Chapter 102 Reasons
Everyone did not expect Li Maozhen to speak sincerely and have such words to express his feelings.
It is true that in the conquests in troubled times, many princes wanted to usurp the throne and become emperors. But throughout history, there are many heroes who support the country in critical moments.
The key meaning of Li Maozhen's expression is that if the world has opportunities to take advantage of, they can indeed start a dynasty and establish a country after growing stronger and expanding ambitions; but now the world is not really a mess. Although they have achieved some success, they do not have this opportunity.
Not only did Li Ye have already controlled half of the country, but he could defeat the world at any time with strong soldiers and horses.
In other words, the world was first exposed, but before the real chaos was really chaotic, Li Ye put out the flames and strangled the signs.
Under such circumstances, Li Maozhen is willing to be a good minister who will become a general and a prime minister.
Not every outstanding person will fight to be an emperor, and most outstanding people seek only official positions in their lives.
Being a minister of the Tang Dynasty was the life choice of King Qi Li Maozhen.
The hall was silent and everyone was silent for a long time.
Someone in the middle wanted to go out and talk, but was secretly pulled by the clever person next to him. He just signaled Zhao Bingkun, who had not moved with his eyes.
In the seemingly endless 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 emperor, Li Keyong’s son became emperor, Wang Jian became emperor in Shu, and Yang Xingmi’s descendants became emperor in Huainan, but Li Maozhen did not become emperor, and he was always the king from beginning to end.
Just the king.
When he saw Li Ye coming in, countless eyes fell on him. He was shocked and surprised, but also had their own meanings. Some were hostile, some were afraid, some were confused, some were alert, some were admired, and some even implicitly flattering.
Before everyone could speak, Li Ye smiled and said to Zhao Bingkun and others: "I know what you are worried about. What I can guarantee to you is that I treat the subjects of the Tang Dynasty equally and will never do anything differentiated or suppressed. If I don't have such a mind, I don't have to support the country.
"What's more, Tubo, Uighurs invade the border, and Khitan rises on the grassland, which is our common enemy. It's useless to say more. You just need to look at the Hebei vassal states that are loyal to the court. What's going on now is going to understand."
Li Ye didn't talk about the Immortal Realm, and everyone wouldn't understand it after talking about it. He knew that what these people were most concerned about was their future and destiny in the future.
Zhao Bingkun was silent for a moment, his eyes changed a lot, and he suddenly looked up and said to Li Ye: "The military strategists only assist King Qi, and they only listen to King Qi's orders. I wonder if King An will promise?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Listen to King Qi's orders is to obey the imperial court's orders. Why don't you allow me?"
Zhao Bingkun deliberately said such unpleasant or even ruthless words, which was nothing more than testing Li Ye. Li Ye knew that once his eyes changed, the other party would immediately become suspicious. However, he was open-minded and naturally fearless.
Seeing that Li Ye was so firm, Li Maozhen couldn't help but look at him more, and felt strange in her heart.
Isn’t Li Ye afraid that she will lose her tail?
Do you believe that she will not surrender and rebel again, or do you believe that she cannot make any big waves?
Li Maozhen's determination to surrender to Li Ye, or to be loyal to the court, was already determined, at least he was very firm at the moment. Zhao Bingkun and others could not disobey, and they could not rebel themselves and could only let them go.
After receiving the assurance that Li Ye would not treat differently - although this verbal assurance was useless, Zhao Bingkun and the generals were still a little relieved, and the current opinions were initially unified.
After leaving the lobby, Li Ye and Li Maozhen walked around the mansion and discussed some important matters.
The key point was to conquer Huainan. Li Ye did not intend to take action on this matter, so he asked Li Maozhen to lead troops across the river. Liu Dazheng could only lead Xuanwu army to assist him, and he himself took Shangguan Qingcheng to Guanzhong.
The purpose of doing this is to establish Li Ye's rule over Guanzhong and to prevent Li Maozhen from falsely surrendering. If Li Maozhen could conquer Huainan - this is almost a foregone conclusion, Li Ye would allow the Guanzhong army to be in charge. Li Maozhen's status would be as stable as a rock if he obtained such great military achievements.
This is in line with the wishes of both of them and is also the result that both of them hope to see.
When we arrived at a small pavilion beside the rockery lake, we went to the railing to see the scenery. The lotus flowers by the lake had all withered, and winter was coming soon, and the swimming fish were still full of vitality.
Both of them were holding hands, both of them were in high spirits.
Li Maozhen said leisurely: "Before the Battle of Moshan, I tried my best to occupy more territory, and remained indifferent to Shangguan Qingcheng's destined to be defeated by Gao Pian. I even hoped that she and Li Zhen would die in battle. I have made arrangements. As long as I get the military newspaper of Shangguan Qingcheng's defeat, I will annex your troops."
As she said that, she looked at Li Ye: "You don't care about all these things? You really believe that I really surrender to you?"
Li Ye looked at a duck swimming in the lake and said unconsciously: "In one day and one night, Liu Dazheng's troops galloped nearly a hundred miles and entered Linhuan. You are destined to be unable to swallow my troops. What are the things I have to do? The past is just passing clouds and smoke. Now the situation is different, why should I be resentful? In the past, we also fought side by side with the Fengxiang army and pacified the Huang Chao bandit army, but what we do now is no different from the past."
Li Maozhen was silent for a while.
She suddenly asked again: "When did you discover my identity?"
When Li Ye heard this question, he couldn't help but laugh.
Very naughty smile.
Li Mang, a murderous person, flashed in Li Maozhen's eyes.
After receiving Li Maozhen's warning, Li Ye coughed and pretended to be serious. "From the beginning to the end, Saint Ji and Li Maozhen have never appeared at the same time. This is the biggest problem. In Chang'an, I even saw the folding fan you used before appearing at the hands of Saint Ji. When you were dressed as a man, although you were more majestic, you saw too many clues like Saint Ji in your eyebrows and eyes - who told me that both of you and you have been together for a long time?"
Li Maozhen didn't speak.
Li Ye continued: "The final confirmation is that of course it was in Bagong Mountain. I intercepted Gao Pian and negotiated with me for such a big deal. How could you feel relieved if you didn't take action personally? After you asked all your questions, I confirmed your identity."
Hearing that he had revealed so many flaws, Li Maozhen couldn't help but blush, turning his head without any trace, not daring to look at Li Ye, but he was unforgivable, showing the strong and tough attitude of King Qi: "Hmph! I asked the 'Saint' to stop you that day because I wanted you to suspect that I was going to attack the rear and see if you could still hold on in that situation!"
Li Ye didn't want to expose Li Maozhen's lies, but after enduring it for a long time, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Li Maozhen turned her head and looked at her with glaring eyes, her eyes hanging down so much that she could hardly see her.
Li Ye waved his hand while covering his stomach, but still couldn't stop laughing, "You really... will stick gilds to your face! Maybe you have this intention, but the biggest reason is that you are not worried about the strange phenomenon of Moshan. It was Gao Pian who deliberately made it for you to show it, confusing you, leading a snake out of the hole, and then ambushing you to solve your conspiracy? To be safe, you appeared as the Saint Prince. As a result...haha, I accidentally saw through it and wanted to kill Gao Pian to silence me. Who will blame me?"
Li Maozhen was so angry that she wanted to bite her silver teeth.
It’s no wonder she thought so at the beginning that Gao Pian’s military and horses were too disadvantageous. If she wanted to occupy the Central Plains, she would find an opportunity to lead Li Maozhen out and ambush him. This was indeed the best choice.
"You bastard!"
Seeing that Li Ye became more and more crazy as he smiled, Li Maozhen couldn't help it after all, and raised his hand and slashed towards Li Ye.
Li Ye didn't cut it, but a good pavilion was destroyed in her hand knife.
In the rolling smoke and dust, Li Maozhen's figure broke through the air, and the Chixia spear had been held in her hand. Her anger made her face flushed. She stared at Li Ye who was floating on a big tree with a fierce look: "Li Ye! If you have courage, you will compete with me! I want to try, how powerful you are! If you lose today, your troops will belong to me!"
As he said that, he flew towards Li Ye with his gun.
Li Ye did not get up and leave as she wished, but the joking voice came clearly: "What are the male and female? What is the obvious thing for us, one female and one male, hahahaha!"
Seeing Li Maozhen starting to chase Li Ye all over the sky, Song Jiao stopped the eldest son Siming who wanted to take action, her eyes were filled with gloating: "You two can't get involved in this cultivation, wait. As soon as the princess comes back, we will have a good show."
......
Yangzhou.
As the core of Confucianism, the school has always been strict and orderly.
Not to mention that no one was making noise in groups, any louder voice would cause a roll of eyes. But now it was like a pot of boiled water, with wolf running around everywhere, shouting scholars, and the books were dropped all over the floor and there was no time to pick them up, just like a riot soldier had already killed in.
In fact, the situation is almost the same.
The news was brought by soldiers who retreated to Yangzhou, so it had spread throughout the city and could not cover it even if you wanted to cover it. The school, which had always been pure, was frightened by several scholars who ran back to the panic. After crying for their parents, the situation could no longer be controlled.
No one thought of controlling it.
"The army defeated Wuning, the King of Wu was killed by King An and King Qi, and Yang Xingmi led the navy to rebel... Now King Qi has led a million powerful troops and has begun to cross the river south!"
When Wang Zaifeng heard the news, he was commenting on the articles of a group of backward talents in the Xuan room, and the scholar knelt down and sat in the yard.
"This matter is serious?" Wang Zaifeng was startled, his beard trembled, and his eyes were staring at the scholar who came in and reported to him.
Judging from his appearance, if the other party dares to make trouble, he doesn't mind tearing the other party on the spot.
"It's true! Now the city is full of defeated soldiers, shouting that the King of Wu is defeated, and the city is in chaos. The cruel people, especially the monks, are taking the opportunity to burn, kill and loot everywhere... If the gentleman goes out, he can hear the crying..."
Hearing the scholar crying with a terrified face, Wang Zaifeng took a few steps back. The poem he had just commented as the best in his hand fell to the ground. His face turned pale and he murmured: "King An, King Qi, King An..."
Amid the shouts of Mr. Yipian, thinking of the current situation of the Confucian Sect, Wang Zaifeng felt dizzy, the sun and the moon were gone, and his chest was stuffy, and he couldn't help but spurted blood!
Seeing Wang Zaifeng shaking, the scholars rushed up in panic, held him in a hurry, and asked anxiously: "Sir, what should I do... what should I do? The King of Wu is dead and Huainan is defeated, what should we do?"
Wang Zaifeng vomited a mouthful of blood, and he felt much more relaxed, but when he heard these words, his heart began to surging violently again.
He vomited three mouthfuls of blood, but he could no longer hear the noise in his ears. He simply stretched out his thin hand to the sky, exclaimed with sadness and fainted.
