"It doesn't matter if you're hungry, I'm just afraid that your husband will get lost in the palace and won't be able to get out. I'll use this just in case your husband finds a way out in the morning and returns home..."
Someone laughed, but the laughter came from the corner. Li Po was a little annoyed. Jinyang Wang's tutor was not good.
He didn't think about it, but the Wang daughter, who originally loved to show off her rhetoric, had changed a lot since she entered the house of the general manager and mingled with his family members all day long.
Li Chun was on the side to finish the attack, "Brother can't get lost. If he returns home tomorrow morning, he will definitely not want to come out."
At this moment, Li Po didn't care anymore. There were more and more women in the family, and his arrogance had to be suppressed. Otherwise, he would be bothered by all kinds of talkers every time he came home. How could he live a pure life?
First, he glared at Ashi Tianxiang, who was just stuffing things into his mouth, and scolded: "You are worthless... If you become a fat man after eating, I will send you back to the royal court and let the wind on the grassland blow.
I lost weight."
Ashina Tianxiang is indeed a little homesick, but his father is Qimin Khan and his mother is Princess Yicheng of the Great Sui Dynasty. They are very expensive, but with parents like that, even if this child is homesick, the degree is limited.
In fact, despite the fact that she was bullied a lot in the steward's house, her life was much more interesting than on the grassland. In addition, except for the biggest tigress, she got along well with everyone else in the house now.
Yes, the thought of leaving here and going north to return to the royal court is getting weaker and weaker.
Moreover, as Li Po's status became higher and higher, her mother also agreed to her marriage to this man, so the "arrogant" Princess Jialan waited for the marriage with peace of mind.
Well, she has a big heart and is a bit happy-go-lucky. Compared to other women in the steward's house, she is a standard optimist and the happiest one among them.
As for her, who often works as a doorkeeper, the thickness of her skin is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. To her, this scolding is like scratching an itch.
It's just that Li Po always spoke in a shady manner, so Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was very engrossed in eating, stopped for a moment, lowered her head and glanced at her waist, seeing her slightly bulging belly, then threw away the chopsticks with a snap, and then gave it to her fiercely.
Li Po rolled his eyes.
Women in the grassland have always regarded being strong as their beauty, but fat men are despised in the grassland. Otherwise, the reputation of the swaying Ashina Luoheng in the Turkic royal court would never be as bad as it is now.
With just one sentence, Ashina Tianxiang lost his appetite, and at the same time, the momentum of the others was stagnated.
Li Bi looked around and found a little helplessly that strength in numbers was not necessarily a good thing. None of the women in the family were of the same mind as her. They each had their own little plans. She couldn't help but think in frustration, let you be proud for a while.
Let’s wait until the house is properly tidied up.
Of course, this is a common trick in the general manager's house. If you don't play with it like this, everyone seems to find it boring. After Li Po drank a glass of wine and ate some dishes, Li Bi asked: "This time I entered
Palace, will your husband gain anything?"
After listening to this, you can actually understand that even if Li Po chose the wrong time to enter the palace, Li Bi did not think about it. No matter how beautiful the Queen is and how old she is, her husband's character...
Well, it is indeed a bit worrying, but if you want to seduce Queen Xiao, she won't believe it.
If it were a young and beautiful daughter of a noble family like the third wife of Li Yuan's family, she would be worried.
Li Po put down his chopsticks, nodded, and said casually: "The Queen is well-educated and well-behaved..."
Pfft, someone laughed again, this time it was Li Chun, because he saw his sister-in-law's eyebrows raised. Unfortunately, there were too many people here, otherwise, maybe we would have seen a different kind of excitement.
This was obviously Li Po's usual conversation rhythm with his mother-in-law in the back house, and then he said, "Okay, just wait until I become your princess."
With one sentence, all the women calmed down. It was a big deal to be crowned king, and even Ashina Tianxiang knew it. So, Wang Qi continued to lower his head and write rustlingly, and Ashina Tianxiang fiddled with his chopsticks, thinking about marrying him.
At least she should be a concubine, much nicer than a concubine.
Her expectations were much lower than before.
Li Chun'er frowned with joy and poured wine for his brother while asking, "Then Chun'er can also be made a princess or something?"
This girl obviously hasn't completely escaped the category of country bumpkin, but Wang Qi over there couldn't hold it back. While lowering his head to write, he replied, "If the eldest lady is not of royal blood, she should only be called the princess..."
In fact, it is very difficult to be called a princess, but after you get married, you can call a more noble lady.
Of course, this is all calculated according to the orthodox rules. Most of the people with different surnames who are granted kingships are powerful ministers or feudal princes. They have already broken the rules, so it is not unusual for their families to be granted titles.
Li Chun curled his lips, a little dissatisfied.
Hongyanzhu'er is the least concerned about it. Judging from her own experience and her husband's ability, it's not surprising that he can grab any position as long as he has a knife and a gun in his hand. She didn't just grab a position from nothing with a machete.
The princess of the Western Turks came back with the name Shiboluo.
Li Bi had expected it and was not too happy. She just asked: "Has the king's title been decided?"
Li Po nodded, "King of Han, other king titles are inappropriate, but this one, I think, is still appropriate."
Li Bi's reaction was really different from others. After hearing this, she just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what others say. If you, husband, think it is suitable, then that's fine. But Hanzhong is far away, so it doesn't live up to its name. Husband,
We will have to work harder from now on.”
This was so comforting to hear, and Li Po couldn't help but grinned. Was it because his mother-in-law was sensible, and other people's jabbering was of no use?
Of course, he really didn’t know that the King of Han originally came from Hanzhong. Damn it, he was not as good as the King of Shu...
"It's March now, and the spring plowing season is here in the blink of an eye. It's a bit urgent. What I mean is that the etiquette of becoming a king should be brief, but official duties should be more careful..."
Although Li Bi and he were always at odds with each other, there were some things they were very compatible with. For example, when they heard the title King of Han, they didn't think it was inappropriate.
It's not that she doesn't know the importance of the king's title, but she knows that her husband will never stop. Whether he is the King of Han or any other title, it is just a temporary choice. As long as it is not too strange, it will be fine.
At this time, Li Po had only spoken half of his words. She had already heard the elegant meaning of the song and said, "My husband is saying that after becoming the king, he will slowly set up official offices?"
At this time, quietly, only the husband and wife were left in the hall. Li Chun pulled the red eyes, grabbed the underfed Ash Tianxiang, and drove Wang Qi out. It can be seen that Master Wang really didn't
Bai taught her a lesson and she began to understand the difference between severity and severity.
Li Po slowly sipped his wine and said quietly: "There are still a few talents in Jin. There are definitely no good candidates for some positions. It would be better to wait for a while before making a decision."
What the two people are talking about now is the procedure after becoming king. Under normal circumstances, there are not many positions that need to be set up in a palace. Today's Jinyang General Manager's Palace is actually almost the same as the palace in normal times, and there are still some functional differences.
Pass it.
But after the advent of troubled times, the situation was different. When everyone was called a queen, they almost had to set up six departments, internal history, Zhongshu and other official offices to prepare for the title of emperor.
Li Po is naturally no exception here, and what he is worried about is not actually the issue of time, but that this will be a relatively large bureaucratic group that requires a variety of talents.
What a mess.
Therefore, according to his usual approach, he would slow down such matters for a while, establish a solid foundation, and then proceed with the situation. This is undoubtedly an extremely rare king's quality.
Therefore, Li Po was never very familiar with political affairs, but he was always able to handle them in a clear and orderly manner. The fact was that he was never in a hurry to get things done, but tried every means to get them done.
Things get done.
But now he was facing a major event. In fact, before he went to see Empress Xiao, he had already set a relatively long time limit for the matter, that is, within two years, the bureaucratic system would be slowly established.
Of course, this was also a decision made after learning the lessons learned when establishing the Wei Mansion. Moreover, he felt that the various positions in the General Manager's Mansion were still running smoothly, and there was no need to rush to make big changes.
But this time Li Bi did not agree very much, and shook his head and said: "Husband, have you ever thought about... why so many people hope that your husband will become the king? Generals in the army can still be promoted to military ranks, and other people can do their jobs conscientiously.
What is the merit? Giving advice or bringing peace to the place? How can it be compared with military merit?"
The series of questions actually refers to one of the biggest drawbacks of Li Po's separation of civil and military personnel in hiring people, which is the imbalance in rewards.
Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, the boundaries between civil and military affairs have been blurred, so this shortcoming has not become apparent and has been almost replaced by other shortcomings.
But since Li Po started his army, he has quietly drawn a line between civil and military forces. Wouldn't people like Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo, Su Dan and others lead troops to fight? That's nonsense. If they did, they might be better than those in the army.
A general should still be competent.
But Li Po never let them lead troops in front of the two armies. The benefits were obvious. They focused more on internal affairs. Otherwise, the war-torn Jin region would not have calmed down so quickly.
But the disadvantages also arise from this. Once civil and military affairs are separated, in troubled times, it must be the world of generals. Those civil servants who only make plans and are interested in internal affairs can actually not show much. The reason why there are so many
People leave their names in history, not actually because of what they themselves are, but because later literati are more willing to make them famous.
