Chapter 373: Replacement of the Pole

Li Qing's mansion is still in the old house in Xuanyifang. His former family and slaves have been dispersed. Now most of the rooms are living in soldiers. His family and a few servants brought from Anxi live in a courtyard in the back garden. There is nothing we can do about this. Li Qing offended too many people, and his family must implement the most stringent protection.

When Li Qing returned to his mansion, it was already dark, the entire street was empty, and there was no pedestrian. The Yang Guozhong's house, which had been lined up in a long line of vehicles opposite him, was also pitch black at this time, and had already changed his owner. Now it is the new house of the Secretary of Military Affairs Wei Jiansu, but Wei Jiansu had not had time to move in.

Li Qing's pace began to speed up. He had not seen his family, wife, daughter, son, Xiaoyu, and Li Jingyan for nearly half a year. When Li Qing thought of Li Jingyan, he felt excited. It was not for her, but for her children. After the autumn, Li Jingyan gave birth to a pair of twins, which turned out to be twins, a boy and a girl. According to Liang'er's letter, they all looked very much like him, which surprised and happy Li Qing. This was inheriting the genes of his Li family. His father was twins, but he didn't expect that he would go one step further and actually twins.

After entering the mansion, no housekeeper came up to greet him. Only two rows of soldiers stood straight. Walking in, there was no sign of a maid or servant. There were still teams of soldiers patrolling each other. Occasionally, a few soldiers carrying crossbows suddenly appeared from a corner, which made Li Qing very depressed. This place was not home, it was clearly a military camp.

When I walked to the backyard, I barely saw a maid greeting me. This was his wife Zhao Lian's personal maid. She had been with her for many years, so Li Qing knew her, but she was not happy to see her, and her face seemed a little sad. Li Qing's heart tightened. Don't have something happened at home.

"Qingju, is there something wrong at home? Why do you look like this?" He looked back and asked nervously: "Where is Madam! Why didn't she come to pick me up?"

"Young Master! You're back, Sister Lian'er has been ill for three days." Li Qing looked up and saw Xiaoyu coming hurriedly. She was twenty-five years old this year. The beautiful and beautiful Xiaoyu in the past has disappeared. She is now another kind of beauty, tall and plump, with a lazy smile in her expression. But today she is very anxious. Sister Lian'er was just a cold, but after a few days, her condition gradually worsened. She kept coughing and coughing blood. She hired many famous doctors. Most people said that this was probably a problem in the lungs, which was caused by the invasion of cold air.

Li Qing rarely saw Xiaoyu so anxious. He didn't want to ask any more questions. He spread his legs and ran into the room. The door was not closed, leaving a crack. Through the crack, his daughter was holding a small porcelain bowl and feeding her mother medicine spoon by spoon. Seeing her daughter's weak and sensible back, Li Qing's nose couldn't help but feel sore, and his eyes gradually turned red. He had fought around in recent years and owed too much to his family.

Li Qing slowly pushed open the door, and his wife's thin and pale face appeared in front of him. She was lying on the bed, gently stroked her daughter's hair with one hand, and looked at her gently.

Suddenly, the mother and daughter turned around and looked at the door. Only her husband and father were standing at the door with a smile on their faces, but tears flashed in their eyes.

"Li Lang, you are finally back!" Lian'er struggled to sit up, and he used too much force and coughed into a ball. Li Tingyue grinned at her father and cried while hurriedly pounding her mother's back.

Li Qing felt a pain in his heart. He picked up his daughter and sat next to his wife. While pressing her cheek against her little face, he gently beat his wife's back. After a while, the curtain slowly stopped coughing. She forced a smile, reached out to wipe away the tears from her husband's face, and complained: "Look at you! The right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty actually cried like a child. The soldiers outside knew about it. Wouldn't you laugh at you?"

Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile, unable to say a word. At this time, Li Tingyue brought the medicine bowl to his father, "The medicine is almost cold, please feed it to your mother!"

Li Qing took the little bowl and kissed his daughter in the face, "This is Dad's good daughter, and Dad will not be separated from you again in the future."

"Li Lang should not make promises easily, Yueyue remembers it!" Lian'er patted her daughter's face and asked her to go to bed first. However, Li Tingyue looked at her father in obsession, obviously not wanting to leave. Li Qing touched her little head and smiled, "Go! What Dad said this time is true, and he will not be separated from you again."

After getting my father's promise, Li Tingyue went reluctantly. As soon as her daughter left, the curtain seemed to have become a different person. She looked straight at Li Qing, suddenly threw herself into his arms, and cried sadly, "Li Lang, I may be dying, what should I do if the child!"

Li Qing hugged her tightly and shook her head firmly and said, "No! You have always been in good health. Maybe it was because you fell into the root of the disease when you went to Dayuan to reward the army last winter. As long as you take care of yourself, you will never have any trouble. Please try to ask less about the affairs in the mansion in the future. Leave it to Jingyan and Xiaoyu, and you can rest assured to recuperate."

The husband's strong arms and firm words are undoubtedly the best medicine. The curtain'er cried and smiled, and she simply lay in her husband's arms like a girl, stretching out her hand to touch his beard from time to time. Suddenly she remembered something and said to Li Qing: "Jingyan has given birth to a child, so you should give her a title. Although she never mentioned it, she is a princess, how can she be a concubine? It's a puppet, and you can think of it. I remember you once said that An Lushan has a second wife. Now you have great power. Who dares to say about you in this small matter?"

Li Qing nodded silently. This matter was indeed a small matter for him now, but the son she gave birth to was involved in his own big matter. He served his wife to bed and asked Xiaoyu to serve the marquis aside. Then he said in Yan'er's ear: "I'll go see the twin brothers and sisters, and I'll come back to accompany you tonight."

Lian'er reluctantly held Li Qing's hand and smiled, "If Xiaoyu is with me tonight, you can stay with Jingyan! Come here again tomorrow."

Li Qing nodded, reminded Xiaoyu a few more words, and then he went there. In fact, Li Jingyan lived aside, only two rooms separated by, but she didn't want to disturb Li Qing and Lian'er's reunion, so she didn't come.

After giving birth to two children at once, Li Jingyan obviously gained a lot of weight, which really had the charm of a ladies in Tang paintings. When Li Qing was seen, Li Jingyan was very happy and ordered her wet nurse to carry the child.

The two children are still in their infancy, less than two months old, and are sleeping sweetly and have a chubby little rosy face. Li Qing held one in one hand and looked at his children lovingly.

"Li Lang, the girl's crying loudly and thickly, but the boy's voice was soft and a little upside down." Seeing that Li Qing liked these two children, a stone gradually fell to the ground. She said again: "Girl, I'll name her Li Wan, this boy needs you to name him."

"Call Li Yi!" Li Qing said lightly. He had already thought of this name when he was in Luoyang. He looked at Li Jingyan and repeated again: "Call Li Yi, Yi Xing Ruifei's 'Yi'."

"Li Yi?" Li Jingyan read it twice, and she suddenly reacted, "Li Lang, isn't this the name of the royal family?"

Li Qing nodded gently but did not continue. Seeing that her husband's expression was a little solemn, Li Jingyan thought he was worried about the matter of Yan'er, so she ordered the wet nurse to take the child away. She sat next to Li Qing, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and comforted him: "We have hired many famous doctors, all of which say that the eldest sister's illness is just difficult to break the roots. It will attack every autumn and winter. It just needs to be maintained with good medicine, but it will not ruin your life. Although the poor family can't afford it, our family has a great cause, and this is not a problem. No matter how much you care about her on weekdays, the eldest sister will be in a good mood, and nothing will happen!"

"I know, I will not be separated from you again in the future!"

Li Qing smiled, gently lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Li Jingyan was fascinated for a moment. She stretched out her jade arm and hugged her husband's neck, and took the initiative to send her fragrant lips. Li Qing hugged her tightly and turned off the lamp.

The night was dark and the family was already asleep. Li Qing was lying on the head of the bed, looking at the roof with his eyes wide open. He couldn't fall asleep. He was thinking about something big. He had been thinking about this for more than ten days. Although he had made up his mind, how to speak to Li Jingyan was what made him feel a headache.

Li Qing looked down at Li Jingyan. She was sleeping sweetly. Her black hair covered her white porcelain face. Li Qing reached out to push her hair away, stared at her for a moment, sighed gently, turned over and got out of the bed, slowly walked to the window, pushed the window open, and a fresh and chilled wind rushed towards her.

He looked up at the stars in the sky. It has been nearly ten years since he entered Beijing in the third year of Tianbao to today. He finally got to this day step by step. He has taken over the power and controlled the government of the entire Tang Dynasty. It is time for him to make great achievements. Although An Lushan's rebellion has brought pain to countless people, it also dealt a heavy blow to the Tang Dynasty. The major interest groups that were originally deeply rooted collapsed and were about to collapse. It was the time to carry out a series of reforms.

Li Qing always believed that the root cause of the decline, demise, and even weakening Song for a hundred years was the separatist vassal states formed after the Anshi Rebellion. The essence of separatist vassal states was the battle between the local governments and the central government. The demise of Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and Qing were all the result of sharp conflicts between the local governments and the courts. Therefore, avoiding the emergence of separatist vassal states in the middle Tang Dynasty and establishing a powerful central government is the top priority now.

Although the development and evolution of history have its own laws, Li Qing only needs to touch it at the most critical point, and the history of China's gradually declining in later generations can be completely changed.

Now, he needs to have absolute power for a long time before his reforms can be implemented smoothly.

Just as Li Qing looked at the sky with all kinds of thoughts, a pair of white arms hugged his waist, and then a soft body was pressed on his back, "It's so late, why haven't you sleep?"

Li Qing didn't say anything. He stared at the night sky and then slowly said, "Isn't your elder brother childless? I will adopt Yi'er to him, are you willing?"

"What did you say!" Li Jingyan was shocked and her sleepiness disappeared. She turned to Li Qing, stared at him in disbelief, and asked hesitantly: "Do you want to give my child to the eldest brother?"

Li Qing nodded solemnly, "I have been thinking about it for half a month. This matter is of great importance and is not a joke!"

"No!" Li Jingyan shook his head desperately, "He is my child. Even if my elder brother doesn't give it to me, no one can take Yi'er away from me!"

"Yingyan, things are not as bad as you think. Please listen to me to explain it to you."

Li Qing put her waist on her waist and sat on the head of the bed, whispering to her: "Yi'er adopted you to your elder brother is just nominally leaving this name in the records of the royal family, so that he will naturally become the legitimate heir of King Ning. After a while, our whole family will move to the Ning Wang Mansion. Yi'er is actually still by your side. Besides, your father has no grandson, which has been trapped in him for many years. If this happens, his grandson will become a grandson, and he will be ecstatic, and you have calculated your filial piety."

"This..." Li Jingyan was a little shaken. The eldest brother had no children, and the second brother was idle and refused to marry a wife and started a family. She also knew that her father had been worried about the queen. Although Li Qing's method was also feasible, the child would no longer call her mother in the future, which made her unable to accept it. Thinking of this, her eyes turned red and she said in a trembling voice: "Li Lang, but he will not call me mother in the future, but called her aunt. How can I bear this? Is there no other way?"
