When Li You heard this, his head grew again, and he said in his heart: "The affairs of the imperial court are really troublesome, and it is not easy to be a foodie in peace." He said, "Got it." ”

He was in a bad mood and said, "Third brother, you came just in time, accompany me to eat." As he spoke, he shouted outside, "Magpie, let someone bring some dessert." ”

East Palace.

Li Chengqian finished dinner and was about to go to the back house to visit Princess Su and her son Li Xiang. The chamberlain came in to report that the eldest grandson Wuji was coming, so he went to the guest room to greet him.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Chengqian and said, "Please come with Master Zhang." I have important things to say. ”

After a while, Zhang Xuansu also came.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Something big is going to happen, I don't know who it is, the news of Li Jingjun's report leaked out, the imperial historians want to impeach the king of Yiyang, and the families of the Western Expeditionary Army will gather in front of the Suzaku Gate tomorrow morning to denounce Li You, the king of Yiyang." ”

Li Chengqian said angrily; "This matter must have been spread by Li Tai or Li Ke, and Li Tai is the most likely. These people are really excessive, and they also make a fuss about military affairs!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to investigate the responsibility, we must find a way to solve tomorrow's troubles." ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "Yes, these things are ostensibly aimed at His Royal Highness the King of Yiyang, but in fact, the target is You, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian regretted a little at this moment, he shouldn't have gotten too close to Li You. He said in his heart: "The fifth brother used to have a lot of right and wrong, and his unstingy personality may not cause much trouble in the future." ”

He asked, "Uncle, master, what do you think about this?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "This matter is aimed at you, so you can't back down, and you must help King Yiyang as much as possible." If King Yiyang is punished for this, it will also affect Your Highness's reputation. ”

Zhang Xuansu pondered there and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing him like this, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that he might have other ideas, so he also fell silent and deliberated on his own countermeasures.

Finally, Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, this matter may be a good thing. ”

Li Chengqian asked, "Master, tell me about it." ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "What the minister means is that His Royal Highness the King of Yiyang will carry the black pot in this matter." ”

Li Chengqian said puzzledly: "It's not appropriate to do this, right? This was originally Hou Junji's idea, and at that time, his father and everyone agreed, how could he blame the fifth brother? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was thoughtful and said, "Master Zhang, please tell me in detail." ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "The most pressure on the crown prince is the king of Wei and the king of Shu, if they can leave Chang'an, they can be exempted from the threat of His Royal Highness the prince."

Now that they are adults, they should go to the fiefdom to become a vassal. However, His Majesty did not mean this when he thought of family affection.

If the King of Yiyang can be punished this time, let him take the lead in leaving Chang'an, and let the King of Wei and the King of Shu leave, there will be a good reason. Even if Your Majesty is unwilling, let's contact the courtiers to put pressure on Your Majesty, and with the example of King Yiyang, Your Majesty has no reason to leave them anymore. ”

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, with some expectation and some hesitation. Li Ke and Li Tai pressed him step by step, and his pressure was too great. But let Li You carry the black pot for no reason, his conscience is still a little uneasy. He said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Master Zhang is really a good idea. Your Highness, you don't have to worry about King Yiyang, he has a bad reputation in Chang'an, and his temperament is not stingy, staying in Chang'an is easy to get into trouble, if he can leave Chang'an, it is not necessarily a bad thing for him.

I know that His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, you can sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, and you can take care of the king of Yiyang in the future, right?! ”

Zhang Xuansu saw that Li Chengqian was still a little hesitant, and said: "Your Highness, those who achieve great things are not informal. What's more, King Yiyang left Chang'an and stayed away from the land of right and wrong, which was really a good thing for him. ”

Li Chengqian thought about it for a moment and finally nodded.

Zhang Xuansu said: "In this matter, I still need the help of the queen mother, after all, His Royal Highness King Wei is also the biological flesh and blood of the mother, so I am afraid that she will be hindered there." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is a little difficult to do. However, the queen mother is a reasonable person, and in order to avoid cannibalism, she will figure it out. I'll do her work there myself. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "That's it, the King of Yiyang was impeached, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out to make a gesture, pretending to protect him, let's secretly add fuel to the fire and force the King of Yiyang to leave Chang'an." ”

"Okay, just do it." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Shu Wangfu.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, said: "I don't know who leaked the news, and there is a lot of rumor in Chang'an City." Now, I'm afraid the fifth brother is in trouble. ”

Changshi Quan Wanji said: "Your Highness, there is no need to guess this matter, it must be His Royal Highness the King of Wei's problem." However, it is also an opportunity. You can also see the steamed buns in the court last time, His Royal Highness King Yiyang is now close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and has become his helper. If you can use Tuyuhun to attack King Yiyang, it will be equivalent to hitting His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Li Ke is a decisive person, he said: "Okay, let's add fuel to the fire and target the King of Yiyang." ”

Quan Wanji said: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister will go and inform our people." ”

Wei Wangfu.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, was a little puzzled, although he hated Li You. However, Li Shimin repeatedly stressed that Tuyuhun's affairs should be kept secret, and he really did not dare to leak secrets. In case of causing turmoil in the government and the opposition, Li Shimin will pursue it, but it is not a joke.

He asked, "You say, who leaked this news?" ”

Changshi Wang Cong said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yiyang should not, and the possibility of others is also very small. The most likely thing for the minister is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, after all, in order to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he should do this. ”

Yan Liben said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to discuss who leaked the news, what are you going to do tomorrow?" ”

Li Tai said: "This is a good opportunity, since the King of Shu wants to do this, let's also push it and see how the prince copes." ”

Yan Liben nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." The minister will contact the minister tonight, you can arrange the imperial history, or it is better for them to come forward first. ”

Li You knew that there would be trouble tomorrow, but he didn't know that the storm would be so violent. He had a big heart, ate some sweets, and went to sleep.

In addition, Cheng Chuliang and others hurried day and night along the route of Hou Junji's army, and in the early morning of the next day, they saw several Tang army messengers rushing from a distance.

When the messenger saw Cheng Chuliang, he shouted loudly from afar: "Captain Cheng, great victory!"

Cheng Chuliang was overjoyed and hit the horse to meet him.

The messenger was dusty, but his face was full of excitement, he gasped and said: "Captain Cheng, go and report to the general, a great victory!" ”
