Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Page 398



"Especially in recent years, Jingzhou, Fuzhou, and Yuezhou under your rule."

"Construct water conservancy, educate the people, and the people's livelihood can be recuperated. That is, the soldiers and taxes collected are far more than other state capitals."

"Don't worry, I will see and remember all these achievements you have made, and I will not treat you badly."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the warrior Xun hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty's favor and trust for me makes me really frightened."

"From the time when the army was raised in Taiyuan, until now, I have followed His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor for nearly twenty years."

"I have always been grateful to His Majesty and the court in my heart."

"Since becoming the governor of Jingzhou, I have no intention of doing anything."

"I just want to do more things within my capacity for Your Majesty, for my Tang Dynasty, and for these poor people."

"Neither for fame nor profit."

"There is no other plan."

"But over the past year, my body has really gotten worse and worse, and I always feel powerless."

"I'm afraid that this will ruin the important affairs of His Majesty and the court."

"Furthermore, my careless son-in-law has caused such a big trouble for Your Majesty again this time."

"If there is a minister who tells the old man to return to his hometown and stays by his side, maybe he can comfort him more, so as to avoid further trouble..."

Chapter 605

Hearing what the warrior Xun said, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing and feeling deeply.

"Samurai Yu, if I am surrounded by capable ministers like you, why should I worry about the unhappiness of the Tang Dynasty?"

"There are very few people like you."

"As for your excessive government affairs and overwork, I can accompany you to find a solution."

"But this heavy burden, you have to bear it for me no matter what."

"Only if you are here, can I rest assured that Jingzhou and Yuezhou are important military places."

"As for Li Qiu, I can also see your concern and love for these two children from the few memorials you have posted."

"However, regarding Li Qiu's worries, in recent years you can completely keep your heart in your stomach."

"Isn't he like a runaway wild horse, willing to fight?"

"It is estimated that he will have to lead the team again in a short time, and there are many battles waiting for him to fight."

"At that time, even if you return to Chang'an City, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him."

The warrior Xun didn't understand military strategy, and couldn't figure out the reason behind Li Shimin's words.

But he must know that on this occasion, what Li Shimin said must be the truth.

Just as he was frowning and thinking, Li Shimin saw that he was still hesitating and wanted to resign from office.

So he struck while the iron was hot and tried every means to dispel his doubts.

"Samurai Xun, do you think military affairs are more heavy, or government affairs are more important?"

"If you really feel that you can't do what you want, I'll see if there is any suitable candidate here, how about sending him to be your deputy?"

Hearing this, the warrior Xun was immediately overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin didn't have to pretend to cover up, euphemistically mentioned the plan of the Supreme Emperor, and Li Shimin took the initiative to mention it.

"Your Majesty's great love for the minister, how dare the minister not swear to repay it!?"

"As for the military and government affairs, it's best to find someone who has both experience and ability."

"I heard that the incident with the Cui family in Qingzhou this time came about because of Cheng Mingzhen."

"I don't know him well, but I do know a little about him..."

The samurai Xun finished speaking halfway, so he stopped talking.

But what he wanted to express was quite clear.

At this time, Li Shimin also nodded in thought.

"Well, don't tell me, this Cheng Mingzhen is a good man who can manage both the army and the people."

"There are not many officials like him in my Tang Dynasty."

"Since you intend to have him, then I will make a decree to send him to Jingzhou to be your deputy."

"I can also help you share some..."

……

On the same day, after leaving the palace, the samurai Xun went directly to the Furong Garden.

Then they, Weng and his son-in-law, found a very secluded pavilion with beautiful scenery and discussed the matter.

When he heard that the emperor and the court wanted to send Cheng Mingzhen to Jingzhou to be his father-in-law's deputy, Li Qiu naturally agreed very much.

First of all, Cheng Mingzhen is absolutely his own person now, and in the past, he would definitely do his best to serve the samurai Xun.

Secondly, this Cheng Mingzhen is really capable, and he can show his ability even more in Jingzhou, Yuezhou and other places.

Afterwards, the samurai Xun mentioned to Li Qiu again about the mobilization of a group of young soldiers in the army, and the transfer of several young generals to Jingzhou together.

Li Qiu was a little surprised that his father-in-law, who had never been involved in military affairs, suddenly mentioned this matter.

However, he didn't think too much about it, and agreed wholeheartedly.

He said that he would write a book on this matter and leave it to Cheng Mingzhen to handle it at his discretion.

It just so happens that these soldiers can be brought there together.

Nowadays, Cheng Mingzhen's status in the Youzhou Army has been rising rapidly.

Of course, this is also related to his outstanding ability and personality charm.

After staying in Chang'an City for another two days, the warrior Xun and his wife returned to Jingzhou again.

It's not that he can't stay for a few more days, it's just that the task entrusted to him by the Supreme Emperor this time is too heavy.

He has too many things he wants to do, and he can't delay.

……

In the Furong Garden, Princess Youle and Empress Changsun came here together.

Ever since the dust settled about Li Qiu, Empress Changsun has been thinking about coming over to have a look.

It's just that her old illness has relapsed recently, and her health is a little poor.

So I dragged it off until today when my body got better, and at the begging of Princess Changle, I came over to have a look together.

As soon as they entered the Furong Garden, Wu Jue, Luo Kexin and others rushed out to greet her.

Princess Youle, on the other hand, smiled lightly and rushed directly into the room where the child was.

"Lululu, my aunt is here to see you!"

Seeing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help shaking her head and smiling wryly.

"This girl has never looked the same as she grew up."

"Now that the Supreme Emperor has given the child a name, why are you still yelling?"

At this time, Luo Kexin and Wu Jue were naturally smiling, saying that it was not only Princess Youle.

Even they usually like to call it that way, Lululu has been called this name for more than two months, and they are already used to it.

Afterwards, Empress Changsun asked about the Furong Garden.

In addition, I asked Luo Kexin about the things she should pay attention to not long after her confinement.

It is said that this woman must pay more attention after giving birth, so as not to fall into the root cause of the disease.

Luo Kexin remembered all of them.

After entering the house, Princess Youle was in a good mood and kept making the children happy.

Then she looked at Luo Kexin and made a request, "Can I give him a hug?"

Hearing this, Luo Kexin and Wu Sui couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The child is still too young now, and Princess Youle has obviously never held a child.

Golden branches and jade leaves, Luo Kexin and Wu Sui were really worried about her who was carefully cared for since she was a child.

But Princess Youle's love and affection for children are all in their eyes.

It's not easy to refuse for a while.

At this moment, Queen Changsun smiled and touched her daughter's head.

"Youle, this child is too young, you can't hold it."

"In a moment, the queen mother will teach you to let you give him a try."

"Now that your wedding is approaching, it is estimated that you will be able to have your own children soon."

"As a mother, you can't rely on others to take care of your children, can you?"

Saying that, Empress Changsun felt great pity and love, and carefully hugged the child on the small bed in her arms.

And intimately posted the child's smiling face.

For a while, I really liked Empress Changsun very much.

It was as if he wanted to find in this child what he owed his son back then.

Chapter 606 Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng

Empress Changsun hugged her little grandson in her arms very lovingly, she liked it very much.

And the child also likes to be with the eldest grandson empress very much.

Being teased by Princess Youle behind her, he couldn't stop laughing.

But at this moment, the child choked on milk.

A mouthful of milk was spat on Empress Changsun's shoulder.

This time, Luo Kexin and Wu Jue were terrified.

Immediately rushed over, wanted to take the child, and hurriedly scrubbed the eldest grandson empress.

His mouth was also tense, and he kept pleading guilty.

Seeing the two of them like this, Empress Changsun couldn't help giving them both a blank look.

"Don't be so surprised that you scare the child again."

"Isn't it normal for this child to spit up milk?"

Afterwards, Empress Changsun took her time and teased the child for a while before slowly putting the child down.

Only then did the maids who followed from the palace come forward to help Empress Changsun wipe her clothes.

At this time, Empress Changsun smiled and said: "In my whole life, I have raised many more children than you."

"It's also Li Qiu and Ke Xin who are in good health as parents."

"Xiao Wenzhi, compared to other children, is already completely relieved."

"Well, you may not be able to imagine that when Your Majesty and I just had our first child."

"How difficult the conditions are."

"It was a mess."

"When I think about that time, alas, I can't help crying."

Seeing that Empress Changsun was in a depressed mood, Luo Kexin and Wu Sui hurriedly changed the topic.

"Your Majesty, I just heard from you that Princess Youle's happy event is coming soon?"

"At that time, our Furong Garden must prepare a big gift!"
