A Timely Wife

Steward Zhang’s choice was correct. After Steward Zhang carried the little prince and several guards on board the boat to Songjiang Mansion, several groups of pursuers arrived one after another, but it was half a day later than Steward Zhang. After boarding the boat, the call from Songjiang Mansion had already left Nanjiang Mansion. Butler Zhang was protected almost as soon as he set foot on the boundary of Songjiang Mansion, although Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong didn't know where Butler Zhang would come from. , but there are special people waiting on the several necessary roads, and the little prince can be regarded as completely out of danger.

Since Xiong Ruoshan received the news, he has been in a bad mood. Zhou Jinyan stayed by Xiong Ruoshan's side, for fear that he would be overwhelmed. It is not fake to get along day and night, and it is not without memorable days. Even Zhou Jinyan, thinking of Xiong Ruofeng's smiling face, will feel sour, let alone Xiong Ruoshan who almost single-handedly brought up Xiong Ruofeng.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong couldn't care less about being sad, Xiong Ruoshan was entitled to be sad, because that was his half-brother, as the elder brother, he could not ask anything, don't care about anything, just to calm himself down, However, for Li Ruosong and Chengdong, what happened in Nanjiang Mansion is nothing more than another battle. This kind of internal friction is what Li Ruosong and Chengdong don't want to see the most, and they have always tried their best to avoid it. One day it will become like this. He, or their family, will inevitably have a life-and-death dispute with the courtiers. He has long been prepared to die willingly. Chengdong has always done The most important thing is to use a new system to replace another system. In this process, it will inevitably touch the core interests of some people or some groups, but the head has already been opened, and there is no room for Cheng Dong to shrink back. Even if he wanted to back down, the other party would not give him a chance to surrender and beg for mercy. Chengdong knew very well that there were only two fates for their family, a humiliating death or a glorious life.

The only thing that made Chengdong feel surprised and guilty was that Xiong Ruofeng had assumed the responsibility that should have been borne by them. Xiong Ruofeng, as an emperor who had just ascended the throne for two years, died at the hands of courtiers who were dissatisfied with the New Deal. Chengdong felt that it was all his fault. , he was too impatient, he wanted too much to avoid the hundred years of humiliation he experienced in his previous life, sometimes his thoughts were completely unrealistic, but based on his trust in him and tolerance of him, whether it was Li Ruosong or Xiong No matter Ruoshan, they are doing what he said and trying to figure out a way. Chengdong doesn't know how difficult it is to deal with those ministers, but no one finds him, no one accuses him, no one says he It's whimsical, it's not that no one said it, but that no one said him, those people all pointed their finger at the few people in front of him, his lover, his younger brother, his family, his relatives and friends, not how much he He is so powerful, but he is lucky enough to have such a group of people who are willing to protect him, firmly by his side, accompanying him, and even pulling him forward.

Chengdong looked at the little prince in his arms, a child who was only a few days old, because he was sick and eating irregularly during this period, he was so thin and his crying was pitiful, he suddenly felt that he couldn't continue like this, he couldn't Using the excuse that he likes to develop weapons, he has been hiding behind other people, and he can no longer let others bear all the consequences he brought. Cheng Dong thought, maybe it's time for him to face the wind and rain.

Li Ruosong is issuing a first-level combat readiness order to the army. This is the highest level of combat readiness order in Southern Chu. All active and retired soldiers have been ordered to assemble and recall. For the war in the north, Li Ruosong issued a death order to Wang Ziqing. Either resolve the battle within two months and wipe out Dahe completely, or he will come to see him himself. Li Ruosong has no time and energy to spend on the war in the north. It's just the foot, Li Ruosong doesn't think it's so difficult, it's just that Wang Ziqing hopes to hone the young soldiers who have joined the junior army more, so the recruit company and the veteran soldiers are mixed together and pulled to the front line in turn Go practice your hands.

The reason why Li Ruosong did not object is that he understands the difference between actual combat and drills. Soldiers who have never been on the battlefield and have seen gunpowder smoke basically have no combat effectiveness. Li Ruosong agrees with Wang Ziqing's military training method and hopes to vigorously promote it. Yes, but now, Li Ruosong feels that his original thinking has gone wrong. If the war in the north has not been resolved for a long time, they will not spend so much time and energy here. Putting it here, there would not be such a big change in Nanjiang Mansion, and Xiong Ruofeng lost his life because of it.

For Li Ruosong, this was not an accident, not an accident, but dereliction of duty. It was his failure as the supreme commander of the entire army. He regained his homeland not to cause civil strife in Southern Chu, not to let these courtiers have the time to plan what to do. Killing the emperor was not to make them think that they could get something for themselves. If soldiers like them were fighting bloody battles outside and just fed some people's appetite, then Li Ruosong felt that maybe he should reflect on himself The previous attitude, blindly forbearance will only make the other party make progress instead of repentance in the end.

Here, Wang Ziqing was given an order to end the war as soon as possible. On the other side, Wang Zize was ordered to speed up the cleanup of the bandits in the north and the bandits in the south. The intelligence bureau also made rectifications. Anyway, there was no word about this incident. Coming out always makes Li Ruosong feel that something is wrong. Even if their secrecy level is very high, people from the intelligence bureau are placed in various places. Maybe the waiter in the tavern you go to is a staff member of the intelligence bureau , it is also possible that the farmers in the farmland on the side of the road are intelligence personnel. Sometimes even Chengdong does not know who the intelligence bureau is. Get away, so that one person will not be found out, and a group of people will die, but this also has very obvious disadvantages. If something goes wrong, it is difficult to track down which link is out of touch.

Military orders and government orders continued to come out from Songjiang Mansion, and they were quickly sent to various places in Nanjiang Mansion. The situation in Nanjiang Mansion began to be controlled, and the people in the picket bureau still surrounded the political building tightly. Even if the people inside shouted to surrender No one opened the encirclement of the political building to let people out. All the courtiers who participated in this matter were arrested, and those who escaped were arrested and brought to justice. Every day, people kept shouting inside. Of course, it was nothing. Surrender and not kill, but tell them how many people have been arrested today, which ones are their so-and-so's family, which are their so-and-so's people, and which are their so-and-so's accomplices. This kind of psychological warfare has been used by pickets. Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong arrived at Nanjiang Mansion five days later, only eight people were dead in the government building, and these eight people were also seriously injured. I heard that Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong Dong came and ran out without touching the ground, begging to see Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong, but when no one saw him, he began to complain, saying that they didn't know anything, that they were just tricked, that they He wouldn't be so stupid to do such a self-destructive thing.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong didn't listen to their nonsense at all. Li Ruosong ordered the eight people to be arrested first and sent to the interrogation department for a proper interrogation. Other things will be discussed later. He has already breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as Li Ruosong comes back, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Cheng Dong hugged the little prince, followed by Li Cheng and Cheng Li brothers, Xiong Ruoshan did not come back, Li Ruosong asked Xiong Ruoshan and Zhou Jinyan to accompany Li Qi, Li Qi and Li Huang's probably not many days, Li Ruosong and It's fine if Chengdong can't stay with them, Xiong Ruoshan will definitely accompany the two old people to the end, if they are allowed to come back at this time, they probably won't have the chance to accompany the two old people again in the future.

Li Liang and Li Chen also stayed in Songjiang Mansion without hesitation. After Li Qi and Li Huang left, they still had to take over the affairs of the Li family. Although Li Liang was already the patriarch of the Li family in Liujiagou, that It's just an expedient measure. Li Liang wanted to provoke the Songjiang Li Mansion no matter what. During the time he went back to the Songjiang Mansion, Li Liang also found a lot of people to help him inquire about some brothers who were still in good relationship. According to the news, when he was stationed, although there were people from the Li family looking for them, they were all people that Li Liang would never meet and forgive. Except for these people, not all of the Li family in Songjiang was full of mud that could not support the wall. , although there are a few brothers who are collaterals, they are considered to be honest and upright. The prosperity of a family never depends on which member of the family becomes a high-ranking official, but on whether the family can produce talents from generation to generation. , Can the glory be passed on to the younger generations? It's a pity that Li Liang has not found any news of these brothers for such a long time.

Li Ruosong went to talk with Li Liang for a long time after he knew what Li Liang was thinking. Li Liang also changed his mind later. It is true that the more people in the family, the more promising people will be. There will be more, instead of putting hope on the brothers who don’t know what kind of people they are now, it’s better to put them on Li Cheng and Cheng Li. Li Cheng and Cheng Li suddenly found that their grandfather was strict with their studies. A lot, although they thought it was quite strange, but the brothers didn't think much about it, they did what their grandfather asked them to do, and they didn't refute at all, which made Li Liang very pleased, even though the doctor had clearly told them to prepare Li Qi and Li Huang's Li Liang did not feel that life was hopeless, after all, the two grandsons of the Li family would be able to pick up all the glory and status brought by Li Qi in the future.
