Zhu Xu stayed in Renshou Palace for a while, and it was Concubine Liu who recalled the past and looked back on the past.

It's strange to say that Li Chengliang is almost 100 years old until now, and he actually has a granddaughter of sixteen or seventeen years old.

Li Jieyu sat next to Concubine Liu, and was not nervous. He had questions and answers. His voice was not as delicate as the southern water town, but he exuded a sense of heroism.

Zhu Xu glanced at her hand quietly, as white as usual, and his handkerchief was like my gun. He looked up at Concubine Liu thoughtfully, muttering to himself, and turned to glance at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun nodded slightly and signaled that someone had been sent to investigate.

Concubine Liu was very excited today, and she held Zhu Xu's hand and said, "The Li family has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. You can't be careless about the understanding of the words, otherwise I won't forgive you."

Zhu Xu thrust his waist and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will take her to see you every day, and I will ensure that even a hair is indispensable!"

"That's good, that's good," said Concubine Liu, looking at Empress Dowager Zhang again and said, "I'm not energetic, Empress Dowager, you have to take care of me."

Empress Dowager Zhang quickly agreed with a smile, looking like she looked at her niece.

After a while, Concubine Liu was in poor spirits, so she asked Zhu Xu to lead Li Jieyu back to the palace.

Zhu Xu walked in front, Li Jieyu followed, and Cao Huachun was beside him.

Zhu Xu thought while walking. Concubine Liu was not a nosy person, but she was very wise and good at enduring. There must be something strange about this matter. She thought about it for a long time and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Jieyu.

Li Jieyu stopped and twisted his skirt and bowed slightly.

Zhu Xu looked at it carefully and nodded secretly. The little girl was not old and was indeed a little beauty. Unfortunately, she was still very young.

In Zhu Xu's eyes, Li Jieyu was always calm and calm, without any rush or slow down, without any embarrassment or anxiety.

He was puzzled in his heart and suddenly said, "What are you going to the palace for?"

Li Jieyu said, "The girl from the civilians lived in Tie/ling four years ago, fled into the pass last year and defected to her relatives."

Zhu Xu was about to speak, but not far away Liu Shimin led Qian Qianyi to jog over quickly.

Qian Qianyi was wearing Hanlin official uniform and was about to worship from afar, "My minister Qian Qianyi greeted him..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, and Liu Shimin took the memorial from him and handed it to Zhu Xu.

The writing and ink were not dry, and it was obvious that Qian Qianyi was writing in a hurry.

Zhu Xu opened and looked at it, and his eyebrows gradually raised, hundreds of words were sprinkled, all of which were classical Chinese, with a difficult and arduous teeth. Zhu Xu had a lot of effort to read and needed to think carefully.

Li Jieyu stood there, calmly and without any panic.

Zhu Xu looked at him, glanced at Li Jieyu, and continued to watch.

The matter is not complicated. In his later years, Li Chengliang was impeached by the censor in a series of arrangements in Liaodong, dismissed from office and returned to Beijing, and died of illness due to crimes. His sons were either defeated and committed suicide by life and death, but almost no good ended.

The only one who lives is his third son Li Ruzhen, who is now imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison because he did not guard his hometown Tie/ling well. He is now in prison for his death, but he has been rescued. In addition, Li's outstanding achievements, too many disciples and old officials, and the court has its own concerns, so he has been left until now.

The one who stayed in Tie/ling was the grandson of Li Chengliang's brother, Li Sizhong. After the defeat in Liaodong and Tie/ling fell, he surrendered to Nurhaci. However, the xenophobia of the Later Jin Dynasty was very serious, and everything was the slave clan family, especially the Li family fought too much with Nurhaci, and the grudges were mixed. Among them, the relationship with Amin, among the four major beneficiaries, was extremely stiff. He tried to kill the Li family several times but failed.

Zhu Xu looked at it slowly, thinking about the smell in his heart, squinted his eyes and said, "Li Sizhong, do you want to return to my Ming Dynasty?"

Li Jieyu bent down gently and said, "Military women don't know about military and national affairs."

It's indeed not a trivial matter.

Zhu Xu sighed in his heart, and then he realized something. Concubine Liu's purpose was probably more than that. The current major families in Liaodong have close ties with the Li family. With the Li family, he will be stronger in control of Liaodong.

Moreover, Qian Qianyi's memorial also describes that Li Chengliang has a great influence on military affairs in various coastal areas. Even now, if he is in trouble, it will be much easier to deal with it.

Zhu Xu's thoughts were crazy for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh, "He is old and energetic..."

He suddenly woke up again. The old concubine was not very respectful. He coughed and said to Liu Shimin: "Liu Shimin, you can arrange a place for Miss Li to live. Don't be too far from the imperial study room. If you have any place you want to go, send someone to take it, and there is no need to ask for an order."

Li Jieyu was surprised. Isn’t this the emperor she had heard of? She remained unchanged and said softly: “The girl thanked the emperor.”

Liu Shimin led Li Jieyu away, and Zhu Xu stood there without moving.

He thought too much about it. In history, many rebel generals in Liaodong, especially Zu Dashou and others, should have surrendered to the forefront of the Li family.

If the first one is another, there will be a second one, so the third one will be much easier.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, his heart was rotating, and he said to himself, "The Li family must make good use of it..."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu and whispered, stepped forward, and whispered, "Emperor, Miss Li's mother, comes from Qi's family."

Zhu Xu was stunned for a while, then let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized: "No wonder, the old concubine is so concerned."

Qi Jiguang has been guarding Jizhou for many years and has far surpassed Li Chengliang's prestige. Although the Qi family army has declined, its influence is still there. Compared with Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang has a greater influence on the southeast coast. Now many ethnic minorities in the south still worship the Qi family army and swear to die to loyalty.

If there were help from the Li family and Qi family to appease the opposition from the military reform in various places, it would be of great help.

"It seems that I have to take good care of this Miss Li." Zhu Xu muttered with his eyes shining.

Li Jieyu was arranged in the side palace of Jingyang Palace. She was quiet and came to Zhu Xu regularly to "please greet you" and chatted for a few simple words. Then she went to Cining Palace and Renshou Palace. She occasionally went to the Imperial Garden, but she would not collide with Zhu Xu.

With the arrival of Li Jieyu, Zhu Xu's attention was all shifted to Liaodong, and all information from various aspects also reported to him one after another.

The Li family's ancestral land was in Tie/ling. As Li Chengliang became rich, most of them moved out. In the battle of Tie/ling, most of the Li family died in battle. Li Sizhong gathered the remaining remnants of Tie/ling and surrendered to Nurhaci. Now he is a "Niu Luezhen", an official who is not big or small, and is not conspicuous in the Later Jin Dynasty.

However, the Li family had a certain influence with the local Han people in Liaodong, or those who were robbed.

"If the Li family can surrender, it would be a big deal. Maybe it is a hidden bone mino card..."

In the study, Zhu Xu was thinking while flipping through the information book.

"The descendants of the four old subordinates of Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Yu Dayou and Tan Lun have been found out."

Cao Huachun held a memorial in his hand and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu took it and looked around, while sighing in his heart that the old concubine is indeed an old man. On the surface, he has an army of nearly 300,000, but in fact, his foundation is unstable, especially in the local area, which is almost universally opposed.
