The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

"My cousin won't care about this, and there are many people behind him. Do I have to wait here until dark?"

The King of Chengdu rolled his eyes and said that this guy had never worked with Li Xiang, but this guy understood one thing. Li Xiang would not trouble him just because of a matter of etiquette.

Of course, sometimes the prerequisite is that you offend him first, then he will not let go of any opportunity. You, the King of Chengdu, think that you have nothing to do with Li Xiang, so after Li Xiang's frame passes, This guy was about to go back to the palace to rest.

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, when an outgoing army passes by your fiefdom, you must stand by and watch. If you go back early, it will be a sin. When Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, formulated this regulation, it was also to encourage the children of the royal family to encourage the marching troops.

Now the King of Chengdu went back without waiting for the army to finish. Li Xiang soon got the news, but just as the King of Chengdu thought, Li Xiang didn't have the time to argue with him about these small things. Now Li Xiang also He is no longer the same Li Xiang, and his horizons have improved a lot compared to before. It is also a waste of our worth to care about such trivial matters.

Although the King of Chengdu returned, on another mountain peak, King Li Ke of Shu looked at the army at the foot of the mountain, wondering what he was thinking.

"After all, there is no chance to lead troops anymore."

Li Ke, the king of Shu, touched his spear and saw the mighty Tang Dynasty at the foot of the mountain. The soldier felt really bad.

Of course, this is not surprising. When Li Xiangdong conquered Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo from the north sent troops to attack Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was an excellent opportunity. Li Shimin overcame everyone's objections and asked him to lead troops to the north.

But something went wrong with this guy, and he was lured deep into the enemy's territory, causing every household in Chang'an to be blamed. In the end, if Li Xiang hadn't come to the rescue, his life might have been thrown into the grassland.

Every time he had the opportunity to lead troops, the court ministers would immediately bring this matter up. Of course, he himself felt very guilty. Those soldiers were the best soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also among the six soldiers controlled by Li Shimin. One of the army.

It can be said that they were the emperor's personal army, but it was soldiers like this that defeated him in the north. If he could still be allowed to lead troops on an expedition, then the entire Tang court would be a bunch of losers.

So at this moment, King Shu Li Ke does not blame others. If he wants to blame, he can only blame himself.

Princess Shu stood quietly in the distance. She knew not to disturb her husband at this time. Everyone has a dream of leading troops into battle, but there is only one chance. If you lose this opportunity, don't expect it. God will give you a second time.

Concubine Yang also wrote a letter from the capital before, talking about Yang Yunzhu's marriage to Li Xiang. If her son still wants to lead troops to the front line, Concubine Yang wants to talk to Li Xiang with Yang Yunzhu. , no matter what, he was thinking about finding an opportunity for his son. Even if he only brought a part of the army to the front line, he could put an end to this idea in his son's mind. But Li Ke, the king of Shu, was frightened by the court. He was in trouble again and again. Now that he has come to Chengdu, he can live a good life. This is already quite good. As for leading troops to the front line, I really don’t have that idea now. .

What about winning a battle? Now that General Tiance's Mansion has been established, Li Xiang is already the de facto supreme commander of the army. Even if you win a battle, you can only serve as a deputy general. Is it possible that Li Shimin can make General Tiance? The government canonized him?

What's more, winning a battle on the battlefield is never that easy. Ever since Xue Yantuo's defeat, every time he closed his eyes, the young prince felt extremely tormented. Those old subordinates who could sacrifice their lives for him were in trouble every time. It was too uncomfortable to be there when he was thinking about these things.

Therefore, Li Ke, the king of Shu, only watched the Tang army from a distance, and had absolutely no intention of leading troops to the front line again. Although he had such a regret in his life, people must be self-aware and must not act recklessly at this time.

Li Xiang also sent people to explore the location of his third uncle, and learned that his third uncle was on a nearby mountain peak. Li Xiang did not go over to meet him. At this time, it was like the time when he came back that there was no way to meet him.

The empire only needs one emperor. Unless you give this position away, then the relationship between you will be better. Apart from this matter, nothing else can warm the hearts of these people.

When Xue Yantuo was defeated last time, Li Xiang and Li Chengqian did a lot of work, hoping to bring this third uncle over, but what was the final result? They still couldn't pass the test in their hearts. After all, he was the emperor's son. Who was it? Don’t have an idea about that location?

From that time on, Li Xiang understood this relationship clearly. Either you can give up the emperor's position, otherwise you can't even think about winning over these people. Everyone is the son and grandson of the dragon. Nor will he truly sacrifice his life for another person.

At this time, Li Xiang thought of Prince Yi Yinxiang of the Qing Dynasty.

In the long history, if there are princes who have contributed to the dynasty and have a very good relationship with the current emperor, I am afraid that Prince Yi Yinxiang should be ranked first.

He has always been assisting Emperor Yongzheng and has no other ideas from beginning to end. Such a person can be said to be very rare, but Li Xiang does not expect to have one like him. As long as his younger brothers and uncles do not cause trouble for him, Son, it’s time to burn incense.

The army left Chengdu at an extremely fast speed, bringing with it an army of 5,000 chieftains. These people quickly started fighting with the Chang'an army. Although there were various problems within the army, Li Xiang We will never dare to let them form an independent army.

The original chieftain had lost his fighting spirit, but his soldiers were still capable of fighting. Although they were very dissatisfied with the expedition to the south, the court's order had been issued. If they did not follow Li Xiang If you go on an expedition, then all the imperial court you have now will be taken back.

To put it bluntly, it means forcing you to join the army, whether it is a reduction policy, or letting you have the honor of the empire, no matter what you think, you have to do whatever the court says. (End of chapter)
