For a cunning and brazen person like Yuan Ming, Hua Shen was not surprised, and he bowed his hand slightly and politely said a few words to Li Chu before turning around and walking away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Li Gongzi, it's not that I, Yuan Ming, is too talkative, it's better for a person like Huada to have less contact, this person has too many bad thoughts." Yuan Ming put away his smile and his eyes became deep.

Li Chu let out an "oh", and asked modestly: "Then according to Lord Yuan's opinion, which officials in the DPRK and China are worthy of my friendship?" ”

"If Gongzi Li has the heart to make friends, then Yuan can recommend one." Yuan Ming saw that Li Chu was listening, so he quietly leaned over and whispered, "It's Prime Minister Zhou Yongnan." ”

Li Chu nodded instructively, and thought to himself, yes, what you said is not wrong at all, you stand in Zhou Yongnan's camp and don't recommend Zhou Yongnan, can it be difficult to recommend the fourth prince?

"Another day, another day, I will personally introduce the son to the prime minister." Yuan Ming saw that there were more people around him, so he hurriedly ended the topic.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Gao Yang's voice came from not far away, and everyone turned around and saluted in the direction where Li Jingyao came.

Li Jingyao's face was not very good-looking, and there was a lot of reluctant support, and then the queen mother's eyes were very meaningful, and the queen was slightly embarrassed, showing that Li Jingyao was forced to participate in this palace banquet.

The sound of the piano was remembered at this time, melodious and tactful, Li Jingyao looked at the graceful dancing women on the stage but couldn't arouse any interest, glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at Li Chu.

Li Jingyao suddenly raised his hand, the singing and dancing on the stage stopped abruptly, and the chief manager looked at him at a loss, and said in a panic: "What does the emperor command?" ”

Maybe it was Li Jingyao's face that was not very good today, which caused everyone to show that he was angry for singing and dancing, and turned his head to Sheng Zhe and said, "You go and ask Li Chu to come over and sit next to me." ”

The queen's eyes were shocked, slightly embarrassed, and the singing and dancing on the stage continued to start again, Li Chu always felt extremely strange when she sat next to Li Jingyao, and she couldn't cry or laugh when she met the gaze of the seventeen county lords.

"What's wrong? Did Guanyi come to you? Li Jingyao obviously noticed the powerful gaze, and couldn't help but laugh and joke.

Li Chu stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass, took a sip before saying: "Guan Yi really hates me to death, don't hide it from the emperor, it's difficult for me to be a man, if I treat Guan Yi better, Feng Jiu will be unhappy again." ”

Li Jingyao couldn't help laughing, seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by his laughter, he hurriedly raised his wine glass and shifted his gaze and said: "Today is the queen's birthday, I am here to give the queen a glass on behalf of the people, and thank her for taking care of the harem for me for so many years." ”

The queen looked at Li Jingyao in surprise, and got up with the wine glass in a panic and said, "Concubine...... The concubine thanked the emperor. ”

Although the Queen Mother was also a little surprised, she was very happy to see the scene in front of her, and looked at the seventeen county lords and said, "Guanyi, you also go to the bar to pay tribute to the queen." ”

The seventeenth county lord didn't hear it at first, but he came back to his senses after being gently pushed by Feng Jiu, raised his glass to the queen and said, "Guanyi, this cup of wine wishes the queen a thousand years of wealth!" ”

Everyone present also stood up and toasted: "The ministers wish the queen a thousand years of prosperity!" ”

After some etiquette, everyone was about to watch the dance, but Li Jingyao suddenly got up and held his forehead and said: "I can't drink enough, I'm a little tired, you continue to ......."

"The emperor's ......" Sheng Zhi hurriedly went to help Li Jingyao, and suddenly leaned into Li Jingyao's ear and nodded frequently, before he cautiously turned his head to look at Li Chu, making one look after another.

Only then did Li Chu get up unhurriedly and chased in the direction where Li Jingyao disappeared, and chased to a corner of the imperial garden, where Li Jingyao stopped and waved his hand to signal Sheng Zhi to leave.

"Chaozong, do you think today's meeting is festive enough?"

"The palace banquet is naturally festive." Li Chu didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a sentence, Li Jingyao sighed, and said with a sad gaze, "But I don't feel happy in my heart!" ”

"I am annoyed by the court every day, and sometimes I feel that I even have five flavors when I eat food, but I really feel sad when I see these people, one by one, with joy on their faces that they are not afraid of death!" When Li Jingyao said that he was excited, he slapped his hand on the trunk of the tree and scolded bitterly, "Look at this court, what does it look like? These people only care about completing my entrustment, but they never want to reach out to help other people, only care about the joy in front of them, but they don't want to think about what kind of situation this country will become in a few years! ”

"The emperor is angry...... "Li Chu understood Li Jingyao's excited and sad heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Li Jingyao let out a long breath, turned to look at Li Chu and said, "Chaozong, are you willing to join the court as an official to help me?" ”

"Li Chu is naturally willing." Seeing a hint of surprise in Li Jingyao's eyes, Li Chu chased after him, "It's just that Li Chu wants to be a martial artist and doesn't want to be in the text." ”

"You want to be a general?" Li Jingyao glanced at him with some incomprehension, and hesitated, "But your body is ......."

"My illness has been cured, and now I can start practicing martial arts, I have gradually regained the little blood I had at the beginning, if the emperor agrees, the minister wants to be the original general Sima." Seeing that Li Jingyao had been silent for a long time and did not respond, Li Chu said softly, "If the emperor is worried that Li Chu will not be able to convince the public, then ......"

"Nope! You are willing to come back, I am very happy, I am not worried that you are not qualified for the position of Great Sima, I know that even if you don't have half of the force, you can lead the soldiers with your intelligence, I am just thinking about how to place Wei Zhong. ”

Naturally, since Li Chu is back to General Sima, then Wu Weizhong will inevitably give way, but if so, wouldn't it hurt Wu Weizhong's heart?

Over the years, Wu Weizhong's loyalty to the imperial court has been seen by Li Jingyao, and Li Chu thought about it and proposed: "The minister has something to say or not." ”

"You say."

"If the situation is critical today, the Southern Han Dynasty has been ready to move for a long time, if the seventeen county lords can't do anything this time, wouldn't it be ......?"

Li Jingyao's eyes flashed, and he turned his head sideways and asked, "You mean...... Let Wei Zhong lead troops to garrison the border? ”

"Yes, General Wu has the experience of leading troops to go on the expedition, and he is loyal and reliable, it is most appropriate for him to garrison the border, besides, the troops on this border are too sparse, with General Wu, then the emperor can also rest assured." Li Chu analyzed carefully, and when he saw Li Jingyao nodding frequently, he knew that his plan had already succeeded halfway, "When the time comes, when General Wu leaves the Western Capital, it will not be too late for the emperor to crown me as a general." ”

Li Jingyao smiled faintly and looked into the distance: "You don't have to wait for Wei Zhong to leave the Western Capital, I can make you the Great Sima General tomorrow, and I think he will also understand that I am thinking about the Southern Tang Dynasty when I send him on the expedition." ”
