Chapter 373: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Qing's mansion is still in the old mansion of Xuanyifang, his former family members and servants are now living in more than half of the rooms, and his family and a few people brought from Anxi live in a compound in the back garden, which is also no way, Li Qing has offended too many people, and his family must implement the strictest protection.
When Li Qing returned to his house, it was already dark, the entire street was empty, there was no pedestrian, and Yang Guozhong's house opposite him, which had a long queue of vehicles in the past, was also dark at this time, and it had changed owners, and now it was the new house of Wei Jiansu, the military book, but Wei Jiansu had not had time to move.
Li Qing's pace began to speed up, he hadn't seen his family for nearly half a year, wife, daughter, son, Xiaoyu, and Li Jingyan, thinking of Li Jingyan, Li Qing's heart was excited, not for her, but for a pair of children born to her, Li Jingyan gave birth to a pair of twins after the autumn, it turned out to be a dragon and phoenix fetus, a boy and a girl, according to the curtain Er's letter, they all looked very much like themselves, which made Li Qing surprised and delighted, this is the gene of his Li family, his father is twins, I didn't expect that I had gone one step further, and it was actually a dragon and phoenix fetus.
Entering the gate of the mansion, there was no housekeeper to greet him, only two rows of sergeants stood straight, all the way in, and there was not a single maid or servant, or a group of soldiers patrolling crosswise, and by chance a few soldiers with strong crossbows suddenly appeared from a corner, which made Li Qing depressed, where is this still home, it is clearly a military camp.
All the way to the backyard. I barely saw a maid greet her, this is his wife Zhao Lai's personal maid, who has been with her for many years, so Li Qing also knows her, but she is not happy to see herself, and her face looks a little sad, Li Qingdi's heart tightened, don't have an accident at home.
"Qingju, is there something wrong at home? Why do you look like this! He looked back. Nervously asked, "What about Madame!" Why didn't she come and pick me up? ”
"Childe! You're back, Sister Lian'er has been sick for three days. Li Qingyi looked up, only to see Xiaoyu coming in a hurry, she is twenty-five years old this year, the astringent and beautiful Xiaoyu in the past has disappeared, she is now another beauty, tall and plump. There was always a lazy smile in her demeanor, but today she was very anxious, Sister Lian'er was just a cold, but after a few days, her illness gradually worsened, and she kept coughing. Occasionally, he coughed up blood. I invited a lot of famous doctors. Most people say that it is probably a problem in the lungs, caused by the cold.
Li Qing rarely saw Xiaoyu so anxious. He didn't want to ask any more. He spread his legs and ran into the house, and the door was not closed. Left a slit, from the crack in the door, I saw his daughter holding a small porcelain bowl, feeding her mother medicine spoonful by spoonful, seeing her daughter's weak and sensible back, Li Qing's nose couldn't help but sour, and his eyes gradually turned red.
Li Qing slowly pushed open the door, and his wife's thin and pale face appeared in front of him, she was lying on the bed, gently stroking her daughter's hair with one hand, and looking at her tenderly.
Suddenly, the mother and daughter looked back at the door together, only her husband and her father were standing at the door, with a smile on their faces, but tears were flashing in their eyes.
"Li Lang, you're finally back!" The curtain struggled to sit up, but the force was too strong, and she coughed into a ball, Li Tingyue stared at her father and cried until she cried, and hurriedly beat her mother on the back.
Li Qing felt a pain in her heart, picked up her daughter, sat next to her wife, and gently beat her back while pressing her cheek against her daughter's little face, and after a while, the curtain slowly stopped coughing, she smiled reluctantly, reached out to wipe the tears on her husband's face, and complained: "Look at you!" The dignified Tang Dynasty is in tears, and the soldiers outside know about it, don't you laugh at you? ”
Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile, unable to say a word, but at this time, Li Tingyue brought the medicine bowl to her father, "The medicine is almost cold, feed it to my mother!" ”
Li Qing took the small bowl and kissed his daughter on the face, "This is Daddy's good daughter, Daddy will not be separated from you in the future." ”
"Li Lang, don't promise easily, you can remember it every month!" The curtain patted her daughter's little face and asked her to go to sleep first, but Li Tingyue glanced at her father wistfully, obviously not wanting to go, Li Qing touched her little head and smiled: "Go!" What Daddy said this time is true, and he will not be separated from you again. ”
After getting her father's assurance again, Li Tingyue reluctantly went, as soon as her daughter left, the curtain suddenly changed as if she was a different person, she looked at Li Qing directly, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, crying sadly, "Li Lang, I may be dying, what should I do with the child!" ”
Li Qing hugged her tightly, shook his head firmly, and said, "No!" You have always been in good health, it may be that you fell ill when you went to Dawan to the army last winter, as long as you take care of it, you will never be fine, and you will try to ask as little as possible about the affairs of the house in the future, and hand it over to the geese and Xiaoyu, and you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”
Her husband's strong arms and firm words are undoubtedly the best medicine, the curtain crying gradually stopped, a smile appeared on her face, she simply lay in her husband's arms like a girl, and from time to time reached out to touch his beard, suddenly she remembered something, and said to Li Qing: "The wild goose has given birth to a child, you should give her a name, although she never mentions it, but a county lord in a dignified family, how can she be committed to being a concubine, and you can also think of it, I remember you once said that An Lushan has a second wife, and now you have great power, Who would dare to say anything about you for this little thing? ”
Li Qing nodded silently, this matter is indeed just a small matter for him now, but the son she gave birth to is involved in a big matter for himself, he put his wife to sleep, and let Xiaoyu wait on the side, then he said in the ear of the curtain: "I'll go and see the pair of twin brothers and sisters, and I'll come back to accompany you in the evening." ”
Curtain reluctantly took Li Qing's hand and said with a smile: "I have Xiaoyu to accompany me tonight, so you can stay on the side of the wild goose!" Come back tomorrow morning. ”
Li Qing nodded, and said a few more words to Xiaoyu, and then went, in fact, Li Jingyan lived aside. There are only two rooms apart
She didn't want to disturb Li Qing and the curtain, so she didn't come.
gave birth to two children at once, Li Jingyan obviously gained a lot of weight, but really had a little bit of the charm of the ladies in Tang paintings, seeing Li Qing, Li Jingyan was very happy, and urgently ordered the nurse to bring the child.
The two children are still in infancy, less than two months old. Sleeping sweetly, with a chubby ruddy face, Li Qing hugged one in one hand and looked at his pair of children lovingly.
"Li Lang, the girl's cry was loud and thick, but the boy was soft, and it was a little upside down." Li Jingyan saw that Li Qing liked these two children. A stone in her heart gradually fell to the ground, and she said again: "Girl, I named her Li Wan, this boy needs you to name him." ”
"It's called Li Yi!" Li Qing said lightly, he had already thought of this name when he was in Luoyang, he looked at Li Jingyan and repeated again: "It's called Li Yi." Yixing Ruifei's 'Yi'. ”
"Li Yi?" Li Jingyan read it twice. She suddenly reacted. "Li Lang, isn't this the name of the royal family?"
Li Qing nodded lightly. But he didn't go on. Li Jingyan saw that her husband's expression was a little solemn, thinking that he was worried about the curtain. She sat down beside Li Qing, leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, and comforted him: "We invited a lot of famous doctors, all of whom said that the eldest sister's disease is just difficult to break the root, and it will attack every autumn and winter, but it needs to be raised with good medicine, but it will not be bad, although the poor family is difficult to afford, but our family has a big business, this is not a problem, no matter how much you care about her on weekdays, the eldest sister is in a good mood, and there will be nothing wrong!" ”
"I know I won't be separated from you again!"
Li Qing smiled, gently lifted her chin, and kissed her on the lips, Li Jingyan was fascinated for a while, she stretched out her jade arm to wrap her arms around her husband's neck, and took the initiative to send the fragrant lips, Li Qing hugged her tightly and put out the light casually.
The night was dark, the family had fallen asleep, but Li Qing was lying at the head of the bed, looking at the roof with wide eyes, he couldn't sleep, he was thinking about a big thing, he had been thinking about it for more than ten days, although he had made up his mind, but how to speak to Li Jingyan, this was what gave him a headache.
Li Qing looked down at Li Jingyan, she was sleeping sweetly, a bundle of black hair covered her white porcelain-like face, Li Qing stretched out his hand to brush her hair away, stared at her for a moment, sighed lightly, turned over and got out of bed, slowly walked to the window, pushed the window open, and a fresh and chilly wind rushed in his face.
He looked up at the starry sky, from Tianbao three years into Beijing to today has been nearly ten years, he has finally come to this day step by step, the power is in hand, control the entire Tang Dynasty government, it is time for him to show his ambitions, although the rebellion of An Lushan has brought pain to hundreds of people, but it also gave the Tang Dynasty a heavy blow, the original deep-rooted major interest groups, have collapsed, crumbling, it is the time to carry out a series of reforms.
Li Qing has always believed that the root cause of the decline and destruction of the late Tang Dynasty and even the weakening of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years was the formation of the division of the feudal towns after the Anshi Rebellion, and the essence of the division of the feudal towns was actually the game between the local and the central power, and the fall of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and Qing dynasties were all the result of sharp contradictions between the local government and the imperial court.
Although the development and evolution of history has its own laws, he Li Qing only needs to dial it at the most critical point, and the history of China's gradual decline in later generations can be completely changed.
Now, he needs to hold absolute power for a long time for his reforms to be carried out.
Just when Li Qing was looking at the starry sky with a lot of thoughts, a pair of white arms wrapped around his waist, and then a soft body pressed against his back, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”
Li Qing didn't speak, he stared at the night sky, and said slowly after a while: "Isn't your eldest brother childless under his knees?" I'm going to pass Yi'er to him, would you? ”
"What did you say!" Li Jingyan was taken aback, her sleepiness disappeared, she turned to Li Qing, stared at him in disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to give my child to the eldest brother?" ”
Li Qing nodded solemnly, "I've been thinking about it for half a month, this matter is very important, it's definitely not child's play!" ”
"No way!" Li Jingyan shook his head desperately, "He is my child, even if he is my eldest brother, no one can take Yi'er away from me!" ”
"Shocking geese, things are not as bad as you think, you listen to me explain to you."
Li Qing grabbed her waist and sat at the head of the bed, and comforted her in a low voice: "Yi'er passed on to your eldest brother only in name, leaving this name in the records of the clan, so that he will naturally become the heir of King Ning, after a while, our whole family will move to King Ning's mansion, Yi'er is actually still by your side, and besides, your father has no grandson under his knees, which has been trapping him for many years, in this way, his grandson becomes his own grandson, isn't he ecstatic, and you have done your filial piety." ”
"This. Idle, unwilling to marry a wife and start a family, she also knows that her father has been troubled by the queen, although Li Qing's method is also feasible, but the child will no longer call her mother in the future, which makes her unacceptable, thinking of this, her eyes turned red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Li Lang, but he will not call me mother in the future, but aunt, how can I stand it, is there no other way?" ”
Li Qing still looked at the night sky with his hands down, his voice was desolate and unusually firm, "I know that this decision has wronged you, but in the near future, your son will become the lord of the Tang Dynasty and the Khan of the Tang Dynasty, and I will become his most loyal courtier!" ”
