Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 256 Unexpectedly
"Then don't make Qingque the king, but change his sons Li Xin and Li Hui to be kings. You should have no objection to that!" Li Er asked.

"My son thinks it's wrong. Qing Que was convicted for seizing the heir and was demoted as a commoner. How can his son be crowned king? This is not in line with the rules of ancestors' etiquette." Li Chengqian objected.

In history, Li Chengqian was abolished as a commoner and exiled to Qianzhou. His son was not crowned king, so why should the son of Li Tai, who is also a sinner, be crowned king.

There was a stalemate between father and son, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. Finally, Li Er sighed and didn't say much about it.

Li Chengqian was also relieved because of this, as long as he didn't mention it again, the matter would be over.

"I'm tired! You step back!" Li Er said angrily, his son's wings were hardened, and he didn't feel weird anymore, and he was also very sad.

"My son, leave!" Li Chengqian bowed knowingly and retreated, and he went to provoke Li Er again.

During the next few days, Li Er didn't mention anything about making Li Tai and his son kings.

Instead, it is dealing with the affairs of the Guligan clan, except for the Guligan clan's submission to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er also ordered Wang Boli, the governor of Songzhou, and others to build hundreds of large ships from the twelve states in the south of the Yangtze River, intending to use these large ships to conquer Goguryeo.

It seems that Li Er's death of Goguryeo is not dead, and he still wants to complete the event of annihilating Goguryeo in one fell swoop in his lifetime.

Unfortunately!He will never see Goguryeo perish in his life!

Later, Li Er accepted Chuoqiyouyou of the Nuci tribe and led more than 1 people from his tribe to join Datang.

Soon after, the Turkic Chebi Khan sent envoys to the court to pay tribute to express his submission.

Chebi Khan was a Turkic aristocrat. He originally joined Xue Yantuo when Xue Yantuo's power grew, but some people in Xue Yantuo worried that Chebi Khan would become a disaster.

He suggested to Yi Nan to get rid of Che Bi Khan, but somehow leaked the news and let Che Bi Khan escape. Yi Nan sent thousands of cavalry to chase him down, but was defeated by Che Bi Khan.

He established a tooth tent at the northern foot of Jinshan Mountain, and called himself Yizhu Chebi Khan. All the remaining Turkic forces came to submit to him. Within a few years, he had [-] troops, and he often opposed Xue Yantuo.

After Xue Yantuo's demise, Chebi Khan's power became stronger. In order not to attract the Tang Dynasty's army to destroy him, he sent envoys to Chang'an to express his surrender.

Later, Zhao Mo, the leader of the Western Zhao barbarian tribe, led the whole tribe to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er changed his residence to Mingzhou.

Even Li Er's illness has recovered during this time, and Li Er will come to court every three days.

Generally speaking, during this period of time, the situation in Datang was very good.

Li Chengqian did not expect that in the end, Li Er issued an edict to re-designate Li Tai as king, and Li Tai's son Li Hui as the king of Xin'an County.

"You mean, Your Majesty has issued an edict to make Li Tai the King of Pu and Li Hui the King of Xin'an? How is this possible?" Li Chengqian couldn't believe it. He thought the matter would be exposed, but Li Er still couldn't forget it.

Li Tai was crowned king again, which was beyond Li Chengqian's expectation.

"Yes, sir, the news from Menxia Province is definitely not wrong! Now the edict has been sent out of Chang'an City!" Wang Quan said.

When he got the news, he was the first to report to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian frowned. At the beginning, Li Er obviously had the intention of giving up and making Li Tai king again, but why did he think of making Li Tai king again a few months later.

Today, Li Er urgently summoned the officials from the three provinces to go there. Li Chengqian didn't pay much attention at first, but he didn't know that it was to make Li Tai the king.

Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out, it would be great if he could put eyeliner beside Li Er, but it was impossible to put eyeliner beside Li Er.

"Your Majesty! I heard that during these days, King Jin often sees His Majesty!" Wang Quan said.

"Your Majesty has always loved King Jin, why is he making such a fuss about seeing His Majesty often?" Li Chengqian asked puzzled.

"Mr. Lang, this is different from what I thought. If the servants want to come now, there must be something strange in it." Wang Quan said.

"Oh! What's so strange?" Li Chengqian suddenly became interested, and he wanted to see the difference.

Wang Quan stepped forward and whispered something in Li Chengqian's ear.

"Is this true?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It's absolutely true! I dare not hide anything!" Wang Quan said.

Could it be that Li Zhi, a brat, was playing tricks behind his back? It seems that I underestimated him too much!Li Chengqian thought in his heart.

How can it be so simple for a guy who can move Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang with rich political experience, and who can suppress only one generation of queens in his lifetime.

Li Chengqian actually underestimated him, but fortunately, Li Zhi had his own eyeliner around him, so he couldn't monitor Li Er, and he couldn't monitor Li Zhi.

"Go and find out, what happened to King Jin recently?" Li Chengqian said, he had already asked Wang Quan to put eyeliner beside Li Zhi.

Of course, Li Chengqian secretly placed Jinyiwei's spies beside Li Zhi.

This is called double insurance. Even if Wang Quan's eyeliner doesn't work, Jin Yiwei's spies will come in handy.

"No! This servant is going!" Wang Quan took the order to retreat, while Li Chengqian waited for the good news here.

An hour later, Wang Quan went back and forth, and reported to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty! The servant has already asked about the eyeliner. King Jin hasn't had any changes recently, and everything is normal."

"In addition to seeing His Majesty every day, the foreigner Zhang Changling discusses poetry and songs together."

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, whether it was normal or not could only be judged by listening to the news from Jin Yiwei.

Long before Wang Quan came back, Li Chengqian secretly arranged for Jin Yiwei to investigate the situation, and he believed that there would be results soon.

Not long after, Long Zhi appeared in front of Li Chengqian in person.

"See Your Highness!" Long Zhi saluted.

"Bo Cheng doesn't need to be too polite! How's the situation?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I have placed a secret agent next to the King of Jin to report that the King of Jin often conspires with this man named Zhang Changling."

"It's just that His Royal Highness Jin and this Zhang Changling concealed it. The spies dare not get too close, for fear of arousing suspicion. I don't know what to say."

"There are also people who were placed next to King Jin by Neifang Ling who have been instigated by King Jin's people, and there are even King Jin's eyeliners in the East Palace." Long Zhi said.

Only the three of them were present in this hall. Wang Quan and Long Zhi were both Li Chengqian's confidantes, so Long Zhi dared to say so directly.

Li Chengqian never expected that Li Zhi would have the ability to send people to the East Palace. It seems that the East Palace should be rectified.

Otherwise, wouldn't any cat or dog dare to jump in front of him.

At this time, Wang Quan was already in a cold sweat, and the eyeliner he had placed next to King Jin was instigated, which was already dereliction of duty.

Now he doesn't even know that King Jin is in the East Palace's eyeliner, this is not as simple as a dereliction of duty.

He felt that he was in a catastrophe!
