Late Tang

After Gongsun Lan left, Li Jing sat quietly for a long time, looking at the whitening winter sun in front of the court.

I don't know how Wang Guiniang will react after she finds out about marrying Yu Youniang. Of course, she may not have any sadness on her face, and she may even put on a magnanimous image.But he knew that this would hurt her deeply. It has been almost a year. Although Yu Youniang is young and regards you as a princess, she eats fast and worships Buddha and doesn't care about world affairs at all.The couple didn't spend much time together, and they didn't even have sex in the past year.In the past, Gui Niang always worked very hard, and she wanted to give birth to a legitimate son for the Li family.But in the past year, this idea has long been abandoned.

Maybe Wang Guiniang will be sad, but not too sad, after all, she seems to have known that this day will come.

Among the many women in the family, Wang Wanjun may be the one who is least willing to accept this fact.This stunningly beautiful woman with the wisdom of a monster, since Li Jing beat her a few times, has turned her attention to taking charge of the back house and raising a few sons.Wang Guiniang has no children, and she is not very keen on managing the back house, so the back house was completely taken over by her.What's more, she gave birth to three sons in a row, and the eldest son was the eldest son of the Li family. In the absence of a son, the eldest son was equivalent to the son of King Qin, with a noble status.Now he is only a few years old, but he has been conferred the title of King of Lanling County by the emperor.

Originally, seeing that Wang Guiniang was close to becoming a monk, Wang Wanjun became the wife of the housekeeper of the Li family, and his son might become the eldest son in the future.But now Li Jing suddenly wants to marry Yu Youniang, and she is still a wife instead of a concubine, which immediately weighs on her head, and once Yu Youniang gives birth to a son in the future, it will be a legitimate son.Regardless of whether Wang Wanjun's son is the eldest son, but in this era, there are thousands of differences between the sons and daughters.

According to Tang law, concubines cannot be wives.Regardless of the reason for the wife's death, a concubine is a concubine, and both men and women who take concubines as wives will be exiled with the torture rod.Therefore, it can be said that it is impossible for Wang Wan's son to become a legitimate son in his lifetime.Yu Youniang's entry into the Li family will have the greatest impact on Wang Wanjun.

But think about it carefully, Wang Chenjun is not only beautiful but also smart. Although she also has a strong natal support, she should know what can and cannot be done.Even if Wang Pu is the Minister of the Ministry of War, even if Wang Pu was born in the top family of the Taiyuan Wang family in Hedong, if Wang Wanjun dares to do something out of the ordinary, she should know that the Wang family will definitely be uprooted.

Wang Wanjun will definitely not be happy, it is conceivable.Li Jing felt that he should remind her to keep her rational.Besides, Yu Youniang is not Wang Guiniang. Although Wang Guiniang used to be aggressive, but after all, she came from a humble background. When getting along with Wang Wanjun and other famous daughters, her morale will inevitably be weakened.But like Yu Youniang, she was born in a top wealthy family, and her natal family's influence even far exceeds that of the Wang family.

After Yu Youniang officially married in, Li Jing felt that she should transfer the power of the palace to Youniang, and let Xiao Yulou and Zhang Hui assist her. In this way, she should be able to suppress it.Although he was unwilling to face these trivial matters, if the house was restless, something would happen sooner or later, and Li Jing had to make arrangements early.

In history, there have been many heroic emperors, but in the end, because of the restlessness in the harem, there were accidents with the Communists, and finally the precedent of the collapse of the entire dynasty that had been built so hard.

When Li Jing left the small hall, the front yard of the palace was silent, and it was pitch black.The entire inner city of Yanjing is the Qin Palace. Although it is called a mansion on the surface, it is actually a large-scale inner city building complex. Li Rang has even proposed to change the inner city into a royal palace.However, it was rejected by Li Jing in the end, and yesterday Shang Shuxing asked for a proposal to build a new palace in the north of Youzhou City. Li Jing originally planned to oppose it, but everyone agreed. There can be a royal palace that represents status and prestige, so in the end this matter was put on the agenda.

However, within a year or two, the new palace cannot be built immediately, and Li Jing still has to use this inner city as the palace.

Zhao Jiang and Liu Zhijun and his brothers had been waiting in another flower hall for a long time.

"See you, Your Majesty!" The brothers Liu Zhijun and Liu Zhongfeng immediately knelt down and bowed when they saw Li Jing coming, very respectful.However, Li Jing noticed that compared with Liu Zhijun's respect, Liu Zhongfeng was obviously a little interesting. While he was kneeling, he quietly raised his head to look at Li Jing, just in time to meet Li Jing's gaze.

Li Jing smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously.

"I heard that Xixian is not yet thirty?"

Liu Zhijun hastily replied: "28 years in a humble job."

"Oh, I'm just 28 this year, so we're the same age. No wonder I feel so close to you at first sight." Li Jing said gently.

Liu Zhijun didn't expect that the well-known King of Qin, Li Jing, would be so kind and gentle, and he couldn't help but relax a lot.

Li Jing stepped forward and pulled Liu Zhijun to sit aside, and carefully looked at this member Zeng Yuanyu's memorial, which was said to be a deep and fierce Xuzhou general.He looks as tall as Li Jing, about 1.8 meters five. When he stands there, he is full of military temperament, standing like a loose seat and sitting like a bell.The voice is loud and loud.Moreover, the back of a tiger and waist of a wolf, arms naked, legs thick and powerful, thick eyebrows and big eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wide mouth and nose augmentation, make people want to call him a handsome handsome man when they see him.

What Li Jing admired even more was Liu Zhijun's ability. Before he arrived, the Supervision Office had already handed over Liu Zhijun's detailed details.He has courage and can draw a three-hundred-jin strong bow. Although he is from Xuzhou, he is good at equestrian skills.Moreover, not only did he step down immediately, but he also had the ability to fight in water.He can charge forward while riding a horse, and can make suggestions when camping. He is an all-around general, and he is still young, only 25 years old.

And has a good family background, Xuzhou big family Liu's children, Yunwen Yunwu.

However, he also has some bad comments, that is, this man is very strict in running the army, and he always acts according to the military law.Moreover, he is brave in fighting, but he is fierce in battle. He is fierce to his own people and even more fierce to the enemy. He suffers a lot of casualties in battle, and he likes to kill prisoners. Even if the opponent is willing to surrender, he will have to kill them before staying A small number of soldiers were captured.However, he was able to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, he was generous to his subordinates, and the rewards were clear, and he often distributed the rewards he got to the soldiers, so he was very popular among his subordinates.

This is a general. Although he has many shortcomings, he is generally a general who can fight and lead troops.

"Xixian, this king knows that you are a strong general, but some soldiers have reported that you have a hot temper. But in general, you are not a big talent. A strong general like you is exactly what this king needs. In this way, this king The king decided to reorganize the more than a thousand probation troops attached to Xuzhou, with them as the main force, supplemented by 5000 men and horses, and forming a new army, with you as the leader. The army name is Lie Wu, and the Lie Wu Army will temporarily station outside the city of Youzhou Reorganize the training, and this king will give you the title of clearing the way and commanding envoy."

Zhao Jiang said from the side: "Congratulations to General Liu, from now on you should call General Liu Kaidao."

Liu Zhijun was also very pleasantly surprised, he and Zhang Yun are both generals of Xuzhou.After Zhang Yun surrendered, he became the leader of Shenwu Army.And now he is not only the leader of the Liewu army, but also has to seal the commander of Kaidao, which obviously shows that King Qin values ​​him more.This clearing commander is not a real job, but a title similar to Yaya. Clearing the way commander is not a low title, which fully means that King Qin values ​​it.

Liu Zhijun thanked him loudly, and Li Jing waved him to get up.Then he turned his eyes to Liu Zhongfeng who had been secretly looking at him, "Tell me, what do you want, tell me, maybe I can help you realize it." He smiled at Liu Zhongfeng. After the Xuzhou War, Liu Zhongfeng took the lead on behalf of the Liu family Donated a lot of food and grass to the Jianghuai Qin army.Moreover, he also led his fleet to transport grain, grass and luggage for the Qin army, and helped repair Xuzhou. He performed well and had a great influence, so Li Jing met him specially this time.

"Really?" Liu Zhongfeng said excitedly, his eyes shining brightly, "If I make a wish, King Qin will help me realize it?"

"Of course, it must be within the scope of my king's ability." Li Jing smiled. He naturally knew that although Liu Zhongfeng looked young, he might immediately use the family's food to work for the army after the Xuzhou war, and took the lead to set an example, and even led him. It fully shows that this is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is a very smart person.For such a person, Li Jing doesn't have to worry that he will make too much demands.

Sure enough, Liu Zhongfeng bowed his hands and saluted: "I have a request to ask the king of Qin to agree to. I want to buy sea ships from the king of Qin, form an ocean-going caravan, and buy goods from Dengzhou to trade in the far-away kingdom of Taixi."

"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed loudly, this Liu Zhongfeng was indeed a straightforward and understanding person. "Well, this king agrees. You can take this king's handwriting to the shipyard in Dengzhou to buy the sea ship you want, and you can also get a discount. In addition, you can also buy it at any port in my Qin Dynasty. The goods you want. Moreover, this king will allow you to purchase a batch of weapons within the specified quantity to protect the business."

After a pause, Li Jing said again: "In order to reward you for what you did in Xuzhou, this king now specially confers on you the title of Commander of Kaihai. From now on, when you travel on the sea, as long as you use this banner, you will definitely have unexpected benefits. "

Now, Liu Zhongfeng, who had remained calm just now, finally couldn't help being moved.

Li Jing specially approved the handwriting for him, just to allow him to buy sea ships and sea goods conveniently.But if he has this title and banner, then he can suddenly become an official maritime merchant of the Qin Fan under the banner of King Qin from a private maritime merchant. The convenience and safety it can bring can be imagined.

With the official background given by the King of Qin, there is nothing to worry about when supplies stop along the way from the north to Jiaozhou.An official title and a banner are worth more than ten thousand taels of gold.

Li Jing was a little drunk at this time, and his body was extremely tired.

"Work hard, there is a lot to be done on the sea! Maybe one day, you will become a legendary sea merchant, and your name will become a legend that countless people say! If, on that day, will you still remember today?"

"Will my name become a legend?" Liu Zhongfeng's young face was full of shock and longing, and he murmured: "If there is a day, this legend will always obey the orders of the King of Qin!"

Maybe, Liu Zhongfeng!However, Li Jing believed that even if Liu Zhongfeng really could become a legendary sea merchant one day, at that time, Li Jing would make Liu Zhongfeng still maintain the respect he has for him today!

Go, Liu Zhongfeng, your journey is the sea.And my journey is this world! (To be continued.)
