Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"It's okay."

Li Xiu shook his head: "After the military reform is completed, northern Xinjiang will be completely stable, and the tax reform is also the general trend."

"Over there in Jiangnan, I plan to go there in person."

"At that time, you, the governor of the three sides, will have a heavy burden."

"Brother Xiu, don't worry."

"The military reform is completed, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed on the three sides, and the sky can be lifted up again when the sky falls!"

"Absolutely nothing will go wrong!"

"Um……"

Li Xiu nodded, but his thoughts drifted unconsciously to the matter of reform.

At this time, Erwazi glanced at Li Xiu who was obviously in a daze, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Xiu!"

"Ok?"

Lost in thought, Li Xiu turned his head to look at Erwazi with some doubts.

"Brother Xiu, are you really going to help the current little emperor?"

Erwazi plucked up the courage to speak out directly the struggle that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Hearing this, Li Xiu's expression also changed, and before he could answer, Erwazi said again: "Brother Xiu, you keep saying that you want me to read more, that there are truths in the books, that reading is wise, and that you can understand the past and the present."

"I have also read a lot of books and learned a lot of truths."

Speaking of this, Erwazi stared at Li Xiu closely: "Brother Xiu, let's continue, is there really a way out?"

After saying this, Li Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but still lacked confidence.

Erwazi's voice did not stop, and his expression was mournful, as if he had completely vented the gloom accumulated in his heart.

"Brother Xiu, Da Ming has always been the Daming of the Zhu family, not the Daming of your Li family!"

"The little emperor will grow up, Brother Xiu!"

"Don't stop being disturbed by it! Brother Xiu!"

Erwazi's voice became more and more excited, and the four children playing in the yard couldn't help but look over, while the maids standing beside her were all pale and knelt down on the ground trembling.

And Li Xiu's face became more and more cold. If he was treating others, he could still scold and treat them with prestige, but he could not refute Er Wazi, the person closest to him in this life. ,

He... couldn't find a reason to refute.

"Brother Xiu, I know that you want to imitate Zhuge Liang, devote yourself to death, and leave behind a reputation that will last forever!"

At this time, seeing Li Xiu's silence, Erwazi suddenly changed the topic, and spoke out slowly as if telling the truth.

"But Daming, not the Shu Han!"

"The Zhu family is not the Liu family who lost their country!"

"Jin Yiwei monitors the world, Brother Xiu, you must know!"

"At that time, brother Xiu, you will have the eternal name you want, but brother Xiu, you have the heart to watch us brothers who have been with you to support Daming for a lifetime, and finally be crowned with unwarranted crimes and die under the sword of Daming. , generation after generation, have you been slaves and handmaids?"

Every word is like a sharp sword, piercing Li Xiu's heart fiercely, and tearing Li Xiu's ridiculous self-deception mercilessly.

"Brother Xiu, if you don't want to bear the burden of infamy, then brothers will help you!"

"Mongolia, Houjin, bandit army, as long as you want, I will contact you, and I guarantee that no one will know!"

"enough!"

Li Xiu finally stopped being silent, and yelled:

"The late emperor's kindness to me was as great as a mountain, and even at the end of his life, he handed over all the power of the government to me!"

"You treat me so kindly, how can you let me bear him, how can I bear this Daming!"

"There is no need to mention this matter again!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu's tone is also quite gentle: "Don't worry, I will take care of your worries. If the day comes when you can't do anything, I will never let you be wronged."

"The hero will always be the hero, and no one can change it."

As far as this is concerned, Li Xiu was silent for a while, and then said: "You convey this to the brothers..."

Chapter 328 Li Xiu's Essence

"I have lived up to Daming!"

At this time, Erwazi was also extremely stubborn.

"At the Battle of Bauhinia Pass, I wanted to let Mongolia go to Beijing, but I still defend Daming."

"The late emperor didn't treat me with much kindness. If he did, I should pay it back. Everything I have is given by you, Brother Xiu."

Speaking of this, Erwazi didn't say any more, she bowed her hands to Li Xiu, walked forward, picked up the little girl, greeted the other children, and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Xiu watched all this silently, but in the depths of his eyes, there was only endless confusion.

He holds the world's power in his hands and can suppress the world, but he can't control the hearts of the people.

People's hearts are unpredictable!

It's not just those arrogant soldiers under his command.

What's more, the hearts of the people in the deep palace, and the hearts of the people in this vast world!

After standing for a long time, Li Xiu turned around slowly, glanced at several maids kneeling on the ground trembling from the corner of his eyes, and sighed softly: "Paul and his family will be rich all their lives!"

Immediately, Li Xiu waved his hand, and several guards standing in the courtyard quickly stepped forward and held down several maids.

"Master, please forgive me!"

"My lord, this servant promises not to..."

Before he finished speaking, he was gagged and dragged out of the yard.

Not long after, several guards returned to the courtyard.

"General, it has been dealt with."

Li Xiu turned around slowly, looked at the guards in front of him, but suddenly said: "Do you think what Governor Xu said is right or wrong?"

"Military and state affairs, the last general does not understand, the last general only knows, what you say, general, is what it is!"

"Forget it, go to the mansion to get a sum of money and send it to the families of those maids, so that Wang can take care of it more in the next five days."

Li Xiu waved his hand and moved forward. His tall and straight body in the past suddenly felt a lot lonely, step by step, and eventually, as the door closed, he disappeared from the sight of several guards.

"The general is going to be the emperor, so don't we become the Imperial Forest Army?"

A guard couldn't help but make a sound.

"Be careful!"

A relative immediately scolded.

"We are the general's personal guards. Whatever happens to the outside world, we all need to be cautious in our words and deeds. Everything is based on the general's orders!"

……

In the room, Li Xiu leaned back in his chair, his eyes still confused. At this moment, he didn't have the slightest thought to deal with the mountain of military affairs.

He didn't even know what he was thinking.

The entanglement and confrontation of reason and reason!

A confrontation between love and reality!

The human heart... the entanglement with the original heart...

"People... can change, right?"

In the silence, Li Xiu suddenly murmured softly, seeming to be puzzled and asking himself.

He Li Xiu will change, his brothers will also change, that little emperor will also change as he grows up, and everyone in this world will also change with the environment and time...

"Ah……"

I don't know how long it took, but Li Xiu suddenly laughed. The laughter was full of self-deprecation.

He, Li Xiu, can do a knife and an axe, and die without regret?

He, Li Xiu, can he let go of his rights when he is in his prime, and leave his life and death in the hands of others?

He couldn't do it, from beginning to end, he couldn't do it!

He just keeps suppressing his true heart, his essence with affection and romantic fantasy.

In the final analysis, he is still a selfish person.

"call……"

Li Xiu let out a long breath.

He seemed to have figured everything out, but he seemed to have figured out nothing.

He sat up slowly, his gaze returned to deep, and he once again froze on the notebook of major military affairs in front of him.

Take a volume, read it, and, as always, review it.

Time passed bit by bit, and the playbook on the desktop was also reviewed bit by bit.

The military and state affairs of the Ming Dynasty were also handled bit by bit on this table.

It wasn't until late at night that Li Xiu's desk piled up like a mountain of melodies before he finished processing it.

Different from the relief in the past, this time, looking at the already empty desktop, Li Xiu felt inexplicably hesitant with nothing to do.

The door was pushed open, the lights in the courtyard had been lit, and the night sky was still bright, and it was already winter night, and there was already a bit of chill lingering around.

Ever since he came to this era and came into contact with martial arts, Li Xiu liked the night sky very much.

The starry sky of the universe is boundless and vast, deep and peaceful.

It seems that there are infinite unknowns, and there are also infinite possibilities.

In this deep tranquility, often, the heart is also calm.

It is very comfortable.

It's like accepting the baptism of this vast universe and starry sky.

However, today, with the tranquility of the universe and starry sky, it is difficult to soothe the chaos in his heart.

"Take a step, take a look!"

Finally, with a long sigh, Li Xiu stood alone in the night sky, silently.

……

A sleepless night, the next day.

Duke Qin's mansion is still the same as usual, without any change.

Li Xiu, as usual, practiced martial arts, went to court, discussed affairs, made decisions, and then went to court to deal with military affairs.

The reform is still advancing in depth, and the military reform, at least in the north, is progressing extremely smoothly when internal and external troubles are suppressing the transfer for the time being.

The entire Great Ming, and only half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River, is still chaotic and corrupt.

It's just that Li Xiu didn't put too much energy into Jiangnan when the big strategy was set.

As long as the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is not completely out of control, it will be enough.

And Liaodong, which has been in constant chaos for a long time, is naturally getting more and more boiling as the Korean War advances and spreads.

From Shanhaiguan, to Denglai Dongjiang, and then to North Korea, the main battlefield, the fighting was extremely fierce.

However, apart from North Korea, the main battlefield, the intensity in other places seems to be a question mark.

"What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"

At the head of Guangning city, Zu Dashou looked at the Shanhaiguan army stationed outside the city, full of doubts.

There is no hope of attacking Shanhaiguan, and turning the front of the troops to attack North Korea is a strategic shift set by Liaozhen and Hou Jin.

Guangning City, as the first important city in Liaodong after Shanhaiguan passed through the customs, naturally hoarded heavy troops for defense in order to prevent Shanhaiguan from backstabbing.

Regarding the combat power of the Jing army in Shanhaiguan, Zu Dashou was a little concerned, and when he was ordered to sit in Guangning, he naturally walked on thin ice and worked conscientiously, fearing that if he was not careful, the city would be destroyed.
