British Mansion.

Seeing that Li Ji and Li Hongyi, an old man and a young man, had entered the topic so quickly, Pei Xingjian still felt a little stunned.

Especially when he looked at Li Ji, his eyes were a little strange, when did he, the teacher, become so unbreathable......

However, Li Ji himself obviously didn't think so, seeing Li Hong so good, Li Ji's face was a little more satisfied, but his tone suddenly became a little unpredictable.

"Hehe, the old man is old! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally much clearer than the old man, but although the old man has been recuperating in the mansion in the past few days, he seems to have heard that the Dai servant of Shangshu Province has recommended the commander of the Eastern Expedition to keep the covenant, I don't know if His Royal Highness knows about it? ”

This is knowingly asking, what is the relationship between Dai Zhide and Li Hong, Li Ji should be very clear, such a major event as the Eastern Crusade, no one will think that Dai Zhide will not discuss with Li Hong.

And in fact, Dai Zhide did mention this matter to Li Hong, although Li Hong knew that his father was now willing to let Xue Rengui out, but after all, the killing of prisoners was in an uproar, and it was still difficult for a civil servant like Dai Zhide to let go.

What's more, Xue Rengui has been in the mansion for many years, and no one knows whether he is still as brave as he was back then, and the matter of the Eastern Crusade really can't be delayed.

As the prime minister of Shangshu Province, Dai Zhide did not express his position at this time, and he was indeed a little unreasonable.

So after repeated discussions, they still decided to recommend Pei Xingjian for the time being, after all, now that Pei Xingjian is in the limelight, it is more secure for him to go.

But now Li Hong listens to Li Ji's tone, but there is something wrong......

"Although Master Li is in the mansion, this news is not lagging behind at all, yes, Master Dai did discuss this matter with Gu before he wrote the book, and Gu also felt that General Pei was very suitable.

However, in the end, Gu is not very good at this military formation, and since the British Duke has been reluctant to express his position, he has no choice but to let Gu, a layman, recommend it! ”

No matter where Li Ji is dissatisfied, it doesn't matter to Li Hong.

He came today to solve this matter, and some time was wasted with him, and he said with a smile on his face.

Even between the words, there was a mood to ironize Li Ji.

"So, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approve of Xue Rengui's expedition? Could it be because he is recommended by His Royal Highness King Yong? ”

Li Ji was in no mood to pay attention to Li Hong's careful thoughts, and seeing that Li Hong generously admitted the next day, his face suddenly sank, and he said in a cold voice.

"Hehe, why doesn't Master Li approve of General Pei's expedition, is it because he is the person recommended by Dai Fuji?"

Although Li Ji's tone was not very good, Li Hong was not afraid at all, he smiled, and asked lightly, except for the name, he gave it to Li Ji word for word.

provoked the old man to stare at him, his eyes were on fire, and he stared at Li Hong deadly, but Li Hong on the other side still looked indifferent, as if Li Ji's anger did not bring him the slightest pressure.

Pei Xingjian, on the other hand, looked at both sides and found that he couldn't afford to provoke them, so he had to sit down again.

He is good at military duels, but this kind of roundabouts and twists and turns in the government is really not something he can understand......

"British duke, today the lonely capital came to the door in person, you don't have to hide it, this knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, don't take out the trick of wanting to promote and suppress first!"

After a while, Li Hong sighed and said lightly.

"The reason why Lone recommended General Pei is not because the sixth brother recommended General Xue, in fact, Lone doesn't have any bad impression of General Xue, but he knows more about General Pei, that's it!

However, the Eastern Crusade is a major event, in the final analysis, the position of the commander still depends on the meaning of the father and Li Shi, and now the father intends to let General Xue go out, I don't know what kind of attitude Li Shi has? ”

The topic is back to the beginning, not that Li Hong is impatient.

But now there is no point in testing each other again, in the final analysis, this matter still depends on Li Ji's meaning.

"It's boring, it's boring, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so young, why is he so impatient!"

What surprised Pei Xingjian a little was that Li Hong's unkind words did not make Li Ji, who was already very angry, even more annoyed.

The latter waved his hand in annoyance, and sat back down, and the momentum he had shown before was gone.

Sitting there muttering to himself, like an old urchin.

But after just muttering for a moment, Li Ji's face became solemn, and his voice no longer had a joking tone.

"What the old man means, you can't go out this time to keep the covenant!"

This sentence is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

In other words, this is Li Ji's decision, not a discussion with Li Hong, although he has long expected this result, but Li Ji's attitude is so firm, it still makes Li Hong a little surprised.

Turning his head to look at Pei Xingjian, but seeing that he had no look of dissatisfaction or surprise, Li Hong knew that the two must have discussed it in advance.

But having said that, Li Hong couldn't help but ask.

"Why?"

After all, when Dai Zhide discussed with him, they all agreed that Pei Xingjian was the most suitable candidate.

"The old man knows that there have always been rumors in the capital in private, and there are also rumors in the army that the old man is cultivating the old man as an heir!"

Hearing Li Hong's question, Li Ji's expression was a little complicated, but there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and he said lightly.

"Today, the old man clearly told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the old man had the idea!"

Li Ji's voice was very powerful, and it seemed to have a bit of unquestionable taste.

And Li Hong's heart was a little shocked, although there were such rumors in the Korean and Chinese armies, but in the past, Li Ji had never admitted it, but today, he took the initiative to say it in front of him.

Presumably, today's things are really not that simple......

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong's expression also became a little solemn, and he turned to look at Pei Xingjian, but saw that the other party still looked calm.

Li Ji's voice didn't stop, but his expression was a little softened, and his tone no longer became so sharp!

"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first came to the old man, he told the old man that the military is now in decline, and if it goes on like this for a long time, it will inevitably be overwhelmed by those civil servants, although at that time His Royal Highness was just to let the old man support His Royal Highness to rebuild the East Palace, but I have to say that His Royal Highness still said the worry in the old man's heart!"

Li Hong was a little embarrassed to say this, he had no other chips in his hand at the beginning, so he could only rely on the trick of the white wolf with empty gloves, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Li Ji......

Such an embarrassing scene, even with the thickness of Li Hong's face, was a little unbearable, and he blushed slightly.
