"If it weren't for our family's bad luck, I wouldn't have come to Jinan City this time, I'm unlucky, I must go to worship the Bodhisattva!"

The eunuch who sent the decree sat in the carriage and complained to the coachman, and sent the decree to the local military generals to adjust the defense, which was a bad errand of the first class, and the adjustment of the defense was equivalent to making trouble for the local military generals, so that they would leave their own territory where they were familiar with the road, and no one would give them a good look.

Giving a decree to this Li Meng, it is the worst of this bad errand, Zhendong General and Shandong General Li Meng are known as "Li Buhao" among these eunuchs and Jinyi guards who often deal with the outside.

The reason why it is so called is nothing more than that the dog that bites people does not bark, and it is a very vicious name.

In this world, the civil ministers and military generals, and the internal officials in the palace go out, and there are more or less ways to deal with each other, such as knowing the other party's preferences, or having the handle of the other party, even if they don't, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, the mountains and rivers take turns, and maybe there will be a goodbye day, after all, it is to save three points of face.

But this Li Meng is not in the Five Elements at all, jumping out of the Three Realms, it seems that he does not belong to the existence of common sense at all, dealing with this person, he is completely inaccurate, he can't figure out his joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows.

The internal officials are well-informed, and in addition to their own family members dealing with Li Meng in Shandong, there are also some courtiers' discussions, which are naturally combined to get this impression.

Coming to Jinan City to announce the decree is another order to adjust the defense, I really don't know what kind of trouble I will encounter.

As a result, when Wang Chengen arranged an errand below, none of the eunuchs on duty in the inner court were willing to go. shirked each other, and in the end, it was decided to play pai gow and roll the dice.

The eunuch who was sent was unlucky, and he was also a single. Along the way, he talked and laughed with several Jinyi guards who accompanied him, making his own jokes, and the Jinyi guards who were sitting next to the coachman heard the eunuch complaining, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Lao Xiao, you don't have to be afraid of being like this, how can you say that we are also Qincha, no matter how fierce he is, he can still eat us in Jinan, a little bit of a face and temper or something. Let's just put up with it, and it suddenly rains when we go out......"

A group of people rode horses, and those who made the chariots laughed along, and the eunuch who carried the decree laughed sharply:

"Brothers, when this errand is finished, go back to Beijing to drink together, and our family will be the east."

The people around him were all applauding, and the atmosphere was very high for a while.

Zhang Ruoqi, the director of the Ministry of War, came to Jinan City to inspect the treatment of soldiers and horses, and it was still widely spread among these lower-level officials and eunuchs, and it was indeed a headache to go to Jinan City.

But these people went to Shandong. It doesn't have to be the same as walking in Beizhili. Every night must stay in the city, otherwise bandits in the wilderness are rampant, even if there are dozens of people escorted by the brocade guards, they dare not say that it is safe, in Shandong, there are post stations along the way.

And walking on the official road, coming and going in addition to the patrol cavalry and horses, are pedestrians and merchants, along the way are farmers who are ploughing in the spring, look at the scene of Shandong, how is there the meaning of the peaceful year.

Zhang Ruoqi is such a scholar. I know what kind of folk scene there is, and I can't notice anything when I look at these, but the eunuchs and brocade guards sent out this time are all characters who are unhappy and eat cold rice, and they also have a hard time that day, and they know how the people below live.

Besides, they are no different from the people. Seeing Shandong's appearance was amazing. This Shandong and Beizhili are completely different worlds, and there are people in this Jinyi who have been to other provinces. I was also surprised to see this, saying that even those places in the south may not be so peaceful and quiet.

This difference makes these people even more worried, feeling that there is no way to judge the outcome of this errand and the treatment of the other party, and the closer they get to Jinan City, the more afraid they are. **They thought of Jinan City as if it was a Longtan Tiger**, I thought they would be locked out of the city for a few days, who thought of Jinan City, the little official who was responsible for the reception was still polite, and was invited into Jinan City on the first day of arrival, and arranged to live in a good inn, and the diet was also exquisite.

I haven't heard of anyone who has been treated so well in Jinan City, but today it is used on us, which makes people even more worried.

What is even more unexpected is that I thought that the decree would be a waste of words, who would have thought that on the first day I arrived in the city, I was invited to the Yamen of the general army on the second day, and put on the incense case and all kinds of necessary utensils, which was taken by Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong.

Li Meng's troops were transferred to Hengshui and Yizhou to garrison, and Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, received the order meticulously and respectfully in accordance with a full set of etiquette.

The more the eunuch Xiao read the decree, the quieter his voice became, and he always felt that this thing was very strange.

After Li Meng shouted "Thanks", he got up from the ground, and his own soldiers on the side took red envelopes and gold and silver and gave them to the past, which was considered a necessary regular money.

This appearance of doing things completely according to the rules made the cold sweat on Eunuch Xiao's body come down, and he thought that he would have to wait for something else, but he heard Li Meng speak:

"This father-in-law, when he returned to Beijing, he also had the trouble of submitting the excerpts, so that I would not have to send an urgent messenger here in Shandong."

After finishing speaking, he directly punched Yuan Wenhong behind him, and Yuan Wenhong, the chief bookkeeper of the Jiaozhou camp, hurriedly handed over the fold that had been prepared long ago to Eunuch Xiao, and Li Meng said indifferently:

"Li has been infected with the wind chill for a while, and the soldiers and generals below are also hungry, it is really difficult for the soldiers to adjust the defense, and it will take some time to deal with it, please return to Beijing to restore your life!"

Li Meng clearly said that he would delay and not move, but this eunuch Xiao and the brocade guards who came with him were relieved, otherwise this respectful and polite attitude was really chilling, and it was extremely ironic to say that this matter was extremely ironic, if the generals were not arrogant, if they came completely in accordance with the rules, these people from Jingshi would feel abnormal.

At present, Li Meng simply said that he could not be transferred for the time being. On the contrary, it made them feel that everything was back on track.

Jingshi said that he wanted to transfer troops, but Li Meng replied that he could not be mobilized for various reasons, and this matter was over. Receiving the order, playing, what Li Meng did was already save enough face for the court, everyone pinched their noses, and this matter was revealed.

Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, and even Liu Zeqing in that year, the imperial court transferred them to change the guard, and there were dozens of orders for the will and the documents of the military department.

These generals never listened. Liu Zeqing used reasons such as illness, falling from a horse, something at home, and even a strong wind blowing in Shandong, that is, if he did not move, the court had no choice but to approve it, withdraw the will, or supplement the order, which can be regarded as leaving some dignity for himself.

The adjustment of defense that Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said was just to see that Li Mengping, the chief soldier of Shandong, was low-key and honest, thinking that the other party would be obedient.

But he is obviously not as old as Zhou Yanru, and he is a low-key general. As long as the strength is not lost. The imperial court didn't have any way to take him, and the means of inspecting the soldiers and horses and promoting the deputy were all used on the other party, and they also expected that the other party would honestly and obediently change the station.

Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, was tepid and replied to the court in accordance with etiquette and procedures: Lao Tzu will not leave. The imperial court and the military department are completely helpless, the other party's army is stationed, can it be possible to send more officers and soldiers to expel it in the past, as for the neck with silver and the like, this is even more funny, you haven't given Li Meng's department a copper coin for nearly ten years, do you think the other party will still care about this military salary?

That Xiao Tai listened to Li Meng's grandiose explanation for not obeying the will. I didn't dare to say anything to refute it, but I just listened with a smile there, looking extremely respectful.

Governor Yan Jizu and Shandong General Li Meng left directly after receiving the order, and there was no need for them to stay in this place for longer.

Seeing that the team left the main hall where the order was received, only Eunuch Xiao and the escorted Jinyi guard were left in the room, and this Eunuch Xiao reached out and pulled off the placket of his back. Sighed. Self-deprecating:

"This errand is really difficult to do, and my back is soaked with cold sweat. But it's finally over, a few of our brothers hurry up and go back to Beijing, and stay in Shandong for one more day, our family feels uncomfortable. ”

Several brocade guards on the side were about to open their mouths to agree, but they all stopped in unison, and glanced at this Xiao eunuch again and again, and when Xiao eunuch looked back, Yuan Wenhong turned around and walked in.

Eunuch Xiao suddenly felt tight, thinking that the words just now, it would not be good if the other party heard them, but Yuan Wenhong didn't mention what he said just now, and said with a smile:

"Lord Qincha, you came this time, but it was a good time, my handsome family will take a concubine tomorrow, you came just to be invited as a guest, this time you didn't invite any foreign guests, but a few of you are just right."

As soon as he heard that there was such a good thing, Eunuch Xiao vaguely understood why he was treated so well along the way, participating in other people's happy events, good wine and good meat can't run, not to mention Li Meng's high status, he won't be rare for him to give him a red envelope gift, sure enough, Yuan Wenhong said with a smile:

"Red envelopes and gifts are free, my handsome man said, since he is here, it is fate, and there is a tea cart and horse money for you here."

Yes, there is wine and meat to eat, there is excitement to watch, and there is money to take, such a good thing, Eunuch Xiao and his party suddenly felt that the image of Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, suddenly became much more amiable, and it turned out to be a good person.

Yuan Wenhong said politely:

"Since it is a guest of my family, it is a little simple to live in the inn, my marshal instructed, I have prepared the best inn in Jinan City for you, you go there to rest!"

Good things are one after another, Eunuch Xiao These people are the little eunuchs from low backgrounds and the little colonel of Jinyiwei, after the will is transmitted, the errand is over, and there are such happy celebrations to participate, everyone is elated, and a group of people have no dignity, and they follow out with shouting.

Eunuch Xiao and Yuan Wenhong walked in the front, and the people behind them opened a distance, Yuan Wenhong lowered his voice slightly, and said with a smile:

"I heard that Gonggong Xiao once had a friendship with the old lady of our Shuai Mansion?"

The old lady of the Shuai Mansion is naturally the old eunuch Liu Fulai, the old eunuch Liu Fulai was removed from the position of the eunuch in Nanjing and cut to the people. When he was powerless, he was taken in by his "nephew" Li Meng, who was a general, and welcomed into this series of allusions to filial piety and devotion at home. Even though the eunuchs are powerful, when they go to the old land, they are often lonely, so they all do things like collecting righteous children.

But these righteous sons are often snobs and are unreliable at all, so the luck of this old eunuch Liu Fulai has been widely spread in the inner court, and it is said that Liu Fulai does not know how far he has accumulated virtue and done good in his previous life. is so lucky, even the great eunuch Wang Chengen once said to his cronies:

"Although Liu Fulai is not as good as a white ding at the moment, he is much more blessed than our family.

And this inner court is also a place to talk about seniority, after all, Liu Fulai is a big man who has served as the master of ceremonies Bingbi and the eunuch of Nanjing Town, this eunuch Xiao can't take the stage, after all, this is on the other party's territory, and speaking of which, the two really got along when they were in Beijing.

Eunuch Xiao hurriedly said politely:

"Father-in-law is not a good word, when we were literate in the inner court, Father-in-law Liu gave us a lot of guidance and teaching. I still feel that I have benefited a lot. I always want to have a chance to repay and thank you, but we don't fight, it's still like this, hehe......"

As soon as he said this, the two sides had a relationship in the car, and they became much closer to each other, Yuan Wenhong smiled, regardless of the politeness of Eunuch Xiao, and continued to ask: "Is there any relatives in Grandpa Xiao's family?" ”

Eunuch Xiao vaguely guessed what the other party was saying, but he wasn't sure. He was faintly excited, he didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity to be bought, and replied calmly at the moment:

"Our family is from Renqiu, when I was a child, my family was poor, so I found an acquaintance to send our family to the palace, our brother had tuberculosis last year, and my sister-in-law pulled a man and a girl. It's been a tough day. Although our family is helping, we may not be able to take care of ourselves...... Alas. It was the Xiao family's incense. ”

Yuan Wenhong has always had a gentle smile on his face, and when he heard Eunuch Xiao say this, the smile was even thicker, and when he looked back, those brocade-clothed guards were chatting happily with several small officials of the Jiaozhou camp who led the way, no one cared about this, Yuan Wenhong lowered his voice slightly and said:

"Renqiu's place where there are soldiers coming and going, it is not peaceful and poor, Shandong has had a good year in the past two years, it is better to move over, it is easy to take care of it nearby, you and our old lady also have some incense feelings, this is the relationship between my own family, and I will definitely not treat my sister-in-law and nephews and nieces badly."

If it were those big eunuchs with functions, Yuan Wenhong's straightforward words would definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party, thinking about what was the intention of such a bribe.

But this Xiao eunuch was originally from a humble background, because he lost the dice roll, he was sent to this Shandong place, and he was used to being poor, and people in this year are very serious about the inheritance of incense, how can this Xiao eunuch think of anything strange, and he agreed with a wish.

But after Yuan Wenhong finished saying those words, Eunuch Xiao hesitated for a while, and only then spoke:

"Our nephew looks smarter than others, can you arrange to study and read when you come to Shandong......

Yuan Wenhong, who heard this, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party had some unacceptable conditions, this small request could be met by the local public school in Tuntian Grange, and this Xiao eunuch's nephew could even enter a private school serving the common people, it was too simple.

At the moment, he agreed with his mouth, Eunuch Xiao was satisfied, and the Jiaozhou camp had done enough to do things, and he must have some requirements for Eunuch Xiao, and he would naturally put it forward when the time came.

The widow and children of the Xiao family are brought to Shandong to be raised, but there are also hostages in the hands of the other party, what to do in the future, how to do things, must be controlled by Shandong, of course, if you get benefits, you have to do things, this is also the rule of doing things.

When the brocade guards in the back stayed at night, they were all led to a small room to entertain, and they didn't know what each other was doing.

There are also Jinyiwei who met the "relatives and friends" in Shandong at night, Jinyiwei are all generations of hereditary military households in Beijing, and many people have relatives and other relationships, and many Jinyiwei personnel under Huang Ping can have a relationship with these people, and what they talk about is not outsiders.

Anyway, when they went out the next day, everyone in the mission was as if nothing had happened, and they were still like that. *****

In March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, General Zhendong, Governor of Zuodu, and General Soldier of Shandong, Li Mengli, held a ceremony to take concubines in his own prefecture.

The first day he still said that he was not in good health in front of Qincha. The next day, the ceremony of taking a concubine was held, and this place was indeed contradictory and laughable, but no one would say this in a boring way.

Yan Ruoran is a wife. When the wedding was organized, it caused a sensation in Shandong, Mu Yunyao was one of the core figures in the Jiaozhou camp, although she was a concubine, but Shandong's civil and military affairs all attached importance to abnormalities, compared with the two, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru is identity was indeed inferior, and although the status of these two girls in the inner tent was not low. But there is no reputation on the outside, and this is the private intelligence work of the inner house. However, unlike Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao, although Li Mengdi invited not many people to take a concubine this time, it really had a repercussion in provinces other than Shandong. Nanqu first Gu Hengbo, Jiangnan stunning willow is famous everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, in the land of Qinhuai fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River, the limelight is unparalleled for a while, but at the peak of the statement, it was robbed by the eunuchs of Nanjing Town, and sent to Shandong to his nephew Li Meng as a concubine. Pity the two famous flowers withered, two strange women who were not born in the world. was so insulted by the rude Shandong Wufu. Does this vulgar and unliterate martial artist know how to burn incense, how to listen to music, and how to write poems? It shouldn't be like the cheapest yellow croaker, which can be toppled .......

I don't know how many Jiangnan scholars and literati who admired the two women wrote a message of mourning, regretting the pitiful fate of these two women, and regretting that they could not see the demeanor of the two women.

Of course, there is also the filthy gentleman, who writes about erotic love and describes the fate of two poor strange women. There are all kinds of beatings and humiliations, as well as stories such as being forced by Li Meng to receive those military generals, and there are countless stories, and for a time Luoyang paper was expensive.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is best to gossip, especially the gossip of celebrities. The famous scholar Wang Shizhen of the Wanli Dynasty. The history books written are full of conclusive words. Xu Da was given a steamed goose by Zhu Yuanzhang, and died on the same day, after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was barefoot, carrying paper money with a mourning stick, and went to Xu Daling to hang Yunyun, his old man forgot that Xu Da died in Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang was in Nanjing...... There is also the ancient book "Golden Vase Plum", which is said to have been written in order to attack and insinuate Zhang Juzheng.

Now the party struggle is fierce, the two sides not only attack each other in the court, but even become a tool for party struggle, and finally to the limit, that is, after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin scholars compiled the huge work "Gu Yu Yan", in which the eunuch people, not even the eunuch party at all, but the people of Donglin's enemies, have become rebellious, unreasonable, and even with the beasts of the people, the end of the powerful.

Li Meng was originally a martial artist and couldn't enjoy this treatment, but after such a fuss, he enjoyed the status of Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying in advance. As for the people of Nanjing, there is a common saying, saying that "Mr. Li robs his relatives - the cow chews peonies", and some people imitate the Song and Yuan scripts, such as "Yanzhou Grain", "Li Lang" and so on, and wrote many excerpts of Mr. Li's plays, which have been prosperous for a long time. Because of this incident, Li Meng's reputation in Nanzhili and Zhejiang and other places is not very good, especially among scholars, and he has always been constantly attacked. Wait until this Cao Yun card charge, Jiangnan Shilin almost exploded, it was just a woman who moved everyone, but now she dares to move everyone's money bag, is it tolerable or unbearable, the master said: "Repay grievances with directness", everyone is a saint's disciple, naturally we must practice the way of the saint, it is really a new hatred and old hatred together, and its Middle East Lin Shiren almost began to mobilize. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he attacked his political enemies, and the most ruthless crime was "eunuch party", Li Meng's head was firmly buttoned with this hat, but there is no way to refute it, because Liu Fulai, the eunuch of Nanjing Town, has indeed sheltered and taken care of Li Meng for a long time, and there are scholars who wrote that this Shandong general soldier Li Mengnai is the remnant of Wei Eunuch back then, and he has been lurking for a long time, harboring evil intentions, if he is allowed to become bigger, there will be unforeseen disasters in the future. There are also people who write that the military generals are rampant and lawless, especially Li Meng, and the reason why the military generals in the world are so domineering is because they were not punished when they took away Gu and Liu's two daughters, which led to a great bad law. What is even more unbelievable is that when Li Meng was a general, the big victory of nearly 1,000 Tartars in Qihe County was in collusion with the Tartars outside the Guan. This Li Mengnai is the remnant of Mao Wenlong, when Mao Wenlong wanted to herd Ma Dengzhou, take Nanjing as a backhand, so he buried this chess piece in the land of Laizhou, and then Kong Youde and others made a mess, Li Meng did not run out, only to lurk down to subvert my Ming Dynasty. He has already taken refuge in Tartar and was named the prince, and he wants to help Tartar take this flower world and Zhang Bangchang. Qin Hui is a good thing all the way. As for the arguments about setting up cards in the canal to collect money, ill-intentioned, and ill-intentioned. It's already a rotten street, and it's not worth talking about at all. The gentry of the Ming Dynasty are all public and selfless, everyone has a clean sleeve, and every family is surrounded by walls, where there will be any business, where will Li Meng exploit him.

No matter what these people think, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru like to be low-key now, and they don't want to return to the old scenery. When they were in the south of the Qinhuai River, no matter how beautiful Gu Liu's two daughters were, they were just women who were sent to the local entertainment field, and no matter how much they were valued by those literati, they were just high-end playthings in the eyes of those literati.

Back then, they were commodities, and they didn't know when they would be bought and combed, but now they are people, and they are the family members of Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong.

They are in the Li Mansion, not because of their appearance and pleasing Li Meng, but because they are counselors. Assist Mu Yunyao in managing the most efficient intelligence system in this great tomorrow. And under the guidance of Liu Fulai, intelligence analysis and judgment were carried out.

Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru in Shandong in the past few years, according to modern terms, they are Li Mengdi's confidential secretaries, if you compare with the Ming Dynasty, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ruyi's status is equivalent to the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch.

In this kind of work, these two former Qinhuai women feel that their lives are more valuable, and they no longer rely on their appearance, various skills, or true or false temperament to please men, but rely on their own minds to deal with the text. He deserves his place in this house.

and Lingshan Commercial Bank, Shandong Salt Gang and those people communicated across the screen to collect intelligence, although they couldn't see each other's appearances, but with Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru's extensive knowledge, they naturally knew that these people who reported to them respectfully were all big men outside.

If you are still in the land of Qinhuai, you will see such a high roller. It can only be a song to welcome. Be careful, but what about today. If the inner tent room was slightly dissatisfied with the actions outside, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru said a word, and those people outside were trembling.

Such a comparison of identity and attitude, the two women naturally know what kind of life they should choose, when they were on the Qinhuai River, I heard the senior women say that the best way out is to find a solid and honest person to be good, and live a lifetime, and today is officially called Li Meng's concubine, what is not satisfied.

In the Li Mansion, the housekeeper Luo Xi wiped his sweat, and ran before and after the busy work, and finally there was a result, not many people came to the ceremony of taking concubines, and the officials of the Shandong Governor's Office, the Political Envoy Yamen, and the Prefect's Yamen must be asking for land, and Zhou Yangdi's staff team, Ning Qiangui's inspection yamen, and Lingshan Commercial Bank are also asking for land, as well as Fujian Commercial Firm, and Kong Sande in Jining.

The officers of the Jinan battalion, the people selected by Li Meng are also coming over, Laiwu is very close to Jinan, Sun Hedou and Guo Dong can also rush back, as well as the old military households of Lingshan and Aoshan in Jinan City, these people are the families of senior officers in the Jiaozhou battalion, not to mention those elders of Li Meng.

Rosie secretly screamed obediently in his heart, but fortunately, Li Meng was unwilling to handle the matter of the second concubine too much, and several generals from all over the town, the Tuntian Grange system, the Caoyun Tax Ding system, and the powerful clans in Shandong were not notified.

Even so, the courtyard was still full of guests, so busy that Rossi didn't hit the back foot, and he didn't sleep much these days.

But Rosie is very busy, there are so many distinguished guests, this is the scenery of the Zhendong General's Mansion, the General Soldier's Yamen and the Jiaozhou Battalion, so many distinguished guests, seeing him Rosie is also polite and smiling.

What did he do back then, but he was a scoundrel who sold smuggled salt, who would have thought that there was such an identity and status today, the handsome housekeeper, and the followers, what kind of status did the governor have, seeing that he still had to give a smile and nodded, tsk, there was green smoke on the ancestral grave!

Shandong everyone, whether it is Li Meng's system or not, it is difficult to see a smile on Li Meng's face, but today they saw it.

The mansion of the Li Mansion was the property of a large family at that time, and now the whole family of this large family has been taken captive to the outside of the customs, this mansion is quite vast, the guests from all walks of life are seated according to their status, everyone is smiling and chatting, everyone is busy with each other, and it is rare to be able to gather like this.

But everyone communicated, and the center of their eyes was focused on Li Meng and Li Dashuai standing in front of the hall, and Li Dashuai did not wear armor. He was dressed in the clothes of the bridegroom's officer.

Concubines cannot be married, concubines cannot marry during the day, and they cannot enter through the main entrance. When entering the door, you have to worship your wife, and the status of a concubine is similar to that of a slave, and in some cases it is equivalent to private property and has no personal rights.

But on Li Meng's side, there was some flexibility, which can be regarded as giving these two women enough decent brilliance.

Li Meng's cheeks were a little sour, and today, as the host, he greeted every guest who came to congratulate and participate in the wedding banquet with a smile.

For Li Meng, these polite etiquettes are much more tiring than participating in a big war, but they can't be shirked. Now standing in front of the hall, I am waiting for Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru is two girls to come in.

Although taking a concubine is a legal act, and some people often praise the elegance of this matter, but the world also has such a view, the real heroes and heroes, if they are not successful in their careers, they think about taking concubines and lazy about beauty, which is considered to be an act of unambitious behavior.

With Li Meng's current exhibition, it gives the world such an impression. That would be catastrophic. What's more, Li Meng's subordinates around him are all outspoken characters.

In fact, this concubine was the result of the persuasion of several henchmen and advisors around him, and Li Meng still remembered that it was the old eunuch Liu Fulai who proposed it first.

And Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao are also in favor, the reason is very simple, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao are facing Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru day and night every day, taking care of the affairs of the inner house together, and handling the information collected from various places in the inner account room together.

The second daughter who did these things should have given a real name a long time ago. In the inner house, such a nameless and shareless place is not a long-term thing.

Li Meng is also quite helpless, the reason why everyone persuades themselves to take a concubine is not from a private point of view, but from the perspective of official business, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are indeed stunning, and they are clever and lovely personalities, Li Meng certainly has no bad feelings towards these two girls. It's just that it was pushed in the name of righteousness. It always feels very weird.

It's not just weird, after the concubine is confirmed. Sun Chuanting, who is famous for his end, actually made a salute and congratulated him:

"People at the time said that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and now that Lord Li has decided on internal affairs, you can plan to go outside."

I couldn't laugh or cry.

However, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were included in the house by Li Meng, representing the completion of the last piece of the puzzle of Li Meng's inner house group.

is still the old saying, Li Meng is in this position now, and he is doing such a big thing, he has no private affairs to speak of, everything is the official business of the Jiaozhou camp.

A commotion in the courtyard interrupted Li Mengdi's thoughts, and he watched from the other side of the courtyard, several maids supporting Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru, who were covered with red hijabs, and two girls came over.

Although the people sitting on the ground in the courtyard are people with a certain status, Ping Suli pays attention to a reserved bearing. However, on this occasion, they were completely open, some people clapped their hands, and some people applauded, and the atmosphere was very warm for a while.

Li Meng turned his head to look at Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao beside him, and then looked at the two girls who were walking over there who were being supported, although they couldn't see the expressions of the two girls through the red hijab.

But Li Meng felt that whether it was the two women around him or the two girls walking opposite, everyone's mood was quite calm, even Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were very indifferent to this matter.

Because since the two of them entered the Li Mansion, today's ceremony is a matter of course.

When I came to Li Meng, there was no such thing as husband and wife worshipping when marrying a concubine, especially for a person with a noble status like Li Meng, according to the rules, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are two daughters who bowed down to Li Meng in full court, and Li Meng only needed to return half a salute.

The official who sang the salute was a good voice trained by the general and the commander, and shouted loudly there......

Li Meng's half-salute was just to bow slightly, looking at the two girls in front of him, Li Meng said in a gentle but firm voice:

"In this life and this life, Li will live up to you."

After saying this, Li Meng straightened up slightly and smiled at Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao beside him.

Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru heard it, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao also heard it, this is Li Meng's guarantee to his wife and concubine, although the words are simple, but they are firm and unquestionable.

After participating in the concubine ceremony, Eunuch Xiao returned to Beijing with the brocade guards who guarded him, and Li Meng took over the holy decree of the adjustment, but delayed the adjustment of the defense because of his illness and the fatigue of the soldiers.

This reply and the result gave the imperial court enough face, but in fact there was no change, and those civil officials who had great hopes for this will were helpless to show the fact that they had no choice but to do anything about the powerful local military leaders.

For merchants who need to transport goods on the canal, there are currently only two options, one is not to transport goods on the canal, and the other is to pay the transportation fee.

I believe that many people will know which one to choose, and all businessmen choose to pay obediently.
