The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 183 The war is going badly and the rebels are causing chaos
Recently, many colleagues have come to Li Shao for dinner and drinks, and they inevitably talk about matters in the court during the dinner.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he revealed to Li Shao a lot of the true situation of the current war.
He only then realized that the border war had been tense recently, and the two countries seemed to have been planning for a long time, but the army of Jing State was actually being defeated.
Moreover, it was discovered that officials in some border cities actually dared to collude with the other two countries. They had previously relied on the fact that the emperor was far away to oppress the people and withhold military pay.
Now that the coalition forces of Chu and Liao had attacked, they surrendered and switched sides immediately, which almost made the emperor die of anger.
In addition to the unfavorable border war situation, there were also rebellions everywhere in the country. According to the news that came back, they were the remnants of the prince's party.
Under the banner of "restoring orthodoxy", they say that the crown prince is the emperor destined by heaven, and the current emperor Jing Xiangting is a villain who killed his brother and usurped the throne.
It is said that Jing Xiangting, who was the Prince of Duan at the time, was respectful to the Crown Prince on the surface, but in fact he had long harbored rebellious intentions. He secretly built up his own power and killed the Crown Prince when he was completely off guard.
He killed his two elder brothers in a row and forced the Fourth Prince to flee. He was a scheming and ruthless beast who completely disregarded the feelings of his brothers for the throne.
Moreover, there were some strange circumstances surrounding the death of the late emperor. Perhaps he was the one who was behind it.
The true orthodox one should be the crown prince. Now that the crown prince is dead, the successor should be the fourth prince Jing Xiangyan, who was in the crown prince's party, and not Jing Xiangting.
Li Shao had heard of rumors like these. They should be spread deliberately throughout the country by the rebels led by the Fourth Prince to disturb the people.
We have been conducting strict investigations recently. If anyone is found making similar remarks, they will be severely punished.
"Shaozi, right now both the country and the border are in urgent need of manpower. I think the emperor will have to use you soon."
"Brother Niu, let's not talk about the generals stationed in various parts of Jing Country. There are so many capable people in our Shenwu Army. Why do we need to use me?"
Li Shao wouldn't fall into his trap. Almost all of the brothers who had been drinking with him these days said the same thing. If he went along with them, tomorrow he would be the one who "volunteered".
Seeing him like this, Niu Ben thought, it is just as they said, why doesn't this brother Li want to lead troops to fight and make a name for himself.
But thinking about the task his boss gave him before he left today, he continued, "Shaozi, you are wrong to say that. You are the strongest martial arts champion in the history of our Jing country. There are not many who can compare with you. Now that the country is in trouble, how can we not stand up."
"The emperor has agreed to give you a sinecure, but he also gave you such great favors because he thought that one day when he needs you, you would be able to contribute to the country. Now the emperor has not directly issued an order to summon you, but as a subject, isn't it right for us to take the initiative to volunteer? Do you think I am right?"
"Also, the rebels are causing chaos everywhere, and the border war is tense. I have to leave the capital in two days to quell the rebellion. I don't know when the next time I can drink with you will be!"
Although he came to persuade Li Shao, Niu Ben felt a little sad as he spoke.
Li Shao hurriedly poured him a glass of wine, "Brother Niu, drink! It's not like you to sigh and groan. As for the next time we drink together, we can drink when you come back to quell the rebellion. Why do you look like this? It's really ugly."
"Hahaha! You're right, I'm not a woman either, why are you saying such womanly things! Drink!"
……
It was already very late after the meal. When Li Shao returned home and washed up, Zhao Ye was already waiting in bed, yawning, "Husband, you're here so late today."
"Brother Niu is a talkative person when he drinks. Next time someone invites me out for a drink, I won't go. It's a waste of my time with you."
As he said that, he took off his clothes, got on the bed and held Zhao Ye in his arms.
"Husband, how can you not go when your colleagues and friends come to see you? Besides, you spend enough time with me, you should socialize more with your brothers and friends."
"Haha, my brother Ye is really sensible."
"I've always been sensible, okay!"
"Oh, my dear, Mr. Sun said that Xiaohan has a talent for studying and might even become the top scholar when he grows up! Brother Jin is not so good at it. He doesn't like reading very much and prefers to practice boxing with Master Zheng."
When it comes to Li Jin's studies, Zhao Ye feels a bit of a headache. Saying that he doesn't like reading very much is all Zhao Ye's embellishment.
Under the influence of Li Shao, Zhao Ye has now basically accepted that his younger brother should live like a man in the future, so he learns from Li Jin in the same way as Li Han.
The two children are still young and have no school to attend, so some time ago Li Shao hired a few teachers to give them education at home.
Generally, the young ladies and young men of officials learned mostly poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, chess, needlework and etiquette.
The Li family was not like that. They also found Li Shao, a teacher for those courses, and also invited all the teachers for the Four Books and Five Classics, riding, archery and martial arts, regardless of whether they were men or boys. Li Han and Li Jin studied together.
The invited teacher must treat the two children equally. Li Shao also asked the servants to sit in and observe to make sure that the teachers did not treat them differently in private.
In fact, doing this is not only for the good of the two children, but also for the good of the gentlemen.
One of the first gentlemen we invited had very old-fashioned ideas. He believed that women were virtuous if they had no talent, and should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. How could they study and practice martial arts like men?
But because the silver given by Li Shao was so huge, and he was also very good at disguising himself, he was able to get away with it.
But the restraint of one's nature could not last long. During one of his lessons with the two children, the teacher could not help but tell Li Jin that as a younger brother, he should not study with his elder brother. The younger brother's virtue lies in his lack of talent...
Li Han was very unhappy after hearing this and wanted to argue with the gentleman, but before he could open his mouth, the gentleman was knocked unconscious by two punches from the hot-tempered Li Jin and almost lost his life.
Although it was the gentleman who spoke rudely first, Li Jin was too harsh. In the end, Li Shao paid the other party some medical expenses and fired him.
So in fact, Li Shao asked the servants to watch mainly because he was afraid that another gentleman who was good at disguise would be beaten to death by Li Jin.
Seeing that Li Shao didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Ye patted his chest unhappily and said, "I'm talking to you!"
Li Shao smiled, held his hand on his chest, and kissed it on his lips. "Let the child learn whatever he likes. We don't need to worry so much. As for what Mr. Sun said about Xiaohan taking the imperial examination, just listen to it. He is probably flattering us on purpose for this high-paying job."
Zhao Ye didn't like what he said, she pouted and glared at him, "Husband, how can you say that about your own child? Why can't our Xiaohan pass the imperial examination?"
"Hahaha! Yes, you can take the exam. I was wrong. But I will definitely be the top scorer in martial arts. I'm not sure about the top scorer in literature."
"Husband!~"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
