Wei Zheng seemed to start playing very respectfully, but his eyes raised from time to time, flashing with a strange light, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth... On the surface, these words were to celebrate Li Sheng, but in fact they were hinting, Your Majesty, forget it.
Bar……
Return the benefits. Can the benefits you, the old man, give to His Highness be more than the benefits His Highness gives to His Majesty? It’s really...
Wei Zheng has always had a reputation for being loyal and outspoken, and his character is indeed extremely upright. At this moment, Li Er was stunned and speechless...
"No, Xuancheng, you...you..."
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others on the side could hardly hold back their laughter.
Of course, there was one person who kept a more serious expression, that is Li Jing, who always had a plain smile on his face.
When Li Er saw that there was a "good man" here, he immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "Pharmacist, do you think I really treat my children poorly? I am clearly..."
"...If His Highness hadn't taken action, I would have been killed by the Turks long ago."
It was difficult to get up in the carriage, but Li Jing also held out his hand very seriously, "Your Highness... is the savior of Wei Chen."
The implication is, Your Majesty, you better stop struggling and just take the blame...
Li Er was completely speechless now. He could only sigh and said angrily, "All of you...really only know His Highness and don't know His Majesty..."
At this moment, Li Er didn't know whether to feel happy or unhappy... However, Li Jing's tone also made Li Er quickly come back to his senses and couldn't help but look at Li Jing, "The pharmacist has been out of the bitter cold land of Saibei for many years.
Suffered..."
Li Er said it very seriously this time, and...
When Li Jing came back this time, he didn't return to Nanshan to return to his fields. He was just temporarily called back by Li Er to spend the New Year cultivating himself.
It can even be said... If it were in previous years, during the coldest time of the year, even if Li Er called Li Jing to come back, Li Jing would not come back - what kind of person would he be if he did not accompany his soldiers when life was the most difficult?
General? Fortunately, the Anbei Protectorate has been built quite well now, and the Forbidden Army cannot freeze.
When Li Jing was asked to come back, Li Er originally wanted to get close to this powerful general and spend the New Year together. After all, as the founding king, he usually has many capable generals under his command, but there are no generals who are stable, loyal, and trustworthy.
So common.
Therefore, Li Er cherishes Li Jing as a high-ranking official. Of course...it was his initial idea to stay with Li Jing for a year, but later because of Empress Changsun's dissatisfaction, so...so he came here, and Li Er simply called Li Jing over.
Let’s go directly to Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year together...
However, when Li Er said this, Li Jing just smiled slightly, and then a look of worry appeared on his face, "What does it mean that Wei Chen has suffered so much? After all, we are not directly facing the enemy."
Li Jing was telling the truth. For a real Forbidden Army general, there are two completely different situations: directly confronting the enemy and not directly confronting the enemy. Even if the conditions are the same, but not directly confronting the enemy, the pressure is suddenly much lower.
Of course, what Li Jing wanted to express was not this. He went on to say, "Now the Tang Dynasty is at peace and peaceful, but we dare not relax. The real enemy is the one who knows integrity..."
That's right, in the Tang Empire at this moment, it was Cheng Yaojin who really faced the enemy directly. The oppression of the Roman legions was obviously much stronger than that of the remnants of the Turks and some nomadic tribes.
Of course, Li Jing is not without powerful enemies watching, for example... there is also a Tubo. This Tubo is also unusual. According to the division method of this period, the Tubo people are undoubtedly foreigners, but if they are traced back according to the molecular bloodline
, to be honest, the Tubo people and the Han people in the Central Plains are actually one family... The so-called Sino-Tibetan language family is not a concept made up casually.
In other words, the Han people's martial virtues, fearlessness of hardship, and lofty ambitions are not the same as those of the Tubo people.
Even because of the blessing of religion, sometimes it is even stronger!
And Li Jing, the governor of Anxi, seemed to be surrounded by enemies on all sides, but just like the famous prime minister Dou Ying in the Western Han Dynasty... In fact, Li Jing needed to keep an eye on Tubo in the west, Cheng Yaojin in the northwest, and Rome.
, the pressure is not small.
Of course, strong people can be found everywhere, and the strong people in China have adapted to the new information technology, life rules, and productivity, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of Tubo.
However, Li Jing's words were not all modesty, obviously... they meant something.
When Li Jing said this, Li Er, Wei Zheng and others were startled, and then they also fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Li Er raised his head and sighed slightly tiredly, "Now that the Romans have strong troops and strong desires, I am afraid that the people of Europe and Africa will also be in ruins."
After Li Er sighed softly, Wei Zheng and others also sighed. As scholar-officials... true scholar-officials, no matter where the people are, they are the same to them.
A true scholar-official is responsible for the entire "world"!
However, Li Jing did not speak, his eyes flashed, and he obviously had some thoughts.
Li Er saw Li Jing's expression and said, "Whatever the pharmacist has to say, it's okay to say it!"
"Um……"
Li Jing nodded and began to think, obviously arranging his manuscript. However, after thinking for a long time, Li Jing did not speak, but kept thinking about it. Finally, he took a breath, bowed his hands very seriously, and said, "Your Majesty, no matter whether the Romans are
A country with the Tao or a teacher without the Tao, both are powerful enemies."
Li Jing's words are somewhat intriguing.
However, Li Er immediately nodded in agreement.
If the Romans raised troops for "profit", they were unjust troops, but if the Romans also caught the "name", they were just troops. But all this is not that simple, because no matter whether the Romans were just or just
Unjust...How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? He is always a big guy. If you are not careful when you are in power, it is a crime.
Of course, Li Er also understands this truth. If he thinks about it along this line of thought... Li Er also becomes concerned about the situation in Europe, "This Roman country inherits the orthodoxy of the ancient country of Xila, and has cultural relics, laws, and order. It is indeed extraordinary and barbarian. Nowadays,
He divided his troops into two groups and seemed to be using his troops...but I don't know where to go. What does the pharmacist think?"
Nowadays, the most important thing for Datang... For a country, there must be more than one important thing.
Whether it's food, steelmaking, weaving, sea trade to collect gold and silver to lay the foundation for future progress, or playing chess with Rome and dominating the world, it's all a big deal, but since the Romans have already taken action, it's obvious that the latter is the
