Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3130
Li Chengqian stared at Wei Ting closely, and said in a deep voice, "What does Qing Taichang mean by this?"

What do you mean by "Anyone who seeks to do something wrong will not benefit His Highness"?
According to the news recently sent back from Tuyuhun, Fushun died within two days. Once Fushun died, Nuohebo would take over the position of Tuyuhun Khan in a legitimate way, and then invade the Tang Dynasty with troops to retake Tuyuhun, which fell in the past. Tang's territory, in order to boost morale, enhance prestige, defeat the purpose of successfully controlling the entire tribe.

Under such circumstances, the war was about to break out, and everyone in Guanzhong was in danger and fell into panic.If someone spreads any unfavorable news at this time, it will inevitably cause an uproar, making the already turbulent court situation further turbulent, and even a sudden outbreak is unknown.

Wei Ting took a sip of tea in his spare time, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this minister is just expressing his loyalty to you. As for whether there are any people in Beijing and China who are planning to do something wrong, and have the heart to disobey... How can this minister Did you know? That is the duty of the 'Hundred Knights', and I have no ability to detect it, let alone stop it. However, no matter how the situation changes, the whole Wei family is willing to stand behind His Highness, not asking for anything in return, just for loyalty .”

If you agree to marry Princess Jinyang to the Wei family, we are allies; if you don't agree, then don't blame the Wei family for watching anything in the future... This is simply a naked threat.

No matter how good-tempered Li Chengqian was, how could he be intimidated by his officials like this?
Immediately, his face changed: "These matters have a lot to do with it, Tai Changqing needs to be careful with his words, otherwise, if there is a misunderstanding, it will be unsightly."

Wei Ting laughed, got up and said: "Your Highness taught me the lesson, I have written it down. However, I will still say the same thing. In the future, if I have a job, I just need to summon him, and the whole Wei family will be willing to die! I have something to do at home, I will take my leave for the time being, so as not to disturb His Highness's rest."

The meaning of these words is clearer. Whenever the Wei family agrees to marry Princess Jinyang to the Wei family, the Wei family will stand on the side of the East Palace... Their family has figured out that as long as Li Chengqian agrees to the marriage of Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er Absolutely will not refuse.

With a sullen face, Li Chengqian said calmly: "Tai Changqing walks slowly, I don't want to see you off."

Wei Ting bowed and said: "His Royal Highness stay, I will take my leave."

After taking three steps back, he turned around and walked out of the East Palace.

In the palace, Li Chengqian's face was ashen. He was annoyed that Wei Ting dared to threaten him, the crown prince, and he was also frightened by the unusual smell in Wei Ting's words—something might happen in Beijing.

Ringing the ring, the crown princess Su came out of the back hall, came to sit beside Li Chengqian in a light figure, held Li Chengqian's slightly clenched fist with her slender hand, and said softly: "Why should your Highness be angry? These people have never really Surrendering to His Highness is nothing more than uttering the words hidden in the heart in the past. Jingzhao Webster cherishes his feathers. Even if Jingzhao's situation is ups and downs, they may not dare to do some outrageous things. But the concubines don't understand Yes, why is the Wei family so obsessed with asking to marry Jinyang? Besides, only the emperor can make decisions about Jinyang's marriage, even if you agree, it doesn't matter..."

Li Chengqian snorted angrily: "They just decided that if they ran to ask for a marriage in front of the father, the father would definitely not agree, so they hoped to take a shortcut from Gu's side, and bet that the father would not ignore Gu's face!"

The soft and delicate palms of the Crown Princess eased his anger a little, and he paused and said, "Wei Ting must have known something, otherwise he wouldn't have said such words. The current situation in Beijing is complicated. Outside, Tuyuhun's rebellion is imminent, and all those with evil intentions are preparing to move, and if you are not careful, it will be a terrible disaster!"

He feels too much pressure.

Who would have thought that with the royal father's personal expedition to Liaodong, so many hidden dangers would emerge in the court?
As long as he is a little careless, he, the crown prince, will face a catastrophe beyond redemption. Don't say that he will inherit the great rule. Maybe even the lives of the East Palace will be lost...

There is no hope for Fang Jun at all. He can stand the counties in the west of Hexi.The only hope that can be placed is that the father and emperor will fall to Goguryeo as soon as possible, and then return to the dynasty.

While frightened and hesitant, Li Chengqian also deeply realized his own lack of power.

In these years, he first fought with the king of Wei, then was suppressed by his father, and then the king of Jin emerged to fight for the crown prince. Although these struggles have been fought step by step, they are cruel to his own prestige and power. blow.

Otherwise, why would Fang Jun have no credible army besides Donggong Six Rates when Fang Jun left the town of Hexi?

Even if the East Palace Six Rate is credible, it is credible, but the time for reorganization is still short. Even if military prodigy like Li Jing is responsible for the reorganization, the combat effectiveness cannot be formed overnight.

When it came time to use troops, they were helpless and empty-handed...

The concubine held Li Chengqian's palm, and said in a soft voice: "'Therefore, when the heavens will send a great mission to human beings, they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions. Therefore, if you are tempted and patient, you have benefited from what you cannot do'. Your Highness, don’t worry about the current predicament. Those who have achieved great achievements in the past and present, who has not waded through hurdles and difficulties like this? If this is the case, Your Highness can be stable. Living in Chang'an, my father must be delighted, and the subjects of the world will recognize that survival in adversity is the way to success."

These words really inspired Li Chengqian to fight high.

It does make sense if you think about it carefully, how can the current predicament be the same as the situation that the father faced back then?And the father was just put to death and reborn, broke out of the cocoon from the dead situation, and only then did he achieve a great cause.If I can survive this period of crisis, it will be of great benefit to the growth of xinxing, the consolidation of power, and the continuation of power.

Only then can one truly become the "Prince of the Kingdom"!
Otherwise, just relying on the title of the eldest son, who will obey you?
Li Chengqian cheered up: "Don't worry, my concubine, I have orthodox righteousness in my body, how can I fall under the schemes of those evil spirits? Even for my concubine and all the children, I will be firm in my resolve, face up to difficulties, and live up to those evil spirits." The courtiers who follow Gu upstream!"

Now the East Palace is surrounded by too many courtiers, if he, the crown prince, is abolished, one can imagine what will happen to those who follow him.

Li Chengqian may have a weak personality and sometimes find it difficult to make decisions, but he is not an irresponsible person.

The husband and wife were consoling each other when they suddenly heard Tong Bing, the servant of the Ministry of War, asking to see him.

Li Chengqian hurriedly announced that the crown princess should not meet foreign ministers and avoid the back hall.

After a while, Cui Dunli, dressed in official robes, stepped inside quickly, came to Li Chengqian and bowed to salute: "My minister has an audience with His Highness..."

Li Chengqian held his left hand empty, and said with a smile: "Cui Shilang is the lonely and beloved general. If you want to meet in private, you don't need to be polite. Take your seat quickly."

Cui Dunli's face was serious, but he didn't sit down. He took out a battle report from his bosom, presented it up with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "The detailed work planted in Tuyuhun sent back the battle report. King Fushun of Tuyuhun died seven days ago. His son Nuo He Bo succeeded Tuyuhun Khan and formally rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and will soon cross the Qilian Mountains and invade the Hexi counties!"

Although he knew that this was inevitable, the confirmation that Tuyuhun had rebelled still made Li Chengqian's heart sink.

After receiving the battle report, he waved to Cui Dunli and said, "Cui Dunli sit down."

Then he ordered someone to serve tea, and then he carefully read the battle report.

After a while, Li Chengqian raised his head, put the battle report on the desk on one side, let out a sigh of relief, and asked, "What's going on with Duke Yue?"

Cui Dunli sat upright, and replied: "I have arrived at the boundary of Liangzhou three days ago, and began to recruit troops from the Hexi counties to carry out defense. Tuyuhun crossed the Qilian Mountains, and could only cross the mountain valleys. It was difficult to walk, and it might take more than ten days to reach Hexi. For a period of time, the Duke of Yue can arrange it calmly, waiting for the powerful enemy to attack."

Li Chengqian put one hand on the armrest of the chair, with a heavy heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "In Cui Shilang's opinion, the Battle of Hexi... What are the chances of winning?"

He was still unwilling to let Fang Jun stick to Hexi.

If he could choose, he would rather the fall of Hexi and the cutoff of the Western Regions, and let Fang Jun return to Chang'an alive.This is not only because Fang Jun can contribute to his crown prince, but also because of his admiration and closeness to Fang Jun.

Hexi is lost today, but it can be regained in the future.

Fang Junruo died in battle in Hexi, but he cannot be brought back to life...

Cui Dunli's gaze was firm, and he said decisively: "The Battle of Hexi must be won! Your Highness, no matter when and where, you should be sure of the victory of the Battle of Hexi, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable, and there will be endless disasters!"
