Chapter 522 Resignation
“But you have already got a lot of things.”
In the elegant hall, a gorgeous landscape screen stood quietly among the deep dark brown decoration. The moonlight reflected on Xu Yuan's face with the elegant and dim gold lamp. After pondering for a moment, he spoke out slowly. He said this sentence:
“Even more than you deserve.”
The look in Li Yunqing's eyes changed slightly.
A little surprised, but more of an uneasy feeling.
He suddenly realized the purpose of the silence of Prime Minister Xu and even the prime ministers in the court these days.
They have reaped many, many benefits from this feast of partition.
Through the fault of the Prime Minister, many important positions in the court were regained control by the royal family.
Breaking the rules and paying the price is the logic of the operation of power.
Li Yunqing's voice was quite resentful. Looking at the idle expression of the boy opposite, he felt envious in his heart.
Countless lessons learned from experience in history tell the world that coups often occur in dynasty capitals.
It is too much for the Prime Minister's Mansion to provoke Saint Lai Xi'en and put the capital of Emperor Yan in danger.
Everything should end here and must end here.
Xu Yuan shook his head and said softly:
But the father seemed to want more, and wanted to play rogue against the Prime Minister's Mansion. This was just based on strength, and the royal family did not have the qualifications to play rogue against the Prime Minister's Mansion.
“If I had a choice, I would say I'm not prepared, but I don't have a choice.”
Once the royal family wants to take action without warning, the absence of anyone in the city defense system means that the Prime Minister's Office cannot respond immediately, let alone use people within the city defense system to take countermeasures.
“It's really a good idea to call Xu Xiang.”
It is punishment to have high-ranking officials of the Prime Minister's Party imprisoned and removed from office.
“Being willing to pay such a high price can only mean that you get more.”
"This is just a simple information gap, and hasn't my prime minister's office already paid such a heavy price?"
Li Yunqing shook his head gently:
In response to Li Yunqing's probing words, Xu Yuan smiled noncommittally and asked:
“So, you are still going to come and ask for help?”
Di'an is the center of Dayan and the center of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Di'an City, and Xu Yinhe lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan glanced at the dark sky outside the window:
“Using stillness as movement and teasing the world with applause, by the time the world discovers his purpose, it is already too late.”
This is actually a rather dangerous signal.
The penalty has been offset, and now we want more, and those who break the rules have become the Tian family with the surname Li.
With a long breath, Li Yunqing lowered his eyes and looked at the wine in the bronze vessel:
“You have completely eliminated the hands of my Prime Minister from Di'an's city defense.”
Also the second generation of the top officials in the dynasty, this boy was not only able to participate in the highest decision-making without any scruples, but also commanded a large private army, while he could only be a cannon fodder and lead the charge.
Xu Yuan was not surprised and said with a chuckle:
“Who told you not to fight or rob?”
Li Yunqing snorted softly:
“Of course your back hurts when you stand talking.”
Xu Yuan grinned and whispered:
"Li Zhaoyuan's current situation is much worse than yours, but what about now? With your ability, you should not be worse than him, but it's a pity that you don't want to take risks."
Li Yunqing rolled his eyes and wanted to retaliate, but found himself speechless.
Because what this guy said is true.
After a moment of pause, Li Yunqing shook his head helplessly:
“Character is something you are born with, there is nothing you can do about it.”
Xu Yuan took a sip of the spirit wine in the glass, and then smacked his lips.
His physique can no longer absorb the energy in the wine, so he can only satisfy his appetite.
At this time, Li Yunqing directly changed the topic and said:
“By the way, does our previous cooperation still count?”
“Japanese Island?”
Xu Yuan put down his wine glass, with a hint of hope on his face: "Of course it counts, but after what happened that night, you don't need my support anymore, right?"
Li Yunqing raised his eyes, glanced at Xu Yuan, and hummed softly:
“You're asking questions knowingly, right? Theoretically, this is indeed the case. After all, the imperial capital was almost destroyed. Even if it was just a face-saving project, the imperial court would pay enough attention to Dongying Island, but the problem is now.”
“Get to the point, don't ramble on about such nonsense.” .” Li Yunqing.
“My brother and my father discussed this matter privately. My father promised to increase the number of troops, but the person in charge will be a commander of the imperial army, and I will become the supervisor of the army.”
After saying that, Li Yunqing looked longingly at his beloved relative and friend opposite.
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not speak immediately.
This change made him somewhat unexpected.
It was natural for the emperor to arrange for a general to accompany him. After all, Li Yunqing did not understand military affairs, and the army was large. Just the food, drink, housing and transportation of the soldiers were enough to make a layman's scalp numb, let alone marching and fighting, but General Li Yun Qing was promoted from the original position of commander to oversee the army, but it was somewhat unjustifiable.
In terms of love and law, this expeditionary force should be commanded by the prince Li Yunqing.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan suddenly looked at Li Yunqing, smiled, and whispered:
"Your father really sees through your character."
There is no other reason. The sky is high in Japan and the emperor is far away. Once he gets a firm foothold in Japan, there is a high probability that Li Junqing will play the game and do whatever he wants.
This is something Li Yaoxuan cannot tolerate.
In the past, symbolic investment could be regarded as a gift from father to son, but now that the scale is large, investment naturally has to be rewarded accordingly.
Li Yaoxuan not only wanted to use Li Yunqing's ability to stabilize the situation in Japan, but also wanted to keep the actual control of Japan Island in his own hands.
Li Yunqing gave a light "tsk":
“Can you please stop making sarcastic remarks here? If you don't raise your bet, I will most likely not be able to fulfill your request.”
Xu Yuan was silent for a while and asked softly:
“Approximately how many additional people will your royal family send?”
“My imperial brother said that there will be at least two battalions of imperial troops.”
Two battalions, with a strength of 10,000 people, and the elite level of the Forbidden Army was a strong force that could be ranked among the Great Yan Dynasty.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan nodded:
“I know about this.”
Li Yunqing immediately asked tentatively:
“Approximately how many people can you raise for me?”
Xu Yuan did not answer directly, but asked with a smile:
“Li Zhaoyuan was able to defeat 100,000 sect alliance troops with nothing. As a prince, you have natural legitimacy for the Forbidden Army. You cannot defeat 10,000 people?”
"no the same."
Li Yunqing's face froze and he spoke slightly faster: "The alliance of clans is made up of various clan alliances, and there are too many differentiation methods that can be used, but the imperial imperial army is monolithic, and there is no comparison between the two. ”
“If Li Zhaoyuan were to sit in your position, do you think he wouldn't be able to eat it?”
“You can choose easy difficulty, why are you willing to go to hell?”
The big eyes stared at the small ones for a moment.
Xu Yuan shook his head gently.
He probably understood what Li Yunqing meant when he said this to him.
Although it looks like a joke on the surface, Li Yunqing is actually reminding him that the situation is changing rapidly, and now the status of the two people's cooperation has become almost equal.
If I don't raise the stakes, I now have other options. I can choose the same path as Li Zhaoyuan. By then, you will have no chance to intervene in Japan in an honest way.
"I have sent people to count the specific number of people. The army needs to pass through the northern border to go south. It is still in chaos there and there may be some chaos, but I should be able to give you a definite answer after the New Year."
Li Yunqing chuckled and slowly stood up from the futon:
“Then we will discuss the details in detail then?”
Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this:
“Do you have anything else to do tonight?”
Li Yunqing shrugged helplessly:
“If I didn't have a legitimate reason, I wouldn't dare to ask a “dead man” like you out on this cusp of the storm.”
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and whispered:
“It seems that your father wants you to come to my prime minister's house tonight to ask for someone?”
Li Yunqing straightened the wrinkles on his robe and walked slowly to the window lattice. The cold wind blew in his hair and he whispered softly:
“Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It seems that this new year will not be successful, haha.”
Forty-sixth year of Jiajing period,
On the night of the 29th year of the year, King Qing went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to challenge Princess Xi'en, but the prince stopped him.
Last night, New Year's Eve, the prime minister submitted his official resignation to the imperial court.
