Raising children is actually a boring and interesting thing.
As time goes by, the child becomes noisy and the person is tortured to the point of becoming mentally and physically exhausted. But if the child is not seen for a long time, it is a different matter.
Shao Xun held his son, one big and one small, and played with him for a long time. After his son fell asleep, he handed him into the hands of his wet nurse.
After breakfast, he and Concubine Pei went to the general's shogunate.
When arriving at the shogunate, Shao Xun quickly dismounted, then opened the carriage curtain and asked Concubine Pei to get off.
Concubine Pei got out of the car with the help of her maid. Her face was calm and indifferent, her temperament was solemn and majestic - she looked like a "strong woman" at first glance.
The group then entered the shogunate compound.
Shao Xun changed out of his blue robe and put on a bright red military uniform, half a step behind Concubine Pei.
As he walked, he glanced around, like the loyal family general ten years ago.
Concubine Pei obviously also thought of this.
As he walked, his steps became slightly brisker, a smile appeared on his lips, and his whole aura became much more relaxed.
The most important thing is that she feels extremely at ease now, as if she has a backbone she can rely on, and she will be more comfortable handling government affairs and meeting with her colleagues.
Men are the backbone of the family.
When they arrived at the last courtyard, Supervisor Mi walked forward and saluted.
He controls the only armed force in Kao City: the guard has slowly expanded to more than 3,500 people.
Except for the Yanzhou gentry tribe and refugee recruits, the rest are new recruits who tried their best to recruit from Xuzhou and even the East China Sea.
The guard originally had 500 cavalry, most of whom came from the Yanzhou gentry. It was decided a few days ago that they would be assigned to the Yi Congjun.
Among the remaining 3,000 people, there are 500 Yanzhou gentry tribes, 1,000 strong refugees, and more than half of the Donghai soldiers. They are led by Mi Zhi, who was born in the Mi family of Donghai, and can be regarded as the closest force to the King of Donghai and the Dowager.
However, as the "big star" of the East China Sea, Shao Xun seems to be able to firmly control this army without much effort - people in Luoyang think that Shao Xun is from Luoyang, and people in the East China Sea think that Shao Xun is from the East China Sea.
.
Shao Xun saluted Mi Zhi in return, and then escorted Concubine Pei to his office.
Cai Cheng and Mi Zhi agreed on the defense, and then left the shogunate with their people.
When the subordinates and assistants who were still staying in the shogunate saw it, they felt secretly in their hearts. At the same time, they sighed: The King of the East China Sea can't even control the guards, so why bother?
After Concubine Pei sat down, she found that this room was very different from before.
Bow tips and sabers hang on the wall.
There is a low table in the corner with a tea tripod and other utensils on it. Judging from the inscription, it is the collection of Princess Lingshou.
The desk was replaced by a high-top table, and a bed was placed behind the table.
There are bamboo slips, wooden slips and paper official letters on the corner of the table - in the past ten years, there have been fewer and fewer slips, and more and more paper has been used.
She walked back to the back half of the room.
There is a bead curtain hanging here. Behind the curtain are tables and beds.
When you are tired, you can have a drink here and then lie down and rest for a while.
Overall, the interior of the house is very simple, with nothing unnecessary.
This man has not adapted to the life of wealth yet.
No, it should be said that he lives a rich life as well as a simple life, as if he doesn't care much about these.
Sitting quietly behind the desk, Concubine Pei picked up an official letter and read it.
"...(Deng) You built a house with poor systems and extravagant practices, which hurt my frugality..."
Concubine Pei chuckled.
It had only been a day, and someone reported to You Sima Deng You overnight.
As the second-ranking figure in the shogunate, Shao Xun, in his capacity as military chief, wrote an annotation below: "You Sima's assistant has meritorious service, and people appreciate it. It is appropriate to give a lighter punishment to warn all officials."
After Concubine Pei read it, she wrote the words "can be exempted from official position" below, and then looked up.
Bian Dun was not around during the military consultation ceremony at Luqiuchong, so she was too lazy to call the servants over. Instead, she asked her maid to open the wooden box she carried with her, took out the seal of the general who suppressed the army, dipped it in ink mud, and covered it directly.
In this way, Deng You's fate is determined.
Removing an official is not a real removal from an official, but an operation to allow the court to give him a position in Guanzhong. As for whether Deng You goes or not, it is his business and has nothing to do with the shogunate.
However, there was really nothing wrong with Deng Sima. In the end, he could only be convicted of "extravagant", which was a bit outrageous.
"...Cao Yi was so cruel and cunning that the people were displaced. Jibei's harvest had failed last year, and there were only a few silkworm weavers. (Zhao) Mu did nothing. He did not encourage sericulture, and the rice relief was late, and it was difficult to save everything..."
This is a criticism of Zhao Mu, the chief minister of the right.
Similarly, Zhao Mu has no personal moral problems, but his abilities are flawed.
The shogunate did not have much money to provide relief to the Jibei Kingdom that was captured by Cao Yi, but it still had to make a gesture to avoid local disunity. He was not clear-headed, and after being repeatedly admonished, he sent a batch of relief rice and transported it down the Yellow River.
, and at the same time asked the nobles around Jibei to raise grains and beans to send to Jibei.
But he left too late and some people starved to death.
Shao Xun's annotation below is not so polite: "Doing nothing is almost an evil sycophant, and the crime cannot escape the constitution."
Concubine Pei originally only planned to be dismissed from the official position. After seeing the man's annotation, she directly wrote: "Deprived of all the duties and responsibilities, he was appointed as the governor of the Tang Dynasty to assassinate the traitor, and he was engaged in the investigation and investigation of Zhonglang."
"...Every time during the twelfth lunar month, counties and counties capture foxes and rabbits as tribute. This goes against nature and is laborious..."
This annotation is: "After the war, it is appropriate to expand material resources. There is no need to trouble our people again."
Concubine Pei first read the man's annotation, and then wrote the word "should stop".
"...The Xiongnu were not destroyed, and the masters and disciples were exposed. And the Zhengdan banquet cost a lot of money..."
Concubine Pei processed more than a dozen official letters in a row at an extremely fast speed.
I glanced at the content of the text without reading it in detail. I only paid attention to the annotations of Shao Xun, the commander of the army at the bottom. Then, according to his wishes, he issued an order in the name of Sima Pi, the general of the army, and sealed it in one go. The process was completed in an instant.
Shao Xun walked in from the outside, first put the food box on the table, then hugged Concubine Pei from behind, gave her a gentle peck on the face, and said, "I baked Hu biscuits, let's eat some together."
"Bake it by yourself?"
"Of course." Shao Xun said, "Look at me."
Concubine Pei turned her head and glanced, then smiled.
There were traces of smoke and fire on his face, and there was ash on his hands.
Thinking of this, she slapped Shao Xun's hand and stretched around, smearing the apples. Originally, she had planned to feed the child herself.
The two laughed and joked for a while, then sat opposite each other behind the bead curtain and ate cakes.
"When do you plan to return to Xuchang?" Concubine Pei asked softly.
"I originally planned to go back in these two days, but now I'm a little hesitant." Shao Xun said, "I didn't want to get up this morning. I just wanted to stay a few more days."
Concubine Pei chuckled lightly and said nothing.
She could tell that the man's words contained sixty-seven percent of the truth.
When he first came to Kaocheng, he was really tired. After going to bed, he fell into a deep sleep, as if he had loosened the tight strings and gained unimaginable peace.
After a few days like this, one's energy and spirit are visibly improved.
To be honest, Concubine Pei was still very moved.
He trusted her without any defense.
She is also greedily obsessed with this kind of life.
Every night, she goes to bed first and warms the bed. After the man has finished his official duties, he comes back to talk about some things, and she will give him some advice; or she will say some private words of love, and finally they will look at each other, smile, and sleep in each other's arms.
After getting up in the morning, we have a meal together and hold the baby and play with it for a while.
Then he practiced martial arts in the courtyard, and she sewed clothes by herself in front of the window, always looking at the man's strong and muscular body.
Then, he escorted her to the shogunate to review official documents.
With a man by your side, everything feels at ease, there is no need to scheming or thinking too much.
Whatever he said, it was done.
Concubine Pei is a little scared now. She wants to live such a warm life with a man more and more. What should she do?
This kind of thought is almost difficult to suppress, or the more you suppress it, the more you want it.
Yu Wenjun, why?
"After the spring planting, I will leave Xuchang temporarily." Shao Xun said.
Concubine Pei sighed and felt much better.
Shao Xun withdrew his gaze from Concubine Pei and secretly sighed that time management had been used to the extreme.
Don't invest emotions, just vent, and don't need to do any time management.
It would be troublesome if he was emotionally invested, and he felt a little exhausted both mentally and physically.
"Will you go on an expedition next year?" Concubine Pei asked.
"I can't tell, I don't want to fight, but the Huns may not." Shao Xun said: "Besides, Hebei is always a hidden danger. The roving horses are raging, and not only are the autumn harvests affected in Yanzhou counties, they can't even grow winter wheat.
What a shame. If I have a chance, I still want to get Shi Le."
"What are you going to do?"
"There is no rush." ​​Shao Xun did not answer directly, but said: "First stabilize the three cities of Heyang. If the Silver Spear Army does not withdraw, it will not be able to defeat Shi Le. He has too many cavalry."
"Will there be any changes in the south?"
"King Langya is still working hard to rectify the five states, and it is difficult to have the energy to visit the north. As long as I don't move to Xuzhou, there should be no conflict." Shao Xun said.
Xuzhou is the gateway to the political power in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter who is based in the east of the Yangtze River, they will try their best to control it, at least to hold the Huai River.
This is the bottom line for Sima Rui and the Jiangdong nobles. Once it is destroyed, it is hard to say what will happen.
"The land of the Fourth War has suffered a lot for you." Concubine Pei sighed.
"Sometimes I do feel very bitter and irritable." Shao Xun said, "But as soon as I see you, I feel that it is no longer bitter. I will work hard no matter what, so that you can live a rich and worry-free life."
Concubine Pei looked at him and said after a long time: "Go back early."
"Okay, I'll come see you two after the new year." Shao Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
On December 26, just a few days before the New Year, Shao Xun finally returned to Xuchang after wandering for two months.
Chapter completed!
