After Qinglian quickly left the study, Liu Mingzhi casually took off his tobacco bag from his waist and filled it with shredded tobacco skillfully.
After lighting a pot of tobacco with a fire stick, Young Master Liu slowly walked to the window sill and stopped.
After taking a puff of the cigarette, Liu Mingzhi looked up at the bright moon shining brightly in the night sky and sighed sadly.
Lian'er's mother is ill, and it's even possible...
As a son-in-law, how could he not want to leave immediately for the Miao border with Lian'er, his sisters, and their three children?
Unfortunately, it was an unlucky time for Lian'er's mother to be ill.
It just happened to be stuck at the juncture where we had just finalized the reward and equipment for the Japanese envoy.
At this juncture, I really didn't have time to leave the capital immediately and accompany Lian'er to the Miao border.
You know, when the world is peaceful, it is not an easy task to mobilize so many troops at once.
If I suddenly leave the capital at this time, many things in the future will not be able to continue to progress.
Although the officials in the cabinet are all high-ranking and important officials in the court, they are not concerned with matters such as military preparation.
Without their own permission, they would not have the guts to make their own decisions.
For civil and military officials, military preparation is never a small matter.
Nowadays, among the powerful cabinet elders and senators in the court, none of them are old foxes who have become mature with age.
They knew very well that at any time, as ministers, they could not make their own decisions regarding military preparations without the permission of the emperor.
This was a taboo in the heart of the emperor.
Especially when the number of troops is large, you cannot make your own decisions.
First, as a colleague, I worked with the old foxes in the imperial court for many years, and then as the king of a country, I spent several years with those old foxes.
Liu Mingzhi knows the character of these old foxes very well.
It is precisely because of this that he is unable to leave the capital now.
Of course, Liu Mingzhi also knew it in his heart.
Even if he made it clear to his aunt and nephew, Hoshino and Sakai Ga, that he had important matters at hand, and the reward of troops would need to be postponed for a while.
Neither their aunt nor nephew would have any objections.
Hoshino may feel resentful, but he will not be dissatisfied with his actions.
As for Sakai Ga, he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction at all.
I still have some understanding of this guy's temperament as an alcoholic.
This guy knows how to be patient, he knows what it means to be inferior to others, and he also understands what it means to be strong but not to overwhelm local snakes.
What's more, their Japanese mission is not a strong dragon!
Under this situation, even if he told Sakai Ga explicitly that the reward of troops and equipment would need to be delayed for a while, this guy would still have to happily apologize to himself.
Don't dare to show any bad feelings towards yourself.
As for what he thinks in his heart, he doesn't care at all.
Never cared about it either.
Unfortunately.
You have no jokes, you are a king and you cannot change your orders overnight, and other similar words, but they are an invisible shackles.
This kind of shackles has been imprisoned on myself from the moment I sat on that chair.
As the king of a country and the emperor of the dynasty, he can naturally completely ignore this so-called shackles.
However, once the hole is opened, many things will become out of control in the future.
You don't have to care, you can still control all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
It can also hold down the dragon's mountains and rivers for hundreds of thousands of miles.
It can even hold the whole world in check.
But what about my children?
As a father, I have to set an example for them.
This is why the longer Liu Mingzhi sits in this position, the more he is able to understand his father Li Zheng.
Sometimes, even as a king of a country who holds the power of life and death in the entire world.
I can’t help myself!
No wonder my father, when he was still alive, would say how much he wished he could be a foolish king who only knew how to live in a drunken life and dream of death.
Today, I also have this thought.
Be a wise king.
I am really too tired.
For a moment, Liu Mingzhi suddenly missed the days when he was a minister.
I also miss the days when I was the one-word king.
At that time, I was so free and unrestrained, so comfortable!
well.
I have indeed gained a lot.
However, I also lost a lot.
When Liu Mingzhi instinctively put the cigarette holder into his mouth, he realized that the tobacco in the pot had burned out at some point.
Turned into a ball of embers.
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over the copper basin next to him to knock out the ashes from the smoke pot.
Then, he gently rolled up the tobacco bag in his hand and walked straight out of the study.
When Liu Mingzhi just walked into the main hall, Qi Ya, who had been sitting on a chair in the hall for some time, hurriedly stood up and bowed to Young Master Liu.
"I have met my husband."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, husband."
Liu Mingzhi glanced around the hall, and his eyes fell on the bundle on the table next to him.
"Sister Ya, have you packed up your gifts?"
"Yes, I have packed up. We are just waiting for Yun'er, Sister Lian'er and the others to come and join us."
Liu Mingzhi nodded gently to Qi Ya and walked towards the table with the bundle.
“Sister Ya, have you brought everything you need to bring?
You must know that the capital is not close to Shu, so don’t forget to bring anything with you.”
"Husband, don't worry, I have brought everything I need to bring.
I am an old man who has been walking around for many years, so I am not so careless."
Liu Mingzhi retracted his hands that were reaching for the baggage, turned around and sat on the chair next to him.
"Well, since you said so, Sister Ya, I won't check you again."
Qi Ya walked up to Liu Mingzhi step by step, poured a cup of herbal tea from a pot and put it on the table next to him.
"Husband, where is your luggage? You don't plan to just ride all the way to Miao territory without taking anything with you."
Liu Mingzhi saw the somewhat puzzled look on Qi Ya's pretty face, and smiled bitterly with a complicated expression.
"Sister Ya, I can't go to Miao territory with Lian'er for the time being."
"What? Husband, aren't you going to the Miao border with my sisters?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beautiful lady's astonished pretty face and sighed with a complicated expression.
"Sister Ya, the situation is like this."
