In March, the official road from Chang'an to Bianjing was repaired, and there are still a few sections that need to be dried for a few days. Now it is raining in spring, and sunny days are rare, but the rain is not heavy, and there is no threat to the cement.

Shen Li came out at the end of the year, which really shocked Shen Laiqiu.

But for Shen Li, Shen Laiqiu really had no way to discipline him cruelly.First of all, Shen Li is the only child of his who has had a hard time for several years after birth. For Shen Li, he only feels distressed. How to stop it.Secondly, the family property is all bought by Shen Li. As an old man, he still relies on his son to make his fortune. How can he have the face to say unfeeling words to this hard-working child?In the end, it was Mrs. Yu who doted on the child. Although she was shocked that Shen Li actually liked men, she still felt that it was better for her child to be happy.

Even the lady agrees, so he has nothing to say, but he is very sorry, how can these two big men have children?What should I do if I have no children in the future and am lonely in my later years?

He wanted to persuade his son to raise an adopted son so that someone would take care of him in the future, but Shen Li refused.What to say, there is no need to raise a child for the sake of old age, which is unfair to the child and does not conform to the original intention of adoption.

What is the original intention of adoption?Isn't it because most of the common people have no children at home and want to prevent old age in the future?

Shen Li said: "A child is not a tool. If you just gave birth to me, you would know that I will be worthless in the future. Not only will you not be able to provide for the elderly, but you will only be able to eat the old. Are you and your mother willing to give birth to me?"

Shen Laiqiu said: "What are you talking about? No matter how good-for-nothing you are, you are my child. Once you are born, your mother and I will take care of it."

Shen Li nodded with a smile, "Yes, you raised me because you love me. If I don't love that adopted son, it would be irresponsible to raise him."

Shen Laiqiu blushed, the young man is serious, he is not ashamed to say that his parents love him.But it also makes sense, just spending money to raise a child is not enough, you have to care about that child from the bottom of your heart, otherwise, isn’t raising a child for nothing?Then again, if he really raised a white-eyed wolf, his son would still suffer.After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It is also possible to find a nephew to raise him in the future.It's really not possible, the little buds in the family, can't the little buns take care of their elder brother?It's the same, it's still a brother from a mother's womb, maybe better than the unrelated adopted son.

As for his son's liking for His Royal Highness Shizi, he couldn't hold back his son, so he could only moan and sigh every day, being disgusted and annoying by Mrs Yu, he had to go to Zhuangzi's to plant crops to relieve his boredom.

"What do you think is so good about this tough man? Why does my son like men?" Shen Laiqiu will never be able to understand, which little girl is not better than a brat?Prefers to fall in love with men.

Hearing this, Li Fu couldn't help but said: "Don't tell me, it depends on your appearance, His Royal Highness is more beautiful than ordinary girls."

Shen Laiqiu choked, that's true, there are indeed not many people as good-looking as Shi Zi, but this is not the point.

"The point is that the family's heir may not be able to take a fancy to me. He is a royal family, and I'm just a fifth-rank official." Shen Li Youyou added.

Shen Laiqiu suddenly became unhappy, "What's wrong with my son? Why doesn't he like him?"

Shen Li smiled helplessly. This is probably the family. Even if there are various people who don't like his son, he won't allow that person to look down on his own son. What kind of double standard is this?

Shen Laiqiu began to worry again, "You are alright, how come you fell in love with your son? The prince must not agree with you two being together." He was also worried that his son finally fell in love with someone, but in the end he couldn't get what he wanted. feel defeated.For the first time, he felt that he really did not bring any benefit to his son.In terms of family background, the son was extremely poor when he was born.In terms of status, the three generations of his ancestors were all farmers facing the loess and back to the sky.If it weren't for his son's success, he would have been an old farmer farming for generations.What did he use to support his son to persuade the prince to marry the noble son of the prince's family with the farmer's son in his own family?

But Shen Li didn't know the old father's worries, he believed in his son, and he also believed in himself.If the status is really unequal and the prince disagrees, he will also find a way to raise the rank of the sect.Moreover, Wen Bohe had already told him that there is no need to worry too much, he has a way to persuade the prince and princess.

Shen Li was also curious about what kind of persuasion he used, but this guy was unwilling to tell him, and Shen Li had no choice.

Emperor Xuan knew about it when King An sued him.To be honest, he didn't quite understand how these two people had such an idea, but after all, he wasn't his own son, so there was a layer of separation between them.Even if you know, so what?Could it be that they were ordered to be beheaded?

King An said with resentment on his face: "Brother Huang, I know that you like Shen Li's child. But no matter how good he is, he shouldn't abduct my child. I am only a promising son, and the rest are not up to date." Bastard. My son is only in his early twenties, and he doesn’t even have a concubine, let alone a child. He is sincerely with a man, what should he do, the heir of my palace? Who will pay for it? Me? The princess is crying with me in the mansion now, but what is the use of crying with me? I hope you can help me, Brother Huang, alas!"

Emperor Xuan pondered for a while, "If you really don't want the two of them to be together, there is a way."

Wang An said happily: "Brother Huang, teach me!"

Emperor Xuan said with a smile: "Men, most of them value future more than love. If you are not willing, you can threaten him with a replacement son. At that time, he will be able to think clearly about what is most important."

King An shook his head and said: "It's not right, if you do this, the princess will hate me to death." Bai He is her reverse scale, touching it will kill her, he dare not threaten his son with this.

Emperor Xuan said: "Then we can only tell them to stay far away. But after all, Shen Li did not make a mistake, because it is really inappropriate to relegate him. My little boy likes him the most, and he will inevitably quarrel with me."

King An was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "My wicked son, he insisted in front of me that he was pestering Shen Li, and now the well-informed people know that he likes Shen Li's child and wants to take it by force. In fact, I don't know if he What are you thinking? I just want to bear the infamy. Shen Li and him, neither of them is innocent. I don't care who wants to plunder, I will be a man who beats mandarin ducks today. Don't even think about doing anything out of the ordinary!"

Emperor Xuan also had a headache. He originally wanted Shen Li to take root in the Ministry of Industry. After a few years, he would enter the Minister of Ministers and wait for the selection of the crown prince. After a hundred years, he would ask the crown prince to make him prime minister.Only in this way can a good story about a generation of monarchs and ministers be achieved.But now Wang An begged himself...

Emperor Xuan said: "To be honest, Shen Li is of great use to me. Even if Shen Li likes which of my emperor's sons, I can't relegate this person to a distant place forever. It's not my decision, but Dazhao's decision." The fate of the country forced me to make such a decision. You have also seen that although Dazhao has not been smooth sailing these years, it has become stronger because of Shen Li. In six years at most, Shen Li will enter one of the three provinces."

King An's toothache hurts, but there is nothing he can do about it. Doesn't he know how important Shen Li is?It's just that I have been unwilling to face it.

"What if Bai He went to find him?"

Emperor Xuan sighed, "It depends on your willingness to part with it."

"Brother Huang, you won't..."

"The barracks of the Shenwu Army in Yizhou can make up for the vacancy of the supervisor. Don't let him go to the battlefield, just follow the training, where there is no order to leave the city, how about it?"

King An was very hard-hearted, "That's how it is, the emperor relegated Shen Li to Guangzhou to relieve my hatred. Bai He went to the barracks, and not everyone can enter the barracks of the Shenwu Army. I think the emperor The arrangement is very appropriate."

Emperor Xuan shook his head, "Guangzhou, it can't be done, Guangzhou is a poisonous place, I don't want to."

King An couldn't, so he had to obey Emperor Xuan's arrangement.

Emperor Xuan drafted a decree, and said earnestly: "Actually, I want to persuade you. Young man, the more you don't want him to do something, the more he wants to do it. Maybe after this time, the relationship between the two of them will become stronger." What's better? We haven't seen each other for three years, and the time is not long..."

Wang An didn't take it seriously, "I think it's just a matter of cleaning up. After these three years of hard work, I'll know in the future how decent it is for two men to be together."

Shen Li was not surprised at all when he learned that he was promoted and demoted secretly to become the city lord of Youzhou Prefecture.It's just that it's hard for the family, and they have to follow him around.Fortunately, Emperor Xuan still valued him very much, and he was not relegated to the extreme south or the extreme north. His younger brothers and sisters were still young, so they didn't have to suffer with him, which relieved him a lot of psychological burden.

The prince was going to the military camp, but Shen Li felt relieved that he didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy.After all, with His Majesty's order, the prince cannot be in danger.Besides, Dazhao is still relatively prosperous now, and there are not many battles. Where does the crown prince go, at most, His Majesty made such a bad plan to separate him and the crown prince.

Before Wen Bohe left, he didn't care about the access control imposed on him by the palace. He knew that it would be difficult for them to see them in the future, so he ran to Shen's residence almost every day.Everyone saw it, and felt that Wen Bohe was too deceitful. He actually forced a good civil servant to Youzhou, and felt a little bit notorious for a while.

What made Shen Li even more dumbfounded was that since everyone knew the son's sexuality, some civil servants who were fairly good-looking wished to wear a mask when they went to court, for fear that the villain son would come to "rob them"...

There are also those who want to take shortcuts, and will write poems to the prince, euphemistically expressing their thoughts and feelings of "don't want to work hard anymore".Of course, these messy people annoyed Shi Zi so much that he simply moved into Shen's house, which showed that not everyone was qualified to be favored by him.

Apart from knocking King An down in anger, the effect was notable.

But right now, Shen Li really can't care about these things.The imperial court's control over Youzhou may not be that stable yet, but Youzhou's geographical location is very important.To the north of Youzhou is the East Turks, and conflicts often arise.The purpose of the prefect of Youzhou at the beginning of its establishment was to prevent the invasion of nomads. Of course, it was impossible to rely on civil officials to resist foreign enemies. Therefore, a separate military and political battalion was set up under the prefect of Youzhou.

Shen Li understood in his heart that a magistrate does not have soldiers in his hands, but the military and political battalion has soldiers, so only Shen Li can know who is the real controller of Youzhou when he goes there.

What is even more troublesome is that the ethnic groups in the Youzhou area are complex. In addition to the Han, there are three other ethnic groups mixed in.

The Khitan nationality is an ancient ethnic group in the north of Jokhang. There are two theories about the origin of the Khitan, one is that it originated from the Huns, and the other is that it originated from the Donghu.

The Xi family is a branch of Khitan, and later broke away from Khitan.The Khitan and Xi tribes also continued to have wars, which gradually stabilized under the continuous intervention of Emperor Xuan in recent years.

Most of them were set up in Youzhou and several prefecture cities to which Youzhou belonged.For a long period of time, there have been infighting and cooperation with each other.

Another family is the Mohe.

Mohe is the predecessor of the Jurchen tribe, and it had been thriving in the Northeast before the establishment of Dazhao.

In the early days of the founding of the Jokhang Dynasty, the Mohe tribe began to gradually move south to Youzhou, and Yimi County was the county seat established for the Mohe tribe.

The third ethnic group is the Uyghur. Its predecessor was the Uyghur. This ethnic group has always been good at doing business. In the previous dynasty, it helped Dazhao win the control of Youzhou.In recent years, he has also been doing business in Youzhou, which is quite honest.

Dazhao has his own way of managing Youzhou.That is, the imperial court appointed the chiefs of minority tribes as city and county magistrates.Although it is a city and county of Jokhang in name, it actually has a high degree of freedom, and most of the taxes are only half of that of Zhengzhou (the state officially managed by Jokhang).

Therefore, Shen Li, a fourth-rank magistrate, was nothing more than that.In fact, there are only five counties under management, and the other four counties belong to those ethnic minorities. If the taxes cannot be paid, Shen Li has to pay for it himself.

Shen Li: I suspect that the old emperor wanted me to bleed, but I have no proof.

But Shen Li is not afraid of trouble, Youzhou is a good place, and Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou, is itself the modern Beijing.Shen Li still felt very kind.

Shen Li hugged his younger siblings with pity, they were only so small, and they were going to follow his elder brother to a place with bad weather.The temperature in Youzhou is very low in winter and very high in summer.In Jicheng, the adults don't know if they will be unaccustomed to the environment, let alone these two children.

But this reminded Shen Li to pay attention to the unacceptable things.At the beginning when they went to Yanhui County, they forgot about it, and they vomited and had diarrhea when they arrived there. Shen Li was in good health and didn't feel anything, but Shen Laiqiu and Yu Shi were old and had to pay attention.

There was plenty of time for left and right transfers, so Shen Li asked someone to make a wooden barrel, the kind of wooden barrel with spiral patterns, and then made a matching lid, and put a rubber ring inside the lid, so that once the lid is closed, No water will leak out.

Unaccustomed to the soil and water, more because the drinking water is not suitable for the spleen and stomach.Or if the water quality is changed all of a sudden, the human body cannot accept it.Therefore, drinking on the road with water and cooking with local water can gradually adapt to the water and soil.

After all, ancient times are not as good as modern ones, and you can buy everything you need wherever you go.Therefore, Shen Li loaded more than a dozen vehicles before completely preparing some items.

Before Wen Bohe left, he stuffed Shen Li with a booklet and asked Shen Li to open it when he left.

Shen Li felt that it was almost time to open it, but who would have thought that this was not the "love letter" he thought, but a book made up of banknotes and a letter sandwiched between them.

When Shen Laiqiu saw it, hey, with so many banknotes, his eyes almost popped out.

"Tsk, this kid is interested in you." Shen Laiqiu had to admit that no one would be willing to give so many banknotes.

Yu said worriedly: "Here, I have given you so many bank notes, what will he do when he goes to Yizhou? Will he have no money to spend?"

Shen Li said embarrassingly: "Mother, don't worry, the clothes I gave him were also sewn with gold leaves." It was embarrassing to say this, but he did.Now he didn't have time to prepare any farewell gifts, and the only thing left was money, so he bought a lot of silver and exchanged it for gold, and then found someone to press it into gold leaves for easy carrying.

Moreover, there are some gold leaves with extremely sharp edges. If the prince is in danger, these gold leaves can even be used as weapons.

Wen Bohe didn't expect that Shen Li would go with him, he couldn't help laughing as he touched the golden leaves.

"My son, Yizhou is coming soon, do you have any orders?" Because when he was about to arrive in Yizhou, it meant that he had to enter the barracks and was not allowed to go out for nothing.So the accompanying people asked this question.

Wen Bohe said: "Take these gold leaves, and if you have any Yizhou specialties, send them to the prefect of Youzhou."
