? Knowing what Taizong Li Shimin was thinking, Li Ke thought about it for a long time and came up with a countermeasure. ""
The first thing he did was to rectify the Governor's Mansion of Beiya. However, his rectification was not to consolidate the power of the Twelve Guards into one body as Li Shimin thought, but to transform Beiya into a staff officer similar to that of later generations. Headquarters. Li Xianzhong and the generals of the various guards were appointed as staff officers in Bei Ya, and a group of Army Academy students who graduated from the staff department were mobilized through the Royal Army Academy to take charge of staff duties, forming a large-scale military consultation system in Bei Ya. . The second thing is to let Du Junchuo serve as the deputy governor of the Beiya Governor's Mansion and be fully responsible for the daily military affairs of Beiya. Only Li Ke will be dispatched to solve extremely important matters.
Du Junchuo was already very satisfied with being the general of the Wei army. He did not expect to be recommended by Li Ke to become the deputy governor of Beiya. He was extremely grateful to Li Ke. As long as there was no big deal, he would never bother Li Ke.
Therefore, Li Ke lived a very leisurely life.
By the time Li Ke finished reorganizing Beiya, it was already the beginning of spring of the second year. Seeing the spring outside the city, Li Ke handed over the affairs to the deputy governor Du Junchuo, and he took his wife and others out of the city for an outing, and started his magical journey. The life of a married couple.
On this day, Li Ke's cavalry slowly left the city and set up camp in the Xishan Mountain outside Chang'an City.
Because, being accustomed to military life, Li Ke likes to stay in the camp.
Princess Ashinayun was born into a Turkic nomadic tribe, so she was naturally used to living in military tents. The Tubo princess was also used to such a life. The eldest grandson Binning used to be a member of the Secret Guard of the Tang Dynasty. She was used to hardship, so she was naturally used to camping in the wild. Only Wu Meiniang is not used to it, but she loves her brother, His Highness, so as long as she is with her brother, she can endure the hardship.
Therefore, Li Ke¡¯s family¡¯s spring outing was quite enjoyable.
In addition to Li Ke's family, the retinue for this trip is still Wang Zhongchang and 300 strong men from the 800 Eagle Guards in Chang'an City.
Because Li Ke lives in Chang'an, his number of guards can only be determined to be eight hundred.
Therefore, Li Ke sent the remaining guards to Taiyuan and became the personal guards of Chen Qi's governor's mansion, allowing Chen Qi to train this elite army in disguise.
"Your Highness, when will we return to Chang'an?" It was Ashina Yun who spoke. She was afraid that she and others would delay Li Ke's military affairs.
"Sister, Your Highness's brother will not return to Chang'an. He may go back to Jiangnan!" Wu Meiniang said with a faint smile. She had a very sensitive political sense and knew very well that Li Ke's current situation was not suitable for him to stay in the capital, so she said with such certainty.
"I also think that Your Highness should go to Jiangnan to see it!" Changsun Binning interjected. As one of the leaders of the secret guards of the Tang Dynasty, he also vaguely felt the uneasiness reflected in the calmness of Chang'an City.
Only the Tubo princess Sang Yang did not speak. Her attitude has been like this since Li Ke returned to Beijing.
In fact, if she hadn¡¯t given birth to a prince for Li Ke, Li Ke would never have ignored her due to his nature.
"Well - you are right. When I go to Yangzhou in March, I really want to go to the south of the Yangtze River!" Li Ke said with a faint smile, "In a few days, I will write a letter to my father and resign from Beiya. We will go to Yangzhou immediately for the post of Governor."
"Then, Your Highness, brother, which way should we take?" Wu Meiniang asked.
"Of course it's a waterway!" Li Ke smiled softly.
"Waterway?" Changsun Binning asked, a little unbelievable. She knew very well that there was no other waterway from Chang'an to Jiangnan except the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but that was the road used by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty during his southern tour. Now Li Ke wants to take this route. Road, will the meaning in it make people make a fuss about it?
Seeing Zhang Sun Bingning's solemn expression, Li Ke smiled and said, "Let's go to Beiwang Yingzhou first to see Liu Rengui's navy, and then take the Tang Dynasty navy warship to Yangzhou."
"Oh - OK, OK!" Wu Meiniang said happily.
And Changsun Binning¡¯s forehead also relaxed a lot.
In fact, most of Li Ke¡¯s wives, Changsun Binning and Wu Meiniang have very sensitive political senses, but they all know Li Ke¡¯s inner standard, that is, women cannot participate in politics, so they are unwilling to touch this aspect.
" However, as long as it concerns Li Ke, even if they don't touch or tell Li Ke in detail, they will analyze the pros and cons in their hearts and find opportunities to remind Li Ke occasionally.
Li Ke also knew what the two of them were thinking, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to hear.
Li Ke accompanied his daughters on a spring outing in Xishan for eight days, and then he began to write to Li Shimin to resign as governor of Beiya.
The next day, he planned to return to Chang'an and start preparations for the southward journey.
In the evening, when the girls were tired from playing, they rested in the big tent.
Li Ke?The sunset at Xishan was beautiful, so I went out for a horseback riding walk.
Unknowingly, we reached the edge of the Wei River.
The Weishui River carries too many memories of Li Ke. It was on the Weishui River that he and Changsun Binning met and fell in love.
There is another person who also left an indelible memory with him by the Wei River.
Thinking of this person, Li Ke felt a pain in his heart.
Because he failed her and failed to protect her.
As a man, this will be a shame for him.
He still remembered that the woman in his heart painted a picture and wrote it with beautiful calligraphy.
Xiuwai Huizhong, gentle and generous.
However, what now?
Where is she?
I returned to Chang'an by myself, but I haven't heard from him yet.
Li Ke began to feel at a loss. He stared at the western sky and began to be in a daze.
"For what?"
Suddenly, Li Ke heard the roar of the Eagle Guard.
He looked at the sound and his body was shaken. He couldn't believe it.
She, why is she here?
Li Ke didn¡¯t say anything, and Wang Zhongchang understood the situation and left.
After a moment, Hou Ruoyi appeared in front of Li Ke wearing a light green dress.
"I went on an outing today. I didn't expect to meet you here!" Hou Ruoyi said lightly, her expression was very natural and calm.
"Well, I - I didn't expect it either!" Li Ke said, but his tone was a bit unnatural.
"Did I bother you?" Hou Ruoyi asked.
"No, I am alone!" Li Ke did not dare to look into Hou Ruoyi's clear watery eyes.
"Li Ke¡ª¡ª" Hou Ruoyi unexpectedly called Li Ke's name.
¡°Well¡ª¡ª¡± Li Ke responded.
"Can you still write a poem for me?" Hou Ruoyi asked.
"Okay-" Li Ke said apologetically.
Immediately, he asked Zhongzhang Wang to prepare paper and ink, and he and Hou Ruoyi came to the pavilion beside the Weishui Bridge.
"What do you want to write?" Li Ke asked as he picked up his pen.
"See for yourself!" Hou Ruoyi handed a brocade handkerchief to Li Ke.
"Bang¡ª¡ª" The pen in Li Ke's hand fell to the ground. He looked at the brocade handkerchief in his hand and was speechless, but his eyes were filled with tears.
"Longevity":
Towards the evening, the pavilion faces the clear water, and the apricot blossoms are filled with the faint fragrance in the wind.
Yixi Mingyue was quiet at the beginning, and the monarch accompanied the Qing Xiao to make the piano.
The handwriting on the brocade handkerchief is clearly visible, which is Hou Ruoyijuanxiu's Wang style calligraphy. This is the result of her diligent study and practice after meeting Li Ke. Because Li Ke likes Wang's calligraphy and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
"Your Highness¡ª¡ª"
The commander-in-chief Wang shouted at the right time, and Li Ke came back to his senses and said to Hou Ruoyi, "I'm sorry, I have to salute you!"
¡°You didn¡¯t¡ª¡± Hou Ruoyi said resentfully, ¡°This is the real you, this is the real you!¡±
Li Ke didn't say anything. He took the pen handed to him by Wang Zhongchang, wrote the poem in a hurry, dried the ink, and handed the paper to Hou Ruoyi.
"How are you doing?" After a while, Li Ke asked.
"I only know that your life is not good!" Hou Ruoyi said lightly, "Although you have achieved such achievements and status today, I know that your life is not good! You are very tired, your heart is very tired, You have been fighting against fate!"
""
Li Ke did not speak and remained silent, but for Hou Ruoyi, silence was acquiescence.
"In the Turkic War, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides died. In the Tuyuhun War and the Tubo War, nearly a million people died. Is this the result you want?" Hou Ruoyi said coldly, "You Are you still the same Li Ke who was enjoying the lanterns during the Lantern Festival and reading "The Analects of Confucius"? Aren't you - "
Li Ke remained silent, silently staring at the woman in front of him who he liked but couldn't get.
"I'm afraid the books you read most now are Sun Tzu's Art of War and Shangshu!" Hou Ruoyi sneered and continued, "Your Highness, why do you bother? You are too tired, you are really too tired, Ruoyi understands your heart. You carry hundreds of thousands of innocent souls who died in the Tang Dynasty on your shoulders. You carry on your shoulders the lives, glory and wealth of the brothers who followed you through life and death. In your heart, you hold that your wife, children, and children are safe and healthy. You You are concerned about the future of tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. You are living with such a responsibility. When will you let it go?"
"So, Ruoyi understands you, Ruoyi understands your difficulties, RuoyiI don¡¯t want to embarrass you, only Ruoyi doesn¡¯t want anything, but Ruoyi just wants you to live a good life, you know, Ruoyi just wants you to live a good life, but have you done it? " Hou Ruoyi started to cry loudly as she spoke.
Li Ke wanted to step forward and hug her, but with this thought in his heart, his feet still didn't move and stayed firmly planted in place.
"Your Highness, take care! Ruoyi has lost his composure!" Hou Ruoyi strode away after saying this.
Li Ke was left in a daze.
Why?
Why is this so?
Why don¡¯t you dare to hug her? Why can¡¯t you hug her?
Why is she still so kind and innocent, yet there is no change at all?
Why is she still thinking about herself?
Why¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
