The time goes back to when Li Jin left the banquet and Li Hui strode to the imperial study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the wind has almost stopped. When passing by the path again, Li Hui dragged up the path of the woman who was pretending to be a scholar. The traces of the people walking on the earth have been obscured.

"What's wrong with the general?" the attendant who led the way asked with concern after noticing Li Hui, who was pausing slightly.

"Oh, it's okay, I just think it's a long way to the study. Li Hui said with a smile.

"What did the general say, ordinary people only think that this road has arrived in a blink of an eye, why does the general still think it is long?" The chamberlain answered strangely, and after a while, he said again, "Actually, there is still a small road to go, just at the intersection just now, but it is a small road for the attendants to walk, so naturally you can't take the general to the imperial study from there." The attendant explained as he led the way beside Li Hui.

In fact, for such a special person, the chamberlain usually only briefly introduces the next journey or the time it takes to walk. And most of the cases of such casual conversations are either that the person who comes wants to hear the news from the chamberlain, or the chamberlain thinks that this person may have a powerful day and make friends early.

It's just that now he doesn't have any of the words he has to talk to Li Hui, he just walked in the wind and snow for too long, and he just wanted to talk to relieve his cheeks that were about to be frozen, but what he said made Li Hui laugh.

"Hahaha, the road you said, I used to take it often. What can't you go?" Li Hui didn't care about the disbelief on the face of the waiter after speaking, continued to move forward and said: "Don't believe it, there are two more roads to the imperial study in addition to these two, do you want to know?"

At this time, the expression on the waiter's face was really frozen, and before Li Hui could say the next word, the man immediately trembled his cheeks and said with a forced smile: "The general said that he was laughing, the weather is cold and windy, let's walk quickly, so as not to ......wait for Your Majesty for a long time."

As he spoke, the feet of the chamberlain immediately became vigorous, and the man had already walked a few steps away before the end of the words landed.

And while leaving, the inner servant was in his heart, but he kept warning himself not to talk to this new general more. If you say something that seems to be completely inappropriate to this person, but you let yourself know something that you shouldn't know, then wouldn't you dig your own grave?!

The waiter cried and mourned from an angle that others couldn't see, and secretly said to himself, 'I haven't lived enough, I have to love life.' When you see this person in the future, you must hide as far as you can. ’

Li Hui was indifferent to the action of the inner servant Fei and fleeing from his side, just smiled and quickly followed. And when leaving, he didn't forget to look back at the path where he had been hiding.

Behind the stone lamp is a great place for Tibetans. Li Hui sighed after confirming the position from different angles again.

Looking at the open path leading directly to the backyard of the imperial study, Li Hui couldn't help but thank himself in his heart for his caution in patrolling before, and secretly thought, "Fortunately, I haven't forgotten this place, otherwise whoever passes by here, he and the woman will be like turtles in an urn, and it will be impossible to escape the Internet café." ’

When Li Hui came to the imperial study, several ministers of different ranks were walking out of it. In this way, it seems that the diligence of this young son of heaven should be better than the report Li Hui received.

Li Hui stood still at the foot of the stairs, waiting for the summons after the chamberlain went in and passed the ceremony.

"General Xuanzhen Guoda, Li Hui came to see you. The shrill voice of the waiter crossed his ears, and Li Hui calmly walked up the steps, and shook off the snowflakes accumulated all the way on his body.

"The general has worked hard, His Majesty ordered to prepare ginger tea to warm up the adults, the general wants a cup, I don't know if there are any taboos?"

"Thank you for your kindness, the Grand Steward will just follow the usual rules, nothing special. Thanks a lot. After Li Hui smiled and thanked him, he stepped into the imperial study covered by the heavy door curtain.

The bright interior is still the appearance of Li Hui when he left the capital, in addition to the plain yarn palace lamp, the four corners of the room are furnished with brass mirrors and cloud candles, and the bronze mirror concentrates the light emitted by the golden dragon pattern red candle with the thickness of the child's arm in the hall. The refracted light makes the whole space, without a trace of dim corners.

"Your Majesty, Minister Li Hui knocks on you. Saying that, Li Hui wanted to bow down.

"Slow. The young man did not raise his head, but made a clear and powerful sound of stopping behind the bookcase.

Li Hui raised his head in surprise and waited for the emperor's next words.

After the sound of gently resting the pen, his sharp eyes fell on Li Hui.

"The general is tired of traveling and traveling, and he is also the minister of my father's trust, if it is not for the official occasions all false courtesy. Jingwen said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Although Li Hui accepted the emperor's request, after standing up straight, he changed his kneeling to bowing, and bowed straight down, meticulously when saluting.

"Sit down. Jingwen raised his hand to signal, and the chamberlain next to him immediately moved a Taishi chair from the emperor's finger to Li Hui's side.

Li Hui looked at the Xiudun next to the chair and understood that the treatment he received should be the highest standard given by the emperor at present.

Thinking of his position at this time, such treatment should be said to be normal, but it also made Li Hui a little inexplicably disappointed in the person in front of him.

At the moment, Li Hui was not polite, and after thanking the emperor, he directly lifted his clothes and sat down.

At this time, the attendant happened to bring ginger tea, and the two of them had nothing to say for a while, and drank tea separately.

Time flows silently in the quiet room, and the occasional slight popping of candles can be heard.

"Your Majesty," Li Hui took the lead in breaking the silence, got up and said: "What the minister said in the letter, although it is based on the truth, it cannot guarantee how the world works, and the minister has been from the camp in the north of Jinbei for ......more than a month."

"When the general came to Beijing, what was there anything special along the way?" Jingwen didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his eyes didn't take off the glass tea bowl in his hand.

Li Hui paused for a moment, and he had already explained the general situation in his letter. So, is this chick asking himself to do his duty?

Li Hui didn't do any entanglement, and after Jingwen signaled all the attendants to withdraw from the imperial study, he approached the bookcase of the young emperor in a few steps, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, what do you want to know?" Rather than repeatedly knocking on the side, Li Hui preferred to go straight with a single knife.

There is not much time left for the two, and at the same time, the situation at this time does not allow the two people in the political and military center to reach a final decision step by step through trial and error.

Li Hui thought clearly in his heart, that is, as Zhao Shangshu said, if this son of heaven can be recognized by himself, then Li Hui hopes that he can let himself see now that he can let himself have the courage to trust his life.

Yes, as the first wall to resist the border pass, Li Hui knew that his foundation, all he relied on was the trust of the imperial court, or the greatest confidence of his allies sitting in the rear.

And now the young son of heaven in front of him does not have the ability to monopolize power, and the forces above the court have not yet decided the winner. Because the emperor does not yet have a decisive force.

And Li Hui also understands that whether he is allied with him at this time is not only about whether he can sit firmly on this dragon chair, but also a big gamble for Li Hui.

When Li Hui had not yet returned to Beijing, Li Hui and the imperial court were only in a state of watching the fire from across the strait, and each other did not intervene in the affairs of that side. Even if there was an occasional party secretly wooing Li Hui, all kinds of forces did not take it seriously. First, at that time, all parties in the situation could not leave Li Hui to guard the border pass, and second, no side had a decisive force, so it was not enough to convince Li Hui, and it was also because of Li Hui's attitude that he had always maintained.

Li Hui insisted that 'there will be no foreign military orders', and all forces recognized that Li Hui would not interfere too much when he was far away on the frontier. As long as Li Hui fulfills his duties, he will resist the enemy thousands of miles away.

At this time, Li Hui is in the capital, and it is inevitable that all forces will take this opportunity to force him to make a choice, either choose one side to cooperate or submit, or completely isolate himself from all forces and sit on the wall.

The latter option is several times riskier for Li Hui than the former. Although the overthrow of the DPRK's forces will not affect the northern part of the country, which is thousands of miles away, Li Hui's logistical support will inevitably have loopholes. He will become the weight of the imperial court, the fish on the chopping board of others without cover.

Therefore, another major task of Li Hui's trip was to choose a comrade-in-arms for himself -- a person who could entrust his rear with peace of mind. And one of the reasons for rushing back to the capital so secretly is this--to give yourself a gap in judgment.

At this time, this young emperor is not the best candidate for cooperation, his heels have not yet stood firm, and the treacherous situation above the court will put his position in jeopardy at any time.

As far as Li Hui knows, the biggest reliance of the current Son of Heaven is the former crown prince, the eldest prince, and his forces. Although this force is not enough to make a decision, it will not let him fall behind.

But this force seems to be so weak to the Son of Heaven -- between two brothers who are only half of the blood relationship, how strong can such support be maintained? This is also Li Hui's biggest worry about Jingwen's force, and if an alliance is formed, this will also be one of the risks that Li Hui will take.

But this successor made Li Hui interested enough, whether it was the information that Li Hui heard from his subordinates when he was in Saibei, or his contact in the past two days, Li Hui had a strong interest in this person himself.

At the same time, what worries Li Hui the most now is the ability and courage of his successor. It's just that from a distance, Li Hui can't judge whether this son of heaven has enough ability and courage to survive in the vicissitudes of the court in this instant.

Or he can only become a puppet of this force for a while -- this is also the speculation of most ministers in the government and the opposition.

And this will be the most important basis for Li Hui to make a judgment.
