Yu Guifei knew that Li Leng was a smart person, and many things, if she dialed them a little, Li Leng would understand the stakes. Even, there are some things that she hasn't seen the entanglement of interests in them, and Li Leng can see them clearly. At this point, the advance and retreat of their mother and son is no longer a matter involving two people, but is linked to the interests of thousands of individuals. It can be described as a win, a loss.

The reason why she said these words to Li Leng was not that Concubine Yu Guifei didn't believe in Li Leng's ability and decision-making courage, but because she was worried that Li Leng would be too soft-hearted and would not dare or refuse to oppose Li Daoyuan. If the good situation is lost because of the kindness of the woman for a while, then any efforts they have made before will be in vain, and by the way, a large group of people will lose their heads and connect the nine clans. The price is too great, and Concubine Yu must not be cautious, reminding Li Leng to be decisive and not to have the kindness of a woman.

Li Leng was such a smart person, how could he not understand what Yu Guifei said? But he thought more deeply than Yu Guifei. For the world, he is bound to win. The process of obtaining it, even if it is not on the table, cannot be made clear to the monks of the world. This first move can occupy a certain opportunity, but it also makes him lose the heart of the monks in the world. Based on this consideration, he endured it again and again, and did not completely tear his face with the Son of Heaven. Of course, he endured, not that he was afraid of the Son of Heaven, let alone that he did not have the ability to fight back, but that he was waiting for an excellent time to fight back. At this point in time, not only let him win the big position, but also let him win the hearts of the people.

With his understanding of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for him to calm down and let him develop like this. Therefore, forbearance is his best means. etc., is the best way for him to deal with the Son of Heaven. The longer you wait, the more unfavorable the situation will be. He saw this, and the Son of Heaven also saw it. The situation in northern Xinjiang has just been decided, the foundation has not yet reached the point of being as stable as Mount Tai, and the contact and alliance with eastern Xinjiang are only in the initial stage. After all, it all takes time.

The Son of Heaven is a wise man who sees through the stakes more than anyone else. Therefore, he knew very well that the longer he waited, the more stable Li Leng's situation in Northern Xinjiang would be, and the higher his personal prestige would be, and he would completely control the Northern Xinjiang army. At the same time, the interests of northern Xinjiang and eastern Xinjiang will be closely linked, and for the common interests of both sides, eastern Xinjiang will certainly do its best to support Li Leng and northern Xinjiang. In this way, the situation of the Son of Heaven is not good.

In the current situation, if he wants to break this delicate and unfavorable situation, the only way for the Son of Heaven to strike first is to get rid of Li Leng, and then quickly take down Yan Song and other northern Xinjiang generals to disintegrate or divide the northern Xinjiang army. At the same time, the Tiger Ben Army was dispatched to form an encirclement posture against the eastern Xinjiang to deter the eastern Xinjiang army from coming chaotically. Only in this way can we truly keep the situation at bay. But in order to achieve this effect, the most fundamental and critical thing is to get rid of Li Leng. As long as Li Leng lives for one day, then the plan of the Son of Heaven will not be able to go smoothly, let alone control the northern frontier.

Li Leng saw this, so he deliberately left the Northern Xinjiang army outside Chang'an City and entered Chang'an City alone, wanting to use himself as a bait to lure the Son of Heaven to do it. Once the Son of Heaven makes a move, then he has enough reason to fight back.

It's a pity that Concubine Yu Guifei couldn't see through this key link, and when she saw Li Leng alone in danger, she thought that Li Leng couldn't see that Chang'an City was already in danger, and she was worried about his safety, so she would desperately remind Li Leng so that he could be prepared.

In the Weiyang Palace, the queen Shangguan Wan'er sat on the high platform, quietly looking at Li Chengqian kneeling at the bottom, I don't know when, tears slowly slipped down, sighed, and asked: "Chengqian, let me ask you, did you kill your uncle." ”

"Yes, my uncle has changed his mind, and my son has to make other plans. Li Chengqian admitted very generously that at the beginning, he found that Shangguan Yun was determined to support Li Leng, and he was full of grief and indignation, and persuaded Shangguan Yun several times not to support Li Leng, saying that he was the only one who represented the interests of Shangguan's family. Everyone else will harm the Shangguan family in the end. But Shangguan Yun told him that a mere Shangguan family was nothing compared to the interests of the monks in the world. also said that the only one who can really lead the Tang Dynasty to unify the world is Li Leng.

At this time, he was completely desperate for Shangguan Yun, and he also understood that this uncle, who he used to respect so much, was gone forever, and it was impossible to return to him. He also knew very well what Shangguan Yun's change of heart meant, it was a devastating blow to him. Without Shangguan Yun's tough support, Shangguan's attitude would have become very ambiguous, even if he would not fully support Li Leng, he would not work so hard to support him. In the end, it became more and more beneficial to Li Leng. He would never allow such a thing to happen, nor would he allow Li Leng to ride on his head.

Therefore, he deliberately set a trap and let Shangguan Yun lead the vanguard army to fight against the Yuanrong clan, while he did not move and did not let anyone from the Northern Xinjiang army support Shangguan Yun. watched Shangguan Yun fall into the heavy encirclement of the Yuanrong clan's iron cavalry, and in the end, he was split into pieces alive by the Yuanrong clan. That battle also made many of his followers see his face clearly, and those people also changed and no longer followed him so persistently.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale, she was full of anger, her fists were clenched tightly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That's your uncle, why can you do it?" If he doesn't support you, it doesn't mean that he will betray you, and the Shangguan family will still support you. But you ...... Like your father, he is too suspicious and always unwilling to trust the people around him. You think that Shangguan Yun will join forces with Li Leng and will advise the Shangguan family not to support you. Therefore, for your own benefit, you ruthlessly killed Shangguan Yun. Cheng Qian, you are my son, but why is your heart so ruthless!"

Li Chengqian said coldly: "Queen Mother, you believe your uncle, because you didn't see your uncle's attitude at that time, let alone what your uncle said. I don't have a choice, my uncle doesn't die, and my situation will be more dangerous. So, I had to get rid of my uncle. The Shangguan family is mine, and they must support me. Mother, you have cultivated me for so many years, do you want to waste all your years of hard work? I killed my uncle, and I felt very sad. Compared with our grand ambition and hegemony, what is the life and death of an individual?"

"You ......" Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what to say all of a sudden, her face became more and more pale, her eyes were bright, she looked so powerless and helpless, looked at Li Chengqian for a while, and said bitterly, "You don't know how much your uncle expects from you." He knows that you are narrow-minded and suspicious, just like your father. But he still puts all his hopes in you. He said that the country of Datang will always be given to you. Whether the Son of Heaven is willing to give it to you or not, he will support you to the end. ”

Li Chengqian's eyebrows moved, his eyes showed a trace of pain and helplessness, and he said that he didn't regret killing Shangguan Yun in his heart, and that was just deceiving others. At the beginning, he saw Shangguan Yun's death so tragically that he didn't even find the body, and his heart was still painful. But when he thought of what Shangguan Yun had said to him, especially when Shangguan Yun decided that Li Leng had the appearance of the Son of Heaven and the ability of the Son of Heaven, he could take the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world, and his heart became very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Therefore, he has no choice, for the sake of the world, for the country, and for his own interests, he must take this step. The way things turned out was something he hadn't thought about or expected. He originally thought that by relying on the advantage of the northern Xinjiang army, he could pacify the Yuanrong clan and recover thirty cities in northern Xinjiang. It's a pity that he underestimated the strong combat power of the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry. Previously, Shangguan Yun mediated from the side, and they also occupied a certain advantage. As soon as Shangguan Yun died, the Northern Xinjiang army led by him completely lost its advantage, and was chased and beaten by the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry.

The child understood what the queen mother meant. Li Chengqian slowly stood up, his tone was very tough and firm, "But the child also wants to tell the queen mother that no matter how big the consequences of this incident are, the child will never regret the original choice." For the sake of the world, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I can give up my personal little love. In the future, if I win the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely treat the Shangguan family and my uncle's descendants well. At this point, please rest assured that the queen mother. ”

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian's meaning is very clear, sleep and interfere with me, whoever is my enemy, and he will kill all the enemies. Regarding the killing of Shangguan Yun, if the queen mother can no longer pursue it, or support him as always, then he will treat the Shangguan family well in the future, and if he still wants to put him to death, then he will kill the Shangguan family in the future.

Shangguan Wan'er was dead, and knew that it was impossible to pull Li Chengqian back, so she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said slowly: "No matter what, you are my son, even if you are heinous, you are still my son." Actually, I know that the one who is really qualified to inherit the unification is Li Leng. But the country of the Tang Dynasty is handed over to Li Leng, then you will definitely die. I don't want to see you killed, no matter what the Tang Dynasty will become in the end, I will do my best to support you and help you get this world. ”

Li Chengqian's face showed ecstasy, and he said loudly: "Thank you to the queen mother, I will definitely live up to my mother's expectations, and I will definitely treat everyone in the Shangguan family well." He knelt down again and expressed his gratitude.

Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand and very weakly let Li Chengqian retreat. After Li Chengqian left, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the huge Weiyang Hall in a daze, and suddenly, she felt very cold, very lonely, and there was not even a person around her who could talk. She sighed, walked to the attic, and watched Li Chengqian's figure gradually disappear into the dark curtain, tears still couldn't stop flowing, and muttered to herself: "I don't know if I'm doing this, I'm sorry for the Shangguan family, but I know that I must be sorry for Shangguan Yun." ”

Gao Yang walked in cautiously, seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was in a bad mood, and didn't know what was going on, he was silent for a while, and still asked very carefully: "Niangniang, what happened?" Your face is very ugly, do you want to call the imperial doctor to show you?"

"No, I'll be fine with a rest. Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, she didn't have much trust in Gao Yang. This person has always been forgetful of profit, and he doesn't know how much bad water he has hidden in his heart. Looking out the window quietly, she asked, "I heard that Li Leng entered Chang'an City alone with the Tiger Ben Army, and then entered the palace to see the Jade Guifei, and now, is he still in the palace?" Didn't he know that the Son of Heaven had murderous intentions against him?

Shangguan Wan'er believes that a person who can control the army of Northern Xinjiang in such a short period of time, and form a rivalry with the army of Eastern Xinjiang, must have great wisdom and wisdom, and it is impossible not to see this method of the Son of Heaven. But Li Leng still wants to take risks, which shows that he must have bigger plans. Victory and defeat, just in these few days. Li Chengqian has nothing left, can he really win the final victory by relying on a Shangguan family?

I don't know why, Shangguan Wan'er's heart is very uneasy, this uneasiness is not given to him by the Son of Heaven and Li Leng, but by Li Chengqian. She always felt that Li Chengqian's view of the whole thing so calmly showed that he had second-hand preparations. What kind of preparation is it? She felt faintly uneasy, turned around suddenly, looked at Gao Yang for a while, and said, "Grandpa Gao, you can help me do something." This must be done quietly, and must not be known to a second person. ”

Gao Gonggong's heart moved, and he realized that the matter that Shangguan Wan'er wanted to explain was very important, and hurriedly said: "Please ask the mother to command, the slave and maid will do their best to complete it." ”

"Check out His Royal Highness the Prince...... Who have you been in contact with recently?" Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a while, and said with a very ugly face, "Especially to check whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has colluded with the people of the Demon Clan. ”

"What?" Gao Yang was taken aback, colluding with the demons, it was a heinous crime. Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so stupid? As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he colluded with the demon clan, and once the matter was revealed, it would not only affect the Empress Shangguan and the Shangguan family, but also the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

The cause of trouble was big, Gao Yang keenly felt the murderous motive, a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in fear: "Niangniang, how can Your Highness collude with the demon clan? Subconsciously thought that Li Leng was sowing discord.

Shangguan Wan'er said coldly: "Let you do it, you just do it, what so much nonsense." Also, I warn you, there is a third person who knows about this, so you just wait for your head to move!"

"Yes, mother, the slave knows what to do. Gao Yang was frightened, bowed down, and slowly withdrew.

As soon as he came out of the Weiyang Palace, Gao Yang's eyes rolled, he didn't want to accompany the queen and his party to death, so he turned around and galloped towards the Qiangong.

He will truthfully report this matter to the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven decide.
