"I am not a warlike person!"

Li Zhigang looked around for a week and said loudly, "But as the emperor said, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, my martial arts and etiquette have been unparalleled. The small country of Annan has repeatedly provoked the Celestial Empire, and this crime is unforgivable!"

"But my emperor is kind and takes the lives of thousands of people first, and cannot bear to be harmed by swords and weapons! Who would have thought that Annan suddenly sent troops to attack our army escorting the princess, and the soldiers could not bear it!"

As he said that, Li Zhigang once again possessed himself and saluted, "Emperor, please kill this beast, proclaim our Ming martial arts in the world, and shock all nations!"

"Please send troops to kill this beast and shock all nations!"

After Li Zhigang finished speaking, several civil officials in the court followed Li Zhigang and spoke.

"Your Majesty! You're going to fight!"

Among the civil servants, Zhang Jue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also said, "The army has been rectifying in Guangdong and Guangxi for several months. The daily food and salary are astronomical. You should send troops quickly to fight early!"

At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu found that Zhu Gaochi, who was in the lower head, was frowning and pondering.

He immediately spoke, "Does Hong Xi have something to say?"

Zhu Gaochi looked up and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I actually think that this is not a good time to start a war?"

"Ha!" Li Zhigang smiled and said, "Why did Minister Wang say this? Are you afraid that my Ming Dynasty will be unfavorable?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi frowned violently.

Then he stood up and stared at Li Zhigang with his eyes squinted, "Li Shaobao... What do you mean I'm afraid of the Ming Dynasty's unfavorable development?" He said, and snorted, "Did you forgot, what's my surname?"

As he said that, he glanced at Li Zhigang again, "Li Shaobao is okay to do business, but what about military affairs? Do you know much? Have you ever been in charge of military logistics? Or have you followed the army to the front line?"

"You..." Li Zhigang was shocked by Zhu Gaochi.

Military affairs are his shortcomings.

"Not to mention the war between the two countries, even two people can't just fight? It's like I want to hit you now, I'll punch you directly, okay?" Zhu Gaochi glared again.

At this time, Li Jinglong whispered behind Zhu Gaochi, "Your Highness, the emperor..."

He first reminded Zhu Gaochi that the emperor was watching from above, and then turned his head and gave Li Zhigang a comforting look, thinking that you should not argue with him.

This is what Zhu Gaochi looks down on Li Zhigang the most. You are just a young security guard now. To put it bluntly, it’s just a firecracker. Is there room for you to talk about war?

Besides, who are you? Who are you? Are you going to harm me, are you qualified?

I scolded you in front of you? You see whether you are looking at me or towards you, you can't tell your identity clearly.

Immediately, Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Yunxi again, "Your Majesty, I say that now is not the best time to start a war, it is not an exaggeration!"

"Yes!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Li Zhigang's face and said to Zhu Gaochi, "Come and listen!"

"It seems that the best time to send troops is because our army has just won a big victory!" Zhu Gaochi frowned and said seriously, "But it is precisely because of this big victory that Annan may wake up!"

The civil officials thought about it, while the military officials all smiled knowingly and nodded, full of praise.

"Three hundred cavalry chased Annan and fought 30,000 people. After this battle, Annan must be guarding the battle."

"Besides, they also know that I am sure that I will not allow such provocations, so at this time, they must have devoted their entire country to the top, manpower, material resources, combat power and even will, all at the top!"

"And..." Zhu Gaochi moaned for a moment and continued, "I have also heard that Huang Zhong slaughtered an Annan city without obeying the military order. I am afraid that now, the people of Annan are united in hating the enemy and want to fight for the death of our Celestial Army!"

"So I think I can't fight now!" Zhu Gaochi said again, "The military strategy has gone down again and again. Now Annan is about to resist the Celestial Empire after a crushing defeat. Even if our Celestial Empire is invincible, it will be worth the loss to fight them head-on!"

"Continue to drag..." Zhu Gaochi said again, "Percede them! I will send a letter of state first, ask them to send their ministers to explain the whole story, apologize for guilt and apologize!"

"Even, I'll ask them for compensation!" Zhu Gaochi grinned, "As a result, they must have thought that this matter was still slow, so the momentum of fighting was naturally dispersed!"

"When their strength dissipates, the best time for my Ming Dynasty to advance!"

"What the prince said is extremely true!"

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, spoke, "I will discuss it! And..."

"And what?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.

"The morale of our army!" Xu Huizu said, "So, our army's desire for revenge is too strong. The so-called soldiers must not be indignant, nor should they be anxious."

"When using troops at this time, our soldiers may be too likely to advance lightly! So I think we should first suppress the troops and wait for the morale of the army to be less anxious, but we can't wait to advance again."

"My opinion is consistent with Duke Wei!" Duke Cao Li Jinglong followed closely, "What the prince's words are also reasonable! Annan is full of soldiers at this time, so it is unwise to fight with them head-on!"

"Just as the military art says, three sieges are missing one, they must always think that they still have a way out! As long as they think that there is still a way out, they will not fight to the death!"

"When they relax, I will kill you with another shot!"

"What I said is very consistent with my heart!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Ministry of Rites, Lifanyuan!"

"I'm here!"

"I'm going to Annan and ask them to send someone to Beijing to explain the reason..."

"What are you competing with him?"

Outside the Meridian Gate, Li Jinglong got on Li Zhigang's carriage in a place with few people.

Li Zhigang had a dark face, "It's not that I want to compete with him, I'm just telling the truth!" As he said, he snorted coldly, "This is arrogance for the Minister of the King and is arrogant enough! How much will he come back with me in one sentence?"

As he said, he gritted his teeth and said, "Only insult me ​​in the court!"

"How big a thing?"

Li Jinglong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You speak out first and mock others? Do you really think that fat man is a good person? The Zhu family is vindictive. He mocked him first, and he must fight back! Besides, if you have any qualifications, you mock others? What's wrong with him?"

Thinking of this, Li Jinglong suddenly felt alert again.

Li Zhigang is greedy for power and even more loves the feeling of holding the people. As soon as he was ranked first in the court, he began to show his carriage and horses and words. This is not a good thing!

"Born, who made his surname Zhu?" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Yi Xing, you don't have any verbal conflicts with him. What you are good at is government affairs..."

"I don't want to pay attention to him either, but do you know what he did?" Li Zhigang suddenly gritted his teeth, "The emperor asked him to hold the official position of the General Office of Taxation and Customs on my head, so he was asked to hold it, but he has now begun to point fingers at me?"

"Hmm?" Li Jinglong was suddenly stunned, "Where did you start?"

"Now the people selected from customs in various places, as well as the officials assigned by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Revenue have already been in place! My new yamen is almost listed!" Li Zhigang gritted his teeth, "But... these people were all carefully selected by me, he... but he relied on being the leader of the Nanshuo District Minister Wang and the emperor asked him to be on top of me, he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Li Jinglong asked anxiously.

Li Zhigang looked angry, "He actually summoned all these people first and had a meeting!"
