While thinking about Chen Boyu's embarrassing things, Zhang Changzong listened to Di Renjie and His Majesty the Emperor's discussion on politics.

"What do you think of your Majesty's advice?"

Di Renjie asked respectfully, and Her Majesty the Queen pondered and said, "The imperial court has been fighting for years and has spent a lot of money. The four towns in Anxi and two places in Andong Protectorate have increased. The people are in vain. I ask the four towns in Anxi to abolish the four towns in Anxi to save military expenses and enrich the four sides. Andong will abolish it to make the western Liaoning and save military expenses."

Her Majesty the Empress was still silent, but just stood up and walked to the map hanging beside him, looking at the map in a narrow view. Zhang Changzong also followed him to look at the map. He did not know whether Di Renjie's advice was adopted by the Empress in history, but in his personal opinion, he did not agree with Di Renjie's advice.

Di Renjie's starting point was to care for the people and wanted to save military expenditures to allow the people to recuperate. However, from a military perspective, this advice was not applicable, because the four towns of Anxi faced Tubo, while the Andong Protectorate faced the ethnic minorities in the north and Silla on the peninsula.

Zhang Changzong looked at Di Renjie and looked at His Majesty the Empress, wanting to see if she had the intention to adopt it. The Empress turned around and accidentally saw him, and couldn't help but smile: "Liu Langxu has any opinion on Huaiying's advice?"

Zhang Changzong said: "When you go back to your Majesty, Liulang doesn't understand Di Gong's plan very well. However, in terms of the locations of the east and west protectors, it is the forefront of our dynasty in the northwest and Liaodong. Liulang just feels that it is easy to abolish these two places, but it is not easy to build again."

After saying this, Shangguan Wan'er was not surprised. She contacted Zhang Changzong every day, so she naturally knew that his martial arts was not just about martial arts, but also about martial arts.

Her Majesty the Queen was quite surprised. Looking at Zhang Changzong's eyes, she seemed to be a little happy. Di Renjie glanced at him silently and said, "However, Turks are invading south every year. In order to fight against the Turks, the imperial court spent a lot of money. The four towns of Anxi and Andong are currently calm. Cutting off the expenses of these two places to make up for other places is an unimaginable emergency plan."

Zhang Changzong retorted: "Although what Duke Di is concerned about makes sense, the stability of the northwest and Liaodong is precisely because of the existence of the two Protectorate Mansions, Anxi and Andong. If there were no these two Protectorate Mansions, the situation in these two places would not be as good as it is today. Tubo and Silla are not obedient people, and Di Gong believes it or not. As long as these two Protectorate Mansions are withdrawn, our dynasty will not only deal with the invasion of the Turks, but also the eye of Tubo and Silla. What should we do then? So..."

Zhang Changzong saluted to the Queen of the Queen: "Your Majesty, Liulang believes that the existence of the two Protectorate Mansions in Anxi and Andong has more benefits than disadvantages. Even Liulang believes that as long as our dynasty's national strength is not destroyed, the existence of these two places will be a deterrent to the northwest and Liaodong. The worst thing is, even if these two places change and the existence of these two Protectorate Mansions can give our dynasty enough time to respond, so that we will not be caught off guard, and will not be able to drive straight in."

Di Renjie pursed his lips, fell silent, and stopped talking. His Majesty the Empress looked at him and praised happily: "Okay, very good! Liu Lang has this insight today, which shows that our Liu Lang has really grown up and Wan'er has made contributions in teaching!"

The last sentence was when he looked at Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er smiled and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded. Liu Lang can do the same thing as a slave. Your Majesty often points him out. His Majesty should be the best in terms of merit."

The empress smiled and pointed her with a finger. She obviously had seen through Shangguan Wan'er's flattery. However, she had something more concerned about: "It is obvious that Yu Wuluo is not a person who can say this. Your Mengshi Li Qinrang, Wan'er and I have never taught you these things. Who taught me?"

Zhang Changzong replied: "Your Majesty, it's Mr. Chen. Over the years, as long as Mr. Chen is in the capital, he will guide Liulang from time to time. Mr. Chen said that if you are interested in talent and learning, Liulang has guidance from master to guide him, but he is not good at talking much, but Liulang is a man after all. If he is not engaged in military affairs, it will be a pity that he taught me a lot of military affairs. Then, his adopted mother invited me to a teacher who is riding and shooting martial arts. Liulang has been learning these years."

"Mr. Chen... Could it be Chen Boyu?"

The empress thought for a while and finally remembered who could be called Mr. Chen by Zhang Changzong. Zhang Changzong said: "Your Majesty, it is Mr. Chen Boyu."

The empress's expression was unpredictable, but she said, "No wonder your poetry style has gradually become strong, which is very different from your master's style of writing. It turns out that she was influenced by Chen Zi'ang. Why have you never heard you mention it?"

Zhang Changzong said with a little ashamed: "When you go back to Your Majesty, Mr. Chen once said that he is honest and unintentional, and does not know how to be liked by others. If Your Majesty doesn't ask, please tell me not to mention it on his own initiative, so as not to affect my impression in front of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty asks, you can't deceive the emperor. You can tell me the truth. Mr. Chen refuses to accept my teacher's courtesy. Although he treats me like a disciple, he always calls him a friend. This... Your Majesty, will you punish Mr. Chen?"

The empress's mind was turned, but her face was not revealed, and she glanced lightly: "Since you know that I don't like Chen Boyu's temperament, why do you still have to learn military affairs from him?"

Zhang Changzong said seriously: "Because Liulang knew that Your Majesty was not the one who treated his ministers with likes and dislikes. Mr. Chen had the talent of Jingwei. Although his temperament was upright, His Majesty would definitely have the reason for Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty had a broad mind and would definitely not punish Liulang or Mr. Chen just because Liulang learned military strategies from him. This is Liulang's slight opinion or something that he thought he was self-righteous. Please forgive him."

The empress just nodded, and did not say whether to punish or not, but turned to Di Renjie and said, "Huaiying, I will consider your advice and will also summon the Political Affairs Hall to discuss. You should retreat first. After running so far, let's go and rest."

"Here, thank you for your compassion for me, I will surrender first."

As he said that, he bowed respectfully and prepared to leave the palace. Zhang Changzong refuted the advice that he had obviously thoughtful and thoughtfully. He felt a little embarrassed and bowed to the person: "Di Gong walked slowly."

Di Renjie nodded and retreated without saying anything. No ministers were present. Her Majesty the Empress returned to her couch and waved to Zhang Changzong: "Come here."

Zhang Changzong didn't understand what she called him, but he walked over. Her Majesty the Empress asked someone to put a small couch at her feet, let Zhang Changzong sit down, and then asked, "Why are you here today?"

Zhang Changzong: "When you go back to Your Majesty, Liulang has written a new fu, and wants to use it as a script. I would like to ask the master to give a comment."

"Is that so? Take it to me and take a look with you."

"Uh... Isn't I openly cheating if you ask Your Majesty to comment? Just let you review the poem. If you want you to read this poem, Liulang doesn't have to go to the script. Just wait for Your Majesty to choose to be the top scholar."

Her Majesty the Empress couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and waved her hand and said, "Stop it, since Liulang doesn't want me to see it, I won't read it anymore. Speaking of which, Liulang, your writing and military strategy are combined with your military strategy. What position do you want to do in the future?"

Zhang Changzong was stunned when asked. Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes to look at her stupid apprentice and whispered: "I'm going to hide it from Your Majesty, Liu Lang's martial arts are also good."

Her Majesty the Empress was surprised: "Is it still good at martial arts?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "I heard from the princess that the guards in her mansion could not be close to him at all. If one on one, they would be even more invincible."

Her Majesty the Queen was really surprised. She knew the guards in Princess Taiping’s mansion. Most of the veterans were good players who were selected by Emperor Gaozong when she was there. Later, she decided to choose a lot of them. They were not much worse than the imperial guards in her palace. Liu Lang was actually better than these?!

The empress looked at Zhang Changzong's young and handsome face, and her heart was sure, but she didn't show her face. She just smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Liulang is so talented. It seems that I don't know enough about you on weekdays. Let's talk, what do Xiao Liulang want to do next day? Prime Minister or general?"
