On the eighth day of the March 19th, the spring is bright.

"Mr. Li is here, come and have a tea to see Lord Li." Li Pu, a fellow disciple, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

The Minister of War Li Chengqian gave a polite sentence, then sat down and cupped tea. Li Chengqian didn't have much intention to drink it, but just picked it up and touched it.

On the other side, Li Pu walked back and forth for two steps before sitting down again, and said with a little tired smile: "Is this tea okay?"

In fact, it was a waste of time to ask. Who doesn’t know Li Chengqian’s origin? He can drink alcohol and drink tea for him. No matter how good he is, it is a waste of resources. However, Li Pu did not have a sarcasm, but he was just a simple politeness.

Over the years, Li Chengqian became more and more cunning. He smiled slightly and said, "It's not that Li Xiang didn't know that Li Yuanqing's tea tastes like a cow chewing peonies is mostly just a scene. Where can I taste good or bad?"

Li Pu smiled and said, "This tea was produced in Mingyuan, Sichuan. It was particularly popular among the tributes last year. I am fortunate to have some here. If Lord Li doesn't dislike him, I will send some to the Lord later."

Li Chengqian clasped his fists and smiled, "That's great thanks to Li Xiang."

However, as his eyes flashed, he looked at the person who was around and smiled and said, "When I came just now, I met General Zhang and saw that he was not in his mind. If there was an accident in the Privy Council?"

Li Pu looked at him and thought to himself, can the affairs of the Privy Council be hidden from you, the Minister of War? But I came to ask me if I was gloating or wanted to interfere in the Privy Council?

Thinking of this in his heart, he said, "The General has been leading troops outside for a long time. Now he probably feels bound. After a few days, he will definitely be full of energy and will no longer be sad today."

As soon as the joke started, both of them started to laugh.

But both of them were like mirrors in their hearts. General Zhang was very glorious a few days ago. Compared with General Zhao Shi who quietly returned to the capital, he was honored by countless honors. The palace gave banquets and congratulations to all officials. He was awarded countless rewards, not only was he granted the title of Marquis, but he was also promoted to the position of Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor.

If the prince had not been temporarily banned in the Eastern Palace, a prince's young security guard would have been indispensable.

It seems that it has been over the best. After more than two months of cultivation in the mansion, it has been served as the Privy Council. Whether it is artificial to others or the journey is really exhausted, others don’t know.

But the time to strike while the iron was hot was indeed over. When we arrived at the Privy Council, the Privy Councilor Wang Dao had nothing to do. But there was also a Privy Councilor who was in charge of the post. This old minister of the two dynasties had been ups and downs for decades, and probably he was still unwilling to accept his old age. He had complained about General Zhang's future appointment in the Privy Council for more than two months.

When the general really took office, the two of them fought. General Zhang led troops for many years and had never served in the center. Who was Zhong Congduo? He was a man who had served as the Minister of War and had served as the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council for many years. How could General Zhang deal with it?

After a few soft nails hit, General Zhang touched the ashes. The Privy Council was not watching jokes, but most of them stood on the side of the Privy Council, which had been operating in the Privy Council over the years. It was no less than that of the Privy Council envoy Wang Daocun, let alone Zhang Peixian.

In addition, there was a King of Wei who was dissatisfied with General Zhang. Who knew the grudges of that time? General Zhang Peixian seized the opportunity. He stabbed the King of Wei from the back and then led his troops to Tongguan, and gradually became more powerful. He was just a deputy general under the command of the King of Wei back.

Since Zhang Peixian took office, His Highness, who has never cared about the Privy Council, has been on time and on time. He has gone against General Zhang for nothing else, which has made General Zhang even more uncomfortable.

After the glory, he was so difficult to walk, and his colleagues and subordinates almost attacked in groups. Not only did he himself not expect this situation, but Li Pu, Li Chengqian and others, but he had never thought about it?

Zhang Peixian had a hard time saying that he tasted the taste of Zhao Shiping Shu and seizing the military power after he returned from Zhao Shiping. In fact, this situation is not uncommon among the government and the country. Many meritorious soldiers returned to the capital and served in the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, which was somewhat stumbling.

Some people survived, while others disappeared from now on. The different paths of literature and martial arts are particularly obvious in this.

Leading troops to fight and handling government affairs is originally different. General Zhang suffered this problem, which is actually reasonable, but it still caused many people to almost drop their chins.

Who are Li Pu and Li Chengqian? They knew in their hearts that this situation would not last too long. General Zhang Peixian was appointed by His Majesty. The saints are in their own hands, and the seeds are old and old. This year, it will be next year. Zhang Peixian will sooner or later take up the position of Deputy Envoy of the Privy Councilor. There is no doubt about this.

As for the voice of asking General Zhang Peixian to transfer to the northwest to take over Zhang Zu and serve as the commander of Yanzhou, there is no need to pay attention to it. There is no reason, especially since His Majesty gave General Zhang the position of Deputy Privy Councilor, no matter how the orders were changed every day.

Speaking of which, whether they were in the Privy Council, whether they were the same disciple Pingzhang Li Pu, the Minister of War Li Chengqian, or even the Privy Councilor Wang Daocun, they were all happy to see these accidents. The general returned with his merits, and the limelight was too high. If they were not suppressed, where would the imperial court be?

The soldiers in front made contributions, but the officials in the court tried their best to support them later. Could it be that there was no contribution to the slightest contribution?

I have to say that this mentality sounds a bit awkward, but in fact, this is the true psychology of the ministers in the court, and in theory, it is reasonable, and this is the root cause of the conflict between the civil officials in the court against the generals who returned with merit.

But the two of them actually understood that General Zhang Peixian would not be in trouble for too long, otherwise, not only would they not agree, but His Majesty would not agree. It would be impossible for the soldiers in front of the formation to make contributions to the country.

Therefore, the little incident caused by the Privy Council can make General Zhang look dirty for a while, and by the way, it will naturally calm down in a few days. As for whether General Zhang can hold a firm position in the end, it depends on his own nature and ability.

If you want to gain a foothold in the court, you can't rely on others. Others are all fighting Taiping Fist, and it's okay to say a few words to you. If others are asked to help you with all their strength, there are not many people who have this friendship with General Zhang.

Li Pu didn't say that Zhang Peixian was not complaining about him. I think General Zhang couldn't take that face. This time he came to Zhongshu because he had official duties.

What we discussed was the stay and departure of another general Zhang, Zhang Zu, in the northwest, and the successor. This was a thankless matter. General Zhang was undoubtedly in this matter because it should have been a kind of subordinate job...

There was no result, because the elite soldiers and generals of the imperial court were all in two parts of the Heluo River. Whether it was the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Secretariat, or the Majesty, they had no intention of sending troops back from the east now.

The envoys of the two countries' peace talks have indeed arrived in Chang'an, but it is normal for peace talks to be discussed for a year or two. Therefore, the Qin soldiers in Heluo in Heluo have increased and there is no reason to transfer generals to the northwest.

For a moment, there was a lack of people in the court, so he could only drag it. Li Pu really hoped that General Zhang, the northwest, would not be too bad, otherwise, the court would have a headache. However... he deliberately suggested to the emperor and transferred the man to the northwest, but he didn't know whether it would be successful or not.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and turned their conversation away tacitly.

"This time I invite Lord Li to come here in person, I want to hear what the Ministry of War means if you have something to do."

Li Chengqian immediately sat upright, "Oh, please speak with Li Xiang."

Li Pu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Jin people, the envoys of the Later Zhou peace talks have arrived in Chang'an. It seems that the Hou Zhou is trying to delay it, waiting for the envoys to send a message later, and then talk to us in detail about where the Jin people..."

Speaking of this, Li Pu shook his head and frowned, "The golden man is arrogant, he is known to everyone. When he saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation..."

Li Chengqian sneered, "The Jin people are already dead and have no fear. They are not arrogant. They are not aware of the current affairs and etiquette. More than ten years ago, those Jin people envoys came to Chang'an. Zhang Qiang was arrogant and arrogant. They set up ambush outside the palace to assassinate the imperial officials. I want me to say that Jin people are worse than pigs and dogs, and they should be killed... Well, what do the Jin people say?"

Li Pu was in the Secretariat and was a supplementary minister, so he became more taboos in his words, but he agreed in his heart and smiled slightly, but if he looked closely, he would find that his smile became a little cold.

"The Jin envoy insisted that the river would return to the Jin Kingdom, and would pay annual monies, etc...."

Li Chengqian had a heavy eyebrows and sneered: "Imitation..."

However, his eyes flashed and he looked at Li Pu and said, "Is there anyone who proposed to agree to the Jin people's request? If so, the Ministry of War has to fight for the reason. The Jin people are insatiable. If they lose in the battle, they are still so arrogant. If they win, they will not be able to surrender?"

Li Pu smiled and said, "Okay, what I want is Lord Li's words. I'm also making a statement in front of His Majesty..."

Li Chengqian was shocked. There was something in his words. But then he thought of Duan Wenfang who was in the river and was also a little annoyed. Duan Wenfang went to the Jin Dynasty to negotiate peace, so he stayed in the river, which caught him off guard. You know, Duan Wenfang had always wanted to go to the Privy Council to offer services over the years, and he was happy to see it. He recommended it with all his strength, but after a long journey, he became a rank-in official in the river. This was not his efforts. It was Duan Wenfang's own idea or who was there, and it was hard to figure out whether it was Duan Wenfang's own idea or who was there.
