Xiang Nan and Li Minglou's wedding was held as scheduled.
Li Fengan did not ask his daughter to observe filial piety. The greatest filial piety to him was that his daughter would live a happy life.
This was a consolation for Li Fengan and an opportunity to promote the Xiang family of Taiyuan Prefecture to the world. Jiannan Road worked hard and the Xiang family tried their best to hold a wedding that had never been seen in Taiyuan Prefecture before the New Year.
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, just reading the description on the paper makes Kumquat exclaim from time to time.
"Miss's wedding is so beautiful." She did not feel angry, sad or unequal because someone else was attending the wedding. There was excitement on her face and tears in her eyes. "I will be very happy to see it in heaven."
Li Minglou didn't read these letters. He was looking at something in front of the desk. Hearing this sentence, he stopped and thought about it. She didn't hold a wedding at this time in her life, but the scene when she entered Taiyuan Mansion was no less than the current wedding.
.
But my father won’t be happy when he sees it in the sky.
And the wedding she held ten years later was grander and more lively than the current one, with gongs, drums, colorful flags, swords and blood flowers.
Yuan Ji walked in and interrupted Li Minglou's unhappy memories.
"This is the letter I just received." Yuanji held a thick stack of letters, including letters from Jiannan Road, the capital, and various places collected according to Li Minglou's request.
He also sent letters and newspapers from Taiyuan Prefecture, but like Li Minglou, he was not interested.
Jin Jue hurriedly took the letters written from different angles written by the servants who accompanied him in Taiyuan and put them in his arms from the table, pulling the woman sitting aside drinking tea: "Madam, I'm here to tell you a new story, the marriage of gods.
Have you heard of the scene?"
The woman followed her with a smile and sat in the outer hall, where Yuan Ji and Li Minglou were talking.
"The Grand Governor has brought troops and horses with him when he visited the Shannan West Road in Qianzhou according to the lady's instructions, and left the troops and horses in the two places for the reason of going to the Qing Dynasty Road in Beijing."
"The Chinese New Year is about to come. Zhonghou mentioned Quanhai in the capital and asked when the governor was coming to the capital."
The first thing Yuanji talked about was about Jiannan Dao and Li Mingyu.
Li Minglou tapped his fingers on a few cards on the table: "It's a good time to go to the capital as the New Year is approaching. It's just in time to give New Year's gifts. What's the latest news in the capital?"
Li Minglou was very concerned about the news in the capital these days. Yuanji opened one: "There is no new news, it's the same as the ones from the past few days."
"Where is Wu Zhang?" Li Minglou asked, "Has he entered Beijing?"
Yuan Ji took out another one: "No, Governor Wu held a banquet and performed for three days for his mother-in-law's birthday a few days ago. Money was thrown on the stage, causing a fight and many people were injured."
He had just received these, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw what was written by the person staring at Wu Zhang.
"Wu Zhang is really ridiculous."
Li Minglou didn't care whether Wu Zhang was ridiculous: "Why hasn't he come to Beijing yet?"
Yuanji did not ask why he wanted to go to Beijing, but only replied: "There is no news about him coming to Beijing."
Li Minglou leaned on the chair, and Yuan Ji saw her frown.
Although I still use a wrap to cover my face and wear a hat and an umbrella when I go out, but if I look closely, it is still different from before. The wrap on my face is missing a few strands and is much looser. Occasionally, I can see the girl's little expressions and movements.
For example, the eyebrows are furrowed, the nose is twitching, the corners of the mouth are slightly curled, there is worry, confusion, and disdain. Although there are very few happy moments, there are also other emotions, not as numb as before.
Yuanji was convinced that she was telling the truth when she said her injury was much better.
"Why hasn't it started yet?"
"Quan Hai and Cui Zheng shouldn't, it's time to start a fight."
"Why is it that the capital is calmer than before?"
Yuanji listened quietly to the strange words the girl muttered in a low voice without saying a word.
Li Minglou muttered to himself for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Is there nothing going on over there at Xuanwu? Has there been any movement of officers and soldiers recently except for the bandits' rebellion?"
Yuan Ji said: "The movement of officers and soldiers is to suppress bandits, and the ones who make the biggest move are our people."
To hijack the dowry in Jiannan Road, a place was specially selected in Henan Prefecture. There happened to be bandits there. Kill the bandits and put on the clothes of the dowry army to create a scene.
Except for taking one of the dowry troops to Dou County, the rest of the dowry troops stayed there to suppress bandits and pursue property in the name of Jiannan Road, making a lot of noise.
Li Minglou frowned again. It's strange. According to the time, the military pay should have started now. It's not called chaos just relying on bandits to cause chaos. What's going on with Ande Zhong?
After much thinking, I still can't figure it out. Many details in this life are different from that one, but the general trend will not change. The later the war breaks out, the better.
Li Minglou sat up straight: "Let Mingyu leave for the capital, but just leave."
What does this mean? Yuanji was puzzled and waited for Li Minglou's explanation.
"He is young and frail. It's cold and snowy and the road is not good. He should walk slowly with his soldiers and horses. Please press the travel time first..." Li Minglou thought, and counted with his fingers, "Three months."
There should have been a commotion in the capital in three months, with Cui Zheng and his troops all over the world facing each other, Wu Ya'er murdering traitorous ministers and bloodbathing the palace walls, and Ankang Mountain rebelling. Of course she would not let Mingyu really go to the capital at this time.
Just make a gesture of going to the capital to express gratitude, and at the same time have an excuse to take your troops out of the border. When chaos breaks out in the capital, you can stop wherever you go.
There was sudden chaos in Daxia, and local officials and people were panicked. They needed and welcomed more soldiers and horses around them. Jiannan Road was also willing to protect more people from the rebels.
Hearing what she said, Yuanji understood that although the reasons were different, they had the same meaning as asking Mingyu to lead troops to visit the nearby Jiedushi envoys, and asking the dowry army to find dowries and suppress bandits locally.
Yuan Ji looked at the map to the side. The three locations where Li Mingyu, Li Minglou and the Dowry Army were currently located could vaguely surround most of the southern hinterland.
Of course, that's just a hint, if there is a chance.
Is there any chance? Yuanji's heartbeats calmly, thinking about the lady's muttering and the news from several parties that kept letting him stare. Although there is no new news, he can gradually feel the changes and tension from the daily trivialities.
It seems that the storm is coming, just as the lady said, Ankang Mountain is going to rebel, and the world is going to be in chaos.
Having the opportunity is not enough, you also need to have the strength.
Yuan Ji pressed down his beating heart heavily and responded: "I will make arrangements for Yan Mao right now."
Li Minglou said: "There is one more thing to arrange. Xiang Yun doesn't need to follow me."
If Xiang Yun and Li Mingyu come to Beijing, as an elder and an official of Longyou Jiedushi, Jiannan Dao will definitely let him accompany him. However, there are indeed few arrangements for Xiang Yun recently, not just because of his recovery.
"Let him stay in Jiannan Road?" Yuanji asked.
Of course that won't work. Li Minglou looked at the map, thought for a while, and pointed casually: "Let him go to the Yi people's side. Only then will the chaos there be settled. The remnants of evil will still exist, and the rear can be considered stable."
In fact, nothing happened on the Yi people's side. The furious Jiannan Dao soldiers and horses after Li Fengan's death would not let the remnants survive.
Yuanji responded yes.
"You don't need to bring too many troops and horses." Li Minglou said calmly, "Bring more troops will prevent the barbarians from being uneasy."
Yuanji answered yes again.
After talking about these distant things, Li Minglou relaxed a little: "How is the military camp?"
Yuanji was in high spirits: "The military camp is completely different. Not only the military camp, Dou County is also different."
When money and food are in place, like the east wind, everything goes smoothly, and like firewood when the wind is strong, the fire is fierce.
Li Minglou also became interested: "Let me take a look."
Li Minglou seldom went out, not because she didn't like to go out. In that life, she lived in her own house in Taiyuan Prefecture, spending spring outings in the summer enjoying lotus flowers, autumn hunting, and winter playing in the snow. The war did not make her live in seclusion. Li Minglou's fairy
Cars often pass by on the streets of Taiyuan Prefecture, accompanied by countless ladies and young men accompanying them for fun.
When Li Minglou asked to go see him, half of the county government offices became lively.
At this time, several men with dusty leather robes and hats covering their heads and faces on a main road stopped and looked ahead.
Wu Ya'er raised his heavy hat, revealing his pale face, red eyes and chapped lips. His voice was hoarse: "Is this Dou County?"
