey, mule and other livestock to walk.
Riding a horse is also very tiring, far less comfortable than a carriage or a sedan chair, looking at Dong Yunyun's expression, you can know that she must be tired along the way.
It's Ye's, she is a small jasper, although she hasn't been hungry since she was a child, but she is far from the point of taking a car or sedan chair when she goes out.
So her spirit looks much better than Dong Yunyun's.
Li Xuan nodded slightly at this time: "It's all hard work!" ”
Li Xuan didn't talk to Dong Yunyun and the Ye family much, and now this kind of occasion is not suitable for talking about some children's affection, and there are more important things waiting for him to do.
The more than 100 people who came with Liu Bagou had to be arranged, especially the craftsmen inside, who had to be allowed to quickly get into the working state, and then start making muskets and weapons on the spot.
In addition to these craftsmen who had experience in making muskets, Li Xuan had already prepared seventy or eighty craftsmen who had been looted everywhere during this time.
If the two are combined, the number of craftsmen here can reach a hundred, and in addition to these craftsmen, there are more than 200 ordinary young people who help them.
These people were all soldiers who had come to recruit the Datang New Army before, and they were unqualified because of their height, physical fitness, etc., but they wanted to join the Datang New Army, and they wanted to eat together, and they didn't go back, so Li Xuan simply let them act as workers in the weapons workshop.
Anyway, they are all honest peasant children, and they were rejected by the Datang New Army because their physical fitness and height did not meet the requirements, not that they were second-rate green-skinned hooligans.
This makes them ordinary workers, and maybe in a few months they will be able to get a batch of reservists.
Except for these craftsmen who need Li Xuan to watch, Li Xuan doesn't have much to worry about, and the other officials brought by Liu Bagou will naturally arrange it by themselves and don't have to worry about it.
However, it is not easy for Empress Dowager Bai and Dong Yunyun to arrange, Li Xuan rents a land temple by himself, the place is small, and to be honest, it is quite simple.
Let the Empress Dowager Bai and Dong Yunyun live with them, Li Xuan was a little unbearable, and wanted to requisition a landlord's house casually and arrange for the Empress Dowager Bai and them to live, but after hearing this, the Empress Dowager Bai said: "Let's live outside, the land temple is smaller, there is no need to live in Quicksand Village!" ”
Empress Dowager Bai was still worried when she spoke, and when she looked at her face, she almost didn't say directly: Without the protection of the army, the old lady will not live!
Li Xuan thought about it, for the sake of safety, he would never live in the quicksand village, he wanted to live in existence, so that he could escape at any time.
I don't live anymore, and I let the Empress Dowager Bai live, which seems a little bad!
After all, it is impossible for Li Xuan to lead the army to march into Liushazhuang because the Empress Dowager Bai and the others are living in Quicksand Village, that is not called filial piety, that is called stupidity.
Since the Empress Dowager Bai has said so, he doesn't plan to think about anything else, although the Land Temple is small, it also has three rooms, the Empress Dowager Bai lives in one, Dong Yunyun and the Ye family live in one each, and the other old mothers and maids set up tents next to the Land Temple to live temporarily.
And Li Xuan himself, without his own room, naturally had to go to Dong Yunyun or Ye's side when he slept this night.
It's just that tonight should I go to Dong Yunyun's or Ye's?
Li Xuan was a little hesitant about this!
