At about four o'clock, Li Xiaofei woke up, and at this time, Pharmacist Zhu couldn't stay up and was already asleep.

Li Xiaofei was thirsty, he stretched out his hand before he opened his eyes, and when he stretched out his hand, he found that there was still someone on the bed, he shrank his hand and opened his eyes, and under the dim light, Pharmacist Zhu's face first came into view, and then looked around, and knew that he was sleeping on the dragon bed.

A foot away from the curtain in front of the bed, there were two inner prisoners kneeling on the ground waiting for the dispatch, and when they saw that Li Xiaofei was awake, they hurriedly handed over a glass of water.

Li Xiaofei gently took the water and drank it all, ready to speak, but the internal supervisor made a silent gesture and motioned for Li Xiaofei to continue sleeping.

Li Xiaofei had to slowly lie back in place and close his eyes, but he couldn't sleep at this time.

Last night, they were just drunk and slept on the dragon bed, how should this Zhu pharmacist deal with it after waking up. On this dragon bed, in addition to the emperor and the harem concubines, how can outsiders sleep.

Li Xiaofei was thinking about it, and there was an internal supervisor outside the palace gate shouting: "Rise at dawn, all opportunities are on standby, the king is early, and the world is peaceful!" ”

Then he shouted several times, and more and more people shouted, and finally woke up Pharmacist Zhu.

When Pharmacist Zhu woke up, Li Xiaofei was already kneeling next to the inner prison: "Your Majesty, Li Xiaofei is guilty of capital crimes, and he actually spent the night in the palace last night!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his eyes: "It's okay, go to the morning court with me, I don't know if you still remember what you said last night?" ”

Li Xiaofei shook his head: "I can't drink enough, I can't say anything, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu stood up, and the two inner eunuchs had already brought the dragon robe for him to wear.

Pharmacist Zhu opened his arms: "Xiao Fei, you promised to be an official under me last night and fight for me in the north and south!" ”

Li Xiaofei said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, those who come will not refuse!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu was taken aback: "You didn't even say anything about the loyal ministers and the two masters?" I even said yes? ”

Li Xiaofei smiled: "The minister has already been a big official of several countries, as the so-called more officials are not pressing, it doesn't hurt to have one more." Haha"

Pharmacist Zhu also laughed: "It seems that you are still a piece of fragrant gluttony, and all countries are vying for it, as soon as you say this, I don't give you high-ranking officials Houlu, but it seems that I am stingy!" ”

Li Xiaofei waved his hand: "No, no, no, even if you are a groom for Your Majesty, it is also Xiaofei's honor!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu waved his hand: "Don't say these flattering words, I haven't heard anyone tell the truth for a long time, and I don't want you to tell lies by my side every day!" ”

Li Xiaofei arched his hands: "Okay, Your Majesty wants to listen to the truth, and the minister will only tell the truth!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu had finished dressing and walked down the steps: "Let's go, don't talk about it, follow me to the Taiji Hall and open the way!" ”

As soon as the road opened, the palace door opened, and a hundred heavily armored warriors outside guarded both sides with Geshu halberds, and more than a dozen inner supervisors were playing lanterns, and Luan Jia was already waiting outside the palace gate.

Pharmacist Zhu got on the Luan car, Li Xiaofei followed on the side, and walked for more than an hour, the sky was already bright, and the party arrived at the Taiji Palace.

The civil and military ministers in the Taiji Hall had already stood in two shifts, and the chief of the internal supervision shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" Ministers go to court! ”

"The emperor is diligent in government, all the people are blessed, long live, long live, long live!" The mountain in the temple shouted

Li Xiaofei was still pulled by Pharmacist Zhu to stand next to the throne.

Pharmacist Zhu glanced at the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, this morning is to continue to discuss many matters that were not resolved yesterday. The first thing is to negotiate peace with Liu Jian! ”

The ministers were a little puzzled, yesterday they clearly said that they would send troops to the west, and today it became to continue to negotiate peace, but it was not good to ask too much, so they continued to listen to Zhu Yaoshi's orders.

"Li Xiaofei, you should tell you about the terms of the peace negotiation," Pharmacist Zhu looked at Li Xiaofei

Li Xiaofei walked down the steps, turned around and knelt in front of Zhu Yaoshi: "This first one, there is only one Liang State in the world, and naturally there is only one emperor, and that is Your Majesty." I wonder if Your Majesty and you think this article is appropriate? ”

When the ministers heard that Liu Jian's envoy actually wanted to serve Zhu Yaoshi as the right one, they all thought that they had heard it wrong, and Song Huafu said: "Please ask the envoy to repeat this first article again!" ”

Li Xiaofei said it again, and the ministers were in an uproar, and then Dushan shouted: "Your Majesty is martial and wise, all countries are coming to the court, and the world is in the heart!" ”

But one person still couldn't stand it, Zhang Pingnan pointed at Li Xiaofei and said: "What you envoy has done is too lacking in integrity and backbone!" ”

Li Xiaofei raised his head: "My lord, integrity and backbone are things that only people can have in the face of evil and ferocity, Your Majesty treats the people leniently and governs the world with righteousness, not to mention a tyrant and a faint monarch, I only have admiration and love for Your Majesty!" What do you think? ”

"Okay, Li Xiaofei said it well, Master Zhang, this Li Xiaofei and I are old friends, and we are honest, don't embarrass him!" Pharmacist Zhu stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhang Pingnan to stop

"Li Xiaofei, get up and speak, so as not to misunderstand you"

Li Xiaofei stood in response: "Your Majesty, the second article of this peace is to take the line from Suizhou to Wuchang as the boundary, to the west to Liu Jian, and to the east to Your Majesty!" ”

The ministers discussed, but Wang Tiezhu spoke: "This boundary is very simple, so how to demarcate the ownership of Chenzhou and Tanzhou and other places that you recaptured?" ”

Li Xiaofei smiled: "These places, Chenzhou is in the west, of course it is Liu Jian's, Tanzhou is in the east, and it belongs to Your Majesty!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu thought for a moment: "Okay, as long as Liu Jian keeps his promise, I will definitely not send troops to the west first!" You go on! ”

Li Xiaofei faced Pharmacist Zhu: "This third article is that I, Li Xiaofei, am an official in His Majesty's court, and I use Li Xiaofei as a hostage to practice the peace treaty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the court blew up, and Jia Yuanen immediately asked: "If you don't make a written document, in the future, Liu Jian will tear up the peace and discuss and not admit the account, aren't we being played in vain?" ”

"There is no evidence, you have picked up an official position in vain, and you have no one above my court?"

"Could my Great Liang Junchen fall for such a clumsy scheme of yours? What a joke! ”

"Your Majesty, this Lord Li is a liar in his eyes!"

Pharmacist Zhu coughed: "Don't be impatient, everyone, I am not an idiot, since he said so, there must be tokens and reasons!" ”

Li Xiaofei took out Liu Jian's gold medal from his arms and showed it to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this token belongs to Liu Jian, and I won't run." As for the absence of a document, it couldn't be simpler. Yesterday, His Majesty was still saying, send troops to the west to sweep Liu Jian, how can I not know the prophet, today Your Majesty Longyan Dayue will agree to negotiate peace! If you prepare the paperwork in advance, you will be a liar! ”

Pharmacist Zhu also stood up: "Everyone, I held a banquet to entertain Li Xiaofei yesterday, Li Xiaofei spit out the truth after getting drunk, not to mention that others are in Jinling, if he really dares to deceive me, I can take other people's heads at any time!" ”

He Wuji came out and said: "I think this person is also a person who can't lie, not to mention that now our army is strong and Liu Jian is weak." If we want to betray the alliance, we will betray the alliance first, why are you worried about Liu Jian betraying the alliance first? Just such a stupid boy came to negotiate peace, and he scared you like this? ”

He Wuji was embarrassed and blamed by the ministers before, and almost lost his life in the Taiji Palace, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to humiliate them, and today happened to be a good opportunity, and God actually sent Li Xiaofei, a character who was not afraid of anything.

Song Huafu glanced at He Wuji, and stopped talking, Li Xiaofei continued: "I don't think so, if Your Majesty appoints me as a great general, I'm afraid that you will also be afraid of me, marshal." It's a pity that my martial arts skills are not high, so you are afraid that Your Majesty will make me prime minister, haha. I think Your Majesty is also very embarrassed, so I simply want to be an official myself! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, even if they wanted to be an official in their hearts, they hadn't said it directly in front of the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, it seemed that this person was either a fool or a madman. is afraid that Pharmacist Zhu will also go crazy, and really gave the vacant prime minister to Li Xiaofei.

Zhu Yaoshi also really made a difficulty, the official given was big, the minister of civil and military affairs was not convinced, and the official given was small, and he looked stingy.

Li Xiaofei muttered in his mouth: "Da Sima, Great General, Prime Minister, Tai Lieutenant, Tai Fu, Tai Shi, Dazai, Du Dudu, Shangshu, what should you choose?" As he spoke, he looked at the crowd, and they all lowered their heads and avoided them.

Li Xiaofei swept around and looked at Pharmacist Zhu: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it, I will be the Taichang Temple, please ask Your Majesty for permission!" ”

Everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed, because it had only been a few months since Pharmacist Zhu ascended the throne, and even the ancestral temple and the ancestral temple had not been completed, so naturally no one was in charge of the Taichang Temple.

Pharmacist Zhu was very curious, but he was also relieved, this Taichang Siqing is also a high-ranking official, but he has no real power, so he just gave it to Li Xiaofei. After all, let Li Xiaofei lead the troops to take away tens of thousands of people to rebel in the future, and other civil officials will go to form a party, this Taichang Siqing is in charge of the sacrifice, and he will not fool Zhu Yaoshi's ancestors into rebellion.

"Li Xiaofei, this Taichang Siqing can seal you, but you have to say a convincing reason!"

Li Xiaofei immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, since I was a teenager, my parents were killed, and I can't find any traces if I want to worship my ancestors." Now, if you can take charge of Taichang Temple Qing and handle the affairs of sacrificing to the ancestors and gods for Your Majesty, it will also make the minister fulfill his wish and fulfill his filial piety! Your Majesty's ancestors and parents, that is, the ancestors and parents of our people in the world. It is a blessing for your subordinates to be able to assist the Son of Heaven in sacrificing to the emperor and the ancestors! ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofei burst into tears and cried, and Pharmacist Zhu also had a sour nose, remembering his parents who died early: "Okay, I can't see that you still have this filial piety, you can raise any objections, I am not a faint gentleman who listens to and believes partially!" ”

He Wuji was the first to say: "Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence, filial piety and loyalty, and now Master Li is not greedy for power and money, but only for loyalty and filial piety. ”

This remark blocked everyone's mouths, and He Wuji rarely raised his eyebrows once, and also took the opportunity to show favor to Pharmacist Zhu Li Xiaofei, and there would be another way to retreat in the future.

"The ministers have no objection! Lord Li's loyalty and filial piety should be a model for us! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for recruiting talents today, and subduing the thieves, and the ministers are happy for Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Liang Dynasty and the loyalty and filial piety! ”

Pharmacist Zhu raised his hand: "Don't be overjoyed, Luoyang and Chang'an in the north have not been recovered, has Wu Shangshu paid off for his conscription?" ”

Song Huafu took out a recital: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Wu Shangshu has lived up to Your Majesty's trust and has now sent 230,000 troops to Xinli!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu was overjoyed: "What method did this Wu Shangshu use to gather 230,000 horses in half a month?" ”

Song Huafu knelt down: "Your Majesty, Wu Shangshu made meticulous arrangements, sent 4,000 people to various counties and counties to collect taxes, detained their wives and children, and each person was limited to eight days to gather 50 people to come back to restore their lives, and as a result, 230,000 people were gathered on the seventh day!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu frowned: "It's still a little unkind to do this, if there are people who don't complete the task, won't their wives and children suffer?" ”

Song Huafu sighed: "The army should be governed strictly, if there is no punishment, who will obey the order?" ”
