Chapter 572: Ten Years Later
Yes, in ten years, the pheasant slave will be an adult! Ten years from now, what will the court look like? Ten years from now, how many important ministers will be left in the court? It must be old and old, and it will be dead, but what about Li Yong ten years later? Ten years later, Li Yong must be happier than now, Li Yong was originally in the position of the county prince, Li Yong, who made great contributions again in this Eastern Crusade, will definitely have a pivotal position in the army and in the court, it can be imagined that what kind of status Li Yong will have in the court ten years later, I am afraid that he is really one person under ten thousand people! At that time, the pheasant slave had also grown up and had a close relationship with Li Yong and Changle, would he covet the position of the East Palace? At that time, Li Yong will definitely choose to support the pheasant slave for the sake of his own future and future generations! There is another point, Li Chengqian also has to admit that Hou Junji is reasonable, most of the parents prefer young sons, although he and Li Tai are also very favored, but compared to the pheasant slave is still worse, because when he and Li Tai were young, the father and the queen mother were very busy, the father was busy with wars, busy with government affairs, and the queen mother was very busy as a virtuous helper, but the pheasant slave was different, when the pheasant slave was born, the father had ascended the throne as the emperor, and the four seas were peaceful, the father and the mother could have more time to raise the pheasant slave, thinking of this, Li Chengqian broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, he had never guarded against the pheasant slave, but he didn't expect the pheasant slave to be a threat hidden in the deepest depths, he thought that Li Yong disdained to participate in the battle for the storage position, but he didn't expect Li Yong to hide so deeply, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.
"Li Yong, this person is really insidious!"
Hou Junji sighed.
"Now although the important ministers of the court are all meritorious ministers of the dragon, they can check and balance each other, and when they are all old, the court will talk about merit, prestige and seniority, who can compete with Li Yong? Now His Royal Highness and King Wei are fighting back and forth, which will only make the saint annoyed, but King Wei has no turning back when he opens his bow, and it is impossible to give up the fight, so this is an unsolvable dead end!"
An unsolvable dead end? Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said.
"If you can't solve this dead end, then you will overturn this chessboard, so this palace is thinking about mutiny, but Guogong does not agree!"
Hou Junji listened to it and said in a deep voice.
"I just don't approve of the mutiny at this time, it's not that I don't approve of the mutiny!"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he could say such a thing, which showed that Hou Junji was really on his side, and from then on, Hou Junji became a person he could completely trust, Li Chengqian asked in a low voice.
"Then I don't know what the good plan of the Guogong is?"
Hou Junji groaned.
"Isn't a good policy a good example?"
Kill my brother! Kill your brother! Force your father to abdicate! This is the essence of the Xuanwumen Mutiny, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but take a long breath, this is much more exciting than the current mutiny! I don't know why, one of his hearts almost jumped out with excitement, and Li Chengqian nodded slowly.
"That's the only way to go, what does Guogong suggest?"
Hou Junji groaned.
"Your Highness, this is a good opportunity to arrange for the exclusion of dissidents!"
The two of them lowered their voices in the study and discussed secretly, outside the study, it was even quieter, and everyone else stayed more than ten zhang away, I don't know how long it took for Li Chengqian to come out of the study, with a spring breeze on his face, Li Jiazhuang, Li Tai broke into the county mansion in great strides.
"What about Sister Changle? I want to see Sister Changle! β
Li Tai shouted and rushed in, and the subordinates hurriedly reported inside, and when Li Tai came to the backyard door panting, Li Lizhi just came out with a maid.
"Why did the fourth brother come suddenly?"
Li Lizhi looked at the panting Li Tai and asked suspiciously.
"Sister, do you know? Although his father took Liaodong City, he did not want to retreat, but wanted to continue to march. β
Li Tai got straight to the point, and Li Lizhi nodded slightly.
"Oh, I know!"
Li Tai said excitedly.
"How can this work? The capture of Liaodong has already achieved the goal of rescuing Silla, and it has also taught Goguryeo a lesson, so he has all the face, so why bother to enter the army again? It's an adventure! Goguryeo is not muddy either? The reason why the army was able to conquer Liaodong so smoothly was because the elite army of Goguryeo had gone, and when the army of Goguryeo returned to the division, this battle would not be so easy to fight, of course, we would not be afraid of the Goguryeo army, but there was no need to take risks? Do you think I'm right? β
"How did the fourth brother tell me this? I don't understand these major events in the DPRK and China, and I don't understand it as a woman! β
Li Lizhi said calmly, and Li Tai hurriedly said.
"This is not just my opinion, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and other ministers in the DPRK and China want to jointly write to their father, wanting to persuade their father to withdraw from the army!"
Li Lizhi nodded slightly.
"That's good!"
Li Tai sighed.
"However, I think it is difficult for Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda to persuade their father to withdraw his troops, so I can only come to beg you if I think about it!"
Li Li asked in surprise.
"Please? You asked me to write to my father? Or do you want to beg me to find the queen mother? β
"I have already begged the queen mother, but the queen mother said that this is a military matter, and my father only has a plan in his heart, and she can't interfere in politics!"
Li Tai was very helpless, after knowing the news that the army had conquered Liaodong, he was very excited, not only because the army had won a big victory, but also because of the capture of Liaodong, the army would soon triumph, recently he always felt that the atmosphere in Chang'an was a little secretive, his father returned to Chang'an earlier, he could feel at ease, but his father wanted to continue to march into the army, he was anxious when he heard the news, although Wei Zheng and others wanted to join hands to write a book, but he didn't think that Wei Zheng and others could play a role, so what should I do? Of course it's Li Yong! Li Yong is in Liaodong, right next to his father, if Li Yong is willing to persuade his father to withdraw from the army, it will definitely succeed, so he can't wait to come to Sujiazhuang, and wants to ask Changle to come forward to write a letter to Li Yong, he knows how much Changle misses Li Yong, so he thinks that Changle will definitely listen to his letter to Li Yong, Li Li nodded and said.
"That's right! This is a militaristic matter, and I can't get involved in it. β
Li Tai said with a smile.
"I'm not asking you to get involved, I'm asking you to write a letter to Li Yong, explaining the benefits and disadvantages, and asking him to persuade his father to triumph, you don't want Li Yong to continue to take risks, right?"
This was said to Li Lizhen's heart, she couldn't wait for Li Yong to return to Chang'an immediately, but she knew that this was impossible, and as a wife, of course, she had to support her Lang Jun unconditionally, all she had to do was to guard her home and wait for Lang Jun to go home silently, Li Lizhen shook her head very calmly. Why did Changle keep shaking his head? Again, Li Tai felt that it was too easy to convince Changle, but he never thought that Changle had been shaking his head, why did he keep shaking his head? Li Tai asked suspiciously.
"Changle, don't you miss Li Yong? Don't you want Li Yong to return to Chang'an sooner? β
Changle nodded.
"Yes! Thinking about it all the time. β
"Then why are you ......?"
Li Tai suddenly realized something and asked suspiciously.
"Wait a minute, why do you look so calm?"
Li Tai suddenly reacted and asked.
"Changle, you wouldn't have known about it a long time ago, would you? You already knew that your father would continue to march after conquering Liaodong? β
Li Lizhi hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, Li Tai's head turned quickly, how could Changle have known about it a long time ago? Must Li Yong tell her? Did Li Yong write to Changle and say it, or did Li Yong know that his father had conquered Liaodong before he set out to continue to march into the army? Why? Obviously, the purpose of sending troops was to rescue Silla, so why continue to march when the goal has been achieved? And it was decided from the beginning of the army to continue to march into the army, which means that the purpose of the army is not actually to rescue Silla, the answer seems obvious, the purpose of the father is actually Goguryeo, and then think of what happened last winter, Li Tai seems to understand something.
"I understand, my father's purpose is not to rescue Silla at all, but to destroy Goguryeo, so if you say that, you have been preparing since last year, and Li Yong must have known it at that time, right?"
Li Tai said suddenly.
"Wait a while, I always thought it was a bit absurd for Li Yong and Yuan Gai Suwen to become friends, but now that I think about it, I understand, could all this be Li Yong's premeditation?"
Li Lizhen didn't shake his head, nor did he nod, he just looked at Li Tai quietly, and didn't deny it, that is, he acquiesced, Li Tai stroked his forehead and said.
"I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid!"
At this time, Li Tai regretted it very much in his heart, and he didn't know how long he would take to defeat Goguryeo! Doesn't that mean that Li Chengqian will always be in charge of the country? He now feels that Li Chengqian's actions are a bit secretive, frequently wooing the palace guards, and having close contacts with Hou Junji and others, as if he is planning something, if his father does not come back for a long time, it is not possible for Li Chengqian to make a coup d'Γ©tat, even if he does not make a coup, what kind of chaos will be made to assassinate him? If he had known that his father was the destruction of Goguryeo, then even if he cried and hugged his father's thigh and did not let go, he would definitely follow the Eastern Crusade! He finally understood why Changle was so calm now, because Changle would not write to Li Yong to persuade his father to return to the court in triumph, and it was impossible for his father to return to the court, Li Tai left in chagrin, Li Lizhi turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, although she looked very calm, but at that time Li Tai said that when she asked her to write a letter to Li Yong to persuade her father to return to the court, she almost blurted out in her heart that she was about to agree, because she really missed Li Yong too much, and wanted Li Yong to return to Chang'an immediately, but she knew that if she wrote to the past, it would only make Li Yong embarrassed, Now she can only look forward to Wei Zheng and other ministers in the court, can persuade her father and the emperor to return to the court, the backyard is full of flowers, butterflies flying, beautiful, plus the beauty is picturesque, it is even more beautiful than the most beautiful picture in the world, however, in the face of such a beautiful scenery, Wu Cao They are not very interested, in Li Yong left for such a long time, they really realized what is called the pillar of the family, after Li Yong left, I feel that no matter how beautiful the spring is bleak.
"Why did His Royal Highness King Wei suddenly come here?"
Wu Cao asked curiously, after Li Yong left, Li Jiazhuang has been in a state of closing the house and thanking guests, and he only has dealings with the family members of the Guogong Mansion, and they meet together to go to incense or something, even Li Tai rarely comes to Li Jiazhuang, after all, no one receives him.
"After the army captured Liaodong, it was necessary to continue to march into the army, and there was a lot of discussion in the court, Wei Zheng and other ministers who stayed in Chang'an wrote together to persuade my father and the emperor to return to the court, and the fourth brother wanted me to write a letter to Lang Jun, so that Lang Jun could also persuade the saint together!"
Li Lizhi explained, Lin Ruoxi and Luo Fengxiang's eyes lit up when they heard it, doesn't that mean that Li Yong will return to Chang'an soon? Wu Cao groaned.
"Sister wants to write a letter to my grandfather and ask my grandfather to advise the saint? Isn't that okay? The Eastern Crusade was planned by the grandfather, and it was also a long-cherished wish of the saint for many years, and my sister writing a letter would only make the grandfather embarrassed. β
Li Lizhi nodded slightly.
"I know, we can't get involved, of course these things are for Lang Jun to make his own decisions, how can there be a reason for our women's family to talk too much, as for Wei Zheng, the ministers of the court want to write a book to persuade them!"
Wu Cao shook his head slightly.
"It's useless, they couldn't stop the saint's crusade in front of the saint at the beginning, and now they are thousands of miles away, how can they persuade the saint?"
Lin Ruoxi and Luo Fengxiang were very disappointed when they heard this, they listened to the frequent reports of the army, and thought that Li Yong would return to Chang'an soon, but they didn't expect it to be early! Lin Ruoxi said with concern.
"Chang'an is in full bloom, and I don't know if Liaodong is still cold now."
Wu Cao said with relief.
"Of course, Liaodong is colder than Chang'an, but now it's spring after all, and it's not cold!"
Lin Ruoxi Road.
"I don't know how the Silla princess took care of her grandfather, speaking of which, a month has already passed, and I don't know if my grandfather has anyone to take care of now!"
"Don't worry! Even if there is no Silla princess to take care of, there will be soldiers around the grandfather to take care of his daily life! β
Wu Cao said with relief, although she misses Li Yong very much, she is not worried that Li Yong has no one to take care of her, no matter how Li Yong says it, he is also the county prince, and he is the chief general of the Shenji Battalion, so he will not have to take care of his own life, in fact, Li Lizhi also misses and worries in her heart, but she can't mess with herself, and nodded.
"Cao'er is right, there are guards to take care of it! We don't have to worry too much. β
Luo Fengxiang took a step forward and groaned.
"Princess, I'm bored in the house, I want to leave Chang'an for a walk, and visit my old friends by the way."
Lin Ruoxi listened and hurriedly said.
"Princess, I want to accompany Master."
Speaking of which, Luo Fengxiang is only nominally a teacher in the house, and she comes and goes freely, and Li Yong also promised that if Luo Fengxiang feels bored, she can leave Chang'an at will, so Li Lizhi can't find a reason to refuse Luo Fengxiang's request, however, she also knows Luo Fengxiang very well these days, and knows that Luo Fengxiang is a woman with affection and righteousness, and it is unlikely that she will leave the county mansion at this time to play.
