"This matter has not been decided yet, but it will definitely be selected. Once Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei are settled, maybe there will be a selection. I don't have anything to do with it. It's just that the ministers outside attach great importance to this.
I don't want to argue with them over trivial matters. I talk to them in a long way. Maybe I talk to them too much, which is not appropriate. I talk to them too little, and they feel that they are not taken seriously, which is very troublesome.
So it’s up to you to decide. Don’t worry too much about your family background, appearance, talents and other things. Give priority to good character. Otherwise, as time goes by, you and I will be troubled by the intrigues.
Again, I am here outside, and you have to take care of the house. People say that when the family is in harmony, everything will be prosperous. I agree very much. Although everyone says that the emperor has no family affairs, in the end it is still our family’s business and it is not the turn of outsiders.
Come and be talkative.
Just do it. If someone feels unambiguous and wants to get something out of the way, I don't mind sending him to Dali Temple for a year and a half."
After the anger was gone, the conversation between the couple became normal. Li Po's words were the same as when he was the King of Han, and he left everything at home to Li Bi with confidence.
Li Bi is the person he trusts the most. He has led troops before, so it should be easy to manage the people in the harem.
Li Bi's face was red. She had just competed with her husband again. She was in a good mood because she had the upper hand. Moreover, when her husband talked about people, he was particularly good at making people happy, just like when he was angry, he could always make people happy.
Find out what you want to hear or what you don't want to hear.
Otherwise, Li Yuan's daughter would not have been coaxed into living here for so many years, and even the revenge for killing her father would have been forgotten.
He was thinking in a mess, but he smiled and said: "I can't control anything. The draft is a national matter, and there are many people who want to control it... But since your husband believes in me, don't complain if you are not satisfied afterward."
Li Po said casually: "What can I be dissatisfied with? As long as you don't deliberately choose ugly ones to enter the palace."
Li Bi smiled even more happily, "That's not possible. I know that your husband likes strong women, so I must choose a few big-bodied and round-waisted ones. My husband will definitely be satisfied."
Li Po refused to accept this trick, "Then I have to be more careful in the future. If the emperor is beaten by a group of people in the harem, wouldn't it be a big scandal to the world?"
Li Bi laughed and laughed. Li Po looked at her and felt that she shouldn't be so proud, but if he pissed her off again, he couldn't resist it, so he could only give up with regret.
Li Bi smiled almost, wiped her eyes, and said: "Don't worry, I know what kind of women your husband likes. Those who are stupid will definitely not be suitable, and those who are too smart will also be annoyed. Only those who talk
Only those who are interesting and behave in a measured manner can attract the attention of their husbands.
It's just that a woman like that is rare to meet but cannot be sought after. Once she appears in the palace, shouldn't I be uneasy and have a lot of worries?"
Before Li Po could answer, she muttered again, "Just like Li Sanniang, I would rather she was outside and we all got a bad reputation than come to the palace..."
Li Po raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "It's my fault, but you are too worried... We, a young couple, have known each other for many years. You should know that I am not the kind of person who likes the new and hates the old.
Besides, our husband and wife have become one person for a long time, even if I become the emperor, it has never changed. If you are worried about this and that, why not think about making her a wife? "
Li Bi nodded. She never doubted her husband's affection for her. During the expedition to Liaodong, they traveled thousands of miles and shared life and death together. The love between husband and wife cannot be summed up in a simple sentence.
But saying that a man is lustful is not just talk. Otherwise, the husband would not leave the palace from time to time to visit Mrs. Chengguo's house and stay one night at Li Sanniang's house.
She can still control the women in the palace now, but it's hard to say in the future. If someone like Li Sanniang appears, she will have to keep a close eye on them and not give them any chance to take advantage of them.
Of course, this is what the couple is good about. They trust each other and can talk about everything openly and honestly without leaving any grudges.
After talking for a while, the matter of the draft was settled, and with Li Bi's approval, the outside world could spread the word and prepare to start the first draft of the new dynasty next spring.
Rich relatives like the Dou family and the Dugu family will definitely be very happy, but it is a little regrettable that no matter how good their family background is, they will not be able to occupy such an important position as the fourth concubine, but the ninth concubine can still aspire to it.
In addition, the mistress of the palace was in her prime of youth, very powerful, and respected by the emperor, so there was no hope of replacing her.
……………………
"My father has been away for a long time, and he has made great contributions. When will I call him back... He is getting older, and he is still so obsessed with his career. There is really nothing we can do against him."
Speaking of her old father, Li Bi sighed helplessly.
Li Jing was a "late bloomer" and gradually became more important when he attacked Li Xiaogong in Shuzhong. By the time he defeated Liu Hongji and then captured Kuizhou, his status was equal to that of Zhang Lun and others.
After leaving Shu, he defeated Xiao Xian and made many military exploits. As the emperor's father-in-law, he quickly gained power over the generals and was entrusted with important responsibilities by Li Po.
Li Jing no longer betrayed Li Po's trust as before. During the battle to attack Changsha and pacify Shannan, he gradually became a famous general.
When to advance, when to retreat, when to suppress, and when to caress, it was all clearly figured out, as if someone suddenly changed.
If he wasn't too far away and Li Bi wanted to take a look in person, would he still be his father?
But no matter what achievements Li Jing had outside, after all, he was old, and as a daughter, she was also worried about his shortcomings outside. Especially after Huang Pu Wuyi passed away, Li Bi immediately thought of her father.
Li Po didn't understand her thoughts for a while, and thought she was joking, so he smiled and said: "Teacher definitely doesn't want to come back. It's not like you haven't tasted what it's like to be on your own. You have the power, you are powerful, you are independent, what a wonderful life it is."
.
What's the point of returning to Chang'an? The emperor is suppressing you from above, and your colleagues are pointing fingers below, so what's the point?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After hearing this, Li Bi was shocked. Looking at her husband's expression, it didn't seem like he meant anything, and he suddenly became angry again. Can he say this casually? I don't know.
She thought her father wanted to rebel outside.
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call father back as soon as possible to avoid changes over time?" Li Bi also started to feel weird.
When Li Po heard that her tone was wrong, he rolled his eyes and smacked his mouth, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.
But what a thief he was. Dang Ji slammed the table and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Teacher is working hard outside, regardless of life and death, reputation, reputation, diligent in royal affairs, and has made many meritorious deeds. You are the queen and the daughter of the teacher, how can you
Easily slander him?
If outsiders hear about it, maybe they will start to stir up trouble. Once the teacher and I have suspicions, have you thought about the consequences?"
Seeing that he seemed really annoyed and that he spoke so harshly, Li Bi became timid. She squeezed her eyes and wrinkled her nose, trying to make herself feel aggrieved, but ultimately failed.
He had no choice but to lower his head and mutter: "I didn't say anything..."
Li Po watched her wink for a long time, thinking she was going to fight again, and couldn't help but panic, but in the end she bowed her head and gave in, and was finally relieved.
"You don't have to mutter. The teacher will have to stay in Jiangling for at least one to two years. If Du Fuwei is pacified, the teacher will also need to lead Jiangnan. When Jiangnan is more stable, we can call the teacher back.
, the position can also be arranged easily, and the future appearance and general appearance can be done as he pleases.
Well, I won’t hide it from you. The reason why I trust him so much is because he is your father and my teacher. With this friendship, there should be no dissent.
Then there's his age. Hehe, he shouldn't have too many ambitions anymore, right?
And based on the teacher’s virtue, what else can I not trust?”
Li Bi's momentum had subsided, and she nodded repeatedly, not knowing why the focus of the topic became whether her father was trustworthy or not.
After successfully coaxing the tigress, he asked how his son was doing. He only remembered that his son had broken the head of Dou Dan's son a few days ago, which was a bit outrageous.
You must know that his father had not even fucked Dou Dan, but his son did it first. It was really unseemly.
Li Yuan's academic progress was a bit slow. After studying for such a long time, the enlightenment was almost over. That is to say, when he had a brief knowledge of writing and could memorize two enlightenment articles and several poems, he was good enough.
Aristocratic families set different rules for the enlightenment of their children based on their status, civil and military status, etc.
Li Yuan was taught by a famous teacher, had no worries about food and clothing, had complete textbooks, and was exposed to such excellent environment and conditions. It took him a year and a half to get the teacher's approval.
Either he is stupid by nature, or he has no ambition to make progress. Well, it is obviously the latter.
This gave the couple a headache. Li Bi naturally didn't want her son to focus too much on martial arts, as he would not be able to take over the emperor's duties.
And Li Po is obviously much more profound than she thought. When children are teenagers, they are usually tired of studying, but they love sports.
Generally speaking, it is because children have no self-control, so they prefer sports, mainly because it is easier for them to be mentally happy.
The process of learning knowledge is more boring and difficult, and the results are obvious.
Of course, Li Po never expresses his opinions on his son's education. Firstly, he is a little careless, and secondly, he is also self-aware. Look at what Li Chun has become under his words and deeds.
If his family was as unstable as when he first entered Mayi, it would be a good thing to have a powerful girl to help him. But now that he is the emperor, Li Chun has become a typical example of idleness and not doing his job properly.
