Walking out of the palace gate of the Wenhua Palace, the reddish glow shone on the white steps, and the mighty guards of the Imperial Forest were changing their guards. It's just getting dark. Although he didn't sleep all night, Chen Kefu didn't feel sleepy at this time.

The situation in Hedong is chaotic, and Hebei is in turmoil again. He suddenly felt as if he had made a mistake, and although he had successfully gone south to the Central Plains, he had put himself in a somewhat embarrassing situation.

He felt bored, and the feeling of this kind of thing getting out of control and not being in control made him a little uneasy.

Chen Kefu stood at the gate of the palace wearily for a long time, and the soldiers who had changed the guard looked at him with curious eyes, if it weren't for the strict military regulations of the imperial guards, these soldiers would have wanted to come forward and ask King Chen what was going wrong.

Back in the apse, he did not go back to his bedroom, but went directly to the palace where Li Xiuning lived. As soon as he arrived, Li Xiuning greeted him: "Why did Your Highness come to the palace of the concubine so early, did something happen?" ”

"Uh...... It's something that's going on. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Kefu still told Li Xiuning about the meeting just now. Although such a military aircraft event should not have been told to the women of the harem. But Chen Kefu does not believe in the statement that women cannot participate in politics, not to mention that it is still a war year, and the affairs of Hedong are also the affairs of Li Xiuning's mother's family.

"Hedong Liu Wuzhou and other places are strong and menacing, and they have picked a good time." This is the most annoying place for Chen Kefu, time. What he needs most now is time, if he can have another year or so, he can turn the Central Plains Henan into another Hebei, a Henan that is firmly in his hands.

Li Xiuning gently put his hands on his lower abdomen and quietly listened to Chen Kefu's troubled complaints. After Chen Kefu finished speaking, Li Xiuning smiled slightly, she already knew what he was worried about.

"Husband, you're too worried. Don't worry, you're still in control. ”

"Ahh Just ......"

"Hehe, husband, I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to see it." Cardin smiled and said, "Think about it, compared with the situation when he was in Liaodong and first entered Hebei, is the current situation of Fujun better?" Could it be that Dou Jiande can compare to Xue Shixiong and Li Jing's 300,000 Hebei army? Could it be that Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu are so powerful that they can be compared with the Turkic Khan Shibi Great Khan, who commanded 400,000 wolf horses? And today's Central Plains. Although it is not yet fully controlled, it is not as good as the situation when Li Mi and Wang Shichong were in charge of the Central Plains together? ”

"Humph! I was never afraid of the Great Sui Emperor who was as rich as Yang Guang back then, but now a group of clowns who jump off the beam, am I still afraid? As soon as Li Xiuning said a few words, Chen Kefu suddenly became a lot more enlightened, he pretended to pinch Li Xiuning's smooth chin lightly, and said seriously.

Li Xiuning laughed out loud: "It's so serious!" ”

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.

"Husband, you started as a soldier and horse in Liaodong, and it has only been four years. In just four years, you have already calmed down the outside of the plug. Horses stepped on the Central Plains and became the strongest in the world. This achievement. How many people envy and look up. The concubine felt that her husband seemed to be a little anxious and a little anxious recently? Husband, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't win the world in a hurry. Be worried, if you want to hurry, you won't be able to reach it. Fight for the world, in a hurry. The concubine still thinks. The husband should still be as he did when he first entered Hebei, and seek progress in stability, instead of wanting to sweep away and level the world as he does now. ”

Chen Kefu thought about it very seriously. Finally, a light smile surfaced: "I see." ”

Li Xiukong smiled approvingly, her husband was a very smart person, he was not only talented in military affairs, but also had a high comprehension of all kinds of heights in the field of strategy, as long as he made a little adjustment, he could immediately understand. …,

Somehow, she remembered her younger brother Shimin again, and secretly compared him with Chen Kefu. The deceased younger brother Shimin, like her husband, is a military general who gallops on the battlefield, but the two are two completely different people. Shimin was born into a famous family, shrewd and capable, talented and well-versed in life, elegant taste, and impeccable. But compared with her husband, Shimin is more like imitating her husband everywhere. And the biggest difference with her husband is that Shimin is always a little anxious, as if he can't wait.

At the beginning, she obeyed her father's order, and because she fell in love with her first sight in Liaodong, she agreed to the relationship with Pojun. It should be said that I have no regrets about this matter. Although they were forced to be separated for a long time after only one day of marriage, and even now that they are together again, she has been forced to share this husband she loves with multiple women. But he has always been considerate and caring for himself, and respects himself, and consults with himself in everything, and does not have the machismo that ordinary men treat women as nothing. No matter from which point of view, it can be said that a woman of the clan can marry a man like Chen Pojun, and she has no regrets.

Especially now, although her father and brothers are dead, she unexpectedly learns that she is pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood. The unexpected joy under this great sorrow also made him gradually come out of the pain of losing his loved ones, watching her current husband finally go farther and farther, and gradually climbed to the peak of the world's power, she also had some faint worries. What worries her is not the relationship between the two, but that she feels that her husband has always been getting more and more rapid recently, and he has gradually had a little bit of the shadow of the original Shimin.

“…… What did you say? What her husband was saying, Li Xiuning was distracted and didn't hear clearly.

Chen Kefu smiled good-naturedly and repeated the words again: "I have an idea, the thing is...... I mean......" He was a little embarrassed, and finally said in a slurred manner: "The situation in Hedong has been a bit chaotic recently, and the Li family has no one who is really in charge of the family now. Therefore, I want you to go back to Taiyuan with the eldest grandson Shunde, you are the daughter of the Li family, my wife, and the eldest sister of Zhiyun, the current head of the Li family. In this way, when you go back to Taiyuan, you will be able to make good use of the resources of the Li family in Hedong and help the imperial court save the situation in Hedong......"

Li Xiuning's hand caressing her lower abdomen trembled slightly, and the smile on her face froze and fell silent. She hadn't told her husband the news of her pregnancy yet, and she was going to tell him the good news today, but she didn't expect that her husband would suddenly bring up such a thing.

She sat there stunned, her mother had died early, and now her father and brothers were dead. Although the Li family in Taiyuan is still there, the only things left there are now are his father's concubines and half-brothers and sisters of several ages, as well as other uncles and brothers of the same clan.

She didn't want to go back to Taiyuan, and the Li Mansion in Taiyuan would only remind her of the days when she was separated from her husband and was lonely and helpless in the mansion. It was a painful memory, not to mention that she had only recently been reunited with her husband. She really didn't want to be separated again!

Staring at his wife's beautiful face, seeing the look of reluctance on her face, Chen Kefu fell into deep thought.

Reason told him that the current situation in Hedong was gradually getting out of control, and if he didn't make any more moves, it would cause even more trouble. But in fact, he was in trouble in Hebei, Henan, and Hedong, and he couldn't take care of it everywhere for a while. And in the current situation, he can only choose to deal with Henan and Hebei first. As for Hedong, he can't reach it. But Chen Kefu was unwilling to ignore Hedong on this, thinking about it, if Li Xiuning was sent to Hedong and Wang Rengong and others in Hedong were supported behind, it was possible for Li Xiuning to replace Li Zhiyun, the son of Li Yuan, who was only 12 years old, and become the head of the Li family. …,

If Li Xiuning becomes the head of the Li family, he will be able to fully mobilize all the strengths of the two forces of the Hebei Army and the Li family, and combine them to fight against Liu Wuzhou and other local powers. Even if Liu Wuzhou can't be defeated, at least the situation in Hedong will not continue to deteriorate.

However, Li Xiuning's silent reaction made it a little difficult for him to decide. If she is unwilling to go back to Hedong, it is impossible for her to force her to go back to Hedong. He has always felt that he owes Li Xiuning a little, so he has always just wanted to compensate her well, and never wanted to hurt her again.

"It's okay if you don't want to go, I'll think of another way." Chen Kefu smiled and stroked Li Xiuning's hair.

"Is the situation in Hedong really getting to such a bad level?" Li Xiuning frowned, her heart full of reluctance. But in the end, he said: "If the husband thinks that the concubine going to Hedong can help the situation in Hedong, then the concubine is willing to go for the husband." ”

"Actually, you don't have to force it." Chen Kefu hugged Li Xiuning with emotion.

"Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog. On the night of her marriage in Luoyang, the concubine said this to her husband. Now that the husband is fighting the world, the concubine naturally has to do a part. Besides, I've been away from home for a long time, so I'm actually very happy to be able to go back and meet a few aunts and siblings this time. Li Xiuning forced a smile, held Chen Kefu's big hand and smiled gently.

I wanted to tell her pregnancy several times, but in the end, she was afraid that as soon as she said it, Pojun would change her mind and not let her go to Taiyuan. After hesitation, she still didn't say anything about it. She felt that being able to help her husband could be regarded as her greatest support and greatest love for her husband.

Seeing his wife so understanding, Chen Kefu was relieved, and the feeling of hesitation in the fog disappeared.

He secretly rejoiced that for women, beauty and wisdom are often difficult to complete. Even many women from the family family think more about helping their mothers. But I was fortunate that God had given me such a perfect wife, who was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also very beneficial to my future. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
