Chapter 0956(2/2)

The most important thing is that Jingzhou was the place where the four wars took place. The Wei Kingdom came and the Shu Kingdom came, and the Shu Kingdom defeated the Wu Kingdom. After you finish singing, I will appear on the stage and take turns taking charge of Jingzhou.

 The top talents of the Xi family have basically served as officials in the Three Kingdoms in these years.

 On the contrary, there are people like Xi Zhu who, although talented, cannot compare with those world-famous scholars.

For example, Xiang Lang of Shu, Chen Lin of Wei, Zhang Hong of Wu, etc., which one is not top-notch in knowledge?

   Since he is not good at both civil and military affairs, he cannot become famous in the world just by relying on knowledge and theory.

 So in this troubled world, it does not have a suitable position.

 Even his lineage gradually fell behind those of his compatriots who served as officials in the Three Kingdoms.

  Small families want to be promoted to big families, and big families want to maintain their status.

 There are two most direct ways.

 One is to introduce outstanding enough talents to serve as spokespersons.

 One is marriage, a strong alliance.

 As for Xi Zhu, it is a mixture of the two: he uses marriage to attract talents.

It’s just that in the years since Xi Yingxi’s marriage, her children have been able to boil water and cook, while Li Heng is still a farmer.

 Have you agreed that you can be promoted to the rank of Shangshu Lang?

 So when she saw Yang Di, she naturally got angry.

However, after all, she was born in a noble family, and although she didn't like Yang Di, she was still polite.

But I saw that she cooked the food herself, and cleaned the hall, leaving her Alang and Yang Di to talk freely.

By the time the sun turned west and was about to set on the mountaintop, Yang Di refused Li Heng's repeated attempts to stay, got on an ox cart and drove back to the city.

 Li Heng, who was slightly tipsy, returned to the inner room and saw Xi Yingxi sitting in front of the couch with a calm face. He immediately woke up from the drunkenness and quickly said with a smile:

"I was having a great time chatting with Mr. Yang. I drank too much and forgot to take a bath. Don't be surprised, Mr. Yang."

As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and went out.

"Come back." Xi Yingxi stopped him and said with a slight frown, "I have just finished drinking wine, why should I take a bath immediately? Drink this sobering soup first and take a breather."

          Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Xi.

Li Heng hurriedly walked over, took the sobering soup handed over by Xi Yingxi, and drank it all in one breath.

Xi Yingxi married Li Heng as a daughter of an aristocratic family, who is still a commoner today. Although Xi Yingxi has a good family tradition and follows her husband when she marries, she does not say that she looks down on Li Heng or anything like that. She even gave birth to two sons for him.

 But there was a huge gap in life experience, and Li Heng always felt a sense of awe and guilt towards his young gentleman.

At this time, he drank some wine, and coupled with the news brought by Yang Di, he finally couldn't help but show off to his wife:

“Do you know what good news Mr. Yang brought me when he came this time?”

Seeing the proud expression on his Alang's face, Xi Yingxi smiled calmly and said jokingly:

“You can’t recommend Alang to be the minister, right?”

Unexpectedly, when Li Heng heard this, his eyes widened immediately:

“Xijun was eavesdropping outside the door?”

 Seeing Li Heng’s expression, Xi Yingxi was also stunned:

 “Then Yang Di…did you really recommend Alang?”

The couple looked at each other for a long time. Xi Yingxi was the first to react. She frowned:

"This is not right. If Yang Di really wanted to recommend Alang, why didn't he recommend him when evaluating Alang? Why did he wait until now to come suddenly?"

When Li Heng heard this, he immediately coughed and whispered:

“Yang Jun does have something he wants me to do.”

When Xi Yingxi heard this, his eyes were stern: "Is there danger?"

Li Heng was stunned again: "How did Mr. Xi guess it?"

Xi Yingxi sneered:

"How can there be any good things in this world that are free? After all, Yang Di is also the prince's guest. He is not accompanying the prince in the East Palace, but he comes all the way from Jianye. Or does he come to the door with generous gifts just to see you, a mere commoner?"

Hand in, it’s really good and worth installing. It’s even supported by Android and Apple phones!

“Let alone recommending you as a minister, how many connections does this cost? Do you know?”

 What was the cause of the "Ji Yan Case" back then?

 Isn’t it just that Ji Yan couldn’t stand the fact that all the ministers and officials were controlled by the sons of rich families and powerful people, so he wanted to clean up the civil service and started to inspect the officials?

  Why can my own Alang be on an equal footing with those children of rich and powerful families?

 Why are the children of those wealthy and powerful families willing to squeeze out a position and give it to Alang?

What I said is true, but it hurts people too much.

Li Heng was speechless and speechless.

 But Xi Yingxi still had no intention of letting him go and stared at him closely:

“Tell me, what exactly does Yang Di want you to do?”

Li Heng whispered:

"There is a treacherous villain Lu Yi in the court, who framed Zhongliang. Lord Yang wants to recommend me as a doctor and asks me to speak out about Lu Yi's crime in front of your majesty."

When Xi Yingxi heard this, he suddenly shouted: "Lu Yi?!"

 Some time ago, Diao Jia, the governor of Jiangxia, was imprisoned and almost died. I heard that it was Lu Yi who did it?

Wuchang is the administrative center of Jiangxia County. This matter has been widely spread in Wuchang for a long time. How could Xi Yingxi not know about it?

 But Xi Yingxi gritted his teeth and said:

"Although Lu Yi is a small official, he has great power and is highly valued by His Majesty. Even a high-ranking general can do nothing to him. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Li Heng smiled bitterly and said:

"Yang Jun has already made it clear to me about Lu Yi's power, how could I not know about it?"

 I saw him looking at Xi Yingxi with a look of determination on his face:

“But Mr. Xi, there are endless wars in the world today. Although I have had a few years of peace and quiet over the past few years, who knows when I will be drafted into the army again?”

"Is the danger of going into battle less dangerous than this?" Li Heng said this, holding Xi Yingxi's hand, "Since I am my husband, how can I let you endure hardship with me for the rest of your life?"

“Xijun first married into my Li family, and his delicate palms are now full of calluses! Even if I don’t do it for myself, I will work hard for my wife.”

Xi Yingxi was stunned after hearing this.

 After what Alang said, she lost her usual vigor and even felt a little hot flash in her eyes. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip:

“So, Alang’s mind has been made up?”

 “Exactly.”

 Xi Yingxi took a deep breath, raised his head again, and forced a smile:

 “Since Alang has decided to accept the position of doctor, he should listen to my concubine.”

 “Please tell me the details.”

 Only Xi Yingxi said slowly:

"After Alang goes to Jianye, he must first go to see the prince, and then directly explain Lu Yi's crime in front of your majesty."

Li Heng was stunned: "Why?"

“The prince has always loved people and loved good deeds. Now that Alang is going to face Lu Yi’s crime, it will be more dangerous than good. If the prince can protect him secretly, he can have more hope of survival.”

"Even...even if something really unfortunate happens, the prince will still think of the young son left behind by my concubine and Alang, and take care of him..."

 At this point, Xi Yingxi couldn't speak anymore. She covered her mouth tightly, and tears burst out like a spring.

A couple can be blessed overnight, let alone a couple who already has two children?

 Seeing his beautiful lady like this, Li Heng's heart ached and he couldn't help but hold her in his arms:
