There is currently only one prime minister in Jihan.

If the Han Dynasty flourished three times, there would probably only be one like this.

Feng Da Sima nodded, indicating that Li Xiang had guessed correctly.

His eyes looked towards the tent door, as if he wanted to look further through the tent door.

"Yes, that's the Prime Minister. I remember that when Chang'an was recaptured, the Prime Minister refused to enter the city first. He specially sent someone to summon me and entered Chang'an with me. His intention to protect him with his fists made me feel like boiling water boiling my heart every time I think about it."

Feng Da Sima's voice seemed to be close but was actually far away. He was remembering and longing for her, but also a little regretful and sad, which made Li Xiang not dare to answer easily.

In fact, with his current status, he is not qualified to talk about this topic.

His relationship with Da Sima was not as close as this.

So he didn't understand why Da Sima mentioned this to him.

There was silence in the tent for a long time, and then Feng Dashima's voice continued to sound:

"The recovery of the old capital of Chang'an was a matter worthy of joy and celebration, but who would have expected that the prime minister fell ill due to overwork and became seriously ill."

Li Xiang then opened his mouth and said:

"The prime minister was appointed when the army was defeated, and he was ordered to be in danger, but he was afraid of harming the late emperor's reputation, so he devoted himself to the Han Dynasty and died. I am a model of a true Han minister, and I can't live up to it."

"Yeah, I can't wait for the Prime Minister to be in trouble."

Feng Da Sima spoke up, saying one more word than Li Xiang:

"The Prime Minister was seriously ill in Chang'an, and His Majesty sent Li Pushe to visit him and consult the Prime Minister on national affairs a hundred years from now."

Having said this, he looked at Li Xiang and said, "I didn't expect that His Majesty would send you to see me again today. It reminds me of this old incident in Chang'an."

Hearing Feng Da Sima's words, Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He always felt that there was something in Feng Da Sima's words.

But for a moment, he was a little confused about the meaning behind Da Sima's words.

If you can't figure it out, you won't dare to speak easily.

There was no focus in Feng Da Sima's eyes, and he had no intention of forcing Li Xiang to speak. He just asked in a nonchalant voice:

"Does Li Shangshu remember the former Hussars General Li Ping (aka Li Yan)?"

Li Xiang's heart involuntarily jumped a few times again.

Li Ping is one of the two auxiliary ministers appointed by the late emperor to His Majesty. How could he not know?

Having said this, Li Xiang already vaguely understood what Feng Dashima might be going to say.

In other words, why did Da Sima behave so abnormally in the past few days.

He couldn't help but whispered:

"Da Sima, that's not the case, is it? Who doesn't know that you and His Majesty are so close, well, His Majesty has great trust in Da Sima..."

As close as brothers, indeed as close as brothers.

No, maybe His Majesty is not as affectionate to his brothers as he is to Da Sima.

After all, they are brothers-in-law.

Feng Da Sima's eyes finally gained focus, and he glanced over, with a calm smile on his face:

"Does Li Shangshu think that I can still compare with the Prime Minister? However, even the Prime Minister, when he led the army in the Northern Expedition, the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor dared to hold back the rear."

"People say that I am cruel and ruthless, and they call me the reincarnation of the Ghost King. You can imagine how much they hate me. There are so many people in this world who want my life."

"Whenever there is a chance, I don't know how many people will express my greedy words in front of Your Majesty. As the saying goes, a lot of words make gold, but accumulation destroys bones."

"A wise man like Emperor Xiaowen would still summon important ministers like Ji Bu based on their reputation and send them away after destroying others."

"Now in the battle in Hebei, all my fellow men, both wise and foolish, think that victory is within their grasp and have no other ideas."

"Especially when the news of General Zhendong's great victory outside the Great Wall spread to Taiyuan, there have been rumors outside that the recovery of Hebei is just around the corner."

"In words, it seems as if a large army can fly across the Taihang Mountains in one day, and the rebels in Hebei will abandon their armor and switch sides when they hear the arrival of the king's army."

Feng Da Sima stared at Li Xiang, "Li Shangshu, tell me honestly, is there anyone in the court who thinks this way?"

Li Xiang felt the intimidation of Da Sima's gaze and did not dare to raise his head, na na said: "Yes."

In fact, even he had some thoughts like this.

There is even an optimistic statement in the DPRK that the Han cavalry can completely conquer Hebei in three months.

Both the government and the public were extremely optimistic about this war.

In particular, General Zhendong's great victory in conquering hundreds of thousands of barbarians pushed this optimism to its peak.

Therefore, there was no fluctuation in the battle reports of the Central Government regarding Da Sima, who captured a fort today, attacked a stronghold tomorrow, and captured dozens of people the next day. They even thought it was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"But for me, this time my opponent, Sima Yi, is my biggest enemy since I led the army on the expedition."

Feng Da Sima's voice was faint and faint, "Judging from the current situation, it would be fine if the war goes well, and everyone would take it for granted."

"But what if there are twists and turns? I'm afraid I will have doubts and criticism." Feng Dasima looked at Li Xiang and said meaningfully, "If there is an emergency, maybe there will be a fierce public sentiment?"

In addition, some guys who stab Feng Da Sima and villain every day add fuel to the fire.

There is also a certain queen who always wants to return to live in Weiyang Palace.

Jiang Wan was seriously ill and could hardly manage.

Fei Yi, who succeeded Jiang Wan, did not have enough prestige.

The chancellery may not be able to suppress the interest groups in North Korea and China competing for the right to bark dogs.

What if Adou, a ruthless person like what he did in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, calls someone Feng back to Chang'an who is facing off at the front line, saying that he is lonely, lonely, and misses him, so he calls him back to talk...

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

When Li Xiang heard these words from Da Sima, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Because these words of Da Sima not only accurately stated the views and mentality of most people in the court today, but even stated some possible situations that may arise in the future.

Your Majesty still knows Da Sima!

No wonder he was specially sent to see Da Sima, ostensibly to reward the army, but actually to ask Da Sima privately what he was thinking.

Thinking about all these, he did not forget the purpose of his trip, and asked boldly: "Da Sima is not confident in this battle?"

"If I don't have confidence, why should I be a leader?" Da Sima snorted coldly, and then softened his tone, "But what if I have more confidence? As the saying goes, you can't be careless in a dangerous battle."

Li Xiang asked again:

"What does Da Sima mean?"

"This battle may be more difficult and longer than we imagined..." Feng Dasima finally revealed his "truth", "I have already said hello to you at the Chancellor's desk, please be careful to prepare more food and fodder.

"

"But except for the chancellery, no one in the court or at the top of the court has a correct idea of ​​how long this battle will last."

Li Xiang heard this and waited for a long time, but did not hear Da Sima continue to speak, so he had to ask:

"Then according to Da Sima's estimation, how long will this battle last?"

"have no idea."

Li Xiang:……

"But I know that the fight may take a long time, so Your Majesty must be mentally prepared."

"Xiang understands."

After someone sent Li Xiang away, Feng Da Sima looked far away, looking in a certain direction, with a slight coldness in his eyes.
