"According to what Governor Pei said, the Tang envoy came here to actually seek peace. I discussed with everyone that the army was about to go south, so we should first lead the Tang envoy to Jinyang. You might as well listen to what the Tang envoy said. Li Tang was reorganizing his army by the river.
, many of the soldiers went to the west, and we don’t know where they are in front of the army. Maybe we can find out one or two things from the mouth of the Tang envoy."
"Furthermore, since the two countries have good relations with each other, trustworthiness comes first. The Tang envoy is coming soon. He should be treated with courtesy, otherwise he will be laughed at by the princes. As for the Tang envoy's return..."
Having said this, Wang Ze, the Minister of Rites, smiled slightly. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, so Li Tang couldn't help but come.
Li Po touched his chin and nodded frequently. Most of what Wang Ze said was in line with his wishes. This Minister of Rites could be said to be the person he had entrusted to him. He no longer had to guess who came by himself like before.
When everyone gathers firewood, the flames are high...
After talking for a long time, it was clear to Li Po that there was still some unfinished meaning in Wang Ze's words, from the origin of the season to the purpose of their arrival, without actually meeting anyone.
The war was about to begin, perhaps because he was afraid that he would take the Tang envoy's sacrificial flag, or because he didn't care much about Li Tang's visitors, but this was the first time the Ministry of Rites had received an envoy since the establishment of the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't want to leave chicken feathers all over the place.
Perhaps as he himself said, he wanted to take the Tang envoy to Jinyang first out of consideration for integrity and morality.
Who knows, now Li Po will no longer study the thoughts of his ministers in detail. There are more and more people who can speak in front of him. It would be too troublesome to think about each one carefully and it would be difficult for himself.
He had always had a clear image of the greedy and stale members of the Wang family in Jinyang, but as he stayed in Jinyang for a long time, he gradually began to change his mind.
A man like Wang Ze was quite competent in his position as Minister of Rites, and there were only a few members of the clan who committed adultery and crimes. That sentence was the most appropriate way to describe it. In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds.
Of course, Li Po would not admit that one of the more important reasons was that the talented Wang family woman in the mansion was quite understanding and pleasing to the eye.
You can't blame him for this, men have been this virtuous since ancient times...
He waved his hand at the right time and said, "Okay, let's do it like this. But that's what I say, Li Yuan has no credibility at all. Everyone who comes here should be careful. Don't let people spy on the military situation like before, attracting people.
What kind of Black Armor Cavalry is that?"
This is about the Battle of Longmen, and it also resonates with Wang Ze. He had much more dealings with the Li family in Kansai than Li Po, and the consequences were very serious. It was a bloody lesson.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know the importance of this. It is precisely because of Li's unfaithfulness that we should say goodbye to him in order to correct the situation. Now that Your Majesty is about to raise an army, I would like to draft a proclamation to use Your Majesty's prestige to make it known to the world.
Use righteousness to fight against rebellion, and gain the effect of taking the lead and seizing others.”
Li Po was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, is there such an operation? Just after a second thought, he knew that this was a beneficial and harmless move.
Of course, in his opinion, it was of little use. This could not escape the category of coercing the emperor to order the princes, and the significance of welcoming Empress Xiao back was this. It could give the military operation a layer of conformity with the people of the world.
The cloak of knowledge.
As for whether the princes recognize it or not? You don’t need to think about it. Otherwise, there would be no story about the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and the Three Kingdoms.
In fact, this is almost prepared for those noble families. They will vote for whoever is powerful. In order to make themselves look less despicable, they find some random reasons... Well, I want to use it as a watch, but also want to build a memorial arch.
Well.
Looking at the serious leader of the Wang family in front of him, Li Po knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to join the army in the conquest, and he wanted to write a slogan. He wanted to make a big bet, and he almost gave up everything he had.
Well, it's worth appreciating.
Li Po then put his palms on his hands and smiled, "Well, with the talent of the minister, it goes without saying that when it is written, it will definitely make the ghosts and gods astonished, Xiao Xiaoxiao will be frightened, and he will win three points before fighting."
"I only do my little bit to help the king's business. The king praises me so much that I feel ashamed and dare not live up to it."
Wang Ze stood up and bowed to the ground.
……………………
When Wang Ze came out, he had a solemn look on his face. When he saw Li Chun waiting outside, he immediately addressed himself as princess and saluted respectfully.
Li Chun returned the gift, and Wang Ze was about to leave. Li Chun said: "I wanted to go to the house to talk to the minister on a certain day, but I happened to meet him today. Can I talk to him?"
Wang Ze was in a good mood, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The women in the house were all famous, so it would not be a good thing for them to come to his door.
Suspicious in his heart, he took a brief look at Princess Fufeng's face and felt something was a little bad. He bowed slightly and said simply: "Princess, please tell me. I would like to hear the details."
Facts have proved that his intuition was quite accurate. Li Chun waited outside for a long time and was a little annoyed. The most important thing was that a member of the Wang family really provoked her.
"Master Wang is old and has few people to take care of him. I originally wanted to bring him to live in my house, but he always refused... You are the Minister of Rites and the head of the Wang family. I have always heard people say that the etiquette of the Wang family is not good.
Heirloom, well-dressed family, huh, why can’t I tell?”
The more he talked, the more trouble he got, and his eyebrows gradually rose up.
When Wang Ze heard about this lawsuit, his head suddenly became a little bigger.
This matter is not a big deal. The teacher of Princess Li Chun of Fufeng County is the younger brother of Wang Cong, the former head of the Wang family, and the uncle of Wang Ze, the Minister of Rites.
This old man is quite old. In terms of talent and learning, he is actually not outstanding among the Wang family. However, he firmly occupies a place in the Jin literary world because he has many students. For example, the famous Jin scholar Wang
Brother Ji is his student.
And this person took in such a special female disciple as Li Chun in his later years, which cannot be ignored by the Wang family.
Originally, it was a matter of course for such a person to return to the Wang family's main house to rest in peace and contentment in his later years. However, the old man had some troubles with his clan members and had been away from the main house for some years.
More importantly, he married Pei's wife and had close friendships with the Pei Shiqing brothers and others. This was considered a good thing back then. The two families of King Pei and King Pei had been friends for generations and led the Jin Dynasty. They relied on such figures to mediate between them.
deal with.
But a few years ago, when Li Yuan was left behind in Taiyuan, there was a rift between Wang and Pei's families. The old man said a lot of good things for Pei in the family, but the situation at that time was that Pei wanted to step on Wang's head to please Li Yuan. This
Where can the old man resolve it with just a few words?
As a result, the tribesmen started to attack him. In the end, the son and his wife who were implicated no longer wanted to talk to him.
The old man himself was furious to death. Not to mention, just over a year ago, the old man felt that the maid who took care of his daily life was good. He wanted to give her a title, but was blocked by his family. In a fit of rage, he closed the door behind him.
Reading a book means cutting off contact with all the Wang family members.
At this time, members of the Pei family also came to join in the fun, asking about the old man's welfare, and seemed to be taking the old man to Jiangjun to rest in his old age.
Now, Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed. Originally, Wang Ze wanted to wait until the matter was cold before talking about it, but now, they were talking about it again. Mrs. Wang's face was very precious, and she would not be able to get away with it if it fell off.
This matter not only caused a stir in the Wang family, but also spread a lot of rumors outside. This is directly related to the decline of the Wang family's reputation. If it had been left in the past, this would have been considered a big thing for the Wang family with deep roots.
Something?
But it's just different from the past. People like Wang Ji, Wang Zhibian, and even Taiyuan County Governor Wang Lu are deeply dissatisfied with the main branch of the Wang family. Amid internal and external troubles, this matter for the old man is really troublesome.
Li Chun didn't care about this. She just wanted to live alone. No matter how she looked at it, she was complaining about the teacher who had a "miserable evening". She just stared at Wang Ze, trying to get the Minister of Etiquette to make a promise.
When Wang Ze was in a dilemma, Li Po came out and waved his hand, "It's okay for Shangshu to go by himself. Important things are important, don't be distracted."
Wang Ze was granted amnesty, and he could no longer care about anything else and fled in a hurry.
The brother and sister watched Wang Shangshu leave. Li Chun changed his face and gave a flattering smile, but was immediately slapped on the head.
"Nonsense."
Li Po snorted twice and didn't blame him harshly. After all, respecting teachers is a good thing, but the timing is a little wrong. Besides, the old man is now 80 years old, right? I heard he wants to marry a little wife, damn it
, there really aren’t many good people in the Wang family, they look like beasts, huh...
Li Chun's young apprentice and Fei Qingnu, who had been waiting on the side, disappeared silently, leaving only the two brothers and sisters talking.
Li Chun touched his head and happily ignored it. He pretended to be struggling to pick up the food box and followed his brother into the inner room. He immediately set up cups and plates in front of Li Po and took out a jar of wine for him.
Brother is full.
Li Po sat down and stretched, feeling a little tired.
He was so busy these days. In a life-and-death battle, there was almost no room for failure. He felt that he had been greatly tortured both mentally and physically. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The days were getting more and more miserable.
.
Fortunately, there is nothing to worry about. The Turks are short of horses and horses, and the probability of setting their horses south in the spring is getting lower and lower.
Dou Jiande was drooling while staring at Henan, which was nothing to worry about, but Xiao Mian... had made some trouble before, and the offensive in Shuzhong was said to have stopped, showing signs of weakness in the follow-up.
Guys like this are the easiest to repeat, just like Wang Shichong before, it's not uncommon to bite anyone in the mess.
He couldn't calm down at all. He took a few sips of wine, put some mutton in his mouth, and frowned slightly. It was overcooked and had no taste... Now he was really dissatisfied.
Forget about the endless tasks, even the food is not satisfactory, what is the point of being the King of Han?
Of course, according to his habit, he is always very skillful in finding faults, and many times you don't even know what is wrong.
"Going to the palace again?"
Li Chun blinked his eyes and hummed, feeling secretly proud in his heart. Hum, he knew it would be like this...
Sure enough, they immediately reprimanded her, "You have turned a deaf ear to what your sister-in-law said? The queen looks weak, but she was once the mother of the country. Go play with her, don't be betrayed... Huh, she's so old.
, it doesn’t make people worry, it seems I really need to marry you off as soon as possible.”
