Man is a very strange creature, when there is an external enemy, it may be consistent with the external enemy, but when there is no external enemy, it will turn into internal friction.

Countless historical materials record that in the 5,000-year history of China, various events that consumed national strength due to internal strife and eventually led to the destruction of the country.

Therefore, after Datang is no longer invincible, Li Chengqian must find an enemy again, a 'bone' that Datang can use to grind his teeth, so as not to fall into endless infighting.

Tianzhu and Byzantium are all very good opponents, and they are also the 'bones' that Li Chengqian chose for the Tang Dynasty, and they will replace Goguryeo and become the tools used by the lion of the Tang Dynasty to grind his teeth.

"Your Highness, it's the fourth watch!" Just when Li Chengqian was slightly stunned and a little sad, Yang Yuxin gently pushed the door and walked in.

Looking at the little girl's bloodshot eyes, Li Chengqian knew that this girl must have been staying outside just now and did not leave, so he sighed and said, "Why are you all so stubborn, if you continue like this, I'm afraid I will have to change the adjutant in advance." ”

"Your Highness......" Yang Yuxin thought that Li Chengqian had plans to replace her, her face turned white in an instant, and a layer of ripples appeared in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, stop. What I'm saying is that if you continue like this, you will die suddenly due to lack of sleep, don't always be suspicious, I really can't stand you. ”

Li Chengqian was taken aback by the little girl's behavior, according to the experience he got from Cheng Xiaosi, he knew that his ability to coax the girl was definitely minus, if he really made Yang Yuxin cry, it would never be able to coax her for a while, and he had to stop her before she cried.

Yang Yuxin just wants to be able to follow Li Chengqian, where does it matter if she dies suddenly or not, whether she has been in contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so long, even if it is because of her brother in the Wa Kingdom, she will not leave Li Chengqian's side.

So after listening to Li Chengqian's slightly nervous explanation, a big smile bloomed: "Your Highness, the minister is about to be scared to death by you." ”

"It's you who are about to scare this palace to death, warn you, don't cry in front of your Royal Highness in the future, otherwise I'll beat your ass." There was no one around, and Li Chengqian was a lot more casual in the quiet room, otherwise he wouldn't have said the word 'ass' in front of a girl anyway.

Yang Yuxin's face turned slightly red when Li Chengqian said it, and she lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, you, you better rest for a while, you have to go to the court at dawn." ”

"Okay, it seems that if I don't rest for a while, you won't let me go, okay, then sleep for a while, remember to call me when the time comes." Li Chengqian also felt that what he said just now was a little frivolous, smiled awkwardly, got up and walked to the bedroom in the study.

Only Li Chengqian and his four wives live in the huge East Palace, and there are many idle places, so there is also a room for rest in his study.

"Yes!" Yang Yuxin obediently agreed, accompanied Li Chengqian into the bedroom, and when he lay down, he blew out the candle and hid into the darkness.

One hour, two hours in the afterlife, such a little time is simply not enough for Li Chengqian, who is only seventeen years old.

But there is no way, since the old man asks him to go to the court, then he can only go to the court, this is the father's order cannot be violated, the king's order cannot be violated.

So the sluggish Royal Highness the Crown Prince once again spent a groggy morning in the court, until Li Xiaogong patted him on the shoulder and woke him up from his dream.

"Cheng Qian, it's not that Uncle said you, this young man must know how to be temperate, and nothing can be excessive!" Facing the sleepy-eyed Li Chengqian, Li Xiaogong said.

Well? What moderation? What is excessive? What does it mean? Li Chengqian, who gently wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looked at the King of Hejian with a wicked smile on his face suspiciously, and didn't understand what he meant for a while.

But soon, Li Chengqian, who had received an excellent education in later generations, reacted to what this old man was talking about, and a lazy donkey rolled up from the ground, glaring at the old guy and hating to bite him to death.

"Alas, young man, he just doesn't listen to persuasion." As a result, Li Xiaogong didn't look like an uncle at all, and in the face of Li Chengqian, who was glaring angrily, he shook his head shamelessly to express his disappointment.

In the face of such a shameless person, what can Li Chengqian say? You can't say you didn't have that in front of a bunch of old guys, right? The old goods are not ashamed, he still feels panicked at this young age!

"Uncle Wang, what do you want to say? I'll be gone if it's okay! Li Chengqian showed an impatient look and turned around to leave.

"Hey, don't go, Uncle still hasn't said anything serious." Finding that Li Chengqian seemed to be really annoyed, Li Xiaogong hurriedly put on a smiling face: "In a while, the box on the second floor of the Welcome Building, my uncle and your father-in-law are waiting for you there, don't forget to come." ”

"What's the matter? Didn't I say last time that you can also participate in land exchange? Li Chengqian didn't know what kind of medicine his Uncle Wang's gourd was selling, so he naturally didn't dare to agree easily.

Although he was in a hurry to discuss the matter of borrowing people from these old fellows, he did not plan to meet with these old foxes until he was fully prepared.

As a result, Li Xiaogong pouted, stared at him up and down with contemptuous eyes for a long time, snorted and said: "It's easy to say, you agreed to touch your upper lip and lower lip, but you kid don't want to think about it, can you do the count if you agree?" What about your father? ”

"What do you mean?" Li Chengqian blinked innocently: "The battle report of Goguryeo has not been transmitted back yet, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"It's too late to pass it back!" Li Xiaogong's tone was full of disdain, as if he was blaming Li Chengqian for realizing it later, but fortunately, now he has a request for help, and the 'rotten wood that cannot be carved' rushed to his mouth was swallowed back in time.

Too late? Li Chengqian's pupils shrank slightly.

It can make so many nobles in the DPRK think that it is too late, it means that something big must have happened recently, and it is likely that there are some actions on the side of the five surnames and seven wangs and the major families, otherwise it is impossible for these nobles to express their feelings with 'too late' anyway.

"Remember, it's not time to go!" Just when Li Chengqian pondered the meaning of the words of the king of Hejian County, Li Xiaogong told him again, and then patted his ass and left.

A group of shameless old guys, they didn't even say who invited them to let Lao Tzu go, is it really stupid to be Lao Tzu? If you want Lao Tzu to do things, you still want Lao Tzu to pay for it, there are really so many cheap things in the world! Li Chengqian looked at the distant back of the king of Hejian County, and secretly calculated in his heart.

But he really has to go to this matter today, it's rare that the old guys will have something to ask him, and he can take this opportunity to solve the problem of the lack of people on Changle's side, otherwise it will be a bunch of conditions to find them next time.
