Luo Shixin, Pingyang has a special identity and cannot be left just by leaving, not to mention that Li Yi’s affairs need to be dealt with.

Pingyang took Li Yi's affairs on him, so Luo Shixin naturally did not care about it. Pingyang was not good at conspiracy, but after all, she was born in an imperial family. Not good at it does not mean that she did not understand or know nothing, but was unwilling to get involved. With her intelligence and talent, Li Yi could not escape the disaster.

Luo Shixin’s headache is how to ask for leave.

The Tang Dynasty was not the 21st century. In the 21st century, the family vacations, annual holidays, legal holidays, and weekends were much stronger than the ancient system of officials taking vacations. During the Tang Dynasty, holidays were only given during the festival, namely festivals such as the Spring Festival, Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and Xiayuan Festival. There were no holidays at other times.

However, the court is not a harsh place, and officials are allowed to take leave. The reasons for taking leave are varied. In addition to being unwell and having to take leave such as colds, they can also take leave because of family affairs and family members who die. This is a bit similar to the current reason for taking leave 1,500 years later.

The difference is that the ancient system of leave taking had strict regulations. Generally, officials can only take three days off a month, and those who exceed three days will be fined for salary. Of course, if they are seriously ill, there will be thirty days and a 100-day period. However, if the deadline exceeds the deadline and there is no extension instructions from the superior department, they will be dismissed, and the official position will be replaced by others and severely punished.

The most important thing is that the request for leave in this era requires approval from superiors, especially for officials like Luo Shixin who have status and status who want to ask for leave, they must personally submit a memorial to the emperor to explain the reason for the leave and wait for the monarch to make a decision. If the monarch does not approve, then the monarch is not allowed to leave. If he does not obey, it is a crime.

Luo Shixin took more than ten days off because Zheng Liwan disappeared, just because he was not feeling well.

Li Yuan agreed to the approval, but still deducted Luo Shixin's salary as usual. However, Luo Shixin has achieved brilliant results in recent years. He received rewards of gold, silver, wealth, etc., which is a hundred times more than his salary, and he doesn't care much about the deducted salary.

The most troublesome thing is here. Li Yuan is the emperor. If Luo Shixin makes excuses for asking for leave, it would be like deceiving the king. Let those who are interested know. A stab in the back is unaware of it. To be honest, it is not easy to deal with. The hero violates the ban with martial arts. As the emperor, Li Yuan obviously will not have a good impression of the people in the martial arts world who do not abide by the king's laws and do not do anything about birth. To be honest, it is like an assassin killer. If you want to save Pei Qingyi, it may be possible that Li Yuan will punish Pei Qingyi for arbitrary killing.

As a heroine in the world, Pei Qingyi is at will and is always willing to kill and never shows mercy to those scum in the world. This kind of practice is extremely unpromoted in the bureaucratic system.

"Head, headache!"

Luo Shixin left the princess's mansion and came to his doorstep. He was about to knock on the door and enter, but he heard someone calling from a distance.

"General, General!"

Luo Shixin turned his head, but saw Li Shimin who had not seen for a long time and a man with a simple and burly appearance, and was slightly surprised. Li Shimin had outstanding military achievements, no one could reach, and had a high status. He was almost comparable to the prince. In this Tang Dynasty, there were only a few people who could walk side by side with him, most of whom he knew, but he had never seen this person today.

Luo Shixin stepped forward a few steps and bowed and said hello: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Li Shimin dismounted and returned the gift. He pointed to the burly man beside him and said, "Come on, General, let me introduce you to you. This is Li Fuwei, the prince of the Prince of Wu of the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Fuwei?" Luo Shixin didn't react at once, a little confused.

Li Fuwei smiled and said, "I'm here, my name is Du, and thanks to His Majesty's kindness, I'll give the surname Li."

Luo Shixin suddenly realized that he was Du Fuwei.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, all heroes in the world emerged, but if they were talking about grassroots heroes, they were the first to refer to Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei. The two were one in the south and one in the north, but their actions were different. Dou Jiande made a promise to keep his promises, take righteousness first, and put the people first. Even if he defeated Li Shimin, he was still a well-known hero. Du Fuwei was almost the same. He promoted his righteousness to the Sui Dynasty at the age of sixteen. Although his ambition was not high and he only wanted to protect one side in troubled times, he was also eager to be righteous. In the world, Du Fuwei was the lowest-ranking one. Because he was deeply suffering from taxes, he only charged very low taxes on the territory. He hated corrupt officials and specially ordered that all officials who embezzled were executed regardless of the severity. Therefore, the Jianghuai under Du Fuwei was a rare place to worry about food and clothing in troubled times.

"It turns out to be the King of Wu! I have long admired the name of Daming!" Luo Shixin bowed and said, "Researching the name of Daming for a long time" was a polite word in others, but Luo Shixin said the most real praise. Ordinary people would never use the four words "Researching the name of Daming for a long time" if they were not attracted to him.

Du Fuwei returned the salute and said, "The name of the general is well-known. Even if he is in Jianghuai, he has heard of the general's heroic deeds many times. He has been in Jing for many months and has not been able to meet him. He was really sorry. He wanted to post a post to visit, but there was another regret in the general's mansion, so he had to give up. These days, he couldn't help but stop after passing by the general's mansion. Today, he met by chance and couldn't stand the heart of making friends. He rashly asked His Highness the King of Qin to introduce him. I hope he would not be surprised. If he did not abandon him, he would go to our mansion to have a drink."

Luo Shixin wanted to refuse, but after looking at Li Shimin, he had a certain plan in his mind and responded.

Du Fuwei was overjoyed. Although he was the fourth-ranked figure in the Tang Dynasty, he did not have any arrogance, but was very kind and enthusiastic.

The enthusiasm made Luo Shixin feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Shimin smiled calmly and did not care at all.

People are different. Du Fuwei is generous and good at martial arts, but he likes to make friends with rough people, especially Luo Shixin, who values ​​love and righteousness, brave and fearlessness, has the most appetite for him. In these days in Chang'an, as the fourth new figure in the court, he only symbolically accompanied Pei Ji, General Xiao, Yuwen and these literati. At other times, most people ignored their status and dating and drinking with people like Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche. Because of this, as an important member of the Prince Taibao East Palace, he was very close to Li Shimin. He was a little disgusted with the gentle Li Jiancheng. In the face of his win-win, he only responded politely.

Du Fuwei's Wu Prince's Mansion and Luo Shixin, Pingyang are on the same street, facing the Princess Mansion next to Pingyang.

Luo Shixin did not ride a horse, so the three of them simply walked into the mansion.

Luo Shixin noticed Du Fuwei's temperament, and he also liked to deal with people with this temperament the most. Then he temporarily gave up everything and accepted the King of Wu of the Tang Dynasty who was interested in the appetite.

In Pingyang's mansion, Luo Shixin drank tea and vegetarian food, and his mouth faded out of his birds. Du Fuwei would never be like Pingyang, with good wine and good dishes, one after another.

The greedy Luo Shi was drooling and kept toasting Li Shimin and Du Fuwei, drinking so happily.

Li Shimin was originally from a military family and refused everyone. Du Fuwei was even more interested in drinking, and he praised Luo Shixin as being very refreshed and willing.

After three rounds of drinking, Du Fuwei whispered loudly, "I am also a number one figure in Jianghuai, and I rarely have an opponent when it comes to martial arts. But when I came to Chang'an, I was defeated by Shubao, Jingde and King Qi, and lost to him in a convincing way. I knew that I was not a match for the general, but I also wanted to ask the general for advice and let him see him."

Luo Shixin drank happily, but he didn't refuse. He put down the wine cup, wiped the oil stains from his hands from the rag handed by the maid, and walked to the hall.

Du Fuwei even took it himself, rubbed his hands on his body and then walked down.

A strong wind hits!

Du Fuwei lifted his leg and kicked it.

Luo Shixin slapped his palm gently, blocking this move, and said, "Is this considered underestimating me?"

Although Du Fuwei heard that Luo Shixin's martial arts were extraordinary, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart when he looked at his weak and tentative appearance. After a test, he realized that he was not good at appearance and shouted: "This time I'm here!" A more violent kick, with a whip that broke through the air, whipping towards Luo Shixin like a whip. The unstoppable momentum was enough to open the monument and crack the stone.

Luo Shixin broke his feet with his palm and fought hard, and his palms and calves had an intimate contact.

Du Fuwei failed to succeed in one move, and kicked out the second, third and fourth kicks in a row.

One kick passed by the other, like three arrows shot one after another.

Facing several "arrow feathers" flying through the air, Luo Shixin made a move to attack, and each palm accurately blocked Du Fuwei's flying legs, blocking all his attacks.

Without any fancy or skill, it is faster and stronger.

Du Fuwei kicked six times in a row, stepped back, and laughed: "It's true that it's not the same level. I can't kick anymore, so I'm convinced. The King of Qi can still fight. The general is like Shubao and Jingde. He beat me too much. If he really fights, he doesn't even have room to fight back."

Du Fuwei was not upset when he lost the competition. He still voluntarily persuaded him to eat and drink, which was very refreshing.

After eating and drinking, Li Shimin seemed to have something to do, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Luo Shixin also said goodbye when he saw this, but Du Fuwei did not force him and made an appointment to meet again next time.

Luo Shixin and Li Shimin left the Wu Palace together.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with the general?"

Luo Shixin was not surprised and nodded, "There is indeed something. I hope your highness will help you come up with an idea. I have something important to go to Jiangnan. It is related to my friend's life. It is very urgent and I must not go there. I don't know how to ask Your Majesty for leave here."

He did not explain who it was, and Li Shimin was also tactful and did not ask in detail. He pondered for a moment and said, "This is really a coincidence. The pharmacist was ill in bed some time ago, and it seemed quite serious. He was a teacher for life. He taught you military skills carefully. He is now in good health and is now serving as an apprentice. The father is busy with everything, and he doesn't need to make decisions on such trivial matters. You write a memorial and send it to Chengqian Palace. I don't want to approve this filial piety."

Luo Shixin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your advice."

In ancient times, filial piety was always emphasized, and filial piety was the basis for everything. Whenever parents were seriously ill, they had to serve as sons, otherwise they would be unfilial. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there are basically no such leave that has been ignored when parents get sick and their parents die.
