No wonder, Li Ji suddenly understood the reason why Liu Renliang did this.

He already knew that Pei Yan was the current household servant, and like Pei Xingjian, he was born in the Pei family in Hedong.

But the strange thing is that although they are from the same family, the two have never been at odds, especially after Pei Xingjian pacified Baekje last year, Pei Yan often stumbled him in secret.

If this matter was done by Pei Yan, it would not be unusual.

After figuring out this section, Li Ji also believed that Li Hong did not lie to him, but he couldn't help but be a little unhappy and sneered.

"Your Highness is planning to use this to make a deal with the old minister?"

Li Ji's speculation is not unreasonable, although Li Zhi issued a holy decree, but the affairs of the government are in charge of the political affairs hall, and he has not paid much attention to the affairs of the court over the years, although his prestige in the army is not low, but the influence on the political affairs hall is really limited.

If Liu Renliang insists on this, he is afraid that there is not much he can do, and Li Hong not only has his teacher Dai Zhide in the political affairs hall, it is said that Hao Chujun, the servant of the door, also has a good personal relationship with Li Hong, if the two prime ministers oppose this matter together, I am afraid that they can really overturn Liu Renliang's small abacus.

However, Li Ji didn't like this feeling of being coerced, not to mention that the prince of a country actually traded with national affairs, which couldn't help but make Li Ji a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, when Li Hong heard Li Ji's words, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly.

"Master Li doesn't have to worry, he has already received the news before Gu Lai, Dai Shi and Hao Xianggong strongly oppose this matter, and in the end, Xu Xiang decided that the grain and grass for the army to go out will be supplied as usual."

Li Hong has been smiling since he came to the British Mansion, even if he is displeased, he only stops at a flat tone.

It was the first time that he had thrown his face like this, not to mention that Li Ji couldn't hear the undisguised anger in Li Hong's words.

Did you guess wrong? Li Ji said suspiciously.

"Master Li rest assured, no matter when, Lone will not joke about national affairs, let alone use it to make transactions with anyone!"

Li Hong's voice was loud.

However, Li Ji was still a little unconvinced, and asked lightly.

"Then why did Your Highness mention this matter in front of the old minister?"

I have to say that Li Ji's question is not unreasonable, since you don't want to trade with me about this matter, why do you have to stand up in front of me.

Li Hong got up slowly, bowed to Li Ji, and said.

"Master Li is a little restless, Lone is here because of the Six Rates of the East Palace, I hope that Master Li can recommend a few capable generals to Lone, but since Lone came to the British Mansion, Master Li has been avoiding this matter, Lone knows that Master Li is old and does not want to go to the court again!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he was pointed out to his face, even if it was Li Ji's cheekiness.

However, Li Hong ignored Li Ji's slight embarrassment, straightened up and continued.

"Li Shi is a veteran of the three dynasties, since the time of Emperor Gaozu has made immortal contributions to my Tang Dynasty, for the Tang Dynasty, should be seen more clearly than anyone else, now my Tang Dynasty seems to be peaceful and prosperous, but there is Tubo in the south, there are repeated rebellions in the Turks, there are Goguryeo in the east, and natural disasters in recent years, my people in the Tang Dynasty really have the life described in the newspaper is so good?"

Li Hong was a little excited, his voice became no longer calm, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued.

"The tranquility of the frontier is the foundation of the tranquility of my Datang, but can't Li Shi see the current situation? In the entire political hall, only Liu Xiang was born as a military general, and he still worked in power and strategy, and did not think about the safety of the border, and although there were several generals such as Pei Xingjian among the military ministers, Li Shiyi was still the first person in the army at his age......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cautious!"

Although he had to admit that what Li Hong said was the truth, seeing that Li Hong was getting more and more excited and dared to say anything, Li Ji hurriedly interrupted him.

Even if Liu Renliang is as unbearable as Li Hong said, he is also the prime minister's respect, but such words cannot come out of the mouth of Li Hong, the prince, not to mention that although Li Ji is the first person in the military at the moment, this is a tacit matter, and it is taboo to say it.

Li Hong calmed down, and also realized that there was something wrong with his words, but since he had already said this, he simply said it happily!

After so many years of business with Li Ji, he will not even leak the content of his secret conversations.

Li Hong slowed down, and his tone returned to calm.

"The situation of the military is now in short supply, a cadre of generals is either old, or has passed away, there is no particularly outstanding among the young generals, but it is also a fact, so that even the grain and grass for the army to go out have people dare to make up their minds, today I mention the matter of General Pei, I just want to tell Li Shi......"

Speaking of the key point, Li Hong suddenly stopped, as if he was thinking about the wording, and said with difficulty word by word for a long time.

"The military, it's been silent for too long! Even if it's a sharp sword, it needs to be sharpened so that it won't rust! ”

After speaking, Li Hong sat down slowly and looked at Li Ji quietly.

Li Ji seems to have aged a little in an instant, Li Hong is right, now that he is alive, no one dares to do anything to the military, but if one day, he is like those old guys, and he goes to see the first emperor, then there is really no one in the military who can afford to carry the banner.

At that time, no one in the military will be able to stand up, and most of the political affairs hall will be civil servants, and the decline of the military will already be predictable.

It's not that he didn't know about these situations before, but Li Ji has always been reluctant to think about it, he is old and doesn't want to toss anymore, he is afraid that he will lose his reputation in the last few years, and he will not even have a stable old age.

But if you really get to that point, do you really have the face to meet the group of old brothers underground?

If the border fires rise again, but no one is available, how can I meet the former emperor who entrusted the situation to him?

When did he become so timid, remembering that when he was a teenager, a tasseled spear crisscrossed the battlefield, and no one was invincible, Li Ji's cloudy old eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light.

"It seems that it's time for Lao Chen's old bones to move, I didn't expect that tigers don't eat people, but someone dares to come and pull out teeth!"

Waiting for your words, Li Hong felt a burst of joy in his heart, he had worked hard to prepare for so long and poured so many dry goods, just to let Li Ji start supporting the military again.

Because as long as Li Ji reappears in the court, it will be a shot in the arm, which can deter countless Xiaoxiao, after all, several times in the entire court, there is no one with older qualifications and higher prestige than Li Ji, even Xu Jingzong is a junior in front of Li Ji.

As long as Li Ji is determined to support the military, no one will be able to stop the matter of the six rates of the East Palace, in a sense, the matter of the six rates of the East Palace is related to the face of the military, if the most elite forbidden army is like this, then the face of the military will be completely lost.

What's more, Li Hong also sold such a big face to Li Ji, although Li Hong said that he would not trade with Li Ji about Pei Xingjian, but Li Ji had to admit his love, and the sixth rate of the East Palace was to give Li Ji the opportunity to repay this love, otherwise it would be even more unclear in the future.

Moreover, you can also make some trouble for that old guy Liu Renliang by the way, why not.

Li Ji is a resolute and resolute character, and since he has already decided, he will not drag his feet at all.

"Jingye still has the title of a thousand cows, tomorrow the old minister will let Jingye report to the East Palace, and immediately start practicing, the old minister wants to see, who else dares to do anything!"

The boss's momentum is really not covered, but just this sentence sold his grandson, okay?

Li Jingye was working hard behind his grandfather's back to be a good little transparent, and suddenly heard his name and was stunned for a while, oh my God, this is ready to end his life of recruiting cats and dogs, and the Qinglou Chu Pavilion? Li Jingye wailed in his heart, feeling that Li Hong was really his disaster star!

As for the objections......

Li Jingye hadn't forgotten the few family methods that were interrupted on the martial arts field, so he had to accept his fate with a bitter face.

"But the generals ......"

Li Ji didn't notice the abnormality of his grandson, and after a pause, a playful smile suddenly appeared on his old face, which made Li Hong chill for a while, as if he was this smile when he was pitted by Jiuge yesterday.

"The old minister hasn't gone out for a long time, and he is not very familiar with today's generals, and His Royal Highness is afraid that he will have to go to Shou Covenant."

Li Hong had a capital "rely on" in his heart, and he was played again!

The work in front of me was in vain, so I got a young master who can only recruit cats and dogs, ride horses and wrestle? (Li Jingye said that he was innocent, and he didn't want to go.) ）

You were so excited earlier, and it was a declaration, and what, just make a show for me, and in the end I still have to find someone myself?

However, who called Li Ji is Li Hong's teacher, and Li Hong begged others, so he could only swallow this bitter fruit silently with tears on his face.

In fact, the purpose of coming to the British Mansion this time has also been achieved, since Li Ji promised to send his grandson to the East Palace, he has already expressed his attitude, and the military fully supports this matter!

After all, Li Ji's identity is special, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward in person, not to mention that since he has Li Ji's words, presumably Pei Xingjian will not be too embarrassed by Li Hong.

Well, in general, Li Hong felt that this trip to the British government was quite cost-effective.

It was getting late, and since the goal had been achieved, Li Hong would not stay longer and bid farewell to Li Ji.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows at Li Jingye, which made Li Jingye grit his teeth for a while.
