Chapter 106: Humble Request
Li Te was more satisfied with getting the desired result, waved his hand slightly, and then turned to the small pond next to him, and the little bun also reacted quickly, and cleverly beckoned the two guards to go down.
Then I don't know where Li Teh took out a handful of fish food, so he quietly leaned on the railing to feed it, watching the originally calm lake surface keep rippling, and the smile just now gradually disappeared, compared with the churning lake, it seemed extraordinarily calm.
Soon, Li Teh also lost his patience, and threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond, and suddenly a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the fish in the pond water fluttered even harder, and even Li Teh felt that some of the pool water splashed on his face.
Li Te patted the ash on his hands, and soon regained his smile, all this in the eyes of Hua Baokai and Zhang Han, they only thought of one sentence, a companion is like a tiger, in just a short period of time, their faces have changed several times.
Li Teh looked at the two people who didn't know when to stand up again, laughed and cursed, but no longer insisted.
Looking at the royal goldfish still competing for fish food in the pool, he asked lightly, "What can you see from this?" β
Let the two of them lead the troops to fight, they have no hesitation, but I don't know what the new emperor is making trouble about, and people have been guessing these inexplicable things, the two of them really want to cry without tears, is this the new emperor's three fires.
Li Tet didn't notice it, and thought that the two were more shrewd, so he deliberately didn't answer to highlight his wit. Seeing this, the naΓ―ve Li Teh smiled and said, "I saw ...... in it."
"I saw tonight's sumptuous fish dinner hahahaha"
Li Teh looked at the two people who were not smiling, but looked stimulated, the laughter gradually stopped, and after laughing dryly: "It's a little cold, cough cough." β
"Okay, no kidding, although I have never been out of the palace (pretending not to have been out) and have seen the world, I know that this world is just like the pool of clear water just now."
"The seemingly calm and impermanent water of the pond on the surface is actually hidden underneath countless dangers, once there are weak small shrimp and fat bait in the pool, those seemingly harmless fish will completely expose their claws, swarm up, and tear you apart."
After hearing this, Hua Baokai looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and after being entangled, he still hugged his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to agree, although we have just leveled the world, and there may be some unevenness in various places, but after all, these are some clowns who jump off the beam, under our strong national strength, they can't make any splashes, and they will be scattered with the wind." β
Then he added a sentence with a little dissatisfaction: "And, no matter what, even if I am not the fish in the pond in the emperor's mouth, how can I not be the little shrimp that can be slaughtered." β
Li Teh smiled and didn't refute after hearing this, it's good to have a reaction, and then looked at Zhang Han and asked with a smile: "Shaorong, can you agree with me or General Hua's remarks?" What do you think we are? β
Zhang Han pondered for a while, bowed his head and said: "I deeply feel in my heart that under the leadership of the emperor, we will definitely become the fishermen of this pond." β
Hua Bao was stunned when he heard this: "Damn, this is okay, you are not the answer you asked!" Despise you! Hey, I didn't think of that! β
Li Teh laughed, patted Zhang Han's shoulder and said, "Shaorong, it's still your sycophancy." β
Zhang Han said solemnly: "The humble position is just telling the truth, saying what you think in your heart, it is not a slap in the face." β
Li Teh looked at Zhang Han with interest and said, "Oh? Well, let's talk about why you think we can be the fishermen. β
Zhang Han didn't feel flustered because of Li Te's sudden question, looked at Hua Baokai, and then straightened up and said, "No!" β
"First of all, I feel that the current situation in the world is not optimistic, and even very dangerous."
Before Zhang Han could continue, he heard Hua Baokai on the side and shouted and interrupted: "Bold! β
Zhang Han didn't continue, just lowered his head and waited for Li Te's movements.
Li Teh smiled and said indifferently: "Hey, it's okay, General Hua, there is no need to be like this, there are no outsiders present today, and I, the new emperor, can't listen to other people's comments on the first day." β
Then he hooked his fingers: "Go on." β
Zhang Han paused, looked at Hua Baohua, and then continued: "General Hua has been in the border pass for a long time all the year round, so I don't think I know much about the pass. β
"General Hua, what do you think of the situation outside the border now?" Zhang Han asked with a smile.
Hua Baokai thought for a while, and said to Li Te: "Your Majesty, although the Turks outside the Saiwai have been a little unpeaceful recently, as long as there are still old ministers here, they will never let them pass the test." β
"Yes, both the humble position and the emperor believe in your ability, General Hua, but from this emergency, General Hua, you can only take out a few thousand elite horses to ride into Beijing to escort."
"If this is not General Hua's deliberate and unwanted to save the driver, then I think it is obvious that the border army is facing a major dilemma."
"That's the shortage of soldiers, especially cavalry."
Hua Baokai: "I ......" said, and then knelt on the ground weakly, "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me." β
In fact, the three of them all knew that if they wanted to say that there was a lack of defenders at the border pass, yes, there was still a lot of shortage, but tens of thousands of cavalry were still made up, but Hua Baokai was stunned to turn the 20,000 cavalry sent by order into 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry for the safety of the entire border pass.
In fact, Hua Baokai came to the rescue on the way again, and he had already had this expectation in his heart, the rescue failed, and the rebels would not keep themselves with hundreds of thousands of troops, even if the rescue was successful in the end, the royal family might also find himself to settle accounts because of the poor escort.
Although Li Teh also understands Hua Baokai's idea, changing the emperor and the safety of the border pass is himself, and he is estimated to choose to defend the border pass and protect more people.
But when he is the emperor, he is really a saint, and it must be false to say that he is not angry, but now the only choice is to paste this window paper, see through it or not, everyone should be a fool.
Li Te smiled and helped Hua Bao to open and said: "This is to see the outside, General Hua, you have worked tirelessly, day and night from the border to save my Li family, I can't be grateful, what a crime." β
"I all know that when Ao Bai was in charge of the military department, he deducted all kinds of military salaries, falsely reported the number of people, and even heard that he even embezzled the blood and tears of the border army to his own private army, which is really innocent."
"General Hua had a very difficult time, relying only on an army of 300,000 people who lacked food and clothing, and he was struggling to hold on, facing a Turkic army of nearly one million."
"However, after looking at Aobai's private soldiers and General Hua's border army, I think that the combat strength of the army has no absolute relationship with food and salary," Zhang Han said jokingly as if looking at the rather tense atmosphere.
Li Teh frowned after hearing this, looked at Hua Baokai with a heavy face, and reprimanded Zhang Han twice: "Shaorong, you Meng Lang, heroes and martyrs can't joke, Xiao Baozi, you come here, you go back to find people and General Hua's people, and check together how much food and salary has been deducted during Aobai's tenure, and all of them will be made up, and it will be doubled!" Missing a penny, I am the only one who asks. β
At this time, Hua Baokai had already burst into tears: "Brothers, the emperor has not forgotten us, recalling the scenes of the past, the scenes of the brothers fighting with their lives with the murderous Turkic soldiers, watching familiar figures continue to fall on their sides. Hua Baokai's heart has long been stabbed without knowing how many knives she has been stabbed. β
"I have never been afraid of death, my husband is shrouded in horse, and he has died well, and he can still defend the frontier land when he turns into a heroic soul. And all they want is a humble guarantee. β
"Enough food and salary, family worry-free"
