321, Cruel Strategy (Please Order the Full Version)

"What is the Marquis of Linyi looking at me for..."

"It will be time to go on stage soon. Google search and read"

Concubine Wu Hui opened her red lips slightly, she was delighted and said calmly.

As the main force of the horse team, their horses were close at this time, slightly behind by one horse head, so she and Bai Gui were close to each other, and when they talked, they were not afraid of being overheard by others.

Although she approached Bai Gui for a certain purpose, who wouldn't love a handsome man...

"Since Concubine Wu wants to see my riding and shooting skills."

"Then I will show you my ugliness."

Bai Gui retracted his gaze and said slowly.

As the top scholar in the military department, he couldn't let down too much. Li Longji had real strength in horsemanship, and letting down too much would be easily seen by others.

Rein in the horse and enter the field to compete.

Polo is made of wood and leather, hollow in the middle, filled with feathers, painted on the surface, and as big as a fist.

The two teams of horses shuttled and crossed, colliding fiercely.

It was like a battle on the battlefield.

Li Longji had the advantage of terrain and was also an expert in horse riding. In the first game, he hit the goal within a few rounds.

However, in the second game, Bai Gui had learned his lesson. Although he did not deliberately show off his magical cultivation, his martial arts cultivation was not comparable to Li Longji. When the crescent-shaped club touched the polo ball, it seemed to stick to it, following it like a shadow, and then the ball went in.

The third game also went in.

The fourth game, the ball went in again.

At this time, Li Longji also retracted his previous contemptuous thoughts and played polo seriously.

In the fifth game, Li Longji scored.

But in the sixth game, Bai Gui scored again and the ball went in again.

In the seventh game, Li Longji scored.

…

"If I hadn't shown my true ability, I would have lost to Bai Qing this time."

"It was also a narrow victory, only two goals away..."

After playing polo for more than an hour, Li Longji was also sweating profusely, with stinky sweat all over his body, and he said while panting.

As soon as he got off the horse, a maid came up with warm water to wipe him.

"Your Majesty is a master at polo, and I can't match him."

"In the pre-Qin period, Sun Wu served Wu and trained palace maids as soldiers. He proved his talent as a general to King Helu of Wu. Now that Your Majesty can beat me in polo, I think... if Your Majesty is a general outside and leads the army in person, I'm afraid there will be no room for me to perform."

Bai Gui flattered without leaving any trace.

Flattery is just a few words, he said it casually without any psychological burden.

Although he lost to Li Longji for the first time in this polo match, after playing a few games, he gradually became familiar with Li Longji's tactics. Maybe he couldn't beat Li Longji in terms of skills, but he could still beat Li Longji. However, he deliberately lost to Li Longji, not by just one goal, but by two goals.

If he lost by one goal, people would "spread rumors" that he was deliberately defeated and flattering the emperor.

But with a two-goal difference, it is estimated that everyone will think that Li Longji deserves the title of victory!

Although the former will also make the emperor happy, but after a long time, after hearing some rumors, the emperor will also think that you are scheming, but the latter may not get so many benefits for a while, but it is more stable.

"Bai Qing is too modest..."

"I still know my own weight. Playing polo is fine, but if I really want to command a war, it will be a loss to the country."

When Li Longji heard this, his face immediately showed joy, but he kept refusing.

When ordinary eunuchs or generals praised him, he would turn a deaf ear to this. But Bai Gui was the top scholar in the military examination. At a young age, he led troops to destroy a country. He was a famous general of the dynasty, like the champion marquis of the Han Dynasty.

Who wouldn't be like drinking fine wine when such a person flatters him.

"Don't just wipe it for me, wipe the sweat for Bai Qing too."

Li Longji scolded the eunuch beside him.

After wiping the sweat.

Bai Gui prepared to say goodbye and retreat.

"Your Majesty, I haven't done my best yet. Why don't I go down and play polo with Linyi Hou?"

"Your Majesty, please watch from the high platform."

Concubine Wu Hui said to Li Longji coquettishly.

"This matter..."

"Okay, Bai Qing, you can play polo with Concubine Jieyu."

Li Longji nodded and said.

He didn't see anything else in Concubine Wu Hui's eyes. In the past, there were also foreign officials who played polo with his concubines. Now Bai Gui played polo with Concubine Wu Hui, and there was nothing suspicious.

"Your Majesty, I am a court official. How can I play with concubines in the harem?"

"Please forgive me, your majesty. I will take my leave."

Bai Gui frowned, with an unhappy look on his face, and was ready to leave.

If Li Longji was not there, he would not mind playing polo with Concubine Wu Hui or other women, but now that Li Longji was there, he was playing polo with Concubine Wu Hui so openly. It was really hard to guess what Li Longji was thinking.

Since it is difficult to guess, then don't guess. Skipping the problem is also solving the problem.

Moreover, at this time, the ministers playing with the concubines can be interpreted as a favor, or it can be interpreted as a humiliation to the ministers.

This is different from flattering the emperor. Even the most upright ministers have flattered the emperor. When writing memorials, they still have to ask a few words of greeting as usual. When writing poems, they don't say that they hope the emperor will use him as a loyal minister.

Flattering is loyalty!

At this time, as long as the flattery is not excessive and not naked, there is no big problem.

But playing with the concubines, the nature has changed.

Become an actor!

For the literati, it is almost unbearable.

A close minister is a close minister, but he has not only relied on the emperor's favor to get to this point, but also has solid qualifications and military merits.

"Please stay, Bai Qing..."

"This is my fault. I made a slip of the tongue. Please don't blame me, Bai Qing."

Li Longji hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Gui's sleeve, sincerely apologizing.

Bai Gui's actions seemed to be against the emperor's will, but inwardly he was expressing his nobleness, so Li Longji would not be angry, but would be happy and dissuade him.

Of course, this approach is only applicable to wise monarchs. For incompetent monarchs..., such a deep meaning cannot be seen.

"Wu Jieyu, you made a slip of the tongue."

"Why don't you step forward and apologize to Bai Qing..."

Li Longji scolded.

"Linyi Hou, I am rude. Please don't blame me, Linyi Hou."

Wu Huifei's almond eyes were filled with tears, and her watery eyes were pitiful. Tears slid down her delicate face and fell on her clothes.

The collar of the clothes was already stained with sweat, and this drop of sweat made it look very charming.

Bai Gui's face relaxed, and he casually bowed his hands, which was considered to be a revelation.

"I accidentally offended Linyi Hou this time, which not only embarrassed Your Majesty, but also almost humiliated Linyi Hou. I... feel really sorry."

"Why don't I go to Linyi Hou in person to apologize in three days."

"This can show my apology. Secondly, it can also show that Your Majesty is good at governing his subordinates and the harem is virtuous. Thirdly, it can also prove that Linyi Hou has a noble character and a virtuous and elegant style..."

"Maybe it can also become a good story for the ages."

After a while, Wu Huifei wiped her tears and said in a sobbing voice.

"My beloved concubine, this method is very good."

"I didn't expect that my beloved concubine is so smart..."

Li Longji nodded repeatedly.

In short, Wu Huifei's move was a show, but Wu Huifei's show was beneficial to the three of them. Wu Huifei can get a reputation of knowing her mistakes and correcting them, and Li Longji can get even more reputation. Throughout the ages, any wise monarch must have virtuous concubines in the harem. Once this matter is spread, everyone will think that Li Longji treats ministers well and has a tolerant character...

It is also good for Bai Gui.

"What a terrible scheme!"

"If I agreed to play polo with her just now, she would definitely use this to seduce me. If I disagree, I will be in this situation now..."

Bai Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, his face slightly cold.

There is no reason to refuse!

After all, the emperor's concubine apologized in person. If you don't forgive, do you have second thoughts? !

And he obviously can't say that Wu Huifei intended to seduce him... If he said it, Wu Huifei might be harmed, but for him, it would cause endless troubles.

"You must cultivate the golden elixir as soon as possible and stabilize your luck."

"Otherwise, if you can avoid Wu Huifei today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

Bai Gui glanced over the matter of Wu Huifei and became self-aware.

If he had cultivated the golden elixir, he wouldn't have to be so "fearful".

Although cultivating in the wild can also cultivate the golden elixir, it is undoubtedly much slower than cultivating in the court.

He has put in a lot of effort, and now he has everything, how can he give it up easily.

Even if Wu Huifei has some obstacles, this alone will not make him give up everything in the court.
