The news of the southern expedition spread throughout the city of Chengdu, and the people naturally showed a feeling of unhappiness and dissatisfaction, after all, for the people, they had different needs from those of the superiors, they longed for a stable life, and they were afraid and hated war!

Even if it's a battle to quell the chaos! They are not like the superiors who are able to get the benefits they want from the war.

With the passage of time, both the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the people gradually accepted Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, just because no one has been able to stop it so far!

In Shuzhong, in Chengdu, no one seemed to be able to stop Zhuge Liang's decision.

Just when Shuzhong was almost powerless to change and could only acquiesce to Zhuge Liang's decision to march south, Liu Chan ordered Li Yan to escort the money and grain to Yong'an this time and arrived at the Yong'an Protectorate.

Holding the holy decree in his hand, as time passed, Li Yan's hand couldn't stop trembling, and in the end, he directly slapped the holy decree on the table, and scolded angrily in his mouth: "Good you hateful Zhuge Liang!" It's so deceitful! ”

"Lord Duhu, what news has come from Shuzhong that has caused the adults to be so angry?" Liao Li didn't know the content of the holy decree, and he didn't hear any rumors, so he had to ask Li Yan with a puzzled face.

Li Yan's face was full of anger, and he said angrily: "It's not Zhuge Liang, I borrowed 30,000 soldiers and horses from my Yong'an before, but now it's good, and let Your Majesty order me to borrow money and food for the army to go out!" I really don't think of myself as an outsider, when did Yongan become his! I'll give him whatever I want! ”

While speaking, Li Yan also slapped the table angrily from time to time.

On the contrary, after Liao Li listened, he did not speak, but was thinking about something.

"Lord Duhu, what do you need for money and food for the army to go on the expedition? What is the march of the great army? Liao Li quickly grasped the key point, the reason for borrowing money and grain is for the army to go out, although Liao Li has lived in Yong'an for many years, but he also knows what is going on in Shu today, and he has long been tossed full of devastation, of course, this is just an exaggeration.

"It won't be ......" Liao Li was a little uncertain, speculating wantonly.

Li Yan was so angry that he didn't have time to care about Liao Li, so he just said: "The holy decree said that it was used by the army to conquer the south to quell the chaos!" ”

"What?!"

Liao Li was taken aback by the news, and shouted a little out of shape.

With a sneer, Li Yan continued: "You also think it's incredible? Is it true that when Li Yan is located in Yong'an, I don't know all the things in Shu? Judging from the current situation in Shuzhong, how can we launch a war to quell the chaos? This is obviously an excuse made up by Zhuge Liang to deliberately take money and food from my Yong'an, but this excuse is too fake! ”

At this time, Liao Li was still immersed in the news of the Southern Expedition, is it really as Lord Du Hu said, this is the reason why the Prime Minister wants money and food?

But after thinking about it, it's not right, if you really want money and food, then the prime minister will never use such an obvious lie as a reason! Is there something hidden in it?

Kong Ming is afraid that he doesn't know that not only the people of Chengdu can't understand his southern expedition, but even Liao Li, who is arranged in Yong'an, can't read the meaning of his move.

But fortunately, Liao Li is cautious, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, Liao Li will not act rashly, so as not to spoil the prime minister's major affairs, if the prime minister is in need, he will contact himself!

Sure enough, that night, someone sent a message, claiming that the prime minister's was indeed going to the south, and asked him to assist in persuading Li Yan to agree to provide money and food, and it was not enough to rely on a holy decree alone, although Li Yan would not refuse directly, but with his IQ, it was easy to find a few reasons to shirk tactfully.

After receiving the real news, Liao Li was stunned, this real news is not as convincing as the reason for Lord Duhu's conjecture, with the character of the prime minister, how could he do such a thing?

At this time, the southern expedition is too risky, and the preparation is not sufficient, Liao Li knows that the prime minister is the kind of person who seeks stability and makes a move after being fully prepared, which is diametrically opposed to his current actions.

In the Duhu Mansion, Li Yan is still approving official documents, although Li Yan is inevitably a little selfish in his actions at this time, but fortunately, his office ability is really strong and he is more diligent, otherwise Yong'an would not be so prosperous.

Outside the door, a woman in green, with a pink complexion, a tall figure, a delicate appearance, and an outstanding temperament, all reveal elegance and charm in every move.

The woman walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand, walked to Li Yan's side, gently put the decoction to the side, stood aside, waited, and did not open her mouth to disturb Li Yan.

It wasn't until Li Yan finished approving the last official document that he looked up and saw the person who came, and a smile of difficulty appeared on his face, which was still a little angry.

"Qingxiao, when did you come? I don't know if it's a father, it's like this for the father, and the reaction is slower! Li Yan said with a smile.

Qingxiao also smiled: "It didn't take long, but I just saw my father's fascination, and I didn't dare to disturb!" The ginseng soup is still hot, so let's drink it while it's hot! ”

"Haha, good! It's good to have a daughter, who knows how to be filial to her father, unlike your eldest brother, who knows how to be angry with me all day long! ”

"Big brother just has his own thoughts, he doesn't understand Dad's good intentions for a while, but he will understand in the future, but Dad should take care of his body more, and he must not be tired of his body!"

"Daddy will pay attention!"

Qingxiao knew that Li Yan was afraid that she didn't listen to it again, she had persuaded her many times, but she couldn't persuade her father Li Yan, Li Yan should still stay up late, should be tired or how to work, it will not change at all!

"If there are more courtiers like my father in Shu, Shu will be able to become strong quickly!" Qingxiao swore a solemn word.

In this regard, Li Yan just smiled and shook his head.

"Dad, are you unhappy? What's on your mind? ”

Li Yan waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of the court, a little upset!" ”

"Dad, is it Zhuge Liang again? Did he do it right with you again? ”

Nodding slightly, Li Yan said a little dullly: "There is a day when Zhuge Liang has him in Shu, and it will be difficult for me Li Yan to have a bright future!" ”

Seeing Li Yan like this, Qingxiao couldn't help but be depressed: "My daughter also wants to share her father's worries, but it's a pity that my daughter can't help her father!" ”

"It's good that you're so sensible, you don't have to worry about the rest!"

"But every day when I see my father so sad, my daughter feels uncomfortable, and my daughter wants to share some of it for her father!"

Qingxiao's repeated requests, not like a joke, Li Yan couldn't help but face it squarely, looking at his daughter who had grown up and was slim, a thought flashed in Li Yan's heart.

"Qingxiao, do you really want to help Dad?"

"My daughter naturally doesn't want her father to be so unhappy!"

Sighing lightly, Li Yan said: "Qingxiao, speaking of which, you can really help your father, but ......"

"But what's the matter? Dad, how can I help you? ”

With his eyes fixed on Qingxiao, Li Yan opened his mouth and asked, "Qingxiao, my father asked you, are you willing to enter the palace to marry Your Majesty?" ”
