"What, this weapon that is as powerful as a thunderbolt is from General Zheng?" Song Jing said with a shocked expression.

Gao Lishi said with some displeasure: "Song Kaifu thinks that our family has deceived your important ministers and Your Majesty? ”

"No, no, don't misunderstand" Song Jing hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't believe in Gao Gonggong, I just think that General Zheng is really a god, and the bicycle and cement are already amazing, and now he has made a weapon comparable to the thunder, which is amazing, really amazing." ”

Zhang Jiazhen also sighed: "If someone else makes something so powerful, it is still doubtful, but it is not surprising that it is from the hand of General Zheng, because what he is best at is to create miracles." ”

Li Linfu said thoughtfully: "Since the formation and construction of the Fourth Army of the West Gate, the criticism has not stopped, such as the treatment of the Fourth Army of the West Gate is too generous, the consumption of grain and grass supplies is too large, General Zheng digs private salt, builds private houses to hide Jiaojiao, and so on, it has been widely spread, and there are also rumors that General Zheng intends to tear the soil and become king, it seems that there are many misunderstandings. ”

"Rippping the Ground as King?" Xiao Song said in a voice: "Li Yushi, the so-called matter of General Zheng splitting the soil and becoming the king has been investigated, it is a counter-plot made by Tubo, and the rumor-mongers have been imprisoned, which can justify General Zheng's name." ”

Two hostile countries, the battle is not only on the battlefield, but also in various fields, sometimes in order to achieve the goal, do everything, such as the anti-plot in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tubo used anti-plot against the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also used it on Tubo, and the famous fierce general Zanpo in Tubo fell under the anti-plot of the Tang Dynasty.

Song Jing laughed, and couldn't help but say: "What a clumsy anti-plot, up and down the court, who doesn't know that General Zheng is obsessed with the moon before the flower, the rotation is not active, and he has refused to be promoted several times. ”

"This kid, too lazy" Li Longji said happily, "You can't let him be idle." ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Linfu sighed in his heart, Song Jing, this old guy, scolded the Tubo people for being stupid on the surface, and then said that the emperor knew people with a good eye, and changed his way to shoot the emperor's ass, and the shooting was so fresh and natural, seeing the emperor's smile on his face was how good the effect was.

It's no wonder that he is still trusted, and even called him on such an important and secret occasion.

Li Linfu's eyes rolled, and he quickly said: "Exactly, if you want to say that General Zheng has two hearts, the minister is the first to believe it, General Zheng sent the lucky star to His Majesty's side from heaven, and only the true dragon son can control it. ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Xiao Song's eyes lit up when he heard this, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted excitedly: "Understood, understood, finally figured it out." ”

Song Jing was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Shangshu, what do you understand?" ”

This Xiao Song, either he doesn't speak, and when he speaks, he is scary.

Xiao Song lowered his voice and said: "Think about it, when Tubo was exchanging prisoners, he insisted on going with the cement formula, the importance of cement must be known to everyone present, General Zheng just handed it over, how many people impeached General Zheng at that time, saying that he only cared about personal feelings, regardless of the overall situation, and I can't understand how General Zheng miscalculated so much, so that Tubo took a big advantage, now it seems that General Zheng has already had a countermeasure, it seems that His Majesty and General Zheng and Tubo have a big game of chess." ”

As soon as the words fell, except for Li Longji and Gao Lishi, who were in the know, the faces of those present changed.

is just in doubt, look at the deep pit that is two feet deep and more than one zhang wide, who still says it is impossible.

Li Longji felt a little proud in his heart, but he still waved his hand and said: "The special crockpot was just made by Zheng Peng, everything has to be considered in the long run, you Aiqing must remember that everything you see today must be kept secret, even the most trustworthy people around you can't leak it." ”

After a pause, Li Longji said with a straight face: "Leaker, slash!" ”

This word was said very decisively, with a murderous aura in his tone, and everyone felt that the air around them was also cold, and when they heard this, their hearts were cold, including the crown prince Li Ying, and they loudly promised not to leak it.

Zheng Pengli's military order, Li Longji did not say it, first, this kind of action related to the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, the more secretive the better, and it will not be announced until the last moment, so as not to leak out and increase variables; Second, Li Longji also wants to defend Zheng Peng, Gao Lishi said that Zheng Peng can take Tubo, but there are more difficulties than imagined, and it may take some more time, the military order is the military order, if it cannot be completed within the time limit, some people bite and insist on it, and it is not good to force Zheng Peng to comply.

In Li Longji's heart, he has decided that Zheng Peng is his lucky star, and he must do everything possible to maintain it.

Gao Lishi couldn't guess Li Longji's thoughts, but he just smiled and didn't say anything, as an excellent chamberlain, when to speak out and when to silence has long been perfected.

The people present are all shrewd people, Li Longji said that he would think about it in the long run, but everyone didn't believe it at all, you must know that the four armies of Ximen were unusual from the time they were formed, and the soldiers selected were selected from the elite soldiers of the military governments in the Western Regions, and Zheng Peng's guards were selected from ten thousand cavalry, all of them were elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, just used as garrisons, who believed it?

However, Li Longji wants to keep it secret, as a courtier, he can only hide his doubts in his heart, and everyone is clear in their hearts: in the future, the attitude towards Zheng Peng will be clear, which is also the reason why Li Longji called himself here.

Prince Li Ying's eyes flickered a little, and he also realized why Gao Lishi confronted the crown princess for Zheng Peng's woman in Dacisi Temple, and the purpose of his father calling him here.

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, and said a few more words, and then said: "It's rare for the ministers to have fun today, I ordered people to set up a banquet in the Fish Bath Palace, all Aiqing, please." ”

"The emperor's grace is immense, thank the emperor." The ministers hurriedly thanked him.

Li Linfu's eyes rolled, and he proposed with a smile: "There was a loud bang just now, Wei Chen was scared and ran, not to mention those horses, they all heard their frightened neighing, why don't we ride General Zheng out of the bicycle to the Fish Bath Palace together, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Hahaha, it's still a lot of ghost ideas for the brothers, so I will ride the footsteps, and it should be a suburb outing" After Li Longji finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jiazhen and said thoughtfully: "Zhang Aiqing, I will prepare a carriage for you." ”

Zhang Jiazhen's hair and beard are white, and she looks like she has old arms and legs, and Li Longji can't bear to let him ride a bicycle.

"Your Majesty is compassionate, the old minister is grateful" Zhang Jiazhen said with some pride: "The bicycle does not need to be stocked, and it is not afraid of running away, and it is more convenient than the carriage when walking. ”

Li Longji said happily: "In this case, let's have a competition, from here to the Fish Bath Palace, the first to arrive, there will be a reward." ”

Bicycles were prevalent in Chang'an as early as possible, whether it was the princes and ministers, or ordinary people, almost every household had, not to mention anything else, just the monthly savings of a lot of money, that is, the master does not ride, let the next person run errands can also use a bicycle instead of a horse, save horsepower and less money, if you need to live in a hotel on an errand, you can also save a horse for room and board.

Colliers immediately asked people to send a batch of special bicycles, and when they were done, they also acted as referees, allowing everyone to set off at the same time.

As a eunuch, how dare Gao Lishi compete with the emperor and important ministers all the time, and ride at the end with interest, but he didn't expect the prince Li Ying to ride forward in a hurry, and he fell in a big section at the beginning, obviously waiting for Gao Lishi.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is gone, you have to work harder." Colliers followed, smiling.

Li Ying smiled indifferently and said straight to the point: "Ah Weng, I am waiting for you." ”

Gao Lishi smiled unexpectedly and said respectfully, "I don't know what His Highness commands?" ”

"Ah Weng is not an outsider, I will say it directly, my father guessed the intention of calling me here" Li Ying said frankly: "Don't hide Ah Weng, although Concubine Xue has done a little too much, I listened, I didn't understand it at first, I felt that Ah Weng was closer to General Zheng, now it seems that Ah Weng is thoughtful, General Zheng is too important to the Tang Dynasty, and the contributions and sacrifices he has made are also very great, and he deserves everyone's love and respect, including General Zheng's family, this time Concubine Xue has done too much, I want to ask Ah Weng, how to solve this matter?" ”

Li Ying admitted her mistake before, but she was afraid of Li Longji and Gao Lishi, and she didn't think so, Bi Jian's own wife was the crown princess, and Zheng Cui's was only the fourth lady, not to mention Lin Xun'er, who was born in Qinglou and had no official name with Zheng Peng, but Gao Lishi actually contradicted Concubine Xue for them, and the East Palace was not as good as a Zheng Mansion?

It wasn't until the crockpot exploded that Li Ying understood the purpose of his father calling him here, and also understood the importance of Zheng Peng to the Tang Dynasty, and always thought that his father was too indulgent to Zheng Peng.

Wrong is wrong, but how to remedy it is a problem, you can't make the meritorious generals resentful, and you have to take into account the royal face, the most important thing is that the father is satisfied, Li Ying thinks about it, or probes the wind from Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi said modestly: "Your Highness, the old slave will only serve Your Majesty, and this fact is inconvenient to speak. ”

When Li Ying heard this, she was in a hurry, stopped the bicycle, and as soon as he stopped, Gao Lishi had to stop.

"Please also ask Ah Weng to teach me." Li Ying said as she bowed to Gao Lishi.

"Don't, don't" Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Your Highness is a daughter, isn't this killing the old slave, please get up, please get up quickly." ”

"If Ah Weng refuses to instruct, I can't afford it."

Gao Lishi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, please get up, the old slave doesn't dare to give advice, so give His Highness some advice." ”

Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Gao Lishi, and then stood up.
