Liu Jie and others had been waiting under the inner gate for a long time. When they saw Yu Wenshi and the imperial guards approaching, they quickly stepped forward to greet him and said worriedly: "I haven't seen you for many days. Duke Ying's complexion is gloomy and his steps are sloppy.
, but the body is not feeling well? Although the weather is getting warmer in spring, the lingering cold has not gone away. If the body is weak, it is still necessary to take good care of it to prevent the cold evil from invading the body and becoming bedridden."
As soon as they met, the negotiations had already begun.
Looking at Liu Ji's bright smile, Yu Wenshiji squeezed a smile on his face, bent down to return the gift, and after standing up, he said lightly: "Thank you Liu Shizhong for reminding me, but I have always had a good foundation. Even if I accidentally caught the cold, a few doses of decoction
The medicine will cure the disease as soon as it goes down. On the contrary, those who have been in bed for many days will feel refreshed and appear to be gone, but in fact they are terminally ill. If they are not careful, their lives will be endangered. Be careful, be careful."
Liu Jie seemed not to understand Yu Wenshiji's retort, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'flowers bloom again, and people are no longer young.' If you are younger, you will have a solid foundation and can withstand hardship. But once you get older,
You have to be very cautious and take care of everything. If you make a slight mistake, you will make a big mistake that you will regret later."
…
The two of them were quarreling with each other, and they were having fun coming and going. The subordinate officials on the side stood solemnly, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
However, the two of them exchanged a few words with guns and sticks, and seemed to know that such rhetoric was of no real use, so they both stopped talking in unison.
Liu Ji turned sideways and said: "Duke Ying, please."
Yu Wenshiji clasped his fists in return: "I don't dare."
They stepped into the inner gate first, followed closely by Liu Ji and others, and went straight to the government office temporarily set up in the inner gate of Menxia Province, and came to Liu Ji's duty room.
The peace talks have been completely taken over by Liu Jie. Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others will not participate all the time because of their own identities. It is even more impossible for the prince to meet and participate in discussions every time. He will only participate in some important nodes that require decision-making.

…
In the prince's residence not far from the guest room, Li Junxian quickly walked in, revealing a secret.
Light rain was pattering outside the window, and the cool breeze was slowly blowing in through the open window. A cup of hot tea was steaming white on the table. Li Chengqian knelt down behind the table and listened attentively.
Li Junxian whispered: "Just now, the British Duke sent his nephew into Chang'an and arrived at Yanshoufang to meet with Duke Zhao. However, those present at the time were all heads of Guanlong families, so what he said is not yet known."
Although the details of the meeting are not yet known, Li Ji sent his nephew to meet with the elder Sun Wuji, which in itself is a huge event.
Li Ji, who had always seemed to stay out of the mutiny, suddenly got involved, which was enough to cause shock to all parties.
Especially when he met with Changsun Wuji, he did not hide his appearance. The meaning is even more thought-provoking...
It stands to reason that when Li Jizhi's position is enough to influence the situation in Chang'an, his move to send people to meet with Changsun Wuji almost shows his tendency. As the prince, Li Chengqian should be panicked. However, at this moment, His Highness the prince's face is calm, with only a pair of eyebrows slightly raised.
Frowning, he asked, "Is there anything unusual happening over there at Tongguan?"
Li Junxian said: "Everything is as usual. The pass is still blocked by British officials. Only people are allowed to enter and no exit is allowed."
Li Chengqian asked again: "Are there any private armies from foreign clans entering Guanzhong today?"
Li Junxian said: "There are, but not many in number. Most of them are the supplies needed by the private armies that entered Guanzhong before. With so many troops gathered in Guanzhong, Guanlong ordered all counties to maintain supplies, but every day
The amount of grain consumed was too much, and there were endless complaints from all over the country. Those private armies outside the pass could only mobilize supplies from their respective homes to the center of the pass, otherwise they would not be able to survive."
Although Guanzhong is known as the "Land of Abundance" and the 800-mile Qinchuan River has fertile soil and abundant water, it has been a grain-producing land since ancient times. However, His Majesty Li Er collected a large amount of grain and baggage during his Eastern Expedition, and the storehouses of each county were almost emptied. Now Guan Longyou was forced to "donate" and completely emptied the county warehouse.
More than 200,000 hedgehogs gathered around Chang'an. They ate horse chews and consumed astronomical amounts of food every day...
Therefore, it is said that "military affairs are important matters for the country, and the land of life and death must not be ignored." The end of excessive military force is the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family. Of course, this is except for the so-called "war to support war", which plunders all the resources of other countries and the people Slavery, using the law of "the weak and the strong" in the beast world to exploit other countries and strengthen oneself, can indeed fill the national treasury and dominate the world in a short period of time.
However, "no matter how big a country is, if it is warlike, it will perish", we must take this as a warning.
…
When Li Junxian retired, Li Chengqian was sitting alone in the hall, sipping tea slowly, listening to the patter of rain outside the window, feeling very upset.
What was Li Ji's intention with this action?
It seems that he wants to encourage Guan Long to continue to increase his troops and attack the East Palace fiercely, and he will not give up until the East Palace is destroyed?
Although the whole world was speculating on Li Ji's tendencies, stance, and plans, Li Chengqian rarely had his own opinions. However, the speculation in his heart was really contrary to logic and difficult to win the approval of others, so he never revealed anything.
But now it seems that my guess is biased.
Which side is this guy on? Or is he simply playing both sides, betting on both sides?
Li Chengqian rubbed his brows, feeling exhausted mentally and physically. Now he is just the prince of the country. He has not yet been able to ascend the throne as an emperor. He has never experienced the scene of controlling the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, but he has already felt that he is dealing with such outstanding and far-sighted people. It's really difficult. Every word or even every look may have a deeper meaning. I would never speak clearly. Most of the time, it's all in the clouds. It requires a tacit understanding between each other with the same level of intelligence. to communicate with each other.
If he can defeat the rebels and successfully ascend the throne, there will be many hard days ahead.
My father spends his whole day dealing with, gaming, and intrigues with these outstanding figures of the world. How courageous is that?
I might as well have more...
From this point of view, Fang Er is indeed caring. Although his wisdom and strategies are not inferior to anyone in the court, his acting style is completely different. The style of being straightforward and never going round to show off his IQ is really very kind. Already...
*****
Outside Xuanwu Gate, there is a guard camp on the right.
Although the Guanlong army attacked in two directions, and the two-pronged approach posed a great threat to the Youtun Guards, fortunately they were defeated one by one with their strong combat power. A hearty victory made the Youtun Guards' morale burst, and the soldiers in the military camp were overwhelmed. All the soldiers coming and going were walking swiftly and their faces were full of spring breeze.
Everyone knows that after this battle, the situation in the East Palace will be completely different. It will no longer be in a precarious situation and may be overturned at any time. It can be used to show off its fists and have a good fight with Guan Long.
What's more, once the East Palace turns defeat into victory, the Youtun Guards, who are the most loyal members of His Royal Highness, will surely receive a large number of rewards and titles. Although the Duke of Yue is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, even ordinary soldiers will be raised to heaven, money, food, ranks, official positions, etc. There are all kinds of titles, and it is very possible to recreate the scene in which His Majesty Li Er went against the grain and seized it, and then showered him with rewards after he ascended the throne as emperor.
It’s so exciting just thinking about it…
In the camp, Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Liu Shenli and others were all present to discuss post-war pensions for the fallen soldiers, reorganization of the injured troops, rearrangement of defenses and other matters.
Fang Jun placed the thick list of fallen soldiers on the desk in front of him. His face was calm, without much disturbance, and he said calmly: "The pension standards for the fallen soldiers of our right garrison are the highest in the Tang Dynasty, and they are equal to those of the imperial guards around your majesty."
, with such a generous pension, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous of the money. This pension matter has been fully followed up by Cheng Wuting. If anyone dares to steal a penny from the soldiers' hard work, I will treat it as legitimate regardless of their origins or their current position.
Punishment to serve as a warning to others!"
He still understands the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. He is not one of those staunch and upright people. Normally, his subordinates eat some, take some and occupy some. As long as it is harmless, he can get by. It is indeed difficult for a general to lead an army.
If you want to be honest and upright, but you have big-headed soldiers who are illiterate and working hard with their heads in their hands, how can you explain the principles of saints to them and even talk about righteousness?
But everything must be done in a principled manner. He can be lenient when he is greedy for other money, but if anyone touches the life money of the soldiers, he must let that person bury the soldiers who died in battle!
Cheng Wu had a bitter look on his face and said dissatisfied: "This kind of thing will definitely offend everyone. You can just send any commander in the army. Why do I have to go? In this battle, the commander-in-chief ordered me around, saying that I was the one in the middle."
Contact, emergency rescue mission, but in the end I didn’t get any merit. After the war, I still have to do such a job... Commander, can you change it to someone else?"
