Chapter 42: Threat

To be honest, she hated Xiao Zichen's tone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But when people are under the eaves, she has to bow her head. Zheng Xi sat up and took the porridge bowl from Xiao Zichen's hand, shook his hands and ate it one bite at a time.

Xiao Zichen probably hasn't seen a beauty who is so hungry that her hands tremble, and it is rare for Zheng Xi to listen to him obediently, and he has compassion for a while. Persuaded: "If you follow me, you won't suffer those hardships." ”

Zheng Xi didn't speak, only concentrated on eating porridge. She actually woke up a long time ago, just when Wu Zhengyi said something about the harmony of yin and yang. It sounds quite embarrassing, of course Zheng Xi has to pretend not to know.

However, it was also when she saw Xiao Zichen's red face that Zheng Xi knew that he was also ashamed, which made her impression of him change a lot. If a person has a sense of shame, then there is salvation.

A bowl of porridge quickly bottomed out, and Xiao Zichen asked, "Do you want more?" ”

Zheng Xi shook his head and took the initiative to ask, "You can send me back to the General's Mansion." ”

Xiao Zichen stood up from the chair suddenly, his hands were so angry that he crunched them, and he probably wanted to pinch Zheng Xi's neck with hatred, and endured it again and again, before he said sarcastically: "You...... Believe it or not, one day you will die in the Li family! Xiao Zichen said angrily.

She's done it too. He thought that by giving her a bowl of porridge to drink, he wanted her to forget about starving her for a few days? No way, she may not be able to remember this person's kindness, but she will definitely not forget it.

So Zheng Xi sneered: "Believe it or not, I can hold it." ”

These words made Xiao Zichen so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while. At this time, an attendant came: "Your Majesty, General Li asks to see you." ”

Xiao Zichen glanced at Zheng Xi fiercely, turned around and went out to see Li Hongwen.

As soon as Zheng Xi saw that everyone was gone, he also got out of bed and sneaked to the door of the inner room, intending to find out the truth.

I saw Li Hongwen waiting in the outer hall. After Xiao Zichen went out, he sat down on his special guest seat, and after retreating, he changed his previous attitude and asked gently, "I don't know what General Li is doing when he comes to me so late?" ”

Li Hongwen stepped forward and bowed, and said politely: "Last time, the emperor said that he liked hot springs, and the minister suddenly remembered that there is such a Zhuangzi at home, where it is warm in winter and cool in summer. ”

Xiao Zichen listened, and said with a smile: "You made a special trip today, is this for you?" Our family doesn't talk to each other, why does General Li see the outside world like this? If you need my help, you might as well say that if I can do it, I will do it. ”

Often the more people say this, the more difficult things will become, and it seems that no matter what Li Hongwen asks, it will be difficult to achieve.

Li Hongwen listened to it, and took Xiao Zichen's words seriously, and was polite again, before turning to the topic, and said: "I heard that the emperor rescued a woman, and the woman has some fate with the minister, and I hope the emperor can let the minister bring the woman back to be settled." ”

Zheng Xi listened to it, wasn't she the person Xiao Zichen saved? Li Hongwen did not name names, because he was afraid that it would not sound good if it was spread out.

A Zhuangzi like the one with a hot spring is equivalent to a modern luxury villa. Unexpectedly, she was quite valuable, and Li Hongwen was willing to exchange his ancestor's hot spring Zhuangzi for her.

Zheng Xi brought his ears closer to him, wanting to hear how Xiao Zichen replied.

The outer hall was silent for a while before I heard Xiao Zichen say: "I didn't expect General Li to be so well-informed, I did rescue a woman a few days ago, but I heard that she had a family, so I let people go, General Li is afraid that he hasn't heard about it yet, right?" ”

Li Hongwen listened to it, and estimated that he would know that he was perfunctory by Xiao Zichen. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "Since I have gone back, the minister is also relieved." ”

Zheng Xi was anxious when she heard this, what could she rest assured, wasn't she brought back again? But in a hurry, Zheng Xi has not yet reached the point of chaos, rushing out at this time and eavesdropping on the conversation between the emperor and the minister, which is a capital crime.

Xiao Zichen snorted and picked up the tea at hand, with obvious intentions.

Li Hongwen changed his words and said: "The minister still has one thing!" ”

"Oh?"

"Pingliang's matter, the minister wants to run in person. Chen's grandmother is from Pingliang, and now Pingliang is unstable, and Chen wants to do her filial piety for her old man and help her keep that land. ”

This time, Xiao Zichen was quiet for a longer time, and it took a long time to hear him ask: "It is appropriate to be filial, how many soldiers are you going to bring?" ”

"Three hundred thousand!" Li Hongwen said.

When Xiao Zichen heard this, he was not calm for a moment, "300,000 soldiers and horses, what about Xiliang?" What about Nanping? You have transferred 300,000 soldiers and horses, how can Xiliang and Nanping be defended? ”

Li Hongwen calmed down and replied: "The minister thinks that the family and everything is prosperous, if the affairs of the family are not well managed, how can he be qualified to take care of other things, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"What you said is very reasonable, I understand your heart, but 300,000 soldiers and horses are only used in Pingliang to avoid too much, it is better for you to bring 200,000, it is enough. Of the remaining 100,000, 50,000 guarded Xiliang and 50,000 guarded Nanping. Didn't you recommend Li Tingwei to enter the army and hone it a few days ago! Yi Zhen saw that this was an opportunity, Xiliang handed it over to Li Tingwei, and Nanping handed it over to Zheng Yan, just giving young people a chance to exercise. ”

Zheng Xi listened to it and secretly praised Xiao Zichen for being the emperor and really having his ability.

Li Hongwen wanted to threaten with 300,000 soldiers and horses, but Xiao Zichen countered the army and pressed Li Xu's life into it.

What kind of place is Xiliang, although now it is talking about a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, but Xiliang alone has to use 150,000 soldiers and horses to hold the danger, but now he only gives Li Xu 50,000 soldiers and horses, and asks him to guard Xiliang, which is constantly disturbing on the border?

Nanping is just the opposite, it is the land of merchants, and 50,000 soldiers and horses are more than enough there. But in this way, of the 300,000 soldiers and horses that were originally under Li Hongwen's command, 50,000 of them were withdrawn into his hands.

To Xiao Zichen and Zheng Xi's surprise, Li Hongwen nodded and agreed: "The emperor's idea is good, and the dog also has this intention, since the emperor said so, the minister was still hesitant, but now it seems that the minister is too worried, and the minister will go back to prepare." ”

After saying that, he stepped back and left.

Leaving Xiao Zichen and Zheng Xi puzzled, they didn't know what medicine Li Hongwen was selling in his gourd.
