When Xu Wenqiang, Du Yuesheng and Feng Jingyao left, Li Hong was chatting with Wei Chixunyan and Cheng Dazhi in the study. ←，

"Your Highness, to deal with Li Ji and Confucius, do we Yu Linwei really not have to make a move?" Wei Chi Xunyan asked, he really couldn't figure it out, Yu Linwei was enough to deal with Confucianism and his strength unconsciously, why did the prince let the Qinggang Xu Wenqiang, Du Yuesheng, and Feng Jingyao make a big fight?

"You all have doubts, don't you? Why do we have the ability to get rid of Confucianism unconsciously, why do we need to let Xu Wenqiang and his Green Gang come out? Li Hong asked with a smile.

Wei Chixunyan and Cheng Dazhi nodded slightly.

"Because Lone has to deal with Li Ji." Li Hong stated his purpose.

"Dealing with Li Ji?" Cheng Dazhi asked puzzledly, "Just use Xu Wenqiang and his Green Gang?" It doesn't seem like enough. ”

"Does Your Highness have any clever plan?" Wei Chi Xunyan also asked.

"Nope. Lone didn't deal with Li Ji now, but planted a time bomb, and when he dealt with Li Ji after a while, he could dig out this bomb. Li Hong said solemnly, "Li Ji is an old fox, good at protecting himself, if we play cards according to common sense, it will be difficult for us to deal with him, so we can only use such unexpected methods and means." ”

Wei Chi Xunyan and Cheng Dazhi were still very confused, because the prince didn't say anything at all. But the two of them didn't mean to ask Li Hong, because the prince didn't want to say, how could they ask as courtiers?

"Lone is going to leave Luoyang in a few days, and everything in Luoyang City will be handed over to you." Li Hong said to Wei Chi Xunyan and Cheng Dazhi.

"Is Your Highness in a hurry to leave because of the war in the northwest?" Cheng Dazhi asked.

"Yes. Tubo is unwilling to be annexed by the Tang Dynasty, wants to unite the Western Turks, and the cannibals want to rise up to resist, this time the Tang Dynasty conquered Tubo, has gone from the previous victory to the point of uncertainty, Lone can no longer stay in Luoyang City, he has to go back to Chang'an City immediately to make deployments, the conquest of Tubo is Lone's plan, which cannot be changed, and there can be no mistakes. Li Hong said categorically, it can be seen how resolute his attitude is, because Li Hong wants to deal with Li Ji, the first step is to control the military power in the northwest by conquering Tubo, establish prestige in the army, and then crush Li Ji in one fell swoop with the momentum of a big victory, so that Li Ji can not participate in the command of the decisive battle in Liaodong and let him command this big war himself, as long as he destroys Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje again, no matter who Li Ji is, Li Hong will no longer be afraid of him, and then Li Hong just wants to kill Li Ji, and it is estimated that not many people will dare to object.

Because, at that time, Li Hong will become the first person in the Tang Dynasty military, and with Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang supporting him, who would dare to do anything with him.

Of course, as Li Hong's power increased, he could not help but consider Gaozong's feelings.

However, with the constraint of Empress Wu, Li Hong believed that as long as he didn't go too far, Gaozong would not have any suspicion and dissatisfaction with him in order to contain Empress Wu.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we know what to do, and we will not disappoint Your Highness." Wei Chi Xunyan and Cheng Dazhi said.

The prince was able to hand over such a big matter to the two of them, and Wei Chi Xunyan and Cheng Dazhi also felt a lot of pressure, but from the other side, it also reflected the prince's trust and respect for them, and the two of them also felt very excited and motivated.

"You are alone, don't worry." Li Hong smiled and didn't say anything more.

Wei Chi Xunyan and Cheng Dazhi knew that the prince still had something to deal with, so they took their leave and left.

The next day, Li Hong went to see Gaozong and said that the Tang Dynasty was about to conquer Tibet, and it was not good for him to stay in Luoyang, so he had to go to Chang'an to make arrangements so that the expedition to Tibet could be successfully completed. Gaozong naturally has no opinion, Gaozong very much hopes that Li Hong can destroy Tubo before he seals Taishan Zen, which will add a lot of glory to his Zen.

"Hong'er, are you going back to Chang'an so soon?" Gaozong said a little reluctantly.

Indeed, as the successor of the empire he valued, Li Hong had never disappointed Gaozong, and now Gaozong also relied on Li Hong, so he naturally had a feeling of reluctance in his heart.

"Father, as the crown prince, the son has a lot of things to deal with, so he can't be filial piety by your side, this is the son's no, and I ask my father to punish the crime." Li Hong said in a choked tone.

"You are doing this for the sake of Datang, for the sake of our Li family's Jiangshan Sheji, I know, I understand you very well, you can go with confidence!" Gaozong also sighed.

The conversation between the father and son made the Empress Wu on the side very angry, what are you doing here? Do you think it's appropriate to perform father-son love in front of yourself? Empress Wu was in a good mood, because he successfully and completely subdued Li Ji, so even though she was very angry, she didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked lightly, "Prince, have you decided when to go to Chang'an?" ”

"If you return to your mother, your son will probably leave the day after tomorrow." Li Hong replied.

"You are the crown prince, you have the important responsibility of supervising the country, after you arrive in Chang'an, you must be cautious in handling everything, you must not be frivolous, and there is a big war against Tubo, you must be careful, remember not to be greedy for merit, so as not to cause mistakes." Empress Wu sternly reprimanded Li Hongdao.

"The son knows, thank you for the teachings of the queen mother." Li Hong felt uncomfortable, but his face was still very respectful.

This is what Empress Wu wants, after saying Li Hong, she feels that her heart is much smoother, and she is not as panicked as when Gaozong and Li Hong performed the relationship between father and son before.

"If there is nothing to do with the father and the queen mother, the son will leave." Li Hong said to Gaozong and Empress Wu.

Gaozong and Empress Wu nodded slightly, and Li Hong withdrew from the main hall.

Out of the main hall, Li Hong met Li Ji on the way out of the palace, Li Ji saw him, just snorted coldly, no salute, for Li Hong, Li Ji is despising the prince, should be punished, but Li Hong did not make a fuss, just walked calmly past Li Ji.

For the current Li Ji, Li Hong is not afraid of him at all, because since Li Ji has returned to the Empress Wu, Li Hong has come up with a lot of ways to rectify him, and the reason why he has not implemented it is because he wants to beat Li Ji to death with a stick, not like just tickling Li Ji.

Back at his house, Li Hong met Liu Qingqing once.

Liu Qingqing's face was a lot haggard, but she was very happy when she saw Li Hong, whether it was pretending or expressing her true feelings in her heart, Liu Qingqing's attitude made Li Hong very satisfied.

"You clean up, we will leave for Chang'an City the day after tomorrow." Li Hong said to Liu Qingqing.

"Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?" Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Yes." Li Hong said, "If you don't want to go back to Chang'an, you can live in this mansion in the future, and I won't force you." ”

"Nope! I want to go back to Chang'an City with Your Highness. Liu Qingqing said in a resolute tone. Li Hong nodded slightly, and left in a hurry, he didn't have time to ink with Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing looked at Li Hongyuan's back, and a touch of perseverance flashed in his eyes.
