Lingtian Pavilion, the bright light through the Xuan Yu, beams of light in the hall, illuminating a little dust in the air, are all distinct.

Luo Su sat cross-legged, holding a lotus flower in one hand and spreading it flat with the other, closing his eyes and meditating, countless golden silk threads woven by light, like weaving a feather coat, draped on his body, bright and sacred, with the atmosphere of feathering and soaring.

When Li Jing walked into the Lingtian Pavilion, what he saw was such a scene.

In the Lingtian Pavilion, the phoenix stone pillar supports the sky at the top of the palace, and there are Qingluan, bluebird, golden phoenix, jade phoenix on the pillar body, gilt inlaid with jade, a piece of gold and splendor, solemn and solemn.

But when Li Jing saw Luo Su, he no longer paid attention to all this on the outside, he smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance in his nose, and gradually calmed down with a worried mood.

His body was as strong as a bear, but he was as dexterous as a monkey on Mount Emei, without making the slightest sound, he sat down quietly, quietly waiting for Luo Su to finish his meditation.

Even though he is already the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and his official position is already the right servant of Shangshu, among the martial arts, except for Luo Xuanye, he is the highest, but when he sees Luo Su, he is still like a high mountain.

Luo Su slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were bright and clear, there was a kind of ignorance that had just opened from chaos, and it turned into spiritual light in an instant.

Li Jing saluted and said: "Li Jing greets the national teacher, and the national teacher is blessed." ”

Luo Su looked Li Jing up and down, and looked at Li Jing's heart with straight hair, and the hairs stood up, and the heart that had just relaxed raised to his throat.

After a long time, Luo Su slowly asked, "Why does Dai Guogong think I summoned you to this Spirit Heaven Pavilion?" ”

Li Jing shook his head decisively and said, "I don't understand, and I ask the national teacher to solve my doubts." ”

Just kidding, if he could have guessed, would he still be so nervous?

Luo Su was not surprised by Li Jing's answer, and asked again: "Then how do you think you compare with the commander of the ancient famous generals?" ”

Luo Su's attitude of not talking about anything but asking questions continuously made Li Jing more and more nervous, if someone else asked Li Jing this question before, then he must say arrogantly, "I think the famous generals of the ancient times are just like me." ”

But now Li Jing said modestly: "I don't know how many people are better than me." ”

He is still confident in his own ability, but in the past few years, Li Shimin's few imperial mental skills have basically been used on him, and no one in the court has spoken to him, although he still has to be very important, but he is very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Luo Su smiled and said: "You are different now than when I first met you, and it is also a lucky thing that people can grow up again at your age." ”

Li Jing could only smile bitterly when he heard this, but his heart relaxed a lot, although the words of the national teacher were ridiculous, but at least his attitude was still very kind.

"I summoned you into the Spirit Heaven Pavilion today because of your outstanding command ability.

Your military ability is indeed better than almost everyone today, and no famous general in history dares to say that it will definitely be better than you.

Xuanye has a general relationship with you, I know, he is a lover, and it's normal to dislike you.

But you don't have to worry that because of this, I will be biased against you.

You are a very useful person, and useful people will not be abandoned. ”

Useful people will not be abandoned, Li Jing was stunned for a moment, this sentence entered his heart, almost throughout his fifteen-year career as an official in the Tang Dynasty, before and after the two emperors, he never became a confidant, but in the end he was still in a high position, just because he was useful.

But also because it was useful, he was always on guard.

With the same attitude of the Son of Heaven, Wei Chigong and Luo Xuanye dared to laugh and talk with Li Shimin, but he was terrified.

Because the former has a personal relationship with the Son of Heaven and has many years of friendship between life and death, but he does not have these, and even the Son of Heaven is only wary of him.

The reason is very simple, an outsider is extremely capable, and he can't guarantee loyalty, no one will rest assured, if it weren't for Luo Xuanye's presence, Li Shimin would definitely take Li Jing away before he died.

Any meritorious hero, Li Shimin can be left to Li Chengqian in the future, except for Li Jing.

Li Jing listened to Luo Su's praise repeatedly, not a little excited, but only scared, the previous praise can be called Luo Su admiring himself, but now the praise is continuous, if he can't detect that something is wrong, then he is a real fool.

And he, Li Jing, although he is not much stronger than Han Xin and Han Wumu in the war, his political sense of smell is still much higher.

Li Jing interrupted Luo Su's words with a wry smile and said, "National teacher, please don't kill your subordinates like this again, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." ”

Hearing this, Luo Su slowly put away the gentle expression on his face, and his words became as if there was a collision and friction of the sound of gold and stone, "What does Dai Guogong think will be the end of his future in Datang, or rather, in the future of Zhenguan, when does Dai Guogong think he will be reused?"

Does Dai Guogong want to fight? ”

This sentence directly asked Li Jing.

He is a peerless commander, so he naturally wants to use war to forge his prestige, for example, this war to annihilate the Winter Turks directly lifted him into the ranks of the ancient famous generals, Li Jing of course wants to fight.

But Li Shimin did not like to fight, the first priority during the Zhenguan period was to govern the people's livelihood, every time it was necessary to fight, it was someone who provoked and advised to no avail, and when the war situation was ripe, the Son of Heaven would start a war.

The most important thing is that even if he starts a war, he will not necessarily be in command.

Now that the Son of Heaven is cultivating a new generation of generals, it is an obvious move, and the older generation of generals, even Wei Chigong's cronies, are no longer on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Li Jing was a little confused for a while, yes, where is his future?

"Please also ask the national teacher to teach me!"

Li Jing pushed the golden mountain and fell to the ground like a jade pillar, kowtowing to Luo Su, hoping to get an answer from Luo Su.

The corners of Luo Su's mouth twitched slightly, and he said softly: "Hurry up, you don't have to worry, I see your longevity, you are a long-lived person, and there are still many years to go." ”

Although Luo Su didn't say anything, Li Jing was relieved in his heart, because he heard that Luo Su had an arrangement for him.

This person is not afraid of being arranged, not afraid of being used, afraid of not being used, just like Luo Su said just now, useful people will not be abandoned, and useless people will be discarded.

Li Jing also left the Lingtian Pavilion, and then Luo Xuanye walked out from behind the screen and sat opposite Luo Su, with a trace of doubt on his face, not understanding why the ancestor let him come here to watch such a conversation.

Luo Su groaned for a while, and then carefully looked along Luo Xuanye's eyebrows, frowned slightly, and flashed, "Some time ago, the queen gave birth to another daughter, and the Son of Heaven is very fond of this princess." ”

It's really pampered.

was born less than a year old, and made an exception to be named the princess, and it was also Jinyang, which was Li Tang's Longxing land, and only Chang'an and Luoyang could surpass Jinyang in political status.

But why did you suddenly talk about the princess?

Wasn't he talking about Li Jing just now?

Luo Su said softly: "Everything in this world is because of people, and people do things from the heart, and the heart is emotional, so every queen's child is worthy of our attention."

You said that Princess Jinyang and your second son Jun Zhuo are not compatible? ”

Luo Xuanye's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he groaned slightly, "Actually, His Majesty told me about this a few days ago, saying that at Jun Zhuo's first birthday banquet, if you give birth to a girl, you will marry Jun Zhuo."

Later, I really gave birth to a princess, this is Jinyang and Jun Zhuo have a fate, and they want to marry me again, I said that after Jinyang is one year old, I will discuss it, but depending on His Majesty's meaning, this family affair is probably necessary.

He believes that things are man-made in governing the country, but in other aspects, he believes in the will of heaven and fate, and that day Jun Zhuo handed him the book and the sword, and said that sentence without a teacher, which made His Majesty believe that Jun Zhuo was given to the Tang Dynasty by God and given to him. ”

Luo Su glanced back at Luo Xuanye, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Li Jing if you let Li Jing be the crown prince?" ”

Let Li Jing be the prince and young guard?

That is naturally suitable, there is no one else in the court who is more qualified than Li Jing, but, "Old Ancestor, are you so optimistic about the crown prince?" ”

After Li Chengqian's young master of the crown prince passed away some time ago, the three wives and three young masters of the prince's East Palace now only have Luo Xuanye, which is obviously inappropriate, but the Son of Heaven does not seem to have the intention of re-choosing in a short time

Luo Xuanye is the crown prince and the prince, this is because Li Shimin wants to teach the prince himself, but he knows that the old ancestor will not look down on Li Chengqian because he is the prince and the prince.

Now that the old ancestor took the initiative to say that he would let Li Jing make Luo Xuanye the crown prince and strengthen the power of the prince's East Palace, except for being optimistic about Li Chengqian, Luo Xuanye could not find any other reason.

Who knew that Luo Su said leisurely, "In the prince's East Palace, there are a group of marginal people, and it is nothing to add another marginal person to enter." ”

This sentence instantly made Luo Xuanye's face change greatly, a marginal person!

At the beginning, in order to reconcile, Li Shimin stuffed many people who had built the East Palace of Li Chengqian into Li Chengqian's East Palace to show their reuse.

I didn't think anything about it before, but now that Luo Su said this, I felt very wrong in an instant.

Luo Su thought of Wei Zheng again, if it is said that in the world of Zhenguan, who is the prime minister who is most valued by Li Shimin, it must be Wei Zheng, in case Wei Zheng is put into the East Palace again.

Luo Xuanye's face changed again, if those people outside who knew something about Luo Xuanye saw that King Zhou Jun, who had always been expressionless, his face changed again and again, he would definitely feel incredible.

"Ancestor, what do you mean? Please let me know. ”

Luo Su slowly opened his eyes, looked at Luo Xuanye, stared at his face, looked at it carefully, and said for a long time: "I only have a vague idea, about this matter, what the future holds, I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a look." ”

After that, Luo Su meditated again, and the hall was silent for a while.
