In the East Palace of the Prince, Liu Xun in the service, Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Zhongcen text of the Ministry of Examination and Merit Silang gathered in the East Palace of the Prince one after another. The left servant of the Tang Dynasty shot and the secretary of the ministry studied Fang Xuanling, and the right servant of the Tang Dynasty shot and the secretary of the criminal department Du Ruhui did not arrive because they were unwell.

The Tang Dynasty supervised the country, and the crown prince Li Chengqian also hurriedly got dressed and rushed to the hall of the meeting.

Seeing the arrival of Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison state, all the ministers bowed down and saluted, and soon Su Dingfang was summoned to the hall by Li Chengqian.

Su Ding reported to the crown prince Cheng Qianyu: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Turks lost their strength and led an army of 20,000 to suddenly attack our Tang Dynasty Mayi, and Zhang Shigui, who was too guarded by Mayi, sent an urgent report to the general of the auxiliary state. The general judged that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty might be in Mayi City. The general didn't dare to act rashly, so he sent a young general to Chang'an City to report the news, asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the adults to decide, what should be done next? ”

Prince Chengqian's expression changed greatly, and he asked anxiously: "Is my father really in Mayi City?" ”

Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, replied: "According to the calculation of Your Majesty's itinerary, Your Majesty should be in Mayi City, and Your Majesty has always been in contact with our imperial court, but a few days ago, this connection was suddenly broken, and the place where the connection was cut off was in Mayi. ”

Prince Chengqian's face changed greatly, he was frightened, and he didn't know what to do.

Liu Xun hurriedly comforted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, it's just speculation at the moment, maybe Your Majesty's auspicious nature is not in Mayi City." ”

Prince Chengqian asked again: "Could it be that this meeting alliance is really a trap set by Jielibu?" The purpose is to capture and kill the emperor. Before he reached the grassland, Jieli couldn't wait to make a move, and surrounded Ma Yi with an army of 20,000 and surrounded his father. ”

Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, showed a sad look on his face and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that this is the case nine times out of ten." Your Majesty is too careless, and the minister has long persuaded the emperor that the Turkic Jieli Khan is cunning. My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty don't take this risk, but Your Majesty just won't listen! Hey, it's too late to say anything! ”

After thinking about it, Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister doesn't think it's like it. If this is really a trap, if the Turks really knew the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan would definitely send heavy troops to attack Mayi at all costs and capture His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but now there are only 20,000 people besieging Mayi under the command of the stubborn and powerful commander. What does this mean? It shows that Jieli and they don't know that my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is in Mayi City. They are by mistake, trapped my Tang Emperor His Majesty in the city of Mayi, and it is not right to choose the location of Mayi, if the minister is the Turkic Jieli Khan, set up a trap for Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan to invite my Tang Emperor His Majesty to form an alliance in the grassland, the minister will definitely not surround His Majesty the Tang Emperor in Mayi, Mayi has his back to my Datang, and I have more than 200,000 Tang border troops to rely on, so it will be a lifetime of twists and turns. If the minister is a Turkic Jieli Khan. I will inevitably wait patiently until His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has completely penetrated into the grassland and completely entered the trap before encircling it in one fell swoop, and I will definitely not choose to be surrounded in Mayi. ”

Wei Zheng's words. It made perfect sense, and all the ministers in the hall nodded their heads.

As if he had found the backbone of the main body all of a sudden, the prince asked Wei Zheng, "Lord Wei, what do you think you should do now?" ”

Wei Zheng said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prison State." I think that I, Datang, have to do two things well now. One thing is to confirm whether His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is in Mayi City; The second thing was to ask Li Jing, the auxiliary general who commanded the left and right Xiaowei armies, to rush to the aid of Ma Yi. ”

Prince Chengqian nodded, and hurriedly asked Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the military department: "Lu Shangshu, do you think that the left and right Xiaowei armies led by Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, can defeat the 20,000 troops led by Zhi Sili. Save your father? ”

After thinking about it, Lu Chengqing replied: "Returning to His Royal Highness, it is not difficult for the two guards army led by Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to defeat the two guards army led by Zhi Zhi Sili and save His Majesty the Tang Emperor. But if the army led by the auxiliary general Li Jing moves, the army led by the Turkic Jieli Khan will inevitably make some moves. When the time comes, the army of the general of the auxiliary country will inevitably form a confrontation with the Turkic army under the city of Mayi, and when the confrontation occurs, the troops led by the Turkic Jieli Khan must be several times the number of troops led by Li Jing, the general of my auxiliary state, and this is also very likely to expose the whereabouts of His Majesty the Tang Emperor in Mayi. In this way, the situation will inevitably be more complicated, and it will be more unfavorable to my Datang. The minister speculated that this may also be the reason why the general of the auxiliary state could not make a choice and returned to His Royal Highness the prison to report to the siege of Mayi. ”

After thinking for a while, the crown prince Chengqian said: "Then I will personally lead the Ten Guards army stationed in the capital to gallop to the aid of Ma Yi and the two guards army led by Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, and take advantage of the fact that the Turkic Jieli Khan has not yet increased his troops in a big way, and return my father and the emperor in one fell swoop." ”

Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said with emotion: "His Royal Highness is really a benevolent and filial person!" ”

Other important ministers also recognized the decision of the crown prince Chengqian, and praised the prince Chengqian's benevolence and filial piety in unison.

Seeing that the ministers were unanimous, Prince Chengqian asked Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to issue an edict to send troops to the country.

Soon, the crown prince Chengqian hurried to the Lizheng Palace to bid farewell to his mother, the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty.

When Empress Changsun heard the news that her husband was surrounded by Turks in Mayi, she almost fainted in horror. However, she was the one who had gone through a lot of major events, so she quickly stabilized her mind and asked her son, the crown prince Chengqian, not to act rashly, but to ask the chief eunuch Wang Fugui to summon the Duke of Lu Guogong and the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, Hou Junji.

Hou Junji is a confidant of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also an important minister personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to lead the army of the left and right Qianniuwei and guard the palace before leaving. Empress Changsun is very trusting, and Empress Changsun knows that His Majesty the Tang Emperor appointed Hou Junji to take charge of the left and right Qianniuwei armies and guard the palace with his own considerations. Prince Chengqian and Hou Junji's daughter Hou Haitang childhood sweetheart, two little unsuspecting couples, Tang Emperor Li Shimin is also very willing to see the two of them dating, and promised that as long as the two are of the right age, Hou Haitang will become the crown princess of Prince Chengqian. This Hou Junji is the quasi-father-in-law of the prince Chengqian, which can be said to be connected and closely related. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty appointed Hou Junji to guard the palace this time, because he thought that Hou Junji would definitely be loyal to the crown prince Chengqian and protect the prince Chengqian.

Now Empress Changsun's husband, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and her elder brother Changsun Wuji are not in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so her most trusted minister now is Hou Junji, and she feels that Hou Junji will definitely do his best to help the prince Chengqian and give advice to the prince Chengqian.
