Soon after, Murong Shun, on behalf of Tuyuhun, paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the Taiji Hall.
Looking at Murong Shun kneeling below, Li Zhiyun was still thinking about the news Fang Xuanling told him yesterday.
Murong Shun finally chose to kill Wu Lunqiu and did it himself.
As a result, Murong Shun had no way out. As for Lan Bu, Li Zhiyun sent someone to kill him.
There is no use keeping this kind of trick.
Since Murong Shun is available, there is no need to resort to those boring conspiracy methods.
After the routine tribute, Li Zhiyun said a few words of comfort, followed by a change of tone.
"Qu Guo Gong!"
"The end will be here!" Luo Shixin walked out of the queue.
Li Zhiyun said: "King Daning is our distinguished guest. When he returns to Tuyuhun, you can lead three thousand cavalry to escort him until you are sure that he is safe in Tuyuhun!"
Luo Shi's confidence was overjoyed. He was not stupid at such an obvious signal to take action. How could he not be moved by the obvious achievements before his eyes?
A group of old brothers in Wagang have now become the governor of a party, and he is not willing to stay in Chang'an and enjoy his happiness.
Gotta fight!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Looking at Luo Shixin, Li Zhiyun also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He had changed the fate of countless people and also allowed those who should have left a mark in history to survive.
Luo Shixin is one of them!
After hearing the emperor's words, Murong Shun's fear of killing Wu Lunqiu finally eased a lot.
With the Tang army backing him, even if he cannot defeat his father, he will not fail and can protect himself.
A few days later, Luo Shixin led three thousand cavalry to escort Murong Shun out of Chang'an.

Yang Gongren came back from the court and walked into the backyard. From a long distance, he could smell the pungent smell of wine.
"Well, King Ma Bin, you are stealing wine again. If the court finds out, you will be punished for wasting food!" Yang Gongren laughed and cursed as he walked.
After a while, I came to the pavilion and looked at the young man leaning against the pillars of the pavilion.
The young man was just in his thirties, with a beard growing on his chin and a slightly thin figure, but he had a certain demeanor.
Ma Zhou chuckled, "I wasted food, and the Prime Minister is also to blame."
"You!" Yang Gongren smiled and shook his head, walked over and sat down.
The fate is wonderful. In history, Ma Zhou was down and out and lived in Chang He's home. But now, because history has been changed beyond recognition, Ma Zhou also lives in Yang Gongren's home by chance.
Ma Zhou carried the wine bottle, walked to Yang Gongren, sat down, and took a sip.
"The Prime Minister seems to be worried?"
"Can Prince Bin be my confidant?"
Ma Zhou smiled freely and said, "When I arrived in Chang'an, the restaurant deceived me into poverty, but the Prime Minister supported me. Zhou asked himself and knew a little bit about poetry and books, and talked very happily with the Prime Minister. Naturally, he can be a close friend."
Yang Gongren smiled with satisfaction and said: "In that case, I have a question. I wonder if Prince Bin can help me answer my question."
"Please give me your words, Prime Minister."
"Since I ascended the throne, I have destroyed more than 20 large and small tribes such as the Turks, Xueyantuo, Uighurs, and Khitans in the north. Internally, I have promoted farming, treated the people well, used internal funds to help the people survive disasters, and can be a wise king.
no?"
"Within three hundred years, only Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty could rival him." Ma Zhou answered as he should.
Yang Gongren nodded and continued: "But there is something I don't understand. Your Majesty's civil, political and martial arts are all the achievements of the emperors in the prosperous times. Why has he not established a prince since he has been on the throne?"
Hearing this, Ma Zhou laughed.
"Xiangguo, you want me to give you some advice."
"Prince Bin, I know you have great talent, and I hope you can give me some advice." Yang Gongren clasped his fists.
He really had no choice, because he was the queen's elder and a minister in the court. Few people dared to approach him directly for fear of upsetting His Majesty. Therefore, there were not many intelligent people around him.
In addition, His Majesty the Emperor is very biased towards Du Ruhui and others, which makes him feel a great sense of crisis. Once he retires in the future, will the position of Crown Prince still belong to the fourth prince?
He knew Ma Zhou's talent, that's why he asked today.
Looking at Yang Gongren with sincere eyes, Ma Zhou sighed softly, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said melancholy: "It is precisely because your Majesty is such a wise master that he is very cautious in choosing the East Palace. The prince of the late emperor's dynasty
Your Majesty has personally experienced the fight with King Qin, how could you not understand the dangers involved?"
"It is for this reason that the crown prince must be appointed early to avoid internal troubles." Yang Gongren said matter-of-factly.
Ma Zhou was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiangguo, have you ever thought about what would happen if the prince your majesty now appoints does not have great talents?"
"This is impossible!" Yang Gongren said: "Prince Wuling rarely has great wisdom, and he is definitely not like Han Hui and Jin Hui."
Sure enough, it was King Wuling. Ma Zhou secretly cursed that idiots like Emperor Hui of Jin were rare in history.
"Be at peace and don't be impatient. The Prime Minister is at peace and don't be impatient." Ma Zhou comforted him: "Although I have never met King Wuling, I have heard some rumors, so naturally I will not compare him to a mediocre person. It's just the Prime Minister,
Your Majesty has not yet passed his thirties, and he is the emperor on horseback. He has ruled the world for at least several decades. It is too difficult for your majesty to establish a prince now."
Not too difficult, but impossible!
Although he is not an official in the court, he knows the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor, so no one dares to offend him.
"Changes will happen later." Yang Gongren sighed: "That's what I'm worried about."
The current emperor has many sons, and the emperor is young and can obviously continue to have more children. Moreover, many of the concubines in the harem come from aristocratic families, so there are too many uncertainties.
"If the Prime Minister is really unwilling to give up, I do have a solution." Ma Zhou said after a while.
"Come quickly!" Yang Gongren looked at him excitedly.
"Queen Mother."
"Queen Mother?"
"Yes." Ma Zhou said: "In today's world, the only people who can persuade His Majesty are those few people. In the affairs of the court, it is not the important officials in the palace such as Du, Ergong Xue, or Wei Zheng who can do it. The affairs of the harem can only be done by the Queen and the Queen Mother.
If the Crown Prince is to be established, and the Prime Minister is also planning to support King Wuling as the Crown Prince, then the Queen, as the biological mother, must not speak on this matter. Once she speaks, it will not only be unhelpful, but will be counterproductive.
Only the Queen Mother can speak, and only she can say a few words on such matters.
No one else can."
Yang Gongren thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you are right. Although Du Ruhui and others were able to persuade His Majesty, they have always been extremely cautious about appointing a prince and were not willing to speak at all. And the Queen Mother could not speak out due to her status, only the Queen Mother could.
But......"
Speaking of this, Yang Gongren sighed: "The Queen Mother has never asked about court affairs. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to persuade her to speak up."
Ma Zhou said: "Don't rush this matter, otherwise your Majesty will notice something fishy. With your Majesty's strong temper, Prime Minister, you will be in a bad situation."
"I know." Yang Gongren pursed his lips silently and said, "But I have to do this, otherwise the longer it goes on, the more detrimental it will be to King Wuling."
Speaking of this, Yang Gongren said: "If you want the Queen Mother to speak, you must first find a way to get close to Duke Runguo."
"That Queen Mother's brother?" Ma Zhou asked.
"That's right." Yang Gongren stood up, made up his mind, and said, "You have to settle the relationship with him first before you can do anything."
