Liu Yuan said with a resolute face: "Your Majesty, the minister has already thought clearly, the original intention of the establishment of the Yangwei Army back then was to deal with this kind of unexpected situation, raise troops for a thousand days, use troops for a while, it's time for them to dispatch, destroy the alliance of Tubo, Persia and Tianzhu, wait for the opportunity behind the enemy, and carry out decapitation operations if necessary, with the minimum cost, to obtain the greatest benefits, so as to conform to our Datang strategy." ”

"Virtuous nephew, it's too dangerous for you to do this, why bother, these three into Tibet are much more dangerous than the last two, you are dancing on the knife, taking millet from the fire, with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you can't take such a risk." Old Demon King Cheng suddenly opened his mouth to persuade.

This old man is on the road, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In fact, even if Liu Yuan does not ask for war, it is only a matter of time before the army goes to the battlefield, and now he takes the initiative to ask for Ying, but it is a lot more points than Li Er's order to go to the battlefield, and Liu Yuan automatically asks for Ying It is also for other purposes, as soon as Cheng Lao Demon King's words came out, it was like a spotlight shining on Liu Yuan's body, increasing his "glorious image", what is known and interested, this is informed and interested.

Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "This is originally my duty as a military general, and the enemy is currently the enemy, so I naturally take the lead." ”

Li Er was also moved all of a sudden, and said with a touched face: "I remember Aiqing said that for a country to be strong, that is, civil officials are not greedy for money, and military attaches are not afraid of death. ”

Cheng Lao Demon King said with a straight face: "This is also the emperor's wisdom, and the ministers are willing to go to the soup for the emperor, and they will not give up." ”

"The minister is willing to go to the soup for the emperor, and he will not give up" As soon as Cheng Lao Demon King's voice fell, the people present expressed their positions one after another to prove their loyalty.

Looking at Old Demon King Cheng's serious face, Liu Yuan's face twitched. Convinced, this guy is really good at beating snakes with sticks, as soon as Li Er's words came out, he immediately put the name of the good general on his head, and the action was not ordinary fast, this old demon king dared to fight hard, but he was greedy for money.

The monarchs and ministers praised each other, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was indescribably harmonious, which was many times better than the solemnity and depression just now. Li Er was in a good mood and said to Liu Yuan with a smile: "Yes, Liu Aiqing is loyal to his family and country, his heart is commendable, and his deeds are commendable, good." Your request was granted. Specific actions are discussed with the military department. Let them cooperate fully, and I am here waiting for your good news. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Yuan replied with a serious face.

Everyone discussed the situation in Tubo, put forward a lot of practical suggestions, and came up with a lot of countermeasures. Li Er had to be a peacemaker again, because it was time for lunch, and Li Er also set up a banquet to entertain him, but this was not a mid-day break. Everyone still has a lot of official business to deal with, and Li Er also has a lot of twists and turns that need to be corrected, that is, a few drinks, and stop at the same time.

At the end of the song, Li Er returned to the Lizheng Palace, said a few words with a smile to Empress Changsun, sat in front of the desk, and before the fold was opened, a eunuch walked in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Yangwei asks to see." ”

Li Er smiled slightly, and put down the fold in his hand: "Biography." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the eunuch left, Empress Changsun said a little strangely: "Your Majesty, the concubines smiled when they heard about Liu Qing's family, I don't know what happened?" ”

"This kid, I wanted to say something when I was discussing in the imperial study, but I never said it, I thought that he had something on his mind, but it was inconvenient to say it, and sure enough, the banquet was dispersed, and this kid went and returned."

Li Er is really observant, if Liu Yuan heard Li Er say this, he would definitely be surprised, and Empress Changsun also smiled and said: "The emperor is really not missing, and the concubines admire it." ”

At this time, Liu Yuan had already walked in under the leadership of the eunuch.

"Weichen see the emperor, the queen."

"Excuse me"

Empress Eldest Sun also said softly: "Liu Aiqing is exempt. ”

After Liu Yuan thanked him, he stood aside, Li Er glanced at Liu Yuan, and said lightly: "Okay, you have made a lot of meritorious contributions recently, and this time you took the initiative to ask for battle, if you have any requirements, you can get straight to the point, but it's best not to open your mouth." ”

Li Er didn't want to beat around the bush with Liu Yuan, so he opened the skylight and said something.

"Yes, the emperor, Wechen feels that the limelight has been too strong recently, and many people gossip behind Wechen, which makes Wechen honestly afraid, for fear that someone will be slandered behind his back, and there is a rut in the future, and he is also worried that his family will be bullied when Wechen is not there, as the so-called people are not good for a hundred days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days, Wechen wants to make a promise to the emperor, no matter what happens, the emperor wants to keep my Liu Mansion safe, such a Wechen is on the battlefield, and there is no need to be distracted." Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously after the most reluctant.

In the past, Liu Yuan definitely didn't want such a promise, because he had enough confidence to deal with all kinds of challenges, but that day he impulsively pushed Li Lizhen down, which is equivalent to carrying a time bomb by his side, and his life is in danger at any time, so Liu Yuan took the initiative to invite Yingsan to enter Tubo, and moved Li Er with some sincerity.

For Li Er, in addition to the eldest grandson queen who is in love with each other, the other women are his chips and chess pieces, in order to stabilize his position, the princess of the previous dynasty can marry, the woman of the scholar family can be accepted, for the peace of the four realms, the princess is married out of Lu to make peace, it is not reluctant, cheap foreigners can, cheap their own people, it should be okay, this is Liu Yuan's wishful thinking.

In the world, there is no unnegotiable deal, only an unspeakable price.

Liu Yuan said this, it is understandable, the last time he returned from the expedition, Dai Qisi almost let people rob her, which can be described as a shock to the whole dynasty, that is, the people are also deeply unhappy for it, at that time Li Erlongyan was furious, punished the person concerned, and returned Liu Yuan a justice, this request, Liu Yuan is for himself and the family in the house to add a layer of protection for Li Li's quality, although Cui Jing can not stay out of the matter, and Li Er, who cherishes feathers, has little chance of killing a meritorious family member.

But Liu Yuan didn't dare to bet, Li Er couldn't see through it, he was in a hurry, and his own brother would do it, so it was better to be careful.

This promise is a bit similar to the death-free gold medal, Danshu iron scroll and the like, of course, whether this kind of thing has any effect depends on the emperor's thoughts, and now asking for a promise is better than nothing.

Li Er stared at Liu Yuan, but quickly said cheerfully: "Okay, only if you don't betray me or the Tang Dynasty, I promise you, no matter what, with your past merits, you will be safe." ”

This is said magnificently, but a premise is added, that is, you can't betray yourself or Datang, if you violate these two premises, this promise will be null and void.

"Emperor Xie" Liu Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, with this commitment, personal safety has been ensured a lot, at least the psychological pressure is not so much.

This is the price of romance, although it was extremely ecstatic at the time, but the price was too much, Liu Yuan remembered a joke: the Chinese people said that the Westerners were too casual, and they went to bed before they got married, and the Westerners also said that the Chinese people were too casual, and they got married without a good understanding of it.

Liu Yuan's mood is good, and Li Er's mood is not bad, Liu Yuan's words are actually showing loyalty, at least, he can control the fate of others, this is a very good thing, he nodded when he heard the words, turned his head and asked Liu Yuan: "Liu Aiqing, you took the initiative to ask for the battle, and I am glad to solve the problems of Datang's worries, I don't know when you are going to go on the expedition?" ”

"They are already negotiating, and besides, the distance is far away, naturally the sooner the better, it should be within three days, but before leaving, it is necessary to communicate with the military department and share intelligence, in addition, going deep behind enemy lines, there are also a lot of inconveniences, lobbying and co-opting, and also need bargaining chips, and the emperor also wants the emperor to give the power to act expediently."

In addition to destroying the alliance of the three, Liu Yuan also wanted to unite those forces that were suppressed by Songtsan Gampo, secretly integrated, and joined forces with the Tang Dynasty, which would naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

When Li Er heard this, he nodded and said: "Yes, you have to be bold, you have to be careful, go deep behind the enemy, no one in Datang can be more suitable than you, although it is dangerous this time, but it is not isolated, those meticulous works will fully cooperate with you, and you also have to cooperate with Apo. Keep in touch, remember" Li Er suddenly said with a straight face: "You must cherish your life, in my mind, you are more important than a little Tibetan." ”

Liu Yuan's heart was ambiguous, this Li Er finally said an ambiguous word, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Alright, sit down, I'll discuss with you how this move should be taken."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

In addition to being the emperor, Li Er is also a famous general, and his combat experience is extremely rich, especially his strategic vision, which impressed Liu Yuan, and communicated with him, this is a rare learning opportunity, Liu Yuan will naturally not refuse

While Liu Yuan and Li Er were discussing, Li Lizhi got out of the carriage and returned home with Xizhi.

Today is the fifteenth, under the influence of the eldest grandson queen, Li Lizhen will go to the Great Compassion Temple to incense every first day and fifteenth day of the new year, praying for the blessing of the gods.

"Princess, you're finally back" As soon as the housekeeper saw Li Lizhi coming back, he immediately stepped forward to report: "The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, I've been waiting for the princess for a long time." ”

Li Li paused for a moment, and said with some curiosity: "Oh, Steward Liu? What is the important thing for him to find this palace? ”

"He said that there were things to be handed over to the princess by hand, and because the princess went to burn incense, he was always waiting here." The butler replied respectfully.

"Oh, pass." Li Li's heart moved, and there were a few more installments in her eyes, and she immediately ordered. (To be continued......)
