On May 29, before dawn, all the people in the original Gao Yu Mansion and now the Li Mansion have begun to get busy. Li Bashao was wearing a staff uniform and sitting in the lobby, looking indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was full of joy.

Li Bashao was very happy. He was glad that his daughter had finally found Ruyi. He was also glad that he had not seen the wrong person. A year ago, Yue Fei was still a criminal general, and he, Li Bashao, was a tragic old man who was about to fall under the siege of several major families. Now Yue Fei is already a marshal with 100,000 male soldiers, and he, Li Bashao, has become a living bodhisattva in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, and the god of wealth in the eyes of businessmen and gentry.

Li Bashao knew very well that after repelling the three-way army of the Jin soldiers, the entire Central Plains had been returned to the Protector Army. Don't look at some places now, there are still the imperial court and the banner of the Song family, it is only because Yue Fei rejected their surrender. If Yue Fei is willing to recruit, all the state capitals will hang the banner of the People's Protector Army. This means that the hearts of the people of the Central Plains have rebelled against Zhao Guiyue. If Yue Fei revealed the idea of becoming emperor, countless shameless literati would immediately come to persuade him.

But Yue Fei didn't have the slightest intention of being the emperor. If Yue Fei really wanted to be emperor, he had to start establishing his authority and slowly take Huang Zong's administrative power and Li Bashao's financial power under his control. For the emperor to be alone. If you want to be an emperor, you must leave family and friendship behind. If Yue Fei really wanted to take power, Huang Zong and Li Bashao could only let it go. More importantly, the people will not think that Yue Fei has done too much. has been brainwashed by the holy ministers of Mingjun for thousands of years, and the people only yearn for a Mingjun. Now Yue Fei has done a very good job, sympathetic to the people and caring for the soldiers. If Yue Fei became a monarch, he would definitely be even more outstanding than Li Shimin.

But Yue Fei not only did not show the idea of taking power, but still maintained the ruling center of the troika. Yue Fei is in charge of the army, Huang Zong is in charge of politics, and Li Bashao is in charge of wealth. More importantly, Yue Fei repeatedly stressed that the generals of the People's Protector Army stationed in various places must never interfere in local political affairs. The Protector Army established its authority in the midst of successive victories, but the prefects of Huang Zongshi and other places also increased their prestige in the good reputation of governance.

Yue Fei also repeatedly said in chats with Huang Zong, Li Bashao and others that the best form of government is definitely not the supremacy of the king, but the government of the troika. In such a form of government, no one is the supreme authority. Only in this way can we avoid such a strange thing as Song Huizong. Authoritative guidance zhì corruption. Absolute authority leads to absolute corruption.

Huang Zong's positioning for himself is that he is a good face of An Guo. If Yue Fei really wanted to be called the king and emperor, Huang Zong would only raise his hands in approval. The only one who opposes Yue Fei's claim to be emperor will be Li Bashao. After half a lifetime of maritime business, Li Bashao saw a system in Europa that was very different from that of the Emperor and Song Dynasty. Although Li Bashao despised Europa's ignorance of the Holy See, he always firmly believed that Europa's imperial power was not as strong as that of the Emperor Song, which was the only reason why Europa might surpass the Emperor Song.

The imperial power is too strong, and the world becomes a world of families. Just as the first emperor slaughtered heroes, burned books and pit Confucianism, and turned the blooming China into the Qin Dynasty, it was the world that regarded the world as his own private property. As a result, when Xiang Yu and Liu Bang raised their troops, even the brave and warlike old Qin people abandoned the Ying family. The reason is very simple, under the system of the Qin State, not only the people of the six countries who were destroyed were slaves, but also the original old Qin people. Under the severe punishment and strict law, the king and the general are still in danger, not to mention the people.

What made Li Bashao even more proud was that Yue Fei not only did not show the slightest idea of taking power, but often showed his disgust for imperial power in his daily chat. Yue Fei claimed more than once that the reason why China was repeatedly invaded by backward nomads was precisely because of the tyrant lord of the First Emperor. In the past dynasties, if the founding ancestor did not regard the world as a private property, did not worry that the territory was too large and difficult to govern, and with the fierce generals at the time of the founding of the country, he had already expanded the territory to Europa, and he still had to worry about the alien races on the grassland? However, the first thing the founding emperors of the past dynasties did at the beginning of China was often to put the horses in Nanshan, put the swords and guns into the warehouse, slaughter the heroes, and torture the warriors.

As long as Yue Fei maintains this sober mentality, Li Bashao believes that Yue Fei will become the first saint in the ages. As for Zhao Taizu's so-called yellow robe, he had to be called the emperor as a last resort, which was purely a fart. If Zhao Taizu is unwilling to be the emperor, where can he find such a worthy yellow robe!

Today, Yue Fei is going to marry his baby daughter, and from then on, the Li family and the Yue family are completely tied together, one is prosperous, and the other is ruined. If Yue Fei is called the emperor, the Li family will also become a descendant. But Li Bashao didn't want to be the prince of the country.

Li Bashao had already seen that Yue Fei really liked Li Xiao'e, not some political marriage. My daughter will definitely live happily. Thinking of this, the joy on Li Bashao's face was even greater, he picked up a cup of warm tea and took a sip lightly.

As soon as Li Bashao put down the wine glass, Li Heng, who was standing beside him, lifted the teapot and poured him another glass. At this time, Li Heng was no longer the fierce general who made Jin Bing fearful. He took off his heavy armor, put on the clothes of his family again, and stood beside Li Bashao as before.

Li Bashao glanced at Li Heng and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Li Heng, don't you really change this net worth clothes?" Xiao'e is getting married today, but I want you to be my brother. ”

Li Heng was very moved but said very resolutely, "Master, I, Li Heng, am just a subordinate, and I would never dare to act as the eldest lady's brother." The eldest lady will be unspeakably expensive in the future, if you let future generations know that she has a righteous brother who was born as a slave, won't it make future generations laugh? ”

"Nonsense!" Li Bashao said loudly, "You used to be my family. But now, you're the commander of the Protector's infantry regiment. Didn't Wei Qing also work as someone else's housekeeper? You soldiers, when you mention General Wei Qing, don't you give a thumbs up? Li Heng, listen to me. Put on a change of clothes. Wait until the sedan chair comes to the door after a while, and you have to greet you as a brother of Xiao'e. Hurry up and get dressed! ”

Li Heng said with a smile, "Master, I will wear this dress to greet my uncle's tall horse, presumably my uncle will not dislike me." ”

The two argued again and again, and in the end, Li Bashao still failed to convince Li Heng, so he had to rely on him.

And in the embroidery building in the courtyard of the second entrance, the red candle was not extinguished all night. Under the embroidery building, more than a dozen invited wives gathered in a pile, and they were originally invited by Li Bashao to dress up Li Xiao'e. As a result, after Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan came, they directly invited these mothers-in-law down the embroidery building. These mothers-in-law were still a little unconvinced, but when they knew that the person who came was actually the principal and vice principal of Yingtian Girl School, they were all speechless. Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan are from beautiful backgrounds, but they are smart and blue-hearted, and let them dress up Li Xiao'e, they are absolutely beautiful. The reason why these mothers-in-law stayed downstairs was because they wanted to see the craftsmanship of Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan.

Above the embroidery floor, under the light of candles as bright as day, Li Xiao'e was wearing a red dress and holding a red hijab in her hand, looking nervously at herself in the mirror. Although Li Xiao'e in the mirror has bright eyes and bright teeth, Li Xiao'e is still worried that something is wrong.

Li Qingzhao is braiding Li Xiao'e's hair in a bun. Zhang Ruolan said with a smile on the side, "Sister Xiao'e, look at you are more beautiful than the immortals now." Xianggong Yue is really blessed. can marry a big beauty like Xiao'e's sister. ”

After Li Qingzhao cleaned up Li Xiao'e, he also glanced in the mirror, and then praised, "Sister, you don't have to look at the mirror with a nervous look anymore." A big beauty like you, no matter how high his vision is, he can satisfy him. ”

Lee Hyo-e's face was as if it had been burned red by a candle. There was both shyness and unconcealed joy on her brows. She pretended to be worried and asked, "Two sisters, look at me again, what's wrong?" My ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her mother-in-law today. ”

Li Qingzhao said with a smile, "If my sister is still an ugly daughter-in-law, there will be no beautiful daughter-in-law in the world." Don't worry, sister, my aunt is not a person who picks bones in eggs. ”

Fluttershy, Li Xiao'e's personal girl, grinned and said, "Miss, you're as beautiful as a phoenix today." ”

Li Xiao'e laughed and said, "You little girl is talking nonsense, have you ever seen a phoenix?" ”

Fluttershy says, "Of course. It must look the same as Miss. If it's not the same as Miss, it's not a phoenix. ”

Li Qingzhao's girl Xiaoqing is also in the room. She puts her mouth to Fluttershy's ear and says, "Fluttershy, you have a good mouth. ”

While everyone was laughing, the sky outside the embroidery window had already lit up. Li Xiao'e couldn't help but get nervous again. She straightened her clothes in front of the mirror repeatedly, as if she were afraid that they would be wrinkled.

The boisterous sound of firecrackers could already be heard in the distance. Fluttershy exclaimed, "My uncle must be here." ”

Today's Yue Fei is also dressed differently from the past. Riding on the dark clouds and covering the snow, wearing the clothes of the groom's official, he was dressed up in a colorful and heroic manner. After Yue Pegasus, there was a big red sedan chair carried by eight palanquins. Drummers, gongs and drums, non-stop blowing and pulling bombs. On both sides of the street, there were already many plainclothes protectors mixed with the homeless people, seeing Yue Shuai so heroic, while cheering loudly, his eyes did not forget to look at the pedestrians on both sides of the street.

In charge of security is none other than Xu Jinshi, the director of the Secret Intelligence Department. Because Yue Fei was not allowed to clean the streets and was not allowed to be under martial law, Xu Jinshi gathered almost all the personnel of the Secret Intelligence Division in Bianliang. Although Yue Fei's martial arts are high, it is easy to dodge with open guns, and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. Today's Yue Fei is not wearing iron armor, in case he is assassinated by the assassin at close range with a sleeve crossbow, but his life is in danger.

The horse boy who led Yue Fei was Jiao Wentong. Jiao Wentong stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and kept looking left and right, looking like that, it was like going to the Li Mansion to greet his relatives, and it was obviously going to the tiger's den of the Dragon Palace.

In the end, Yue Fei couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed, and Jiao Wentong returned to normal. Finally led the horse and walked towards the Li Mansion at a normal marching speed.

Outside the gate of the Li Mansion, the crowd of onlookers was even more crowded. At this time, the onlookers were half homeless and half rich squires.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the dark clouds covered the snow and finally stopped in front of the Li Mansion. Jiao Wentong cleared his throat and shouted, "Uncle is outside the door." Master Liba, don't you send someone to greet you? ”

As soon as Jiao Wen's voice fell, those rich squires seemed to have discussed it, and shouted loudly, "Uncle is outside the door, eighth master, it's time to send my daughter out." ”
