The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 3: I know it’s an old friend coming

In the fourth year of Longsheng, the princess was relieved of her filial piety, and the prince went to the palace of Yongding County to pay a courtesy and propose marriage.

At that time, the emperor still called Kangjian. Since the widowhood of the Qi king, he has always worried, heard about the marriage, and married him as the master. He held the arm of the king at the table and said that the two generations were related by marriage, and the princess Xu Yongding of Duanyi County Wang Shizi.

Princess Duanyi, fourteenth daughter of the great ancestor, from the Duan clan of Zhaoyi, virtuous Shen Ning, Meiziyi, 15 years old, the prince of Yongding County Liu He, pure nature, indifferent and knowledgeable, 19 years old. After the Qin and Jin dynasties, the Liu clan was safe.

——"The Biography of Yong Shi Jiaping Princess"

Walking into the Palace of Qi from the side door, Li Lin handed the mount to the guards, and was about to go back to his residence to take a bath and change clothes, but the guards called them to stay and said: "His Royal Highness Lin, the prince told you to see him as soon as you come back?"

Li Lin hesitated. He always had mixed feelings of admiration and fear for his father. Now Li Xian is either busy with politics or surrounded by his twin brothers and sisters, and has no time to care about himself. , Now calling myself, could it be that I made some mistakes? At the moment he didn't dare to hesitate and walked hurriedly to the flower hall of the inner house. Before approaching the door, he heard a hearty laughter from the hall, which was his father's voice. Li Lin quietly walked to the side of the flower hall and looked inward through the half-open and half-closed window. At a glance, Li Lin's body suddenly froze. How could it be like this? Sitting opposite his father, with a leisurely look and starring face, isn't it just his uncle Jiang Zhe? The two are playing against each other. I saw his father so happy, probably Kill the uncle on the chessboard again. When did this Chu Junhou, who didn't even want the Shang Dynasty, rushed to his house and slammed the door, he didn't know that he was crying Roulan? While thinking wildly, Li Lin hesitated whether to sneak away, only when he did not come back. At this moment, the evil shadow inseparable from his uncle smiled at the window lattice intentionally or unintentionally. Li Lin downturned and realized that he could not sneak away, and could only slow down. Walk slowly to the door of the flower hall.

With a slight smile, I pretended not to know that Li Lin was digging my head out of the window, and I was ashamed to say that, my own children are very smart and know how to avoid my bullying. Roulan relied on the Queen Empress and His Royal Highness to support her. Not to mention that the Queen Mother raised Roulan with her own hands when she grew up. She regarded her as her own daughter, and she was her Royal Highness, so why not treat her as her own sister, His Royal Highness Forget it, although he is the prince, but after all, I am his uncle, and he dare not be rude to me, but the empress is something I can provoke, if not the emperor has collapsed, I am afraid I will not even dare to teach Roulan . As for Jiang Shen, it doesn’t matter if this tired boy doesn’t mention it, but ten months in a year dominate the monk’s temple. To avoid me, he went to his future father-in-law’s house to cheat and drink, especially After the birth of his little fiancee Li Ning, this kid basically can't see anyone except for the New Year. Since King Qi abducted my son, naturally I wanted to retaliate back. Li Lin, a kid who was rather unlucky, became my pistachio. As for Li Zhuo, Li Ning's twin brother, the current Prince Qi, I dare not bully, I know how powerful Princess Qi and Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping are. When King Qi went to the Yongding County Prince’s Mansion to propose to him, I spurned him. When Lin Bi broke into the Qi Prince’s Mansion with a sword, I was there. If I hadn’t given Li Xian an idea to kneel down and plead for sin, I’m afraid Lin Bi He had already killed Li Xian with a single sword, and then he apologized. If this is the case, I'm afraid that the Northern Han Dynasty, who had finally made a forced landing, would raise the flag of rebellion again. It would be foolish to digest the land and people of the Northern Han Dynasty within a few years. Fortunately, I was prepared. I took this opportunity to express Long Tingfei's last wish, finally let Lin Bi calm down his anger, and gave King Qi an excuse and opportunity to pursue a beautiful woman. After three years of painstaking efforts, Qi Wang finally got his wish.

Actually, it’s not that I want to take risks. This is also a helpless move. After the return of the Northern Han Dynasty, there was no voice in Dayong, but it was rejected by Li Zhi. Li Zhi is really wise and generous. Although please surrender the country, the influence of the Liu family in the Northern Han Dynasty is already deeply ingrained. If the Liu family is uneasy, the Northern Han Dynasty is uneasy. Although it is relatively easy to cut the weeds and roots, the consequences are endless. Not to mention that the Lin family will be dissatisfied and rebellious. Those generals of the Northern Han Dynasty who were disarmed and returned to their fields after the Northern Han Dynasty requested surrender, as well as the demon sects who have retired. Will not give up resistance because of the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, but will make them indomitable and embarrassed with Da Yong. But if Liu's influence is allowed to continue, it will also be a hidden danger to Dayong's imperial power.

In the end, I took a different approach and proposed a strategy to integrate the Northern Han Dynasty royal family. Since the Northern Han Dynasty royal family is so prestigious and popular, I will integrate them into the Dayong royal family. Any daughter of the Liu family will marry the royal family and become the imperial concubine or princess. , All the descendants of the Liu family, let them marry the royal ancestors. If this continues, at most three generations, the Liu family will become inseparable blood relatives with the royal family. When the time comes, they will be both prosperous and ruined. What are they going to do? Will the arrogant and powerful generals still be embarrassed with his old master. Even though the military and civilian hatred of the two countries continues, as long as they are encouraged to marry, let their blood merge together, and the deep hatred will disappear after the blood is connected.

To realize this strategy, the most important thing is the marriage of King Qi and Princess Jiaping. King Qi led his troops to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. Although it was His Majesty who regained the net in the end, Li Xian was the culprit. Princess Jiaping, who is also the spiritual leader of the Lin family of Daizhou and the pillar of the Northern Han Dynasty, is the wife of Long Tingfei. She can be said to be the only leader recognized by the Northern Han military. The royal family can completely reassure Dayong's royal family, let Liu's peace of mind, and be able to win over Lin's. But if you want to achieve this goal, you can't let Lin Bi have a little reluctance. Being forced to marry and being happy is two effects. For this purpose, I made suggestions behind the king of Qi, and finally let Lin Bi nod and marry him. This was even more difficult than when I designed to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. Li Xian was called romantic in vain. When pursuing Lin Bi, everything was awkward. I saw it. Fortunately, I got my wish in the end. On the wedding of Li Xian and Lin Bi, the Supreme Emperor made the final blow and betrothed the princess Duanyi, who had just arrived, to the first son of Yongding County, the original Prince Liu He of the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu He has a pure temperament and has no interest in power. If the Northern Han Dynasty were still alive, he would be somewhat incompetent as the crown prince, but as the prince of Yongding County, he was most in line with the wishes of the Da Yong royal family. Once these two marriages were successful, the effect was immediately revealed. Many generals and officials who were originally unwilling to serve for Da Yong also went on to serve or joined the army. With the participation of the warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty, Yong who was hit hard during the conquest of the Northern Han Dynasty The strength of the army gradually recovered.

Of course, Li Zhi and I also counted Qi Wang Li Xian. In order to pursue Lin Bi, Li Xian gave up the military power quite knowledgeably. No one can let such a couple hold the military power. Especially after Li Xian's wedding, he almost stopped getting involved in the military, which gave the emperor the opportunity to take back all his general power when he reorganized the army. There was no force in Dayong that could oppose the imperial power. Although a little too much towards Li Xian, he is not the only one who is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, and to give up the power of the country for the beauty. Besides, although I designed to seize his military power, his influence in the army is still there, and the marriage with Lin Bi also gave him the most practical protection. Unless it is to subvert the society, no matter who is sitting in the Da Yong In his throne, he would not be easily shot at him. Besides, when it comes to conquering Nanchu, he is indispensable, and he can destroy the Northern Han and Nanchu one after another. No matter who is this kind of combat exploits, everyone should be satisfied.

Such a balanced situation has been brought about by my hard work. It is a high level of hard work, but Li Xian is too unreasonable. Lin Bi has not yet roared in the east. Prince Qi, who is under one person and over ten thousand in the current dynasty, just wants to please him. Beauty, betray me completely, making me feel guilty when I see Lin Bi now. The only good thing is that everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty did not count the deaths of Long Tingfei and others on my head. After all, for them, it is always a shame to lose face by a weak scholar, so this scapegoat is naturally made by Li Zhi and Li Xian. Carry it for me, anyway, it was not me who made the shot last.

However, while feeling a bit at a loss, I also found a way to vent my anger, which is to bully Li Lin, but to be honest, if I hadn’t loved this kid, I wouldn’t have teased him. For this reason, he lost his mother and grew up in the army since he was a child. With the birth of Li Ning and Li Zhuo, the status of Prince Qi’s son was completely unfavorable from him. He was different from his brothers who were not taken seriously. Li Lin's prostitute is even more miserable. In order to make up for this child, I proposed to the emperor to make him a county king. Moreover, he is now accompanied by Prince Li Jun. If there is no accident, he will be Li Jun's right-hand man in the future. This should be enough to compensate for his loss.

While I was sipping tea and thinking about it, Li Lin had already walked in. For so long, even the tortoise had crawled there. After he walked in with his head down to give Li Xian a gift, he wanted to hide in the corner of the house. I smiled and said, "Lin'er, what are you hiding, won't you come over to show me this uncle?"

Li Xian frowned upon hearing this: "Lin'er, what are you doing? I don't know anything about etiquette."

I shook the folding fan lightly to stop Li Xian's words, and said, "Lin'er, didn't you make any mistakes, did you dare to see me?"

Li Lin hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't cry Soft Blue." He almost bit his tongue when he said, and somehow, when he saw Jiang Zhe's smile, he was flustered. Can not help but peek at the two elders.

Li Xian glared and said: "What, you cried soft blue, what's going on, don't tell me what's going on, then go and think about it behind closed doors, don't eat dinner."

Li Lin grimaced and did not dare to respond, but at this moment I smiled and said, "What is the matter with me, that girl Roulan is spoiled and polite, so she won’t make her more domineering, Brother Six Don’t be like the empress empress. You are afraid of holding this girl in your mouth. Lin'er, tell me what's going on. If this girl is unreasonable, I will punish her."

Li Lin almost did not shed tears. Fortunately, it was not Roulan’s fault. If Jiang Zhe seized the opportunity to punish Roulan, I was afraid that he would be subject to family law afterwards, and she might be reprimanded by the empress. Suddenly, in the end, 80% of the crown prince’s cousin will probably hold himself by his side for ten and a half months. In the palace, there are rules everywhere, not to mention being too bored, I can’t bear it. Seeing Jiang Zhe's staring gaze, Li Lin hurriedly talked about today's matter lightly.

Li Xian frowned. He didn't blame Li Lin for bullying others. Anyway, he knew that Li Lin would not go too far. At best, he would give the Southern Chu boy a little bitterness. He was better than Li Lin when he was young. He is also overbearing and arrogant, he thoughtfully said: "You said that this boy is thirteen or fourteen years old and can use a three-stone strong bow. If it is a bow and arrow, he is the best at riding and shooting Daizhou. This is also one of a thousand. , I don’t know how his archery skills are? No wonder you pay attention, Lin'er, pass the order for me and bring that young man back to me. I want to try his skills."

I couldn’t help but smile when I heard this. There is a father and a son. Although Shen'er is not like me, but Li Lin is very much like King Qi. Seeing Li Lin, I will go down and pass the order. I stopped: "Wait. Wait, for such a trivial matter, your dignified prince’s intervention would be too shocking to the world. Let them take care of the children’s affairs. Lin'er, although you are young, you are already the King of Jiajun, who was entrusted by the court. The matter is left to you, but you are not allowed to squander your life. You can decide how to deal with it."

Li Lin was overjoyed. He still missed the Southern Chu boy in his heart. It was just that Roulan didn't dare to regenerate right and wrong. Now that Jiang Zhe is the master, then he can do whatever he wants and itchy in his heart. The boy captured and returned to the mansion.

Seeing that he was so urgent, Li Xian cursed: "There is no qualitativeness at all, what an urgency, since this man claims to be here to find relatives, will he leave so soon? Besides, he has escaped, as long as a military order is passed down. , Are you still afraid that he will escape back to Nanchu? Your little aunt will come to visit your mother and concubine today. For the family dinner tonight, your mother and concubine said that no one is allowed to be absent."

Li Lin had to obey the orders awe-inspiringly, but he peeked at Jiang Zhe. Now he knows why the uncle is here. The little aunt's Yibin General Wang Ji is the uncle's disciple. If he comes to Chang'an, he must report to the Ministry of War. If you want to visit your uncle first, it must be your stepmother who wants to see her sister and brother-in-law first, so she forces her to wait at her home. I couldn't help but lower my head and laugh. Although my uncle was so majestic, he looked careless even in front of the emperor's uncle. Only in front of Princess Jiaping, he looked trembling and trembling. It was really funny. I really can't figure out what he was like. Played with the kings and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty on the palms.

At this time, I have no mind to understand Li Lin’s small movements, proficient in archery, and I can use three-stone strong bows at a young age, Yunlu, Lu Yun, hum, this kind of trick is to hide from my eyes and ears, but I don’t know what he came to Dayong for, but he certainly didn’t come to see his master. Besides, I heard that Lu Can’s ten-minute love for the eldest son, Lu Yun, must have been the idea of ​​the young man himself. I also heard that Huihuali let him Don't put this young man in prison as a spy. Now that this young man has arrived, I should also do my elders’ responsibilities. Let me teach him a little lesson. Well, let Li Lin and Roulan deal with it. If Huo Cong grasps the overall situation, he should not What's unexpectedly changed.

Thinking of Huo Cong, I couldn’t help showing a satisfied smile. This Huo Cong is my most proud disciple. He will definitely be blue in the future. I am impetuous, and I am not good at learning. Even though I am willing to bear it, I can’t help but show Edge. And my other disciples each have different shortcomings. Lu Can’s disposition is too bright and straightforward, and he will eventually suffer because of this. Jing Chi’s sloppy temperament and sometimes impulsiveness are difficult to control. Although I love him for his unpretentiousness, it is a pity that it is hard to become a famous general, Ba Jun. They have their own strengths, but they are limited to their qualifications and experience. Although they can be on their own, they cannot take the overall picture. As for my sons and daughters, although Roulan is smart and wise, now I deliberately let her not have the opportunity to face the cruel reality. A girl, I don’t want her to be too good, I just want her to spend her life happily, Shen Oh, don’t mention it, my cleverness may have inherited three points, but my tiredness and laziness have inherited ten points. I feel sorry for Master Cizhen. Can such a confused boy be able to act as a protector of the law? But stupid people have stupid blessings, his temperament, perhaps his life will be happy.

I calculated it again. Only Huo Cong is my most proud disciple. He is persevering and broad-minded. He has his own ideas and can make changes. He reads many books but concentrates on history. The most rare thing is that he is willing Plain, good at forbearance. I am just a prisoner imprisoned in wealth and glory. Although the shackles are all the beautiful friendships in the world, I am not free after all. But he is the hermit who can truly hide in the DPRK and the only disciple who can inherit my mantle. So I clearly knew that there was a problem with his identity, but I kept him. First, he was a lover. Second, if such a talent did not stay with him, it would be a little dangerous.

At this moment, Tao Lin, one of the four great guards next to King Qi, hurried over and said: "Report to the prince, Jianghou, the princess and Wang Yibin, the princess would like to please."

Li Xian and I smiled at each other, and walked side by side to the Yin'an Hall of the Royal Palace. Just walking into the main hall, we saw the graceful Princess Jiaping holding Lin Tong's hand and whispering while Chi Ji was standing. Standing solemnly aside, in front of Lin Bi, he was always a little cautious. When he saw me, he hurriedly came over to bow to the salute, and said: "Seeing my husband's face as before, Chi Ji feels safe in his heart. I met Thief Li on the way this time, and he asked me to greet my husband. I originally wanted to meet my husband first. , But when I entered the city, I heard Manager Xiao said that Mr. Qi was here with His Royal Highness."

I can’t help holding my breath for a while~IndoMTL.com~Why this kid doesn’t open the pot and lifts the pot, with a dark smile on the corner of his mouth, I laughed: “It’s nothing, come and play chess with King Qi today, Chi Ji, How is it, I heard that you were injured half a year ago, are you okay now?"

Lin Tong said with anxiety: "Sir, although his arrow wound healed, Ji Lang still feels pain when it is windy and rainy. I want to ask Mr. to take a look for him?"

I smiled and said: "It’s okay, it’s okay. This is because the meridian has been damaged. Let him come to my house. I will give him acupuncture and moxibustion a few times. By the way, I will also teach him this set of acupuncture methods. Chi Ji did a better job, although he later changed his career to become a veterinarian.” In my heart, I thought to myself that my golden needle is unparalleled in the world. There is absolutely no problem in removing the root of Chi Ji, except that the set of golden needles was originally used for execution. , It may hurt. Of course, with my ability, there will be no flaws in my face. Lin Tong nodded happily and thanked me. When I was secretly proud, I saw Lin Bi glance at me with a faint warning in his eyes. I was shocked, and quickly avoided her gaze, secretly, forgive Chiji. Dare to tell them the truth.

At this time, the family banquet was ready, Lin Bi took Lin Tong and walked out, and Li Xian followed out. I saw Chi Ji's expression a bit weird, as if there was a secret to report, I deliberately fell behind. Sure enough, Chi Ji whispered in my ear: "Sir, the thief asked me to inform that General Duan has returned to Zhongtu. According to the previous order of the husband, he has sent General Duan to Nanshan. These days. You should arrive in Chang'an, and there will be more detailed information."

My heart was shocked, Duan Wudi, after the Northern Han Dynasty invited him to surrender, I wanted to call him back, but he had already gone to sea. Since then, there is no trace of him. I don’t expect to finally come back today. For this My guilty adversary, how should I treat him?
