Li Yan looked at Li Ze a little stunned, and then looked a little annoyed, and grinned silently, this general with a heavy army in his hand did not seem to have no weaknesses.

He beckoned, and on the other side of the pool, a small boat slid out silently and stopped lightly in front of the two of them.

"Would the general be willing to be with me?" Li Yan jumped on the boat with agility, turned his head and asked Li Ze with a smile.

Li Ze also boarded the boat with a smile: "It is an honor for the minister to be able to swim in the Taiye Pool with His Majesty." ”

The rower's arms moved slightly, the two paddles poked into the water, and the boat moved forward steadily. It provoked Li Zeduo to look at him, and unlike the feminine image given to him by the ordinary eunuch, the eunuch in front of him was tall and majestic, if he had a big beard, he would definitely be a majestic man.

"General, you are the same age as me, I have something to ask you, but please don't follow the example of those old men in the court, talking in a fog, going around, wanting to know what they are talking about, more often than not, you have to guess. Therefore, I hope you can answer me very directly, there are only two people here, you and I here, the Fa does not pass on the six ears, you say it, I listen, and then I will give up, how about it? Staring at Li Ze's eyes, Li Yan said very sincerely.

Li Ze glanced up at the eunuch.

Li Yan shook his head and said, "He can't hear with his ears, he doesn't have a tongue, and he can't read." ”

The eunuch grinned when he saw that the eyes of both of them turned to him, and with his smile, Li Ze could clearly see that there was really no tongue in this person's mouth. I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wants to know?" He asked cautiously.

"To what extent has Datang reached now?" Li Yan asked.

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, now the Tang Dynasty is in danger, and it will overturn at any time. ”

"The imperial court still has Heluo Guandong, there are still 200,000 Shence troops, and they still directly control millions of people, this is Yu Nei, Yu Wai, and Gao Yu, and loyal generals like the general, how can they be in danger?" It seemed to be expected, and unexpected, Li Yan asked.

"Your Majesty, Gao Shuai and I are now both involved in Zhang Zhongwu, and we can't take care of him." Li Ze analyzed: "And the danger of the imperial court is not only Zhang Zhongwu, it can even be said that Zhang Zhongwu is just an introduction, because of the existence of ministers and handsomes, Zhang Zhongwu is not enough to suffer, and will inevitably be exterminated by us, this is only a matter of time, and those who are more serious are under the nose of the imperial court." ”

"Do you mean Tian Chenghei?" Li Yan said fiercely: "In Mengjindu, he colluded with the Lu Longren to attack the general, and his wolf ambition has been undoubtedly demonstrated. ”

"He's just one of them." Li Ze shook his head and said: "In fact, it is not only Tian Chengsi who attacked as a minister in Mengjindu, but also Zhu Wen of Xuanwu. As for whether there are other people involved in this, no one knows. ”

"If the imperial court sends troops to attack Tian Chenghei, what are the odds?" Li Yan asked suddenly.

Li Ze was a little funny, he couldn't imagine that Li Yan was still so childlike.

"Your Majesty, Tian Chenghei is still His Majesty's courtier, and his crimes are not obvious, in what name does His Majesty crusade against him?" Li Ze asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty has killed his courtiers for no reason, what will other festivals and towns think?" Will they unite and fight against the imperial court? The imperial court does have 200,000 divine troops now, but how much can it send troops? Can the food and grass needed for the troops be supplied on time? How long is this battle going to be fought, and what if it can't be resolved quickly? What if it fails? General Chen Bangzhao and General Zuo Wuwei Qin Zhao are both battlefield generals, has Your Majesty discussed it with them? ”

Li Yan fell silent.

Looking at Li Yan's appearance, Li Ze suddenly realized. He must have discussed this issue with these confidant generals, and he must have been dismissed by these generals. He asked himself, he just wanted to seek his own support, after all, in the past two years, under the situation of lack of soldiers and major generals, lack of food, grass and silver salary, he won successive battles, won Henghai, and captured Yingzhou, which may have given Li Yan some confidence.

But those victories of oneself are all premised.

Laid down Henghai, that is because he has been operating in Henghai for many years, without the previous nearly ten years of operation, without the contempt for himself from the top and bottom of the sea, and without the form of the entire northern land at that time, how could he have achieved today's results? And whether it is Wei Bo or Xuanwu, they are all under the nose of Heluo Pass, what these Jiezhen Dynasty is thinking about is to take Chang'an, and I don't know how many years they have been preparing for this, how can these people be comparable to Henghai Zhushou?

"In this case, can I only watch these rebellious ministers and thieves be so arrogant and domineering and unable to do anything?" Li Yan asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Your Majesty only needs to endure it for a few more years, and work with the bosses of the court to maintain the current situation, and wait until the minister and Gao Shuai take Zhang Zhongwu, then it is the time to clean them up, when the time comes, the minister and Gao Shuai will raise troops to the south, Your Majesty has 200,000 troops in Heluo Pass, and under the persecution of the two sides, I am afraid that there is no need to use troops and swords, so that these people can become loyal ministers of the court."

"Loyal minister, hehe!" Li Yan sneered.

"At that time, Your Majesty will have more space to rectify the rivers and mountains, one by one to clean up these chaotic ministers and thieves, and eradicate these countries within the country one by one, and at that time, it will be the real one who follows me and prosper, and those who oppose me will die, either come to Chang'an to be a rich and noble minister, or die and the clan will be wiped out, the ministers think about this choice, they will definitely be easy to choose, right?" Li Ze said with a smile.

Li Yan's eyes flashed: "This is the first cutting town among the eight strategies offered by the general?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Ze said.

Li Yan looked at Li Ze with some amusement: "But general, at that time, you can be regarded as the first town in the world." ”

"Your Majesty's will, the minister will definitely carry it out." Li Ze owed. "I think Gao Shuai will inevitably be the same. With us as an example, if there is any disobedience in other festivals, the ministers will lead a large army to fight for His Majesty. ”

"If this is really the case, then the next step is to clean up the fields, households, rectify the rule of officials, lightly punish the meager endowment, and revitalize the rivers and mountains." Li Yan's eyes flashed with excitement, "General, if you and I join forces, we can really do this, then I can be regarded as the king of the Tang Dynasty, and you will be the minister of the Tang Dynasty, you and I are of the same age, as long as we can work together to overcome the difficulties and rebuild China, the monarch and the minister will get along, and it will inevitably become a good story." ”

"Would the General be willing to work with me on this end?"

Looking at Li Yan's eager gaze, Li Ze smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't the minister in the same boat with Your Majesty now?" If the minister has no intention, how can he send his mother's wife to Chang'an! The minister did this just to show his heart to His Majesty. ”

"Okay, good, with a minister like the general, I feel at ease. I am here in Chang'an, waiting for the good news from you and Gao Shuai. Li Yan said happily.

Seeing that Li Ze's desire to speak stopped, Li Yan smiled and said: "The general doesn't have to worry, in fact, the three towns of Chengde, Henghai, and Zhenwu were merged, and I had already made up my mind to do so when the general agreed to go to Chang'an, even if there were many opponents, I would not change my original intention." After the merger of the three towns, it will be called Wuwei, highlighting the great martial power of my Tang Dynasty, in order to deter those who are young. In the near future, a formal edict will be issued. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Ze was overjoyed, he had been in Chang'an for so long, and one of his biggest goals had finally been achieved. "Wuwei will definitely clear the sky for His Majesty, and return the Tang Dynasty to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yan continued: "The general's father is still here, but after the town, he will inevitably step down as the envoy of the Chengde Festival, and the court will be gracious to him, and Li Anguo and Li Shuai will be the king of Zhending County." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your mother was supposed to be named the princess of Zhending County, and Jin Yipin was given a fate, but the court discussed it again and again, and still shelved this proposal, but Jin named her a three-life edict, I don't know what the general thinks?"

Li Ze bowed and said: "This is very good, if it is really Jin to make my mother the princess of Zhending County, I am afraid that my mother will never accept it." Mothers are precious because of their children, and it is justified. ”

"I summoned you today, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is also summoning your mother and fiancée, this meaning, naturally the Queen Mother announced to them, the Queen Mother will accept Liu Ruyan as a righteous daughter, and Jin will be the county lord, then Liu Ruyan will also be my sister, hahaha, general, we will be considered in-laws in the future." I will marry you, the Lord. ”

"Your Majesty Hongen, the minister has nothing to repay, but to shroud His Majesty's horse leather and do his best." Li Ze stood up on the boat and squeezed his fist deeply at Li Yan.

"The general doesn't have to be polite." Li Yan seemed to be very proud, "The craftsmen you want, I also agreed, and there will be an edict in the near future, moving two thousand craftsmen to Wuwei Festival Town, the general wants those craftsmen, let people pick them themselves, and finally just report the roster." ”

In this era, don't be a craftsman, it's those rich and powerful people, who give an order to you to immigrate, and you have to obey. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often moved the world's wealthy families to Guanzhong to enhance the strength of Guanzhong, which was a strategy for strengthening the weak branches.

"There are also students who are too learning, as long as they are willing to go, they can go as much as they want." Li Yan smiled and said: "It's just that those scholars, I can't force them, I can only volunteer." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Ze was beaming.

"General, I have given you so much grace, and now I also have a request, I wonder if the general may grant it?"

"Your Majesty commands!" Li Ze was stunned in his heart, there are additional conditions for his feelings.

"I often hear Chen Bangzhao and Qin Zhao sigh, saying that the combat effectiveness of today's Shence Army is far inferior to before, I have also heard that the general has trained his troops well, and his combat power is strong, and the battle of Mengjindu has also proved that the number of one hundred and fifty is hard to shake more than a thousand chaotic troops, and they will win the battle, and I yearn for it, so I want to send a Shence army to fight under the command of the general of Wuwei Town, for a year, and when the general has trained them well, he will rotate another one, so that the general has more troops available, and I can also train a division of tigers and wolves."
