Although Hou Junji's letter does not contain any information about the war on the front line of Goguryeo.
But Li Tai could also understand from the few words in it that Yeon Gaesumun obviously did not take any advantage in the battle to attack Cangzhou.
If Yuan Gaisuwen can capture Cangzhou, he can enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the Tang Sheji will be in the hands of Yuan Gaisuwen.
No matter how much Hou Junji tried to persuade him, no matter how much he made a promise to Hou Junji, Yeon Gaesumun would never agree.
But it happened that not long after his letter was sent out, Yeon Gaesomun agreed to the peace proposal.
this……
"Hou Junji did not explain anything about the fighting situation on the front lines in his letter."
"We don't have any news about Cangzhou either."
"But since Yeon Gaeso Moon agreed to negotiate for peace, it must be that the frontline attack is not going well, so he thought that we should fight on our own first."
"No matter what, the peace talks must continue."
"Even if we have to fight with my father first, we have no choice."
"Uncle, what do you think?" Li Tai briefly explained the situation, and finally asked Changsun Wuji.
What can Changsun Wuji say now?
He has already joined forces with Li Tai, how can he now say that he does not support Li Tai's ideas?
"I think His Highness the Crown Prince is right. Now we all have no choice."
"Even if we are going to fight among ourselves, we must first pass this level."
"I wonder what His Majesty the Crown Prince is going to do?" Changsun Wuji followed Li Tai's words and asked about Li Tai's plans.
The current situation is not very good for them.
Zhao Chen had already broken out from the interception of nearly a thousand Youwu Guards and headed straight for Chang'an.
Now I don't know where I am.
On the front line, Goguryeo's attack on Cangzhou failed again. The emperor was now secure in Cangzhou.
If the emperor leads his troops back to Chang'an at this time, the "business" that Li Tai managed to build with great difficulty will collapse in an instant.
On the surface, the officials in Chang'an supported him, but it was just because of his strong intimidation.
If the emperor comes back, those people will turn against him as soon as possible.
Therefore, Li Tai had to prepare first, at least not to let the emperor return to Chang'an so easily.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided to send envoys to negotiate peace with Yuan Gaisuwen, and at the same time issue an edict asking His Majesty to return to Chang'an to discuss peace matters with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"At the same time, all states and counties are strictly ordered not to support Cangzhou privately without orders from Chang'an, otherwise they will be severely punished." Kong Yingda looked at Changsun Wuji and slowly talked about the plan they had discussed before.
After listening to this, Changsun Wuji still had a calm expression on his face.
He knew very well that the so-called asking the emperor to return to Chang'an must not be that simple.
It is estimated that Li Tai was planning to attack the emperor on his way back to Chang'an.
In any case, when the emperor returns to Chang'an, he will definitely not bring the frontline troops back to Chang'an. Otherwise, how will he resist Yeon Gaesumun's attack?
And the emperor only brought a few hundred people back to the city, how could he withstand the encirclement and annihilation of the Chang'an army?
As for the so-called lack of orders from Chang'an, states and counties were not allowed to support Cangzhou. This was simply to force the emperor to return to Chang'an and force the frontline soldiers to negotiate peace.
Li Tai's road has become increasingly narrow.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you, are you planning to take action against His Majesty?" Changsun Wuji looked at Li Tai and asked.
The atmosphere in the hall was momentarily tense.
Kong Yingda looked at Li Tai and then at Changsun Wuji, feeling a little heavy.
Of course Li Tai was ready to take action against the emperor.
Without taking action against the emperor, Li Tai would be just a prince, a puppet who would never have a say.
Even now this puppet is desperately climbing up.
But as soon as the emperor returns to Chang'an, Li Tai, the puppet, will be knocked to the ground.
Now, Li Tai wants to fight for his own.
Kong Yingda also has no way out at this moment.
But Changsun Wuji was different from them.
Changsun Wuji had been following the emperor for a long time, and suddenly agreed to follow Li Tai.
Now that they suddenly asked this question, Li Tai and Kong Yingda would inevitably feel worried.
Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji with a gloomy expression. After a brief silence, a smile broke out on Li Tai's face.
"Why would my uncle say this? My father is old. This time he personally conquered Goguryeo and was hit by a poisonous arrow again."
"As the prince, I just want to invite my father to return to the palace to rest and fulfill his filial piety."
"The Emperor was getting old back then, so my father was also concerned about the Emperor in every possible way!" Li Tai said with a smile.
It was as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing.
What Li Tai said was very clear.
He just wanted to imitate the emperor's method of seizing power. As for the emperor's life, as long as he stayed peacefully in the harem, he could live out his next life comfortably.
But if the emperor doesn't want to do this, then Li Taike will...
"Uncle, you made great contributions when my father forced me to go to the palace. Think about it, my uncle won't refuse me this time, right?" Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile.
But there was a hint of sharpness in this smile.
Changsun Wuji was slightly startled, then nodded with a smile, "Everything will be subject to the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince."
…
"call--"
"It's really dangerous. Fortunately, that old guy Changsun Wuji left, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to enter the city today."
In Chang'an City, Cheng Chumo let out a long breath and spoke to Zhao Chen with lingering fear.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.
They had just come in from outside the city, and were not embarrassed by the soldiers guarding the city to see if they were wearing masks.
No soldiers even took a second look at them.
"There were too many people entering the city, and they were too tired to check one by one, so as soon as Changsun Wuji left, they didn't bother to check." Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
Once they entered the city, they were one step closer to their goal.
"Where did that kid Li Ke go?" Zhao Chen looked around and saw no sign of Li Ke.
That boy was the first among them to arrive in the city.
"He just said he would find a safer place to stay first." Qin Huaiyu said, pointing to the people walking in front of him.
For a while, it was still difficult for them to accept each other's new look.
"Sir, I almost didn't recognize him!" Li Ke said with a smile and came to a few people.
"You guys go find a place to stay first. Ruoshuang and I will go somewhere else and I'll let you know if anything happens."
"In the past few days, you should pay more attention to the movements around the academy."
"Note, do not take off the mask at any time."
"In the inn over there, please pay attention to safety at all times." Zhao Chen and several others warned.
The mission of Cheng Chumo and the three of them was to transfer all the people in the Zhao Mansion.
Of course, this is after finding the opportunity.
The goal now is to figure out what's going on over there.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to your own safety." Cheng Chumo nodded and left with Qin Huaiyu and Li Ke.
"Where are we going now?" Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen beside him asked among the crowd.
"Go to the Wei Mansion." Zhao Chen looked to the northeast and said.?
