Before he could say the word "death", Li Yu quickly stopped talking and almost stabbed Soochow in the chest.
When Zhou Gongjin was in Soochow, he was a favorite of the country. He was liked by everyone from the emperor to the soldiers and the common people.
"Nothing yet?"
"I haven't left the palace yet. I thought the court had already dispersed at this time."
Lu Su smiled and said: "Gong Jin learned that you were coming today, so he specially waited at Zhengxuanmen."
Li Yuxin said, this time the upper echelons of both sides thought of going together. One wanted to borrow troops, and the other wanted to send troops to Qingxi Cave. It was purely because Zhou Yu wanted to attack Huang Gai. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
If Li Yu was the decision-maker, he would definitely not borrow troops. Even if the whole country was to fight against thieves, there would be no reason to borrow troops from neighboring countries.
It's a pity that he didn't care and didn't want to get involved. He just wanted to find the five volumes of Taiping Jing and become a quiet immortal man.
So Li Yu was in a very relaxed mood and followed Lu Su to the courtyard. This was already a palace, but the two of them could come and go freely.
As the two most trusted people of Sun Quan, they held all the military power in Soochow, which was unimaginable in the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, except of course Prime Minister Zhuge of Western Shu.
In the courtyard, there is a small pavilion, and the sound of the piano comes from here.
In the pavilion, a man in a white shirt sat on the ground, with a harp in front of him. The harp was nearly ten feet long. With his arms open, he could only reach half of the length. The strings shone with a strange brilliance. You could tell at a glance that it was not a harp.
Mortal things.
The white-robed scribe's movements were extremely stretched when he played, his fingers were nimble and tilted upwards, and as his arms rose and fell, his ten fingers flew across the strings, flowing out strings of notes.
As soon as the tune changes, he is like a general at the end of his rope, singing loudly in front of the army. The generous and sad music makes people feel excited, and the blood in their hearts seems to be gradually boiling.
He took out a folding fan with a bright red handle and gold sprinkling from his sleeve. He found this among the items left by Ximen Qing in the mission. This folding fan contained rich wood spiritual power. Li Yu knew it must be a treasure.
.
He opened the fan with a "swipe", fanned twice and closed it with a "snap". Li Yu clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! What a wonderful sound."
"Does the little Taoist know how to play the piano?" The scribe under the pavilion stood up, with a very handsome smile, a face like a crown jewel, and a tall figure.
"I understand a little, I understand a little, but I dare not say I understand in front of the Governor."
As the saying goes, Zhou Yu is an expert when it comes to making mistakes, and he seems to particularly like to find fault with others.
Zhou Yu was not polite and modest. He pointed to the futon beside him and said, "Please sit down!"
After Li Yu sat down, he asked: "I came across the river from Bianliang. There were some dangers on the way. The originally upright Mr. Lin was killed by thieves. Now I am in a hurry to see His Majesty the Emperor Wu and complete the tasks assigned by the Song Dynasty court."
It’s a mission, please ask Governor Zhou to lead the way.”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "We already know the purpose of Song Dynasty's coming. They are just bandits. We will definitely send troops to help. My Lord has been ill recently and specifically asked me to receive your envoy here. After we have discussed it, we will bring him back."
You go to see His Majesty, just to be polite."
Sun Quan is in ill health? Li Yu is a little surprised. This guy is in great health and lives a very long time.
But since Zhou Yu said this, something must have gone wrong, because even Zhou Yu could not make fun of his own emperor.
"Emperor Wu has God's blessing, and I believe he will recover soon." Li Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Since we have to work together to suppress the bandits, we cannot delay. Your Majesty has authorized me to take over this matter with full authority. Our Wu State can send troops, but the only issue is the military rations and supplies."
These matters had been decided by Cai Jing a long time ago, and Li Yu explained Song's measures according to the original plan.
Zhou Yu put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Such a great kindness, as long as there is no problem with the food and grass supplies promised by the Song Dynasty, wiping out Fang La will be a trivial matter."
The last person who was so confident was Song Jiang, and his brothers died miserably. Li Yu laughed and said, "It's all thanks to the bravery of the returning soldiers to restore peace to the people of Jiangnan as soon as possible."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Lu Su said with a smile behind Zhou Yu.
This guy looks loyal and honest, the kind of person who can't help but trust him as soon as he sees him.
Li Yu knew in his heart that these were all smart people, and he would definitely not be able to play tricks with them. Fortunately, he did not have any lofty ambitions, and he did not want to play with them.
Let Cai Jing figure these things out on his own.
Next, Li Yu finalized the details with Zhou Yu, and the process went smoothly.
The conditions proposed by Zhou Yu were not excessive at all, and they did not infringe on the rights and interests of the Song Dynasty. It looked like they had been carefully studied.
Li Yu, on the other hand, agreed to whatever he said and did not bargain at all. Anyway, the task given to him by the Song Dynasty was to invite Wu Jun.
As for whether Zhou Yu would take the opportunity to install powerful informants in Jiangnan; whether he would take the opportunity to draw the map of Jiangnan; whether he would take the opportunity to manipulate the defenses of large cities; and whether he would win over the people of Jiangnan.
Li Yu couldn't change all of this, and he didn't intend to worry about it.
If you really go to the officialdom, fight with Cai Jing and others, and change these government decrees that drink poison to quench thirst, then don't do anything else.
After working around for decades, it is already remarkable to be able to compete with Cai Jing and cause a party dispute.
In the end, Li Yu couldn't help but remind him, "Although Fang La is a grass bandit, the Ming Cult behind him is the Zoroastrian Cult in the Western Regions. There are a group of tough and brave people around him. Even though the governor's tigers are strong, they don't want to
It’s better to take it lightly.”
"Yu directs battles and never underestimates any opponent. Even if he is a lion fighting a rabbit, he will do his best. Don't worry, little Taoist priest."
Li Yu nodded. He didn't know what Lu Su and Zhou Yu had in mind, and he didn't want to guess.
Zhou Yu could tell that this little Taoist priest was very lazy and didn't care much about his mission.
He also knew the reason: this guy was not a festival official sent by the Song Dynasty at all. They were attacked by Fang La on the way, and the people in the mission suffered heavy casualties, especially the civil servants who spoke and took care of the affairs, who died the most.
Since Li Yu was holding the festival halfway, he must not have been instilled by the Song Dynasty court with the purpose and limits of his trip.
"Now that the official business has been completed, Zijing, please take him to see His Majesty."
Lu Su smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and said: "Little Taoist Priest, please!"
Li Yu stood up, followed Lu Su, passed through several palace gates, and came to a palace with carved beams and painted buildings.
There are long stairs that can't be seen to the end at a glance. The layout of the palace has a kind of coercion that makes people unable to breathe.
After finally walking up the stairs, Li Yu glanced at Lu Su and found that he was neither blushing nor out of breath, and was more relaxed and calm than himself.
"Your Majesty is inside, please follow me in, Taoist Priest."
