Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3171 Lone Hussar
When Li Chengqian saw Princess Gaoyang sitting down angrily, although he was unwilling, he finally saved face for the crown prince, and he was in a good mood. This generous gift has already been delivered to the mansion, and I hope Linchuan will accept it with a smile. We brothers and sisters rarely have the time to be in the same room, and as an elder brother alone, we hope to have a few drinks with you today."

He is the eldest son, the eldest brother of all the princes and princesses, and by expressing his position this time, he has more and more used his elder brother's aura to overwhelm everyone.

Princess Linchuan had a quarrel with Princess Gaoyang just now, knowing that the crown prince cares most about siblings, she dared not be rude anymore, and said with a forced smile: "What the prince brother said is very true, and my sister is very honored."

As soon as Li Chengqian came, he naturally took the lead, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually eased.

Unexpectedly, Jin Wang Li Zhi took a sip of tea at this time, looked at Princess Linchuan with a smile, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what funny things you sisters said before, why don't you tell me, so that we can be happy too?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent for an instant.

No matter how dull a person is, he can still feel the embarrassment in the previous hall, which seems to be filled with a bit of gunpowder, so why is there any "fun thing"?

This is obviously provocative...

Li Tai, king of Wei, sipped his tea, and glanced at Li Zhi, who had a "pure and youthful" face, with a blank expression on his face and a smile in his heart.

This pheasant slave is really not a fuel-efficient lamp...

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, glanced at Li Zhi, and immediately said with a smile: "The pheasant slave is really curious...but Gu also has some interest, but I don't know what happened before?"

When he said this, he looked at Princess Changle.

Among the sisters, Changle is the most stable, so you should understand his thoughts.The current situation is unpredictable, Chang'an is turbulent, all kinds of ghosts and snakes are coveting, if there is a disagreement among the royal family, no one knows where the situation will go under the chain reaction.

At the very least, the royal family must maintain superficial unity, and cannot bring conflicts between them to the table, let alone intensify them...

For the prince, no matter what, the word "stability" is the most important at the moment. As long as the situation is stable, he will be in a favorable position if he holds a righteous name.

But once there is turmoil within the royal family, serious differences, or even turning against each other and parting ways, it will allow some people with ulterior motives to find opportunities.

Only when there is chaos, can we take millet out of the fire...

Princess Changle seldom interferes in politics, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand these things.From the moment Li Zhi asked, she realized Li Zhi's intentions, and after listening to Li Chengqian's words, she became more and more aware.

But before she opened her mouth, Princess Qinghe said crisply: "Brother Prince, I don't know, some people cursed the Duke of Yue to defeat Hexi... It's really short-sighted, don't you know that once the Yue Kingdom If the army is defeated, not only will life be lost, but Guanzhong will also suffer from military disasters? Moreover, the elder brother of the prince has the responsibility of supervising the country. If the enemy invades Guanzhong, the elder brother of the prince must bear the responsibility of losing the battle and losing his land, and he will face criticism and criticism from the government and the opposition..."

The hall became more and more silent.

Princess Changle pursed her lips and kept silent, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

The sisters have all grown up and started their own families. They are no longer innocent and innocent, and all their thoughts are related to their own interests.

Everyone has their own thoughts, the distance is getting farther and farther...

When Princess Linchuan heard this, her complexion changed immediately, she glared at Princess Qinghe, and hurriedly argued: "Where did you ever have such thoughts? It's just a matter of talking, even if you feel that the Duke of Yue is not talented enough, With limited ability, there is little chance of winning against a strong enemy, but how can he be expected to be defeated when he is fighting for the country this time? My sister, don't talk nonsense."

Princess Qinghe smiled, and her youthful and delicate face was full of innocence and beauty: "It turned out that I made a mistake to blame sister Linchuan, and my sister will compensate you. You won't be angry with my sister, right? Haha, it's such an important military matter, my sister Never understood."

Princess Linchuan was so angry that she almost wanted to pounce on this little girl and bite her to death.

You've hurt me a lot, obviously favoring Princess Gaoyang, and then you said you don't understand anything?

Shut up if you don't understand!

Yan Wang, Qi Wang, Jiang Wang and others were silent, drinking tea with their heads down, not daring to say a word.

Li Chengqian had some headaches, and said with a wry smile: "In war, there is never a battle that is guaranteed to be won, and naturally there is no such thing as a battle that is guaranteed to be defeated. The Duke of Yue is high-minded and upright, and has the courage to take responsibility. He is a role model for my generation. We must bear in mind the impassionedness with which he accepted orders in the face of danger and came out of the town of Xihe, as for victory or defeat... All plans are up to man and God, everything depends on God's will."

This is a bit decadent, but it is an indisputable fact.

He is under too much pressure at the moment.

It would be fine if Fang Jun wins, but once he loses, Li Chengqian will be subjected to extremely heavy criticism and criticism, and his prestige will plummet.

No one will emphasize those objective factors, and everyone will only care about the result. As long as Fang Jun is defeated, it means that the prince's ability is not enough to determine the world, conquer the world, and even rise to the height of "destiny" - God is not blessed How dare you steal the crown prince's place?

Otherwise, if it is the destiny, some bad luck will be swept away, and the weak can defeat the strong and turn defeat into victory under any situation.

If you don't believe me, go to the history books. Didn't any emperor throughout the ages have a "great luck" protection?
Emperor Qin Shihuang, Han Gaozu, Han Wudi, Sui Wendi, Sui Yangdi, Gaozu Emperor... Even His Majesty Li Er was the same. Everyone in the world thought that he would be cut off by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but it turned out that he was under the "Xuanwumen" Fighting to determine the universe, turning defeat into victory, winning against the odds... Look, this is what the destiny belongs to, and it has its own protection from heaven.

This is by no means alarmist. In this era, people have unparalleled worship of "Heaven", and believe that "Heaven" controls everything in the world. That is something more important than the virtue and ability of the "Son of Heaven".

Only by "being ordered by heaven" can one become the supreme being in the world, which is the root of "imperial power bestowed by heaven".

Your prince has not been favored by the heavens, which proves that he is not the person "heaven" likes. "Heaven does not give orders", so naturally he is not qualified to inherit the great rule...

From a legal point of view, Li Chengqian would be extremely passive.

Wei Wang Li Tai shook his head, put down his teacup, and said: "In the battle for supremacy, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Han Gaozu started in the grassy cottages, gathered a group of mobs, and faced the overlord Xiang Yu repeatedly. , and was even forced to be trapped in the barren land of Bashu...But in the end, the next battle will determine the fate of the world. Before the final ending, who can know who is the destiny? Don't listen to the slander of those villains, prince brother, it's just a group of people who only fear It’s just a silverfish that’s not chaotic, don’t worry about it.”

Now he has completely given up the idea of ​​competing for the heir, and only hopes that the royal family will unite and love each other, and don't want to fight each other for the sake of position, so now he is firmly on the side of the prince.

Naturally, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Zhi's aggressiveness and ambition.

Li Chengqian's heart was full of gloom, and he forced a smile on his face: "The words of the blue bird are very close to my heart. It's just that the rumors are terrible, and it's hard to stop everyone's mouth..."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, so he stopped talking and frowned slightly.

Princess Linchuan looked ugly, and raised her voice: "Who is outside? Get out of here!"

The people present here are all emperors and nobles, the most noble people in the world, those servants and servants don't know how to be polite, disturbing the prince's speech, wouldn't it make people laugh at her for having no rules in the Princess Linchuan mansion?

As soon as the words were finished, the door was opened from the outside, and a servant walked in, bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's not us who are being rude, but the officials from the East Palace who came here with the eight hundred miles urgent battle report in hand. , to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Huh!"

There was an exclamation in the hall.

An urgent battle report at eight hundred miles?At this moment, the whole country of the Tang Dynasty is fighting, and Liaodong, Hexi, and the Western Regions are all in flames of war. Millions of troops are constantly attacking, but when the battle report arrives, no matter what aspect it is, it must be a matter of great urgency.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Bring him quickly!"

"Here!"

The servant turned around and went out. After a while, an official of the Eastern Palace in armor stepped in quickly, without looking sideways, and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Chengqian, raised the red-covered battle report in his hands with both hands, and said loudly: "The Duke of Yue sent someone The battle report arrived. Five days ago, the Youtun Guard and the Tuyuhun army fought a bloody battle to pull out the valley. After one day of fighting, the Youtun Guard won a complete victory. They killed more than [-] enemies and took more than [-] prisoners. Tuyuhun Khan Nuohebo Leading the defeated army to flee desperately! The Battle of Hexi... a big victory!"

There was silence in the hall, the news came too suddenly, one moment they were arguing whether Fang Jun won or lost, and the next moment the news came, and it was... a big victory!
Li Chengqian couldn't bear it any longer, he didn't care about losing his stability, and jumped up from the chair all at once, the limped leg seemed to have recovered, and with extremely quick movements, he snatched the battle report from the officer's hand and dismantled it. After taking a cursory look at the gun paint, he couldn't hide his excitement anymore. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, expressing his heart: "Hexi has won a great victory, the enemy has retreated! The soldiers of Yue State are like gods, and the flag is victorious. They are really lonely hussars. and also!"
