Chapter 68
At dawn the next day, Wang Jianji and a group of Luzhou officials had already entered the Luzhou Governor's Mansion.

Fortunately, it's morning, and I feel refreshed. If it's noon, it might be hot.

The governor's mansion was originally the office of the governor of a state, but now it has become a place where fake Li Cunxu sings poems and sings.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Jianji saw Ling Guan mirroring his demons.This actor with heavy makeup and foundation is currently the confidant of the fake Li Cunxu.

"Morning, my lord." Wang Jianji greeted the mirror demon first, remembering the way of flattering officials taught by Guo Chongtao.

Mirror Heart Demon rolled his eyes, as if he was surprised by Wang Jian and his obsequious attitude.

Shouldn't the image of a flattering treacherous minister be me?He must have other plans...

Mirror Heart Demon immediately blocked Wang Jianji's way, pulled him aside and asked, "General Wang is not going to train the army and strengthen the city's defenses, why are you here..."

Wang Jianji put away the contempt of the past, with a respectful expression on his face, he nodded quickly and said: "Today, Luzhou is full of waste, and the people are rich, and the general is about to report to His Highness..."

The Mirror Heart Demon couldn't figure out what Wang Jianji was thinking, so he said in a playful voice: "General Wang shared the worries of His Highness, it is really an example for all the ministers..."

"I wonder if His Highness is in the house?" Wang Jianji asked.

Mirror Heart Demon glanced at him, and said: "Your Highness was exhausted from working hard last night, and now he just got up and is having breakfast. General Wang and you should wait a while."

Wang Jianji was not surprised, nor did he have any complaints, but said against his will: "The reason why Your Highness is working so hard is because your subordinates are not effective in handling affairs, and you didn't do your best to share His worries."

……

inside the house.

In the inner hall of the governor's mansion, the fake Li Cunxu who had just had breakfast walked in, and he said, "Mirror Demon, how are you preparing for the recruitment of the army?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, your subordinates have already sent someone to handle this matter." The heavily made-up Jing Xin Mo gestured with his fingers, and said to Li Cunxu who was sitting on the big seat: "By the way, Your Highness, Wang Jianji and others Officials are begging to see you outside the door."

"Wang Jianji? Doesn't he usually come here?" Fake Li Cunxu was a little surprised, and asked with a frown, "Why is he here?"

"This subordinate doesn't know." Mirror Heart Demon said.

The fake Li Cunxu thought for a moment and said, "Let them all come in."

At this time, an actor got the order and went out of the house to preach to Wang Jianji and other officials.

After being summoned, a group of officials walked in.Entering the main hall, everyone found that there were masked actors lined up on both sides, each of them holding a long sword as an accessory.

Although they were just long swords for show, Wang Jianji knew that they were not just putting on airs, but masters of martial arts.

After the officials came in, they paid respects to the fake Li Cunxu who was sitting on it, and said straightly: "See Your Royal Highness."

"Excuse me!" The fake Li Cunxu unknowingly began to imitate the demeanor of those high-ranking officials in his memory.

After the ceremony, Wang Jian and a group of officials stood in order under the hall according to their official positions.

At this time, Wang Jianji and other officials all lowered their heads, unable to see the fake Li Cunxu's face clearly, and after a while, they only heard him ask: "What is the important thing you want to see this time?"

All the officials know the character of the person sitting on the seat, and dare not speak falsely.In the empty lobby, no one responded for a while.

After a while, Wang Jianji was finally the first to stand up, and he said calmly, "The general has a few words, I don't know if I should say them..."

The fake Li Cunxu had the demeanor of an enlightened monarch, and said grandly: "But it's okay to talk about it!"

Wang Jianji knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said: "His Royal Highness, the general's self-knowledge ability is shallow, and he is not qualified to be the commander of the Fengyi Army. Your Highness, please find another talented and good general."

Taking retreat as advance is the strategy discussed by Guo Chongtao and Wang Jianji.Logically speaking, the relationships among the officers of the Fengyi Army are closely linked, and they have already formed their own network of relationships. Even if the fake Li Cunxu replaces Wang Jianji, he may not be able to control the Fengyi Army.

Therefore, the two speculated that the fake Li Cunxu would definitely not accept Wang Jianji's resignation.

Of course, if the fake Li Cunxu didn't play his cards according to the routine and insisted on accepting the Fengyi Army, then they would launch a mutiny as soon as they returned.

Sure enough, although the fake Li Cunxu was ecstatic for a moment, but then put away his joyful expression, pretended to be calm, and said earnestly: "General Wang has experienced many battles and has a strategy in his belly. There is no need to mention the matter of resignation as the best candidate for the Commander of the Rebel Army."

When Wang Jianji heard this, he immediately became excited, cupped his fists in salute and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness, the final general will definitely do his best and be loyal to the Lord!"

After a pause, Wang Jianji then said loudly: "The last general has one more thing."

"speak!"

Wang Jianji clasped his fists and said, "The final general begs His Royal Highness to expand the army."

"Oh?" Fake Li Cunxu was unexpected, this statement did not seem to come from Wang Jianji's mouth at all.

Wang Jianji paused for a moment, then continued: "Since Your Highness is the heir of King Jin, in the future..."

"What in the future?"

Wang Jianji lowered his voice, and said: "In the future, he will definitely ascend to the throne of King Jin... Although Li Siyuan is currently in charge of the Jin Kingdom, as long as King Jin leaves the pass, His Highness will be able to use his fists..."

King Jin?Fake Li Cunxu frowned upon hearing this.Hearing Wang Jian and mentioning King Jin, he remembered the actual Lord of Jin.He hasn't met Jin Wang Li Keyong yet, and he doesn't want to see Jin Wang Li Keyong.

Once he meets Li Keyong, his identity may be exposed. Jin Wang is Li Cunxu's biological father, and I am afraid that he will not fail to recognize his son.

I could only hear Wang Jianji continue to say: "But the King of Jin is currently in retreat, and most of the domestic government affairs are controlled by Li Siyuan, which is very unfavorable to His Royal Highness...

Although His Highness is the eldest son of King Jin, the King of Jin will most likely support His Highness with all his strength, but the situation does not wait for anyone. His Highness must have enough strength to fight against Li Siyuan before King Jin leaves the customs.

Only with a certain amount of strength can His Highness impress King Jin and deal with Li Siyuan.Therefore, the final general begged His Royal Highness to build a new army in order to achieve great things. "

After Wang Jianji finished speaking, he bowed and clasped his fists and stood in the hall without saying a word.

Fake Li Cunxu was very touched after hearing what Wang Jian and just now said.At present, what he is worried about is not his own identity, but Li Siyuan's threat.

During the days when he was the heir of the Prince of Jin, spies from Taiyuan continued to travel in Luzhou City, and his intentions can be seen.

"In your opinion, how many troops should be recruited?" Fake Li Cunxu asked with interest.

"Ten thousand!" Wang Jianji affirmed, he was deliberately exaggerating.

"Ten thousand?"

The fake Li Cunxu was sitting there leisurely just now, but now he stood up from his seat, as if he was surprised by Wang Jianji's astonishing remarks.

Although he is ambitious, it doesn't mean he is a fool. Luzhou is a small place, and it is wishful thinking to recruit 1 people.

In the land of Luzhou, there are less than [-] men who can meet the conditions for joining the army.

Moreover, even if [-] soldiers can be recruited, there is not enough military pay!

"Wang Jianji, aren't you kidding me?" The fake Li Cunxu looked at Wang Jianji with his eyes.

Wang Jianji bowed his head immediately when he heard the words, and said: "The general will not dare, but His Highness thinks carefully, you have led an army to attack and conquer Zezhou before, made great achievements, and gained fame. Your Highness's prestige in Zezhou and even in the Zelu area It's already extremely heavy!"

Wang Jianji looked at the fake Li Cunxu and saw that he was silent, so he continued: "As long as His Highness orders the recruitment of troops in the Zelu area, people will definitely gather to respond. As for Li Siyuan's status as His Highness's eldest son, I am afraid that he will not act recklessly." stop."

When the fake Li Cunxu heard this, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

But he thought about it again, the real problem with recruiting troops was the military pay.Without military pay, how can we support the army?What if the soldiers' salaries cannot be paid and the soldiers mutiny?
He glanced at the mirror demon standing beside him again.Mirror Heart Demon is faithfully playing the role of an actor who does not interfere in politics, and has absolutely no intention of saying anything...

Although military pay is still a problem, he finally moved.Thinking of the majestic scene of controlling millions of strings and smashing the enemy while talking and laughing, who can not be moved?

He asked expectantly, "What about the salary of the sergeant?"

At this time, Wang Jianji immediately bowed and said: "The final general will recommend Lord Jingxinmo to be in charge of this matter. Lord Jingxinmo is loyal and helps His Highness kill powerful ministers. He is definitely a minister and a general! If you leave it to the adults to take charge, there is definitely a way to get the military salary!"

It was only then that the fake Li Cunxu remembered that the Mirror Heart Demon had extraordinary means.If he is really loyal, he should help him raise military expenses, right?
Hearing Wang Jianji's words, the Mirror Heart Demon just wanted to refute, but when he saw the earnest expression on the fake Li Cunxu's face, he forcibly swallowed what was on his lips and remained silent.

"Mirror Demon, what do you think?"

"This...as a subject, this subordinate should naturally follow orders, but if this subordinate doesn't know how to do this, I'm afraid he may not be able to help His Highness..."

"You don't need to be humble, just do it with confidence, and you will succeed." At this time, the fake Li Cunxu waved his hand violently, and his tone was full of pride, "I will leave the matter of raising military salaries to you! Jingxin Demon, handle this matter well. , There are many rewards!"

"Obey!" Mirror Heart Demon could only respond when he heard this sentence, with mixed feelings in his heart.
