As night fell, a carriage drove slowly on the busy street.
Daqi's commercial trade has far surpassed the previous generation, especially the emergence of various entertainment venues, making the eastern and western cities often brightly lit at night.
Li's Mansion, in a place like Pengcheng where every inch of land is expensive, is a different kind.Especially compared with the magnificent mansion next to it, it is a bit inappropriate to describe it as shabby.
Not to mention other places, even the vermilion paint on the gate has peeled off a lot.
People often say that the gate represents the face of a family.But obviously, the owner doesn't care about this.
"Dong dong dong!" The attendant stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
Not long after, hurried footsteps came from inside.
"Who?"
As soon as the voice fell, the door opened a crack.
"Master Rong Binggui's mansion, my lord wants to leave the mansion!" Saying this, the attendant took out a token and handed it to the other party.
The old man in the house instinctively went to pick it up, but his hands froze in mid-air.
Although this token is only an ordinary wooden sign with ordinary materials and no carvings.But the big brocade character above already represented the identity of the other party.
Jin Yiwei, the most difficult group of people in Daqi.
Ever since Cao Anmin ascended the throne, the vast majority of the Shadow Guards directly transformed into Jin Yiwei.
After several years of development, today's Jinyiwei spies have penetrated into every corner of the world.Because of their existence, after several years, Qi people have a simple and honest style, and officials dare not have any corruption.
Now, they knock on the door at night, could it be...
"My lords, please... come in, I will inform the Patriarch immediately."
The door was open, and the Jin Yiwei did not rush in, but stood quietly at the door.
A middle-aged man stepped down from the carriage.
"Shi Xin, you also stay outside the door."
"Yes!"
Inside Li's house, Li Ji, who was eating, suddenly had to pass on the message, and Jin Yiwei was taken aback when he suddenly entered the house.
I have been an official for several years, so I can't say that I have no personal affair, but there is absolutely no corruption or perversion of the law.
Although he was not afraid of these Jin Yiwei, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Before he could walk out of the house, a person walked in from the door.
"It smells so good. Although the decoration of Mao Gong's house is not good, the food is really good!"
When Li Ji saw who was coming, his face changed drastically, and he quickly prepared to kowtow to salute.
"Okay, there are no rulers or ministers here, only friends. Confucius said, it's not unreasonable to have friends from afar. I hope you will forgive me for interrupting me rashly!"
Li Ji heard the words and said quickly: "Your Majesty came to the humble house late at night, and the humble house is full of luxuriant plants, how can there be any talk of begging for mercy."
Cao Anmin was not polite either, he went to the table casually, and the servant next to him quickly handed over a new set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Sister-in-law, don't stand there either. Look, I just came on a whim and made you cautious. Don't make fun of me. I came here in a hurry, and I didn't have time to eat. I happened to stop by your place for a meal."
The monarch and his ministers chatted and laughed, and wiped out the food in front of them.
As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Cao Anmin must have important matters to discuss when he comes here at night.
Li Ji invited Cao Anmin to enter the study, and abandoned the servants around him, and then asked: "Your Majesty came here at night, it must be for the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
Cao Anmin didn't make a sound, but looked around Li Ji's study, and said calmly: "I have visited many ministers' homes, but only in your study, I haven't seen a single book."
Li Ji replied with a smile: "I have a photographic memory since I was a child. This book is just a form on the outside. Only when it is hidden in the brain can it become a real ability."
Cao Anmin nodded.
"Did you just say the Southern Tang envoy?"
Li Ji nodded and said: "The Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty separated one side, sitting on the land of three states, and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This is really a serious problem for my confidants. After several years of rest for my Daqi, the Central Plains have now recovered. I feel that right now, I, Da Qi, should send out an army to cross the Yangtze River to dominate the world!"
Cao Anmin smiled, pondered for a moment and said: "The Southern Tang Dynasty is indeed a serious problem for us, but sir, don't forget that there is Qin and Han to the west of us. If we send a large army to attack the Southern Tang, then Qin and Han will definitely attack. On the contrary, it is also the same. in this way."
Li Ji was originally the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Although he entered the cabinet now, he did not directly take charge of the military.
But he is still familiar with the Quartet military.
"The Qin and Han Dynasties were just plagued by scabies, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The Southern Tang Dynasty is our biggest enemy. I heard that Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is a once-in-a-century talent, and has gathered many capable ministers and generals The envoy Changsun Wuji who came from the Southern Tang Dynasty this time is one of his subordinates, and their strategy will definitely make a difference. They may go west to Sichuan and Shu, or go north to Nanyang, and even cross the Yangtze River to attack our Yuzhou and Xuzhou. On the other hand, Liu Bei, the ruler of the Han Dynasty, although he was also a hero in the present age, was already in his twilight years. Especially in recent days, it was rumored that Liu Yu, the eldest son of Liu Bei, had a heart of disobedience, and Qin and Han fell into a battle for the throne. Tongguan, Qin and Han can easily be taken down."
When Cao Anmin heard this, the smile on his face grew stronger.
In the past few years, although the Qi State has not made too many conquests, Cao Anmin has left behind Li Tang in the south and Liu Han in the west.
On the one hand, Meng Gong and Li Cunxiao were ordered to cooperate, and whenever Liu Yu led troops to attack, they would retreat quickly.If Han is commanded by other generals, he will attack with all his strength.
Over time, Song King Liu Yu became the savior of Qin and Han, the most invincible general in the dynasty.
If it is in the Cao family, with Liu Yu's ability, whether it is Cao Anmin or the deceased Cao Cao will pass on the position of successor to him.
But Liu Yu was born under Liu Bei, who had an extremely strict patriarchal system.
Liu Beiming knew that little Liu Chan was inferior to Liu Yu in talent, but he couldn't abolish the system of patriarchal succession.In particular, Guan Yu and other veterans strongly supported Liu Chan's ascension to the throne, which led to more intense conflicts between Liu Yu and Liu Bei.
However, Liu Yu is extremely critical in fighting against the Qi army.He is indispensable by Liu Bei's side, so in desperation, he can only let it go.
If Liu Bei still has time to build momentum for Liu Chan, Liu Han's country can still be stable.
But now Liu Bei has half of his body buried in the ground, and there is not much time left for him.
The big pit had already been buried, even if he knew what the result would be, he could only grit his teeth and accept the result.
As for Li Tang in the south, Cao Anmin really didn't do much about "Heavenly Khan" Li Shimin.However, two huge time bombs were planted for Li Tang.
One is Qin Hui and the other is Cai Jing.These two are important "talents" summoned by the system for Cao Anmin.
Staying by their side can make it difficult for them to do what they do best.After thinking about it, Cao Anmin retreated them into Li Tang's court hall.Let them become Li Yuan's cronies, slowly corrupting the government.
"Mr. is right. I have benefited a lot today. It's getting late, and I won't continue to beg for mercy here anymore! Go back to the palace first!"
