The bright yellow figure sat behind the eucalyptus in the imperial study. Below him were several officials in their prime who sat quietly, watching the young emperor approve a few words on the memorial.
"It was expected that Ma Yin would become a minister... He has always had no bones. The best way is to make friends from far away and attack close by. The Jin army is about to go south. Although Zhu Youzhen is lingering, after all, the airs are still there. These princes will still be appeased for the time being. .”
Li Jing spoke a little too fast, but everyone in the hall heard it clearly and immediately nodded in agreement.
Looking around at these people, they were all close and familiar to Li Jing.
Liu Zhijun, in addition to leading the Hanzhong Jiedu Envoy, is also the Protector-General, Guanglu Doctor, and a hereditary marquis.
It can be said that everyone in his family has reached the sky because of him.
Several other people were also civil and military officers who followed Li Jing on his expedition. The lowest-ranking official was Feng Dao, a third-rank official.
Listening to Li Jing's words at this moment, Liu Zhijun got up from the chair where he only sat in the corner, bowed and spoke.
"Your Majesty, all the ships built by the army are at Chang'an Ferry, and the ships in the border towns of Jin State have been collected by Li Cunxu. The Jin army went south with just one thought. Now that Li Keyong listens to the edict and does not listen to the declaration, he will definitely be the biggest factor in destroying Liang. Threat...But Liu Shouguang of Yan has demoted himself to the king of Yan. Should we send an envoy to confront the Jin army..."
Li Jing was sitting behind the bookcase, leaning on the chair casually. After hearing Liu Zhijun finish speaking, he smiled indifferently and looked at Feng Dao, who was sitting at the end of the hall.
"Doctor Feng had served as a staff member under Liu Shouguang before. Regarding Liu Duhu's suggestion, Dr Feng might as well talk about Liu Shouguang first."
Everyone looked at Feng Dao. Feng Dao just smiled indifferently, then stood up, bowed to Li Jing and then continued to stroke his beard.
"What the Holy One said is to make friends at a distance and attack at a close distance, which is actually a good strategy, but Liu Shouguang's people can only show their kindness, but they can't expect more from them. Liu Shouguang killed Liu Rengong and established himself as King of Yan, but he was extremely stupid and only knew how to be arrogant and enjoy pleasure. If you want to Compared with me, this person is worse than Zhu Youzhen. And Liu Duhu said that he would use Yan to attack Jin, and I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to give Liu Shouguang a hundred more courage."
Li Jing just looked at Feng Dao with a faint smile, and saw that the interest of everyone in the palace was attracted by Feng Dao. At the same time, he sat up slightly and listened quietly to Feng Dao's words.
"Last year, General Zhou Dewei of the Jin army attacked Yan and trapped Liu Shouguang for more than half a year. All the prefectures and counties of Yan were forced to surrender. After that, Liu Shouguang no longer dared to provoke Li Keyong. If he were allowed to attack Jin now, I'm afraid he would not be able to do anything. It’s not what you want.”
Li Jing nodded slightly and saw that Liu Zhijun was a little disappointed, but he also stood up and clasped his fists towards Li Jing.
"In this case, I will ask the Holy Lord for orders. The soldiers under my command have been repaired for more than half a month, so why not take this opportunity to go straight to Bianzhou! If we wait for Zhu Youzhen to welcome the Jin army into the Central Plains, there will be a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and ours, which may be quite troublesome."
"Liu Duhu's words are wrong... If the Jin army really goes south, Zhu Youzhen will be the first to panic. Now that the Liang army has lost all its elite troops, if the Jin army goes south at this time, Bianzhou will be in danger. Li Ke It is not a good idea to use it, and you will definitely not attack our army first in the name of abandoning the banner of the Tang Dynasty, instead of attacking the Liang Kingdom that is already on the board."
Hearing Feng Daodian's words, everyone chuckled. Li Jing only spoke out at this time.
"However, it is expected that the Jin army will not go south in the near future, and Liu Duhu's words are also appropriate... The army has been preparing at Hulao Pass for many days, and it is time to regain the great Central Plains. I am also worried that Zhu Youzhen is not smart. Then let the Jin army in."
When Liu Zhijun heard Li Jing speak, he looked a little excited. He immediately clasped his fists and sat back.
There is no general who does not like fighting.
Li Jing knew this truth, but it was not something he could talk about casually. Issues such as how to deploy the army and how many routes to march in should be made by the Ministry of War before the war could actually begin.
At least this month, Liu Zhijun can only train the newly recruited people.
Then, the monarchs and ministers in the palace talked about other court matters, which had not been resolved during the court meeting, and then they were brought to the small room to discuss again.
To be honest, Li Jing has left these matters to Feng Dao and others as much as possible, but there are still many political matters that require his personal approval.
When the new emperor was first established, Li Jing was troubled by countless court affairs day and night.
Fortunately, Li Jing himself was more concerned about these issues that made the new dynasty run. Coupled with the fact that his warrior body did not feel tired at all, he could fully bear it.
After this, everyone saw that the matter was almost settled, and they all nodded happily.
The monarch and his ministers are harmonious and truly harmonious.
What's more, they are the ministers of the resurgence of the Tang Dynasty, and their names will be left in the history books in the future. Who doesn't want to do a better job, at least a hundred years later, let future generations add two more things.
Li Jing, on the other hand, didn't think so much. After seeing that the matter was settled, he looked at the Minister of Rites, who should have been the easiest to deal with, but now seemed extremely busy due to the world situation.
"Fan Aiqing, have you made arrangements for the ceremony of establishing the queen?"
In fact, what the Minister of Rites has been busy with recently is the ceremony of establishing the queen.
The main thing is that the emperor pays special attention to this matter and specifically emphasizes the need to add a few points to the already grand ceremony.
In fact, upon hearing Li Jing's question, several important ministers also looked at the Minister of Rites.
There is no small matter in the Tian family, let alone the extremely important matter of establishing a queen.
In addition, the emperor is turning the new year this year, but he is only twenty-one, but he has no heirs... How can it not make people worry?
It is also for this reason that many ministers in the court who are waiting for their daughters are thinking of stuffing their beloved daughters into the palace.
But before that, she had to wait for the emperor to establish the queen.
The Minister of Rites named Fan did not dare to delay at all, and immediately stood up and bowed down.
"Your Majesty, all the preparations used for the grand ceremony have been prepared. Some of them are complete and are waiting for His Majesty's approval."
Li Jing smiled faintly, first asked the Minister of Rites to stand up, and then chatted with several important ministers for a while before leaving the hall.
He himself, accompanied by several eunuchs, went to the harem.
But outside the palace wall of the harem, these eunuchs stopped, and only Li Jing entered.
All the maids in the palace have been replaced by women from Huanyinfang, almost all of whom are stunningly beautiful. Li Jing had previously discussed asking the empress to send these women out in batches so that they could get married and have children.
But what surprised Li Jing was that these women in Huanyinfang were all lonely since childhood. If Huanyinfang had not taken them in, they would have died long ago.
Now, Huanyinfang, or the Empress and Li Jing, are their natal family.
This huge palace is also where their natal family is.
