At dusk, Li Qing was still on his way back to his fiefdom.

And at this time, he heard that Li Yu participated in the canonization ceremony.

After hearing the news, Li Qing suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood in the carriage.

"How is it possible, how is it possible?"

He and Li Shang both sent a master decision, and all the plans were very strict, assassinating Li Yu was absolutely foolproof this time.

But Li Yu participated in the canonization ceremony, and obviously the assassination failed.

"Damn, damn it......"

Li Qing's carriage had stopped, the sunset outside was beautiful, and his place was a maple forest.

The maple leaves were already red, and when a gust of wind blew, they slowly fell in the air.

Li Qing looked at the maple forest in the distance, his eyes solemn, "Li Yu, don't be complacent too early, the battle between us is not over yet." ”

In Tang Qing's opinion, the battle between them is indeed not over, even if Li Yu becomes the emperor in the future, it will not end, after returning to his fiefdom, he has to train his troops, and one day, he will use force to regain everything that belongs to him.

At the same time, the Wing King Li Shang also had this idea.

The night passed like this, and the next morning, after breakfast, Li Yu and Su Rong took some gifts, took their chests and Chi Baolin, and went to Li Jing's mansion.

Li Jing, as a general who was famous in the Tang Dynasty before, admired him very much, and when he heard that he wanted to see Li Jing, he was more active than anyone else.

After walking a few times, the group finally came to Li Jing's mansion, which was a secluded street, and Li Jing's mansion was also secluded, and there was no excitement at all, and it was completely impossible to see that this was a mansion for a birthday.

Xiong Kuohai knocked on the door, and soon a doorman opened the door and poked his head out, he looked at it, and was immediately frightened, and hurriedly ran out to salute, "I don't know that the prince and the princess have arrived, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Li Yu waved his hand: "Let's celebrate General Li's birthday." ”

When the doorman heard this, he couldn't believe it, and rushed in excitedly, "Master, master......"

Li Yu smiled bitterly, and could only go in with Su Rong and them by themselves.

Not long after they walked in, Li Jing rushed out of it, followed by his son and other family members.

"Li Jing, the guilty minister, salute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and salute the Crown Princess."

Su Rong hurriedly helped Li Jing up, "Master can't help it, get up quickly." ”

Li Yu glanced at Li Jing, Li Jing looked like he was in his forties, he looked in good spirits, his eyes were also very energetic, and he felt very strong, although he was deprived of all his duties, he did not let go of his martial arts, which was very good for him.

"Back then, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, the life of the criminal minister would not be guaranteed, and all the time, the old minister wanted to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving his life, and today, he got his wish."

Li Jing was very excited when he said it, but everyone was puzzled when they heard it, and Su Rong even looked up at Li Yu, "It's the master you saved, why haven't I heard the master talk about it?" ”

Li Yu didn't know about it, but now that Li Jing said so, it must have been implanted in a memory by the system.

However, in order not to be a gangster, Li Yu did not explain too much, but said, "General Li doesn't have to be like this, don't mention the past, we should look to the future." ”

Li Jing nodded, "That's right, that's right, I heard that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing, he did a lot, and the criminal minister was relieved." ”

Li Yu smiled lightly, "This is a gift for General Li, I heard that General Li's birthday, I and the crown princess came." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart, the minister is really grateful, let's go back to the house and talk."

The group walked to the living room, and there were no other guests in the entire mansion, obviously after being demoted, Li Jing had already lived a life of being snubbed in front of the door.

After sitting down in the living room, everyone else retreated, and Li Jing and Li Yu chatted.

"General Li is a famous general of my Tang Kingdom, and now there are strong enemies around Tang Kingdom, and the situation of Tang Kingdom is not good, it is Prince Yiben who wants to find an opportunity to let General Li come back and make new contributions to my Tang Kingdom, I don't know what General Li wants?"

Hearing this, Li Jing's expression suddenly became a little excited, but he tried his best to suppress it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good intentions, but the minister is a criminal minister, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead the troops again."

Li Jing is naturally clear about why he was demoted back then, when he was demoted, he felt uncomfortable, but after so many years, he has more or less figured out that he is on the cusp, if he is not degraded, then he can only die.

Fortunately, he picked up a life and came back, if he went to lead the troops again, and the current saint saw that he was not used to it, then it is difficult to say whether he had such good luck.

Li Yu didn't expect Li Jing to refuse politely, he smiled, "Don't worry, with the prince here, there is no problem in keeping anything, General Li has the ability to serve the Tang Kingdom, and General Li must reproduce the glory of the past, so as to live up to this life." ”

"This ......"

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you really insist on this, then the life of the criminal minister is yours of His Royal Highness the Prince, but if you want the minister to lead the troops, you can listen to the minister's words." ”

Li Yu said: "General Li, please speak." ”

"At this time, although the Tang State is strong, it is also at the critical point of collapse, these old ministers study my Tang system, and feel that there are many inappropriate, such as military generals, many times it depends on their background, if their background is not good, they can only be a small soldier for the rest of their lives, and the probability of becoming a general is very low, and some powerful families, as long as they have soldiers, it is easy to be a general, which will make soldiers have no bloody battlefield."

The magnates and families of the Tang State have always been a big problem, they control most of the resources, and they must consider their own families, such as his Shuozhou, which used to be the people of the Lu family who were in charge of the military power, if he hadn't seized the military power, Wei Chigong would have been wanted to be a general all his life, unless he could make great contributions on the battlefield.

And Li Jing said this, Li Yu also deeply agreed, if there is no hope for the promotion of soldiers, naturally they don't want to fight much, after all, there is no hope.

Give hope, everything will have a chance, and they will not be afraid of death.

"What does General Lee mean?"

"Open the channel for the promotion of soldiers, as long as they can make military achievements, they can be promoted, in this way, soldiers are willing to die."

Everyone can get everything they want through military exploits, which will fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the Tang State.

It's just that after Li Yu heard this, he frowned slightly and hesitated a little.

If this is really done, then the interests of the powerful and the family will be moved, then there must be resistance to the implementation, he is not the Son of Heaven, which is very unfavorable to him.

Particularly disadvantageous.
