Lin Shan looked at the woman in front of him, he really had the bearing of the lord of a state.

Looking at her, and thinking about Xie Zhan who started an incident in Lingnan, Lin Shan thought to himself that she and Xie Zhan, the former fiancée, were really powerful.

Lin Shan didn't dare to think that if there were no twists and turns in the marriage between the two, if the two joined forces, Dali would be subverted.

Lu Songli's words just now were enough to reassure him, and he observed along the way that there was indeed no chaos in Pingzhou, so their industry could not be dealt with first.

"Deputy Gang Leader Lin, I heard that there have been rampant bandits on the sea recently?" Lu Songli suddenly asked Lin Shan a question.

Speaking of this, Lin Shan wanted to sigh. Those water bandits don't know if they know that the imperial court is currently taking care of itself, and it has indeed been frequently dispatched recently.

Lu Songli pondered for a moment and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, you know that we trained a navy army in Pingzhou before. In order for the business of your Cao Gang not to be affected, we in Pingzhou can send troops to escort your cargo ships. I have this proposal, Deputy Gang Leader Lin can think about it. ”

Lin Shan: ??? What does Lu Songli want to do? And why did the topic turn to this?

Lu Songli didn't care that he hadn't reacted yet, and continued, "I sent them out to help you defend against the bandits, you only need to take care of their food during the period, and you don't need to pay wages." ”

Lin Shan: "What's so embarrassing?" ”

"It's okay, our Pingzhou and your Cao Gang have been cooperating happily, and you are also an old friend with Deputy Gang Leader Lin. Your Cao Gang is in trouble, and we in Pingzhou can't sit idly by. Lu Songli said righteously, "I just hope that both of us will always be good." ”

Lin Shan also began to seriously consider her suggestion, "How many people does Pingzhou plan to lend us?" ”

"How many do you need?"

Lin Shan was also very entangled, this was the first time such a thing, and there was no precedent.

"Why don't we lend you an army of two hundred men first?"

"Okay." Lin Shan thought of a question, and stopped talking a little, "The water bandits are all outlaws, and this shipping is very dangerous......"

Lu Songli knew what he was worried about, "Don't worry, we are at the risk of life and death." It's just that the command of this 200-person force can't be handed over to your Cao Gang. ”

This Lin Shan thought about it, after all, what if the person who took the command directly didn't take other people's lives?

"But Deputy Gang Leader Lin, I have a question to ask clearly."

"President Lu, please speak."

"How many boats are you going to use to house our two hundred?"

Lin Shan estimated it and gave a number, "Give you two small wheels." In normal times, sailors can also enter our building boat to rest. ”

Lu Songli shook her head, "Give us two sailboats and two wheels." ”

Lin Shan was about to speak, but Lu Songli said directly, "This ship should be rented by our Pingzhou and your Cao Gang." "Actual combat drills, how can you do without a ship?

"Of course, if you Cao Gang are willing to sell, we can buy it too."

Lin Shan: Wealthy, really wealthy!

So, the two had a friendly negotiation on this matter.

Changan

Prince Gong and his entourage returned to Chang'an.

As soon as he returned, Prince Gong ignored his illness and staggered to his knees in front of the palace gate to plead guilty.

Song Mo ignored it at first.

When he was about to summon him later, the palace people found that he had already cut himself, and at noon, a line of blood was written on the ground in front of the corpse: The old minister did not complete the emperor's entrustment, and he had no face, so he apologized for his crime with death.

When Song Mo found out, he was furious.

Prince Gong's death was like a slap in the face, slapping into Song Mo's face.

Xiao Qun and other ministers did not dare to say anything.

Song Mo was so angry that he wanted to dispose of all Prince Gong's family, but he was stopped by the minister.

Song Mo was so angry that he recuperated for two days.

In the afternoon of this day, Song Mo woke up with a splitting headache, recently they were discussing where to use troops first, and each one really had their own reasons.

When he woke up, Liang Anle came in to serve.

Song Mo frowned, and listened to him say, "Your Majesty, do you know? Mrs. Xiao and the others received the latest news that the first person in charge of Pingzhou turned out to be a woman. ”

Hearing this, Song Mo was surprised, "Isn't it Lu Desheng?" ”

Damn, it's not him, why is he rebelling so hard? Song Mo still remembers the crusade against him published by Pingzhou.

Liang settled for a moment, "It's not him, it's his daughter, the second daughter Lu Songli." ”

Lu Songli? Song Mo didn't know why at this time, he suddenly remembered something, at that time, he was at a critical moment of seizing the heir, Xue Huaimin had suggested to him that after everything settled, let him include Lu Songli in the harem, but he refused.

At this moment, Song Mo couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart.

Soon, Song Mo packed up and came to the imperial study.

After a salute, Xiao Qun was the first to say, "Your Majesty, Pingzhou's move shows that there should have been infighting between Qin and Lu in order to compete for the right to speak. ”

Well?

Xiao Qun analyzed, "Tui Lu Songli is just the result of a compromise between the Qin and Lu families. ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao's words are not unreasonable. At present, the Qin and Lu families have one article and one martial arts, and they are in partnership to fight the world, but there is only one main seat, and the Lu family wants to sit, doesn't the Qin family want to? Shen Wan didn't believe it.

Xiao Qun continued, "If Lu Desheng sits up, the Qin family will not be convinced, and if Qin Heng sits up, the Lu family will definitely disagree, the key to the connection is Qin Sheng and Lu Songli and his wife, and the person in charge can only choose from the two." ”

Shen Wan answered, "Yes, with Lu Desheng's character, even if he chooses Qin Sheng as his son-in-law, he will still feel at a loss." Only by choosing Lu Songli, Lu Desheng can agree, and the Qin family can also accept it. ”

Song Mo: "But I heard that this woman is not like ordinary women, and she is quite capable of wrists. ”

"There must be some ability, at least on the surface, you have to be reasonable, so that you can sit on the throne of this state."

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that troops should not be used in Pingzhou for the time being." At this time, Sang Baiqing said.

Song Mo groaned and did not express his position.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Sang said is extremely true, Pingzhou first rebelled and betrayed Dali, and now he has chosen a female hostess, who is simply a chicken Si Chen, ignoring the Gangchang etiquette law! If you do such perverse behavior, you will not last long. Don't be afraid. ”

They felt that Pingzhou at this time must be in a hurry.

"When a woman is in power, she is the way to her own destruction." When Xiao Qun said this, his face was full of hatred.

Song Mo thought about it for a while, and agreed with the words of the two ministers, how could a man with the ability in the world be willing to prostrate and condescend to a woman?

"If there is no foreign enemy in Pingzhou at this time, the internal contradictions will inevitably intensify, and if we send troops to attack Pingzhou at this time, the two families will inevitably abandon their prejudices and unite with the outside world." This is the reason why these ministers did not approve of the first use of troops against Pingzhou.

What's more, Pingzhou Youzhou is located in the northeast, as long as they don't go west, it's not unbearable, and Xianbei, who is currently nesting in the north and Liangzhou, is the same.

"If you don't fight Pingzhou, then hit Xie Zhan."

"Yes."

So, after a few days of deliberation, the imperial court unanimously decided to use troops against Lingnan first.
