Chapter 213: Alert
"His Royal Highness King Mengliang is so loving, I am really grateful and can't repay it." Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that no matter whether this was a play performed by Chai Rong's family as a team, he must not hesitate to express his political attitude.
Hearing Li Zhongyi's unusually respectful attitude towards Chai Zongxun, Chai Rong couldn't help but smile slightly, this Li Wuyi is really smart, just a little bit!
"I'm not confused about my age, and I've always felt a little lacking in energy these days." Chai Rong threw down this sentence and stared at Li Zhongyi silently.
Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Chai Rong was hinting to him that the time was ripe to become the crown prince.
However, Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that it was the same thing, but he had to persuade him with a clear attitude, "Your Majesty, don't be too tired, be sure to take good care of the dragon body." My Great Zhou country is flourishing, and it is not too late to consider other affairs when the Northern Expedition is complete. In the humble view of Wei Chen, the housework of the Son of Heaven can only be decided by the Son of Heaven, and no one is allowed to say much. β
What kind of joke is it that Li Zhongyi took the initiative to build yì and establish Chai Zongxun as the crown prince? Unless Li Zhongyi's head is caught by the door, he will make such a "high-level" mistake at such a juncture.
In Li Zhongyi's view, Chai Rong is both a loving father and a king. From the perspective of a loving father, Chai Rong loves Chai Zongxun, which is the nature of father and son, and it is understandable.
However, from the king's point of view, the emperor and the crown prince are naturally a pair of contradictory unity.
Since ancient times, few people who have sat on the throne of the crown prince have had a good end. Some people have even been the crown prince for 30 years, and in the end, they still can't avoid the tragedy of being deposed. For example, Kangxi's second elder brother Yinren.
Once the crown prince is powerful. The emperor must be sleepless at night.
However, if the prince's personality is too weak and not the appearance of a human king, the emperor has to worry about whether the country will change hands? For example. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and crown prince Zhu Gaochi.
Li Zhongyi's current identity is very sensitive, he originally belonged to the civilian system, but he has great influence on the Broken Army.
cough, Li Zhongyi held the barrel of a gun in his hand, and dared to deal with the government, especially the matter of establishing a prince. Pointing fingers, hehe, does he want to follow in Yue Fei's footsteps?
Therefore, in the face of Chai Rong's temptation, Li Zhongyi decisively chose the most appropriate statement.
The subtext is: Lichu is a family affair of His Majesty. It is only up to His Majesty to determine himself, he does not know!
"No blame, you're too cautious, I ask you privately, even though it's okay to be blunt." The smile on Chai Rong's face gradually faded.
"Your Majesty's family affairs are not what people dare to say." Li Zhongyi insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and he would not dare to let go even if he was killed.
Chai Rong nodded slightly. asked Li Zhongyi again: "Xiaoyao Hou, no blame can you be satisfied?" β
Li Zhongyi hurriedly made a big salute and said gratefully: "The minister is on an expedition to Goryeo. Relying on His Majesty's vision of thousands of miles, if the command is determined, can it be effective. The minister is just in accordance with the strategy set by His Majesty, and the implementation is more thorough, and he dares to take the credit? β
"Haha, Li Wuyi. Li Wuyi, you are too modest. Chai Rong suddenly burst out laughing. While teasing Li Jiyi in his arms with his fingers to lick it, he glanced at Chai Zongxun, who was grabbing Li Jiyi and refused to let go. "You are capable, I know what you are capable of!"
Li Zhongyi didn't dare to answer this sentence, but when he saw Chai Rong handing Li Jiyi into the hands of the grandmother in the palace, his heart immediately became much more stable.
Chai Rong must not have held a child before, and most of Li Jiyi's little head was exposed outside Chai Rong's arms.
Li Zhongyi saw Chai Rong walking towards the lakeside, and he knew that Chai Rong must have something to say in private, so he followed lightly.
"I've seen the black water horse you sent back, and it's really as you said, it only needs to be rough-fed, and it's very easy to raise." Chai Rong looked up at the clear blue sky and lightly mentioned the matter of the war horse.
Li Zhongyi immediately explained: "Back to His Majesty, Weichen heard from the Jurchen groom that this black water horse is not only easy to raise, but also full of endurance, regardless of cold or summer, it can gallop on the prairie. β
Chai Rong nodded and said: "If you want to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, you have to directly face the hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen of the Khitans. β
Li Zhongyi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, when the minister was in Goryeo, he had been secretly inquiring about the news of the Khitan. The minister heard that the lord of the Khitan, Yelu, recounted the law, which was absurd and unreasonable, and was very unpopular. At this time, it was a good time for my Great Zhou to send troops to the west to take the difficult army and take back the fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River. β
Li Zhongyi knew that this was Chai Rong's intentional temptation, and he didn't dare to interject, lest he be unlucky.
Anyway, Li Zhongyi already knew the result, Chai Zongxun would become the prince sooner or later, was it necessary for him to get involved?
However, when it comes to militaristic strategic issues, Li Zhongyi has nothing to taboo, so he simply opens the skylight to speak brightly and speak freely.
"Well, the Dingyan army has horses, and they are good Hetao horses." Chai Rong had obviously done his homework in advance, and he had a relatively good understanding of the territory of the party members of the Dingyan Army, "Today, the subordinates of Tuoba Yiyin, the king of Xiping, have 10,000 accounts, about 40,000 to 60,000 people. β
Taking the small piece of paper in Chai Rong's hand, Li Zhongyi read it carefully, and then learned about the military system of the party members.
The minimum military establishment of the party members is "copying", with one regular soldier and one negative soldier (auxiliary). Two or three copies were made into a single account, and there were four or six men, led by Akni.
The party members are a clan structure in which all the people are soldiers, and the main forces are concentrated in the hands of the eight major tribes, and the soldiers and horses of the same tribe are slipping.
When the foreign war was waged, the tribal leaders sent their generals to lead the troops to participate in the expedition, and most of the soldiers and horses to which they belonged had dozens of tents, called the cardinal.
"Your Majesty is planning to recruit the difficult army?" Li Zhongyi wanted to beat the party members very early, but only because the conditions did not allow it, he did not try his best to play.
Chai Rong smiled slightly, and asked Li Zhongyi: "What do you say?" β
Li Zhongyi also understood in his heart that Chai Rong had really corrected his previous strategic mistakes and turned his attention to the Dingyan Army.
According to Li Zhongyi's original idea, he first took the Hetao area occupied by the party members, and after owning the Hetao horses, he set aside three years to train the horse army.
At the same time, mobilize heavy troops to take the big granary of Houshu, and then feint to attack the Northern Han. Lure out the Khitans in the southwest, gather and annihilate them.
In the end, the foothold must be placed on the sixteen states of Yanyun. As for the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jingnan, Wuyue and other southern countries, they were all mediocre lords and had no ambitions. There is no need to worry at all.
Of course, this is just Li Zhongyi's idea. The location of Chai Rong Station is different, and he does not know the true trend of history, so his consideration of the problem must be very different.
"No blame, are you a hero, or a hero? I can't figure it out! Chai Rong looked at Li Zhongyi lukewarmly.
Here comes again to this set of imperial mental techniques. Li Zhongyi understood Chai Rong's entanglement in his heart, but the slightest hint on his face was revealed, and he said calmly: "Weichen has always prided himself on being a pure minister, please check it out." β
Chai Rong suddenly smiled and said, "That person sued sΓΉ me." On the day I am here, you will be a loyal servant. But if I am...... You will be a hero. β
Damn, who the hell framed Lao Tzu like this? The cold sweat on Li Zhongyi's vest immediately dripped down his back, which is not easy to explain.
"His Majesty gives the minister a leisurely marquis, the minister's temperament has always been lazy, and he also likes to live a happy life." Li Zhongyi deliberately offered the title to talk about things. just wanted to remind Chai Rong that he Li had no ambitions.
Chai Rong is powerful, Li Zhongyi knows it. He didn't dare to put forward the idea of being tired of work in person, so he could only turn around the corner and confide in his "heart".
"Brother Qing is a benevolent character when he is young, and he will definitely not treat your father and son and family badly in the future." Chai Rong turned his back to the sky and muttered to himself, "Father didn't cook the dogs." It's a benevolent gentleman. Even if the cunning rabbit dies, I will not cook the dogs. β
Li Zhongyi always thinks. Chai Rong's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods, and he deliberately said them to him.
And. It was precisely because of the second meeting in the Imperial Garden that Li Zhongyi profoundly realized that there were certainly differences of opinion on the side of the political hall regarding his new position, and more importantly, Chai Rong had not yet made up his mind.
Chai Rong hinted twice in private that someone was secretly framing him Li Zhongyi. Even if it was impossible, Li Zhongyi asked from Chai Rong's mouth who was secretly doing maggots, and secretly warned himself that he must find a way to find out that person.
"Li Wuyi, I hope I didn't mistake you." Chai Rong suddenly waved the jade yue in his hand and slammed it on a willow tree, "If you go home and rest for half a moon, I will have a fate." β
Regarding Chai Rong's concerns, Li Zhongyi was not worried. Chai Rong is a generation of male lords, not the faint monarch of Houshu Mengchang.
At least before taking back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Li Zhongyi, who can fight and make money, is already in an indispensable position.
After leaving the palace, Li Zhongyi sat in the carriage that came to pick him up from home, and his face immediately became gloomy.
Chai Rong obviously still believed him, otherwise, he would not reveal the top-secret inside story that Chai Zongxun would be made the crown prince in front of him.
The problem is that the villain who often speaks ill of him can make Chai Rong hesitate when he reuses Li Zhongyi.
Who is that man? Li Zhongyi fell into the long exam!
Until he returned to the door of his home and Li Zhongyi stepped out of the carriage, he still had no idea who the villain was.
"Welcome back to the house." The old servant of the family saw that Li Zhongyi was back, and while ordering someone to go to the inner courtyard to report, he happily bowed down.
Li Zhongyi cleaned up his thoughts, put on a smiling face, and walked into the door happily.
"The slave family visits the Hou Ye." When Peony saw the bottle standing behind Li Zhongyi with the little baby, she was so jealous that she pursed her mouth high.
After more than half a year, Li Zhongyi once again saw Peony's brainless behavior, and his mood quickly improved.
Whatever, even if Chai Rong doesn't reuse him now, it's actually quite good to be an idle Hou Ye!
"Welcome back to the house." The maidservants in the family squatted down one after another to salute, and their faces were full of joy.
The master has become the marquis, and those of them who are slaves and maids, when they go out of the door, they also feel that their faces are very bright. "Do you miss you?"
Li Zhongyi walked up to Peony, squatted down, showed an evil smile, and stared at her.
"I think about it, I think about it every day, I think about it in my dreams." As soon as Peony thought of the four extra sisters in the backyard, she had all kinds of flavors in her heart, there was only one bottle before, she couldn't resist it, and there were a bunch of people here, what should I do in the future?
