Chapter 677 Riverside (4)

After Yu Chi and others were sent away, Li Po first walked twice around the tent. It is said that if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you can live ninety-nine times.

He didn't dare to think about ninety-nine. If he really lived to that old age, how many people might be gnashing their teeth in hatred?

Of course, if you can really live to that time, it also means that Li Yuan, Xiao Xian, and Dou Jiande have been dead for a long time. It's quite good to think about it, isn't it?

After walking enough, I returned to the big tent. According to the habit I have developed these days, I have to spend my evening time to deal with the official correspondence sent from Jinyang.

The appointment and dismissal of personnel there is still in progress. It is not at a standstill because the King of Han is away. The people he appointed are doing their best. From these official letters, we can feel some of the vitality of Jinyang's officialdom, which is rising.

The forces in the early period generally have such characteristics.

The autumn harvest is being prepared everywhere. Because he attaches great importance to it, almost every official letter will mention it. Almost everything is making way for the autumn harvest intentionally or unintentionally. The daily drills of the garrison in various places have also stopped, ready to help at any time.

Farmers harvest crops.

In the past two years, the spring plowing and autumn harvest in Jin are more like fighting a crucial battle. It can be said that Li Po has successfully stuffed the information into the officials that spring plowing and autumn harvest are extremely important, extremely important, extremely important.

In his mind, once the Spring and Autumn Festival arrived, the officials began to act instinctively without him having to say anything.

This made Li Po feel very satisfied. Food is more important than anything else. Without food, there would be no curse...

When Li Po felt that it was almost done, he picked up the private message sent by his mother-in-law and read it. This also meant that he was going to bed and did not want to let those tedious business affairs occupy his sleep.

The letters written by Li Bi are generally not very long, and they do not contain any romantic words, or talk about the pain of lovesickness. She is actually similar to Li Po, and neither of them is a loving person.

It was just that the little one at home started to enter a lively and active period, which made Li Bi a little irritated. He complained a few times in the letter, but Li Po laughed it off. The nobles had actually taken a huge advantage in raising children.

This woman is not satisfied yet, she needs to be taught a lesson when she goes back.

And where did it come from? It won't be a problem until the little cub grows up.

The few sentences at the end of the trustworthy note made Li Po frown slightly.

"Xiaochun often visits the palace and is very close to the queen. Some time ago, someone reported that the queen frequently inquires about her husband's background and does not know what her motives are..."

Putting down the letter, Li Po thought for a while, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Not to mention that he was now the king of Han and had full wings. Even if someone found out something was wrong, what would happen? Moreover, as long as the queen did not collude with foreign ministers to revive the Sui Dynasty,

room, others can be tolerated as much as possible.

Then he picked up the pen and wanted to write a reply. After hesitating for a while, he put the pen down again, thinking that he was almost back, so there was no need to waste this pen and ink, right?

Of course, he would not admit that every time he wrote a reply to his wife, he was always scratching his head to think of words. It was not that he had nothing to say, but the problem of how to put what he wanted to say into words.

Even though his mother-in-law had given birth to a baby, she was still more aggressive than before. Now at the beginning of the letter, she either laughed at his bad grammar or laughed at his poor penholder. This really made Li Po very angry, but he couldn't let it go.

There is no need to mention the discomfort of having someone write for you.

Well, it’s a little game between husband and wife, but this time Li Po is completely at a disadvantage. In recent years, he has been away fighting almost every year, and he is also burdened with mundane affairs. It is really impossible to study. The most he can do is read a few military books.

, nothing else can be taken into consideration.

It's just that his handwriting is much better than before, but compared with those guys who have been holding pens since childhood, what he writes is impossible to read.

Fortunately, no one dares to force him to talk about books and paintings. The lower his literary quality, the lower his literary quality. At most, he will be laughed at by his own mother-in-law. Outsiders... well, whoever dares to talk too much, His Highness the King of Han will definitely let him.

He knew that sometimes the lower the literary literacy, the more terrifying the person.

Seeing that his mother-in-law was in good spirits, Li Po said he was "pleased", so he stood up, stretched out, and prepared to go to bed. At this time, his own soldiers came to report, and Shen Qingnu tied up his subordinates and asked to see him outside.

"Call in."

Li Po became a little more interested and hoped that this guy who had been a beggar in Luoyang could bring a comedy. If it was a tragedy, it would be too disappointing.

This shows that he has a general idea of ​​Shen Qingnu's purpose of coming. Of course, all the previous Henan surrendered generals have gone somewhere, but Shen Qingnu was left alone and was thrown away without asking.

On the side, it actually explains the problem.

It can be said that Li Po values ​​​​some of this person's characteristics, but he doesn't know much about this person's temperament and talents, so he can only show it first. If this person is an idiot, then there is no need to say anything.

If you struggle fiercely, you can probably get under the knife edge, so there's no need to bother.

If this person knows how to measure and shows his intelligence, well, then he might as well put it to use.

In other words, the beggar army was a joke in Li Po's eyes. It had no place at all. Only in a mess like Henan could such a monster appear.

You can ask the beggars on the streets of Jinyang to form a beggar army... If they can form a beggar gang, they are considered capable.

It goes without saying that Li Po doesn't like Shen Qingnu. Compared with those arrogant nobles, Li Po always wants to kick him up and crush him under his feet. Li Po doesn't like Shen Qingnu.

I don't like beggars or underworld leaders, not to mention that Shen Qingnu is a combination of the two.

Begging is the last resort for people to make a living. Except for those swindlers and the bald people who turned to begging as a spiritual practice, the people begging on the streets have actually given up everything they can in their hearts. They are a group in despair, and once the beggars

If there are too many, it not only shows the problems in the world, but also shows the incompetence of those in power.

Therefore, no matter before or now, Li Po would not be interested in any beggar army.

And the underworld... is naturally on the opposite side, there is nothing to say... Later generations may like to talk about those reckless heroes with wide connections, but no one can change their nature and their methods of amassing money and reputation.

In the late Sui Dynasty, the rebel leaders who were able to gather people in the countryside all had this kind of color. By now, most of them were dead. Those who survived by chance had almost all obtained an official position, just like that.

Like Shen Qingnu...

After entering the big tent, the skinny Shen Qingnu no longer had any surly aura. He firmly tied the bamboo roots there, spread out the bamboo branches, punched the tightly tied Shen Fan to the ground, and then folded himself down.

.

"The general will pay homage to the king..."

"What is General Shen doing?" Li Po poked his head, wanting to see which unlucky guy Shen Qingnu had tied up, but this guy on the ground looked like an unknown person, and Li Po couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"The general's control is not strict, and one of his subordinates has an affair with a woman in the camp. It is extremely embarrassing, and I ask the king to punish him." Shen Qingnu said it seriously and seriously.

Li Po touched his chin and looked at this person, thinking that you are really good at being funny. You have come up with such a trivial thing to see me. You can't think of it.

"General Shen is saying that he is not strict in running the army, and one of his subordinates secretly went to meet the woman..." At this point, Li Po couldn't help but laugh, "Then how should I punish you?"

Unlike those who were frightened and trembling as soon as they came in front of Li Po, Shen Qingnu straightened up and started to laugh, but his smile was... How should I put it? Anyway, Shen Fan, who was lying on the ground, glanced at it, as if It felt like someone punched him in the stomach, making him have some desire to vomit.

It turns out that the military leader that everyone respected and feared could laugh so... disgustingly... Shen Fan seemed to have just remembered that this military leader had also been a beggar, and had been trying to please people on the street like him. food.

How did the beggars laugh? Shen Fan almost forgot, but their military leader obviously did not forget his ability to look after the house. His smile was so humble and full of flattery. He was indeed worthy of being the beggar. The elite among beggars, just one smile can make people feel many different feelings.

Li Po's scalp was numb, and he thought to himself, you smile so ugly, Yun Dingxing will probably admire you when he sees you, "Just say what you have to say, this kind of trick is just cheap, so don't use it in the future."

Shen Qingnu's smile suddenly became brighter. It would be nice to have a future, but I'm afraid you don't want people like us to have a future.

"Your Majesty, the general is not just bothering the king with such trivial matters. There are many women in the camp, and the camp is full of vigorous men. It is inevitable that some sneaky people will do scandals. The general He is not very talented, but he has good ears and eyes, and he is willing to take care of the refugee camp for the king. I hope the king sees that the general has been obedient before and has made some achievements, so he agrees to the general's request."

Shen Qingnu has a very simple concept. Since he cannot be reused and is about to become a bachelor, it is better to find something to do first and then think of other ways slowly. Only those who have endured hardship can be so resilient.

Only people with no big ambitions can be so easily arranged. Of course, for people like Shen Qingnu, if you give him some dye, he will definitely be able to open a workshop for you.

"Isn't this... too humiliating?"

"Unyielding... Your Majesty, you have never seen my ability to guard the door..."

Li Po finally laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "There are not many interesting people these days, but you are one of them. Well, there is no need to joke. You can follow me back to Jinyang in a few days. I have other appointments, and you can rest assured." Just wait and go."

Shen Qingnu was a little confused, and then he was overjoyed. He jumped up and beat his chest and thanked him repeatedly. For fear that His Highness the King of Han would regret it, he turned around and slipped out of the tent, just like he did after begging for something good.

Only Shen Fan was left lying on the ground, wanting to cry but without tears. He huddled up into a ball and said in a sobbing tone: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I can also guard the door..."
