But sometimes too good a thing can also be bad.
Those civil servants can use any means.
The Duke's military exploits were excessive and he was suspected of outdoing his master. Every time the emperor allocated military pay, the civil servants had to consider it again and again.
You can give less, but you can never give more food.
He said that this would boost Liang Jing'an's arrogance and make him disloyal, all for the sake of His Majesty's long-term interests.
Many scholars in the capital also followed the trend and criticized him, saying that the Duke of Guo was "extremely militaristic, killing people like hemp, and spending money like sand."
Unkind, murderous, and a waste of food from the treasury.
Yes, it would be great if they could study in the capital and not be stained with blood.
After all, even if six cities in the Western Region were captured in a row, they would still be far away from the capital, and there would be no threat to the peace talks between the two countries.
After all, there is a murderous Liang Jing'an guarding the southern border.
After all, in the past ten years, the Zhou Kingdom has had good weather and occasional droughts and floods. What does it have to do with the prosperous capital?
They are blessed by their family and only read the books of sages. Of course they are happy.
Texue doesn't want the Duke's mansion to be slandered, nor does he want the Duke who fights on the battlefield to be framed.
She often thought that it would be better if the Duke of the country was not so loyal to the king and left more options for herself...
But she refused to listen. There were some things that she couldn't say and couldn't say.
But now someone might be able to persuade you.
After the disaster at home, she had never suffered any injustice in the years since she was transferred to the Duke's Mansion, and her food and clothing expenses were the same as those of a young lady.
She no longer has a home, and the Duke's Mansion is her home. Nothing can happen again.
A soldier dies for his confidant. As long as the Duke's palace remains strong, what's the point of paying his own life?
—
Lin Xi asked people to move things into the house.
Then she walked up the steps and looked at her unknown uncle.
Liang Jing'an was dressed in plain clothes. He was not wearing battle armor, but his aura was not reduced at all.
He is as tall and tall as a pine tree, with bronze skin, a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and a few strands of white hair in his hair.
But it did not lose its majesty, but became more cold and solemn.
From his still handsome and profound face, you can imagine his high-spirited, frivolous and wanton days when he was a successful young man.
His eyes were like cold stars, he was someone who was killed by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Just standing there will make people's breathing slow down and make them want to retreat three feet for no reason.
Liang Jing'an looked at the girl in front of him at the same time.
He doesn't know how to get along with little girls.
Not counting Ta Xue, the child Ta Xue has a calm temper, which is different from others.
For this reason, he specially consulted with generals who had daughters at home for advice on how to please young girls.
I bought hairpins and bracelets early and planned to give them as meeting gifts.
Later, news came from Shan Wu that Lin Xi was slightly different from ordinary girls and had the demeanor of his youth.
His swordsmanship is quite exquisite, and he can draw the sword very fast, but it's hard to tell where he learned from it.
His skills are not inferior to his own. Shan Wu was not an ordinary person. When Liang Jing'an was surprised, he took out the sword that he had kept in his library for a long time.
Plan to give it away at that time.
Liang Jing'an looked up and down three times.
She is obviously a dignified lady, and she should be considered a leader even among the girls from aristocratic families in the capital.
No wonder His Majesty wants to grant a marriage.
He always felt that this precious niece was not as good as Texue said.
"You are Lin Xi."
"Uncle is back. I've been looking forward to it, and I finally met him today." Lin Xi was not at all shy, and his words were affectionate.
Although I have never met anyone before, I have already felt my feelings.
He gave a lot of money and a lot of people.
Texue said at the right time: "The Duke of Guo also brought a gift to the eldest lady. It was packed in a beautiful box. It is said to be a sword. He said that he would wait for the lady to come back and open it himself."
"Really? Then I'm going to take a look. I happen to be short of a sword." She hugged Liang Jing'an's forearm and said, "Uncle, would you like to accompany me to take a look?"
Liang Jing'an was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "Now I have to go to the palace to meet the saint, why don't you go and see it yourself? Let me know if you like it when you come back."
"I often miss my uncle. I just met him now. Is he going to leave?" Lin Xi couldn't help but grabbed his arm and walked towards the palace. "Your Majesty is accompanied by many people in the palace. It's very lively there. Uncle Just stay with me."
Liang Jing'an tried to pull out his hand, but the little girl was very strong, so he couldn't pull it out for a while...
Hearing what she said, my heart softened and I couldn't refuse anymore.
Forget it, wait until the companion has finished reading the sword before going to meet the saint.
There were many people standing in the yard.
He Chirang had been hoping that when the Duke of Guo returned, he would assume the role of an elder and restrain Maomao.
Now he is here too.
The two parties had just met and had a brief chat. They both had a good impression of each other.
The former appreciates the latter's calmness and magnanimity, and the latter appreciates the former's loyalty and patriotism.
And because we have the same person in mind, we naturally get closer.
One of them is like a father, and the other is an uncle. Even though the age difference is more than ten years, we feel like old friends at first sight.
Although He Chirang agreed with the British public, he disagreed with him on raising children.
Why didn't he care about giving Maomao a sword?
This is too ridiculous. This is not encouraging her to do something...
Lin Xi opened the long and narrow sandalwood box and took out the sword inside.
It was a snow-white sword, about three feet six inches long, light but extremely sharp.
There is also a lotus carved on the hilt, which is exquisite and special.
You can tell it's a good sword at a glance.
She weighed it in her hand and found that the weight was just right, just right for someone like her who wielded a sharp sword.
There is no more desirable gift than this!
Lin Xi said happily: "Thank you, uncle, I like it very much! This will be my sword from now on, and I will call it Zhixing Sword."
Liang Jing'an said lovingly: "This is a good name. Knowing what you do and what you do is a gentleman."
He Chirang was quite critical at first, but now his heart is moved.
Maomao still remembers his original name.
Also, no matter what, she is the sister she has loved and cherished since she was a child.
Lin Xi put the sword away, closed the box, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, have you eaten? I didn't eat anything in the palace today, and I'm hungry right now. Why don't you and I go get some food?"
Lin Yan: "Yes, uncle, my sister and I really stole the show today!"
Taxue: "..."
If your sister is capable, does that mean you are all capable?
But my second young master, are you trying to make a big show of yourself right now?
Liang Jing'an originally planned to go to the palace to report on his duties, but he didn't feel relieved after hearing what Lin Yan said.
... Then it is better to go early tomorrow morning, it will only delay one night.
Otherwise, as soon as he entered the palace, the emperor would drag him to talk, and he would not know when he would be able to return home.
I saw that the brother and sister had left the Duke behind, and the three of them went to have dinner together.
Texue breathed a sigh of relief.
That's how it should be, why put the emperor's words first.
Every time he returned to the capital, the Duke would drag his tired body to meet the saint in a hurry without even eating.
Let the emperor wait patiently this time.
He Chirang excused himself and said that he had already eaten and did not follow, so that his uncle and nephew could talk about themselves.
He sighed: "My lord...is this too indulgent of Maomao? Won't there be no one to restrain her in the future?"
It's been like this since they first met. As long as Maomao is willing, he can coax even a monkey to get off the tree.
Will this happen again? After all, it is not good to spoil your children too much.
Texue thought for a while and made a suggestion with expectation: "Miss, four copybooks a day is too few. Why not change it to twenty? Only in this way can we see progress."
He Chirang shook his head: "That won't work. Maomao will be unhappy. It's better to take your time and don't rush."
Taxue: "..."
She knew it would be like this.
Young Master, you dote on your sister and you still have the nerve to accuse others?
Texue felt disappointed, bowed and went back to deal with matters at home.
The Duke of Guo has returned to Beijing and has been very busy lately.
She was making some arrangements for the stewards, and she was more cautious than usual during this period.
Not long after, her capable maid Chunmei came in to report.
Another official family member sent a message, asking the eldest lady to go to the hairpin conference the day after tomorrow.
