Emperor Yan Ping only saw the superficial results, but did not pay attention to the fact that Li Wei's opponent was Zhao Yu, the king of Zhao, who was as famous as the King of Jin. Moreover, the leader of the Suyun Kingdom, Zhao Hen, was not as mediocre as Emperor Yan Ping. Zhao Yu had great potential. autonomy. On the other hand, Li Wei, this Tiger Ben army was his brother Li Jun's personal army. Because of Li Jun's relationship, he was very respectful to him, but he didn't feel like he could use his fingers like an arm. Moreover, the Shenwu Army led by Zhao Yu could not leave the city, leaving him unable to make a move. The stalemate in the battle was foreseeable. Even if Li Jun comes, it won't be a casualty.
The Southern Conquest Army led by He Ze was even more difficult. This Southern Conquest Army was far inferior to Li Jun's Huben Army and Yang Zhuming's Northern Conquest Army. Nanjun was rich and wealthy, and many of the generals in the Southern Army were sons of governors, distant relatives of ministers, and so on. They could not be killed, used, or dismissed. But He Ze is not an ordinary person after all, and he is cruel and vicious beyond words. He attacked the Chu army several times, forcing the Chu army to abandon Hengjiang and Sanjiang counties and instead compete with the Nanjun army in Nanjun. There will naturally be casualties in this war. When these generals found that there were fewer and fewer acquaintances around them, they suddenly realized something. When they looked at He Ze, they lost their original arrogance and were very cooperative.
In July of the 22nd year of Yanping, Li Ying, who was more than nine months old, could not only crawl and sit, but even learned to stand without any teacher, although he could only walk a few steps briefly. , but Wei Haohao was still pleasantly surprised.
Seeing Li Jun coming in from outside the palace, Li Ying stood up with his short legs and took two steps to welcome his father. When Li Jun was happy, he picked up the little guy, but his son was merciless. Kick and hit, he wants to go down and play. Li Jun had no choice but to put his son down again and let him play by himself.
"What is that in your hand?" Wei Haohao noticed that what he held in his hand seemed to be an imperial edict?
Sure enough, Li Han said: "This is the imperial edict. Father has given us permission to return to Beijing."
Emperor Yan Ping, who persisted for more than seven months, finally gave up reluctantly. , because it is meaningless to let Li Han stay in the southwest at this time. It is better to transfer him to Jinyang to deal with Zhao Yu, which can still be of some use.
"It will be almost September after we return to Beijing, and Xing'er will also be one year old."
Wei Haohao suddenly realized that it had been so long, and their child It's already so big.
"Wow~~" A burst of crying interrupted Wei Haohao's thoughts. She looked back and saw Li Ying covering her eyes with her little hands and crying sadly.
"Why is he crying?"
Wei Haohao picked up Li Ying. The little guy was crying so hard that he was out of breath and felt extremely wronged. Wei Haohao glared at Li Hao and said angrily: "Are you bullying your son again?"
Li Hao laughed so hard that he took out a peeled apple from the plate and handed it to Li Xing. The little guy looked at Li Hao At one glance, he seemed to have forgiven him. While sobbing, he took it and stuffed it into his mouth. He bit it with his baby teeth. He slowly stopped crying and started laughing.
Li HanHe sighed: "It's so coaxing."
Wei Haohao rolled his eyes at him and couldn't figure out why this person was so childish.
Before leaving, Xiao Benping invited Li Han's family to the prefect's mansion. However, because Xiao Benping did not have a wife and was afraid of embarrassment, and Wei Haohao did not like this kind of official entertainment, Li Han went alone. Attend a banquet.
Li Jun didn’t know much about Xiao Benping. The two met in the capital because of Dong Shaoyan's incident. Li Han felt that this man's courage to collect the corpse of a prisoner was regarded as a sign of great love and righteousness, so he made a favor and gave him a little donkey. The little donkey is still being treated well. The land is raised in the prefect's mansion. On the way to Yujun, he also heard a lot about Xiao Benping and felt that this man was indeed far-sighted and far-sighted. Under his governance, Yu Jun was not harmed either when his father-in-law Cheng Yuan gained power or when Li Yixian rebelled, which shows that he was a capable and capable minister. When Wei Haohao was held hostage by Zhang Yuanwei, it was Xiao Benping who helped him make plans to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. But at the same time, he also heard some other anecdotes about Xiao Benping. What was criticized was that he had bowed down to visit Cheng Yuan and did not cooperate with soldiers from other states to quell Li Yixian when Yu Jun was still able. Zhiluan seems to be a very contradictory person.
After three drinks, Li Junping withdrew his servants, and Xiao Benping knew that Li Junping had something to say to him.
"What does Mr. Xiao think of the current situation?"
"Although we have King Zhao in the east occupying Zhengping, and Chu in the south confronting Nanjun, the official thinks this is just a The temporary dilemma, as long as His Majesty activates the prince, these crises will be solved."

Li Jun nodded, with no emotion or anger on his face, and asked: "Master Xiao seems to hate the Buddha Sect very much? Among the counties in the southwest, Master Xiao is the only one who has eradicated the sect's poison the most thoroughly. , even a little overkill, I don’t know why?”
Xiao Benping was not confused at all and answered methodically: “The prince also knows that Xiaguan’s friend died in the Futu Cult’s frame-up. , I made the prince angry, so I apologize to the prince here."
Li Han took a sip of the wine in his glass and said slowly: "You and I both know the person who really killed Mr. Dong. Who is this? This Buddha Sect is just a pretext."
Xiao Benping pretended to be confused and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
"Father, what are you doing? Gang is arbitrary and self-willed. In order to suppress and balance this king, he deliberately supports the Futu Sect and the Cheng family. Speaking of which, this king must bear some responsibility."
"My lord, you are serious."
Li Han changed the subject and said: "In the past, Mr. Xiao refused to save Qianzhou, was it also because of dissatisfaction?"
"If you have something to say, you may as well speak out."
"In this case, I will speak frankly. Some of Mr. Xiao's actions have madeI feel quite uneasy. I am worried that Mr. Xiao will put his personal grudges above the common people and do something irreversible. "
"The prince wants to remove Xiao? "
Li Jun said bluntly: "That is indeed the intention. "
The seriousness in Li Jun's eyes made Xiao Benping have no doubt about the authenticity of this matter. This made Xiao Benping very nervous. He pretended to be calm and asked: "Li Yixian rebelled, and the prince still granted him the title of Governor of Qianzhou. In his official position, Xiao helped the prince to quell the chaos, but the prince wanted to remove Xiao. If word spread, it would be detrimental to the prince's reputation. ”
“If I cherish my reputation, would I still be sent here?” "
After being speechless for a long time, Xiao Benping came to his senses and said: "If the prince wants to remove Xiao, just issue an order without wasting any words. If the prince has any teachings, please tell me clearly. "
Li Han personally filled the wine glass for Xiao Benping and said: "I know that Mr. Dong's matter is that our Li family can't tolerate you. To be honest, I don't know if there will be any more in the future. The same thing happens, but you have to seek your own government in your position. The position of governor is a public office. The people need someone to help them live a better life, not a tool for you to use for revenge. This dynasty still has internal and external troubles and constant wars. These will take time to heal. I hope Mr. Xiao will give the court some more time. Things will eventually be solved. Don't think of solving everything through war. War cannot solve it. Any problem will only bring endless suffering to the people. We people, who live in high places, have fine clothes and fine food, and receive generous salaries, still despise the common people. Do you think it is a shame or not? "
Xiao Benping bowed deeply and said seriously: "I have learned a lesson from you. "
"I just hope that Mr. Xiao can think more about the people when he wears this official uniform. Mr. Dong knows well and would not want to see you become what you are now. "
Xiao Benping was speechless. Dong Shaoyan was a very pedantic official who loved the people, but in the end the people who sent him to hell were the people he risked everything to protect. Xiao Benping was naturally filled with hatred. He couldn't figure it out. , also felt disappointed, secretly wanting to indulge himself, hoping that someone could light a fire to burn this hypocritical and dirty world, and only then could his unwillingness be healed by watching thousands of creatures struggling in the flames of war. Unexpectedly, his thoughts were pointed out by Li Han. He was caught off guard and didn't even think about how to tactfully smooth the matter. But it was no longer necessary now. At least Li Han still controlled the northwest for one day, so he couldn't. Do anything extraordinary, otherwise as Li Han said, he may directly remove Xiao Benping from the post of governor.
