Smelling a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, Yang Lian didn't understand why King Qi summoned him? Judging from the expression of the county lord of Huairou, King Qi must have known what happened last night, what would he think? Although the feud between Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, and Li Hongji, the duke of Dongping, is already known to the world, the stakes are very high, and it is difficult to determine what the king of Qi will do.

The county lord of Huairou looked at Yang Lian, held his cheeks in his hand, and asked hopefully, "Can you play that song from last night?" ”

Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, how did she know?

The county lord of Huairou Gege smiled and said triumphantly: "I can't imagine it, yesterday my father and I were also in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. ”

Yang Lian lost his voice and said, "King Qi is also there?" ”

"My father was there, and he saw everything that was happening. I didn't expect Brother Hongji to be like this. The county lord of Huairou said, raised his eyebrows, and said: "No wonder the emperor's uncle doesn't like him, it makes sense." ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly, thinking that it was no wonder that Li Hongji, as the eldest son of the emperor, was only a duke, so there was such a reason. Thinking about Li Jing, his literary talent is no less than Li Yu, but he is not the king of the dead country, and his wife is not as famous as Zhou Hou, so his reputation is worse.

An emperor who loves chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, in comparison, his personality should be relatively weak, with Li Jing's character, it is possible not to like Li Hongji. Seeing that Yang Lian fell into deep thought, the county lord of Huairou said, "Hey, what are you thinking about this wood?" ”

"I'm wondering, what would the Son of Heaven think if he knew about this?" Yang Lian said with a smile.

"What can you think? The emperor's uncle also went to a brothel, and at most he reprimanded two sentences. Lord Huairou said disdainfully.

Yang Lian rolled his eyes, thinking that it was really a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse would make a hole. Li Jing loves to go to brothels, and his sons are not far behind, and sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and the waves are more and more wave from generation to generation.

Seeing Yang Lian's expression, the lord of Huairou County smiled, although she didn't like her father to go to that kind of place, but in this world, how many men don't love women? My father has not yet made a princess, and he is already a very good man.

While the two were talking, they unconsciously arrived at the Qi Palace, and the county lord of Huairou took Yang Lian into the mansion, and naturally traveled unhindered along the way.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, was sitting on the soft couch, drinking tea, thinking about things, and when he saw Yang Lian coming in, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and had another evaluation of Yang Lian, this is a man who can surprise him, saying that he is a martial artist, but he is proficient in music and rhythm, is he really a person who is both civil and military, and is it given to him by God?

"Shenwu Army General Yu Hou Yang Lian has seen King Qi!" Yang Lian arched his hand and gave a salute.

"Yang Lian, don't be polite, come and sit here." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, waved his hand and smiled, thinking to himself, how could this Yang Lian be so pedantic?

"Thank you, King Qi." Yang Lian replied, stepped aside, took off his boots, and sat cross-legged.

"These days, are you okay in the Shenwu Army? Has anyone ever bullied you? "Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, is very concerned.

The county lord of Huairou was on the side and interjected: "Who dares to bully him?" I don't think it's good if he doesn't bully people. ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly, thinking that you know me.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, frowned and said, "Okay, I have something to say to Yang Lian, you retreat first." ”

Although the county lord of Huairou was innocent, he also knew the severity, so he immediately gave a salute and said, "Father, my daughter retires." ”

The county lord of Huairou had just retired, and several eunuchs brought tea and snacks and put them on the desk.

"Yang Lian, you eat something, things will be said slowly." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said.

Yang Lian nodded, not polite, and drank the tea, "Although the Shenwu Army is the elite of the forbidden army, in my opinion, a soldier who has not been on the battlefield is not a good soldier. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has recuperated, although the national strength has been restored, but today there is a big chaos, and the relationship between the Northern Jin State and the Khitans is tense, and a big war may occur at any time. In the south, Wu Yueguo is the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and is interfering in the Tang Dynasty's extermination of Fujian. ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, let out an "oh", looked at Yang Lian seriously, and said, "Although there are external worries, it has nothing to do with Datang for the time being. As for the internal troubles you are talking about, what is going on? ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly and said, "King Qi doesn't understand?" It's a partisan dispute. ”

"Party strife?" Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, repeated.

"It's party fighting. King Qi, did you go to Wuyue to conquer Wu Yue, and did you have a result? Yang Lian asked.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, shook his head and said: "Now the leaders of Song Qiqiu, Feng Yansi and others think that Wu Yueguo is bold and wants to send troops to teach them a lesson, and Lin Zaixi, Xu Xuan, Sun Sheng and others are all trying their best to prevent the dispatch of troops, saying that the world has been in turmoil for a long time, and you can't use swords and soldiers. ”

"What does King Qi think?" Yang Lian asked.

Li Jingsui said: "Although it is not good to use swords and soldiers in vain, but the geography where Datang is located is full of enemies, so you can't wait to be killed." ”

Yang Lian glanced at Li Jingsui with some incredulity, although this person is weak, but at least he is not pedantic and understands reason. At the moment, he said: "King Qi's words are very reasonable. Datang wanted to send troops, which was originally right, but unfortunately it was in the wrong direction. ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said: "What's wrong? ”

"First, Fujian is mountainous and the land is barren, and the Tang Dynasty occupies this place, except for the consideration of the strategic encirclement of Wu and Yue, it will not get much benefit at all. Second, in order to fight against the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yueguo has always reconciled with the Central Plains Dynasty, and even the Chu State and the Nanping Kingdom have also been connected. Datang is actually very dangerous. Yang Lian analyzed.

Li Jingsui deeply understood these two points, and couldn't help nodding in agreement.

Yang Lian said: "Fujian fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue is bound to react, although the relationship between the Jin State and the Khitan is tense now, and the troops cannot be drawn to support Wu Yue, but Wu Yue Guo can lobby Chu, Han, and Nanping to attack the Tang Dynasty." Even though Datang is a strong national force, if there is a war in the frontier, it will also be a great drain on the national strength. ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, couldn't help nodding, he valued Yang Lian a little more, these analyses are very reasonable. In fact, the imperial court also argued, but no one came up with a better way, and asked at the moment: "Yang Lian, do you have any good suggestions." ”

"If there are still famous generals such as Li Shenfu, An Renyi, and Zhou Ben in the Tang Dynasty, it may not be difficult to pacify Fujian, but in fact, because the war in Fujian has not been resolved for a long time, the Tang Dynasty has already paid the corresponding price, and even, let Wu Yueguo get the truth, dragging the Tang Dynasty into the quagmire of the war and unable to extricate itself. At this time, Fujian is like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon it, and the food is tasteless. ”

"King Qi, Yang Lian is light-hearted, and there can only be one opinion, that is, it is extremely necessary to withdraw from the war in Fujian and actively train troops. When the war between the Khitan and the Jin State rises and the dust settles, a general can recover the Central Plains and dominate the world. ”

Yang Lian's words made Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, a little unexpected, in fact, in order to suppress Dongping Gong, Li Jingsui had the intention of going against him. Since Sun Sheng and Han Xizai, who had a good relationship with Li Hongji, advocated peace, then the king of Qi must fight the main battle and try his best to promote this matter.

Li Jingsui felt that although Fujian resisted stubbornly, it was already the end of the crossbow, and as long as he sent a general and led 50,000 or 60,000 troops, he could recover Fujian and strangle this thug. However, Yang Lian did not take the main battle, which made him slightly disappointed.

How could Yang Lian not understand the thoughts of Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, but the best opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to recover the Central Plains was for the Khitans to go south and destroy the Later Jin. If we wait until the Later Han Dynasty is established, when Guo Wei takes power, the situation will be very different. Although Yang Lian came for a purpose, he didn't want the foreign enemy to be strong and add difficulties to the future.

However, Li Jingsui's expression had already indicated that he was very dissatisfied, Yang Lian sighed in his heart, and said: "King Qi, if you really want to fight the main battle, I suggest that King Qi does not have to participate in this matter, but let others see him." ”

"Hmm!" Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, nodded silently, but did not listen to his heart.

Yang Lian didn't say much, picked up a piece of dim sum, and ate it attentively, the advice that should be given has been given, and it is the matter of King Qi whether to listen or not.

After a short silence between the two, they chatted for a while, and Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said that although Yang Lian and Dongping Gong had a conflict in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, was willing to maneuver from it, although Yang Lian's answer disappointed him, but Yang Lian's analysis still had some truth, and Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, still hoped that Yang Lian would be able to serve him in the future.

Seeing that the time was not early, Yang Lian got up and said goodbye. Li Jingsui sent someone to send him back, but Yang Lian refused. Walking out of the Qi Palace, Yang Lian let out a long sigh, no wonder Li Jingsui in history was killed by Li Hongji, this person is not decisive enough. However, there are only such people, who are easier to control, and if it is Li Hongji's kind, there is no need to think about it at all.

Back at the inn, it was already dark, Xiao Erhei was busy in the inn, after surveying and surveying, the carpenter was ready, and the construction would start tomorrow. Yang Lian inspected it, was very satisfied with Xiao Erhei's efficiency, and went to rest after praising it.

In the next few days, Yang Lian was still busy, leading troops to train every day, coming back to inspect the decoration of inns and wine shops, busy and fulfilling, so Li Hongji didn't come to look for trouble, which made Yang Lian a little strange. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days, just as the renovation of the inn and wine shop was about to end, Yang Lian also got the news, and after several arguments in the imperial court, the matter finally came to an end.

With the support of Prime Minister Feng Yansi, Founding Father Song Qiqiu and others, Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, finally decided to order Feng Yanlu, Wang Chongwen, and Wei Cen to rush to Fuzhou to support Chen Jue, and be sure to take Fuzhou to form a situation of entrapment against Wu Yueguo. Yang Lian got the news and sighed slightly, the wings of his butterfly were still very thin, not enough to affect others.

However, fortunately in misfortune, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, still listened to Yang Lian's advice, and while he asked people to go to the main battle, he secretly dissuaded Li Jing, saying that he would withdraw from Fujian in time and accumulate strength, so as to wait for the Central Plains incident, and then wave his army north to restore the Central Plains. Although Li Jing still decided to send troops in the end, Yang Lian's goal was half achieved. As long as Li Jing still maintains a good impression of Li Jingsui, and then allows Li Jingsui to ascend to the position of the emperor's younger brother, Yang Lian will have a few more chances of winning.
