Murong Xue and Shen Lie understood what the prince meant, and nodded at the same time.

I only heard Li Bing continue: "The reason why Li Chenglin chose to wait and see now is because he still has room to wait and see. Whether it is our order or Li Kui's secret envoy, he can continue to push to Yizhou until the day when the situation is clear. But Hongu can't wait, can't wait for a day! ”

"What does Your Highness mean......" Murong Xue asked tentatively, "Let's just make the situation completely clear, so that Yizhou and Li Chenglin have no room to waver?" ”

Li Bingyi slapped the table: "That's right, force those bastards!" The palace once said that if you don't take the eastern capital, you will never ascend the throne. Now that Luoyi has entered the hands of the palace, it is time to inherit the throne and give an explanation to the first emperor! ”

Shen Lie had already sensed at this time that something was wrong with the prince today, it was an indescribable state that intertwined emotions such as depression, resentment, and excitement, almost a little crazy.

Murong Xue was more familiar with Li Bing than Shen Lie, and of course he saw the problem, but he did not intend to dissuade the crown prince, because the current situation was unfavorable, and a profound change was indeed needed to break the deadlock.

He followed Li Bing's meaning and said, "Your Highness is wise! When you become the emperor, you are the will of the people and the expectations of the people, and the soldiers of the whole army will also be inspired. ”

Li Bing nodded happily, and immediately looked at Shen Lie on the side. Shen Lie's mind was shrewd and lively, and when he saw this, he arched his hand and said: "The minister also agrees that His Royal Highness will ascend the throne as soon as possible and fulfill the last wish of the first emperor." ”

"Good! That's it! Hahaha......" Li Bing stood up and paced back and forth excitedly: "This palace ascended the throne, announced to the world, and then directly issued an edict to Yizhou and Li Chenglin in the name of the emperor!" I'd like to see if they have the courage to resist! ”

Shen Lie really wanted to ask, if the Yizhou court and the king of Anping County really didn't follow the order, then what should it do? Are you planning to send troops to fight them?

However, when the words came to his lips, he held back and looked at Murong Xue a little helplessly.

Murong Xue's eyes were also full of worry. The situation in the world is very different now than it was more than a year ago. At that time, the imperial capital had just fallen, the emperor Li Chengwu was martyred, and the entire Shengtang Dynasty was united in hatred of the enemy, and a leader was urgently needed to stand up and lead everyone to fight against foreign enemies and take revenge.

And Li Kui, the king of Huaiyang at that time, was like a clown jumping off the beam, not only fledgling, but also suffered heavy losses by Lao Jianhua's Xuanjia army, and almost couldn't even keep his fiefdom.

At that time, if Li Bing chose to ascend the throne in Youzhou, become a new generation of emperors, and then ascend to the heights and rule the world, I am afraid that there would be no such troubles as now.

Unfortunately, he missed the perfect time.

Although Li Bing's decision at that time reflected the responsibility of a king, it also shows from the side that he is not a mature and rational politician.

What now? Maybe still not.

Murong Xue, like Shen Lie, was secretly worried about the problems of the crown prince after he ascended the throne. What if Li Chenglin and Yizhou really dare not buy it and play a trick against the new emperor Li Bing?

Could it be that the Turks and Li Kui were left alone, and the Holy Tang Army in Jingxiang was attacked first?

If you really do this, Ashina will wake up directly from your dream with a smile!

But on the other hand, if Emperor Li Bing endured this breath and did not treat those who dared to resist the decree to do anything, then from now on, it would be even more impossible for the whole world to take him seriously.

The Holy Tang Dynasty will fall completely.

Thinking of this, Murong Xue looked at Shen Lie as if asking for help: Brother, what should I do?

Shen Lie avoided his gaze and shook his head gently, meaning: Don't be unhappy for yourself, let's talk about something later.

Murong Xue comprehended, sighed secretly, and then cheered up, and cooperated with Li Bing, who was becoming more and more excited, to plan the necessary matters for the enthronement ceremony together.

After discussing for more than two hours, Li Bingcai was finally willing to let the two go. As soon as she left the main hall, Murong Xue dragged Shen Lie to a secluded place in the palace: "Lord Shen, what's wrong with Your Highness today?!" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Shen Lie shrugged angrily.

Murong Xue looked back at the gate of Ziwei Palace, and frowned: "Is it really tired, so that you are restless?" ”

Shen Lie first smiled silently, and then said, "In my opinion, most of the problem lies in that letter. ”

"Letter? What letter? Murong Xue looked confused, and then reacted: "Xiahou Ninghan's letter? ”

Shen Lie nodded: "I don't know if you can see it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be a little interesting to that Xiahou girl." ”

"Of course I have seen it a long time ago," Murong Xue said: "That year, Li Kui sent people to ambush and plot against us, and thanks to Xiahou Ninghan's rescue, His Highness was saved." At that time, His Highness's intention was obvious. How? Do you suspect that Xiahou Ninghan said something in the letter that stimulated His Highness? ”

"Wouldn't it be clear if you ask someone?" Shen Lie looked left and right: "You wait here for a while, and I'll go and find out that Dong Tianxing's tone." ”

With that, Shen Lie left Murong Xue behind and walked in the direction of Chao Pavilion alone. After a while, he walked back quickly, and before he stopped, he hurriedly said, "Sure enough, something is in trouble!" ”

Murong Xue stepped forward and said curiously, "What's the trouble?" ”

Shen Lie said troublesome in his mouth, but there was a smile on his face: "Guess first?" ”

"I'm really convinced of you, I still have the heart to tease the boring people at this time!" Murong Xue hurriedly said, "What did Dong Tianxing say?" What does he know? ”

Shen Lie stretched out his hand and patted Murong Xue's shoulder: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's illness is indeed as I expected, do you know?" Miss Xiahou is married. ”

Murong Xue was stunned: "Huh? So exaggerated? Who is she married to? ”

Shen Lie laughed, then lowered his voice and said, "She married our good brother. ”

"Li Jiangyao?!" Murong Xue reacted: "Is it really Li Jiangyao?" it! Xiahou Ninghan got along with him? ”

Shen Lie nodded vigorously: "According to Dong Tianxing, Xiahou Ninghan's current official identity is Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess, who is deeply admired by the people of Western Xinjiang, haha, do you say outrageous?" ”

"Off the beaten path!" Murong Xue couldn't help laughing: "This bastard Li Jiangyao is so fucking capable of doing things!" I vomited blood from the prince just now! ”

Shen Lie held back a smile: "I think it's pretty good." To be honest, Jiang Yao and Xiahou Ninghan are quite a good match. A beautiful and intelligent fairy can only be possessed by a hero like him. ”

Murong Xue smiled with him, and then shook his head helplessly: "He hugged the beauty, but he was at ease, but he suffered the two of us." What do you do next? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obviously lost his mind because of Xiahou Ninghan, and at this sensitive time, he has to use the dignity of the emperor to force the kings of Yizhou and Anping County, in case ......"

Shen Lie seemed to be full of care: "It's useless for you to worry." As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. How about the future, I'll talk about it later. The most important thing at the moment is to drink two cups and celebrate Jiang Yao and Ning Han. I also called Dong Tianxing just now, and he is waiting outside the palace gate. Let's listen to him tell a touching love story while drinking. ”

Shen Lie was really happy for Li Jiangyao, although Murong Xue was still worried about the prince in his heart, as long as he thought of Li Jiangyao, he was also happy. The two walked out of the imperial city side by side, took Dong Tianxing, who had been waiting for a long time, and returned to Murong Xue's small courtyard together.

"Today, three happiness is coming, let's have a few drinks!" Shen Lie listened to Dong Tianxing's story about what happened in Wenbantimu, changed his cold and harsh style in the past, and greeted warmly.

Although Dong Tianxing is not a big official, he also knows the prestige of the head of the Reverse Scale Division, and Shen Lie's enthusiastic appearance today is completely beyond his expectations. The old man secretly speculated in a panic: Is this director of the Reverse Scale Division holding back something bad? While smiling, raise a glass to each other.

Murong Xue was curious: "What are the three joys?" ”

"The first joy is naturally Brother Dong's ascension," Shen Lie said with a smile: "The second joy, we have a way to crack the poisonous soldiers." Third, it is Jiang Yao and Xiahou girl who are beautiful and heroic. ”

Hearing what he said indecently, Murong Xue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Three joys are true, but I still have a big worry now." ”

Shen Lie smiled heartily: "How can you solve your worries?" Only Du Kang! Come on, let's finish this glass first! ”

Dong Tianxing accompanied the two of them to drink the wine, and asked tentatively, "Why is General Murong worried?" ”

Because of Li Jiangyao's relationship, Murong Xue didn't treat Lao Dong as an outsider, so he told Dong Tianxing about the prince's decision to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and then forced all forces to express their positions.

Dong Tianxing pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about this, it's not difficult, it's not difficult." ”

"Oh? What is Master Dong's opinion? Murong Xue said curiously.

Dong Tianxing scratched his head: "Two adults, the old man is from Yizhou, and he has been to Jingxiang once in the middle, so he knows some about the situation on both sides." In fact, neither the imperial court nor the king of Anping County have a particularly firm position. It's not so much a wait-and-see as it is a wait-and-see. ”

Murong Xue looked at him: "Follow the trend? What do you mean......"

"A big man with weight stood up and said something, that is, the wind," Dong Tianxing smiled sheepishly: "This strong wind is blowing ahead, and the people at both ends of the first rat will naturally follow closely, so as not to become an exception and bring disaster to themselves in the future." ”

Shen Lie said: "I can understand what you said, but the question is, who is the big man with weight?" ”

Dong Tianxing glanced at the two of them meaningfully: "The Holy King of Western Frontier, who holds 350,000 heroes and occupies thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, is it considered weighty?" Do you have enough chips? ”

Murong Xue was stunned and sighed: "It's not a secret, Lord Shen and I have written to Jiang Yao before, asking him to express his attitude and support His Highness, but Jiang Yao obviously has his own ideas......"

Shen Lie also said: "Jiang Yao is different from those people. He didn't hesitate because of self-interest, but really thought that the time was not ripe. ”

Dong Tianxing nodded: "Most of the people who protect people are very good, and they are very old. But the two adults need not be discouraged. You haven't been able to convince Dadu Protector before, and you may not be successful now. In other words, your persuasion is certainly not as effective as the other person. ”

Shen Lie and Murong Xue glanced at each other when they heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiahou Ninghan? ”
