Due to his kindness in assisting Han Yang and his good impression of Xiao Mubai, General Zhao followed the Marquis here half-heartedly.
At this time, he looked at Xiao Mubai, his eyes full of admiration: "I heard the emperor relay His Highness King Mo's eloquent refutation of Shi Fuqiu's remarks today, which was very good."
The Marquis looked proud again. He had been so happy from ear to ear after listening to the emperor's eloquent praise in the imperial study. Now he heard General Zhao take it out and praise it again, and he nodded with great satisfaction.
General Zhao glanced at Mr. Hou out of the corner of his eye and frowned at his expression of dismay.
It was rare for the Marquis not to feel frightened, and he even secretly rejoiced in his heart. If your father-in-law can tell you more, he is your grandson-in-law...
Xiao Mubai was quite humble towards General Zhao, and poured him a glass of wine with his own hands: "What he said is all true. Shi Fuqiu just wants to be a lawful guard, but General Zhao still wants to With our feet and iron cavalry, we can one day defeat the Hu Kingdom."
Old General Zhao picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and asked with lowered eyelids: "I will definitely destroy the Hu State, but can His Highness King Mo have the heart to massacre the Liang State?"
Xiao Mubai's eyebrows were still, but the Marquis changed his face first. He was looking arrogant just now, but he collapsed instantly. He looked at Old General Zhao and sighed in his heart, asking you to say more, but he didn't let you either. Asking such a pointed question...
The remaining three people also lowered their heads silently, but in their hearts they were looking forward to Xiao Mubai's answer.
Xiao Mubai poured another cup for General Zhao: "The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. The Xiao Kingdom has all the favorable geographical advantages, and the weather is not far away. As long as the internal affairs are harmonious, the unification of the world is just around the corner."
General Zhao slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay."
This shout woke up the remaining four people who were still shocked by these words, and the Marquis felt a mixture of sadness and joy in his heart.
Fortunately, a man should have such great ambitions.
The sad thing is that if this is the ambition to unify the world, this war will be fought for who knows what year and month. Xia Chu is afraid that he will have to guard Konggui alone.
Taifu Wu and Prime Minister Ju were more pleased, but Xiao Zimu was completely shocked by these words. He originally thought that Xiao Mubai was going to give him a kingdom.
But it turns out that the gift is the country.
But surprisingly, there is more than one...
The topic in Yongning Hall has already started from the early morning discussion about the structure of the Xiao Kingdom, and by the end, during the chat and drinks, it has gradually extended to the general situation of the world.
Xiao Yanjun, who was in the courtyard of Yufu Palace, still had a resentful look on his face, complaining to Concubine Li that he had missed out on the position of Prime Minister and the position of Minister of Etiquette...
Concubine Li was leaning on the railing of the courtyard, and Lian Yan was kneeling beside her, applying the gorgeous roux on her. Xiao Yanjun couldn't help but speak out when he looked at her light and airy appearance and continued: "Concubine, now Mo Mo Wang, Taifu Wu, and Master Ju are all celebrating in Yongning Palace. Just now, Sinan came to report that Mr. Marquis and Old General Zhao have also passed by. How can you still be so calm and calm? "
"Is it interesting to knock the mountain to shake the tiger?" Li Fei raised Lian Yan's painted fingers high in the air. The hot sun illuminated the bright red kodan, which became more and more beautiful, making her originally white hands delicate and white.
Xiao Yanjun raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, the concubine, are they deliberately making a big show of it just to show us?"
Li Fei took her hand back to her lips and blew on it: "I don't know whose idea it was."
Xiao Yanjun flicked his sleeves and looked a little anxious: "No matter whose idea it was, or whether it was intentional or not, it is a fact that we have lost two important official positions now!"
Concubine Li frowned, with a displeased look on her face: "Why are you panicking? If you are shocked by them, the flaw will be revealed. I see that you don't have to fight for the world. You can just be a leisurely prince."
Xiao Yanjun walked to the railing next to Concubine Li and sat down next to her, saying, "What my mother and concubine taught me is that I am a little impatient."
Concubine Li gently stroked Xiao Yanjun's handsome face. The face that inherited her beauty made her feel happy: "The position that Xie Jiming is occupying now is a hot potato, and it will be criticized by the public without us taking action. As for Mr. Ju, It remains to be seen whether we can hold on to the power in our hands."
Xiao Yanjun's eyes lit up: "I know what to do."
Concubine Li nodded slightly: "Look further and see the situation wider. If you become the king in the future, it will not only be about your position, but the rest will be your subordinates."
Xiao Yanjun felt solemn in his heart, and all the resentment he had held back in his heart in the morning disappeared in a flash.
"Mother, it's all done." Lian Yan packed up the remaining koudan beside her.
Concubine Li got up and took a leisurely stroll in the courtyard to soothe her muscles after sitting for a long time. Xiao Yanjun got up and followed her.
"You handled the Mongolian princess's matter well." Concubine Li praised her. Xiao Yanjun handled the matter beautifully, beyond her expectation.
If she had known that Xiao Yanjun didn't care about Shi Jiaying's current embarrassing identity, why would she have instructed Shi Jiaying to please Ao Denggerile, but it was self-defeating, and she was beaten down by Shi Fuqiu.
"Since my cousin is interested, she will only open her mouth when the matter subsides." Xiao Yanjun said while helping Concubine Li.
"In this aspect, you are quite emperor-minded." Concubine Li laughed.
"If Concubine Li wants anything from now on, just tell her directly." Xiao Yanjun couldn't laugh it off. If he had known that Concubine Li had this intention, he wouldn't have suffered the same crime as last night, and he wouldn't have put himself in a passive position. .
"This time, I have thought too much and have wronged you." Concubine Li stopped, and they had already reached the entrance of the courtyard: "Go and take care of things. Ask Min Zhisong to be careful and save some face for the emperor."
Xiao Yanjun bowed and retreated along the entrance of the courtyard.
Lian Yan saw him leaving and then followed her: "Mother, is it possible that the news from Zhu'er is wrong?"
Concubine Li turned around and said, "It must be correct. I guess it was Concubine Lian who did it on purpose."
Lian Yan stepped forward and helped her towards the palace: "On purpose? Since the emperor intends to promote Lord Ju as prime minister, Concubine Lian should not be happy, so why do you want to deliberately be unhappy with the emperor?"
Concubine Li sneered: "The Seventh Highness is so popular now. If Mr. Ju helps you to become the prime minister again, and if she is favored, she may be criticized by people with intentions. The Seventh Highness relies on the support of the mother and the concubine to promote her." A relative with a clear ambition."
This thoughtful person, well...
Lian Yan thought for a while before asking: "Hasn't the empress ever been afraid?"
Li Fei raised her eyebrows: "What are you afraid of? Criticism?"
Lian Yan whispered 'hmm'.
Concubine Li had a look of disdain on her face: "Youyouzhi, others will say so whether you do it or not. I'm afraid it will be of no use. She is worthless and just wants to hide, but I want to slap the whole world in the face."
The light at noon is particularly dazzling.
But what made Lian Yan dare not look directly at this light was not the light, but the Empress Li Fei in front of her...
