Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Fang Yiai played with the exquisitely crafted jade pendant and said with a bit of joy on his face.

"Taozi, go back and tell Gao Yang that this prince consort really likes this jade pendant."

"After my shift ends tomorrow, I will go to the Princess's residence and thank Gao Yang properly."

When it comes to the word "thank you", Fang Yiai's mouth corners curl up.

Seeing the strong and powerful Prince Consort Fang looking so happy because of the jade pendant given by the princess, Taozi showed a trace of sympathy on her face.

I don’t know whether Prince Consort Fang is really smart or just pretending to be confused. Her Royal Highness the Princess only likes poetry and literature and does not believe in Buddhism. How could she go to Huichang Temple frequently without any purpose?

But she could only bury these words deep in her heart.

Taozi bowed gracefully and said, "Prince Consort Fang, I will definitely pass this message to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I still have to go back and report to Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Taozi bowed slightly and quickly left this luxurious courtyard.

Fang Yiai held the jade pendant in his palm, a silly smile appearing on his face from time to time.

This was the first time Gao Yang took the initiative to give him a gift.

During evening meals.

Fang Yiai saw that his father had a gloomy face the whole time, so he held up the jade pendant, trying to make his father smile.

"Dad, this is the beautiful jade Gao Yang gave me to bless my future. Isn't it beautiful?"

When Fang Xuanling heard Fang Yiai mention the word "future", his face turned pale instantly and his breathing became more and more rapid.

The powerful official Shangshu Zuo Pushe was dismissed by His Majesty, and now he holds the empty title of Sikong, and his power has been greatly reduced.

The more Fang Xuanling thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up a stick beside him and shouted angrily.

"I told you to stay away from the King of Wei, but you didn't listen!"

"If you still want to bless my future, I will beat you to death, you rebellious son!"

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling brought the stick in his hand down heavily on Fang Yiai, causing Fang Yiai to jump up and down in agony.

"Father, I only support the King of Wei, and I didn't participate in the rebellion?"

"Why are you so unreasonable?"

It would have been better if he didn't explain. After he explained, Fang Xuanling became even angrier.

The stick in his hand hit Fang Yiai's body densely like raindrops.

Lu hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, ran over quickly, and tried to snatch the stick from Fang Xuanling's hand.

"Master, stop it, are you going to kill Yiai?"

Fang Xuanling roared, "Madam, please don't stop me. I will beat this rebellious son to death today!"

He served as Shangshu Zuo Pushe for more than 20 years, but was dismissed by the emperor because of his rebellious son Fang Yiai, which ruined his reputation in his later years.

How could Fang Xuanling, who was cautious and never boastful, tolerate this?

Lu shouted to Fang Yizhi and Fang Yize, "Yizhi, Yize, come here and take the stick away, or Yiai will be beaten to death by your father!"

"Oh, good."

The two brothers Fang Yizheng and Fang Yize woke up as if from a dream, and they hurried over to help.

Because Fang Xuanling was so angry that his eyes went red, Fang Yizheng and Fang Yize were also hit several times before they grabbed the stick.

Mrs. Lu quickly protected Fang Yiai, whose body was covered with bruises, behind her and spoke in a crying voice.

"Master, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How can you be so cruel?"

"Besides, Yiai didn't participate in the King of Wei's rebellion, and he has been behaving well and sensibly recently. Don't bring the humiliation you suffer in the court home!"

Because Fang Yiai was of similar age to the King of Wei, they hung out together every day when they were studying at the Imperial College.

The ministers' descendants have a good relationship with the princes. Doesn't this prove that the emperor and his ministers have a good relationship?

Who could have thought that when the King of Wei grew up, he would begin to have ideas about the throne.

"Humph!"

Fang Xuanling, whose whole body was shaking with anger, stared at Fang Yiai and then said angrily.

"A loving mother often loses her son!"

"Our Fang family will be killed by this rebellious son sooner or later!"

After saying this, Fang Xuanling flicked his sleeves and left the side hall angrily.

Lu looked at Fang Yiai, whose body was covered in bruises, with tears in her eyes, and her heart felt as if it was being cut open.

She pointed in the direction of the door and cursed, "Fang Xuanling, I'm not done with you!"

After scolding her, she lifted her skirt with both hands and walked towards the backyard with an angry face.

There was silence for more than ten breaths.

Fang Yizhi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Second brother, what have you done recently? Why is Dad so angry?"

Fang Yiai said with a sad face: "I haven't done anything recently!"

Fang Yiai, who was beaten up for no reason, was heartbroken at this moment.

Come to think of it, he hasn't done anything bad recently!

Besides, his father had already beaten him up for the incident involving the King of Wei, so there was no reason for him to continue beating him.

"Ah!" Fang Yizheng sighed, then patted Fang Yiai on the shoulder and said, "Second Brother, the political situation is very clear now. The prince will ascend the throne. You must not be stubborn!"

Fang Yizheng now only holds the civil official title of Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, and without Li Shimin's special edict, he does not need to attend court meetings.

Therefore, he didn't know the news of Li Chengqian's accident.

Fang Yiai looked around, then whispered mysteriously, "Brother, Third Brother, we received an urgent report from Liaodong today. The Crown Prince was attacked by tens of thousands of Xueyantuo cavalry and accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg!"

"The prince broke his leg again?"

Fang Yizheng and Fang Yize were both shocked.

Fang Yiai nodded. Even though he was grimacing in pain, he still forced a smile and said.

"We still don't know which leg the prince broke. If it's the good leg that's broken..."

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Hearing Fang Yiai's sinister smirk, Fang Yizheng and Fang Yize's hearts trembled.

Is it possible that King Wei still has a chance to return to Chang'an?

If the King of Wei comes back, I'm afraid the peaceful court situation will be disrupted again!

...

Liaodong.

Anshi City.

While undercurrents were surging in Chang'an City, Du He was chatting with Li Chengqian who was lying on the bed.

Li Chengqian flipped through the battle report in his hand over and over again, a look of relief on his face.

"Du He, Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, and Xue Rengui fought really well in this battle!"

"Through the unexpected night attack, we directly wiped out 31025 Xueyantuo cavalrymen, and we only suffered more than casualties."

"Xue Rengui is worthy of being the best general under my command. He tracked down Baili and killed Dadushe and Tulishi, avenging me and you."

After he finished speaking, he said it with some regret in his tone.

"It's a pity that it was getting late, and thousands of Xueyantuo cavalry escaped. It's a pity!"

After nearly ten days, the pain from the broken leg had eased a lot, and with Du He's guidance over the past few days, Li Chengqian also came out of his decadence.

Du He glanced at Li Chengqian's swollen leg with a look of worry on his face, and then spoke softly.

"The Xueyantuo nomadic people pose all threats to the Tang Dynasty from their flexible cavalry."

"Now their main cavalry force has been destroyed by Su Dingfang and his troops. If Your Majesty receives the latest battle report we sent back, he will definitely send troops to destroy Xueyantuo."
