Li Xian's face changed slightly, he picked up the documents on the table again and read them carefully, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he spoke.

"Sir, don't you mean that the British Duke is courting us?"

Previously, Li Xian was still immersed in the shock that Li Ji was going to go out in person, and he didn't notice this, but now after being reminded by the man in Tsing Yi, he suddenly saw that the two lieutenants designated by Li Ji had a great mystery.

The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head slightly and continued to speak.

"On the main hall that day, General Pei once estimated that this time due to the civil strife in Goguryeo, my Tang Dynasty has pressed the border with heavy troops, which can be described as the right time, place and people, and it should be said that there is a seventy percent certainty that we can win.

What's more, this time the British Duke himself went out, it must be nine out of ten, so such an Eastern Crusade has become a real fat, no matter who goes with the army, this military merit will not be able to run! ”

This is true, although Li Ji has been dormant in Beijing for many years, no one has ever dared to question his ability to lead the army to fight, you must know that his name as the first person in the military is not called in vain, but countless times of strategizing and fighting on the battlefield.

What's more, this time not only Li Ji went out to fight, but also Liu Renliang and Xue Rengui accompanied him, such a strong lineup, if even a Goguryeo that has already been in civil strife can't be attacked, wouldn't it be a joke!

"Yes, you don't have to worry about this crusade, it's just that the British Duke asked Xue Rengui to accompany him, why did he even point out Liu Fuchu to go?

And this Eastern Crusade is a piece of fat, everyone can see this, the British Duke has been focusing on cultivating Pei Xingjian, why didn't he accompany him this time? This is something that the king does not understand. ”

Li Xian calmed down at the moment, but he frowned slightly and said.

You must know that Pei Xingjian is Li Ji's most optimistic person, but this time Li Ji is going to go on the expedition, it is really strange that he will accompany her.

"Lord Wang, according to a certain family, this matter is not an incomprehensible matter!"

Unexpectedly, the man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and said indifferently.

"That's right, General Pei is extremely favored by the British Princess, but the prince knows that there is a saying in this world that cooking oil with fire, General Pei has just returned from a great victory in the western expedition last year, and there is no need to say much about military merits, and it is probably not a good thing to let General Pei continue to go on the expedition at this moment!"

Li Xian groaned slightly, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

It's just that I don't know where this uneasiness comes from, so I look a little irritable for a while.

"But sir, Liu Fuchu is now the strongest card in the king's hand, if even he goes out of Beijing with him, I'm afraid the situation of this king will be even more sad!

What's more, now that Liu Fujian and Pei Xingjian are competing, but the British Duke wants to give him a military feat, wouldn't it weaken Pei Xingjian's momentum? ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Xian's heart was still not very relieved, and he said with a trace of doubt.

After a pause, Li Xian said with some hesitation.

"Sir, could the British Duke deliberately let Liu Fu shoot out of Beijing this time?"

And at this moment, the man in Tsing Yi was also silent.

His brows furrowed slightly, and there was some hesitation between his eyes, but after a moment, the man in Tsing Yi slowly spoke.

"The prince's concern is indeed reasonable, this is indeed a little strange, but the prince must understand that now the British Duke is still here, but General Pei's momentum is getting higher and higher day by day, and it is not incomprehensible that the British Duke wants to slightly raise Liu Fu's shot."

The man in Tsing Yi spoke extremely slowly, apparently even he wasn't very sure this time.

It's just that after listening to his words, Li Xian's face couldn't help but change, isn't this move exactly the same as Li Zhi's treatment of himself.

Thinking that he was just a tool carried out by Li Zhi to contain the prince, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"As for the matter of Liu Servant's shooting, a certain family thinks that the prince doesn't have to worry, Liu Servant is in the position of the right servant of Shangshu Province, and he is in a high position, even if His Majesty wants to move Liu Servant, it is not a simple matter, not to mention that the power of the British Duke is mainly in the army, not in the court.

When the time comes, the army will return victorious, and Liu Fu will return with military exploits, I am afraid that he will be able to go further in the military! ”

The man in Tsing Yi didn't notice Li Xian's expression, and continued with a frown.

It's just that there is a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"However, once Liu Fushu leaves, the matter in Beijing is indeed a little troublesome, but the prince should not forget that the current prince is standing behind His Majesty, otherwise, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not endure until today.

And as long as this point remains unchanged, the prince will only suffer a few grievances at most, and when Liu Fu shoots back to Beijing, it will be the time for us to counterattack! ”

The man in Tsing Yi said this without hesitation, and he seemed extremely confident.

It also made Li Xian slowly let go of the doubts in his heart, his face changed for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

…………

Zichen Palace.

At the same time that Li Xian and the man in Tsing Yi met, Li Zhi also received the news, and even the news he received was more detailed and specific.

Because on his desk, there were two papers, one of which had just been handed over from the government hall, from the British government.

The other was a private letter, also from the British government, but Li Ji personally handed it over to Wu Liangfu to bring into the palace, and it was precisely because of this letter that Li Zhi sat in this Zichen Hall in a daze, and did not move for nearly a quarter of an hour.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

After a while, Empress Wu hurried out of the apse, and when she saw Li Zhi's lost soul at a glance, her heart suddenly sank, and she spoke urgently.

You must know that when she left at noon today, Li Zhi was still proud of Li Hong's ingenuity, why didn't she go over to take care of Princess Taiping for a while, and when she came back, it became like this.

Seeing that Li Zhi did not answer, Empress Wu turned to Wu Liangfu and asked.

"What's going on?"

"Back to Niangniang, when the old slave went to the political hall to get the fold, he met the domestic slave of the British prince and called the old slave.

Later, the British bus sent a private letter to the old slave, telling him to be sure to hand it over to His Majesty in person, and after His Majesty read it, it was like this, and he never touched it again! The old slave hurriedly went to invite the mother over! ”

Wu Liangfu also didn't dare to slack off, standing behind Empress Wu and replied respectfully.

After listening, Empress Wu frowned slightly, walked quickly to Li Zhi's side, reached out and picked up the envelope on the table with "Your Majesty personally opened", and opened the letter without hesitation.

It's just that even Empress Wu, after reading this letter, looked slightly stunned, and her face was complicated for a while.

After a while, Empress Wu put down the letter in her hand, sighed softly, and slowly sat down beside Li Zhi, but did not speak. (To be continued.) )
