Pei Shuying is over forty years old!

But ten years of cultivation made her still look young. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info years did not leave too many traces on her face, and she was dressed in white, but it made her reveal a trace of coldness and beauty...... At least in Li Yanqing's view, Pei Shuying seems to have changed little from ten years ago.

For Pei Shuying, Li Yanqing's heart is very complicated.

He has three wives and one concubine!

Duoduo and his childhood sweetheart, Wuzhi is more of a pamper, while Pei Cuiyun is out of respect. If he said that the most memorable thing for him, I am afraid that it is the female crown in front of him. After all, in terms of age, Pei Shuying and his actual age seem to be the most suitable.

Ten years ago, Pei Shuying was forced to practice in Fushan.

Ten years later, Pei Shiju was no longer able to form an obstacle, but when Li Yanqing saw Pei Shuying, he didn't know what to say.

In the floating mountain view, there are seven or eight female crowns.

Except for Mingyue, everyone else returned to their respective rooms very well.

Because they saw Su Dingfang standing outside the Taoist temple...... The dignified Shuzhou governor can only guard outside the Taoist temple, and the men in the Taoist temple are not comparable to idlers. Being rich and rich may not be appropriate, and he must be a great man.

After Mingyue served the tea, she quietly withdrew from the meditation room.

She could also see that the young man in the meditation room and her master seemed to be a little entangled......—————————————————————— Shuo Fang, heavy snow.

After Li Jing braved the heavy snow to inspect military affairs, he returned to the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion.

The Turks are starting to get a little restless again...... At this time, the Turks would be active frequently, repeatedly attacking the borders, harassing and plundering the borders. In this regard, Li Jing naturally made arrangements a long time ago. It's just that this border line is too long, and although it has the Great Wall defense line as a support, it is a bit passive after all. The Turks attacked frequently, and even if Li Jing controlled an army of 100,000, it was obviously impossible for him to do everything.

Every time he thought about this, Li Jing would feel very aggrieved.

Originally, at the beginning of the seventh year of Wude, Li Jing had already made a plan to send troops to Mobei and fight a decisive battle with Jieli Khan. Li Xuanba, the governor of Lingwu at that time, was also very much in favor of Li Jing's plan. Just when everything was ready and waiting for the approval of the imperial court, Yang Wengan's rebellion suddenly occurred, which made all Li Jing's plans fall through at once...... Especially after Li Xuanba was recalled to Chang'an, Li Jing immediately became the governor of Lingwu under the recommendation of Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, defending Lingzhou and resisting the Turks.

Officer, promoted!

But Li Jing didn't feel very happy...... The reason is very simple.

With Li Xuanba being recalled to Chang'an, all the efforts made by Li Jing before were in vain.

Perhaps out of the idea that the outside must first be at home, Li Yuan ordered Li Jing to stick to Lingzhou and not to start a war with the Turks without authorization.

In Li Yuan's words: Today, it is decided that the people are war-weary, and it is not appropriate to start a war lightly.

The Turkic army is strong, and it should be slowly planned. If you take the liberty of confronting it, it will inevitably make Guanzhong agitated again, so you should be cautious, be cautious...... Li Jing can understand Li Yuan's edict!

After all, the dispute between the princes involves the country's capital, and it should be treated with caution. Sun Wu once said: Soldiers, the country's major affairs! Li Yuan ventured into a war with the Turks when the court had not yet been pacified, and of course he felt that he had no bottom in his heart. But Li Jing was not reconciled, for the plan of this Turkic war, he could be said to have worked hard and exhausted. After years of hard work, it was scrapped like this?

But even if he was dissatisfied, Li Jing could only accept the order.

Without the support of the imperial court, Lingwu's soldiers and horses alone would naturally not be able to compete with the Turks.

However, in my heart, I felt a little indignant at Li Shimin's behavior...... At the same time, Li Jing felt a little envious in his heart.

Look at Du Ruhui in Liaodong and do great things.

Shocked the Khitan and coerced the ...... He even seized the three towns of Liaodong and stationed the army directly in Goguryeo, eyeing the tiger.

Du Ruhui doesn't have an army of 100,000 in his hands!

However, he did something that made Li Jing envious and jealous.

The Lingwu Governor's Mansion is indeed taken care of by the imperial court, and there is food and food, and there are people to ...... But correspondingly, there are also many restraints.

Du Ruhui has done a good job in Liaodong, and Li Yanqing is even more prosperous in Lingnan.

Even if Li Jing was originally to dilute Li Yanqing's influence in the Central Plains, he offered the eleventh strategy of Pingnan. But in fact, Li Jing's many calculations do not seem to have affected Li Yanqing too much, but on the contrary, he has become stronger and stronger with the passage of time.

Pacify Lingnan, seize the south of Caiyun, and make the southeastern countries submit one after another.

If you compare it, Li Yanqing's life in the wild land of Lingnan is even more enjoyable than that of Li Jing in Lingwu...... One is to be unfettered and open up territory.

One is full of calculations, just for the prince's dispute.

Inadvertently, Li Jing had some inexplicable thoughts in his heart.

It's just that he can hide his thoughts, and at the same time, although he admires Li Yanqing, when he thinks of his identity, that little bit of caution is disillusioned.

Although Li Yanqing is capable, he is not a prince after all!

Such a person, no matter how great his ability is, will definitely die a good death in the future.

After all, no emperor would allow the dominance of his courtiers. Even if this courtier is a clan, he is his own son and nephew.

This can be seen from Li Yuan's desire to summon Li Yanqing back to Chang'an.

On the one hand, Li Yuan is determined to support the crown prince Li Jiancheng; On the other hand, he did not have any scruples about Li Yanqing sitting big and recalled him to Chang'an to take care of him. After all, in Chang'an, even if Li Yanqing has great ability, it is difficult to make waves...... After taking off his armor, Li Jing sat in the study, ready to handle official business.

At this moment, a tooth soldier reported outside the door: "Dadu Governor, there is a person outside the mansion, saying that it is the brother of Dadu Governor, and he has come to pay a visit!" ”

Brother?

Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly got up, "Hurry up, please!" ”

But there is something strange in my heart: Didn't the eldest brother join King Zheng Chitose and go to Lingnan? How did you come here all of a sudden?

Vaguely, Li Jing guessed Li Duan's intention.

But on the other hand, he was puzzled: Does the eldest brother want to persuade me to join King Zheng?

But he couldn't convince me back then, so how are he going to convince me now? Could it be that King Zheng returned to Chang'an this time with ulterior motives?

The more Li Jing thought about it, the more he felt that there was an article in it.

While he was pondering, the tooth soldier led an old man to the door of the study.

Li Jing looked up, and the old man was his eldest brother, Li Duan!

"Brother, why are you here?"

Li Jing hurriedly welcomed Li Duan into the study, and after signaling the tooth soldiers to retreat, he personally served Li Duan a cup of tea.

Li Duan was dressed in a green shirt, and he was dusty.

After he took a sip of tea, he looked Li Jing up and down, and said for a long time: "Pharmacist, the purpose of my visit this time, I guess you have also guessed something...... Hehe, I won't go into details. Since you were a child, you have always been smarter than me, whether it is my uncle or others, they all say that your achievements in the future must be immeasurable. You have your own opinions, and you have your own ideas...... So, I'm not going to persuade you to anything, but I want to make a bet with you, I don't know if you dare to take it? ”

Compared with back then, Li Jing clearly noticed that Li Duan had more indescribable confidence in his words.

Just, bet?

Li Jing frowned, stared at Li Duan for a long time, and then asked in a deep voice, "Brother, what are you going to bet?" ”

"Let me ask you, what do you think of the situation between the DPRK and China?"

"The situation?"

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty has obviously made up your mind to support the crown prince...... The situation between the DPRK and China will surely calm down. ”

"In other words, will the crown prince gain power?"

"This ...... It should be! ”

Li Jing hesitated for a moment and nodded. Then, he looked at Li Duan suspiciously, "Does my brother think that there will be variables?" ”

"Variables...... Hehe, I'll make this first bet with you, and the prince will be in a difficult position! ”

"You mean ......"

Li Jing was stunned, and then the spirit spirit shuddered, "Does my brother think that King Qin still has a chance?" ”

"In my opinion, King Qin probably has no chance either."

"Forgive the little brother for being foolish, the prince is not powerful, the king of Qin is not powerful, can you say King Zheng?"

Li Jing couldn't help but smile, looked at Li Duan and asked.

"By the end of the year at the latest, we will see."

Li Duan said calmly: "Until then, I will stay in Lingzhou. If what I'm saying is right, then I'll ask you to do something to me, brother.

If I lose, I will not regret it. ”

"It's almost November now, hehe, my brother is willing to stay in Lingzhou, it's too late for me to be happy.

My uncle said before his death that he didn't want us to get involved in this royal matter. But I'm still willing to make this bet with my brother to see if we will see by the end of the year. ”

Li Duan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

That cold bearing made Li Jing even more curious...... He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was hidden in the throat of King Zheng and Li Yanqing. At the same time, he was also curious, what kind of request would Li Yanqing make?

That night, Li Jing set up a family banquet in the mansion to wash the dust for Li Duan.

Counting the time, the two brothers rarely drank together since their own business. When Li Jing decided to join Li Shimin, he and Li Duan wrote several times, but each time, the two brothers would have differences due to different political views.

After that, Li Duan attached himself to Li Yanqing and went to Lingnan with Li Yanqing.

The brothers never saw each other again, not even through letters. Now that we meet again, I am naturally very happy and happy.

Li Jing drank a little too much and fell asleep.

However, just as he was in a daze, he was awakened by a sharp knock at the door.

"Why do you disturb people's dreams?"

Li Jing couldn't help but be a little unhappy, got up in his clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

Outside the door, the tooth soldier held a letter in his hand and presented it to Li Jing with both hands, "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, there is a letter coming from Chang'an, and there is an urgent matter to report to the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Li Jing was stunned, and hurriedly took the letter, took it out and looked at the candlelight in the room.

After a while, his face couldn't help but become a little gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal the tooth soldier to retreat, and then turned around and came to Li Duan's door.

"Big brother, there's news from Chang'an!"

Li Duan had also fallen asleep, but after being woken up by Li Jing, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

Li Jing looked at Li Duan and said word by word: "Princess Pingyang died of illness before, since the eldest brother passed through Chang'an, he already knows about it?" ”

Li Duan rubbed his cheeks lightly and said to Li Jing: "Pharmacist, in King Zheng's words, the show has just begun.

Until then, all you have to do is hold still...... From now on, you and I must stay out of the way and look on the sidelines. ”
