The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 234
The maid waiting outside the door came in, carefully poured tea for Li Jiji and Zhao Zhouyi, and exited the room.

"Hehe, the emperor in Chang'an is in serious trouble this time, and Yang Fugong and his gang of eunuchs are much more difficult." Li Jiji gestured to Zhao Zhouyi to take a seat, lifted his robe and sat on one side, "before he Putting Yang Fugong, Liu Jishu and others under house arrest in the palace, and now doing the reverse, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot."

Seeing that Li Jiji was seated, Zhao Zhouyi sat down and said with a smile, "There must be suffering. The eunuchs have a strong desire for revenge, but they will not do too much. Only a decent emperor will go along with their interests."

The rain curtain was still dripping from the eaves. In the study, the two talked about the emperor being controlled by the eunuch, but they were not too surprised. When they left Chang'an, Shang Shuling Geng Qing had already told them the plan. Now that the news came, The only thought in my heart is "this should be the case".

"That's also a pain." Li Jiji didn't have the airs of King Qi at all, and he didn't even care about this title, talking and laughing with everyone as usual.

At this time, there is also an informal parliament, and there are no other generals around, so it naturally seems casual.

"I just don't know how the emperor should save himself this time, or let those idiots in the court save him. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the master's plan, how could I have such a leisurely time, sitting in Longzhou and watching Chang'an's jokes."

"Haha, what King Qi said is that if it weren't for Mr. Zhao, he might have become a headless ghost when he was in Fengxiang."

In the room, the two of them said a word, they were both men who led troops to fight. After talking and joking, the focus was still on the next situation in Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is the closest to here, and it is also the only way to go east. Every move will directly affect The next plan to go to Longzhou, but when the two of them talked, there was a taste of overtly and secretly exalting Geng Qing.

Regarding this point, Geng Qing couldn't tell, the two hoped that he would stay in Longyou for a long time.

In the voice of the conversation, he took tea and looked at the rainy scene in the courtyard outside the window for a while, then sat next to King Qi Li Jiji, smiling and listening to what they were talking about.

After a while, both sides stopped before putting down the teacup, and said with a smile: "The situation in Chang'an will change, and it will probably be soon. Li Ye is not Li Xuan. He is still smart, but he has too little experience and is not good at cultivating energy. It is estimated that he is already looking for countermeasures at this moment, and he has cultivated quite a few direct descendants in the palace."

Li Jiji didn't believe this little knowledge, and frowned.

"Then the gentleman didn't hold back? It's so easy for him to break free?"

"Time is short, so I didn't think so much. It was just a temporary idea at the time." Geng Qing waved his hand, "It was purely to hinder Li Ye. Yang Fugong and others took advantage of it. King Qi and the defense envoy wouldn't really think that Geng was going to kill these things." Someone pull it over?"

He picked up his teacup and took a sip, "It's nothing more than an embarrassment. If you can use it, use it. It's best to borrow Li Ye's hand to kill them. After all, I'm still greedy for their soldiers."

Hearing these words, Li Jiji and Zhao Zhouyi burst out laughing. This kind of confession is the most comfortable.

The guards and servants waiting outside turned their faces sideways, and pursed the corners of their mouths when they heard the laughter in the study. The three of them were all important figures in Longzhou and Fengxiang, so there was no pretense of being a big shot, joking with ordinary people. The people are no different.

In the room, after talking about Chang'an, the topic was finally put on Longyou's side. The plan for a year is in spring. The beginning of spring has passed, and the emperor of Chang'an was held hostage by eunuchs again. The time left for this side seems to be much more generous. The things that need to be done in half a year must be accelerated. The spring sowing and farming on both sides, cattle, sheep and horses, and trade routes are all things that need to be finalized by the three of them.

Especially Geng Qing, he is the governor of Longzhou, and he is also the recorder of the army in the Qiwangfu. On the one hand, he is responsible for the people's livelihood and government affairs, and on the other hand, he has to figure out a general strategy for the army.

During this period of time, Geng Qingguan is actually moving closer to this aspect in the mansion. He is not a great sage, he has only worked as a salesman. If he really wants to deal with these in person, his lack of experience will be obvious.

"In the season of spring sowing, we must strictly guard against Wang Jian in Shu."

After talking about spring sowing, when it comes to military affairs, Geng Qing turned his attention to the wars against Shannan West Road and Jiannan East Road by Xichuan Jiedushi and Langyan King after the beginning of spring this year.

"The land of Shu is naturally dangerous, there are few wars, and the population and food are not a problem. I heard that they have already reached Chengzhou. If you go further north, you can look at me in Longyou."

Li Jiji nodded: "The day before yesterday I sent Fu Daozhao to lead the cavalry to garrison, just to warn him not to cross the border. If he really has such ambitions, I'm not afraid, just go to war with him."

"Wang Jian is an old member of the Shence Army. He has experienced hundreds of battles. He is different from the emperor in Chang'an. You should be careful." Zhao Zhouyi was cautious and kept a vigilant attitude towards Wang Jian from Shu.

Geng Qing glanced at the two of them, and they both had their own opinions, so he didn't say anything more, otherwise he would appear to be nagging, and since he had reached a conclusion, he diverted the conversation away.

"The governance of Longzhou still lacks talents, especially civil servants. I remember that Wen Zhaodu was still in the army. After he entered Chang'an, he was busy with his work. He was forgotten. He is still there now. Didn't he be killed?"

"That's not true. I moved bricks in Fengxiang to repair the city wall." When Zhao Zhouyi mentioned this person, his face was a little ugly. He respected the literati, and he must have returned from Chang'an. Originally, I wanted to detain him here, but I thought that my husband might use him to do business with the emperor of Chang'an, so I kept him at Fengxiang's side. If my husband needs it, I will bring him here when I return to Fengxiang."

"Well, then send it over."

If Longyou wanted civil governance, he naturally couldn't do without some capable ministers, and Geng Qing didn't care who the opponent was, as he was about to send it to his side, there were plenty of ways to govern him.

The three of them talked for a while, and the topic came back to the Guiyi Army, but they were just talking casually. The Jiedushi over there was Zhang Chengfeng, the grandson of Zhang Yichao, and the youngest son of Zhang Huaiding. After the death of the Guiyi Jiedu envoy Zhang Huaiding, he asked Gu Suoxun. This person was Zhang Yichao's son-in-law, but he returned to the Yijun Jiedu envoy on his own. Zhang Yichao's No.14 daughter, Zhang, and son-in-law Li Mingzhen were dissatisfied, and launched a mutiny to suo Xun. Killed and supported Zhang Chengfeng as Jiedu.

But Zhang Chengfeng was unwilling to be a puppet, so he rebelled again and captured the Li family, regaining the power of Jiedushi.

Even for this reason, he made a bold statement: "Take Helan Guangwu City in the east, sweep Tianshan Han Navy in the west, set Yanran Yinshan Road in the north, and end Rongqiangchuan Zangping in the south."

Sending people over to make contact right now, most likely want Li Jiji to help him with foreign aid, and together wipe out the party, Uighur, and Tubo forces in Sha, Gan and other states.

Longzhou had just been in peace for a few months, and Geng Qing was naturally unwilling to do this kind of benefit to others. After analyzing the pros and cons with Li Jiji, they put this matter aside.

'Is Daddy finished talking?It's been a long time, and it's time to eat. '

Geng Nian's voice sounded outside, and Li Jiji and Zhao Zhouyi, who were talking about sex, looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. When it came to government affairs, they both forgot the time and got up to leave.

Geng Qing got up to persuade him to stay, and handed him over to the door: "King Qi, the Defense Envoy, since it's already noon, you might as well stay in the mansion for dinner. There is a new chef at home, with superb skills, who can cook many delicacies from Chang'an."

Outside the eaves, a little man was standing next to a maidservant, staring at the two big men in the army who came out one after another with puffy eyes. Li Jiji glanced at the puffy boy, couldn't help smiling, and waved Geng Qing not to send him off. .

"That's not necessary. In the palace, food and drink are also prepared, but it's Zhao Defense Envoy. Why don't you come with me to the palace?"

Zhao Zhouyi clasped her fists together, "Please, King Qi."

The two made some concessions, turned around and left.As soon as the person left, Geng Nian trotted over to grab his father's palm.

"Daddy, do you remember that when the rain stopped, I took Nian'er out of the city?"

"Remember!" Geng Qing never hesitated to talk and smile when it came to her child, and she tickled the little man's nose. Over there, Bai Yunxiang was hurrying over. She went to the side room to look for the child, but failed. Come here.

"Nian'er, I knew you came here. Daddy still has business to do, don't bother me."

"mother"

Geng Nian's eyes turned red, and when he slowly raised his face to look up at his father, warm palms touched his forehead, Geng Qing picked him up and walked straight out of the eaves.

"Pack up the lunch, prepare the car, and let's go for an outing."

"Uncle, your political affairs." Bai Yunxiang yelled standing under the eaves, and Geng Qing, who had already walked to the opposite eaves, raised her hand and waved, "Go to hell with the political affairs, I will take my son out to relax today, and you This silly woman, do you want to follow along?"

The woman pursed her lips, and couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, raised her skirt, and hurriedly followed with her embroidered shoes.

In the voice, all the servants and maidservants in Geng's house served dishes and meals, and the guards and guards put on armor and took up weapons. They were busy and chaotic, but they were full of vitality.
