After returning home, before Song Li's ass was hot, the palace attendant came over to deliver a decree, saying that His Majesty the Holy Emperor had summoned him. 【】(Starter)

As soon as Song Li's eyes rolled, he knew that the Holy Emperor must have encountered some kind of problem again. For Song Xingtian, Song Li has now become a headache for him, and he doesn't want to see Song Li under normal circumstances. However, Song Li's ability to solve difficulties is unparalleled in the court, and despite his young age, he has already done several major things that shocked the government and the opposition. It seems that whatever difficulties come into his hands, they become easy.

According to Song Li's guess, the current troubles encountered by the Holy Emperor should be related to the father and son of the war dragon. If you calculate the time, now is the time for King Jingnan to return to the imperial capital.

This father and son would definitely not fall into the cage of the imperial capital so easily, Song Li had already thought of it before.

They have heavy troops, if they don't enter the imperial capital, His Majesty the Holy Emperor can't do anything about it. Unless you are sure to defeat the 500,000 elite soldiers under the command of the War Dragon.

Following the inner attendant to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Song Li looked from afar, and the Holy Emperor's eyebrows were tightly locked, looking full of worries. However, after seeing Song Li, he immediately returned to his usual calm expression.

"Junior minister Song Li, participate in His Majesty the Holy Emperor. I don't know if Your Majesty has summoned the ministers, but there is something important?" Song Li smiled and bowed his hand.

"Song Lixian's nephew, this is not a big hall, don't be polite. Song Xingtian beckoned and motioned to the chamberlain to show Song Li a seat.

The Song officials were not polite, sat on the brocade chair loudly, and said with a smile: "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, it is the same everywhere." ”

The Holy Emperor sighed secretly, and Song Li became more and more separated from him. With his wisdom, he should have seen the Holy Emperor's wariness of him a long time ago.

"The father and son of the war dragon have already arrived, leading an army of 200,000 and stationed south of the Holy River, but they have been slow to enter the imperial capital. I sent three envoys to give orders, but they pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored them. Since the trip to Nanzhou was made by Song Aiqing, I was thinking that maybe it would be better to send you there. Let's see what kind of tricks this father and son are up to. Dare to bring 200,000 troops, hehe, is this a threat to me?"

The current situation does not allow the Holy Emperor to be optimistic, Prince Zhong's hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it may bite him back at any time, King Jingnan has self-respect, and it has gradually become a tumor of the empire, the power of the Ming Palace's palace is expanding rapidly, and the future potential of the prince Song Li is becoming more and more frightening, Song Xingtian finds that the current situation is even more dangerous than when he first ascended the throne.

Song Li smiled, Zhan Long father and son led an army of 200,000 to come, which he had expected. King Jingnan knew that he was a thorn in the eye of the Holy Emperor, a thorn in his flesh, no matter how stupid he was, he also knew that the imperial capital was his cage, how could he obediently send it to the door without any preparation and let you rub it round and flatten?

Personally leading 200,000 troops to the north, leaving 300,000 troops in the base camp, once there is any accident, it is indeed the best way to attack and retreat.

However, the Holy Lion Code clearly stipulates that unless there is a riot in the imperial capital, local armies are not allowed to enter the imperial capital under any name, and the boundary is the holy river. Violators are considered to have rebelled.

The Holy River is an east-west river, about 100 miles away from the imperial capital, and has become a natural barrier to the south of the imperial capital. Unless King Jingnan wanted to rebel, his army could only stay here.

Without the army's guards, they naturally would not go to the imperial capital in person. Zhan Long made it clear that he wanted to negotiate, and if he didn't negotiate good terms, he wouldn't be stupid easily.

"No problem, the minister can go for a trip," Song Li said quietly: "Their concerns are also clear in your heart, this is normal. ”

The Holy Emperor nodded and said in a deep voice, "Hmm. I'm going to see what conditions they're prescribing. ”

After Song Li received the order, according to the etiquette of the envoys, he took his retinue and guards, and rushed to the south of the holy river in a flying beast.

The flying beast's feet were fast, and after half an hour, it landed in the military camp of King Jingnan.

There was a report from the lookout sentry that the war dragon had already known that the emperor had envoys coming, so he lined up in front of the big tent in advance to greet him. Seeing that it was Song Li in official uniform who walked down from the flying beast, King Jingnan finally showed a rare smile on his face.

"Lord Song, don't come to harm?" The war dragon is dressed in military uniform, with a bearded halberd, and there is indeed a dragon and tiger posture among the ten thousand armies, scorching domineering.

"It's not good," Song Li said with a bitter face: "Since saying goodbye to King Jingnan, this official can't eat or sleep well, as if he has lovesickness." ”

Zhan Long was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Haha, Lord Song is really a wonderful person. Talking to you is the happiest thing in the world. ”

Zhan Chunlei stood behind his father, looked at Song Li coldly, and saw that he was in the midst of an army of 200,000, facing the cold light reflected by the edge of the spear, he was actually like no one around, talking and laughing, and he was in the mood to make such a harmless little joke, although he still disdained it on the surface, but he had to admire it in his heart.

Everyone gathered around Song Li into the tent, and the guests and hosts sat down.

Song Li smiled and said: "The king of Jingnan is busy, so this official will not beat around the bush." His Majesty the Holy Emperor sent me here to ask what was the intention of the prince to lead a large army to garrison the border of the Holy River, but he was slow to enter the imperial capital? The birthday banquet of the Holy Empress Dowager was about to begin, and it would not be good to delay her old man's birthday. ”

King Jingnan put away his smile and said lightly: "Lord Song, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people. The feud between this king and the Holy Emperor is known to the whole world, and I don't need to hide it from you. If you were me, would you just enter the imperial capital so obediently?"

Song Li sighed, shook his head and said, "Of course not." ”

Zhan Long smiled slightly and said, "Lord Song, this is where this king appreciates you. The three groups of envoys in front of me, after I threw out this question, all brought out the great truth of the program of the monarch and the ministers, what kind of bastard words such as the king called the ministers to die and the ministers had to die, so this king will not pay attention to them, just a group of rotten Confucians. Only you, Lord Song, can give such an answer so calmly. For the sake of Lord Song's honesty, it is worth a lot of revelation. ”

King Jingnan picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it all.

Song Li also took a drink and said with a smile: "Isn't King Jingnan waiting for me all the time?"

"That's right, this king is waiting for you. King Jingnan smiled: "In the eyes of this king, the current deadlock is only able to be solved by you." ”

No one knew what they talked about, the only thing that was certain was that Zhan Long was very polite to Song Li. The first three envoys were all tied up like rice dumplings by his soldiers, threw out the big tent, and then returned to the imperial capital to resume their lives. But when Song Li left the camp, King Jingnan led his generals to personally send it out.

Song Li returned to the palace to restore his life, and soon a news came out: King Jingnan asked the Holy Emperor to provide a proton, otherwise they would not enter the imperial capital.

Proton is the oldest and most effective method, and it should be said that King Jingnan's proposal for this condition is unexpected and reasonable.

He knew that he was a thorn in the side of the Holy Emperor, as long as he entered the imperial capital, he would basically become a prisoner bird, and it would be difficult to fly out again. The imperial capital is not his territory, without the arch guard of the army, he will become a tiger who has lost his minions, and I am a fish and meat for people.

If the Holy Emperor sent one of his sons as a hostage to the camp of King Jingnan, with this guarantee, Zhan Long's father and son would naturally be able to enter Beijing with confidence.

Almost every minister of the empire was watching the progress of this matter, and Prince Zhong was no exception.

When his spies came to report the news, he was in the council hall and the three of King Jing and King Kangjun were analyzing the current situation.

"Hehe, I'll just say, how could that old boy of Zhan Long obediently send himself into the tiger's mouth, it turns out that he still has a hand. Prince Zhong waved the spy away and sneered a few times.

"Fifth brother, do you think that old thing of the Holy Emperor will agree?" King Jing Song Xingguang asked lightly.

"Does he still have a choice?" Prince Zhong said coldly: "Song Xingtian, I don't know the most. On the surface, it seems harmless to humans and animals, gentle and elegant, but in fact, he attaches great importance to the interests of power, his son is important, compared with Jiangshan, he will definitely choose Jiangshan. King Zhanlong of Jingnan has supported his troops and has been entrenched in the three southern counties for many years, and he has long been unconstrained by the empire, and the Holy Emperor does not want to pull out this thorn in his eye all the time. The war dragon also knew this, so no matter what method the Holy Emperor used, he would just shrink in his army of 500,000 and refuse to show his head. ”

This time, Song Li's yellow-mouthed child didn't know what ** soup he poured, so he actually persuaded Zhan Long's father and son to leave the south and rush to the imperial capital for a banquet. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Song Xingtian. I dare to say, not to mention that Zhan Long wants him a son, he wants his wife, and this old thing will not hesitate to send his own woman to Zhan Long's bed. ”

Song Xingyun, the king of Kangjun, pondered for a moment and questioned: "Although Zhan Long is a military general, his political wisdom is definitely not inferior to any civil servant in the court. What we can think of, he can think of too. （http：/／.）。 It is even said that he may have a deeper understanding of the Holy Emperor than we do. Knowing that the Holy Emperor might even give up his son in order to deal with him, why did he still put forward such a condition as 'holding his son'?"

Prince Zhong snorted coldly: "This can only show that the war dragon is old. He is no longer the fierce general who took the rank of general in the million-dollar army before, and the days of wealth and comfort have worn out his will. He was afraid of death. From his series of actions, it is not difficult to deduce that he does not want to completely stand on the opposite side of the Holy Emperor. At best, he wants to be an uncrowned king and spend his life in the three southern counties. ”

"If he has any objections, he will definitely not be moved by Song Li's words and come to the imperial capital for a banquet. He was afraid that if he did not come to the imperial capital, the Holy Emperor would officially declare him a rebel and go on a crusade. But when he came to the imperial capital, he was afraid that the Holy Emperor would endanger him, so he came up with the method of proton. In my opinion, this was just a lifeline he grabbed before drowning. Knowing that it is useless, I ask for psychological comfort. ”

King Jing Song Xingguang said: "Fifth brother, is it possible for King Jingnan to be used by us? If we have his help, the general trend of the world will basically be decided. ”
