The next day, as Li Li said, a grand marriage ceremony was held in Meiwu City.

More than half of the main generals of the former Wuwei Army generals got married and took concubines on the same day. Li Li personally led the marriage to them and gave them a generous gift and a house.

The wives and concubines that these generals marry or take were all carefully selected by Li Li's six wives. Hundreds of young beauties were the palace maids and concubines that Huan Fei had robbed from the inner courtyard of the palace. They were impeccable in terms of appearance, figure, character and temperament, and were all beauties selected from thousands of people. Although several of them were carrying the name of concubines, they were just named but without realism and were still in perfect shape.

This is because the young emperor Liu Bian and the current emperor Liu Xie all ascended the throne in their childhood. When they ascended the throne, the eunuchs of the inner palace carefully selected a large number of concubines to enrich the inner palace, but the young emperor did not know human ethics. Since then, although many concubines have a respectable status, they are alone in the cold palace and have always kept their bodies as jade. They only have the name of concubines but have no husband and wife, which is tantamount to being a living widow.

Nowadays, although these palace maids and concubines were robbed, they were not humiliated or ravaged, but instead married the main generals of the Xiliang army. Marrying these rude generals as wives or concubines, their status is not as prominent as those of the inner palace, but compared to being a widow, it is also a good destination. Moreover, the royal family is now declining, and the little emperor Liu Xie has become a toy on the palm of the princes to fight for. The fate of these palace concubines is like willow catkins in the wind, drifting with the wind and being at peace with the situation.

Therefore, the more than a hundred palace concubines had no objection to the arrangements of Li Xin, Cai Yan and other six wives, and did not reject them at all. Instead, they were obedient and obedient. Therefore, a group of Wuwei generals from the grass-roots originated in Wuwei took a big advantage. Most of the beautiful wives and concubines they married were ladies from wealthy families, and some were ladies from famous families in various counties in the Central Plains.

He stared at the beauty standing beside him with a graceful figure, fair and tender figure, and the generals of Wuwei suddenly felt like a dream. He couldn't help but show the appearance of Brother Zhu. This scene made Li Li laugh and cry, feeling embarrassed, and he said to himself: "This group of stupid, big, black and thick guys are so unreliable, it makes me, Li Li, embarrassing you!"

Having said that, Li Li was actually very happy in his heart, and was sincerely happy for these men with affection, righteousness and iron-mindedness. From today on, they have all started their families and careers. They are no longer grassroots heroes without roots, but are generals with family and careers. Since ancient times, the battles on the battlefield are the most ruthless and cruel, with no eye-catching swords and guns. No matter how brave the general is, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not die on the battlefield. This includes Li Li himself.

Fighting for heroes in troubled times is inevitable.

At present, the two prefectures of Xiliang have not been completely pacified, and they still need to continue to conquer the princes of Liangzhou. When the Western Liang army competes in the Central Plains in the future, the fighting will become more and more fierce, and they will encounter more powerful enemy generals and dangerous battle situations.

The future is really uncertain and the good and bad luck are unpredictable.

Therefore, Li Li left a backup plan when expelling the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. On the surface, he hated the eunuchs in the palace to take power, and the palace women were full of trouble, and then drove them all out of the palace. In fact, he secretly took in most of the eunuchs and palace maids, put them under house arrest, starved their bodies and suffered their minds. After they truly surrendered, they would train them strictly and then be organized into a detailed team. They were sent to the vassal forces of the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains as eyewitnesses.

However, this takes a long time, because it is very simple to ask them to bow down and accept the master. When they meet, they will kneel down and surrender; however, it is not easy to truly subdue these eunuchs who are good at observing words and flattering. Li Li is very confident in this. Because he firmly believes that everyone has the instinct to survive and has a fear. As long as they have enough patience and perseverance torture, these eunuchs will eventually surrender completely and dare not or forget for the rest of their lives.

This method is very despicable, and Li Li himself rejects this despicable method. However, when he was born in troubled times, there was no kindness at all. This is a society where people kill and cannibalize people. The winner is the king, the loser is the thief, and any means can be used. Whoever can laugh to the end is the winner, who can write history, discredit opponents, and beautify himself.

Amid the drum and zither music, the marriage ceremony in Meiwu City continued until late at night, until the crescent moon was in the sky, and everyone dispersed. However, this unique grand ceremony did not invite a Chinese official in the court. The people participating in the wedding were all former subordinates of the Wuwei Army and the direct generals under Li Li, and there was no "outsider" at the scene.

After all, this matter should not be promoted. It is a matter of being a ruthless deed to the generals under his command to be wives and concubines. This is a great rebellion in the world. Once it spread, Li Li will bear a more infamous reputation than Dong Zhuo, and will be criticized by thousands of men, and will be famous for making money. Therefore, many people at the wedding scene did not know where these young beauties came from, and even the generals who married wives and concubines did not know about this. Huan Fei's previous Hu Xiao Camp soldiers are now among the Jinqi Guards, and they are Li Li's direct personal soldiers. These soldiers can naturally keep their mouths tight. In this way, except for Li Li and his six wives, there are only a few people who know about this, only Jia Xu, Li Xuan, Li Ru, Huan Fei and Li Zhi.

That's all.

The generals who married this time almost covered all the main generals under Li Li, including the commander of each battalion and the deputy commander, all of whom had a decline. Even Jia Xu, whose son was in his twenties, took a concubine. The only exception was Li Ru, who was a rare wife in his late Han Dynasty. In addition, he had problems with his own fertility and was in his thirties and had nothing to do so. The third lady of the Dong family could tolerate his indescribable secrets and was willing to bear the reputation of being unable to give birth. Faced with such a tolerant wife, Li Ru's wish was enough, and she was not attached to beauty and was willing to stay with her wife for the rest of her life.

However, the fact that Li Ru was unable to have children was not a secret for the generals of the Western Liang army and the officials in the court. Even many princes in the world knew about his old illness. Because when Dong Zhuo recommended him as the Central Secretariat, he told the matter publicly in the court, so many people in the court knew that Li Ru was in good health.

It is precisely because of this that Li Li promised that in front of Jia Xu and Li Xuan that the second child born to Dong Wan would become Li Ru as his adoptive father. Not only did Li Ru not feel resentful, he was grateful on the spot and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

In other words, Li Ru was full of talent and extremely intelligent, and used his own wisdom to help Dong Zhuo dominate the world. Such a talent has always been submissive because he has physical illness and always feels inferior and is extremely unconfident. Especially when facing the magnificent and burly generals, he seems particularly sensitive and timid, and he can never let himself stand up and be a human being.

It would be good if such a broken person could leave a single mark in history books, unless he was Sima Qian who wrote "Records of the Grand Historian", he could be famous in history.

——————————————

The next day, the weather suddenly changed.

As soon as the rising sun appeared, it was covered by dark clouds, and the sky became dark and gloomy.

Longxiang Li's Mansion.

This is the mansion that Dong Zhuo rewarded Li Li more than a year ago. It covers a large area. It has hundreds of houses in the courtyard, and it looks extremely empty, with pavilions, lofts, and water pavilions. Previously, the mansion was destroyed by Lu Bu's troops and was extremely dilapidated. Now, after thousands of craftsmen work overnight to repair it, it has finally returned to its former appearance, even more grand and spectacular than before.

In the main hall, Li Li and Li Jue sat opposite each other.

On the table between the two, there was a pot of hot tea that had just been cooked. The boiling water in the pot was boiling, and a strong tea fragrance emanated, floating in the open lobby.

"Wow!"

Li Li poured a cup of hot tea without any haste and handed it to Li Jue with both hands. After Li Jue took the teacup, he poured another cup for himself.

"Uncle invites tea. It is best to drink tea while it is 70% hot and 50% hot, the tea will become a little bitter and will continue to change color after that. The tea is astringent and bitter, which is not good for the body and mind, so it is not suitable for drinking again. Uncle please." He picked up the teacup with a calm expression, and Li Li explained softly.

Taking a sip of tea, Li Jue put down the teacup, stared at Li Li with his eyes, and whispered: "You are even better than I thought. A new generation has replaced the old ones, and the Li family has successors. Between our uncles and nephews, when I was at your age, I was still a ranger who was holding a five-foot sword and strolling around. At that time, I was far inferior to you; now decades of things are fleeting, and I am nearly forty years, but I am still inferior to you."

"My uncle is humble and praises my nephew too much." Li Li smiled indifferently and continued: "The greatness of my nephew is all due to my uncle's hard work in teaching for many years. I will never forget such kindness. Last year, my nephew was ordered to go to Wuwei County to take office. My uncle not only left me Longxiang Camp, but also secretly funded supplies and food. Without my uncle's help, how could my nephew live to this day? Therefore, there will never be any personal grudges between me and my uncle, only my uncle's great kindness to my nephew. In the Chang'an Rebellion, my nephew was sorry for my uncle. My nephew was willing to apologize for his crimes and asked for punishment!"

After saying that, Li Li knelt on both knees and bowed his head with shame on his face.

"You,,,,,,,," Li Li's move really surprised Li Jue, so that his expression changed drastically. He looked at Li Li in shock, as if he could not believe his eyes, and even more so that he did not believe that Li Li, the Marquis of Wuwei, who was holding 300,000 soldiers in his hand and was so powerful that the world was actually kneeling down to him.

After a while of surprise, Li Jue finally woke up, and his eyes gradually became softer. His eyes looked at Li Li with a feeling of closeness and relief.

"Get up quickly, don't let outsiders see it, otherwise how can you command the army in the future?" Li Jue stood up and helped Li Li up. Although his words were in a tone of lessons, his tone was full of care.

"Nephew, thank you for being magnanimous and magnanimous. I will not worry about past grudges. Please sit down quickly." After getting up, Li Li bowed and asked Li Jue to take his seat first.

Li Li leaned over and knelt down, resolving the long-standing knot in Li Jue's heart, causing many estrangements between his uncle and nephew to disappear in an instant, becoming filial to his uncle and nephew. The lobby was filled with strong family affection for uncle and nephew.
