Datang: I was tricked by the system

Chapter 263 To fight, or not to fight?

"What's the matter?"

Fang Xuanling spoke in time, alleviating Li Shimin's embarrassment, and quickly turned to ask.

Fang Xuanling held up two memorials and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, this memorial to the battle is not in the handwriting of Duke Wei."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin showed doubts, and hurriedly asked someone to submit the memorial. After some comparison, he confirmed Fang Xuanling's words and judged the owner of the handwriting.

"What is Duke Shen's intention? Why is he asking His Majesty to launch a war in the name of Duke Wei?"

This is incomprehensible.

Zhang Liang sneered and said, "Even if the person who asked His Majesty to start the war was not Wei Guogong, what Shen Guogong said may not be true. On the contrary, Wei Guogong knew that Li Yi had blatantly invaded Cheng Ji. How can I be ashamed of Datang for not saying a word?"

Speaking of the latter, Zhang Liang was filled with righteous indignation.

"Your Majesty clearly only asked Li Jing to help Li Yi attack Tubo, but Li Jing actually disregarded His Majesty's order and followed Li Yi to Chengji. In addition, he even willingly helped Li Yi escort food and grass."

"In my opinion, Duke Wei may not be loyal to His Majesty anymore."

Li Shimin's face darkened severely.

Although what Zhang Liang said was not pleasant, it made people have to think about it, and some of the words were true.

Could it be that Li Jing really had a rebellious heart?
"I said, can you label others as treason at every turn?" Chai Shao stared and said coldly. "If you want to rebel, you have already rebelled. Why wait now, you don't want to sow discord here, so as not to chill everyone's heart."

"That's right. If Duke Xun feels that Duke Wei is not doing well, he can ask His Majesty to replace you."

Duan Zhixuan agreed.

You do what you want, don't be so blind!
Li Shimin rubbed his temples, facing the smoky court every day, really made him very tired.

……

Besides Cheng Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing are drinking and chatting with Li Yi at this time.

"I said Emperor Yi, it's a bit immoral for you to snatch Cheng Ji away without saying a word. It's hard for me, old Cheng, to do this."

Li Jing nodded at the side, and echoed, "Lu Guogong is right, Cheng Ji is lost, and it's hard to explain when we go back."

Li Jing is not willing to be an enemy of Li Yi unless it is a last resort, but if Li Yi insists on grabbing Cheng Ji, then he can only bite the bullet.

Li Yi was playing with the wine glass, and when he heard what Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing said, he smiled playfully, "Who said that the emperor wants to become a discipline?"

When the two of them heard the words, their eyes lit up immediately, "Let me just say, our Emperor Yi would not do such a thing..."

Before Cheng Yaojin could finish his words, he heard Li Yi's playful voice say, "Emperor Cheng Ji doesn't like me, I want the whole Longyou area."

The smiles of Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing suddenly froze on their faces, and the wine glasses in their hands dropped on the table, and after turning around several times, they stopped steadily.

"Yihuang, you are joking."

"No." Li Yi replied seriously, a personal relationship is a personal relationship, but since Longyou has been delivered to him, there is absolutely no reason not to want it.

The corner of Cheng Yaojin's mouth twitched, "Yihuang, aren't you cheating on me, old Cheng? I can't afford to lose even a Chengji, let alone the whole Longyou. If this matter is passed back, His Majesty will know, I Don't even want the head of Lao Cheng's neck."

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin felt extremely bitter.

How did he get such a head-scratching errand?

Li Jing's complexion was not much better. Even though he had guessed it, he was still shocked when he heard Li Yi say it himself.

Clenching his hands subconsciously, the two villains in his mind were at war with each other.

To fight, or not to fight?

"Since it's not easy to deal with business, then the two of you will follow the emperor, and the treatment will definitely not be worse than what Li Shimin gave you."

The two smiled wryly at the same time, "You should spare us, I can't do the treasonous thing."

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, was kind to them, and they would share weal and woe with him for the rest of their lives, and they would never rebel if they rebelled.

"Those two, please go ahead. The people have just experienced the suffering of a disaster. If you are willing to let them suffer from the war, you can attack the emperor's army at any time."

"If you don't fight, go back and report to Li Shimin." In short, Longyou is determined.

"How can we beat you?" Cheng Yaojin said bitterly, "For the sake of our friendship for so many years, you can return Longyou to us."

Li Yi picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in it, and said: "Come on, don't say that the emperor didn't give you a chance, you can ask the people in Longyou, if they are still willing to be citizens of the Great Tang, Then I can give up here, if they don't want to be your citizens of Tang Dynasty, then I can't blame the emperor."

As for the people's choice, Li Yi knew it well, in order to let Cheng Yaojin and the others have an explanation, he still gave them a chance.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing looked at each other bitterly.

Not to mention that the people in the Longyou region were saved by Li Yi, even they, if they were just ordinary people, would choose Li Yi, after all, the living conditions of the people in Youtang are much better than theirs.

As long as you are not a fool, you will know how to choose.

"Thank you Emperor Yi." The two cupped their hands and got up to say goodbye.

No matter what the result is, at least Yihuang can be regarded as pointing out a way for them. Although it is still difficult to do business when they go back, they still have to do what needs to be done.

The two left the mansion where Li Yi lived, and came to the place where Gao Shilian served porridge. They wanted to ask the public, but found that there was no one in the porridge shed.

"Shen Guogong, where have all the people gone?"

Gao Shilian's face was dark and ugly, and he sighed before answering: "At first, some people came over, but when they saw the gruel in the bowl, they left one after another."

This is not counting.

What made Gao Shilian most angry was that the people not only refused to drink the porridge they donated, but even insulted him, and even scolded His Majesty.

"This group of people really don't know what's good and what's wrong. It's good to drink porridge, but they dare to think that the porridge is thin and the buns are small. This is really annoying."

Li Jing sighed, "You two are here for the first time, and you probably don't know the situation here, you should go somewhere with me and talk about it after you finish reading."

Li Jing didn't explain, and led them directly into the cafeteria.

The food in the cafeteria is provided free of charge throughout the day, including meat and vegetables, balanced nutrition, white rice, white flour steamed buns, meat buns, no matter which one is taken out, it is better than the porridge served in the simple porridge shed they built attractive.

From Li Jing's point of view, there was nothing more shabby than their porridge in this cafeteria.

What the common people eat in the cafeteria can catch up with the abundance of ordinary people in a year, so the fools go back to drink their thin porridge that doesn't have much rice.

"This... Li Yi is really extravagant!"

[Thank you for your support, thank you for the gifts, and hope that all good things will happen to everyone. In addition, I wish the little brother "Nian Shi only" a happy birthday. Although it is a bit late, I still hope you are happy every day and your wishes come true! 】
