Chapter Eighty-Nine: Speculation

Li Shen walked up to Li Mingda, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and comforted: "Son, you have to believe in the eldest brother, everything will pass, you shouldn't worry about these things, the eldest brother hopes that you can live happily every day, instead of being disturbed by these complicated trivial matters, you know?" ”

"Big brother, but my son feels uncomfortable, why do they want to do this?" Li Mingda cried and snuggled in Li Shen's arms and said.

Li Shen exhaled deeply, reached out and patted her back, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, everything will return to its original trajectory." ”

"Will it?"

"Yes, it will, you have to believe the eldest brother, the eldest brother will never lie to you."

"Your Majesty, Duke E and Duke Lu are here." Gonggong Yang stood not far away and shouted in a low voice.

"Son, if the eldest brother still needs to deal with it, you will move here from today and live with your sister-in-law Haitang."

Li Mingda nodded slightly.

"Captain Chi Gong, Minister Cheng has seen Your Majesty."

Li Shen stepped into the apse, looked at the two who stood up, nodded slightly, and said, "Sit down." ”

"I don't know what His Majesty is calling the two ministers?" Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin.

Li Shen sat down and sat opposite them, staring at the two of them with his eyes tightly, for these two, Li Shen was really a little uneasy, Cheng Yanjin was a little better, but this Wei Chigong in front of him, he was really a little relieved.

"That...... Your Majesty, you... Why are you looking at me like this? You... If you have something to say, you can say it directly, looking at me like this, I feel cold hairs all over my body. Cheng Yanjin stammered.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, as long as you can use my place, you can just command." Wei Chigong said.

Li Shen smiled and cocked one leg, shook it, put one hand on the back of the sofa, and said, "You two are old men who have followed my father for many years, and relatively speaking, you two are also loyal to ...... father."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, I don't understand? You don't think that we know the whereabouts of the Emperor Taishang, and we will be the emperor's internal response, right? Cheng Yanjin interrupted Li Shen's words and hurriedly asked.

Looking at the silent Li Shen, Cheng Yanjin continued: "Your Majesty, the sky can learn from it!" We really don't, we really don't... It's really not an internal response! ”

Li Shen shook his head slightly and said, "Yes or no, I won't pursue your affairs." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? Or do you want me and Cheng Yanjin to do something? Wei Chigong asked.

"To be honest, I don't care whether you are your father's person or not, but I hope that you will see the face of the people and let Datang not mess up. Datang can have prestige now, and there are only a few of you who are not very old, so I ......"

"Your Majesty, you say directly, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Wei Chigong said.

"I hope that the Duke of E can guard the Yumen Pass, and the Duke of Lu can be Youzhou." Li Shen said.

"I'm guarding Youzhou? Your Majesty, why is that? Cheng Yanjin asked with a puzzled face.

"Your Majesty is worried that the Emperor Taishang will unite with Fanbang to besiege the Tang Dynasty?" Wei Chigong frowned and asked, and then said: "It seems that the Emperor Taishang will not do this, if the Emperor Taishang really does this, I am afraid that the prestige he has accumulated among the people will ......."

"There is nothing impossible, Datang wants to conquer it internally, I can say that it is difficult to do it, even if there are still people in various places who are henchmen of my father, but they can't shake me at all, this is what my father can understand, the only possibility is that he is likely to give it a go." Li Shen said lightly.

Li Shen has also been thinking about this problem these days, and he also knows that it is a little difficult to conquer him from within the Tang Dynasty, how to say that His Majesty Li Er wants to start a war, it is not a day or two to do, this time before he has enough strength, he believes that His Majesty Li Er will not start a war easily.

In a few months, Li Shen knew that he would definitely be able to quell the rumors in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, so that the people could love the current court more and support him more.

His Majesty Li Er will definitely consider this, then his only choice is Fanbang, get the support of Fanbang, promise Fanbang benefits, and only in this way can he have the ability to resist and stand in the same position, and only in this way can he live in the Central Plains again.

Li Shen didn't want to think like this, but everything happened, he had thought so much in the past few days, so he couldn't think about it in this way, otherwise he really couldn't think of any better way to let His Majesty Li Er have a way to deal with him in the current situation.

"Your Majesty, please also redeem the old minister for not being able to help Your Majesty, Your Majesty also knows the relationship between the old minister and the Emperor, and the Emperor is ...... to the minister."

"What the hell is going on with you?" Cheng Yanjin asked.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is very old, and the old minister implores His Majesty to allow the old minister to return to his hometown." Wei Chigong stood up and knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and said.

Li Shen smiled, looked at Wei Chigong, and said: "I am not begging you, but for the sake of the tens of millions of people living in the Tang Dynasty to have a stable life, I know that it is a little difficult for you to let you stand on the opposite side of your father, but I hope that if the situation I said occurs, you can abide by what you should do as a general." ”

Wei Chigong frowned and said, "The Emperor Taishang will not do this, if it is really as His Majesty said, the old minister will stop this kind of thing even if he is crawling." ”

Li Shen nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

"Is there anything else Your Majesty has to do?" Wei Chigong asked.

Li Shen shook his head slightly and said, "No." ”

"In that case, the old minister will retire first."

Li Shen nodded.

"That's... Your Majesty! Don't worry about the stinky old black, he can't accept this fact for a while, I hope you can understand him. Cheng Yanjin looked at the back of Yu Chigong leaving, and explained to Li Shen with an embarrassed face.

"I can still understand this." Li Shen said lightly, looked at Cheng Yanjin with a smile, and said, "What about you?" How to choose? ”

"What choice can I have Lao Cheng, I honestly don't want to help, but I can't watch the Tang Dynasty where I and my brothers have struggled for decades get into chaos, I can't watch the people fall into the deep fire, please trust me at this point." Cheng Yanjin replied helplessly.
