Chapter 634: The Cause of Annihilation

Su Lu did not wait for news from Tang State.

After the Chu envoy entered the Tang Dynasty, there was no news.

On the contrary, on the south bank of the Tuojiang River, the Tang army's troops and horses were mobilized and appeared in various passes to strengthen the city defense. Fight for the defenders.

For a time, the south bank of the Tuojiang River became a rumor again.

After receiving the news, Su Lu already knew the answer, no matter whether the Tang State would send troops to rescue Chu, he would definitely not let the Han army pretend to go to Tang to save Chu.

In the imperial study, Li Qing finished reading a notebook, stretched his waist, stepped off the dragon chair, sat down next to Su Lu, and stared at his little daughter running around in the imperial study, with a lot of pampering in his eyes.

"Gao Ran still doesn't dare to let us go."

Changning next to him said with a smile:

"We have a prince in Han, which country will not be afraid of our army."

Su Yun, who was teasing Su Yi next to him, snorted in his nose:

"That's not necessarily, the Taixi people are not afraid of us, and the Mali people even threaten us to return the land of the Tang Kingdom, otherwise they will start a war with us."

"Even our neighbor to the east, the old witch of Dongqi, is not afraid of us, no, the cargo ship that came to Fuxiang a few days ago was detained by them."

The female officer came to report and said that Qian Qianyi asked to see her.

Li Qing frowned slightly, and asked Su Lu and said:

"What is Qian Shangshu doing at this time?"

Su Lu shook his head:

"You'll just ask him later, I can't guess."

Li Qing's eyes lit up, his cheeks flushed, and he said with a smile:

"Su Yun said just now, the old witch's subordinates detained the cargo ship of the Han Kingdom, if nothing else, someone must have asked for my Qian Shangshu."

A moment later, Qian Shangshu came in, saluted Su Lu and Li Qing, and was given a seat.

Li Qing asked with a smile:

"Qian Shangshu, why did you come to see me in such a hurry?"

"Today's morning, I haven't said everything that should be said."

Qian Qianyi got up and saluted Li Qing with a respectful attitude.

"This matter is a whim of the old minister, so I came to see Your Majesty and the prince before, disturbed Your Majesty and the prince, and hoped that Your Majesty would atone for your sins."

Li Qing's face turned cold when he heard this, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Why, did you Qian Qianyi accept a gift from someone else and come over as a lobbyist."

A look of astonishment flashed on Qian Qianyi's face, and after a long time, he said suspiciously:

"The old minister is stupid, and the minister really hasn't dared to accept anyone's gifts these days."

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and he patted the armrest with his bare hand, and said angrily:

"A group of businessmen, the old ministers who use me, don't even give money, what kind of crime should they be guilty of."

Qian Qianyi looked confused, and immediately recalled from head to toe what he was going to do, there was no possibility of being driven by others, why did Your Majesty look like I was deceived and came to ask for help on behalf of others.

Su Lu waved his hand and motioned to Qian Qianyi to say:

"Okay, old money, tell me about you, don't let your majesty speculate."

Qian Qianyi's face flashed with doubt, but he still spoke:

"Back to Your Majesty, back to the Prince, after the minister went down to the court today, he went to the Beijing Normal University to teach, and after class, when he was talking with his classmates on the grass, he saw the birds in the sky."

"There are a few students who have mentioned that they want to serve the court and want to apply for the army, but they are like this, if they join the army, they will inevitably be looked down upon by their families and relatives, so they ask me if there is any way for them to serve the court and not be looked down upon by their family members and friends."

Li Qing heard the words and said:

"Ten years of cold windows, but in the end they fell into being a big soldier, and their families looked down on them, what is there to say."

"These students don't want to study hard, participate in the imperial examination, serve the imperial court, and be filial to their parents, but want to be a big soldier, which is really useless."

Qian Qianyi's old face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say the words later, and he was left behind by Li Qingshu for a long time, and then he turned his eyes to Su Lu with a look of hope.

Su Lu smiled:

"Lord Qian has ideas, Your Majesty listens to them, you can't talk about them one by one, besides, why can't the students of the Jingshi University apply for the military academy and serve the imperial court."

"The imperial examination is to serve the imperial court, to be thrown into the army, to fight for the imperial court, to expand the territory, and also to serve the imperial court."

"It is better to follow the example of the imperial examination, set up a martial arts department, and select military talents who are proficient in martial arts and familiar with Tao strategy, and provide talents for the military department and the general staff."

Qian Qianyi next to him slapped his thigh, and in Li Qing's stunned gaze, he said excitedly:

"The prince said well, the minister is this idea, the selection of civil ministers has the imperial examination, although the selection of military generals has a martial arts hall, but because of the family background, growth limitations, not everyone can enter the martial arts hall, we might as well open the martial arts, such as the imperial examination, for the imperial court to select talents."

Li Qing was thoughtful.

Su Lu gave Qian Qianyi a thumbs up and praised him for his thoughtfulness.

A little eunuch hurriedly entered the imperial study and reported:

"Your Majesty, Lord Wangjiang, Wangjiang has sent an urgent express report of eight hundred miles."

As he spoke, the little eunuch presented a copy of the report.

Changning took the express report, checked it carefully, and after confirming that everything was fine, it was presented to Su Lu.

Su Lu glanced at the express, his eyes narrowed, and handed the express to Li Qing, his face was ugly:

"This old witch in Dongqi is really good at making trouble."

Li Qing read the express report, and his face also became ugly:

"Kill my merchant and destroy my warship, Dongqi is going to provoke a war with my Han Kingdom."

Qian Qianyi's face was puzzled, looking at the two of them, he didn't understand what Dongqi had done to hurt the heavens and reason.

Li Qing handed the express to Qian Qianyi and said in a deep voice:

"The cargo ship to Fuxiang was detained, the Wangjiang Navy sent a grasshopper boat to negotiate, and the Interns signed an armistice agreement with us, I don't think there will be any trouble, but I didn't expect something to happen again."

"Kill my cargo, destroy my cargo ship, detain my warship, and hang the head of my sailor general on the mast to show the public, this old witch's generals are so bold."

Su Lu got up, walked to the imperial case, picked up a booklet, opened it and looked at it.

"What is going on with me, when did Zhao Shuo eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to argue with my Han Kingdom, it turned out that it was not Zhao Shuo. The Governor of Harbour City's unified army has recently been replaced, our old acquaintance, Zhao Chang. ”

Li Qing said coldly:

"I don't care if he Zhao Chang or Zhao Shuo, since he dares to kill my naval soldiers, then I want to make him look good, Duan Xiu is a brave general who has eaten a banquet in my Wuying Palace, since he died in the hands of his Zhao Chang, then he Zhao Chang will come to accompany the funeral."

"Pass my will, immediately repair a letter of the country, and send it to the old witch of the Qi country, saying that he is the general of the Qi country who killed my Han general, and he is limited to hand over the people within three days, otherwise I will level his harbor city."

Qian Qianyi persuaded beside him:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid three days is not enough, and when the letterhead is delivered to the capital of Qi State, it will take three days."

Li Qing's face was cold and arrogant, and his tone was cold.

"What I want is that I don't have enough time, otherwise how can I attack the Qi country, pass on my will, and the Wangjiang naval army will be assembled, and within a month, the harbor must be conquered to avenge General Duan Xiu."

Su Lu pinched his chin and suddenly spoke:

"In this case, it is better to destroy the Qi country and expel the Interns completely by the way."

Qian Qianyi looked worried, that is the Interne, the Interne with a strong crossbow, if it really fights, something big will happen.
