Thief Emperor

Chapter 655 Reward
The affairs between the two brothers of the Wu family are not confusing. Although Wu Er is smart, he is a bit soft-hearted.

If he had really fought for it back then, he might not have been a match for Wu Da who was sitting on the throne.

Moreover, a man like Emperor Wu Yuancheng might be a mess in governing the country, but he might be an expert in internal fighting. If a fight breaks out, even without this assassin, it is hard to say who will win or lose between the two brothers.

Moreover, Emperor Wu Yuancheng was not actually a mentally retarded person. He could be considered average in governing the country.

However, the country's fortune has come to this point. Even if the old emperor is still alive, the Great Zhou Dynasty will still be weak, but the situation may be better than it is now.

After returning to the new city from the old city, Li Yun did not go to the government office to do his work, but returned to Qianyuan. He first handled some daily affairs in the study, and then went to the backyard and held Li Yuan, who was already learning to read, in his arms.

Xue Yun'er was right beside them, and seeing this, she smiled and said, "My husband is free today, and he actually has time to come over and hug our son."

Li Yun looked at his son in his arms, pinched his cheek, and said with a smile: "You said that as if I had never taken care of him before."

Xue Yuner glanced at Li Yun and said angrily, "My husband has never taken care of him."

Li Yun put him down, picked up the crooked characters on the table, and asked softly, "You're only three years old, how come you're already writing?"

"Many people said that we should teach him well."

Xue Yun'er handed Li Yuan to Dong'er beside her to take care of him, then looked at Li Yun and said slowly: "It is said that Yuan'er is the key to our Jiangdong's future. As a mother, I can't not lay a good foundation for him, right?"

At this point, she paused and said softly, "I thought, I will teach him for two years myself, and when he is five years old, I will hand him over to Mr. Du for elementary education. After all, we agreed before that Mr. Gu will be our teacher."

Li Yun put down the paper in his hand, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly, saying, "Of course we should teach him, but don't push him too much, and don't let him have a sense of mission since he was young."

"Just raise him as an ordinary child."

Xue Yuner frowned slightly and whispered, "What does your husband mean by this? Has this child done anything to displease your husband?"

Li Yun was about to become king, and Li Yuan must be the crown prince without a doubt. The crown prince's education was of course the top priority, and what Li Yun said meant that he wanted to train Li Yuan as a normal child.

To Xue Yuner, it certainly had a different taste.

Li Yun shook his head slightly, told Xue Yun'er about the two Wu brothers, and then said softly: "If you put too much pressure on them, they will have psychological problems, and they may cause greater trouble in the future."

"We can't let him become mentally distorted."

Generally speaking, the heirs of a strong emperor will have psychological problems.

For example, the crown prince of Li Er and the crown prince of Kangxi Dynasty.

Even though Li Yuan was only three years old at that time, Li Yun had to consider his future.

Try to make him a normal child.

Xue Yun'er looked up at Li Yun thoughtfully. Li Yun patted her on the back and said softly, "Trust your husband."

Mr. Li looked outside and said silently, "As long as he grows up happily and his character doesn't have any major problems, he will be the one to inherit our family business."

Xue Yun'er nodded and said silently: "My husband is the boss."

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Liu Bo, the director of the Ninth Department, walked into Qian Garden in hurried steps.

It was noon, and Li Yun's family was having dinner. After Liu Bo entered the backyard, he soon saw Li Yun. Li Yun waved at him and said with a smile, "Old Nine, have you eaten yet?"

Liu Bo stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "I've been busy all morning, how can I have time to eat?"

"Come on, come on, sit down and eat together."

At this moment, there were not many people at Li Yun's dinner table. Apart from Li Yun's family, there was only one Xue Gui present. Xue Gui already recognized Liu Bo. When he saw Liu Bo coming, he quickly stood up, bowed his head and said, "Uncle Jiu."

Liu Bo nodded and smiled at Xue Gui: "Good boy."

"Uncle Jiu will give you some toys to play with in a few days."

Xue Gui happily responded with a yes.

Liu Bo greeted everyone at the table one by one, then sat down next to Li Yun, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Second brother, Jiusi just sent a message that Jingzhou has been breached."

"Jingnan Army, take the initiative to open the city and surrender."

The chopsticks in Li Yun's hand stopped in mid-air. He turned his head to look at Liu Bo, took a deep breath, and asked, "Tell me the exact number."

"Yes."

Liu Bo paused and continued, "There were about 15,000 soldiers in the Jingzhou City, but only about half of them were left. Their morale was low and they could no longer fight. Yang Min, the governor of Jingzhou City, had no choice but to lead his men to surrender."

Liu Bo said softly: "This Yang Min, when he left the city, he loudly said that he was from the Hongnong Yang family and wanted to see the second brother."

Li Yun sneered and put down his chopsticks.

"It's really a prestigious person."

Liu Bo smiled and said, "General Su asked Chen Da to garrison Jingzhou. He himself has brought cavalry to escort Yang Min back to Jinling."

"It will probably arrive in a few days." At this moment, Zhao Cheng was already in Jinling City, and Meng Qing was stationed in Xiangzhou.

The two deputy generals took over the power of the main general in advance and temporarily commanded the army.

This is also a rare training opportunity for them.

Li Yun said "hmm", exhaled a long breath, looked at Liu Bo, and said with a smile: "Old Nine, the things we decided at the beginning of the year are now all done."

Liu Bo nodded and smiled: "Speaking of which, it really is like a dream. Second brother is really like a god. He can accomplish anything."

Li Yun thought for a moment and said, "Send a letter to General Su through the Nine Departments and ask him to prepare the list of meritorious service. After returning to Jinling, I will be able to reward them according to their merits."

"Oh, by the way, send another letter to my second uncle and ask him to send some money and food to Jingzhou and Xiangzhou. I want to reward the troops."

Liu Bo nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, second brother, I will watch over it myself."

"Good job."

Li Yun patted his shoulder and laughed, "After the New Year, my second brother will find you a wife."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Liu Bo smiled and did not respond. Instead, he said, "I heard that Hu Zi found a wife in the south, but he is now following Shou Hou and fighting with Lingnan. I am afraid he will not be able to come back for the New Year this year."

Li Yun was startled when he heard this, and then he said softly: "I really don't know about this."

"It doesn't matter whether we get together during the Chinese New Year or not. I will offer sacrifices to the heavens at Zhongshan Mountain in the spring after the Chinese New Year. At that time, all the brothers will come back to witness this great event together."

Liu Bo sat next to Li Yun, toasted Li Yun with a glass of wine, and said half-jokingly: "So, from now on, when I see you again, can I not call you Second Brother?"

Li Yun frowned and was about to glare at him, but Liu Bo quickly lowered his head, raised his glass again, and said with a smile: "I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing."

"Come on, second brother, I'll toast you another glass."

Li Yunduan raised his wine glass, the two men clinked their glasses together, and each drank the whole glass.

After finishing the glass of wine, he patted Liu Bo on the shoulder and said solemnly: "No matter what situation our brothers are in, in my heart, it is the same as before on Cangshan Mountain!"

Liu Bo nodded silently and said softly: "I remember it."

He looked at Li Yun and whispered, "After next year, no matter if it's the people in our old village or those in the former anti-theft team, there will definitely be people who will become arrogant and do whatever they want because of my second brother's title of king. My second brother will definitely not tolerate them."

"By the time…"

Liu Bo took a deep breath and said, "It's not easy for me to manage the affairs of the anti-theft team. If the people in the old village have done anything wrong, second brother, can I ask them first..."

"I'll teach them a lesson first, on behalf of my second brother."

"If they don't listen to me, I will enforce the law on them."

Li Yun thought about it seriously, then whispered, "It's okay at this stage."

"If we really establish a country in the future, there will be no such saying."

"it is good."

Liu Bo said slowly: "Then let me be the bad guy and punish them first."

Li Yun smiled and said, "Bad guys, let Uncle San do it."

Liu Bo shook his head: "Uncle San was born in the military and has been doing military inspections in the past two years. If he were to take charge of this matter, I'm afraid it would be no different from the king's law."

"I'll do it."

Liu Bo stood up and bowed to Li Yun, saying, "I am alone, and I am not afraid of anyone blaming me or punishing me."

Li Yun sighed: "Among us brothers, you are the one who likes to think about things the most."

Liu Bo smiled and said, "Brother, there is still a lot to do. I won't stay here for long. When I am done and Shouhou Huzi and the others come back, I will come and have a drink with you."

"it is good."

Li Yun waved his hand: "You go."

Liu Bo turned and left. Li Yun watched his back as he left. After thinking for a while, he also stood up and left Qianyuan and went to the public housing where Du Qian and others lived in the new city.

This is Jiangdong’s government hall.

After entering the public housing, there were only Du Qian and Yao Zhong, and seven or eight other young people who were selected to help.

Everyone bowed their heads and saluted Li Yun.

Li Yun did not hesitate to sit in the main seat, then looked at Du Qian and said straight to the point,

"Brother Du, I want to give some of the farmland in the five states of Jingxiang to..."

"Distribute it to the soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in the battle."
