As soon as Li Ji said this, not only did Li Hong's face suddenly become gloomy, but even Pei Xingjian was shocked. △

What he didn't expect was that what Li Ji said today was so extraordinary and straightforward. Since ancient times, royal affairs have been taboo. As a minister, as long as he is involved in such a thing, there will be almost no good result.

Li Ji's two sentences almost pointed out the current situation of the royal family. The emperor wanted to sharpen his knife with King Yong, but Li Hong had to take risks for this. The current trend of court officials is a clear proof.

If it were before, how could so many court officials dare to visit Prince Yong's Mansion so blatantly and frequently?

But in fact, for the Eastern Palace, if you do your best to deal with Li Xian, it will be no difficult to beat him up for a disaster.

But Li Hong didn't, not because he was afraid of offending Li Zhi.

I'm afraid that Li Zhi hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind. Those who are kings must have both kindness and kindness and thunderous means.

What made Li Hong most worried about Li Zhi was that he was too kind and honest. He naturally wanted to make the knife sharper. It can be said that as long as Li Hong could make that decision, the emperor's test on him would pass, rather than becoming a stalemate like now!

But what no one could see was pointed out by Li Ji today.

Li Hong is not Li Zhi, and the crown prince is not the emperor. Li Zhi's meaning is Li Zhi's meaning after all, not Li Hong's original intention.

He is Li Hong, so he can't make up his mind or act like this thunderous method!

So the remaining path is to boil the frog in warm water!

The Eastern Palace is powerful, so Li Hong doesn't have to worry about losing. He chose to weaken Li Xian's power little by little, Li Yifu, Pei Yan, when he had not noticed before, the hidden threads that Li Xian had inserted in various places were removed by Li Hong step by step.

This method is very safe and best suited Li Hong's wishes. As long as Li Xian has no power in his hands, even if he is willing to do something, he is still powerless.

This is the only way Li Hong could think of to protect Li Xian.

But his thoughts have never been told to anyone, and even Li Zhi must have not seen through them. Unexpectedly, Li Ji told them out today.

"Okay, Gu agreed!"

Li Hong looked at Li Ji's calm face, but after a moment, he agreed.

Liu Rengui is the most powerful force in Li Xian's hands now. As long as he is destroyed, Li Xian will never be able to jump around again.

So although Li Ji wanted to take advantage of this deal, Li Hong still agreed.

But then he frowned again and spoke softly.

"But if it is just the name of the Eastern Expedition, it may be difficult to completely transfer Liu Rengui? Even if he takes command this time, the Political Affairs Hall that he temporarily leaves will be just a temporary departure. If the Political Affairs Hall is not out of here, even if he is helping each other, it may be difficult to push General Pei up!"

You should know that Liu Rengui is the right Pushe of the Shangshu Province. His identity is extraordinary and it is impossible for him to be easily dismissed for no reason.

Even if Li Ji had a high prestige in the military, he could convince Li Zhi to let Liu Rengui re-carry his gun and go to Goguryeo, no matter how long the war lasted, it would end.

Not to mention, according to Pei Xingjian's estimate, this time it can almost be said to be a sure victory battle. When Liu Rengui returns with military merits, his momentum will only be even better than the past.

Besides, the Political Affairs Hall has always been a radish and a pit, although it is the prime minister in the Political Affairs Hall.

However, only the chiefs of the three provinces can be considered legitimate prime ministers. The rest, like Li Yiyan, the minister of the Secretariat and Xue Yuanchao, who barely joined the Political Affairs Hall with the title of "The Third Rank of the Secretariat and the Secretary of the Secretariat", had a lower status.

His reputation is not that nice, but who is Pei Xingjian? Since he wants to carry the military banner, he naturally cannot use this method to become the prime minister. He must have a chief official among the three provinces!

Even if Liu Rengui went to war, his identity as a Pushe in the Shangshu Province would not be abandoned. This is what Li Hong was confused about.

"Your Highness is afraid that Liu Rengui will return with a great victory. Not only will he not give up his position in the Political Affairs Hall, but will his status be more stable?"

Li Ji narrowed his eyes and said without caring.

Li Hong did not say anything, but nodded slightly and expressed his attitude.

"Your Highness is relieved that this is the result of this expedition. The contribution of Liu Rengui will not fall on Liu Rengui, because I have no plans to hand over the position of commander to him!"

After a pause, Li Ji continued to speak.

But this time Li Hong was a little confused. Pei Xingjian was not good, and Liu Rengui was not good either. Could it be that Xue Rengui was allowed to go?

But with Liu Rengui's identity, how could he listen to Xue Rengui's account?

"In this Eastern Expedition, I plan to let Liu Rengui and Xue Rengui fight together!"

As if to confirm Li Hong's guess, Li Ji then spoke.

And this time, even Pei Xingjian's face suddenly changed. It was obvious that even Pei Xingjian didn't know about Li Ji's decision and spoke urgently.

"Master Li can't!"

Unexpectedly, Li Ji raised his hand and pressed him down, indicating that he should not be anxious, while Li Ji himself said incredibly calmly.

"In this Eastern Expedition, I will write to His Majesty and ask to take charge in person!"

Li Ji's tone was calm, as if he was just saying something insignificant. In Li Hong's ears, it was like thunder on the ground, which made him stand up directly.

"What?"

Whether Li Ji asked Xue Rengui to take action, or wanted to support Pei Xingjian, or the deal he had just negotiated with Li Hong, it did not make Li Hong so shocked as he is now.

Who is Li Ji?

That was the first person in the military. In the current court, the emperor's most trusted old minister, holding an axe and halberd, could be executed first and then reported when necessary. The guards and patrols in the capital were all in Li Ji's hands.

Not to mention going to the battle, he has not taken a step forward in Chang'an City for many years. Now, this Eastern Expedition, which is almost a sure victory, actually requires labor to take action himself. How is this possible?

If it were someone else, even Pei Xingjian, Li Hong would only think that he was telling a joke, but the person who said this was Li Ji himself!

"Mr. Li, just Goguryeo, how can you do it yourself? Whether it is General Xue or Liu Pushe, you can handle this. Master Li just needs to be in charge of Chang'an and wait for good news. Why do you have to do this!"

And it was not only Li Hong, but also Pei Xingjian. As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, he spoke anxiously.

In contrast, Li Hong accepted it much faster and quickly calmed down, frowned slightly, and spoke softly.

“Why?”
Chapter completed!
