Chapter 1074 Fist has the final say
is also here to negotiate with Li Xin. Gongyangshu and Ye Lin have very different meanings.
Although Ye Lin is a civilian now, he is essentially a military general, and the Ministry of War is not in charge of negotiations. To negotiate, the Ministry of Rites should send someone to talk to Li Xin, and the reason why the emperor sent Ye Lin over is largely due to It was because of the relationship between Ye Lin and Li Xin, that is to say, in a sense, Ye Lin came to "persuasion" Li Xin in his personal capacity, rather than negotiating with Li Xin on behalf of the imperial court.
But Gongyangshu is different. Although the old prime minister is no longer serving at the Shangshutai, the imperial court appointed him here, which obviously represents the will of the entire imperial court. The emperor Yuan Zhao, I am afraid that he cannot deny it.
Li Shuo's camp was not very far from Luzhou, but because Gongyangshu was too old to ride a horse, Li Shuo still found a carriage and took him slowly to Luzhou City, waiting for the old man to reach Luzhou City. By the time we got to the door, it was already dark.
Li Xin gave him face very much and greeted the old man at the door in person.
Because the old man was old and there was no threat, Li Shuo asked him to bring two servants with him. The two servants helped the old man out of the carriage. Li Xin stood beside the carriage, bowed his hands slightly to the old man, and said. : "Lao Xiangye has worked hard all the way."
Gong Yangshu was old and had few teeth left, but he was still in good spirits. He first glanced at Li Xin, then smiled: "It's rare that Lord Hou can condescend to greet the old man."
"Lao Xiangye is an elder, and it is appropriate for the younger generation to greet him."
Gong Yangshu sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "Li Houye is a descendant who understands etiquette, and his character is also very good. I remember that in the early years of Yuanzhao, when the old man was able to re-enter the court, it was because of Li Houye. recommend."
"The old man is highly respected, and other than you, no one else can resist that scene."
The two chatted a few times about the past, Gongyangshu walked in front of Li Xin and walked towards the city of Luzhou.
He was old, and his waist was a little hard to straighten. He bowed slightly. Li Xin held the junior salute and followed him unhurriedly.
The two walked on the side of the road for a while, Gong Yangshu rubbed his waist and panted heavily: "No, I'm too old to walk, so I'm here today, the old man borrowed it from the Houye's mansion. How about staying for one night and discussing with Lord Hou in detail tomorrow?"
Li Xin nodded slightly: "The residence has been prepared for the old lady."
Li Xin took the old man to his residence and asked his servants to take him to the pre-prepared wing. It was getting late. Li Xin went back to the room to wash up, and then fell asleep. The next day Early in the morning, he still got up early to practice boxing, standing on the boxing post.
His set of boxing stances had to stand for an hour a day. After more than ten years, it had become a habit that Li Xinlei couldn't shake. If he didn't stand for an hour every morning, he would feel uncomfortable all day long.
After practicing for more than half an hour, Li Xin was already sweating profusely. At this time, Gong Yang Shu, who was wearing an ordinary cloth, was led by his servants and came to Li Xin's residence.
After learning that Li Xin was practicing boxing in the backyard, the old man was curious and walked to the backyard. After seeing Li Xin, who was covered in sweat, the old man looked at Li Xin seriously for a while, and praised, "Although this old man is not good at boxing, but when I come to Li Hou. It's really rare to have a position like yours, and to practice diligently every day."
Li Xin slowly let out a breath of white air, like an arrow.
This is the scene of his inner boxing success. He has practiced family boxing for more than ten years. Now he has a long breath, far from being comparable to ordinary people.
After collecting the fist pile, Li Xinxin wiped his sweat with a towel, then walked up to Gong Yangshu and said with a smile, "The superficial kung fu made the old man laugh. , it's like exercising."
Ram Shu smiled.
"I want to walk around Luzhou City with Lord Hou. I wonder if Lord Li has time?"
"It is an honor to be invited by the elders."
After having breakfast together, the two walked almost side by side on the streets of Luzhou City.
Luzhou City is very close to the capital. It was originally a prosperous city. Although Muying attacked Luzhou, the city panicked for a few days, and many people in the city fled, but the Southwest Army occupied Luzhou. After the state, there was no difference from before, except that the gates were blocked to prevent a large number of entry and exit, and even the security was better than before. After a few days, the city of Luzhou returned to its old appearance. It was early in the morning, and the streets and alleys Inside, there were already many voices of hawking, and the steamed buns and porridge shops along the street were all emitting steaming heat.
Gongyangshu walked on the streets of Luzhou, looked left and right, then glanced back at Li Xin, and said with some emotion: "Luzhou City has experienced wars, but the common people have not suffered disasters, which is quite rare, it seems that Li Hou The army is very strict."
Li Xin smiled indifferently: "The reason for raising the army in the southwest is to support the sixth prince to ascend the throne, not to rob the people, and the people will naturally not suffer from military disasters.
The old man gave Li Xin a nonchalant look and smiled: "I can bring the sixth prince back to the capital today, and within three days, the sixth prince will be enthroned in Weiyang Palace."
Having said this, the old prime minister looked at Li Xin and asked, "So, will Lord Li be willing to retire?"
"The words of the imperial court cannot be trusted."
General Li smiled and said: "When the Renchen Palace changed, the late emperor promised to always remember the merits of Yulinwei. Afterwards, Yulinwei became the most unpopular imperial guard among the three imperial guards. At that time, the emperor also said that he would always remember my credit, and as a result, I was assassinated by Meihuawei more than 20 times over the years."
"I am now letting the sixth prince enter the capital with the old prime minister. It is estimated that he will die of a sudden illness. The sixth prince is also the direct son of the late emperor. Why should the old man kill him?"
Ram Shu looked calm.
"Look, now the imperial court promises that the sixth prince can be enthroned, but Lord Hou can't trust the court, and when Lord Hou's southwestern army enters the capital, the court can't trust Lord Li."
He looked at Li Xin, and said quietly: "After all, once the Southwest Army enters Beijing, whether the surname is Ji or Li in this world will be in the mind of Lord Hou."
"Not many people can resist this temptation."
"That's why it's a waste of time to come to Luzhou."
The smile on Li Xin's face disappeared, and he said quietly: "We can only see the outcome on the battlefield, the Southwest Army enters the capital, and everything is up to me, what I say is what, otherwise if If I can't get into the capital, then I will go back to the southwest and be my local emperor."
"If you say something that goes against the teachings of the sage, you should say it with a big fist."
The old sheep frowned deeply, and after a long time, he stretched his brows.
"Master Li Hou, your anger is too heavy. If you really fight, the Southwest Army may not be able to enter the capital, and the forbidden army may not be able to win the Southwest Army, but one thing is certain, that is, both sides will be severely damaged."
"When the time comes, there will only be corpses scattered everywhere and blood flowing."
Li Xin was expressionless.
The old sheep shook his head and said, "Master Li, if the old man can stand in front of you, it means that you are willing to negotiate with the imperial court."
"And I can go out of Beijing, which means that His Majesty also wants to sit down and talk with Lord Li."
The old man's face became serious and his voice was low.
"Li Houye, you are also a Jin person, why do you have to make a mess?"
