Chapter 150 The man who traded with the Central Plains
When Bai Qi appeared outside the hall, the chat between Ji Wuying and Eunuch Gan ended here.
Seeing the figures of Eunuch Gan and Ji Wuying, Bai Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. These two old guys are not a good-looking lamp.
"Bai Zhenjun is here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time."
Eunuch Gan regained his expression in front of Emperor Li, and greeted Bai Qi in a plain tone. He had no relationship with Bai Qi. Even when Bai Qi was still in the army more than ten years ago, he had only met this young general several times. After all, neither Bai Qi nor Bai Qi was qualified to let him go and make friends and talk with him.
Bai Qi nodded, and bowed his hand and replied respectfully without any change in his face.
"Hello, Master Ji Jun, good to do my father-in-law."
Ji Wuying waved his hand quickly, poked his father-in-law with an impatient hand, and then said to Bai Qi.
"General Bai will wait outside the hall for a while, and let Eunuch Gan go and ask His Majesty for instructions."
Bai Qi nodded.
The old man Gan turned around and rolled his eyes at Ji Wuying, then walked towards the hall, pushed open the hall door, and walked in.
Not long after, Eunuch Gan walked out of the hall again and said aloud to Bai Qi.
"Bai Zhenjun is in."
Bai Qi bowed to Eunuch Gan again, took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the ground, then walked up the steps and followed Eunuch Gan into the hall.
Emperor Li in the hall also got up at this time, but he was still half lying on the couch, supporting his head with one hand, and his clothes were hanging on the ground. After seeing the three of them walking in, he saw that they were about to kneel down and salute, Emperor Li waved his hand and said seriously.
"No need to kneel down, come and give General Ji and General Bai a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ji Wuying said this, while Bai Qi just bowed and expressed his gratitude, but did not say anything.
To be honest, this is also the first time that Bai Qi has seen Emperor Li again after more than ten years.
More than ten years have passed, and Li Emperor has also changed a lot.
Bai Qi could not see the appearance of the past in the current Emperor Li, but this is normal. After sitting in that position for more than ten years, those who should have learned a lot due to the hardship of time. At least, the current Emperor Li is no longer as immature as more than ten years ago.
"General Bai, have you been doing well in Jiangling for the past ten years?"
Li Di picked up the tea that his father-in-law had just brewed for him and took a sip of it. He felt a trace of charm in the tea and closed his eyes, as if the question he had asked was just a casual question.
However, no matter whether the words Li Di asked had profound meaning or were just asking casually, as the sayinger did not intend to listen to the listener.
Except for the three people present, they did not think that the issue of Li Emperor had no deeper meaning.
Bai Qi stared slightly, said after thinking for a while
"Go back to Your Majesty, I have lived a good life in Jiangling for the past ten years. Over the years, with the help of Lord Mu of Laozhou, Jingzhou, I have read many articles and learned a lot of literary treasures."
Li Emperor opened his eyes, put the teacup on the hands of his father-in-law, and a little interested, and said interestingly.
"Oh? So, can I ask General Bai, you
During these ten years, which literary text has you read, or, General Bai, which literary text did you learn?"
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense with Li Di's words.
Yes, compared with the previous question, Li Emperor's words, to Ji Wuying, were heard and looked at, Li Emperor had already had some murderous intentions in it, but this was Ji Wuying's guess alone.
Eunuch Gan just looked at Bai Qi coldly at this. He was patient and was waiting for Bai Qi's answer.
"I have heard from Your Majesty that the articles I have read the most are Mr. Dong's articles. What I have learned is naturally Confucianism."
Bai Qi replied without changing his expression.
pretty.
Ji Wuying secretly gave Bai Qi a thumbs up at the answer. Bai Qi's answer was just right, just dissolving the murderous intention of Emperor Li to talk about Bai Qi. It's not bad. Bai Qi seems to be not a political idiot in his mind.
Why does Ji Wuying think so?
Mr. Dong in Bai Qi's words is Dong Zhongshu, one of the few Confucian scholars active in Jiangling literary world today. Dong Zhongshu's thoughts and doctrines have always been the most important. It is Dong Zhongshu who created the theory of the induction of heaven and man to demonstrate and maintain the lofty status of the monarch in a country. In addition, Confucianism originally advocated the idea of loyalty to the emperor. Bai Qi's meaning of this is to tell Emperor Li that he has now let go of his former hatred and is loyal to Nanli. As for whether he is loyal to him or not, it depends on whether Emperor Li is in his heart and whether he is the monarch who can sense the heaven and conquer the people.
Emperor Li's reaction was slightly absent at this time, and then he laughed happily, and pointed Bai Qi with his fingers and said, "As he smiled, he said."
"You, you, these ten years have passed and it has become much smoother. It seems that Jiangling has smoothed your Bai Qi's mind and edges a lot in the past ten years."
"It depends on your Majesty to cultivate it."
When Ji Wuying heard Bai Qi say this, she frowned and looked at Bai Qi. What does it mean to say this? Do you want to slap Your Majesty in the face? Didn’t you just say this by naming your Majesty?
It's over. You Bai Qi, you just thought you were not a political idiot. Now it seems that you are really worthy of your ten years of life in house arrest in Jiangling.
However, Ji Wuying's reaction did not appear in his imagination.
Li Di laughed and shook his head, saying
"You guy, you have to blame me for not being right. OK, so many years have passed, and I have gradually understood the dementia of what I did back then. Let's do this, Bai Qi, what wishes do you have in the past ten years to ask me if I can do it."
Li Emperor was surprised by Ji Wuying, which made Ji Wuying stunned. Isn’t it? What kind of play is this? Why didn’t Your Majesty give orders to hand Bai Qi over to the Jinyiwei prison of this dead eunuch? His Majesty, why did His Majesty say that he wanted to satisfy Bai Qi’s wish?
Is this the old man’s impression of His Majesty?
Bai Qi's expression on Emperor Li was unchanged, and he replied calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I have nothing to ask for, I just hope that Your Majesty can improve the dilemma of the three southern states. In this case, I and Your Majesty will die."
In an instant, after Bai Qi expressed his wish, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Eunuch Gan and Ji Wuying frowned at the same time, and their eyes were also wrong when they looked at Bai Qi.
When is Bai Qi not good to mention this? But at this time, can the conflict between the three southern states and other state departments be easily solved by His Majesty?
Bai Qi is still too impulsive.
After a long silence, Bai Qi finally said it
"Your Majesty, I have nothing else to think about."
Tsk, Bai Qi, isn’t this threatening Your Majesty?
Ji Wuying bit her lip and thought to herself that she was over. Does Bai Qi think that Your Majesty is not a headache? If you can do this with just one word, the late emperors would have solved this hidden danger long ago, and will it be left to this day?
Just thinking about how to help Bai Qi. Just think about it. Bai Qi is simply a teammate of pigs. He jumps into the fire pit. It’s okay if he jumps once. The old man pulls you up, and you keep jumping inside.
However, Li Di just stared at Bai Qi like this. After the two of them looked at each other for a long time, Li Di spoke.
"I can't do this now, but I can temporarily hand over the Tiance Army to you and you have the full command."
Li Di's words completely shocked everyone present.
Tian, Tiance Army?
Ji Wuying's face twitched suddenly. The Tiance Army was not an ordinary person. This thing, this thing, is an army of great significance to Nanli.
Although the Tiance Army was not affiliated with the Nanli Main Battle Legion, it was not the Nanli local army. It can also be said that its status in Nanli is higher than any main battle legion. Even the imperial guards guarding the imperial city would be worse than that in comparison.
The main reason why the Tiance Army was not affiliated with the main combat legion is that the previous military leaders of this army were all served by Li Emperors of all dynasties. How many opportunities would it have to participate in the battle?
However, although he had never participated in the battle, the combat power of the Tiance Army has always been only the first echelon of Nanli. Anyone who entered the Tiance Army was the elite of the elite who had experienced several life and deaths on the battlefield, and was selected by the Tiance Army and became an army soldier who obeyed the orders of Emperor Li.
This is the second time that the army has been entrusted to outsiders and the commander of the south is nearly a hundred years away.
The first time it happened was when Zhou Dunyi was the Grand Marshal of the Nanli Army. At that time, the Tiance Army had temporarily obeyed Zhou Dunyi for a while. After the war ended, Zhou Dunyi could not command any of the Tiance Army.
Zhou Dunyi is okay, after all, he was a leader among the previous princes. In addition, no matter how they say that, he was a member of the royal family, and it is reasonable for Tiance Army to obey Zhou Dunyi.
But now Bai Qi?
To put it bluntly, Bai Qi's past record was a rioter who had followed the King of Nanyue to overthrow the current rule of His Majesty. Now this rioter is going to take charge of the Tiance Army. What a joke it would be if this was spread.
However, it seems that when Li Di said this, he didn't seem to be joking.
Bai Qi was stunned.
However, Emperor Li chuckled and called Eunuch Gan. After whispering to Eunuch Gan, Emperor Li looked at Bai Qi again and said, "
