Chapter 140: Thoughts
Pei Zilie strode in, they were already very familiar with each other, and the etiquette between them was naturally reduced, but it was regarded as a salute as soon as they gave their hands relatively up.
Xiao Shilian asked his subordinates to make tea and burn incense, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are full of spring breeze, Sikong should be very good at talking." β
Pei Zilie snorted: "Sikong didn't say it to death, but he also emphasized that once needed, he would definitely not stand by and watch, and it would be okay to stand up and say a few words." β
"A few words are not just a few words." Xiao Shilian chuckled. With Wu Mingche's identity and status, even if he speaks, even if it does not represent Wu Mingche's support, it is enough to show his partiality attitude, so these few words are completely sufficient.
"Boqing, let's be content and happy." Pei Zilie said with a smile, "What did Pei Shangshu say over there?" I see you're smiling happily, I'm afraid it's okay? β
"Pei Shangshu was originally interested in the prince, so he agreed very simply," Xiao Shilian took a sip of tea, but immediately frowned, "It's his son Pei Yun, who doesn't seem to agree, he was also there when he went to visit, although he didn't say anything, but he always felt that the guy's eyes were not good." β
Pei Zilie frowned: "Pei YunΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· At the last poetry meeting, I felt that this person was scheming, and he was able to go to the third level in the end, relying more on Xu Deyan, and in the end, he handed in the answer when the rest of the people just saw the question, so that many people could only write in a hurry in the end, and they were completely confused. Compared with Pei Shangshu, this Pei Yun seems to be even more difficult to deal with. β
"Fortunately, Pei Shangshu is a person, and you and I know that we should not do anything that goes back on our word." Xiao Shilian's face was also a little solemn, unlike Xu Deyan, who was obviously not interested in this kind of political situation, this Pei Yun was really uncertain.
Pei Zilie bowed slightly, at least Pei Ji's character can still be trusted, and Pei Ji was originally on the side of the prince, so he shouldn't have defected, but then Pei Zilie remembered something: "By the way, what about Brother Shizhong?" Haven't come back yet? β
Shaking his head, Xiao Shilian smiled and said: "Xu Ling, this old fox, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with, I'm afraid Shizhong won't be able to figure out his attitude." You are familiar with Sikong, and Pei Shangshu is also a straightforward person, some words can be said straight to the point, but this old fox of Xu Ling, can't use this method, it is estimated that there is a world of loyalty. β
"Huh? It's hard for you to see clearly. Pei Zilie couldn't help but sneer, this guy has always been too lazy to use his brain, and it is rare that he can think carefully today, but Xiao Shilian's smile is somewhat helpless and bitter.
Xu Ling has always had an ambiguous attitude, looking like he has nothing to do with himself and hangs high, but he is the only one who can really influence His Majesty, or prevent His Majesty from changing the crown prince at a critical time.
"Let's go, let's go to Shen Gong and ask for advice." Pei Zilie made up his mind, and Huo Ran stood up, "General Zuo Wei has been busy coordinating heavy troops and preparing for the lack of items in the army these days, so I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of these, so now I can only rely on us." β
Xiao Shilian nodded solemnly.
As Pei Zilie said, Xiao Maha, who is now the number one general in the army, naturally can't just think about these things all day long, although Wu Mingche withdrew the baggage team in time in the last battle of Luliang, but in fact, there are still a lot of large equipment and excess grain, grass, blades, and armor thrown at Luliang, although the loss is not big, but it has to be replenished after all.
Especially now that the Nanchen army is recruiting new recruits and preparing for the next big war, there is more demand for these items, and although these do not need to be handled by Xiao Maha himself, he also has to command and arrange them in the back.
As for the increasingly turbulent undercurrent in the capital, he has long been left behind by this general who focuses on the army, for him, how to collect as many resources as possible and win the next big war is the key, so now Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian must work hard.
ββββββββββββββ-
"Yu Duai Lianzhi is out of the mud but not stained, and the water is clear and rippled but not demonic." Princess Lechang whispered, and Juanxiu's font appeared on the good "Four-Foot Dan".
This four-foot Dan is said to be invented by Kong Dan, a disciple of Cai Lun, a papermaker in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is made of the fiber of the green sandalwood tree, the process is complex, but the paper produced is moderately soft and hard, easy to write, and extremely precious. In the long evolution of later generations, this kind of "Dan paper" eventually became "Xuan paper" because of the best made by Xuancheng, of course, these are later words.
In this era when even many paperwork and copywriting are still based on wood chips and bamboo slips, those who can afford such paper are of course wealthy families.
Li Xinchen quietly watched Princess Lechang transcribe, a touch of sunlight sprinkled on her side face, and the girl's serious appearance made Li Xinchen a little trance. Ice muscles and jade bones, snow skin and black hair, but that's it. As if sensing Li Xinchen's gaze, Le Chang raised his head slightly: "What, Childe thinks there is something wrong with what the little woman wrote?" β
"No, watching Miss Le'er write, it is quite the posture of Ban Ji's continuation of history and Xie Ting's Yongxue, which is fascinating." Li Xinchen hurriedly said.
Childe laughed. Princess Lechang said lightly, put down the pen and looked at the ink-drenched paper, if this guy said such a sentence with a smile, it always made Lechang feel that he was slapping the horse, but Li Xinchen said seriously, with a solemn expression, which made Lechang's heart move slightly.
This personΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's really different.
Of course, Li Xinchen didn't know what the woman with the world's beauty in front of him was thinking, he just wanted to hurry up and send her away safely, and then take this "Ai Lian Said" to ask Xu Ling to take a look.
Li Xinchen is not a eunuch, nor does he have the habit of breaking sleeves and the good of Longyang like Emperor Chen Wendi, a big beauty is standing in front of him, if he doesn't want to communicate more, it is impossible, but Li Xinchen knows better what the top priority is.
What's more, the woman in front of her must have an extraordinary identity, Li Xinchen still has this self-knowledge, and she must not provoke what she shouldn't provoke, after all, sometimes she will die.
Seeing Li Xinchen standing on the side without being humble or arrogant, Princess Lechang couldn't help frowning slightly, she was very clear about her appearance, even if those royal brothers saw it on weekdays, they couldn't help but take a look at this pretty sister, not to mention others. But today's Li Gongzi seems to have something on his mind, which is strange.
In addition, why is Li Xinchen in Xu Ling's study? Is it really just to read books and write articles to ask Xu Ling for advice?
