Li Changfeng stopped and turned around. When he saw it was General Ye Qingcang, he couldn't help but smile. He bowed with all manners and said, "General Ye."
Ye Qingcang, even though he was in a remote place like Baishi City, he had heard of his name for a long time. He fought on the battlefield all his life, took the lead, and made great contributions to the great cadres. Everyone admired him.
Li Changfeng also sincerely respects these tough guys.
Ye Qingcang looked at Li Changfeng's eyes twinkling and said in admiration: "What His Highness the Ninth Prince said today made me admire him greatly. People in the world had misunderstood His Highness a lot before. If His Highness was a mediocre person, how could he say such heroic words? What are your words? What Your Highness said today will surely be remembered for eternity!"
Li Changfeng didn't want to be praised so highly. This was inconsistent with his philosophy of being a low-key person and enjoying life. He immediately shook his head and said: "General Ye is ridiculous. I just vented my displeasure. How can I compare with thousands of people like you, General?" A famous general who fought with thousands of troops?"
Ye Qingcang smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be too modest. The veteran is very good at judging people. Your Highness is talented and will surely shine in the future!"
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "General Ye, I'm afraid you really made a mistake this time."
Ye Qingcang smiled and did not continue the topic, and asked: "Does Your Highness want to make meritorious service in the army? If so, I would like to go to His Majesty and tell him."
Li Changfeng waved his hand quickly and said: "General Ye, please don't act nonsense. How do I know how to lead troops in a war? You know, just giving a military order to the general will involve the life and death of countless people. This prince can't do this!"
Seeing that Li Changfeng had no intention of developing in the army, Ye Qingcang could only nod helplessly.
"If your highness changes your mind, please come see me."
Li Changfeng laughed dryly: "Okay, I understand."
joke!
He is not afraid of leading troops in war.
But if he accomplishes any great feats, wouldn't he be treated like a bull and a horse by Emperor Qianwu again?
There is no shortage of strong generals who are good at conquering and fighting, and there is no need for him to take the lead.
After chatting with Ye Qingcang for a while, Li Changfeng left the Xuanzheng Palace and headed to Jingren Palace.
Concubine Lan and Li Mingzhu were both very happy to see him, but their frowns could not be relieved, and they were obviously still worried about the marriage.
Li Changfeng didn't waste any time and said directly to Li Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, you can rest assured. My father has changed his mind and will no longer send me to negotiate peace. You don't need to go to the barbarian land to marry that bad old man."
Li Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and exclaimed: "Really?!"
Li Changfeng patted Li Mingzhu's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. How could Brother Ninth make a joke about this kind of thing?"
"Thank you, Brother Ninth. Brother Ninth, you are so awesome. I didn't expect you to really do it!"
Li Mingzhu cheered for joy, but Concubine Lan couldn't believe it and said in confusion: "Changfeng, is everything you said true? Don't lie to me!"
Li Changfeng said swornly: "Mom, please rest assured. I have said that no one can decide Mingzhu's marriage, not even the emperor!"
Concubine Lan was overjoyed: "Okay, that's great!"
Then he warned: "Don't say such treacherous words in the future. It will be bad if it reaches the ears of your father!"
Li Changfeng did not refute, and said sternly: "Mother, my son has grown up now. No one can bully you and Mingzhu in the future. I will protect you!"
Hearing this, Concubine Lan couldn't help but shed tears of happiness, and she suddenly felt that the grievances she had suffered all these years were not in vain.
After staying in Jingren Palace for a full two hours, Li Changfeng left. As soon as he left the palace, he found Gao Dalihou at the door.
"Lao Gao, why are you here?" Li Changfeng asked in surprise.
"I'm waiting for your highness here, your majesty wants to see you!" Gao Dali looked at Li Changfeng with a bright look in his eyes.
Even though he was an eunuch, his blood was boiling with excitement due to Li Changfeng's words in the court today, and he felt aroused.
Li Changfeng was a little impatient.
Why did Emperor Qianwu see me?
Is there anything else you want me to do?
Thinking of what Ye Qingcang said before, Li Changfeng couldn't help but feel secretly vigilant.
If he is allowed to go to the battlefield, he will not even kill him.
Li Changfeng took out a wad of banknotes and quickly stuffed them into Gao Dali's hand: "Old Gao, we have known each other for a long time. Can you tell me the truth about why my father called me over?"
Gao Dali quickly pushed the banknote back: "Your Highness, I don't know what your Majesty is looking for! Your Majesty is in a good mood, which should be a good thing."
"Just take it. Why are you so polite?" Li Changfeng stuffed the banknote back and urged, "Let's go. After meeting His Majesty, I still have things to do."
After saying that, Li Changfeng turned around and left, not giving Gao Dali a chance to return the banknote, but he became even more wary.
The so-called good things in the minds of Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali are most likely bad things to him. You have to be careful and don't be fooled by Emperor Qianwu.
Gao Dali looked at Li Changfeng's back, glanced at the banknote in his hand, and put it away calmly, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
This prince is so grand!
really.
When they came to the imperial garden, they saw Emperor Qianwu smiling and laughing loudly: "Changfeng, what you said in the court today was really exciting! You can say such shocking words. , it can be seen that you have a lot of talent in your heart, and you are a talented person, so you can share more of my worries in the future!"
What Li Changfeng said today made him completely open up his heart. He no longer looked forward and backward as before, and his heart was as clear as ever.
The more he looked at Li Changfeng, the more he liked him, the more he liked him, and he began to think about cultivating him.
If an ordinary person was praised like this by Emperor Qianwu, he would definitely be extremely happy, but Li Changfeng was secretly wary in his heart, shaking his head repeatedly and saying: "Father, how can I have any talent in my heart? It's just that my sister is going to be raped. It's nothing more than sending her off to get married if you don't want to vent your heart."
"Come on, brat, don't be too self-effacing. Why can't others say such majestic words? If nothing else, at least your backbone is much stronger than that of most people in the court! "
After saying that, Emperor Qianwu patted Li Changfeng on the shoulder and said with a pleased look on his face: "I'm really proud of you today, I'm very happy!"
Li Changfeng smiled dryly and said: "Father, as long as you are satisfied, but to be honest, father, I am not as good as you think."
Emperor Qianwu waved his hand and said: "Okay, I don't know if you have the ability? Don't talk to me about this. From your strategy of using war to support war, it can be seen that you still have certain military talents. I have decided to send you to join the army and lead troops to make achievements, what do you think?"
Li Changfeng shook his head and refused without thinking: "No, this is absolutely not possible! How can I lead troops to fight?"
joke!
War is no joke, people will die, so he will not do such dangerous things.
Emperor Qianwu glared: "What you said today is so ferocious. I thought you were a hot-blooded man with backbone. Aren't you afraid?"
Emperor Qianwu, who was born in the military, hated weaklings the most. Naturally, Li Changfeng would not admit it. He said helplessly: "This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but a question of whether you can. I don't know how to lead troops to fight. If I go, won't it cause more trouble? ?Father, you don’t want your subordinates to trick our soldiers to death because they don’t know how to command the battle, right?”
Emperor Qianwu said angrily: "You brat, I saw your soldiers fighting evil beasts in Baishi City, and the artillery battalion was trained well by you. How dare you say that you can't lead troops to fight? I'm looking at you. It’s obvious that he is too lazy and doesn’t want to go to the battlefield!”
The world has been settled, how can there be any chance to make meritorious deeds in such a short period of time?
Using troops against the Southern Barbarians now is a good opportunity to make achievements. As long as you get solid military industry, you can gain a firm foothold in the court and speak tough, which will be of great benefit to Li Changfeng's future.
Moreover, he already had a plan in his mind. When the time comes, he will send Dauchi masters as Li Changfeng's personal guards, so that even if Daqian's army is defeated, he can be protected.
Others could only dream of such a good opportunity, but Li Changfeng refused it without even thinking about it.
Emperor Qianwu was so angry that he wanted to go up and slap Li Changfeng twice on his belt.
On the way, Li Changfeng guessed that such a situation might occur, and had already thought of the wording. As soon as Emperor Qianwu finished speaking, he answered: "Father, how come you are talking about laziness? My son is fighting in Baishi City. Evil beasts, training artillery battalion soldiers does not mean that I will really lead troops to fight..."
Emperor Qianwu interrupted Li Changfeng and said angrily: "You bastard, why did you suddenly become enlightened? Why don't you understand all my hard work?"
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Father, can't you just listen to what I have to say?"
"explain!"
Emperor Qianwu shook his sleeves fiercely and sat down on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression.
Li Changfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Father, since you have seen Erchen's subordinates kill evil beasts in Baishi City, you know that they use artillery. There is no need to march and form formations at all, and you don't even need to come into contact with evil beasts. You only need to Just stand on the city wall from a distance and aim and fire! Can he be the same as fighting with people?"
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu looked astonished.
Indeed, evil beasts have no intelligence and only know how to kill.
But the barbarian enemies were different. They were proficient in everything from spying on the enemy's situation, arranging troops, and plotting.
From this point of view, it is indeed very different.
Li Changfeng's experience in dealing with evil beasts in Baishi City is indeed of little use on the battlefield with people.
Seeing the change in Emperor Qianwu's expression, Li Changfeng continued: "Father, when we fought against the evil beasts, it was not under the command of my subordinates. I only supervised and listened to a cross talk. In fact, I didn't know anything!"
After hearing this, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but nodded.
"What you said makes sense."
However, he was not that easy to fool, and then he changed the topic and asked: "But the artillery battalion recruit training has been very effective, what do you say?"
Li Changfeng sighed and said: "Father, please think about what my son has trained, running, push-ups, sit-ups, crossing obstacles, artillery aiming, etc. Are these skills used for fighting?"
