Chapter 469 The Disappointed Eldest Sun Chong
Since this spring, when Xue Yantuo fought east and west, Mobei has become more and more lively. On the contrary, Monan and the Hedong generation have gradually calmed down. Although there is a sense of tension, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the battle between Datang and Xue Yantuo lasted for a while. Still can't get up.

Nothing happened on the sidelines, and Li Ke, the governor of Bingzhou, had nothing else to do except for the daily military affairs, so he naturally relaxed slowly.

After autumn came, Li Ke, who had been free for a few days, had nothing to do. He was already thinking about whether to stay for a few days and pick a sunny day to take Wu Meiniang out of the city to relax.

Right now everything is going well, Li Ke naturally has such a leisurely mood, but with a letter sent from Chang'an, Li Ke's good interest disappeared in an instant.

Hedong, Taiyuan, and Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Governor, news from Chang'an." In the study room in the inner courtyard of the Metropolitan Mansion, Li Ke was reading the military book that Li Jing had given him, and Sun Chong, the Chief of Staff of the Metropolitan Mansion, was holding a letter in his hand. walked in.

When Li Ke is studying, especially when he is reading military books, he usually doesn't like to be disturbed by others. Chang Sun Chong has been following Li Ke for some time. Chang Sun Chong is also aware of this, but Chang Sun Chong knows that Li Ke is studying, so he still can't wait for a moment. If he broke in, there must be something important.

Li Ke is in the mansion, and the news control has its own department. If the news comes from the Chu Palace in Beijing or from the Concubine Yang in the inner palace, it must go through Wu Meiniang. If it comes from subordinate officials or local states and counties, it must go through Wang Xuance However, Chang Sun Chong, as a recorder and a member of the military, is in charge of Li Ke's confidential documents. Since it was sent by Chang Sun Chong, it is mostly news from the palace or the province.

"What's the matter?" Li Ke immediately put down the "Mirror of the Six Armies" in his hand, and asked Chang Sun Chong.

Chang Sun Chong handed the letter in Li Ke's hands, and told Li Ke: "Governor, the imperial handwritten letter sent by His Majesty seems to be asking the governor about the government."

"Oh? Bring me to have a look." Li Ke showed a hint of curiosity on his face, and took the letter from Chang Sun Chong.

Li Ke is the prince, and he is very much loved by Li Shimin. Although Li Ke is in Taiyuan, he and Li Shimin often exchange letters. However, the letters Li Shimin wrote to Li Ke are usually family letters to ask for warmth. Hearing what Chang Sun Chong wanted, Li Shimin actually wrote a letter to ask.

Li Ke opened the letter in his hand, at first his expression was normal, but when Li Ke glanced at it for a few times, his expression turned ugly.

"How could this be?" Li Ke said in surprise, holding Li Shimin's letter in his hand.

Chang Sun Chong didn't know what was going on, but looking at Li Ke's appearance, he couldn't help being more curious. Chang Sun Chong asked, "I don't know what happened to call the governor like this?"

Li Ke handed the letter in his hand to Chang Sun Chong, and said to Chang Sun Chong: "Just take a look."

Changsun Chong looked at the letter Li Ke handed over, hesitant for a while, Li Shimin wrote the letter to Li Ke, even though he was in charge of confidential documents on Li Ke's behalf, it was inconvenient to read casually.What's more, he is still the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson's family and Chu Palace are irreconcilable enemies in the court.

Li Ke also saw Chang Sun Chong's scruples, so he said: "It's okay, what is written in the letter is state affairs, and there is nothing private, so it's okay to see it."

"Promise." Changsun rushed to order, and then took the letter from Li Ke's hand.

Chang Sun Chong took the letter, and he just glanced at it briefly, his eyes were also full of surprise.

Changsun Chong asked Li Ke: "The Northern Expedition is on the verge of imminent development. Why is Your Majesty suddenly thinking of getting married?"

It turned out that the handwriting handed over by Changsun Chong to Li Ke was nothing but the matter of the court meeting and marriage. Although Li Ke was not in the court, Li Ke, as the governor of Bingzhou, was in charge of the affairs on the east side of the river. Naturally, he would also ask what Li Ke meant.

Li Ke said to Changsun Chong: "Looking at what was mentioned in the father's letter, it is probably the prince's suggestion."

Chang Sun Chong nodded when he heard the words, but did not reply immediately.Although the letter didn't say it clearly, Chang Sun Chong knew very well that Chang Sun Wuji, who is the minister of the Ministry of War, could not have been ignorant of such a big matter. Behind this matter, Chang Sun Wuji's figure was probably indispensable.

Li Ke was in charge of the Northern Expedition. If it was abandoned, not only would Li Ke lose the chance to make contributions, but he would even be bound to Hedong and do nothing. Li Ke would suffer the most after this incident, and his eldest grandson Needless to say what the relationship between Wuji and Li Ke is, as long as it can make Li Ke suffer and be trapped in Hedong, the eldest grandson Wuji must not spare any effort.

Chang Sun Chong didn't know how to speak for a while, and after a moment's pause, he regretted saying: "The governor has been in the east for a long time, and now there is civil strife in Mobei, internal friction between the east and the west, the strategy of the governor has begun to bear fruit, but now it suddenly appears. This is really unexpected.”

As Chang Sun Chong spoke, he couldn't help revealing a bit of disappointment in his words.

In the past, if Changsun Chong had never been to Bianzhou, Changsun Chong might not have been so disappointed, but since last year, Changsun, as Li Ke's subject, followed Li Ke to Hedong, looking at Beijiang Chang Sun Chong's state of mind has already quietly changed.

In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Chang Sun Chong is also considered a close person of Li Ke. Not only Li Ke, but the entire Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and even Chang Sun Chong himself, have spent too much effort on the Northern Expedition. The struggle is at stake.

When Chang Sun Chong heard the news of the marriage, he felt regretful and anxious, and even a little bit disappointed and dissatisfied with the crown prince, who used important family and country affairs as bargaining chips for the crown prince.

Li Ke looked at Chang Sun Chong's appearance, and asked Chang Sun Chong, "Isn't Zijing willing to watch the two countries reconcile?"

Changsun Chong smiled wryly and said: "I am also a member of the Governor's Mansion, and I have spent a lot of effort on the Northern Expedition. Naturally, I don't want to see the Northern Expedition come to nothing. Besides, I still want to stay in the North for a few more years. After making great achievements in the Northern Expedition, returning to Beijing to marry Changle, now it looks like it may be difficult."

Li Ke looked at Chang Sun Chong's expression and listened to Chang Sun Chong's words. Li Ke knew that what Chang Sun Chong said was the truth.

Changsun Chong came from the Changsun family, he was originally a descendant of a family, his father, Changsun Wuji, was the leader of the founding heroes, he was a son of a powerful and powerful person, in addition, the eldest grandson family was also a descendant, he was even a foreign relative, he was already a rare noble in the world , but even if he is so honorable, he is not completely free from worries.

Changsun Chong is the nephew of Empress Changsun. As early as the seventh year of Zhenguan, he made a marriage contract with Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, but they never got married. , but he has no merits, and he is still a bit short of wanting to marry Li Shimin's eldest princess.

Changsun Chong originally planned to stay in Hedong for a few years, and when he went northward with Li Ke in the Northern Expedition and won meritorious deeds, he could go back to Beijing and ask for the princess in a dignified manner, but now it seems that his plan may not be easy.

"kindness"

Li Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the bitter look on Chang Sun Chong's face, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It's okay, the marriage is just a preliminary discussion, and it has not yet been finalized. This king may have a chance to change things."
