After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

"This is my gift to A Yan. You two will bear it for her first." Mr. Li said without any doubt, "A Yan saved my life today. I am deeply grateful. If A Yan needs anything in the future, , I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Master Shen wanted to decline after hearing this, but Lu Yan took the lead and said, "Then I will thank you on behalf of A Yan."

After saying that, he also returned a big gift to Mr. Li.

With this bow, the two of them seemed to have exchanged vows, making Master Li's words just now seem more solemn.

Lu Yan has always had a cold temperament, and this time he took the initiative to take credit for his daughter. This shows that he has a deep affection for Shen Ruoyan, and Mr. Shen is becoming more and more satisfied with his future.

After saying their thanks, the three of them sat down at the coffee table and talked about business.

Lu Yan asked: "Master Li, does he know why those people want to kill you?"

Lord Li did not answer immediately, but silently unfolded a scroll, which had many words written on it, such as "province soldiers", "set up generals", "protect armor", "raise horses" and so on.

Lu Yan and Master Shen looked at each other with solemnity in their eyes.

"Do you want to carry out reforms?" Lu Yan asked.

Mr. Li stroked his beard and slowly said the thought that had been hidden in his heart for many years:

“Since the founding of the country, Taizu learned from the lessons of the previous vassal towns’ separatist rule, took back the military and financial rights of the vassal towns, and established the Five Army Governor’s Office and the Privy Council to be in charge of the power to command and mobilize troops.

But this also caused the disadvantage that the military attache was not the actual commander, but had command power during wartime.

As Daning grows stronger, extravagance becomes more and more prevalent. People are superfluous and the official system is bloated. There are so many officials in the government, but there are very few people who can actually do things. Some officials even don’t even have their own Responsibilities are not clear.

With the decentralization of authority, many officials would shirk each other when encountering any problems, and they could not solve the actual problems. "

Lu Yan and Master Shen nodded after hearing this.

Master Li is worthy of being a veteran of the three dynasties. He is very familiar with Daning's official bureaucracy and pointed out all the shortcomings in the dynasty.

"I have been thinking about this reform book for several years, and it has only recently taken shape." Mr. Li completely regarded Shen Ruoyan's father and Lu Yan as his own, so he took out the reform book that he had written with so much painstaking efforts and gave it to them. People watch.

Mr. Shen has been up and down in the officialdom for decades. How could he not know that Daning is already a strong man on the outside but a cadre in the middle? It looks prosperous on the outside, but in fact it is already rotten on the inside.I couldn't help being impressed by Mr. Li's talent, but at the same time, I was worried about Mr. Li's safety.

Master Shen asked: "Brother Li, do you know if your reform document is really implemented, how many people's interests will be affected?"

"My children are all married, but I have only one wife who has been with me for many years." Speaking of his wife, Mr. Li's eyes showed infinite tenderness, "But if I don't dare to do this, then no one will dare to do it. I want to make some contribution to Daning in my lifetime and seek happiness for thousands of people in Daning."

After hearing what Mr. Li said, Lu Yan, who was sitting aside, didn't speak again for a long time.

The slender fingers were clenched into fists, and on the seemingly calm and calm face, the narrow eyes were filled with intense emotions.

Shen Ruoyan didn't know that she accidentally saved Mr. Li this time and allowed his reform book to come to life.

Mr. Li's plan was the prototype of the "Li Lu Reform" that was well-known in later generations. With the implementation of the "Thirteen Questions on the Reform of Military and Political Records", it will become a solid foundation for the establishment of a prosperous era.

Decades later, everyone on this land will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and will no longer have to worry about their livelihood. As long as they work hard and work hard, they will be able to live happily, realizing true peace and prosperity for the people.

Of course these are all for later.

In order not to attract attention, Mr. Li did not leave Mr. Shen and Lu Yan to chat more. They discussed for a while and then hurriedly left the Li Mansion.

Shen Ruoyan was a little surprised to see Lu Yan coming out with his father. It seemed that his father had regarded Lu Yan as one of his own and did not put any precautions against him at all.

Shen Ruoyan wanted to remind her father to be careful, but seeing the whole family's friendly attitude towards Lu Yan, Shen Ruoyan was discouraged.

I'm afraid that in the hearts of his parents, Lu Yan's status is higher than that of his biological daughter.

No matter what she says, they won't believe it.

Shen Ruoyan walked out of the Li Mansion dejectedly. She wanted to follow her brother and sister-in-law into the carriage, but was suddenly stopped by her father.

Master Shen said with a serious face: "Ayan, you are riding in the same car as us."

Shen Ruoyan saw that her father's face was wrong, and she knew something was wrong, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to get into the carriage with her father and mother.

Along the way, Mr. Shen's cursing voice could be heard intermittently in the carriage, and vaguely heard words such as "Girls' families... what kind of behavior should they go to the ancestral hall to kneel down as punishment?"

After returning home, before Shen Ruoyan returned to her room, Master Shen personally drove her to the ancestral hall.

"You are such an old man, but you are still acting so recklessly. I will punish you by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days to reflect on yourself and see if you dare to do such a thing again in the future!"

After Master Shen cursed loudly, he waved his sleeves and walked away angrily without listening to Shen Ruoyan's excuse.

Shen Ruoyan was the only one left in the ancestral hall. After kneeling for a while, Shen Ruoyan felt her knees were sore and numb. When she saw that there was no one around, she simply turned around and sat down on the futon.

There was silence in the empty ancestral hall, and the sound of wind blowing leaves occasionally came from outside the window, making the room even more quiet and silent.

Shen Ruoyan touched her flat belly and guessed that it was almost midnight now. How could she eat enough for such a large banquet? She originally wanted to go home and let Qin'er cook a bowl of porridge for her, but she didn't expect that she would be eaten by Qin'er as soon as she got home. He was taken to the ancestral hall and not even given a meal.

Shen Ruoyan was so hungry that she couldn't sleep, so she could only drag her chin and think silently.

At this time, the wooden door behind him made a soft creaking sound.

Shen Ruoyan quickly moved her body back and changed to a kneeling position, but the movement was too big and almost reached her waist.

"Ayan, don't be afraid, it's me!"

Shen Ruoyan looked back and saw that her brother Maoyao had walked in.

Closing the door softly, Shen Ruochuan sneakily walked up to his sister and took out an oil paper bag from his arms.

"Look, brother, what delicious food did I bring you?"

Shen Ruoyan looked at Shen Ruochuan's sneaky movements and asked doubtfully: "Brother, you have already come in and there is no one around. You don't need to be so cautious."

"Hey, don't you have little experience?" Shen Ruochuan touched his head, finally straightened up and said, "I have been punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall since I was a child, and you come to bring me food. Today is the first time that I have given it to my sister. There’s food.”
