Daily life of captives

Fifteen years have passed, and this bustling year has also ended. The eldest Sun Boyi resumed his daily life of going to court and asking about politics, and Li Shao also moved into the west side of the main house.

As everyone expected, Liu Zi would visit a big family every now and then, steal some good things from the house to play with, and then send them back after playing with them. Fortunately, those fun things were brought by Wu Ninghe, "stolen" All the families have good relations with Li Shao and Changsun Boyi, such as Yong Ning, Jie Jun, and Tao Wujing, so everyone cooperated tacitly, and finally let Liu Zi have a good time, and did not let Liu Zi offend Misfortune.

After taking off the white armor, Wu Ninghe transformed himself into an authentic miracle doctor. He prepared various prescriptions for Li Shao's oral administration, external application, and medicinal bath, and took care of Li Shao's medication every day. Even Lu Qiumao was regarded as a layman by Wu Ninghe, and Lu Qiumao was not allowed to make trouble. Lu Qiumao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he had no choice but to obey. Wu Ninghe's order.

Soaked in the dark brown medicinal soup, Li Shao lay down beside the tub, smiling and looking at Liu Zi squatting beside the tub.

"Sorry for occupying your seventh prince, but don't stare at me like this, I will think you are in love with me."

"I've always loved you very much," Liu Zi looked at Li Shao pitifully, pretending to be wronged, "Shao, when will you finish soaking? The weather is fine today, shall we go for a horse race in the suburbs?"

Li Shao shook his head regretfully, and said: "I don't care how long it will take, I have to ask your Seventh Prince."

Hearing this, Liu Zi turned to look at Wu Ninghe: "Seven idiots, how long does Shao want to soak?"

Wu Ninghe, who was reading a book, glanced at Liu Zi, and said calmly, "One hour."

Liu Zi suddenly became dissatisfied: "Why is there still an hour? Hasn't it already been soaked for an hour?"

Wu Ninghe glanced at Liu Zi again: "Do you understand or I understand?"

Liu Zi closed his mouth, but gave Wu Ninghe a hard look.

I don't know if it's because of the acclimatization, but the seven idiots have been in a bad mood for the past few days.

Liu Zi sat down on the ground, looking bored, which made Li Shao want to laugh.

When the eldest grandson Boyi came back from court, he saw this strange scene in the West Room: Li Shao, who had a gentle temperament, was lying on the edge of the tub and smiling softly, surrounded by water vapor, looking a little enchanting, unrestrained Liu Zi Sitting on the ground, with a dissatisfied look on his face, he occasionally raised his head to say a word to Li Shao, that expression seemed to be coquettish, and Wu Ning, who had taken off the white armor, also took off the evil spirit, and put on a green robe Afterwards, he looked like a weak scholar, but his face was expressionless, and he looked a little dull.

Wu Ninghe noticed Changsun Boyi first, but he nodded coldly at Changsun Boyi, and Wu Ninghe continued to read.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shao also noticed the eldest grandson Boyi, and smiled brightly: "Bo Yi."

Only then did Changsun Boyi lift his foot to enter the door, walked up to Li Shao, lifted Li Shao's arm, and pressed it into the water: "Don't expose your arm, it's cold."

Wu Ning and his brows trembled slightly, looked up at Changsun Boyi and Li Shao, and stood up: "I'll be back in an hour."

Before the words finished, Wu Ninghe had already left the house with Liu Zi.

Li Shao is not a weak person in his heart, nor is he a person who needs protection. He even feels that even the current Li Shao can become an exciting opponent as long as he is serious, so when he sees someone When he overprotects Li Shao, he always feels something weird, and that feeling is very uncomfortable.

Surprised, he turned his head to look at Wu Ninghe and Liuzi who were noisy and left. The elder Sun Boyi was basically used to Wu Ninghe's strange temper and Liuzi's noise.

"Want to soak for another hour?" Changsun Boyi dragged the stool Wu Ning and he had just sat on to the tub and sat down.

"En," Li Shao nodded, and then said helplessly, "I have to soak for two hours every day, and now my whole body smells like this medicine."

"It's important to take care of your body," Changsun Boyi reached into the medicinal soup and fished out a handful of medicinal residues, "What did he put in it?"

Li Shao shook his head and said, "I don't know, Wu Ning and the prepared medicines have always been unable to see the raw materials."

"Didn't you show it to Doctor Lu?"

"Don't believe Wu Ninghe?" Li Shao lay down by the tub again.

"No," Changsun Boyi shook his head, "It's just something that's used on you. If you don't figure it out, you'll get flustered."

Li Shao was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Don't worry, I have always used Wu Ning and Fangzi as the decoctions for conditioning my body these years."

"...En." Changsun Boyi nodded helplessly.

Wu Ning and that person's temper is a bit weird, it's better not to offend Wu Ninghe because of such a thing, it's rare that Li Shao's complexion has gotten better and better these days.

An hour later, Wu Ninghe came back on time, took Li Shao's pulse, and left again.

As soon as Wu Ninghe left, Wei Ze and Wei Feng carried a bucket of clean hot water into the house. Seeing that the elder Sun Boyi was here, the two brothers retreated out in a sensible way.

The eldest grandson Boyi helped Li Shao out of the barrel of medicinal bath, then sent Li Shao into another bath barrel, and then moved the stool to sit beside the barrel.

"Stay behind."

Not knowing what Changsun Boyi was going to do, Li Shao subconsciously followed what Changsun Boyi said, and suddenly realized that Changsun Boyi was about to pull out the hairpin on his head, so Li Shao hurriedly hid.

"doing what?"

"What can I do?" Changsun Boyi pushed Li Shao back and leaned against him again, "The medicinal soup is all over my hair, please wash it for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Shao bounced up again, covered his hair and said, "No need, I can do this myself."

"Hush—sit down." Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao with a smile in his eyes.

Li Shao blinked and leaned back slowly.

Obviously he doesn't smile often, but he laughs at this time, Boyi really learned badly.

Passing his fingers through Li Shao's hair, Changsun Boyi whispered, "Tell me if it hurts."

"Okay." Li Shao closed his eyes, and when he heard the sound of water coming from above his head, he suddenly wanted to cry.

This is something he didn't even dare to think about.

Carefully washed Li Shao's hair, Changsun Boyi blotted the water from his hair with a dry cloth towel, and then put his hand into the tub to test the temperature.

"The water is a little cold, have you finished washing?"

"En." Li Shao nodded.

"Where are the shoes?" Changsun Boyi turned around twice, but he didn't see where Li Shao's shoes were.

Li Shao also looked around the bathtub, but he couldn't find it: "I don't know, it seems that Wu Ninghe took it away, but I don't know where he put it."

"That's right," since he couldn't find it, Changsun Boyi didn't look for it anymore, picked up a large cloth towel and said to Li Shao, "Stand up."

Li Shao stood up according to the words of the elder Sun Boyi, and was immediately wrapped by the elder Sun Boyi with a large cloth towel. Before he had time to react, he soared into the air and was carried by the elder Sun Boyi on his shoulders.

"Hey! Boyi, let me down, I can walk by myself."

"Isn't there no shoes?" As soon as he said this, Changsun Boyi had already carried Li Shao to the bedside, and carefully put Li Shao down. Changsun Boyi pulled the quilt to cover Li Shao first, "Cover first Let’s change the quilt later.”

Being taken care of so meticulously, Li Shao suddenly felt dumbfounded: "Are you treating me like a child?"

"How can there be a child as big as you?" Changsun Boyi smiled and glanced at Li Shao, and then went to the closet to find clothes for Li Shao, "Wipe yourself dry."

Seeing the elder Sun Boyi approaching with a set of clothes, Li Shao hurriedly said: "Give me the clothes, you go out, if you come again I will call you molested."

Even Deng Yi and Yunzhu had never taken care of him like this, and Boyi couldn't stand it.

Hearing Li Shao's previous words, Changsun Boyi didn't even think about putting Li Shao's clothes on himself, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, Changsun Boyi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly rushed three steps at a time. Going to the bed, leaning over and approaching Li Shao.

The frightened Li Shao only heard a muffled sound of "dong", and Changsun Boyi's face stopped in front of his eyes.

Putting his hands on Li Shao's side, Changsun Boyi jokingly asked, "Don't you shout?"

Hearing this, Li Shao stared at his elder Sun Boyi in astonishment.

Boyi actually teased him?

Li Shao gritted his teeth, stared at the elder Sun Boyi for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "No..."

But Li Shao was gagged before he even finished shouting the first word. The face of eldest grandson Boyi who couldn't see clearly and the warmth on his lips made Li Shao's brain go blank for an instant.

And Changsun Boyi's mind was also blank.

He didn't expect Li Shao to really yell, and he kissed him when he got nervous.But I can't blame him, it's because Cai Cai's posture was too ingenious, the quickest way to stop Li Shao's mouth is to use his mouth, he just made a correct judgment...

But obviously this self-comfort didn't have any effect. When Changsun Boyi backed away, he didn't dare to look at Li Shao at all.

"You...you change your clothes and call me."

Saying that, Changsun Boyi threw his clothes on the bed, turned around and fled.

Li Shao sat on the bed blankly, raised his hand to caress his lips, and suddenly blushed.

Boyi has really grown up...to kiss so smoothly, who taught him?

Putting on his clothes, Li Shao was too embarrassed to call his elder Sun Boyi to come in again, but he was curious about what his elder grandson Boyi looked like now, so he tiptoed out of the West Room, and leaned against the door to peek out.

"Didn't you call me?"

Changsun Boyi didn't know where he came from, and suddenly stood beside Li Shao. Hearing Changsun Boyi's deep voice, Li Shao's heart skipped a beat.

"No, it's nothing, I didn't call you."

Stretching out his hand to touch Li Shao's hair, the eldest grandson Boyi took Li Shao's hand and walked to the middle of the hall, where a big brazier had already been lit, and a few dry cloth towels were still placed on the mat.

Pulling Li Shao to sit down on the mat, the eldest grandson Boyi sat behind Li Shao, wiping the water from Li Shao's hair bit by bit with a cloth towel.

The two who still felt a little embarrassed didn't look at the other.

"General!"

He rushed into the room with a stride, but Yu Shi immediately felt that he should back out. With this hesitation, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and Yu Shi hit the door frame with a "boom".

"Ouch! Hiss - it hurts..."

Li Shao and Changsun Boyi were taken aback by the sound, they all looked at Yu Shi, and couldn't help laughing at this look.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Boyi asked in a deep voice.

Yu Shi rubbed his sore shoulder, and replied: "General Qi, Mr. Xie and Mr. Yong are here to visit."

"Why are the two of them here?" Changsun Boyi frowned slightly.

In order not to let people see the close relationship between the three of them, the three of them will keep a certain distance on weekdays. Xie Jun, who was once a military adviser, now has to put on a neutral attitude and clearly "maintain" his position. Looking at Liu Ce, Yong Ning didn't get along with him in the first place, so he didn't have to act.If something hadn't happened, these two people would never have come to him together.

Li Shao took the cloth towel from the eldest grandson Boyi's hand, and said gently: "The two of them came to look for you together, it must be something important, you go."

Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao, then pulled back the cloth towel: "Yu Shi, bring the two of them here."

"Yes!" Responding loudly, Yu Shi turned and went out.

When Yu Shi returned to the main house with Jie Jun and Yong Ning, Li Shao's hair hadn't been dried yet, while the grandson Boyi was still working hard.

Xie Jun and Yong Ning were taken aback at the same time, and stood awkwardly at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Seeing this, Li Shao shook his head and laughed: "You talk to them about business, I'm going back to my room."

The eldest grandson Boyi grabbed Li Shao quickly, didn't say anything to Li Shao, only asked Xie Jun and Yongning, "What's the matter?"

Xie Jun and Yong Ning looked at each other, then smiled and said to Li Shao: "Sir, sit down too, maybe you need your help to come up with ideas."

Li Shao didn't want to sit down, but his sleeves couldn't be pulled out by Uncle Chang Sun, so Li Shao had no choice but to sit down.

When Li Shao sat down firmly, Yong Ning said with a serious face, "I came to you today to discuss with you how to arrange Tao Wujing and the others."

"Tao Wu respects them?" Changsun Boyi raised his eyebrows, "Didn't it be agreed that they would lead troops to guard the frontier?"

Xie Jun and Yong Ning looked at each other, and said hesitantly: "Yes, originally we discussed to do that, but so many things have happened in these days, I suddenly feel that they can't hold the military power."

"Don't let them hold the military power?" Changsun Boyi wiped Li Shao's hair while thinking about Jie Jun's words, "But the soldiers in their hands are all their own, if they don't let them take it suddenly, let alone Tao Wu respects them all, and those soldiers will not be willing."

"Then we have to think of a way to allow them to lead troops without letting them hold military power." Yong Ning looked at Changsun Boyi with a serious expression, "I know you regard them as brothers who can be entrusted with their lives. I don't care if they have military power in their hands, but the things in the court can't tolerate the slightest threat. In our current situation, we must let the three armies bow to you and let them only recognize you, otherwise what if My God, you and Tao Wujing have different opinions, and it will inevitably be another bloody battle."

Seeing that Sun Boyi had a sullen face and didn't know what he was thinking, Xie Jun said another crucial sentence: "Don't even think about the future. Now that you have handed over the defense of the palace to Tao Wujing, we can do everything already. It's very troublesome. They originally thought that they were equal to you, and if they hold some soldiers in their hands, they can challenge you at any time. We are not unkind, but we must act cautiously."

Hearing Xie Jun's words, Changsun Boyi suddenly remembered the obstacles he encountered when he wanted to take Li Shao out of the prison, and immediately felt that Xie Jun and Yongning's concerns were justified.

As Yong Ning said, he believed that Tao Wu respected them, and that they were a life-long friendship. He believed that they would not harm him, nor would they be detrimental to the world they jointly conquered, but wait for Zhang Wei and the others to lead their own troops After going to the frontier, the variables between them increased. After years of not seeing each other, who can guarantee that the orders issued from him will not wear away the friendship between them?

Even if they don't consider the future, just now, they have been arguing endlessly on issues related to Li Shao. If Li Shao is put into the sky prison again, he is really not sure that he will bring Li Shao out safely.

It is easy for some people to share hardships, but it is difficult to share joys and sorrows.

"If that's the case, don't give them military power."

"You have a solution?" Jie Jun and Yong Ning looked at Changsun Boyi in surprise.

They thought that they had to persuade their eldest grandson more to persuade them to treat their life-and-death friends so ruthlessly, but they didn't expect that the eldest grandson agreed unexpectedly happily.

The eldest grandson Boyi looked up at Xie Jun and Yongning, then at Li Shao, and said in a deep voice, "Confer the king."

Yong Ning was stunned, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "This method is good! Make them kings, all the fiefdoms are allocated in the frontier, and they are allowed to supervise the border guards, but they are not given the right to dispatch and command, and they will be arranged separately in the barracks of the frontier garrisons. We will be generals ourselves, and after a few years, all the military power will naturally be in our hands."

Changsun Boyi nodded, and said again: "The king guards the fief and keeps the garrison active every year."

"Okay!" Yong Ning couldn't stop laughing, "I'll go to the Minister of War when I get back later, and ask him to draw up a booklet and hand it over in the morning."

"This matter has to be settled before the enthronement ceremony, and they will be crowned kings together at the enthronement ceremony," Xie Jun looked at the elder Sun Boyi, "as soon as the enthronement ceremony is over, let them leave Beijing."

The eldest grandson Boyi lowered his eyes, and nodded after a while: "That's it, what should be done, let the minister of the Ministry of War design it carefully, and be sure to be safe. Zhang Wei is a smart man, so don't let him know the clues. "

"understood."

Xie Jun and Yongning nodded together.

After chatting for a while, Xie Jun and Yong Ning left the Tiance Admiral's Mansion together.

After all, the matter of becoming the king was worried about leaving it to others to think about, so the two went to Yongfu together, closed the door of the study room, and discussed it all night.

In General Tiance's mansion, as soon as Xie Jun and Yong Ning left, Wu Ninghe appeared at the door of the main house.

"General Changsun, is this crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?"

The eldest grandson Boyi held a comb in his hand and combed Li Shao's long hair bit by bit, ignoring Wu Ninghe's question.

Wu Ninghe didn't care too much, and said: "But it's well done, I'm a little impressed with you."

He inquired a little about Changsun Boyi, and he was very clear about how Changsun Boyi spent ten years from the commander of the rebel army to the general of Tiance. I am very clear about the bond of life and death. For a king, one should distinguish between public and private. The bond between Changsun Boyi and his soldiers fighting side by side is important, but the balance of power in the court is equally important. The minister should have more, so that the court and the country can be stable.

Now that Changsun Boyi is only supported and led by others, which of the other generals really thinks that he is inferior to Changsun Boyi?To put it bluntly, it’s just that other people gave him a little bit of slack in terms of love for his life. Now there is no difference between the king and the minister, and other people don’t have any objections. We can wait for the rules set by Changsun Boyi in the future. After the orders issued by Changsun Boyi are passed down one by one, some people will definitely feel resentful.

Why are they all fighting the world together, but only Changsun Boyi can occupy a high position and issue orders to others, but they can only obey orders?

When such doubts and resentments arise, the military power in the hands of those people is their confidence to challenge Changsun Boyi. If they want to have no worries, Changsun Boyi must take away their confidence before they feel dissatisfied.

It sounds a bit like paying back good for bad, but that's politics.

What surprised him was that he thought Changsun Boyi would not make such a quick decision, because Changsun Boyi was born as a general, especially his father was an old general, so Changsun Boyi should be a person who values ​​love and righteousness , it is probably very difficult for him to disappoint his brother...

It seems that he underestimated this man, and the man Li Shao had his eyes on really couldn't be just a passionate martial artist.

Hearing Wu Ninghe's words, Changsun Boyi turned his head and glanced at Wu Ninghe: "Thank you."

Wu Ninghe nodded, turned and left.

Finally, only Li Shao and Changsun Boyi were left in the main room, so Li Shao turned around and took Changsun Boyi's hand.

"You didn't do anything to offend them. If the positions were reversed, they would make the same decision. This is something that must be done after standing in that position. Otherwise, it will be the common people who will suffer in the future."

"I know," Changsun Boyi reached out and hugged Li Shao into his arms, "I just..."

He knows that what he is going to do is for their future, he knows that his decision is not wrong, he knows it is for the peace of the world, but one day, Tao Wujing will understand his intentions today, and then I'm afraid they brothers will never be able to do it again.
