"I really don't know what that Li Ji thinks, a good city lord's mansion can't live, so he has to camp outside the city" It's not the first time that Li Qing, the head of the East Palace, has complained in front of Li Chengqian: "Doesn't he know that His Highness is injured and needs a better place to recuperate?" According to the villain, he just didn't take His Highness in his eyes. ”

"That's it!" After scolding Li Qing, Li Chengqian turned over lightly on the simple bed, stared at Li Qing intently, and said sharply: "Don't mention these words again in the future, now General Li Ji is the commander of the first army, and everything in the army is decided by him alone, not to mention that he didn't have the intention to embarrass the lonely king, that is, he really has the heart to squeeze, do you think your words will not reach his ears?" ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian deliberately glanced around the camp tent, and the meaning of his words was unclear, this was Li Ji's territory, and there were soldiers under Li Ji everywhere, and there were one or several ears secretly peeping outside the camp now.

I don't know if he is suspicious of a dark ghost or something else, since he arrived at Yumen Pass, Li Chengqian has always had a feeling of being watched during this time, every time he goes out of the camp or returns to the camp, he will find that there are always one or two stragglers looking at them.

Although these people do not have any radical or disrespectful actions, no one will like this feeling of being watched at any time, so Li Chengqian has always had a little resentment in his heart about Li Ji.

"Yes, yes, it's the villain's negligence." Hearing the meaning of their Royal Highness's words, Li Qing leaned forward and said to Li Chengqian in a low voice: "These days, every time the villain goes out of the camp, he feels that someone is following behind him, and there is a sense of being restrained everywhere, do you think it could be that Li Ji is secretly spying on me?" ”

"Li Ji will not" Although he has a lot of grievances against Li Ji, but Li Chengqian still believes in Li Ji's personality to some extent, so after hearing Li Qing's speculation, he directly denied it, and said: "If Li Ji is suspicious, he doesn't have to work hard every day to report the secret affairs of the army to King Lone, wouldn't it be better to ignore Lone directly?" ”

"It's not Li Ji" Then who else in this army has the courage to be disrespectful to His Highness? Li Qing was still a little unwilling, and then asked His Royal Highness suspiciously.

"Gongsun Helan!" Li Chengqian replied bluntly, half-squinting his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Helan and Liu Yiyi are sworn brothers, and there is a lot of hostility towards Gu along the way, according to his current official position and status in the army, he is fully capable of doing this." ”

"Gongsun Helan? As far as he is, he dares to be disrespectful to His Highness? Li Qing couldn't believe it, and then felt that his master was insulted by the villain, and he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and said loudly to Li Chengqian: "The villain will go to Li Ji and ask him to deal with Sun Helan strictly, and see if he will feel like doing this transgression in the future!" ”

"Okay" Li Chengqian waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "If there is no evidence, that is, Li Ji will not be severely punished, and it will provoke the suspicion of the generals in the army in vain, which is inappropriate." ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at Li Qing, and said: "Anyway, the lonely king will not go out of the camp" can't fall into any tricks, as long as you act carefully when you go out in the future, just do it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Seeing that His Royal Highness had made up his mind, Li Qing didn't say anything more, and stood silently aside after answering.

"Your Highness, General Li Ji outside the tent asks to see you!" At this time, Fang Zixing, the guard of the East Palace who was in charge of guarding the tent, came in from outside and bowed down to report to Li Chengqian.

Chang'an, Liufu.

Because there are several apprentices who want to teach, and the business in Chang'an City also needs him, the boss, to take care of him, so soon after the Lantern Festival in Sanyuan, "Liu Yiyi took his family back to Chang'an's new house, but this time he brought the old father-in-law and his family over" After all, the current situation is a little delicate, and put Zhang Xiaoliang and the old couple at home alone" Whether it is Zhang Chuchu or Liu Yiyi, they are not at ease.

Liu Laoshi and Zhang Porliang placed them in Anbi, and Liu Yiyi specially called Chen Ming, who had been staying in Chang'an, to ask him about the various things that had happened in Chang'an City during these days.

"Young Master, your name is Xiao?" Walking from the outside with a limp, Chen Ming bowed down and saluted their young master and asked respectfully.

"Sit down and talk." Waving his hand to signal Chen Ming to sit down on the chair beside him, Liu Yiyi casually poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it to him, and asked him in a warm voice: "Is everything in the eyebrows okay these days?" ”

"Back to the young master" Chen Ming took the tea bowl with both hands, and when he heard the young master of their family's question, he replied: "I have come to some visitors and received some congratulatory gifts, but most of them are people who are clinging, so there is no need to care." In the meantime, Ren Yougongzi personally sent an invitation to the door, saying that he was going to marry the Sang Ming girl of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce on the ninth day of the first month, and invited the young master to come over for a drink. ”

"Xiao Yu is getting married?" Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, and said, "I think that Miss Sang Yong's injury has healed, and such a festive event cannot be missed." You should pay more attention to this matter, prepare some congratulatory gifts, and remind me when the time comes. Come with me. ”

"Yes, young master, Ming Ze wrote it down." Chen Ming smiled and nodded lightly, knowing that the young master of their family had a good relationship with that young master Ren You, so he didn't dare to slack off secretly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin" took a sip of tea, and Liu Yiyi asked Chen Mingze: "What changes have you made in the past few days?" ”

"Young Master Hui" knew what their young master wanted to know, and Chen Ming directly bent over and replied: "Since the last time the congratulatory gifts were sent to the palace, there have been a lot of visitors in front of the Jin Palace, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin has always been closed to this, and the number of visitors has gradually decreased in two or three days, and now the calm in front of the Jin Palace. ”

"Also," Chen Ming continued: "Since the establishment of the mansion, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has stayed at home for most of the time, except for a trip to Sanyuan when he was in Shangyuan, and a trip to the palace after receiving a congratulatory gift from the young master, he has never left the palace again. ”

"Hmm" Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, it seems that Li Zhi, this kid, still has to follow the records in the history books, play low-key, and hide himself.

It's just that with the survival of Empress Changsun, the early death of Li Tai, the king of Wei, the defection of Hou Junji, and Li Chengqian's westward expedition, the history of the early Tang Dynasty has already undergone a huge change.

Zhao Gongcun is a talent, and he also knows what Li Zhi needs most now, not power, not fame, not the emperor's favor and endless money and jewelry, but enough time for Li Zhi to grow up safely. After all, compared with Li Chengqian and Li Ke, Li Zhi is still too young.

It's just that the current situation has changed, and Li Chengqian is no longer the gentle and generous prince he was at the beginning, if the northwest is smooth this time, Li Chengqian will rise strongly, Li Ke and Li Zhen are obviously not his opponents, and there is not too much time left for Li Zhi, as the housekeeper and Xixi seat in Li Zhi's mansion, I don't know if Zhao Gongcun has seen the current situation and come up with corresponding countermeasures accordingly?

When it's time to fight, you have to come out and fight.

Liu Yiyi lowered his head and took another sip of hot tea, although the test of hundreds of thousands of silver coins a few days ago was not very obvious, but Zhao Gongcun and Li Zhi were able to think of offering a congratulatory gift, winning a lot of credit in front of the emperor, and leaving a good impression in front of the emperor, which was already a good harvest. At least, it can be seen from this incident that Zhao Gongcun is impatient, and he is not the kind of person who abides by the rules and does not know how to be flexible. Li Zhi is surrounded by capable people, and he assists and teaches by his side, which can be regarded as Li Zhi's luck.

"Young Master Helan in the Northwest, what news is coming?" Thinking of Li Zhi's future, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but care about the war between Li Ji and Hou Junji in the northwest, Li Chengqian was the accompanying overseer, if the war went well, Li Shimin couldn't say that he would change his opinion of this eldest son.

As for the dirty things that Li Chengqian did before, God knows if Li Shimin would think that it was the decisiveness and ruthlessness that an emperor should have? After all, Li Shimin also doesn't like the former prince who was gentle and indecisive.

"No" Chen Ming replied in a loud voice: "However, there are many reliable rumors among the market, saying that Hou Junji led an army of more than 100,000 people to besiege Yumen Pass, and General Li Ji has been passively defending, and the Northwest Battle Eyebrow is very unfavorable to my Tang Dynasty." ”

"There is no wind and no waves, and the wind comes only when there is no hole" Liu Yiyi nodded in agreement, and said softly: "Datang has sent troops for nearly a month, but there has been no good news for a long time, which in itself speaks for itself. ”

Hou Junji is not easy to deal with, with 30,000 iron horsemen Hou Junji is even more like a tiger's wings, before he comes up with a good way to deal with the 30,000 iron horses, Li Ji wants to repel Hou Junji, I'm afraid it is not easy. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, including 30,000 elite cavalry, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser without the kung fu of March and May.

As for the 30,000 Yili war horses, Liu Yiyi's mind turned, and it was time for Li Zhi's kid to learn some common sense about stationing horses, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to put Wang An, a horse master, in the Jin Palace?

"When Steward Liu Bing came back from the northwest, didn't he bring back a few thousand miles of horses from Yantian Ranch by the way?" Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Liu Yiyi said softly: "Leave two horses in the mansion and send the rest to the Jin Palace." ”

"Yes, young master."

"Also," Liu Yiyi nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the day of the scheduled lesson, you go below and give an order, so that people can prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone they need." ”

"Yes, young master." In response, seeing that their young master had no other instructions, Chen Ming stood up and bowed knowingly, and slowly exited the small hall.! ~！
