After the banquet, Li Li returned to the handsome tent with a tired look on his face, shook his slightly dizzy head, and then picked up the book on the table and looked around. ()

With a squeak, the door of the inner hall slowly opened, and Zhuge Ling, wearing a silk skirt, walked into the tent with the sobering soup that had been prepared.

"My husband, please rest for a while, don't be too tired."

Walking gently to Li Li, Zhuge Ling called softly, while lowering the tray, she whispered: "I know that my husband doesn't like socializing, so I prepare ginseng soup in advance. Husband takes a sip of ginseng soup to rest, and then read the book to make it better." While speaking, she walked behind Li Li and gently twisted Li Li's temples. Her skillful technique and moderate strength made Li Li feel comfortable, and she couldn't help but lean against her chest, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

"I didn't expect Ling'er to have such skills, which really made her look at her with admiration. If I had known that your skills were so good, I would have asked you to rub it every day to prevent me from looking through the book every day. It would be so uncomfortable." Li Li smiled knowingly, closing his eyes and smelling Zhuge Ling's refreshing body fragrance.

Zhuge Ling smiled sweetly, "My husband is too rewarded. My uncle is old and often handles government affairs like his husband until very late. After sitting for a long time, he will inevitably be dizzy and sore back. I can't share my uncle's worries, so I can only rub his shoulders, massage his back, do things within my ability, and be filial."

Li Li nodded slightly, then sat up straight, opened his eyes, reached out to wrap his hand around Zhuge Ling's slender waist, and let her sit in her arms. Zhuge Ling's pretty face turned red, turned her head to look at the door of the big tent, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that she had not come in, so she picked up the ginseng soup in the tray and fed Li Li spoonfuls to drink.

Seeing that Zhuge Ling would gently blow every time he fed a mouthful of ginseng soup, Li Li smiled and shook his head, then took the porcelain bowl and drank it dry in one breath.

"Drink slowly, don't burn it." Zhuge Ling stared at Li Li who was swallowing voraciously, took out the handkerchief from her sleeves, and gently wiped off the soup that was stained on the corner of the man's mouth.

"Well, it's so delicious!" After swallowing the last sip of ginseng soup, Li Li put down the soup bowl and hugged Zhuge Ling's waist with both hands. He smiled and said, "Ling'er is such a rare good woman. She is skillful and knows that to grasp a man's heart, you must first grab the man's stomach. Uh. I've lost my words, and I didn't say anything. Hehehe!" After a silly smile, Li Li was happy and got lost, inadvertently exposing her greed. She also pointed out a clear way for Zhuge Ling and a trick to take down General Li.

"Hihehe!" Zhuge Ling smiled sweetly, but didn't say anything. Her bright eyes stared at him affectionately, and then snuggled up to his chest, with a sweet smile on her pretty face.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. Ten days ago, I sent someone to deliver the engagement bride gift and the marriage bride gift to your uncle's house. I think in a few days, he and your brother Zhuge Jin will come to Luoyang to attend our wedding. Kong Ming told me in advance that he will not come on the day of the wedding. When his eldest nephew is born next year, he will definitely arrive. I hope you don't mind and don't blame him." Li Li smiled.

Zhuge Ling was shy when she heard this, and murmured "well" for a while before she calmed down and said softly: "Is this wedding a bit unruly? It's too extravagant to do such a big fuss. If the sisters knew about it, would they be unhappy? In fact, as long as I can follow my husband and serve him, I will be satisfied. Other things are not important, and there is no need to do it so grandly."

"Ling'er is worried too much. I have not given you the title of your wife, but in my heart, you are all my wives, no distinction between superiority and inferiority, no distinction between wives and concubines. My Li Li's women have weddings. The more concubines are, the more they should be done, and use this as compensation. You cannot let you suffer any grievances, otherwise I will be incompetent." After saying that, Li Li smiled slightly, kissed her forehead gently, and knew it in his heart.

Indeed, Zhuge Ling was just a concubine this time, and it should not be done in a big way. She just needs to take her parents and elders to the mansion and hold an introductory ceremony under the witness of the main room. She is not qualified to worship Li Li at all. The concubines of the great man and nobles are actually not much different from those of the maids who serve the bedding. They only occupy the status of the concubines. In addition, they are no different from those of the maids who serve the bedding.

However, Li Li treats his concubines differently, completely contrary to etiquette and law, and acts casually. Except for the differences in status, all his concubines and the main wife are almost the same, treating each other equally, never favoring each other. Every concubine has the same wedding as the main wife, and there are many people who have three media and six hirings. The parents, elders and relatives of the concubines are completely consistent with the main wife, and there is no distinction between the primary and secondary.

In addition, the treatment of wives and concubines after marriage is equal, including children. Nowadays, Li Li has many children. They are raised by their mothers when they are young and are not allowed to deal with others. When they grow up to four years old, their brothers and sisters will study together, spend day and night, and no longer live with their mothers. Only on holidays or when Li Li is in the mansion can the children be with their mothers, and the whole family is very lively. This is the rule set by Li Li. As for why this is the case, he has never mentioned it to any of his women, and only he knows the real intention of doing so.

??

After a gentle night, the dawn of a new day is ushered in.

The next morning, Kuaima sent five good news. Li Li was in a good mood after seeing it and laughed happily.

The battle in Qinglong Camp went smoothly. In just half a month, all counties in Henan County were recapturing one after another. The remnants of stubborn forces are being eliminated. It is expected that the entire territory of Henan County will be recovered within ten days.

The Feixiong heavily armored cavalry took over the counties around Luoyang with great smooth flow. They encountered almost no decent resistance. They all surrendered wherever the army went. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a proclamation.

It is quite troublesome to go up the mountain to suppress bandits under Bo Cai’s 50,000 infantry under the tent. There are more than ten thieves and bandits within two hundred miles around Luoyang. The bandits in other counties can be imagined. After learning that the Xiliang army was dispatched to clear the enemy, they fled and hid in the mountains and did not dare to show their heads, which increased the difficulty of suppressing bandits. Fortunately, Bo Cai, the general of the East Town, did not give it in vain. He changed the bandits to recruit bandits and bandits, posted notices, and asked the soldiers to go up the mountain to shout and summoned the bandits and bandits hidden in the mountains.

Sure enough, this method is very effective. Every day, hundreds of bandits go down the mountain and take the initiative to cooperate with the incorporation. Then, Bo ordered the confiscation of their weapons, screened a portion of the brave warriors to stay in the army, and all the remaining thieves were sent to Luoyang City as laborers; if they performed well, they would not blame them. If they performed poorly, they would not pay any money until they were properly ruled, and all the thieves who attempted to escape were beheaded.

To this day, all the troops are progressing smoothly, and by the end of the month, the entire territory of Sili can be recovered and the bandits will be eliminated. Since then, Sili has completely been under the rule of Li Li, and has been integrated with Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Shuozhou and Hanzhong. It is unified and the government will no longer be treated differently.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

The sound of rapid and brisk footsteps came into the tent. Li Li, who was writing at the desk, looked up when he heard the sound, but when Guo Jia and Jia Xu walked in with joy, there seemed to be good news again.

"The steps are light and joyful. It seems that Feng Xiao and Wenhe are here to announce the good news!" Without waiting for Guo Jia and Jia Xu to bow to see him, Li Li rose from the position of commander and walked to the hall and said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then looked at each other. After bowing to the salute, Jia Xu smiled and said, "The lord is getting more and more powerful. I will be proud of it before I know what to do, and I admire you!" He bowed his hands and pretended to be in a condolence, which made Li Li and Guo Jia laugh loudly.

After laughing, Jia Xu curled his smile a little and said with a smile: "This time, Weichen and Fengxiao brought a message, both good and bad. I wonder which one the lord wants to listen to first?"

Li Li raised his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, and then sat in the left-handed position under the hall, turned his head to Jia Xu, who was the lower head, and said with a smile: "Wenhe has always been cherishing words like gold. He has always been concise in reporting military and political affairs, but why is he so unpredictable today? It can be seen that Wenhe is in a good mood. If I guessed it wrong, the bad news is what Wenhe wants to report, but the bad news is not too bad. Is that true? Wenhe?"

"Lord, it's true." Jia Xu seemed not surprised and responded happily.

Li Li nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, great joy and sorrow are the most tormenting. I'd better listen to the bad news brought by Wenhe first."

When Jia Xu heard this, he refused to keep an eye on him and responded: "Reported to the lord, the emperor's imperial edict was issued in Jizhou. Two months later, the fifth day of the sixth month, the capital will be officially moved to Yecheng, reorganized the court, and ordered the princes of the world to go to Yecheng to watch the ceremony and meet and worship the emperor." As he spoke, Jia Xu shook his sleeves, and a book slipped down from his sleeve bag, landed on his hands, and handed them to Li Li to look at him with both hands.

He spread the bamboo slips out at random, Li Li looked ten lines at a glance, and soon he finished reading the imperial edict, with a contemplative look on his face, gently rolled up the bamboo slips and threw them on the table in front of him.

After a while, he chuckled with a smile and said, "This is expected, and it is not surprising. When the emperor returns to Ji, he naturally has to choose another imperial capital, re-establish the court, and command the world. However, Yuan Shao's blatant publicity of this matter was obviously for me, Li Li, to use this to test whether I would send troops to attack Jizhou immediately.

At the same time, this move was also clearly informed all the princes. Now the person who holds power in the world is not me, Li Li, but Yuan Benchu. Therefore, the princes in each town faced a major choice. In the future, whether to follow the leader of Yuan Shao or watch the wall. The taste of temptation is very strong. It can be seen that Yuan Benchu ​​is now full of confidence and ambitious!"

Jia Xu smiled and echoed, "What the lord said is very good. According to detailed investigations, Yecheng is also building a large-scale construction, expanding and repairing Yuan Shao's mansion, changing the chariot and cavalry general's mansion into an imperial palace, and completing the construction within two months, and the capital relocation ceremony will be held in early June. However, the lord is now stationing troops in Luoyang and sending troops to recover the entire territory of Sili. Although Sili and Jizhou are still separated from Chenliu County in Yanzhou, our army is in Henei County, and the Shangdang of Bingzhou is stationed in heavy troops, which makes Yuan Shao very afraid, for fear that our army will attack Jizhou in large numbers. Therefore, he issued an edict two months in advance, and the purpose is to test the lord. If there is any abnormal movement in our army, he will also be able to prevent it in advance so as not to be caught off guard.

As for whether Yuan Shao can succeed in using the emperor to command the princes, how much influence it will have on the various thrones, the ministers are deeply suspicious or negative. Before this, there were beautiful jades in front of him, and Yuan Shao from Jizhou was just a pick-up. Even if the emperor is in hand, how big can it cause?"

Li Li nodded slightly, smiled at Jia Xu, Guo Jia and the other two, "Now, there is only one emperor in the Han Dynasty, and things are precious because they are rare! They use the emperor to make the princes, and they are powerful and powerful. It makes people feel excited, their blood boils, and they are intoxicated. It seems that we are just being smart this time, shooting ourselves in the foot, and letting the tiger be a disaster!"

"Is it a disaster for the tiger?" Guo Jia whispered, shook his head inexplicably, and said with a laugh: "If the matter of establishing another imperial capital in Jizhou is a disaster for the tiger, then the good news that I want to report to the lord is that the plan to let the tiger return to the mountain is completed. The northern border of the tiger has now truly become a Hunjianglong, causing the situation in the Central Plains to surging."
