Li Huowang stopped at his feet and looked at Li Sui in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that these were the words Li Sui could say. His lips trembled slightly and opened again. "You, a junior, should take care of adults' matters!"
Li Huowang kept his head down and walked for a while, then suddenly stopped. "Whether she appreciates it or not is her choice. First of all, I will take this opportunity to knock the old mother Wusheng's bamboo pole to let her have this choice."
"Okay, you have the final say." Li Sui said, and his body gradually fell into the soil. "Dad, don't blame me for being harsh. Some things are better solved early. It's not a problem to put them off forever."
Li Huowang's body flashed slightly and gradually disappeared into the air. He became invisible.
It was not far to go to the Imperial City, and Li Huowang arrived quickly. This time Li Huowang found Gao Zhijian, who had approved the memorial, in the imperial study room.
Li Huowang kept his story short and quickly explained to him the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Half an hour later, looking at Gao Zhijian's contemplative look, Li Huowang quickly reminded, "You emperor, don't even think about driving away wolves and devouring tigers. There are so many followers of White Lotus that you have long been like ordinary people. You are among me, and you are among me."
Already."
Gao Zhijian looked at him impatiently, "I'm not stupid enough to let other people's soldiers run wild in the beams. This is no different from giving up the dragon's throne to others."
"That's good. I understand the conflict between you and the White Lotus Sect. Don't worry, there is always a way to resolve it."
Gao Zhijian scratched his forehead with a headache. He just didn't want Li Huowang to get involved in this matter. He himself didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"Then in Senior Brother Li's opinion, what's the solution to this kind of thing?"
"I have nothing to do. I will just sit between the two sides and prevent you from killing each other. As for everything else, we can slowly discuss it!"
"If anyone dares not to listen, I will do it to them!"
After Li Huowang said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof, "Don't pretend to be dead! This is also for you! If you dare to do it! I will definitely go to Bai Yujing to trouble you!"
"Hey, Senior Brother Li, aren't you just messing around? Forget it, let's not talk about it. The enemy is currently facing us. How about we put this matter on hold for now and wait until this matter is completely resolved?"
"Okay! Let's do it then." Li Huowang's face looked a little better. As long as it was useful, he didn't mind continuing to mess around.
"Then what do you do next?" Li Huowang asked.
"Such a big matter needs to be handled with caution. Don't make a hasty decision. Let's wait until other officials arrive."
After saying this, Gao Zhijian pondered for a while, and then said to Li Huowang: "Is Senior Brother Li still sending food to Daqi?"
"We're delivering, what's wrong? You also have to take care of the food grown in Niuxin Village?"
"No, I won't care. Not only will I not care, I will also ask the Ministry of Revenue to open a warehouse to store grain for half a year." Seeing the other party's completely opposite attitude from before, Li Huowang felt confused.
What's going on with this guy? If he hadn't known that Longmai wasn't afraid of this, he would have thought that he had been fooled by Zuo Wangdao's trick.
However, Gao Zhijian's next sentence made Li Huowang immediately understand what the other party was planning.
"Not only food, weapons and armor, but even the magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans in the inner treasury of the Supervisory Heaven Division can all be transported there, and you can just return them after they are used up."
Li Huowang looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, then slowly said: "I know what you want to do. You want Da Qi to be the main beam of the city wall."
In the face of the tragedy in Daqi before, this guy refused to give even a grain of rice. There must be a reason for being so generous now.
From the emperor's point of view, the only thing that makes sense is to arm Daqi and use them to keep the people of Tianchen State out of Daliang.
If such a big trouble can be solved by just paying some food and stuff, and no one has to die, it will be a huge gain.
"Why not? This is good for both parties." Gao Zhijian spread his hands. "Of course, if Senior Brother Li doesn't want it, then I don't have to give it."
Li Huowang always felt that something was wrong, but he felt that nothing was wrong. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. You get your things ready first. I need to go back to Daqi immediately and keep an eye on them to prevent them from messing around."
As he spoke, Li Huowang took out his spine sword and prepared to open a crack.
"Senior Brother Li." Li Huowang put down his hand and looked at Gao Zhijian.
"Senior Brother Li, people are still people after all, and a commander is a commander after all. If he is not of my race, his heart must be different."
"So you all think so? What if you are both a commander and a human being? How do you calculate this?"
Li Huowang didn't wait for Gao Zhijian's answer, and directly opened a crack and got in.
Looking at the empty imperial study room, Gao Zhijian sighed. One wave after another came up. The riddled beams were about to go through hardships again. He didn't know when the people would live a stable life.
"We're going to fight again. Let's increase the agricultural tax this year by 10%."
"This is not possible. The things sent to Daqi cannot be sent out through Daliang alone. Other areas must also contribute. Notify other officials that they have important matters to discuss."
"Hey, I understand, old slave." A row of old eunuchs came out respectfully from behind the screen.
Gao Zhijian thought for a while and said again: "It's now time. I want to know everything about Li Huowang. Isn't it too much?"
"Yeah." Xuan Mi's body emerged from the soil.
Gao Zhijian thought for a while uneasily, and issued another imperial edict. Soon an old man with white eyes carrying a white flag walked into the imperial study room, carried by a eunuch with a stick.
This man Gao Zhijian has already met once, he was the one who made fortune-telling on the eve of the war with the Dharma religion, but he looked older than before.
"Master, how is Daliang doing with this catastrophe?"
"Hmm..." The old man nodded silently, knelt on the ground and took out a palm-sized empty turtle shell with vertical and horizontal red paintings on it from the bag behind him.
He tremblingly took out eight copper coins, threw them into the turtle shell, raised them above his head and started shaking them.
While shaking, he was still mumbling to himself. "Ziwu Maoyou is by the roadside, Yinshen Jihai is returning to his hometown,
Jia Zhen Yi Li Bing Xin Kun, Ding Qian Wu Kan Ji Xunmen..."
Halfway through the recitation, the tortoise shell in his hand suddenly cracked. The cracked tortoise shell scratched the old man's hand. The eight copper coins inside the tortoise shell were stained with blood and fell scattered on the ground.
This scene made Gao Zhijian frown and made the atmosphere in the imperial study become depressing.
The old man wiped the blood off his hands with his clothes and tremblingly touched the copper coins on the ground. When he touched the splattered blood, his body trembled suddenly.
But he didn't say anything. After tremblingly touching the positions and front and back of all the copper coins, he kowtowed to Gao Zhijian. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the great... auspicious divination."
