I just like the Prime Minister

Li Chengzuo didn't know what his prime minister was planning at first, but after hearing what he said, he understood it almost immediately.

Jiang Xizhu was just discussing the conditions with Yeluzhen politely and sincerely, and the conditions he gave were quite generous, which almost touched Yelvzhen's heart.

Of course, Dayu’s troops were not sent out on the fly. Military expenditures, food and grass are the top priorities, not to mention that this is a special period-the emperor who is rich in the world is still poor, and he can’t wait to stab the people in the household department to death every day. Officials, make money by themselves.

Not to mention that Khitan has just completed peace talks with Dayu, and at this time they are going to take over Khitan's old nest with open fire. Li Chengzuo has no doubt that this group of Khitan silly roe deer with simple minds and well-developed limbs will also get up and fight with Dayu when they are dying, let alone the long-term Well, if Dayu took advantage of the fire to rob, Yeluzhen would be the first to refuse, but if things happen suddenly, if you find other reasons, it may not be necessarily the case.

Jiang Xizhu naturally understands that the imperial court is not a place for charity and friendship, and understands that there are no permanent enemies or allies between countries, only permanent interests. The politeness he and Yeluzhen said does not mean that he has no consideration in his heart.

These three conditions correspond to three planning points respectively. One is to promise great profits, the other is to keep a back hand while reciprocating and benefiting each other, and the third is to cut off some people's backs.

Jiang Xizhu's idea is very simple - Yeluzhen's idea is to return to Khitan to reincarnate, but he can't get it with his bare hands, so helping him send troops is the first priority; Infiltrating into Dayu by hiding his name is simply a ready-made handle. If Dayu uses this excuse to send troops to attack him in the name of escorting Yeluzhen back to the court, the chances of winning are great, and this is the second; Living in Fenghuangyin, keeping the border peaceful for 30 years, and finally stabilizing the border, this is the best way Jiang Xizhu came up with from a long-term perspective. After all, it was discovered that Wujin’s mine is on the Shanyin side where the two tribes border, so control it. It cut off the retreat of those who wanted to manipulate His Majesty the Emperor at will. This is called the third.

At the same time, he proposed such a method at this time, which can just solve the current predicament.

They were trapped in Ye City and their identities were exposed. Under such circumstances and in such a short period of time, they want to thoroughly investigate the matter of King Qi's private casting of siege artillery and private use of gunpowder. It is almost impossible to cut off King Qi's minions from now on. .

Taking risks is naturally the next strategy. The best defense is not to retreat but to attack. In such a situation, if something suddenly breaks the calm under the surface of Yecheng, King Qi will be caught off guard first, and he will be thrown into chaos. It is the best policy to prevent him from acting rashly in order to wait for reinforcements.

This mess needs to be found very skillfully, it can't be so small that King Qi can clean it up, nor can it be big enough to force King Qi to burn everything.

Yeluzhen is simply a ready-made reason.

"Your Majesty, please pass the letter back to the capital, and ask General Pei Shao to urgently send troops from Jinzhou to Yecheng immediately, and ask the shadow guards who stayed outside Yecheng to enter the city immediately without delay..." After he finished speaking, he let Li Chengzuo I went to pass the letter with a pen, and saw that Li Chengzuo seemed to have understood and had no objection, so he turned to Yeluzhen.

"Mr. Yelu." Jiang Xizhu smiled, but his usual gentle eyes were obviously not smiling. He said seriously, "If your proposal is meaningless, please cooperate with us and play a play."

King Qi pulled out his stronghold and returned to his residence, walking at a leisurely pace.

Sitting in the canopy, he was in a relaxed mood. Regarding the matters that had been arranged, he was anxious but not too anxious. After all, it was not easy for Li Chengzuo to throw himself into the trap. There is a second time.

When he arrived outside Yecheng, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable excitement. Yecheng was the place where he was trapped, and every word of poverty and every word of defense showed that he had complicated feelings about this place. But not, keep it because he has peace of mind and a home in the end.

If it is done, this place will no longer be a gorgeous cage.

King Qi looked at the city of Ye, where the city gate could already be seen in the distance, and suddenly seriously considered moving the capital. Even if he didn't move, it could be compared to Luoyang and Chang'an in the previous dynasty.

Thinking about it this way, the power of "sleepy" gradually dissipated in the summer wind, and finally An Ran's pride prevailed.

"Mr. Jingzhi." He lifted the curtain and called.

Hearing the sound, He Jingzhi quickly drove to the side of King Qi's chariot, and said in response: "My lord."

"We are stationed ten miles outside the city." King Qi said, "To avoid trouble later, we will wait here for Mr. Chen's news before entering the city."

He Jingzhi heard the sound and thought it was reasonable, knowing that King Qi was a person who was too thoughtful, he didn't say much, he just said "yes", ordered the car and horses to stop back and forth, and found a shelter under a tree, and asked the king of Qi to stay here Get out of the car and fix it.

King Qi’s travels have always been very ostentatious. The Tu Emperor has been the emperor for a long time, and he enjoyed the scene of shouting farewell to the mountains, but this time King Qi did not think about it, and did not notify the officials of the mansion in advance, because Yecheng There were other considerations, and the "Eight King Kongs" were not notified in advance that they would all come out of the city to meet them, so it was difficult to see the tranquility of Bingdingjing Street.

There is a village under the official road tens of feet away from where he repaired. I don’t know who’s family is having a wedding. Far away from the village head, followed by ordinary people in plain clothes, chatting and laughing, followed the sedan chair to congratulate, the village women with red flowers on their heads and the dark-faced peasants laughed wrinkledly.

It was rare for King Qi to be in a relaxed mood, so he beckoned to He Jingzhi who was beside him.

"Go and have a look." King Qi said, "Let's say that this king is here on tour, and it happens to be a happy event, and I will give a hundred taels of silver, so I have the right to give a gift to the newcomer."

He Jingzhi knew that he saw this as an auspicious omen, so he brought two people along, wrapped up the money himself, and went before him. When he got close, the bridal sedan chair stopped, and the sound of blowing and beating also stopped. Knowing what King Qi meant, he smiled happily again, thanking him without saying anything, but at the same time refusing to leave.

He Jingzhi couldn't beat this enthusiastic village woman, she came back and leaned over to King Qi's ear and said: "These are the parents of the bride. After learning that the prince is here to watch the ceremony, they know that their daughter is blessed to be blessed by noble people, and she will definitely be treated courteously by her husband's family when she gets married. They think This is a great kindness, I want to kowtow in front of the prince."

There is a folk custom of inviting nobles to watch the ceremony in folk marriages, especially the woman, she will invite some face-to-face relatives and friends to add color to her daughter, just to be looked up to by her in-laws at her husband's house, so as not to be bullied - ordinary people have their own wisdom , so as a guarantee, I don't want my daughter to be prosperous in the future, but I want peace and joy in the rest of my life.

King Qi didn't know what he thought of, he remained expressionless for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "The people in Linzhang are all the subjects of this king, since we met, it won't be a while, let them come. "

Hearing this, He Jingzhi cast a glance at the soldiers beside him, and immediately someone ran up to invite the most festively dressed farmer and peasant woman among the group of people, presumably the bride's parents.

The two were a little old, with their backs arched, they supported each other and came forward, when they saw King Qi, they showed a happy expression, and knelt down on the spot to thank the prince for his kindness.

The farmer was dull-tongued, and he seemed to be an honest farmer. He didn't say much except Xie En, but the peasant woman was very eloquent. , the year my little girl was born, a Taoist priest told the girl that she was blessed in her life, and it should be the fate of noble people to protect her. You also know that my family is just a farmer, guarding the three acres There is no chance of meeting noble people... Now it seems that this Taoist master has a hand, and the little girl is blessed, and she should be here with the prince today...I...I kowtow to the prince .”

The peasant woman had a loud voice, not to mention a rough tone, but also high and sharp, like five hundred ducks "quacking" in unison. King Qi was blown away three times before she finished speaking. Hun, the heart of "helping others" flew away three miles away in an instant, a little impatient but didn't want to show it, subconsciously rubbed his brows, and still smiled on his face: "Don't be too polite, aunt, now we are together It should be the fate between you and me... The girl is very happy today, I don't know how close my husband's house is, and I ask the aunt to send the girl on the way quickly, don't delay the trip."

The peasant woman smiled with wrinkled face, stretched out her arms and yelled at the peasant who had been silent since just now, seeing that he was not cooperating, she had to say in person: "No hurry, no hurry, since I met the prince today, how about the peasant woman?" I want to ask my lord something."

King Qi was really impatient this time, obviously showing some displeasure, his face darkened: "Madam, please tell me, if I can do it, I will try my best."

The peasant woman's complexion was dark and wrinkled, her eyes were obviously not very good, and she lacked the ability to read words and expressions, she was still smiling under Qi Wang's face, she couldn't understand clearly, she licked her face and said: "My lord is Great benefactor, living Bodhisattva, my family is really lucky to meet the prince today, the women are too embarrassed to speak up, but since the prince asked, the woman will just say it straight, the prince should not be as knowledgeable as me and other ordinary people."

King Qi: "..."

The peasant woman was talking all over her mouth, and she might have misunderstood the word "sorry".

However, King Qi still said, "Say it."

The peasant woman kept her head down and kept talking, but when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head and smiled brighter at King Qi.

King Qi suddenly became restless, and before he could say anything, he saw the "peasant woman" who was chattering and the dull and honest "farmer" both violently, and a long knife had been slashed across his throat at some point !

The author has something to say: almost failed to maintain the dignity of the daily watch party...
