Chapter Twelve

Li Yuanzi was a wise man. He glanced at the corner of his eyes and then pushed away the crowd, walked alone to the sad Peng Shigao, and greeted him humbly: "Peng Du, I am a general in the last few days. You will have to take care of this military affairs!"

Peng Shigao came from Chu State, how could he not know the weight of Li Yuan in the emperor's eyes now? He looked flattered: "Ah! Mr. Li Yu, don't be polite! On the contrary, I am from Chu, and you still need your attention."

Li Yuan shook his head and said sincerely: "Peng Du Envoy, Your Majesty cherishes you very much. So what about the Chu people? From now on, you will be the direct commander of the Tang Dynasty Palace and the commander of the first army! The last general will speak afterwards!"

Peng Shigao almost burst into tears: "Your Majesty treats me with kindness, and dare not die if you don't work! The Tang Dynasty is really full of talents, and Li Yuhou will definitely have a bright future in the future!"

When the time is right, Li Yuan then bowed and said, "Peng Du Envoy, the last general has filed a leave with His Majesty yesterday and returned to Chuzhou to pick up my mother. Before leaving, I want to find an errand for my two brothers. Look--"

Peng Shigao couldn't wait to take the conversation and asked, "But the two who came to Tanzhou with you?"

“That’s right!”

Peng Shigao waved his hand and said without hesitation: "I know this matter. I have received the order from the Privy Council this morning. You can arrange it yourself, brothers!"

Seeing Li Yuan showing a hesitant look, he kept staring at him. After all, Peng Shigao had served as a difficult person like Ma Xi'e, so he naturally understood: "Mr. Li Yu, if you leave urgently, you might as well say to me. Just think it was my intention. After noon, I will go to the Privy Council in person to do it for you!"

Since Peng Shigao took the initiative to come forward for him, the purpose was achieved. Li Yuan bowed with satisfaction and said, "Then I will use it if I have to do it!"

Then he whispered to Peng Shigao without any obscurity, and the general idea was to let Liu Jiangsheng be the commander of the right wing of the palace. As for Luo Erhu, he would temporarily serve as his personal captain and receive some salary.

This is equivalent to Li Yuan directly leaving half of the soldiers of the Dianzhi Army, but Peng Shigao didn't care at all. In his eyes, being close to Li Yuan, a smart and promising person, would definitely be beneficial to his future situation. He nodded directly to agree.

After another polite conspiracy, the two sat down and started talking together.

Peng Shigao said with concern: "Mr. Li Yu, I will go to Chuzhou for ten days to come and go?"

Li Yuan smiled softly: "It's my turn for ten days. I'll have to do it if I get an official job and I can't go back to my hometown to take a look?"

I saw Peng Shigao stroked his thick palms, looking very happy: "Brother, now you are the Du Yu Marquis, so you have to bring more people to show your power! In this way, you can pick up some favorable people to serve as personal soldiers in the army, and then bring a battalion of soldiers with you?"

This time it was Li Yuan's turn to be scared. Peng Shigao's show of kindness was too obvious. He quickly shook his head and said, "There is no need for a battalion of soldiers! Our palace squad is already few, so it's not good to abolish the public because of personal gain."

It is true that as a senior officer of the Imperial Army, it is natural to bring some personal soldiers to accompany him. However, to mobilize a battalion of 500 soldiers, it must be approved by the Privy Council, otherwise it will be a matter of principle and there is a suspicion of rebellion. Although Chen Jue was the Privy Councilor, Li Yuan did not expect to write a letter to waste his favor because of his private affairs.

After today's conversation, Peng Shigao seemed to have learned Li Yuan's style and waved his hand again: "Hey! This is a bad thing! You are your favorite general! Chuzhou is next to that Zhou State, so be careful. Please take me with you with peace of mind and transfer my army to let me run away for you!"

Since this was the case, Li Yuan was happy to accept it: "How can this be done? I have to worry about Peng Du! When I will return to Beijing at the end, I will invite you to have a good wine another day!"

Then Li Yuan went out and called Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu brothers, and roughly talked about their positions. Liu Jiangsheng understood that this military position was already high and he could not imagine it. He was grateful to Li Yuan from the bottom of his heart and said that he would not let Li Yuan down and obey Li Yuan's military orders at any time from then on.

Then, at the suggestion of Li Yuan, he entered the house excitedly and met Peng Shigao and the generals.

Although Luo Erhu was unable to take charge of the army, he obtained the title of personal soldiers captain and was able to guard the elder brother at all times. This black man was even more excited than Liu Jiangsheng. He immediately took up the airs of the personal soldiers captain of Du Yuhou and followed Li Yuan to the military camp. He spent some effort and carefully selected fifty powerful and powerful military men of Kong Wu, all of whom could be taken advantage of in the palace squad.

These people have long heard of Li Yuan’s name and admired him. At this time, they can become Lord Li Yuhou’s personal soldiers, so they will shout allegiance.

On Yufang Avenue, Li Yuan slowly rode his horse and looked at the firm faces that followed him closely, and he couldn't help but feel rippling. His first team was established.

When he returned to his own Dalianyuan, Li Yuan let his personal soldiers get familiar with the courtyard, and after a few words, he threw it to Luo Erhu. In less than a moment, the personal soldiers of this new nobleman Li Yuhou of Jinling began to patrol the mansion, and then the access control became even more tight.

Li Yuan leaned lazily in his pavilion, admiring the scattered flowers and plants in the garden, and couldn't help but sigh: "The yard has no layout, and someone needs to take care of it!"

A personal soldier trotted, then stood in front of Li Yuan, bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, someone outside the door asked to see you! It was from the Zhou Mansion."

Li Yuan had just taken off his breastplate and was about to take a break. He heard this and opened his eyes, with a suspicion on his face, Zhou Mansion? Have I ever made friends with this family? Then a carp beat him up, was it her?!!

Without hesitation, Li Yuan hurriedly said: "I'll go and see it myself!"

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, Li Yuan saw a girl dressed in beautiful clothes standing in front of him, followed by a group of men and women who looked like maids and servants. Although this girl looked very beautiful and refined, she was definitely not comparable to Zhou Ehuang's beauty.

In Li Yuan's hesitant gaze, the girl saluted slightly and said, "I have seen Lord Li!"

Li Yuan hurriedly bowed and asked, "I don't know who the girl is? How could he recognize me?"

I saw the girl with a hint of loss in her eyes and replied softly: "Sir, I came here with the lady yesterday..."

After thinking hard for a while, Li Yuan patted his forehead and recognized him: "You are that, Qiu'er?"

This autumnal was like the cloudy day turned to sunny, and the cute little tiger teeth immediately showed off, and the silver bell rang: "Sir, I have a good memory! My lady said that when Lord Li first arrived in Jinling, he just bought a house, and there was no maid or servant around him who could be called, it was inconvenient. The lady picked some cleverness in the mansion and asked me to bring it here..."

"I'm just aware of it! I'm worried, your lady sent me someone!" Li Yuan blurted out, and then realized that it seemed something was wrong, and then said gently: "So, I'll thank your lady for being kind! But I, Li Yuan, use people and don't like being unclear..."

Qiu'er laughed, her little hand flew over the peach blossom collar and said softly: "Ah, don't worry, sir! The people in my Zhou family have been trained, and the lady also told me before leaving. From now on, she will follow the rules in the adult family!"

Li Yuan thought for a while and there was really a shortage of people in the mansion at this time, and this was Zhou Ehuang's wishes, so how could he refuse? But he still pretended to be embarrassed and responded: "Okay, I can't let your lady down! I accepted it!"

Qiu'er was immediately overjoyed and turned around to greet the maids and servants. Thirty or forty people were in a mighty way. One by one, Luo Erhu was personally led into the mansion under the inspection of his personal soldiers.

Seeing the last servant entering the mansion, Li Yuan sighed slightly for some reason: "Oh!"

Qiu'er asked curiously: "Why did sir?"

"There are all maids and servants, but my mansion still lacks a housekeeper. Today I will rush to Chuzhou to pick me up. For at least ten days, there is no one in charge in this house to take care of me, so I am worried!"

Qiu'er blinked her long eyelashes, and didn't know where she thought of her, and replied with a smile: "Sir, I'm a celebrity from Jinling Mansion, and I'm grateful to His Majesty. I'm afraid that many ladies from families want to enter the adult's door!"

Li Yuan stared at it and suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "You can talk! You have a way to deal with these servants. Otherwise, you go back and talk to your lady and let her give up her love. Come and take care of the housekeeper for me?"

Seeing Li Yuan's smile as if he was narrowed into a scimitar, Qiu'er quickly lowered her head, her cheeks were red and said timidly: "Sir, don't joke with me! I'll say goodbye first!"

Looking at the little girl leaving quickly without looking back, Li Yuan was confused and muttered blankly, "I'm not kidding, there is really a lack of housekeeper in this mansion...
