...

Li Shun has been very idle recently and has been idle for a long time.

Since the floods in the east of Qi last year, Li Shun took the reporter from the newspaper to the disaster area for an interview. After that, he went around the southeastern counties for a long time, and watched the customs and customs of the southeastern areas like a mountain and water. Then he wrote a lot of news articles sent back through postmen who conveyed documents from various places, many of which were published in the Daqin Metropolitan Daily.

Nowadays, Li Shun's reputation is almost at its peak in the literary world. No matter which county you go to, as long as the nameplate and identity of the reporter of the Daqin Metropolis Daily is revealed, local officials and merchants will provide him with delicious food and drinks as if they are respected by guests, and they will also visit the kilns for free and sleep in different women of the southeastern counties.

Success and fame at a young age are the portrayal of Li Shun today.

Because he is only twenty years old now, but after the battle in Hebei, he has been awarded the title of Xia Qing. He is completely an idol in the eyes of young scholars. He is very famous in Xianyang and among the people of Daqin, and he has made many friends.

The dilapidated small courtyard, which was only two or three acres, has now become a luxury courtyard. When he returned from the Northwest Dasheng, the emperor rewarded him with a luxury house of more than ten acres. In addition to having a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan in newspaper offices, the court also had a salary of 800 stone a year. Although he had no official position, his treatment was not bad at all. He lived a luxurious life of a chariot, horse and slaves.

At the end of last year, after playing in Southeast for half a year, Li Gui finally thought about his wife's son and mother going home. He usually had nothing to do except go to the newspaper office to review and edit some military news. Because in the past year, there was no major war worthy of his presence except Lingnan. A group of reporters and peripheral reporters wrote all the manuscripts. He felt that he was almost rusted.

So he married two more concubines and was happy at home every day.

After the court dispersed, Chen Xu asked the groom to drive straight to Li Shun's mansion.

Chen Xu suddenly wanted to recommend Li Shun as the envoy this time, because all the civil and military officials in the court did not want to make such a contribution, but for Li Shun, a newly rising celebrity, it was his best opportunity to advance. As long as he returned successfully, the emperor would definitely give him a lack of official position, and according to his current title, the official position was at least fifth rank or above.

For young and promising young people like Li Shun who are young and promising, Chen Xu is willing to give another move.

Moreover, the Western Regions will be of great use in the future. The Dianke Administration will be upgraded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future, which is very important for Chen Xu's continued reform. The most important thing is that Li Shun is his direct member, and Chen Xu is unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

Li Shun was hugging two concubines at home and was having fun on the warm kang. Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door made him very upset.

"What's the matter?" Li Shun lay impatiently on the concubine and shouted.

"Master, come out to greet me, the marquis is here!" The butler's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"Master? Which Marquis... holds the grass..." Li Shun was stunned for a moment and woke up instantly. He pulled out his gun and jumped off the hot kang and ordered, "Hurry up, get up and help me change my clothes!"

The two concubines who were stripped off quickly came down to help him dress. After a while, Li Shun tidied up her hair and clothes, panting and pushed out the door, ran to the front yard.

"Marty, you...why are you here today?"

Chen Xu was baking fire in the living room by the stove to keep warm. Li Shun's wife Xiaoyun was serving tea with red eyes beside her. Several servants were standing at the door with fear and dared not speak. Seeing Li Shun running in disheveledly, Chen Xu frowned and glared at Li Shun.

"What? Now that you have achieved success and fame, you have started to enjoy your happiness every day?"

"Li Shun dared not!" Li Shun was so scared that he trembled and saluted quickly, then stood carefully in front of Chen Xu, like a primary school student who did something wrong, and did not dare to look up.

"Sit!" Chen Xu pointed to the chair, took a sip of tea slowly and said coldly: "Now I am already a good minister, you must behave properly. If you don't go to the newspaper office in broad daylight, you will be at home all day long. What about your real man's ambition?"

Li Shunru sat on the chair with her butt falling on her chair. Although it was still cold spring, sweat beads as big as beans on her forehead rolled downwards.

Xiaoyun blushed and didn't dare to look up at Chen Xu, she walked to Li Shun and whispered: "Husband, what the marquis said, you should put official duties first!"

"Yes, my wife taught me a lesson, tomorrow... no, I will go to the newspaper office to attend the office later!" Li Shun nodded repeatedly with her sleeves to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Xiaoyun, you go down first, I have something to say with Li Shun!" Chen Xu put down the teacup.

"Yes, Marquis, Xiaoyun takes her leave!" Li Shun's wife Fushen saluted and took several servants away, and closed the door of the room.

Only Chen Xu and Li Shun were left in the room in a blink of an eye.

"Mr. Marquis, why did you suddenly come to visit today?" Li Shun calmed down and asked with a bow.

"Well, I see that you are doing nothing every day now, and you can't find any serious things to do except the Japanese lady, so I asked the emperor for an errand for you!" Chen Xu said slowly.

Uh! Li Shun secretly glanced at Chen Xu, and the sweat beads that had just been wiped from his forehead began to roll down again.

Through Chen Xu's words and tone, Li Shun instantly felt a bad feeling.

"Hao...Hao, what is the errand?"

"What an errand!" Chen Xu said lightly.

The sweat beads on Li Shun's forehead fell off faster.

"Mr. Marquis, please tell me!"

"Yueshi detained the Xiongnu crown prince Maodun. The emperor wanted to force Yueshi to hand over Maodun, so he wanted to arrange an envoy to send an envoy to the emperor. The civil and military officials of the court enthusiastically went there. However, this lord recommended you, and the emperor also praised you very much for participating in the raid on Hebei. He thought you were brave and resourceful and righteous, so he agreed immediately. There may be an order to be sent to your mansion later. I will go to court tomorrow and listen to the seal. The time is hard to find. As long as you do this, your Majesty will naturally give you no rewards. Maybe he will make up for a real official position..."

"Mr. Marquis, I don't have much interest in being an official. Now I have a generous salary in the newspaper office. What's the point of being a mere small official? What's more, the subordinates of Yuezhi don't know anything about it, and what should I do if I'm afraid of losing my job?" Li Shun said worriedly.

"Are you sure you are just a small official?" Chen Xu rolled his eyes slightly, "You are now a nobleman. Once you are at least a fifth rank, as long as the task is completed well, you may be in a fourth rank..."

"Really?" Li Shun's eyes lit up in an instant.

"Can I just talk nonsense? The fourth rank has entered the ranks of high-ranking officials. If it is a wealthy family without status, how can it be your turn? This marquis has made a decision to find this opportunity for you. Whether to do it or not depends on your ability. Now that I am a strong Qin army and a powerful horse, the power of conquering the Xiongnu Donghu, Yuezhi will definitely not dare to be disrespectful to you. Moreover, there are also the translation of the Dianke Office and the soldiers accompanying you to protect it. This is safe. As long as you bring Morton back, you will complete the task. By the way, you will find out the situation inside the Yuezhi..."

“Master…”

The butler rushed in from outside the door again.

"Why are you so panicked?" Li Shun wanted to kick the butler out of the door.

"Master, a messenger came to pass the emperor's order!" The butler said angrily.

"Call your family out to welcome you!" Li Shun had no time to go to the backyard to change his clothes. With Xiaoyun's help, he quickly sorted out his clothes and hair before going out.

Sure enough, a commissar and several imperial guards came outside the door. After both sides saluted each other, the commissar unfolded a book of edicts and sent it to Li Shun and left.

"Husband, you... are you going to go far again?" Xiaoyun's face turned pale after hearing this.

"Madam, don't worry, this is a chance for promotion that the marquis has won for me in the court. As long as the mission to return from Yuezhi, the marquis said that I can be a fifth or even fourth rank official. At that time, you will become an official wife, and your status is incomparable to the present. Our Xiaoju can also become an official in the future. Our Li family will be a family of officials in the future, and enjoy wealth and honor for generations!"

"These are all obtained by my husband's hard work, I... I'm very happy!" Xiaoyun cried with joy.

"It's true that it's hard work, but only the legitimate son can inherit our property and status. Therefore, having a little foal alone is not enough. We have to have a few more sons. Let's go out, it's cold, let's go to the room to discuss this matter!" Li Shun hugged Xiaoyun and walked towards the backyard.

Just now, he was in high spirits when he was having sex on the hot kang. Unexpectedly, when Chen Xu came, Li Shun almost withered a little. At this time, he got such an opportunity to get promoted and make money in a flash, and Li Shun became excited again.

Soon the room discussed the sound of ummy ah ah ah. Two concubines holding their clothes stood at the door and heard it clearly, but they didn't dare to go in and disturb them.

"Well~ Yes~, husband, you... didn't you agree to the Marquis to go to the newspaper office to attend the job...?"
