Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

During the Spring Festival, the sky is full of gunfire.

In the early morning of Lin'an City, amidst the sound of countless firecrackers, a new day was opened.

As the biggest annual festival in the Central Plains, whether it is a prince or minister or a trafficker, the family will gather together, but compared to the capital, Jiangnan has its own unique festive atmosphere.

"Your Highness, you have been lying in bed for three days!"

In the backyard of Prince Shou's Mansion, there were only a few graceful figures, one or two looked at the man lying on the bed angrily.

For three days, Yilai stretched out his hands and opened his mouth, completely turning into a giant baby.

"Isn't it only three days? I can rest for another four days..."

Li Changshou muttered a few words, then turned over and continued to sleep.

Even if the body is made of iron, it cannot bear the day and night work, and the body will lose the spirit if it can bear it.

The point is, when the holiday syndrome came, he just didn't want to go out.

"Your Highness, the people who want to come to pay New Year's greetings these days have already lined up outside the city from the gate. If you hide like this, what will happen to the people outside?"

As the housewife, Lin Luoxi stepped forward angrily and funny, pushed Li Changshou, and persuaded him with kind words.

"Yes, Your Highness, Guan Peng has blocked you for three days, but he can't stop him if he continues."

"If His Highness doesn't go out again, won't people outside laugh at the concubines?"

For a while, I could only hear chirping in my ears, and Li Changshou couldn't fall asleep because of the noise.

In the end, he could only roll his eyes, stood up and looked at the girls speechlessly, and then raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, get up alone, can you get up?"

Don't even look at who caused him to be so tired and lack of sleep?
The silent complaint fell into the eyes of the women, how could they not understand it, they all blushed and spat.

Even Lin Luoxi and Bai Luoxian couldn't rest, let alone the others?

In the past few days, the girls have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they have no intention of engaging in any palace drama. After all, even if they join forces, life is not very easy. How can there be any leisure?

What a beast!

"The group of people who celebrate the New Year are full and have nothing to do. They don't spend time with their families at home, and what to do in the orphanage. They don't have any discernment!"

Li Changshou snorted and complained coldly, and the resentful appearance made several girls burst out laughing.

Finally, under the urging and serving of the women, Li Changshou finally left the backyard.

……

"Your Highness, this is you, haven't you had a good rest?"

Someone who is celebrating Chinese New Year comes to the door every day, causing him to be kicked out. Can he rest?
Li Changshou rolled his eyes directly, too lazy to answer.

Seeing this scene, Guan Peng suddenly knew that although he was young, he was very smart, so he smiled and stopped talking, but mentioned the business, "Your Highness, Zhang Junshou and the others want to come these two days." Visited, but was dismissed by subordinates."

"Well, well done."

Li Changshou nodded, and then asked, "What did you give?"

"Master Zhang sent some calligraphy and paintings."

"Master Fang..."

"Master Zuo..."

"Qiantangfang county magistrate, cough cough, sent some special products."

The first few are pretty normal. Most of the curios and paintings are arty things, which can't attract Li Changshou's interest at all, and at best let people settle down.

But Qiantang county magistrate is an exception.

"specialty?"

"Yes, my subordinate has ordered someone to package it and temporarily put it in the warehouse. Would you like to take a look at it, Your Highness?"

Guan Peng's eyes showed that the special products sent by the Qiantang county magistrate must be extraordinary.

Li Changshou also became interested, and then went to the warehouse to open it, and it turned out that it was indeed a special product!
A large wooden box was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewels. Li Changshou didn't know whether to praise him or scold him for a mere county magistrate.

"Old rules."

In the end, Li Changshou waved his hand. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Moreover, he himself is not an upright and kind gentleman.

Since it was his intention, he naturally accepted it with a smile.

Of course, the Imperial City Secretary is not a vegetarian and has no clue. These days, he has already figured out the situation in the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

The common people still live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no such thing as the stinky wine and meat roads of the rich and frozen bones. Since this is the case, he will no longer interfere too much with some people's actions.

After all, everyone has to eat, as long as they can do things within a reasonable range.

At least in his eyes, mediocre officials are far more damning than stupid officials.

"promise!"

Guan Peng was overjoyed. The so-called old rules were to take some rewards from it to the many brothers of the Imperial City Division.

Throughout the ages, it is true that there are not many princes who are generous and generous.

"Your Highness, in fact, several other aristocratic families have also sent greeting cards, wanting to meet."

Guan Peng didn't dare to hide that the New Year's greetings he accepted without authorization were all those people who had secretly established a vassal relationship with Li Changshou, as for the other aristocratic families who had not yet expressed their views.

He didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

"Tell them they're alone."

Thinking of currying favor with him now?

late!

Li Changshou never thought of conquering all the aristocratic families in Jiangdong himself, he only needed to conquer the largest families.

For example, the Fang family, or the Zhuang family, are now in his boat, like grasshoppers on a rope, and the future of the family depends on him for its rise and fall.

As for other families?

Originally, they were all up for grabs, but who would have thought that Li Changshou would not be a bird at all.

"promise!"

Guan Peng was not surprised.

In today's Lin'an Mansion, the Fang family is respected, and at the same time the Zhuang family is assisted. The two aristocratic families were originally powerful, but now that they have Li Changshou's backing, there is a faint tendency to suppress other aristocratic families.

So the other aristocratic families couldn't sit still, they wanted to get a piece of the action first, and secondly they didn't want to fall behind others, and finally became fat sheep in the eyes of others.

"How is the progress at Jiangdong Daying?"

Compared with those big families with grass on the wall, what Li Changshou is concerned about now is the situation of recruiting troops.

Only strong soldiers and horses can play a decisive role in the near future.

Guan Peng quickly reported, "This subordinate just met Master Zuo yesterday, and now everything in Jiangdong Daying is on the right track according to His Highness's request."

As a hands-off shopkeeper, Li Changshou doesn't pay much attention to the process and details, he only needs the result.

And the result was obvious, which made him very satisfied.

Over the past few days, the Jiangdong camp has recruited nearly 2 troops.

If Li Changshou's requirements were not too harsh, let alone 2 soldiers, with such a high military salary, maybe [-] soldiers would have been conscripted!
The remaining 2 people are almost all young and strong people who can endure hardships and stand hard work, and have the idea of ​​making contributions.

"Lord Zuo has already trained soldiers according to His Highness's request, and it only takes half a year to see initial results!"

Military training is a long-term job. After all, what Li Changshou wants is an elite with one enemy against ten. Fortunately, there is a diluted potion of Da Huan Dan to assist him. Otherwise, according to his requirements, he would not be able to train an elite team within two or three years. teacher.

Anyway, he had nothing to do, so Li Changshou went straight to the Jiangdong Camp.

He also wanted to see for himself Zuo Zhixiong's military training ability.

Yes, even in the Spring Festival, Jiangdong Daying is as usual.

There is not even the slightest atmosphere of the New Year, and the shouts of killing can be heard from far away, neat and powerful.

When they arrived at Daying, Zuo Zhixiong immediately came out to greet him.

Li Changshou waved his hand and didn't say much, but went all the way in to get a panoramic view of the situation in the camp.

In the end, several people came to the handsome tent to take their seats.

"Your Highness, are there any shortcomings?"

Zuo Zhixiong asked with his hand in his hand. He himself was also an ambitious person. He could not understand the corruption and inaction of the former supervisor before, so he had no choice.

Now that he is in power, he naturally wants to make a career out of it.

"Not bad, Gu is very satisfied."

What training method can Li Changshou know?
Most of them are copied from the system, combining the advantages and disadvantages by the way. The only reference in my mind is probably Wei Wuzu and Xuanjia Army.

Everyone has his own ambitions, and his strength is not in leading the army. Professional matters must be handled by professional people.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"I hope that in half a year, General Zuo can hand in a satisfactory answer."

For half a year, the requirements are not high.

Ten thousand elite heavy infantry comparable to Wei Wuzu, and then three thousand cavalry comparable to the Xuanjia Army.

"The last general will definitely live up to His Highness's entrustment, and he is so heartbroken!"

Zuo Zhixiong is over 40 years old, and he had aspirations when he was young. However, due to bad luck, he was never reused. He finally followed General Zhao, and finally he was demoted because of General Zhao's guilt. In the end, he could only be kicked out. Jiangdong is a thousand households.

Now is the time for him to flex his muscles.

"I remember that General Zuo's skill has not improved for a long time, right?"

Li Changshou still remembered that Zuo Zhixiong broke into his mansion alone at that time, under the siege of many imperial city masters, he easily broke in, and even Guan Peng couldn't stop him.

Different from those masters in the Jianghu, Zuo Zhixiong's all abilities are obtained from fighting on the battlefield, and he is born with a unique murderous aura on the battlefield. He may not be handsome, but he is definitely a good fighter at the front line.

"The last general has indeed not made any progress for many years."

Zuo Zhixiong is also an upright person, he has not concealed and is modest, "The general has thought of various methods these years, but when he was young, he failed to join some famous schools to practice martial arts, and the general's kung fu is all on the battlefield... "

In short, since he hasn't fought on the battlefield for many years, his abilities are almost rusting, so how can he improve?
"This is a lonely panacea."

Li Changshou took out the Great Repayment Pill to buy people's hearts, no matter how upright a person is, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to repay his kindness, what he has to do is to let Zuo Zhixiong be so talented and use it for him.

In addition to giving him space to flex his fists, it is also necessary to fulfill his long-cherished wish for many years.

Showing kindness, giving kindness again and again, is the best way to win people's hearts for Zuo Zhixiong, a loyal and upright person like Zuo Zhixiong.

"Your Highness, this, this is too precious!"

Zuo Zhixiong quickly declined, but Li Changshou said with a smile, "General Zuo doesn't need to decline, everyone around him has this pill."

"Yes, Lord Zuo, Your Highness never treats those around you badly, especially loyal ministers like General Zuo. Even I have eaten this kind of panacea. Otherwise, how could I have such skill?"

Guan Peng quickly tried to persuade him, but Zuo Zhixiong was also puzzled for a while, how could Guan Peng have such a high skill at such a young age?

Now I finally understand.

"Then, the last general will be disrespectful!"

In the end, Zuo Zhixiong still couldn't resist the temptation, and after swallowing the Da Huan Pill, he immediately felt a difference.

He himself was a low-rank master, and even Li Changshou didn't expect the effect of this elixir.

With a Great Returning Pill, Zuo Zhixiong was directly promoted from a low-rank Grand Master to a Tian-rank Grand Master!

I don't know if it's because of his accumulation, or because he is a martial arts genius.

In short, feeling the changes in himself, Zuo Zhixiong directly knelt down on one knee after his breathing stabilized, "Your Highness will never forget the kindness you have given me to rebuild the last general!"

"General Zuo doesn't need to be too polite, everything is for the country and the country."

He has a secret decree, and everything he does is in accordance with the decree, and the righteousness is in his hands, so there is no need to hide it.

Li Changshou was an outsider in military training. He came to Jiangdong Camp for other purposes besides testing the results of military training.

That is the handsome talent he lacks to lead the army. Although Zuo Zhixiong is a general, he is not the best candidate.

"Your Highness, the last general has secretly arranged for someone to go to the Tianji Building, it's just a matter of the past..."

Li Changshou was well aware of what happened back then.

Emperor Qianming, the empress, the noble concubine, and some people in the court all played disgraceful roles in it.

The former Shannan Jiedu envoy, the Huo family who once frightened the nomadic people in Mobei, it is not so easy to reverse the case.

"I heard that apart from Huo Qing, the Huo family survived back then, and his mother also survived?"
