Chapter Twenty-Five: A Test, Tacitly Written
"You ......," Zhou Wenbo said helplessly, "Do you know that doing this will have a huge adverse impact on the interests of the Zhou family." ”
But Zhou Wen's attitude was very resolute.
After a stalemate, Zhou Wenbo compromised again and sighed: "I want to talk to His Royal Highness the Ten Princes alone." ”
Concubine Yu nodded and left with Zhou Wen.
Only Li Leng and Zhou Wenbo were left in the hall.
"Why did Your Highness do this?" Without a third person present, Zhou Wenbo didn't hide his words.
"Do you think I'm driving a wedge between you and King Yu?" asked Li Leng.
Zhou Wenbo was noncommittal and said: "Your Highness should be clear about the relationship between me and King Yu, but Your Highness still wants to do this, deliberately using half of the cultivation method to seduce my granddaughter, doesn't this still explain His Highness's intentions? If His Highness really has the heart to fulfill my granddaughter, then he should give all the cultivation methods to Wen'er in the Martial Palace, instead of asking me to take her to the Ziluo Palace." ”
"It seems that the relationship between the prime minister and King Yu is not as monolithic as the prime minister said!" Li Leng smiled, born in the emperor's family, one wrong step will lead to death.
If he loses the title of prince, he loses the qualification to compete for the unification, and he has no military power, which means that the tiger has no teeth, and he can only be slaughtered.
Li Lengzhi is in the heavens and all worlds, just a Tang Dynasty, and he hasn't taken it seriously.
But with his current cultivation and strength, the Tang Dynasty is his best platform and springboard, no matter what, he has to fight.
Zhou Wenbo snorted coldly: "Your Highness finally admitted, the old minister really misjudged His Highness." ”
"What if I admit it? I can't use other people's tricks? Don't tie my hands and feet with the same set of saints, in the face of interests, saints will also become wicked. Li Leng said coldly, "The prime minister is a veteran of the three dynasties, can't he still see through the bloody and white bones of the struggle for the throne? Prime Minister, do you see people like this?"
Zhou Wenbo was speechless.
"Okay, I'm tired and I'm going to rest, if the prime minister is fine, just please!" Li Leng ordered the expulsion.
"Alas!" Zhou Wenbo sighed, he was really old, and in the face of this intricate power struggle, he actually felt a little powerless.
Approaching the gate, Zhou Wenbo suddenly turned around and asked Li Leng a very strange question: "Last night, the Yuanrong clan suddenly withdrew from the army, what does Your Highness think about this?"
Li Leng said: "I can only say that Datang has met a real opponent." Unfortunately, we don't know anything about this opponent, and many people are still intoxicated by the peaceful world of singing and dancing. ”
"Then what does His Highness think my Datang should do?" Zhou Wenbo's eyes lit up and asked again.
Li Leng said: "War is inevitable, we don't fight with the Yuanrong clan, and the Yuanrong clan will also fight with us." In the battle of Dengfeng City, the Yuanrong clan has already tested the military strength of my Tang Dynasty, if my expectations are good, three years later, the Yuanrong clan will invade my Tang territory on a large scale. ”
"Please tell Your Highness, how should I deal with it?" Zhou Wenbo insisted on this question.
Li Leng said: "Fight hard and actively prepare for war." First, stop fighting with Qin and Han and send envoys to conduct peace talks, so that the Tang Dynasty could shrink its forces and implement a strong military training plan. Second, we must recover the thirty cities in northern Xinjiang, which is the strategic buffer of the Tang Dynasty, and if we lose these thirty cities, we will inevitably pay a heavy price to stop the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan. Third, the overlord who investigates the reckless lands of the Western Regions at all costs, knows himself and knows his opponent in order to win all battles. Fourth, the implementation of a centralized system, the return of decentralized power to the hands of the imperial court, once the war is fought, an efficient operation of the institution is the core to ensure victory. ”
Zhou Wenbo stood there stunned for a long time, looking at Li Leng's eyes full of admiration, and then, he bowed deeply to Li Leng and said, "The old minister already understands His Highness. I heard that His Royal Highness is about to move out of the palace and build another mansion?"
"Yes. Li said coldly, "My mother is worried about this matter these days." The prime minister also knows that my mother concubine does not have many moon coins, and it costs a lot of spirit coins to build a new mansion, and Ziluo Palace can't take out so many spirit coins at once. ”
Zhou Bowen said: "Lao Chen has a three-in, three-out house on Jingcheng Street, which is not a product of my Zhou family, but a gift from an old friend of mine who has passed away. I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I gave this house to His Highness, and I thank His Highness for cultivating my granddaughter carefully. ”
"Oh, that mansion is not far from the Zhou Mansion!" Li Leng said with a meaningful smile.
Zhou Wenbo smiled slightly and asked, "Don't your highness dare to ask for it?"
Li Leng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Then thank you Prime Minister, but I am disrespectful." ”
"Haha......" Zhou Wenbo laughed a few times, took the key to the house with both hands, and left.
Soon, Concubine Yu and Zhou Wen came over from the side hall, but they didn't see Zhou Wenbo, Zhou Wen couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa is gone?"
"Gone. Li Leng nodded and asked Xiaoying to arrange Zhou Wen's residence.
Xiaoying arranged for Zhou Wen to live in a room close to Concubine Yu's bedroom, but Zhou Wen disagreed, she wanted to live next door to Li Leng.
At night, Li Leng taught the remaining half of the cultivation method to Zhou Wen, and asked Zhou Wen to swear that he would not pass on this set of exercises to anyone without his consent.
The exercises he taught Zhou Wen were the top exercises in the barbaric period thousands of years ago, the "Ice Phoenix Divine Technique".
This set of exercises is most suitable for people who have the heavenly yin to the body, and only the heavenly yin to the body can fully exert the power of this set of exercises.
Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snowflakes, is the biggest feature of the "Ice Phoenix Divine Formula".
Cultivating to the highest place, you can incarnate into an ice phoenix, a desolate divine beast, and you can freeze the world at a glance.
With the entire set of "Ice Phoenix Divine Technique", Zhou Wen's powerful physique and talent were brought into play, and a thick spiritual energy vortex condensed around her in an instant.
The majestic aura, under the operation of the exercises, was quickly transformed into icy cold yuan force.
As an ordinary person, he couldn't withstand the cold yuan force at all, but for Zhou Wen, it was extremely comfortable, and the pores on his body were opened, and he only felt that the pitcher was full of strong power between his feet.
After a night of frantic cultivation, Zhou Wen's cultivation directly broke through to the triple level of Qi Refining Realm.
She was overjoyed, opened the door and jumped out, wanting to tell Li Leng the good news.
Li Leng stood under the plane tree in the courtyard, the cold wind was slow, slightly blowing his clothes, indescribably handsome and elegant.
For a while, Zhou Wen was stunned, her tender face slowly turned red, and different colors and light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Is there something wrong?" Li Leng suddenly turned his head and looked at this peerless girl with a smile.
"Master, I'm ...... Broke through. Zhou Wen exclaimed in surprise.
