This night talk was extremely difficult, like a negotiation, there were compromises,-for-tat, and temptations to go back and forth.

They talked about a lot of topics, but they were by no means many, and everything could be described as an important task for the country.

However, the topics that the two of them talked about were trying their best to avoid the affairs of the imperial court, and Li Pu, who was in charge of the affairs of the same family, naturally did not want Zhao Shi to interfere too much, so he naturally had to be wary, even if Zhao Shi was the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and did things in moderation, Li Pu rarely talked about the governance of Hedong.

Zhao Shi also avoided talking about it most of the time, because in government affairs, he was really not very familiar with it, and it was easy to leave a handle and be laughed at by others, which was not good for him, even if he had realized that the change in his status would inevitably involve more and more affairs in the court in the future.

However, at this time, too much interference in government affairs will not have any good fruit to eat, and it will arouse the vigilance of many people, not to mention, and it will also have an unpredictable impact on the future war.

Therefore, as a result of this night talk, the two of them will not be too comfortable in their hearts, let alone have any meaning of civil and military compatibility, but more of a faint contest.

However, for Li Pu, it can be said that he has gained a lot, and he can look at his person again, and many unresolved things in his heart have answers, in general, he is still relatively satisfied, in fact, what makes him most relieved is that this general is not as domineering as he imagined.

It's hard to control, but it's reasonable, and in some things, he feels that he can even get the full support of the general...... This is the real harvest, today's Great Qin, without the support of the generals in the army. A lot of things are hard to do.

Ultimately. Li Pu said in his heart. It seems that there will be more when I deal with this general in the future, but I don't know how long I can stay in this position, and what will the political situation in the court be like after I go.

Perhaps, when Yang Xiang left the court. The emotion in my heart should be the same as myself, right?

On the other hand, Zhao Shi's income is less pitiful than Li Pu's, but Li Pu's faint support for next year's war also makes him feel much more relaxed.

Next year's war will be the most magnificent war since the founding of Great Qin, and without the full support of the rear, Zhao Shi would rather stay in Beijing and sit in the town. The great achievement of destroying the country should be handed over to others, and it cannot be because the rear is not appeased. And to the defeat of the army, no one can afford such a result.

The cold night was deep, and the conversation was almost over, so Zhao Shi got up and said goodbye.

Li Pu stayed a little, so he didn't say much, but just ordered someone to call Li Ji, who was drinking tea in the side hall, and he personally sent Zhao Shi to the door of the hall.

"The general's return to Beijing this time is not a small credit, and the reward must be rich, the old man is here, congratulations to the general first."

Zhao Shi smiled, on this, he doesn't have to be humble, most of the territory of Daqin is now fought down by him, and no one can compare with him in terms of credit.

"Zhao Shi's merits are nothing, if there are no soldiers in front of him who dare to die, how much can Zhao Shi do, so it is right for adults to spend more effort and reward meritorious soldiers."

"This is natural."

Li Pu nodded, in his heart, the system of the imperial court's meritorious service should also be changed, now there are more and more meritorious people, and they want to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and they are afraid that the generals in front will falsely report their military merits, so the current system of meritorious service has been too procrastinating, not only makes the Privy Council, the military department and others tired, but also, if it goes on like this, the soldiers in front will inevitably have complaints.

Glancing at Zhao Shi, Li Pu wanted to talk to him about this matter, but Li Ji had already done it over there, thinking about it, he was not in a hurry, the days after that were still long, and many things could not be bypassed by this general now, and many things could not be finalized in a few words, there were many things in his heart, how could it be done if he remembered one thing?

When Li Ji came closer, after the salute, Li Pu sent a few more steps.

When it was over, Li Pu stopped, waved his hand to drive the servant who led the way away, and said with a smile: "The position of the right attendant of the military department has been vacant for a long time, can the general have a suitable candidate?" ”

Zhao Shi was stunned, Li Ji's face changed, his lips squirmed, he didn't interject in the end, but the smile on his face was much stiffer.

Zhao Shi thought about it and knew that this was a personal favor, the fourth rank master, this Lord Li Xiang was very courageous, but even if he didn't speak, could it be that the position of the right attendant of the military department could still be left behind?

Immediately, Zhao Shi smiled and bowed his hand and said: "Li Xiang said that he laughed, how can Zhao Shi interfere in the matter of selecting talents and appointing talents?" Li Xiang stayed, and the night was heavy, Zhao Shi went here, set up a banquet in the mansion another day, and then drank and talked with Li Xiang. ”

Li Pu's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and arched his hand, "The general will go slowly, and the old man will not be far away here." ”

It's as if what Fang Cai said wasn't what he said at all.

On the way out of the house, Li Ji, who was sent off, was quite absent-minded, Zhao Shi secretly sneered in his heart, most of these people from the family are actually not much different from those grassland magnates, and they are greedy and greedy, but those magnates on the grassland are more **.

After a while, outside the gate of the Li Mansion, Zhao Shi's guards were already waiting there, and the big-headed Li Hun was also accompanying him, Zhao Shi bowed his hand to Li Jiyi, "Thank you for sending me off." ”

Li Ji returned the salute, "The general doesn't have to be polite. ”

Zhao Shi nodded, turned around and took the reins of the horse from the guards, turned over on the horse, took the guards, and roared away without even looking back.

Li Hun cautiously approached the thoughtful Li Ji and muttered, "What a great majesty......"

Li Ji turned around and glared at him, and now he looked at anyone a little unpleasantly, and immediately reprimanded him: "Look at you, you are disheveled, what kind of appearance you have become, you have time to say those sour words, it is better to think about the way of being an official and herdsman, go back and copy the Analects twice, and then bring them to me for a look." ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving Li Hun blinking his eyes, his eyes rolling, and he thought, could it be that the fourth uncle also suffered a loss, otherwise how could he be so angry?

Still copying the Analects, when I am a little cub in ethnography?

Li Ji hurriedly went straight to the main hall at this time, and when he got there, he asked and went to the study.

In the study, Li Pu's official uniform has been changed, drinking fragrant tea, looking very comfortable.

Seeing Li Ji coming in from outside, Li Pu was not surprised, and waved his hand, "Sit, come here, serve tea to the fourth master." ”

Li Ji sat down, took a few sips of tea, and suppressed the anxiety in his heart, at this time, the wine had already woken up, and only his heart was full.

The scholars and servants in the study quietly retreated, and soon the place was quiet.

Li Ji couldn't help it a little, and pondered the wording in his heart, and then slowly said: "Big brother, Zhao Zhuguo has just returned to Beijing, although His Majesty is ...... But on top of the appointment and dismissal of important ministers in the court, we still have to listen to what other people mean, right? ”

Li Pu sighed in his heart, seeing that the matter is not clear so far, it is rare to be able to die in the position of Hubu Shangshu in the future, if you want to go one step further, there is no need to mention the difficulties, if it is done, it will become a way to take trouble.

"You're still too anxious......"

only said this sentence, and seeing that Li Ji's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, he didn't say more, but said on the matter: "Even if I don't mention it, can it be that the people of the Li family can still send a military squire?" ”

Li Ji shook his head secretly, thinking to himself, the eldest brother saw that the matter was unknown, that person was already more powerful, and if he wanted to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the DPRK and China, who else could control him in the long run?

"But you can also find one or two subordinates...... Tongguan transshipment envoy ......"

Li Pu frowned, and didn't allow him to finish at all, "The imperial court is at the time of employing people, and it is not beneficial to the country to transfer the army to return to Beijing and serve as the squire of the military department. ”

Li Ji's gaze shrank slightly, his awe for this eldest brother was not cultivated overnight.

However, he was really unwilling in his heart, the position of the right attendant of the military department was not a trivial matter for the Li family, and this not only involved the issue of limiting the power of the general, but in addition, in his opinion, if the Li family wanted to achieve some achievements, it would not be possible to be so tepid.

Even if you can't compete for this position, you have to recommend people close to you to go up, and the children of the Li family can have more choices in the future, especially military merits, and it is this that the Li family has fewer now.

If you can intervene in the military department, you will be able to solve it......

Li Pu looked at him, understood what he was thinking, and secretly said that this cousin's ambition was really out of place, but he could only continue to explain: "In the future, the military department and the household department will be the top priority...... Fang Cai, is the one you saying is humble, or is it scruples or something? ”

"You...... Just look at the look of that person, and the words, you can understand the things, people have already made arrangements, listen to his words, the affairs of the court, do not want to take care of it, but the military department, the household department, the two places, related to the army to fight, if it is justified, it is fine, but want to install a private ...... How could he allow someone to interfere indiscriminately? ”

Li Ji listened, but protested: "Then let him install his cronies and act recklessly?" ”

Li Pu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and unconsciously brushed his beard, "Don't think about the things over there in the military department, do a good job of your household book, if something goes wrong, the old man can't protect you...... I wrote to ask the third child to be honest, you will be the champion general when you return to Beijing this time, will you be patient and entangle with others? Once it is forced, the thunder means will naturally roll down, and then don't say that you are a household scholar, even if you are an old man, what can you do? ”

(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for praise, don't be too long-winded, some places pass by in a flash, definitely not, in fact, the most important thing for the army to fight is to prepare, really fight, but there is not much pen and ink that needs to be described, everyone be patient.)
