Since the early years of Jinghe, their family of four has been aiming for survival for a long time. At that time, he introduced candied haws, liquor, and Ruyilu just because he wanted the family to have enough to eat.
If you live in a big house, you don't have to worry about your livelihood.
Later, when I arrived in Kyoto, whether it was to promote various reforms in Jingguo or to help Mingzhu build momentum, he was always willing to refuse and welcome. In fact, it had nothing to do with me.
Including helping Yang Liuqing rebel not long ago, although there are some subjective factors that can be ignored, but upon closer inspection, it is not closely related to himself.
Li Yi felt that he was not even as good as Lao Fang.
In the summer of Jinghe's first year, Lao Fang once told him that his dream was to have a big house with a lovely wife and beautiful concubines.
His dream came true a long time ago.
Although his wife is not charming enough and his concubine is not beautiful enough, the house is big enough, and he can still achieve his life goal.
What about yourself?
Thinking about it carefully, from beginning to end, Li Yi didn't know what his dream was.
I didn’t know it before, and I don’t know it even more now.
In terms of status and power, he has reached the pinnacle that ordinary people can reach. If he takes another step forward, the only way is to rebel and become emperor. It is impossible to be the emperor of Jingguo, Wu Guo, and Qi Guo.
Zhao Guo..., he really has no interest in becoming emperor. He has reached this point and doesn't want to go any further.
When it comes to family, the wife is beautiful, the concubine is charming, some are as gentle as water, some are as passionate as fire, the family is harmonious, and the husband and wife are harmonious. Apart from being overwhelmed at times, there is no other shortcoming.
On personal strength...
He still has something to pursue. He doesn't want to dominate the martial arts world and be proud of the world. He doesn't have to expect to surpass Ruyi in his lifetime. He just wants to step into the master position before Ruyi and Mingzhu and teach them how to be a qualified sister-in-law.
And a qualified...princess.
It's a pity that this only dream has so little hope that it makes people despair.
Ruyi and Mingzhu's breakthrough is based on chance, while he is based on fate.
Therefore, he can only pursue other things.
For example, in their free time, if the family walked out of Ruyi City and Jingguo to see other places on this continent, it would not be a waste of time for him to come here...
…
Jingping three years.
The seventh year of Takehi.
In the twenty-seventh year of Zhengyuan.
July.
Li Xuan walked out of the room and scratched his messy hair. He spent another whole night last night, corrected several parameters, and sent people to the Engineering Academy to continue debugging.
Li Yi did not send him a red cannon, but he did give him the blueprints. After improvements by the Academy of Sciences, both the range and accuracy have been slightly improved.
After a sleepless night, he still looked energetic. He lay down on the rocking chair outside, took out a letter from his arms, and murmured: "I ran so fast. I originally wanted to go on patrol incognito again..."
He received this letter two months ago. At that time, Li Yi's family had already left for traveling. In the past few months, he had not received any letters.
He did not say where they went or when they would return...
He took the letter back, always feeling empty in his heart.
He sighed and murmured: "When will days like this end..."
A figure ran past from a distance. When he ran to Li Xuan, he stopped and said respectfully: "Brother Emperor!"
Li Xuan looked at him and asked, "Going to a women's college again?"
Li Han said seriously: "Sister Huang asked me to give more training to those math teachers..."
Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "Don't use this reason every time. Brother Huang knows that you are looking for the little girl named Dragon Boat Festival. How many times have you said it, My Fair Lady? Gentlemen are jealous. This is nothing...
"
Li Han's face turned red. At the age of sixteen, he was only half a head shorter than Li Xuan. The fat boy who was extremely afraid of arithmetic a few years ago has now transformed into a handsome young man.
Li Xuan changed the topic, looked at him, and suddenly asked: "Is Xiaohan already sixteen years old this year?"
Li Han nodded, and Li Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Sixteen years old is not young anymore. According to our Jingguo marriage law, it is the right age for marriage. Your mother and concubine have mentioned it to me many times. It is time."
I will make a marriage arrangement for you first, and then we will get married in two years..."
"I see that the Dragon Boat Festival girl is very pretty and has a clean financial background. Her family background is not much different now..."
A hint of joy appeared on Li Han's face, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Li Xuan shook his head at this time and said: "But Duanwu is Li Yi's cousin, and Li Yi is your husband. There is a gap in seniority between them..." It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, I think.
You should choose a woman from the Wang family and the Yang family to be your princess..."
After Li Han was stunned for a moment, his face began to turn pale.
Li Xuan got up from the rocking chair and said: "However, if you really like that little girl in Dragon Boat Festival, it doesn't matter. Brother Huang can make the decision for you, but before that, you must agree to Brother Huang on one condition..."
On this side, Li Xuan and Li Han seemed to have entered into some kind of secret conversation. On the other side of a lake, the sword-wielding woman flew away the wooden sword in the hand of another girl opposite, nodded, and said: "It's better than the previous few."
The weather is much better, come again!"
The girl picked up the wooden sword and rushed over again. The clothes of the two figures were flying, their postures were graceful, and they were particularly pleasing to the eye...
By the lake, two women looked here. A woman wearing a phoenix crown on the left looked away from the two women, looked at the other person beside her and said: "In the blink of an eye, Shouning has grown so big."
, If I remember correctly, after this year, she will be eighteen, right?"
The younger-looking woman on the right nodded and said, "Sister, I remember correctly, Bing Ning is already eighteen years old this year."
"Time makes people grow old. Now, even Bing Ning has grown up. It seems that we are really old..." The woman who was already the queen mother of a country sighed and said: "It is also time to find a good husband for her.
, I asked Xuan'er to pay more attention to see if there are any young talents in Kyoto who can be worthy of her..."
However, Concubine Yan shook her head, looked at the girl on the lawn, and said: "Your Majesty is busy with daily affairs, so it is better not to worry too much about Bing Ning, the time has not yet come..."
…
The third year of Jingping in the state of Jing was the seventh year of Wuren in the state of Wu, and the twenty-seventh year of Zhengyuan in the state of Qi.
This year was a year for Jingguo to recuperate and continue to grow. In the past few years, the people's taxes have been reduced again and again, but the national treasury has become increasingly full. Agriculture and commerce have gone hand in hand, and the military strength has become the largest in one country.
It has the tendency to overwhelm Qi State and become the first among all the countries.
Compared with Jingguo, the situation in Wuguo has undergone earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning of the seventh year of Wuren, Princess Duanrong returned with force and captured six states including Cangzhou, Nanzhou, and Linzhou. Later, several states voluntarily surrendered. In the past six months, they recuperated while developing steadily. In a short period of time, they actually
It occupied seventeen states, which was almost half of the state capitals controlled by the Wu Kingdom.
In August of the seventh year of Wuren, when Princess Duanrong occupied the twentieth state, the court finally realized that Princess Duanrong and others had the strength to overthrow them.
On August 13, Emperor Wu once again issued an order to personally lead an army of 200,000 to defeat the rebels.
On August 14, Emperor Wu was assassinated in the palace. Several of his ministers rebelled. Fortunately, the remaining guards fought to kill each other. Although they killed the assassins, Emperor Wu was also seriously injured.
On August 15th, in the morning court, a eunuch sent a message on his behalf that the personal expedition was cancelled...
In the twenty-seventh year of Zhengyuan, in this year, Qi State was not as stable as Jing State, and there was no turmoil in Wu State, nor did the emperor's two consecutive personal expeditions as a joke...
The Emperor of Qi's health was deteriorating, but it was still too early to return to the West.
The two princes are still trying their best to fight for the throne.
The ministers in the DPRK were divided into two factions, each refusing to give in to the other, and the dispute was almost heated.
In the autumn of the 27th year of the Qi Dynasty, Lin Yong strode into a small courtyard. Before anyone arrived, the sound came first.
