This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 597 Volume [-] Chang'an Shocked!

After the news of Shanshan's surrender to Ming Dynasty spread, all the kings of the Western Regions also felt a sense of urgency.

Of course, it was just a sense of urgency, and they were not surprised by King Kucha's choice.

And in the inn where King Qiuci stayed, he was having a secret meeting with King Shanshan at the moment.

"According to what you said, in fact, Daming has already planned everything. They are ready to take over the countries of the Western Regions at any time. In the final analysis, we were plotted by them."

King Shanshan also nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, and for the request made by this king, Daming refused without thinking. This shows that they have actually made an arrangement. This is a conspiracy! It is completely aimed at us in the Western Regions. conspiracy!"

"What kind of conspiracy?" King Qiuci sighed and said, "This is clearly a conspiracy against our Western Regions, everything is on the surface, but we just don't have any way to solve it!
If not, how could this king let you tentatively surrender to Daming. "

Speaking of this, King Shanshan was also speechless.

Because Daming's scheme is indeed something they cannot decipher, even if they all know what is going on, they just cannot solve it.

Procrastinate, they cannot procrastinate.

After a long time, it will only drag down their countries in the Western Regions.

"Forget it, let's surrender, it depends on how Daming treats us in the future, if we really don't treat us as human beings, I will not be easy to mess with countries in the Western Regions.

Do you really think that if we are trapped in Riyue Mountain, we will completely lose control of the countries in the Western Regions? "

Speaking of which, he had already made a decision.

Of course, this is something that cannot be done. After all, they are not compromising now. If they cause civil uprisings in various countries, then they will not be as simple as submitting. The dignitaries of these countries may die faster.

……

And starting today, within a few days, countries in the Western Regions have announced their submission to Ming Dynasty one after another.

For all of this, no matter whether it is Gao Chunxing or Murong Chengzhong, it is not surprising.

And after the news spread that the countries in the Western Regions surrendered to Ming Dynasty, Datang was also quite shocked.

They were not shocked by the fact that the countries of the Western Regions surrendered to Ming Dynasty, what really shocked them was the speed, which was too fast, really too fast.

In the governor's mansion of Taohe County, Changsun Wuji and Xu Jingzong were dumbfounded.

"How could it be so fast?" Xu Jingzong asked with a puzzled look on his face, "At the beginning, I thought that at least in the middle of next year, the countries in the Western Regions would completely surrender to Ming Dynasty. Who knows, it will only take a few months. Can the Western Regions hold on?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head when he heard the words, but he felt a little relieved about all of this. After all, Li Ke is now making troubles in Chang'an. Of course, he hopes that Li Chengqian can speed up his growth. good thing.

Again, it may not be for Li Chengqian, even if it is for himself, he would not allow Li Ke to sit in that position.

"However, after Daming took over the Western Regions this time, there are almost no neighboring countries around them." Xu Jingzong said cautiously, "In this way, it is inevitable that Daming will conflict with my Tang Dynasty. I wonder what the county guard thinks?"

"This is inevitable." Changsun Wuji said, "How can the fusion of the two dynasties be so simple? The reason why Ming took the Western Regions was to complete the fusion between Tang and Ming, but in this process, things will definitely happen. many things.

Moreover, now Daming has won the Western Regions.

It is even more impossible for my Great Tang Chaotang to give up Daming. If I do, the loss will be great. "

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Xu Jingzong understood.

Indeed, after winning the Western Regions, Daming is comparable to Tang in terms of land area.

In addition to being unable to compare with Datang in terms of population and economic aggregate, Li Chengqian has indeed built an empire that is comparable to Datang in other respects.

So, nowadays, there are too many people who are reluctant to part with the Great Tang Prince.

As long as Tang Ming merges, they will create an unprecedented super empire!
This is definitely an irresistible temptation for the group of people in the court hall, even Li Er can't resist this temptation.

"But if this is the case, I'm afraid the gentry in the Tang Dynasty will not agree?" Xu Jingzong thought for a while and said, "After all, they offended His Highness so badly at the beginning, and they really want to wait for His Highness to return to Chang'an to visit the Great Treasure. Aren't they afraid that His Highness will settle accounts after autumn?

At that time, His Highness's power will be overwhelming, who can contend? "

"This is the crux of the problem." Changsun Wuji said, "There must be people who oppose and worry, but it is not the problem you mentioned. In the final analysis, as long as they are given enough benefits, these are trivial matters.

The problem now is that Daming itself has been nibbling away at their interests, and this is the reason for their opposition.

Of course, there is no need to worry too much about this. Don't worry, even Fang Xuanling and those in the court will not become firm princelings, but at this time, if they want to change the prince, they will be the first to refuse.

As for those aristocratic families, their best way out is to reshape their relationship with His Highness, otherwise, their life will definitely be difficult in the future. "

In fact, Changsun Wuji didn't finish his sentence, and there was no need to finish it.

……

And in Chang'an, when the news of the countries of the Western Regions surrendering to Ming Dynasty was transmitted back to Chang'an, the entire Chang'an court was shaken.

In today's dynasty, Li Xiaogong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Prince of Hejian County, immediately came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, this time the Ming Dynasty has conquered all the countries in the Western Regions, and also annexed Tubo, completely dominating the Western Regions. My Tang Dynasty should congratulate you."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

……

As soon as Li Xiaogong finished speaking, many people stood up and expressed their support.

Indeed, this time the Tang Dynasty should send a mission to the Ming Dynasty to congratulate the Ming Dynasty on its unification of the Western Regions.

"Since ancient times, this is the first time someone has been able to complete the unification of the entire western region." At this moment, Li Daozong also stood up and said, "And it is the descendants of my Han family who created this miracle. I really should congratulate it."

"Since Ban Chao, the descendants of my Han family have seldom been able to make a name for themselves in the Western Regions." Fang Xuanling also laughed.

Li Er also smiled when he heard the words: "Indeed, this time, the Ministry of Rites has come up with a charter and sent a mission to Daming to congratulate Daming on his unification of the west and his success in supremacy."

Although he had a smile on his face, there was some bitterness in his heart.

The stronger Li Chengqian was, the more uncomfortable he felt. Being surpassed by his own son was indeed not very good.

And it was Li Ke who was more uncomfortable than him.

Li Ke stood in the hall, needless to say the bitterness in his heart.

Since hearing the news, his complexion has not been better.

He still wanted to wrestle with Li Chengqian, but in the end, he didn't care about him at all, but it made him feel a sense of loss that he couldn't match.

To put it bluntly, what he is fighting for now is the inheritance left by his parents, but he has built an industry that is comparable to the Tang Dynasty with his own ability. What does this make him think?
"Your Majesty." At this moment, Zheng Xu, an admonishing official, stood up and said, "Now our Tang Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, but the East Palace can't be left without a master for a day?
As far as the country is concerned, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, how can it be left empty for a long time? "

Upon hearing his words, everyone froze immediately.

Even Li Er was dumbfounded. At this juncture, why are you making such a fuss?

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant of the household department of the Wang family also stood up and said: "Dr. Zheng's words are reasonable, the East Palace cannot be left without a master for a day, and please Your Majesty appoint another crown prince!"

All of a sudden, the gentry officials stood up one after another.

After the news of the countries in the Western Regions surrendering to Ming Dynasty was sent back to Chang'an, they had already discussed it.

"Ridiculous!" At this moment, Wei Zheng stood up and yelled angrily, "My crown prince is in the Western Regions to create an eternal foundation for our Tang Dynasty, why should we establish another crown prince!"

"Exactly!" After he finished speaking, Hou Junji also stood up and said angrily, "Could it be that you are all blind, and if you change the crown prince at this time, who has the face to sit in that position? Who dares to say that he can compare Your Highness has done better!"

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji took another look at Li Ke.

Although Li Ke was also shocked at the moment, he didn't say a word, and he didn't want to get involved.

He wanted to do something, but there were some things he couldn't do.

Fighting also requires strategy, and this time the gentry made such a move without discussing it with him, so he didn't want to be used as a gunman.

"It's a joke." Zheng Xu said immediately, "You keep saying that the prince of the Tang Dynasty opened up territory for the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, but after so many years, has the territory of the Tang Dynasty moved westward by an inch?
Is this what you say I am the prince?
What is the use of such a prince to my Tang Dynasty? "

"Doctor Zheng's words are wrong." Xiao Yu also stood up and said, "Isn't the Great Ming built by Your Highness the territory of my Great Tang? It's just that His Highness hasn't returned to the east yet. What can't be understood?

Could it be that your Highness, Dr. Zheng, is not allowed to return to Chang'an? "

He is only reasonable, as long as you can't reason with him, it's useless.

However, these officials of the aristocratic family were not paid for nothing. For a while, the whole court was full of quarrels.

What's more interesting is that although the crowd was arguing fiercely, none of the people like Li Er and Fang Xuanling spoke easily.

Even from the beginning to the end, they didn't express any opinions.

Of course, people like Fang Xuanling do not support another crown prince for the time being.

This is inconsistent with their usual views.

Until the next court, everyone didn't argue about why.

After everyone went down to the court, Fang Xuanling and other officials in the court were called away by Li Er again.

"What do you think is the intention of Dr. Zheng and others today?" Li Er asked immediately.

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "It's just that Ming annexed Tubo and the Western Regions one after another, which put pressure on them. Now, they are just for show."

Who this person is, in fact, everyone knows.

This is why they argued before, but it was just an argument.

Li Er nodded, and said, "That's true, but they might not be so simple this time, right?"

Ok?
Hearing Li Er's words, everyone was stunned.

This is meant to be.

"Your Majesty means that they really want to send a signal?" Wen Yanbo whispered.

"Isn't it?" Li Er sneered.

Fang Xuanling shook his head, and said: "No, among the princes, although they are all intelligent, none can compare with His Highness.

Moreover, the meaning of His Highness to Datang is not just that of a prince.

Datang with His Highness and Datang without His Highness are completely different things! "

"Hmph." Li Er snorted coldly when he heard the words, "You expect them to think about the country and court in every way? Does Fang Qing think too well of these people?
Do you really think that they have the qualifications of saints because they have studied the knowledge of saints?
For them, whoever is useful to them is the most qualified emperor. "

Li Er is actually very contradictory. It stands to reason that he can unite with these great families at the moment, but the problem is that he doesn't like these families himself. In addition, his rights never want to be shared by others. How could he agree to snatch his rights from him?
Besides, the signal sent by the aristocratic family is the easiest person to attract, and now only Li Ke is the only one, and Li Ke is related to Yuan Mou's former officials and Li Yuan's forces. At this moment, he really dare not let these people get entangled together .

This is not a good thing for Datang.

It's not a good thing for him.

"If it is true as His Majesty said, then this matter is really serious." Wei Zheng said immediately, "We must investigate!"

Everyone also nodded.

For them, the Eastern Palace should not change hands at least now!

Firstly, no one is more suitable than Li Chengqian, and secondly, no one can restrain the current Li Chengqian.

If the East Palace really changes hands now, in the future when Li Erjia dies, the East Palace will take over, and Li Chengqian will return to Datang as the former prince, what will happen then?

……

And outside the palace, Zheng Xu's mansion.

At this moment, Zheng Xu was drinking wine with the officials of various families, and said with a complacent expression: "For us this time, we can attack and defend, and it is really a double-edged sword."

"Indeed." Wang's servant said with a smile, "It's just that that one doesn't seem to have any reaction today."

"It's normal if there is no reaction." The official of the Cui family laughed, "That person is not an ordinary person, he has indeed made a lot of noise in Chang'an these years.

However, the previous one still had some feuds with us, and at this moment, he might also be on guard against us. "

"Could it be me?" Wei Shaoyin sneered as soon as Cui's family finished speaking, "Could it be that I was wrong in order to protect our interests?"

"Brother Wei is right." Hearing this, Zheng Xu quickly got up and walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Cui didn't mean that, it's just that in some respects, can we give that person some convenience?" ?”

"Convenience?" Wei Shaoyin immediately stood up when he heard the words, "The roots of you are not in Chang'an. Do you want to ask these aristocratic families in Chang'an if they can give you this convenience? Lose our interests to help you please that one. It’s really a good plan!”

"Hmph!" As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Du family also snorted coldly.

All of a sudden, all the families in Chang'an got up one after another and made plans to leave.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Seeing this, people from Cui Luzheng's family hurriedly stopped everyone.

"Our family is one, how can we harm our own interests."

　Damn, I actually came to the door again today... I got a B.I'll deal with it.
