"Father-in-law, you are really discerning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThese days, the lowly brains are about to explode. Especially these gentry in Zhenjiang City, it is even more difficult to serve than their ancestors. Father-in-law, please also teach the lowly duty, save the lowly duty, and water and fire. ”

Since Wei Zhongxian said this, how could Li Yuanqing not climb up the pole?

To put it more bluntly, Li Yuanqing's merits have been established, and at this time, it is time to reward his merits.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's words were vulgar, his attitude had already been laid out, how could Wei Zhongxian not be useful when he heard it?

He laughed, "Yuanqing, you little monkey also has a headache." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, I can better understand your distress now." It's hard to do something practical. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled and nodded, "Not bad." There are many people in the world who share food and profit, but there are very few who can bear the responsibility. However, Yuanqing, the imperial court also has great difficulties now. The miscellaneous family can only guarantee you that this year's food and salary on Changsheng Island will be added to another 100,000 taels. The rest is up to you. ”

With the addition of 100,000 taels of food, the scale of Changsheng Island's salary is about to reach 300,000 taels, although for the general trend, this is just a drop in the bucket, but Lao Wei can have this attitude, but it also makes Li Yuanqing very moved.

Busy kowtowing respectfully and said: "The father-in-law's kindness to the lowly position, the lowly duty will be done to the end, and the liver and brain will be smeared to repay the father-in-law's kindness." ”

Wei Zhongxian laughed.

What he admires most about Li Yuanqing is that Li Yuanqing understands the rules, knows how to advance and retreat, and will not be open-mouthed, let alone pampered and arrogant, and make rude demands on others, making it difficult for others to do.

And at a critical time, Li Yuanqing can still go up and get things done.

If you don't need such a person, who will you use?

After greetings, Wei Zhongxian asked Li Yuanqing about the future situation in Liaodi.

Li Yuanqing's attitude was decent, and he still focused on prudence, and did not suggest that the Ming army take the initiative to launch a large-scale offensive against the Houjin army, but should focus on small-scale harassment and actual combat training.

This is also in line with Wei Zhongxian's intentions, and for a while, the guests and hosts were happy.

After chatting about business, it was almost dark, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Yuanqing, it's not early, Your Majesty has almost woken up from a nap." Let's go and meet Your Majesty. ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said respectfully: "Everything is according to my father-in-law's orders. ”

On the side, Grandpa An was simply speechless, "This, this is simply a one-stop service." ’

Except for his eldest brother Li Yuanqing, who else in the world can have this treatment?

…………

When Li Yuanqing and Wei Zhongxian came to the bedroom of the little emperor of the Apocalypse, it was just dark, about five o'clock, and snowflakes were scattered in the sky, shrouding the huge palace city in an ethereal confusion.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse was sitting on the soft couch at this time, looking at the confused snow in the sky in a daze, and only then did he react when Wei Zhongxian and Li Yuanqing saluted him.

Especially when he saw Li Yuanqing, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he laughed and said, "Big companion, when did Yuanqing come?" ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to Your Majesty." General Li had just arrived in the afternoon, and the slave was afraid of disturbing your nap, so she chatted with General Li about state affairs for a while in the imperial study. ”

The little emperor of the Apocalypse hurriedly smiled and said, "Yuanqing, you've worked hard all the way, are you tired?" By the way, have you eaten? ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Back to the emperor, not yet." ”

The little emperor of the apocalypse laughed: "It's just right." I didn't eat either. Then let's eat together. Someone's coming. Let the imperial study room stir-fry a few more dishes. Oh yes, and add more meat dishes. I want to accompany General Li to dinner. ”

"Yes." There was a little eunuch next to him who hurried to work.

After a few pleasantries, the three of them came to the hall, and the little emperor of the Apocalypse gave Li Yuanqing a seat, but Wei Zhongxian stood behind him to serve.

Li Yuanqing didn't know how to describe it for a while, although Wei Zhongxian was under one person and above ten thousand people, he was born at a disadvantage, and in front of the emperor, he was still a minion.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said: "Yuanqing, in this battle of Zhenjiang, you and Mao Wenlong fought beautifully." Although I have heard Mao Wenlong narrate what happened before, I still want to hear you say it again. Tell me about it. ”

The emperor spoke, how dare Li Yuanqing disobey? Busy smiling and recounting the experience of the Battle of Zhenjiang to the little emperor of the Apocalypse and Gonggong Wei.

It's just that, unlike the previous narrative of Gonggong Wei, some heavy story elements have been added to it.

Wei Zhongxian understood Li Yuanqing's thoughts, and smiled without saying a word.

Mao Wenlong's perspective is still a little different from Li Yuanqing's, especially the offensive and defensive battle outside the south gate of Zhenjiang, which makes the little emperor of the apocalypse even more enthusiastic.

Soon, the imperial meal was also served, and Li Yuanqing and the little emperor of the apocalypse chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Wei Zhongxian saw that the matter was under control, and found an excuse, so he left to rest first.

He is an old bone, and he is a little powerless to serve the little emperor of the Apocalypse at any time like he did when he was young.

After listening to the battle of Zhenjiang, the little emperor of the Apocalypse also asked the same question as Wei Zhongxian, "Yuanqing, what did you think at that time?" Why did you want to move the people of Zhenjiang away? ”

Facing the little emperor of the Apocalypse, it was naturally the same as facing Wei Zhongxian, Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and explained carefully: "Your Majesty, the scene at that time, the lowly position was also a last resort. In the battle, he found that the vanguard of Houjin, especially the vanguard when rushing into battle, was mostly our Han family's sons. After careful consideration, he also found the problem of this. The reason why the Houjin is getting stronger and stronger, while my Daming is getting weaker and weaker, is largely because the Houjin has been supplemented by the strength of our Han people. This gap is evident between the trade-offs and the other's strengths. ”

Li Yuanqing paused, leaving some time for the little emperor of the Apocalypse to think, and said: "Your Majesty, the location of Zhenjiang City is critical, and it can be described as the throat of Liaodong. With his humble position and Mao Shuai's ability at that time, he could keep it for a while, but it was difficult to keep it for a long time. Especially when the spring ploughing was approaching, after discussing with Mao Shuai, he made this painful decision. First of all, the people of Zhenjiang City were relocated, and Zhenjiang was turned into a dead city and an empty city, and after waiting for the gold to be replenished and weakened, I Daming would sweep them all and recapture Zhenjiang City. After all, the city can't run, and the land can't run. ”

After Li Yuanqing finished speaking, he hung his head respectfully, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Although he had been understood on Wei Zhongxian's side and reached a compromise with Wei Gonggong, on the side of the little emperor of the apocalypse, Li Yuanqing still did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and he had to make his words as clear as possible, so that the little emperor of the apocalypse could better understand the meaning.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse also fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "Yuanqing, thank you for your hard work." It is indeed the most appropriate way for you to deal with this matter. It's just that I don't know, when will we be able to recover Zhenjiang again? ”

Li Yuanqing didn't have the courage of Inspector Yuan, and directly said to the emperor, 'Five years of peace in Liao', thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuanqing said: "Your Majesty, Liao affairs have developed to the present, and Houjin has become bigger. If you want to see the winner in a short time, you don't dare to speak out of your humble position. Maybe ten years, maybe eight years. ”

Looking at the expectant eyes of the little emperor of the Apocalypse, in the end, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but make an assumption.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but smile, "Ten years and eight years, it's not too late." I can afford to wait. Yuanqing, I hope to see the day when you can help me retake Shenyang City. ”

Li Yuanqing was busy kneeling respectfully, "I will do my best to do my best, and share my worries for the emperor." ”

The Little Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed, "Come, Yuanqing, let's have another drink." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly gestured to him respectfully and drank all the wine in his cup.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Yuanqing, she, she's okay?" ”

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and only then reacted, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, she has always been taken care of as a housewife. If the emperor needs it, the humble position can bring her to the capital at any time. ”

The Little Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed deeply, but slowly shook his head, "Yuanqing, this matter is not necessary. Now, the broken things in the inner palace ...... Ay. Let's not talk about it. ”

Saying that, the little emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Li Yuanqing's eyes, and poured himself a glass of wine with some loneliness, "Yuanqing, you are the person I believe in the most." In the end, I'm sorry for her. So let me give her and give her to you. ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly knelt on one knee and kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty, how dare you be humble?" If the emperor feels embarrassed, he can build a temple for her on the island......"

The little emperor of the Apocalypse hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still nodded, and suddenly added: "Yuanqing, let her lead the practice." ”

The cold sweat behind Li Yuanqing has oozed out, damn it, at this time, the little emperor of the Apocalypse is still a thief......

However, thinking about the course of history, the little emperor of the Apocalypse did not have two years......

"Obedience."

The little emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, "Yuanqing, you can get up." Come, today, we must have a good drink. ”

…………

Li Yuanqing finally refused the request of the little emperor of the Apocalypse to stay in the palace, and rushed outside the palace gate despite the wind and snow.

At this time, it was already late at night, and it was already past the hour, about half past twelve.

The street has been covered with a thick layer of white, except for Niu Gensheng and his own soldiers, there is no other population outside the palace gate.

Seeing Li Yuanqing come out, Niu Gensheng hurriedly caught up and draped a fur coat on Li Yuanqing's body, "General." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Go to the Sanfu Inn." ”

"Yes."

Niu Gensheng didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly beckoned all the soldiers, surrounded Li Yuanqing in the middle, and rode his horse in the direction of Sanfu Inn.

Riding a horse and walking in the wind and snow, looking at the ethereal wind and snow, Li Yuanqing's mood was also a little trance for a while.

Compared with the last time he saw the little emperor of the Apocalypse, his temperament has changed a lot.

It's a feeling that can only be understood, but not spoken.

To put it simply, he has grown up a lot and matured a lot, but ~~, but he is more introverted, or rather, gloomy.

Li Yuanqing can't say well, this is happy or bad for Daming, but for him Li Yuanqing, this is not a very good thing.

Especially when I learned that the matter of the new queen has not yet been decided, and the inner palace is ethereal......

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the door of the Sanfu Inn.

Sanfu Inn was destroyed by fire last time, but with the support of Li Yuanqing, it was quickly rebuilt, but because of the fire, people thought it was bad luck here, and business was not very good.

Some soldiers had already arrived here in advance, cleaned up this side, and returned to the familiar Tianzihao courtyard, Yang Jiao~ Niang had been waiting here for a long time, "Yuanqing, why did you come back so late?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, but he was a little tired, "Jiao~ Mother, I'm so tired, I just want to sleep for a while." ”

Yang Jiao~ Mother hurriedly hugged Li Yuanqing like a child, and held Li Yuanqing's strong arm, "Yuanqing, let's go, let's go rest." Get a good night's sleep and everything will pass. ”
