Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 253 Sword Pointing at Huainan
"If I'm rare, I don't care about a town; if I have a rare one, it's like Dong Zhuo's Lv Bu. If he is male, he will be male. The nature of eagles and birds will go away when they are full. I am really afraid of overturning the poison."

This is Li Ke's evaluation of Li Hanzhi, comparing him to Lu Bu, which is a relatively high praise.

Looking at those people who came out of his subordinates, super-class generals like Yang Shihou and Fu Cunshen all came out of Li Hanzhi's team, and there were quite a few fierce generals like Li Que and Zou Mingfeng.

As long as he has half the strategy of Zhu Wen, there may be another hero who dominates the world in the Five Dynasties.

Fortunately, Li Hanzhi has no talent for governance. According to historical records, Li Hanzhi was harsh, disrespectful to soldiers, and lost the morale of the army. This is why Yang Shihou felt resentful towards him.

Of course, Li Keyong compared Li Hanzhi to Lu Bu, and he was quite jealous of him. Just like Li Ye treated Li Keyong, Li Keyong regarded Li Hanzhi as a thug-like little wolf dog, and was always on guard against meeting him. I won't let the little wolf dog rebel again.

Now Li Ye and Li Keyong borrowed Li Hanzhi, although Li Keyong was a bit reluctant, but he was not stingy.

After all, the little wolf dog is not familiar with it, so instead of spending money and food to hang it, it is better to throw away this burden, as long as it does not bite itself.

How did Li Ke know that His Majesty the Emperor wanted this little wolf dog, not only to lead Li Hanzhi to bite people, but also to eat dog meat!

Li Ye was very relieved, talking with a straightforward person was a pleasure.

"Come here, serve the wine!"

"promise!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and leave. After Mrs. Liu left, it was time for men.

"Bring all Zhu Wen's female relatives here!"

There are quite a few female relatives in the old Zhu's mansion. There are five wives and concubines. In addition to the Zhang family, there is also the Chen family who was earlier with Zhu Wen. He is in his 30s and gave birth to Zhu Youyu.

Mrs. Li, less than thirty years old, was born as a prostitute in the camp and gave birth to Zhu Yougui.

He Shi, in his early twenties, was originally the concubine of Li Kerang, the military governor of the Tianping Army, and was accepted by Zhu Wen as his concubine.

There is also a family named Liu, who was bestowed upon Jing Xiang by him. After Jing Xiang voted to the Tang Dynasty, the Liu family was thrown into the military camp by Zhu Wen and served as a camp prostitute.

In addition to the five wives and concubines, there are also seventeen beauties living in the inner house as actors.

As soon as Yingying and Yanyan came on the stage, Li Keyong's eyes were straightened. As the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, Li Keyong has no shortage of women around him, and there are not a few of them who are beautiful and beautiful.

For example, Li Cunxu's mother, the Cao family, is a great beauty, which is seen in the annals of history.

But getting excited at this time is a man's little thought, even though these women are all ordinary-looking, but they are all Zhu Wen's women, that's enough.

Even His Majesty the Emperor is not exempt!

Li Ye said to Zhang Hui: "Pour me some wine, can you?"

Zhang Hui's face was like water, and he saluted lightly, kneeling beside the emperor, as expected of being from a scholarly family, in terms of etiquette, Zhang Hui had nothing to say, his behavior was very decent

"You, you, and you all go to pour wine for Prince Li!"

"promise!"

Chen, Li, He, and Liu all sat around Li Keyong in response.

Play music, dance!

Seventeen actors, dressed in crescent crowns and floral skirts, swayed according to the choreographed songs and dances.

Li Keyong was very open, regardless of the emperor's side, Chen, Li and other women did not refuse.

In fact, this is the way of the world. Compared with the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was much more relaxed in terms of principles. Besides, if a woman wants to live, what can she do except to please men?

Taking a step back, meeting a hero like Li Keyong, who can protect him for a lifetime, even if he devotes himself to serving him, is a good way out.

As for the Liu family, who is naturally dissolute, he is even more indomitable, and even the Tigers in Hedong can't bear it.

Seeing such a scene, Li Ye straightened his head, His Majesty the Emperor looked at Zhang Hui, his thoughtful appearance made me feel pity.

He knew that what he was worried about was Zhu Youzhen's life.

Li Ye said: "How about having a drink with me?"

Zhang Hui filled two glasses of wine and drank them all in one gulp. Zhang Hui coughed repeatedly.

"Is this wine...very strong?"

"You finally spoke!"

Tears welled up from the corners of Zhang Hui's eyes, and he said, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to show you favor..."

Li Ye said in displeasure: "Zhu Wen is rebellious, and the whole family should be punished. I forgave his mother and brother, isn't that enough?"

Zhang Hui cried: "The slave family also knows that the laws of the country are not tolerated, I just ask your majesty to allow this son to be adopted by his elder brother..."

Li Ye shouted: "The Xuanwu Department has no less than one hundred thousand members. If there are people with ulterior motives who rebel in the name of your son, how many people will die, how many people will be displaced, and brother Zhu Wen's line will also be extinct..."

"No, no..."

"I have no personal grievances with Zhu Wen. You don't have to meddle in these important national affairs!"

After Li Ye finished speaking, he picked up Zhang Hui and entered the East Chamber...

The twisted melon is also quite sweet...

The next day, a ray of morning light shone into the room, and when Li Ye woke up, Zhang Hui had finished dressing and was standing by the bed, Zhao Xi and other servants were on both sides.

"How is the Duke of Longxi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Duke of Longxi has not woken up yet in the west chamber!"

"Who served Prince Li's bed yesterday?"

"Chen, Liu, Li, and He all went, and King Li also picked three actors. At the third watch, Mrs. Chen was kicked out, and the other six stayed in bed. After tossing around until the fourth watch, the West Wing calm down!"

The combat power used by Li Ke is very majestic.

"If the Duke of Longxi wakes up, tell him that these six people have been given to him, and they will be taken away when he returns!"

"promise!"

Li Ye looked at Zhang Hui, saw his frowning, and thought of the gentleness of last night, he couldn't help but stepped forward to embrace him gently, caressing Rouyi and said: "I can imprison him first, and don't want his life for now, and wait until the world is peaceful." ,what do you think?"

When Zhang Hui heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye shook his head, Zhang Hui is indeed lovely, but also poisonous!

Concentrating his thoughts, Li Ye left the inner house and came to the official hall of the Jiedu Envoy. Shao Hanqing, the marching Sima of the Zuo Shence Army, had been waiting for a long time.

"The Bian River connects the north and the south, but it has been in disrepair for a long time, and water transportation is often blocked. The wide area is too shallow to pass large ships, and the narrow area is too fast. What can you do?"

"After the autumn harvest, the people of Bian, Bo, Song, and Wei states along the road can be sent to dredge and expand!"

Li Ye shook his head, and said: "There is a time when the water level of a river is the shallowest. At that time, dredging and widening can get twice the result with half the effort. How to dredge and how to widen can only be done by those who are proficient in water transportation!"

Shao Hanqing said: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true!"

Li Ye said: "I will send someone to replace you in the matter of Zuo Shen's military strategy. Now you are looking for people who are good at water conservancy, figure out the water situation of the Bian River, how to manage it, how many people are needed, how much food, and draw up a charter to report to me. !"

"promise!"

The overall situation in Henan has been decided, and Li Ye turned his attention to Huainan. The importance of Huainan depends on water transportation!
