Gongsun Changming carefully picked up the teacup in front of him, Zi'er took a sip of the clear tea in the cup, put down the teacup, and said, "Lord, it's actually not necessary." Now that the general trend has been achieved, why bother to offer a Buddha on your head? Even if it's a mud bodhisattva, it doesn't look upset. ”

Li Ze smiled silently.

Zhang Hui snorted coldly: "It's too early to say that the general trend has been achieved, we are still limited to a corner of the Northland, if you say that after taking down all the Central Plains, it is almost the same as saying that the general trend has been achieved, but now, it is Zhu Wen's pseudo-beam that is entrenched there!" I think Lee Sang's move was wise. In the southern regions, there are those who go back and forth with Zhu Wenmei, those who want to profit from the chaos, those who want to protect themselves, but there are also those who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Brother Zhang, it's not me talking about you, when it comes to the way of war, you are far from being able to compare with me, I have personally experienced more battles than you have ever heard of, from tens of thousands of people or even more than 100,000 people to tens of thousands of battles. Now that Li Xiang's prestige has been achieved, Zhu Wen has what he can count, just crush it all the way. Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "Besides, this time after we take Pinglu, we can march along the coast to Jiangsu, two or three years, we have been carefully cultivating the sailors have finally had a little appearance, and we can also try to use it next." Gongsun Changming said.

Under normal circumstances, Gongsun Changming is actually a very introverted person, but as long as he is in front of Zhang Hui, he can't help but want to say a few words to the other party, as if he feels more comfortable in this way.

Of course, such an occasion will only happen between two people, and if there must be an outsider present, then this person will definitely be Li Ze.

"Don't you need dead people to fight? Won't fighting a war cost the people? Don't you need more energy to rebuild if it's broken? If it can be solved in a peaceful way, why must it be in the form of war? Zhang Hui was dismissive of Gongsun Changming's words. War is always the last resort to solve problems. And the South is no better than the North, are you sure we'll be able to win the war with a smooth sailor? If we lose the last game, we risk going back many years. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Changming was still about to refute, Li Ze smiled and waved his hand: "Don't fight, the two of you don't fight, strong force is the foundation of our foothold, and it is also an indispensable means for us to deter our opponents. ”

As soon as Li Ze opened his mouth, the two were embarrassed to argue any longer, snorted in unison, and picked up the teacup in front of him in unison.

The two people who have never dealt with each other acted in unison as if they had a spirit in their hearts, and Li Ze was amused again, saying that he must be the enemy who knows him best, and he is really not wrong.

The door was gently pushed open, and Li Dang walked in, bowed down and said, "Lord, prince, oh no, no, it's His Majesty the Emperor who has come." ”

"Huh?" Li Ze was a little surprised, "Why is he here?" ”

As he spoke, the person stood up, Gongsun Changming and Zhang Hui also got up, and the three of them went out together.

Emperor Taishang was raised in Zhenzhou, and Li Ke, the new supreme ruler of the newly baked Tang Dynasty, followed Li Ze to Wuyi. Of course, the new palace suitable for the emperor is still being built, and I don't know when it will be built, so the little emperor can only be grieved in Li Ze's prime minister's mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was originally the largest and best residence in Wuyi, the emperor moved in, Li Ze would naturally move out, the place where Li Ze's family lived in the past has now become the emperor's residence, and the public hall in front has become the place where the emperor went to the court to discuss matters. The prime minister's office was set up in a wing room on one side.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the little emperor Li Ke, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walking over under the protection of several guards.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Li Ze and the three of them bowed as a salute.

Li Ke accepted a salute from the three of them, and after the three of them stood up straight, he also clenched his fists and bowed: "Hello sir, good Mr. Zhang, good Mr. Gongsun!" ”

Until now, Li Ze is still the prince's teacher under the emperor's order, and now the emperor can't move or speak, so naturally he can't cancel this will.

Li Ke's salute is also the meaning of respecting the teacher.

"Your Majesty, why is you free to come over today?" While welcoming Li Ke to the public hall, he asked with a smile.

"The homework assigned by Mr. yesterday was written quite smoothly today, and I unconsciously freed up a lot of time, and I happened to have something to talk to Mr. about, so I came over and didn't disturb Mr. and the two gentlemen to discuss official business, right?" Li Ke looked a little shy.

"No, no, no, even if it is about official business, Your Majesty is willing to come and listen, that's good, where can it be disturbed!" Li Ze smiled and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants to say?" ”

Li Ke straightened his sitting posture, coughed lightly and said: "Sir, Ke'er is young now, and she doesn't know anything about governing the country at all, so it's good to have Mr. help take care of these things." Since Ke'er can't help much, Ke'er still wants to study. ”

"Isn't Your Majesty studying right now?" Li Ze said: "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks Li Ze is not good?" If so, no matter who Your Majesty has a crush on, I will find him! ”

"No, no, no, the gentleman taught him excellently. But Mr. is busy with state affairs, and he can't teach me all the time, and Ke'er can't ask for benefits everywhere, so Ke'er wants to go to Wuwei Academy to study, and the gentlemen there are all excellent, but Ke'er can ask the gentlemen at any time if he has any questions. Li Ke said.

This request surprised Li Ze, and after glancing at Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming, the two of them were also a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, you have a different identity now, and you can't go out easily. Although Wuwei Academy is full of students, there are too many people after all. No one knows if there are some people with ulterior motives! Li Zedao.

"How many people recognize me?" Li Ke whispered: "Even if it is a gentleman in Wuwei Academy, I'm afraid there are very few people who know me, right?" Sir, Ke'er really wants to go, Ke'er wants to hide her identity and enter Wuwei Academy to study as an ordinary student, I think, in this way, Ke'er can learn more useful things. ”

"Your Majesty, your safety?"

"Wuwei Academy is the safest place in Wuyi!" Li Ke intercepted: "As long as Mr. agrees to let me go, I believe that Mr. will be able to make the best arrangements." ”

Li Ze pondered for a long time, "Wuwei Academy is indeed the best school, there are the best teachers there, and there are also the best students, but where the study career is also extremely hard, Your Majesty must not know that the students of Wuwei Academy must not only be proficient in the six arts, but also learn at least one current affairs, not to mention the hard work, I am afraid that just food, Your Majesty will not be used to it." ”

"Don't you say it's eating in a big cafeteria? I'm still quite yearning, and Ke'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her body and bones are not bad, even if she goes to the field to do farm work, it's okay. Li Ke insisted.

Li Ze smiled slightly, it seems that this person who gave Li Ke an idea told Li Ke the general situation in Wuwei Academy very clearly.

"Since Your Majesty is interested, the minister naturally agrees, Your Majesty is dedicated to learning, which is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Shangshu, you are also the head of Wuwei Academy, what do you say? Li Ze looked at Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty is naturally okay if you want to enter Wuwei Academy, but as soon as you step into the gate of the Academy, you are just an ordinary student like everyone else, what we can do is probably to secretly protect Your Majesty's personal safety, and other problems will be handled by Your Majesty himself." ”

"I can do it!" Li Ke stood up and said firmly. "Since Mr. agreed, then I will go back and clean up and wait for Mr. to arrange."

Li Ze nodded, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, within three days, it will definitely be arranged for Your Majesty." ”

Seeing the little emperor leave, Gongsun Changming smacked his mouth and said, "Look, I'll just say there's trouble, right?" Now people are thinking long-term, and this is planning for ten years from now! If he is really a person who can endure hardships, in Wuwei Academy, he can naturally broaden his horizons greatly. Moreover, those who can enter Wuwei Academy are all elite talents, and presumably our little majesty is also holding on to recruiting some people who really belong to him. Xue Ping's move is really good to say. ”

"It's always good that Your Majesty is willing to learn more." Zhang Hui narrowed his eyes, "But if you want to say that this can really change anything, you can't necessarily say it." The teaching tenet upheld by the current Wuwei Academy is not to learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. ”

Gongsun Changming sneered and said: "Look, this is just a little trick by Xue Ping and them, Lord Wang, before I came, I just received a piece of information from Chang'an, Gao Xiangchang has left Chang'an, do you know where he went and what he wants to do?" ”

"If you don't say, how do I know?" Li Ze spread his hands and said.

"Gao Xiangsheng's destination is Lingnan Dongdao, and the purpose of his trip is to say goodbye to His Majesty our Emperor!" Gongsun Changming shook his head and said, "What a clever move." I just don't know if Xiang Xun, the envoy of Lingnan Dongdao, will agree to this family business? Once Xiang Xun feels that this is a great opportunity and agrees to this family business, then His Majesty the Emperor will have a very good foreign aid. And for us, naturally it is impossible to refuse, and if Xiang Xun is really willing to become one of us, it will also be very helpful for us to pass through the south, after all, Lingnan Dongdao, whether it is financial resources or military strength, is now regarded as the number one person! ”

Li Ze laughed: "If this is the case, I must welcome it." ”
