Li Xiang didn't know what to say at this moment. Behind every prince there would be some people. Even if King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Zhi of Jin couldn't lift their heads after being beaten by him, there would still be people behind them to stand for them.
King Li You of Qi was the only one who was good at speaking, but no one stood up to speak to him.
According to the original history, many princes may be demoted to county kings, but since Li Xiang came, many conflicts have been covered up, and the current trend is different from the original history. At least these princes are still
He is a prince, and Qi Wang Li You can be said to be the first person to be demoted.
The faces of all the civil and military officials in the court showed shock, mainly because they had never encountered it before. However, it was obvious that this edict had been written long ago, and the reason why it was chosen to be taken out at this time was also to calm the situation.
Li Xiang's mood.
To be honest, when he first left Chang'an, Li Xiang really wanted to tear that guy into pieces. It took a lot of effort for us to have the perfect situation now. After you went there, you almost killed him because you couldn't control yourself.
All of us were dragged into the abyss. Fortunately, this matter was resolved well. If this matter had not been resolved, Li Xiang would have thought of killing that guy with a knife.
Although there is a reason for this, Li Xiang also investigated it. If Li You's moral character is acceptable, then this matter must have nothing to do with him. As long as you are strict with yourself, others will not find any flaws in you.
How could such a thing be used against you? The reason why you are being used by others is because your own moral character is not up to par.
Next, they talked about some trivial matters. Of course, among these trivial matters, there were one or two important ones, which was to ask Su Dingfang to follow him to Nanzhao.
Li Shimin naturally agreed to such a thing. Now everyone is surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and Nanzhao is no exception. If Li Xiang can deceive us into stationing troops there, Nanzhao will now be on par with other countries in the Western Regions.
Likewise, continue to expand Datang's influence.
In order to commend Li Xiang for his contribution in the Western Regions, Li Shimin asked all members of the royal family to stay for lunch. This was also a gathering within the royal family. Although these people present were unwilling to flatter Li Xiang, they did not dare to violate it.
Against Li Shimin's wishes, he could only stay and face Li Xiang with his stiff smile.
Li Xiang could finally see that, except for King Wu Li Ke who sincerely wished him the best, no one else in the royal family had any intentions at all. When these people changed cups, there was always some intention to attack you in their words.
It's just that they don't have the strength.
"You should have been prepared for something like this. If you are not prepared for this, then you are not suitable for this position. When I came back from the Turks, I received more than ten times more bad looks than you did.
Not to mention these members of the royal family, even some of the first officials in Chang'an City don't take me seriously, and even the eunuchs in the palace don't take my mother and concubine seriously."
King Wu Li Ke saw that the smile on Li Xiang's face had disappeared, and then he picked up his wine glass. The last time he came back from the Turks, King Wu Li Ke understood all this. Later, he stayed at his home for a while, and he could see through it.
Although the emperor asked King Wu Li Ke to continue to go to court, there was no serious errand at the moment. It was just a little better than before. To put it bluntly, the emperor was disappointed with him and could not rest assured to arrange any errands for him.
he.
"Third uncle seems to be an eminent monk. After the last great change, I feel that third uncle has restrained all his sharp edges. If there is such a chance in the future, third uncle should still be able to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."
What Li Xiang said was his true feeling. It turned out that King Wu Li Ke had a good relationship with him, but because of Li Shimin's deception, King Wu Li Ke couldn't stand the temptation. This is also normal. As the emperor's son, who
Don’t you want to get into that position?
It is a pity that the prediction of the battlefield was wrong, mainly because he went to the expedition in too hasty. The reason why Li Xiang was able to win in a hurry was purely because of a system. If the King of Wu Li Ke also had a system, he would not have been able to do so.
The Turks failed on the battlefield, but it is a pity that he did not.
"Whether I can go to the battlefield or not depends on you. Now the entire court is disappointed in me. Even if I just come here to listen, it makes many people very uncomfortable."
In such an occasion, Wu Wang Li Ke could say such words, and Li Xiang could also understand what the other party was thinking. There were many villains in the entire court, and they were willing to see people of noble blood like Wu Wang Li Ke.
People eat turtles, even if they can't survive in their hands, so the satisfaction in their hearts is very overwhelming.
"Don't worry, Third Uncle, there will be many battles to fight in the future. For example, to the north of Goguryeo, we will continue to go north. There are also some places to conquer over there. Although there is no pressure on us yet, there is no pressure on us except those of our race.
The heart must be different.”
When Li Xiang was talking, he took out some recorded letters. Some generals in the north of Goguryeo had already written. There were also some nomadic peoples in the north of Goguryeo. Although a unified country had not yet been formed, there were also differences between the various tribes.
A small-scale political power has been formed. When they become stronger, these people will probably go south.
This is almost a common denominator for nomadic peoples to plunder agricultural peoples, and nothing can stop them.
Li Xiang knew that the two most powerful tribes there were the Heishui and Limo tribes. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Bohai Governor's Palace would be set up there. However, it has not yet formed a big force, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. But according to some
Letter from the general: These people in the north are becoming more and more excessive. If they continue to invade our border, they may have to send troops to conquer.
King Wu Li Ke is a talented person, mainly because he has figured out the logistics. Such a person should realize his glory on the battlefield. The purpose of Li Xiang's words is also to hope that King Wu Li Ke knows what he wants, and he may not necessarily need it one day in the future.
You're on the battlefield, so don't be silent at home during this period of time. If your fighting spirit is worn away, then there are some things that no one can save you from, and you may never be able to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield in your lifetime.
