Raid

Chapter 353
"They said they would choose a husband for His Highness."

"Pfft——" The tea in Li Shengxi's mouth was all sprayed out, and the maid on the side hurriedly picked up the handkerchief to help wipe it.

Li Shengxi's expression was complicated, with mixed feelings, "Uncle Li Wang came up with this stupid move, right?"

Nian Xi suppressed a smile and nodded, "Later, it was His Highness King Yong who stopped the matter. They said that when His Highness returned to Beijing, the princes of Mancheng would let His Highness choose."

"This is the reward for defeating Northern Qi?" Li Shengxi raised his eyebrows. Even if the Northern Qi was not conquered, the princes of Mancheng would still let her choose, so there is no need for this.

"About yes." Nian Xi nodded.

"You want His Highness to marry, and then take away His Highness's military power?" Rong Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Li Sheng attacked Fu's forehead, "The national funeral is still several months away."

"That's coming soon, it's already June, and, does His Highness want to leave for Beijing immediately?" Rong Zhi asked.

Emperor Hongxing died in November last year, and the whole country will mourn until November this year at least.

Li Shengzhen shook his head, "It's clear from a glance that they are going to take the opportunity to take over my military power. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Besides, Wangjing's power is not yet secure."

Now that the world is unified, the best way to integrate the north and the south is naturally - to move the capital.Although Linxi is good, but he lives in the southeast, looking at it from a wider perspective, building the capital in Wangjing is actually a more suitable choice.

She didn't want the north she had conquered to be lost within a few days.

Rong Zhi knew Li Shengxi's idea of ​​moving the capital, so when he heard Li Shengxi say that, he knew what Li Shengxi was thinking.

"It's better to stay for another half a year, wait until Wangjing is stable, and then find out about moving the capital."

"They will not agree to move the capital for no reason." For her, she has deep roots everywhere, but the little emperor is different. Once the capital is moved, the little emperor will lose even the last bit of geographical advantage.

He didn't know whether he agreed with Li Shengxi, but that old fox of King Li would not agree.

"Now the Holy Majesty cannot be in charge of the government. The government is decided by several auxiliary ministers. Among the auxiliary ministers, they are either neutral or attached to His Highness. There is only one Li Wang."

"Although there is only one person, compared with the rest of the auxiliary ministers, he is not as important as him." Li Shengxi shook his head.

"No matter how important King Li is, he is not as important as His Highness. Since he wants to eradicate His Highness, His Highness will naturally eliminate dissidents." Rong Zhi reminded.

Li Sheng paused, and speaking of it, keeping King Li was originally for the purpose of being in charge of the south, but when she returned to the capital, why would he need King Li to be in charge?

Li Shengxi picked up a fruit and threw it to Rong Zhi, "How did you talk?"

Rong Zhi caught it immediately, and put the fruit back in front of Li Shengxi, "His Royal Highness, pay attention, the humble minister is settling accounts."

Li Shengxi sneered, and continued: "It's just that he is a veteran after all, so he has to think of a safe way."

Rong Zhi nodded.

Li Shengxi looked at him, Wangjing's political situation was rotten, there were a lot of bad debts, and the people under him couldn't figure it out, so he went to Rongzhi.

"It's hard for them to bother to find you. There is no one around me who settles accounts faster than you." Li Shengxi said with emotion.

"It's not me who is the fastest to settle accounts in Wangjing."

Li Shengxi suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but smile, "Then you do the math first, I'll call her to help you."

They were talking about Zhan Qirui's wife, Meng Wan.This lady Meng is very proficient in counting.

Li Shengxi asked someone to ask her for help, and she readily agreed, Wangjing is full of waste, and she can do as much as she can, let alone something she is good at.

With Meng Wan's help, the settlement of accounts was made much faster.

At that time, Li Shengxi even hosted a banquet for Meng Wan.

"With the talent of Qing, it is worthy of serving in the household department." Li Shengxi praised without hesitation.

"Your Highness is overrated." Meng Wan said very modestly.

Li Sheng shook his head, "Where is the reputation? A household department is not as good as you. At least you can be a servant."

Everyone has a meal.

What Li Shengxi said was half-truth and half-false, if it was said in someone else's mouth, they would probably think it was a polite remark.But it was Li Shengxi who said this, so there was a third more truth in what he said, which made people speculate for no reason.

After all, during the time that His Highness stayed in Wangzhong, he did many unpredictable things.

For example, "clear talks" are often held to discuss current affairs related to Wangjing, and men and women are invited to participate, and she will also take action if available.It seems that at this moment, Li Shengxi has become the favorite empress, and those men and women who participated in the chat have become courtiers.

Some time ago, I heard that the head of Jiade County is good at writing books, especially Buddhism, and Mrs. Liang Guo is proficient in the script and language of the dynasty and foreign countries.As an orphan, Li Shengxi asked the two to translate the Four Books and Five Classics of this dynasty, as well as some Buddhist scriptures into Xirong language.

When the king of Xirong came to congratulate him in the future, she gave them the book and asked them to recite it.Within a few years, Li Shengxi did not plan to send troops to Xirong.The first is national unity, which requires governance.The second is the domestic waste of the unification war, which requires recuperation.

In addition, a few days ago, Xirong surrendered a letter and was willing to make a confession.Li Shengxi would not refuse the money sent in vain.After all, the money will be turned into military funds in the future.I am willing to give even the money, so let’s read the Four Books and Five Classics as well.Just come back for the assessment every year when the confession is made, if you fail the test, you will die.

Regarding Li Shengxi's behavior, others thought it was weird, but no one dared to say anything, and no one dared not cooperate.After all, today's Li Shengxi is the emperor of the soil.

"So Miss Meng, would you like to go to the Southern Dynasty with me? Within three years, the servant will do it." Li Shengxi asked with a smile.

Now that the world is unified and the territory is expanding, it is time to verify the household registration, investigate the number of people, and divide the land.The household department is still busy with things.

Meng Wan is sensitive to numbers, so she plugged it in to be an official, and when these things were finalized, she also accumulated experience as an official.At that time, he has made great contributions again, so why worry about not being able to become a servant?

Meng Wan was slightly taken aback, so this King Ning was not joking, and his words were true.

Meng Wan felt unexpected, but after thinking about it, it made sense.Today's events seem to be all followable.

She herself is such a precedent.

Faced with Li Shengxi's proposal, Meng Wan's heart couldn't help but jump.For others, Li Shengxi's suggestion is to risk the displeasure of the world.But for her, Li Shengxi's suggestion was extremely attractive.

Because Meng Wan herself was a very arrogant woman since she was a child, she looked down upon men and claimed that she was not inferior at all.

She also knew that what Li Shengxi said seemed light and easy, but it was not that simple to do.

But she is still willing to try.

"If His Royal Highness does not give up, the concubine will follow."

　Write the male and female protagonists as villains.

　　There is no way, the conflict between King Li and Sheng Xi is irreconcilable.

　　If it was a time when the Southern Jin Dynasty was facing internal and external troubles, these two could definitely be of one mind and love each other more than anyone else.

　　But in times of peace, their ending is doomed to fight and fight to the death.
