Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3682 Unreasonable
When Li Chengqian saw Xiao Yu's firmness, he couldn't persuade him any more. In fact, no one was more suitable to lobby Li Ji than Xiao Yu...

He had no choice but to exhort: "Song Guogong is devoted to the public, and he has no place to feel lonely! Later, Li Junxian will be dispatched to lead a hundred cavalry elites to escort him. You must also prepare a lot of travel materials, clothing and food. This journey is very difficult. You may sleep in the open air, and you must not burn your body. You should also bring some medicines, and simply assign an imperial physician to accompany you to ensure safety... It is important to lobby the British public, but Song Guogong's health is equally important. God's will is like this, you must not do it by force, and don't let Gu Xin feel guilty and hurt."

Although Guanzhong is prosperous, except for the cities and towns, the wild places are equally desolate and difficult. Since this road has to avoid the rebels’ blockade, it is natural to choose the mountain trails. This is no different to Xiao Yu’s age. A great ordeal.

What's more, this Song country is fair and well-mannered, how has he ever had such a long-distance sneak experience?

Xiao Yu was grateful. Although the prince rambled about his mother-in-law and mother, he could feel the sincere concern and worry of the prince, not just pretending, but naturally moved.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister will surely complete his mission and return safely."

……

After discussing some details in detail, the ministers withdrew, and Xiao Yu went to prepare the luggage and set off immediately.

Li Chengqian sent someone to summon Li Junxian, and ordered him to lead a hundred cavalry elites to escort him along the way. He must ensure Xiao Yu's personal safety, and Li Junxian took orders in a deep voice.

Li Junxian had just left, and Li Chengqian asked the servant to make a pot of tea, and only took a sip, and then the servant entered Neitong and said, "His Royal Highness, the King of Jiangxia County asks to see you."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, put the teacup on the table, and nodded, "Xuan."

"Here."

Li Chengqian frowned when the servants withdrew. This was just the end of the discussion. What else did Li Daozong come to see?
After a while, Li Daozong quickly stepped inside and stepped forward to greet him: "Wei Chen has an audience with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Why do you have to be more polite, Uncle Prince? Hurry up and take a seat."

Li Chengqian asked Yan Yue to sit down and asked the servant to serve tea to Li Daozong, and then asked, "Is there something important for Uncle Jun?"

Li Daozong swayed the teacup in his palm, pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at Li Chengqian, and said softly, "Your Highness, do you think... Erlang is a little wrong?"

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then waved to the servants in the house: "Go out, no one is allowed to approach."

"Here."

The servants filed out, closed the door, and stayed outside the door to be careful not to let anyone else approach.

Only then did Li Chengqian ask, "Why did Uncle Jun Wang make such a statement?"

Could it be that Fang Er was possessed by a demon and devoured his soul, so he was discovered by Li Daozong...

Li Daozong put down the teacup and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness is very familiar with Erlang and knows his character well. Did you ever think that he is such a person who doesn't know the importance and doesn't care about the overall situation?"

Fang Jun asked Xiao Yu about this, and Xiao Yu answered "yes", but Li Chengqian didn't think so.

He said slowly: "Of course not, Erlang seems to act recklessly at ordinary times, but in fact, most of the time, he plans to move later, especially at critical junctures. ... what is Uncle Prince trying to say?"

Although Fang Jun's fellow has nothing to do with "cunning", he is absolutely smart and clever.

He didn't understand why Li Daozong asked that.

Li Daozong leaned forward and said in a low voice: "The general trend of the peace talks lies in the fact that even if there are many resentments in the army, they actually understand the truth of keeping the East Palace for the time being and making plans later. "

Li Chengqian was silent, looking at Li Daozong in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Li Daozong continued: "It's not because the ministers are busy, it's because Erlang's actions are not in line with his usual temperament... He also opposed peace talks before, thinking that making peace talks with Guanlong is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. He will face the rebellion of Guan Long, but in general, he is forced to follow the trend. However, since he went to meet the British Lord, Erlang's mind of fighting to the death has become more and more determined, and he has almost zero tolerance for peace talks..."

Li Chengqian sucked in a breath, stared at Li Daozong with wide eyes, and couldn't believe it: "Uncle Jun suspects that Erlang has secretly colluded with the British prince? Could it be that Erlang deliberately sabotaged the peace talks and wanted to drive the East Palace to a dead end? "

"what?"

Li Daozong was startled and waved his hand quickly: "Your Highness misunderstood, Erlang is loyal to His Highness, and the sun can learn from it. How can he do such infidelity and injustice?"

If the prince's words spread out, I am afraid that the second roommate will be able to chase and kill him Li Daozong with a knife, vowing to kill him, the slanderer...

Li Chengqian frowned and said puzzledly, "What exactly does Uncle Jun Wang want to say?"

He naturally believed in Fang Jun very much. Even if the entire East Palace betrayed and abandoned him, he firmly believed that Fang Jun would definitely follow him, fight side by side with him, and die.

This is the trust that the two have come to today hand in hand step by step over the years, and the trust that has been honed after countless setbacks and hardships will never be suspected because of some incomprehensible situation.

He claims that he is not a generation of monarchs, and his ability to govern the country is not comparable to that of his father and many heroes in history, but he also has his own persistence and self-confidence.

A benevolent and righteous person like Fang Jun, as long as he treats him with sincerity, no matter when or where, he will never fail.

If anyone told him that Fang Jun would betray him, he would be able to slap him, not even Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County...

Li Daozong hurriedly explained: "What Wei Chen wants to say is that since Luoyang's return, Erlang has fought hard and his will is very firm. Something must have happened, otherwise it would not have made him so tough."

Li Chengqian was at a loss: "So, what happened?"

Isn't this still suspected of collusion between Fang Jun and Li Ji?

Li Daozong opened his mouth and found that he seemed to have dug a hole for himself.His original intention was to say that Fang Jun went to Luoyang, and after he came back, he fought harder and harder. Something must have happened in the meantime, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

But what happened, he didn't actually know, but he had doubts in his heart.

However, this suspicion could not be expressed, even if the prince was not in person at the moment... He wanted to remind the prince with words, but the prince was puzzled and completely unaware of his suggestion.

After hesitating for a while, Li Daozong could only say: "His Royal Highness may wish to ask Erlang openly and honestly, and the minister can't say more, otherwise he will be suspected of questioning his colleagues."

Li Chengqian nodded slowly if he realized something.

After Li Daozong left, Li Chengqian sat alone in the hall drinking tea slowly, scrutinizing Li Chengqian's words repeatedly in his mind.

First of all, is Li Daozong such a villain who is trying to sow discord and sow discord?
Absolutely not.

This clan king has outstanding military exploits and can be called the "No. 3 general of the clan" after his father and Hejian County King. He is in the prime of life and deeply trusted by his father. Because he is the crown prince bestowed by his father, and his father has never deposed him for a day, so he is the object of his allegiance.

Since it wasn't to sow discord and tell lies, it meant that Li Daozong really felt that Fang Jun's change was a bit abrupt and not in line with cleaning up.

So, what was it that made Fang Jun, who had been reluctant to accept peace talks before, suddenly become tough to the end.It was impossible for Fang Jun not to know that the East Palace would be overthrown in the event of a deadly battle, and although the peace talks were suffocating, it also caused the East Palace to lose a certain prestige, but it could ensure that the East Palace was safe and sound.

Only people who are alive can make a comeback and counterattack. Once the East Palace is overturned, everything will be empty. How can Fang Jun not understand this?

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Li Ji to "rebel" Fang Jun. Fang Jun's loyalty to him, the prince, is beyond doubt. As early as when he was about to be abandoned by his father and the whole dynasty was all enemies, he fully supported him, regardless of return. It is this kind of enthusiasm that makes Li Chengqian's perception of Fang Jun know that he is beyond the feelings of the monarch and his ministers, and regards him as a "confidant", and he is determined to never fail.

The changeable thing did happen after lobbying Li Ji, which naturally meant that it must be what Li Ji said and did.

He couldn't think of the reason for Fang Jun's transformation, but when he thought of Li Daozong's expression of hesitating to speak, his heart jumped.

An inexplicable heart palpitations rose for no reason...
