Chapter 224: An Olive Branch

Wu Guogong Li Qiong's inner study is more than 100 square meters large, in addition to desks and chairs, the surrounding bookshelves are full of all kinds of simple books.

Seeing Li Zhongyi's gaze fall on the books in the room, Li Qiong smiled: "When the old man was young, he was vulgar and unliterate, and he only knew how to play bravely and ruthlessly, and he suffered a lot of losses. When he was a little older and his official position was gradually raised, the old man specially invited Mr. to study for at least two hours a day, and he has never stopped. ”

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "The younger generation admires the wisdom of the grandfather of the country very much, and he doesn't understand the reason if he doesn't read, and this is not a deception." ”

Li Qiong stroked his beard and laughed softly: "The old man only reads history, and rarely reads useless things such as the Four Books and the Five Classics. ”

"Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, and the same is true of the rise and fall of the family." Li Zhongyi stroked his palm lightly and complimented Li Qiong with a smile.

Li Qiong pointed to the hundreds of volumes of "Old Tang Book" on the bookshelf and said: "The strength of the Tang Dynasty is rare in the world. However, its rise is also vigorous, and its decline is also, why not? ”

"The land annexation was too strict, and the elite government military system collapsed. Because the government soldiers could not afford to fight again, they had to reuse the generals to protect the border, and finally a catastrophe came. ”

There are many reasons for the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, because Li Qiong was born as a military general, so Li Zhongyi only made a simple analysis from the military system.

Li Qiong laughed and said, "Yes." Strong branches and weak stems, how can there be no reason to be invincible? However, if the stem is too strong, the branches are prone to major problems. ”

"Guogong's words are wonderful!" Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, isn't the two Song Dynasty a typical tragedy of strong cadres and weak branches, only cultivating literature and morality, not emphasizing martial arts, and finally destroying the country?

"No blame. You've got a lot of good cards in your hand. Li Qiong's face showed a mysterious smile.

Li Zhongyi knew that the old slippery head wanted to test his knowledge, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "The identity of the junior is very embarrassing. His Majesty did not give up, and he was really ashamed to occupy a high position. ”

Li Qiong suddenly laughed, and at the end, he said lightly: "With more than 10,000 people, the miraculous feat of pacifying the eastern kingdom has been achieved, after His Majesty heard the news." once said with a smile: Xiaoxiao has been bold since then. ”

Li Zhongyi tasted that there was something wrong with this, hurriedly brushed himself off, sighed and said, "It's just good luck." It's not worth mentioning at all. ”

Li Qiong smiled and said: "There is no need to be so humble, when I was still a rice seller, the old man had already seen that he would become a great weapon in the future." ”

The connotation of these words. Extremely rich. Li Zhongyi thought to himself, judging from Li Qiong's experience, it is likely that the two of them had already hooked up when Chai Rong was in the rice selling business.

It can be seen that Li Qiong is worthy of being an evergreen tree in officialdom, and her vision of looking at people is indeed quite unique.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi didn't answer, Li Qiong smiled faintly: "The old man is already old." Days are numbered. The entire Guogong Mansion seems to be prominent, but in fact, the defeat has been revealed. Alas. The family is unfortunate, and those few evil obstacles are making a lot of trouble, which does not make the old man worry at all. ”

Li Zhongyi was very strange in his heart, he and Li Qiong were just meeting for the first time, how could they talk so deeply?

Li Qiong's five sons are indeed not worrying, in order to inherit the title of Duke of Wu, they are fighting in private, stirring up a miasma.

There are many rumors outside, some people say that Li Qiong is partial to her third son Li Hu; Some people also say that Li Qiong pretended to love Li Hu, but in fact, she pretended to be the eldest man of the Li family in her heart. In short, there is everything to say.

With Li Zhongyi's knowledge, he naturally knew that these rumors outside must be closely related to the struggle in the Wu Guogong Mansion.

It's actually easier to choose a position when fighting with outsiders, and when it's time to do it, you can do it without too many concerns.

The matter of this house is very troublesome to deal with, five of them are biological sons, but there is only one title.

The title of Duke of Wu, no matter which of the five sons is given, the remaining four must have complaints.

In the final analysis, it was Chai Rong's fault, who asked him to allow Wu Guogong to be hereditary for five generations?

Correspondingly, Li Zhongyi's marquis, who can be attacked for three generations, is actually facing this problem. It's just that Li Zhongyi is still very young, and his eldest son, Gouwa, is not yet a year old, and the urgency is not as strict as Li Qiong.

Seventy years of life are rare!

In this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, and a severe cold may cause you to lose your life, Li Qiong can live to her seventieth birthday, which is already one in ten thousand.

Historically, Chai Rong did not live to be forty years old. He suddenly let go, directly leading the young lord to take charge of the country, and the martial artists were ready to move, and finally let Zhao Laoer, who is very good at making friends, easily pick the golden peach.

"No blame, it's good to be young." Li Qiong sighed a little lonely, and her old age was overflowing.

Li Zhongyi had already heard Li Qiong's voice-over, and the old man was so affectionate to him, in fact, he deliberately took advantage of the occasion of his 70th birthday to make a clear hint that Li Hu was the heir of Wu Guogong.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only Li Hu dared to put a few prime ministers aside, but he whispered with Li Zhongyi in the study.

Li Zhongyi did not have the slightest sense of fear for several prime ministers, nor did he want to take the initiative to make friends.

In troubled times, Wenchen, who has no soldiers in his hands, hehe, seems to be majestic, but in fact, it is just an empty shelf.

When Zhao Lao Er raised troops to enter Beijing, even if Xiang Fan was reluctant, for the safety of his family, he had to bow down to his ministers.

There is power in the barrel of a gun, and this is not true at all!

"Your Majesty, I'm he......sitating," Li Qiong said this, and the words suddenly changed, "If Wuqi is willing to continue to teach my unfilial grandchild, then ......"

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, he also understood, and the political transaction kicked off and officially started!

According to Li Qiong's hints, Chai Rong has never made up his mind about Li Zhongyi's arrangement. If Li Qiong helps Li Zhongyi speak, it is likely to play a vital role.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and Li Qiong's condition is that if Li Zhongyi leads troops out of the prefecture and county, he will take Li Anguo, the ya, with him.

Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, Li Qiong is really an old fox, and the transaction he proposed benefited Li Zhongyi a lot. The requirements are unusually low.

Obviously, Li Qiongtu is planning for the long term, not for the time being!

No wonder. Li Qiong has been highly trusted by Guo Wei and Chai Rong father and son, that is, she has a unique vision and burns the cold stove well!

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, and there is almost no one in the snow!

If Li Zhongyi gets such a big benefit from Li Qiong, in the future, he will naturally look at everyone in the Wu Guogong Mansion differently.

For Li Qiong's honesty. Li Zhongyi was indeed a little moved, even if it was a political transaction, at least it meant that Li Qiong was very optimistic about him.

Politics and alliances. What is needed is an attitude, not a verbal or paper agreement. As long as we attach importance to each other and support each other, we have a high degree of tacit understanding. There is no agreement. Heavy or?

"No blame, although Zhengqing is stubborn, he never convinces people lightly." As soon as Li Qiong mentioned Li Anguo, her face was full of smiles, "I think at the beginning, I was even more unbearable than Zhengqing, hehe, and I also robbed other people's newlywed little ladies." ”

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but be stunned. Li Qiong really dared to say anything, and actually exposed her ugliness. But. It can also be seen from this that when this Li Guogong was young, he was indeed not a good product.

History is written by the victors, no matter where the heroes come from, who is shrewd and old enough to have insight into the world when they are young?

"The prince of the country has a life, and the younger generation dares to disobey?" Li Zhongyi smiled and accepted the olive branch handed over by Li Qiong, the two looked at each other and smiled, each took the desired deal, and officially reached it.

Originally, because Li Anguo was an old subordinate, he had already decided to support Li Hu, but now it is just a matter of reconfirmation.

In the final analysis, Li Zhongyi believes that Li Qiong was originally very optimistic about Li Hu's succession, so he chose him, Li Anguo's old superior.

After talking about business, Li Qiong suddenly asked Li Zhongyi: "What do you think of Zhao Kuangyin?" Don't worry about it, the old man just asks casually. ”

Li Qiong's question was extremely vague, and Li Zhongyi was very difficult to answer.

However, since Li Qiong asked here, Li Zhongyi should not be too vague, and must give a clearer answer.

"Zhao Jiaerlang has many friends." Li Zhongyi smiled and gave a vague and clear answer, which made Li Qiong laugh, "Wu Blame is really a wonderful person, this statement is true." ”

The master made a move, and he could understand it at one point, and Li Zhongyi immediately realized that Li Qiong had some opinions about Zhao Erlang.

However, these are none of the things that Li Zhongyi has to do, and he doesn't have much feeling.

After a few small talks, the servant came to report it, and the angel arrived.

So, Li Qiong led Li Zhongyi, got into the carriage together, and returned to the main house of the Li family.

Wu Guogong Mansion, after more than ten expansions, has covered an area of dozens of acres. The masters of the Li family, who came to visit Li Qiong from their respective houses, had to take a carriage.

Otherwise, the person who lives the farthest will have to walk for at least half an hour, which will be too delayed.

When he was about to arrive at the main hall, Li Zhongyi insisted on getting out of the carriage in advance, and he didn't plan to appear in front of everyone side by side with Li Qiong.

Under the guidance of the servants of the Li family, Li Zhongyi quietly walked into the pile of military generals, there was no way, most of the civil officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked down on him, the so-called "2 ministers".

In fact, the Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military ministers, with the exception of a very small number of new jinshi who had participated in the Xiande system.

The biggest 2 ministers are Feng Dao, who has been an official in the Six Dynasties, this old fox, an officialdom tumbler.

Li Zhongyi came to this world too late, and by the time he arrived at the Great Zhou as an official, Feng Dao was already dead.

"No blame, come here." Zhao Kuangyin, who was sharp-eyed, saw Li Zhongyi who slowly walked into the hall almost immediately.

"Brother Yuen Long, didn't you go to Songzhou, when did you come back?" Li Zhongyi walked to Zhao Kuangyin's side and asked him with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin grinned and said, "I am Wu Guogong's old subordinate, how can I not come to congratulate me on such a big matter?" ”

According to Li Zhongyi's knowledge, Zhao Kuangyin is not Li Qiong's serious subordinate. At that time, Zhao Lao Er was just a messenger in an army, but Li Qiong was the commander of the army, and his status was very different.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, Zhao Lao Er is worthy of Zhao Lao Er, and the means of pulling the relationship are indeed very clever.

Just when Li Zhongyi was on an expedition to Goryeo, Zhao Lao Er was also promoted to the envoy of the Song Prefecture Festival and the history of the Song Prefecture Assassin.

According to the rules of the imperial court, if a military general who leads troops does not receive an edict, if he leaves the place without permission, it is a capital crime that is enough to kill his head. (To be continued!)
