I just like the Prime Minister

Li Chengzuo had no expectations for the peace talks.

It was also the case in the first place, the world that Dayu Chao had acquired on horseback, and the descendants he raised were not gentle and kind Confucianists, and those who had some signs of gentleness and kindness were probably all in the bleak state of "now the grave is three feet long", entering Those who go to the ancestral graves have a good end, not to mention that there are many bones buried in barren tombs, which have long been annihilated into the dust of the past that cannot be traced back.

As for those who survived, not to mention, even the first emperors of a generation of Mingjun were criticized as "military". Spin around like a top, and you will never listen to your begging for mercy while running away.

It can be seen from this that although Li Chengzuo appears to be a foolish monarch with no formality, his internal composition is in the same line as their Li clan. Therefore, when he heard that the Khitan people wanted peace talks, his first reaction was to make these stupid roe deer feel cool Where to stay.

The war is what you want to start, and the peace talks are what you want to make peace with. You can come and go whenever you want to come and go as if you want to come to Dayu Country like a market at the entrance of a village. Li Chengzuo thinks that although the stupid roe deer of Khitan are ugly, they are not good at brains. But what they thought was really beautiful.

However, before Li Chengzuo was empowered to express his opinion with the domineering spirit of the king, Chao Wenwu took a step ahead of him very efficiently, and divided into two factions mighty and mightily. "There was a lot of quarrel about this matter. Every other incense stick, two representatives with the most temperament would be sent, crying and shouting to bump into the pillars, using death as a lesson to show that they are completely loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Worrying about the country, they all felt that they were Dayu's last loyal minister and general.

When Li Chengzuo was depressed, Bai picked up such a huge excitement, and turned his face away from the Khitan group of silly roe deer who were daydreaming and making tricks, and watched the excitement with all their faces. He watched the officials quarreling for a while, and was watching with enthusiasm, but in the midst of the hustle and bustle, he met a pair of indifferent and indifferent eyes for no reason, and his whole body froze.

The man was slender and thin, with a kind of bleakness after illness, shrouded in indifference of not being in the world of mortals, as if he was about to turn around and leave at any time.

Jiang Xizhu complained of illness for a few days, and finally endured the harassment of Li Chengzuo who didn't see him but who was full of tricks. He simply stopped asking for leave and stood up to court.But he didn't expect that as soon as he went to court, he would encounter the Ministry of War to report, and was forced to watch the flying farce.

He stays out of the matter, has long made judgments but disdains to quarrel with others, but in the chaos, he unexpectedly finds that someone also has a pair of interested eyes, watching from the sidelines very uncomfortably.

This person is of course Li Chengzuo.

If it was before, seeing his appearance of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Jiang Xizhu's calmness was full of worry and helplessness, fearing that if he was inattentive, he would be entangled by courtiers with ulterior motives, and that if he was inattentive, he would not be able to sit still. Stabilizing the throne will cost one's life.

It's just that Prime Minister Jiang finally broke through Li Chengzuo's long-hidden true face not long ago. Now when he saw this expression again, his mood was completely different-he thought uncontrollably, how many times in the past years, did Li Chengzuo That's it, I have long looked at the fiery ministers with contempt, and openly regarded other people as fools.

The most ironic thing is that I am afraid that I am also a member of this magnificent army of fools, what a pity.

Li Chengzuo was thinking about Jiang Xizhu's meeting today, so he sat obediently in this hall according to the hour, but Jiang Xizhu didn't look directly at him.He stared at him helplessly for a long time, but did not receive the slightest response. In addition to being frustrated, his entangled emotions were as complicated as the roots of an old tree. News of the Khitan peace talks distracted attention.

Before, he was busy thinking about the Khitan people and watching the courtiers' jokes, but he accidentally revealed his true colors. At this moment, he suddenly met Jiang Xizhu's eyes, and the fox tail that was exposed happily could not be taken back for a while.

Seeing that Jiang Xizhu's originally indifferent expression became a little quieter in silence, Li Chengzuo's face became a little stiff, and his smile was not stern, let alone his handsome face, which was so handsome that it would bring disaster to the country and the people. The Frost named "Bitterness and Hatred".

The civil and military officials below were arguing loudly, and they lost a bit of demeanor compared to the street hooligans fighting. They rolled their arms and sleeves, blowing their beards and staring at each other with great joy. After arguing for a long time, only a few of them became excited. He had the courage to take a peek at the sky, but he was stunned when he saw it. The other officials didn't know why, so they turned their heads to look at it, and they were also dumbfounded. His Majesty's master, his face doesn't seem quite right now.

Li Chengzuo's usual aura is not coercive. Baiguan has never seen this kind of posture before. Today, he saw it suddenly. Before the fresh air had time to show a playful little sign, he was poured with a basin of ice water in front of him. They were so cowardly that they couldn't help but shut up one after another, shrinking their heads like quails in the freezing cold, shivering and falling silent.

For a while, the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

Li Chengzuo didn't show his face because of these unscrupulous officials, but he received unexpected excellent results. He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to adapt to the situation and brewed a prelude to "Longyan's fury", as if he was very restrained Pressing Diaolong's imperial case carefully, he said in a deep voice, "Has the quarrel come to fruition?"

No one dared to speak up.

Li Chengzuo hummed with a smirk, called his name and said, "Where are Mr. Lin Ge and Marquis of Fengcheng? Tell me!"

The two people who called the roll came out in response, and the one on the left was Jiang Xizhu's uncle Fengchenghou.

Born as a Marquis of Fengcheng, he also went to the battlefield when he was young, and he has a martial temperament. Now that he is old, his body is still tough, and he is dressed in a military officer's first-grade uniform, which is very official...just a little fat.

Xu Shi just got angry from the quarrel. At this moment, Song Zhen looked completely different from the obedient courtier when he ran into Li Chengzuo at the banquet of the Jiang Mansion. He stepped forward in a rough voice, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Khitan wolf is ambitious and invaded our borders for no reason. It is shameless to ask for peace when I was restrained by Dayu! Your main force will fight to the end! No peace talks! To show the prestige of our country!"

Li Chengzuo actually meant the same thing in his heart, but he didn't say a word after listening to it. He smiled coldly and pretended to be mysterious. After a long while, as if he couldn't make up his mind, he adjusted his appearance that could be called amiable, and turned his gaze to the other person whose name was called just now. Body: "Old Lin Ge, what's your opinion?"

Lin Ge's old Lin Lifu is an old man who seems to have reached the age of ears. He is a Jinshi of the Gengchen Division in the second year of the first emperor. Regardless of the direct descendants of the branch, I am afraid that Feng Shui will come to look up to him in turn.

The Lin family has such a capable minister, and there is Lin Concubine who is favored in the palace. He used to have power in the court. Now, although there is a Marquis of Fengcheng to check and balance him, he still has the ability to speak freely on major affairs in the court. It can be seen that this The roots are not usually deep.

That's right, Lin Lifu is Concubine Lin's father, the grandfather of King Qi who is now enshrined in Ludi.

The sea area before the storm is always calm, and the people whose hearts are full of turbulent waves and turbulent waves will always have a kind and peaceful face. Dressed in court clothes, he doesn't look like a court elder among the three princes from a distance, but more like a scholar who has read poetry and books. He was questioned by Li Chengzuo's "honest and virtuous corporal", and he respectfully worshiped the emperor first and then played Confrontation: "Your Majesty's humerus, my Dayu should also have the prestige of an orthodox great country, and the Khitan barbarians invaded me without any reason. The prestige of the country is important, if your majesty intends to go to war, I will not dare to obstruct the march. However, my great Yu has already suffered from the chaos of the Northwest by the first emperor, and suffered the disaster of unprovoked wars again. It is also a fact that the treasury is not rich. Why are the generals and soldiers of Yu suffering, and why are the people on the border innocent? I still look to Your Majesty, think twice before acting."

After all, it is the old fox who has seen it before, and he can say such a long series of generous statements with reason and evidence for a simple sentence of "the minister disagrees", and he also flatters and expresses his loyalty. When he arrived, his attitude of serving the country and the people was just right. Compared with him, Feng Chenghou, who talked like a firecracker, still seemed a little less tactful.

No wonder Song Zhen, Marquis of Fengcheng, had the late emperor's secret support behind him, so he could only be brother-in-law with Lin Lifu.Lin Lifu excels in tact and experience, while Song Zhen's advantage lies in imposing manner and age.

Li Chengzuo smiled inexplicably in this sincere statement, and did not express his position. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he reacted quickly and found a reason for himself to strike up a conversation.

"Prime Minister." He called, "Elder Lin Ge and Marquis Fengcheng are both right. What do you think of Ai Qing?"
