"What? Absolutely not, Your Majesty, if you go to Guanzhong in person, Li Tang will definitely be unfavorable to you, how can I protect your safety at that time? If something happens to you, Your Majesty, what will Qi Guo do?" Shen Luoyan immediately resolutely objected.

"That's it, Your Majesty, how did you think that a play is a play. Cheng Yanjin said dissatisfied.

"General Cheng, you must not be rude to Your Majesty. Qin Qiong immediately said.

Li Jing pondered: "The words are not coarse, General Cheng is right, big brother, you shouldn't go to Chang'an, Li Shimin himself knows that his second purpose is extravagant hopes, is the eldest brother moved?"

"And even if it is peaceful reunification, our Qi country is superior to Li Tang, it should be our Qi country to peacefully unify Li Tang, he Li Shimin is very powerful, so he appointed him as a household secretary. The Red Whisker said.

The bearded guest was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Didn't you hear that Li Shimin used martial arts just now in addition to his ability to govern?"

"Wuwei? hahaha, Your Majesty, are you kidding, just with his strength Li Tang, can he threaten our Qi country by force? If it weren't for Tongguan Wuguan as a turtle shell, I would have chopped off his head surnamed Li with an axe. Cheng Bingjin laughed.

The bearded man was not at all relaxed, and said in a deep voice: "Today, maybe General Cheng can cut off Li Shimin's head with an axe, but what about ten years later?"

"Ten years later, does Your Majesty mean?" Shen Luoyan's brows also furrowed.

The bearded guest nodded: "In any case, we have to admit that whether it is Kou Zhong or me, the ability to govern is not as good as Li Shimin, and the war in Guanzhong is not less than ours, but looking at the ears of wheat and rice brought by Li Shimin, the people of Guanzhong are better off than the people of Qi."

Enriching the people will inevitably bring strong troops, and Li Tang is in danger of Tongguan Wuguan, and with our current strength, we cannot attack Guanzhong. Li Tangda can develop internal affairs first.

Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, the people are fierce, the Qin Emperor and Han Zu are all because of it, and Li Shimin guards the land of Sanqin and stays until ten years later. The strength will inevitably surpass us.

How are we going to fight the enemy then?"

Shen Luoyan, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Red Whisk Girl and others were all silent, Cheng Yanjin's face changed gloomy, and he said loudly: "I'm afraid that he is a bird, so I will fight with him." ”

"Fight?" said the bearded guest: "We can fight, what should the common people do? Whether it is to use troops to Tongguan and Wuguan now, or to go east ten years later, the Tang army will go east." It's the common people who suffer.

We are no longer as good as Li Shimin in governing the locality, and we have already made the people of Kwantung suffer, should we still magnify this suffering?

Yang Shaoxia said that the Boli tile in South America ......"

"It's Bolívar. Shen Luoyan corrected.

"Well, Bolívar and the Holy Horse touched me a lot, Emperor Yang of Sui was too ambitious, he wasted money and labor, and the people were miserable, just like the Americans who were oppressed by the Spanish Empire. What they want most is peace, if there is an emperor who loves them. It's their greatest luck.

If the Poli tiles and the holy horses can reach a reconciliation, why can't we? Do we have to learn from Sun Quan and Liu Bei and let China be in chaos for decades?

General Cheng, you are from a poor background, if you are not a general now, or your relatives and friends who are not officials. Do they want to mess around?"

"Ordinary people who don't want to live in peace. Cheng Yanjin muttered.

"Therefore, if we do not have the ability to give the people a good life, at least we will not aggravate their suffering. ”

"But ......" Shen Luoyan was unwilling.

"Luoyan, do you know why I raised troops?" the bearded man interrupted Shen Luoyan's words and said, "The world was divided at the beginning. Li Yuan, Yu Wenhua, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong, there is no warlord who loves the people.

First, I am conceited and heroic and not inferior to any of them, and secondly, I hope to return the people to a prosperous future.

Now, as a ruler, I am ashamed of myself in the face of Li Shimin, and I am not as good as him in benefiting the people, and the original intention of the two soldiers no longer exists, so why do I continue to fight?

Luo Yan, you should be able to hear it, your second brother Yang Shaoxia doesn't want to fight, he also hopes that the three of us can be peaceful, but there is no precedent for peaceful reunification in China, so he doesn't want to force me and Kou Zhong. ”

Shen Luoyan's face also calmed down: "Yes, at the beginning, the Wagang group of dragons had no leader, and the second brother has always advocated that we go to Li Shimin, I think if it weren't for the second brother's friendship with us Wagang, he would have helped Li Shimin a long time ago."

The second brother loves to be chivalrous and righteous, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and he cares about the fate of the Chinese country, he must not want the three of us to fight each other, harm the people, and hollow out the national strength of China, so that foreign races can take advantage of it. ”

"So, I want to go to Guanzhong to see, if Li Shimin is indeed the master who can be trusted, it is better for us to reunify peacefully. "The bearded man said.

Shen Luoyan and the others were silent for a long time, knowing that they were no longer able to persuade the bearded guests, and there was no reason to persuade them, they were not people who could ignore the common people for their own ambitions, and Wagang was a peasant army in the end.

"Your Majesty, you can go if you want to, but there are three things, you have to promise me, first, protect your own safety.

Second, observe Li Shimin's three aspects, the ability to govern the people, the ability to employ people, and the open-mindedness. Governing the people is to ensure that he can truly bring a good life to the people, which is the premise.

Employing people, being able to control political power, is not an idealist who loves the people and is earnest.

With a mind, we will ensure that after the peaceful reunification of our Qi country, they will not be excluded and treated fairly, and talents like General Li must also be reused, and without this bearing, there will be no room for negotiation.

Third, please ask Your Majesty to choose an heir, if Your Majesty has any accidents, Shen Luoyan will assist the new lord and fight Li Tang to the death. ”

Shen Luoyan didn't have any scruples about what he said in the third point, the bearded guest was not angry, and Li Jinghong and the others didn't say anything, they all knew that the third point was something that had to be done.

"Luo Yan, if I have an accident, you will lead the Qi country yourself. "The bearded man said.

"Your Majesty, you obviously have two sons. Shen Luoyan said hurriedly.

The bearded guest waved his hand: "I originally stole the throne of the emperor of Qi State, if I die in the middle of the pass, it means that I am ignorant and ignorant, where is there still a face to pass on the heir, the second brother, the third sister, General Qin, General Cheng, you all listen well."

If I don't come out of Guanzhong within half a month, even if Li Tang takes me hostage, you can still treat me as dead, support the prime minister's accession to the throne as the empress, and compete with Li Tang. ”

Li Jing gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Yes." The Red Whisk Girl also responded. Qin Qiongcheng bit the gold and gave it up together.

"Okay, then I can rest assured, you can rest assured, I, Zhang Zhongjian, dare not say anything else, I still have a little ability to observe people and things, and I will definitely decide the fate of Qi Country carefully. ”

A few people were talking, suddenly heard a commotion outside, agreed on a trip to Guanzhong, and all walked out of the living room with solemn faces, only to see a dirty monk running in from the outside, and was stopped by the two disciples of Tianquan Villa who were guarding the door.
