After Li Yi left, Li Xiaogong suddenly showed a tired expression.

"I found out after all."

"Although we already knew that we couldn't hide for long, we found it too early."

"Your Majesty is still in the peak of spring and autumn."

Li Xiaogong muttered and looked in the direction of the palace, it was no problem to support Li Kuan, he was afraid that after Li Kuan found out, he couldn't help his youthful spirit and waved his knife at Li Shimin, who was in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The relationship network is very powerful, but this strength was useless in Li Shimin's heyday in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it can even be said that if Li Shimin is not sure that he is dying, he is basically useless.

No matter how strong the network is, it can't withstand the prestige of a Ming monarch recognized by everyone.

After hesitating, Li Xiaogong decided to go to someone to ask for advice.

As soon as Wei Zheng returned home, the housekeeper told him that Li Xiaogong invited him to drink.

Wei Zheng and Li Xiaogong can be said to be really unfamiliar.

The two of them don't usually have much contact.

However, the more this kind of unfamiliar person suddenly invites, the more Wei Zheng has to go, he is looking for you, usually there is something really going on, not a joke.

Sighing, Wei Zheng decisively agreed.

A wine table for only two people.

After the maids finished dancing and dancing, Li Xiaogong withdrew from everyone and said bluntly: "The king of Chu wants to see all the properties under his name." ”

Wei Zheng suddenly had a headache, rubbed his temples, and said with a wry smile: "It's finally going to be exposed." ”

"It's just a little early."

For Wei Zheng, exposure is sooner or later, that is, sooner or later.

He is now worried about the same problem as Li Xiaogong, afraid that Li Kuan will swell.

"What's the explanation?"

"This game is made by you, and naturally it is up to you to round it."

Li Xiaogong's voice was full of coldness, he was a passive existence in the game, so he naturally needed to ask about these people who started the game.

Wei Zheng smiled, without any panic, picked up the wine glass, and said confidently: "You just need to go over and talk to him." ”

"Even, you can tell him everything you know, and then the king of Chu will definitely act as if he doesn't know anything."

"Maybe he'll come up with a good deal that keeps us all together more by his side."

Wei Zheng thought about his contact with Li Kuan when he was in Chunzhou, and said this with a smile.

At the beginning, he also thought that the King of Chu would be inflated, but when he turned his head, he threw this idea out of his mind, a guy who believed in being kind to people from the beginning, probably did not have the word swelling in his character.

Li Xiaogong frowned and looked at Wei Zheng dissatisfied, you guys who started the game are like this?

Isn't it a bit irresponsible.

Dissatisfaction brewed in Li Xiaogong's heart, he was really unhappy, and he was unhappy with Wei Zheng and others' practices to the extreme.

Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Have you ever remembered the reason why the Xuanwu Gate happened?" ”

"Root cause."

"You substitute Your Majesty into the Emperor Taishang, and the King of Chu into the Qin Palace."

Li Xiaogong took a deep breath, fell silent, closed his eyes, thought for a while, and after a while, he opened his eyes in shock.

At this time, Li Kuan is very similar to Li Shimin in the Qin Palace, with the same high skills, the same people feel threatened, but they are also the same forbearance in the early stage.

But it's different.

Li Kuan and Li Chengqian have affection.

Your Majesty is not the emperor, and Your Majesty did not let people squeeze Li Kuan.

And substituting the situation back then, Li Xiaogong got an answer, as long as Li Shimin does not run on Li Kuan, then Li Kuan will honestly do his best for Datang until Li Shimin dies.

For this group of people in Li Kuan's network, after Li Shimin was killed, they had no loyal emperor, and they could naturally choose a favorite emperor to come to power.

With a long sigh, Li Xiaogong nodded tiredly, and said softly: "Okay, on my way to the Western Regions, when I pass by Shuofang, I will personally talk to the King of Chu, hoping that he can be as you expected, so that we will all be fine." ”

Wei Zheng shrugged, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Li Kuan, he is relieved.

Subsequently, Wei Zheng asked about another thing: "By the way, if you go to the Western Regions this time, is there anything you need to prepare, after all, we are in the same camp, so I will prepare it for you." ”

"From the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Household to the three provinces, the materials needed can be mobilized."

Li Xiaogong shook his head, there was nothing to prepare, he didn't know what the piece of Central Asia had become, and what was the use of preparing.

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said: "Shuofang and Dingxiang should have a large number of military material reserves, and then you write a letter to apply for materials and meat, and our three provinces have approved it for you, you take a batch of meat from the grassland pasture and take it to the Western Regions to reward the army." ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, this can be had, and then Li Xiaogong frowned and asked: "What is going on in the Western Regions, why did Your Majesty suddenly call me, the person who sent the assignment, back, and isn't Hou Junji also there?" ”

Li Xiaogong was thrown into the sea by Li Shentong to build the island of the Li family's royal family before, but this time he was called back by Li Shimin on the grounds that there was not enough manpower.

Li Xiaogong just briefly learned about the battle report in the Western Regions.

Wei Zheng's eyes flickered, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "There are several veterans of the Sui Dynasty in the family who are still alive, do you know?" ”

Li Xiaogong's body was shocked, he knew that some generals of the Sui Dynasty were from families, but what this sentence meant was that some people who thought they were dead were still alive?

"I won't name names, you just need to know that they can command more than 100,000 people."

"The current situation is that these old people who were originally dead can't die anymore, and they need someone who can be trusted by the family and His Majesty to go to the Western Regions to preside over the overall military situation."

Li Xiaogong took a deep breath, he understood.

He is truly a man who can be trusted by both sides.

After all, the Li family in Taiyuan is now also in the Western Regions.

At the same time, Li Xiaogong also understood why the family was not afraid of fighting outward at the beginning, it turned out that they still had a group of veterans in their hands.

From the Sui Dynasty to the present, it has only been 20 years in total, and it is normal that a group of old people in their fifties and sixties are still alive at that time.

After calming down, Wei Zheng continued: "The previous battle between the family and Sassanid Persia was also very tragic, and the troops of both sides were 100,000, and after the battle, the main battle generals of both sides were exhausted. ”

"You can understand what's in between."

Exhausted?

The word is good.

Li Xiaogong couldn't help but mock: "On our side, I understand that an old man of seventy or eighty years old will run out of energy in a big war. ”

"The one on the other side is also tired, so that means that the generals of Sassanid Persia have broken off?"

"Sassanid Persia, this is the last empire?"

The commanders of the war are often in the prime of life, with peak energy and experience.

And in an empire, the generals who fought 100,000 people in the war are veterans, which means that they can't get the peak generals in their prime.

If you can't take it out, it means that the generals are out of generation, so what else to talk about, just fight a few games, send the veterans of the other side away, strangle the young generals, and then send them to the west.

Li Xiaogong instantly understood that Li Shimin was in a hurry to let him pass, and he didn't have to worry about the reason why the family was pulling back.

The family was probably more excited than he was when he discovered the weakness of Sassanid Persia.

Eager to support him, he killed all the generals of Sassanid Persia in one wave and abolished the other side.

Seeing that Li Xiaogong moved, Wei Zheng didn't say anything anymore, these things can't be easily spread outside, and they are easy to cause turmoil within them.

Kill Sassanid Persia, and the family can become a landdoer and become the overlord of Central Asia.

Now in the court, many officials are waiting with their eyes open, envious of the situation of the family, if the family is so smooth, many officials are estimated to run.

The reason is, who doesn't have ambitions anymore.
