Li Mo is in the study room of the East Courtyard. [.A lot of good novels]

Not only Li Mo was in the study together, but also all the staff members under Li Mo, Fang Ziqi, Yu Wenwei, etc., as well as Sima Xiao, who was most valued by Li Mo and was the youngest among everyone, and served as the military advisor of the Zhenbei Army.

Hearing this, Sima Xiao let out a sneer.

"I know that this Xiang Yan won't come to our Zhenbei City in vain, and now he's starting to show his fox tail, right? I don't know what the hell the hell is going on, and what does it have to do with our Royal Highness the Prince. But I can conclude that he was absolutely uneasy about any good intentions. Stir up a miasma in Kyoto, and he thinks that the whole world can be left to him in the palm of his hand? This is the northern part of the town, not Kyoto! If he thinks so, I will tell him the truth about how wrong he was! ”

The loud words came from Sima Xiao, who had a delicate face and even a young boy next door, just like a child talking about adults, and people who didn't know him would feel very ridiculous when they saw it. But none of the people present dared to despise the man in front of him.

Facts have proven time and time again that Sima Xiao's words are definitely not just words.

When it comes to it, it has to be done.

Even more beautiful than it is said.

Sima Xiao is such a person.

Li Mo nodded, Xiang Yan has a temperament like nothing to do, he used to watch a play. But if he dares to stir up trouble in Zhenbei City, then he must have the consciousness to pay the price.

"I'll leave this matter to you, see what the hell he's doing, and make a plan to make sure that our guests don't waste their time in Zhenbei City this time."

Li Mo said coldly.

Sima Xiao snapped his fingers: "Leave it to me, don't worry!" Discipline him was impressed. ”

How many people brought Zhenbei City to Xiang Yan? How many people are they in Zhenbei City? If this can still give Xiang Yan the upper hand, then he can simply hit the wall with a piece of tofu.

"However, the eldest lady has been getting too close to that Xiang Yan recently, does the prince have to temporarily grounded the eldest lady? Otherwise, if Xiang Yan has bad intentions and drags the eldest lady into the water, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

Sima Xiao reminded.

Li Mo frowned, he really didn't know what Li Tong was thinking in his head, he would actually look at a poisonous snake like Xiang Yan, it was really stupid. However, no matter how stupid it is, it's also his sister.

Li Mo said: "I know. ”

Fang Ziqi is a middle-aged man with a slightly long beard, elegant and elegant temperament, no fireworks, and his speech is also Sven.

At this time, he added: "Although Xiang Yan is a problem, after all, it is only a disease of the limbs. I think our focus should still be on the one in the Garden of Glory. That one, but the future Ninety-Five Honor, came to Zhenbei City, but did not inform us of the Zhenbei Palace, this attitude is intriguing! ”

Yu Wenwei's image is completely different from Fang Ziqi's, black and thin, with a pair of triangular eyes, which looks squinting and very obscene.

When he heard Fang Ziqi's words, he felt that the egg hurt, and sneered: "What's 'intriguing', it's better to just say that you have bad intentions." This fourth highness, all along, has not been very interested in our Zhenbei Palace, the prince of the prince's wedding, and several other princes have attended ceremoniously, only he has turned around before he arrives at our Zhenbei Palace. What do you say about being unwell, listening to the cheers of the people outside, and accompanying the emperor and queen, why don't you see him unwell? When he was about to arrive in the north of our town, he happened to be unwell? The devil believes! It's like this now, it's really worrying that he will ascend to the throne in the future, and his attitude towards our Zhenbei Wangfu and Zhenbei Army. Isn't that what you mean? ”

Yu Wenwei's words were a little choking, Mr. Fang didn't care about him, smiled very gracefully, and replied with two words: "Yes!" ”

Yu Wenwei rolled her eyes when she heard it, and said "yes" or not, what "yet" or "yes", it made people have a headache. He and this guy are inherently incompatible.

Forget it, continue to talk with him, there is no need to get down to business, Yu Wenwei endured a stomach to mock Fang Ziqi's **, and continued: "Although this nerd's words are sour, it is not unreasonable. Although our Zhenbei Wangfu can also be self-sufficient by relying on these counties under its rule, we have very little dependence on the imperial court, so we can enjoy a certain degree of independence, and we don't need to be the turtle grandson of the imperial court and obey their words. Originally, it was said that who became the emperor had nothing to do with us. But I'm afraid that he has this hostility in his heart, in case we start another war with the barbarians, it will be enough for us to drink a pot of money if he secretly gives us such a hand in logistics. ”

The advantages of several counties in northern Xinjiang are obvious, the land is vast and the people are strong, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, the grain output is relatively low. It's okay to eat and use in ordinary life, and I can cope with it. However, once the war started, the demand for food would surge, and at that time, the output of the northern counties alone was not enough, and the support of the imperial court was needed. Although the Zhenbei Wangfu has paid great attention to grain storage in recent years, this kind of thing is not gold or silver, and it will not rot if it is placed there. After a long time, worms will grow and mold, and it is impossible for the Zhenbei Wangfu to blatantly go to the southern grain producing areas to buy a large amount of grain, which is no different from rebellion.

It is precisely because of such a fatal problem that the Zhenbei Palace, Dongping Palace, and Xichuan Palaces can maintain a delicate balance relationship with the imperial court, and the imperial court is not too worried about the frontier. Otherwise, the emperors of the Daxing dynasties will not be able to sleep well.

In that year, the reason why the Runan royal palace was moved to Kyoto and lost half of the control of southern Xinjiang, in addition to saving the weak military strength of the Daxing royal family and the need to defend Kyoto, another part of the reason is that the original barren southern Xinjiang, because of the rise of maritime trade, gradually prospered and became rich, geographically they were too close to the grain production land in the south, and it was very convenient to purchase grain, which made the imperial court suspicious. Since then, the Runan palace in southern Xinjiang has existed in name only, and the control of the Runan King over the Runan army has been greatly weakened, which has calmed the hearts of the imperial court.

Therefore, the relationship between the four different surnames and the imperial court is not immutable and very delicate. Although it seems that although it is peaceful, all dynasties and dynasties have been secretly competing, and a balance has been reached again in the competition.

Now Li Shiqing's posture made the staff of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion can't help but be afraid and defensive. At the beginning of each succession of thrones, it is usually the time when the competition between the imperial power and the local princes is the most intense. The new emperor was ambitious and wanted to strengthen his control over the frontier, and even if he could not get it, it was best to make the princes obey and become his obedient ministers. And Bian ** is used to it, and has its own set of operation methods, so naturally he will not be willing to be held hostage by the new emperor.

The two sides always have to test openly and secretly, and fight to form a new relationship.

Even if a lord like Jinshang has a kind temperament and does not have much ambition, the relationship with the Zhenbei Royal Mansion was not as good as it is now.

Li Mo's fingers tapped lightly on the bookcase, making a crisp sound, and he had such a habit when he was thinking. After Yu Wenwei's words stopped, Li Mo's movements continued for a while before stopping. Then he asked, "The problem has arisen, what about the countermeasures?" Why don't you say it? ”

"The first countermeasure is more direct, that is, to pull him down in advance while he has not yet sat in that position, and the other princes ascend the throne are much more beneficial to us than him."

Yu Wenwei said, with excitement in his eyes, obviously very interested in this mention.

Li Mo shook his head and vetoed.

"The replacement of the throne, the four princes with different surnames shall not interfere, this is the iron law set by the Daxing royal family and the four princes at the beginning of the dynasty. Since we don't want to do that kind of troublesome thing instead, it's better not to do anything about it. ”

"What about the other countermeasures?"

The most heartwarming idea was denied by Li Mo, and Yu Wenwei was a little disappointed. However, another idea was immediately proposed.

"Second, we can take advantage of his time in Zhenbei City to try to ease the relationship with him. This is also a feasible strategy. ”

"How to mitigate? The prejudice in his heart about the Zhenbei Wangfu did not happen overnight, and it may not be a day's work to change his opinion. You're not planning to plot some kind of assassination, so that I can save my life, right? Li Shiqing is not Tong'er, this kind of clumsy trick, it's better not to think about it. ”

Li Mo looked at Yu Wenwei with a smile, this staff member is the most boring of Li Mo's staff, if it were him, it is very likely that he would come up with such an idea.

Yu Wenwei touched his nose, the prince was really a roundworm in his stomach, he really wanted to say that, he hurriedly changed a more normal way and said, "Maybe you can buy the eunuch named He Kun next to him?" Li Shiqing is quite fond of him, the eunuch is greedy for money, and he doesn't let him do anything dangerous, say something good about us appropriately, presumably he won't refuse. ”

Although this is also a method, however, Li Shiqing is not the kind of master who is mediocre and has no opinions, and from the current relationship between Li Shiqing and He Kun, He Kun's influence on Li Shiqing is not so strong. If He Kun said too much, I am afraid that it will arouse his vigilance and suspicion, I am afraid that he will spend a lot of money, but in the end it will have the opposite effect, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Fang Ziqi is not very optimistic about this method.

If you want to use this method, you also have to look at the person, although there are many kings in history who will be manipulated by the eunuchs around them like puppets, but most of those kings have soft ears, or are tired of political affairs, and simply throw them to the eunuchs around them to deal with. On the contrary, he is very urban, very scheming, very patient, and also has a very ruthless side, such a person is determined and will not be lightly influenced by others.

As soon as Yu Wenwei heard Fang Ziqi say this, he breathed fire.

"Don't just say no, who won't say it? If you have the ability, you can come up with a useful way for me? ”

Fang Ziqi is dumb now.

It's not that he doesn't have methods, it's just that these methods are not very good like the methods Yu Wenwei said. He has a more rigorous personality, and he feels that he doesn't have the idea of doing much, so he is naturally reluctant to say it lightly.

Seeing him like this, Yu Wenwei showed a smug expression and looked at Fang Ziqi with disdain.

At this time, Sima Xiao suddenly interjected and said with a smile: "Actually, although there is a method that is also vulgar to the extreme, it is a hundred tried, I think I can give it a try." ”

"What's the method?"

Yu Wenwei and Fang Ziqi asked in unison. Sima Xiao spit out three words: "Beauty plan!" "Heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, as long as it is a man, there will be no exceptions. If you dedicate a peerless beauty like Concubine Hongfang to him, with his great hostility towards our Zhenbei Palace, Bao Zhun will immediately disappear into invisibility, don't you say? ”
