Happy Little Scholar

Although Li Yi is her uncle, as an uncle, he can help Yang Liuqing rebel, but he cannot help her give birth to a son.

He only cares about how Yang Liuqing can ascend the throne and avenge her father and brother, and realize his long-cherished wish. As for who she will pass the throne to after becoming the empress, it is not something he, as an uncle, needs to worry about.

Old man Wang came with doubts and entanglements, and after Li Yi pointed out his doubts, he left with a happy face.

After a while, Wei Liang and Chen Qing came again.

For this nephew, Li Yi was really worried. He not only helped her make plans, but also helped her subordinates improve their ideological level.

Wei Liang and Chen Qing were both former frontier generals, but defending the border is different from rebelling. Li Yi needs to teach them how to start the first war, how to improve the military system, including how to expand the organization, do a good job of united front work, and create a wave...

Li Yi has always advocated that special people are used for special purposes. He is very relieved to leave the ideological work to Old Man Wang. He is absolutely professional in how to compose nursery rhymes, how to stuff silk books into fish stomachs, and how to write persuasion letters.

And Wei Liang and Chen Qing actually have even greater responsibilities. How to develop their camp from 500 people to 50,000, 500,000 people, how to fight every battle, defend every city, and how to help the empress clear all obstacles encountered along the way, such a heavy burden will be on their shoulders.

Unconsciously, they have been talking for more than an hour. Li Yi waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "Let's stop here today."

When the two left, they bowed deeply to him. What they learned from King Jing these days is enough to benefit their lives.

Li Yi leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes for a rest.

Although a little tired, it was worth it.

Not to mention that he did all this to help his nephew, it also satisfied a certain complex in his heart...

Just to say that Ruyi has been much gentler to him these days, it is worth doing all this.

He leaned back in the chair, and after an unknown period of time, there was a pair of hands on his shoulders, pressing gently.

It was not Ruyi Xiaohuan or Ruoqing, only Ruyi would use such a crude method.

He was a little entangled in his heart. He hoped that Ruyi would continue to be so gentle, but also hoped that she could return to her nature. She was becoming less and less like herself now. If she was deliberately suppressing it, would she be very unhappy?

Of course, he was just concerned about Ruyi, not because he had any strange habits or awakened any attributes that should not be awakened.

At a certain moment, Ruyi paused on his shoulder and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?" Li Yi opened his eyes and asked in confusion.

"Thank you for helping her."

"Why are you thanking me for helping her?"

Miss Liu Er did not answer. Li Yi thought about it, waved his hand, and said, "It's not as complicated as you think. Think about it. If your apprentice becomes the emperor, you will be the emperor's master, and I will be the emperor's uncle. My generation is higher than the emperor. It will be very prestigious to say it out..."

Miss Liu Er paused and asked, "Is that what you want?"

"What else can it be?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "Besides, if she becomes the empress, you will be the empress's master. Even if Mingzhu really becomes the empress, you will be better than her?"

Miss Liu Er frowned and said, "Just Even if this incident didn't happen, I'm still better than her. "

Why would a family care so much? Li Yi naturally wouldn't mention that she had lost to Mingzhu in a martial arts competition. He shook his head and said, "Isn't this just icing on the cake..."

Miss Liu Er seemed to remember something and asked, "Since you helped Yang Liuqing ascend the throne and wanted to be the empress's uncle, what did you want to do when you let Li Mingzhu become the emperor?"

"..."

Li Yi closed his eyes and said, "I just talked to them for too long. I'm a little sleepy. I'll take a nap first..."

He was really sleepy, but the strength of the hands on his shoulders was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult to fall asleep...

...

Cangzhou.

Cangzhou is located in the northwest border of Wu State. Although it can't be called a poor mountain and bad water, it is too remote from the imperial capital and adjacent to the chaotic land. Bandits and robbers come out of the mountains to make trouble. For dozens or hundreds of years, the people of Cangzhou have been deeply troubled by banditry, and their lives are difficult and miserable...

In the past two years, the banditry in the chaotic land has been eliminated, but the people's lives have become more difficult.

Since the chaos in Wu State several years ago, the imperial court has lost its actual control over Cangzhou.

In the past few years, Cangzhou has changed hands several times. First, a powerful person took advantage of the domestic chaos, attacked the state city, killed the governor and his assistants, and established himself as king.

Of course, a few months later, they were suppressed by the imperial court. Later, Cangzhou was attacked by powerful forces several times. The imperial court retreated and came again, and came and left again. Until two years ago, Princess Duanrong almost wiped out the rebellious forces in Cangzhou with an iron-blooded hand, and issued several policies that benefited the people, allowing the people of Cangzhou to have a short period of rest and recuperation.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Just a year ago, Princess Duanrong was besieged by the imperial court and several forces of peacemaking. After the defeat, there was no news.

Today, Shuzhou has been recovered by the imperial court, but with the imperial court's military strength, it can't suppress the several rebels who took advantage of the situation in this year. The people suffered from it and lived a very difficult life.

A village dozens of miles away from Cangzhou city.

Muramasa, who had all white hair and beard, knelt on the ground, bursting into tears, and begged: "Master Butler, please give us a little more time and a few days of grace. The village was robbed two days ago, and this is all we have left." This is life-saving food. If you take this food away, we will not be able to survive!"

A middle-aged man in a satin shirt glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "It is only natural to pay back your debts. You were robbed. What does it have to do with me? I only know that you can't pay the rent. When you go back, , Master will punish me, I will give you grace, who will give me grace?"

He looked at the people behind him and said, "What are you still doing? Take all the food away!"

Several servants carried cloth bags on their backs. Among the crowd below, more than ten men in coarse cloths looked sad and angry, but they could only stand where they were, not daring to make any move.

If they take action against these people, the people who come to our door tomorrow will be the government's police!

Seeing several people loading the grain into the carriage, the middle-aged man looked down and frowned: "I have only paid less than 30%. I will give you another half month. After half a month, if you still can't hand it over. , but don’t blame me for being rude!”

"Half a month..." The village leader watched a few people take away the last food in the village, collapsed to the ground, his eyes were dull, and murmured: "Half a month, half a month..., half a month , everyone starved to death..."

He sat on the ground, pointed at the sky and cursed: "God, God, God, you are not giving us people a way to live, you are asking us to die!"

No one in the villagers spoke, they all had empty eyes and stared blankly ahead.

Just after the autumn harvest, all the grain was robbed by bandits. Unable to pay the rent, the owner's family looted all their grain...

This entire village, with nearly a hundred mouths, is about to run out of food. How can it survive next year...

This shitty world doesn't give people like them a way to survive at all. It would be great if Her Royal Highness was still here...

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun..." The woman's panicked voice woke everyone up, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.

A girl about seven or eight years old, with ragged clothes and messy hair, fell to the ground. The woman squatted on the ground, picked up the girl, and shook her in panic.

"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you..."

Muramasa got up from the ground, walked over quickly, touched the girl's forehead, shook his head, and said: "This child has been sick for several days. Please find a doctor quickly. If you delay any longer, she will be dead... …”

The woman looked desperate. They couldn't even afford to eat. How could they have any spare money to find a doctor?

She hugged the girl, burst into tears, and cried: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, mother is sorry for you, mother is sorry for you..."

"Sister-in-law, what happened?"

Hearing a voice from beside her, the woman suddenly raised her head and saw a young man walking by the roadside.

The young man walked to the woman's side, knelt down, and pinched the little girl's forehead. The little girl slowly woke up.

She looked at the woman and said weakly: "Mom, I'm hungry..."

The woman hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Mom, go find something to eat for you..."

The young man took out a package from his arms, opened it, took out a steamed bun, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Let's eat something first."

The little girl was stunned. The next moment, she took the steamed bun and wolfed it down.

The young man turned back and said to the man standing on the roadside with a red cross armband on his shoulder: "This little girl is sick. Come and help her."

He looked at the woman and smiled: "Don't worry, he is a doctor."

All this happened very quickly. After the woman was stunned for a moment, she immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the young man several times, and said loudly: "Thank you for your great kindness, thank you for your great kindness... "

The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the Queen of Heaven..."
