The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 517 Refusal to Borrow Soldiers
Chapter 517 Refusal to Borrow Soldiers
Li Jing originally wanted to help Li Er save the situation, but Bai Jingyi completely ignored him as soon as he turned his head.

Li Jing felt bitter in his heart, he just felt that he had touched his nose, so he had to honestly leave the White Mansion, go back to the imperial city, and return to Li Er.

When Li Er saw Li Jing, he immediately went up to him.

Before Li Jing could speak, he first asked: "What did Bai Jingyi say, did he say to fight or not?! Will he lend me his Beiliang army?"

Hearing what Li Er said, Li Jing felt a severe headache: "This... the king of Beiliang didn't say anything, he only said that the Beiliang army guarded the border areas and would only go north to fight the Turkic barbarians, so naturally they would not care about the south. ..."

What Li Jing said was much more tactful than what Bai Jingyi said, but when Li Er heard this, he was still so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "What does he mean? He doesn't want to care about it?"

"The king of Beiliang probably just wants to say that his current focus is on the north, and he has no time to take care of southern affairs."

After a while, Li Er calmed down: "Did he say anything else?"

Li Jing reported truthfully: "Yes, the King of Northern Liang said that you can discuss matters related to the south with all the officials, and let them give you some advice."

"It makes sense, then let all the officials go to the court to discuss this matter, what does Ai Qing think?"

Li Er looked at Li Jing, and Li Jing felt terrified when he saw it: "I think this matter should be worked together, let other adults discuss together, how to deal with this matter."

"Then let the ministers go to court!"

On the other side, the princes of the southern vassal states were no happier than Li Er.

The well-informed princes soon received the news that Li Er had new evidence, and the new evidence Li Er possessed happened to be the key evidence that could prove their participation in the assassination.

Upon hearing this sad news, the entire southern vassal state immediately became panic-stricken, fearing that Li Er would find out about them in the next second and send troops to attack them.

It was precisely because of this that the princes of the southern vassal states could no longer care about pleasure. After discussing with each other, they immediately decided on a place. Everyone gathered together as quickly as possible to discuss countermeasures.

"If you ask me, the Holy Majesty will definitely not send troops south at this moment!" said a prince.

"What are you thinking! We did such a thing, would the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty want to kill us? You don't really think that the emperor can endure such a thing!" Another prince slapped the table to retort road.

"That's right, this kind of thing is basically challenging the imperial power! We are an assassinated royal family, and we are not just causing riots. If it was just creating riots, then the emperor might not send troops to attack us on purpose, but..."

"Yeah, after all, this is a serious crime that implicates the Nine Clans, we should run away!"

Some cowardly princes, the more they say this, the more frightened they become.

Although they are reluctant to part with their territory and the gold and silver treasures on the territory.But if life is gone, let alone gold, silver and jewelry, there is no chance of making a comeback!

Therefore, they should run away before Li Er sent troops!

However, if there is a prince who is very worried, there will naturally be a prince with a big heart.

"If you want me to say, we don't need to run at all. What should we do? We should eat and drink. There is nothing to worry about. Isn't it just a few small evidences? We are far away from the emperor today, and we are afraid that he will what?"

"That's right. If you want me to say, there is no need to be afraid. Our southern vassal state is so far away and the waterway is impassable. Even if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to attack us and occupy our territory, he will not be able to fight!"

"That's right, and at this time of year, I don't know how long it will take to wait for the army to come. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"Besides, the current news is just that there is evidence related to the assassination, but it's hard to say what kind of evidence. Look at what you all look like like this."

"I think what you said is wrong. Let me see, we shouldn't run away. Doesn't it prove that this matter has something to do with us? We only run when we feel guilty. If we don't run, we won't be caught." Suspect!"

"that is!"

"I think so too!"

The lords of the southern vassal states talked to each other, and the quarrel was very lively. Except for the quarreling ones, there were also many lords who remained silent.

Some of them don't know what to do now, and some want to see the situation and see what the other princes think.

But all the princes present were worried that their own interests would be damaged.After all, having lived to this age and possessing so much power and property, no matter what, it is impossible to give them up casually.

Ever since, these princes quarreled for a whole day, and they didn't agree until the end.

Half of the princes planned to run away, the farther the better, and it would be best if Li Er could not catch them for the rest of his life.

The other half of the princes planned to return to their own territory. If Li Er sent troops south, they would fight Li Er to the end.What's more, as long as they don't run away, maybe Li Er won't come to trouble them, and they can still sit in this position safely. On the contrary, if they really run away, it is equivalent to not fighting. Self-invoked, directly pocketed himself out.

And in the White House.

Bai Jingyi soon received a letter from the Shadow Guard, and the letter was full of remarks from the secret meeting of the kings of the southern vassals.

They thought they were hiding the truth and no one knew about their secret meeting, but they still never thought that Bai Jingyi would know everything they said during the meeting.

As early as when these princes left Chang'an, Bai Jingyi asked the Shadow Guard to follow them and monitor their every move.

And now it happens to use the chess pieces that were laid out at the beginning.

Those lords were able to get the news that Li Er had obtained the evidence, which Bai Jingyi really did not expect.

But this not only shows that Li Er's prevention work is not very good, but also that there are many traitors and eyeliners from the princes of the southern vassal states in the imperial city.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for those princes to get the news so quickly. Even if they heard some rumors, it would be impossible for the princes of the southern vassal states to know such details as Li Er had obtained the evidence.

But this has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the southern vassal state at all. This kind of matter is a headache for Li Er and the officials under him. He only needs to deal with the problems of the barbarians in the north. it is good.

It won't be too late for him to deal with these princes after dealing with the affairs of the north.
