Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Seven days later, Li Chuang returned to Chang'an with the Southern Expedition Army.

There are still people ten miles away from Chang'an to welcome you here.

Li Chuang was somewhat surprised to see the welcoming team so far away.

When he returned in triumph before, although there were people out of the city to greet him, it was only five or six miles away, and the distance of ten miles was indeed a bit too grand.

He smiled and said to the welcoming officials: "It's really hard work for you, all of you will be rewarded."

Chenla Kingdom in the south is a rich land, and this time Li Chuang returned triumphantly, bringing back extremely rich spoils of war.

Now that he is in a good mood, the shot will naturally be more generous.

The welcoming official naturally smiled happily, and quickly said: "This is what King Qi meant, and King Liang is the same mother and younger brother of King Qi, so the treatment is naturally different."

Hearing that all of this was arranged by his brother, Li Chuang felt even better.

Since the death of Concubine Yin, there were not many opportunities for their brothers to meet. It is rare that Li You Jianguo stayed in Chang'an for a long time this time, and Li Chuang was also planning to have a good reunion with his brother.

However, what Li Chuang didn't expect was that when he was about to continue his journey with the army, the envoy told him: "Master Jian Guo has ordered that soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city, and King Liang can enter the city alone!"

Li Chuang was very puzzled by Li You's strange order. He was about to inquire when he heard the emissary's explanation: "Now that His Royal Highness is besieged, some people in Chang'an City are in panic. If King Liang brings an army into the city at this time, I'm afraid someone will have a different idea."

"If the crown prince really dies unfortunately, then the candidate to succeed the crown prince is likely to be Lord Jian Guo."

"If it is reported at this time that King Liang is leading an army into the city, it is very likely that there will be remarks that are unfavorable to Mr. Jianguo."

"I think King Liang should be able to understand the difficulties."

It has to be said that the eloquence of this emissary was very good, and Li Chuang could nod his head in just a few words.

Li Chuang immediately asked the deputy general to lead the army back to the nearby barracks to stand by, and Li Chuang prepared to follow the envoy to meet Li You alone.

Just as Li Chuang was about to leave, a handsome lieutenant next to him immediately came out and said, "My lord, let me go with you."

Seeing this person, Li Chuang nodded immediately and said, "Since you want to go, let's go together."

After speaking, Li Chuang said to the envoy again: "This is a man from Prince Liang's mansion, and he and my brother are old acquaintances, let him go with me."

The messenger looked at the lieutenant again, and finally nodded.

Then Li Chuang and the two were brought to the Shence Mansion by the envoy.

However, when Li Chuang saw Li You, Li You looked at him in surprise and said, "Zao'er, why did you come back so soon?"

"I even sent someone to pick you up outside the city."

What Li You said made Li Chuang confused: "Brother, didn't I come back with your envoy?"

After saying this, Li You was startled, and quickly said: "How is this possible? My envoy has only been out for less than a stick of incense, how could it be possible to pick you up."

Li Chuang was also surprised: "Brother, did you make a mistake? Your envoy greeted us ten miles away from Chang'an City, and let me come back to see you alone!"

"What, you came alone!"

When Li You said this, the two brothers were shocked!

"not good!"

As if to prove Li You's words, suddenly dozens of soldiers in full armor rushed in from outside the hall where the two met, and immediately surrounded Li You and others.

"Who are you from?"

"I don't know if this is the Shence Mansion!"

"Trespassing on the palace is a capital offense!"

Facing the menacing black-armored soldiers, Li Chuang stood up and stood in front of Li You.

It's a pity that Li Chuang and the lieutenant general's swords were all handed over at the gatehouse just now, otherwise it would not be difficult for Li Chuang to rush out of the crowd with his force.

However, in the face of Li Chuang's questioning, these black-armored soldiers did not say a word, but silently pointed their weapons at the few people surrounded.

There was a silence of more than ten seconds in the hall, which was suddenly broken by a voice: "King Liang, I advise you to save some effort. Although I know you are brave, bare hands should not be our opponent."

With the sound of speaking, three figures appeared behind the black armored soldier.

Perhaps because they were afraid of Li Chuang's force, the three stopped when they were twenty steps away from Li Chuang.

Seeing the person who spoke, Li Chuang didn't understand that he was being tricked today.

"You false messenger, after seeing me go out, I won't show you any good looks!"

Li Chuang was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li You.

"Hou Junji, Songtsan Gampo, Princess Bao, what do you mean by doing this!"

It turned out that it was the three of Hou Junji who appeared in front of Li You at this moment.

It wasn't until this time that Li Chuang knew that the envoy who lied to him was Tubo Zamp Songtsen Gampo.

Although Songtsen Gampo's troops were defeated by Li Chuang, he never met Li Chuang himself.

Afterwards, although the two of them went to court together, Li Chuang, whose eyes were above the top, never looked directly at the defeated general. It was precisely because of this that Songtsan Gambo disguised himself a little and Li Chuang did not kill him. recognize.

After hearing Li You's question, although Hou Junji was a little nervous, he still did not change his character and said: "Master Jian Guo, we have no other purpose in coming this time, we want Master Jian Guo to welcome the crown prince with us. The eldest son Yue Wang Li Xiang is the grandson of the emperor and will inherit the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty in the future."

What Hou Junji was talking about now was the strategy Songtsan Gampo and Princess Bao came up with. Since Li Chengqian was hopeless, they had to take the initiative in their own hands before Li Shimin re-appointed the crown prince.

For this reason, Li Chengqian's eldest son, Li Xiang, king of Yue, appeared in their eyes.

Now that Li Xiang is still a child, he will definitely obey them. After ascending the throne in the future, these three people will surely enjoy endless glory and wealth.

The two brothers Li You and Li Chuang stood in front of Li Xiang, so they made another plan to lure Li Chuang to the Shence Mansion while the two were paralyzed and killed them all.

After hearing Hou Junji's words, Li You couldn't help laughing and said, "Chen Guogong, do you believe what you say?"

"If we really leave a handbook saying that we want to support the king of Yue as the grandson of the emperor, will you really spare us?"

Hearing this, a cruel smile appeared on Hou Junji's face.

Now that the matter has progressed, Hou Junji knew that he could not turn back, so naturally his mentality also changed.

"Of course not, but if the two princes are willing to leave a written order, we can still protect the family members of the palace."

This time, Hou Junji told the truth.

After dealing with the two, they had to go face to face with the saint to "convince" Li Shimin to make Li Xiang the emperor's grandson.

So naturally he wouldn't go too far.

Hou Junji has experience in this matter, so he naturally has a sense of proportion.
