Chapter 286: Emperor Zhou Ping's Ambition
Let's say that after Gonggong Liang returned to the palace, he immediately went to see Emperor Zhou Ping.
Emperor Zhou Ping was correcting the folds, and when he heard the report from the inner servant, he immediately let Liang Bao in.
Gonggong Liang came in and knelt on the ground respectfully, "See Your Majesty, the slave and maid have fulfilled their mission, and Lord Gu and General Li have entered Beijing." β
Emperor Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "Liang Bao, hurry up." Can you arrange General Lee's residence? β
Gonggong Liang stood up and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, General Li felt that there were many people in the official post station, so he did not live in the post station, but chose to live in Lord Gu's house. β
Emperor Zhou Ping thought for a while and nodded, "This is very good, General Li first came to the capital, the foundation is too shallow, and in the past year, he has led a total of Great Zhou soldiers to use troops against Xiyun Country ten times, ten battles and ten victories, a total of 40,000 enemies were annihilated, and 90,000 were captured." This record has already made Xiyun Kingdom frightened. It is indeed unsafe to let Li Yuanqing live outside. In addition, additional manpower was sent to protect Li Yuanqing. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Gonggong should go down.
"How is Lady Drey?" Emperor Zhou Ping asked, just because of the two high-yield crops that Liu Paner paid tribute, his throne was finally secured, and no one said that his throne was not in the right way.
Liang Gonggong replied: "Mrs. Derui is very good, Jixiang Village and Jixiang Town are well built, and the original villagers have come to defect, and they are thriving." Mrs. Drey also said that she would try double cropping rice planting in the coming year, and that she would also plant other new crops. I will definitely do my best to do things, strive to achieve results as soon as possible, and give good news to Your Majesty. β
"Good! I am very relieved. Emperor Zhou Ping said with a smile, looking forward to next year's double cropping rice.
Emperor Zhou Ping did not know at this time that before the double cropping of rice, Mrs. Derui was about to transform the iron plow, which greatly improved the efficiency of cultivation and saved effort. Even if there are no oxen in the house, as long as there is a strong laborer in front of them, and someone in the back pushes an improved iron plow, they can plow the land.
"God bless the Great Zhou." Liang Gonggong patted the sycophants at the right time, there were not many good words, but they were particularly useful.
Emperor Zhou Ping nodded, "Liang Bao, you have worked hard this time, go back and rest early." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Bao thanked him and completed this task.
Emperor Zhou Ping took the secret fold sent in by General Zhao again, and carefully read it from beginning to end.
Not to mention that the above goal can be completed, that is, half of it can be completed, and the Great Zhou Emperor will give Li Yuanqing a great credit.
Some time ago, General Zhao asked for merit to the soldiers below, and Li Yuanqing was promoted to two levels, and now he has become a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, taking a big step forward, and the future is promising.
The next day, Gu Shao and Li Yuanqing had just had breakfast, and an attendant came to Zhao's house to read the holy decree.
Li Yuanqing became the general of Sipin Zhenwei, specially sent official uniforms, and then entered the palace.
Gu Shao, who was wearing a four-grade official uniform in front of Li Yuanqing in the morning, suddenly felt bored, and Li Yuanqing was also promoted. No matter how much he shows off, it will be a little superficial.
Li Yuanqing changed into an official uniform and followed Gu Shao to the palace gate.
Gu Shao turned his head and looked at Li Yuanqing, "General Li, the rules in the palace are strict, you just entered the palace, you don't understand the rules, follow behind Gu." What Gu does, General Li will do! β
Li Yuanqing chuckled and hugged his fists in thanks, "Thank you, Lord Gu." β
Gu Shao didn't admit that he was kind, and retorted stiffly, "No thanks, it's all for Da Zhou." β
After speaking, Gu Shao walked to the front, and Li Yuanqing followed behind Gu Shao.
Although he was suppressed by Gu Shao like this, Li Yuanqing also understood his own details, he really didn't know the rules and related etiquette, and it was necessary to study with an open mind.
Under the leadership of the chamberlain, he came to the imperial study.
Today, the emperor and ministers don't need to go to the court, so they can see Li Yuanqing and Gu Shao in the morning.
Emperor Zhou Ping heard the rumor, "Xuan Gu Aiqing, Li Aiqing!" β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Liang should go down and come out to greet him in person.
Gu Shao and Li Yuanqing followed behind Gonggong Liang and walked in.
Learning from Gu Shao's movements, Li Yuanqing gave a big salute to the Great Zhou Emperor.
"The two Aiqing are exempt." Emperor Zhou Ping wanted to settle the negotiation matter as soon as possible, and he didn't want to quarrel in the court over this matter, and he didn't want to sign a treaty with Xiyun Kingdom as before, according to the old practice.
That paper treaty was useless at all, he was rich as the emperor of the Great Zhou, but he didn't want to waste pen and ink.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shao thanked him, then stood up.
Li Yuanqing also stood up, and only when he looked up did he see the emperor not far away.
He is not very handsome, but he is also dignified, and the most rare thing is that he is in good health and has resolute eyes. As long as there are no accidents, there should be no change of throne in the next 30 years.
In a relatively stable environment, invention and creation, agricultural development, can be more rapid, and the people can also create more value and wealth.
Just when Li Yuanqing was looking at Emperor Zhou, Emperor Zhou Ping was also looking at Li Yuanqing.
With a burly figure, a handsome appearance, resolute eyes, and steady steps, he is worthy of being the pillar of the Great Zhou.
"Give a seat." Emperor Zhou Ping attached great importance to these two capable military generals who were born and died for him, both of them were very young, considering problems, and doing things in style, unlike those old ministers in the court.
Since the throne was secured, Emperor Ping of Zhou would think about realizing the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If you want to prote, you need reform, and you need capable military generals.
Two chamberlains brought stools and placed them not far from Emperor Zhou Ping.
Gu Shao and Li Yuanqing sat down, their backs straight.
Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, "Don't say polite words, just get back to business." Li Aiqing, I think the suggestions you made to General Zhao are very good. The reason why Xiyun and the surrounding countries dare to repeatedly violate the border is because the price of their border violation is too low, so they tear up the treaty again and again. Only by making them pay a heavy price will they not dare to easily tear up the signed peace talks. β
There were also voices in the court, but Wenchen used the old precedents of the previous dynasty and the present dynasty to damage the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty and sternly refused. Two days ago, there were two old ministers, and I just said a few words, and he was about to hit the pillar to die Mingzhi. It cannot be said that these old ministers are disloyal, but in doing so, it does hinder the development of the Great Zhou. Li Aiqing, you and Gu Aiqing are both capable military generals of mine, you each express your own opinions, do not pursue right and wrong, and find ways to effectively persuade the ministers in the court who hold opposing views. β
When Li Yuanqing saw the emperor asking, he immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, Weichen is literate and literate, and he is lying on the wall of the private school to learn secretly. In the court, those who talk about it, poetry and songs, and quote scriptures are not the opponents of those old adults who read poetry and books at all. It is estimated that before he could speak, Weichen was sprayed all over his head by those ministers. In this way, Weichen felt that he could not attack the opponent's strengths with his own shortcomings. Wechen felt that he would use the minister's strengths and attack his shortcomings. β
Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, "Li Aiqing is worthy of being familiar with the art of war, so tell me how you use your strengths to attack the weaknesses of the other?" β
