"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

Lu Shen wanted to speak and stopped, which was a rare situation for him.

Such hesitation is naturally because in the music in his hand, Li Tianrun analyzed the situation in Jiangbei very thoroughly, more detailed than what he had just said, and at the same time put forward a very comprehensive combat strategy.

He was very aware of Li Tianrun's condition, and Xue Huaiyi had clearly told him before that the lesions in Li Tianrun's body could no longer be cured, and he only had a life span of one or two years at most.

Lu Shen didn't dare to mention this matter in front of Li Bingxue, and at the same time hoped that Old Doctor Xue could find a way to cure the disease, but according to Li Tianrun's strategy stated in this chapter, the overall situation of Jiangbei could only be pressed on his shoulders alone, and he had to withstand the high pressure brought by Qing Yugong, which was undoubtedly extremely devastating to his body.

Reason told him that compared with the strategy he envisioned of a strong man breaking his arm, exchanging Dingzhou's vast territory for a strategic advantage, Li Tianrun's strategy was obviously better.

Lu Shen said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty......"

Lu Shen responded: "Thank you for your majesty's seat." ”

Lu Shen was stunned.

Li Duan shook his head slightly, and then said slowly: "But compared to the bait thrown by Li Tianrun, I think Emperor Jingguo and Qing Yugong must care more about one other thing. ”

Lu Shen subconsciously admonished: "Your Majesty, if it is freezing today, your body has not yet recovered, in case you go outside and catch a cold, how can the minister afford it?" Please Your Majesty, for the sake of the minister's shoulders being so thin, don't go out for the time being, and it's not too late to enjoy it when the spring flowers bloom. ”

Lu Shen saw a son of heaven who was slightly different from the past.

But emotionally speaking, although Li Tianrun did not give Lu Shen the care of his own son like Xiao Wangzhi, he also taught Lu Shen a lot of very useful truths, which had a great impact on the formation of his military style.

Li Daoyan and Han Lingfu, the faces of these two old men appeared in Lu Shen's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

Li Duan continued: "The way to escape south was extremely embarrassing, and I only had two loyal servants by my side during the most difficult time. However, this is not the most profound part of my memory, I will never be able to forget, those people of Daqi who died under the butcher's knife of the Jing army's iron cavalry, those white bones who exposed their corpses in the wilderness and no one cared about, and those hard-working people who sold their sons and daughters in order to survive and exchange for a piece of bread. ”

Hearing these words, Lu Shen felt extremely sad, lowered his head and said, "The minister will accompany His Majesty to go out for a walk." ”

Lu Shen kept reminding the internal supervisors to walk slower and more steadily.

"Every time I think about it, I can't sleep."

At this moment, his voice was extremely low and gloomy.

All in all, it was indeed extremely difficult to get Lu Shen to agree to the request in this recital.

He had already read this recital before, so he naturally knew the content of the recital, and he also understood why Lu Shen was entangled.

Li Duan's expression was gentle, and his gaze was extremely kind at this moment, and he continued: "Of course I won't play tricks like cheating death, I am the son of the Great Qi Heaven, how can I take the reputation of the Heavenly Family as a child's play?" It's just that... Lu Shen, I really won't live long, instead of lying in bed and struggling to survive, it is better to take this opportunity to set up a game for the enemy in the north. ”

Lu Shen listened quietly, in fact, he was also very curious about this king's past.

"There is nothing wrong with being an idle prince, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, you are prosperous and rich, and there is no pressure to help the common people. At that time, I thought that maybe this life would be like this, it was a mess in life, and it was not worth mentioning after death. ”

"Yes, Father."

After a while, Lu Shen said calmly: "Your Majesty's intention, it may be within Qing Yugong's expectation that Governor Li will lead the army to battle?" ”

"At that time, fortunately, the Xu family had a lot of financial resources, and my father-in-law finally gave me a chance to go out of Beijing and leave Heluo in the name of inspecting the disaster situation in the current Dingzhou area. I killed a group of corrupt officials and punished a group of illegal businessmen in Dingzhou, but this is just a drop in the bucket for Daqi. In the eleventh year of Yuankang, Jing's army broke through Heluo, and at the same time sent troops to Dingzhou to chase and kill me, a fish that slipped through the net. So I fled all the way south, from Dingzhou to Huaizhou, and then from Huaizhou to the south, first to Xinzhou, then to Daozhou, Hezhou, Huzhou, and finally stopped at Yongjia City, because I met Zuo Xiang and Jing Guogong here. ”

Li Duan's face softened slightly, and he said slowly: "For fourteen years, I have been admonishing myself to remember the lessons of the previous emperor, and now it seems that I have done a good job?" ”

"These are the tragic things I have seen with my own eyes, and there are many tragedies that I have never experienced firsthand, such as the dozens of massacres of cities caused by the Jing army in the land of Jiangbei. The Jinglian people are indeed cruel and tyrannical, but the root cause of all this is not them, but the Li royal family, who hold the supreme authority. ”

"I'm not sure."

"I'm very happy to get your evaluation."

Li Duan bowed slightly, but did not give a direct reply, turned his head and said, "The prince will go to Zhongshu to do things." ”

"When the emperor was here, I couldn't get into his eyes when I was a child. Mo said that the second brother who was made the crown prince, and the status of the other brothers was also far above me. I still remember that it was the second year of Yuankang, the eldest had just been born, and I happily entered the palace to ask for a meeting, thinking that the emperor would also be happy, but I ended up eating a closed door. It was then that I knew that I was just an insignificant idle prince in Heluo City. ”

There is a moon-viewing pavilion in the Imperial Garden, which is built on a gentle slope, which is the highest point in the garden, and you can enjoy the scenery on all sides. Outside the pavilion, only the south side has a gravel path, and the other three sides are planted with exotic flowers and plants. If it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, you can see the flowers blooming here, as if in the painting.

Li Duan smiled and said, "You say, in the eyes of those two people in the north, is the impact of the death of the Great Qi Emperor greater?" Maybe the border army of Daqi will immediately be disheartened after hearing the news, and they will be vulnerable on the battlefield. ”

He said seriously: "Your Majesty, the past is over, and your food and clothing over the years are enough to be worthy of hundreds of millions of people in Daqi. ”

Li Duan smiled slightly, and then changed the topic and said: "You mentioned before that a strong man broke his arm, and Li Tianrun also asked to use him as bait in the recital, both methods have their own advantages, but I think there may be a better way." ”

Li Duan pointed to the stone bench next to him and said, "Sit." ”

Lu Shen's heart moved, and his face was a little heavy.

"Don't panic."

It's the end of November now, so naturally I can't see that kind of grand scene, but a little desolate and desolate.

Not to mention the existence of strong ice and snow.

Li Duan looked at the dead wood in his sight, and said slowly: "I don't understand the art of war and military, and I have never pointed fingers at the generals' strategies over the years, as long as most people agree, I will allow it to be implemented." I know the truth of being outside, so I have always given Li, Xiao and others a lot of autonomy, and tried to free them from worries. It's just that this time I will still veto Li Tianrun's invitation, not only because I hope he can live for two more years, but also because I feel that Qing Yugong will not be easily fooled. ”

Lu Shen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Some are weak, some are melancholy.

As long as Li Tianrun shows his flaws, Qing Yugong should not give up the opportunity to defeat him head-on.

Li Duan slowly sat up from the couch, looked at Lu Shen and said, "Accompany me for a walk in the palace." ”

After a while, Lu Shen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this strategy of Governor Li is feasible. ”

The hall was very quiet, Li Duan did not urge, and the prince stood with his eyes and nose and nose observing.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at the decaying imperial garden in winter, and were speechless for a long time.

"You have thin shoulders?"

Lu Shen didn't quite understand the deep reason why he changed from "I" to "I", but he still said with a straight face: "The minister doesn't dare to talk about the king, but the minister dares to say that His Majesty is definitely a good emperor." ”

He could imagine what the appearance of these two people meant to the Son of Heaven in that chaotic environment where everyone was in danger.

After a while, Li Duan, who had added thick clothes and put on a big coat, sat down on the chariot, Lu Shen followed cautiously, and the group left the Wenhe Hall and went to the Imperial Garden in the northwest.

Li Duan's tone was very flat, and it seemed to have a hint of self-deprecation.

Li Duan clasped his hands in his sleeves, breathed in the air that seemed to be exceptionally fresh and a little cold, and slowly opened the conversation.

Lu Shen replied honestly: "I don't know. ”

Li Duan paused suddenly, turned his head and asked, "Do you know what my biggest feeling was at that time?" ”

Li Duan's smile was as usual.

"That's right."

Li Duan leaned on the soft pillow, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Shen, who was as verbose as an old woman, with a faint smile on his lips.

Li Duan said in a deep voice: "I'm wondering why the first emperor knew that the people of Daqi were suffering from internal and external troubles, but he never refused to change the slightest. Heluo City is drunk with money, the magnates sing every night, and the poor people in ragged clothes can be seen everywhere on the streets. On one side is the feast piled up by the mountains of gold and silver, and on the other side is the clear porridge like white water in the bowls of the people, I don't think this is right. But I couldn't do anything, because it was difficult for me to even see the face of the emperor, and I didn't have the qualifications to speak out in front of him, so I could only choose to escape. ”

Li Zongben respectfully saluted and retired.

Li Duan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "I know that I am talking nonsense in front of me, and now I am a dignified military minister who is not doing a proper job." It's okay to be cold outside, just wear a few more clothes. To tell you the truth, I have been detained in the palace by the two prime ministers and the crown prince during this time, and I haven't seen the scenery outside for a long time, do you want to detain me too? ”

Li Tianrun's strategy was based on two important reasons, one of which was that the Jingzhou Army took the initiative to attack, which was a rare opportunity for Qing Yugong to compete head-on. The second is that Qing Yugong has a knot, the battle of Mengshan was the first time that the Jing army suffered a fiasco of losing more than 10,000 main forces, and the commander of the Jing army at that time was Qing Yugong's father Qing Yuding.

The inner prisoners carried their chariots to the rather spacious pavilion, lowered them with great care, and then bowed and withdrew.

"Wouldn't it be a great pleasure in life to let the arrogant and domineering Jing Jun be martyred for me?"

He chuckled softly.
