Chapter 43: An Eventful Season

Who is it?

Who dares to say bluntly that the representative of the Shandong clan, Cui Yixuan, the prince of Qingqiu County, is wrong?

Who dares to say bluntly that Cui Yixuan, who was born in the world's wealthy Qinghe Cui family, and even the emperor gave three points, was wrong?

Everyone present was pretentious, and the owner of the young voice was actually the prince!

His Majesty is now in the prime of life, and the crown prince has not yet taken charge. On weekdays, even if it is a court meeting, unless His Majesty personally inquires, it is easy not to say a word, how can I ...... today

"Please advise the prince!" Cui Yixuan bowed in the direction of the prince, and there were a lot of things in his mind, what was wrong with him, and why did the prince speak at this time?

"I don't dare to advise. However, Li Qiang was born in Longxi, and he made great contributions to my Datang not long ago. At this time, he was already a general in my Tang Yi Mansion, in charge of the forbidden army of the East Palace, and even his father had to call Aiqing. Lone just said that Cui Xiangong and Li Lang would call the same hall ministers, and it seemed inappropriate to call Li Qiang a kid. Prince Li Chengqian said in a harmonious voice.

That Li Qiang was born in Longxi, and he is already a general in Yifu! Cui Yixuan was dumbfounded after hearing this.

That kid is not only surnamed Li, but also born in today's county, Longxi!

Yifu Zhonglang will be the martial artist of the Tang Dynasty from the fourth grade, and he will be in charge of the internal guard. Now Li Qiang has not only become a high-ranking military attache in the Tang Dynasty, but also under the command of the crown prince.

No wonder the prince wants to stand up for him this time.

Cui Yixuan figured out some of the situation a little, and secretly said that he had made a mistake and missed such important information.

The prince's lineage, in an important position, is also strong.

Cui Yixuan thought that when he proposed to hold the competition, His Majesty agreed so happily, and it turned out that there was a reason for this.

Mistakes, mistakes, I actually proposed before the game to change the rules in the ring to life and death. In case that Li Lang really encounters an accident in the ring, he will be in endless trouble in the future.

But, at this moment......

Cui Yixuan looked at Wang Changsuo, who was kneeling on one knee beside him, with a majestic appearance, thought for a while, and turned his heart sideways.

That's it, the old man still has to fight today.

"It turns out that Lord Li is already a general of the forbidden army, and the old man is closed to news, and I hope that Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive him. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are meritocracy, which is really a blessing for me. Cui Yixuan said this, and his tone changed.

However, in this competition, the disciples of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan were defeated by Lang Jiang, but the strength of the disciples who participated in the competition was far inferior to Wang Changsuo. Since Wang Changsuo has arrived, if he doesn't have a competition with Li Lang here, I'm afraid that Longhu Mountain will have objections to the results of the competition in the future. The minister proposed that Li Lang would have a showdown with Wang Changsuo to reassure people's hearts. ”

The prince snorted coldly in his heart, I'm afraid that only you, Cui Yixuan, have objections.

Cui Yixuan's behavior today is indeed strange, as if he must embarrass the emperor, and forcibly puts forward all kinds of strange proposals.

It's just that the power of the five clans in Shandong behind him is really strong, and even if it is such an offensive proposal, the emperor has to consider one or two.

The scene was somewhat quiet, and a series of clear and hurried footsteps could be heard.

A palace eunuch hurriedly ran up, crossed the civil and military officials on the viewing platform, and trotted behind the emperor, whispering a few words in the ear of His Majesty the emperor.

Li Shimin heard the eunuch's words, and his face was extremely cold, as if he had heard something bad.

What happened?

The officials were very quiet, most of them didn't know what kind of news the eunuch had brought, and now they were all holding their breath, for fear of touching the emperor's moldy head.

The huge viewing platform can be heard for a while.

"According to the report from the Ministry of War and Huazhou, Weinan County has been lost for more than 90 days, and none of the more than ten waves of scouts sent before and after have returned, and there is no news. ”

Under Li Shimin's instructions, the eunuch who reported the news concisely explained the situation to the Tang humerus present.

A county seat, or a county near Chang'an City, has been lost for more than three months!?

His Majesty the Emperor was in a bad mood, and stood up and paced back and forth in front of the imperial case.

This Weinan County belongs to Huazhou, which is less than 150 miles away from Chang'an, Beijing, and has a population of more than 20,000.

Now the four seas are in service, and it is not a year of frequent wars. How can a county be cut off for no reason?

Many of the officials sighed silently in their hearts the same word, eventful.

At this moment, almost all of the important ministers of the Tang Empire are all important ministers, and naturally they all know the prophecy of the national teacher about the appearance of the demon god. In addition, in the past six months, the four seas have not been quiet, and demons have appeared from time to time on the land of Kyushu, and I am afraid that it is getting closer and closer to the day when the demon god in the mouth of the national teacher will break the seal.

This time, Weinan County lost contact for no reason, the time is so strange, and it is so close to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it can't help but make people associate the two things together.

I'm afraid there's something going on!

Li Shimin frowned, paced, and saw Cui Yixuan, who was still bowing in front of him, and his brows were a little deeper.

This Cui Yixuan is really too ignorant.

But the more at this time, the more you can't afford internal friction. It is better to investigate the problems in Weinan County clearly first, and then say, Shandong Wangzu, Longhu Mountain, and Maoshan will all be useful in the future.

Li Shimin tried his best to adjust his emotions and said slowly: "According to Cui Aiqing's words, Li Qiang and Wang Changsuo are one point at a time!"

His Majesty agreed.

Cui Yixuan bowed deeper: "Your Majesty." ”

"But I've got three. First, these two people are my Tang Dynasty warriors, and the competition will stop at the point, don't hurt the harmony. Second, the date of the game was changed to tomorrow, Li Qiang Aiqing has played many games today, and he is already tired. Three, the winner of the two tomorrow, led a battalion of forbidden troops and went to Weinan County to investigate the truth. Li Shimin made three additions in a decisive way.

These three articles are the final decision of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and both sides can accept this result. The officials shouted: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Compared with the situation in Weinan County, the victory or loss of Li Qiang and Wang Changsuo's game is less important.

The prophesied demon god may break out at any time, and the Tang Empire still has a lot of important things to do, and it also needs the support of the Shandong Wang clan. Tie up a chariot for all the strength, as noble as Li Shimin, there are not many choices to make.

Li Qiang didn't care too much about the result of the game, this game was originally asked by the prince to participate, and he didn't put too much effort into it, but now he just has to play one more game.

However, Li Qiang didn't want to take the errand of leading the troops to Weinan County.

Li Qiang didn't know that the matter in Weinan might have something to do with the monsters, he thought that he was just a cultivator, and he didn't know anything about military affairs at all. How can you lead your troops into battle?

But no one dared to disobey His Majesty's will, and he also received the Tang Dynasty's Yulu. If this errand really falls on his head, I'm afraid that he will have to consult the prince at that time.

The prince is resourceful, he had a fight with his colleagues outside the Saiwai at the beginning, and after entering Chang'an City, he took care of himself very much, and it is estimated that he can give himself a good solution.

Today's race, which lasted from early morning to late afternoon, is finally coming to an end.

The funny thing is that on the ring outside Chengtianmen, a total of fifty or sixty battles were fought, and under Wang Changsuo's intrusion and Cui Yixuan's advice, in the end, even the champion was not announced.

His Majesty the Emperor summoned Li Qiang and today's contestants to the front, and after saying some words of encouragement, he took hundreds of officials into the palace.

Just wait for tomorrow, Li Qiang and Wang Changsuo will have a showdown, and then announce the ownership of the championship.

After the end, Chen Heming looked at Li Qiang's departing back from a distance, and sighed: "The cultivation is good, but the luck is a little worse, if Wang Changsuo comes a quarter or two hours late, you will already be a champion." ”
