Chapter 72 Take Care
At night, the three Li brothers had a late-night conversation in Li Yuanhui's courtyard. In addition to planning Li Erlang's position, they also gave Li Si some advice.

Some of the knights-errant, heroes and even fugitives accepted in these years were wanted by the imperial court.

Li Er told Li Si all this in order to let him find a way to send those with sensitive identities to Longyou.

Even Li Yuan found this matter difficult to handle. It would be easy for Li Yuan to take some people to Shuzhong, but to go to Longyou, he had to pass Xiaoguan, and the court had always been very strict in its inspections of Xiaoguan.

Li Si did not shirk his responsibility and took the matter over directly.

Before leaving the next day, Li Er specifically reminded Li Si not to forget about the horse.

This made Li Si speechless. It turned out that he didn't have to ask for help himself.

As soon as I got married, I started to worry about the dowry.
But it's his own fault that he agreed so quickly.

After traveling across most of Chang'an and returning to the princess's mansion, Murong Jiayin had just finished breakfast. Because Li Si was not at home, she got up late and was dressing up.

"I had a drink with a few brothers yesterday. It was getting late, so we didn't go back and forth."

Li Si stood behind her and watched her put on makeup, and first explained why he didn't come back.

Murong Jiayin said "hmm" without any expression on her face, and then continued to carefully paint the plum blossom between her eyebrows.

"that."

"Just tell me if you have something to ask." Seeing that Li Si was hesitant in his words, Murong Jiayin knew that he had something to ask.

So I kept a blank expression on purpose.

"It's my second brother, you know him, he likes archery."

"and then."

"I don't know who told him that we have several Arabian horses in our stable, and he wants a pony. You see, my second brother is not very close to me, but we are brothers from the same mother after all, so it's hard for me to refuse him. How about this?"

When saying this, Li Si deliberately paused. Murong Jiayin raised her eyebrows, but still had no expression.

"Why don't I just reject him and say that I have no say in the affairs of the mansion."

Murong Jiayin finally smiled when she heard this, "Alright, stop pretending, let your second brother come and pick the one he likes, and just take it away."

"Is this okay?"

Li Si was still thinking about saying something polite.

Murong Jiayin said, "Stop pretending. If you have anything else to say, tell me now."

"How do you know there's something else?"

"You can tell by the look on your face."

"You are really smart."

"Come on, talk about the matter."

"It's like this. Aye is not going to Bingzhou anymore, but to Yizhou. My second brother asked me to help him find a job. He felt that there was no place for him to use his military skills in Shu, so he wanted to serve in the Longyou Army. He also heard that Tuyuhun had repeatedly invaded the border of Great Yan, so he wanted to serve the country."

After hearing this, Murong Jiayin revealed a bit of embarrassment, and said angrily: "Silang, although I am a princess, the matter of a county governor is of great importance. Second brother has never been an official before, and has no special merit. This matter is a bit difficult to handle. Father will not decide state affairs at will just because he favors me."

"Ah? No, Jialuo, listen to me. What governor? I just want to give my second brother a position as a captain."

"Captain."

Murong Jiayin held her forehead with her hand upon hearing this, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She misunderstood. She thought Li Silang wanted to tell him something important. It was just a small position of captain. Was it necessary to be so serious?
I thought Li Erlang wanted to be a governor or a general, but he only wanted a captain? Can't the Li family do this? Duke Tang should have this kind of connections.

Li Silang seemed to see Murong Jiayin's doubts. "It's like this. Second brother didn't want Aye to know about this. He was afraid that Aye would not let him go to Longyou, so he had no choice but to find me. I also know that this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

Murong Jiayin shook her head and said, "Silang, you and I are already husband and wife, so there is no need to be so formal with each other in the future. Since Second Brother is your elder brother and has abilities, you can help him plan things if he wants to achieve success. You don't need to be so cautious. It's just a captain's position. You are not allowed to be formal with me in the future."

Li Silang smiled awkwardly. Being distant? When the emperor changes from your father to my father, I will definitely not be distant with you. He felt a little guilty towards his wife, because last night the three brothers were planning how to steal the girls from Dayan.

I always feel a little despicable doing this. Sleeping with someone's daughter and trying to steal their business.

But there are some things that we have to do.

And Murong Jiayin would never have thought about the impact that arranging a captain position for her husband's brother would have on the empire of their Murong family.

Although she was smart, she was not smart enough to see Li Er's destructive power. What kind of storm could a captain stir up?

As a result, two hours later, people from the Ministry of War delivered the certificate, certificate, seal and official robe of the Longxi County Zhenrong Duwei to Li's house.

While Li Er was admiring the fourth brother's efficiency, he was also punished by his father and brother.

Li Family Ancestral Hall.

Li Er knelt on the mat with a pale face. Li Yuan angrily scolded him in front of him, "Why do you want to take the initiative? You have to ask Si Lang to use the relationship of His Highness Jinyang for such a small matter. You don't know the importance of things. Don't think that our Li family is now a royal family and you can act recklessly. Put away your thoughts."

Dalang and Sanlang stood behind Li Yuan, silent and solemn.

Li Yuan cursed harshly and his anger subsided a little. He still agreed with Erlang's plan of making moves in advance. He was angry because he acted on his own initiative without telling anyone.

Li Er knelt there without making any excuses. To him, he had already expected the current situation.

If you do this behind Aye's back, you will definitely be scolded.

After scolding Li Er, Li Yuan actually wanted to scold Lao Si as well.

But it is not easy for the fourth brother to go back to Li’s house now. He can’t find anyone when he wants to teach him a lesson.

I can only give up.

After venting his anger, Li Yuan asked Li Er to stand up. Li Er stood up and stood next to the two brothers.

Li Yuan looked at his three sons and sighed, "Remember, no matter what you do in the future, you must think twice before you act. Don't act on your own. Okay, go down."

"Yes, Aye. I'll take my leave now."

After the three brothers responded, they retreated together.

After his sons left, Li Yuan lit a stick of incense for his ancestors and then kowtowed respectfully.

"When a tiger gives birth to three sons, one of them is bound to be a tiger cub. Today, the Li family has four outstanding men, all of whom are talented. But I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. I hope the ancestors will protect me."

Two days later, Li Yuan took his third son Li Xuanqing to Yizhou. His second son Li Mingqi was going to Longxi so he could go with them for a while. His eldest son Li Xiaoyan and fourth son Li Yuanhui both went out of the city to see them off.

After walking for several miles, Li Xiaoyan and Li Yuanhui dismounted and bowed to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Li Xuanqing whispered to Li Yuanhui. "Silang, do you remember the question I asked you when the Saint first granted you the marriage?"

Li Yuanhui thought about it and nodded: "I remember. Third brother, you asked me the other day if I knew about the marriage between Dayan and the aristocratic families when they came to rule the Central Plains."

Li Xuanqing smiled and said, "Do you know now?"

Li Yuanhui nodded solemnly when he heard this.

Li Xuanqing also restrained his expression and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much, just follow your heart and do what you want. Take care."

Then he climbed onto the horse.

"Third brother, take care."

After Li Yuanhui finished speaking, he looked at Li Er who was riding a horse not far away and said, "Second brother, take care."

Li Er waved his hand on the horse very casually with a proud smile on his face, then he clenched his fists and hammered his chest a few times.

"Shiro, take care."
