Part 2 40) Li Yiyang's Invitation (II)
A night of absurdity passed in a hurry, Bai Qi ushered in a new life, and since then he has a family, and the responsibility on his shoulders is also heavy. The newlywed Yan'er, the two of them are good at mixing oil with honey, not to mention him, just say that three days after the marriage, Bai Qi was lying on the bed wondering what Li Yiyang would have to say if he let him go, someone outside the door came to report, Li Yiyang sent people and carriages and horses, specially to pick himself and Qin Yushu into the palace.
When he entered the palace to see Li Yiyang, although he was Qin Yushu's godfather, Qin Yushu didn't dare to be sloppy, so he hurriedly got up and cleaned himself up first. Seeing that Bai Qi was still in a daze on the bed, Qin Yushu smiled and said, "Husband, the slave family is waiting for you to get up." Saying that, Qin Yushu was about to come up, and he stretched out his hand to scratch Bai Qi.
Bai Qi saw that Qin Yushu was dressed up more than Huajiao, and his heart was hot again, so he couldn't help but reach out and hug the beauty, making a gesture to kiss. Qin Yushu hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good man, don't mess up my clothes, and this lipstick you just applied."
Bai Qi stopped at this time, and Qin Yushu smiled again: "Good man, hurry up, the people sent by the godfather are waiting outside." ”
Bai Qi got up at this time, Qin Yushu served Bai Qi to dress properly, and brought a bronze mirror for Bai Qi to look at himself. Under Qin Yushu's careful dressing, it is clear in the bronze mirror that he is a good boy with a personable demeanor and a beautiful boy with an extraordinary temperament.
Qin Yushu looked at his elaborate work and said with a smile: "I regret it a little, I dressed my husband so handsomely, and I would enter the palace after a while, and the princess inside would be bad when she saw it." ”
Only then did Bai Qi remember that he still had no grudges with that Xue Crimson, so he didn't really want to make trouble in the palace of Hou Wei again, and hurriedly asked Qin Yushu: "This is reasonable, I will be more careful, but I don't know, how many princesses does this lord have?" ”
Qin Yushu was happy when he heard this, a relieved smile bloomed on his face, he stepped forward and snuggled up to Bai Qi, and said emotionally: "Good man, don't worry, godfather has two daughters, one is married early, and the other is only 8 years old." Speaking of this, Qin Yushu couldn't help but laugh.
Bai Qi was relieved when he heard this. Gossip aside, after the two of them packed up everything, they didn't even have time to eat early, so they got into the carriage and followed the people sent by Li Yiyang into the palace.
When he entered the palace, he followed a chamberlain for a long time, and entered a courtyard, only to see Li Yiyang and a concubine waiting for Bai Qi and Qin Yushu there.
The two stepped forward quickly, knelt down for Li Yiyang together, kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Meet the lord (godfather) and princess." ”
Li Yiyang laughed when he heard this: "Bai Qi, you are also my son-in-law now, shouldn't you change your words?" ”
Bai Qi smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Meet my godfather." ”
Li Yiyang smiled happily when he heard it: "Okay, good, when I first met you in Xizi Lake, I saw that you must be extraordinary, but I didn't expect that you are not only outstanding in literature, but also a leader in martial arts." It seems that I found a good son-in-law for Yushu. Come on, let's fight block by piece. ”
The two got up after hearing this, Qin Yushu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Speaking of my marriage with my husband, it is really thanks to my godfather who took me to the lake that day, which made my daughter's good deeds." Yushu is here, thank you godfather. Qin Yushu said and knelt down for Li Yiyang again. Seeing this, Li Yiyang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and quipped:
"Thank you to me, I don't need it, I remember that when I praised Bai Qi for being a good husband, some people said that it was not uncommon for Joe to be a good husband. Isn't it too late to thank you now? ”
Qin Yushu stomped his feet and smiled: "Godfather! You're making fun of me again. ”
Li Yiyang laughed again when he heard this, and Bai Qi also smiled. At that time, the concubine beside Li Yiyang interjected: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and asked me early to prepare for the morning and drink, saying that I want to have a good chat with Bai Qi, and I and Yushu have some daughter's affairs to talk about later, so I won't bother you." ”
Qin Yushu followed the princess down, Li Yiyang motioned for Bai Qi to sit down, and after the waiter added wine and then retreated, Li Yiyang said: "Bai Qi, Yushu is a good girl, although she has a hard background, she has always been very self-loving, and I have always regarded her as my own daughter." I tried to take her to the palace several times, but she refused, saying that she was afraid of affecting my reputation. What a sensible girl. Now that she has found her own Ruyi Langjun, I should rest assured, and I will entrust you with the responsibility of taking care of Yushu in the future. ”
Bai Qi heard this and hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, since I married Yushu, I will definitely treat her well and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Li Yiyang listened to it and said, "Okay, good, that's fine." I called you so early, you must not have eaten breakfast, maybe you haven't gotten up when my people arrive, have you? Saying that, Li Yiyang showed a knowing smile between men and said: "Man, I know that the newlywed is bitter for three days." ”
Bai Qi smiled when he heard this: "Godfather's expectations are not bad, these are a little tired." ”
Li Yiyang listened to Bai Qi's straightforward answer, and laughed even more: "I have a number, I have a number, come on, eat first, and then we'll talk about it." ”
Bai Qi accompanied Li Yiyang to finish breakfast, and when the waiter removed the wine and food and served it, Li Yiyang asked again: "Bai Qi, now that you are also a citizen of Hou Wei, do you have any plans for the future?" ”
Bai Qi's heart moved when he heard this, and he said that something was coming, and he hurriedly replied with a smile: "I don't have any plans for the time being, I'm used to being idle, just get by, and I don't have any special ideas." ”
Bai Qi had to leave a way back for himself between words, Li Yiyang obviously had the intention of soliciting himself, and now the trouble on Bai Qi's body was not completely cleaned, but he didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Li Yiyang.
Li Yiyang sighed when he heard this: "You are a person, you just don't care too much about fame and fortune, but it's a pity that you have a talent." Bai Qi didn't dare to answer when he heard it, knowing that he took it casually, Li Yiyang would definitely enter the court by himself, which was not the result that Bai Qi was willing to see.
Bai Qi was silent, and Li Yiyang didn't have a point, so he had to continue to sigh and said: "If today, there are many dangers, last time I heard your high arguments about the crisis situation in the Later Wei Dynasty, I thought about it for many days after I came back, and I think what you said makes sense, I came to you today, just to hear what good suggestions you have for dealing with this situation?" ”
Bai Qi heard that if he didn't say anything this time, Li Yiyang would not be able to save face, so he hurriedly said humbly: "Gao Jian doesn't dare to say it, but there is still a little bit of opinion." ”
Li Yiyang paused and said with interest: "Hurry up and talk about it." ”
Bai Qi paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then replied: "Today, Zhang Chu is the strongest, Northern Qin has been harassed by the Xiongnu and Tatars for many years, and its soldiers are fierce, but the national strength is really poor, the external map can't, and it's still okay to protect yourself." ”
Li Yiyang heard this beginning, felt interesting, nodded and motioned for Bai Qi to continue, Bai Qi said again: "Although Daqi does not accept Tatars, Zhang Chu and Xiongnu to the west of it are all tigers and wolves, and Daqi's territory is the land of four wars, and once it is attacked, it is actually the most dangerous. As for the Later Wei Dynasty, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River has a great river and a dangerous arch guard. It's a pity that the people's customs are weak and they don't pay attention to force......"
Speaking of this, Bai Qi looked at Li Yiyang hesitantly, Li Yiyang was listening, Jian Baiqi stopped, and hurriedly said: "You say, it's okay, you can say anything today." ”
Bai Qi then said: "It's a pity that the former lord of the country had a cowardly personality, and under the threat of force from Zhang Chu and Daqi, he signed the painful "Jiahe Covenant", and paid 600,000 tributes to the two countries every year, which greatly increased the burden on the country, and at the same time advocated the arrogance and power of the two countries. ”
When Li Yiyang heard this, he slapped the table and said, "Hmph! When Daqi and Zhang Chu jointly attacked, I was young, but I also tried to admonish my father to fight, but my father listened to the advice of the gluttonous ministers and left these humiliations. ”
Bai Qi was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that he had uncovered the scars in the past like this, I don't know if Li Yiyang would be angry? Fortunately, Li Yiyang quickly recovered and said: "I said it to myself, it's none of your business." Bai Qi, do you continue to say what to do now? ”
Bai Qi said again: "Now if Hou Wei wants to face the future invasion, the first thing is to build an elite sailor, the southern water network is crisscrossed, and if no sailor wants to invade, it can be said that it is more than the sky." Again, without a good sailor, there can be no effective defense. Second, in three to five years, we should train a strong army on the ground, not too many soldiers, and one of 350,000 will be enough, and the key is to have a high degree of mobility, so that once the enemy army breaks through the great river and natural danger, it can launch a fatal blow against the enemy army at the first time.
The above two points, Wei's national strength in the future, will not be visible in less than three years, the key is the talent with the troops, this must be cautious, the so-called soldiers are bearish, will be a nest of bears, this is the truth. As long as you use people properly and practice the law well, after three years, even if a foreign enemy comes to attack, it will be easy for him to come, and he will be embarrassed when he goes. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but increase his tone, Li Yiyang patted his thigh excitedly and said: "Sure enough, it is a good word of the world, much better than those ministers under me, those of them, after taking the money, they know that there are few people who are dedicated to the country." Always thinking about stealing peace. Hmph, the wolf was meant to eat sheep, and his appetite will only grow when he gets used to it. ”
Bai Qi was puzzled when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask Li Yiyang without permission, but fortunately, Li Yiyang explained himself: "This time Liu Qianli came to Houwei, he wanted us to add an extra 300,000 taels of tribute every year. Hum! It's a big breath, it's about to be doubled at once, and I'm not afraid to flash his tongue. Li Yiyang scolded indignantly.
Only then did Bai Qi understand that Liu Qianli's plot to Hou Wei was no wonder he was so arrogant. It seems that he taught him a lesson at the wedding, Li Yiyang was actually very happy to see it, no wonder he was so fond of himself.
"What do you mean, godfather?" Bai Qi asked tentatively. Li Yiyang smiled helplessly when he heard it:
"What else can I do? Isn't it a problem now? Now drag it with him. ”
Bai Qi smiled slightly and said: "I have a way to ensure that he is not accustomed to the soil and water, and he can't afford to get sick, and when the time comes, I see that he will not have the energy to ask for tribute, so we will send him back to Zhang Chu." ”
Li Yiyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What method?" Tell me about it. ”
Bai Qidao: "This person is lustful, the lord of the country can send him a few more beauties, there are more women, he will naturally lose energy, when the time comes, I am dispensing some good medicine, and I will ensure that he has no women and no joy every night, and after ten days and half a month, he will naturally not be able to get up." When the time comes, let the imperial doctor say that he is not adaptable. ”
In fact, Bai Qi knew in his heart that he had done something to Liu Qianli, as long as Liu Qianli was obsessed with women, and he would get some aphrodisiacs by himself, sooner or later Liu Qianli would have a tired attack of a dark injury, and even if he didn't die, he would only have half a life left. It's just that Bai Qi can't say it clearly in front of Li Yiyang, he only says that he used medicine to overturn Liu Qianli.
Li Yiyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is the best, Bai Qi, you have helped me a lot." Just do as you say, and I'll leave it to someone to do it when I get back. ”
After solving the big problem, Li Yiyang couldn't help but look at Bai Qi a few more times, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Alas! Bai Qi, if only you could help by my side. Saying that, Li Yiyang laughed at himself again: "It's a pity that my Hou Wei Temple is small, and I can't tolerate you, a great talent who cares about the rivers and lakes." ”
How could Bai Qi not understand Li Yiyang's hints, but he did not have the conditions to enter the court now, but he was not willing to block this road, once the world was in chaos in the future, he would come to Houwei to seek trouble, and with Li Yiyang's own strength, it would definitely help stabilize the situation in the world.
Bai Qi thought of this, "Godfather loves him too much, Bai Qi is terrified, and now Bai Qi has no intention of going to the opposition, but once he has something in the world, I will definitely come to Houwei to share my godfather's worries." ”
Li Yiyang listened to Bai Qi's promise, and was happy in his heart, although Bai Qi can't enter the court immediately, but with Qin Yushu's daughter, Bai Qi is also running for the time being, and he can find something at any time. Although he is not in the court, there is not much difference between him and the government and the opposition, and as for the chaos in the world in the future, Bai Qi will not run away.
Thinking happily, Li Yiyang laughed even more and said: "Okay, I won't force you, but if you want to shirk it again in the future, I can let Yushu clean you up." ”
Bai Qi smiled when he heard this, and was about to answer, Qin Yushu and the princess will come back, seeing that Li Yiyang was happy, the princess smiled from afar: What did the two of you say? So happy? ”
Li Yiyang was even happier when he saw them coming back, and said with a smile: "Talking to Bai Qi, the widow is in a good mood." As he spoke, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his body and handed it to Bai Qidao: "You take this piece of jade, if you want to see the widow in the future, take him to the palace gate to show the guards, and they will naturally let him go." ”
Of course, Bai Qi knew that this was Li Yiyang's great trust in him, so he hurriedly took it over and said, "Thank you, godfather." ”
"Since I'm here today, I'm going to have a good time with Yushu in the palace and take a look around." The princess also smiled and took the conversation.
Qin Yushu saw that Bai Qi was favored by Li Yiyang and the princess, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and pulled Bai Qi with an excited smile: "The scenery in this palace is really good, it should be fun." I regret it now, I regret that I didn't come to the palace earlier to play. ”
Everyone laughed together when they heard the words of the little daughter's family.
After a day in the palace, in the evening, Bai Qi and Qin Yushu returned to their new home. Bai Qi asked Qin Yushu to enter first, and he turned around and gave a silver ticket to the waiter and the coachman who sent him back, and said hard work, and then he was going to enter the house. Unexpectedly, when the porter saw Qin Yushu entering, he quietly handed over a note and said, "Someone brought it just now, saying that it was for the master to open it himself." ”
Bai Qi was suspicious in his heart, he had no other acquaintances in Hou Wei, who would bring it?
