Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Fei Shouyu's home is in the west of Broken Leaf City, is a mansion covering an area of 30 acres, Li Fei Shouyu's wife is the Qian Niang who was redeemed from the Liyuan Courtyard that year, and other Anxi high-ranking officials are different from the common three wives and four concubines, Li Fei Shouyu has a deep love for his wife, and resolutely refuses to take a concubine, Qian Niang even gave birth to two children are daughters, she felt guilty, so she persuaded her husband to take a concubine and have children, but Li Fei Shouyu resolutely refused, he only had one sentence, 'I only have Qian Niang in my heart, and I can no longer tolerate other women!' ’

Qianniang's heart was moved, so she didn't persuade her husband, the family lived together in harmony and happiness, Li Fei Shouyu's family originally bought more than a dozen maids, after Anxi abolished slavery, he followed Li Qing'an's example, and burned all the subordinates' deeds of sale, and the maids could leave at any time, but Li Fei Shouyu and his wife were kind and kind, and the people were unwilling to leave, and were willing to live with their family, so Qian Niang opened double the salary and regarded them as servants hired by herself.

It is not Li Qing'an's request that Li Fei Shouyu put his home in Broken Leaves, but Broken Leaves has the only women's school in Anxi, with more than 20 female gentlemen and hundreds of female schoolchildren, female schoolchildren read and read in the school, learn music, song and dance, and Li Fei Shouyu, who hopes that her daughter will become a phoenix, will send her five-year-old eldest daughter to the school, and the second daughter is young and ready to be sent to the school in two years.

Li Fei Shouyu was playing with her two daughters, the family came to report, the eldest man came, Li Fei Shouyu hurriedly greeted her, "Big brother, I just have something to look for you." ”

Li Fei Yuanli waved the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the best Sanle pulp in Persia, let's talk about it while drinking." ”

Qian Niang greeted her, she had just come back from the banquet, and before she had time to talk to her husband, she smiled and said, "You two brothers go to the study to have a drink!" I'll cook you with hot wine. ”

Li Fei Yuanli blinked and smiled: "Brother and sister, let me tell you something, Shouyu has five concubines in Shule. ”

Li Fei Shouyu slapped the back of his head, and scolded with a smile: "It's really that my sister-in-law is not around, and my skin is itchy again." ”

"Hey, hey! Isn't it empty-hearted? ”

Qian Niang shook her head and smiled: "You! If you don't have a serious story all day long, I won't believe your nonsense, you sit down, I'll give you hot wine. ”

She took the wine bottle and left, Li Fei Yuanli pulled her neck and shouted: "Brother and sister, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, go to Shule and ask." ”

"That's it! Come on! Are you still finished? ”

Li Fei Shouyu gave him another punch, and Li Fei Yuanli smiled: "Just kidding you, in fact, I took five Hu Niang concubines in the river, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, are you envious?" ”

"Envy your size, come with me to the study, I have something serious to talk to you."

The brothers entered the study, Lychee Shouyu poured a cup of hot tea for the eldest brother, and Li Fei Yuanli just wanted to make a joke, but when he saw his brother's serious expression, he swallowed the joke back.

"Say whatever you want!"

Li Fei Shouyu turned around and closed the door, then sat down and said in a low voice: "Do you know about the general?" ”

"Shichiro? What happened to Shichiro? ”

Lychee Yuanli had just rushed back from the river, but he hadn't heard anything about Li Qing'an, he hesitated and said: "I only heard that he went to Hexi to suppress bandits, I think it's a little strange, how did he go to Hexi, this is a crossing!" ”

"It seems that you don't know, you don't know yet! The great general turned out to be after it was built. ”

"Annihilator?" Lychee Yuanli looked stunned, "Which great annihilator?" ”

"!"

Li Fei Shouyu gave him a slap on the head, "I'm talking about the crown prince Li Jiancheng who was killed in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and the general is his descendant and has been hiding in Broken Leaves." ”

"No, it won't! When I took him in at the fort, he was dying of starvation, and he looked like a child of the clan, besides, if he lived in Broken Leaves, he would have been able to speak Turkic, but I know that he learned it later. ”

Li Fei Yuanli has a deep understanding of Li Qing'an's roots, and he is still skeptical of this statement, but Li Fei Shouyu shook his head and said: "Don't doubt it, now everyone knows, I heard that even the imperial court has recognized that the general is indeed a clan, but this is not important, what matters is what the general wants to do?" ”

"What does he want to do?"

"Stupid!"

Li Fei Shouyu slapped him on the head again, gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you guess this?" The general wants to ascend the throne as emperor! ”

"He's going to rebel?"

Li Fei Yuanli jumped up in shock, but Li Fei Shouyu pulled him to sit down, "Don't be excited! ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qian Niang said outside: "The wine and food are ready, open the door quickly!" ”

Lifei Shouyu hurriedly turned around and opened the door, Qianniang brought more than a dozen plates of wine and food with two maids, and brought a bucket of hot water, which was warm with wine, Lifei Shouyu said to his wife: "You go!" I'll do it here. ”

Qian Niang saw that Li Fei Yuanli's face was full of solemnity, and she completely lost the hippie smile she had just now, and knew that they were talking about business, so she nodded and said, "Okay!" You talk, I won't bother you. ”

She led the two maids out and closed the door, and at this time, Li Fei Yuanli sighed softly, "I didn't expect the little soldiers I promoted back then to compete for the throne, who would believe it?" ”

"Now is not the time to sigh, let me ask you, should we take this risk?" Li Fei Shouyu's eyes glared at the eldest brother, and his eyes were about to fall off.

Li Fei Yuanli was not stupid at all, he understood what his brother meant, "You mean, do we support him in his struggle for the throne?" ”

Lifei Shouyu nodded slowly, "That's what I mean, support him, let's bet on him for the glory and wealth of the rest of our lives, he loses, and we will also follow the family to ruin, if you don't support him, let's leave as soon as possible." ”

Li Fei Yuanli touched the beard on his chin and smiled: "Brother, I call him differently from you, you call him General, and I call him Qilang, no matter how big he is, whether he is my boss or not, I treat him as my brother, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Fei Shouyu nodded silently, "I understand!" ”

Li Fei Yuanli patted his brother's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, I know you can't let go of Qianniang and the two nieces, in fact, you don't have to worry, let's leave our family in the broken leaves or the river, let's do it with him, if he succeeds, we will also enjoy the glory and wealth, if he fails, we will immediately flee back to Lingxi, and flee to the river with our family, I heard the Sogdians say that there are still many countries in the West, let's ask for the surname and flee over there, and the court can't help us, you say yes, the feet are on us." ”

Li Fei Shouyu drank all the wine in the cup, shook his head and said: "I am different from what you think, if I decide to support him, I will be loyal to him, if I want to run away with him, if I want to die with him, when the time comes, Qian Niang and the two nieces will have to please you." ”

"Don't say such frustrating things!"

Li Fei Yuanli poured him full of wine with a smile, and said: "I don't know about others, Qilang I know best, this kid is bold and careful, he is a person who does big things, I know that he will leave a way back for himself, with Anxi as the backing, if he advances, he will sweep the world, and if he retreats, he will dominate one side, brother, you listen to me, we support him, Lao Tzu came to the world, if he doesn't do something big with a bang, it's too a loss, whether he is dead or alive, let's resign ourselves to fate!" ”

Seeing that his brother was still holding a cup, Li Fei Yuanli raised his glass and smiled: "Okay! Let's not talk about this on the first day of the new year, let's drink this cup. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, drink!"

The two of them touched their glasses and drank them all.

．．．．．．．． At night, Qian Niang coaxed her two daughters to sleep, returned to her room, and kept warm with her husband for a while, she saw that her husband was a little worried, so she smiled and said: "What's the matter, it seems that there is something on the first day of the new year, is the eldest brother telling the truth?" ”

"Do you believe him?"

Li Fei Shouyu sat on the seat, looking out the window in a daze, Qian Niang came over, stroked her husband's head and said with a smile: "I'm a woman, of course I care about whether you are messing around outside, but I never believe your eldest brother's words, he himself took five concubines outside." ”

Li Fei Shouyu hugged his wife's waist and smiled: "Tell me, how about the afternoon banquet?" ”

"Very nice! I mean, Dugu Mingyue is very good. ”

Qian Niang sighed: "It is worthy of everyone's beauty, not to mention the appearance of the peerless, and the response is decent, the banquet was held very successfully, I am most impressed that she did not snub anyone, even the families of the soldiers She took care of them one by one, the wives of the two fallen soldiers were moved to cry bitterly, the general married such a wife, it is really his blessing." ”

Li Fei Shouyu nodded and said: "The Dugu family is a big family of Guanlong, and he married the daughter of the Dugu family, which is equivalent to being tied to the Guanlong family, I also said that he has a dance costume, why do you want to marry Mingyue, and now it seems that he is the one who does great things." ”

"Yes! But my husband is the best, he doesn't care at all, and marrying you is my blessing. ”

Qian Niang lowered her head and kissed her husband's cheek heavily, she suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Tell you, Shi Sanniang and Chen Fengzhong's wife had a big quarrel this afternoon." ”

Li Fei Shouyu was stunned, "Why?" ”

"It's for the general's abolition order! In the afternoon, everyone was talking about this matter, some people supported it, some people complained, this was a normal thing, but Chen Fengzhong's wife scolded and viciously attacked the abolition order, and said that her husband was going to Chang'an to sue Li Qing'an. ”

Li Fei Shouyu frowned and said, "Why is this woman so stupid? ”

"I also said, there was a public saying that he was going to sue his boss, and then I heard Duan Niangzi say that Chen Fengzhong's family originally had thousands of slaves, and after the abolition decree was promulgated, most of her slaves ran away, and they all went to join the army to lead the field, and the remaining more than 100 female slaves also shouted every day to sell their deeds, which made her family restless, and her family had to release slaves before March, so Chen Fengzhong's wife took the opportunity of the banquet to make trouble, but Shi Sanniang was annoyed, so she quarreled with her, and almost drew a sword to kill her, but fortunately I stopped it, Otherwise, Shi Sanniang would have to kill her. ”

Li Fei Shouyu shook her head and smiled: "My sister-in-law is a person who has suffered, and she was rescued by the general, and her hot temper is even afraid of my eldest brother, Chen Fengzhong's wife made trouble at the banquet, she naturally does not tolerate it, but I want to know, how did Madame deal with this matter?" ”

Madame did not directly target her, she said to everyone, Anxi abolished slavery is not the decision of the general alone, in advance to consult the opinions of all officers above the rank of lieutenant, the vast majority of people agreed, then decided to abolish slavery, she also said that the results of the abolition of slavery everyone has seen, the slaves have become homesteaders, have been given land, everyone is willing to join the army to fight, and except for a very few people, everyone's life is basically not affected, if you usually treat the next people, the people will not leave easily, Only those who usually call their subordinates as cattle and horses, and naturally there will be no good life under the abolition order. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Niang smiled and said: "After Mrs. finished speaking, she received warm applause from everyone, and Chen Fengzhong's wife finally slipped away. ”

Li Fei Shouyu didn't say anything, when the high-level of Anxi discussed the abolition of slavery, he also participated, it should be said that the abolition of slavery is very in line with the reality of Anxi, Anxi is originally vast and sparsely populated, and at least thirty percent of the people are separated from the official household registration, existing in the form of private slaves, abolishing slaves, you can release this part of the people, become homesteaders, more importantly, after the abolition of slaves, it will attract a large number of fugitive slaves in the Central Plains, which will greatly enrich the population of Anxi, consolidate the Tang army's occupation of Lingxi, and make the Anxi army get a stable source of soldiers, This point has been agreed by everyone, the only worry is that the abolition order will be attacked by the imperial court magnates, but after weighing the pros and cons, everyone still unanimously agreed to abolish slavery, of course, the abolition order will also infringe on the vital interests of some people, such as that Chen Fengzhong, his family occupies 30 hectares of fertile land near Qiuzi, has thousands of slaves, is the largest slave owner in Anxi, and his family is rich, but he is a vested interest in the Fumeng Lingcha era, Li Qingan's subordinates can be convinced, this abolition order is actually a disguised rewash of interests, It was in view of this that the main generals of the Anxi army unanimously agreed to the abolition of slavery.

Li Fei Shouyu still had a little worry and doubt about Li Qing'an's ambition to fight for the world, but when he talked about the abolition of slavery with his wife, he unconsciously untied his knot, and it can be seen from the abolition of slavery that Li Qing'an is a very courageous person, and the problem is very realistic, everyone knows that the slave storage and land annexation of the Tang Dynasty have led to extremely serious consequences, and this slave accumulation wind has also blown to Anxi, in Anxi, human traffickers are rampant, and even the most remote towns have slave markets, on the one hand, there is a shortage of food and soldiers, On the other hand, a large number of people have been reduced to private possession, and slave storage has become a major cancer in Anxi, but in the hundred years since Anxi returned to the Tang Dynasty, who has the courage to propose the abolition of slaves, and does Gai Jiayun dare? Does Fumon Lingcha dare? Does Gao Xianzhi dare? Everyone is afraid of offending the magnates of the imperial court, but Li Qingan dares, he has the courage to get rid of the old and bad habits, break the shackles of unfair interests, and rebuild the distribution of interests, so he is naturally supported by the majority of soldiers of the Anxi Army, and naturally supported by the peasants and slaves.

At this moment, Li Fei Shouyu's heart knot was suddenly untied, and the worries of the past few months were completely eliminated, he had never felt so open-minded as now, he laughed, hugged his wife with a leg crook, kissed her heavily and smiled: "Let's have another daughter!" ”

Qian Niang smiled charmingly, hugged her husband's neck and said coquettishly: "Why do you want to give birth to a daughter, the concubine wants to give birth to a son to her husband this time." ”
