In the end, Li Deyi left the Yan family after condolences to the king of Guangyang.

After returning to the palace, Li Deyi remembered what happened in the Yan family, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy.

If he hadn't estimated the real power in the hands of King Guangyang now, he would have already cured King Guangyang for a crime of disrespect against the emperor's orders.

"Someone!"

After thinking about it, Li Deyi still suppressed the anger in his heart and immediately shouted.

The guards at the door heard His Majesty's shout and immediately walked into the imperial study.

"You go out of the palace immediately and go to the Seven Princes' Mansion now, so that he can enter the palace to face the saint!"

"Yes!"

The guard responded respectfully, and then exited the study.

Time flies, and the time comes quickly.

A carriage slowly stopped in front of Xuande Gate, and among the carriages was Li Chengwen.

In addition to Li Chengwen, Chu Mo was also impressively on the carriage.

"Chu Mo, did you say that my father suddenly summoned me this time?"

Li Chengwen didn't know anything about what happened in the Jinluan Palace today, and now he was already the crown prince, and he was not allowed to enter the palace at will on weekdays without Li Deyi's summons.

When he received the decree in the palace, he was still very surprised.

"You must have heard about Zhongzhou, right? If it is not surprising, your father should have summoned you for this purpose. ”

Chu Mo said lightly.

"What does the matter in Zhongzhou have to do with me? Isn't there the King of Guangyang and the Feng Annihilation Army in Zhongzhou? With the strength of Western Chu, it shouldn't pose much of a threat to Zhongzhou, right? ”

Li Chengwen said with a frown.

"If it had been, it wouldn't have been. But that's no longer the case! You should also know about the return of King Guangyang to Beijing, but what you don't know is that because of Yan Qing's death, King Guangyang returned to Beijing this time and took away half of the Feng Annihilation Army. ”

Chu Mo said lightly.

"What! And such a thing? Then why didn't my father stop it? ”

Li Chengwen was surprised.

"Who knows. Alright, the time has come, go in first, I'll wait for you here. ”

Chu Mo didn't want to explain so much, did he want to say that it was part of his plan for Zhongzhou to become the situation it is today? Its purpose is to want Zhongzhou to fall into a crisis and pave the way for him to inherit the unification in the future?

Li Chengwen nodded, jumped out of the carriage directly, came to the Xuande Gate, held the prince's gold medal, and then entered the palace under the leadership of the guards at the gate.

At this time, the Imperial Study.

Li Deyi has been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has arrived."

Lees' voice came from outside the Imperial Study.

"Xuan!"

Not long after, under the leadership of Li Si, Li Chengwen came to the imperial study.

"Sons see their father, long live their father, long live long live their father!"

Li Chengwen saluted respectfully.

"Get up."

Li Deyi put down his hand and said lightly.

When Li Chengwen heard this, he immediately stood up slowly and lowered his hands to listen.

Li Deyi's eyes looked Li Chengwen up and down, and only after a while did he speak: "Old Seven, do you know what I asked you to enter the palace this time?" ”

Li Chengwen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Presumably, my father should have summoned his sons because of the affairs in Zhongzhou." ”

"Well, that's good! Since you also know about this, you might as well tell me what you think about the changes in Zhongzhou. ”

Li Chengwen pondered for a moment, recalling the situation that Chu Mo told him in his mind, and then said: "Father Qi, Western Chu has always been eyeing my Dawu Dynasty, and this time the King of Guangyang suddenly led tens of thousands of phoenix annihilation troops to return to the dynasty, which is undoubtedly not a great opportunity for the Western Chu army to conquer Zhongzhou." ”

"As far as Erchen knows, there are 100,000 people in the Western Chu army hoarded in the border of Zhongzhou, and the Chu army is already known as the land lion, only with the remaining Feng Annihilation Army in Zhongzhou now, even if they can resist the enemy army for a while, but if they want to hold Zhongzhou, I am afraid it is not easy."

Li Chengwen expressed his opinion, and Li Deyi also nodded frequently after hearing it, and he also thought a little more highly of Li Chengwen in his heart.

"That's right. In addition, the King of Guangyang is not in Zhongzhou, and the morale of the entire Zhongzhou will inevitably be sluggish when the dragons are leaderless, and this is the reason why I summoned you today! ”

Li Deyi's tone became serious.

"Please also ask my father to make it clear!"

Li Chengwen hurriedly bowed and said.

"I have already gone to the King of Guangyang, and I can see that the King of Guangyang has a grudge against the death of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and he returns to Zhongzhou under the pretext of solving the problem for the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and now the soldiers of Zhongzhou have no leader, I hope that you can represent the court and lead the army to Zhongzhou as the new commander!"

"Of course, it would be great if you could incorporate the soldiers of Zhongzhou under your command!"

Because of King Guangyang's current attitude, this has further stimulated Li Deyi's heart to slowly divide the power in King Guangyang's hands.

And this time, Li Deyi was willing to accept Fu Wenxue's proposal to let Li Chengwen go to Zhongzhou, one of his purposes was indeed to defend against the enemy, but at the same time as resisting the enemy, Li Deyi hoped that Li Chengwen could take over Zhongzhou.

But after hearing Li Deyi's words, Li Chengwen frowned.

Let yourself go to Zhongzhou as the new commander and lead the army to resist the Western Chu army. This is naturally not a problem for him, but while his father makes himself defend against the enemy, he can also absorb the remaining Feng Annihilation Army in Zhongzhou, which is difficult for some strongmen.

The 200,000 phoenix annihilation army has followed the king of Guangyang to sit in Zhongzhou for decades, and the respect of these phoenix annihilation troops for the king of Guangyang seems to have been loyal to the imperial court, and even to say something unpleasant, these 200,000 phoenix annihilation army is afraid that in addition to the king of Guangyang, even Li Deyi, the son of heaven, cannot order them to act.

Moreover, although the King of Guangyang is now in Kyoto, there must be a henchman of the King of Guangyang on the side of Zhongzhou, once the King of Guangyang learns the purpose of the imperial court, where can he still care about the future affairs of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, I am afraid that he will return to Zhongzhou as soon as possible.

"Emperor, although this matter is difficult, it is man-made. But the ultimate purpose of ordering you to be the new commander is to ensure the safety of the Zhongzhou side. ”

"General Gu has received a secret order from me a few days ago, and led an army of 50,000 to Zhongzhou, and after you go to Zhongzhou, General Gu's 50,000 troops are available for you to send at will. Does the emperor have any other requirements? ”

When Li Chengwen heard this, he was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at Li Deyi and said, "Father, there is only one request for the son-in-law." ”

"Say, as long as I can satisfy, I will promise you!"

"On this trip to Zhongzhou, Erchen hopes that the prince of Beiliang can go with the emperor!"

Hearing Li Chengwen's words, Li Deyi was stunned, and then he realized that he instantly understood Li Chengwen's intentions.

It seems that he, the emperor, should also know some of the inside stories of Yan Qing's assassination, and the reason why he would make such a request is just to take advantage of this trip to Zhongzhou to take Chu Mo away, so that King Guangyang will not find a chance to attack Chu Mo.

Li Deyi finally nodded after pondering for a moment.

"I promise you!"
