After returning to Qingyi Hall from Xuanwu Field, it was already in the afternoon, and after saying a few words to Li Biao, Zheng Daozhao and others, Tuoba Shen hurriedly returned to the back house.

Lu Guang and the others had already prepared warm water, and after a quarter of an hour, after bathing, Tuoba Shen, who had put on his new clothes again, returned to the front hall with Lu and Liu after grinding time in the room.

When they first arrived at the corridor, Li Biao, Yu Zhong, Zheng Daozhao, Jiang Shaoyou and others came out of the hall, and everyone entered the hall after seeing the salute.

First ordered Lu Guang and the others to guard at the door, and after taking their seats, Tuoba Shen said to Li Biao: "Li Qing, Yu Qing, you two will tell Zheng Qing about today's Xuanwu Field and his party, and Jiang Qing and the others know." ”

Li Biao, after Yu Zhong received the order, talked about the things in the Xuanwu Field together, mainly because the Southern Dynasty wanted to increase the number of war horse transactions and what happened in the subsequent military tent, Cui Huijing may have instructed Liu Jun to disgust people.

In fact, before Tuoba Shen came, Li Biao had already told Zheng Daozhao and the others about this matter, but he hadn't had time to discuss it yet.

After Li Biao finished speaking, Tuoba Shen didn't wait for a few people to express their opinions, and said: "Let's talk about the previous one first, the Southern Dynasty wants to increase the number of transactions. Jiang Qing, you are the deputy envoy, can you speak first? ”

Jiang Shaoyou thought for a while and said: "Xiaguan served as a doctor of Zhongshu in the court, and he usually only served as an internal minister, so he couldn't talk about it for a while. Let's talk about it first! ”

Tuoba listened cautiously and knew that he was confused, although Jiang Shaoyou was able to be used by the Empress Dowager and the emperor because of the reason of recommending the master Li Chong, coupled with his own ability, but because of his outstanding attainments in construction and other arts, he was only called by him as a senior craft designer, and he would not be consulted about government affairs. Now that he is suddenly asked to talk about the deal between the two Koreas, it is no wonder that he has no way to talk about it.

Li Biao did not shirk either, and said: "The number of horses traded, the southern Cao has an amount, and this matter involves not only Long Mucao, but also Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other border cities, and it has always required the approval of His Majesty personally, not His Royal Highness can call the shots." sold too much, not only the generals of the border towns complained, but also the assassins of the border states also had to oppose it. What Lord Qi mentioned today is just a routine, since the opening of the border city, the lower officials have sent the south several times, and they have to be entangled in this matter. If Xiao Ziqing comes to talk about this matter, His Royal Highness can first involve Cao Cao, and this time he has not been authorized to do so, so he does not dare to take care of it. If they insist on buying more horses, they can ask the Lord to write an envelope, and His Highness can deliver it to the court on their behalf. In this way, it can be regarded as a friendship with him. ”

Tuoba Shen listened to Li Biao's words, and knew that he was doing this for his own good, and he didn't want to offend the border towns and states because of this, many of the generals were from the clan and the country, and they had been in other towns for a long time, and they were quite lethal when they spoke, not to mention others, just the current Sizhou Assassin Shi Muliang, he was the emperor's benefactor, if he said his small words, he couldn't stand it.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Shen nodded, and was about to speak, but saw Zheng Daozhao and said: "Your Highness, Li Gong, nn, the lower official has a strategy, maybe it can be used." ”

Tuoba Shen seemed to subconsciously glance at Li Biao, but saw that Li Biao's eyes were slightly shocked, but he quickly disappeared.

This Zheng Daozhao is really an unintentional mistake.

Zheng Daozhao didn't say that he had a plan before, but he didn't have a chance, but now he waits for Li Biao to finish speaking, isn't it embarrassing Li Biao?

It's easy to say if it's a friend of Ruer, but his friendship with Li Biao has not yet reached the point of intimacy, and Li Biao is not only his superior, but also has a problem with a cautious eye. Otherwise, he would not have become a lieutenant of the imperial history later, and after feeling that he had the right to check and balance hundreds of officials, he did not want to be under Li Chong and confront Li Chong in Taiwan Province. In the end, Li Chong was angry, and he was dismissed from office and even almost imprisoned.

But Zheng Daozhao probably didn't know that he didn't pay attention to it and offended Li Biao a little. Sometimes the relationship between superiors and subordinates is like the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and with a little personal fermentation, sometimes it is not so easy to sort out.

Tuoba Shen planned to give Zheng Daozhao a back protection, and said: "Zheng Qing said to listen to it, and also ask Li Gong to advise if it is feasible." ”

Zheng Daozhao got up and said: "The year before last, this dynasty sent an envoy to Jiangnan to ask for a book, but in the end, the court could not discuss it, and it was impossible to sleep, and Your Majesty also deeply regretted it. Now that the Southern Dynasty requires horses, it is better to tell the Southern Dynasty that if it can be written by horses, then things can be done. If the Southern Dynasty responds to this matter, whether the court allows it or not, it will be a great contribution to His Highness, and if the Southern Dynasty has no intention, he cannot complain about His Highness. ”

Tuoba Shen listened to Zheng Daozhao's words and praised it in his heart.

What Zheng Daozhao said makes a lot of sense. Two hundred years of war in Jiangbei, the loss of books and dictionaries was serious, and although the Southern Dynasty had many civil strife since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the good books of the Han people, especially the heirlooms, copied each other for two hundred years, and the number was naturally considerable. Their collection of books often has tens of thousands of volumes, tens of thousands of volumes, even more than the secret pavilion of the Jiankang Imperial Court, not to mention the current dynasty. The collection of lost books has been done for decades, and so far the secret pavilion has only more than 24,000 volumes, and the search is not as good as the great collectors of the Southern Dynasty. It's frustrating to say. If he could take this opportunity to exchange horses for books from the Southern Dynasty, maybe the emperor would really agree.

As Zheng Daozhao said, it is nothing if the Southern Dynasty does not agree, and he has nothing to lose. He didn't believe it, he didn't agree to it, and they were embarrassed to pester themselves?

"Gong Li, in your opinion, what is Zheng Qing's idea? Is it feasible? Tuoba Shen didn't forget to ask Li Biao's opinion.

Li Biao touched his beard and said: "Zheng Langguan's opinion, it can't be said that it is not a good way, if it can really be done, Your Majesty will be overjoyed, if it doesn't work, it will be fine." ”

"Good! Good! Since Li Gong said that he was good, he would listen to Li Gong. Tuoba patted the case cautiously

Then he said to Zheng Daozhao: "Zheng Qing, the matter is done, I will ask for credit for you in front of Your Majesty." Do you remember that you owe Gong Li a favor? ”

Li Biao listened to Tuoba Shen's words, and his heart fell, knowing that he had just been seen out of a little care, and he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.

"How dare you say that any favors are all for the court."

I'm the dividing line

After being happy, he remembered the second topic, calmed down, took a sip of water, and said: "Ma Shi said here in advance, and then talk about Liu Jun today." ”

"My guess and Li Gong's are the same, behind this matter, it may be driven by Cui Huijing. It seems that he is not small in his hostility to this dynasty! ”

"It's better for Xia Guan to go to Cui Pingzhong tomorrow to inquire about the situation." Jiang Shaoyou said

Tuoba Shen put down the teacup and said, "Okay, it's just, I'm afraid I won't get anything!" He looked at Li Biao as he spoke.

Li Biao suppressed the intention in his heart and said, "Now that we have no clue about this matter, it is better to try it first." If it was just Cui Huijing's own intention, and the Qi lord had no intention, Cui Pingzhong would not hide it. Unless he also holds the same opinion as Cui Huijing, or rather, the Qi Lord has already adopted Cui Huijing's opinion. ”

"Alright! Jiang Qing, you will go tomorrow. Let's just say that we suspect that Cui Huijing instigated Liu Jun's provocation, don't mention Xiao Ziqing, so as not to harm him. No matter what he says or doesn't say anything, we can at least have a little bottom in our hearts. ”

Liu Jun's scene today is not without benefits to him, at least now he has found a reason, and it is a reason to directly pick out this matter. Originally, he also planned to let people go to the Jiankang market to let out the wind, make Cui Huijing's matter vague, add oil and vinegar to it, and create a few messy rumors to cover up Xiao Ziqing, and then let Jiang Shaoyou come to visit. Now that you have a ready-made reason, it doesn't have to be so troublesome.

Moreover, even if Jiang Shaoyou went here and found nothing, he also had a plan for his next move.
