Chapter 343: Just Be Happy
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Xiao Linhui to say goodbye and left Yizhou.
After another two days, Pei Zhiwang also left Yizhou.
Xiao Linhui led people to continue to cultivate potatoes, build embankments, and devote himself to the cause of building a better home for the people.
And in addition to Xiao Lingwei reading and practicing in the backyard and teasing Xiao Xin, she likes to run with Xiao Linhui most of the time. Because of the battle against the flood, Xiao Lingwei impressed the people near and far with her superb martial arts and kind character, and won everyone's respect, so when she appeared next to Xiao Linhui and participated in government affairs, the officials around Xiao Linhui or the officials in Yizhou had no opinion. Even sometimes, when Xiao Lingwei asked them questions, they were very happy to answer her questions.
In this way, Xiao Lingwei quickly got along with officials in Yizhou and even nearby, and by the way, paved the way for Xiao Linhui's career, and her reputation once surpassed Xiao Linhui.
Of course, Xiao Linhui was not unhappy, only proud, and couldn't wait to raise Xiao Lingwei as a son, and often sighed to Yang Huijun: "If Weiwei is a son, someone will inherit my mantle." ”
Whenever this happens, Yang Huijun will always pour cold water on him: "I think you might as well cultivate Xiao Xin from now on." ”
The grass grows and the warbler flies, time flies, and Xiao Linhui has been in office for three years.
In the past three years, Yizhou has been in full swing, and everything has been getting better and better, but the court officials have suffered no less than 20 personnel transfers, large and small.
General Yang Lao was crowned the crown prince and the king of the general because of his merits, but this is just a title, and there is a reward, but the emperor said that General Yang Lao was old, and he was seriously injured when he attacked the Turks, so for the sake of his body, he only gave him the title, and did not hand over all the military power in the world to him.
However, he still has 100,000 troops in the Gyeonggi region, plus 1,000 personal guards, and his strength is still not to be underestimated.
Yang Gang was named the deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and his official position was raised, but he was still under his father.
Yang Zheng was named the Tiger and Wolf General, Xiao Lingfeng was named the General Zuo Yiwei, and the others were also rewarded at different levels.
During this period, the Turkic Khan surrendered to Dayuan, asked to marry the princess with a war horse, concluded an alliance, and no longer went to war.
The second princess was reluctant to live or die, and the concubine also begged bitterly, but unfortunately the emperor had long been disgusted with the two of them because of the third prince, and insisted on sending the second princess to the Turks despite their prayers.
Not long after the second princess left, the concubine died of depression because her son died and her daughter married away from another country.
During this period, a major event also happened in Dayuan, that is, the life experience of Li Zhenxiao, the governor of Taiyuan.
It is rumored that when Li Zhenxiao once returned to Beijing to report on his work, he caught up with an old prince from other places to enter Beijing, and when the two met, the old prince immediately recognized Li Zhenxiao, saying that he was the youngest son of Prince Huiren, the elder brother of the first emperor, and also came up with strong evidence.
After some investigation by the emperor, he announced the world, and asked Li Zhenxiao to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, change his surname back to Li, seal the prince of An, and leave him in Taiyuan.
Young Master Li, oh no, it's Young Master Li who has been named the prince...
Yizhou.
“... It is said that the Suzaku Rebellion was very tragic that year, and that year, the three princes who participated in the rebellion all died under the arrows, and Prince Keihito was also seriously injured, but King Ke ran away.
Prince Huiren was worried that King Ke would make a comeback and that the remnants of the capital would be troubled, so he sent someone to escort Concubine Yinbian, who was pregnant at the time but had not yet been known by outsiders, to leave the capital and go to Hebei.
"Not long after, Prince Huiren died of his injuries, and Concubine Yinfang was nowhere to be found."
Xiao Ling asked curiously, "What about Prince Huiren's other sons?" ”
Hearing her ask a question, Lan Mei spoke more energetically: "I heard that in the rebellion back then, several princes rushed into the East Palace and killed people when they saw them. Prince Huiren's sons were young and basically did not escape the fate of being killed, and only one of the younger emperor's grandsons was rescued by loyal servants.
"But this little emperor is very unlucky, he was born with asthma, although he escaped from the East Palace, he had an asthma attack and died within two days."
"Alas, what a pity." Xiao Lingwei's mood was a little heavy: "I didn't expect the battle for the throne to be so fierce, even the brothers and nephews can do it, and it is the most ruthless emperor's family..."
When he walked out of the door, Li Xuan suddenly said, "I'll invite you to have a drink." ”
Tong Mokang immediately reacted, this is something to say to him, "Okay." ”
So, the two came to a restaurant not far away, Li Xuan asked for a clean room, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine.
The two drank and chatted.
"Here, let's have a toast first."
Li Xuan raised his glass and drank it.
Tong Mokang was young, and when he was at home, Mrs. Tong usually detained him and forbade him to drink, but once he was out with his classmates and drank once, and that time he was drunk for a day and a night, and he didn't dare to go back, only lied that he was at his classmates' house.
His gaze stayed on the wine glass in front of him, wondering if the wine had a lot of stamina, would he get drunk?
Li Xuan saw that he didn't move after drinking, and teased: "What? The boy is so old, he can't drink? ”
"Of course not." Tong Mokang picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
He choked on the rush to drink.
"Ahem..." Tong Mokang's face turned red, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Let you be reckless.
Li Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, and quietly filled his wine glass again: "The wine in this house is not bad, come, let's have another drink." ”
After drinking three cups in a row, Li Xuan stopped and beckoned him to eat.
When the two of them were about the same, Li Xuan finally got to the point: "Do you like my little junior sister?" ”
"Ahem..."
Tong Mokang was choked again.
Li Xuan pushed the cup in front of him, "Drink your saliva, take it slowly." ”
Tong Mokang took the cup and poured it into his mouth, and after drinking it, he realized that it was not water, but wine. But looking at Li Xuan's innocent face, he didn't seem to know that this was wine, so he had to eat Coptis dumbly and endure it.
Li Xuan repeated the question just now: "Do you like my little junior sister?" ”
This time, Tong Mokang was much calmer, and he replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”
It's quite a confession.
Li Xuan said slowly: "I sent someone to investigate you, and I heard that you also have a cousin who looks like a flower and jade, and has admired you since childhood.
"Your two families also have the intention of marrying, your mother mentioned this to you before, and you did not object, and your two families also agreed to let you marry when you won the champion.
"Since you have a marriage contract, you shouldn't have thoughts about other girls, this kind of cousin is the most troublesome.
"Weiwei is my little junior sister, I won't allow men in the morning and twilight to approach her."
Speaking of "cousin", Tong Mokang frowned, "My matter with my cousin is just a verbal appointment between adults, and we have not made a marriage.
Although a verbal covenant is also an agreement, it is necessary to be honest.
"It's just..."
