Chapter 65: Two Cups of Tea on the World (I)
Li Qing's heart is naturally impossible to find out what Wang Ji thinks, but the two of them are beside him, Li Qing's helplessness at the moment coupled with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Wang Ji is naturally not an unintentional person, such details, the two are so close, Wang Ji can naturally see it clearly, Wang Ji is also roughly out of the moment Li Qing is naturally thinking about his heart.

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Shou next to him is also a person with a story, could it be that my understanding of him in the past is really one-sided!" At this moment, Wang Ji did not disturb Li Qing's meditation, quietly picked up the teacup beside him, and carefully tasted the tea leaves in the cup, which were not of the highest quality, but the tea was cool but mixed with a touch of bitterness, staring at the very rough pattern engraved on the teacup, Wang Ji was very casual.
After a short conversation, Wang Ji knew that the Shouwang in front of him did not have the arrogant and invincible posture of other princes, for fear that others would not know that they were emperors and nobles; On the contrary, the young people around them have chosen a higher form of expression than them.
Compared with other princes, King Shou next to him chose to bury this arrogance deeply, approachable, every word and deed gives people a sense of equality from the heart, as a scholar, Wang Ji naturally knows that all people with a skill, all are arrogant people, maybe they will be forced to choose short-term allegiance.
But this is not a long-term method after all, they want to get the attention of their loyalists while gaining a position of power, and it is obvious that for this, King Shou beside him has deeply understood and has practiced it.
It's just a pity after all, if there is no such thing, with the favor of Emperor Xuanzong, the support of the prime minister of the dynasty, and the means of realization at this moment, even if the current crown prince has been decided, King Shou still has a great chance of flopping.
But reality is reality after all, there are not so many assumptions, and the reality is so cruel that we need to face it bravely!
The spacious lobby fell into an eerie calm, and neither of the two people in the field broke it, they were both meditating on what was in their hearts...
"I'm sorry, let Mr. see you smile, Li Mao is distracted!" The words are like old friends talking to each other, there is no sense of restraint, there is no slightest strength of the superior, and the words are very elegant, at this moment Li Qing has already covered up all the three points of arrogance in his character, and he is completely an authentic reader.
"When you see people and talk about people, you talk about ghosts", if Li Qing wants to talk openly with others, he must naturally first shorten the distance between the two, and only in this way will Li Qing get twice the result with half the effort.
"Sir, please continue to talk about Mr.'s opinion on the previous Shouwang, Li Qing is really curious, I believe that Mr. will definitely give Li Mao a surprise!"
Since the prince asked, then Wang Ji was blunt!
To tell the truth, His Royal Highness King Shou in the past was more than elegant and kind, if he could really inherit the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty in the future, he would definitely be a benevolent monarch, but since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been an emperor other than Gaozong who is as easy to give as His Royal Highness.
Let Wang Ji say it more thoroughly, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, they all stepped on the white bones to ascend the throne, even with the support of the emperor, if there is no certain means, how can they surpass other princes and stand out from them.
Li Qing waved his hand, signaling Wang Feng in front of him to continue, worthy of being able to leave a talent for future generations, originally in Li Qing's impression that Wang Feng only had superb means of collecting money, but for the time being, the middle-aged man in front of him who was mixed with six or seven points of honest appearance actually had such political wisdom, if it weren't for Li Qing's habit of being familiar with the trend of historical development, I am afraid it would be really difficult to talk to the middle-aged man in front of him.
At this moment, Wang Ji is a little honest, completely a capable person who governs the country and the world, full of wise political vision, good eloquence, if he is sketching a political blueprint; It is really possible for ordinary rulers to be fooled by the middle-aged man in front of them.
Li Qing finally understood why the future Wang Ji could be reused by Emperor Xuanzong, and the old people always had a natural sense of closeness to people with a simple and honest appearance.
Li Qing will also not forget that the current powerful and powerful envoy An Lushan, who holds the envoy of the two towns and is in charge of the world's elite soldiers, has a simple face and knows how to sell foolishness, so he has won the respect of Emperor Xuanzong today, and has become one of the few people at the peak of today's Tang Dynasty regime.
Seeing his words and getting the permission of the young man beside him, although Wang Ji was surprised in his heart, he was not moved at all on the surface, and said slowly: "It can be said that if it weren't for the words and deeds of King Shou who entered the palace with his own eyes this time, as well as the gold medal that His Royal Highness took out in the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Jie still couldn't believe that it was His Royal Highness King Shou who could overwhelm the Assassin Shi who was criticized in Chang'an City." ”
"I don't know what Mr. thinks of today's Datang world?" Li Qing leisurely picked up the already cold tea next to him, skimmed off the broken leaves floating on the liquid surface, the entrance was slightly bitter, but Li Qing didn't care, quietly looked at Wang Ji in front of him, looking forward to this first time he liked to give himself a satisfactory answer.
Until this moment, Wang Jie's speech was no longer as restrained as before, and after nearly half an hour of conversation, Wang Jiao already had a general understanding of the character of King Shou beside him.
Today's Datang world seems to be calm, but it is not quiet.
On the northeast border, the Khitan, Tongluo and other ethnic minorities are inexhaustible and killed, and they have always been the Tang subjects on the northeast border; As for the Turks in the north, who were destroyed as early as the Taizong period, even though it has been nearly a hundred years, their idea of recovering the country has never been broken.
In the northwest, if it weren't for the fact that the Tang Dynasty successively established Shuofang, Hexi, Longyou, and Anxi four towns of Jiedu envoys, with a total strength of nearly 200,000 troops, the world is divided into ten major jiedu envoys, and the northwest land occupies half of it, which is enough to see that the current ruler of the Tang Dynasty - Emperor Xuanzong attaches great importance to the northwest, if not, the Silk Road, I am afraid that it has long been cut off by the remnants of Tubo and Turkic.
As for the southwest, today's Tubo has gradually risen, and its strength is better than it was at the beginning, and it has long become a major problem for today's Tang Dynasty, coupled with the fact that it is located on the plateau, which can be attacked and defended, even if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have the strength to chase to the plateau, but the water and soil are not adapted, and the difference in living habits will definitely make the Tang army suffer heavy losses.
It is precisely because of this that Tubo can be said to have become a thorn in the heart that successive rulers have tried to pull out but have never removed, whether it is Emperor Taizong, who created the rule of Zhenguan, or Emperor Xuanzong, who was young and old, and created a prosperous era of the 30-year Kaiyuan Dynasty, in the face of Tubo, even as the male lord, they are still helpless.
Although today's Nanzhao is superficially subordinate to the Tang Empire, but secretly it is "eyebrow-to-eye" with Tubo, and it is clear that the camp is clearly confused by the rulers of the two countries, and it can be said that today's Tang Empire seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is full of dangers.
