Let's talk about it, it was getting late, Li Ya and Huang You were both flattered to receive such a reception.
I was still trembling with fear at first. Back then, Li Canjun, the general of Heng'an Town Army, the marching commander of Daizhou, and the King of Han became the emperor. This step was a bit big. Even if I had done a lot of psychological construction before, it was difficult to adapt.
The majestic palace city and the majestic palaces undoubtedly aggravated this emotion. Even if the two country bumpkins had already achieved enlightenment, their true colors were revealed when they arrived in the imperial city of Chang'an.
After just drinking some wine and talking about some past things, the two gradually regained some familiar feelings and started laughing.
Speaking of which, Huang You was an anomaly among them. He was very talkative back then, and like the others, he was illiterate and couldn't read a word.
Chen Sanlang was born into a wealthy family in Mayi, and now he is serving as Sima of the Daizhou Governor's Office, so he has the foundation to join the army.
Huang You was different. After returning from Liaodong, he actively responded to Li Po's literacy activities. He had actually read a lot of books over the years. Otherwise, he would not have become the Magistrate of Mayi County. The County Lieutenant might still be able to aspire to it.
In the Manna Hall, two chickens and dogs answered Li Po's questions, telling Li Po the changes in his "hometown" and where his friends from the old days went.
……………………
Li Po was also very happy. The good life of his old subordinates showed that he, the leader, had not failed them and did not lead them to death.
In fact, he did not deliberately promote these people. When they followed him, he was still in a humble position. Although the people he led were men who dared to fight and kill, most of them were not worthy of mention in terms of talent.
.
But as his status became more and more prominent, their worth increased invisibly. As long as they were still alive, their qualifications would naturally be higher than others, just like those who went to Liaodong with him.
The most unattractive person now is a school captain.
The two people in front of me are typical examples. They came from miserable backgrounds, but now they have become nothing more than human beings. How can one say that if one person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven?
……………………
After half-drinking, Queen Li Bi also heard the news in the inner court. If she had not been pregnant, she would have come out to see her at this time.
She stayed in Mayi for many years and even got married in Yunnei. Her feelings for that place were also extraordinary, so she ordered Wang Qi to lead the palace song and dance troupe to cheer for the two lucky guys.
Kind regards from the Queen.
The two of them were overjoyed and thanked each other again and again. It was like they were addicted to listening to songs and watching dances in the palace.
At the end of the day, Li Po said to them, "You two should go back to Mayi. Next year or the year after, I may have an alliance with the Turkic Khan. The place is either in Mayi or Dingxiang."
You should prepare carefully over there, but don’t make it public...
Alas, it has been a few years since I left there. Even if there is no alliance, I still want to take the time to go back and have a look. People often say that if you don't return wealth to your hometown, you will walk at night like fine clothes.
When I become emperor, if I can't go back and see how my parents are doing in my hometown, wouldn't it be boring to be an emperor? Don't you think so?"
Li Ya and Li Ya were already a little drunk. They heard that they could not go to the northwest with the army, but they were not very disappointed. In fact, even if they were not drunk, the emperor always said what he said. They never knew how to refute, even if Li Po said at this time that the earth is
If it is round, they will also say that we should try to take a spin on behalf of the Supreme Being.
This is the group of people that Li Po brought with him when he started his business. As long as they come in front of Li Po, they will obey orders and not have too many other ideas.
Huang You nodded his big head repeatedly, "What the Supreme Being said is that there are many old brothers staying in Mayi and Yanmen, and they are also looking forward to seeing you again day and night. When we led the troops and set off, everyone asked
We sent a message to the Supreme Being, but there were too many people, so I couldn’t remember it clearly, so I could only say hello to the Supreme Being on their behalf.
It would be great if the Supreme Being could go back in person..."
He is still as rude as before, but he has been an official for a long time and is not as rude as before.
Li Ya didn't even say anything, he never put down the wine cup. Turks really love drinking. At this time, he added: "Yes, yes, I will take those Turkic brats to kowtow to the master."
Li Po smiled and said to himself that those Turks were captured slaves, why kowtow to him? Then something moved in his heart, Henan was empty, so why not move some Turks to Henan...
However, he was immediately rejected by himself. It was indeed not safe for the Turkic tribes within to stay in the border area, but they were one of the main sources of cavalry.
If you move them to Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places to farm, they may indeed be assimilated in a few years. After all, there are not many people. But if you carefully calculate the pros and cons, it seems that the disadvantages still outweigh the advantages.
With a large number of cavalry, he could compete with the Turks. He couldn't imitate those fools, who simply broke the knife just to prevent himself from being cut by the steel knife.
In fact, he wanted to talk to the two people and ask them not to hug each other too tightly in the north... But then he thought about it, it was not necessary. Take Mayi as an example, almost all the key positions are now in charge of the old people.
.
If you tell them not to stick together, they won't stick together? Unless they are all transferred away, but in that case, it may not be a good thing for the Mayi frontier.
So, everyone has his or her own blessings. I hope they know their limits and don’t join forces to resist.
……………………
The moon went up to the railing and drove the two drunken guys out of the palace. Meeting them once in private was the limit. If they were allowed to stay in the palace again, they might not be able to brag about it when they got back.
Li Po understands the principle that going too far is not equal, and he also has some intention to protect them. Well, I guess the two guys can't understand it...
Li Po was in a good mood and took advantage of the moonlight to stroll back to the inner court.
Wang Qi was by his side. Li Po thought of Wang Cong and asked, "Your grandfather just died of illness. Did someone ask you to go back to attend his funeral?"
He couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness, but she tilted her head, presumably to observe the emperor's face. She pondered for a while before softly replying: "There are many elders and brothers in the family, so there is no need for me to do anything."
, Your Majesty wants me to go back to Jinyang for a visit?"
Li Po said: "Your grandfather held the position of Jinyang clan leader for more than 20 years. I forced him to step down. Now that he is dead, your father and brothers and uncles have written to me asking me to allow them to go back to attend the funeral.
Most of them were rejected by me, which was indeed a bit unkind.
You are Zhaoyi in the palace, so you should go back and visit for them."
Wang Qi was obviously shocked when she heard this, and then she thought about more. The Wang family in Jinyang was not as good as before. She knew better than anyone what it meant that her father brought some of the Wang family's children with the army to Chang'an.
After a few years, the Chang'an Wang family may be the main branch of the Wang family, and the Jinyang side is the ancestral home of the Chang'an Wang family. Many big families in the world were like this, and it was not unusual for them to keep branching off.
But the Wang family is still a little different. The head of the clan is planning to establish a new family. The blow to the old house is self-evident. When her father left Jinyang, many people in the clan complained about it. Now it is settled.
There were only more complaints there.
If she goes back... Thinking of the faces of her elders, Wang Qi immediately starts to have a headache. Then she will definitely hear some miscellaneous nonsense, most of which are about favors or excessive requests.
It affects their group's reputation in Jinyang.
Therefore, she did not want to go back, but she did not dare to say the word filial piety in front of her.
"The supreme meaning is..."
Li Po smiled and turned to look at her. He seemed reluctant to hear this. Didn't he say that people in this world put filial piety first?
So the tricky words came immediately, "If you don't want to, forget it... After all, the road is quite far, and it's not convenient for you as a woman to come and go.
Moreover, it was your grandfather who forced you to come to my house back then, and he suffered a lot of grievances, and to say the least, he was very sorry for you."
Sure enough, Wang Qi became anxious when he heard it, "What did the Supreme say? I have no grievance at all. Being able to serve the Supreme, I always feel that it is a blessing from my previous life..."
"So you don't want to go out for a walk?"
Wang Qi was not stupid. At this moment, he knew that the emperor was teasing him, and he couldn't help but said helplessly: "If I return to my hometown, I will not go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
Li Po said: "Since you are not traveling around the mountains and rivers, how about hunting for the sky?"
Wang Qi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me. I am not a minister of the court. If I go hunting on behalf of heaven..."
Speaking of this, her laughter couldn't help but get louder, and then she felt that something was wrong. The conversation was about going to the funeral for her grandfather. It didn't matter that she wasn't the least bit sad, but she actually started laughing. It was really unfilial.
Regardless of this, Li Po raised his hand and touched her head, feeling the smooth hair and the momentary stiffness, and laughed.
"You used to be my reporter, and you are no different from those people. This time when you go out, I will give you a few things. The first one is that Uncle Xue has passed away. Please go and have a look for me. His home is in Hedong.
, just drop by for a visit.
He was different from your grandfather. He was a man of decent integrity and made great contributions to the stability of Jinyang and even the two states. Therefore, I feel very sorry for his death. Please go and pay homage to him on my behalf.
, to show his posthumous glory.
Secondly, Jinyang Academy is under preparation. Go check it out. Although Chang'an Academy is not very good, it has a lot of experience to learn from. If there is anything wrong there, just tell them.
Talk about it."
The emperor's intimate behavior made Wang Qi a little confused, but he already had some experience. He lowered his head with a red face, and the next words came to his ears intermittently. He didn't know the year and month...
Li Po saw that she was silent and asked, "What? Are you really unwilling to travel far away?"
