Horse on the World

Chapter 237 East Wind and West Wind

Shang Haibo was invited to his study alone by Li Qing. Li Qing needed Shang Haibo to discuss many things with him, and Shang Haibo wanted to have a talk with Li Qing. Obtaining Fuzhou, the power is getting bigger and bigger, and the chances for the two of them to talk alone are getting less and less, and they are both very busy.

Tang Hu served tea for the two of them, then turned around and went out, closed the door, and stood at the door holding his waist knife. He also knew that when the commander-in-chief and Shang Canjun talked alone, most of them were about very important issues , Although it is in the Marshal's Mansion, who can guarantee that there is not a single nail in the Marshal's Mansion?
Picking up Tang Hu's strong tea with almost half a cup of tea leaves, Shang Haibo frowned and took a sip, then shook his head and said, "Huzi still thinks that the more tea leaves, the better?"

Li Qing laughed, "His concept is deeply ingrained and difficult to correct. You can see who is more important in his heart by watching the tea he makes. The more important people in his heart, the more tea leaves he puts in."

Shang Haibo couldn't help laughing, "In that case, I'm still very honored, Marshal, isn't the teacup he gave you just tea leaves?"

Both of them laughed loudly, the originally serious atmosphere became much more relaxed after this episode.

"Marshal, you came to me alone today, is it..." Shang Haibo asked.

Li Qing nodded: "I know that Mr. Shang also wants to talk to me, and there are some things that I want Mr. to discuss for me. Two issues and one issue. Seeing that the war is getting closer day by day, some things need to be planned in advance. "

Shang Haibo put down the teacup in his hand, sat upright, with a sharp sharpness between his eyes, he said in a concentrated voice: "Commander, since this is the case, Haibo will offend today."

Li Qing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's okay, open the window and speak honestly, if our two minds cannot be unified, there will be endless troubles."

"Well, the commander-in-chief also knows what I want to say. It's about Qingfeng."

Li Qing put the tea bowl on the table beside him, and said calmly: "Mr. Shang may as well speak out."

"Director Qingfeng's ability is unquestionable. This is something that Shang admires very much. I think it is an understatement to say that she is a woman who does not give in to men. She can make most men bow their heads in admiration. We will The state can have today, and her contribution cannot be denied."

Li Qing smiled and said nothing, Shang Haibo raised his voice first and then suppressed it, the latter words would definitely be unpleasant.

"However, Marshal, I want to ask you, do you want to be a vassal and stay here forever, or do you have a bigger ambition?" Looking at Li Qing with piercing eyes, he clenched his hands into fists , trembling slightly, seemed to be very excited.

"Chu loses its deer, and those who are capable chase it. If I am qualified to participate, why don't I do it?" Li Qing said calmly.

"Okay!" Shang Haibo yelled, "Since the commander-in-chief has such ambitions, then Director Qingfeng's problem has to be resolved as soon as possible."

"Solve what?" Li Qing asked pretending to be puzzled.

Shang Haibo couldn't help but choked, the commander is pretending to be confused while pretending to understand! ~
"Marshal, if Director Qingfeng is not your woman, then she is undoubtedly very competent and excellent as the director of the Statistics and Investigation Department, but if she is your woman, absolutely not."

"Marshal, have you ever thought that if one day you succeed in your great career, where will Director Qingfeng be? Shang made it clear that by then, Director Qingfeng will be your first A woman, her position is so precious that even your wife will look up to her at that time, in the harem, the master is weak and the minister is strong, and the source of disaster is one of them."

"Secondly, if Director Qingfeng has the son of a marshal, with the ability of Director Qingfeng, wouldn't he seek a higher position for his son, and where will your son-in-law be? Brother Ni Yuqiang, Misfortune occurs in an instant. The second is the second."

"Thirdly, Marshal, can you not see that Director Qingfeng has a shadow in the army? The power of the Statistics and Investigation Department is already extremely high. If Director Qingfeng has power in the army again, Who will be able to control it in the future, I'm afraid that when the commander-in-chief wants to do something, it will be too late, and it will be too late."

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Li Qing asked calmly.

Shang Haibo hesitated for a moment, but he finally failed to say the words that had been circling in his mind, "Marshal, this requires your decision, Qingfeng, either you are a simple woman, or you are a simple subordinate, the second You can’t have both.”

Li Qing smiled, but Shang Haibo didn't say that in the end, stood up, took a package of things from a shelf behind him, handed it to Shang Haibo, and said, "Look for yourself! "

Shang Haibo opened the paper bag suspiciously, and asked in surprise, "Chinese medicine?"

"Mr. Shang studied Confucianism, so he must have some understanding of the basic medicine ideals. Why don't you take a look at what the medicine dregs are?"

Shang Haibo carefully identified it, and he was even more puzzled, and said: "Commander, this is a prescription for women to prevent pregnancy. Where did the commander come from?"

Li Qingdao: "I got this from Director Qingfeng of the Statistics and Investigation Department."

Shocked, Shang Haibo raised his head and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and said quietly: "Mr. Shang, you are underestimating me. Of course, the Statistics and Investigation Department was built by Qingfeng, and everyone up and down is her confidant, but I think It’s still effortless to avoid her and get something.”

"Master!" Shang Haibo looked at Li Qing in shock.

Li Qing sneered and said: "Qingfeng has been with me for more than two years, and she has never shown any signs of pregnancy. I thought it was because of the torture she suffered back then, but how could this be the case? Mr. Shang, she has already thought of the problem you are worried about." gone."

Shang Haibo said gruffly: "This woman... this woman..."

"Hmph, but it is true that Qingfeng stretched her hand into the army. No matter what her intentions are, this cannot be allowed. Mr. Shang, you don't have to worry too much about Qingfeng. There is a way to deal with it."

"But Commander, Director Qingfeng now knows how to avoid suspicion, but it doesn't mean that she will be able to do so in the future. Although I don't understand why she did this, based on what I know about her, this matter will never be so simple. !” Shang Haibo shook his head.

Li Qing smiled slightly, he knew it, but he absolutely couldn't tell Shang Haibo.

"Mr. Shang, don't push Qingfeng too hard. The tighter you push, the higher she will rebound. As for Qingfeng's power in the army, I have already dealt with it. Well, Deng Peng is a sensible person on the navy side. He won't get involved, that Yin Hua!" Li Qing sneered, "I don't know the heights of heaven and earth, so don't worry about it, sir."

"As for Guo Shanfeng, Mr. Shang, although Guo Shanfeng was born as a bandit, he is very talented. He is very shrewd and knows the importance."

Shang Haibo nodded and said: "Yes, since the commander-in-chief has already taken precautions, it is Haibo who is worrying too much!"

Li Qing laughed. Shang Haibo's suppression of Qingfeng might not have worried that Qingfeng's strength was too strong. Coupled with Qingfeng's special relationship with him, he was even more worried.The other big faction, Lu Dalin, can only protect itself, and there is no threat to any party in the Dingzhou Group. Shang Haibo and Qingfeng, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

"The east wind can't overwhelm the west wind, and the west wind can't overwhelm the east wind. This is the truth!" Li Qing laughed in his heart. Lu Dalin's family has inherent defects in the Dingzhou Group, and they can't compete with any party at all. They defeated Qingfeng. How do Shang Haibo and others check and balance?Shang Haibo is the number two person in Dingzhou other than himself.

"Let's stop this matter, Mr. Shang, I came to you to discuss about Princess Qingcheng!" Li Qing said. "An Guogong has sent news that the royal family has decided to marry Princess Qingcheng in October this year, and an imperial decree will be passed to Dingzhou in a few days."

"So early?" Shang Haibo said in surprise, "Now we are fighting Bayar, and the decisive battle is imminent. How can we spare time at this time to let the commander marry you?"

Li Qing said with a smile: "Tianqi is in a hurry. He is afraid that after two years, Fuzhou will be in my hands, let me become powerful, and Princess Qingcheng will marry. It is just to restrain me. For other factors, Mr. An said, there are other people contributing to this matter."

Shang Haibo blinked his eyes and said, "These people have another purpose?"

"Of course, did you know? An Guogong has another news that will surprise you even more!"

"Great Chu's palace guards will have 500 people as dowry, and they will come to Dingzhou together!"

Shang Haibo stood up suddenly: "500 palace guards? Well, this is half of the entire palace guards. What does this mean? You want to control Fuzhou and influence Dingzhou with these [-] people. Fantastic, no, no, there must be something else in it, who made this attention? Who can benefit from this attention?"

Li Qingdao: "Yes, who can benefit from this attention? The Palace Guard ordered 500 people and left [-]. Of course, [-] people need to be added. Where do you make up? Of course, the first choice is the Imperial Forest Army, the Imperial Forest Army In whose hands is it now?"

After slapping the table, Shang Haibo said loudly: "Xiao family, is this notice from the Xiao family?"

Li Qing laughed loudly: "This attention was not made by the Xiao family, but it was the current empress and the Xiang clan who pushed Tianqi to make up his mind. Of course, Duke An also strongly agreed."

Shang Haibo's face darkened, "In this way, the Xiao family and the Xiang family have formed an alliance, and His Majesty the Emperor is in danger!"

"Of course, the Xiang family has a prince in hand."

"Would you like to warn His Majesty the emperor, it's not the time for Da Chu to be hurt!" Shang Haibo was a little worried.

"No!" Li Qing stood up, "Let them move, no matter whether they want to blackmail the emperor to order the princes, or start a new stove, it will provide an excellent excuse for our future plans. Why is it that knowing that there are ghosts in it, but still strongly agreeing with it, Duke An will bid his old age to His Majesty the Emperor and return home when the princess is married."

Shang Haibo raised his head and looked at Li Qing, "That is to say, the drastic changes in Great Chu will be this winter at the latest."

"That's right!" Li Qing said, "So, we have to determine the general trend of the grassland battle in winter. Only when the general situation of the grassland is determined, can we spare time to plan other things."

"This is difficult!" Shang Haibo shook his head.

"Send a message to Guo Shanfeng that he must attack Congling Pass in early August. Qingfeng will keep an eye on Fu Sen. When Guo Shanfeng enters Congling Pass, he must make a decision."
