Zhang Dian bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Heishui Mohe has not yet been exposed to his humble position."
Li Ye stood up and walked to the sand table. Zhang Dian quickly followed. Li Ye pointed at Liaodong with a wooden pole and said: "Since the Sui Dynasty, Liaodong has been a serious problem in the Central Plains. Before that, it was Goguryeo, which caused the Sui Dynasty's national power to decline. Finally,
perish.
Then the Khitan rose up again and kept eyeing Youzhou, including Anlu Mountain. Shi Siming rebelled, and most of their subordinates were Donghu people.
If the Khitans are not destroyed this time, once there is civil strife in the Central Plains, the Khitans will definitely take the opportunity to go south, seize Youzhou, and invade the Central Plains, so this time we launch the Liaodong Campaign to completely eliminate the Donghu people, and now we have completed 60% of it."
Zhang Dian reacted very quickly, "Your Highness, the other 40% refers to Shi Wei and Heishui Mohe?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "Actually, there is also Silla, but don't think about Silla. I made you the governor of western Liaoning just to let you deal with Shiwei and Heishui Mohe!"
Zhang Dian immediately bowed and said: "After spring starts tomorrow, I will lead the army into action!"
Li Ye smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will give you five years, that is, your term of office, to wipe out Shiwei and Heishui Mohe. Or should our court adhere to the sixteen-character principle, 'Eradicate the nobility and transform the Han Dynasty into a peaceful country'?"
Shu, the people of Qi were organized into households, divided and ruled.'
"Weichen remembers it!"
Li Ye added: "After eradicating Shiwei and Heishui Mohe, move all their people to the farming areas of Liaodong, teach them how to farm, and let their children read and learn in Chinese. After twenty years, they will basically be the same as Han people."
But this is not your business. Your task is to lead the army to continue to encircle the land to the north, all the way to the entire West Sea, bring the West Sea into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, build military cities in the West Sea, and garrison troops there. I know that
The border conditions are very difficult and harsh, so I have specially approved it. If the garrison really needs it, the garrison can plunder the surrounding tribes, steal food and women, and I will not pursue it. The premise is that there is a real need and it is not an indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
Zhang Dian quickly bowed and said: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best!"
Li Ye returned to the harem. He first went to Penglai Palace to visit his pregnant wife Dugu Xinyue. When he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw his daughter Xingsha walking cautiously forward with a bowl of medicine.
Li Ye felt warm in his heart. His daughter actually knew how to bring medicine to her mother. He walked slowly behind his daughter.
of?"
Li Ye put his arms around his precious daughter's shoulders and asked with a soft smile: "Dad just came back, why does your mother need to take medicine?"
"Mom is feeling a little unwell. Doctor Lin said that we need to rest for a long time to protect the fetus and prescribed some medicine. I just learned how to decoct medicine!"
"How about studying at school?"
Li Ye's eldest daughter Xingsha is already fifteen years old. Although people in the Tang Dynasty generally married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, Li Ye didn't want his daughter to marry too early. The rule he set was that women should be eighteen years old and men should be twenty years old.
Can get married.
Under his advocacy, early marriages that were common in the Tang Dynasty were no longer common. Most of the daughters of ordinary families got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, while the daughters of eunuchs and aristocratic families married after the age of eighteen. Following the emperor's regulations, they also wanted their daughters to marry.
It will be good for your body and mind to marry more maturely.
Interestingly, most daughters from poor families get married around the age of eighteen. This is mainly due to profit considerations. After the court banned the employment of child labor under the age of twelve, daughters from poor families will work as maids in wealthy households around the age of twelve, usually for three years.
If you sign a contract once, you will basically sign it twice for six years, and you will get married when you return home at the age of 18.
Xingsha is currently studying at Hongwenguan Girls' School. There are more than a hundred young ladies of about the same age studying together. They are all daughters or granddaughters of high-ranking officials above the third rank. They go to school at dawn every morning and come home after school in the afternoon.
Living on campus is also to give them time to reunite with their families.
Li Ye's other two daughters, Yaoguang and Qiuhe, also studied at Hongwenguan Girls' School.
Xingsha smiled and said: "I am very happy to study in school. I can read a lot of books and learn to write poems and poems."
"What do you like best?"
"I like painting the most. We will take a carriage to the countryside to paint in a few days."
"How many people are going together?"
"Everyone is going together!"
"More than a hundred people?"
Xingsha nodded, and Li Ye laughed. This formation was a bit big, so he had to tell the inner guards to pay attention to safety.
"Dad, we all want to visit Jiangnan, but we don't have the chance!" Xingsha pouted and said coquettishly.
Li Ye thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's wait until spring tomorrow! Dad will make arrangements for you. You and eight female professors will board a thirty thousand stone ship, take classes on the ship, travel to the south of the Yangtze River together, and have fun for two or three months before coming back.
"
Xingsha's heart was so happy that she was about to explode. If it weren't for the bowl of medicine in her hand, she would have been so excited that she would have clapped her hands.
"Thank you, dad. You must keep your word!"
Li Ye smiled slightly, "Dad is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When does the emperor's words always mean what he says? Maybe dad will make arrangements for you tomorrow!"
"I will definitely buy good things in Jiangnan to honor my father!"
"Haha! As long as you have this intention, daddy is not short of anything!"
As the father and daughter talked, they entered the bedroom. Several palace maids came up quickly to take the medicine bowl, but Xingsha refused and insisted on giving it to her mother with her own hands.
Dugu Xinyue was half lying on the bed, and Dr. Lin was checking her pulse. Dr. Lin's name was Lin Ruoyue. She was a famous doctor in Xiangyang. She had been with them since Xiangyang. She knew the physique of everyone in the family very well. No one could do without her.
The children all call her Aunt Lin.
Doctor Lin took the medicine bowl, looked at it, and said with a smile: "The frying is good, you can master the heat the first time, you are really a smart princess!"
Xingsha was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, daddy said that next spring we will arrange for all our school to travel to the south of the Yangtze River."
Dugu Xinyue looked at her husband and said with a smile, "Why aren't you worried about your daughter's safety?"
Li Ye sat down and said with a slight smile: "Almost all of them are on the boat. Even if they get off the boat, they will be closely protected by internal guards and female guards. Besides, the world is peaceful now and our enemy troops have almost been wiped out, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"
Dugu Xinyue nodded, "Okay, let them go out and see it, it will be good for them."
At this time, Dr. Li asked Dugu Xinyue to drink the medicine, and Li Ye asked: "Doctor Lin, how is the queen's condition?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Queen is fine. She just has a slight movement of fetal gas and will be fine after a few days of rest."
"That's good!"
Li Ye smiled again and said: "The imperial court will donate some precious medicinal materials to me later. I think there are also more than a dozen thousand-year-old ginseng. Let's see if I can give the queen a supplement?"
Dugu Xinyue is also a martial arts practitioner. She has prepared medicine with her master Liefeng, so she still has the most basic common sense.
"Husband, Thousand-year-old ginseng is not for me to eat. I'd better keep this treasure for medicine!"
Among the spoils of war from the Bohai Kingdom this time were fifteen thousand-year-old ginseng. Except for the emperor, no one was qualified to take this priceless treasure. Even if they could possess it, it must be a reward from the emperor.
Therefore, all fifteen thousand-year-old ginseng must be dedicated to the emperor.
Lin Royal Physician smiled and said: "After your mother gives birth, you can use one pill to replenish your body."
"All right!"
Dugu Xinyue held her husband's hand and asked, "Has your husband eaten?"
Li Ye nodded, "I gave Guo Ziyi a chance to eat today!"
"No wonder your husband smells of alcohol. It's fine if I have Xingsha with me. Husband, go to the study and rest!"
Li Ye nodded, got up and went to the inner study.
The light in the study was soft, and Qing Yu was putting down a cup of hot tea for him. He hugged Qing Yu from behind. Qing Yu was startled, but when she turned around and saw her husband, she fell softly into his arms.
"I thought it was too Wei, she always wanted to attack me from behind."
Qingyu was named Concubine De, also known as Concubine Liu De outside. She was the Empress Dowager’s favorite daughter-in-law. She was kind-hearted, honest, and reassuring in her work. Therefore, Dugu Xinyue asked her to clean the inner study for her after she became pregnant.
It's not too bad to give this beautiful job to my sister.
Since that night, when Li Ye took Yang Yuhuan to the rooftop to spend the night, Yang Yuhuan had been feeling a little sick. Due to the cold, he had been taking medicine and resting. The inner study was cleaned by Qing Yu almost every day.
Li Ye kissed her snow-white neck and said with a smile: "Get ready tonight, and you will give me a son!"
Qingyu nodded shyly, "Then I'll go back first!"
Li Ye drank wine tonight and was a little angry at this time, but he also knew that Qingyu, like his wife Xinyue, was conservative and not willing to accompany him to have fun in the study. Even if it could not hinder his request, he was unwilling in his heart.
Li Ye didn't want to force her.
However, Taiwei was very open-minded, which Li Ye liked very much. He was asking Chunyu to call Taiwei over when he suddenly noticed a woman's figure flashing across the corner of the door. His heart moved and he smiled and said: "Go back! I
Might come later."
Qingyu glanced at her husband expectantly and then left.
Li Ye walked to the door and said with a smile: "Whoever is hiding outside, come here!"
He saw a fragrant woman appear in front of him, it turned out to be the former Queen Mother Zhang Qian. It was cold at night, so she wore a thick cotton robe that covered her feet.
She threw herself into Li Ye's arms like a raging fire and whispered in his ear: "I've been waiting for you to come every day, but you refuse to come. It's not for others to come looking for you!"
Zhang Qian arrived just in time. Li Ye hugged her and said with a smile, "Don't you just like this feeling of having an affair?"
Zhang Qian whispered and smiled charmingly in his ear: "Don't you always like the big white sheep? I brought it to you specially!"
Li Ye pretended to look around and said with a smile: "Where is the big white sheep?"
Zhang Qian licked her lips seductively, gently opened her belt, and a mature and plump white sheep suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. This woman is amazing!
Li Ye suddenly ignited a raging fire in his heart, closed the door, and directly led the big white sheep who broke into his study into the side room.
