Chapter 102: Why
Everyone didn't expect Li Maozhen to speak sincerely, and there were such words to express their hearts.
It is true that in the troubled times, many princes wanted to usurp the throne and become emperors. But throughout history, there are also many heroes who support the community at critical moments.
The key meaning expressed by Li Maozhen is that if the world has an opportunity, they can indeed open a dynasty and establish a country after they grow stronger and their ambitions are inflated, but now the world is not really a mess of porridge, although they have made small achievements, but they do not have this opportunity.
Li Ye has already controlled half of the country, not to mention, he is still strong and strong, and he can level the world at any time.
In other words, when the world was in turmoil, but before it was really chaotic, Li Ye extinguished the flames and stifled the signs.
In this case, Li Maozhen is willing to be a good minister who will enter the prime minister.
Not every outstanding person will strive to be the emperor, and most of them only seek an official position in their lives.
To be a minister of the Tang Dynasty is the life choice of Li Maozhen, the king of Qi.
The hall was silent, and everyone was silent for a long time.
Someone in the middle wanted to come out to speak, but was secretly stopped by the clever person next to him, just gestured to Zhao Bingkun, who didn't move.
In the seemingly never-ending silence, Li Ye walked into the lobby.
He heard Li Maozhen's heartfelt words outside.
This made him think of Li Ye's previous life and psychedelic history. Among the major princes at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor, Li Keyong's son was called the emperor, Wang Jian was called the emperor in Shu, and Yang Xingmi's descendants were called the emperor in Huainan, but Li Maozhen did not claim the title of emperor, and was the king from beginning to end.
Just the king.
Seeing Li Ye come in, countless pairs of eyes fell on him, shocked and surprised, but also had their own meanings. Some are hostile, some are afraid, some are confused, some are wary, some are admired, and some even imply flattery.
Before everyone could speak, Li Ye smiled and said to Zhao Bingkun and the others: "Lone knows what you are worried about, what Lone can promise you is that Lone will treat the subjects of the Tang Dynasty equally, and will never divide or suppress it." If you don't have such a mind, you don't have to help the community.
"What's more, at present, the Tibetans and Uighurs are invading the border, and the Khitan is rising in the steppe, which is our common enemy. It is useless to say more, you only need to look at the Hebei feudal towns that are loyal to the imperial court, and you will understand what the situation is at the moment. ”
Li Ye didn't say anything about the fairy realm, and everyone wouldn't understand if he said it. He knows that what these people are most concerned about is their own future and destiny in the future.
Zhao Bingkun was silent for a moment, his eyes changed several times, and he suddenly raised his head and said to Li Ye: "The soldiers only assist King Qi, and they only listen to King Qi's dispatch, I don't know if King An will promise?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "Listening to the orders of King Qi is to listen to the orders of the imperial court, why not allow Lone?"
Zhao Bingkun deliberately said such unpleasant and even rebellious words, which was nothing more than a test of Li Ye. Li Ye knew that once there was a change in his eyes, the other party would immediately become suspicious. However, he was open in his heart, and naturally fearless.
Seeing Li Ye's attitude so firm, Li Maozhen couldn't help but glance at him more, and felt strange in his heart.
Isn't Li Ye afraid that her tail will not fall off?
Do you believe that she will not rebel, or are you confident that she will not be able to make many waves?
Li Maozhen took refuge in Li Ye, or the determination to be loyal to the imperial court has been decided, at least the current attitude is very resolute, Zhao Bingkun and others cannot disobey, they can't tear off the banner and rebel by themselves, so they can only let it go.
After receiving the assurance that Li Ye would not be treated differently - although this verbal assurance was useless, Zhao Bingkun and the generals were still a little relieved, and their opinions were initially unified.
Leaving the lobby, Li Ye and Li Maozhen discussed some important matters while walking in the house.
The focus of this is the conquest of Huainan. Li Ye didn't plan to do it himself, let Li Maozhen lead the troops across the river, Liu Dazheng led the Xuanwu army to assist, and he himself took Shangguan Chengcheng to Guanzhong.
The purpose of this is to establish Li Ye's control over Guanzhong, and it is also to prevent Li Maozhen from pretending to take refuge. If Li Maozhen can capture Huainan - this is almost a certainty, Li Ye will allow the Guanzhong army to be a division, and Li Maozhen will get such a great military merit, and his status will be as stable as a rock.
This is in line with the hearts of the two of them, and it is also the result that both of them want to see.
came to a small pavilion next to the rockery lake, and the two watched the scenery by the railing. The lotus flowers on the lakeside have all withered, and winter is coming, and the swimming fish are still vibrant.
Both of them held their hands, both of them in a high-spirited and upright posture.
Li Maozhen said leisurely: "Before the battle of Moshan, I tried my best to occupy more plates, and I was indifferent to Shangguan Allure destined to be defeated by Gao Yu, and even hoped that she and Li Zhen would both die in battle. I have made arrangements, as long as I get the military report of the defeat of Shangguan Allure, I will swallow up your troops. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Li Ye: "You are not taboo about all this, do you really believe that I am sincerely taking refuge now?"
Li Ye looked at a duck swimming around the lake, and said disapprerovitically: "In one day and one night, Liu Dazheng's department galloped for nearly 100 miles, stationed in Linlian, you are destined to swallow my part, what do I have to taboo." In the past, all kinds of things are just a passing cloud, but now that the situation is different, why should I be obsessed. In the past, we also fought side by side against the Fengxiang Rebellion Army and the Huangchao Thief Army, but what we do now is no different from the past. ”
Li Maozhen was silent for a while.
Suddenly, she asked, "When did you find out who I am?"
Hearing this question, Li Ye couldn't help laughing.
Very cheap laugh.
Li Maozhen's eyes flashed with murderous light.
Receiving Li Maozhen's warning, Li Ye coughed, and put on a serious appearance in a fake style, "From beginning to end, Shengji and Li Maozhen have never appeared at the same time, this is the biggest problem." When I was in Chang'an, I even saw the folding fan you used to use before appear in Shengji's hand. When you disguised yourself as a man, although you were more majestic, you saw a lot, and there were still too many clues like Shengji between your eyebrows and eyes - who told me to get along with you for a long time?"
Li Maozhen did not speak.
Li Ye continued: "The final confirmation, of course, is in Bagong Mountain. How can you rest assured if you don't go out in person to intercept Gao Yu and negotiate with me on such a big matter? After you have asked all those questions, I will confirm your identity. ”
Hearing that she had revealed so many flaws, Li Maozhen couldn't help blushing a little, and turned her head away without a trace, not daring to look at Li Ye, but her mouth was unforgiving, and she put on the strong and tough face of King Qi: "Hmph! I asked 'Shengji' to stop you that day, I wanted you to suspect me of attacking the rear, and see if you can still hold it down in that situation!"
Li Ye didn't want to expose Li Maozhen's lies, so he endured it for a long time, but he couldn't help laughing.
Li Maozhen turned her head and glared angrily, her eyes drooping so that she couldn't see.
Li Ye covered his stomach and waved his hand, but he still didn't stop laughing, "You're really ...... Maybe you have this intention, but the biggest reason is not that you are worried about the vision of Moshan, but that Gao Yu deliberately made it out for you to see, confuse you, lure the snake out of the hole, and then ambush you to solve your conspiracy? Outcome...... Haha, if I accidentally see through it, and help me kill Gao Yu to kill him, who will complain?"
Li Maozhen was so angry that her silver teeth were about to be crushed.
It's no wonder that she thought so at the beginning, Gao Yu's soldiers and horses were too disadvantaged, and if she wanted to occupy the Central Plains, it was indeed the best choice to find an opportunity to lure Li Maozhen out and ambush him.
"You bastard!"
Seeing that Li Ye was more and more crazy the more he laughed, Li Maozhen couldn't hold back after all, and raised his hand into a palm and slashed towards Li Ye.
Li Ye didn't get it, but it was a good pavilion, and it was destroyed in her hand knife.
In the billowing smoke and dust, Li Maozhen's figure broke through the air, and the Chixia spear had already been carried in her hand, and her face was flushed with annoyance, and she glared at Li Ye who floated to a big tree with great vigour: "Li Ye! If you have the guts, you will have a fight with me! I want to try, how powerful you are! If you lose today, your soldiers and horses will be mine!"
As he spoke, the gun flew towards Li Ye.
Li Ye would get up and leave as she wished, but the ridiculous voice came clearly: "What kind of male and female, let's have a female and a male and a female clearly, hahahaha!"
Watching Li Maozhen start chasing and killing Li Ye all over the sky, Song Jiao stopped the young man who wanted to make a move, and her eyes were full of schadenfreude: "You two can't get involved in this cultivation, wait, as soon as the county lord comes back, we will have a good show." ”
......
Yangzhou.
As the core of Confucianism, the school has always been well-behaved and orderly.
Don't say that no one is making noise in groups, but anyone who speaks louder will attract white eyes. But now it is like a pot of boiling water, and there are wolves and screaming soldiers everywhere, and there is no time to pick up the books when they fall to the ground, as if the rebels have been killed.
In fact, the situation is similar.
The news was brought by the soldiers who returned to Yangzhou, so it has spread all over the city and beyond, and they can't cover it if they want to.
No one thought to control it.
"The army was defeated by Wuning, King Wu was killed by King An and King Qi, and Yang Xingmi led the sailors to rebel...... Now King Qi has led a million heroes and has begun to cross the river to the south!"
When Wang Zaifeng heard the news, he was commenting on the articles of a group of junior talents in the Xuan room, and the scholars knelt and sat in the courtyard.
"Is this serious?!" Wang Zaifeng was startled, the beard on his face trembled, and his eyes stared at the soldier who entered the door like a tiger wolf.
Looking at his appearance, if the other party dares to chase the wind and talk nonsense, he doesn't mind tearing the other party alive on the spot.
Now the city is full of routs, shouting that King Wu has been defeated, and the market is in chaos, and the ruthless people, especially the monks, are taking advantage of the opportunity to burn and loot everywhere...... If the gentleman goes out, he can hear the cry......"
Hearing the scholar's cry with a frightened face, Wang Zaifeng took a few steps back, and the poem in his hand that had just been rated as the best fell to the ground, his face turned white instantly, and he muttered in distraction: "King An, King Qi, King An......"
In the shouts of a gentleman, thinking of the current situation of Confucianism, Wang Zaifeng only felt that the sky was spinning, the sun and the moon were dark, his chest was stuffy, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood!
Seeing Wang Zaifeng crumbling, the scholars rushed up in a panic, held him up, and asked anxiously: "Sir, is this...... What can we do about this? King Wu is dead, Huainan is defeated, what should we do?"
Wang Zaifeng spat out a mouthful of blood, and originally felt a lot more relaxed, but when he heard these words, his chest began to churn violently again.
He vomited three mouthfuls of blood in a row, and could no longer hear the noise in his ears, and in vain stretched out his thin hand to the sky, and fainted after crying out in sorrow.
"God, my Wang Zaifeng is a sinner of Confucianism through the ages!"
