Qi Jing Shicai's words can be described as a double entendre.
Judging from the literal meaning, it seems that he was complaining about the unfavorable rewards from the imperial court, which chilled the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies. However, judging from its hidden connotation, it was obvious that he was expressing dissatisfaction to the emperor.
The dissatisfaction mentioned here includes many things, but it mainly refers to the unfair treatment suffered before.
The temple is blind to rewards and punishments, so it is criticized by people all over the world.
Li Hongyu is no longer the young Amon he used to be. He already has a deeper understanding of the handling of government affairs. Therefore, as soon as Qi Jing's words came out of his mouth, he suddenly understood the meaning.
However, it sounded to Qi Yu that he had a different understanding.
Qi Jing first praised the great rivers and mountains of Mobei, and then raised questions about rewards and punishments. This was obviously a hint that the emperor would have to pay something if he wanted to own this territory.
If you want to make a profit without making promises, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
In fact, Qi Yu had expected this matter, but he didn't expect that Qi Jing would bring it up so soon after they met.
According to his opinion, it would be more appropriate to discuss this matter at the Jie Feng Washing Banquet.
Let’s talk about the present first.
Li Hongyu picked up the horse's reins, deliberately slowed down his speed, and rode alongside Qi Jing. He said: "I am young and ill-informed, and have done some ridiculous things that hurt people's hearts. I hope Aiqing will ignore the past suspicions and take the overall situation into account."
The most important thing is not to dwell on the grievances of that moment!"
After hearing this, General Qi's face looked a little better.
In any case, the emperor finally showed a posture of admitting his mistake frankly, and did not insist on his own wrong opinion aloofly.
Yes!
The most important thing is attitude.
If the attitude is not correct, nothing will happen.
However, attitude alone is not enough. What Qi Jing wants is a more practical and reliable reply, or in other words, a formal commitment that can make him feel safe.
His thoughts are somewhat complicated.
He neither wants to split the country and become a sinner of history, nor does he want to become a political victim and end up like a rabbit or a dog. Therefore, he is pursuing a safe method that balances both ends.
And the above words are his words that deliberately lead in that direction.
However, the emperor, who knew full well, could not come up with a decent charter. All he could do was to express his position in principle.
When he went into detail, he couldn't explain why.
"Qi Aiqing, my father once said that running a big country is like cooking small dishes, and you will definitely not be in a hurry. Therefore, I hope Aiqing will be more patient and let me think carefully about the details."
"There's no rush, Your Majesty might as well think about it slowly."
Seeing that the emperor was really in trouble, Qi Jing also stopped pressing forward in time.
However, these words just now created a good start for communication. At the very least, they can create a good harmonious atmosphere for the following reception banquet.
This is enough.
Without this foreshadowing, the Holy Emperor might have received a disgraceful rejection this time.
That's right, if they can't agree on a framework, Qi Jing won't entertain him too much.
In short, it is to convince people with reason first, and then consider other methods if the reason does not work.
The result was pretty good, and both parties jointly created a good opportunity for negotiation.
No blushing occurred.
Qi Jing deliberately avoided the emperor and found Qi Yu: "Shaocheng, do you know that today's dust-washing banquet is of great significance?"
Qi Dalang was stunned when he heard this and asked: "What kind of extraordinary method is it?"
"First, it's natural that the emperor has arrived and the flowers are shining brightly; second, it's because I got some exciting good news."
"oh?"
The first one is a nice word to say to save face, but I simply ignored it. The key is the second one.
This is the point.
"Tell me, is there any good news worthy of praise?"
"The Donglu army's food and fodder are currently running low."
Not good?
Gee, this is indeed good news and worth celebrating.
However, there are some puzzling aspects here.
Donglu has been entrenched in Goryeo for many years and is deeply rooted. How could it be so easy to run out of food and grass?
Moreover, they had just taken down the granary in the Goryeo Kingdom not long ago. Even if they ate freely, it would still be enough to sustain them for half a year.
Unless Qi Jing made some special move in private and successfully destroyed the storage.
really!
When Qi Yu looked over, Qi Jing nodded to him knowingly, and then the two of them laughed tacitly...
The north wind whistles and the snowflakes rustle.
Amidst the falling snow to welcome the spring, Emperor Li Hongyu’s reception ceremony officially began.
Just as Qi Jing said, today's banquet is special.
This meal is not only as simple as catching the wind, but it is also an annual New Year's Eve dinner.
According to the practice of Da Fengguo, today's Holy Emperor will wear a brand-new dragon robe and preside over the Zhengdan Palace in the Jinluan Hall. However, in this wild frontier, is it possible to achieve it?
How sad!
After two glasses of wine, Li Hongyu said sadly with emotion: "In the new year, I hope that my country will have good weather and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."
Qi Jing then said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. At present, the world is at peace and all countries have surrendered. It can be said that as long as the Korean Peninsula is captured, there will be no other foreigners on our shores of Dafeng."
This is true.
Only with the fall of Goryeo can the Great Feng Dynasty be truly stable.
Thinking of this, Li Hongyu said with great regret: "All the Tibetan tribes have been destroyed, only Korea has survived. What is beautiful is not enough!"
Qi Jing said with a smile: "In my opinion, defeating the bandits is as easy as a piece of cake. Your Majesty only needs to give an order, and I will make this shortcoming perfect."
"My dear...have you thought of a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
"I don't dare to use good strategies, but I am quite confident in winning Goryeo."
Such a good thing, then what are you waiting for?
Fight quickly!
Although the emperor did not speak to urge him, a look of covetousness was already visible on his face.
Qi Jing smiled and said: "If Goryeo is captured, will your Majesty allow me to remove my armor and return to my fields, retire and return to my hometown?"
"This..." The emperor was stunned by this sudden question.
Obviously, there is a transactional flavor in these words.
In other words, Qi Jing is still worried about his future, and after all this time, he has no intention of letting go.
Li Hongyu didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at Qi Yu, hoping that he could assess the situation and give some advice.
"Your Majesty, General Qi is in the prime of his life and is the leader of the country. How can he relieve himself of his heavy burdens and enjoy peace and quiet?"
Both Android and Apple are available.】
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Qi Yu's answer was categorical, not conclusive but almost conclusive, leaving no room for doubt.
