His Royal Highness originally ate these vegetables with gusto, but in the winter the grass withered, all the roads out of Guanzhong were blocked, and supplies were extremely scarce, so it was difficult to get a bite of vegetables out of season.
But when Xiao Yu asked this question, he immediately felt that the green vegetables in his mouth had lost their taste - after all, he was also the crown prince of the country, one step away from being the supreme king in the world, but his weight in the hearts of the courtiers was far less than that of the princesses. This was really disappointing.
Not happy outside.
Of course, Li Chengqian will never admit that he is a lemon...
The waiter brought a bowl of rice, Xiao Yu took it and picked up the chopsticks. He had been talking and arguing with Yu Wenshi all morning. His mouth was dry and hungry, and he had to be careful of Fang Jun, who was holding him back. He was tired, tired and hungry.
I thought about having a feast and filling up the five internal organs, but suddenly I found that His Royal Highness had put down his chopsticks and picked up the tea cup.
Although Li Chengqian noticed his gaze, he quickly smiled and said, "I love you, you can enjoy it yourself, I am full." However, His Majesty the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince of the country, was sitting there with a teacup in his hand, and as a minister, he was chewing with all his heart.
This is extremely disrespectful.
As a member of the Nanliang royal family, Xiao Yu, who has deep-rooted rules and etiquette in his bones, will never be able to do it...
But fortunately, isn't there another Fang Jun here? This guy is not stingy, even in front of the prince, he doesn't care about etiquette, he eats deliciously, and he can stand in front of him, so he can feel less ashamed.
I can't help it, I'm just too hungry.
However, when he looked at Fang Jun, he saw that these guys had eaten all the rice in the bowl in two or three mouths, throwing away the chopsticks, and his cheeks were so bulging that the boss was still chewing...
This guy made eye contact with Xiao Yu, and did not forget to show a smile, and then said to Li Chengqian in a slurred manner: "Your Highness, I have eaten enough."
Then he instructed the waiter who was waiting on the side: "You are stupid, you have no eyesight at all. Quickly remove the bowls and chopsticks and make a cup of tea. Didn't you see that someone is about to choke to death?"
"Here!"
The waiter did not dare to neglect and quickly put away the bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers on the table in front of Fang Jun, then made a pot of steaming tea and placed it on the table.
Xiao Yu: "..."
He still held the chopsticks in his hands and was hungry in his stomach. But letting him, who had followed etiquette all his life, eat in peace while the prince and Fang Jun looked at him with burning eyes was really more uncomfortable than killing him.
This stick was done on purpose, not as a human being...
Although he knew that the prince would not blame him for giving the gift, after weighing it, Xiao Yu felt that he still couldn't eat peacefully. The feeling of having thorns on his back while eating was embarrassing and embarrassing just thinking about it.
In desperation, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and said, "Old minister, I'm not very hungry yet. Let's talk about it later when we go back to our residence."
Fang Jun nodded repeatedly: "As we get older, we lack exercise, and our body functions decline. We really need to eat less to avoid food accumulation, damage to the gastrointestinal tract, damage to organs, blockage of meridians, and induce various incurable diseases... Eat less
It’s a blessing, you have to know how to maintain your health.”
Xiao Yu's beard stood up, and he was so angry that he wanted to throw a teacup on this bastard's head.
Can eating one more bite of rice be associated with an incurable disease?
When Li Chengqian heard this, he quickly glared at Fang Jun, smiled and comforted Xiao Yu: "It doesn't matter, I will give Song Guogong some vegetables later, and let the cook take care of them when I go back. It will be better to have a steady dinner. Erlang's words are not wrong.
The Duke of the Song Dynasty devoted himself to the affairs of the state and devoted himself to the affairs of the state, but after all, in the Spring and Autumn Period, you should still pay attention to health care. Many people are orphans and are at the helm of the empire. The empire has everything but you."
Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Thank you for your Highness's concern. I'll spare you the trouble. I'm willing to drive you to pieces for Your Highness, no matter how hard I die!"
Li Chengqian quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a casual chat, why talk about life and death?"
He asked the chamberlain to remove all the food and made Xiao Yu a pot of tea. Xiao Yu swallowed the smeared throat and asked, "How is the progress of the peace talks this morning?"
Xiao Yu was stunned and glanced at Fang Jun: "Er Lang has not reported to His Highness?"
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and said with a half-smile, "I just came here to have a meal like this. As for the peace talks, it is you, Duke of Song, who are responsible for it. Why should I go overboard and do it for you? What's more, Duke Song is always wary of me.
If I report it, I wonder why you have doubts in your heart."
This was said without concern for human feelings, but it was the truth. Xiao Yu was devoted to the peace talks and hoped to achieve great results in promoting the peace talks. How could he not let Bifang Jun secretly cause harm?
At the moment, he ignored Fang Jun's cynicism, took out the agreement reached in the morning, respectfully handed it to Li Chengqian, and explained it in detail.
Li Chengqian read the content of the peace talk word for word and said with emotion: "Changsun Wuji is not having a hard time now."
Obviously, taking the initiative to cease the war before the two sides have reached any substantial progress is extremely detrimental to Guan Long, because until now, Guan Long is still in control of the situation and has a great advantage. So after signing this contract
The two sides ceased fighting, and it was obvious that the Guanlong side had made greater concessions, and such concessions could easily lead to being targeted by the East Palace during the subsequent peace talks, because the various clans in Guanlong were too eager for the peace talks.
During peace talks, whoever's demands are too urgent will naturally fall into passivity and make more concessions.
With Changsun Wuji's character, he naturally does not want to see such a scene. Even if the two sides negotiate a peace, the final result will be to severely restrict the power of the East Palace and push the Changsun family to the status of "the number one family in the world"
Above, it recreates the glory and power of the early Zhenguan period.
What's more, the current peace talks between the two parties are more afraid of Li Ji leading troops outside. They want to delay it for a while, hoping that Li Ji will suddenly change his mind and show his stance, and can stand on his side, without having to pay more in a series of fierce battles.
Lots of background...
It can be imagined that this contract almost meant that all the Guanlong families pressed their hands on Changsun Wuji's neck and forced him to continue the peace talks.
Of course, in the East Palace, Fang Jun, Li Jing and others must also be dissatisfied with this armistice contract, because once the war ceases, the control of the situation will be in the hands of Xiao Yu and other civilian officials. From then on, Xiao Yu will decide whether to fight or not, and the military will
Convenience will become a puppet and completely lose its dominance.
Since the day when the rebels broke out, countless generals and soldiers in the East Palace have fought bloody battles to the death, and finally achieved today's situation. As a result, the fruits of victory are likely to be seized by civilian officials. It is reasonable for the military to be resistant.
…
But as the prince and the lord of the East Palace, he could not let the military dominate the situation and continue the war without control just because he was grateful to the loyal army.
From his standpoint, it is in the best interests of the people to negotiate peace talks and then cease the war until the mutiny is eliminated.
Because his first consideration is the interests of the empire.
Of course, he would not act arbitrarily in this kind of matter, nor did he have the domineering power of His Majesty Li Er's Sacred Heart, nor would he ignore the efforts of the soldiers in the East Palace. So he turned to Fang Jun and asked in a deep voice: "In this regard, Erlang What do you think?"
Fang Jun said casually: "I don't have any opinion. Peace talks have been a routine of fighting and negotiating throughout the ages. If there is a real truce and an end to the war, it will not be a peace talk. There is no harm in suspending the war for the time being. Keep an eye on the other side's defense, as long as it's a little If you reveal even the slightest flaw, you will be struck with a thunderous blow!"
Xiao Yu was displeased: "Although this contract was not signed by His Highness, it was signed under His Highness's instruction after all. If you are acting like that, signing an armistice contract here, and suddenly taking advantage of the crisis, Where is the reputation of His Highness and where is the majesty of the East Palace? This is simply ridiculous!"
He knew that Bang Chui would not be willing to promote peace talks and would be secretly tampering with it. As expected, he still refused to change his mind.
Fang Jun asked back: "Then according to Song Guogong's wishes, now that the armistice contract has been signed, Guanlong will gather its troops and focus on peace talks. They will not secretly explore our weaknesses, and then use all their troops to complete the battle?"
Xiao Yu frowned: "Is that what I mean? You must be on guard against others. The defense up and down the East Palace must be rigorous and leave no flaws, but you cannot deliberately look for flaws in Guan Long to attack. If you really can find the opponent's weakness, you will be successful. In the first battle, I naturally agree. After all, peace talks have to pay a price. But if you can't defeat the opponent in one blow and it's just a small fight that has nothing to do with the overall situation, why should you give someone a handle and put the peace talks in a disadvantageous situation? "
He is not a corrupt person who is inexperienced in the world. He will not naively think that signing the armistice contract means that the war will cease. In the final analysis, the reason why the current armistice was promoted is because both sides are unsustainable in the situation of endless fighting. But once they are found by the other party, If there is a flaw, the war will immediately escalate and continue to the death.
