Liu Ji didn't expect Jiang Qinglan to answer like this, and the hand that made the tea paused, "Why did that girl wait in front of the courtyard gate for so long?"

"Please sir out of the mountain. Jiang Qinglan said unhurriedly.

"It seems that the little girl in the courtyard didn't make it clear. Liu Ji slammed a teacup upside down on the desk, "I watch the girl act, she must be a knowledgeable person, and I want to be able to understand the old man's intention to live in the mountains." ”

Jiang Qinglan suddenly showed a smile, walked up to Liu Ji and sat down, "Sir, Ming people don't say dark words, I don't know what you think, but I know that you have no choice but to live in the mountains." ”

"Is it?, what kind of helplessness does the girl think?" said Liu Ji.

"Everyone in the world knows that Mr. was an official of the Yuan Dynasty, but the reputation of the officials of the Yuan Dynasty is very different, you are upright, and the real well-being of the people is to win the love of the people, you don't like the Yuan court to act, and you also don't look down on the righteous army, thinking that they will only kill the official and beat the landlord to praise the king of Ming, which is completely out of tune with the etiquette you abide by, so after Ying Tianfu was captured, you hid from him and hid in the mountains. ”

Liu Ji looked at Jiang Qinglan with a smile and did not respond.

Jiang Qinglan stretched out her hand and turned over the upside-down teacup, poured her own tea and took a sip, and continued, "The old master has collapsed, he can't help himself, he can't display his talents, and the new rebels have made that set of etiquette that doesn't conform to their own adherence, it's better to go into the mountains and plant flowers and drink tea to get clean, right, sir?"

I didn't expect the woman in front of me to see so clearly, for smart people, Liu Ji has always been kind, "Since the girl knows, why bother to go up the mountain for nothing." ”

"How can you say that you ran for nothing? Mr. will definitely follow me down the mountain. Jiang Qinglan was full of confidence, because she didn't see the indifference in Liu Ji's face.

In this case, as long as he agrees on what he wants, what else can't be done? And what Liu Ji wants most in his heart, Jiang Qinglan already knows it, after all, it is clear in the book of cause and effect, and it is Jiang Qinglan who will open his mouth so firmly.

"Interesting, tell me, why did I go down the mountain with you?" Liu Ji said.

"Sir, what is the weather in Tianfu now?" Jiang Qinglan did not answer directly, but asked Liu Ji's opinion on Tianfu.

"It is commendable not to levy grain from the common people and support the troops and fields. Liu Ji still appreciates this.

"Then sir, look at it again, is there a difference between Zhu Chongba of Ying Tianfu and the rebels elsewhere?" Jiang Qinglan said again.

"Separation?" Liu Ji sneered, "Those who get up in the mud are gaining momentum for a while, and they are just a field, what difference can they be from other unreasonable righteous troops?"

"The difference is that the rebels elsewhere will not build the Lixian Pavilion, the rebels elsewhere will not produce in the fields, and the rebels elsewhere will not accept the landlords and heroes. After Jiang Qinglan finished speaking, she looked at Liu Ji fixedly, "Sir, aren't these differences?"

"You said that Zhu Chongba accepted the landlord Haoqiang?" Liu Ji's expression became serious.

"Before the capture of Yingtianfu, there were heroes who pretended to steal the rebels, and sent people to Dadu to seek a job, and as a result, they came back with the title of roasted chicken. Jiang Qinglan held back her smile, before that, she thought that cured chicken was an Internet word, but she didn't expect its history to be so long.

Jiang Qinglan continued, "When this matter came out, these landlords were even more unpopular with the rebels, and they were not human beings on both sides, but Chongba put up a banner and was willing to accept these people, and also released the previous one who pretended to join the rebels from prison. ”

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "Isn't he afraid of annoying King Xiao Ming like this?"

"Liu Futong supported Han Lin'er as the queen of Xiao Ming, and he had nothing to do with that side. "Jiang Qinglan didn't hide anything from Liu Ji," Liu Futong thought about his feelings, did not pursue him to lead the crowd away, nor did he strip his name to the outside world, but outsiders don't know that the current Ying Tianfu has nothing to do with King Xiao Ming. ”

After Jiang Qinglan finished speaking, Liu Ji fell into deep thought.

"Sir is a contemporary Confucian, I can't see the collapse of etiquette and music, and I want to continue to maintain the order and habits that have been precipitated for thousands of years, why not join forces with Chongba?" Jiang Qinglan continued, "Chongba has a strong military force, and now it is backed by Tianfu, if Mr. joins forces with him, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a matter ......of time, and then the world will be unified, the etiquette and law will be rebuilt, and Mr. will be famous for future generations."

"Needless to say. Liu Ji interrupted Jiang Qinglan, "It's useless for you to tell me so much, although there is weather in Yingtianfu now, in addition to the Yuan court, there is Zhang Shicheng in the east, Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang in the west, and his old club Xiaomingwang and Liu Futong in the north, a small Yingtianfu, I'm afraid it can't withstand the setback." ”

Ah! Mr. Ji's heart was moved~

Jiang Qinglan smiled sweetly, "That's why I want to invite Mr. out of the mountain." ”

"The old man doesn't have that much ability. Liu Ji didn't admit it, but the corners of his mouth rose wildly.

"But Mr. can see that now the Yuan court and King Xiao Ming are inseparable, and the result can only be a lose-lose, as for the others, what else can Mr. do?" Jiang Qinglan said.

"Who are you Zhu Chongba?" Liu Ji suddenly asked.

Aren't you talking about big things in the world? Why did you suddenly ask about this? Although Jiang Qinglan was puzzled, she still replied, "Chongba is Qinglan's younger brother. ”

When Liu Ji heard this, he was determined in his heart, with such a sister by his side, his younger brother must not be too bad, although there is no big weather in Ying Tianfu now, but there is such a person in charge, maybe he can go down the mountain and give it a try?

But before agreeing to this little woman, you have to test her, so as not to make her too proud, thinking like this, Liu Ji got up and walked to the storage cabinet on the side, took out a scroll of paintings from it and handed it to Jiang Qinglan.

"You have to look at this painting if you don't want to see it, not only do you have to see it, but you also have to write a poem on it, otherwise you don't want the old man to go down the mountain with you. Liu Jidao.

...... "Jiang Qinglan is a Buddha, does this have anything to do with inviting you down the mountain?" and she doesn't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting at all.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, isn't it just looking at pictures and talking? What's so difficult!

Jiang Qinglan unfolded the painting in her hand, and there were four people painted on it, sitting around as if discussing something.

"This is Zhang Shicheng, and the rest are his staff officers, one surnamed Cai, one surnamed Huang, and one surnamed Ye. Liu Ji pointed to the villain above and introduced.

It turns out that it's not about appreciating calligraphy and painting, it's about testing yourself, this ...... It's so much easier!

It's just a poem, so embarrassing her!

With it, Jiang Qinglan picked up the pen on the side and wrote a few lines of words freely.

"Shicheng engages in business, relying exclusively on Huang Caiye, once the west wind rises, it will dry up!"

After writing, he turned his head to look at Liu Ji, "Sir, how is my poem?"

Liu Ji couldn't say a word, don't go over it, although what he said is good, but this language is a bit more honest and unworthy of this appearance at all.

Forget it, how many wise and talented people like himself can have? It's that his expectations are too high.

Liu Ji finally agreed to Jiang Qinglan's request and went down the mountain with her to assist Zhu Chongba.

When the two walked out of the courtyard gate together, the guards couldn't believe their eyes, the bad old man who scolded them mercilessly when he opened his mouth and scolded them was really a person with a bright smile in front of him?

Miss Jiang still has a way! As soon as she came, she invited people to move!

——————

Liu Ji went down the mountain and lived in the Lixian Pavilion as a guest, putting aside his previous prejudices and concerns, Liu Ji admired Zhu Chongba's wisdom and decisiveness, and Zhu Chongba asked him for some things that he couldn't decide, and Liu Ji would give him advice.

Because of Liu Ji's arrival, the celebrities and gentlemen who only ate and did not do anything in the Lixian Pavilion also began to change their attitudes.

Zhu Chongba struck while the iron was hot, and was extremely considerate to these people, and if there was anything good, he would rather not use it himself, and he should also pay close attention to the people of the Lixian Pavilion first.

This made the people of the Reicheikan even more satisfied, and the result of satisfaction was to actively make suggestions.

The rudiments of a political regime are beginning to emerge.

First of all, Liu Ji opened a pulpit in Yingtianfu, and easily suppressed the opposition of the common people after Zhu Chongba accepted the landlord Haoqiang with the classic etiquette rules of Confucianism and Taoism.

Then he began to plan for expansion, taking defense as an attack, choking several important strongholds around Ying Tianfu, so that the forces of several nearby forces were scattered, and they could not go further to Ying Tianfu.

Then the production of Tuntian in Tianfu has achieved great results, and the people are full of abundance.

At the suggestion of Liu Ji, Zhu Chongba began to attack Huaishui, and then divided his troops into two ways to attack Huzhou, and finally only took Pingjiang and captured Zhang Shicheng.

After that, he received Chang Yuchun and broke Chen Youliang.

......

And Liu Futong in the north first sang all the way to the Yuan Dynasty hugging the head of the rat, but because the old department of his father enveloped by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, did not listen to the order, and the soldiers began to be complacent, they suffered defeat, and the Yuan court waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

Because of the affairs of the old department, Liu Futong and Han Lin'er began to have a dislike, in an attack on the Yuan army, Liu Futong was besieged, but Han Lin'er did not lead troops to help, Liu Futong was defeated and Anfeng, and his anger was exhausted.

Zhu Chongba led the troops to rescue Liu Futong at the suggestion of Liu Ji, and brought him back to Tianfu to try to persuade him to surrender, Liu Futong refused to surrender, but now his military strength has been consumed by the Yuan soldiers, and he is separated from Han Lin'er, and there is no way out if he does not surrender, but the eldest brother can't pull off that face, and pulls out a knife and puts it on his neck, but fortunately, Jiang Qinglan arrived and took it to his house.

The heroes were destroyed, the Yuan Dynasty declined, and Zhu Chongba had the potential to become a king.

"Prepare to ascend the throne. Jiang Qinglan said to him.
