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

Chapter 765 Volume Reactions from All Parties
Zhang Liang died in battle, and Liu Shuyi brothers died in battle.

When the news came back to Chang'an, one can imagine the sensation it caused.

On this day, Chang'an, the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Yang Shidao and others all looked sad.

It’s not that I’m sad for Zhang Liang.

To be honest, they didn't care at all whether Zhang Liang died or not.

Moreover, everyone had already guessed Zhang Liang's ending. What really made them feel helpless was the death of Liu Shuyi's brother.

This is from their line.

Their death in battle not only ruined the strength of the Shu kings, but also highlighted the terror of the Ming Dynasty.

Comparing the two, a judgment can be made.

"This situation is extremely unfavorable for us. Once the news reaches Gaozhou, His Majesty will be furious when he learns about it." Yang De said, sighing deeply, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have never Having suffered such a disastrous defeat, one can imagine His Majesty’s anger.”

Zheng Xu, Lu Zhengju, Yang Shidao and others also felt the same when they heard this.

As for Li Ke, he was much calmer and didn't say much.

"The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more." On the side, Yang Shidao said, "Now this situation, for us, has reached the point of life and death. You should think carefully about how to solve the current crisis."

As he said that, he turned his attention to Zheng Xu and others, which clearly meant that it was time for you to put in all your efforts, right?
Seeing this scene, Li Ke also subconsciously looked at Zheng Xu and others.

It's now time, you really have to show your sincerity.

"Doctor Zheng, now that the brothers of the Duke of Lu have died in battle, I wonder if anyone among you can recommend someone to take their place?" Li Ke said with a smile.

Zheng Xu was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't understand what Li Ke meant. Li Ke wanted his family to fill the gap.

Even though they are scholarly heirs, the Tang Dynasty is not the Post-Song Dynasty.

The literati at this time were those who could bring peace to the world with their writing and those who could immediately decide the world with their military skills.

Going into battle to kill the enemy was actually not unfamiliar to the literati of the Tang Dynasty.

Take today's gentry as an example. Although they are all literati, their primary school skills are the Six Arts of the Gentleman.

Personal force may not be as good as the heroes in the army, but it is really not comparable to those literati who were weak in the Song Dynasty in later generations.

"This..." Zheng Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "We still need to send a message to the clan to discuss this."

Li Ke nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a servant came in and whispered in his ear for a while.

"Your Highness, fifth brother is here."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke immediately said: "Everyone, let's discuss it first. I have some small matters that need to be dealt with by the king." After saying that, Li Ke got up and left the hall with the servants.

"Where is the person?" Li Ke asked after leaving the hall.

The servant whispered: "In the secret room."

"Has anyone discovered it?" Li Ke continued to ask.

"No."

Li Ke nodded and then walked towards the secret room.

Soon, when Li Ke walked into the secret room, he saw a cloaked man sitting in the secret room, silent.

Seeing Li Ke come in, the cloaked man stood up, bowed and said, "I have met His Highness."

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, I have worked hard for you these years, five..."

Having said this, Li Ke shook his head and said, "Your name really takes advantage of others. That's all. Tell me why you are here?"

He knew that if this person had nothing urgent to do, he would definitely not come to his house rashly.

"His Highness must have known about the changes in Da Zhao." The cloaked man said, "What we mean is that this is also an opportunity for His Highness. Some of the previous plans can be started."

"Are you ready?" Li Ke was also surprised when he heard this.

Is this too fast?

"It's not about being prepared or not. To be honest, I have been preparing for some years. Now, it's just the right time." The man in the cloak smiled, "I have been dormant for so many years. This is my opinion. Never had the best time.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has helped him clean up all the people the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to clean up. Now is the time for His Highness to show off his grand plans. "

"Including Brother Liu Shuyi, are they also people that the emperor wants to get rid of?" Li Ke asked.

"Based on the information we have, yes." The cloaked man said, "Why else does Your Highness think the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly used Brother Liu Shuyi?

So this time is not a bad thing for His Highness. "

Li Ke nodded. To put it this way, now is indeed the best time. Although Taohe County lost, it is actually not a bad thing for him.

Brother Liu Shuyi, Zhang Liang, and even Li Junxian were all targeted by his father and his brother.

He cannot recruit these people.

As for why the cloaked man knows these things better than him, haha, this is what people eat.

"Does that person in your family still remember what he promised me in the past?" Li Ke suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the cloaked man smiled and said: "Your Highness can rest assured that the promise made to His Highness in the past will definitely be true. As long as Your Highness can cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, His Highness's wishes will definitely be fulfilled in the future."

With that said, the two discussed again, and after more than an hour, Li Ke walked out of the secret room with satisfaction.

When Li Ke returned to the hall again, he looked at Zheng Xu and said with a smile: "Doctor Zheng, now I have reached the critical stage of my life and death. If the noble clan cannot give me the greatest support, I may really have to retreat.

Taking advantage of the fact that I haven't completely broken my skin yet, I will give in to my brother, bow my head, and just be the Prince of Peace. "

Hearing this, Zheng Xu's head got bigger.

Come again?

"Your Highness shouldn't say that." Lu Zhengju saw Zheng Xu looking at him, then he stood up and said, sighing, "Since we decided to assist His Highness, who has not tried his best?
Who dares to make any excuses?

Your Highness's words will chill people's hearts. "

Of course they have reservations, that's inevitable.

Even now, it is impossible for them to bet all their treasures on Li Ke.

They are not one person, nor a family, they are several tribes.

How could it be possible to take such a big risk?

Not even in case!

"What Lu Yushi said is reasonable, but I made a mistake." Li Ke nodded after hearing this, and said, "But everyone can see my current situation. If it were at this time, everyone would still hide it. , To be honest, we’d better discuss it as soon as possible, otherwise we’d have to break up.

At least one or two things can be saved, right? "He can understand the reservations of each family. Isn't this nonsense? If it were him, he would also have reservations.

He is not alone, who dares to make a big bet easily?
"Your Highness is right." Yang De heard this and said hurriedly, "Now everyone knows about Taohe County's defeat. If His Majesty is really angry because of an accident, all our work before will be in vain. "

When he said this, everyone suddenly fell silent.

They had also discussed this topic after Li Ke left before. Indeed, the current situation was indeed somewhat unfavorable for them and Li Ke.

It's just that they don't know that the current situation is actually the result of a tacit understanding between the two of them.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. The death of Duke Yun and Duke Wulian was actually His Majesty's intention. For us, it may not be a bad thing." Zheng Xu said at the right time, "In this case, we will ask the clan members , they say that there is still three inches left in the broken ship, but it’s not the time to despair yet.”

He was hinting to Li Ke not to give up at this time, they still had some strength left.

Not to mention, at this time, they were really worried that Li Ke would give up on his own. If that happened, there would be big trouble.

Li Ke smiled and said nothing when he heard this. These guys really can't dig out their details without forcing them.

He waved his hands casually and dismissed everyone.

……

At the same time, the East Palace.

Fang Yiai laughed loudly.

"Good kill!" After a glass of wine, Fang Yiai shouted again, "Happy!
Then Zhang Liang, who was so awesome, is he still alive today? "

Before, they received news that when Shusun Huai and others died in the battle, they were all furious and even prepared to massacre the Zhang family. If Changsun Chong hadn't moved out of Queen Changsun, the Zhang family might have been killed by now. Following in the footsteps of the Yin family.

Although they were not familiar with Shusun Huai, they had met him when he went to the Youth Army.

Even the military flag was found by Fang Yiai.

"Those guys like Shusun Huai are all good! If I had known this would happen, I should have kept them in the Youth Army." Cheng Chuliang also sighed with emotion.

They didn't expect those guys like Shusun Huai to be so resolute.

"Hey, you guys, are you still celebrating?" Just as everyone was celebrating, Changsun Chong pushed the door open and entered.

"That old man Zhang Liang is dead, so why don't we have a few more drinks?" Fang Yiai said matter-of-factly.

He and Zhang Liang didn't have any personal grudges, it was just that this guy slaughtered Shusun Huai and others, which made them a little indignant.

"Okay, now is not the time to drink." Changsun Chong sat down and then said, "Didn't you go to massacre Duke Yun's mansion before?"

"What, is it okay now?" Fang Yiai's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

He likes this job.

Like Wan Qipu, he is a war maniac. If he has the opportunity to kill, he really doesn't want to miss it.

Changsun Chong shook his head.

Seeing Changsun Chong shaking his head, Fang Yiai said angrily: "Why did you fart without this opportunity?"

Changsun Chong was not annoyed. This guy was like this. He picked up a glass of wine in front of him and threw it on the ground. After muttering for a while, he said: "You can't move the Duke Yun's mansion, but have you forgotten? Is there a reason why Duke Yun is what he is today?”

"because?"

Fang Yiai was stunned, then said dissatisfiedly, "Damn it, just let it go."

"Are you talking about Duke Yun's five hundred falsehoods?" Cheng Chuliang heard the deeper meaning.

Hearing this, Changsun Chong glanced at Fang Yiai and said with a smile: "Look at me, and then look at you?"

After despising Fang Yiai, Changsun Chong said, "We received the news before that Zhang Liang had five hundred fake men, but there were still many people who did not go with him on the expedition. Now that Zhang Liang died in the battle, these people did not stay. It's necessary.

It is estimated that even if we don't take action, His Majesty should take action. "

"Is it useful to kill these people?" Fang Yiai was not very interested.

In his eyes, these people are just chickens and dogs, and he really has no interest in attacking these people.

Changsun Chong smiled and said: "You, just obey the orders and act. As for whether it is useful or not, it is not your place to consider. The main thing is that you have to think about it and not come up with a reason.

Also, this is His Highness's oral instruction, not my arrangement. "

He knew that he couldn't control these guys, so he immediately moved Li Chengqian out.

Of course, he didn't know Li Chengqian's intention of doing this, so he couldn't explain Fang Yiai's doubts.

"Since it was His Highness's request, we will make arrangements now." Xue Rengui didn't say much and didn't hesitate after hearing the words.

Upon seeing this, Changsun Chong raised his hand to Xue Rengui and said, "Then I'll trouble General Xue. Someone will send the news about those guys later."

After saying that, Changsun stood up and left.

He is also busy now, where can he spend his time here?

After he left, Fang Yiai looked at Cheng Chuliang. This guy was much smarter than him. He also wanted to ask what His Highness's intention was. Only by knowing His Highness's intention would they know what to do. degree.

"What do you want me to do?" Seeing everyone looking at him, Cheng Chuliang said angrily, "What is His Highness's intention? How can I guess it?"

He finally realized that it was not good for him to be like this. It was okay to speculate on His Highness and fall for him occasionally.

But once this impression is left on others, it will be a big trouble.

"Okay, His Highness's intentions are not something we can arbitrarily guess." Seeing this, Xue Rengui said, "Since His Highness has made arrangements in this regard, we will follow them."

Hearing this, Cheng Chuliang glanced at Xue Rengui gratefully.

But Fang Yiai still said: "Something is still wrong. Since His Highness's oral instructions are for our Changming Army, why did that guy Changsun Chong know about it first?"

"You still don't understand this?" At this time, Cheng Chuliang didn't need to explain. Li Jingren smiled and said, "The oral message was passed to Changsun Chong first, which can only explain one problem, that is, His Highness had already made this arrangement, and only waited for Zhang Liang When he was beheaded, he asked the eldest grandson to come and deliver the oral instructions.

As for why..."

As he said that, he looked at Fang Yiai. The look in his eyes clearly meant, "You don't know what your personality is like?"
"Don't look at me like that..." Fang Yiai was upset and said calmly, "Since His Highness has arranged it, let's do it. It's just a few pretense of killing Zhang Liang. It's really not very exciting. If How many of his sons can be killed, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Don't mess around!" Cheng Chuliang heard this and his head was pounding. "Zhang Liang's failure in this battle is an insult to the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty will definitely punish him. If you let him take the blame, Your Majesty will have no place to vent his anger. Be careful. Let the fire come out on you.”

He was really worried that this guy would do things without knowing the importance of them.

Obviously, the Zhang family has fallen.

Even if he died on the battlefield, there would be no good fruits in the future.

At this time, angering the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for this would really be more gain than loss.

As for why His Highness took action against Zhang Liang's pretense, he still had some guesses, but it was just a guess.

"Okay, I understand." Fang Yiai waved his hand impatiently, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
