Chapter 124: What is Gold Plating?

"Dao Chief, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot? Qin Shou asked with some surprise.

"Huh?"

Qin Shou shook his hand in front of Li Jing before Li Jing came to his senses.

He wiped his face a little embarrassed and forcibly excused: "That..... After cultivating internal cultivation skills, it is easy to get angry, and your wine is also strong, so it is inevitable to sweat! ”

This Nima!

Li Jing hadn't jumped out of Qin Shou's words at this time, his hands and feet couldn't stop sweating, and his soul almost came out.

I feel top-heavy and shallow, holding my forehead, as if my head is several times bigger, and I am in a trance!

I was thinking about how to maintain my demeanor before, but now I don't think about anything, the only thing I think about is to figure out what this Qin Gongzi means.

Why do you say that after you die, the family will decline quickly?

Li Jing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva fiercely, then sat down again, coughed lightly, and asked, "Why did this son say that the Li Jing family would decline in the future?" ”

"I can be regarded as a wanderer in the rivers and lakes, but I still know General Li Jing, and if I can make such a great achievement, even Yu Yin should be able to ensure that future generations are safe and sound, right?"

"As long as you don't make any mistakes, how can you decline so quickly?"

Li Jing seemed to shake out the doubts in his heart indifferently, but the hand tightly clenched on his back betrayed him.

His eyes were like lightning staring at Qin Shou's eyes.

saw Qin Shou scratching his head, and asked lightly: "Have you ever heard of a saying that people go to tea and cool?" ”

"People go tea cool?"

Qin Shou Han Shuo said: "That's right, this ostensibly means that when a cup of hot tea is served to entertain guests, the guests leave, and the hot tea will be cold if no one drinks it for a long time." The implication of this is also very simple, the world is hot and cold, not to mention the officialdom, the people in power have left, and they have no use value for others, who else can they be counted on? ”

Li Jing: "......"

He was suddenly speechless, his mind was full of thoughts but he couldn't speak half a word, and his throat was even more phlegm-free but he couldn't open his mouth.

How could he not understand this truth, it was just too cruel to bear to face!

"Whew~"

After a long time, he sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be like this, it's really embarrassing!" ”

Li Jing's hands trembled a little and picked up the cup on the table, drank all the wine in it, and calmed down his mood a little.

He looked at the river, and at this time, it suddenly began to rain on the "rustle" above the Huai Shui.

The coldness and loneliness on Li Jing's face became more and more obvious.

"Then may I ask Xiaoyou, is the decline of the Li Jing family inevitable?"

Li Jing finally asked this topic in his heart, intentionally or unintentionally.

For him, he can ignore the rest, but the family problem is something that he can't worry about no matter what, his beloved wife is gone, and if he can't even protect her children, then ......

Especially when I thought of Huo Ziqian and the extraordinaryness of the Qin Gongzi he described, my heart was even heavier.

Even if he is known as the god of the Tang Dynasty by the world, he knows too many things but he can't help himself, and he can't be absolute.

As far as he is concerned, this troubled water above the court, as a member of the military, he does not dare to step into it easily, which will violate His Majesty's taboo,

But as this Qin Gongzi said, even if he is far away from the court, it is difficult to prevent the decline of the family

He's really stuck!

suddenly

A face appeared a little closer, it was the Qin Gongzi in front of him.

"Why would the Taoist chief ask that? It can't have anything to do with Li Jing, right? ”

These words shocked everyone present, and their eyes shrank suddenly, and they all glanced at Li Jing.

But seeing that Li Jing was stunned for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "No..... No, this is not a hurry, and I can't help but want to hear Xiaoyou's opinions. ”

"Oh" Qin Shou said with an unexpected expression: "Come to think of it, Li Jing's kind of person has high eyelids, but he is not a heroic man like a bearded guest, and it is definitely not something we can see if we want to see it." ”

Li Jing's face turned a little blue.

Qin Shou continued: "We can't count our high opinions, but according to my opinion, Li Jing at least corrects his own mistakes, if he wants to learn from the dragon's skill, stand in line and don't be crooked." ”

"Otherwise, don't get involved at all, I'm afraid that kind of hesitation, if you leave, this is the original sin, whether you succeed or not, in the end, you won't be able to end up on either side."

Li Jing's face was as if he was constipated, and it was even more ugly.

To be honest, he was really afraid of taking sides, and if he stood wrong, it would be a real catastrophe.

"Of course, his identity is special, in fact, if he doesn't follow the dragon's skills, it is the best policy.

"Huh?"

At this time, Li Jing couldn't help but be a little confused, even Li Ke, Cheng Chubi, Changsun Jian and others were also confused.

This just said that people go to tea and cool, why do you keep yourself away from court disputes now?

"Isn't it possible that if you don't follow the dragon's skill, you can protect the family and keep the family from declining?"

Qin Shou shook his head, "Of course it's not that simple, if you really don't want to stand in line, you have to pay other costs, there is a saying: if you want to get by in the future, you have to have a green ..... No, you have to have some gold? ”

"Gold?"

Li Jing couldn't help frowning, everyone was even more confused, they didn't know what gold plating was?

"Yes, it's going to be gilded!

"What is gold plating?"

"Gold plating is to stick a layer of gold on the outside of the utensils," Qin Shou said with a smile: "What is General Li Jing's greatest ability?" ”

"Fighting!"

Qin Shou nodded: "That's right, this General Li is a professional in fighting, since this is the case, then continue to fight!" ”

Everyone's brows tightened, and Li Ke's eyes immediately lit up, "You mean to let Lord Li Jing continue to win the battle?" ”

Li Jing's eyes were also burning as he looked at Qin Shou, his mind was full of life, and he couldn't stop thinking.

But seeing Qin Shou, he sneered and said: "He is already a very good minister, no matter how much credit he wins, it doesn't make much sense, it's important to find a way out for his children and grandchildren,"

"I mean, creating opportunities to fight, pressing the battle yourself, letting your children and grandchildren experience and obtain military merits, this is the so-called gilding!"

This......

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing couldn't help but be shocked, and the light in his eyes flashed.

Even Li Ke, Cheng Chubi, Changsun Jian and others were stunned

Is this called gilding?

This word suddenly fell into everyone's minds like thunder.

But when you think about it, something seems wrong.

Li Jing frowned, and couldn't help but wonder, "But what if the children and grandchildren don't have military talent?" ”

"Do you still use gilding if you have military talent? What is gold plating? Have you ever seen a Buddha statue, what is inside the Buddha statue? ”

Cheng Chubi: "Mud? ”

"That's right, if it's real gold, why should it be plated? The significance of gold plating lies in the fact that even if it is a straw bale, the mud that can't support the wall is coated with a layer of golden military feats, and it can be distinguished in front of people! ”

Their hearts trembled.

The concept in my heart is ups and downs, and I used to think that military feats were all fought with a knife and a gun, and they were all filled in with life.

I didn't expect that I could still play like this?

At this moment, Li Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, staring at Qin Shou like fire, and his heart was horrified.

Who the hell is this guy?

Why do you think this way?

Is this called playing your own professional?

"Shhh

Li Ke, Cheng Chubi, and Changsun Juan's eyes also flickered, and their eyes turned straight, carefully thinking about the meaning of Qin Shou's words.

What does this mean, it means that if you are involved, it may bring much more than you think.

......

Li Jing thought for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "But now, the four seas are one, what battle can be fought?" ”

Qin Shou said with a smile: "Who said that, our Datang still has an uneasy place." ”

"Where?"

"Goguryeo!"

Li Jing couldn't help but look strange when he heard this, and his heart was surprised and happy.

I was surprised that Qin Shou saw it thoroughly, and I was glad that I didn't expect this little friend to think the same way.

Qin Shou said: "Goguryeo is like a thorn in the middle ages to the dynasties of the Middle Ages, if you don't get rid of it, it will be like a fish in your throat." When the Central Plains was strong and stable, Goguryeo was expelled or submitted, and when the Central Plains was in turmoil, Goguryeo took advantage of the situation to make chaos or develop, especially during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Goguryeo developed very strongly"

"But can we let Goguryeo develop?"

"No, not to mention the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? Let's just say that when the Central Plains was in turmoil, Goguryeo didn't take advantage of the situation to make chaos or develop?

In the former Sui Dynasty, he conquered Goguryeo three times, and this dog thing actually surrendered.

The final dramatic result was: the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo four times, and Goguryeo was not destroyed, but he was overthrown and retreated first, which shows that although Goguryeo is small, it is tenacious and treacherous.

The eyes of the crowd were gloomy, and finally they all nodded.

At this time, Li Ke couldn't help but ask: "But you need a reason to fight, didn't Goguryeo send envoys here before, and there is no reason to send troops!" ”

Qin Shou couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "You also believe this?" What kind of country is Goguryeo? This is a country where if you smile at him, he will itch, I estimate that at this time, the three kingdoms of Baekje and Goguryeo in Japan have been united, and they will definitely send troops to Silla at that time, isn't the reason to come? ”

Also, in addition to dealing with the constant disputes in the "Three Kingdoms of Korea", Goguryeo began to use troops against the Khitan, isn't this all a reason to send troops? ”

Well?

Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned, was he?

How did you not know?

Li Ke, Cheng Chubi, Changsun Jian and others couldn't help scratching their heads at this time, is this true?

Li Jing squinted his eyes and said in his heart: It seems that we have to explore Goguryeo.

He barely squeezed out a few smiles, and asked Qin Shou again: "But Goguryeo is not so easy to fight!" I heard that its strength is very strong. ”

"Former Sui, three expeditions to Goguryeo, a total of more than 2.9 million militias were mobilized and Goguryeo was not destroyed, but the more and more they jumped, this is not something that can be destroyed with a word!"

"Don't be at that time, the Li family didn't get the military merits, but was defeated, this is just that the rice didn't get into your mouth and the bowl was dropped."

The big war is not child's play, it is not a matter of one sentence.

He can't ignore the lives of the court and soldiers in order to let his children and grandchildren get military merits, if this is the case, he will be a sinner of the Tang Dynasty.

He would rather have the family decline than do it.

When Qin Shou heard this, he couldn't help but praise Li Jing and said, "Yo, Dao Chief, I didn't expect you to have this kind of vision, and you can see it so thoroughly?" ”

"However, after all, the Taoist chief is not a person who leads troops to fight, and his thinking is still a little narrow."

"We can't underestimate Li Jing, this old guy, after all, he is a professional, and he has been fighting for decades, can he still have a way to deal with Goguryeo?"

"......" Li Jing's face turned pale!

I can't stop scolding in my heart, but what does it mean to myself?

If it weren't for his own close relationship, he would have called him in the face according to his temper.

Qin Shou said with a little excitement on his face: "Besides, who stipulates that a war must be fought on a large scale and kill the other party at once?"

"What should we pay attention to in winning the war? We all know that war will pay attention to the right time, place and people! ”

"If there is a difficulty, will we not be able to do it?"

"No, there are difficulties to go up, and there are no difficulties to create difficulties!"

"There is no time, place, and people to create such conditions......"

What?

What does this mean?

What does it mean that there is no difficulty, and that there is no difficulty? What does it mean to create conditions that are favorable to heaven and place?

Everyone looked at Qin Shou in a daze, and the fruit on the tree was stunned......

Looking at everyone's bewildered faces, Qin Shou said directly: "Why did Goguryeo send us to the Tang Dynasty? All we want is to be able to continue to develop, but we just don't let them get their way, we don't launch a large-scale war against Goguryeo, and we adopt a harassment strategy, that is, we deploy troops and allocate to constantly harass Goguryeo, so that Goguryeo cannot develop. ”

"The core of this is that it can be summarized as a 16-character principle: the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase after ......"

Qin Shou talked about the guerrilla tactics of his previous life.

But everyone was stunned.

Li Jing is also the boss with his eyes open, the more he listens, the more excited he becomes, and when he hears the excitement, he can't help but stop: "Xiaoyou, let's talk about it again." ”

"Dao Chief, don't get so excited!" Qin Shou couldn't help but be stunned by Li Jing's expression.

Li Jing: "What Xiaoyou said seems to be the art of war and tactics? Do you have a name? ”

"This is called guerrilla warfare, and it can be used for harassment operations, and it can also be used in conjunction with large-scale operations."

Qin Shou looked at Li Jing, "I can't imagine that the Dao Master is still so interested in the method of warfare?" ”

Li Jing's face turned red.

"Then Xiaoyou, are there any other tactics?"

"What kind of person is Yuangai Suwen? He ascended to the throne after killing the king, and after ascending the throne, the dictatorship was full of complaints in the country, so was there no one who opposed it in the country? ”

"Raise it, you can even contact his sons to see if there is anything against it, as the saying goes, the fruit starts to rot from the inside......"

"Goo-toot!"

At this time, when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but roll their Adam's apples and send chills down their spines.

This Nima, one plan after another, is creepy!

.....

Inside the East Palace

The crown prince Li Chengqian was grounded by His Majesty because of his vain talk about Qin Shou

At this time, Hou Junji came to visit.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has found the person you said, this person is the niece of Lord Wei Zheng and the daughter of the Pei family....."

"Oh, Pei, in this way, he is not a member of the Shu clan." Li Chengqian couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Well, how old is this girl?" Li Chengqian knocked on the table and asked with burning eyes.

"This girl is in her prime, two out of twenty, she is an old girl....." Hou Junji said with some pity.

In his concept, after the age of peach and plum (twenty years old), she is already a "leftover woman", and the cardamom year is the best when she is in the age of dancing elephants. (Pink and fragrant from a family, not allowing peach and plum to occupy the years)

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian got up suddenly, "Okay, good ....."

Said a few good words in a row.

Hou Junji's face also turned red when he saw this, looked at Li Chengqian, and stood with his eyebrows

In this way, His Royal Highness didn't dislike women, but he thought they were too young, so tempting!

Before, I was worried that there was a problem with the prince's orientation, and I was worried that if the Son of Heaven and 'Satisfaction' continued to do such nonsense, there would be problems sooner or later, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to have a heart for a long time.

"Your Highness, the minister will then talk to Lord Wei Zheng." Hou Junji said with a smile.

"Then I'll be annoying Lord Hou!"

“......”

The two talked a few more topics, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

......

Hou Junji, who came out of the East Palace, smiled, because the boulder that had been pressing on his heart was finally lifted today, and he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.

Even his steps were much lighter, and he couldn't wait to step into Wei Zheng's mansion.

When he arrived at Wei Zheng's mansion, it happened that Wei Zheng was about to go out.

"Lord Wei, can you please have a few drinks today?"

Wei Zheng waved his hand when he heard this: "Chen Guogong, today is really not a coincidence, Your Majesty summoned you, let's talk about it another day!" ”

To be honest, I don't want to see this person in private.

Now His Majesty is in full swing, but this courtier is surrounded by the crown prince, how can he not know his intention?

Hou Junji hurriedly grabbed Wei Zheng, "Lord Wei, don't be busy going out yet, I have a great deal to discuss with you!" ”

Hou Junji is a military general made a move, and under the grip of his hand, Wei Zheng naturally couldn't break free, so he could only ask with a dark face: "Chen Guogong...... What do you mean by that? ”

"It's just a few words to you, so as not to delay you to see Your Majesty!"

"Okay, you say!" Wei Zheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot and said.

Last time, he suffered a loss from the eldest grandson Wuji, and this time he didn't have much resistance.

"I heard you have a niece? No...... To be precise, your wife has a niece named Pei Wanyin? Hou Junji looked at Wei Zheng with a torch in his eyes and asked.

"Ah..... That's right! Wei Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

At the same time, the eyes rolled, and the heart was puzzled.

Lao Hou asked what is this for?

Hou Junji said with a smile: "That's right, if it's a great thing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to your niece." ”

"Think about it, if your niece marries into the East Palace, she may be the crown princess, or even become the queen in the future......"

Wei Zheng: "......"

This incident made his brain a little dazed all of a sudden, buzzing, and he didn't react for a long time.

This..... What's going on?

Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look at the evening chant?

"Lord Wei, Lord Wei?" Hou Junji saw Wei Zheng in a trance, and thought he was excited, so he couldn't help patting him and said with a smile: "How about it, I didn't expect that a great good thing could fall on your family." ”

"I heard that your niece has found a lot of money and has not married, and it is a real blessing to be able to marry into the East Palace this time!"

Hou Junji looked at Wei Zheng with a sluggish face, and the joy in his heart rose to the extreme.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath and patted Wei Zheng's shoulder, a smile blooming on his face.

But the next moment, his hands and expression froze all at once.

"Chen Guogong, my niece has already married another woman!"

"Huh?"

Hou Junji raised his head in surprise, his hands and feet were cold, his face changed wildly, and his eyes suddenly became infiltrating, grabbing Wei Zheng and asking again, "No...... What the hell is going on, didn't you say that your niece didn't get married? ”

......

Wei Zheng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "What, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, I didn't get married, but the raw rice was cooked and cooked!" ”

"I ....." Hou Junji almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Wei Zheng, and held back a sentence for a while: "Old Zamao, you mistook me!" ”
