In the afternoon, Hongyi Palace.

Shangzhu Guo, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department of the southeast road, took a carriage to the Qin Palace, and happened to meet Huo Guogong, the right Xiaowei general Chai Shao, and Cao Guogong Li Shiyun, the two got off the horse and greeted each other, and after seeing his carriage coming, they looked over together.

"Huo Gong, Cao Gong."

Li Jing got out of the carriage and gave the two of them a salute.

"General."

"General Lee!"

Li Shichang and Chai Shao also returned the salute, and Chai Shao sighed: "I haven't seen General Li for three years, right?" ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Qin led the army to attack Luoyang, you and I have been under His Royal Highness's account together, and we have indeed not seen each other for three years. ”

Chai Shao was full of emotion.

At first, Li Jing was only a personal soldier in Erlang's mansion, and when he beat Xue Ju, he was only a small achievement, and after pacifying Wang Shichong, he was able to open a mansion, leaving the Qin Palace, leading the army alone, and soon after he and Li Xiaogong destroyed the Southern Liang, and now he is going to lead the army to fight against the auxiliary Gongqi.

Meritorious service, now is not what it used to be.

The three of them entered the Hongyi Palace and came to the banquet palace under the guidance of the attendants.

After entering, Li Jing saw Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Zhongyu Wenshi, and the uncle of King Qin, Sun Wuji, his wife's uncle Gao Shilian, plus the military generals of the Qin Palace, Tiance Mansion and others.

Many of them were known to Li Jing, and a few who couldn't recognize them could quickly deduce that they were bachelors in the Literature Museum.

There was only one young man sitting opposite the eldest grandson Wuji, who was in the chief, which made Li Jing suspicious.

"Who is this person?"

Li Jing was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was not ordinary, he was in the place and was not a secular person, and the hermit in the mountains was afraid that he had never been so unique.

After sitting down, Li Jing asked Cheng Yanjin next to him in a low voice: "Biting Jin, who is he?" ”

Cheng Yanjin was born in Wagangzhai, has a bold personality, has a wide range of friends, and Li Jing is also quite familiar with him.

Feng Deyi next to him looked over.

Li Jing also glanced at him, this person was originally a member of the Sui Dynasty's internal history, and now he is an internal history servant, and he is also a subordinate official of Tiance Mansion, and he also came to the banquet today.

"How do I know!"

Cheng Yanjin glanced at the man, "Look at his hair an inch long and wearing strange clothes, I'm afraid he is not a monk who has just returned to the vulgar." ”

Li Jing looked around for a while, and then didn't ask any more.

Soon after, everyone arrived, and the banquet began.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, after singing and dancing, the musicians and dancers all retreated.

Everyone put down their wine glasses and chopsticks one after another and looked at King Qin.

"I invite you here today because I want to ask you about something."

King Qin first looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "The pharmacist served as the pacification ambassador of Lingnan Province, pacified Lingnan, and made hundreds of thousands of people submit to obedience, which made great contributions. ”

"Respectively!?"

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what he meant.

King Qin looked around and said in a deep voice: "Since the world was calmed down, there was a gap between me and the prince because of the villain, and the anger was deep, and His Majesty also saw it in his eyes, and did not want to see my brother turn against him, so he ordered me to go out of Chang'an and go to Luoyang to build the banner of the Son of Heaven, such as King Liang Xiao of the Han Dynasty." ”

Everyone was surprised again, but this time, Cheng Yanjin and the others were quite surprised, and they all agreed to go to Luoyang!

Feng Deyi's face was suspicious, he didn't know about it, and neither did the prince.

King Qin said again: "I tried every possible way to refuse, but my father still insisted that I go, so I had to accept it and leave for Luoyang three days later." ”

When Li Jing saw it, the young man laughed, as if he knew something.

"Today's banquet is to ask you, are there anyone who is willing to go to Luoyang with me?"

King Qin asked everyone, and then said: "If you are willing to stay in Chang'an, I will enter the palace tomorrow to recommend you to my father and emperor as officials!" ”

When the words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Du Ruhui and others all stood up and bowed, "I am willing to follow His Highness!" ”

The scholars in the Literature Museum also stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to go to Luoyang with King Qin.

Li Jing, Li Shixian, Feng Deyi, Qu Tutong, Gao Shilian, Yu Wenshi and others were all sitting, and they were not the staff of the two governments.

But King Qin's words were also said to them.

So, after the eldest grandson Wuji and the others sat down, Qu Tutong bowed to the King of Qin and said, "I am also willing to go to Luoyang with His Royal Highness, and I will write another letter tomorrow, please allow Your Majesty." ”

Gao Shilian is the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji's brother, and raised the two of them, and now that the two are gone, he naturally followed him to Luoyang.

Feng Deyi wanted to say the same thing, but when he saw that Yu Wenshi had not spoken, he also closed his mouth.

Everyone was quiet, and Li Shiyun said: "In the past years when I was in the Tiger Prison Pass, His Royal Highness personally passed on the medical skills of our army and saved countless brothers in Wagangzhai, and now you are all willing to follow His Highness, I am not bored to drink alone in Chang'an, just wait for the fight to finish the Fu Gong Yi, and then I will go to Luoyang on Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay, that's a good brother!"

Cheng Biting Jin patted his leg in approval, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Xiongxin is not in Chang'an, and he was sent out of the field as an official by the prince under the pretext of being an official." ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and did not take the topic of the prince.

Yu Wenshi smiled at King Qin and said, "If His Highness feels that there are not enough people after going to Luoyang, even if you write a letter, I will be happy to go!" ”

Li Shimin agreed with a smile.

Among the crowd, only Feng Deyi, Li Jing, and Chai Shao did not open their mouths.

As for Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, it is not counted.

Li Jing noticed that the short-haired young man was looking at him, as if asking Fang Xuanling next to him, and glanced at him again before he smiled and nodded at him.

"Are you asking who I am?"

Li Jing's doubts about him still haven't disappeared, and everyone in the Qin Wangfu and Tiance Mansion seems to think that he doesn't exist, but he is the first to sit under the Qin King, before Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Jing wanted to excuse himself for the time being, but seeing that Feng Deyi beside him had not spoken, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't say anything more.

King Qin did not ask, and ordered hot wine and another song and dance.

When the feast was over, everyone took their leave.

Li Jing excused himself and asked Li Shiyun, Yu Wenshi and others to go back first, and he asked to see the King of Qin again.

The attendant went to tell the truth, and after a while, Li Jing returned to the hall.

Before the banquet was over, King Qin sat there and smiled at him, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Du Ruhui and other soldiers and staff of the two governments were there.

The young man looked at him as well.

"Your Highness."

Li Jing didn't beat around the bush, and said directly after saluting: "Just now I saw that a subordinate official of Tiance Mansion did not agree to go to Luoyang, so I came back to talk to King Qin. ”

"Who is it?"

Li Shimin asked.

"You don't know who it is?" The young man laughed and teased King Qin, "Your banquet is to test everyone, and now that Li Jing-General Li is back, you directly ask him if he supports you!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed, got up and asked Li Jing to sit down, and apologized to him.

Li Jing didn't sit down immediately, facing the young man who had just spoken, and bowed: "Dare to ask Your Excellency ......?" ”

Just now, the other party called him by his name, and then changed his words.

Li Shimin said: "The pharmacist only calls him sir." ”

"Sir?"

Li Jing raised his head and looked at the young man, and finally had a conjecture in his heart, and his eyes revealed a little shock.

The medical book that caused Luoyang to be expensive, the grains and vegetables that spread all over the north and south of the river, and the maps of battles in the army, finally have a history!

"Don't worry about me."

Chu Zhen smiled at Li Jing, "Now I don't have anything to do when I come to Chang'an, I just have to take a look." ”

After a pause, Chu Zhen said to Li Shimin: "Feng Deyi is said to be betting on both sides of the Qin Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion...... Called Yin to hold both ends, he definitely did not want to go to Luoyang. ”

Li Jinggang sat down, and when he heard this, he was as surprised as everyone else.

Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Everyone knows about my feud with the prince, and it's okay if he knows." ”

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, I can't go to Luoyang, and I'm destined to work in vain." ”

In fact, it's not a guess, it's a historical record.

But everyone in the hall didn't know, they looked at it one after another, and Cheng Yanjin immediately said: "It must be the crown prince and the king of Qi who are sowing discord from it, the king, now that your staff and soldiers have begun to be expelled one by one, you can't wait any longer!" ”

Wei Chigong also agreed.

Chu Zhen saw that Li Shimin focused his eyes on Li Jing.

Chu Zhen could only sigh one more sentence:

I believe you're a ghost!

The "waiting" in Li Shimin's mouth is not waiting, but testing, wooing, silently leveling, and waiting to exert his strength when fighting the boss.

Today, under the pretext of leaving Chang'an, he invited Li Jing and others to come, which was to test his opinions with Li Shiyun, Yu Wenshi, Qu Tutong and others, these people had a good relationship with the Qin Palace, but Li Shimin did not know their specific thoughts, so he invited them to try to ask.

Today, Qu Tutong directly expressed his willingness to go to Luoyang, and Li Shimin knew that he was a person who could participate in major events.

And Yu Wenshi said that he would go back in the future, but he intended to follow him, but he did not decide to follow him to the end.

Asking about going to Luoyang, it's not just going to Luoyang.

"Your Highness."

Li Jing said: "I want to ask Mr. something first. ”

Li Shimin looked at him with inquiring eyes.

"General Li, excuse me."

Chu Zhen nodded.

"Dare to ask sir, how to govern the country and the country?"

“……”

Chu Zhen was speechless for a while, and then smiled and said: "You asked me such a big question as soon as you came up, and I couldn't answer you, I don't know anything about governing the country, I only know about it, and governing the country is nothing more than doing three things well." ”

"Please sir!"

Li Shimin said before Li Jing.

Everyone also looked at the mysterious gentleman.

"I can't talk about teaching."

Chu Zhen said: "First, let the people have enough food and warm clothes. ”

Everyone looked at each other, they thought that Mr. would have a high-minded talk, but they didn't expect it to be so straightforward.

"And the second?" Li Shimin asked.

"The second is to protect the people, so that they can eat enough and wear warm clothes with peace of mind."

"The third is also simple, that is, after the people have eaten enough, they can relax and have fun, read books, listen to music, read poems, sing mountain songs, and go to the market to buy good things."

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "In fact, it is agriculture, military, and culture, as far as the Tang Dynasty is concerned, the most important thing is agriculture." ”

Li Shimin nodded, "After having potatoes and other things, the people can grow more grain, which can resist drought and flood disasters to a certain extent, and the vegetables and fruits in the vegetable basket are also more abundant, but the iron pot is still too little." ”

"Have you made a new iron-smelting stove and coke?"

"The Ministry of Industry has implemented it, and it has also found a lot of coal and iron ore, saving a lot of effort to go over the mountains and mountains to find it."

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Now that the production of iron has increased a lot, according to what Mr. said, I sold it to farmers duty-free for my father, as iron pots, shovels, hoes, and ploughs. ”

Chu Zhen nodded, "Iron is not too much at any time, a poor family with a good plow can save a lot of things, and it can also improve productivity, wok ...... What about salt? ”

"Salt is also made using a new method, but unfortunately cotton has not been popularized."

"What is cotton?"

Li Jing finally interjected, he found that the things the two talked about were both familiar and novel, and His Royal Highness had done so many things that were beneficial to the people in private, not only medical books and potatoes.

"Cotton was originally grown in the frontier area,"

Cheng Yanjin shouted, "The king wants each family to grow at least five acres of cotton and tax exemption, but the prince objected and said that it was not good for the farmers. ”

Fang Xuanling explained to Li Jing: "The fruits of cotton are similar to those of kapok, but cotton can be used to weave cloth, which is better to keep warm and has more harvests. ”

If it weren't for His Royal Highness's prompt, Fang Xuanling would not have noticed the efficacy of this crop, there are some planted outside Chang'an City now, he has seen it, and cotton fruits are excellent for weaving.

Li Jing asked again: "I heard that His Royal Highness wants to build a ship and go to sea, why is this?" ”

Because of the shipbuilding, the king of Qin and the crown prince quarreled in the court for a long time, and Li Jing only heard that he was going to transport guano, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Li Shimin explained: "There are guano overseas, and the state has open-pit silver mines! ”

“……”

After listening to the explanation, Li Jing felt that he could not keep up with the policies of His Royal Highness the King of Qin to govern the country and secure the country.

And all of this probably comes from this gentleman.

Li Jing glanced at Chu Zhen deeply, got up and bowed to Li Shimin, and said: "In the dispute between the princes, the ministers should not be involved, this is a family affair of His Royal Highness, but in the current situation, His Royal Highness has a strategy far beyond that of the prince, and the Tang Dynasty has the King of Qin, which is the blessing of the people."

Minister Li Jing, willing to help His Royal Highness fight for the position of prince! ”

Li Shimin was very happy: "If you are a lone pharmacist, most of the things will be done!" ”

Chu Zhen's face was strange, did Li Jing and Li Tao in the history books directly help Li Shimin launch the Xuanwu Gate?

Although Li Shiyun is gone, his words just now that he is willing to go to Luoyang can be seen that he is also willing to help King Qin.

After the feast.

Li Shimin said: "Pharmacist, you leave from the door of the firewood room in the palace, so that no one will be suspicious." ”

Li Jing thought for a moment, "I just got out of the car when I entered the door, and I don't know if anyone noticed that my carriage didn't leave." ”

The people in the temple couldn't get an idea for a while.

Du Ruhui stood up and said, "I will go back to the city with you, and tomorrow His Royal Highness will go hunting, and I will not follow." ”

Chu Zhen glanced at the sky, although it was a dinner party, but it was not yet night, and he could enter the city.
