Gu Shao was stunned for a moment and nodded, "What you said is recorded in historical records, and it takes a lot of effort to find it." Is it useful to just turn over old accounts for this negotiation? When the time comes, the people of Xiyun Kingdom sprinkled, knelt down at the gate of the palace, and after crying, many people ran for them to tell each other. When the time comes, you will be the target of their attacks. Aren't you afraid? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Don't be afraid." As long as you sort out the materials truthfully, by the way, if Li can also participate in sorting out these materials, under the circumstances of reasonableness, my chances of winning the battle against the Confucians will be greater. ”

"Li Yuanqing, are you crazy? Tongue war? Gu Shao felt that Li Yuanqing was bold, "Those spittle stars of Wenchen can drown you." ”

Li Yuanqing didn't care, since he came out, he had to do his best, "Master Gu, I have counted the five wars launched by the Xiyun Kingdom in the past twenty-three years at the border pass, the grain, grass, military expenses, and the number of sacrifices consumed by my Great Zhou, the rewards given to the Xiyun Kingdom after the peace talks, and the consumption and sacrifice of the Xiyun Kingdom. The casualties of our Great Zhou are twice as large as the number of people in the Xiyun Kingdom; All of our consumption is three times that of Xiyun Country. ”

"In the long run, the more wars the Xiyun Kingdom wages, the greater the consumption of our Great Zhou. If we don't break the routine and take effective measures, our Great Zhou will only gradually weaken in the constant attacks of the Xiyun Kingdom, the continuous apologies and surrender of the peace talks, and finally be consumed by the Xiyun Kingdom like the previous dynasty of Great Qi. ”

"Think about the fact that it has been 300 years since the founding of the Xiyun Kingdom, 150 years since the founding of the previous dynasty, and only 120 years since the Great Zhou Dynasty. The previous dynasty and the present dynasty together did not have the founding time of the Xiyun Kingdom for a long time, and they also took advantage of the change of dynasty to occupy the land of the two states of the Central Plains Dynasty, which has not been returned so far. Xiyun Kingdom is drinking the blood of the Central Plains Dynasty to prolong its life. ”

"Once the domestic contradictions are serious, immediately launch a war against the Great Zhou, seek benefits and share the spoils from the side of the Great Zhou, so as to alleviate the domestic contradictions and suck the blood of the Great Zhou to continue his life. If someone attacks me and ignores righteousness and morality, I will say that what they are doing is an enemy. They took the Great Zhou's Yulu, and they actually did the work of strengthening the Xiyun Kingdom. Are they the courtiers of the Great Zhou, or the courtiers of the Xiyun Kingdom? ”

These words hit Gu Shao's head like a heavy hammer.

Things that he couldn't figure out before, at this moment, gradually became clear, and he completely understood Li Yuanqing's thoughts.

Gu Shao bowed his hand and bowed slightly again, "Brother Li is talented!" Brother Li went back to have a good rest, and early tomorrow morning, Gu entered the palace and asked Your Majesty to allow me to find relevant materials. ”

Li Yuanqing returned the salute, "There is Lord Lao Gu." ”

The servant took Li Yuanqing and the others to the mansion in the west of the Gu Mansion, which was quiet and elegant.

Even in the cold winter, there are patches of red plum blossoms.

Proudly independent, quietly striving for spring.

Liu Kui followed behind Li Yuanqing, and waited for the servants of the Gu family to leave, then asked in a low voice: "General, why did you tell all those words to Lord Gu?" If it all becomes the credit of Master Gu, wouldn't you be busy in vain? In fact, we shouldn't live in the Gu family, we always feel that we owe Lord Gu a great favor. ”

Li Yuanqing took a sip of tea and patted Liu Kui's shoulder, "Liu Kui, do you think you are safe in the capital of Great Zhou?" First of all, there must be a fine work of Xiyun Kingdom in the capital. I attacked the Xiyun Kingdom, burned and killed, and captured so many soldiers of the Xiyun Kingdom, and the people of the Xiyun Kingdom were eager to dismantle me in eight pieces. ”

"Secondly, I will immediately negotiate with the Xiyun Kingdom on behalf of the Great Zhou, in fact, the forces on the side of the Xiyun Kingdom are not to worry, and those ministers in the court are my biggest rivals. Even if I have a reason, I still need to find a helper. Gu Shao is now a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he has many opportunities to contact various materials, and he is also a civil minister. He was able to be persuaded by me, and there was less resistance to my next negotiations. ”

Liu Kui scratched his head and lowered his voice, "General, the little white face surnamed Gu looks at our general's wife with an unusual look, you have to be careful, he conspires to kill you, and he can take the throne." ”

Li Yuanqing patted Liu Kui's head, "There are these feelings and loves in my mind all day long, and what you see is only the surface." Gu Shao is not the kind of person who gives up big love and fulfills small love. If he couldn't let it go, he would have acted a long time ago, why didn't he stay in Jixiang Town for so long and did so much, but if it was useful, he didn't say a word. Okay, this way, you are also very hard, wash up early, eat together, and rest early. ”

Li Yuanqing took a hot bath and had dinner. At the dinner table, he explained to the three subordinates, except for Liu Kui who stayed, the other two will go tomorrow to investigate who the Xiyun Kingdom mission met in the capital and what they did······

On the way, I was too tired.

Even though Li Yuanqing can bear hardships and stand hard work, he is very tired.

It was safe in the Gu family, and Li Yuanqing quickly fell asleep.

Gu Shao couldn't sleep for a long time at night.

A lot was written on the table, but in the end it was all burned in a brazier.

Seeing this, Gu San asked cautiously: "Young master, rest early, I have to enter the palace tomorrow!" ”

Gu Shao Ying got down and sighed, "Okay, let's sleep." ”

Seeing that Gu San was leaving, Gu Shao asked again: "Do you think what Li Yuanqing said is reasonable?" ”

Gu San stopped, when Li Yuanqing spoke just now, he was also present, he actually understood, and nodded, "Young master, it's good that your subordinates are stupid, but I think General Li has a point." A thing that once belonged to Zhuangzi with his own eyes. There are four brothers in a family, and they usually make noise for a little thing. Outsiders want to take advantage of it, and the four brothers usually have a very bad relationship, so they don't quarrel at this time, and they have been arguing with others all the time. The benefits were shared among the four brothers. ”

Later, they found that they had more to gain by uniting in this way than if they were alone, so they often joined forces to bully others. If you win, you will take advantage, and if you lose, you will apologize, and your family will become richer and richer. The four people, who were originally quite simple, have also become village bullies. Extending to the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Xiyun Kingdom, isn't the behavior of these four brothers like the behavior of the Xiyun Kingdom? ”

Gu Shao nodded, thinking deeply, "Yes, it's indeed very similar." This time, it's time for those pedantic bosses to open their eyes and see that they can't be like that before. ”

He had foreseen that there would be bloody storms and rains in the court in the future, but in order to be able to save Da Zhou from fire and water, and to be grateful for His Majesty's kindness, he was fearless.

After figuring it out, Gu Shao was sleepy and tired, and slowly fell asleep.

Even in his dream, Gu Shao was thinking about how to deal with the scoundrels of the Xiyun Kingdom and the attacks of the courtiers and Confucianism, and dreamed that Li Yuanqing spit lotus flowers in his mouth and fought with his tongue.
