[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

Li Yuan came to see Kejing on the third day of February. The willow trees in the pavilion sprouted buds, and dots of emerald green emerged, which complemented the spring plum blossoms with pink flowers planted in the garden.

Because of Dugu Jialuo's visit to her eldest daughter Yang Lihua, Ke Jing stopped going to Lingyun Palace for a few days, but stayed in the temporary residence to trim plum blossoms. There was something to be done, so she started to do it by herself, and this work lasted for several days.When Li Yuan found her, it was she who was holding the scissors and nimbly cutting off the branches of the plum tree.

Ke Jing was standing sideways to him against the light, with the scissors in his hands, and his expression was focused. Chun Yuan beside her saw Li Yuan outside the arch, and was about to remind Ke Jing, when Li Yuan made a silent gesture to her. posture.

His mother is the elder sister of the current empress Dugu Jialuo, and he and Yang Yong have been good brothers since childhood. In terms of identity, Ke Jing is his cousin, but he is very strange to this cousin. Even though they had been to the East Palace a few times before, they just nodded when they met, not really acquaintance.

In his initial impression of Ke Jing, he only heard a few words from Yang Yong or some other people. It was when Yang Yong came to cry and complain that he was slandered and had an affair with his servants, and he began to pay attention to this unsmiling cousin.In addition, before the beginning of the year, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent him to Chang'an to protect her and some disaster relief items to help the local victims, allowing him to see another side of Kejing.

This time, if it wasn't for Yang Yong's business, he thought it would be very difficult for him to step here.

Yuan Shi's father, Yuan Xiaoju, Li Yuan admired and respected him, Yuan's being so outstanding was also inseparable from Yuan Xiaoju's teachings, no wonder Aunt Dugu valued her so much.

"What's wrong, Chunyuan?" Sensing that Chunyuan was absent-minded, Ke Jing asked.

"That..." Chunyuan leaned close to Kejing's ear and whispered, "Ma'am, General Li is outside."

"Kacha——" cut off a small branch, Ke Jing put the scissors back on the tray in Chunyuan's hand, and looked up at the stalwart man standing outside the arch. "You go down first."

Chun Yuan blessed her body and entered the room with the tray.Ke Jing walked towards Li Yuan and said with a smile, "I've seen General Li."

"I see the princess concubine." Li Yuan knelt down on one knee, "If I bother you, please forgive me."

"Then let the general come into the room and talk about it."

Dongmei brewed two cups of fragrant tea, the water mist curled up, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of new leaves.

Ke Jing sat on the main seat, looking at his nose and heart, and occasionally chatted with Li Yuan about his recent situation. Regarding his anxious look, she deliberately chose to mediate with a relaxed tone.Although Li Yuan came to her for something, Ke Jing could see that he still didn't ask some questions because of some problems. If he didn't ask, she wouldn't choose to ask.

Maybe it's because of his status as a younger brother, Ke Jing felt that seeing him scratching his heart and liver would make her secretly happy.Perhaps, this is because she was upset about being forced to be his younger brother before, so she took the opportunity to take revenge today.

"Niang Niang, I would like to ask you something." Li Yuan suddenly knelt down on one knee and said.

"General Li is so generous, it must be really embarrassing for you. If I can help, I will try my best to help. General, please tell me."

Li Yuan sat back on his seat again, and explained everything he wanted to ask for. He answered everything Ke Jing asked him word for word.

"So, what does His Royal Highness mean to set up female officers?" Ke Jing didn't show much surprise when he asked this question, as if he was describing a very common thing.

Thinking about her attitude, Li Yuan nodded in response.

"It seems that it's not Your Highness who is bothered, but you, the general." Ke Jing took a teacup, blowing away the new leaves floating on the water, and took a sip.

"What do you mean by your mother?" Li Yuan frowned, puzzled by the calmness of the woman in front of him.Doesn't she know that women cannot interfere in government affairs?Once a woman interferes with government affairs, it is a crime to be put to death.

Putting down the teacup, Ke Jing looked at the willow tree outside, and asked: "General Li came to me to persuade Your Highness not to propose to the emperor about a woman entering the court, but has the general ever thought about it, Your Highness?" Is it the kind of person who comes up with an idea casually and acts recklessly?"

After giving Li Yuan a period of time to contemplate, Ke Jing continued: "Furthermore, the crown prince must trust you when he puts forward such an idea to the general. I am thinking that compared with the generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, your mind and vision are more important. It should be wider than His Highness, why don't you think about it from another angle, General, why His Highness has such a plan, it must not be a day or two."

"I think, maybe His Highness has seen that women's talents are not inferior to men's, or in some respects, women can make up for men's deficiencies. What's wrong with that?"

Li Yuan said: "However, it is unheard of for a woman to go to court. The Sui Dynasty is in the rising stage. If it is known by the neighbors, wouldn't it be a big laugh?"

"The general's words are very righteous." Ke Jing smiled disapprovingly, "Then I ask, does the general think that the Empress Dowager Lu is incompetent? Well, put it a little closer, the general thinks the current empress is incompetent? Knowing that without the support and advice of the empress, the Sui Dynasty might not be so prosperous today, what does the general think?"

Facing that unpainted face, Li Yuan suddenly felt powerless.

This is clearly the combination of "it's not a family, don't enter the family". Although Yang Yong just made a suggestion that time, and was rejected by him on the spot, but this time, the attitude of the Crown Princess can be said to be better than that of Yang Yong. firm.

"Heh, I don't have to support women entering the imperial court." Ke Jing softened his attitude to prevent the atmosphere from being too stiff and awkward. "It's just that I feel that some concepts of the general still need to be adjusted appropriately. The proposal will cause turmoil in the court, so I am naturally willing to stop him. Everything must be considered in the overall situation, but general, I also want to remind the general that women are not inferior to men, and underestimating women also means underestimating yourself. "

The conversation was interrupted when Yang Yong returned, and the disaster relief in Chang'an was basically coming to an end. Many victims of the disaster moved to the surrounding areas for refuge, leaving behind people with deep feelings for their homeland.

In addition to disaster relief, Yang Yong and Gao Jiong also led a group of local people to plant grass and sow grass seeds. Because the spring snow has just fallen, the water resources are relatively abundant and crops can be planted. Returning to the previous state, Gao Jiong recruited people who were willing to contribute, and asked them to clean up Chang'an Avenue for a wage of five copper coins a day.

Making a cup of hot tea for Yang Yong, Ke Jing smiled and handed it over, and asked Dongmei to bring a stove for him to warm his hands.

"No, I have to go back later." Yang Yong took a sip of tea, and the corners of his mouth were stained with tea foam. "Father is in a hurry to come back. I'm afraid I have to increase the number of people in these few days."

"Shu De, why do you have time to come here?"

"At first, General Li came to see Your Highness, and he said that there is someone who can help him, and you came before half of the conversation, General Li, what do you think?"

Reminded by Ke Jing, Li Yuan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Yang Yong looked at him suspiciously for a while, as if he didn't believe it, "The people under your command are all soldiers, can they do those rough jobs? Fighting is definitely possible, but this job..."

"Soldiers also often pull weeds and work." Li Yuan straightened his back and explained, "Don't you know that there are also fire-headed soldiers among the soldiers? I can send a few fire-headed soldiers to cook for you, which can save some money. What about expenses?"

Yang Yong nodded and said: "That's fine, then it's settled, now we need manpower urgently, you can call a few people over then."

Yang Yong put on his big cloak and went out almost without the stool being warmed up.Looking at the men who came and went in a hurry, Li Yuan couldn't help but doubt the purpose of Yang Yong's return this time.

Just for a cup of tea?If it's just like this, Chang'an will be so poor that they don't even have tea?

"Your Highness came back to see your mother." Seeing the question in Li Yuan's eyes, Chunyuan smiled and answered him, "No matter how busy Your Highness is, he will find time to come back. At first, I didn't know why he was so troublesome. , I found out later that it turned out that I was worried about my empress."

"Chun Yuan, you're the only one talking too much." Ke Jing glared at her, who just stuck out her tongue and walked away smiling.

"I have heard about the deeds of love between the empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now, it seems that the two are really a loving couple."

Ke Jing pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I made the general laugh. It's because of my lax discipline, which has cultivated their unscrupulous character. A very common thing can be passed down, and I don't want to go to it after a long time." Got it."

"That's also a fact, and it makes others envious. Otherwise, even if you give them hundreds of courages, you won't dare to spread it." Glancing at Qiutang standing at the door, Li Yuan stood up and said, "Don't bother me too much. I still need to ask you, my lady.

Ke Jing got up and smiled apologetically at Li Yuan, promising that if he could, she would try her best to stop Yang Yong's advice.Although it's not a 100% guarantee, at least Li Yuan was not as anxious when he left as when he first arrived.

Qiu Tang came over to tell her the news about A Chou that she got from Hong Lin.

Gently tapping the table with his fingers, Ke Jing propped his forehead to sort out Qiu Tang's information, and asked, "So, Ah Chou came to Jinling in mid-December last year? No one knows where she came from and what she did before. , and no one knows her real name."

"Yes."

"In that case, if we can know where she came from and what she has done before, then I can know her identity."

Kejing's finger bones collided with the table at the same frequency, making a sound like a straight line. Qiutang glanced at her, and responded without waiting for her to speak.
