When Li Yaonan received the transfer order, Prince Lian and Marquis Zhenbei had also arrived. Almost everyone was an acquaintance, and after exchanging pleasantries, the government office held a banquet to welcome them.
Seeing Li Yaonan again, Prince Lian was quite moved. He hadn't seen him for a few years, but he didn't expect that the boy had grown up so much. Lin Zhiyuan also got married and had children. Time really is unforgiving.
"Why are you sighing? Are you sighing about your old age?" Lian Jinghui joked with a smile. His rough appearance had nothing to do with being refined, but despite this, he happened to be a close friend of Prince Lian. It was also thanks to him that Lin Zhiyuan was able to establish a relationship with Prince Lian's mansion.
"I'm indeed old. My grandson turned one last year, and I was thinking of arranging a child marriage with your family." Prince Lian said this in a serious tone, with a hint of smile on his lips.
"Okay, my son is eight years old this year, and I don't know where my granddaughter is yet. As long as your grandson can wait, it's a childhood marriage, who's afraid of who!" Lian Jinghui said in a very straightforward manner, and many people in the room laughed.
Prince Lian was choked and felt that it was not wise to argue with a scoundrel. The daughters of the Lian family were all strong and tough, and they really thought he was precious.
With this episode, the banquet became lively. The presence of Marquis Zhenbei was extremely low, and he believed whatever others said. He knew that if his son had not married a prince consort, the emperor would definitely not assign him any duties. Seeing Li Yaonan's rising status and prosperity, he felt a little regretful in his heart. He remembered that his son and Li Yaonan seemed to be Jinshi in the same imperial examination, but it was a pity that his son was cut off from the official career because of his status as a prince consort.
if... ...
Marquis Zhenbei gave a bitter smile. There were not so many ifs in this world. If his son had not married a prince consort, how could he have inherited the title
"My Lord." Li Yaonan saw him looking at him and smiled faintly in response.
Marquis Zhenbei felt bitter in his heart, looking at the young talent in front of him. He thought that if his son could embark on a career in politics, he would surely be as outstanding as him.
After the banquet, Li Yaonan received the transfer order and took up the post immediately.
This time there was a major reshuffle in Yunnan, and some were happy while others were worried. County Magistrate Yang was promoted twice and finally became a sixth-rank official, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
Li Yaonan was in a very good mood, as patrol officer was a good position. There were only a handful of 25-year-old fourth-rank officials in history. He was very satisfied with his performance, and he believed that after the war, when merits were awarded, his gains would be even greater.
Only Brigadier General Zhao had a gloomy face. All the joy of others seemed like a mockery to him, mocking that he had lost the trust of the emperor. The governor was demoted to a lieutenant general, and the difference was imaginable. In order to atone for his sins and win back the emperor's heart, Brigadier General Zhao was ruthless this time and fought desperately to earn merits on the battlefield.
Lian Jinghui raised an eyebrow at this, and they all killed more bravely in order to compete with each other.
The enemy was defeated. The Jin army had indeed used its superior numbers to bully the weak. Lian Jinghui had 100,000 troops, and Lieutenant General Zhao brought another 100,000 troops. The enemy was defeated step by step, and a month later, the Fengshan territory was taken back by the Jin army.
The good news reached the capital, and the emperor was very pleased. At this time, Prince Lian's memorial was presented to the emperor. Li Yaonan's action of raising military supplies was greatly praised by the emperor, and Lin Yixuan also made a name for himself in front of the emperor.
Li Yaonan firmly controlled Fengshan in his hands. He took advantage of his position and used some connections to quickly transfer Li Youxin to Fengshan to serve as the county magistrate. As the saying goes, good things should be kept in the family. Fengshan had a lot of work to do, so it was a good time to make political achievements.
Others turned a blind eye to his behavior of inserting people into the government. This was a common situation in official circles. Moreover, Li Youxin was a newly-appointed Jinshi from the previous year, so it was not excessive for him to serve as the magistrate of Fengshan County.
On the day Li Jingxiang received the good news, he opened the ancestral hall to thank his ancestors. The Li family finally produced a talent. Li Yaonan was already a fourth-rank official at a young age, and while getting promoted he did not forget to help his clansmen. He thought that the rise of the Li family was just around the corner.
Li Jingxiang excitedly held a banquet for three days and three nights. Li Taian was resentful. Li Yaonan was obviously his son, but why did someone else get the advantage
The Li family is in a very bad situation now. The officialdom is always unpredictable. Ever since the Ma Yulian incident, Li Yaozu has been excluded in the officialdom. Now, several years have passed and he is still a seventh-rank official. The Minister of Rites has completely given up on him. The Li family is now living a worse life.
After the court sent food and fodder, Lin Yixuan rushed to Fengshan day and night. She missed her husband very much. There were no swords or spears on the battlefield. Even though she knew that her husband was well prepared, she still couldn't help but worry.
Li Yaonan was helpless with his young husband, so he hurriedly rode to greet him. Fengshan was in a mess now, and he was afraid that his husband would suffer.
Lin Yixuan traveled light this time, with only a few guards. The closer he got to Fengshan, the more anxious he became.
Seeing her husband's carriage from afar, Li Yaonan rode his horse to meet him.
"Husband." Lin Yixuan lifted the car curtain, his clear voice was sweet enough to make people sick, his eyes full of longing stared at the person in front of him. After not seeing his husband for a few months, he found that he seemed to have become much calmer, and there was a faint aura of solemnity about him.
Li Yaonan smiled and stretched out her hand. Seeing her husband's pretty face, she felt a sudden surge in her lower abdomen and suddenly felt that it was nice to have him by her side.
Lin Yixuan got off the carriage and ran to her husband with a smile on her face.
Li Yaonan took his hand, exerted a little force, put his husband in front of him and rode away.
"Husband." Lin Yixuan rubbed his chest, feeling the scent of her husband, and felt a sense of peace in her heart.
Li Yaonan hugged the body in his arms tightly, and his warm breath sprayed on his husband's neck. He wished he could eat him right now.
The two returned to the temporary residence. Lin Yixuan looked around, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes. Li Yaonan smiled and said, "The place is simple, please bear with me. My brother is in the army now and is expected to be back in a few days."
"I understand." Lin Yixuan said softly. The Dajin army has been making great progress recently. It is a good time to earn military merits. How could he delay his elder brother
A wicked smile appeared on Li Yaonan's lips. After returning to the room, he closed the door and a barrage of kisses fell like raindrops.
Lin Yixuan responded wholeheartedly, hugging her husband with her arms, and soon, a burst of blushing noises could be heard in the room.
Li Yaonan ate her husband thoroughly and was extremely glad that she was a civil servant, as it was natural for her to bring her family with her when she took office.
Looking at her husband's tired face with a smile, Li Yaonan was satisfied and asked someone to bring hot water. The two of them took a while to wash up. Lin Yixuan continued to sleep while Li Yaonan went out to do business.
With her husband taking care of the house, Li Yaonan's quality of life has improved dramatically, making everyone envious.
Li Yaonan was very proud of himself and never concealed his relationship with his husband. He let everyone know that he and his husband were deeply in love, and he wanted it to be so dazzling.
After another victory, when Lin Zhiyuan came back from the army, Prince Lian was about to return to the capital. He had already reported to the emperor about the matter of the Ten-Arrow Crossbow. No matter how loyal Lieutenant General Zhao was, or how capable he was in marching and fighting, Prince Lian always believed that a person with bad character would only bring harm to the people if he held a high position.
After reading the memorial, the emperor sighed inwardly. He believed that the art of being an emperor lies in balance. He originally wanted to use this military achievement to promote Lieutenant General Zhao to a higher position, but now he had to give up.
A month later, Li Youxin came to Fengshan to take up his post. Li Yaonan had almost sorted out everything and guided him for a while. After Li Youxin got the hang of it, Li Yaonan took her husband back to Dali.
When the governor stepped down, Li Yaonan showed no mercy and took the opportunity to raid the homes of several wealthy businessmen, and used all the money he obtained for the benefit of the people.
The war in Yunnan gradually stabilized, and the Qiang tribe sent another 100,000 troops to support. This was a protracted war, but Li Yaonan firmly believed that with Brigadier General Zhao and Lian Jinghui leading the troops in battle, nothing would go wrong. These two people have been competitive for a long time, and the benefits of this are obvious. Both of them are vying to make military achievements, and the only unlucky one is the enemy.
Li Yaonan took drastic measures to rectify Yunnan, and some bad habits of the past must be eradicated completely.
Lord Pan felt bitter in his heart, and could not tell whether he was in pain or regret. He happened to go to Shanxi when the war in Yunnan broke out. He was very grateful at that time that he could avoid a war. However, within a few months, the situation took a drastic turn. The Yunnan officials who should be demoted were demoted or transferred. Not only did he have no hope of promotion, but he was also terrified after returning, fearing that he would make a mistake and lose his official hat. Li Yaonan took massive actions, and he could only try his best to cooperate with him, so how could he dare to raise any objections
Prefect He had been looking forward to a promotion for several years, and finally his wish came true thanks to a transfer order from the emperor. He was promoted two levels at once and became the prefect of Fengtian Prefecture in Yunnan. It was simply pie in the sky. He thought that he would be proud of himself if he could just get promoted one level.
Li Yaonan called the emperor his confidant and was extremely happy about Lord He's promotion. They were old partners, and with the help of Governor He, it would be much easier to reorganize Yunnan, at least there wouldn't be so many voices of opposition.
Prefect He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. Actually, he really wanted to do something big, but when he saw Lord Li's attitude, he decided to stay out of the spotlight for the time being and just follow behind him to benefit from his fame. Lord Li was very capable anyway, so why should he work so hard and get no thanks? Prefect He was very shrewd.
What Li Yaonan likes is his shrewdness.
At Lin Yixuan's request, Li Xu and Li Xi took them back. The two children hadn't seen their parents for several months. Li Xi hugged his father and cried loudly, but Li Xu became much more sensible, as if he had grown up in an instant.
Li Yaonan felt both guilty and relieved, and looked at his eldest son with admiration: "Xu'er has grown up."
Li Xu straightened his back, feeling very happy. His father's recognition was the best reward for him.
The family was finally reunited, and there was a lot more laughter and joy in the house. What was worth celebrating was that Lin Yixuan was pregnant again.
Li Xi knew that he was going to be a big brother, so he followed Lin Yixuan around and was extremely curious. Lin Yixuan was annoyed by his noise, so he simply left him to be educated by his eldest son.
Li Xu was very distressed. It was not easy to be a good brother. He couldn't help but think back to whether he was as annoying as his younger brother.
Li Yaonan had no idea about the ancient belief that having many children meant a blessing. In his opinion, two sons were enough, and he hoped that his husband could have a daughter.
Lin Yixuan quickly shattered his hopes, saying that Shuang'er could only give birth to a son and Shuang'er, and the chance of giving birth to a daughter was zero.
Li Yaonan was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled and said, "I hope to give birth to a twin like you."
Lin Yixuan glared at him, his handsome face flushed, and he gently stroked his flat belly. In fact, he hoped to have a son. Shuang'er had a hard life in this world, and he couldn't bear to let the child suffer.
The author has something to say: Thank you, I will continue to work hard. o(n_n)o
The war will be over in the next chapter, and my brother will have to wait until the emperor rewards him for his merits before he can be promoted.
It's almost finished. I've been a bit lazy recently. Please forgive me and don't throw bricks at me.
