Just as the soldiers and horses of Wucheng roared wildly, Gao Yigong led Li Yingren to a restaurant.
Entering the box, I saw a young man.
He is in his twenties, with an angular face, a straight nose, and shining eyes, exuding a unique aura.
This is an extraordinary person.
With the definition in his mind, Li Yingren became more and more careful.
"This is the uncle of Yanzhou, Li Dingguo."
Gao Yigong showed a smile and introduced softly.
Li Yingren was stunned. Although he had not heard much about Uncle Yanzhou, he was extremely familiar with Li Dingguo's name.
Without him, when Zhang Xianzhong caused trouble in Huguang, Li Dingguo's name appeared more frequently in Beijing.
When he came to Nanjing, he learned that Zhang Dingguo had become Li Dingguo, and that he had repeatedly made military exploits and won a huge title.
"My Jinzhou man, Li Yingren, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, has met my uncle——"
Li Yingren was unambiguous and immediately bent down and bowed, showing very thoughtful etiquette.
"Since it was brought by Gao Yigong, then we are friends, why are we so polite?"
Li Dingguo shook his head, picked up the wine cup, and drank the wine.
"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly——"
Gao Yigong smiled and asked him to sit down, and said to Li Dingguo: "This brother Li went to Korea to live in seclusion. It was not until the imperial court sent envoys to find him that he was found, and then he captured Pi Island."
"After that, they even reached Liaodong, but unfortunately they were outnumbered and were forced to withdraw."
"There are really too few soldiers and horses."
Li Yingren echoed: "At that time, there were not many people in Liaodong, they were all Han Eight Banners. What a pity, what a pity!"
"It's hard to deal with slaves."
Li Dingguo shook his head, looked solemnly, and looked at Li Yingren seriously: "As long as you gain a firm foothold in Pidao, you will definitely be of great use in the future, and your future is limitless."
"yes!"
Gao Yigong was quite jealous and said: "Pi Dao is right under the arm of Liaodong. You can get as much merit as you want. This is much better than us."
"Hey, it's too early to say this."
A smile appeared on Li Yingren's face and he couldn't hide it no matter what.
Although Gao Yigong is a viscount and Li Dingguo is an earl, he will definitely be able to catch up with them, or even surpass them.
Several people discussed the situation in the north and the loneliness of the slaves, and then the topic turned to Li Dingguo.
Li Yingren was extremely curious about the fact that they suddenly went to the restaurant to drink, and they were still full of worries.
"That's a good thing and a bad thing."
Li Dingguo was silent, while Gao Yigong said: "Brother Li is now being re-employed by the imperial court and appointed as the General Soldier of Guiyang, responsible for guarding Guizhou."
"And Guizhou, facing Yunnan..."
At this point, everything becomes clear.
Sun Kewang from Yunnan was Li Dingguo's nominal sworn brother. He went to Guizhou, so it was inevitable that the two would meet.
Brothers killing each other, it's a little exciting to think about this scene.
"This is also the priority of the imperial court." Li Yingren said directly: "Since the liberation of Beijing, the only remaining areas are the southwest and northwest. I am afraid there will still be a confrontation with Liaodong."
"Now that my uncle has gone to Guizhou, if he recovers Yunnan, why should he worry about the Duke and the title of Marquis?"
Li Dingguo forced a smile and stopped talking.
Gao Yigong remained silent.
The atmosphere turned a little solemn for a moment.
However, Gao Yigong's temperament was very different from that of Li Dingguo, and he always had a good time chatting with Li Yingren.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour. At the end, Li Yingren reluctantly left.
"General soldiers of Liaodong!" Li Dingguo muttered: "There are more and more general soldiers of Ming Dynasty. This is not a good thing."
"You can still be a general soldier, but I can only stay in the capital camp and be confined in the capital. It's extremely boring."
Gao Yigong rubbed his eyes, sobered up a little, and said with a bit of envy: "That's Yunnan, and you can easily get the position of Duke!"
"Sun Kewang is not easy to deal with."
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "From the time he swallowed up Yunnan, we can see that his ambition and plan are grand, which should not be underestimated..."
The two chatted for a few more words before leaving the table.
Fighting side by side and running thousands of miles together, our relationship has long been different.
After leaving the restaurant, Gao Yigong arranged for Li Dingguo to be settled, and then he was helped into the carriage.
"Where did you get the carriage?"
"Madam knew you were drinking, so she gave this special order."
The guard on the side spoke.
With a hum, Gao Yigong fell asleep directly.
In the early morning of the next day, he got up refreshed and came to a familiar house not far away.
Compared with the courtyard rented by Gao Yigong, the house in front of him is spacious, covering an area of more than ten acres. It is also a large courtyard in Nanjing City and is worth tens of thousands of taels.
"Wow wow wow——"
Before anyone arrived, he heard crying in his ears.
Ignoring the salutes of the maids, Gao Yigong quickly walked in and saw his sister Gao Guiying who was coaxing his son.
"Are you awake?" Seeing his brother's strong appearance, Gao Guiying nodded and continued to indulge in the coaxing mood.
Gao Yigong looked at his tall sister, who exuded the aura of a loving mother. The original strength and sophistication were completely gone, leaving only a mother who cared about her son.
When he walked up and saw his pink nephew again, he was filled with emotions.
Even though it was not the first time he saw it, he still couldn't believe it. This was his sister's son and the fruit of the current emperor Zhu Yixi's creation.
This lewd thief has gone too far.
"Yeah!" Nodding, Gao Yigong looked at his sister's appearance and sighed in his heart.
The woman who conquered the king was forced to give birth to an heir for her enemy. How strange and cruel this was!
"Remember to drink less alcohol next time, it's not good for your health..."
After chattering for a while, Gao Guiying saw the latter's indifferent expression and sighed: "Now that you have become a viscount, you are getting older and it is time to start a family and start a career."
"Not urgent."
Gao Yigong shook his head hurriedly: "Now the houses are all rented. The new palace built by the imperial court is in Beijing. When the time comes, we can live in it and get married..."
The two siblings chatted happily, and the nephew in their arms seemed extremely well-behaved after going to bed, which made them relieved.
Just before lunch, an uninvited guest suddenly broke into the house.
Of course, it can be said to be its owner.
"See Your Majesty."
Gao Yigong knelt down on one knee to salute. Why did the emperor suddenly leave the palace?
"Get up!" Zhu Yixi looked at Gao Yigong's expression and said softly: "Xin Taizi is quite leisurely. He drank so much wine, why don't he sleep a little longer?"
Gao Yigong was startled. Jinyiwei and Dongchang were passing through his mind.
Obviously, his every move in Nanjing could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes.
He didn't dare to answer randomly and could only bear it silently.
Zhu Yixi did not stay long. She looked at her son for a while. Before leaving, she saw Gao Yigong and said:
"If you want to make meritorious deeds, you can go to Gansu. You and Li Dingguo can no longer be together..."
