Chapter 21: Night Talk in the Study (3)
It's just that the excitement was quickly suppressed by Li Hui. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The experience on the battlefield has long taught Li Hui that only by keeping a cool head at all times can he not let his army be wiped out. But without a soul, even if you have a million lions in your hands, they are just stragglers.
"Your Majesty, although you have indeed moved me, but you have only to convince me in the end, you have not shown me enough. Li Hui tried his best to calm himself and looked at Jingwen and said.
Jingwen nodded clearly, "Yes, it is estimated that you still need a guarantee, and the forces that I have been able to gain a foothold in are not stable enough for you." ”
Being able to get such a strong response from Li Hui has exceeded Jingwen's expectations, and at this moment he is also calming the throbbing in his heart. Yes, just one step away from getting a strong enough force to support the throne.
Jingwen slowly expressed Li Hui's scruples, and planned to make the conversation between the two more open and honest.
Li Hui nodded appreciatively at Jingwen's speculation and narration.
"I don't think any promises or enumerations are enough to impress you, and the terms offered for you by others must be more generous than what I can give. Regarding Jingwen's description, Li Hui was noncommittal, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows, just silently waiting for Jingwen's next words.
"But the only thing I can give you is sincerity, and absolute trust in the General. Jingwen put down the glass cup in his hand and leaned forward.
Jingwen told the person sitting in front of him about his agreement with the imperial brother word for word, and finally said, "While I sit on this chair, I will fulfill all the promises I made to you, and let me know in advance when I am about to leave." ”
"In other words, you're the only one who is allied with me?"
Jingwen nodded silently and looked at Li Hui's eyes seriously.
Li Hui looked at Jing Wen and laughed, and finally shook his head and said, "How do you know that I won't leak this secret? Not to mention anything else, your imperial brother will definitely not allow such an agreement to be known by an outsider like me." Besides, how do you make sure that you will let me know in advance when you leave this position? If you may not be able to accept it, how do you know that you will leave this position alive? You are here, and you have not experienced enough in this position. ”
Jingwen didn't think it was wrong, and after listening to Li Hui's words, he also laughed: "Yes, I can't be sure if I can leave this position alive, but I know that you will definitely help me keep this secret." ”
"Oh, why?" Li Hui showed full curiosity about this sentence with a full affirmative tone. Even he wasn't sure if he would tell the secret, and how did the young man on the other side know for sure?
"Your pride, the persistence in your heart, a person who can stick to the country, will naturally stick to his own bottom line. Jing Wen looked at Li Hui with great confidence and smiled.
"Hahaha, the answer you gave was not a passing grade, but it made me very interested in sharing my plan with you. Li Hui laughed out loud and made a decision at the end that even he felt a little surprised.
Jing Wen casually flipped out the brocade box, and the letter that was sent this morning along with the news that Li Hui was going to enter the city.
"This?"
"Huh?" Li Hui glanced at the oil-paper envelope in Jingwen's hand and nodded, "Yes, the details about him." ”
"Why aren't you afraid that I will use or sabotage your plan?" Jingwen smiled.
"Hahaha, each other. Li Hui laughed and got up and approached Jingwen's bookcase.
Li Hui originally wanted Jingwen to take out the territory map of the dynasty, but when he approached Jingwen's bookcase, he found that the territory map had been tightly attached to the table with brown paper.
The smile in Li Hui's eyes deepened.
The two talked to each other late at night in the study, and it was not until the third watch that Jingwen called people to enter the imperial study, and after the supper was used up, they immediately began to talk secretly about not allowing outsiders to intervene.
Almost when the sky was white, Jing Wencai got up from behind the bookcase.
Stretching his limbs, Jing Wen said: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to give that young general an official position in the court?"
Li Hui shook his head disapprovingly and said, "If it is just a problem that can be solved by the level of the official position, it will not be so that I have to use a secret letter to tell the emperor, right?"
Jingwen didn't make an evaluation, just waited for Li Hui's reason.
"Just as you relied on the power of the Great Prince's lineage to ascend to the throne, what Xiao Fan wants is such a force that you can always rely on. And this kind of power will not swallow him, so he will ask to marry the daughter of an official above the fifth rank in Beijing as a wife, so as to use his power to pave the way for himself. ”
"Of course I understand this, but in this way, the power of the DPRK and China will be a new reshuffle, his position in your army and the power of his wife clan in the DPRK. Jing Wen frowned, with his current power, it was too risky to lead such a purge and change of order.
"Fortunately, according to his requirements, it is not necessary to serve in our army. Li Hui told Jingwen about his plan, "Give him an errand in Beijing, I think he will be more happy." But at this time, when my plan has not yet been carried out and everything has not yet come to fruition, he can only stay with me. ”
"House arrest?" asked Jingwen Detective.
"Well, not really, it should be said to be protection. Li Hui corrected.
"That being said, maybe it's okay to give it a try. After Jingwen got Li Hui's attitude towards that person, he put the list that had been prepared in front of him. After sketching on it for a while, Jingwen handed it over to Li Hui.
"This is a list I put together this morning as described in your letter. But in terms of the plan you just mentioned, the rest of the people on the list are really suitable. Jing Wen roughly talked about the situation of the people above.
"Your Majesty has thought it through. Li Hui just took the list but didn't look at it. After that, the list was returned to Jingwen.
"In this way, the matter will be left to Your Majesty. Saying that, Li Hui got up and saluted and said goodbye.
Jing Wen held the list of adults and their marriageable daughters in his hand and couldn't laugh or cry, could this be an expression of trust in himself? But Jing Wen felt that he had been inexplicably assigned superfluous things.
Before Li Hui went out, Jing Wen hurriedly added behind him, "The old general is in the mansion for a long time, and the general has to go and see his old man before the year." ”
The implication is that Li Hui has been granted permission to move freely in the capital.
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty. Li Hui turned around and smiled, as if he was an old friend at this time. After that, he disappeared in front of the door of the imperial study.
Jingwen pinched the bridge of his nose hard. A night of verbal warfare and concentration made Jingwen's mind a little wooden. At this time, after relaxing the tense spirit, I only felt a little dizzy.
Maybe Li Hui hasn't fully recognized himself yet, but at least the two have reached the initial tacit understanding, even if Li Hui can't become Jingwen's force to protect the throne, at least he won't be his enemy after this moment, Jingwen thought.
