Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 119
The more Li Jiancheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand why his father suddenly showed signs of anger because he was loyal to state affairs.

I don't understand!
After thinking about it, Li Jiancheng ordered someone to call Liu Wenjing to discuss what happened today.

After Liu Wenjing finished listening, she looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you know what is your majesty's age this year?"

"How do you ask this?" Li Jiancheng was a little confused.

"Don't your Highness know?" Liu Wenjing asked again.

"How come you don't know." Li Jiancheng said like a treasure: "Now that I am old, my father is about two years old."

After a pause, he said impatiently, "What are you asking Gu these for?"

Liu Wenjing nodded, and said: "Yes, the saint only tasted the sweetness of the cup of imperial power at the age of fifty. And what about Your Highness?"

Li Jiancheng was stunned in place like a lightning strike for a moment.

Seeing this, Liu Wenjing knew that Li Jiancheng understood, he sighed, and said: "The sage does not allow His Highness to meddle in external affairs, but he is afraid. Moreover, King Changping is the commander who personally decided to go to Zhu Can by the sage. If this matter If there is a mistake, doesn’t that mean that the sage is wrong?”

The double blow made Li Jiancheng sweat like rain.

"I have never been disobedient!"

"The saint naturally knows, otherwise His Highness wouldn't be here tonight." Liu Wenjing reminded: "Your Highness, a saint is a saint after all. The word Junfu means the king comes first and the father comes after."

Gollum.

Li Jiancheng swallowed his saliva, leaning on Yanghe dejectedly.

"Gu is only planning for the country, and never thought of not being a minister!"

"It is precisely because of this that the sage did not pursue it." Liu Wenjing continued: "Your Highness supervises the government, which is what His Majesty wants to see. His Highness intervenes in the army, which is not what His Majesty wants to see. Your Highness, you need to think more about things in the future, so as not to The Sacred Heart is unhappy."

The bright and clear moonlight was like frost, falling on the hem of the silk garment, which was painted with golden black patterns.Li Jiancheng just stared at the clothes in a daze, and only sighed after a long time.

"The reason why I persuaded my father to prevent Uncle Changping from attacking Zhu Can is because I hope to keep Shangzhou. If Uncle Changping loses in Shangzhou, Zhu Can will threaten the pass. Now, my Tang soldiers Ma Yuanzheng is everywhere, and the situation is not good for us."

Liu Wenjing said: "I know His Highness is worried, and I know His Highness is right to think, but the saint chooses to believe in King Changping. Therefore, I feel that His Highness does not need to worry about this matter, because the saint may be concerned about this matter after this incident. , can’t listen to His Highness’s advice.”

"Are we just sitting back and watching the war get out of control?" Li Jiancheng asked.

Liu Wenjing lamented in her heart, this is where the prince is helpless.On the one hand, he understands the mind of the saint, but on the other hand, he is also worried about state affairs.However, these two things still conflict, which can be regarded as a deadlock.

"Since Your Highness is so worried about Shangzhou, why don't you ask the saints to send more troops to Shangzhou? It's safer."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, "Currently all armies are fighting in various places, and Chang'an is relatively empty. It is wrong to send soldiers and horses out at this time."

Liu Wenjing found that the prince was really worried about everything and wanted to intervene in everything, but he couldn't handle everything well.

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness, there are still [-] soldiers and horses under the command of the King of Chu. Now the King of Chu is ordered to escort food and grass to Hebei, and those [-] soldiers and horses have been in Guanzhong all along."

King of Chu?

Li Jiancheng suddenly remembered that his younger brother did indeed have [-] troops under his command, and they were soldiers from the direct line of the King of Chu who had been following the King of Chu since the rise of Jinyang, and their combat power was quite impressive.

"You mean, let Gu suggest to the emperor to send the king of Chu to Shangzhou to help?"

"No." Liu Wenjing shook her head.

"No?" Li Jiancheng was puzzled, he didn't understand what Liu Wenjing meant.

Liu Wenjing's eyes flashed, and she said, "Your Highness, the king of Chu is burdened with the burden of escorting food and grass, how can he change it without authorization. I suggest that Your Highness should persuade the sage to send Lujiang King Li Yuan to lead the army to support Shangzhou."

Li Yuan!

Li Jiancheng's pupils shrank, and he suddenly understood what Liu Wenjing meant.

Suggesting that Li Yuan support Shangzhou, it is possible for Li Yuan to pass.Because Li Yuan belonged to the clan, this status alone gave him the opportunity to take over the military power.

From his current team, although there are people who are more suitable than Li Yuan, they don't have Li Yuan's innate advantages.

However, when Li Jiancheng came back to his senses, he hesitated and said, "It's just that, I'm worried that King Chu will be dissatisfied. Besides, didn't you say that the father is afraid of Gu's meddling in the army?"

After all, it was the [-] soldiers of the direct line that the King of Chu had been controlling since he raised his troops in Jinyang. Not only the King of Chu recognized it, but the military department of the imperial court had also made a list.Although it belongs to Datang in name, it actually belongs to the private part of King Chu.

The disadvantages of the Fubing system are revealed at this moment.

The [-] soldiers and horses under the King of Chu only recognize the King of Chu as the military leader, and in the [-] army, from the generals to the officers at the bottom, they all only recognize the King of Chu.

If it is suggested that Li Yuan lead [-] troops to support Shangzhou, it is clearly taking the military power of the King of Chu.

Liu Wenjing naturally knew this, and he said: "Your Highness can explain to the King of Chu afterwards that it is only a temporary requisition, not a robbery. Besides, if the saint agrees, the King of Chu has nothing to do. Another point, His Highness thinks that the King of Lujiang is worthy of Cultivation, or the king of Chu is more trustworthy?"

"As for intervening in the army, Your Highness, it is not you who intervene in the army, but the clan Lujiang King. Li Xiaogong and the others have military power, but this does not prevent them from making good friends with King Chu and King Qin. Your Highness, you must understand this."

Li Jiancheng couldn't answer Liu Wenjing's question.

Because the answer is obvious, of course Li Yuan is worth cultivating.

Before that, he had tried to get close to the King of Chu many times, but the King of Chu was always indifferent.And Li Yuan was his confidant from the very beginning.

Li Jiancheng got up and walked back and forth in the hall, his hurried body language showed his inner entanglement.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Wenjing's suggestion, and this was the best time to cultivate his strength in the army.The soldiers and horses under King Chu's command are quite impressive, almost comparable to the soldiers and horses under King Qin's command.

However, if he really did this, the king of Chu would definitely be dissatisfied with him. If the king of Chu completely leaned on the king of Qin at that time, it would be a bad move.

More importantly, the king of Chu is the son of his father, and the art of war in the clan has a faint tendency to be the number one under the king of Qin.

Is it really okay for him to offend King Chu at this time?

Seeing that the prince was struggling, Liu Wenjing said in a timely manner: "Your Highness, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds in this world. If there is gain, there will be loss. Moreover, I think Your Highness can use this matter to tell the King of Chu a truth."

"What's the reason?" Li Jiancheng stopped and looked at Liu Wenjing.

"Who is the lord of the East Palace, and who is the prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Liu Wenjing said: "I know His Highness is wooing the King of Chu, but the King of Chu has never responded. I think that His Highness has shown 'graciousness', and now it is time Show 'Wei'."

"Only when grace and power are combined can people be convinced."

"Both kindness and power." Li Jiancheng murmured, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a pause, Li Jiancheng sat down in front of Liu Wenjing again, and asked, "If Li Yuan's support is insufficient, will Uncle Changping still be defeated?"

Liu Wenjing whispered: "Your Highness can let King Lujiang walk more slowly on the road. If King Changping is really defeated by then, His Highness just suggests that King Lujiang garrison Shangzhou. Take this opportunity to completely control King Chu's [-] troops. "

hiss!
This sentence completely made Li Jiancheng make up his mind.

Because, once things are successful, no matter what, he will earn blood!
