My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 587

Before Li Zhi met him, he had actually made up a lot of homework with his mother and asked her to tell a lot about Cheng Zhijie.

I'm afraid that when I meet Cheng Zhijie, some jokes will be made, after all, this is a close minister of the father and queen, so it's not good to make jokes with him.

In the past, Li Zhi was actually more or less influenced by some film and television dramas. When he came to Datang, he realized that the history in movies and television is different from that recorded in history books, and it is even a reversal of black and white.

The film and television dramas of the later generations have really washed some people, such as the gang of Man Qing's elder brother Gege.It also discredited many people, so I won’t mention this.The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom!

When we met at this time, Cheng Zhijie was really courteous and thoughtful, and Li Zhi didn't see anything similar to the movies and TV shows in him.

Even his name, TV and movies are generally called Cheng Yaojin, but in Datang, whenever Li Zhi heard someone call his name, it was always Cheng Zhijie, and he had never heard anyone call him Cheng Yaojin.

When the father and queen saw him, they also called him A Chou to show their closeness, but they didn't call him Yaojin.

At this time, the queen mother also patted Cheng Zhijie's shoulder familiarly, and called Ah Chou. Obviously, the relationship between the two is very good. If it weren't for this, the movement of patting the shoulder and the nickname of A Chou would not be able to be called out. of.

This is full of civil and military affairs in the court, and he has a personal relationship with his father, this Cheng Achou should be No. 1.Cheng Zhijie also contributed a lot to his father being able to ascend the throne.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the former emperor passed away, and Zhijie is still in office, so he cannot return to Chang'an. I am really ashamed and uncomfortable."

"Ah Chou, you have known Ben Gong and the late emperor for so long, he has knowledge and will understand your difficulties."

"This time Zhijie returns to Chang'an, I want to go to the tomb of the first emperor to pay homage."

"This is what it should be. Tomorrow the Japanese Palace will be arranged by someone."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

Li Zhi stood aside, watching his mother talking to Cheng Zhijie, after a while Cheng Zhijie bowed to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Zhijie has heard on the way that His Majesty called Zhijie back to Chang'an this time because of the Anxi matter."

"Where did you hear that, General?"

Cheng Zhijie's complexion changed slightly. In fact, he didn't really hear this, but someone told him specially.Obviously, when His Majesty asked this question, he gave him a slight nod.

"I called the general back this time, not to let the general travel thousands of miles. The border of the Tang Dynasty is stable at this time, and it is far from the point where the general should go."

"Ah Chou, this time His Majesty asked you to come back. Firstly, you knew that the late emperor had passed away, and you felt a little uncomfortable. Secondly, you have not returned to Chang'an for a long time. In Chang'an City, many relatives and old friends should gather together."

"I didn't say anything about the most important queen mother. I asked you to come back, but let you sit in Chang'an."

As Li Zhi said, he also patted Cheng Zhijie's shoulder.

"Your Majesty, can you tell Zhijie what His Majesty's plan is on Anxi's side?"

Cheng Zhijie listened to what the Queen Mother and His Majesty had said, but still asked a question about Anxi's situation. It seems that what happened in Anxi at this time is extremely important to the founding general.

"You should also listen to the rumors about Chang'an. With the general's knowledge, I would like to hear what the general thinks."

"Your Majesty is forcing the surrounding aliens to change."

Cheng Zhijie was straightforward and said what was in his heart.Li Zhi and Cheng Zhijie both laughed, the maid over there had already come to serve tea, and the three of them divided their seats and sat down.

"The general thinks, what should we do if there is unrest on the border?"

"Zhijie has always believed that if the scourge of the border is to be dealt with, one must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles."

"You and I have thought of the same thing. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, border troubles have been constant. These alien races, as long as they have a little chance, will cause trouble on the border, invade our land, and kill our people. Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, I really hate it."

"Your Majesty, Zhijie fought against the Qiang people in Longxi in his early years, and he is well aware of the nature of these alien races. These alien races are wolves on the grassland and leeches in the pond."

"It's also a mosquito in summer, I can't wait to slap it to death."

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty intends to attack the Turks, Zhijie is willing to be the first to charge forward."

Li Zhi patted Cheng Zhijie's shoulder and glanced at him.

"You are my great general, not a pawn. It is not your duty to rush to the front of the battle."

"His Majesty."

Cheng Zhijie wanted to say something, but Li Zhi waved his hand to prevent Cheng Zhijie from continuing.

He understood Cheng Zhijie's thoughts. This kind of veteran is not afraid of life and death. In fact, he is afraid that there will be no battle and no meritorious service.

It is true that Datang wants to attack the surrounding aliens and let him stay in Chang'an. In his heart, it is better to let him be a pawn and rush to kill the battlefield.

"I understand your thoughts, and you don't have to ask Ying to fight so early. When the time comes, I will still forget you."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Cheng Zhijie was determined, the most feared thing was that His Majesty would let him live in Chang'an for the elderly, which would really stifle him.

"General Cheng, when my father was here, he actually used troops against Tubo and Turks a few times. Our army overwhelmed the border, and if they couldn't defeat them, they would flee back to their original place. Then we made peace with my Tang Dynasty, and once my army withdrew, they again Do whatever you want."

"Your Majesty, this is really a problem!"

"Does the general have any good solutions?"

Cheng Zhijie thought for a while, and finally shook his head.There is a way, just like how the big man broke the Huns back then, but the price is really too high.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were defeated, but the loss of a few years almost drained the blood of the great man.

The painstaking efforts of several generations were almost destroyed after the Huns were destroyed, and the Han Dynasty declined since Emperor Wu. This is a lesson learned from the past.

"I came back with my mother today, but I brought a gift to General Cheng."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the two eunuchs over there had already arrived in front of Li Zhi with two wooden trays.

"General Cheng has a look!"

Li Zhi made a gesture of invitation. As an emperor, Li Zhi has always been very courteous and corporal. Seeing what Wei Dangdang made of him in the court, Li Zhi walked down the stairs himself and helped Wei Dangdeng up with both hands.

This is Li Zhi's attitude towards his courtiers.

Cheng Zhijie had approached the two trays at this time and opened the two white scarves covering them, but Cheng Zhijie was puzzled, because the firecrackers used for festivals were placed in the two trays.

His Majesty brought a few firecrackers on purpose, what kind of gift are these?What does it have to do with attacking the prairie cavalry?Cheng Zhijie was really confused.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"General Cheng, try it!"
