Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 148 Lu Bu Yue Fights Xing Daorong!Gaoliang River and Shiliang River!
In Chengtian gate building, after Li Gefei handed over the post, he waited in the gatehouse.

He belongs to the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites. He is neither an office worker in Zhongshu or the lower provinces, nor is he an official of fourth rank or above in the outer dynasty. Naturally, he cannot enter the palace casually, and must obtain permission.

There are many officials coming in and out of Chengtianmen every day, and the eunuchs here also watch people order dishes.

If some important officials are waiting here, such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the doctor of the Kaogong Division, the head of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War, etc., then they have to be well served and serve good tea.

If it's a little bit inferior, such as the Rites Department of the Ministry of Rites and Dali Temple, there will be a hard long bench for you to sit on.

But if it’s Bi Mawen from Taipu Temple or someone who raises pigs in Guanglu Temple, then I’m sorry, and there may not be long benches, so you just stand obediently, or worse, you can’t stand up. I can't even get in, so I'm just waiting outside!
Of course, in addition to these, if you are willing to spend money, you will also be served with delicious food and drink. This is also one of the sources of income for the eunuchs at Wufenglou in Chengtianmen.

This is the first time for Li Gefei to come here, so naturally no one told him these tricks, but the eunuchs here did not make things difficult for him, a shrine priest, Wailang, and still invited him into the inner room with ice trays, good tea Serve attentively.

He thought it was nothing at first, and this was also a normal reception.

But it wasn't until Li Gefei saw the officials waiting outside that he became surprised.

"Why do they have to wait outside, can't they come in and rest?"

The little eunuch on the side smiled shyly, and said frankly: "They didn't give you any money..."

Halfway through the speech, the old eunuch in Tsing Yi pounced on him and blocked his mouth: "Haha, this kid had a fever last night, and he was talking nonsense, please forgive me..."

Li Gefei frowned, and was about to ask again, but suddenly an eunuch ran outside and asked loudly, "Who is Li Gefei, the priest of the shrine?"

"Yes." Li Gefei turned around and saluted the eunuch.

The eunuch immediately put on a smiling face: "Come with us, Your Majesty wants to see you."

Li Gefei had no choice but to swallow the question back to his stomach, and left here with the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Li Gefei has arrived."

In the political affairs hall of Ziwei Hall, an eunuch in Tsing Yi suddenly ran in to report.

A look of helplessness flashed across Li Gan's face, but he still waved his hand: "Let him in."

Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi had already left, and now only Li Gan and the old eunuch, master and servant, are left in the hall.

The two looked at each other, Li Gan suddenly sighed, and the old eunuch shrank his neck.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall. Li Gefei, dressed in a green robe with colorful embroidered white pheasants, black satin official boots, and a black gauze hat, was a tall and handsome Li Gefei who slowly entered from outside the hall.

He didn't raise his eyes to look at the situation in the Zhengshitang, but first bowed to the front and bowed down: "The priest of the shrine, Li Gefei, waiter, see Your Majesty."

Li Gan was sitting on the top, and now he looked at Li Gefei who was wearing an official robe, and immediately felt a little different.

When I saw him outside the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion before, Li Gefei was wearing a casual robe, with three short beards under his chin.

But see you today, he is wearing an official uniform, but he immediately gives people a majestic feeling...

Li Gan nodded slightly. He really was Li Qingzhao's father. If he didn't have such good genes, how could he have such a beautiful daughter?
"Get up." He said softly.

Li Gefei's ears moved slightly, as if he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

But when he raised his head and looked at His Majesty the Emperor above, his eyes widened and he was dumbfounded: "You...Your Majesty..."

Li Qian smiled at him: "Do you think I look familiar?"

He finally figured it out, even if Li Gefei recognized him, it's okay, at worst, let him keep the secret.

This kind of well-educated gentleman can teach in the Imperial College for so many years. They are generally honest people, and they must be obedient.

Therefore, it is not him who should panic, but him.

Hearing this, Li Gefei came back to his senses, and hastily bowed again, with a bit of expression on his face: "Your Majesty, I'm rude, I just saw that your majesty resembles a person I have seen before, and I was a little dazed for a while."

He is still doing the last struggle.

Li Gan broke through the pale and feeble struggle with a chuckle: "It's not very similar. If there is no accident, the person you saw outside the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is Zhen."

He said to the old eunuch behind: "Don't let Li Qing's family stand, give me a seat."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch replied, and only then did the young eunuch move a round stool and sit up.

Li Gefei sat down obediently, but he inadvertently glanced at the old eunuch behind him from the corner of his eye, and was even more surprised.

"Li Qing's family, today I saw you in the Ziwei Hall. When you see me outside the palace, don't reveal my identity."

Li Qian first inoculated him: "What happened to me outside the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion that day, don't tell anyone when you go back."

He added another sentence: "Even if it's family members and Qin Xi, don't say that's me."

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Gefei couldn't wish for it, and wondered whether Qin Xi was lucky or unlucky?

Just looking for faults outside, you can actually find His Majesty the Emperor. Without the foundation of committing crimes in eight lifetimes, I am afraid it will be very difficult for such a bloody bad luck.

But it can't be said that he was unlucky. He brought people to beat His Majesty the Emperor, but he just got two big ears and it was over. Is there such a good thing in the world?

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Li Gefei thought of Qin Xi, he couldn't help pleading: "Qin Xi is kind in nature, but he was negligent in teaching the day after tomorrow, please Your Majesty..."

Li Qian had expected him to be like this: "The ignorant is innocent, and I will not blame him."

He smiled and looked at Li Gefei below: "Li Qing's family, do you know why I suddenly thought of promoting you?"

Li Gefei subconsciously wanted to say that it was because of Chen's article, but he suddenly froze when he was about to speak.

Is it really because of this?
He, Li Gefei, is definitely not that prominent among the doctors of the Imperial College. Why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly read his article?

The only special place may be the encounter outside the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Li Gefei carefully recalled the details of the day, and suddenly his eyes widened when he thought of the end.

He thought of that scene, His Majesty seemed to be pointing at his own daughter at the end, and said with surprise: "You are Li Qingzhao?"

Li Gefei's mood suddenly became heavy!
Could it be... because of my daughter?

Otherwise why?

Li Gefei looked solemn, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable.

With guesses, his mood was complicated like a mess, he raised his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor, opened his dry lips, but couldn't say anything.

Li Gan sipped his tea, wondering in his heart.

What does your expression mean?
Could it be that Qin Hui didn't tell you that I have read your "Theory of Breaking Ink Obsession"?
Wouldn't it be okay to just say this directly?Is there any other reason?Because you are the father of a great poet?
"His Majesty……"

Li Gefei seemed to have experienced an extremely intense ideological struggle, and then slowly raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I heard from Prime Minister Qin that Your Majesty has read your article..."

He's going to struggle.

"good."

Li Qian didn't give him a chance to continue to show off, and said with a smile: "I am quite touched by the insightful insights of Li Qing's family."

He nodded with emotion: "Guochao needs ambitious and talented people like Li Qing's family."

"But it's not just because of this that I promoted Li Qing's family." Li Qian's voice changed suddenly.

Li Gefei's heart sank, and he came secretly.

Li Qian looked at him like this, and wanted to say something about Qin Hui, but he kept his mouth shut when the matter came to an end.

In any case, both of them are relatives, so some things cannot be mentioned, otherwise it would be too inappropriate.

However, he still has some confidence in Li Gefei.

In his previous life, Li Qingzhao was so destitute that he didn't go to Qin Hui to join his relatives. A father who can educate such children probably wouldn't start to associate with Qin Hui just because he came to the Ministry of Rites.

"never mind."

Li Gan said with a smile: "I'd better tell you about the Ministry of Rites."

Li Gefei's heart was even heavier, what does this mean?
Don't tell me, is this asking me to send my daughter to my door?He also mentioned the Ministry of Rites, could it be that if I don't agree, the Ministry of Rites' errands will not be able to be done?

He asked himself that he wasn't the kind of person who buys girls for glory, if that's the case, it's worth noting that this official really doesn't do it...

Naturally, Li Qian didn't know the ups and downs in this guy's heart, and he smiled and said: "Wang Zongbo from the Ministry of Rites admires you very much. Li Qing's family went to the Ministry of Rites, so they should pay a visit to Wang Zongbo first."

This must be told, lest he go to the Ministry of Rites and go through the gang.

In the past few days, Li Gan has generally read Li Gefei's works. In those articles, most of them criticize the extravagance and corruption of the present.

After all, the current gift is no longer available, so we have to look for it from the past.

Besides, the reason why Li Gan dared to say that to Wang Mang was naturally because he had roughly read Li Gefei's book and knew that he knew the ancient rituals very well.

Since there is such a hard condition, if you don't use it, you will be a bastard.

But since Wang Mang has established an image, it cannot be allowed to collapse too quickly.

Now that Li Gefei is about to take office in the Ministry of Rites, he must be mentioned first.

"Dr. Li, I read your book and see that you have studied ancient rituals quite a bit. How do you view ancient rituals?"

Li Gefei was immersed in the great decision, when he heard this sentence suddenly, he was startled suddenly.

Li Qian asked again: "What do you think, if the ancient rituals are used in the current court to govern the country and the people, so what?"

Li Gefei immediately put aside distracting thoughts and replied: "Your Majesty, the reason why ancient rituals are ancient rituals is because of the changes in current events, so they are not suitable for the present."

"However, the ancient rites should not be completely negated. I just have some superficial knowledge about them, and I know that some ancient rites are still of great use even today."

In any case, His Majesty is talking about business now, so he has to correct his attitude.

As for the love between children...

Li Gefei secretly sighed in his heart, let's put it aside for now.

Anyway, he hasn't said it yet, and when His Majesty gets impatient and doesn't want him to stay in the Ministry of Rites, he will resign.

However, after hearing his opinion, Li Qian nodded in surprise.

There is indeed something, avant-garde thinking, discarding the dross, extracting the essence, and advancing with the times.

It seems that it is really good to have him as a member of the etiquette department.

Li Gan nodded slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved, but I still want to tell you something."

"Wang Zongbo from the Ministry of Rites is a person who admires ancient etiquette and has studied it quite a bit. If you have any ideas, you might as well communicate with him more."

While you two may have slightly different ideas... that's probably a good thing too.

Li Gefei nodded yes.

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer today."

Li Gan saw off the guests with a smile: "I hope Li Qing's family can make a big splash in the Ministry of Rites in the future."

Li Gefei bowed to leave: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."

I just don't know how long this officer can do...

After leaving Miyagi, it was already noon, and Li Gefei was not in a hurry to report to the Ministry of Rites.

After all, the Ministry of Officials gave him three days in the writing, and he was not in a hurry.

He sat on the sedan chair, his expression somber all the way, until the sedan chair returned to his house, and someone shouted outside, then he came back to his senses.

"Master?"

Seeing his serious face, Li Wangshi thought that there was an accident on this trip, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that something went wrong today?"

Li Gefei raised his head, glanced at Li Qingzhao who came to welcome him together, his heart was complicated, he couldn't tell what his mood was, he just sighed faintly.

"What's wrong? Father?" Li Qingzhao hurried up to help him, and the whole family was startled.

Mrs. Zhou asked nervously: "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? You should say something!"

Li Wang hurriedly said: "Yes, master, aren't you trying to kill someone in a hurry?"

"fine."

Seeing that his wife and daughter were like this, Li Gefei couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Things are going well, and all the documents from the Ministry of Officials have been approved. I also went to meet His Majesty, and I can take office at any time."

"Whoo~"

Hearing that nothing went wrong, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wang couldn't help but grabbed his arm, pinched it lightly, and said coquettishly: "It's obviously fine, but you are doing this to scare people!" But he forgot that his daughter was beside him.

However, Li Gefei had no time to flirt with his old wife at the moment, he just sighed, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the study.

The family looked confused.

After lunch, Li Wang came to the study with a warm meal, opened the door and went in.

In the study room with elegant and simple decoration, tall varnished pine bookshelves are displayed, and there are a bunch of thread-bound books on them.

The study of the Li family can be said to be full of animals, with a huge collection of books.

And these books are not simply placed here, almost every book has traces of flipping through.

Mrs. Li carried the mahogany food box and came to the depths of the study, only to find her husband sitting behind the table, shaking his head and sighing.

Li Wangshi slowed down, put the food on the table lightly, then came to him, gently pinched his shoulders for him, and asked softly: "Master, what's wrong with today's matter?"

"There is nothing wrong..."

Feeling the warm touch coming from behind, Li Gefei only felt that it was worth it no matter how tired he was, and subconsciously had a desire to confide.

"Then why is Mr. Xiang so troubled?"

Li Wang looked at him curiously.

Li Gefei opened his mouth, subconsciously as if pouring out all the troubles of today to his wife.

Just as the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor in the Political Affairs Hall of Ziwei Palace today.

Li Gefei's lips moved a few times, but finally he shook his head with a bitter expression on his face: "My lady...it's not that I don't want to talk to you about it, it's just that I can't..."

Seeing him like this, Li Wang's heart ached for a while, and she couldn't help wrapping her arms around her husband's forehead: "I don't have to force you, but I'm afraid that you will hold it in your heart and ruin yourself."

Li Gefei shook his head with a wry smile. He himself didn't know what to do in this situation.

I can only take a step first, take a look...

July, which was soaked in hot steam, is over, and August is gradually coming to the scene, gradually coming to the golden autumn season when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant and the top shell of crabs is fat.

However, the Dagan capital is still extremely hot, and the heat will not subside until the end of August.

For many candidates who came to the capital to prepare for the exam, entering August means that the pace of the rural exam is approaching.

At this time, some people choose to continue studying hard and bury their heads in the scriptures. Some people think that they have studied hard for more than ten years or even decades, and it is useless to review the books at this time.

It's hard to say which idea is good and which is bad because it represents two different kinds of people...

Scholars in t-shirts hang out in various luxury restaurants and entertainment venues, and the Xianjia Restaurant in Dongshi is also a very famous restaurant. Every autumn, the limelight here even surpasses Huabao Tower.

It's just because their crabs are the fattest, and they are shipped directly from the Yangtze River.

Now that the canal is blocked, boats are not available, but the supply of crabs in Xianjialou has not been cut off, and many old people in the capital are still able to feast on them.

Of course, at this price... everyone understands it.

At the beginning of night, when the lights are on, there are long rivers of lights floating in the huge capital city, which is beautiful and magnificent.

It's just such a grand scene, but it won't last long, because when the day is over, there will be a curfew.

Li Gan, the old eunuch, and Lu Bu were sitting in the private room by the window on the third floor of Xianjia Building. Li Gan was holding silver chopsticks indistinctly, playing with a fat crab, and his mouth was full of red crab oil.

Originally, the Xianjia Building could provide each guest in the private room with a maidservant who eats crabs. Su holds a silver spoon and digs out the crab meat like silver buds and crab roe like golden paste, and feeds them to the guests. , Don't be fancy, even if many literati and poets spend an extra ten taels of silver, they still have to invite such a girl...

It's just that Li Gan disliked that the handmaids were too slow in digging crabs, and he couldn't wait to eat, so he drove them all out.

"Master, is this crab still fit?"

The old eunuch smirked and asked: "If it's okay, the old slave will send someone to the house every day."

After eating a crab claw, Li Gan shook his head: "Although this thing is good, you can't eat too much."

"Besides, the food at home doesn't taste like this anymore."

It’s okay to just try this new thing once in a while, but if you eat too much of this stuff, you will get gout.

Lu Bu was not used to such fine things, and always said that there was not much meat in them, so he only ate one symbolically, and stopped eating more. Instead, he ran to the window and condescended to look at it. The next big girl and little daughter-in-law come.

"That little lady seems to be okay, so is the one in green..."

The old eunuch was very upset by his muttering, but Li Gan didn't say anything, so it was hard for him to criticize him aloud.

Suddenly, Lu Bu yelled, and the old eunuch almost jumped off his chair in shock.

"Are you suffering from epilepsy?" The old eunuch couldn't bear it anymore and glared at him.

Lu Bu ignored him, and looked straight at Li Gan: "Father, I saw Xing Daorong!"

"Ok?"

Li Gan, who was wiping his hands with a hot towel, was taken aback for a moment, then got up and walked to the window, and looked down: "Where is it?"

"That's the one, the biggest one." Lu Bu hurriedly pointed to him.

Li Gan looked in the direction he pointed and saw Xing Daorong.

I saw him wearing a coarse linen clothes, tall and big, with a beard, carrying a small oiled paper bag, walking leisurely.

"Since we met today, please invite him to come up and talk about it."

Li Gan said with a smile.

No matter how he helped himself and others last time, this kindness cannot be forgotten.

"Okay sir, I'm going down now."

Lu Bu immediately rushed out of the room and ran downstairs in large strides.

Li Gan saw him running out of the Xianjia Tower and catching up with Xing Daorong. The two of them didn't know what to say, so Xing Daorong followed Lu Bu to this side with a smile.

"Master, I have invited this strong man Xing!"

Before the door of the private room opened, Lu Bu's loud voice was heard inside.

After the door was opened, Lu Bu led Xing Daorong in loudly.

As soon as Xing Daorong put the oil paper bag away, he bowed his hands to Li Gan and the old eunuch: "You guys, long time no see."

"Please sit down."

Li Gan smiled and asked him to sit down: "I was very grateful for the rescue of the strong man that day. I haven't seen the strong man after searching for many days. I don't want to meet today, it's really fate!"

As he spoke, he ordered the servants in the shop: "Add another pot of crabs, make some hot dishes, and bring two jugs of wine."

Now that there are leftovers on the table, it would be too impolite to invite others to eat.

"Strong Xing, sit down quickly."

Li Gan looked Xing Daorong up and down, and found that he was the same as the previous few days, so he was a little relieved. It seems that he didn't suffer that day.

"Why are you so polite?"

Xing Daorong sat down loudly, picked up a crab casually, broke the crab shell, gnawed it up, and muttered as he ate it: "I saved you, it's not the meal I planned? No more If you want, just eat whatever you want!"

As he spoke, he also unwrapped the greased paper bag, revealing a pile of red pig's blood inside, which he picked up with his thick fingers and threw it into his mouth.

"Brother Xing is really righteous!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked at him even more pleasingly, looked him up and down, and opened his mouth to speak.

Seeing this, Li Qian secretly thought that something was wrong, he had been wandering outside a lot these days, and he had seen Lu Bu's temper before.

Domineering, likes to learn from others and compete with others.

If he proposed to compete with Xing Daorong again, it would be bad.

Look at this, Lu Bu has already regarded him as an evenly matched opponent, if he used too much force when he made a move, it would be bad.

He hurriedly changed the subject with a smile: "Xing Zhuangshi, the gangsters in the streets that day must not be your opponents, right?"

"That's natural!"

When Xing Daorong heard this, while chewing on the crab legs, he happily described it to Li Gan.

"After you left that day, those little hooligans attacked together, but they are just a few bits and pieces, so how can they be our all-in-one enemy?"

He patted his chest with his big oily hands, and said with a big smile, "First, a hideous little thief with scars on his face attacked me. I hit him with a stick, and then there was another gust of wind from behind..."

Xing Daorong immediately told the three of them about the situation that day.

His eloquence is not bad, he works harder than the storyteller in the restaurant, he speaks vividly, and when he gets excited, he throws down the crab in his hand and gestures together in the private room, almost recreating the happy scene of that day.

Li Qian nodded slightly while listening, thinking that after all, he still has some foundations, and a group of gangsters really can't do anything to him.

Lu Bu's blood boiled even more when he heard it, and he wished that the group of gangsters would appear in front of him now and let him clean up.

"After knocking down more than 20 of them, the last few gangsters were frightened by my aura and didn't dare to move, so they knelt on the ground and kept saying things like 'hero, grandpa, spare your life'."

Xing Daorong was frothing, stepped on the chair with one foot, raised his hand while talking and waving: "Walking the rivers and lakes, what you want is loyalty, seeing that they have already known their mistakes, I don't want to kill them all, I am about to turn around and leave! "

"But at this moment, that hooligan suddenly bullied me, and the fierce stick wind hit me directly behind my head, and I didn't stop..."

The plot he told was ups and downs, and the three of Li Gan were stunned when they heard it, holding their breath for a while, worried about what happened to him.

It wasn't until he heard that Xing Daorong had dealt with all those little bastards that he heaved a sigh of relief.

"it is good!"

Lu Bu was full of passion and had nowhere to vent, he slammed the heavy pine table and stood up abruptly.

"This kind of unbelievers should be like Brother Xing, let them look good!"

"Brother Lu is indeed a bosom friend." Xing Daorong also returned to his seat, laughed and began to eat crabs and pig blood.

Li Qian also laughed at the side, the two got along so well, it seemed that there would be no fighting.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lu Bu made an appointment.

"Brother Xing, after hearing your bravery, I yearn for admiration, why don't you just compete here?"

Lu Bu's hands were itchy and eager to fight, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

Li Gan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Fengxian, strong man Xing is eating now, how can he compete with you."

After being told by Li Gan, Lu Bu recovered from the state of enthusiasm, realized something was wrong, and kept scratching his head.

"Master, I..."

"It's okay, I'll finish eating now!" Xing Daorong ate two more bites of the crab that Xiao Er sent.

Li Qian was speechless, he had never heard of anyone who was about to be beaten.

It's just that he couldn't watch him being hammered by Lu Bu after all, so he said again: "This is the private room of Xianjia Building, a place to eat, and it's not suitable for competition..."

"It's okay."

Xing Daorong threw away the half-gnawed crab in his hand, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and stood up: "Go to my house!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and was about to agree, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly looked at Li Gan.

"This……"

In order to prevent Xing Daorong from being beaten up, Li Gan has gone to great lengths.

"Xing Zhuangshi, the curfew is about to come. If I go to your house again, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. If I get caught by the sergeant at night, I will be in trouble..."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, it seemed to be the same reason!

But Xing Daorong was also a little impatient with Li Qian's mother-in-law, so he patted his chest and said: "I think Brother Lu is also a bold and chivalrous person, why don't you go to my house to compete in three days' time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qian felt that he really had no reason to procrastinate any longer, so he could only sigh and nodded to Lu Bu.

"Okay, I can't ask for it!" Lu Bu was overjoyed immediately, excited to meet a match-matched opponent.

"One battle in three days!"

After several people left the restaurant, Xing Daorong let out a long laugh, bid farewell to several people, then turned around and walked away freely, blending into the bustling crowd.

Lu Bu's eyes were filled with admiration: "Brother Xing, he is highly skilled in martial arts, straightforward in his actions, and really a romantic man!"

Li Gan sighed softly, I hope you will still think so in three days...

The three of them also turned around, merged into the lively flow of lights and people, and headed towards the palace.

It's night, Jingyang Hall, Qiushui Pavilion.

Li Gan embraced Xi Shi's slender willow waist, and sat with her in front of the window. The two of them looked at the night sky outside the window, the stars twinkled and the bright moon hung high.

The cool wind blows the window screen and shakes it gently.

"His Majesty……"

Feeling the movement of Li Gan's hands, Xi Shi blushed, and twisted her delicate body uneasily in his arms, but she didn't want this movement, which made Li Gan hug her even tighter.

"Ah~"

Li Qian looked at the light like water and stars, and sighed faintly: "My concubine, I remember, is your home in Zhuluo Village, Yue Kingdom?"

Xi Shi was startled, and when she mentioned her hometown, she forgot the heat beneath her for a moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

She lowered her head, and said softly: "I was originally a girl in the village, and I am grateful to His Majesty's love, so I can have today."

Li Gan shook his head slightly, looking down at her beautiful and flawless face: "Natural beauty is hard to give up on. My concubine was born like a fairy in the sky. Even if I don't exist, she must be extraordinary."

It's not that Xi Shi hasn't been praised for her appearance before, but now the person who said this has a different identity, so the feeling is naturally different.

Her pretty face blushed, and her hands on Li Qian's chest softened a little: "Does Your Majesty really think so?"

Li Gan nodded, still looking at the starry sky outside the window: "At this moment, the forbidden army of the imperial court must have almost arrived in Wu Kingdom? I am worried about whether the forbidden army will have enough food and clothing!"

Xi Shi is a native of Yue, and she also hoped that the Imperial Guards would capture Wu and save Yue as soon as possible. She had long been looking forward to such a day.

"Your Majesty is worried about the country and the war, and I can't do it..."

Xi Shifen's face became more and more red, and she could clearly feel that fiery big hand along her smooth calf, caressing her knee.

She glanced at His Majesty the Emperor suspiciously, seeing that he still had a serious face and worried about the country, she began to doubt herself again.

Could it be that I feel wrong?
Xi Shi was in a daze, always feeling that her little brain was not enough.

But at the next moment, her pretty face turned red like blood, and she hastily pressed down His Majesty's evil hand.

"His Majesty……"

Xishi sounded like a mosquito, and limp in His Majesty's arms, continued to struggle feebly, trying to change the subject: "Your Majesty, can the first battle of the Imperial Army attack Wu be successful?"

However, Li Gan embraced her soft waist, walked towards the bed with a smile: "My concubine doesn't know anything about military affairs, so I'll do what I can tonight. Let me make up for you."

He came to the bed, put down the curtain, and said softly: "The first art of war I taught you is to shed the golden cicada's shell..."

When Li Gan worked tirelessly to give Xi Shi extra lessons overnight, the generals of the imperial court who were far away in Chen Guo also held an art of war lesson in their tents.

Unlike in the capital, there are a lot of people attending classes here, and the roles of teachers and students are also confused.

Everyone wants to be a teacher of others, not a student. The result of this struggle is that the generals instill knowledge in others for a while, and are instilled by others for a while...

In the military tent, the lights were brightly lit, and high-ranking generals in solid armor sat around them, with a huge map of mountains and rivers placed between them.

"Everyone."

Yang Su, the general of the left-leading army, looked around: "If you want to take Xuyi, you must first go to Sizhou."

"However, everyone is also aware that the Ten Guards Imperial Army consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and must march quickly to obtain food and grass from Yue."

While he was panting after finishing his sentence, Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy general and temporary leader of Zuo Weiwei, hurried in and said, "That's right, Sizhou is just a mere place, why should the imperial army stop here?"

"Leave one guard to attack, and the rest of the soldiers and horses can continue to advance!"

General Wei Chigong of Zuo Wuwei didn't open his mouth before, but now he has been filled by the first two... Knowledge of the art of war, his face flushed and said: "What you two said is very true, but which guard do you want to keep? Everyone Any insight?"

General Han Qinhu of You Xiaowei looked around for a week, and suddenly said: "Why don't I, You Xiaowei, capture Sizhou, and the generals continue to march?"

There is only one idiom to describe the fight against Wu this time, that is, there are more wolves and less meat.

There are many soldiers and horses, but few credits.

The capture of Sizhou must be the crowning achievement of this war, which everyone wants to fight for.

Han Qinhu's nephew is Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so he feels that he is qualified to compete for this first achievement

But the others are not to be outdone, who would give up on such a great achievement?

"General Han, You Xiaowei is powerful, and being bound to Sizhou is really a loss to the imperial court. Good steel is used on the blade. You should march quickly and capture Xuyi!" General Zuo Xiaowei Yang Ye advised.

"That's right, the matter of capturing Sizhou should be left to our Youweiwei!" It was Su Dingfang, the general of Youweiwei who spoke.

Others also interrupted one after another, and for a while, the tent became lively and noisy.

However, the imperial court naturally understood the danger of a group of dragons without a leader, so it was decided before sending out troops. This battle was led by Yu Chigong, Zhao Kuangyi and Yang Su, who were initially determined.

When in doubt, the three discuss and decide.

Zhao Kuangyi frowned and watched the noise of many generals in the palace, coughed lightly twice, but no one answered him.

As a result, his already dark face suddenly became darker.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Yu Chigong slammed the table twice, it was still his way, and the many quarreling generals also knew that it was not an option to continue the quarrel, so they slowly stopped talking.

But before he could speak, Zhao Kuangyi interrupted again: "Generals, Zuo Weiwei is more suitable to attack Sizhou!"

When he said this, he stared at the topography of Sizhou on the map in the middle, and at the river named Shiliang River. It seemed that there was a fate guiding Zhao Er in the dark.

Make sure to get to that place!
