bastard seizes tang

Chapter 864
If Li Ke wants to go on a personal conquest, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court, and the officials in the court will never agree with this matter, but when Li Ke wants to appease the northwest as an excuse, all the officials in the court will disappear The reason for objection is also Wang Xuance's idea to Li Ke.

The emperor's west tour, and the hometown of Longyou, where his ancestral home is, is reasonable and reasonable, and no one can fault it, so at the time of the court meeting, Li Ke strongly advocated to discuss this matter. Li Ke will drive to the west after the first month, and the emperor Zhizun inspected Longyou and deterred the countries in the Western Regions.

Chang'an City, Daming Palace, Picking Green Palace.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for being able to travel westward. The royal conquest is imminent." The news of Li Ke's westward tour spread quickly, and Langri Linzhi naturally got the news. As soon as Li Ke returned to the Emerald Palace after the court, Langri Linzhi came up and bowed to Li Ke.

Li Ke helped Langri Linzhi up, and said with a smile, "You also know about this."

Langri Linzhi said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are clear to my concubine, and your majesty's westward tour is a major event in the court, so how could my concubine not know."

Li Ke said: "That's right, Tubo lives on the western highlands, and they stare covetously at our Great Tang and the lands of the Western Regions. Sooner or later, they will be my great enemy in the Tang Dynasty. When I am in the prime of my life, I will personally destroy Tubo, and personally pull out this thorn in the side of my Tang descendants. It is my long-cherished wish."

Li Ke acted vigorously and resolutely. Whatever he wanted to do, he would try his best to do it as soon as possible. This was the case with Xueyantuo and Goguryeo, and now it was Tubo's turn. With Li Ke's temperament, he would never leave Tubo behind.

Listening to Li Ke's words, Langri Linzhi imitated the etiquette among courtiers, bowed to Li Ke and congratulated Li Ke: "Then this concubine wishes your Majesty a successful victory and an early breakthrough."

Seeing this, Li Ke lifted Langri Linzhi up with a smile, hugged Langri Linzhi in his arms, glanced at his beloved son Li Fan who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and said: "I must win this battle, and I will win this battle." This imperial conquest will not only destroy Tubo, but also create a big fief for our Fan'er."

What Li Ke said was what Li Ke had always promised Langri Linzhi. Li Ke wanted to follow the example of the Turks and canonize himself and Li Fan, the son of the Tubo princess Langri Linzhi, as the king of Tubo. host.

Li Ke always counts on what he says, and Li Ke's behavior also confirms all of this. This is Li Ke's promise, and it is also the reason why Langri Linzhi has been looking forward to the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition, and also helped Li Ke pass false news to paralyze Gongri. Gongzan, let Gongri Gongzan have the courage to move Ludongzan.

Li Ke and Langri Linzhi were saying this in the hall, but at this moment, a servant sent a message that Zhongshu Ling Cenwen came.

Cen Wenwen is Li Ke's confidant and also Li Ke's mentor. With Li Ke's favor, whenever Cen Wenwen comes in person, he can go directly to the imperial court without writing a letter. Next, he ordered his servant to lead Cen Wenwen into the palace.

"Chen Wenwen pays homage to Your Majesty." Cen Wenwen entered the hall and paid homage to Li Ke.

Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward to help Cen Wenwen, and asked with a smile, "Why is Master Cen here?"

Cen Wenwen got up and replied: "Your Majesty made such a big move at the court meeting. If I don't go to the palace to see His Majesty as soon as possible, I'm afraid I will go to the Tubo Plateau if I want to see Your Majesty again."

Cen Wenwen is so smart, and Li Ke is Cen Wenwen's disciple. It may be okay for Li Ke's thoughts to deceive others. It is absolutely impossible to deceive Cen Wenwen. Cen Wenwen knows Li Ke's purpose and does not hide it. Discussed the matter with Li Ke face to face.

About Yu Jia's personal conquest, Li Ke wanted to hide it from many people, and he did. Although the personal expedition is full of confidence, it must be fully prepared.

Li Ke personally conquered Tubo, even if he could not win a big victory, he would not be defeated, but there is no absolute in everything, let alone an expedition to a powerful country on the plateau, Li Ke must be fully prepared before going out, and he must make arrangements As a precaution, the best candidate for Li Ke to entrust important matters with peace of mind is undoubtedly Cen Wenwen, so how could Li Ke hide it from him.

Li Ke cupped his hands to Cen Wenwen and said: "I will go to Tubo, it will take three to five months in the short term, and half a year in the long term. The affairs of the court and China are complicated, and I have to trouble my teacher to take care of me."

Li Ke did not conceal or deny the slightest in front of Cen Wenwen. Based on Cen Wenwen's understanding of Li Ke, this also shows that Li Ke has made up his mind about the matter of Yujia's personal conquest.

Cen Wenwen asked, "Has Your Majesty made a decision?"

Li Ke replied: "I have made up my mind, and this western expedition will definitely come in person."

"What's the reason?" Cen Wenwen frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement.

Li Ke replied: "As far as the country is concerned, Tubo is a powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty. I will be the emperor's personal conquest to eradicate this trouble for the descendants of the Tang Dynasty once and for all. As far as I am concerned, Tubo is my great enemy. Tang was the last strongman in the neighboring country, if I can personally lead the army to destroy him, it will be a good story in the annals of history."

Cen Wenwen looked at Li Ke's persistent appearance, and said: "Your Majesty joined the army as a young man, and he has served in the army for many years. He has also made countless meritorious deeds. Do you still care about a Tubo?"

Li Ke replied: "I care about Tubo's advantage in the plateau. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can't use great perseverance and determination to destroy it in one battle, it will still be a disaster in the future. I have made up my mind. I still look forward to Master Cen in the court. Support me."

Tubo is not a small country on the border, but a powerful country on the plateau. Even if Li Ke's plan of alienation cut off Tubo's left and right arm, Tubo's military strength is still strong, and it is not easy to win, let alone a winner in a short time.

In such a big battle, even Li Ke’s personal conquest cannot be separated from the support of the court, and after Li Ke’s personal conquest, the person who can give Li Ke the greatest support is the leader of the prime ministers, who will assist the government and supervise the country. Cen texted it.

Cen Wenwen watched Li Ke get to where he is step by step. He understands Li Ke's temperament better than anyone else. Li Ke has already reached this point, and he will never look back.

Cen Wenwen straightened his clothes, and said in a serious voice: "Your Majesty is a king, and a subject is a scholar. Even if your Majesty's sword point is pointed at, even if the subject knows something is wrong, even if the ground is bloody, he will never back down half a step."

Cen Wenwen's eyes touched his ears, and Li Ke's cheeks were hot for a while. Cen Wenwen understood Li Ke, and Li Ke didn't understand Cen Wenwen. The interpretation of the word "shi" is as practical as Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen in the history of the Tang Dynasty knew that it was inappropriate for Li Shimin to personally conquer Goguryeo, but after dissuading him to no avail, he resolutely followed the army to the east, presided over government affairs in the army, and finally died of a serious illness. It is Cen Wenwen, and this is the "scholar" of Datang.

Li Ke looked at Cen Wenwen, cupped his hands and said: "It is precisely because Master Cen is in the court that I dare to act so presumptuously. With Master Cen, I will not worry about the affairs of the court no matter where I am. After I go west , the government affairs of the court and China all depend on Master Cen."
