Chapter 670

Li Xian didn't pretend to be a corporal, and Liu Hongji didn't pretend to be a loyal minister or martyr. It was a bit too much to say that they hit it off, but the conversation was actually not complicated or difficult.Liu Hongji needed a step down, so Li Xian gave him one.Liu Hongji needed a step to enter, and Li Xian gave him another one.

This is what each needs, simple and direct.

The only thing that made Liu Hongji feel a little uncomfortable was that after the concentrated conversation was over, he realized that the majestic general of the Yanyun Army's heavily armored Modao Battalion must be Xiong Kuohai, who was going to be the Duke of the Jin Dynasty. Where did he find a tree branch, barefoot, rolled up his trousers and stepped into the small pond. In just a short while, he stabbed six or seven koi in the pond to death, each of which weighed four or five catties. I don't know how many years it took for wild koi to grow so big. The previous owner of this house might have put in a lot of thought, but they were all stabbed to death by Xiong Kuohai, who was so rough.

Liu Hongji was a little tangled that a person of such a status still had such a childlike playfulness.

"My lord, this carp is obviously raised in the wild, it's fat and oily!"

Xiong Kuohai raised a bloody fish and shouted at Li Xian.

Li Xian took a look at Xiong Kuohai and said angrily, "Violence!"

Xiong Kuohai was taken aback, and Liu Hongji was taken aback.

What Liu Hongji was surprised was that the King of Yan still knows the goods, such a light golden koi is sold, and a live fish is worth a tael of gold. If you meet someone who likes this thing, it won't be a problem to sell it for a higher price.The most important thing is that for koi viewing and pond games, what is needed is this elegance, but Xiong Kuo Hai was stabbed to death with a broken tree branch, which is indeed a waste of money.

It's just that Li Xian's next sentence stunned Liu Hongji even more.

Li Xian walked quickly to Xiong Kuohai's side, looked at the koi in his hand, and couldn't help but scolded, "It's already rotten like this, how can I eat it?"

Xiong Kuohai lowered his head like a child who has done something wrong. Seeing this scene, Liu Hongji couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth a few times.

Before leaving Liu Hongji's house, Li Xian took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to him, saying calmly: "This is a scald medicine made by the Second Department of Military Inspection and Guards. The wound on your face is almost healed, but use this Maybe something can keep your face from discoloration, and it won’t look good after being burned, or it can be useful to you.”

Love of beauty is a woman's nature, but it is definitely not a woman's patent. Liu Hong is basically a person with a good demeanor and good looks. If this face is ruined, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.

After receiving the medicine bottle thrown by Li Xian, Liu Hongji bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me the medicine."

He was holding the porcelain bottle, his hands were slightly cold, but he didn't know what was wrong, it was this small bottle of burn medicine that warmed his heart a lot.

Li Xian smiled and walked out of the courtyard, and went back to the residence without staying any longer.Now that he has a special status, he will naturally not live in the Qi Palace.The new emperor Li Chengde begged Li Xian to live in the Taiji Palace, but Li Xian did not agree.Even if everyone knows that Li Chengde is just a puppet, there is still a minimum of respect for the emperor, even if this respect is indeed too false.

He lived in the Tiance General's Mansion, which was the former yamen of the Bingbei Mansion in Chang'an City.

When he returned to Tiance's General's Mansion, Zhang Gongjin, the new minister of the Ministry of War, was already waiting for him here.Li Xian got out of the carriage and saw Zhang Gongjin standing respectfully at the door, nodded slightly and walked into the yard.The yamen of Bingbei Mansion occupies a huge area, even if it is not much smaller than Miyagi.At most, [-] soldiers were stationed in the yamen of Bingbeifu, which shows that the yamen occupies a large area.

Walking all the way to the study room along the corridor, Zhang Gongjin followed behind him step by step, with a respectful attitude and a solemn expression.

"The minister sent someone to check the inventory of the Ministry of War overnight, and then went to the Ministry of Households to check the treasury of the Ministry of Households with Fang Xuanling, the minister of the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of War has enough armor, weapons, and clothing to equip 20 troops. The Ministry of Households has money and food It's not a problem either. Moreover, the Xingluo warehouse is under the control of Datang. Although it was often used during times of war, there are still at least 500 million shi of grain in the Xingluo warehouse. Most of them are still full, which is enough for the court to use troops.”

"I'll let Liu Hongji find you in the future, and you can allocate all the troops you need to him."

Li Xian sat down on the chair, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Famine is still raging for hundreds of miles around Chang'an. Naturally, we need relief. At least the victims need two meals a day. The need is huge. The important place in the east of the river, the location It's extremely important, the people especially don't mess up, so we have to send food over there. The orphan will mobilize the navy to transport the food, and the affairs of the people are no small matter, so when you go back, ask Fang Xuanling to be careful, and don't miss it."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhang Gongjin nodded.

He used the word Zunzhi, which obviously transcended the etiquette.

"Don't test anything in front of Gu, and don't play your cleverness."

Li Xian glanced at him and said in a flat tone: "The emperor is in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City. If you want to obey the order, you can go to the palace. If your thoughts are all on this, how can Gu feel relieved to use you?"

Zhang Gongjin blushed, and lowered his head embarrassingly.

……

……

"Hexi, Guanlong counties, these places are all important."

Li Xian didn't want to get entangled in the topic just now. After drinking a sip of tea, he continued: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you come to propose a few candidates for Gu. There are at least 10 people in Taiyuan County, and the counties of Guanlong also have [-] people. Don't underestimate... who can go, and if you go, you can make meritorious deeds?"

"I thought that..."

Zhang Gongjin thought for a while and said: "The aristocratic families of the Guanlong counties and the generals of the Taiyuan garrison should not suppress these people now, but appease them. Therefore, it is not appropriate to send generals to lead the army to prevent unnecessary disturbances. Trouble. Especially those aristocratic families in the Guanlong counties are waiting and watching. If the pressure is too hard, it will not be conducive to the stability of the court."

"That's a good word."

Li Xian nodded and said, "Who can serve as an envoy to stabilize the northwest for Gu?"

"There must be one or two court officials."

Zhang Gongjin pondered for a while and said: "The counties of Guanlong, you can invite Mr. Pei Ji to come. After the Supreme Emperor raised his troops from Taiyuan, all the families in Guanlong were contacted by Mr. Pei Ji. If you invite him to go, those noble families will naturally understand Your Highness. Intention. No matter how much you appease, it will not be a problem for the Guanlong counties to stabilize. As for Taiyuan County... I think the most suitable candidate..."

"She can't."

Before Zhang Gongjin could finish speaking, Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Change someone else."

Zhang Gongjin was stunned, and sighed in his heart.

"Other than that, the one I think is most suitable is Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Xiao."

He glanced at Li Xian and saw His Royal Highness King Yan's face was normal before continuing: "Xiao is the closest to the Tian family, he is regarded as a royal relative, and his position is high enough to represent His Royal Highness. But... there are [-] people in Taiyuan County. Dajun, I told the truth, I was worried that Xiao would have a different heart."

Li Xian didn't speak, just nodded slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing that King Yan did not object to his idea, Zhang Gongjin pondered for a while and continued: "This person's attitude is not clear yet. If he is assigned such a heavy responsibility, if he has any dirty thoughts after he arrives in Taiyuan, he will join forces with the Taiyuan defenders to make plans." If this is the case, although it will not shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid it will also affect His Highness's use of troops against the Eastern Capital and Hebei."

"At the beginning, Xiao strongly praised Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the crown prince. Now Li Shimin is still in Jingxiang area, and Li Xiaogong is also there. The combined strength of the two men can't be less than [-]. If Xiao rebelled in Taiyuan, echo Li Shimin, one south and one north, If Your Highness wants to eradicate the evil, it will be quite difficult to deploy troops."

"An old saying."

Li Xian nodded and said: "You go back to the Ministry of War first, as for sending someone to Taiyuan, think about it later."

"My minister retire."

Zhang Gongjin bowed and exited the study, thinking of the killing intent that flashed in King Yan's eyes just now when he said that the man was the most suitable, he is still afraid now, the cold sweat on his back was blown by the wind and stuck to his body, which was particularly uncomfortable Comfortable.

He originally wanted to say that there is no one suitable to go to Taiyuan except Princess Pingyang.But Li Xian refused so decisively that he didn't dare to speak any further.

After Zhang Gongjin left, Li Xian remembered the drunken woman on the wall of Xuanwu Gate, sighed slightly, and sighed in his heart that I didn't pay you any favors, I already felt guilty, how could I force you to Are you going to do something else?There is not much I can give you, live a quiet and peaceful life, this is what I can do my best to give you.

……

……

After sitting in the study for half a day, dealing with some urgent affairs, Li Xian sat up straight and stretched his body, got up and walked to the window and opened the window, the cool evening breeze came in, feeling comfortable on his body Quite a lot.There was a thick stack of memorials on his desk, and these things never entered the Imperial Study Room of Tai Chi Palace.

He glanced back at the memorials and frowned slightly. Among the sixty or seventy memorials, more than half were officials exposing and reporting each other, which was disturbing to watch.These people are still testing his bottom line, which makes Li Xian somewhat displeased.

Standing at the window to take a few breaths of outside air, I saw Ye Huaishu leading Jia'er into the yard slowly.Li Xian twitched his lips, opened the door and walked out.

"The concubine has seen the lord."

Seeing Li Xian coming out, Ye Huaixiu and Jiaer smiled and saluted.Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Li Xian smiled and said, "It's fine for you to call yourself a minister or a concubine, but it's not good to be born together."

Ye Huaixiu's face turned red slightly, and instead of taking this sentence, he took out a secret letter from his cuff and handed it to Li Xian, saying: "There is news from the grassland, and it was sent by Qingqing."
