He Ying blushed when she heard the words, and said shyly: "Sister Hongchang, you are so bad that you even made fun of your cousin! Listen to what you mean, does your husband treat you badly? He comes here very late every night Resting in my room, I'm afraid I was with you before?"

Ren Hongchang's cheeks were immediately dyed red, and she said in a low voice shyly: "Sister entered the inner palace not long ago, maybe she still doesn't know how powerful your husband is. On our wedding night last year, my husband took us... We sisters already know that my husband is very energetic, so we have no objection to my husband finding more sisters for us. Moreover, my husband is not a person who likes the new and dislikes the old. He treats all the sisters in the inner palace equally, and never treats one more than another. What my sister said just now , I just hope that my sister will seize the opportunity in the recent period and let her husband stay with you, and I believe that you will be pregnant in a short time."

"Isn't that good?" He Ying hesitated, her pretty face was blushing, obviously she had taken care of it.

Ren Hongchang smiled lightly and said, "What's wrong with that. Sister Xin, Wan'er, and Sister Yu'er have given birth now, and they need a few months to recover, while my younger sister, Wuxia, and Sister Wenji are about to give birth, only you You and sister Tang Ji can serve your husband. If the two of you can't meet your husband's vigorous energy needs, I'm afraid sister Xin will arrange Jing'er and sister Yunluo to sleep with you."

Speaking of his husband Li Li's exuberant energy, Ren Hongchang was extremely calm and outspoken.However, she was still a little discouraged when she spoke, because she couldn't meet Li Li's needs. If she tried her best, it would take three to five days to recover, which would seriously hurt her vitality.Over time, she and Li Xin and other women had a tacit understanding that it would be fine if Li Li didn't come back, as long as he came back, the three of them would take turns fighting every night until Li Li was satisfied.

These words are not enough for outsiders, but He Ying is her cousin, and the two sisters have been together for many years, and their relationship is extremely deep.Now that the two cousins ​​serve one husband together, naturally they can talk about everything, they don't have any secrets, and they can tell each other bluntly.

“Wow wow wow”

With a burst of extremely loud cries, the entire backyard suddenly boiled.

While the cries of newborn babies came from the main room in the east, the first sound of the baby at birth was also heard from the side room next to the main room.

Coincidentally.The moment the child cried in the two rooms on the east, the cry of the child resounded through the inner courtyard from the first side room on the west side of the lobby.

"It was born, it was born, it was born!"

So, almost at the same time, maids from the three delivery rooms rushed into the lobby to convey the good news to everyone who had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"Report, report, report to the governor,,, sir, the first lady gave birth to a son, the second lady gave birth to a daughter,,, the third lady gave birth to a son." Three or four maids reported to everyone in the lobby about the situation in the delivery room. Condition.

"Hahaha good, good, good, good!" Although the maids couldn't speak clearly, the people waiting in the hall heard clearly.Immediately, Li Li opened his eyes suddenly, burst into laughter, and then strode out of the lobby, heading straight to Li Xin's room.

However, Li Li still did not forget to reward the maids and servants: "Decree, reward all the guards, retinues, maids, and miscellaneous servants in the county with three thousand coins, the maids in the inner palace will be rewarded with ten thousand coins, and the stable women will be rewarded with one hundred thousand coins!"

When the words fell, Li Li was already sitting gently in front of Li Xin's couch, straightening out her messy bun with eyes full of pity: "It's my husband's fault for making Madam suffer."

Li Xin, who was extremely weak, had brimming with happiness in his eyes, and lightly opened his pale lips: "My husband, don't say that, this is the blessing of my concubine. Husband, take a look at our child."

In fact, as soon as Li Li first entered the door, his mind flew to the little life beside Li Xin.The little guy is very well-behaved. Except for crying when he first came out, he stopped when his parents spoke. His thin, burnt-yellow hair stuck to his little head, his eyes seemed to be closed, and a pair of tender white hands were chaotically clutching. Side sheets.

This is his first son. When approaching the little guy, Li Li seemed very cautious. He repeatedly wiped his palms on the front of his clothes until his hands became hot, before he picked up his son.

At this time, the little guy suddenly opened his hazy eyes, grinned slightly, revealing a newborn smile.In an instant, Li Li's heart, which he thought was as hard as iron, was instantly melted, and he laughed knowingly.

Chapter 386 Yongzhou Shepherd

At the end of March in the fourth year of Chuping, the imperial edict, which had been delayed for several months, finally arrived at the residences of various princes.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu of Nanyang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Liaodong, Yizhou and other feudal princes successively received imperial edicts from the emperor.The imperial edict was proclaimed by the important ministers in the court in person, and all the three princes and nine ministers were dispatched to hold the imperial edict conferring ceremony for the princes.

At the same time when the princes of the world were granted, Li Jue, the former general of chariots and captain of Sili, was promoted again. regent.

Since then, Li Jue has ascended to the peak of the power of the Han Dynasty one year earlier than what was recorded in history.The respect of his status is even higher than that of Dong Zhuo in the past. When he entered the pilgrimage, he added festival biography, axes, and tigers.The only thing that is different from Dong Zhuo's going to the palace in the past is that there is no grand master's chair next to the dragon case, which was sold by Li Li's order before; otherwise, Li Jue would be the second Dong Zhuo at this time.

Regardless of the attitudes of the princes of all parties after receiving the imperial edict, whether they were happy or calm, or furious, none of these could affect Li Li's current good mood.

Before the emperor's edict was issued, Li Li ushered in the biggest happy event since his rebirth more than three years ago. He was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, laughed at everyone, and generously rewarded the guards, retinues, maids and backyard servants in the mansion.This is because he finally had a son. The two daughters Li Xin and Dong Wan each gave birth to a son for him, and Chen Yu gave birth to a daughter.In this way, he had two sons and one daughter at the age of only 20 years old, and he finally made his mark in the troubled times of the end of Han Dynasty, and he had successors.At this point, he can be regarded as truly integrated into this society and has his own basic blood.No longer a lonely soul in another world reborn with a rebirth.

After becoming a father again, Li Li himself changed a lot.He is diligent in government affairs, consolidates military power, vigorously cultivates cronies, and strives to restore and develop people's livelihood in Xiliang. He is dedicated to all military and political affairs, conscientiously and meticulously.In addition to dealing with military and political affairs all day long, he truly took on the responsibility of being a husband and father, caring for his wives, concubines and children.It made the inner courtyard full of laughter and laughter all day long.

Just when Li Jue was promoted to the Grand Sima in Chang'an, General Jia Xu, who was temporarily in charge of the prefect of Wuwei, rushed to the Governor's Mansion in Jicheng with more than a hundred soldiers.

The Liangzhou government office was originally located in Longxi, but now Li Li is also the governor of Liangzhou.He lived in Jicheng, Hanyang County, so the governor's office was naturally transferred to Jicheng.Not only that.General Wei's mansion also temporarily settled Jicheng.Combined with the governor's office, it is in charge of the conquest of the world, and directly governs all military and political affairs in the two prefectures of Xiliang.

In the garden of the back hall of the General's Mansion, Jia Xu was ordered to enter the inner courtyard of the mansion for the first time. He was quite flattered and acted extremely cautiously.

Follow the maid all the way to the garden pavilion.From a distance, Jia Xu saw the protagonist Li Li squatting carefully between the two cradles, gently rocking the cradle with both hands, with a knowing smile on his face.

Apparently, the baby in the cradle is accompanied by a gentle rocking.Has gradually fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Jia Xu waved her hand to signal the maid not to go forward to report, and stood thirty steps away from the gazebo, quietly waiting for Li Li to take care of the child and fall asleep before getting up to talk.

"Mr. is here, I'm waiting to see the military adviser." Just as Jia Xu was standing outside the gazebo waiting to be summoned, Li Xin, Chen Yu, Dong Wan and other women from the inner courtyard came together. Li Xin walked in the front, After seeing Jia Xu, he immediately saluted with a smile.

Naturally, Li Xin and other women don't need to salute Jia Xu and other subordinates. The reason why they bow their heads slightly is out of respect for Jia Xu.After all, he is an important minister under Li Li's command, holds an important position, has won Li Li's trust, and is quite old, now in his 40s.Therefore, Li Xin and others took the initiative to salute him, which is actually a gift from the younger generation, and it is also reasonable.

"My subordinate Jia Xu has seen the eldest lady and the ladies, all the ladies are well." Seeing Li Xin and others coming from behind him, Jia Xu quickly turned around, bowed and saluted.

Li Xin raised his hand to signal Jia Xu to get up, and said with a smile: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, I'm ashamed to wait for you. You came so fast. Just now, my husband was still talking about my husband coming today, so I asked my wife to order the kitchen to prepare a luncheon." , I don’t think that the husband has arrived. Please move to the west pavilion to serve tea, and tell the husband when I go to the concubine, and he will arrive soon.”

When Jia Xu heard this, he said respectfully with gratitude: "I have Mrs. Lao, and I thank you ladies. But the matter is not urgent, and it will not be too late to discuss it after the lord takes care of the young master and the young lady are asleep."

"Wenhe has worked hard all the way, follow me to Xiting to serve tea!" Just as Jia Xu was talking to Li Xin and others, Li Li walked over lightly, with a smile on his face, but there was no laughter. very low.Obviously, he was afraid of disturbing the child who had just fallen asleep not far away.

After bowing to Li Xin and the others again, Jia Xu followed Li Li and walked to Xiting, a hundred steps away.

After she was seated, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for your precious son and daughter! Previously, my subordinates were involved in various affairs and couldn't come to celebrate the full moon in person for the son and miss. Now it's too late. Please forgive me, my lord."

"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a laugh: "Wenhe must not talk like this. From the birth to the full moon of these three children, until now, I have not held a banquet for them to celebrate, nor have I notified the battalion generals and civil and military officials to come forward. Come on. Just make some simple arrangements in the mansion, lest Xiner and the others complain about me, that's all. A few days ago, Yuan Zhong and Wen You came to discuss the government affairs. It was not until they left that they learned that Xiner and the others had given birth. All the congratulatory gifts were rejected by me.

Now all the businesses in my prefectures and counties in Xiliang are waiting to be flourished, and the official duties of the counties and counties are heavy, and thousands of things need to be handled again.Among them, the entire territory of Xiliang needs a huge amount of money and food, and the existing money and food in the treasury alone are already stretched, so they can only struggle to maintain it.At this time of embarrassment, as the commander-in-chief of Xiliang, I should set an example. From then on, all civil and military officials under my command will keep things simple, and don't make big fuss, which will waste money and food.In addition, no expensive congratulatory gifts will be accepted for such matters in the future. Afterwards, Wenhe will formulate relevant decrees and convey them to the officials of all counties and counties, and strictly order officials at all levels to strictly implement them.

However, this matter is mainly aimed at the civil and military officials at all levels under my command in Xiliang, and the people from all over the country and the wealthy clans with no one in the clan are not included in this list.They are not restricted, they can do whatever they want, after all, they spend their own money to arrange wedding and funeral affairs, how can we interfere indiscriminately! "

Jia Xu's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he said in a respectful voice: "My lord is wise, and my subordinates will organize the officials of the governor's office to formulate relevant laws and implement this matter as soon as possible!"

"Yes. This order is only implemented within our territory of Xiliang, and there is no need for the imperial court to issue an edict, so it can be issued in the name of my general's mansion to all counties and counties." Li Li nodded and said.

Jia Xu respectfully replied: "No, this subordinate takes orders!"

After discussing the matter, Li Li said with a warm smile: "After the pacification of the whole territory of Xiliang, after half a year of restoration and development, the farming in all counties and counties has improved, the population is increasing, the law and order are good, the people can barely eat and wear, and they wantonly reclaim the fields. Seeing that the summer harvest is approaching, all counties and counties must ensure the smooth progress of the summer harvest. When necessary, the county soldiers can help the people to collect grain, try their best to return the grains to the warehouse, and not let the results of the people's hard work for half a year suffer any damage. Anyone who violates the order or fails to implement it will be severely punished, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be beheaded to show the public, so as to imitate others!"

After speaking, Li Li waved his hand to signal Jia Xu that there is no need to salute, all he needs to do is pass on the order and follow the order.Afterwards, he took a sip of warm tea and asked softly, "I wonder if Wenhe still remembers the matter of our establishment of Yongzhou last year?"

"Well, this subordinate has always kept this matter in mind and never forgot it for a moment." Jia Xu nodded in response.

Then he paused for a while, and then said: "Last year, my subordinates went to Chang'an to discuss this matter with General Li Jue. At that time, General Li Jue was noncommittal and didn't seem to be keen on it, and my lord also thought that the time was not yet ripe, so I made this decision The matter has been put on hold until now.

Liangzhou has a long and narrow territory, stretching for more than a thousand miles, with vast land and sparsely populated land.In terms of terrain, the counties south of Wuwei County, Anding, Longxi, Jincheng, Hanyang, and Beidi belong to the hinterland of Liangzhou. The terrain is relatively low and the land is relatively flat. Most of them are hilly and dry land, which can be reclaimed in large quantities.To the west of Wuwei County, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places have relatively high terrain, and the territory is mostly hilly and hilly, and there is not much land available for cultivation.Moreover, the four counties in the west are located on the border of the Western Regions, surrounded by barbarian tribes, and adjacent to the desert, which is a bitterly cold place, which is not conducive to farming, but is conducive to grazing and raising livestock, and raising war horses.In addition, the four counties in the west guard the throats of the Western Regions, and merchants from the Western Regions come and go to exchange goods.

In view of this, the subordinates suggested that the four western counties to the west of Wuwei County be divided separately, mainly engaged in animal husbandry and trade in the Western Regions, and to open up trade routes in the Western Regions as soon as possible.At the same time, our Xiliang army must strengthen its control over the four counties in the west, wipe out the bandits of foreign ethnic groups in the surrounding area, subdue the Qiang people, Xiao Yuezhi and other tribes one by one, and move them to the hinterland of Liangzhou for scattered resettlement.

Since the lord mentioned this matter last year, his subordinates have investigated in many ways, and after careful consideration, they came to this conclusion.If I want long-term peace and stability in Xiliang, I must firmly control the four counties in the west, fight against the outside world and secure the inside, suppress many barbarian tribes, repair government affairs internally, and develop people's livelihood stably.In this way, as long as the four counties in the west are safe and sound, our Xiliang army can relieve its worries and send troops to conquer the states and counties in the Central Plains.This matter has been shelved for half a year before, please make a decision, my lord! "

"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a smile after listening to Jia Xu's words quietly: "Wen He has a clear mind and a long-term vision. I think you have heard that last month, Fan Yong's troops stationed in Longxi Wuwei Battalion, Ma Chao's Longxiang Battalion stationed in Jincheng, Huan Fei and Dong Yue's Feixiong heavy armored cavalry stationed on the border of Zhangye, a total of [-] cavalry joined forces to capture the West Sea, smashed tens of thousands of Qiang barbarians, expelled Xiaoyuezhi, and recovered There are more than ten small cities around Xihai. Therefore, I intend to divide Wuwei County, Zhangye County and its affiliated countries, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County, and Xihai from Liangzhou, and form a separate state named Yongzhou. I will take it myself The governor of Yongzhou, who is also the governor of Liangzhou, and the state government is located in Wuwei County; I appoint you as the Biejia of Yongzhou, and also the prefect of Wuwei, and take charge of the government affairs of Yongzhou."

Chapter 387

After lunch.

General Wei's Mansion, inside the main hall.

Li Li did not take the main seat, but sat at the first place on the left side of the hall, talking with Jia Xu and others with a smile on his face.
