Gao Lishi said with a smile: "The crown princess is just a little ill-considered, and her behavior is a little excessive, there is nothing wrong with it, the old slave has already explained to the two ladies of the Zheng Mansion, and has been forgiven by the two ladies." ”

"Fortunately, Aweng is here, so the incident did not worsen, and I want to thank Aweng again." Li Ying said sincerely.

If he hadn't seen the explosion just now, Li Ying would definitely not be sincere even if he apologized, after all, the status of the two was too different, and when he saw the amazing scene, he was grateful for Gao Lishi's actions.

"These are what the old slave should do" Gao Lishi lowered his voice and said: "According to the old slave, His Royal Highness and the crown princess do not have to go to the Zheng Mansion in person to apologize, they can't afford it, and it is easy to attract criticism, just send someone to send a heart, the emperor already knows about this, how to make a show, doesn't the princess like to worship God, just set up a temple in the East Palace, let the princess worship sincerely, one to give Zheng Fu an explanation, and the other can also pray for the emperor and Concubine Li, presumably the emperor and Concubine Li are also very happy to know." ”

Li Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly arched her hand and said, "Xie Aweng pointed." ”

The wine in the fish bath palace is mellow and fragrant, and the kaki of the inner teaching workshop are dancing, and the monarchs and ministers are in a very good mood, and they drink until late at night.

After the dispersal of the court the next day, Gao Lishi followed Li Longji to the imperial study to assist in correcting the recitals.

Colliers' job is to filter the folds for Li Longji, like some small things Colliers can do it at his own discretion, only those important and undecided folds will be sent to Li Longji's face, just sat down and opened the diagonal book of folds Gao Lishi was worried: it was the book about the post that Li Longji put aside.

"This book... Let's see for yourself. ”

Gao Lishi asked himself that he could help Li Longji deal with many things, but on this sensitive issue after the establishment, he really didn't dare to make up his mind for Gao Lishi.

As Li Longji's confidant, Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji was still regretting the matter of the queen, and Concubine Li was good, but Concubine Li's best years had passed, and her influence on Li Longji began to weaken, and Li Longji was in a dilemma: the princes were married, and the biological mother had not yet been established, so it was a little unconvincing to say; It's just that Li Longji is ashamed of the deceased queen Wang, and besides, Li Longji doesn't care about Concubine Li's background, but the subjects of the world do.

Set up a woman who was born as a prostitute, can she be a mother in the world? Won't future generations laugh at it after a thousand years?

I remember that Li Longji asked Gao Lishi more than once, if the crown prince Li Ying really became the emperor, would his brother rebel on the grounds that his blood was not right, and would the subjects of the world not recognize it?

It's hard to stand or not.

Li Longji took a look, groaned, and quickly threw it aside: "Lux, this kind of recital, you don't have to send it again in the future." ”

"The old slave commands." When Colliers responded, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

Gao Lishi seemed to see Concubine Li getting farther and farther away from the queen's throne, and the crown prince's seat was also a little more cracked.

"By the way, I'll go to the warehouse and pick out some suitable things for the two of Zheng Mansion in a while, and you can just look at it."

"Yes."

Chang'an, which seems to be calm, is surging, and the camp of the Fourth Army of Xiaobolu Ximen has also ushered in two guests.

The two giants of the Western Regions, Yang Ji, the supervisor of the Western Regions, and Huang Yang, the chief of the Western Regions, came hand in hand, but they did not breathe beforehand, and suddenly appeared in front of the camp gate.

Zheng Peng was studying with craftsmen in Houshan how to delay the time of gunpowder explosion, preparing to make the wooden-handled grenades used in the Anti-Japanese War in later generations in advance, when he heard that Huang Yang and Yang Ji were coming, he could only throw down what he was doing to greet the two.

Not to mention anything else, Huang Yang and Yang Ji have taken great care of themselves over the years, and what they need to cooperate with has been done well every time.

Zheng Peng walked to the camp gate, saw Huang Yang and Yang Ji looking around with interest, and hurriedly walked up, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind sent the two of you here, rare guest, rare guest." ”

Yang Ji said with a smile: "The old man and Mr. Huang have long wanted to come here to see, but they have been entangled in mundane affairs, and they have not been able to do so, this time they went to Khotan Town to deal with some things, and they happened to meet Mr. Huang, and discussed it. ”

"Yes, I haven't drunk with General Zheng in nearly two years, so it's rare to find time, I must have a good drink, General Zheng, I didn't bother you." Huang Yang also smiled and agreed.

Zheng Peng was a little disapproving, but he still said with a smile on his face: "The two of you are really funny people, I still have a lot of corrections from the two of you, it's okay, I haven't drunk with Yang Jianjun and Manager Huang for a few days, and I will definitely have a good drink for a while." ”

Yang Ji and Huang Yang came suddenly, it was definitely not as simple as drinking, nine times out of ten they were curious about what they were doing in Xiao Bolu, and they probably wanted to see how the military order they had set up was completed.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Zheng Peng took them into the camp for a visit.

The camp of more than 8,000 people, whether it is big or small, Zheng Peng took Yang Ji and Huang Yang to visit everywhere, and it took less than half an hour to complete the turn, such as the school field, the point of the general platform, the room, the horse room, the armory and other places have all gone around.

When passing through the entrance of the back mountain, Zheng Peng deliberately did not ask the two to go up to visit as guests, and Huang Yang and Yang Ji pretended not to see it, and walked by as if nothing happened.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Peng knew in his heart: these two guys were testing the situation, and they didn't want to "get into trouble".

Five years to include Tubo in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this is Zheng Peng's military order to Li Longji, few people know about this matter, but this matter cannot be bypassed Huang Yang and Yang Ji, the reason is very simple, the Ximen Fourth Army from the establishment to the strong, leaving the support and cooperation of the two.

Seeing that the five-year deadline was approaching, but the Fourth Army of Ximen had not moved for a long time, Yang Ji and Huang Yang couldn't hold back and ran here to see what was going on.

Obviously, if they see that they have hope to complete the military order, the two will strengthen their support and contact with themselves, and they will also follow behind to get a piece of the pie, if there is no hope, they will also show their support, but do their part as much as possible, for fear that they will not be able to complete it, and put the responsibility on them, saying that they will not cooperate, etc.

Zheng Peng's heart is like a mirror, but he still talks and laughs with the two of them on the surface, and he doesn't show any flaws.

It is human instinct to avoid evil and seek good fortune, and if you change it, you will do it yourself.

The Fourth Army of Ximen was not under the jurisdiction of Huang Yang and Yang Ji, and Zheng Peng didn't need to report anything, so he took them around briefly and then brought the two back to the middle tent camp.

When entering the barracks, Yang Ji secretly shook his head, looked at Huang Yang on the side, and obviously felt that Huang Yang's eyes were also full of disappointment.

After sitting down, just served hot tea, before the three of them began to chat, at this time, a herald had something to report, while Zheng Peng went out to deal with it, seeing that there was no one in the barracks, Yang Ji whispered: "Manager Huang, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"It's enough" Huang Yang said with some loss: "There are only 8,000 people, although they are elite soldiers, but they can face Tubo, Tubo is poor, but the soldiers are not afraid of death, they have been fighting for many years, they have rich combat experience, what do they rely on to fight, the time and place are favorable." ”

"When it comes to the sky, Tubo is in his hometown, familiar with the weather changes, and when he fights, he is lucky, and the time of day is also five or five, and General Zheng has no advantage; In terms of geographical advantages, not to mention, it is their homeland, and they can find favorable terrain with their eyes closed, and General Zheng is at most a simple map, and Tubo has an overall advantage in terms of geographical advantages; On peace, the four armies of Ximen only have only 8,000 people, and Tubo has a million people who control the strings, and now it is General Zheng who wants to conquer Tubo, and the people of Tubo must be oriented to their Zampu, the time and place are favorable, and none of them have the advantage, and now it is only more than a year before the expiration of the military order, and the annexation of Tubo is undoubtedly a fool's dream. ”

Feeling that he had said a bit too much, Huang Yang added: "General Zheng was a young man, and he was angry at Pangong's mistake, so he was inevitably upset and underestimated the difficulties he needed to face. ”

Yang Ji said with a wry smile: "At that time, I said that it was impossible, and I don't know where General Zheng's confidence is. ”

"Yes, there was little hope, General Zheng was good, in order to exchange prisoners, he handed over all the cement formulas, according to the information sent back by Xizuo, Tubo is building a lot of construction, and the important cities and fortresses have been reinforced with cement, isn't this moving stones to hit his own feet" Huang Yang echoed.

"Alas" Yang Ji sighed: "Five years to take Tubo, I don't believe it, and Mr. Huang doesn't believe it, but the emperor believes it, and let Zheng Peng toss, fortunately, Zheng Peng is still safe and guarded, and he didn't make any trouble, otherwise it would be more difficult to deal with the aftermath." ”

The emperor also trusts Zheng Peng too much, but now it's good, more than half of the time has passed, and I haven't seen any results, although this matter has nothing to do with Yang Ji, who knows if Li Longji will be implicated even himself under his anger?

Huang Yang nodded and said: "Forget it, anyway, this is caused by himself, it has nothing to do with us, it's a big deal if he has any requirements, try to meet them as much as possible, so as not to finish it when we get it, let the two of us carry the black pot." ”

"Of course, as long as we do our part, we won't be able to blame us at that time, don't say it, he's back."

Zheng Peng walked into the barracks and apologized: "I'm really sorry, suddenly there is a military matter to deal with, so the two of you have been waiting for a long time." ”

"Military affairs are the priority, we just drink tea and catch up on the past." Yankee said with a smile.

"That's it," Huang Yang echoed: "It's all your own people, so don't be polite." ”

Zheng Peng sat down and asked casually: "Yang Yushi and Manager Huang, both of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. ”

Huang Yang and Yang Ji glanced at each other, and quickly said: "General Zheng is too modest, very good, very good, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with eight words: strong soldiers and strong horses, and strict military discipline." ”

Huang Yang did not disobey his intentions, the spirit of the Ximen Fourth Army was complete, well-trained, and disciplined, and when training on the school field, the momentum was impressive.

Yang Ji added: "Just now on the school field, I saw two groups of people beating in a group, which scared me a lot, thinking that there was a riot, but I didn't expect it to be just a competition, and I was too serious. ”

Other army training, one board and one eye, rules and regulations, the training here scared Yang Ji, the two teams of people like seeing a feud, as soon as they touched, they were ruthless, one by one their eyes were like hungry wolves, as if they wanted to swallow the opponent, they all hit the corners of the mouth and bleed, and they didn't stop, and they were really afraid that something would happen to them.

Zheng Peng said indifferently: "The training has to be more serious, now that I am injured, there is a golden medicine in the army, if you really go to the battlefield, there is no one to accompany you to play slowly with one move." ”

Zheng Peng does not have this kind of scruples, let the soldiers let go of the hand and foot competition, and hand over the injuries to the wounded and sick battalion.

You don't have to pay for it yourself, you don't have to take any of the money you earn from digging up private salt, you can compensate it in the Fourth Army of Ximen, and you can run it with a little allocation to the wounded and sick battalion.

The number of people is small, so they develop to the elite.

Huang Yang nodded and said: "It's still General Zheng who has the courage, Zhen and Yang Yushi are here, don't hesitate to mention any requirements." ”

"That's it, Xiao Bolu, this ghost place, is remote and the climate is poor, the two of us come here, it's like fighting a few big battles in a row, it's rare for General Zheng to protect the territory and the people here, if there is anything you need help, just mention it, Manager Huang and I will do our best to meet it." Yanki said boldly.

It seems that the chance of following behind to make meritorious service is very low, and now take the initiative to let Zheng Peng speak, lest Zheng Peng be unable to complete it when he gets it, and find an excuse to burden himself.

Zheng Peng looked at the two of them, and suddenly said: "Yang Yushi, Manager Huang, we have known each other for so long, and we can be regarded as old friends, right?" ”

Yang Ji's heart froze, but he still reluctantly smiled: "Yes." ”

This kid doesn't know how to fight snakes with sticks, so he has to figure out how to deal with the military order by himself, if he really asks himself to intercede with the emperor, will he help or not?

Huang Yang smiled: "It is said that General Zheng is righteous and has always taken care of his friends, and it is an honor for us to have General Zheng as a friend." ”

Well, this wariness is too sensitive, I just sighed, they even put a high hat on themselves, is it a disguised plug of their mouths?

There are no outsiders here, even the cardinals are also left outside the door, Zheng Peng sighed, looked at the two, and said faintly: "There are no outsiders here, they are all old friends, so they don't hide it, the words are hidden, the two of you can rest assured, I have always kept the military order in mind, and I have taken action, and it has become, and the credit of the two is indispensable; No, I will take care of everything and never implicate the two old friends. ”

The words were all clear, and Yang Ji was not polite, and asked directly: "General Zheng, if you remember correctly, you made a military order in front of the emperor to capture Tubo for five years, right?" ”

"That's right"

Yang Ji said with some doubts: "If I remember correctly, the time limit is still one year and three months, listening to the meaning of General Zheng's words, there is still a chance to take Tubo within the time limit?" ”

Zheng Peng said confidently: "I have never fought a battle that I am not sure of. ”

Huang Yang frowned and said: "According to General Zheng, if you want to attack Tubo, you must first adapt to the plateau climate, otherwise there will be the so-called curse of Tubo, but General Zheng only has 8,000 people in his hands, and with this number of people, he wants to take out Tubo?" ”

The words were said so bluntly, Huang Yang was not polite, and asked on the spot.

Zheng Peng looked at the two who obviously didn't believe it, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "If you don't believe it, we can make a bet." ”
