Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 74

After listening, Du Ruhui thought for a moment, and did not immediately express his opinion, but instead asked: "Your Majesty, the land of the Central Plains is nominally owned by me, Tang, but can my Tang really include the Central Plains now?"

"No." Li Zhiyun shook his head decisively and said, "Although the Tang army is prosperous, Li Mi's territory is so huge. It is connected to Dou Jiande in the north, Jianghuai in the south, the sea in the east, and Wang Shichong in the west. As long as Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande don't get rid of them, The Central Plains cannot really be grasped.”

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Your Majesty thinks, does the sage understand this truth?"

"Father should understand."

After speaking, Li Zhiyun's forehead instantly burst into sweat.

"Keming, is this all a game?"

Du Ruhui nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, the saint knows that even if Li Mi can persuade Xu Shiji to come to Chang'an, the Central Plains will never be taken in a short period of time. In this way, he let Li Mi go to the Central Plains without any intentions. ."

"You mean, the royal father wants to kill Li Mi?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, "Your Majesty, if the saint wanted to kill Li Mi, why did he accept Li Mi's surrender in the first place?"

"why?"

"The king just said that Li Mi's deputy is Dugu Wynn."

bump!
The tea cup fell to the ground, shattered and scattered, and the hot tea flowed all over the place.

"Dugu's." Li Zhiyun said word by word.

Du Ruhui nodded, squatted down, picked up the teacup pieces one by one, and put them on the table.

"This matter, the king must not interfere!"

His face was very serious.

Li Zhiyun pondered for a moment, then regained his senses, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "Ke Ming, if Li Mi really wanted to persuade Xu Shiji to help Datang recover the Central Plains, wouldn't this matter fail."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, there are [-] ways for the saint to make Li Mi rebel. Even if he doesn't rebel, the saint can say that he rebels."

"But in this way, can the father's plan really succeed?"

"The plan goes well, and the Dugu family will be hit hard."

Li Zhiyun remembered that Wang Xie's incident made Dugu Zhen be a wooden man in the court for a while.

Seeing that Li Zhiyun was silent, Du Ruhui reminded again: "If something happens, if the king goes to quell the rebellion, he will become Guanlong's mortal enemy."

"This king knows." Li Zhiyun got up, walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back.

In the future, whoever dares to say that Old Li is stupid, he will be dragged out and beaten.

"Keming, if the royal father asks me to quell the rebellion, how should I refuse?"

Du Ruhui said, "Your Majesty's newly married Yan'er, the noble concubine in the palace, should not want your Majesty to run around. Besides, His Royal Highness King Qi is brave and good at fighting, and he must not reject this matter."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun grinned.

"You're absolutely right."

Resolving his confusion, Li Zhiyun asked, "By the way, how about you go to Yin's wedding banquet today?"

Li Zhiyun promised Yin Xiaoniangzi to let Du Ruhui attend his brother's wedding instead of him, which was regarded as a face for the Yin family.

"The Yin family is very courteous to their subordinates."

"Very good."

After a pause, Du Ruhui said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Yin Ashu is a human being, so you need to pay attention to avoid accidents."

Li Zhiyun was just about to say that he had already sent someone to stare at Yin Ashu, but the words turned into, "You are right, I will make people pay attention."

The next day, after Li Zhiyun said hello, the Ministry of War registered Qin Qiong and others with their military registrations at the fastest speed and officially joined the Tang army.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian, and Luo Shixin were all five-rank guerrilla generals, while Jia Runfu was a sixth-rank Zhaowu commander.

"Shubao, you are Duke Wei's general Longxiang, how come you were a guerrilla general from the fifth rank in the Tang Dynasty." Jia Runfu was somewhat dissatisfied with the military position arranged by the Ministry of War.

Cheng gritted his teeth, "Yesterday, I saw that the King of Chu attached great importance to us, but it turned out to be just a perfunctory."

Thinking that he was also at the level of a general in Wagang, who led an army, and became a small soldier in the Tang Dynasty, the gap is too big.

General Qin Qiong took away his membership and said, "Don't you understand where Wagang is and where is the Tang Dynasty? Here, we are just downing generals, and we haven't had a dazzling record before. Even in the former Sui Dynasty, I was just a guerrilla. Participant. Besides, the military membership of the Ministry of War does not mention our past, which means that we can start anew in the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and it should not be a problem to gain wealth and honor with the skills of our brothers. ."

Li Junxian also said: "What Shu Bao said is that although the King of Chu values ​​us, he can't do things beyond the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the Tang Dynasty was a formal court, not Caotoushan. I hope everyone understands."

"It turns out that, anyway, it is to fight, so let's fight!" Cheng Yaojin shoved his military registration into his arms.

Qin Qiong continued: "We are now under the jurisdiction of the Chu King's Mansion. Following the Chu King, are you still worried that there will be no battles?"

Everyone laughed.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Today is a good day. Let's go to Pingkangfang for two drinks. I have long heard that Pingkangfang in Chang'an is a must."

Qin Qiong glanced at him and said angrily: "The place where we live now is arranged by the King of Chu, you should save some money, don't your wife deduct your monthly money, you have nowhere to cry."

Hearing the words, Cheng Yaojin immediately hesitated.

The people took their military credentials and dispersed.

Qin Qiong stopped Li Junxian, and the two walked on the road to talk in detail.

"Jun Xian, I thought that the King of Chu would let us join the government to serve, but I didn't expect that it was my villain's heart to save a gentleman's belly."

Li Junxian said, "I was captured by the King of Chu in Xingyang back then, and he did not force me to surrender. Looking at it now, the King of Chu has a lot of heart."

Qin Qiong nodded and said with emotion: "Although our current situation is different from Wagang, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is incomparable."

"Yeah." Li Junxian sighed with emotion, and immediately said: "By the way, I heard that the King of Chu is about to get married. Shall we go?"

"We're going." Qin Qiong said, "We owe the King of Chu a favor, so we're going."

Having said this, he smiled helplessly, "It's just that we are stretched thin, and I'm afraid we won't be able to come up with the precious He Yi."

Li Junxian thought for a moment, then said: "I think the King of Chu is not a vulgar person, and he is a prince of the Tang Dynasty. He should not look down on our three melons and jujubes. The most important thing should be his heart."

"But what can represent the heart?" Qin Qiong asked.

The two elders stared at each other.

Chu palace.

Li Zhiyun is writing invitations at his desk.

Marriage is unavoidable to entertain guests, and Li Zhiyun has to write invitations personally to send them to the door for those who are a bit overbearing.

Such as Dou, Dugu, Wang, Pei and so on.

The other guest invitations were handed over to Du Ruhui and Xue Shou to write.

"No way, my hand is about to fall off." Li Zhiyun leaned on Yang He, and his whole body was about to collapse.

Mad, I don't usually see that there are dozens of people in his third aunt, sixth aunt, and eight aunt.There are more than [-] people in the Guangzong clan, including the elders of the Dou clan and Dugu clan, and there are nearly [-] people in total.

Some of these people will definitely not come, but Li Zhiyun has to write an invitation to show respect.

Formalism sucks!
