Li Yu's loss of control surprised Xiaogui a little.

It's not right to say anything at this time, it's better to do something and release your kindness.

Xiaogui reached out to pick up the pieces of the broken porcelain bottle.

"Let it go, let the people below do it." Li Yu turned his back to her and said angrily.

"I'll do it." Xiaogui said.

"Such a beautiful hand is cut, I can't bear it." Li Yu said.

Li Yu is easing the mood, which is a particularly clumsy way, but it does work.

"Your Majesty, this is also a pair of hands with a sword, which will not be easily cut." Xiaogui said.

"What's wrong with you, Xia Xiaogui, do you have to confront me in front of my courtiers?" Li Yu said.

"Oh, man." Xiaogui thought in his heart.

Men are creatures that sometimes put face above right and wrong.

"The concubine wants to ask Your Majesty, what help is it to give such a gift to the Zhao official family?" Xiaogui felt that at this time, he should be able to discuss it calmly.

"Don't call him an official! At least you can find out the reality of the Song army. Li Yu said.

"Then you shouldn't send Lord Xu Xuan, this Lord can't see the truth at all." Xiaogui said.

"Okay, I want to make a good impression on Zhao Kuangyin, but I don't want to give him anything to help in the battle, or actual support." Li Yu admitted this with frustration.

"No soldiers, no ships, no food, right?" Xiaogui said.

"Yes," Li Yu nodded, "Cow and wine will make me feel a little more comfortable." ”

Xiao Gui nodded, understanding Li Yu's thoughts.

"Your Majesty doesn't want Zhao Kuangyin to become stronger, but I hope that one day, Zhao Kuangyin will raise his noble hand because of these small gifts." Xiaogui said.

"Hmm." Li Yu said.

"This little gift is not Tang's peace, it's the peace of His Majesty's family, is it?" Xiaogui said.

Li Yu looked at Xiaogui.

This kid is so infuriating.

When discussing strategies, it was like a knife in the mouth.

"Not exactly." Li Yu argued, but his momentum had gone down.

"What else?" Xiaogui asked.

"If I don't do anything, the civil and military officials will think that I am letting the other party fiddle, then they will have different intentions, no matter what, let everyone see the countermeasures, and then, the explanation is in my hands, I said that I am exploring the truth, that is, exploring the truth." Li Yu said.

A person who is stuck in a difficult situation is especially prone to appearing busy because if he is not busy with something, he will feel that he is not working hard enough.

Before the startup company failed, the boss must have been unable to sleep every day, but he met unimportant people.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your explanation, the concubine understands." Xiaogui said.

Li Yu looked at Xiaogui: "What do you understand?" ”

"It's better not to say it." Xiaogui picked up the porcelain shards and was about to leave.

"You have to say, you have to tell me everything I haven't done!" Li Yu grabbed Xiaogui's hand.

You have to listen to the truth, and you have to have face, dignity, and a glass heart, which is the case with most men.

"When the concubine was a child, when I heard my senior brother tell the story of the Three Kingdoms, I didn't understand when I talked about Zhuge Liang's dedication." Xiaogui said.

"What's not to understand? Liu Xuande is the orthodoxy of the Han family, and I am the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty. Zhuge Wuhou is a famous prime minister of a generation. Li Yu said.

"Your Majesty, does Zhuge Wuhou know that Shu Han may not be able to hold on?" Xiaogui asked.

"Should know." Li Yu said.

"When I was a child, I asked my senior brother, why did he insist on it for decades when he knew that he couldn't unify the world?" Xiaogui said.

"What did Xu Jin say?" Li Yu asked.

"A unified dynasty must survive, and a divided monarch must also survive." Xiaogui replied.

Li Yu nodded, Xu Jin has such insight, it is not simple.

"Before the concubine, I only considered the victory or defeat, listened to His Majesty's explanation, and understood His Majesty's hardships, His Majesty wanted to protect the Tang Dynasty on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also a husband and father, and there were many things to consider. Your Majesty wants to fight against a strong enemy like Zhao Kuangyin, you can't easily give up the foundation of your ancestors, and you can't anger your opponent, this is where Your Majesty is in trouble. Xiaogui said.

Li Yu gently grabbed Xiaogui's shoulders with both hands:

"It's best if you understand me, I've been too anxious lately." Li Yu said.

Xiao Gui nodded, being used by Zhao Kuangyin to use the army to Chen Bing on the other side, who would be under great pressure.

Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping in Jingzhou, was afraid after hearing that Zhao Kuangyin had seized power, and had paid tribute to Zhao Kuangyin three times, but he did not get the promise of safety, Gao Baorong died of illness because of fear half a month ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was scared to death by Zhao Kuangyin.

Li Yu is a small force for Zhao Song, but for the various separatists in the south, he is already a big force, he has the capital to hold on, and he must fight for himself.

"Your Majesty, this edict should be my senior brother's strategy." Xiao Gui finally opened her mouth to reveal Xu Yongzhi's intentions, she knew that this would not hurt Xu Yongzhi.

"His plan?" Li Yu asked.

"He and Zhao Kuangyin are worried that Your Majesty will send troops to help in the war, if you really do that, they will owe you a great favor, and if you want to use troops in the future, they will be very embarrassed." Xiaogui said.

"How can you be embarrassed?" Li Yu said.

"They are afraid that you will take the opportunity to be like Qian Yu and completely become a real vassal, if Tang and Wu Yue are left as vassal states, these lands will not be able to supply the Song army." Xiaogui said.

Li Yu groaned and did not speak.

"So in fact, the best strategy is to send troops to help the war and force them to owe you favors; The middle strategy is to patrol the river according to the army and obey the arrangement of the edict; The next step is to give gifts, because the opponent will think we are scared. Xiaogui said.

Li Yu raised his eyes to look at Xiaogui.

"Your Majesty is atoning for your sins, and the concubines are pointing fingers again." Xiaogui said.

Li Yu is not Xu Yongzhi, when Xu Yongzhi makes a faint move, you can rattle him and quarrel with him, he will not be in a hurry, and he will quarrel with you when he is angry.

But Li Yu wants to be majestic and respectful.

"I also entrusted Zhao Guangyi to speak for Jiangnan." Li Yu said.

"Sure enough, it's the advice of the eldest princess." Xiaogui said.

"I think King Jin is an understanding person, he is not in the same state as his brother God of War, and he can communicate." Li Yu said.

"Your Majesty, pay attention, King Jin is a shrewd person, not an understanding person, understand people to leave room for people, shrewd people want everything, King Jin is not a person who is easy to be bribed, and with what I know about him, he is much more ruthless than his brother." Xiaogui said.

"Okay, this matter is settled, Lord Xu Xuan has already gone, if you want, you can follow him to Yangzhou Labor Army to see the reality of Song Jun." Li Yu thought to himself, give Xiaogui a holiday, and it might be fine.

"The concubine is going out for a walk, but she won't go with Lord Xu Xuan." Xiaogui said.

"It's all up to you, anyway, I know about Xu Jin's marriage, you should feel uncomfortable." Li Yu looked at Xiaogui.

"This should be what the eldest princess told Her Majesty." Xiaogui said.

"It's not her, I have other channels." Li Yu said.

Xiao Gui saw that Li Yu's eyes were shining, his face was grim, his muscles were tight, and he trembled slightly.

"I have a proposal, you completely forget about him, and take it seriously and only be my Zhaoyi, isn't it?"

Li Yu finally mustered up the courage to say this.

"Your Majesty!" Xiaogui looked at Li Yu, "If it was last autumn, this would really be a very exciting proposal, but the world has changed, and I have grown up." You are kind to me, I have no love for you. ”

"Am I just kind to you?" Li Yu shook his head regretfully.

"Yes." Xiaogui said.

"I love you, I love you very much." Li Yu said.

"Your Majesty spoils me," said Xiaogui, "but not love." ”

"Why isn't it love, I give you the seat of Zhaoyi, let you live in the palace, have someone to serve, allow you to enter and leave the palace freely, and entrust you with important tasks! Xiaogui, I have never loved anyone like this, not even the queen! Li Yu said.

"It's a pet, Your Majesty." Xiaogui said.

"Pampering, pampering, these two words have not been separated." Li Yu said.

"But it's completely different, and pets don't need the consent of the other party." Xiaogui said.

"Pet, as long as you want, you can go your own way, you can put all the expensive treasures in front of her, give her father or younger brother an official position, listen to her proposition, pet does not need to be reasonable, pet does not have to calculate the cost, this is pet."

"Love, two people have to be willing, to consider each other's feelings, to put a whole heart in front of her, to think about planning for her family, not to arrange her life, love to share a lot of feelings, love can not be afraid of conflict, this is love."

After listening to this, Li Yu suddenly felt dumbfounded, it turned out that as the king of a country, he had always been a person who couldn't be loved.

"To use spoiling to win a woman's heart, you don't have to be a son of heaven at all, as long as you have money."

"If you want to fall in love with a woman, it's useless to throw money and give her a palace, you have to expose yourself to her, let her see through the naked you, in the process, maybe she doesn't love anymore, but if she still loves, that's true love."

"This is the love of hearts, the ultimate in love." Xiaogui said.

Li Yu looked at Xiaogui.

Xiaogui looked at Li Yu.

"It's a pity, it's still not good......" Li Yu said.

"The concubine is still Your Majesty's Zhaoyi, and the concubine will do her best to protect the Tang Dynasty." Xiaogui said.

"I don't care about the Tang Dynasty, I want you." Li Yu said.

Xiao Gui hurriedly put his finger on Li Yu's lips and gently made a "shhhhh

"This is not what the Son of Heaven should say, if the concubine tempts His Majesty to say this, it will be a demon concubine like Daji and Zhao Feiyan." Xiaogui said.

"These two are queens." Li Yu smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty can't let go of the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, so many people are relying on you." Xiaogui said.

"I've been entrusting the eldest princess to find a way to turn you into a real woman, but this matter is difficult, and it can't be done overnight." Li Yu said.

That's what they've discussed!

Xiaogui listened to it and was also a little moved.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too rebellious, Xiaogui will not ask for it in this life. But the eldest princess has an enmity with the concubine, if she has any suggestions, I hope that His Majesty will discuss it with the concubine first, don't just casually, just tie the concubine's hemp and use the knife to apply medicine. Xiaogui said.

"You're telling a joke." Li Yu smiled.

"Concubines are not good at it." Xiaogui shook his head.

"yes, but I'll still laugh at you." Li Yu said.

Li Yu laughed out loud, and the laughter began to look majestic and heroic, then it became mournful and tactful, and finally it became like a cry.

Xiaogui put his hand on his shoulder and did not speak.

"Let's go, let me be quiet for a while." Li Yu said.

When Xiaogui walked outside the studio, it was already night, and thousands of lines of rain fell from the depths of the inky sky.

Outside the door, there was a man holding an oil-paper umbrella, dressed in white and on a white horse, which was particularly dazzling in this dark night.

That's Xu Yongzhi, the person she trusts with her heart.
