"The Marquis is back!"

In front of the gate of the Li Mansion in the city of Shamen Town, the plaque of the Li Mansion on the gate has just been replaced by the plaque of the County Marquis' Mansion. The three gilded characters of the county marquis mansion were given by the emperor himself, and the best craftsmen were invited to make plaques.

In front of the mansion, the Li Mansion from Li's mother Han, to Li Jing's wife Gui Niang and the second room Wan'er, the third room of the Jun, and the fourth and fifth rooms Pei Chenxi and Pei Chenlan all dressed up and stood in front of the door waiting for Li Jing.

Li Jing turned over and dismounted, and Li's mother had already pounced on Li Jing and cried excitedly, which was crying with joy. This time, Li Jing was crowned as a general and a county marquis, and was promoted to the post of three grades. As Li Jing's mother and wife, she also had a decree to seal it.

Li's mother Han was crowned as the county monarch of the five products, and Li Jing's wife Wang Guiniang was crowned as the sixth grade of the edict, and she was honored as the county lady in the future. In addition, Li Jing's four concubines, Wan'er, Wang Haojun, Pei Chenxi and Pei Chenlan, have also been sealed, according to the system, Li Jing is now the third grade, and there are six concubines, all of whom are regarded as the seventh grade. Wan'er and Wang Haojun all have a grade from the seventh grade. Although she is still a concubine, her status is different.

In addition, the Son of Heaven also posthumously presented Li Jing's father Li Gang as the squire of the school inspection department, and Li Jing's eldest brother Li Yan and second brother Li Yu were posthumously presented as Xuande Lang under the seventh grade.

This is the most glorious day for Li Jing. Li Jing cried up and down, the old lady especially cried loudly, Li Jing stood in the ancestral hall, enshrined the holy decree in the ancestral hall, and gave incense to Li's father's tablet. Even Wan'er and Wang Haojun, Pei Chenxi and Pei Chenlan, the four concubines, originally had no chance to enter the ancestral hall. Even if she is the wife Wang Guiniang, she is only after marrying Li Jing. and the time of ancestor worship every year. Only once did he enter the ancestral hall. Mother Li is okay with Wan'er. After all, he was raised since childhood. But for the three Wang Haojun who Li Jing married back without her consent, they have never been very welcome.

After Li Jing brought them back, the three of them handed tea to Han, but Han didn't answer. Although the Han family is also from a big family, they are very dissatisfied with the concubines of Wang Haojun's three sons.

Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, and take a concubine!

But these three concubines are also too beautiful, and the father of these three people used to be Li Jing's opponent, and they were concubines who came back from the war. Yes. After only seeing one time, the Han family refused to let them stay in the Li Mansion. Li Jing didn't want the house to be restless, so he arranged the three of them in the backyard of the town general's mansion. Today is a big day, and these three people have also been sealed, so there is also their share in front of the ancestral hall.

Of course, in addition to this, Han Shiken let them enter the ancestral hall, and there was a more important reason why these three women were actually pregnant. Wang Guiniang and Wan'er have been married for more than half a year, and there has been no movement so far. And as soon as these three concubines followed Li Jing, they had it, which has to be said to be a creation to make people. Especially Li Jing had already told Mother Li about Zhang Yingying. This incident made Li's mother both happy and worried. Naturally, the happy Li family has a queen. What worries me is that the wife has not moved, three concubines and an outer room. But there is. Later, Wang Guiniang's status at home was embarrassing, although Li Jing was not a person with a bad character, but the old lady Wang Yijun only saw one time, and knew that Lu Dao was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It is said that the mother is more expensive than the son, even if Li Jing is not partial, but he can't compete with the fox.

After the ancestral hall told her ancestors, Mother Li immediately called Gui Niang and Wan'er into the upper bedroom. "Gui Niang, is there any movement in your stomach?"

Gui Niang shook her head, Mother Li looked at Wan'er again, and Wan'er shook her head helplessly.

Mother Li sighed: "Why is this so strange, you have been married for more than half a year, and San'er is not unloving to you, but why is there no movement." You see, the three little ones have already had bodies as soon as they followed. You have also been married for more than half a year, and now not only do you have three little ones, but also have bodies, and if they give birth to a boy in the future, you will have a hard time. ”

Wang Guiniang used to be a girl who dared to love and hate, but after marriage, Li Jing's status continued to improve, and she changed her temperament. At this time, when he heard this, he said helplessly: "It's all daughters-in-law who are not filial!" ”

"You can't blame you for that, but you'll have to figure out something. You look at the three little ones, which one of them is not as beautiful as they are, you are an eldest woman, and the conditions at home are good now, so you can also put more clothes and jewelry, and you are not considered a husband and wife, and you have to find some ways to please your husband. Now that San Lang is back, I let him stay in your courtyard at night these days, and those foxes have bodies anyway. Gui Niang, as long as you give birth to a child, you will be the grandson of our family, even if they are born early, it will only be a concubine. ”

Wang Guiniang nodded a little shyly, Li Jing brought back a few small ones, and she couldn't do anything about it, but now seeing that those little ones were pregnant, she couldn't sleep all night.

The Shamen Town General's Mansion has now been changed to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. Andong Protectorate was originally one of the six major capital protectorates of the Tang Dynasty, and was originally an institution established by the Tang Dynasty and the Silla coalition army to manage Goguryeo's homeland after the destruction of Goguryeo. After the Luotang War, the Andong Protectorate moved from Pyongyang to Liaodong and became a military and political institution in the Tang Dynasty to administer Liaodong, as well as Goguryeo and Balhae.

Later, due to the disturbance of Tibet and Silla, in the third year of the Shangyuan Dynasty (676), the Tang Dynasty moved the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to the ancient city of Liaodong (now Liaoyang). In the second year of Yifeng (677), he moved to the new city (now Fushun Gaoer Mountain). In the first year of Tongtian (696), the Khitan people in western Liaoning rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and the land transportation between the Tang and the Andong Protectorate was interrupted for a time. In the second year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (714), the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate moved to Pingzhou (now Lulong, Hebei). In the second year of Tianbao (742), he moved to the ancient county town of western Liaoning (now Yixian County, Liaoning). Affected by the Anshi Rebellion, in the second year of Tang Suzong (761), the Andong Protectorate was abolished.

From Pyongyang to Liaoyang to Xincheng, then to Pyongju, and then to Yingzhou, it was moved again and again, and finally abolished.

At present, the emperor ordered the rebuilding of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, but in fact, Li Jing, the new Anton Protector, could only manage Qingni City and Beisha City. Therefore, for the time being, Li Jing placed the seat of the capital protection mansion in Shamen Town.

This time, Li Jing was crowned by the emperor, and Li Jing naturally did not forget his brothers, who all reported the official positions of the soldiers in accordance with the establishment of the Zhendong Army. These confessions were all brought by the eunuch Wang Tong, and they were all blank confessions. In addition to those military positions, Wang Tong also brought many blank ceremonies of honored officers and loose officers, and basically all the officers were promoted.

As for ordinary soldiers, Li Jing also ordered all soldiers in the Zhendong Army to be promoted to the next level.

In addition, Li Jing also asked Zhang Hong to find the treasury, and gave 25,000 men and horses to the Zhendong Army, each of whom was rewarded with ten times.

Especially in the middle chamber and the angry wave camp that went to Qingzhou this time, each person will be rewarded with ten times, and the battle merits and first-level merits will be counted separately. The whole army was jubilant. Even the Li family in Qingni City, Liaodong, and the Guo family in Beisha City were all happy, feeling that they were with the right person. Li Jing was appreciated by the emperor and promoted to the rank of knight, and the higher Li Jing's status, the higher they were.

Five days have passed since Li Jing proposed an exchange of conditions to Song Wen, calculating the time, if it was a quick return, Song Wei would have already received the letter sent by Song Wen, and the reply would have almost arrived in Dengzhou.

"Does the marquis think Song Wei will agree to our proposal?" Lin Wei asked. Let Song Wen take Dengzhou's soldiers and horses to Zizhou to reinforce Song Wei, and take out one million money and 100,000 stone rice to make military expenses and military rations, in exchange for Dengzhou, this exchange, it is not easy to measure which one suffers and which one takes advantage.

Li Liang said with a smile: "I heard that the fighting in Zizhou is not lively now, Wang Jingwu looked at the land, but suddenly won two battles against the Lu army. And the Pinglu army came in a hurry, but they didn't bring much grain and grass, and now they can't attack Zizhou for a long time, the grain and grass are about to run out, and all battalions are waiting for Song Wei to send grain. I heard that Song Wei originally promised to reward the soldiers who came below, but he didn't fulfill it, and now he is making a lot of trouble, and the smoke is obstructing, and if it goes on like this, there is no need for Wang Jingwu to fight back, and it is estimated that the Pinglu army will have to go home by itself. ”

Although Song Wei is a veteran, since he took office for more than a year, he has been trying his best to confront Wang Jingwu, and he has not yet come to control the army below, at most he has gathered some military leaders. Dengzhou has been peaceful for a long time, except for the Qingzhou Ya Army and the border army on the Dengzhou side, the other departments of the Pinglu Army really have no combat effectiveness. Most of the military leaders of various departments eat empty salaries, but they use them to support private soldiers, resulting in low combat effectiveness of officials and soldiers, and elite families, but they are unwilling to take them out to fight. Moreover, it was impossible to unify for a while, and it was difficult for such an army to deal with Wang Jingwu for a while.

In fact, Li Jing calculated these early, and if you think about the results of the various armies of the imperial court against Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's grass army in history, you can know their combat effectiveness.

"If Song Wei is a smart person, he should understand, even if he starts to guard against us now, but in the current situation, his best choice is to deal with Wang Jingwu wholeheartedly first, rather than come to us for trouble. If there was no emperor's will, Song Wei might have resisted again, but now ......" Li Zhen smiled: "I'm sure that Song Wei can only agree to the request of the marquis whether he wants it or not." "Li Zhen gave up Jin Wuwei's position of riding Cao to join the army, and now he is serving as Li Jing's marching Sima of the Zhendong Army, but he is a dignified and subordinate to the position of Sanpin.

Li Liang didn't have much opinion on coming from his brother Li Zhen, and echoed Li Zhen's words: "I don't think Song Wei has any other choice, he is reluctant to go to Dengzhou, so when Wang Jingwu survives the current period, it will be really difficult to take Ziqi back." However, even if Song Wei handed over Dengzhou, I guess it would definitely not be so cheap, and there may be some conditions. ”

"It doesn't matter, what we want is Dengzhou, and the rest, it doesn't matter if you make some concessions." Li Jing waved his hand, Dengzhou is going to be decided, as for the rest, making some concessions to Song Wei can be regarded as easing the relationship between the two sides. (To be continued......)
