Shen Wuhua, who had never drank before, finally understood this truth.
I sat up with a splitting headache. I didn't even know how much I drank yesterday. I only remembered vaguely hearing what Li Xingchen was reciting, and I followed him and didn't know what he said. The memory was already a little blurry, like a surging tide, but Can't see clearly what is there.
Wait, what happens next?
Shen Wuhua's eyes suddenly widened and he looked down subconsciously.
Fortunately, the clothes were still on me, but wasn't this the bed on the ship that I was already familiar with? Such a large room must not be on a ship. If you listen to the sounds outside, you should be in Guangling County.
It was already bright outside, which made her anxious to get up.
As Li Xingchen's female officer, she is responsible for His Majesty's daily life. At this time, the sky is bright, if not three poles high, then two poles high.
"Are you awake?" The gauze curtain was opened, and Li Xingchen looked at her with a smile, "You slept so soundly. I didn't even know when the boat docked. I carried you to the carriage. You staggered all the way and you disappeared. When you wake up, you can actually sleep until now."
She didn't know whether it was because she was still drunk, or because she thought that she had done such a shameful thing, Shen Wuhua's pretty face turned red again, and she subconsciously tugged at the quilt, even though her underwear was intact.
Li Xingchen handed her the bronze mirror very thoughtfully.
Looking at her disheveled appearance in the mirror, Shen Wuhua directly covered her face in shame. It's over. This time she is really embarrassed.
And Li Xingchen had never seen his little daughter behave like Shen Wuhua. He stayed in the room for a while before he came back to his senses and reached out to pull her up: "It's getting late. I'm going to see Lu Zicai and Lu Qing later." Home, get up and clean up yourself."
"This slave has lost his temper. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Shen Wuhua said hurriedly.
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "You were ordered to accompany me to drink. What's the crime? It's just that I don't know how drunk you are. If you are really guilty, I should be the one to blame."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xingchen had already strode away.
And Shen Wuhua looked at the man's back through the gaps between his fingers, and his heart was filled with waves that he had never felt before.
The shell that tightly protected her in the loneliness and cold seemed to have quietly cracked open at this time, and little bits of sunlight poured in, illuminating the darkness.
This man who holds a book and reads it carefully under the candlelight, this man who is thinking about the country and the country all the time, is also the man who sings and drinks to the lights of thousands of houses.
As if feeling something, Li Xingchen stopped when he walked to the door and turned around. Shen Wuhua, who was lifting the quilt and getting out of bed, happened to raise his head at this time. The eyes of the two people suddenly intersected. Shen Wuhua panicked and wanted to pull something off. After getting over the quilt, he was in a hurry for a while, but Li Xingchen just smiled and walked straight forward.
The movements of his hands paused, and Shen Wuhua let out a plaintive sigh.
After living for so long, this is the first time I feel so ashamed.
Li Xingchen didn't think that much. The world is so big and there are so many poor people. It is naturally impossible for Li Xingchen to help them all. He is not the Holy Mother of Savior. This time, he can help Shen Wuhua relieve some of his knots. Li Xingchen can be considered as trying his best.
Huainan governor Lu Zicai and bandit general Lu Zhiwu were already waiting for Li Xinchen. These uncles and nephews were also the first batch of people to support Li Xinchen, so Li Xinchen did not treat them badly. A local governor and a high-level miscellaneous general had already It's worthy of their efforts.
"I see your Majesty!" When Lu's uncle and nephew saw Li Xinchen, they hurriedly raised their hands and saluted.
And Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Ping Shen."
These few glasses of wine naturally had no impact on him.
"Your Majesty, please." Lu Zicai led the way and led Li Xingchen into the meeting hall.
The place where Li Xingchen stayed was actually the former palace of Chen Shuling. Since the fall of Chen Shuling, this large-scale palace was actually in a semi-abandoned state. After all, even if Chen Shuling fell, it did not mean that the ministers were qualified to enjoy the prince's property.
mansion. However, this rule was naturally invalidated after the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
The palace occupies a large area, which is in line with Chen Shuling's character. It even has a martial arts arena. Chen Shuling's disobedience is self-evident. Now part of the palace is used as the governor's office of Huainan, part of it is used as the government office of Guangling County, and the rest is
A part of the lower part and the backyard were reserved as Li Xingchen's palace. After all, no one dared to occupy the entire palace. It just gave His Majesty, who liked to run around, a place to stay.
"I crossed Guazhou Ferry last night. There are still so many young people on Guazhou Ferry. Can they return home in time to prepare for spring plowing?" Li Xingchen asked as soon as he entered the meeting hall.
Li Xingchen came to Huainan this time mainly to inspect the immigration and farming in Huainan. The phenomenon he saw yesterday naturally aroused his attention.
Lu Zicai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these young men are the common people around Guangling County, and they will gradually return home in the past two days to prepare for farming, and the affairs on the dock will be taken over by the army."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "Are all the people here at Guazhoudu from Guangling County? What about the people from other places?"
Lu Zicai stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "Your Majesty may not know something, but now the entire Huainan is being resettled and reclaimed from south to north. The main places to resettle the people are still concentrated more than a hundred miles north of the river. This has been the case since the Three Kingdoms period.
In some deserted areas.”
These more than 100 miles are actually the distance from Jiankang Prefecture, which was the capital of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, to Hefei, the important town of Wei on the Huaihe River defense line. It was also on this stretch of road that the "Battle of Xiaoyaojin" broke out
"The famous battles led to the creation of a number of famous generals such as Zhang Liao of Wei and Gan Ning of Wu.
There are also reasons for the formation of these more than one hundred miles of desolate and uninhabited land.
The State of Wei is good at land warfare, and the State of Wu is good at naval warfare. With the help of the navy, the State of Wu can easily attack Jiangbei, and with the help of the state of land, the State of Wei can easily seize the land occupied by the State of Wu in the north of Jiangbei. So when the State of Wei attacks
At that time, the Wu State relied on the natural moat of the Yangtze River to hold on. After the Wei State's army retreated, the Wu State began to cross the river to harass and plunder the people. On the contrary, after the Wu State occupied the north of the Yangtze River and wanted to reclaim land, the Wei State would launch an army attack again. Both sides
After several rounds of back and forth, with heavy losses but no gains, Wei State simply retreated to Hefei, more than a hundred miles away. Although it was still south of the Huaihe River, it was difficult for Wu State's navy to play a role, and Wu State's navy
The country also insisted on sticking to the Yangtze River and no longer moved northward on a large scale, and the two sides formed a rare tacit understanding.
This kind of tacit understanding was naturally applicable to the later Northern and Southern Dynasties, so the two sides actually established such a no-man's land from Dajiang to Shouchun and Hefei that was hundreds of miles long and nearly a hundred miles wide.
