Chapter 14: New Bureau 1

Love at first sight? Liu Zuochen didn't know if it was right or not.

Hazy good feelings, completely ignoring that she is the nephew of the enemy, Liu Zuochen doesn't know what is wrong with him, he has been rejecting this marriage for many years, why did he suddenly change his opinion, and it was involuntarily changed, which made him very puzzling, and his subconscious vigilance collapsed like this?

Wandering all the way, he returned to the general's mansion in confusion.

"Childe, the back kitchen is hot for you......"

"Uncle Zhang, I've eaten it. By the way, you beckoned Uncle Wu Jiang to come to my house. ”

Zhang Kang agreed, thinking to himself in vain, he definitely couldn't eat in Li Ziqin's mansion, maybe he had eaten on the way back. But he would never have thought that Liu Zuochen and Princess Ruxuan would have a full meal at the bun shop they frequented.

To deal with Li Gong's matter, since he has already given an ultimatum in person, Liu Zuochen will naturally not give up easily, and it is imperative to summon Wu Jiang to discuss a solution. At the same time, it is good to take a look at how Wujiang has changed in the past few years, and secondly, without going through the details with him, I am also a little worried about leaving a mustard between each other.

"Uncle Wu, a few of their new brothers in Kyoto are not familiar with the road conditions, tomorrow..., no matter which uncle is arranged to lead them to familiarize themselves, don't rush to make a move."

"Do it in the next few days? Are you in a hurry when you first arrived in Kyoto? Wu Jiang said worriedly.

After a long period of comfort, Wu Jiang has obviously lost a lot of sharpness, Liu Zuochen does not like this kind of maturity, or it should not be called maturity but should be called the golden mean, which is very different from his Liu Zuochen's consistent advocacy. It is never domineering, but it does not mean that you have to swallow your anger when you are bullied.

Not to mention what kind of mentality Li Gong had when he kicked Zhang Kang's leg off, he didn't put Liu Zuochen in his eyes, which made him resentful. If he had been in Kyoto all along, even if he Li Gong had such a plan, would he really dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? Obviously, if you are not fully sure that you are safe and sound, you must not dare to act rashly.

At the same time, this also shows that the father and son of the Li family have gained power in front of the emperor in the past few years, and the thief's heart is not dead and he is ready to move again, Liu Zuochen will never allow his father to be so arrogant, at least he must give the dogs and cubs who are surrounding the two of them a look, the Liu family in the General's Mansion is not a chicken and a dog thief can be peeped at, even if it is an entourage, it cannot be offended.

"Although Li Gong has been given an ultimatum, he must not just stop like this, even if Uncle Zhang Kang is opposed, I will not give up!" Liu Zuochen said, looking at the night outside the house, he clearly remembered that when he set up an ambush for Li Gong many years ago, Wu Jiang was with him, and Wu Jiang's eyes at that time were shining with a strange brilliance, how could he be so slack like now?

"I see, let's arrange it."

Wu Jiang agreed, exited the room, and walked out of the door, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief. After the past eight years ago, Wu Jiang realized the preciousness of life, just a few months, the officials of Kyoto City, large and small, were beheaded countless times, shouting and swaggering in front of people before his death, I am afraid that he did not understand why he buried his life so easily until he died.

In this tiger and leopard rampant Kyoto City, no one dares to offend anyone and no one dares to despise it, that Xu Zaibo is unheard but has the potential of a carp jumping over the dragon gate, with the help of the emperor's prestige, it can be said that he is calling for wind and rain, and there are really not a few officials who died under him.

I can't feel the realm of being lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, just feeling the fragility of life, Wu Jiang cherishes it more and more, what is more important than being alive?

Wu Jiang, who was thinking like this, looked up at the sky and hurriedly walked towards the side room.

The General's Mansion is very quiet, at least in Liu Zuochen's opinion, there is no old man and no cousin is there, Liu Zuochen doesn't know if Zhang Kang is beckoning a group of people to drink secretly, and he doesn't know what they are bragging about or talking about each other.

Ignoring what they were doing and thinking, Liu Zuochen was thinking about Princess Ruxuan, I didn't know why I was thinking, and I didn't know if she was thinking about herself, but she was faintly excited in her heart, and she couldn't understand why she was excited.

In this way, his mind was full of Princess Ruxuan's smile and slowly fell asleep......

"Childe, it's time to get up for breakfast, I'll go to the restaurant first if it's okay."

Liu Zuochen, who agreed, opened his sleepy eyes, only to find that it was already three poles in the sun, and his brain was groggy after a night's dream, like a hangover and not waking up.

should go to Prince Qing's Mansion to meet the prince, Liu Zuochen, who was muttering in his mouth, touched his swollen head and carefully followed his thoughts.

"Wow! I haven't seen him for a few years, and the bastard boy is getting more and more handsome, but it's not like Liu Lie's crooked melon and bad dates. ”

seems to have a very prejudiced prejudice against the old Liu Tou, Prince Qing actually compared him to a crooked melon and cracked dates, Liu Zuochen looks at the appearance of the old man now, not to mention that he is suave when he is young, he must be dignified. Liu Zuochen thought so, and didn't talk to the prince, but just smiled wryly.

"Lord Wang, I heard that the imperial court is going to send troops to Shiguo?"

His eyes widened suddenly, and Prince Qing asked in surprise, "How can you know about this ......?" ”

"It seems that the guess of the prince of Tazi is true." Liu Zuochen smiled and said that he was thinking in his heart, as for being so surprised? It seems to be a big secret, and the prince of Tazi has anticipated the possible actions of the imperial court in the future, are you still in the dark?

It turned out that he had met with Prince Tazi, Prince Qing was suddenly relieved, Prince Qing was surprised because he was worried about Liu Zuochen's channel to learn the news, if he got the news from Li Ziqin, the only explanation was that the camp relationship was complicated, and it didn't seem to be so bad.

Last night, Prince Qing got the news that Liu Zuochen entered Li Ziqin's mansion alone, Princess Ruxuan went out of the mansion to show quite intimacy, and went to Liu Zuochen's restaurant to have dinner with His Royal Highness the Third Prince in the evening.

Such news is definitely not good news for Prince Qing, who values the relationship between the camp's position.

At least, Prince Qing thinks that he has paid a lot for Liu Zuochen over the years, and he has deviated from the track he has mastered without getting the due return, which is something he can't bear.

"Lord Tazi? What did the old fox tell you? "Please think that there is no need to beat around the bush, just do it directly. After all, the current Liu Zuochen is not the little broken child he was a few years ago, and there should be some opinions on some things, and some powerful relationships should be distinguished.

briefly explained the analysis of the Tazi prince, but deliberately concealed the business matter, because what Liu Zuochen was concerned about was whether after attacking the Shiguo country, as the Tazi prince said, Antai might attack the Great Food Country and affect the father.

"The leader of the attack on Shiguo is Li Hai, there is no ......doubt that it is Li Hai" Prince Qing blurted out, and suddenly stopped, he was thinking about whether he should disclose the deep things to Liu Zuochen, in this way, it will be the strength of the entire Antai hidden in all aspects, and the kid in front of him will be revealed. Prince Qing was weighing the pros and cons, and at the same time guessing the bet, betting that Liu Zuochen would stand on his side.

I don't know what Prince Qing is thinking, Liu Zuochen saw his solemn expression, faintly guessing that there might be something important to explain, and he also looked at Prince Qing with a solemn look, so he silently waited for him to elaborate.

"Let me tell you! Looking back, you Lao Tzu has entered Kyoto, so let's refer to it together. ”

Prince Qing specially mentioned Liu Zuochen's old son Liu Shangwu, how could Liu Zuochen not know what he meant, nodded with a slight smile, but said in his heart, you old fox can't play some new tricks?

"Li Hai is Li Ziqin's eldest son, and this time to send troops to Shi Guo must be a great achievement......" Speaking of this, Prince Qing didn't know what he thought, and couldn't help laughing, "The emperor should be happy to see a country in his pocket now, and Shi Guo will be his springboard for conquering the countries of the Western Regions, with the help of favorable terrain, just like the prince of Tazi guessed, it can basically be concluded that war with the Great Food Country is a foregone conclusion." ”

"Foregone conclusion?"

Liu Zuochen couldn't understand that the long journey to conquer other countries was bound to cost the people and money, and there should be many people who opposed this kind of move, why did it become a foregone conclusion? This is too far from the benevolent world that the emperor has always advertised.

After taking a deep look at Liu Zuochen, Prince Qing secretly thought to himself, this Liu Zuochen looks wise, but he is still young and tender, and some things can't be seen through at all. Today's Antai officialdom has been drastically changed by the emperor eight years ago, and it has changed beyond recognition, and some old camp forces have been greatly frustrated, even if they have some views, they dare not express them easily, and the new forces are pressing step by step, with the acquiescence of the emperor with ulterior motives, and the interests have changed.

It can be said that the new forces and the old forces are now on par. While the old and the new are pinching each other, the emperor is naturally happy to see that as long as either side is a little too prosperous, just move his fingers lightly, and the lever is still the same stable.

At this time, Da Antai, the emperor has not taken care of internal troubles, so the next thing is to conquer foreign regions and expand the territory into history, and a generation of emperors has not made progress in the territory of their rule, so what is the name of the ages?

Therefore, Prince Qing did not explain too much to Liu Zuochen, "Territory is the thing that the emperor is most interested in at present. The emperor will not tolerate a kingdom that once bowed down to him to rise under his own nose. The Shi country, which defects to another country, will be the emperor's warning to other countries, and the Great Food Country will be the territory of the official conquest. ”

"You also know that the closest army to the Great Food Country is your Lao Tzu, and the relationship between this king and your Lao Tzu naturally does not need to be detailed, and you also know a little about the many years of communication between the Great Food Country and this king, so some things are definitely not as simple as your eyes see."

Prince Qing, deliberately generalized, still made Liu Zuochen see that he was tired, and the co-author was that the emperor was going to start reshuffling the military forces while fighting abroad after a few years of silence.
