The first thousand one hundred and seventy-four chapters are not called aunt
Since returning to Kyoto, Li Yi has been living in the Li family and has not returned to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Today, the main entrance to Prince Jing's Mansion opened for the first time in several years.
In front of the mansion gate, there was an endless stream of cars, horses and official sedans. Most people put down their gifts and left in a hurry without even stepping through the gate.
In the past few years, Prince Jing's Mansion has only left a few servants to clean the courtyard. This time, the officials and dignitaries from the capital gathered together, and the servants in the Mansion were even a little overwhelmed.
Shouning simply transferred some maids and servants from his princess mansion just to help them carry the gifts.
Of course, not everyone puts down their gifts and passes through the house without entering.
"Where is Zui Mo, and where is Xiao Mu?" This was the first thing Zeng Shichun said after seeing Li Yi.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "They are in Ruyi City and did not come back this time."
Li Yi watched as the anticipation and excitement on Zeng Shichun's face disappeared in an instant. He glanced at Li Yi and said calmly: "You're back."
The little Minister of the Ministry of Finance actually dared to talk to me like this. After not seeing him for several years, Mr. Zeng became a lot of people.
However, for the sake of Zui Mo and Xiao Mu, Li Yi would not argue with him about his rudeness for the time being.
Liu Dayou walked over quickly, with excitement on his face, and said: "Your Highness, you are back..."
Look at Mr. Liu's attitude. He is countless times better than his predecessor.
"I have been out in Beijing to inspect unjust cases in various places for two months. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time." Liu Dayou looked at Li Yi and said with some regret: "He must be very happy to know that His Highness is back in Beijing."
Hearing Liu Yishou's name, Zeng Shichun looked at him and couldn't help but said: "You are really talented in Anxi County."
What Lao Zeng said is correct. Liu Dayou was originally the magistrate of Anxi County. In less than ten years, he climbed to the position of Jing Zhaoyin. This is the ultimate magistrate.
As for Liu Yishou, he rose from a small policeman to the current Minister of the Ministry of Justice, which is equivalent to his official position of Zeng Shichun. He can be called a legend in the officialdom.
Dong Wenyun, the former prefect of Qing'an, is now a right-wing prime minister.
The former Anxi county lieutenant has now been crowned king.
There are so many big bosses coming out of a small county, and no one would believe them.
The three of them sat in the courtyard. Li Yi ordered the kitchen to cook a few side dishes and brought a pot of wine.
Liu Da couldn't let him go because of his status, and Zeng Shichun ignored him because he hadn't seen Zui Mo.
After a few glasses of wine, they all started chatting.
"Your Highness..." Liu Dayou took a bite of food and said, "When I was in Qing'an Mansion, I knew that Your Highness is not a thing in the pond. The small Anxi County cannot trap you..."
"The luckiest thing in my life is to be the magistrate of Anxi County." He chuckled, "I thought the same thing. Jing Zhaoyin and the Minister of Justice have been working together for a long time, but I miss the days when I was in Anxi County.
…”
Liu Dayou's drinking capacity was not high. Even if he drank something other than hard liquor, he would soon get drunk, lying on the table muttering to himself.
Zeng Shichun drank slowly. After Liu Dayou fell drunk, he took another sip of wine and said slowly: "My eldest brother was framed back then. In order to save the Zeng family, he took all the blame and the family was ruined. At that time, I
My rank is too low, so I can only watch helplessly..."
"Later, I gradually took the position of Minister of Tobe, and repeated to him what that man did to my eldest brother. Later, I let him die on the road to exile..."
"The revenge was avenged, but the Zeng family is no longer the Zeng family. Later, when Zui Mo came to Kyoto, she was unwilling to recognize me as her second uncle. She loved me so much when she was a child..." Zeng Shichun took a sip of wine and said with a smile:
"I still have to thank you for this, His Highness Prince Jing..."
He picked up the flask and drank deeply, then stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't let Zui Mo suffer any injustice - I'm begging you."
Zeng Shichun left smelling of alcohol, but Li Yi knew that he was not drunk.
In this world, there are always some people with special circumstances.
It is normal for the princess to control and the queen to control these things.
There are sisters who control sisters, daughters who control nieces, and some of these people have dirty thoughts, while others don’t have a trace of impurity. They really protect and love from the bottom of their hearts.
Changde walked out of the backyard, his breath a little disturbed.
This is unusual for a master like him.
Unless another grandmaster forces him to have a disordered breath.
Mingzhu looked calm and composed, Chang De's face bloomed with a chrysanthemum-like smile, and he bowed and said: "I am no longer your highness's opponent..."
Li Yi felt a little sad.
Even the Pearl has broken through, when will his opportunity to become a master come?
Then I thought about it, even if he breaks through, he can't beat Lao Chang, he can't beat Mr. Xu, and he can't beat Mingzhu and Ruyi. What's the point of such a breakthrough?
Li Duan took Xiaorui's hand and ran over from the backyard. The two had been separated for several years, but these days they were inseparable.
When he ran past Lao Chang, he stopped and bowed: "Master."
Xiaorui also looked at Mingzhu: "Auntie!"
She didn't know Changde, so she didn't know how to call him, so she followed Li Duan and called him master.
Li Duan looked at Mingzhu, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Auntie."
Before Li Yi had time to correct what he said, he and Xiaorui ran outside.
"The State of Zhao has sent envoys over." Mingzhu sat next to him and said: "In the past few months, Zhao Yi has personally led the troops, with great momentum, and has successively attacked the cities of the State of Zhao. Today, half of the territory of the State of Zhao has been conquered.
, fell into the hands of Qi."
Li Yi thought for a while and asked: "Zhao Guo wants to borrow troops?"
Mingzhu nodded and said: "What the courtiers mean is that although we have old grievances with Zhao State, if Qi State conquers Zhao State, it will pose a greater threat to us. In order to prevent Qi State from becoming powerful, we should send troops
.”
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."
Sending troops cannot be done just by saying it. Not only do you have to mobilize troops, but you also have to prepare food and fodder, and distribute military pay. In addition, it is a long journey. By the time the troops guarding the border receive these orders, it may be too late.
This time, Zhao Yi can be said to be determined to go crazy, the kind that kills gods when God blocks them, and kills Buddha when Buddha blocks Buddha. Such expansion will eventually become a serious problem for Wu and Jing. Neither country will
He sat back and ignored it. It was precisely because he knew this that he sent troops so quickly, hoping to conquer Zhao in the shortest possible time.
When Zhao State is completely occupied by Qi State, it will not be so easy to move them.
Mingzhu nodded and said: "Even if it is too late, we must prepare early. Once Qi becomes powerful, it will eventually point the finger at us..."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Zhao Yi is a smart man. Without heaven's punishment and cannons, he would not send troops to Jingguo or Wuguo..."
The emergence of gunpowder and cannons made Jingguo and Wuguo seem to have cheated, and they quickly moved to the forefront of the world in military affairs. With the appropriate tactics, they became almost invincible.
Zhao Yi knew this very well. He would not dare to do this without being punished by God...
The two were discussing the matter in the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, Li Duan and Xiao Rui were sitting on the swing. Suddenly he turned his head and looked at her and asked: "Xiao Rui, are you going to marry me in the future?"
"Of course!" The little girl looked back at him and said matter-of-factly: "We have agreed, do you want to go back on it?"
"No, no..." Li Duan shook his head quickly and said, "It's just that if you marry me in the future, you can no longer call the aunt just now "aunt"..."
"Why?" The little girl blinked, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Why don't you call me aunt?"
"Call me mother..."
Li Duan thought for a while and then said: "And the little aunt who gave you the candy just now can't be called little aunt anymore. She has to be called little aunt like me..."
…
The affairs of the State of Zhao were concerned by countless important ministers in the court. In the past few days before this year, Li Yi went out to visit several veterans and conveniently gave away the gifts he had received in the past few days.
Then comes the New Year.
In the fifth year of Jingping, on the third day of the first lunar month, a big event happened in Kyoto.
Even for the entire Jingguo, this is a huge event.
The queen gave birth to a baby boy on this day, and the mother and baby were safe.
