Lu Chengqi returned to the door of the Vertical Arch Hall with a straight face, but saw a person looking around there, looking inside the temple door, not knowing what he was looking at. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xu Qing, what are you looking at?"

"Shhh............h

Originally, this vertical arch hall was also divided into two gates. The door of the main hall was for the courtiers to see; The side gate is against the harem, and the emperor will generally come in through that door if he wants to deal with political affairs. On the side of the door is the emperor's study. So far, there are few courtiers in the court who can have the honor of getting Lu Chengqi's permission to enter his study. To put it bluntly, this vertical arch hall is Lu Chengqi's "office", where he works. If you have a private life, you will walk two steps, go to the study on the side, or take a nap at noon, or accompanied by Zhou Zhiruo, have a meal, play chess or something.

Counting the people who have been to the little emperor's study so far, it is none other than Tang Xun, Su Song, Shen Kuo, Sun Yong and these people, all of whom are some practical talents. Even Xu Jingchun did not have this honor, and he could enter the little emperor's study.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that entering the little emperor's study can be regarded as a success. is Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has only entered twice.

Lu Chengqi was a little funny, but his face was still very serious: "Where am I coming from?" ”

Xu Jingchun was choked and couldn't say a word.

"Anyway, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what did you come to tell me?" Although Lu Chengqi pretended to be relaxed, his face had already shown that he was in a bad mood now. There is a way that the Son of Heaven is angry, and millions of corpses are ambushed. Lu Chengqi is not so bloody, but it is terrifying enough. Thinking about the heads of those corrupt officials before, Xu Jingchun was a little dry-mouthed.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

Xu Jingchun just opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Chengqi: "Okay, let's go to the imperial study." ”

Xu Jingchun was stunned at first, and didn't react for a while. The Imperial Study, he was actually allowed to enter the Imperial Study! This is a great grace, could it be that the little emperor is going to promote him? He quickly came back to his senses, followed Lu Chengqi into the door of the vertical arch hall, and directly entered the imperial study.

The imperial study is the side hall of the vertical arch hall, and the layout is not small. It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of books hidden here, and there are some unique ones. As for all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are even more of them. The most precious thing is the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" hanging behind the dragon chair. Previously, Lu Chengqi didn't dare to imagine that in a pile of calligraphy and paintings, there was actually the authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface". You must know that according to later generations, this real book was brought into the underground palace by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Chengqi also played for many days before he dared to be sure that this was indeed the real thing. This line of flowing handwriting, the ink that has been smeared at random, cannot be faked. The royal collection, if you collect a fake, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?

Xu Jingchun only looked at the huge imperial study slightly, and then restrained his mind. He is clever, he knows that it is useless to see more, he is a big old man, he can know a few words at most, and it is impossible to talk about scriptures and Taoism with the little emperor, let alone play chess or something. Now as long as you follow the little emperor's train of thought, it will be foolproof, if you open your mouth and look at it a few more times, maybe you will be happy and sad.

Lu Chengqi sat down on the dragon chair before he said slowly: "Anyway, what's the important thing to ask to see me?" ”

Xu Jingchun was a little dazed, because he saw an amazing treasure, the heirloom jade seal, which was randomly thrown by Lu Chengqi on the dragon case, just covered with a sandalwood box. Hearing the little emperor's question, Xu Jingchun said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has received the exact news that Annan has reorganized the army and is ready to start a war against Champ!" ”

"Sure enough, the wolf is ambitious!" Lu Chengqi said hatefully, "In the city of Zhancheng, can you be vigilant? ”

Xu Jingchun pondered for a while before he said slowly: "The Champa State has always been on guard against Annan, so it should be on guard. However, the Cham people can sail, but not land, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the blade of Annam. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded, he also knew from the information of the Supervision Department that Zhanchengguo and Tianzhu had a far-reaching influence, using the Southern Tianzhu script, from Yin Tianzhu to Brahmanism and Buddhism, worshipping gods such as Shiva and Vishnu, and adopting a caste system. Later, it was introduced from the Central Plains to build cities, manufacture weapons and production technology, which promoted the development of production. Champa produces exotic objects such as ivory, rhino horn, and ebony, and is rich in rice, and has developed navigation technology. Champa held China's main sea route to the Tianzhu Pala Dynasty, the death of Sri Buddha and the Great Food in Black, and immediately became an important transit point on the Maritime Silk Road. Historically, this Zhancheng is not a good thing, the Three Kingdoms had a bad relationship with Sun Wu, and later also fought with the Central Plains Dynasty many times, and also took the opportunity to invade Zhenla by dividing Zhenla, and once repelled pirates from Kunlun and Java.

Therefore, these three Southeast Asian countries, whether they are Annam (Cochin) or Champa and Chenla, are not good things. This confirms Lu Chengqi's statement that there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests.

"If Champa is defeated, this Annan will be powerful. Zhenla is a country, strong outside and capable in the middle, so it can only stick to a corner and cannot take advantage of the situation to attack. If Annam conquers the city and frees his hands, Chenla will not be Annam's opponent. When Annan finishes digesting the two countries of Champa and Zhenla, it is time to covet the land of my Dashun! Lu Chengqi's face was gloomy and he analyzed slowly.

Xu Jingchun listened, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "This small country in Annan dares to do this?" ”

"Hmph, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Annan has always been a wolf with ambition and covets the Central Plains, what's so strange? Lu Chengqi sneered, "Didn't he just think that I had dispatched troops to suppress the bandits, and he thought there was an opportunity!" ”

Xu Jingchun said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Annan did not take advantage of the opportunity of my Dashun division of troops to capture the city, but a long-planned ......."

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "You can tell me your opinion." ”

Xu Jingchun got permission before he dared to let go and said: "According to the secret report of the Supervision Department, in this Annan country, there have long been strong troops, and the occupation of the city is also in full swing. My Dashun has always been friendly with the leading countries, even if Annam, Champong, Zhenla and other countries have disrespectful behavior, they have never sent troops to fight. Annan's self-establishment as a country was also a matter of the previous dynasty. I'm afraid that Annan never thought that my Dashun would one day send troops to help, and he never took my Dashun in his eyes......"

Lu Chengqi's face was blue and white for a while, he was in a bad mood today, and he was angry with the Queen Mother. Now that I heard Xu Jingchun say this, my face was even hotter. Even if he knew that this was not a sin he had done, but a legacy of his cheap father and cheap ancestors, he was so despised today, and his face was gloomy.

What Xu Jingchun said was the truth, and Lu Chengqi couldn't do anything with him, so he could only say coldly: "Hmph, is it really the current Dashun, or the previous Dashun?" (To be continued.) )
