Chapter 261 Changes
The county government of Xuyi County, when Li Ke returned, it was already dusk.

After Li Ke returned to Xuyi City from Huaishui, he went straight back to the government office. As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard of the government office, he saw Xiao Yuexian waiting by the door.

"My concubine pays my respects to Your Highness." Seeing Li Ke enter, Xiao Yuexian bowed his knees and made a palace salute.

Li Ke lifted her up with one hand and said: "This is not the outer courtyard, and there are no other people here, Xianniang quickly got up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Yuexian stood up in response, and saw that Li Ke's face seemed tired, so he asked: "The palace will leave after noon, and I have only returned since then, but my stomach is empty."

Li Ke was still thinking about water control at first, but he didn't think too much. After Xiao Yuexian said this, he remembered that he hadn't eaten a grain of rice for most of the day.

Li Ke smiled and said: "Hearing what Xianniang said, I am really hungry."

Xiao Yuexian said: "The concubine just cooked a few side dishes in the kitchen, do you want to try it, Your Highness?"

"Oh? You are so good at playing the piano, how can you even cook?" The famous Qin Ji in Yangzhou, a pair of piano players should be very careful, and she needs to stay away from the kitchen. I didn't expect Xianniang to be able to cook. Li Ke was naturally surprised when he heard this.

Xiao Yuexian replied: "Of course there are still skills, but the only one who can ask Xianniang to cook in this world is Her Highness."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked: "So, your delicacies today are made by me alone?"

Xiao Yuexian replied: "That's natural."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the king must taste it himself, and you go and bring the dishes to the inner room of the king."

"No." Xiao Yuexian replied, and then passed.

Xiao Yuexian's dishes looked refreshing, a plate of stewed fish slices, a plate of steamed lettuce, another plate of mutton, and a pot of stuffed grapes.

"You made these?" Li Ke looked at the three side dishes on the table. Although he hadn't tasted them yet, the color and aroma were already good.

Xiao Yuexian nodded and said: "These are all made by myself, His Highness laughed at me."

Li Ke waved his hands and said, "Xianniang is a good cook, so why not laugh at it. Before this king, I thought you were only good at piano, but I didn't expect that cooking skills are also like this."

Xiao Yuexian arranged the bowls and chopsticks neatly, and smiled at Li Ke: "As long as His Highness likes it, use it quickly."

Li Ke said: "There is no rush to eat. This king has important matters that cannot be delayed for a moment. You come to grind ink for this king first."

"Promise." Li Ke just came back from Huaishui, so he wanted to grind the pen, which was of course an important thing, Xiao Yuexian immediately put down the work in his hands and let Li Ke grind it.

The ink ingots used by the Xuyi county government office are ordinary pine smoke ink, which is naturally much inferior to the tribute ink in Li Ke's Linjiang Palace. Xiao Yuexian spent a lot of effort grinding the ink to make it slightly thicker.

"Your Highness, this ink is no better than the one in the palace, so just use it." Xiao Yuexian said to Li Ke after grinding the ink and laying out the paper.

Li Ke said: "This king was born in the army, so how can he be so particular about it, as long as he can write."

As Li Ke said, he took the pen from Xiao Yuexian, sat in front of the desk, and wrote the book.

It is naturally unusual for Li Ke to be busy on an empty stomach. Xiao Yuexian was also very curious when he saw Li Ke's upright appearance.

Xiao Yuexian pretended to rub Li Ke's shoulders, leaned on Li Ke's back, glanced at the top white paper on the desk from time to time, and Li Ke's book did not shy away from Xiao Yuexian, so Xiao Yuexian could read it carefully.

"The commanders of the southeastern military prefectures have personally issued a letter: It is raining heavily in Huainan today, and it has not stopped for days. The Huai River has already burst its embankment. If the Huai River is broken, the disaster will spread to the southeast half, causing the people to suffer and the national strength to be exhausted. My king Li Ke, In order to avoid natural disasters, we should exercise the power of the ministers and send the southeast government troops here to repair the embankment and manage the water administration. All the government troops of each government will follow the order of the king and deploy half of their standing troops to assist Chuzhou. Violators will be executed according to military orders!"

Xiao Yuexian was right behind Li Ke, looking at Li Ke's writing on the paper, although his face was calm, his heart was full of surprise.

She didn't expect that Li Ke would actually move his mind to mobilize troops to control the flood.The government army controls the water, this is a saying she has never heard before.

For a while, Xiao Yuexian hadn't completely digested what she had just seen, but the way she looked at Li Ke was a little more complicated.

She is the daughter of Xiao Xian, the princess of the subjugated country. From what Xiao Yuexian heard from childhood, the monarchs and officials of the Tang Dynasty should be treacherous, cunning, cruel and merciless, and treat the people under their rule like pigs and dogs. These Xiao Yuexians have never doubted She believed it with all her heart, but when she saw Li Ke, she actually started to waver now.

In this world, there should be no one better than Li Ke who can represent the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty whom she hates.

He is a prince, he is a prince, and he is a governor. He is both a king and a minister. He should be the lackey of the Tang Dynasty that Xiao Yuexian hates the most, but every time Xiao Yuexian faces Li Ke, she can't feel too much in her heart. disgust.

In terms of appearance, Li Ke is handsome and heroic. Although he is young, he has an indescribable stability and indifference that does not match his age.

In terms of personality, Li Ke was gentle in dealing with others and dealing with things. Even when facing the servants in the palace, he didn't have too much airs. On the contrary, he was very kind.

In terms of talent, Li Ke was a hostage when he was young, and he saved all the people in Guanzhong. On par with a veteran general in the army.

It is such a person, Xiao Yuexian can't equate him with those corrupt and vicious court eagles and dogs no matter what.

How important is it that the local governor is good at mobilizing the government army? In order to ease the water situation of the Huaihe River, Li Ke willingly took it on.

Military power has always been the most taboo thing. Li Ke was born in the clan, and this is especially true between father and son in the Tian family. Xiao Yuexian is naturally very clear about this.

Although Li Ke's action of mobilizing the government's army to control the water has miraculous effects, he also has a huge relationship. If this matter comes to court, dismissal from office is considered light. If it is not done well, he may even lose the king Noble and title, demoted to common people.

Although Li Ke is the governor of Yangzhou and promoted military affairs in the southeast, the flood in Huainan is a government matter and is not included in the military affairs. Li Ke can protect his life wisely and ignore it, but Li Ke made a move, and used the axe bestowed on him by Li Shimin. power.

You must know that Li Shimin bestowed Li Ke with a battleaxe, mostly for the purpose of the scene, not for Li Ke to use it in this way.

While Xiao Yuexian was still dazed, Li Ke's warrant had already been written, and he took out his King Chu's golden seal from the wooden box beside him, and sealed it.

"King Keyin of Chu."

Four bright red seal characters were printed on the handwriting, and this handwriting immediately had the highest effectiveness in the southeast half of the country.

"Come here, send out the king's handwriting, and let the army of Chu, Hao, Chu, and Shou prefectures act according to the order immediately, without delay." Li Ke closed the handwriting, called the guard outside the door, and ordered .
