1. The future that will change(1/2)
Guanzhong Chang'an is a thousand-year-old ancient city. Although the scenery here has not changed, since the beginning of last year, the city has been shrouded in a terrifying and slaughtering place.
The Tiance Army is recruiting troops.
This was not in line with the laws of the Southern Kingdom. As a military town in the northwest of the Southern Kingdom, large-scale recruitment required approval from the court, but the old man Li Shouguo chose the best time.
The first batch of recruits happened to be when Zhao Lian was invading Yanjing. The Qilu border army, which had been tempered for many years in Weihou, was the only force on this land that could pose a threat to the Tiance Army.
When they went to fight Yanjing, Lao Li would naturally have no scruples.
After cleaning the Tiance Army from top to bottom, in the second month, he recruited 7,000 people to train as a vanguard army. This was just a test, and the development of things later became somewhat unexpected.
Seeing that the southern country continued to decline, the Tiance Army's actions became even greater.
The second batch of recruitment was just completed two months ago. This time, more than 20,000 people were recruited. In addition, the Tiance Army already has military strength, this world-class strong army expanded to nearly 100,000 within one year.
Old Li held his troops in the dramatic changes in the world, just like a national player playing chess, and then came first. When Lin'an City was broken and the southern country was destroyed, the elite soldiers of Tiance who had been recuperating for more than 20 years finally came out of the mountain.
Old Li has always wanted to restore the Great Chu, welcome back to the era of peace and prosperity in the country and unification of the world. He has only one last step left before his desires, gazes and goals.
Unfortunately, General Li Shouguo fell ill at this time.
The condition is not serious.
However, the elderly often suffer from insomnia and insufficient qi and blood, but for a general who gallops on the battlefield, such diseases have accumulated so far that it is difficult to get sick.
When Qingqing and Yaoguangwei came to Guanzhong with dust from Luoyang, Li Shouguo had already reached the point where he had to rest in bed.
"I have invited the descendant of the Medicine King to come to Chang'an from Miaojiang, and may arrive in a few days."
In the mansion of General Tiance in Chang'an City, Qingqing comforted Li Dingguo who had rushed back from Chen Cang:
"You don't have to worry about the general. He just delayed his minor illness for too long. It's not a serious illness that is critical. He can take medicine to take care of himself. In a few years, he may be able to turn danger into safety."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Dingguo was adopted by Li Shouguo since he was a child. After careful training, he also developed a temper exactly like General Li Shouguo when he was middle-aged.
Loyal, and always serious in daily life.
After hearing Qingqing's words, he immediately stood up to thank him.
The general of the Tiance Army fell ill, and then the military affairs would naturally be managed by Li Dingguo. Like his third brother, Li Dingguo had already been loyal to Qingqing when Qingqing came to Guanzhong last time.
Under the influence of Li Shouguo, this family is now loyal minister of the Great Chu. Besides, the old man is just sick and not confused. In this case, no one dares to have a strange intention.
Besides, the situation in the world is now destroyed, and those who are qualified to compete for the world are only Qingqing Da Chu and the people of the northern country. Could it be that the Tiance army still have to go to the northern country?
"Brother Li, every time you are so serious, it makes me feel a little embarrassed."
Qingqing sat on the chair, blinking her big eyes and said to Li Dingguo:
"I still don't adapt. The elder thanked me like this. You didn't do this before. In private, you just need to treat me as a friend."
"Not so, your majesty."
Li Dingguo said to Qingqing seriously:
"In the past, Your Majesty was a little girl in Qingqing, but now Your Majesty is not. Since you have established the identity of a princess, you must inherit the great throne of the world in the future. The difference between the monarch and the subject is the principle of morality and ethics and should not be underestimated.
I know that Your Majesty is from a martial arts world and doesn't care about this, but if you don't want the incident of Zhao Hu to repeat that year, the emperor's majesty will be picked up now.
My father had specially advised me to find several ritual officials from the Dachu Palace who were still alive. These days, Your Majesty will be in Chang'an City and learn with them."
Qingqing's face collapsed, she said:
"Will I be called a widow from now on? I've tried it in Lin'an, it's really awkward."
“This is necessary.”
Li Dingguo looked at Qingqing, who was only four or five years older than his daughter, and said earnestly:
"Your Majesty must be like the emperor if you hold the world and call him the emperor."
"But if I really own the world and are respected by all the people, then what does I call myself? It doesn't matter?"
Qingqing joked like a joke:
"Senior brother always says that it doesn't matter how you call yourself. What's important is what others call me. If I call myself "me", would it be that in Brother Li's eyes, I am not the daughter of the King of Chu?"
"This is sophistry, Your Majesty."
Li Dingguo sighed and said:
"If you really feel that the name is not important in your heart, then what is the difference between calling yourself alone and calling yourself me? After all, Your Majesty still has not adapted to this change in identity."
"yes."
Qingqing supported her cheeks and looked inside. She whispered to Li Dingguo:
"My senior brother and I agreed that after the reconstruction of the Great Chu, we will form a cabinet and manage all parts of the world for me. I will be a hand-off manager, so that the whole country and the people will be safe.
This time, in addition to visiting the disease, we also need to inform the general, so that he can cultivate his health and prepare to become the prime minister of the Great Chu. In the future, your Li family will be the number one in the Great Chu country.
There is also the Tiance Army, who also needs to be the personal guard of the emperor, and to expedition all directions to pacify the world.
This battle is a lot of military merits and so on."
"Ah this"
Li Dingguo was shocked when he heard this. This was theoretically considered a wish to be granted an official position.
But Qingqing said it so lightly. She was surprised and felt a little more stable in her heart.
Although he was like his father and was willing to serve Da Chu, he was not as pure as his father's faith and had to consider it for his family's generals. It was a foregone conclusion that the Tiance Army wanted to assist Da Chu.
However, the lieutenant general and the captain also have a desire for fame and fortune. Now, Qingqing said this, even if he made a promise, he could calm down the central thinking of the army.
He glanced at Qingqing.
The latter still looked as lazy and jumpy as a girl, but being able to say this at this time means that Qingqing is really not stupid. She seems to be indifferent in her little head, but she knows everything.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it was her "famous brother" who deliberately taught her to say this.
"Brother, my father is awake."
Li Weiguo, who was a little sissy without a mask, walked out of the inner room in a long gown. He saluted Qingqing and said:
"Father asked His Majesty to come in, and there was something to say to His Majesty."
Qingqing stood up, strode into the house, took two steps, remembered something again, and turned around and said to Li Dingguo:
"Brother Li, I have a friend who comes with me. He wants to go to Chang'an prison to pick up an elder and ask Brother Li to do it for convenience."
"Yang Beihan?"
Li Dingguo asked, Qingqing nodded and said:
"It's okay, that old man is useless. Let him out, he's very pitiful."
"Abide by His Majesty's will."
Deputy General Tiance turned around and left, Qingqing withdrew her gaze and placed it on Li Weiguo, who was leading the way. She blinked and said:
"Second brother of the Li family, you should wear a mask. You look so pretty, just like a girl's house."
This is a joke.
Li Weiguo also laughed. His face had been criticized by too many people, and he had long hair. At first glance, he looked like a heroic woman.
He himself knew that this appearance lacked majesty, and when he went to battle, he always wore a green-faced and fanged mask.
"You are here."
When I entered the inner room, I smelled a herbal smell.
On the bed, the white-haired Li Shouguo was leaning against the bed, putting down a bowl of half-drink medicine in his hand, smiling, waved to Qingqing, and signaling her to sit by the bed.
This old man is usually cheerful and respected by his generals. He is almost entirely personal charm. In the past twenty years, he has suppressed the Tiance Army from causing civil strife.
I was sick at this time and my face was more haggard, which made the smile on my face look more kind.
Qingqing also has a good impression of this lonely minister who is loyal to the Great Chu. In addition, because his master was also from the Tiance Army, he regarded Li Shouguo as a reliable elder in his heart.
She sat next to the general and said the previous story again.
Li Shouguo touched his beard and asked:
"Is Shen Qiu asking you to say this to me?"
"Not it."
Qingqing picked up the soup for the general, and fed him spoon by spoon, saying:
"Senior Brother told me this earlier. I thought about these days myself and felt that what my senior brother said was reasonable. When our Great Chu was still there, we had to form a cabinet and serve as prime minister for more than 300 years.
Before, most of the monarchs were also hand-off managers.
But the fact that the Great Chu has not fallen for three hundred years means that our method is useful. Since it is useful, there is no need to change it. In the future, General, you should be the prime minister and let Old Man Zhao enter the cabinet, and use other officials to choose some reliable and capable ones.
I am younger and need the assistance of loyal ministers and good generals.”
"But in this way, Your Majesty is not worried. Will my Li family and his Zhao family be too big?"
