"Jiang Ming, I have heard everything Zhengqing said, and the old man respects you with a glass to express my sincere gratitude." Li Qiong raised her wine glass high and drank it all.

Zuo Ziguang hurriedly got up, holding the wine cup in both hands, raising his eyebrows, and only after Li Qiong did it do it did he drink it.

Li Anguo, who was waiting on the side, poured wine for his grandfather and Zuo Ziguang respectively, and accompanied him with a smile.

The palace of Huayang County, although he was born as a military general, but with the passage of time, he was more or less contaminated with the problems of the scholar class, and the rules became more and more and bigger.

Zuo Ziguang glanced at the frightened Li Anguo with a smile, and asked him with a smile: "Zhengqing, how is the food of the Gyeonggi Inspection Division?" ”

Li Anguo didn't answer immediately, but looked at Li Qiong, Li Qiong nodded slightly, and then he replied with a bitter face: "The wine and meat are enough, neither beating nor scolding, but there are always people beside him, and they have been making endless noise." ”

Zuo Ziguang nodded and said with a smile: "This is the first salute and then the soldiers, if the prince of the county does not make a decision, I am afraid that he will suffer a lot next." ”

Li Qiong nodded and sighed: "People are under the eaves, don't bow your head, although I am also on an errand in the political hall, but I am just accompanying food, no matter how big or small, Fan Zhen is in control." ”

Before Zuo Zi came, he pondered what Li Qiong asked him to come over to the house by name, what was it for?

In terms of status, Zuo Ziguang is just a disciple of Li Zhongyi, although the strength at hand should not be underestimated, after all, he is inferior to a generation.

It stands to reason that Li Qiong should have invited Huang Jingsheng or Wang Dahu to come over to discuss major matters, Zuo Ziguang is also a human being, not a god, and he couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Li Qiong's gourd for a while.

Li Qiong is an old Jianghu after all, he can see that although Zuo Ziguang has a calm face, he is afraid that he has been thinking in his heart, why should he invite this junior to come?

It's still early, and Li Qiong is not in a hurry to uncover the mystery, just a strong persuasion of wine and food. Until, after five rounds of wine and eight flavors of food, Li Qiong said politely: "The old man wants to thank Jiang Ming for his love for Qi Niang, you sit, I will do it first." ”

Zuo Ziguang's head, how clever he was, as soon as he heard this, he knew that the main purpose of today's banquet was to do so.

Unlike Yang Lie, who can only lead troops to fight, Zuo Ziguang quickly adapted to the role of a political animal under the influence of Li Zhongyi.

Ordinary politicians are not interested in wealth or power, but Zuo Ziguang's ideal is to achieve an earth-shattering career.

In particular, when Li Zhongyi drew a sketch of the world and gave him a science popularization of the countless fields that needed to be explored outside of China, Zuo Ziguang gradually had an idea to colonize overseas.

Over the years, as long as Zuo Ziguang has a little free time, he will never leave the scroll, and over time, he has gradually understood many of Li Zhongyi's formulations: the law of the dynastic cycle, the law of the jungle, and if you want to live a good life, you must oppress foreign races.

Li Zhongyi made two expeditions to Goryeo, and the huge dividends he reaped, with vivid examples, fully verified the great benefits of colonizing Goryeo.

Zuo Ziguang knew very well in his heart that although Chai Yuniang had not yet passed the door, with her great contribution to the Li family, she was definitely the best candidate for a genuine master.

However, Chai Yuniang's shortcomings are also very obvious. If Li Zhongyi has always been a loyal minister, it will naturally be a close relationship, and the piano and the piano will sound together.

If one day, Empress Dowager Fu wants to poison Li Zhongyi, things will obviously change dramatically.

People are changeable, Zuo Ziguang doesn't care much about power and money, but he is very unhappy to see that there is infighting in the old Li family.

Therefore, Zuo Ziguang helped Li Anguo and sent Fu Yinyin and Li Qiniang, especially Li Qiniang, on the passenger ship to Goryeo. Its fundamental idea is that after Li Zhongyi ascends to the supreme throne in the future, if Chai Yuniang in the main room has a falling out, at least Li Qiniang, who is also noble, can go up.

Heroes love beauties, why don't beauties love heroes?

No matter how many women Li Zhongyi is serving, Zuo Ziguang doesn't care at all, men, especially with Li Zhongyi's identity and status, taking a few more beautiful concubines is not a trivial matter worth mentioning at all.

However, the lady of the main room, or the queen, is different, the background cannot be too low, which will affect Li Zhongyi's reputation.

Of course, Zuo Ziguang has a deeper purpose to help Li Anguo and Li Qiniang. Tianwuwei is actually equivalent to Li Qiong's private army, and almost all of the officers, large and small, are Li Qiong or Li Hu's people.

Objectively speaking, even if the imperial court changes the new commander of the Tianwu Guard, it will be difficult to wipe out Li Hu's people within two or three years.

In Zuo Ziguang's view, according to the current situation, after two or three years, the general trend should have been decided, so Li Qiong's family has some use value.

According to Li Zhongyi, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the broken boat still has seven catties of nails, which is very reasonable. Li Qiong is not only a down-and-out veteran, but also one of the eight phases of Tuogu, in addition to Li Qiniang, plus the potential strength of Tianwuwei, Zuo Ziguang already has a very good reason to use the topic to play.

At the beginning, after Li Anguo came to him for help, Zuo Ziguang understood the ins and outs of the situation, decisively made a decision, arranged a passenger ship overnight, and sent Li Qiniang and Fu Yinyin down the river.

In Zuo Ziguang's opinion, Li Qiniang is the main master, Fu Yinyin is just a noble girl who has been spoiled and doesn't know the height of the sky, since she can't look down on other men, she simply sent it to Li Zhongyi's side.

In the future, if Fu Yinyin becomes one of Zuo Ziguang's little masters, she must admit his favor today, and she will more or less look at him differently, at least not to hate him, which is enough.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, Li Zhongyi didn't touch Fu Yinyin in the end, and his left general Ming Ke was missing half a hair?

Li Qiong's purpose of inviting Zuo Ziguang to the banquet, Zuo Ziguang is naturally clear, he is the only disciple of Li Zhongyi, whether it is status or real power, it is amazing, Li Junwang wants to contact the feelings, which is also human nature.

Li Zhongyi once taught Zuo Ziguang that politics is an art of compromise.

Before Li Zhongyi grasped the power, Zuo Ziguang also needed to let Li Qiong see that Li Zhongyi attached great importance to the palace of Huayang County.

"Old Xianggong, you are really too polite, the relationship between the family teacher and the old Xianggong is not ordinary." Zuo Ziguang knew what Li Qiong liked to listen to most at this time, so he simply came out of his head, so as not to let Li Qiong think nonsense.

Li Qiong also knew that Zuo Ziguang was a very smart person, and he took over the affairs of the Seventh Lady unequivocally, and personally arranged to send it to Li Zhongyi's side, which can be seen from this.
