Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Li Xiu shook his head: "You don't have to think so much, you can just raise your baby with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest for you."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiu couldn't help looking at Li Yue'er's big belly, his eyes were a little softer: "Go back and rest first, if you want to eat anything, just tell the servants."

"My concubine knows."

Sensing Li Xiu's slightly soft eyes, Li Yue'er's heart welled up with a trace of joy, the corner of her mouth smiled like a crescent moon, bowed to Li Xiu, and walked out of the room calmly.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Li Xiu slowly looked away, but he couldn't help shaking his head. In the past, Li Xiu always cared about the backyard of this mansion, and never paid attention to anything.

But now, with Li Yue'er's pregnancy, her status has risen sharply, and after he revealed that he will marry his matchmaker, the backyard of the mansion is full of turmoil, but it is not weaker than the imperial court at all.

It's okay not to pay attention, but pay attention now, this backyard matter is much more difficult for him to deal with than state affairs!

But if you let it go, it would be fine before, after all, no one is much higher than anyone else, but now, with the special case of Li Yue'er, if you don't care about it, the backyard will probably be messed up!

However, this Li Yue'er's temperament is undoubtedly extremely weak, and she speaks in a soft voice. With such a personality, I am afraid that she cannot bear this responsibility...

With all kinds of thoughts going around, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. It's okay to ask him to deal with military and state affairs, but it would be embarrassing for him to deal with backyard affairs!

In the end, Li Xiu also shook his head, and suppressed these thoughts for the time being. Thinking about it now is not very useful. Anyway, after Li Yueer gave birth, how to manage this backyard will be determined by then. Based on it.

What's more, his backyard is chaotic, and the chaotic one is only the Qingong's mansion, but the capital is chaotic, and the chaos is the whole world!

However, the current situation in the capital seems to be a little weird, so weird that Li Xiu himself already feels depressed.

After the original mutiny, all the hustle and bustle, as if the freeze button was pressed, disappeared completely.

The government and the opposition are in a harmony that has never been seen before. The civil servants who were originally aggressive, also put their posture extremely low. The scene of the court is like an illusion.

And the Empress Dowager, who seemed to have changed herself, seemed to have returned to the previous appearance of not asking about state affairs. Whenever she played, she would always ask Qin Gong.

The monarch and his ministers get along with each other, and the civil and military are of the same mind. Such scenes, at this time, are undoubtedly extremely weird and funny.

In such a scenario, it is obvious that there are only two possibilities.

Or, the civil servants of the Imperial Power Group represented by Sun Chuanting and Li Banghua persuaded the Queen Mother to take the lead.

But obviously, this is unlikely. After all, as far as he knew, the queen mother's paranoia was already close to a mental illness.

Obviously, this kind of paranoia cannot be resolved by merely relying on verbal persuasion.

Excluding this possibility, there is only the last one left.

Today's harmony and calm are just the calm before the storm!

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, they were frightened by the mutiny, but this possibility made civil servants afraid, and it was justified, but for the Queen Mother, I am afraid it would be another severe stimulus!

Da da da……

Gently tapping the table with his index finger, Li Xiu also thought about this problem that had troubled him for many days.

Where did this storm come from?How did it strike?

Ever since he confirmed that the friendship was completely irretrievable, his illusory fantasy was completely shattered, and after he recognized the reality, he sat back and watched the calculations of his generals, and he even retreated again and again.

These are undoubtedly all derived from his unshakable confidence.

He is confident that no matter how noisy they are, they will never escape from his palm.

But it was precisely because of his self-confidence that it was really difficult for him to figure out where the storm would come from, how it would hit, and what kind of demands they wanted to achieve?

Is it simply wanting to expand power?

It seems, not like, that after the mutiny, he returned all the political power in the south of the Yangtze River to the cabinet, completing the last piece of the cabinet's political decision-making puzzle.

With such a retreat, if they still want to make a big move, it seems that they only have military power.

However, it is useless to let them use all kinds of schemes and schemes if they do not pass his level when it comes to military power.

Could it be... a desperate move?

Li Xiu frowned, but then subconsciously rejected this guess.

What can be done at the risk of desperation is nothing more than targeting him, Li Xiu.

Assassination?Ming kill?

But no matter how he kills, not to mention whether he can kill Li Xiu in the capital, even if he is killed, the Ming Dynasty will surely perish.

When the news spread of his death, the Beijing army would immediately rebel, not to mention the governors and supervisors who had integrated the military and the government in various places and held heavy troops.

At that time, no matter what the generals under his command think, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and even win the morale of the army.

The first thing to do is to command the capital and destroy the Ming Dynasty in the name of revenge.

If anyone has ambition, the movement of swaying the capital will only be faster!

Can they stop such a situation and save it?

Not to mention them, even if the Great Ming Taizu was resurrected and Han Xin was still alive, he would probably have to drink his hatred and die!

No matter how paranoid the queen mother is, there is one thing that she is undoubtedly extremely rational.

The emperor's throne, and the continuation of the Ming Dynasty!

All the paranoia of the queen mother is also for this reason.

In that case, this guess, obviously, is also unlikely...

At this point in his thoughts, Li Xiu seemed to have thought of something, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately rummaged through the pile of notebooks on the desktop.

Not long after, a thick stack of notebooks was placed on the table.

Xu Feng, the governor of the three sides, Zhou Yuji, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, Zhao Wu, the governor of mountains and seas, Yan Shun, the deputy commander of the Jiangnan patrol, Li Dingguo, the commander of Sichuan, Shao Zhihe, the commander of Taiyuan, and Zhang Yongchan, the commander of the Xinjin capital of Denglai Navy ...

The thick pile of memorials almost included the commanders and generals of the heavy troops stationed in various places in the world today, and almost all of them were his confidantes carefully selected by Li Xiu.

These people, at this time, played one after another, undoubtedly for one reason.

That is for his first descendant of Qin Guogong.

And the full moon banquet after the production.

He has not had a descendant's bloodline for a long time, and this long-overdue descendant's bloodline, even though it has not yet been born, has been entrusted with the hopes of many people.

If it's just pregnancy, it's hard to cause such a movement.

And what led to all this outbreak was the result of the doctor's diagnosis in the mansion that Mrs. Yan's pregnancy must be a boy. When the news came out, the generals rejoiced and cheered, one by one competing to play.

Just like these memorials, most of them are full of words of congratulations, and the last expression is a request to enter Beijing to celebrate.

As for how to celebrate, it is natural to focus on the child's full moon wine, which is undoubtedly an excellent excuse.

Before that, Li Xiu was still thinking about whether to give instructions. After all, there is a long way to go. It is not easy to go to Beijing. Besides, so many generals who are stationed in one place will enter Beijing. Although they all have lieutenants, Li Xiu still cannot avoid have concerns.

But no matter what, there is no doubt that several governors and supervisors sitting in various places will definitely use this opportunity to go to Beijing. After all, many things need a chance to talk face to face.

If that's the case... Li Xiu... seems to understand a little bit...

The vague conclusion is drawn, which is extremely clear but extremely vague.

At this moment, Li Xiu also collapsed on the seat, staring at the roof with blank eyes, in his heart, he seemed to be relieved from a heavy burden, but also seemed to have unspeakable bitterness...

Contradictions and complex, indescribable.

After a long time, Li Xiu's dull eyes slowly regained their light. He took a deep breath, and his eyes once again focused on the thick stack of notebooks on the table in front of him.

After staring for a moment, Li Xiu's expression suddenly became firm. Without hesitation, he opened up the memorabilia written by generals and commanders from all over the country. The Great Seal of Duke Qin, which represented Li Xiu's will, was also stamped on these memos one by one. on top of this.

Just let him, Li Xiu, obey the Tian family's wishes again...

If he insists on bringing about his own destruction, he has nothing to do...

Chapter 355 The Upheaval of the Grassland

Capital, Jintaifang camp.

The Daying Military Village, which was once reorganized and rebuilt as the Yongwei Battalion, has now been expanded into all the Imperial Palace garrisons.

And the pro-army who commanded all the pro-army commanded the envoys, so they were naturally located in the Jingtaifang camp at the foot of the imperial city.

In fact, since the death of Chongzhen, in just over two years, this emperor's pro-army has also undergone earth-shaking changes in terms of organizational scale and power.

In the beginning, the entire pro-army, except for the Yongwei Battalion and Jinyiwei, most of the rest of the guards were the same as the previous Beijing army, decayed to the point of disrepair.

Powers are also under the occupation of the Beijing army, leaving only the duties of guarding the palace, the imperial tomb, and wearing yellow clothes.

And these, the most important guarding of the imperial palace, are almost all controlled by the brave guards, and the rest of the guards are almost a place for the elderly.

This situation was not changed until the military reform started in the first year of Jingwu.

Strictly speaking, since the military reform officially started, the first batch of investigations and rectifications were the pro-military guards.

The Yongwei Battalion was also severely damaged in this reform. The Yongwei Battalion, which had not been restored for a long time, was once again dismantled by Li Xiu and divided into various pro-armies for reorganization and integration. This is undoubtedly Only then did the pro-army guards have considerable combat effectiveness in a real sense.

As for the power, the son of heaven has always been close to the army. His powers include guarding the imperial palace and guarding the gates of the capital. The duties of guarding various parts of the capital were occupied by the Beijing army. Now, with the reform of the pro-military system, Li Xiu naturally gave this power to The pro-army returned.

Obviously, if you look closely, the pro-army is the only military force in the capital, and the Beijing army is mostly stationed in the camps in the northern suburbs outside the capital.

From this point, it can be seen how eye-catching Lu Xiangsheng is as the commander of the pro-military capital.

It is also completely clear why the civil servants and empress dowagers tried their best to raise Lu Xiangsheng to this position.

Like Yan Shun, the former pro-army commander, Lu Xiangsheng has devoted himself to military affairs since he took office, refusing banquets from all parties, and the only thing he does is to go to Qin Gongfu to report on military affairs on a regular basis.

Even, as the commander of the pro-army, he even went into the palace only once, and that was because he took office to meet the empress dowager.

But obviously, no matter how low-key Lu Xiangsheng is, in this special period and under this special situation, he, the commander of the pro-army, is destined to be the cusp of the storm.

On the school grounds, Lu Xiangsheng, after inspecting the circle, finally stopped on the school grounds, looking at the pro-army drills, Lu Xiangsheng's heart was also full of indescribable complex feelings.

He thinks too highly of himself.

In the past, he felt that he would become an executioner, an executioner who both sides competed for.

Between loyalty and love, entangled and tormented.

Although I figured it out in the end, it was inevitable that I would feel uneasy.

Now that he took office and confirmed the situation of the pro-military, he realized that he thinks too highly of himself.

In the Beijing army, he still has the old army and has some influence, but in the pro-army formed with the old battalion of Yongwei as the backbone, he, Lu Xiangsheng, really doesn't have the slightest influence.

The generals of the Yongwei veteran battalion all rose up with the Duke of Qin, and every soldier has an inextricable relationship with the many nobles of the dynasty and with the Duke of Qin.

Although he is also Wu Xun, it is obvious that because of his entanglement with Wu Xun's plan at the beginning, other Wu Xun, and even the current pro-military generals, are obviously quite wary of him.

In name, he is the commander of the pro-army, but in fact, his position is authoritative, simply because he is the commander of the pro-army appointed by Duke Qin.

Get rid of this most basic point, he, Lu Xiangsheng, knows everything and can't do anything.

His existence naturally cannot affect any situation.

The only function may be to make Tianjia feel at ease.

Even if the future situation is irreversible, what Lu Xiangsheng can do is just be a spectator, watching the situation change, the situation will not be entangled, and it will not be his turn to control it!

This sudden gap and the psychological contrast brought about undoubtedly make people feel uncomfortable.

But vaguely, there was some relief.

At least, there is no need for him, a scholar-bureaucrat, to deal the last blow to the Ming Dynasty!

……

The situation in the capital is weird and depressing, like the calm before the storm, but in the grassland, the storm has already struck!

In May of the second year of Jingwu, it took several years to take advantage of the god-given opportunity that the Jindu was unable to intervene after the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Dan Khan, who had already unified the Mobei Grassland, sacrificed to the heavens in Chahanhot, demonstrating the unification of Mongolia and the restoration of the glorious will of Genghis Khan .

Conscripting more than 30 cavalry from various ministries in Mobei and [-] people who pull strings, they are bound to flatten Monan, reunify Mongolia, and establish Lin Danhan's inexorable achievements!

As soon as this news came out, the entire grassland was completely shrouded in thick clouds of war. After the news came out urgently, several towns on the border of the Ming Dynasty immediately entered into complete martial law and war preparations.

In Liaodong, when the news of Lin Danhan's command of Monan came, the soldiers stationed in Houjin, Liaozhen, and other places were also mobilized extremely quickly. In this way, even Shanhai Town and Denglai Town were all for this reason. And alert.

"Monan Mongolia is not that fragile, and there is no need for me to rush to send troops. When Monan Mongolia is about to fail, it will naturally send people to ask me for help. At that time, I will wait for the price to get the most Benefit."

"Besides, Daming will not just sit back and watch the unification of Mongolia. If Monan Mongolia can't hold on anymore, I'm afraid it will directly send troops to intervene."

Yuan Chonghuan held the information from the grassland in his hand and calmly analyzed it.

"Besides, even if the Duke of Qin has this determination, he is probably powerless in the current situation in the capital of Ming Dynasty."

Dai Shan gloated a little: "I have to say, those literati in Daming are still useful."

"The situation that Duke Qin tried his best to stabilize was messed up by them, making his brows burnt. Now, whether it's for us or the grassland, he, Duke Qin, can only watch."

"If Duke Qin dares to leave the capital, there must be a fire in the backyard!"
