Chapter 108 Civil and Military
After nightfall, red candles were lit in the inner courtyard, Li Lingyue hummed a little tune and was dressing up in front of the mirror.
"Why haven't Shouro come back yet?"
Zhihua was eating melon seeds behind her, and couldn't help but make fun of him, "At this time, you're just looking forward to it. Didn't the master say that he would come back later." After saying that, she folded her hands together and pretended to say, "Master, come back quickly, someone here is going to be a husband-seeking stone."
"Damn girl." Li Lingyue turned around and said angrily: "Sell you sooner or later and let you marry Sun Damazi, who is guarding the gate. Do you still dare to speak humble?"
Zhihua stepped forward, held her neck, and said with a favor: "Miss, isn't you willing to give up, right?"
"It depends on your performance." Li Lingyue looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a pink double-breasted jacket and skirt, and wanted to fold the ribbon on her slender waist tightly, which was hard to hold. A silver hairpin closed Gao Wan's blue hair, swept her eyebrows lightly, and her cherry lips were plump, which set off her almond eyes and peach cheeks. She looked like a lotus, and she looked beautiful.
The more she looked at her, she became more and more proud. She stood up and turned around and smiled, "In a few days, I will be pregnant. You have to serve Shoulang for me. At that time, you can use all your fox charming methods and keep him in our room. Otherwise, you can go and serve Sun Damazi."
Zhihua's rare face turned red, and he felt a bang in his heart, and he didn't argue with his own lady.
"Oh, you're still shy. It's really rare. Have you been thinking about it for a long time?" Li Lingyue clapped his hands and laughed.
She pinched her chin, pinched Zhihua's little butt, and sighed, "How can these few taels of meat be made? It's so hard to count on you, I have to find a few decent ones."
Zhihua's face was red and hot, just like it was boiling, and he threw himself into his ladies' arms and started making trouble.
The master and servant immediately fought again...
At this time, Chen Shou was still in the summer palace, stole a leisurely escape and sneaked into Li Lingfeng's bedroom.
Li Lingfeng is now pregnant, almost three months old, but she can't tell at all.
However, she was very careful and held her waist while walking, which was full of pregnancy.
Chen Shou came here rarely once. There were several plates of side dishes in the bedroom. Three maids served him to pour wine and cloth dishes. Li Lingfeng was lying on the bed, talking nonsense.
"Is things going well in Daming Mansion?"
Li Lingfeng is meticulous and has a clear understanding of these things. Chen Shou sometimes likes to discuss them with her.
After all, if you brainstorm, there will always be some loopholes in a person's ideas, which is difficult to cover everything.
These things are not easy to discuss with your subordinates one by one, so as not to affect your authority, so I can only discuss them with Li Lingfeng.
Chen Shou drank a glass of wine, guarded Li Lingfeng and held Zhiqin in his arms, and said, "Liang Zhongqiu's plan was not achieved in all his plans, and he forgot his righteousness when he saw small profits. He first killed Fang Jian to make all his heart lose, and then forced Cao Xing to pay for money, which made the heavens angry and the others resentful. I used his money to bribe him, and sooner or later he would kill his life."
Li Lingfeng nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you take down Daming Mansion, you have to think about how to deal with the soldiers in Youyan Hebei. What are your plans?"
Chen Shou laughed and said, "Build high walls, accumulate grain, recruit more troops, practice hard, and wait for the opportunity."
Li Lingfeng's head was lowered to her chest, pondered for a moment, and looked up and said, "I'm adding one to you to cultivate reputation."
"How to raise it?"
Li Lingfeng sat upright and said, "There are too many taxes in Daqi. If you are a narrow emperor, you can promote benevolent politics and reduce taxes. Anyway, these taxes will not fall into our hands in the end. It is better to be generous. No matter which people you are, you will sincerely hope that you can win and your actions will be twice the result with half the effort."
Chen Shou's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
I don’t rely on taxes from ordinary people, but other powerful people rely on this to make a living.
If the court has widely promoted benevolent policies but the local government does not implement them, it is said that the policies in the capital area are a hundred times or a thousand times better than theirs. Over time, people's hearts will become a big advantage.
The world that wins the hearts of the people is not just empty words, but the people's hearts are against each other. There is a huge difference between this round and again.
And as Li Lingfeng said, he had no losses at all. Those local forces that obeyed the tune and did not listen to the publicity have actually become vassal states.
If the local people can be separated from them, and the war will really start, and the people will come to welcome the king's army with a pot of rice, it will be exciting to think about it.
He stood up, walked to the bed, lowered his head and kissed Li Lingfeng's forehead.
"You are really my female military advisor!"
Li Lingfeng smiled proudly and snorted: "Li Lingyue can't imagine these things."
---
"Marquis Zhongyong is not here. If you have urgent matters, you can ask your wife for instructions."
Gao Huan was about to leave, but his eyes rolled, and suddenly he was blessed to his heart.
The wife of Zhongyonghou is extremely fierce in legend. The people of Xiliang are nicknamed: Dazhe...
Even if the Marquis didn't know that Xue Shao, he had not taken the opportunity to take over the matter. What's wrong with me, Gao Huan?
Hehe, if I told my wife, the marquis might push him if he was afraid.
Marquis, I'm sorry. He said humbly: "Go and inform me quickly, and I'll say that Gao Huan has something important to ask for a wife."
In the lobby, two maids held the lamp and heard a voice: "Who is General Gao?"
"The villain is."
"Madam, please go to the hall to talk."
Gao Huan followed the little maid into a lobby. Through the screen, he couldn't see clearly inside, and he vaguely saw two figures.
A crisp voice came out and asked, "What's the point of finding your husband?"
Gao Huan thought to himself that this was the Marquis’ wife and the second lady of Xiliang. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect her. He respectfully clasped his fists and said:
"Return to the wife... In the Zuiyue Tower in Bianliang, there are Su Li and Xue Shao, who claimed that they had some friendship with the Marquis. A subordinate of the lower official happened to hear it and came to ask if he was really the Marquis' old friend. If so, help the Marquis take him into the mansion. If not, the lower official would also be able to cure them for slander."
After Gao Huan said that, he was secretly happy. No wife was willing to pick up the brothel girl in the house. She could just use the excuse of them clinging to the marquis, intending to tarnish the reputation of the marquis and benefiting her for nothing.
His abacus was very good, but unfortunately he met Li Lingyue.
"Xue Shao? What a familiar name."
Zhihua whispered in her ear: "It's the courtesan of our Liangzhou. He is so famous. At that time, we invited her to sing and dance."
Li Lingyue rubbed her forehead and said, "I have some impression. There is no one in our house who sang a song. I bought her to relieve her boredom. If Shoulang met, it would be even better. How could Shoulang's woman stay in the tram long? If someone takes advantage of her, our family will suffer a big loss. It would be impossible to say that she took advantage of her, even if she looked at her, it would not work."
After she said that, she looked at Zhihua's little butt with malicious intentions, meaning that if you can't do it, I'll find someone who is powerful.
Zhihua is young and thin, and her figure is not very delicate and round. She wrinkled her nose and was very dissatisfied, but when she looked at her breasts, she was not as big as the lady, and she suddenly felt relieved, drooping her little head like a eggplant caused by frost.
Gao Huan was completely stunned. Wouldn't this shoot himself in the foot? Marquis himself is not an ordinary person, and he didn't expect the wife he married was even more alternative.
"It's too late today, tomorrow, I'll send someone to take her to the mansion tomorrow."
