Pei Min really didn't know whether Li Longji could listen or not, but the current situation in the Tang Dynasty is thousands of times better than in history.

The only drawback is Wang Hui and Yang Jieyu.

Although the threats of these two people are not as good as those of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, they cannot let them act recklessly and destroy the great mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.

The celebration banquet was held in Huayouxianghui Building in Xingqing Palace.

Hua'e Xianghui Tower is a special building in Xingqing Palace. Because Li Longji's status was granted by his elder brother Ning Wang Li Xian and second brother Li Xuan.

In order to thank his brother for his moral behavior, after he ascended the throne, Li Longji built the Huayou Xianghui Tower for their brothers in Xingqing Palace. He and his brothers came here from time to time, played music and chat, ate together, drank, played chess, and gave them gold, silver, silk and fun.

In this Huayouxianghui Building, there is also a huge bed, an extra-long pillow and a wide quilt, which is for the five brothers to sleep together and sleep together.

However, with the premature death of the second son Li Rong and the death of the fourth son Li Longfan, Hua'e Xianghui Tower gradually became less lively than before and became a banquet and entertainment venue in Xingqing Palace.

The Huacao Xianghui Tower is surrounded by double-story corridors, with novel and lively space concepts and magnificent buildings.

Pei Min came here many times in her early years, but she didn't find it novel.

Li Siye, Zhehuchen, Gao Xianzhi, Li Yide and others were like rural guys entering the city, dazzled and were amazed all the way to the hall.

The banquet was naturally dominated by heroes led by Pei Min and his group.

And everyone is surrounded by officials.

Pei Min, a king with a different surname, was naturally in the chief. What surprised him was that the person who drank with him was Li Yuanhong, the current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min smiled politely and did superficial skills.

No matter what, even if Pei Min doesn't like Li Yuanhong's repeated targeting, he is unwilling to cause a disagreement between generals and ministers.

Surprisingly, the expression on Li Yuanhong's face was a little embarrassed, and then he smiled calmly.

The smile was a little intimate, making Pei Min feel a little puzzled.

As the banquet began, the singers and dancers from the Liyuan Garden entered one after another.

They have been through many battles, and their familiar singing and playing music has inspired the atmosphere of the banquet.

"The Prince of Wuwei!"

Pei Min was not used to this title for a moment, so he paused and realized that he was calling him. He quickly raised his glass and said, "Li Xiang!"

Li Yuanhong said: "I am a big old man, and I am getting back to life. Compared with the great benevolence and righteousness of the prince, I am extremely pedantic and shameful. At this celebration banquet, I will punish myself three cups and apologize to the prince."

Li Yuanhong's sudden change caught Pei Min off guard, and he quickly calmed down and said, "Li Xiang is kind. You are polite. You would rather move to the south mountain than change the judgment. Everyone knows. Min, the younger generation, dare not accept these three cups of rituals. Let's drink with Li Xiang."

Pei Min talked about the most famous case in Li Yuanhong's early years.

It was during the Wu Zetian period and during the Shenlong period, Li Yuanhong moved to the Sihu in Yongzhou. He always worked hard to do his best, fair and unbiased, and was deeply trusted by local scholars and people.

At that time, Princess Taiping condoned her family slaves forcibly occupying a stone mill in a temple, and the monks in the temple refused to sue the official. Li Yuanhong accepted the case and enforced the law impartially. He did not fear Princess Taiping's power and immediately sentenced him to the monk temple.

Yongzhou Chief Dou Huaizhen was afraid of Princess Taiping and hurried to find Li Yuanhong and asked him to change the verdict.

Li Yuanhong was indomitable and directly wrote in the judgment: "The Nanshan may be moved, but this judgment will never be shaken."

For this example, later generations also derived an idiom called the Nanshan Iron Case to describe a case that is judged and unchangeable.

Pei Min and Li Yuanhong drank three cups each other.

Li Yuanhong sighed: "I finally understood that for the sake of the Yao prime minister in the past, Song Guogong was praised by Duke Pei. Compared with Duke, our actions that seem to be for the country and the people are actually nothing. If it weren't for the advice of His Majesty today, I would probably have become a sinner in our dynasty."

It turned out that Li Longji also saw that Li Yuanhong intended to weaken the border general. He is now trying to make a stable state in the court and is unwilling to cause trouble. He specially transferred Pei Min's words to Li Yuanhong word by word.

Li Yuanhong just realized that Pei Min's intention was even better than them.

In terms of mind and demeanor, they were left far behind.

Pei Min insisted on his own opinions, but was able to understand the administrative philosophy of peace and policy that was dominated by the people.

But they couldn't do this. Not only did they not do it, but they had always planned to force Bian Shuai to agree with their purpose in oppressive ways.

The difference between the two cannot be considered reasonably.

Pei Min also understood the reason, looked at Li Longji who was watching the singing and dancing seriously at the top seat, and said, "Li Xiang is polite. The path of literature and martial arts is inevitable. It is best to find a balance point. Even if you can't find it, there is no need to be a stubborn person. After all, no matter who wins and loses during the battle, the backbone of the court is the one who loses. I don't want to see Li Xiang change his original intention, but instead compete for a healthy competition, which will help the development of the family and country, urge each other, and help the stability of the world. The combination of civil and military affairs is the real way to make a strong country."

Li Yuanhong nodded and said, "What the prince said is reasonable, and it is indeed prejudice in the lower level. I hope the prince can understand the difficulties in the lower level. Although the soldiers of the Southern Yai are not under the control of the prime minister, the prime minister has the power to mobilize the imperial guards of the Southern Yai. I have seen the situation of the Southern Yai imperial guards. Many times, the so-called imperial guards are better than the local gangsters. Not to mention the combat power compared to the border troops, even ordinary soldiers are not as good as those of ordinary soldiers."

He said worriedly.

When Pei Min heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and another swear word was in his mouth, but he didn't reveal it.

There is no problem with the imperial guards in one year or two. The imperial guards are incompetent, so they need to weaken the border army? The imperial guards have no combat effectiveness and must also make the border army lose its combat effectiveness.

This will not cause strong outside and weak inside!

In theory, this logic is feasible.

But I never thought that the border army collapsed like the Central Army. Who will resist the fierce foreign tribes? Will they weaken their combat effectiveness and maintain peace in the world?

Pei Min said: "The best solution is to reform the imperial guards. Raise the combat power of the imperial guards, rather than tearing down the east wall to repair the western wall. The capital is a gathering place for heroes in the world. It is impossible to have no military management talents. As long as they are willing to make up their minds, why worry about the combat power of the imperial guards not being improved? If it really doesn't work, I can also choose a few people from the army to support Li Xiang. As long as the imperial guards are strong, the world will be safe."

Li Yuanhong was silent for a long time and sighed: "Rong thought about this matter carefully."

Pei Min didn't say anything, but just sighed in his heart.

This kind of military reform requires great courage.

It is true that Li Yuanhong can be like Lian Po in the past, which shows his own character and integrity.

But not anyone can have such things as courage.

As the leader of the conservatives, if Li Yuanhong focuses on developing the military system, their faction will be in chaos.

Li Yuanhong is a capable minister, but there is a gap with Yao Chong and Song Jing.
