Ten years ago, Li Longji said this without any problem at all.

Li Longji has the excellent bloodline of the Li family, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and extraordinary appearance.

However, ten years of imperial career in the palace were no different from those of later generations.

Time is like a pig's knife, leaving indelible traces on his originally handsome face.

The handsome and mighty face of the national character became plump and round, and the waist became fatter and the belly was thrust.

Although he has the noble character of a king, he really has nothing to do with his style and temperament.

On the other hand, despite his busy affairs, Pei still has never been able to stop his swordsmanship. He practices every day and has excellent body care. Not to mention that his eight-pack abs are so exaggerated, he doesn't have much fat.

Because of his age, he had a short beard, which made his already heroic and handsome appearance feel a little steady.

It is completely incomparable to Li Longji, who has gained weight.

In Pei's eyes, his current opponent should be Wang Wei, Yang Guozhong and others. Li Longji had already ruthlessly cut the pig-killing knife, which was completely out of the way.

However, it seems that Li Longji has no sense at all, and still thinks that he is the same as ten years ago.

"Sit down, General Gao, take the Longjing tea tributed by Hangzhou and make it for him. Jingyuan is an expert in this art, but he should have never tasted Longjing before. Try it, I think it is better than Shu tea than it is!"

In front of Li Longji, Pei was able to hide his weaknesses properly and would not show his erudition.

But then again, he has never tasted Longjing in this era.

Shuzhong is the birthplace of tea culture.

Hangzhou Longjing did originate in the Tang Dynasty, but it only developed after the Tea Saint Lu Yu.

Now that the Tea Saint is not born, there is naturally no such thing as Hangzhou Longjing Tea.

However, Pei did not expect that he had driven the development of tea culture and also allowed Longjing in Hangzhou to come out in advance.

Gao Lishi made Pei a cup of mint-flavored Longjing tea.

Pei’s favorite tea nowadays is Mengdingshihua. Mengdingshihua tea has a strong flavor and people who can’t get used to drinking it will feel very bitter. But as long as you get used to that bitter taste, the sweet aftertaste of later is indeed a unique place in the world.

Longjing is different.

Longjing tastes fragrant and has a fresh and sweet taste. It is exactly the opposite of the heavy-tasting Mengdingshihua, and each has its own strengths.

"Yes, this Hangzhou Longjing tastes aftertaste, slightly inferior to Mengdingshi Flower, but the color, taste and entrance are slightly better. It is indeed a good tea."

Pei Pin sipped and said with praise.

Li Longji waved his hand generously and said, "Jingyuan likes it. This Longjing is a tribute sent by Jiangnan. You can't buy it even if you have money outside. I don't like this, so I'll take more. After drinking it, I'll tell you, I'll send it to you."

Pei hurriedly thanked.

After a few greetings, Li Longji pretended to be inadvertently talking about the defeat of Nanzhao, and what happened in the court today, saying with some anger: "I am also considering the court, and I am not trying to shelter Zhang Qiantuo. Zhang Qiantuo is going to live, and I can't even relieve my anger when I peeled him off. But Nanzhao has killed him, and the whole family has not let him go. What should I do? Just find an innocent person as a scapegoat? There is no reason..."

It turned out that Li Longji didn't think about this and he was much more angry, but Pei's appearance gave him a partner to talk to, and he became angry and inexplicably.

Pei followed and said angrily: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, people who still say such sarcastic words should be cut off with one knife. No matter what nonsense or how noble they are, these people are hypocrites and animals in human skin."

Li Longji's eyes lit up, rubbed his palms against his thighs, and said, "Zhao Jingyuan means that you are advocating the matter in the south to continue fighting?"

"Must fight!" Pei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is no right or wrong now. Forty thousand Tang soldiers died in a foreign land and the people of Yunnan were robbed. This cannot be described as right or wrong. What I said before was not angry. I really think that those who face 40,000 lives and innocent people in Yunnan can still stand at the highest point of morality to question the problem. Now it is a war between two countries... The war between countries is only victory or defeat, no right or wrong."

"But I heard that it is not only the court, but also the folk customs!" Li Longji was the best at face and took into account his reputation in the hearts of the people.

Pei shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty hasn't heard that the truth is in the hands of the winner, right? We are so passive now, it's not that Zhang Qiantuo was wrong at all. Although he was wrong, he has paid the price for some. The reason for all this is the failure of the front line. As long as we can win, all unfavorable words will disappear."

Li Longji also knew this truth, and slapped the table in anger and said, "I only regret that Zhang Qiu Jianqiong is ignorant and let down the holy will." As he said that, he looked at Pei again and said, "In this way, the next battle can only be won but not defeated. Once it is defeated, the prestige of the court will be even more difficult to save."

Pei Ye nodded cautiously and said, "You can only win but not lose. Once you lose, the situation will be ten times more than today's crisis."

Li Longji said hatred: "I just regret that Jingyuan cannot escape from the West, otherwise I will be able to rest assured if I transfer you to Shu."

At this moment, the only person Li Longji believed in was Pei. He believed that if the command of the previous Nanzhao battle was replaced by Pei, he would never have the shame of today.

But he didn't know that in Pei's eyes, even if the Zhu led the team, wouldn't be like this.

Pei smiled and said, "I have countless generals in my dynasty. How can this killer of chickens be used to kill tigers and lions?"

He didn't say anything about a slaughter, and he claimed to be slaughtering tigers and lions with a little shameless attitude.

Not only did Li Longji not blame him, he heard it very comfortably and asked, "Would there be a suitable candidate in Jingyuan's heart?"

Pei scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This minister is far away from the West and knows nothing about the affairs of the court. I really don't know what kind of up-and-coming talents are in the Tang Dynasty, but I have a candidate under my command, which should be feasible."

Li Longji was shocked and said without hesitation: "Selecting the wise and not avoiding relatives, Jingyuan said quickly."

Pei Dao: "Ge Shuhan."

Li Longji had this name in his memory, and thought for a while and said, "Is it the general who killed Prince Tuqi Shi?"

"Yes, it's him!" Pei said with a promise: "Ge Shuhan is a man who cares about money and loyalty, and is very good at leading troops. I can protect my life, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

Li Longji did not agree immediately, but said, "Okay, I believe in your vision. But this matter is of great importance. I need to meet this Geshuhan. General Gao, you can immediately write a letter and summon Geshuhan to Chang'an."

His brows were stretched, and it was obvious that Pei had made up his mind for him.

Don't suffer this humiliation!
