Chapter 22: The Pig-Killing Knife of the Years

Ten years ago, Li Longji said this without any problem.

Li Longji has the excellent bloodline of the Li family, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary appearance.

But the ten-year emperor career in the court is no different from the otaku of later generations.

The years are like a pig-killing knife, leaving indelible marks on his originally handsome face.

The handsome and mighty face of the Chinese character became plump and round, and the waist was fattened, and the stomach was straight.

Although he has the luxury of a king, he really has nothing to do with his demeanor.

On the other hand, Pei Min, despite his busy affairs, his swordsmanship has never been pulled down, he will practice every day, and his body is very well maintained, not to mention that the eight-pack abs are so exaggerated, but there is not much fat.

Because of his age, he grew a short beard, which made his already heroic and handsome appearance with a hint of stability.

There is no comparison with Li Longji who is fat.

In Pei Min's eyes, his current opponents should be Wang Wei, Yang Guozhong and others, Li Longji has already let the pig-killing knife ruthlessly slash it, and it is completely impossible.

However, it seems that Li Longji has no such consciousness at all, and still thinks that he is the same as ten years ago.

"Sit, General Gao, take the Longjing tea from Hangzhou and brew it for him. Jingyuan is an expert in this way, but this Longjing should not have tasted or heard of it. You taste it, I seem to be better than Shu tea, only better, but not better! ”

In front of Li Longji, Pei Min hid his clumsiness appropriately, so he didn't show his erudition.

But then again, it is true that he has not tasted Longjing in this era.

Shuzhong is the birthplace of tea culture.

Hangzhou Longjing did originate in the Tang Dynasty, but that was only developed after the tea saint Lu Yu.

Now the tea saint has not been born, and naturally there is no Hangzhou Longjing tea.

However, Pei Min did not expect that he would drive the development of tea culture and let Hangzhou's Longjing come out in advance.

Gao Lishi made Pei Min a cup of mint-flavored Longjing tea.

Pei Min's favorite tea today is Monttop Stone Flower, Monttop Stone Flower Tea has a very strong taste, and people who are not used to drinking it will feel very bitter, but as long as you get used to that bitter taste, the sweet aftertaste later is indeed a must-have in the world.

Longjing is different.

The taste of Longjing is more aromatic, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the heavy taste of monttop stone flowers is just the opposite, each has its own strengths.

"Yes, this Hangzhou Longjing is slightly inferior to the Monttop Stone Flower after the aftertaste, but the color, taste, and entrance are slightly better, and it is indeed a good tea."

Pei Min took a sip and said with praise.

Li Longji waved his hand generously and said: "It's good if Jingyuan likes it, this Longjing is a tribute from Jiangnan, and you can't buy it if you have money outside." I'm not very good at this, so take more. After drinking, the messenger will say something, and I will have someone send it to you. ”

Pei Min hurriedly thanked him.

After a few words of greeting, Li Longji pretended to talk about the defeat of Nanzhao and what happened in the court today, and said with a little annoyance: "I am also thinking about the court, and I don't want to protect Zhang Qiantuo. Zhang Qiantuo wants to live, and I can't dispel the anger in my heart even if I peel him skin and crush his bones. It's just that Nanzhao has already killed him, and the whole family has not let him go. What should I do? Just find an innocent person to be a scapegoat? It doesn't make sense......"

It turned out that Li Longji didn't think about it, and his anger disappeared a lot, but Pei Min's appearance gave him someone to talk to, and the more he talked about it, the more angry he came up.

Pei Min followed and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the person who still says such cool things at this time should be cut down with a knife in my opinion." What nonsense, what kind of noble pretend, these people are hypocrites, animals in human skin. ”

Li Longji's eyes lit up, rubbed his thighs with his palms, and said, "According to Jingyuan's meaning, do you advocate that the affairs of the south continue to fight?" ”

"Gotta fight!" Pei Min said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is no right or wrong now. Since the 40,000 athletes of the Tang Army died in a foreign land, and since the people of Yunnan were sacked, this can no longer be described as right or wrong. What the minister said before was not angry, he really thought that those who faced 40,000 lives and the innocent people in Yunnan were guilty, and could still stand at the highest point of morality to question the problem, should be killed. Now it's a war between two countries...... In this war between countries, there is only victory and defeat, and there is no right or wrong. ”

"But I heard that not only the court, but also the people!" Li Longji has the best face, and he takes into account his reputation in the hearts of the people.

Pei Min shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty won't have heard the saying that the truth is in the hands of the victor, right?" We are so passive now, it is not Zhang Qiantuo's fault at all. Although he was wrong, he had paid the price for it. The reason for all this is the defeat at the front, and as long as we can win the war, all unfavorable words will disappear. ”

Li Longji also knew this truth, and slapped the case with resentment, and said: "I only hate Zhang Qiu and Qiong's ignorance, and live up to the holy will." Saying that, he looked at Pei Min again and said: "In this way, the next battle can only be won and not defeated, and once defeated, the prestige of the imperial court will be even more difficult to recover." ”

Pei Min also nodded cautiously and said: "You can only win, you can't lose, once you lose, the situation will be ten times more than today's crisis." ”

Li Longji hated: "I only hate that Jingyuan can't get out of the west, otherwise I will transfer you to Shudi, and I can sit back and relax." ”

At this moment, the only person Li Longji believes in is Pei Min, and I believe that if the commander of the previous Nanzhao Battle was replaced by Pei Min, there would never be today's shame.

He didn't know that in Pei Min's eyes, the battle of Nanzhao would not be like this even if it was led by pigs.

Pei Min smiled and said: "I have countless generals, how can I use the knife to kill the tiger and the lion to kill the chicken?" ”

He didn't say anything about the knife, and with a bit of shamelessness, he claimed to kill the tiger and the lion.

Li Longji was not surprised, but listened with great peace of mind, and asked, "Is there a suitable candidate in Jingyuan's heart?" ”

Pei Min scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This minister is far away in the West and doesn't know anything about the court. I really don't know what rising stars I have in Datang, but there is a candidate under the command of the minister, which should be feasible. ”

Li Longji's spirit was shocked, and he said without hesitation: "The virtuous do not avoid relatives, Jingyuan will come quickly." ”

Pei Min said: "Ge Shuhan." ”

Li Longji had this name in his memory, thought for a while and said, "Is that the general who killed the prince of Turgish?" ”

"Yes, that's him!" Pei Min said with a package ticket: "Ge Shuhan, this person is light on money and heavy on righteousness, and he is very good at leading troops. The minister can guarantee his life, and he will be able to live up to His Majesty's high expectations. ”

Li Longji did not agree immediately, but said, "Okay, I believe in your vision." But the stakes are high, and I need to meet this Goshuhan. General Gao, you immediately repair a letter and summon Ge Shuhan to Chang'an. ”

His brows had already stretched, and it was obvious that Pei Min had already made up his mind for him.

Don't be humiliated!

Suffer humiliation on the battlefield and use strength to get it back on the battlefield.
