In the evening, Li Zhongyi invited Fengqiu County Ling Gao Song to dinner in the West Flower Hall of the temporary Xingyuan.

There are not many dishes on the table, only four small cold dishes, four hot dishes, plus a pot of bacon and mushroom soup, and the wine is a rare "champion red" brewed by Li Mansion outside.

The cook was brought out from the Li family, a few small cold dishes, a few appetizers, and a pot of good wine, which was not extravagant and wasteful, but also showed Li Zhongyi's hospitality.

Before Gao Song entered the door, he saw Li Zhongyi standing proudly on the steps, his heart warmed violently, the person in front of him was one of the eight phases of the dynasty, and his status was extremely noble, but he went out to greet him, this heart was really touching.

According to etiquette, Gao Song hurriedly took a few steps forward, and did not dare to bend his knees at all, and paid homage to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi did not pretend to stop him, he is the prime minister of the political affairs hall, and he must take into account the dignity of the court and the political affairs hall, and the etiquette is not wasteful.

"Your county doesn't need to be so polite." After Gao Song kowtowed once, Li Zhongyi waved his hand with a smile, and the remaining two rings did not need to be knocked again.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, petty officials below the sixth rank must kneel and kowtow three times when they meet the prime minister. When His Majesty sees him, he must kneel three times and bow nine times.

Li Zhongyi's approach not only preserved the dignity of the imperial court and the political affairs hall, but also rewarded Gao Song with great face. After all, this is the first time the two have met, and the treatment given by Li Zhongyi is already very face-saving.

Gao Song stood at the round table, his eyes swept over the dishes on the table, and when he saw the four plates of stir-fried vegetables, he was very curious.

However, Gao Song quickly withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on Li Zhongyi. The one in front of him is one of the eight phases of this dynasty. Or his immediate boss.

If so, you can hug Li Zhongyi's thighs. By the time he is seventy years old, he may be able to be promoted to a third-rank minister?

Gao Song thought of this. I can't help but feel a hot heart, he is in his forties, and he is still just a sesame county magistrate, and the scholar who is an official with him has the highest status as a four-grade important minister.

Li Zhongyi waved his hand with a smile and said, "You don't have to be polite, sit down, let's talk while drinking." ”

Gao Song didn't dare to be rude, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness." Xia Guan was grateful. "Scholars, even if you want to take refuge, you have to behave.

Li Zhongyi has always looked down on the hypocrisy of the Confucian disciples who sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, but when the water is clear, there is no fish, and when people are observed, there is no great reason.

After Li Zhongyi sat down in the center, Gao Song owed his hips. Regular and horizontal accompaniment.

The maid stepped forward and poured wine, Li Zhongyi picked up the wine cup and said with a smile: "Come, drink this cup full." "A lot of false politeness has been omitted.

Gao Song held the wine cup in both hands. stood up and said very respectfully: "The lower official congratulates the minister." ”

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed slightly, obviously. In terms of demeanor, this Gao county commander has something to say.

After clinking glasses. Li Zhongyi drank all the wine in his cup and looked at Gao Song with a smile. Apparently waiting for his next step.

Gao Song gently put down the wine glass, deliberately looked at the several maids who were waiting beside him, Li Zhongyi smiled knowingly, and said, "They are all confidants I trust, you don't have to worry." ”

Seeing that several beautiful maids and maids were looking at Li Zhongyi with great gratitude, Gao Song couldn't help but secretly sigh, such a young prime minister, but he is extremely powerful, it is indeed not fortunate!

"Xianggong, your family seems to be extremely rich, but in fact, the root of the curse has long existed." Gao Song is not shocking, and he swears endlessly.

Li Zhongyi just smiled faintly, similar to this kind of sensationalism, he had seen too much when he was with the old chief.

The reason is actually very simple, Li Zhongyi's invitation to Gao Song's guest tonight is actually the same as the employees interviewed by the boss in modern society.

To put it bluntly, there can only be one similar opportunity, and Gao Song's success or failure is here.

With Li Zhongyi's honorable status, how could he be patient to listen to a small county order and useless noise for the second time?

Gao Song was bold, drank a glass of wine, and ate another bite of stewed beef brisket, and then said slowly: "Please forgive the official for saying bluntly, in less than a year, the situation in the court will be turbulent." In the position of the eight phases, the boat is sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

Li Zhongyi directly ignored Gao Song's pretentious demeanor, slowly tasted the wine in the cup, ate another mouthful of food, and silently waited for Gao Song's letter of submission.

"The situation of the Lord Shaoguo's doubts, the final decision of the fate can only be military power." Gao Song's official luck is not good, but his knowledge is not short, and he is a breakthrough.

"Xianggong's war exploits, I dare not say that the past and the present are shocking, at least they are the first in this dynasty." Gao Song suddenly sighed and put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Whether it is the young master who will be in charge in the future, or someone else, the first one who can't tolerate it must be you." ”

Li Zhongyi was secretly surprised in his heart, he was just a sesame county official, but his vision was long-term, well, he was a talent.

However, Li Zhongyi's face was calm, neither showing mountains nor dew, let alone taking the initiative to praise Gao Song.

Gao Song always hoped that Li Zhongyi would take the initiative to ask questions, but Li Zhongyi's steady posture made him feel powerless and excited.

If a person in the world listens to the wind or rain, this kind of master, even if it has a future, is very limited.

*********************

At the same time that Li Zhongyi was inspecting Gao Song, in the inner study of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei in Beijing's famous mansion, there were also two people talking about Li Zhongyi.

"Ade, tell me again, what kind of person is this Li Xianggong?" Fu Yanqing played with the jade ruler in his hand, and stared at Gao Xiaode's face with deep eyes.

In fact, this time Li Zhongyi was sent to Beijing to come to the Daimyo Mansion to mourn Fu Yanqing's deceased wife, and Fu Zhaoxin already had a letter.

Moreover, Fu Yanqing had also asked Gao Xiaode many times before, and asked him to introduce in detail the various details of following Li Zhongyi to the north of the Khitan and winning a big victory.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the various deeds of the little lady Zhu'er, Fu Yanqing listened to them with relish and was very fascinated.

Gao Xiaode swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said cautiously: "Lord Wang, please forgive the villain for being bold and outspoken." Although there are as many as 50,000 soldiers and horses in my family. But it is also difficult to defeat the 10,000 forest right guards under Li Xianggong. ”

He actually wanted to say that even if it was the Jiezhen Army of the 80,000 Daimyo's Mansion. After meeting the right guard of Yulin, it was still more defeats and fewer wins.

Generals who have led soldiers know a simple truth, a strict military discipline and a very disciplined army are as easy as a rebuff in the face of a rabble!

Fu Yanqing nodded, Gao Xiaode's tone. is roughly the same as what Fu Zhaoxin said. It's just that Fu Zhaoxin followed Li Zhongyi to the Goryeo Kingdom, while Gao Xiaode went north to the hinterland of the Khitans.

Don't look at Li Zhongyi's complete victory, in Fu Yanqing's eyes, how can Li's Goryeo Annihilation War be compared with the elite iron cavalry Shan army that almost wiped out the Khitan?

Fu Yanqing still remembers it vividly and thinks about the beginning. The 30,000 elite divisions under his command, in front of the Khitan iron horsemen, were like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, in just half an hour. It completely dissolves and is completely defeated.

Since then, Fu Yanqing has been psychologically. For the powerful Khitan Iron Cavalry, there is a big shadow.

To know. It was Fu Yanqing who was defeated, trained carefully. Use it to see the main force of the home nursing home!

Who would have thought that in the face of more than 30,000 Khitan iron cavalry, including auxiliary soldiers, Li Zhongyi's Yulin Right Guard could actually break it head-on, how strong is this?

Fu Yanqing walked around the room several times with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped and asked the same question again, "Ade, according to what you said, then Li actually attaches great importance to the sailor?" ”

Gao Xiaode knew why King Wei asked this, but this question was too vague, and he didn't know where to start for a while?

It's just that, under Fu Yanqing's forced gaze, Gao Xiaode gave the same answer again according to his own understanding, "The advantage of the sailor is that the speed of transporting troops is extremely fast, and the Khitans are not good at water warfare. However, if a strong wind blows at sea, it can easily be annihilated. ”

Fu Yanqing nodded, and said meaningfully: "South ship and North Horse, this Li has won three of them." According to Erlang's many letters, you must try your best to envelop this Li Xianggong, what do you think? ”

Gao Xiaode's heart was fierce, what kind of joke, even if King Wei trusted him again, he would be inseparable.

Fu Zhaoxin is the third son of King Wei, because the second brother died young, the prince simply changed his ranking, ranking second in the bloodline.

In the past, because Fu Zhaoxin was relatively gentlemanly and the second son, he could not inherit the family business of King Wei, so he was sent to the capital and let him attach himself to the little Fu Guifei to lay the foundation for another door after the family split in the future.

Who knows, Fu Zhaoxin, who was already an abandoned son of the family, was actually very lucky, and followed Li Zhongyi to Goryeo Kingdom, and actually made a lot of military achievements.

With this layer of origin, this Erlang of the Fu family actually entered Chai Rong's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he rose to the top, and his status and real power were higher than the sons of the Fu family.

No matter how stupid Gao Xiaode is, he also knows that there is an unusually capable Erlang in the family, and the threat to the status of the prince must be amazing.

When it comes to the inheritance of the family, how dare Gao Xiaode, the lackey of the Fu family, say half a word?

"Lord Wang, the little brain is stupid, he only knows where you point, and he will hit there." Gao Xiaode expressed his loyalty in disguise, counting on Prince Fu to let him go.

Fu Yanqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of person you are?" Don't play tricks, this king just wants to hear your personal opinion, and there will never be a second person who knows. ”

Gao Xiaode knew very well in his heart that when the words "this king" appeared in Fu Yanqing's mouth, it meant that his own prince was a little unhappy.

However, whether it is the prince or Erlang, they are all the sons-in-law of the prince, and Gao Xiaode is only instructed by a deputy in the teeth, how dare he mix such a fatal thing?

"Lord Wang, the little one has limited knowledge, and he said the wrong thing, don't be angry." Gao Xiaode hadn't thought about the harm of this matter clearly, so he pretended to hesitate to delay time and make him think more clearly.

Fu Yanqing glared at her and scolded, "Where did you get so much nonsense?" ”

"Lord, what do you think, might as well ask the queen?" Gao Xiaode secretly pinched a cold sweat and finally found a suitable excuse. (To be continued......)
