Chapter 1214 Crossing the River
After dinner, Li Zhongyi and Li Qiniang took a walk in the back garden to digest food.
"Master, take care of yourself along the way and don't be too tired. I and the little kids in my stomach are all counting on you." Li Qiniang kept nagging and repeatedly told her, for fear that the man would be exhausted.
Li Qiniang is worthy of being a healthy and fertile fertile land. She was confirmed not long ago that she was pregnant.
Li Zhongyi smiled and grabbed her little hand and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, even if it's not for myself and for the child in your belly, I will definitely take good care of myself."
Li Qiniang was not relieved. She hooked Li Zhongyi's finger and said in a slight voice: "Master, I never care about your foreign affairs. But, for your physical affairs, I always have room for words, right?"
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that Li Qiniang was pregnant for the first time and her mood fluctuated greatly, so she was inevitably more sensitive and suspicious.
"My wife, if our child is a girl, I will definitely spoil her to the sky and never give it to the moon." Li Zhongyi had to distract Li Qiniang from wiping her corners around the bush.
"Nonsense, the child in my belly must be a little man." Li Qiniang gave Li Zhongyi a look in anger. She dreamed of giving birth to a boy, but the man insisted on being angry with her. Is it really outrageous?
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile. He actually had the idea of favoring boys over girls. After all, the huge country cannot be left to the queen, right?
When he arrived at Li Zhongyi's position, the more boys the better, so that he could fully select qualified heirs of the empire.
Most of the scenes of the end of the dynasty in history started with difficulties in offspring. For example, Jiaqing took the general among the shorts and could only choose Daoguang to ascend the throne.
Before Xianfeng died, he had no choice but to have any choice, and he had only Tongzhi, his son.
Li Zhongyi currently has only four sons, which means that there are only four options for the heirs of the empire, and the range of options is still relatively small.
After accompanying Li Qiniang through the bend, Li Zhongyi got up and left her boudoir and slowly walked to the side door.
In front of the side door, a capable team composed of close-knitted teeth has been on the verge of high gear.
Li Zhongyi walked to the "Blood Kill", gently stroked its mane, and whispered: "Blood Killer, are we going to the battlefield again, are you happy?"
"Herod..." The bloody killer, who was in human nature, was excited and raised his neck and hissed, and his right front hooves dug the ground hard, as if he couldn't wait to go to the battlefield.
Li Zhongyi stepped on the high back of "Blood Kill" and shouted softly: "Go!" Then he rode out.
For a moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the streets and alleys. The residents nearby were all surprised and wondering. They didn't know what was going on?
The residents of the capital have not smelled the smoke for a long time. The sudden sound of horse hooves on the streets awakened their painful memories in time.
At the beginning, after Emperor Taizong of Khitan defeated Shi Jin and entered Kaifeng City, the men, women, young and old all over the city became "grass valleys" that Khitans could bully and loot at will.
However, the Han dynasty in the Central Plains was defeated again and again by the Khitans and was repeatedly forced to surrender. As the defeats were too many, the ambitions of the Han people in the Central Plains were lost, and they almost changed their fear of talking about the Khitans.
If it weren't for Li Zhongyi's successive defeat of the Khitans, Kaifeng City wouldn't have been regarded as a safe city by people in just over ten years, and people migrating into the capital were endless.
Between safety and wealth, safety is always the first priority!
Most of the powerful people in the north have an inexplicable relationship with the Khitans, mainly because they are worried that the Khitans will rob their small family of their families and want to make contributions to protect themselves.
If it were not for the popularization of national education and the constraints of strict punishment and law, most ordinary people would not have been able to abandon their families and take into account the righteousness of the entire nation and the country!
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing. The unruly people with braids on their heads led the way for foreigners, and even brought ladders to help foreigners climb into the Old Summer Palace. This is a typical example of the imperial court treating the people as bad as grass, and the civilians treating the people as enemies.
When Li Zhongyi rushed to the bank of the Yellow River again at night, the control of the three floating bridges had been handed over to the hands of the nine-gate admiral Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao held the war horse and stood respectfully on the bridge, silently looking at Li Zhongyi, who was looming in the light of the torch.
"Xiaosong, the burden on your shoulders is really not light." Li Zhongyi drove the "Blood Kill" to Li Yunxiao and greeted him with a smile.
"The Lord, the subordinates have a request, please let me agree." Li Yunxiao did not smile at all. The responsibility he carried on his shoulders was so overwhelming that he was almost breathless.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will agree to you." Li Zhongyi looked at Li Yunxiao with admiration with an extremely solemn expression. If anyone is the most unlikely to betray him, the Nine Gate Admiral in front of him will definitely be one.
"My subordinate wants to be sick and not courting." Li Yunxiao said his thoughts word by word. Li Zhongyi was slightly stunned, then smiled with relief, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will follow you. You have thought very carefully. I am completely relieved to leave the capital to you."
"The handwriting, command and waist sign I gave you should not be shown easily. You should take it out when it is critical." Li Zhongyi turned his horse's head and was about to walk towards the floating bridge. Suddenly, he tightened the reins of the horse and turned his head and added, "Xiaosong, take care of it."
Li Yunxiao looked at Li Zhongyi's back as he gradually disappeared, and couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes. If it weren't for the master's hard work, how could he hold the power today and stand proudly in the court?
Don’t forget to dig wells when drinking water, and remember the source when drinking water. These popular aphorisms are all the precious life wealth that Li Zhongyi taught Li Yunxiao step by step.
After galloping for a long time, Li Zhongyi caught up with the rear of the guards. Liao Shanhe was waiting anxiously on the side of the official road, fearing that Li Zhongyi would have something unexpected to move forward with light clothes.
"Master, you have made your subordinates worry badly." Liao Shanhe endured it and finally couldn't help complaining, "Master, you have delayed something temporarily, so you should ask someone to command me, right?"
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong, so you can just nag a few less."
Liao Shanhe was speechless for a moment, but his heart was very upset. He was brave enough to admit his mistakes but refused to change. This is always Li Zhongyi's patent.
Who taught him that Liao Shanhe was the commander-in-chief of the Guards? The heavy burden of the Lord's safety was filled with him. If there was a slight mistake, it would be a big blame for even if it was broken into pieces.
Li Zhongyi knew what Liao Shanhe was worried about. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "I have hundreds of elite warriors around me to protect me, and I am in the hinterland of the army, why fear it?"
