Li Tai returned to his house and went directly to the study with a gloomy face.
Han Wen quickly followed. He was sent by a noble family to Li Tai. He was confident that Li Tai would not dare to do anything to him. However, Li Tai was angry now, and it would not be a good thing to have a confrontation with him.
After Li Tai sat down, he looked at Han Wen who came in. After sending all the servants away, he asked: "What did you tell me about the strange medicine from the Western Regions that will never go wrong? How do you explain it now?"
"Your Highness, I specifically tried this medicine after I bought it. The medicine is indeed as effective as what the merchants from the Western Regions said. It has no effect this time. I am afraid that the dose of the medicine for humans and horses is different. The medicine is too low, so it has no effect." Han Wen explained.
.
Li Tai said impatiently: "I don't want to hear your explanation. I spent so much money, but in the end it was useless. Now you tell me that the medicine is insufficient. Who will make up for my losses?"
He didn't really care about losing some money. The problem was that he had already imagined that Li Chengqian would fall and die, and Li Shimin would make him the prince.
I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that I entered the East Palace.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It is impossible for him to express this feeling to outsiders.
"Your Highness, the prince has already noticed it. Even if it succeeds, the prince will be fine. In my opinion, it is a good thing that it did not succeed this time." Han Wen said.
Of course Li Tai knew that even if the medicine took effect, Li Chengqian would be fine. He naturally wanted to find someone to relieve his depression.
Hearing Han Wen say that it was a good thing that it had no effect, Li Tai was furious and said: "A good thing? Even if my brother is fine, it would be good to get rid of Lin Xuan. What is the result? You still tell me that it is a good thing.
?”
"As long as His Highness can become the Crown Prince, it will not be easy to deal with Lin Xuan in the future. If the medicine has an effect, it will only scare the enemy. It will be difficult to deal with the Crown Prince in the future," Han Wen said.
Li Tai said angrily: "Since he exchanged horses with Lin Xuan, he must have noticed it. Even if Lin Xuan is fine, do you think there will be a chance in the future?"
Han Wen smiled and said: "Your Highness is overly worried. Even if the prince has doubts, doesn't this time just dispel his suspicions? If we take action in the future, will the prince still be suspicious?"
Li Tai thought about it and felt it made sense. With a smile on his face, he asked: "What good ideas do you have?"
I have a bad idea. If it weren't for the purpose of stabilizing you, why would I waste so much time?
Do you think it is so easy to plot against the prince? Without careful planning, you will simply die early.
Naturally, Han Wen would not tell Li Tai his inner thoughts and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it is not advisable to rush this matter, otherwise the prince will still become suspicious."
"What you said makes sense." Li Tai nodded.
Han Wen said: "Your Highness, during this period, you should show your goodwill to the prince and let him think that his position is stable and that you have lost your intention to compete with him. This way he will feel more at ease with your highness."
"What did you say? You asked me to show my kindness to him?" Li Tai looked at Han Wen with an ugly face.
He wished that Li Chengqian would die. It was good to see Li Chengqian show a kind look.
Now he is actually asked to show friendship to Li Chengqian?
Han Wen cursed in his heart, "What the hell, don't you even understand the arrogant soldier strategy?"
"Your Highness, this is called showing weakness to the enemy. If you want to win the position of crown prince, you must do this." Han Wen said.
Although Li Tai didn't want to show favor to Li Chengqian, he still nodded after hearing Han Wen's words.
The position of prince has become a demonic obstacle in his heart. As long as he can become the prince, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little injustice.

Tubo, Luoxue City.
Since Songtsen Gampo put down the civil strife in Tubo two months ago, he moved the capital to Luoxue City.
"Qi Zanpu, the remaining remaining forces have been wiped out, and various places have begun to recuperate and recuperate according to the previously determined strategies." Lu Dongzan said.
When Songtsen Gampo heard this, he felt somewhat satisfied.
When he succeeded to the throne at a young age, Tubo was in turmoil. In a short period of time, he first stabilized the situation in Tubo and quelled the rebel forces. He indeed had the ability to be satisfied.
"How long will it take for you to recover and mobilize your troops again?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
Ludongzan said: "Back to Zanpu, according to the previously formulated strategy, the next step is to mobilize troops against the various tribes in Supi. Now that the tribes in Supi are at odds with each other, they only need to rest for a year before launching troops."
"No, I want to use troops against the Tang Dynasty." Songtsen Gampo said in shocking words.
Lu Dongzan was stunned and said quickly: "Zanpu, let's not talk about how powerful the Tang Dynasty is. With the current national strength of Tubo, I don't know whether I can defeat him. The problem is that there is Tuyuhun between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.
"
He really couldn't understand how Zamp, who had always been wise and powerful, could say such stupid things.
"What I said is to attack Tuyuhun first, and then attack Datang." Songtsen Gampo said.
Although Songtsen Gampo was talented and strategist, he was still young. How could he swallow this sigh of relief when the Tang Dynasty rejected his proposal of marriage?
Whenever he thought about this matter, Songtsen Gampo wanted to give Datang some color.
Ludongzan said: "Zanpu, although with the current strength of Tubo, I have a great chance of winning against Tuyuhun, I still feel that we should first wipe out all the Supi tribes, and then annex Yangtong, which is the time to launch troops against Tuyuhun."
"
Songtsen Gampo waved his hand and said confidently: "I understand what you said, but the various tribes in Subi are already in turmoil, and it will be beneficial to us to drag it out. As for Yangtong, I have already married my sister to Yangtong.
King, if you invite King Yangtong to attack Tuyuhun together, King Yangtong will definitely agree. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to weaken Yangtong’s strength, and when Tuyuhun is destroyed, the various tribes of Supi can fight together with Yangtong.”
"What Zanpu said does make sense, but it is safest to start small and then big." Lu Dongzan advised.
He saw in Songtsen Gampo's eyes his hatred for the Tang Dynasty.
In his opinion, it is unwise to take personal revenge because of a rejected marriage proposal.
He had been to the Tang Dynasty and understood how powerful the Tang Dynasty was. After Tubo annexed the Supi tribes and Yangtong, and then destroyed Tuyuhun and rested for a few years, he might be able to fight the Tang Dynasty, but now is really not the right time.
"I have made up my mind, let's do it this way." Songtsen Gampo said decisively.
Lu Dongzan wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Songtsen Gampo's firm eyes, he sighed helplessly, knowing that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only persuade him slowly in the future.

"It's true Xuan'er, the security in Chang'an is so good, why do I need anyone to protect me? I play cards every day, and you must find it boring to follow me," Zhang Qing said.
Guo Caiyue smiled and said: "Madam, this is what I should do. It's not boring at all. The little girl and I have a great time chatting. There's nothing boring about it."
Guo Lanhua was getting older, so Lin Xuan didn't arrange anything for her and just let her sit in charge of the Lin family.
As for Guo Caiyue, she was arranged by Lin Xuan to protect her mother.
In the past few days, Zhang Qing has returned to his old days, going to Xue's house to play cards every afternoon.
Xue Xiaoxiao learned some martial arts from Xue Rengui since she was a child, and she and Guo Caiyue chatted very well.
"You have such a sweet mouth, I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future." Zhang Qing said with a smile.
Because of her martial arts training, Guo Caiyue has a curvy figure, which is very attractive.
In Zhang Qing's eyes, she is the kind of woman who is very easy to give birth to.
If Lin Xuan hadn't been a concubine and couldn't take a concubine, she would have wanted Lin Xuan to take Guo Caiyue as a concubine.
"Madam, I am not as good as you say." Guo Caiyue said a little embarrassed.
Although she practices martial arts, she has a very reserved temperament.
When Zhang Qing said this, I naturally felt embarrassed.
