On the night of mid-August, I could already feel the coolness in Linqing, but in this exquisite garden, the two people in this pavilion did not feel the coolness at all, and even felt a little hot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ye Lao, what do you think about taking Xuzhou? Among them, Bai Hongru, no, how much sincerity should the young master have? ”

Gongzi Tianqing's eyes shimmered and looked at Ye Tiannan, Ye Tiannan pondered for a moment and said: "Sincerity, whether it is Bai Hongru or the young master, it is ten out of ten sincerity, but this sincerity is not sincerity but a death knell!" ”

Gongzi Tianqing was slightly startled and said, "Old Ye, how can you say this?" ”

Ye Tiannan snorted lightly and said: "Bai Hongru is worthy of being praised for having the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, if he changes people, he must be persuaded by his three-inch incorruptible tongue, but he meets the old man, the old man not only knows Bai Hongru very well, but also knows his master Luo Qing very well, and even knows his master, the young master, and the old man!" ”

"There is a saying that heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, and saints are unkind and people are dogs! This saint is not another saint, but a ruler in general, such as an emperor, such as a hero who aspires to win the world! The young master is a hero, although Bai Hongru and his master Luo Qing, the god operator, are not heroes, but they are also ruthless people with a heart compared to Bai Qi, they are all people who take the people as dogs, they are all unscrupulous people who want to achieve their goals, and to what extent do they use unscrupulous means, to the point that as long as they achieve their goals, even if 100,000 people die, they will not blink. ”

"Such a person says that it is good for you, and it is also good for hiding poison! Think about what Bai Hongru said, take a cursory look, under the condition that Xuzhou is defeated, and Liu Zheng blocks the imperial army in the north, it is possible to go south along the canal without scruples to take the land of Eastern Wu, and the restoration of the country is just around the corner! ”

"But if you think about it, is that what happened? Not at all! Let's not talk about whether we can conquer the land of Soochow, let's talk about what will be the reaction of all parties after taking Xuzhou, and what kind of benefits and losses will all parties have! ”

"Let's talk about Liu Zheng first, if we take Xuzhou, it will completely block Liu Zheng's way south, so do you think Liu Zheng will be indifferent? Apparently not! Just like Bai Hongru said, Liu Zheng is a real hero, he can't watch us cut off his way, and we don't need a reason to attack us, because he is now the emperor's own general Zhengyuan, he wants to go south to exterminate Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, we stood up against the imperial court at this time, and it happened to be in his way south, to suppress us can be said to be justified! Liu Zheng's soldiers are not soldiers rotten to the root of the imperial court, if they really come, we will only be exterminated! ”

"Let's talk about the gains and losses, if we take Xuzhou, not far south of Xuzhou is the central capital Fengyang, where the imperial tomb is located, do you say that the Wanli Emperor will watch us threaten the imperial tomb? As long as he still wants to be this emperor, he won't let it go! ”

"Another point, why would Emperor Wanli put up with Liu Zheng's tossing in Shandong, because in the eyes of the emperor, Shandong has been a poor place since ancient times, and no matter how much you toss, you can't toss any tricks! To fight the world, you must not only have soldiers, but also silver to support, Shandong is too poor, how many soldiers and horses can it support? ”

"But Xuzhou is different, not only blocking the north-south traffic, threatening the imperial tomb in the capital, but also down the canal to take the richest Yangzhou, Susong, Yuhang and other places in the imperial court, once these places are occupied by us, then we have a huge capital to compete with the emperor for the world!"

"This is something that the emperor can't sit idly by, and he must first settle down inside, so even if he gives up face, the army of the imperial court will have to withdraw from North Korea, and when the army goes south, the first unlucky person is naturally Liu Zheng, and when the imperial court destroys Liu Zheng, it will be us!"

"In this way, we and Liu Zheng have become the two lines of defense between the young master and the imperial court in Banzhou, whether we can resist the pace of the imperial court or not, only the young master will benefit!"

Gongzi Tianqing Demon Ye's face was covered with haze, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Then in that case, why did Ye Lao still agree to Bai Hongru?" Don't forget what we're here for! ”

Ye Tiannan sighed softly and said, "Compared to Xuzhou, that incident is nothing at all!" And ......"

"And what?"

"And if we want to compete in the Central Plains, we have to be among them, and it is impossible to go to the end with our strength, we can only choose to rely on one side, and wait until we have the ability to participate in the competition!"

"And depending on others is to vote for a name, and this Xuzhou is a vote!"

After hearing this, the haze on Gongzi Tianqing's face became even worse, and he wrinkled his brows and said, "What does Ye Lao mean to use Xuzhou's name to cooperate with the young master?" ”

Ye Tiannan shook his head and said, "It's not to cooperate with the young master, but to cooperate with Liu Zheng!" ”

Gongzi Tianqing's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Tiannan in surprise: "Cooperate with Liu Zheng?" ”

"Yes!" Ye Tiannan nodded and said: "Cooperate with Liu Zheng, compared to the young master, Liu Zheng is the real hero, and he is also the person who can really cooperate with the son!" ”

"Yes!" Gongzi Tianqing asked with a puzzled face: "But I remember not long ago, just two months ago, Ye Lao, you said that this Liu Zheng can't grow, why is Ye Lao ...... in such a short time?"

Ye Tiannan sighed softly and said, "Although you are extremely smart, your vision is not as good as the eldest prince after all, but unfortunately the eldest prince is ......."

Although Ye Tiannan said that he was inferior to others, Gongzi Tianqing did not have an angry expression on his face, only a trace of sadness and sighing.

"Childe, the old man said that this Liu Zheng can't grow, but judging from the news from Qingzhou in the past two months, the old man knows that he also has a time when he looks away, just as the old man said just now, this Liu Zheng is a real hero, a hero who has the hearts of the people, the army, and the ministers, although he is a hero, but he also has weaknesses, this person's weakness is that he was born in the rivers and lakes and is reckless, and he attaches too much importance to a righteous word!"

"Childe must remember that there is no word righteousness between countries and between kings, there are only interests!"

"If I dedicate Xuzhou as a vote to Liu Zheng to take a place to live, as long as Liu Zheng accepts it, he will definitely try his best to protect us! In this way, we have a place to develop with peace of mind! In addition, it is precisely because Liu Zheng is weaker than the young master that we have the opportunity to be on an equal footing with him and even have him in the future! ”

Gongzi Tianqing nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "What if he doesn't accept it?" ”

"If we don't accept it, we have nothing to lose, we have won a city for nothing, hundreds of thousands of silver taels for nothing, and 200,000 stone grain and grass for nothing, if you want to defend it, you can refuse to defend the city, and if you want to retreat, you can take the silver grain and retreat to other parties, hide your name, and wait for the world to be in chaos and then reappear in the rivers and lakes!" After saying this, Ye Tiannan picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

Gongzi Tianqing fell into thinking all of a sudden, and for a while this small world was completely quiet, and a few crickets in the grass not far away also cried, as if they couldn't bear to break the silence.

……

Mid-autumn, Xiliang Women's Country, Garden.

Liu Zheng, Jiang Mingda and Li Run'er sat in the pavilion, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon, and his guards, Liu Kou and Pei Qiu were also brought by him, but in the garden next to them, and there was also a group of maids from the Xiliang Women's Kingdom staying with them.

In this way, it is because Liu Zheng feels that he has found happiness, not only to enjoy himself, but also to let the brothers have a home, so he arranged such a blind date conference that is not a blind date conference.

Listening to the sound of laughter and laughter from time to time in the garden next door, Liu Zheng felt happy to listen, just as he was complaining in his heart that these usually stuffy gourd-like guys also had a clever mouth, Li Run'er suddenly spoke.

"General Liu, Run'er heard that you can compose lyrics, and now that it is so beautiful, why don't you make a poem by the general!"

Liu Zheng scratched his head and said, "When will I do any poetry?" I'm just a big guy! ”

Li Run'er covered her mouth and smiled: "The first time you see wine in Qingzhou, it is quite popular in the Jiangnan area, if you only see it for the first time in this life, isn't it the general's doing?" ”

"Ahh Liu Zheng touched his nose in embarrassment and said: "What, I really didn't do it, I heard a Taoist priest named Nalan Xingde chant when he was drinking, and I just thought it was very good, so I remembered it." ”

Li Run'er didn't believe it, and said unrelentingly: "The general doesn't want to bully the little woman and don't know the truth without leaving the house, but my old shopkeeper told me that he heard Steward Liu say that you did it!" ”

Liu Zheng was embarrassed at this moment, but he didn't expect Liu Youfu to sell him, scratched his nose and said: "I really didn't do it, it was really done by the Taoist priest named Nalan Xingde, I just felt good when I heard it, so I remembered it!" If I really know what poetry and songs, and what kind of rebellion, I just go to the Jinshi entrance examination! ”

Li Run'er didn't believe it, and wanted to say something, but Liu Zheng diverted the topic.

"Oh, I said daughter-in-law, you don't want to call me Xianggong, it's nothing, just call me by my name, but my uncle is an elder, you don't call your uncle, but you are a General Jiang, this shouldn't be!"

"You ......" Li Run'er's delicate little face turned red in an instant, and she was too shy to look at people, so she buried her face deep in her chest.

Jiang Mingda laughed and said: "Zheng'er, don't do that as a disciple, although you and Miss Run'er are in love, but after all, there is no matchmaker's appointment, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds, but when you are an uncle, you can't watch that you have a lover and can't end up married, so after a while, my uncle will go to Suzhou, find the Li family, and settle the marriage!" ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly got up and said, "Zheng'er thanked my uncle first!" ”

Li Run'er was even more ashamed to see people when she heard Jiang Mingda's words, no matter what, she was just a girl.

Jiang Mingda also knew this, so he diverted the topic and said: "Zheng'er, since Miss Run'er wants to listen to your lyrics, you can make a poem, now the full moon is good, the beautiful scenery of the good day, and a poem to help the fun, which is also the meaning of the title!" ”

Liu Zhengxin said that I make wool, and I plagiarize about it, but does Nalan Xingde make poems for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Even if there were, he didn't remember, after all, he wasn't a man of culture!
