Chapter 373: I wish my wife a promotion
Li Junxian returned home, and then immediately shouted: "Mulan, I'm back, I have something to congratulate you!" ”
But Li Junxian's eldest daughter Li Hui said: "Daddy, my mother is talking to Aunt Dugu in the back garden!" ”
Li Junxian immediately hugged Li Hui to the back garden, and then saw Mulan talking to Dugu Yiren in the back garden.
"Yiren, Mulan, you're all here!" Li Junxian asked.
"Sister Mulan and I are chatting here, it's not bad." Dugu Yiren said.
Li Junxian saw this situation and immediately felt a lot more relieved. Because Mulan is now also a dignified prince, her nominal status is no less than that of Li Junxian's husband. And if you want to compare all the women in Li Junxian, Mulan's status is the highest, even Dugu Yiren, the wife, can't compare. And Ashinayun is a princess who has died in the country, although her status is high, but this is at least a nominal status, and the actual status depends on Li Junxian's personal thoughts.
And Li Junxian is also worried that if Mulan has the title of Duke of the Kingdom and is dissatisfied with her family status, then I am afraid there will be some trouble. Strictly speaking, Mulan has at least one flat wife, which is lower than the main wife of Dugu Yiren. But Mulan's current so-called social status is much higher than that of Dugu Yiren, in case Mulan doesn't want Dugu Yi's family to climb on her head, then I'm afraid Li Junxian really has a headache. Now that there is no fight between them, Li Junxian is a lot more relieved.
"Mulan, I'm going to tell you good news today, I'm afraid you're going to be promoted." Li Junxian said.
"I'm getting promoted? What official position did the emperor give me? Can you stay in Chang'an, I don't want to go out to fight. Mulan asked.
Mulan has not been able to go to the special guard for the time being, because the special guard is temporarily scattered in different camps, so there is no need for Mulan, the chief of staff, as the commander. And Mulan is also living at home these days, with her children at ease. Because Mulan went on the expedition, she hadn't seen the child she gave birth to for several months, and she missed Li Ruiye and Li Hui a lot. So these days are spent with my own children. No matter how powerful Mulan is, she is also a woman, of course, she is most concerned about her husband and her children.
Li Junxian said with a smile: "Of course I stayed in Chang'an, I'm afraid there will be no war to fight in the next ten years, you can rest assured." The position given to you by the emperor is the left deputy chief of the newly established General Staff, from the position of Sanpin. ”
"The General Staff? Isn't that the future command department of the Tang Army? How do you want me to be the left deputy chief? Mulan also said with some surprise.
Mulan also couldn't believe it, because the Datang General Staff would let a woman be the deputy chief. This position is almost second only to the chief of the General Staff, and I am afraid that the actual power is not necessarily lower than that of the chiefs of other departments. With such a big position of real power, give it to Mulan as a woman. It's almost unbelievable.
"Of course it's true, the emperor told me, and specially asked for my opinion, and I agreed." Li Junxian said.
"Jun Xian, do you agree?" Mulan couldn't believe it.
Li Junxian is now just a sacrificial wine from the military academy of the third grade, which is Li Junxian's only real power position. As for others, for example, although the prince's guest is in the position of the third product, he has no real power. Therefore, if Mulan is the deputy chief of this general staff. That actual status may not be lower than Li Junxian. Li Junxian was able to allow his wife's status to be no less than his own, which is a bit surprising. In ancient times, how many men could allow their women to be of the same status as themselves? And even in later generations, except for a few men. I'm afraid that the vast majority of men marry a woman whose status is not as good as their own!
The reason why Li Shimin wanted to ask for Li Junxian's consent was because it had some impact on Li Junxian's family issues, so he would ask Li Junxian's opinion.
"Mulan, am I the kind of man who is a little family? You can rest assured. If you want to do it, just do it. But this is probably your highest peak, and if you want to continue to move forward in the future, it will be very difficult! Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian knows. The reason why Mulan was able to become this deputy chief is probably due to many accidental factors. The first is that Mulan became the chief of staff of the special guard, so she has experience and can help Li Jing, a layman, manage the general staff. Li Jing is also a layman no matter how he says it, so he urgently needs an experienced assistant to manage it.
Moreover, Li Shimin recalled Princess Pingyang from Mulan, Li Shimin regarded Mulan as the shadow of Princess Pingyang, so he was treated so preferentially. In addition, Mulan is a woman, she cannot obtain supreme power in the army, and can only rely on the authority of others to do things, which can reassure Li Shimin, and rest assured that Mulan will not be able to override Li Jing, the commander-in-chief.
It is precisely because of the combination of these reasons that Mulan became the deputy chief of the General Staff. And this is also the highest peak of Mulan's life, and it will be almost difficult to make progress in the future. Because in ancient times, soldiers could allow a female general, but they would never allow a female commander. There is a difference between a general and a commander-in-chief, so the commander-in-chief of the army can only be blamed on men. Mulan was able to become the deputy chief of the General Staff, which was already at the peak, and it was almost impossible to straighten it out.
But Li Junxian is different, Li Junxian is only old now, maybe as long as he reaches the age of forty, I am afraid that the chief of the General Staff will not be able to escape. Even if Li Junxian wants to become a civil official, he will definitely be the prime minister at the age of forty. And Mulan is afraid that it will not be able to improve in the next few decades, and this is the problem of development potential caused by gender.
"Great! The child congratulates his mother on her promotion! Li Ruiye said immediately.
"My daughter also congratulates her mother on her promotion!" Daughter Li Hui also said.
"Aunt Mulan, you will take me to the army in the future, and I will also fight in the future!" Li Ruiqing also said.
"This kid!" Li Junxian touched the heads of the three children and said with pity.
Li Junxian and Mulan walked into the room, and Mulan suddenly said jokingly: "Junxian, my official position will be higher than you in the near future!" ”
Li Junxian snorted: "Mulan, you have learned badly!" No matter how high your official position is, you are also my woman, and you can't violate the rules of a husband as a wife. What's more, I am also a guest of the prince of Zhengsanpin, and the emperor has not taken this position yet, so your official position is not as good as mine. ”
"But my real power is higher than yours! Now that you are teaching and educating people, I am in charge of the whole army, who do you say has the most power? Mulan said.
Li Junxian suddenly stood up and said, "It seems that I have spoiled you in the past few years, and I want to teach you what a husband is a wife." ”
Li Junxian reported Mulan to the bed, and then ...... fiercely (To be continued......)
