After sitting down, the eunuch brought tea. Zhang Yongde took a sip from the cup and said, "When Lin Zhihe met me, he recommended Mr. Lu, but I didn't take it to heart at that time because Lin Zhihe had not made much achievements in Jiangnan. " "The younger generations cannot agree with the Taiwei's assessment, because the latent achievements of penetrating into the enemy's heart cannot be measured by the standards of military merit on the battlefield. Uncle Lin's achievements in Jiangnan contributed to the internal strife in Tang Dynasty and intensified the internal struggle of Tang Dynasty. The national power and military strength have been drastically weakened, and that kind of achievement is not inferior to the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops," Lu Qiping retorted. Zhang Yongde frowned slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, but it's just an exaggeration." "I don't think it's an exaggeration. I have an example from Hexi that can explain it. Sir, are you willing to listen to it?" Lu Qiping said peacefully. "You said it." Zhang Yongde said calmly. "After the younger generation advanced into Ganzhou, Hexi, they stopped advancing. Because there were still hundreds of thousands of Xia troops in Guazhou, Suzhou and Shazhou, the younger generation did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but used a thousand soldiers to infiltrate the Xia army. Lurking, the descendants waited patiently for more than ten days, and the hundreds of thousands of Xia troops collapsed from within, allowing the descendants to obtain hundreds of thousands of Xia troops to surrender. In the same way, the Zhou Dynasty was able to easily cross the river and enter the south of the Yangtze River. The reason was that the Tang Dynasty was internally occupied. Various conflicts disintegrated and centrifuged, and the occurrence of conflicts in the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from the years of achievements of the latent ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were just latent achievements, an invisible battle of wits, and could not be recognized by the soldiers in bloody battles, just like the ancient Lian Po, who could not I understand and recognize Lin Xiangru¡¯s achievements,¡± Lu Qiping explained. Zhang Yongde frowned in silence. After a while, he said: "Your method of dismantling hundreds of thousands of enemy troops is indeed very clever. It can be called a military miracle." "The younger generation does not think it is a miracle, but an inevitable thing. The younger generation is in the west. It has been spread since the beginning that it is the reincarnation of the Buddha's light, so the people of Hexi are psychologically afraid of the younger generations. In the same way, the lurking ministers of the Great Zhou have been spreading in the south of the Yangtze that the power of the Great Zhou is unmatched, making the people of the Tang Dynasty extremely afraid of war. When the younger generation was in Jiangnan, they also felt that the military power of the Zhou Dynasty was unmatched," Lu Qifu said. Zhang Yongde raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qi, and said calmly: "You said that you once thought that the military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unmatched, but now you think that the military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very weak?" Lu Qi shook his head and said: "The military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed very strong, but compared with the younger generations, Compared with the Xinghua Army that joined the army, it can only be said that they are evenly matched, but the strongest military force of the Tang State is actually the 80,000 Wuchang Army once commanded by Lord Lin Renzhao. The weakest of the Tang State is the Beijing Army, and the strongest of the Zhou State should be "Forbidden Army." Zhang Yongde frowned and said: "Lin Renzhao, that is indeed a tiger general." "Master Lin Renzhao's military management should be no less than that of Master Zhao Kuangyin. He is just too foolish and loyal, and he repeatedly touches the enemy and is unwilling to protect himself wisely." Qi said sadly. Zhang Yongde was silent, raised his cup and took a sip of tea, looked at the tea bowl for a while, and then said calmly: "Master Lu has occupied Hexi autonomy, which seems to be very ambitious." "The younger generation has Hexi autonomy, mainly so that Hexi can truly belong to it. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, 90% of the population in Hexi today are of the Fan tribe. If the Fan tribe is to be brought under control, the most effective way is to control the Fan tribe with Fan tribes, and to respect the Fan tribe's beliefs and customs to bring them back, followed by Qingming governance. "If the imperial envoys take over Hexi, the people of Hexi will not be able to surrender. If the imperial officials go, they will only implement the imperial government's political methods, which will result in the rebellion of the Hexi Fan tribe." Lu Qiping explained. "So, you don't want to occupy Hexi Autonomy for a long time. Once the Fan tribe returns to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be handed over to the imperial court to take over." Zhang Yongde said calmly. "It can also be said that His Majesty asked me if I wanted to imitate Zhang Yichao. The younger generation replied that if the Great Zhou Dynasty remains peaceful, the younger generation will be Zhang Yichao. The reason is that the younger generation does not want to be the second in Anlu Mountain." Lu Seven answered bluntly. Zhang Yongde frowned and remained silent after hearing this. Lu Tianfeng's bold treason gave him an indescribable complex feeling. Back then, he would never have dared to say such words, but he understood that Lu Tianfeng dared to say such treason. First, it has an independent Hexi army that is completely uninfluenced by the Zhou court. Second, Zhou seems to be peaceful internally, but in fact it is in crisis. Third, Hexi is a land, and there is a step to laissez-faire for the Zhou court. , can be regarded as similar to the Fuzhou Zhe family, so Lu Tianfeng is bold and outspoken. There was silence in Nuanning Pavilion for a while, as if he was lost in conversation. After a long time, Zhao Pucai coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Master Lu may not know yet, but Captain Zhang was ordered by the imperial court, and now he is guarding all the people in front of the palace. " Lu Qi looked at Zhang Yongde in surprise after hearing this. Emperor Zhou actually asked Zhang Yongde to return to Kaifeng Mansion and become the supreme commander of the Forbidden Army again. He had heard that Emperor Zhou wanted to use Han Tong. "It turns out that when your Majesty Taiwei has taken up his post, you have to check in front of the palace. I would like to congratulate you." Lu Qi bowed to greet him. "I have to look after myself in front of the palace. It is your majesty's trust. I should do my best." Zhang ??De responded calmly. "Master Lu must be surprised." Zhao Pu said with a smile. Lu Qi nodded and said: "It's very unexpected. I originally thought that His Majesty would use Master Han Tong." Zhao Pu was startled and said, "How could Master Lu think so?" "Oh, I was on the street a few days ago and saw When some generals passed by, they casually asked the attendants around them. The attendants said that it was Lord Han Tong, and that the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion was built under the supervision of Lord Han Tong. He also told many stories about Lord Han Tong. I heard Later, I felt that Lord Han Tong came to Kaifeng Mansion because His Majesty wanted to reuse him," Lu Qi replied. Zhao Pu nodded, and Lu Qi smiled again: "Master Zhao, don't think too much. I haven't come to see Your Majesty for a while, so I just said something casually." Zhao Pu smiled and said, "I didn't think too much. Mr. Han is now an infantry soldier. The Commander-in-Chief of the Division has indeed been reused by His Majesty." Lu Qiqing nodded, took a sip of tea from his bowl, and then chatted with Zhao Pu and Zhang Yongde about the past military affairs of the Zhou Kingdom. , the three of them were obviously casual. Zhang Yongde's attitude towards Lu Qi was no longer condescending as at the beginning. Although Lu Tianfeng was young, strength was the basis for deciding who would compete. About half an hour later, a eunuch suddenly conveyed an oral instruction to the Queen Mother, asking Lu Qi to come in to see her. Lu Qi got up and left. As soon as Lu Qi left, Zhao Pu looked at Zhang Yongde and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, what you are saying is too arrogant." "Arrogance has the advantage of being arrogant. Compared with deep hypocrisy, it can make people feel trustworthy. We all know it. He is a rebellious minister, so he is not as frank as Ni, and is just plotting," Zhang Yongde said calmly. Zhao Pu was startled and said: "The prince said this, but he is looking down upon him." "Facts speak louder than words. He has invaded Hebei Court, so he cannot be underestimated." Zhang Yongde said in a self-deprecating tone. ***** It was the third time for Lu Qi to enter Ciming Palace, but this time he was surprised. There were several times more women in the palace than last time. He seemed to have crashed into the daughter's kingdom. . The Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty was sitting in the middle, and there were more than a dozen women in colorful dresses sitting in rows on the left and right sides. The ones closest to the Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty were the Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty and the noble concubines. This scene seemed very solemn. After Lu Qi glanced at her, he walked into the hall with a respectful lowered eyebrow, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng, wishes you happiness and well-being, and congratulates the Queen Mother for your longevity." "Get up." The Queen Mother said gently. Lu Qi thanked him and got up and stood respectfully. The Queen Mother said gently: "Lu Tianfeng, last time I promised you Xianghe. I didn't expect the emperor to say recently that Yuwei and you have become close friends. Would you like to have a good relationship with Yuwei?" ?" Lu Qi immediately knelt down again and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am willing to form a good relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Yuwei. It is my honor and a great honor for the Lu family to be able to marry the two princesses. " There was silence inside, and all the women and eunuchs did not dare to express their anger. A pair of eyes looked at Lu Tianfeng in surprise. Everyone understood clearly that the Queen Mother meant to marry Lu Tianfeng instead of Princess Yuwei, but Lu Tianfeng directly said that she wanted to marry Lu Tianfeng. Two princesses, royal princesses have a distinguished status. There are two princesses who marry the same husband. There is also precedent for princesses to marry the same husband. Almost all of them are continued marriages. Lu Tianfeng¡¯s boldness and boldness can be said to be a serious crime of contempt for the royal family. This involves the face of the Zhou royal family and the clan¡¯s rules. Normally, the Queen Mother should refute Lu Tianfeng¡¯s arrogance and safeguard the dignity of the royal family. After a long time, the Queen Mother said gently: "Since you don't want to break off your marriage to Xianghe, you must treat their sisters kindly in the future." "I thank the Queen Mother for the accomplishment. I swear that I will treat the two princesses with respect and respect as guests throughout my life and never leave. Never give up." Lu Qi responded respectfully and made a promise. "Yuwei, Xianghe, you kneel to Lu Tianfeng's side." The Queen Mother ordered. Two princesses walked out from behind Yanxing's chair. They knelt down side by side with Lu Tianfeng in the middle of the hall. The Queen Mother said gently: "I will make the decision for you today. Yuwei will be named the Princess of Guo Kingdom, and Xianghe will be named Princess of Shi Kingdom. Together with Lu Tianfeng has become a good match, you all kowtow." An old eunuch came over and taught Lu Tianfeng and the two princesses to kowtow to the queen mother, the empress, and the biological mothers of the two princesses.
