() Li Yi's face was slightly red, so he had to nod and say, "By the arrangement of my mother's tribunal!" ”

Li Yinheng said with a smile: "Since Yi'er has a woman's fate, what does it matter if she marries a few more rooms?" I heard that the Yuan Zitong of the Yuan family has as many as twenty or thirty concubines in various places alone, and there are even more people in the capital than him. Hehe! It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, as long as they are really good to them. ”

Mrs. Liu glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "It's not necessarily common for men to have three wives and four concubines, right?" Duchess Yang Laoguo died without continuation, and my brother Mingjun has not married so far, let alone a group of wives and concubines, right? ”

Li Yinheng smiled: "Let's not talk about them first, I didn't do a bad job!" There are only you and Han Ji around, and there is nothing wrong with it, so it's always in the past! Hehe! ”

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "If it weren't for me and Han Ji being sisters, the two of them would have turned you upside down." Are you still in the mood to stay here? ”

Li Yi was funny in his heart, he hadn't said anything serious yet! These two first talked about it. Hehe! Speaking of that Uncle Liu Mingjun, it's not that he doesn't want to have a group of wives and concubines, but that he has a problem with his sexual orientation, and I'm afraid that only himself and Master Zhengyuan know the inside story of this!

At this time, Li Yinheng shook his head slightly and said, "Don't talk about this, let's get down to business!" Yi'er! I've heard rumors everywhere that you automatically asked Ying to go to the South China Sea to deal with the floods, don't you know that there is such a thing? ”

Li Yi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Father, the so-called automatic please Yingzhi!" In fact, to be honest, children don't have the guts yet. It's just that the emperor has repeatedly asked me to discuss the management of floods in the South China Sea, and has asked me several times to take on this important responsibility. ”

Although this matter is arduous and difficult, the child is for the sake of the people of Nanhai, and he does not dare to prevaricate and stay out of the matter. It's just that the matter has not been finalized, so the child did not dare to report to his father. ”

Li Yinheng let out an 'oh', pondered for a moment, and said, "For such a major matter, you should always talk to me." The responsibility of flood control in the South China Sea is huge, and it is beyond the responsibility of a scholar to bear it. If you can't perform in the end, delaying your future is a small matter, and the damage to your reputation is the most terrible. Alas! It seems that our father and son have a life separation! ”

Before Li Yi could speak, Mrs. Liu said from the side: "Yes! Yi'er, I heard that the South China Sea is a hundred miles in circumference, almost all of them have become a Ze country, and the common people don't even have a place to live, they don't have clothes, they can't eat enough, they have to control the water and save people, this burden is not light! Are you sure about that? ”

Li Yi nodded gloomily and said: "What parents teach is that the child just thinks of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, never thinks of the hardships in front of him, and does not consider the problem enough, but it is the child's fault that the parents are worried about the child." ”

It's just that the child already has some preliminary ideas in his heart, and he must always put them into practice, no matter what success or failure! Someone must be responsible for everything in the world. The child did not hesitate this time, never cared about his own safety, and did not hesitate to damage his reputation, only knowing that he was born after death. ”

"As for the fact that I haven't had a good parent, I just don't want the second elder to worry about me!"

After Li Yinheng heard Li Yi finish speaking, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas! If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for! A good man must be responsible, but I didn't expect Yi'er to have such fearless ambition and courage, how can he not be old and comforted for his father. Well! Just let it go and show your strength! With your outstanding achievements in Yunnan, I believe that you can also do some earth-shattering achievements in the South China Sea. ”

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "Alas! Yi'er, I don't know what to say, our women don't have much knowledge! But I also know that things are man-made. As long as someone does the affairs of the South China Sea, there will definitely be a change, and your father and I will spare no effort to support you. ”

"By the way, I've heard that there are a lot of bandits in the South China Sea, so you can't help but take precautions. I think in addition to Lian Jun, you need to bring more people to go so that you can be safe! ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "Mother, don't worry, this time the emperor has promised me to select 1,000 soldiers, 300 craftsmen, and people from the official government and military offices along the road for me to deploy, and most of the rogues are only 100 people, so they will not pose any threat to me." Please rest assured! ”

Li Yinheng nodded and said: "For such a huge project as the flood control in the South China Sea, we must focus on the big picture, start small, and be strict and meticulous in the key points, so as to control the situation and grasp the center of gravity. And you must not pay too much attention to the details, scatter the limited financial resources and energy, otherwise, it will only make you look forward and backward, left and right, and eventually lose the big because of the small. I wonder if you can understand my words? ”

Li Yi hurriedly replied: "What the father said hit the nail on the head, and it coincides with what the child thinks, and the son must keep it in mind, act according to the law, and achieve miraculous results." ”

Li Yinheng smiled and nodded: "The son can be taught!" Ha ha! Oh! With all that said, we haven't eaten yet! Let's go back and rest after dinner! ”

Early the next morning, after Li Yi finished exercising, he had breakfast, and asked Li Liang about the location of the Criminal Department's Punishment Division, only to learn that the six yamen were all on Nanyu Street, arranged from west to east in the order of rites, households, officials, soldiers, criminals, and workers. As long as you walk east along Nanyu Street, you will not be far from the intersection of Suzaku Street.

This time, Li Yi didn't let Lian Jun go with him, he rode slowly on a lion horse in the night, and arrived at the door of the yamen of the criminal department in the middle of the day, and after showing the waist card, the guards hurriedly invited Li Yi into the gate and pointed out the direction of the criminal department.

The Department of Prudent Criminal Justice is a separate cross-courtyard in the yamen of the Criminal Department, with three halls and more than a dozen corridors, and the area is very limited.

As soon as Li Yi stepped into the courtyard, he saw Zhong Youzhang wandering alone in the courtyard, and as soon as he saw Li Yi, he smiled and stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect that I would arrive as soon as I came to Runzhi, hehe!" I asked just now, we may have arrived a little early, and we still have more than half an hour to leave the hall! ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "If you come, you will be safe, let's find a place to sit down and wait with peace of mind!" ”

The two of them found a secluded small pavilion on the side of the courtyard and sat down, and Li Yi asked: "I don't know who the chief judges of the three divisions are, but I don't know in advance!" ”

Zhong Youzhang said: "I inquired yesterday, and the presiding judge was Tian Cheng Zhou Tian, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who had just been promoted from Zhaozhou Thorn Shi to the waiter of the Criminal Department for less than half a year, but I don't know what his temperament is. ”

"One of the deputy judges is Lord Lu Jianlu, the servant of the Imperial History Terrace, he is the same list of Jinshi of Lord Jian of the Jianwen Society, and he used to be Runzhi's old boss, and he has a good reputation inside and outside the court. And the other one is our old acquaintance, Liang Songliang, and the second brother. ”
