Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 55 055 It's a pity

In the residence of the prime minister, two important ministers of Zhenguan sat opposite each other, sipping tea and discussing Taoism.

"I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Shu is not only excellent in martial arts, but also far superior to ordinary people in terms of intelligence and calculation!"

Fang Xuanling sighed.

Du Ruhui took a sip of tea, and smiled leisurely: "The person your housekeeper values ​​is naturally extraordinary! This His Royal Highness Shu Wang can be said to be a young hero, and what he has done these days, which one is not an earth-shattering event?"

Fang Xuanling nodded. As soon as Li Ke arrived in Shu, he caused a riot among the villagers, killing the gentry in Shu, and then killing his eldest grandson Wuji, who is still out of town and dare not return to Beijing. .Two days ago, Chang'an was besieged, and he descended from the sky again, killing Jieli angrily and defeating the Turks.

Each and every one of these is a shocking act!
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most outstanding and wise among the princes.

To put it more seriously, even if other princes are tied together, they may not be able to defeat him.

"Unfortunately……"

Fang Xuanling sighed, but did not finish speaking.

But Du Ruhui has already picked it up: "Unfortunately, his mother and concubine is Concubine Yang..."

Concubine Yang is of the blood of the previous dynasty. This Li Ke's double royal blood should have been the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the more expensive the more the more expensive.

But this bloodline also brought troubles to his struggle for succession.

This Great Tang was the world that was obtained only after reversing the former Sui Dynasty. All the officials in the court were enemies of the former Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, if he wants to fight for the throne, there are bound to be people who oppose him.They were worried that Li Kezhong would do something ahead of time, and took the opportunity to avenge his mother's line.

This kind of worry is nonsense. Li Ke is the son of Li Shimin, so he is naturally from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it is impossible to go back to the past.

But he couldn't stand the fact that some people were overwhelmed, so he had many thoughts about Li Ke seizing his wife.

The first to bear the brunt is the Guanlong Group led by Changsun Wuji.

Of course, this is also the reason why Fang, Du and others support Li Ke.They want to use Li Ke to bring down the Guanlong Group and seek more political capital for themselves.

Du Ruhui put down the teacup, paused for a moment, and then said: "Should we... want to talk to His Highness the King of Shu?"

His eyes were bright, and he was clearly thinking.

How could Fang Xuanling not know what Du Ruhui was thinking?
He had wanted to discuss with Li Ke a long time ago about gentry affairs. They didn't want Li Ke to spread the riots to the whole country. At least, they didn't want Li Ke to use the rioters to mess up their own family.

But Fang Xuanling was a cautious person, he would not be the first to bring up such words.

After wiping his beard, Fang Xuanling seemed indifferent and said: "Since Du Xiang has such an idea, Fang will accompany Du Xiang on a trip to meet the King of Shu!"

Du Ru gave Fang Xuanling a blank look, and muttered, "You old man, why are you so reserved!"

He patted the table again, pretending to be angry: "How about I go to the King of Shu alone, and you can enjoy tea in peace at the mansion!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling hurriedly grabbed Du Ruhui and said, "Brother Du, don't be angry. I'll just go with you... together..."

The two sat down again, looked at each other with a smile, and blamed each other for being a "spirit" and an "old man".

……

Longyou, the residence of the eldest grandson.

This is the old house of the Changsun family, and it is also the base of the Changsun family's fortune.

Ever since he was entrapped by Li Ke's plan and defeated by the rioters last time, Changsun Wuji has been hiding here, resting and recuperating, and at the same time secretly controlling the overall situation, commanding Chang'an's Guanlong Group to deal with Li Ke.

But obviously, he failed again this time.

In the lobby, Changsun Wuji slapped the table with a sinister look on his face.

"Li Ke, I let you win again!"

"I just defeated your hope of being promoted to the crown prince, but I didn't expect you to plan to drive Chengqian out of Chang'an!"

His chest heaved and he let out a few heavy breaths before he settled down.

After crumpling the letters on the table and throwing them on the ground, Changsun Wuji immediately picked up the map beside him.

His hand moved north from Longyou, and finally settled in a border town.

"Liangzhou!"

Immediately afterwards, Changsun Wuji moved north and west again, and set his hands on the location where Tuyuhun and Liang Shidu were located.

With a cold snort, Changsun Wuji said to himself: "What a young talent, he is worthy of being a dragon and phoenix among people with dual royal blood, literary talent and military strategy, all of them are first-class in the world!"

"But... I, the Guanlong Group, are not easy to mess with!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji had calmed down from his previous anger. Although Li Chengqian was driven to Liangzhou, although it was a major setback, it was clear that Li Shimin had not lost confidence in him.

Li Shimin knew very well how close Liangzhou was to Longyou, and Li Shimin was also very clear about the connection between Li Chengqian and Longyou.

Under such circumstances, he still chose to send Li Chengqian to Liangzhou. In fact, he hoped that Li Chengqian would do something good under the protection of the Guanlong Group.

Changsun Wuji is confident that he can help Li Chengqian to turn himself over in Liangzhou and even reach a higher level.

The day for Li Chengqian to leave the capital came soon. When the prince left the capital, as usual, the emperor and his ministers had to see each other off.

On this day, Li Shimin led the officials of Chang'an to Jinguangmen, the west gate of Chang'an, to bid farewell to Li Chengqian.

The naming of this Jinguang Gate is very particular. Among the five elements and four images, the west refers to the white tiger, which also corresponds to "gold". Both of them are the signs of killing the golden sword.Therefore, most of the war-related departments in the court are located in the west.This west gate is named Jinguang, which means an iron horse and a golden sword, which means fighting in all directions.

Li Chengqian's journey to the west this time is also inextricably related to the battle on the battlefield.

Li Chengqian had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew very well that this trip out of Beijing was all thanks to Li Ke.

If it weren't for Li Ke, he would still be his quasi-prince in Chang'an, enjoying peace and happiness.

He looked down on Li Ke from the bottom of his heart, so it was a shame for him to be knocked down by Li Ke.

This shame transformed in Li Chengqian's heart, turning into hatred and anger towards Li Ke, and also into a warning to himself.

He hated Li Ke, so of course he wanted to find a chance to win back, and then stepped on Li Ke heavily.

With this expectation, he began to look forward to his future life.Liangzhou is not a good place for pleasure, but it is a gilded monastery.

There will never be a shortage of wars there, and there will never be a shortage of opportunities for Li Chengqian to reappear in the ears of his father.

As long as he makes some achievements in Liangzhou, he is confident that with the prestige of his mother, the strength of the eldest grandson's family, and the power of the Guanlong Group, he will definitely be able to return to Chang'an.

And Longyou's power is enough to guarantee that he will not be alone during his trip to Liangzhou.Behind him, there are a large number of followers and supporters.

He believed that when he returned to Chang'an and regained Li Shimin's trust, it would not be too far away.

By then, he will trample Li Ke heavily under his feet.

Clenching his fist, he clenched his teeth hard.

"Li Ke, you wait for me, I will defeat you completely and get back what belongs to me!"
