The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Chapter 186 Playing Chess with the Emperor

Tiandaozong led a hundred riders along the Nanshan Mountain deep into the enemy's belly, and after firmly remembering the terrain of the mountains and rivers, he set up the camp in a convenient place for formation to prevent accidents.

"If you go back this time, let Manager Zhang insist on promoting you."

Xue Li didn't refuse. This time he was able to go deep into the thief's land smoothly, thanks to Xue Li's leadership.

Counting the time, the date of return is important. Because the emperor was worried about his safety, Tiandaozong made an appointment with the emperor when he came out.

"Brother Xue contributed a lot to being able to go so smoothly."

"The prince has raised his servants."

Just as they were about to pull out their camp and retreat, only one scout cavalry in the distance came back.

Tian Daozong and Xue Li hurried out after hearing the news, the returning scout was covered with bruises and blood dripping all the way into the camp, this drop of blood every ten feet implied that his blood was almost exhausted and he was carried back by a horse.

The scout opened his eyes angrily, wanting to convey the last message, but the underworld didn't give him this chance to be loyal.

"This…"

Xue Li watched, looked around at the dead comrade on the horse, and at the line along the blood on the ground.

"No, it's Goryeo. The prince must retreat quickly, and the camp should be abandoned."

Xue Li saw that the arrow feathers on the man's back were the same as the weapon he knew, which was unique to Goryeo.

"Korea?" Tian Daozong was shocked, they acted cautiously, they should not have been discovered.

"Now they're definitely cutting off the way back."

Before they could find a way to retreat, a team from Goryeo followed the blood trail.

He had no choice but to resist, "My lord, we will cover your retreat."

Goryeo only came with a team, but it also severely damaged Baiqi.

"How to retreat, the thief has cut off the retreat."

There is no way to retreat, it doesn't matter if Tiandaozong himself dies, he is afraid that he will live up to the trust of the emperor.

Xue Li held a lance in his hand and was fighting against the Goryeo army. He didn't want to die here or be captured.

This was the first actual battle, and it was also the first time he killed people. Afterwards, there were troops from Goryeo one after another, and there were still large troops behind, Xue Li knew it well.

At the end of the battle, Baiqi had fallen, only Xue Li and Tiandaozong remained.

Today, Xue Li had dozens of lives in his hands. He looked at the spear in his hand, and the empty basket in the bow and arrow basket.

His face and body were splattered with the enemy's blood, which made him almost vomit, and there were messy corpses lying on the ground.

"My lord, Li knows a small path, so retreat with me first."

Killing the last person from Goryeo, Tiandaozong followed Xue Li and went the other way.

Tiandaozong looked at the 100 people who came out with him, and secretly swore that he would never give up if he refused to repay Goryeo.

"How are you?" The horses never stopped running, they were running for their lives, Tian Daozong looked at Xue Li with a bad expression.

Xue Li shook her head, fighting on the battlefield. She had already been mentally prepared for this, but she never thought it would be so cruel. She had seen bullying fights in Hedong, and executions on the execution ground, but nothing like this cruel.

When Xue Li picked up the bow and shot at the heads of the Goryeo soldiers behind Tiandaozong, Xue Li's whole body was trembling.But he knew that he couldn't go back, and his hands were already stained with blood.Also let him know that the battlefield is a place where humanity is destroyed.

"How do you know such a way?"

"When I was studying, I read the military books of various parties, so I also learned about the terrain of Liaodong before I came to the Eastern Expedition."

Tian Daozong sighed deeply, as if he was afraid, "Fortunately, I brought you out, otherwise, that would be my burial place today."

The imperial court, mainly composed of Xiao Yutian Xiaogong and other clans staying in Luoyang, is now quite active.

News of Zhang Liang's victory in Pyongyang also spread to the Dasu court.

In the court hall, before leaving, the emperor made a special decree that King Tianzhe of England was allowed to participate in the government and learn from others when he was twelve years old.

Then the person acting as the supervisor of the country became a 12-year-old boy, but the empress was still in charge, with Hejian County King and Xiao Yu in charge, and Zheng Bai's two families as assistants.

"The case of Zhang Liang means that the Dasu attack on Goryeo is inevitable. Prince... Your Highness, what do you think of this matter?"

If Goguryeo is taken down, it will be a great achievement of the emperor in terms of political achievements, and these officials will not be ignorant of what the emperor will do when he comes back.

The Son of Heaven was the first to conquest himself, put down the Six Edicts, executed Li Yu when he came back, and then cut off the left and right arms of Zheng Bai and the other two parties.

So this time when I come back, I still don't know what to do with the Zheng and Bai families.

Not long after Tian Wuhen left, Zhengzhou privately contacted Zhuang Wang, who had been named King Jin a few years ago.

If the Son of Heaven wants to give the throne to Tian Zhe, then it is necessary to weaken Zheng Bai, and it is inevitable to get rid of Tian Yucheng.

In the court hall, King Jin, who had not been to the court for many years, now stood in the court hall in a purple jade belt python robe, ranking first among all officials.

Tian Zhe was on the bright platform, beside the luxurious woman, full of displeasure.

In the 12 years in the palace, if someone in the palace hadn't mentioned it, he would have already forgotten his biological father, but now this biological father whom he hadn't seen for many years suddenly stood in front of him, and a trace of fear flashed in his heart.

The so-called emperor uncle in his mouth, he has long regarded as his father, and Tian Wuhen's love for him and his sister can be seen, and he is grateful from the bottom of his heart.

The sons and daughters of the royal family are sensible early. Tianzhe knows where he is, and always remembers the emperor's teachings to him.

Faced with King Jin's questioning, the courtiers knew it was disrespectful, but Tian Xiaogong didn't speak, and even Xiao Yu was silent. Since the two old officials are deeply used by the emperor, they also have to look at the new crown prince. How will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince respond?

Tianzhe gently tugged at the corner of the queen's clothes. It was natural to be afraid. Facing his father who was fierce and fierce when he came up, his heart was more or less touched.

Bai Muxue shook his head. This child is pure in nature and too weak. He and her helped him clean up his troubles. He had really thought too much for Tian Zhe when he chose a daughter of the Wei family, who was a low-ranking daughter in the family, to be his wife. many.

"You must remember that you are the crown prince, the future emperor of Dasu, and no one in the world can control you or threaten you!"

This matter has to be handled by Tian Zhe himself, after all, she and he will not guard him in this deep palace forever.

Tianzhe nodded, "Goguryeo was rude first, and the Holy Majesty personally conquered it. It is inevitable that it will be taken down, but among the inevitability, it is the wisdom of the Holy Majesty's arrangement, not the general trend!"

Speaking such words from a 12-year-old boy surprised all the officials.This is a bit like when the emperor was young.For a moment, all the ministers almost thought that the king of England might be born of the emperor.

Tian Yucheng raised his eyebrows tightly, raised his head and opened his eyes angrily. He hated this child from the bottom of his heart.

After the court, Zhengzhou found King Jin, "My lord and Xiang Wang are very close, and I think my lord knows the current situation in the court."

"What's the hurry, do you think he will really get rid of you?"

"No, it's just..."

"Don't worry, let alone whether Liaodong can be won, even if she wins the Southwest nail, how will she get rid of it? Chaozhong, she won't do it so quickly." The death of another guard general on the southwestern Tubo border shocked the officials even more.

Tian Yucheng squeezed the cup, as if his previous decadence had flown away.

Zhengzhou is still uneasy: "It also means that he will get rid of us after all."

Tian Yucheng looked at Zhengzhou, these ministers are all people who want to protect themselves and can do anything.

"Don't worry about King Xiang, you won't break your promise when we go to Bai's house."

Zhengzhou nodded, saying that he covered the sky with one hand, but he also wanted to guard against the emperor and the Bai family.Xiangwang is the person that the emperor is staring at. Most of the famous song workshops and brothels in Luoyang and Chang'an are actually owned by the royal family, and the person behind the scenes is Xiangwang.

The concerns of the Bai family and Zhengzhou are not much different, but their ways of going are different.

"Brother Wei! Are you free to come to my grand master's mansion today?"

"Brother Bai!"

Many people from Guanzhong came to Luoyang City today.

"I also want to thank Brother Bai, and the empress's grace." Wei Hongyi clasped his fists and shook his hand toward the sky as he spoke.

The Wei family and the Bai family are family friends, Wei Hongyi is the younger brother of the previous head of the family, Wei Hongbiao, and the current head of the family is his nephew Wei Xuanzhen, who is also the father of the future wife of the King of England.

The queen took a fancy to the daughter of the Wei family, which was ultimately advocated by the Bai family.Of course Tian Wuhen could see it, that's why he had been thinking about it for years, procrastinating and procrastinating, until his heart softened before he set out for the expedition.

What Bai Duan thinks is that the Wei family will grow bigger in the future, and remembering the old love, the Bai family can still preserve it.

"But I heard that Mr. Wei is close to King Xiang?"

Li Yuan's boss is Xiang Wang, which is known to several upper echelons in the court, and Wei Xuanzhen was stared to death by Bai Duan many years ago, but he himself does not know.

Wei Hongyi showed embarrassment, Wei Xuanzhen came into contact with King Xiang, and he was seeking to protect himself. Among the few princes in the court, except King Jin, only King Xiang was quite powerful.

It's just that one is in the light and the other is in the dark, and the Wei family is also very good at judging people. King Xiang's city mansion is unmatched by King Jin.

"My nephew is romantic by nature, and I can't control him, but I will warn him when I get back, so please rest assured, Brother Bai."

The emperor personally promised that it was a certainty that the king of England would marry Webster. Webster's beauty and talent were among the best among young women, but his father was a hypocrite with good looks.If it wasn't for the whole of Webster behind him, it would be impossible for his daughter to look like a fairy.

After Wei Hongyi went back, Wei Xuanzhen did not let Wei Xuanzhen break up with King Xiang immediately. The emperor would watch, and so would his Wei family.

The Zhengbai two parties have been fighting for decades, and they are evenly matched, because the emperor is balancing, but the emperor is more inclined to the Bai family of the civil servants, but the Wei family dare not be planted under a tree. Well, the power of these two princes and one Taiwei is enough to cover half of Luoyang City.

The Wei family's chess depends on how the emperor plays, so that they can deal with the chess.

When Bai Dan came back from the Chongxian Hall, Bai Duan hurriedly called him to the study.

"Father!"

"Why did you come back so early today?"

"The girl from the Wei family has entered the palace, and His Highness will be announced."

Bai Duan deliberately ordered the Wei family's daughter into the palace, Bai Duan thought, there seems to be no room for maneuver in this matter.

"Shan Er."

"exist!"

"What do you think of the King?"

"Boy has taught the King of England for many years, I have to say that he has the demeanor of a sage, and His Highness is also smart, but..."

"But what..."

"My child thinks that His Royal Highness is too weak and lacks the cruelty of an emperor."

The emperor is not ruthless, which is excellent for his courtiers.

"If the emperor is not ruthless, the relatives will become bigger!"

"That's why Your Majesty and the Empress chose someone like the Wei family to assist them."

"fool!"

Bai Duan's sudden swearing surprised Bai Dan. This is the first time Bai Dan has seen his father get angry like this.

"Do you think the Wei family really has no ambitions?"

"I think they have great ambitions, and their calculations are clear! Just wait for the emperor to clear the court for the king of England. As long as the king of England ascends the throne, their Wei family..."

The next thing does not need to be explained in vain.

"But my father and I both hold important positions in the three provinces, His Majesty..."

Bai Duan shook his head, the Wei family matter was something he had preached in front of his daughter a few years ago, "I made the wrong move of the Wei family's move."

"Father, what should we do now?"

"King of England, it is not suitable to be a prince!"

Bai Dan's eyes lit up.

The name is not worthy of the name, if he has not been crowned prince for a day, then he is not a prince after all.

The author has something to say: Everyone wants to protect themselves, especially aristocratic families.

In history, the clans in the two major regions of the Tang Dynasty were too powerful, and the central government has always suppressed them.

The Liaodong War will not be written in too much detail, and there will probably be some small episodes in the middle.

Happy New Year, I love you guys!
