Chapter XXXIV
There was really no way to talk about this matter in detail outside, so Lin Feng had to invite everyone into the Prime Minister's Mansion first.
At this time, Lin Renzhao and the others rushed up, surrounded Li Congqian and Chen Xiangrong in the middle, and expressed their gushing admiration, and the stars hugged them into the mansion like the moon. Their group is a collective action, there are people along the way to greet food and accommodation, Li Congqian is a child, and only half of the way to add an adult, but he rushed to the front of the big team, I have to admire!
The simple luncheon was quickly put on the table, and the reception banquet, which was supposed to be very cheerful, was suddenly jumped out by His Royal Highness Li Congqian, and suddenly lost its taste.
Lin Feng picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites, looking at Li Congqian who was sitting on the main seat, he really didn't have any appetite, and he had no way to mention this matter.
Li Congqian felt Lin Feng's eyes, raised his head, and didn't speak, just pointed at Chen Fei and them on the side with chopsticks, and then pointed to himself, the meaning was obvious: Why can Chen Fei and their children come, but I can't come?
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, you are a dignified prince, can you compare with a few orphans? Is there more than a difference between heaven and earth?
Liu Renzhen observed this little pantomime, couldn't help laughing, turned his head and asked Lin Feng softly, "What is Lord Lin going to do?" ”
"Cold salad!" Lin Feng said angrily, pointing to the east with chopsticks, and said with a sigh, "Wait for the news from the east." If nothing else, the will in the capital should arrive in these two days! ”
This is needless to say, the emergency order in Jinling City must be on the way at this time, at least Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, personally ordered Lin Feng, and then he will definitely escort Li Congqian back.
"Then I'll let my two children accompany His Royal Highness Nine in the past two days and take a good look around this Ezhou City, right?" Liu Renzhen proposed.
"Nope! I'm not going, I'm going to be with my teammates! Li Congqian heard the conversation between the two, put the chopsticks down, and said loudly.
Lin Feng could only shake his head, picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat. Influenced by the first few people, except for Ma Bin, who was still a little idle to watch the play, everyone else also buried their heads and accelerated their meals.
After this stuffy meal, Lin Feng and Liu Renzhen briefly discussed and decided to give the special soldiers a half-day off, and the two of them discussed the westward journey behind closed doors.
When Liu Renzhen heard this, he immediately instructed the two deputy generals in the Prime Minister's Mansion, plus his two sons Liu Chongwen and Liu Chongjian to be good "ground accompaniments" and take the guests to the famous places of Ezhou City.
When Ma Bin heard that the secret business had nothing to do with him, although he was a little disappointed, he immediately shook his spirits, offered to accompany the special soldiers around, and volunteered to be a "money bag".
Lin Feng waved goodbye to his brothers, turned around and entered the study with Liu Renzhen.
After all the subordinates retreated, Liu Renzhen got straight to the point and asked directly: "Zhishan, why are you so urgent about this westward trip?" ”
Lin Feng naturally didn't hide anything from this old man, and talked about the dreams he had told the emperor Li Jing and the king of Qi Li Jingsui, the recent changes in the court, and the conditions that he had agreed with Li Jing on the plot of Chu, focusing on the reason why he had to implement the plan in advance.
Liu Renzhen listened quietly and did not say a word.
"In the boy's view, national reform and development are all sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. The development of Datang to the present has finally shown some signs of goodness, but those with vested interests and those who follow the old ways will not be reconciled, and the road in the future will become more and more difficult to walk. For the sake of Datang's future, the kid has to take risks and make great contributions, so as to hope to control the change as soon as possible! Lin Feng summed up in a deep voice.
"Then, Zhishan, what is your strategy for entering Chu?" Liu Renzhen finally answered.
"It's very simple, push it down the river, consume it quickly, divide it and turn it into a distraction, lure it and benefit it, turn his strength into his own, and swallow it after the whale!" Lin Feng revealed his overall thoughts after traveling west.
Liu Renzhen was silent again, and after a long while, he asked, "Do you believe in the dream you said?" ”
"I believe it! Because, many things have already been fulfilled in reality! Lin Feng immediately answered. Subsequently, Lin Feng explained in detail the scene of Li Jing's interrogation of Han Xizai about the dialogue in the dream, especially emphasizing that even if the north unifies the world, but loses the sixteen states of Yanyun, and faces the barbarian nomads in the north who are unobstructed, it is very likely to incur the catastrophe of the Chinese nation in the end, until he is dry-mouthed, and then he concludes, "It is precisely to prevent all this from becoming a reality, for the sake of the Chinese people in this world, I have launched a debate competition, advocated the talent selection ceremony, and encouraged the honorary lords, Working hard to train elite soldiers is to concentrate the power of people with lofty ideals in Datang and work together to change the future that is very likely to happen! ”
"Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" Hearing this, Liu Renzhen slapped the table fiercely, got up and read aloud.
Liu Renzhen walked quickly to the map on the west wall of the study, slammed his fist to the location of Luoyang, the capital of the Han Kingdom in the north, and said bitterly: "Isn't it great to unify the south with the north?" When I don't have a good boy in Jiangnan? It's a pity that the emperor recuperated and repaired his neighborliness, which can be said to be unenterprising, and even if I have all kinds of ambitions, it is in vain! ”
Liu Renzhen walked to the window again, pointed outward, turned around and continued: "I can try my best to bless the peace of the people of Ezhou and the peace of the land, but I can't take care of the people of Huaibei and the people of Chu, and even in this Tang world, the suffering people are everywhere!" ”
Lin Feng looked at the old man who was a little fierce under his passion, and laughed dumbly in his heart, only saying that he was a little angry young man, and he couldn't imagine that the old man was an out-and-out old angry young man! In this chaotic era, as a good person who is loyal, patriotic, and compassionate, if you live for a lifetime, you will have to suffer for a lifetime!
Lin Feng, who was agitated, stood up, stepped forward and held the old man's hand tightly, and responded loudly: "Where the Tao is, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" It can be described as the common motto of our generation! ”
Liu Renzhen shook his head, stared at Lin Feng tightly, and said heavily: "Zhishan, I'm not as good as you!" You are from a white background, but you can disregard your safety, be bold and enterprising, and successfully make so many proud achievements, which is really rare! And I, in the past, only knew that I was a foolish loyal, and I did everything according to the rules, and never dared to exceed half a point, perhaps, this is not a good thing! ”
Lin Feng stared at the old man's somewhat painful face, his heart was extremely excited, but he couldn't find a continuation for a while.
Liu Renzhen's words stopped, and he suddenly said with some difficulty: "Zhishan, think about it from another angle, maybe it is not a bad thing to bring Li Congqian to the Chu State!" ”
Lin Feng's body shook, and the expression on his face became solemn.
To be honest, Lin Feng didn't have the idea of taking Li Congqian as a "hostage" in his heart, but he was a little too stubborn in his heart to believe in the character of Li Jing, Li Jingsui and others. In fact, if you think about it carefully, not to mention that if your trip to Chu Country is not successful, will all the responsibility for the failure be pushed on himself, Lin Feng's deepest fear in his heart is that if during the period of his absence, his political opponents will concentrate on secretly assassinating everyone in the mansion, find an excuse to collapse the supermarket, create an accident and disband the special forces in the valley, and then slowly take away the control of the Academy of Sciences, and all his efforts will be in vain. He will officially become a meteor who was briefly active in the political arena of the Southern Tang Dynasty! And in the political struggle to the death, all this is not completely impossible!
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, he had never been a pedantic and stubborn coward! Lin Feng bowed deeply to Liu Renzhen, straightened up and said, "It seems that I have to talk to Ma Bin at night!" ”
At this moment, Lin Feng made up his mind, since Li Congqian insisted on going west with the team, then don't blame me for pushing the boat!
It was only at this time that Lin Feng took out the secret decree written by Li Jing to Liu Renzhen from his arms. Liu Renzhen didn't rush to see it, but just arched his hand at Lin Feng: "Please rest assured, Brother Fool and Wuchang's 30,000 elite soldiers are on call at any time!" ”
