At the night banquet, the village leaders didn't take the two boys behind Fang Wei seriously at first. It wasn't until they heard Li Wenquan's roll call that they turned their attention to Tang Ji, feeling confused in their hearts.
The King of the North Capital would actually ask such a question to a boy with no hair at all?
Tang Ji didn't expect that the other party was still paying attention to him. He originally wanted to say something perfunctory, but after thinking about it carefully, if he could get the other party's appreciation and stay in the palace, it would be much easier to do things in the future. He pursed his lips and considered it.
After a while, he stood up and replied seriously: "I would like to inform you, Prince Qi, that I feel that rebellion is not a long-term solution."
Li Wenquan also became interested and picked up the wine glass: "Oh? How do you say it?"
Tang Ji licked his lips, cupped his hands and replied: "Now, the war in the northwest has lasted for nearly a month, so there are only three options before the prince. One is to send troops immediately to support the border. But in that case, the court will
You may be convicted afterwards; secondly, to raise troops to rebel, as the village leaders said, taking advantage of the imperial court to deal with Jiang State, march eastward to expand the land, but have you ever considered that if we occupy the northwest?
If the border pass fails, we will face a double blow from Ningguo and Jiangguo. Another point is that the agricultural and commerce in the northwest is not developed, and the supply of food and grass may not be available. Thirdly, since we can't fight hard, we have to outsmart and fight with the people of Jiangguo.
Negotiate terms, you help them break through the barrier, and after they seize the land of Ning State, let the prince alone control a county, and then secretly accumulate strength and plan for big things."
After hearing what he said, Liu Qicai, who was standing next to the main seat, suddenly widened his eyes. This guy actually guessed the prince's plan?
Li Wenquan was startled at first, glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and then smiled and said: "Master Fang, you have such a fierce general in your village, why haven't you heard of it before?"
Fang Wei pretended to be naive and smiled and touched his head: "My lord, you also know that our bandits are quick to act, and we don't understand these twists and turns very well, so we don't take this kid seriously, but he is so
Zhang Xiaozui is really lovable, why don’t we bring him to the city to learn more!”
Li Wenquan nodded slightly and did not continue the conversation. He waved to Tang Ji to sit down and took another sip of wine: "As little brother Tang said just now, there are too many variables in starting a rebellion, so I plan to continue to wait and see for a while, but now the people of the northwest are worried
It has been somewhat scattered, so I need you to help me again. After the incident is completed, you can bring the elite strength in the village to join the Yingzhou army. From now on, the six of you will also be my king's capable generals!"
Hearing this, the six village masters did not hesitate at all and said in unison: "I will obey the prince's instructions!"
Tang Ji held the chopsticks in his hand and ate the food with a natural expression, but the thoughts in his mind had already drifted to nowhere.
First, he wants to seize military power, then collude with bandits, and control the hearts of the people. It seems that this guy is determined to rebel, but why is he still waiting? What is he waiting for?
Thinking of this, Tang Ji suddenly remembered what he had just said and opened his mouth slightly.
Is it possible that this guy is already preparing to negotiate with Jiang Guoren?
Li Wenquan didn't know what he was thinking. He laughed twice and then said: "Okay, in that case, let's discuss the specific arrangements in detail tomorrow. Let's have a drink tonight first!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come!"
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
"..."
In this way, the banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Three of the village owners drank so much that they fell unconscious and were eventually taken away by their subordinates. When everyone in the main hall had almost left, Fang Wei shook his head and stood.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, that subordinate also takes his leave first."
Li Wenquan supported his head on the low table with his arms, rubbed his brows, and replied with a smile: "Master Fang, go slowly."
Immediately, Fang Wei led Tang Ji and Hua Yuan'er towards the gate, but before they crossed the threshold, another voice came from behind.
"Little brother Tang, I have thought about it and feel that what you said is true. Yang'er really needs to have more contact with people. Therefore, if you have nothing to do in the past two days, you can come to the house to play at any time."
After listening to Li Wenquan's words, Tang Ji quickly turned around: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Just like that, after making sure that the other party was fine, Tang Ji turned around and kept up with Hua Yuan'er. Unexpectedly, a girl suddenly appeared from the side, bumped into his shoulder, and then fell to the ground. He quickly said with concern: "Girl
, are you okay?"
The girl in the light blue dress covered her head, her big eyes were misted, and her cheeks were bulging with anger. Combined with her duck-oval face, she looked a bit cute.
A maid who followed immediately helped her up: "Princess, are you okay?"
Hearing this title, Tang Ji was slightly surprised and immediately said: "The villain deserves to die, he offended the princess."
Li Yushu stood up and patted her butt, pursed her lips, and was about to accuse the other party, but when she raised her eyes to see the other party's appearance clearly, she did not say the words that came to her lips, and just stood there blankly for a while, waiting for her.
After coming back to his senses, all that was left was the figure of the other party, who pursed his lips and then walked into the house.
"Father!"
Hearing this call, Li Wenquan raised his head and said with a smile: "Shu'er, what time has it been? Why haven't you rested yet?"
"Hehe, I made something delicious and wanted to give it to my father to taste." Li Yushu replied with a smile, then tapped the table twice and signaled the maid to put the things down, then opened the food box and took out a bowl of black cakes.
, then took one out and handed it to Li Wenquan's mouth: "Father, please try it!"
Li Wenquan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he already had the experience of tasting the pastry, so he opened his mouth and took a bite of the pastry.
"How is it?" Li Yushu looked expectantly.
"Well, it's delicious. Everything my Shuer makes is delicious!" Li Wenquan praised with a smile.
"Hehe, then this place is all reserved for the father. The mother and concubine have already gone to bed. The rest will be sent to her tomorrow." Li Yushu quickly closed the food box. She originally wanted to watch her father eat two more pieces, but
There are more important things now, so I quickly asked: "Father, who is the young man who just went out?"
Li Wenquan naturally saw the scene where she collided with Tang Ji and smiled calmly: "An interesting young man, but he is indeed a bit rude. Come back to the house tomorrow and ask him to apologize to you."
When Li Yushu heard that the other party would come again, she immediately showed joy and nodded: "Father, please rest early, Shu'er will leave first!"
Li Wenquan gave a few more instructions and watched her leave. Soon after, the smile on his face disappeared. He raised the bowl and spit out all the cakes he had just eaten. He drank tea and rinsed his mouth. He ordered with a focused look: "Go and ask Chen Jinshun."
Take a look at this Tang Ran."
Hearing this, Liu Qicai nodded and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong with him?"
"There is indeed something abnormal about a golden phoenix emerging from a bandit's den." Li Wenquan took a deep breath and then added: "If there is no problem, then he should not be buried in the Black Dragon Village."
Liu Qicai knew that the prince understood his love for talents, so he didn't say anything more and replied: "Yes!"
At the same time, a sweet voice came from the path leading to the backyard: "I found it, I found my ideal husband!"
