[Yinyu] Spring water surrounds Biancheng.

"I've been looking forward to this for so long, and I'm looking forward to Mr. Zhou! Mr. Zhou, please hurry up!"

At the gate of Yan Wang's mansion, Li Hongji, dressed in black and black embroidered python uniform, was smiling to greet Zhou Zong, the imperial prince.

Zhou Zong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "If you don't dare to be, please, His Royal Highness King Yan first."

The two declined and complimented all the way to the main hall and sat down. Immediately, a servant brewed a good dragon well, and then bowed and retreated. Before going out, they still did not forget to close the door lightly.

When His Royal Highness the King of Yan saw the ministers of the court, he never needed servants to serve him.

Zhou Zong straightened his sleeves and said with a smile: "This time, the old minister has been busy with political affairs and has no time to visit the prince. I hope the prince is not to blame. The old minister is here, and I have to wish the prince a victory in the battle."

Li Hongji smiled and waved his hands, "There are not tens of thousands of people, what a big battle. Besides, I was lucky enough to win the battle by relying on the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's not a big deal."

He spoke humbly, but his eyes were full of undisguised pride.

Zhou Zong followed his words and said: "It all depends on your lordship, you are wise and martial, and you command properly."

Li Hongji laughed, "Okay, I'm not tired of talking about the scene all the way? Let's talk about business, how is Chaozhong recently...?"

"Don't worry, my lord. You have great military achievements, and you are the crown prince. I have already discussed with the senior ministers of Mr. Xiao, and I will speak more good words for you in the court recently. What you need to do is to wait and see what happens. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the lord had better not intervene." Zhou Zong said in a low voice.

Li Hongji nodded in agreement, "Father has always disliked my aggressive temper. Now my son calms down and handles some military affairs properly. The effect is actually better than meddling indiscriminately."

Although the Southern Tang Dynasty regards Li Jing's younger brother Li Jingsui as his great younger brother, but this person has not made any achievements in the Eastern Palace, and in addition to King Yan's outstanding military exploits in recent years, he has the potential to replace his uncle.

Uncles and nephews vying for the heir, brothers fighting for the throne, the battles of the royal family have never stopped.

The two talked in secret about many specific details of the struggle for the reserve. Seeing that it was still early, they talked for a long time. From the temple officialdom to the general trend of the world, they had a very happy chat.

Seeing that Li Hongji was in high spirits, Zhou Zong pretended to mention it unintentionally, and said, "My lord, I'm here this time, and I want to recommend someone to my lord."

Li Hongji raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Oh? Tell me quickly, who can win Lord Zhou's favor and recommend it to me?"

"The staff of the Sixth Prince are in vain." Zhou Zongdao.

Li Hongji turned cold almost instantly, "Why is it him?"

"What does your lord think of this person?" Zhou Zong asked.

Li Hongji snorted coldly, "A rough and reckless man, he doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!"

"Rough and reckless, will you read some military history books all day long?" Zhou Zong pointed out with a smile.

"Have you checked?" Li Hongji asked with a frown.

Zhou Zong nodded with a smile, but did not speak.

"What is this person's background?"

"Clean and clean. This man was born in Xuzhou. His father is a well-known local businessman. There are three brothers in his family, and he is the second child. When he was 15 years old, he went out to make a living, not so much for making a living, but for relying on the family's surplus money. Playing around." Zhou Zong explained slowly.

After a quick meeting at the banquet that day, he hastily asked someone to investigate Bai Qi's daily life on Zhongshan Mountain, and also checked his resume over the years, and there was indeed no major problem.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Hongji became even more impatient, "What do you want me to do with such a prodigal son?"

Zhou Zong hurriedly said: "My lord, I think this man is heroic, has great ambitions, is not frightened by favor or humiliation, and is not afraid of danger. He is indeed a rare talent!"

"Okay!" Li Hongji said angrily, "What kind of majestic and ambitious man? If he had great ambition, he would be able to enter the Sixth Prince's Mansion? You don't need to say any more, I will never use this person!"

Zhou Zong was speechless and silently sighed in his heart.

He had long heard that Li Hongji and Bai had any old grievances, and this recommendation deliberately picked Li Hongji's happiest time, but he didn't expect it to be a mess.

Having secretly supported Li Hongji for so many years, Zhou Zong also had some understanding of this man's temperament. He was brave and good at fighting. emperor.

But looking at the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is no one who is more suitable than him.

Since King Yan couldn't get through here, Zhou Zong didn't intend to give up, but Bai did have the talent to be a general, he was sure to use this person, and if King Yan didn't use it, others might not.

Zhou Zong made up his mind in his heart, but changed the topic calmly on his face, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then parted ways.

As soon as he returned to his own mansion, Zhou Zong ordered to the people below: "Give me a generous gift, I have to pay a visit to the sixth prince tomorrow."

Zhou Zong really chose a good day, if he went to pay a visit to the sixth prince on Zhongshan Mountain today, he would be ashamed if he couldn't even see him.
