Lan Ziyi replied;

"I arranged for the eldest brother to have something else, and the two gentlemen went with the eldest brother."

Tao Zhutu was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he didn't ask much, and went down with a sigh. The guy who went down to the back end of the tea poured hot tea for Lan Ziyi and Li Minchun, and Li Minchun raised his cup and tasted a sip of tea and asked Lan Ziyi:

"I really didn't know that Wei Hou was privately hosting a banquet today to entertain the victorious generals."

Lan Ziyi also took a sip of tea, and he asked:

"Then whose will does Your Highness think I am?"

Li Minchun said:

"I thought it was the inner court that sent Wei Hou to pick up a few generals before the outer court, and who thought that the outer court directly removed the steps of the triumphant sacrifice of prisoners. I guess it's because the generals in the army have been too close to each other, right? ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"It's not just too secret, the three people I came to pick up the wind today were all recommended by me through the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Qi Rongxun, the baby of Zhang Mingyue, went into the city alone today to go to Zhang Mingyue's mansion for a banquet."

Li Minchun laughed dryly and said:

"It's really clear."

Then Li Minchun changed his words and asked:

"Wei Hou, Tao Dalang and the two gentlemen of the Qiu family are not here today? What could be more important than catching the wind? ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"There is indeed something more important than catching the wind, and it is still a matter of the palace."

Li Minchun frowned slightly when he heard that there was something in the palace, and he thought for a while and said:

"Isn't Wei Hou using me?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"To use it is not to use His Highness, it is someone else. Your Highness, rest assured, I know that you don't want to wade into the troubled waters of the capital, and I promise not to implicate you, but today the palace needs to borrow your people for use. ”

Li Minchun said:

"Although the human guard waits for use, I can help Wei Hou even if I can help, but if Wei Hou deducts the black pot for me behind my back, it will not be kind."

Lan Ziyi picked up the teapot, and he personally filled the tea for Li Minchun, and at the same time promised:

"Your Highness, don't worry, I definitely didn't cheat you, and you will know what's going on when you return to the palace today. Ziyi thought that His Royal Highness was not so much worried about my little tricks as harming you, it was better to worry about today's banquet, and it was really dangerous for you to come to my banquet today instead of going to Zhang Mingyue's place. ”

Li Minchun picked up the tea poured by Lan Ziyi and gently clinked glasses with Lan Ziyi, he smiled lightly, looked out the window and said:

"Although my Silla is a subject country of Taisho, my Silla court and the Taisho court do not have much to do with it, even if Zhang Mingyue is in Taisho Zai

If he rules the world, he can't meddle in my Silla affairs. Besides, I am a prince of the country, and I came to the Celestial Empire to bathe and sanctify, Zhang Shoufu needs me to be an example to put gold on the face of the court, so naturally I have to give me face first, and wait for you to think about it, even Brother Temoshenge can be saved by you using the face of the court as an excuse, what did I do? What is it? On the contrary, it is the feudal generals like Daigong and Weihou who are closely related to my Silla, and I dare not offend you. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Your Highness is afraid that it is over, and it is the Qi family army of the Eastern Formation that is responsible for the defense of the Silla direction."

Li Minchun said:

"The Eastern Army is gone, whether it is Qi Taishi or Qi Hou, they can only stay in the capital for the rest of their lives, and if they want to lead the soldiers, they can only wait for Qi Hou's son to grow up.

Lan Ziyi said:

"The Eastern Army is gone, and the Northern Army will be gone sooner or later, and His Highness is losing money when he bets on me now."

Li Minchun said:

"At least now the Northern Army will not be finished, and it will not be finished for a long time to come. The form of northern Xinjiang has always been no better than him, the nomadic tribes of the grassland outside the Saiwai have been subdued in successive dynasties, but from ancient times to the present, no emperor can effectively rule there, the control of the grassland in the middle earth is not as good as the control of the imperial court over Silla, and the northern army is unstable. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"Beizhen is a feudal town after all, and the imperial court will not rest assured, and the defense of the northern border will be handed over to the forbidden army sooner or later."

Li Minchun said:

"That's just a new brand and another warlord. Just imagine, the capital is in the south of the Yangtze River, how far away from here is not thousands of miles, the border situation is urgent, the border guards cannot wait for the imperial court military order thousands of miles back and forth, the border generals must judge the situation and transfer their own troops, even if they are replaced by the forbidden army, they have to do so, as long as they do this in the north, they will form warlords who are not subject to the king's orders, and the court will not be at ease after all. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"But even so, it is better to use the forbidden army than to use the feudal town, my father and I both understand that sooner or later, my Lan family will be released by the emperor like the Qi family."

Lee Min Chun Dao;

"So I have to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with a few future Praetorian generals."

Lan Ziyi said:

"How did Your Highness know that these generals will be sent to the north in the future?"

Li Minchun said:

"The emperor and the court must use their own people, the Beijing army is the emperor's heart guard, the selection of generals must be picked from this first, the generals of the Beijing army are incompetent, now the three generals Zhang, Gao, and Li are all outstanding and rising generals, the court must use them first if there is something to do, who else can use them without them?"

Lan Ziyi smiled, and he asked again:

"Qi Rongxun will also have to join the forbidden army in the future, why doesn't His Highness go to have a relationship with him?"

Li Minchun said:

"Wait, there must be a limit to tempting people. You don't have to pretend to be confused, he Qi Rongxun has just been transferred back to the capital by cutting the domain, how can the imperial court appoint him with important responsibilities again? Even if the court is really confused enough to use him, my father is also friendly with Qi Taishi, and he is not afraid that he will embarrass me, as for the relationship, how does Wei Hou know that I don't have a relationship with Qi Houtao in the palace every day? ”

Lan Ziyi clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this, he raised his teacup and said:

"Your Highness is really worthy of being the prince of Silla, you are thoughtful, Silla will definitely be a peaceful world in the future with a wise lord like you!"

Li Minchun raised the teacup and clinked glasses with Lan Ziyi, he smiled:

"Borrowing from Wei Hou Jiyan. In fact, I am making excuses for myself by saying so much. I've been in the capital for so many years, and I've never had such close contact with people before, and the most important thing for me to come out today is not the conspiracy considerations I mentioned, for me

The most important thing is to wait. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"Me? What's important to me? ”

Li Minchun said:

"I have a similar temperament with Wei Hou, Wei Hou and Wei Hou's group of friends are worthy of deep friendship, eating and drinking with you makes people happy, I haven't been so happy for a long time."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, the most important thing in life is to make yourself happy. As long as His Highness is happy, he can come and have a drink with me at any time. ”

Li Minchun smiled:

"Definitely, definitely."

After the two touched the cup, they turned their heads to look out at the scenery together, in the early winter, the wind was cold, and the heavy clouds pressed on the top of people's heads, completely covering the sun, looking up can only see the colorful clouds or light or dark wrestling together, the clouds and waves are churning in the obscurity, like the tide of the sea. Suddenly, a gust of north wind swept away the last few dead leaves on the treetops, and the thick clouds in the sky finally shivered coldly, shaking off the spots in the sky. Lan Ziyi said softly:

"It's snowing."
