Chapter 190 Li Chengqian's Worry

Although Li Yuanchang is a prince, he doesn't hold any real power, and most of the reason he can run amok is Li Yuan's favor.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Li Yuanchang would like to use the power of courtiers, but Li Yuanchang has a greater help than any courtier-Prince Li Chengqian.

In terms of seniority, Li Yuanchang is the son of Li Yuan, while Li Chengqian is the grandson of Li Yuan, and Li Yuanchang is Li Chengqian's uncle, but Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian were born in the same year, and the age difference between them is only a few months.

Maybe it's because the age difference between the two is not too big, the two are also very close and have a very close relationship.

On the morning of the next day when Li Yuanchang met Ashinayun, Li Yuanchang felt very itchy, and hurried to the East Palace early in the morning.

"What's wrong with little Huangshu today? Why did you come to the East Palace to see me so early in the morning?" At this time when Li Chengqian was studying, the maidservant in the East Palace suddenly sent a message to the King of Han to ask for an audience. Li Chengqian immediately ordered someone to take Li Yuanchang to his study. asked clearly.

According to seniority, Li Yuanchang is Li Chengqian's uncle, and Li Chengqian should be called the emperor's uncle, but according to his age, Li Yuanchang is three months younger than Li Chengqian, so Li Chengqian called Li Yuanchang a little emperor's uncle.

Li Chengqian called Li Yuanchang the emperor's uncle, but Li Yuanchang did not dare to take it seriously in front of Li Chengqian, especially now that Li Yuanchang still has something to ask Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanchang bowed down and said: "I have something important to ask, and I hope the prince will help me."

Li Yuanchang grew up with Li Chengqian when they were young, and they had a close relationship with each other, and there were not so many rules when speaking in private. At this time, there was no outsider present here, and Li Yuanchang's sudden gift caught Li Chengqian a little off guard.

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yuanchang up, and said: "Little Huangshu please get up quickly, if you have something to say, you can get up and say it, what does this mean?"

Li Yuanchang said: "This matter is very important, I hope the prince will not refuse."

Li Yuanchang's actions made Li Chengqian more and more puzzled, but Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang had always been on good terms, so he would not easily refuse his request.

Li Chengqian said: "Little Huangshu, but please ask me, if it is within the power of this palace, I will help you."

Li Yuanchang said: "I fell in love with a woman yesterday and wanted to welcome her into the mansion, but I don't know how to speak, so I want to ask the prince to help me."

After hearing Li Yuanchang's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know what's the matter, so it's like this. It's a good thing that the little prince finds a good man. But I don't know which young lady in Beijing the little emperor fell in love with. If it is convenient, I would like to ask you It is also necessary for the queen mother to come forward."

Li Chengqian's mother is a queen, and she is not familiar with the mistresses of powerful families in Chang'an City. With the face of the empress Changsun and the wealth of Li Yuanchang's Han Palace, there is no woman who can't be said.

However, Li Yuanchang thought about it, but his face showed embarrassment, and he said to Li Chengqian: "I'm afraid the queen may not be willing to come forward in this matter, and the minister is not an ordinary girl."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian wondered, "Oh? I don't know what kind of woman it is, but she can make little Huangshu so caring?"

Li Yuanchang paused and replied: "The minister is Jie Li's daughter, Ashina Yun."

"Daughter of Jieli?" Li Chengqian called out in surprise after hearing Li Yuanchang's words.

Originally, Li Chengqian only thought that Li Yuanchang was in love with the daughter of a powerful family, or a daughter of a noble family, but he never expected that it was Ashinayun. Now Li Chengqian finally understood the reason why Li Yuanchang was so cautious.

Jieli is seriously ill and is in critical condition. Ashinayun came all the way from Yinshan Mountain to visit his father's illness. At this juncture, there is no way to talk about marriage.

Wouldn't it be difficult for someone to mention this matter at this time?Even Li Shimin would never agree.

What's more, Li Chengqian has another scruple, that is Li Ke.

There are rumors in Chang'an that Li Ke had congenial interests with Ashinayun when he was in Turkic, and secretly promised him for life. , wouldn't it be obvious to offend Li Ke?
Li Chengqian asked: "Do you know who Ashinayun is? When is it now? Why did you offend Saburo for a woman?"

Not only was the timing wrong to ask Ashinayun to marry him at this time, but it was really not worthwhile to offend Li Ke, who was in full swing, for a woman.

But at this time, Li Yuanchang's eyes were already full of Ashinayun's shadow, so he couldn't listen to other people's words.

Li Yuanchang said: "The king of Chu is just a concubine, and the prince is the eldest son. Sooner or later, the world belongs to the prince. Why should the prince be afraid of him?"

"I'm not afraid of him, it's just that this matter is quite inappropriate." Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head after hearing Li Yuanchang's words.

If you think about it carefully, Li Chengqian is not afraid of Li Ke. It's just that although Li Chengqian and Li Ke are fighting secretly, they haven't broken their faces in the open. If it's for a woman, Li Chengqian thinks it's not worth it.

However, Li Yuanchang came prepared. Li Yuanchang said to Li Chengqian: "Although the King of Chu is a bastard, he is extremely favored by His Majesty. Xiang is restless. He is eyeing the position of the East Palace. Could it be that His Highness can just watch it?" Does the king of Chu sit big?"

Li Chengqian was puzzled when he heard Li Yuanchang's words.

Whether Li Yuanchang can marry Ashinayun has nothing to do with Li Ke's position in the court.

Li Chengqian asked: "What does Uncle Huang mean?"

Li Yuanchang replied: "The King of Chu was a Turkic hostage when he was young, and he was very familiar with the leaders of the Turkic tribes. If Jieli passed away in the future, and the Turkic dragons had no leader, there must be many people in the Turkic tribes who took refuge in Li Ke. By then Li Ke His power will naturally increase, and it will be the crown prince who will be threatened by then."

Li Ke stayed in Turkic for four years when he was a teenager. In dealing with Turkic affairs, Li Ke's advantage is unmatched by anyone.There are quite a few Turkic people who are officials in Beijing and have good friends with Li Ke, which is exactly what Li Chengqian is worried about.

Li Chengqian asked: "The Turkic vassals are closer to the King of Chu, but what does it have to do with your marriage to Ashinayun?"

Li Yuanchang replied: "Ashinayun is Jieli's daughter-in-law, and she is quite prestigious among the Turkic people. If I can marry Ashinayun, I can help the prince win over Turkic subjects and separate Li Ke. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? "

After listening to Li Yuanchang's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Although the current Li Chengqian is still young, he is no longer the well-behaved boy who studied at the beginning. He has gradually started to get in touch with the court, tasted the taste of power, and began to know who would be his future rival.

Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, in terms of status, although he is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, the prince of the dynasty, one person is under one man and above ten thousand people, his honor is unparalleled, but in terms of prestige, he is far inferior to his third brother Li Ke. Under the circumstances, there are many people who know that there is a king of Chu but do not know that there is a prince. How can Li Chengqian feel relieved about Li Ke.

Although the current Turkic state has been defeated, its strength is still huge. If Li Ke can really use the Turkic power for his own use, it will really be a headache for Li Chengqian.

Previously, Li Chengqian had no good strategy to deal with Li Ke and suppress Li Ke's power, but now, from Li Yuanchang's mouth, Li Chengqian thought of a possibility.

Li Chengqian immediately said: "It's not impossible to ask Bengong to help you, but you have to obey Bengong's arrangement and don't mess around."
