Chapter 31: This is going to kill me......
Quietly in the lobby, Pei Xingjian took a sip of the teacup, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Master Li really didn't say it wrong, I am afraid that no one else has the courage to reuse these two people except His Royal Highness the Prince.
"This first one is not my Tang people, but a general, this East Palace Six Rates is very important, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the courage to hand over to a foreigner."
Demoted? Li Hong searched for the generals and generals in Chang'an City in his brain, and vaguely understood the person Pei Xingjian was referring to.
Although the Tang Dynasty has always been inclusive and does not resist foreign generals, even his wise and martial grandfather, Emperor Taizong, has several foreign generals such as Qi He Li and Li Jinxing by his side, but in fact, the generals are generals after all, and it is difficult to win the trust of the rulers.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was because the generals around Li Shimin were born and died with him again and again, and now Li Zhi has never set foot on the battlefield, so he naturally can't help but be a little suspicious of the generals and refuse to reuse them.
"General Blacktooth?"
Li Hong asked softly.
This black-toothed Changzhi was originally a native of Baekje, and later Su Dingfang conquered Baekje, so he took his hands to surrender Su Dingfang, although these years are said to be the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the east and west, it can be called loyal, but in fact, the status is embarrassing, because of the suspicion in Li Zhi's heart, he has been pressed to the official position, and he is not allowed to be reused, and now he is just a small deputy general.
Li Hong had an impression of him because he vaguely remembered that this black-toothed Changzhi was not only a general, but also a handsome talent, who repeatedly pacified the frontier for the Tang Dynasty, and finally became the official of Yan Guogong.
It's a pity that the Empress Wu didn't like it very much, and later after the Empress Wu ascended the throne, she was framed for rebellion and died.
"That's right! I wonder if His Highness dares to use him? ”
Pei Xingjian was a little surprised, as soon as he mentioned it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could guess who it was, it seemed that he had done a lot of homework, but this saved him a lot of words.
"Gu Su Wen is a general of the black tooth, and the six rates of the East Palace are in need of such talents, how can Lone not want it? I don't know who the other talent General Pei is talking about? ”
Li Hong knew that Li Ji's old guy would not drop the chain for himself at a critical time, although this black-toothed Changzhi was a general, but according to the development of history, this person's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was unquestionable, since this was the case, why use him.
With a bit of arrogance, Li Hong said loudly.
But the next moment, Li Hong couldn't laugh, because Pei Xingjian heard Li Hong's question, hesitated, and whispered a name.
"Wang Fangyi!"
The moment Li Hong heard this name, he stiffened, and with a "snap", the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Li Ji, you old thing, this is going to kill me!
Who is Wang Fangyi, Li Hong did his homework before he came, most of the generals in Chang'an City, big and small, know in his heart, this Wang Fangyi is indeed a general.
But Li Hong never put his mind on him, without him, this person's identity is too sensitive.
He has a famous cousin, who is the sworn enemy of the Empress Wu, the Wang family, and Li Zhi's original partner.
If the black tooth Changzhi is just not to recruit the Empress Wu to like, then with Wang Fangyi is not stingy to provoke the majesty of the Empress Wu, who does not know that the Empress Wu hated the queen to the bone, and also caught up with her own unclear sister Princess Anding.
In the court of the Tang Dynasty, there have always been two places that are taboo, and absolutely no one dares to touch them, one is the eldest grandson Wuji who is proud of his merits and has been cleaned up by Li Zhi, and the other is Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.
Li Ji really gave him a big problem this time.
Even Pei Xingjian didn't think that Li Hong would accept this proposal, but yesterday Li Ji specially told him that this was Wang Fangyi's only chance to come out, and today Pei Xingjian brought it up with a glimmer of hope.
But looking at Li Hong's reaction, there is probably no hope.
The original silence returned to the lobby, and Li Hong lowered his head, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, just when Pei Xingjian was about to give up, Li Hong suddenly raised his head and said after considering his words.
"Lone also knows General Wang, but it's just ......"
There was a hesitation in Li Hong's words, and half of what he said made Pei Xingjian a little nervous, Wang Fangyi was his proud disciple, whether it was martial arts or strategy, it was the best choice, but because of the cousin relationship with Queen Wang, no one dared to use him in the entire court.
Seeing such a talent depressed day by day, Pei Xingjian really couldn't bear it, so he boldly mentioned it, but seeing Li Hong's hesitation, Pei Xingjian felt that he was too naïve, even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the queen mother were not in harmony, but after all, he was the son of the queen mother.
"It's just that Lone needs to see General Wang in person!"
Li Hong's words were spoken extremely slowly, as if every word needed to be carefully considered, in fact, Li Hong's decision was very risky, and it was likely to offend Empress Wu completely.
However, firstly, Wang Fangyi is indeed talented, which makes Li Hong a little excited, and secondly, Wang Fangyi and Queen Wang are not very close relatives, and it has been a long time, and if you want to hinder Li Zhi's face, Empress Wu will not say anything.
The only thing worth hesitating about is that he is now fledgling, and if he offends the Empress Wu, I am afraid that life will not be so easy.
But Li Hong thought about it, his position as the crown prince was inherently destined that the relationship between him and the Empress Wu would not be harmonious, not to mention that now he was still thinking about finding out about Pingkangfang, and taking care of Helan Minzhi's hurtful thing.
At that time, it will inevitably be a head-to-head confrontation with the Empress Wu, and it will only be a matter of time.
The most important thing is that Li Hong has not forgotten the poisoning incident when he was in the Eastern Capital, and Li Hong firmly believes that he was in danger after drinking the soup sent by the female official next to the Empress Wu.
But when he woke up, everyone told him that there were assassins, and when Li Hong had just woken up, the strange blockade of Luoyang City was suspicious everywhere.
Although Li Hong couldn't be sure whether the poisoning incident was the mastermind of the Empress Wu, Li Hong intuitively felt that the Empress Wu had nothing to do with this incident.
Since Li Zhi asked her to mobilize the forbidden army to investigate, at least she must have known that the real reason for her fainting was poisoning rather than assassination, but Empress Wu chose to block the news, and even Li Zhi hid it to death, so Li Hong couldn't be suspicious.
However, Li Hong's words startled Pei Xingjian, listening to this meaning, there is still hope?
Pei Xingjian knew that it was indeed a little difficult for Li Hong to enable Wang Fangyi, because he was ready to be rejected, but the meaning of Li Hong's words was clearly to make a decision after meeting someone, wasn't he afraid of offending the queen?
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Pei Xingjian stood up and hugged his fist at Li Hong, now he really respects His Royal Highness the Prince, for the country, even the queen is not afraid of offending, it is worthy of his worship.
Of course, there is no lack of gratitude from Li Hong for giving his proud disciple a chance.
"General Pei is really embarrassed and lonely!"
Li Hong smiled bitterly, but in his heart, he scolded Li Ji to death that old guy.
He must have calculated that he had no one available at hand, so he threw this hot potato over, but the bad thing is that he still has to go next, Li Ji even sent Li Jingye over, it can be said that it is clear that the military fully supports the reconstruction of the East Palace.
Li Hong had to pay back this big favor, so even if he knew it was a pit, Li Hong had to jump in.
"Hehe, these two are already waiting for His Highness at the gate of the city, if His Highness is interested, he can take them to the camp of the Sixth Rate of the East Palace today."
put Li Hong on the table for no reason, and General Pei was a little embarrassed, but he still said stubbornly.
Li Ji, you are ruthless enough! Even the people are ready!
Li Hong couldn't cry or laugh, Li Ji had calculated that he would definitely accept these two people, I really don't know where he got his confidence.
However, since the people had asked for it, Li Hong did not stay long, and immediately rushed out of the city.
He wants to see how outstanding this character who makes Li Ji push him out at the expense of putting him together!
