Chapter 877: Go and Invite Princess Lishan!
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Ji in front of him, his eyes were full of anger.
The three of them are the last reliance of the military, if they can't even unite their own people, then Su Dingfang has no other way but to withdraw his troops.
"You are too reckless, Your Majesty is also in a dilemma now, and now being too coercive will only make Your Majesty think that we are too sharp.
If His Majesty is jealous, even if Xing Guogong wants to be in Jishi Mountain again, it will be impossible. ”
Li Ji glanced at Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde, and slowly shook his head.
"So you mean we don't fight? Then Your Majesty will definitely be led astray by Ren Yaxiang and Du Zhenglun.
It's not your style to sit back and wait, do you have other ideas? ”
Wei Chi Jingde glanced at Li Ji, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Hehe, in fact, we don't fight, but there is one person who can help us fight, and this person has more weight than us in front of His Majesty."
Li Ji smiled, his eyes full of depth.
"Is there anyone else going to fight for us? And what you say has more weight than us? You don't mean to say the queen, do you? ”
Wei Chi Jingde frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.
"Stupid, is your brain full of mush? How can the queen have so much intersection with us, you are talking about the girl Li Yanran, the princess of Lishan! ”
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Wei Chi Jingde with disdain, Li Ji said everything so clearly, you don't know who it is.
I don't know how your brain grows.
"That's right, as long as we can say that Princess Lishan will go to His Majesty's side to make a statement, even if Ren Yaxiang says that it is heavenly, it is useless!"
Li Ji nodded, and he was talking about Li Yanran.
"Look at my brain, why did that girl forget.
Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and go to the Lishan fiefdom, don't make a decision too late when Your Majesty makes a decision. ”
Wei Chi Jingde also patted his head, and got into the carriage directly to find Li Yanran.
"Let's go."
"Hurry up!"
The two also stepped into the carriage separately, left Chang'an, and ran towards the Lishan fiefdom.
"The three princes have left Chang'an and gone to the Lishan fiefdom!"
Someone immediately came to Ren Yaxiang and told the whereabouts of the three of them.
"It's not good, they are planning to save the country, if they say that Princess Lishan will help intercede, then Your Majesty will have to go to war with Tubo."
Hearing this, Ren Yaxiang instantly became nervous.
Originally, the two sides should be evenly matched, but if the other party really finds foreign aid, with the momentum of Li Yanran's favor in front of the emperor, the other party will inevitably issue an order for a comprehensive decisive battle.
"So what do we do? Why don't we go find Princess Lishan too? ”
Du Zhenglun also frowned, and he didn't know what to do.
"Do you think Princess Lishan will listen to us? When you arrive at the Lishan fiefdom, you can't be driven out by others, even if it's good. ”
Ren Yaxiang was depressed, everyone knew the relationship between herself and Li Yanran, didn't she feel uncomfortable when she went to Lishan?
"And what are you going to do?"
Du Zhenglun looked at Ren Yaxiang, not knowing how the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was going to deal with Li Yanran's trick.
"How? They are looking for Princess Lishan, and we are not without nobody, follow me to find Xu Jingzong. ”
Ren Yaxiang sneered, his eyes full of coldness.
Although he looked down on a gluttonous minister like Xu Jingzong, he had to go to him now.
"Do you want to go to the Empress through Xu Jingzong and get her to support our idea?"
Du Zhenglun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the other party meant.
"That's right, although the queen is a woman, she understands the righteousness and has a great sense of the overall situation, and she will definitely be able to see the danger of a decisive battle with Tubo at this time.
As long as we give a little more, the other party will inevitably agree to speak for us.
If she had spoken for us, His Majesty would have fallen to us completely. ”
Ren Yaxiang nodded and said her thoughts directly.
If you look for your daughter, then I'll go to her mother and see who has higher mana.
"It's still the prime minister's wisdom, Du Zhenglun is convinced!"
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
"Whoa!"
The two also ran towards Xu Jingzong's mansion together.
"Your Highness, the three princes have arrived!"
Di Renjie came to Li Yanran and told the news that the three of them wanted to see.
"Three princes? Come in, and I'll meet you myself! ”
Hearing that Cheng Yanjin and them were coming, Li Yanran was also stunned for a moment, jumped directly from the chair, and went out to greet them.
"No need to pick it up, we are uninvited, Princess Lishan won't blame us!"
Before the sound of people arrived, Cheng Yanjin also took Li Ji and Wei Chi Jingde into the house together.
"The three princes are here, and they are flattered, how can they blame it!"
Li Yanran also smiled at the three of them, and then asked Di Renjie to prepare fragrant tea.
Everyone sat down, and the tea was also sent to the servants.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Ji also smiled: "I always feel that the tea in this fiefdom is much more fragrant than the one sold outside, are you hiding all those good things." ”
"The British public laughed, maybe the water here is better, after all, there is a mountain spring here, and it will have some effect after brewing."
Li Yanran also smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Three princes, don't say those polite words, you suddenly visited, something must have happened!"
"Princess Lishan is really clever, then we won't hide it."
Li Ji glanced at the other two and directly said his intentions.
"So you want me to persuade my father to support a full-scale war with Tibet!"
After listening to this, Li Yanran also frowned.
This is a militaristic matter, she is just a child, she has no power and power, and if she gets involved in the fight between the two sides, she is likely to become a victim.
"That's right, Your Highness, although you are young, we have never treated you as a child.
This matter is related to the future of Datang, and Tubo is a hungry wolf, always waiting for opportunities.
If we don't seize the opportunity to destroy the other party now, when these old guys run out of oil and the lamp runs out, and the new generation of Datang does not grow up, Datang will be in danger.
Therefore, you must not let Your Majesty follow Ren Yaxiang's advice and give up this opportunity in vain. ”
Cheng Yanjin also stood up, and the only thing they could rely on now was Li Yanran.
He knew that the other party would definitely see the danger of Tibet, so he would oppose public opinion and support the emperor's war against Tibet.
"Tubo is indeed a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty, if they can really be crippled or even destroyed in one fell swoop, then they should indeed go all out to wage war against Tubo.
But do you think it's appropriate for me to talk about it?
I'm just a child, and you put the burden on me, and all I can say is that you think too highly of me! ”
Li Yanran shook her head, it's not that she doesn't want to help now, it's that she doesn't dare to help.
After all, this is a military matter, and it is not appropriate for her to intervene rashly.
"Your Highness, we didn't let you do anything, we just went to state the stakes to Your Majesty.
I believe that with His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely be able to distinguish the interests and make the right decision. ”
Li Ji naturally knew what Li Yanran was embarrassed about, but in the current situation, they had no choice.
The only one who can rely on Li Yanran is Li Yanran, if she doesn't help with this matter, it will be a bad dish.
"That's right, Your Highness, this is a matter of the entire Datang military, if it is gone, it will be a huge blow to Datang!"
"That is, we are wholeheartedly devoted to Your Highness.
Whenever you have something, we will do our best, and if you don't help us with this, it will be a bit too much. ”
Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde also spoke one after another, persuading Li Yanran to help them export.
"You guys, then I'll try it, but I don't know if it can be done!"
Li Yanran looked at the three of them again, you are really speechless.
She has a close relationship with the three families, and she doesn't want to have a disagreement with the three of them just like that.
After all, they are still counting on the children of the three to do things for themselves, and this Chang'an will go to everything he says.
"In this way, His Highness Lao!"
Hearing Li Yanran's agreement, the three of them also saluted together and retreated.
"Di Renjie, what do you think of this!"
After the three of them left, Li Yanran also called Di Renjie over.
"Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting for years since the founding of the country, although it has been recuperating for a period of time, but the people are tired.
If there is really a war with Tubo this time, it will be a huge test for Datang.
After all, if I were Tibetan, since I decided to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, I would definitely find a way to provoke the unsubservient people in the Western Regions to set off a rebellion.
At that time, we will face a situation of two-front warfare, and two-front warfare will inevitably divide Datang's strength.
If you can't do your best, you're afraid that you will lose the battle with Tubo, and once you lose the entire southwest of the Tang Dynasty, even the Western Regions may be lost.
Moreover, the three princes represent the entire military force, if His Majesty agrees, those military generals will inevitably oppress the Tang Dynasty to continue to fight abroad.
Although the old country is warlike and bound to perish, if it really embarks on the road of all-round expansion with reckless military force, the consequences will be unimaginable.
On the contrary, if the troops are withdrawn from Jishi Mountain now, although Tuhun Valley will be suppressed by Tubo, it will be a situation of mutual attrition, which is the situation that Datang wants to see the most. ”
Di Renjie's thoughts are the same as Ren Yaxiang's, and maintaining stability is the path that should be pursued now.
Once the war starts, no one knows what will happen next.
Although Su Dingfang is playing very well now, once he loses, it will be completely finished.
"Although the old country is warlike and will perish, although it is very true, there is a sentence behind it, although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous.
Tubo has long had the intention of annexing the Tang Dynasty, and they are too close to Chang'an, once there is an accident in the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo thieves will definitely wave their army to the east and attack Chang'an.
I don't want this to happen, so what I can do now is to take advantage of what I can do to let the Tang Dynasty cripple Tubo, or even destroy it. ”
