Chapter 448 The Emperor's Mind

This time, Li Zhun was relieved to not have to retreat, at least temporarily.

However, Li Zhun also knew that he couldn't relax for too long!
Because after the yin and yang eighteen needles were learned by the Imperial Medicine, if Zhao Quan's condition could really be improved, then Zhao Quan would definitely ask his teacher to return to court.

Regardless of whether this will affect the situation of the battle, or whether Zhao Quan wants to return to Beijing or not, these are not important!
Because even Li Zhun himself would not dare to keep Zhao Quan in Taiyuan, the front line!

After all... if the battle is lost, peace talks with Liao can be made. If there is no one left, especially Zhao Quan, if something goes wrong with him, not only Li Zhun can't bear the responsibility, even all the soldiers in Taiyuan and before, I can't bear this responsibility!

When leaving the emperor's bedroom, Shi Zhongyuan followed Li Zhun out.

As colleagues, the two are also representatives of the backbone of the current court. Of course, there are some things that should be clearly stated.

After all, Li Zhun used to be the leader of Shi Zhongyuan's group. Although the political opinions of the two parties are now at odds, Li Zhun's popularity is at least hanging in Shi Zhongyuan's heart.

Shi Zhongyuan can't ignore Lee Joon!
So Shi Zhongyuan said to Li Zhun: "My lord, this time... Your lord's consideration is indeed a bit inappropriate!"

It was still very euphemistic, and...as Shi Zhongyuan's current deputy prime minister, he actually kept calling Mr. Li Zhun, which also showed Shi Zhongyuan's respect for Li Zhun.

Li Zhun didn't speak when he heard the words, but stared straight at Shi Zhongyuan for a long, long time.

Shi Zhongyuan knew Li Zhun's temper and character. The old boss in front of him was shrewd, courageous, wise, and resolute!A person with wisdom and perseverance is also a very assertive person, a person who is firm in his own thinking, and will not easily change his thoughts and positions just because of a word from others.

Especially... this person is still in a high position!

So Shi Zhongyuan continued: "The lower official also knows that the Lord has devoted all his efforts to this battle, and he can't let it go, but... is it really good to bet on the emperor's safety?"

Is this really good?

Li Zhun asked himself in his heart.

The answer is obvious, as a subject, it is definitely wrong to bet on the life and safety of one's own king.

I'm afraid Shi Zhongyuan and the others thought this way in their hearts, so they went up to impeach Li Zhun, but in front of Li Zhun, Shi Zhongyuan said it more tactfully.

Li Zhun looked at the underachiever in front of him, the current deputy prime minister, he shook his head, and said to Shi Zhongyuan: "You don't understand, after all you don't understand..."

In a word, Shi Zhongyuan was at a loss!
Don't you understand?

don't understand what?
In front of Li Zhun, Shi Zhongyuan really had no temper at all, so he could only look at him, hoping to hear what Li Zhun said later.

Li Zhun continued: "Can't you see that this time it's not just the old man's insistence, the emperor...has also persisted?"

The emperor is also insisting?

Shi Zhongyuan's body trembled when he heard the words.

Master Li said that the emperor is also insisting, so what is the emperor insisting on?
Looking at the back of Li Zhun leaving leisurely, it seems that his not generous back has carried too much, which has caused him to lose his due stability now, and he seems to be a little eager to leave!

Obviously, Li Zhun's eagerness was due to the battle on the front line.

Thinking of the war, Shi Zhongyuan froze in place!

Could it be that the emperor's insistence is because of this war with the Liao Kingdom?
Could it be that……

The emperor dragged his seriously ill body to the front line of Taiyuan. In fact, it was not because of the general situation, but because of... the emperor's own inner hope?
An emperor, sitting in the world, with power, beauty, money, everything, what hope can he have?
What's more, this time the disease almost killed the emperor!
Obviously, the emperor himself realized that he didn't have much time, so he came to Taiyuan. The disgrace of the Liao Kingdom's New Year's coins has been slapped away!

The emperor is trying to prove that he is not a fatuous and incompetent monarch. He is fighting for his reputation after death. No wonder Mr. Li said he didn't understand!
Now, Shi Zhongyuan finally understands!

It turned out that all of this was not Li Zhun's insistence, and Li Zhun was not the rebellious minister who disregarded the safety of the king for the sake of national justice. On the contrary, Li Zhun was the only one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Know what Zhao Quan is thinking!And Li Zhun's doing this is not outrageous, but respecting the emperor's ideas.

How sad is it that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can't see the emperor's thoughts?

In fact, the officials and ministers above the court are not mediocre people, but after Zhao Quan became seriously ill, they have been putting pressure on Li Zhun, except for some people like Shi Zhongyuan who really don't think carefully and don't know !There are also some people, because of various reasons, they knew or guessed Zhao Quan's thoughts, some people thought it was not worth it, and the cost was too high, so they opposed Li Zhun; Some people are worried that something will happen to the emperor, when the whole army collapses and the Liao army kills them, Li Zhun will not be able to support it, and then their lives and current status will be endangered, so they also oppose it!

Shi Zhongyuan originally had a good relationship with Li Zhun, Ji Ping, and Cao Gang. Shi Zhongyuan had always been clear about the prince and Wanmin praying for blessings before Zhao Quanyu's personal conquest.

At the beginning, because of Zhao Quan's illness, he didn't think about it carefully. Now that he had figured out the emperor's thoughts, Shi Zhongyuan looked back and couldn't help but think that he was willing to resign from the position of privy envoy in order to make the emperor make up his mind to fight in person. , gave up the seat to Li Zhun's Cao Gang!

Obviously, Cao Gang knew Zhao Quan's intentions a long time ago, and Cao Gang has been trying his best to promote the emperor's personal conquest!
Otherwise, why would Cao Gang deliberately ask to be transferred to Shandong to replace Li Zhun?

Cao Gang knew clearly that the emperor trusted Li Zhun, and Li Zhun... was a resolute person, a man with his own opinions, and... Li Zhun was also a warlike person.

Four years ago in the An-Liao battle, Li Zhun was the main fighter!
Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyuan smiled helplessly, because it suddenly occurred to him that Ji Ping also supported Yujia's personal conquest at the beginning, and his feelings were so up and down, everyone knew it, so he kept it from himself!
Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyuan couldn't help but look to the south. Far away in the south, the young man who kept his mother's filial piety, did he also know the emperor's thoughts?
