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

Chapter 809 Volume Chang'an's Response

Yuchi Jingde breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Although he looks careless, he is not really stupid.

Relatively speaking, he is even an extremely smart old fox.

Only now did he want to stay outside the palace.

Of course, it is true that he is very smart, but none of his subordinates have his brains. If they had his brains, he would not have been able to get the title of Duke of E.

"My lord, shouldn't we be guarding outside the palace now?" The subordinate's words were simple. We should be guarding outside the palace now. No matter what happens to His Majesty in the end, now is the time to show our loyalty.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have the same idea as him. After all, they are all Yuchi Jingde's family generals, and their relationship with Yuchi Jingde is one of rise and fall together. Under this premise, they certainly hope that the future of the Duke of E's Mansion will have better development.

However, Yuchi Jingde laughed when he heard this and said, "How can it be that simple?
Such a serious matter as His Majesty's assassination should be kept top secret even in Siam.

Even Changsun Wuji started to block the news, but how did we find out?

Don't you find it strange?

Moreover, at this very moment, Taoist Sun was kidnapped again, and even was kidnapped intact. Isn't there some trick behind this?"

They had received the news before and had to go, but if there was a chance to leave that place, he would not hesitate at all.

Even though Changsun Wuji and others are guarding outside the palace now, to be honest, if they have the chance, they will definitely not want to stay there.

If it was just a struggle for imperial power, many people would be willing to get involved, but there was something evil about this matter from beginning to end. Yuchi Jingde didn't believe that those guys didn't see it, but no one said anything.

"My Lord, what you mean is that the assassination of His Majesty is not that simple?" Upon hearing this, each of his subordinates showed a look of sudden realization.

Everyone knows about their master.

It is true that he is careless in daily life, but when it comes to serious matters, this master is never vague.

"Okay, forget about them. Now let's just go and look for Taoist Sun."

Yuchi Jingde didn't care about those things. For him, it was enough to leave that storm vortex.

Just as Yuchi Jingde was searching all over Siam for Sun Simiao's movements, the news of Li Er's assassination gradually began to spread.

Just as Yuchi Jingde suspected, it seemed like there was a group of mysterious people who were afraid that everyone didn't know that Li Er had been assassinated.

Chang'an, the Palace of the King of Shu.

Li Ke frowned after receiving the news.

He also wanted to know who could do such a heinous thing at this critical moment.

"Your Highness, could it be from the Ming Dynasty?" Yang Huaizhi hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Impossible." Li Ke shook his head subconsciously and said, "Although my brother is ambitious, he has a very clear view of the situation. Moreover, my brother is still by the Yalong River. Even if something unexpected happens to my father, he can't rush back. On the contrary..."

Before Li Ke finished speaking, a look of worry appeared on his face.

When Yang Huaizhi heard this, he immediately understood what he was worried about.

"I'm afraid others will think the same way. If that happens, the blame will probably fall on us." After saying that, Yang Huaizhi also sighed and said, "If that really happens, I'm afraid many people will take advantage of our misfortune."

"That's right." Li Ke said, "According to the news coming out now, it's either my brother or me..."

Hey……

After saying that, both of them sighed.

No one expected things to develop to this point. Who dared to believe that Li Er would be assassinated?
As for the remnants of Siam?
Haha, if they really had that ability, how could they submit to the Tang Dynasty?
You must know that the troops Li Er took with him on this southern expedition were the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, even if this were not the case, those Siamese guys would not dare to assassinate Li Er.

If this were to happen, Siam would be on the verge of national destruction.

The Tang Dynasty will definitely sweep the land like a plow, and as Yuchi Jingde said, nine out of ten houses will be left empty.

"Your Highness, do you think His Majesty's life is in danger now?" After hesitating for a long time, Yang Huaizhi finally asked this question.

However, in the face of this question, Li Ke said directly: "Of course not. With the shrewdness of Zhangsun Wuji and others, they would definitely block the news when encountering such a thing. And the news can still be spread. Mr. Huaizhi, don't you know what it means?"

"Your Highness, do you mean that this is His Majesty testing us?" Yang Huaizhi asked, "If that's the case, then we are in trouble now.

It seems that doing nothing is not okay, and not doing anything is not okay either.”

"This may be what father wants to test me." Li Ke shook his head and said, "Hey, this is the royal family, and I am just a pawn of the royal family."

When he said this, there was a hint of desolation in his words.

What can he do?
So what if you guessed what the problem was?

His father didn't give him any chance.

"Okay, pass the order down, this matter cannot be discussed any further." After thinking for a long time, Li Ke said, "The only thing we can do now is to stabilize Chang'an. No matter what the emperor thinks, at this time, as long as we can keep Chang'an from chaos, it will be a great achievement after all."

After saying this, Li Ke didn't want to say any more words.

He was very clear that his current situation was not very good. He always felt like it was a fight between gods and the mortals were suffering.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

Being in the royal family, how could he possibly avoid these?

In the Eastern Palace, Li Tai also received the news.

However, his reaction was much more relaxed than Li Ke's.

After receiving the news, he carefully judged it and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Among Li Er's sons, few are stupid.

After just a little thought, he realized that this matter had nothing to do with him.

If that's the case, what is he worried about?
As for Li Er's safety, what a joke! If something really happened to Li Er, the news would not reach him. He was very clear about this.

Compared to Li Tai's ease, people like Chang Sun Chong couldn't remain calm.

After receiving the news, Chang Sun Chong summoned all the officials of the Ming Dynasty in Chang'an. At this moment, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

But no one spoke for a long while.

Seeing that no one spoke, Chang Sun Chong said, "Everyone should know the situation. Now that His Majesty has been assassinated in Siam, Your Highness, as the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, should do something."

"If you ask me, what else is there to do?" Fang Yiai couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Majesty's life or death is unknown now, it's time to send a letter to the Yalong River. There's no need to fight the southern expedition, and we should lead the troops back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

If His Majesty really has any problem, Your Highness will need to stay in Chang'an."

He has a very stubborn mind and really doesn't like to move.

At this moment, in his opinion, since the Majesty's life or death is unknown, it is time for His Highness to return to the Tang Dynasty to take charge of the situation.

As for the southern expedition, there is no time when we cannot fight against the small country of India?

You can't just throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, right?
After hearing what he said, some people began to agree.

For a while, they even discussed how the army should march. Hearing that they were talking more and more outrageous, Wang Dequan quickly stood up and said, "It's too early to march into the Tang Dynasty now. None of us knows what the situation of the Tang Emperor is.

If a large army rashly enters the country, it will inevitably cause conflicts between the two countries.

Besides, who knows if this is a conspiracy?
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated. Even we have received the news. Don’t you think something is wrong?”

Wang Dequan has made a lot of progress after planning in Chang'an for so many years. He has seen many conspiracies and intrigues in the Tang Dynasty court. He will think twice before encountering any situation.

Seeing this, Cheng Chuliang nodded and said, "Minister Wang is right. No one knows what the emperor's situation is now. At this moment, it is best for us to do nothing and wait and see.

At the same time, we must also be on guard against the King of Shu taking this opportunity to make some small moves in Chang'an, especially the military."

"That's right." Xue Rengui also stood up and said, "Your Highness is now on the Yalong River. By the time we pass the news back, I'm afraid it will be too late. Instead of asking Your Highness to withdraw troops from the Yalong River, it's better to be on guard against Chang'an.

If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is in any crisis, the King of Shu will surely take action."

"It's not just the King of Shu." Cheng Chuliang said, "We have to pay attention to the King of Liang as well. We can't take it lightly even for the King of Yue. We have to send people to keep an eye on the other vassal kings.

Even though these guys seem to be well behaved on weekdays, you never know what they will do when the critical moment comes. "

"Just watching is not enough." Chang Sun Chong shook his head and said, "If His Majesty really has something wrong, we should win over some talents at this time.

In this way, except for Minister Wang and a few others, Chu Liang and others all started to move. In the early years, when you were in Chang'an, you also called your friends and now you all became familiar with each other.

It’s fine to visit someone or have a small gathering when you have nothing to do.

No matter what His Majesty does this time, His Highness will need support if he wants to return to Chang'an in the future.

Moreover, if we don’t do it, there’s no guarantee that others will do it.”

No one objected to Chang Sun Chong's arrangement.

He has a point.

No matter what Li Er's current situation is, it is necessary to help His Highness win over some people.

Moreover, guys like Fang Yiai were the tyrants in Chang'an in the early years.

He has some friendship with the young masters of various mansions, and even some young princes.

At this time, it is also a good idea to win over the old ones through the younger ones.

Even though most of the nobles in Chang'an have properties in Sun Moon Mountain, to be honest, it is not necessarily His Highness that is supported by their families.

Even in their own homes, it is hard to say.

"This is not the most important thing." At this time, Wang Dequan added, "The people that Changming Army had stationed outside before can all be recalled. At this time, the most important thing is the safety of the Queen. At this time, the Queen cannot have any accidents.

otherwise……"

"Of course." Xue Rengui said immediately after hearing this, "Don't worry about this, Minister Wang. After learning that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had been assassinated, this general has already transferred all the troops out to return."

How could they not know this truth?

Empress Changsun was the stumbling block to Li Ke's ascension to the throne. How could they make such a low-level mistake?
"That's not what I was thinking." Chang Sun Chong said suddenly, "Now that His Majesty has been attacked, Your Highness, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, it would be fine if you don't have the ability, but now your ability is obvious. Should we, the Ming Dynasty, send troops south, even if it's just to transfer some people from the Chang Ming Army? But this attitude must be taken after all, right?

Firstly, we can get the latest information about His Majesty at the first place, and secondly, this attitude can also help His Majesty win more recognition in the Tang Dynasty court."

"By the way, is there any news coming back from the Ming Dynasty's secret service in Siam?" Upon hearing what Chang Sun Chong said, Shu Sun Yu immediately stood up and asked.

Chang Sun Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but even if the Secret Service of the Ming Dynasty sends back any news, it will only reach Your Highness.

Moreover, I guess there is no news from the Secret Service about this matter.

Your Majesty's assassination is no small matter.

The Secret Service has not yet been able to infiltrate it."

After saying that, Chang Sun Chong looked at Xue Rengui again and asked, "General Xue, what do you think of my previous proposal?"

"I support it." Xue Rengui smiled when he heard Chang Sun Chong asking him, "After all, what Shangshu Chang Sun said makes sense. Sending troops over, no matter how many people there are, is our attitude.

Moreover, the news also said that Taoist Sun has been kidnapped in Siam. We can't just ignore it, right?

But who should we send?"

"I'll go!" Fang Yiai immediately stood up when Xue Rengui asked, "Who else is more suitable than me? Then, I can take this opportunity to ask my father what the situation is with His Majesty."

"You're going to hell." After he finished speaking, Li Jingren said with disdain, "With your broken mouth, you don't even have a clue. Are you going there to find out the truth or to sell us out?
If they say a few words, you will be able to tell them everything about my Ming Dynasty."

He didn't mean that Fang Yiai's stance was not firm or anything. The key point was that this guy was indeed not a tight-lipped person. Moreover, he loved to brag and refused to admit defeat. If he was really allowed to go, it would be like a meat bun hitting a dog.

"You are really not suitable to go." Without waiting for Fang Yiai to refute, Chang Sun Chong said, "Your father is also there now. If you go, it will not have any effect. Your father puts pressure on you. Do you still dare to go against him?"

Then he looked at Cheng Chuliang and said, "Chuliang, go there. Your father is in the north now. Those in the south are all your uncles. They would be embarrassed to do anything bad to you."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chuliang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there.

It just so happens that I have been staying in Chang'an for quite some time, and I also want to visit the south.

No matter who conquers Siam, won't it be your Highness's Siam in the future?"
