Chapter 110 Negotiation on the way back to Beijing

/

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Haochen made a simple handover on Henan Road, because Li Jiancheng did not send the new Henan Road Strategic Envoy, the marching chief officer and the censor, Li Haochen could only appease the governors of various prefectures and guards, and then rushed to Chang'an with Fang Xuanling, Zhang Han, Qin Qiong, Xue Rengui, Lu Pinting, Li Juaner, and his team rushed to Chang'an. This New Year, Li Haochen and others were destined to spend the journey. But there was no way, after all, the emperor's destiny could not be done.

After departure, Li Haochen did not ride a carriage with his wife Lu Pinting, nor did he ride a horse, but rode a carriage with Fang Xuanling. He wanted to discuss with Fang Xuanling the next changes in the situation in the court and the response strategies.

On the way forward, Li Haochen asked Fang Xuanling, "Mr. Fang, what do you think of Your Majesty summoning me to Beijing this time?"

Li Haochen knew that in some major events, sometimes Fang Xuanling's views were clearer than himself, so he didn't have any obscureness, so he asked Fang Xuanling his views directly.

Fang Xuanling knew that Li Haochen was trusting him, but Fang Xuanling did not express his opinion directly, but asked Li Haochen, "What do you think?"

Li Haochen laughed and said, "Okay, Fang Xuanling, I asked you, but you asked me, "Do you want to take the exam sincerely?" After making a harmless joke with Fang Xuanling, Li Haochen said directly, "Mr. Fang, to be honest, I didn't understand the key, but I always feel that the things in it are full of weirdness. After all, there are not many capable ministers and generals in the court, and there are not many. Your Majesty can ask for advice, but he went thousands of miles to recall me. Isn't this going to be far away?"

After hearing Li Haochen's words, Fang Xuanling nodded with a smile and said, "General, you can feel that things are strange. It means that you have discovered some troops, but you just don't think about it like bad things." Fang Xuanling paused, then looked directly at Li Haochen for a while. Seeing that there was no unhappy expression on Li Haochen's face, he continued, "Xuanling sees that Your Majesty urgently recalls the general this time, which has a different meaning. After all, the general is His Majesty's simple rule, but since ancient times, there has been a principle of accompanying the king as if he is a tiger. As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all kindness, this is the emperor's mind. The general just doesn't want to think about this aspect!"

Li Haochen carefully savored what Fang Xuanling said, then showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked with some uncertainty, "Mr. Fang means that Your Majesty is not worried that I will be in Henan Road again, so he found an excuse to transfer me back to Beijing?"

Fang Xuanling nodded indecently and said, "Yes, but my subordinates don't think it's all. There should be other reasons. I wonder if the general is willing to listen?" Fang Xuanling kept it in a silence.

Li Haochen laughed and scolded, "Mr. Fang, if I don't want to listen to you, how could I ride in a carriage with you? Don't keep it a secret, come to the truth, I'm willing to hear it!"

Fang Xuanling showed a mysterious smile on his face and said, "If the subordinates' calculations are good, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will summon the general back to the capital. First, the general holds military and political power and cannot wait for a long time. Moreover, the general has gained reputation in Henan Province for more than half a year, and the people all praised the general's goodness. This is a taboo of the emperor. Second, I'm afraid that the Turks did have abnormal movements. After all, the intelligence bureau that can be influenced by the Lord may not have the intelligence to be faster and more accurate as the scouts stationed in the Turks all year round. Third, I'm afraid there are many different opinions in the court, and Your Majesty wants to be soft-hearted, and it is probably difficult to make a decision for a while, so he remembered the general."

Li Haochen nodded and said, "Mr.'s analysis is very reasonable. I wonder if sir, do you have any suggestions for this marquis after I return to Beijing this time?"

Fang Xuanling smiled but said nothing. Li Haochen didn't know where Fang Xuanling was selling, so he asked again. Fang Xuanling said, "The general has a choice in his mind, why do you still have to ask his subordinates?"

Li Haochen showed a meaningful look and looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Mr. I said that this marquis has made his own decision. Why didn't I know that this marquis himself has made a decision? Besides, if you ask something but don't answer, you are not a good aide!"

Li Haochen thought that he had to hit Fang Xuanling properly. Fang Xuanling was good at everything, but he still had a bit of a sour style of Confucianism. This was not a good thing, so he hit Fang Xuanling with words.

Fang Xuanling was a very smart person. He could understand Li Haochen's simple words, so he quickly claimed to Li Haochen and explained, "Don't blame him, General, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that his subordinates said it, I'm afraid the general will not accept it!" Seeing that Fang Xuanling still did not express his opinion, Li Haochen's eyes were slightly angry, and he wanted to scold Fang Xuanling again, but before he could speak, Fang Xuanling continued, "The advice given to the general is that no matter whether the Turkic invasion southward, the general must be out of the matter. If Your Majesty asks the general for advice, the general can answer Your Majesty in an ambiguous manner, so that the general can be outside the storm and wait and see how it changes before he can rest assured."

Li Haochen carefully pondered Fang Xuanling's words, then frowned slightly, "Sir, good intentions, I know, but a real man is born in the world, and he should do something and not do anything. If foreign enemies really invade our country, how can I ignore the safety of the country because of his own safety?" Li Haochen paused and continued to say to Fang Xuanling, "I have a saying to share with you, I hope to encourage you with you!"

After Li Haochen finished speaking, Fang Xuanling kept silent for a long time, and then murmured, ",!..."

After a while, Fang Xuanling returned to normal, and then clasped his fists at Li Haochen and said, "The general's heart can be bright and clear to the sun and the moon! Xuanling's faint light is hard to compete with the general for the glory. The general's mind is Xuanling admired! Xuanling is willing to advance and retreat with the general in this life, and will remain unswerving in this life!"

When Li Haochen saw the words he plagiarized, Fang Xuanling was so excited that he couldn't help but smile. Although it was plagiarized, it was what he thought and wished in his life.

Li Haochen bowed to Fang Xuanling and said, "It is my blessing that I can get help from Mr. I will probably have a bloody storm when I go to Chang'an this time. After returning to Beijing, I will rely on Mr. I hope that Mr. Don't worry about hard work at that time!"

Fang Xuanling quickly bowed again and said, "General, but he has his own orders. I dare not act as a death sentence. General, please give me instructions. I will never complain!"
