"Your Majesty, I don't know. What will happen to the peace talks in the future? Should we follow the original plan, or should we change the original plan and join forces with Suli to attack Jieli? Please give me your Majesty's instructions." Cen Wenwen said softly, with a calm face.

But I didn't see anything strange. It seemed that I didn't see the move just now.

"Your Majesty, the national policy cannot be changed. Now our government's control over the Western Regions is gradually strengthening. Qin Yong has also captured Gaochang State. Our government has formed an effective offensive in the Western Regions. If we change the previous strategy at this time, all the previous efforts will be lost."

All will be in vain. As the focus of the imperial court changes, the advantage gained by General Qin Yong in the Western Regions will also lose support. The situation in the Western Regions will change greatly. I think this is inappropriate." Master Cui Ren was cold.

Heheng said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is extremely intelligent. I have nothing to say about this. However, His Highness the King of Shu is only one of the people participating in the peace talks. The main minister of the peace talks is Dou Yi. His Majesty also had the intention to let the Crown Prince

I just listen more and speak less, don't even speak, and leave everything to Dou Yi. Now the King of Shu not only makes arrogant remarks, but is also suspected of changing the court's decision-making. I think it should be dealt with."

"This situation is easy, and I have changed too." Fang Xuanling couldn't help but frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is an opportunity to support Tuli, and even send troops to the grassland on a small scale to attack Jieli, hum.

Huh, so what if Tu Li wins in the future? He is not Jie Li. Not only does he not have the skill of Jie Li, but more importantly, Tu Li does not pose a major threat to our Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, Jie Li

Talent is our great enemy of the Tang Dynasty. As long as this person exists, our borders of the Tang Dynasty will be threatened. I think that the performance of His Highness the King of Shu today is remarkable. It is not what Mr. Cui said.

Suspected of undermining His Majesty's established national policy."

"Your Majesty, I believe that at this time, the most important thing is to significantly weaken Jie Li's strength, and then we can discuss other matters." Du Ruhui also said: "Although His Majesty, His Majesty the King of Shu, is suspected of violating His Majesty's will, His Majesty asked His Majesty the Crown Prince and

Isn't it just for the purpose of cultivating your two highnesses that His Highness the King of Shu went to participate in the peace talks? Now that His Highness the King of Shu has performed well and greatly increased the prestige of our dynasty, it is a good thing. As for the national policy, it is impossible to talk about it. The national policy is not

It remains unchanged. It was originally planned to pacify the Western Regions first and conquer the Western Turks. Finally it was Jieli's turn. That was because we didn't know what Tuli was thinking, and Tuli didn't send anyone to contact us, the Tang Dynasty, so we formulated this policy.

, but it is different now. Tuli intends to unite with the imperial court to deal with Jieli, so our policy should also be changed, either to sit back and watch the tigers fight, or to still let it develop, or to follow our original decision

We will carry out the policy in accordance with the principles and policies. I also believe that His Highness the King of Shu did not make any mistakes."

"If this is really the case, which prince is your Majesty planning to marry?" Cui Renshi did not get entangled in this aspect. After all, Lu Zhaoci had already issued the imperial edict. If he continued to get entangled in this aspect, it would cause Lu Zhaoci's dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, this is not what Cui Renshi wants. What he needs to facilitate is another thing. As long as the King of Shu gets married, no matter how good he is, he will not be able to inherit the throne. In this way, the position of the prince will be as stable as Mount Tai.

"I'll go and see what the general has to say about this matter first. The general is old and spends all day fishing and admiring flowers at home. You all should go together! We just want to see it." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and shook his head.

Cen Wenwen and others did not dare to say anything after seeing this, but they admired Li Jing in their hearts. There are very few ministers who can be so trusted by the emperor. Although all of you here are known as important ministers of Xuande Palace, in fact, in terms of trust, I am afraid that

Not as strong as General Li Jinglai, not only did he become the king, but more importantly, he was trusted by His Majesty...

"I obey the order." Cen Wenwen and others did not dare to object, so they quickly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the troops. Everyone escorted Lu Zhaoci and walked directly towards Li Jing's mansion.

"Prince's Double Salary!" Located in the Prince Jian Gong's Mansion in Rare Benfang, it was originally the residence of the late Prince Jian Gong. After Prince Jian Gong passed away, Lu Zhaoci did not take back the residence, but gave it to Jing Jing.

Wang Lu Chengsi.

The incident at Wuying Hall spread throughout Chang'an City within an hour or two. People inside and outside Chang'an City were praising King Lu Ke of Shu for his wisdom and wisdom. In Xuande Hall, Lu Zhaoci's generous reward and words of praise for King Lu Ke of Shu were even more intense.

It spread throughout the court and inside the court in a very short period of time.

"This boy looks exactly like me!"

"Reward the prince with double salary!"

They were all praises for King Lu Ke of Shu. In private, some people compared the prince's performance in the peace talks with him. Some people even speculated that this was a sign that his majesty wanted to depose the prince. The rumors were even clear-cut, although this

Everything was just a rumor in the market, but if there were too many of these rumors, they would become true. When they reached the ears of King Lu Chengsi of Jing, it was as if the crown prince position had become something in Lu Ke's pocket.

"Your Highness, I have heard that Your Majesty is planning to make peace and let His Highness the King of Shu marry the daughter of Tuli from the grassland. If this is really the case, His Highness the King of Shu may not be able to become the crown prince. Your Highness is not worrying too much."

When Yi Bian spoke, it was a young man with a heroic face who was also a martial arts student, a young man named Cheng Gongying. He became Lu Chengsi's chief disciple.

"Humph, Gongying, you don't know that Gu Na's father is a person who doesn't follow the rules by nature. Even if Erlang marries a foreign princess as his concubine, what will happen? As long as Erlang meets the candidate in his heart, he can immediately depose him.

He can do this kind of thing without hesitation and make Erlang the prince." Lu Chengsi frowned and said, "It's because of people like him who don't follow the rules that we are where we are today.

The country of Tang Dynasty."

"Your Highness, don't worry." Lu Kuan said with a smile: "Your Highness is in the middle of the situation, so he doesn't understand his situation, but if His Highness jumps out, he will definitely understand the situation in front of him. Haha!"

"Sir, what do you say?" Lu Chengsi asked in surprise.

"There is only one position for the prince, but it has been decided in the East Palace a long time ago. That is His Highness the Crown Prince who is assisted by Cui. At this time, whether it is the King of Shu or His Highness, the biggest enemy is actually His Highness the Crown Prince. Hehe, the King of Shu at this time

He suddenly went crazy and got the Sacred Heart, but in fact he became a thorn in the side of His Highness the Crown Prince. From now on, Master Cui Ren will definitely set his sights on His Highness the King of Shu. I would like to congratulate His Highness here. From now on, I can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Okay, hey, think about it, your Majesty achieved imperial status back then, wasn’t it because of the discord and fighting among the Li family members, but His Majesty had already been lurking aside, taking advantage of the Xuanwu Sect’s changes, to achieve imperial status. Your Highness, now.

Isn't this the case? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Shu are fighting with each other, and His Highness can profit from it." This Lu Kuan can inherit the foundation of the Lu family in Fan Yang and win the final victory in that high-rise compound.

Victory, after all, is not an ordinary person, but it has advantages. He quickly analyzed the situation in front of Lu Chengsi clearly and accurately.

"What Lu Qing said is absolutely true." Lu Chengsi thought for a while, frowned, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, this is exactly what Lu Qing said. So according to Lu Qing's meaning, this

The king should be on hold now?"

"No, that is naturally impossible. If His Highness does not take any action, he will be forgotten by His Majesty and the ministers of Chang'an City." Lu Kuan said without thinking: "His Highness's identity determines it.

It is quite difficult to seize the throne, but it is not impossible, so it depends on what decision His Highness will make?"...

"How do you say this?" Lu Chengsi stood up and asked in surprise.

"I wonder if Your Highness knows the story of the former King of Qi of the Li family." Lu Kuan said with a smile: "Your Highness might as well learn from him. Maybe it will be of good use!"

"Li Yuanji, that loser?" Lu Chengsi said disdainfully.

"Your Highness, this Li Yuanji is not a simple person. It's just a matter of bad luck. If the timing was right, I'm afraid he was the one who had the last laugh during the Xuanwu Gate Incident." Lu Kuan shook his head.

He said: "Li Yuanji defected to Li Jiancheng back then, and the two of them planned to seize Li Shimin's military power by taking advantage of the Turkic invasion of the border. Your Highness, please think about it. If Li Yuanji succeeds, Li Shimin will die. Even if His Majesty seizes the country, it is impossible for him to do so.

It went well. Li Yuanji, who has soldiers and horses, will he take Li Jiancheng in his eyes? He will become the second Li Shimin, even more unscrupulous than Li Shimin. Even Li Yuan can't subdue him. So, he is the one who laughs

The last character."

"Sir, what you mean is to let Xiao Wang learn from Li Yuanji." Lu Chengsi opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Kuan in surprise. He didn't expect that this man would actually come up with such a plan for him, which made Lu Chengsi very happy.

It's surprise.

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince must be very concerned about His Highness's surrender." Lu Kuan nodded and said, "But it's probably not an easy thing to hide this from Master Cui Ren, an old fox."

"Yes, King Gu's younger brother, if Master Cui Ren hadn't been there to help, how would we be in today's situation. However, Master Cui Ren, this old fox, is very cunning, and it would be very difficult to hide it from him." Lu Chengsi nodded.

Nodding. He did not think that Cui Renshi, who could enter the Xuande Hall, was a simple person.

"Your Highness, the general believes that at this time, His Highness the King of Shu is your Highness's biggest enemy." Cheng Gongying couldn't help but said lightly: "Why don't Your Highness take this opportunity to launch an attack on His Highness the King of Shu? In this way, you will definitely be defeated.

His Majesty's accusation will give you an opportunity to join the prince's camp. Even if Cui Renshi is suspicious, as time goes by, Cui Renshi will naturally relax his vigilance, and this will be your highness's opportunity."

"That's right. As long as we hide behind His Highness, there won't be any problems. Even if others don't like His Highness, the spearhead will be pointed at His Highness. With His Highness standing in front, His Highness will be safe and sound.

"Yes." Lu Kuan also nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future. Hehe, it is impossible to control the army with his character. This requires someone who is proficient in the art of war to protect him. Your Highness, this is

This is your chance, Your Highness."

"Not bad, not bad." The gloom on Lu Chengsi's face disappeared, and he was filled with joy. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Tell me, where is my second brother now? I'll go and meet him right now.

He. Humph, my father always hopes that all the princes will unite as one. Once he knows that Gu has cut off the second son’s face today, he will definitely be furious. In this case, Gu will go to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Humph, I think so.

Father also knows that Gu has a bad temper, and even if Gu makes a mistake, he will not do anything to Gu, at most he will just give him a scolding."

"I'm afraid that at this time, the Second Prince is playing with Princess Tuli!" Lu Kuan said with a smile: "It's the right time for Your Highness to go. If Your Highness can win the favor of Princess Tuli, that would be the best. Hehe,

From now on, the hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry on the grassland can be used by His Highness. Even when things are in crisis, the Turks are still a good place, and Your Highness still has a chance to make a comeback."

"That's right, let's go and meet Erlang. He must be still feeling proud at this time!" A sneer appeared on Lu Chengsi's lips. He was just not convinced. Why did Lu Ke do everything in front of him and become the king?

It was also in front of him, and now he has such a good reputation, how can he endure it? Is it because his mother is the princess of the former Sui Dynasty? What makes people even more angry is that not even one of them was born in swaddling clothes back then.

This little thing is now a prince. If nothing happens in the future, he will be the emperor in the future. This is even more frustrating...

In Chang'an East Market, Lu Ke's face was full of annoyance. He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, his brows furrowed, and it was obvious that he had no joy at all. He had no idea why his father wanted him to come.

Accompanying this princess who came from the grassland, is it really determined that he will not be able to get married? If this is really the case, then there is no need. He praised himself so much today and rewarded himself with a princely salary. Among all the princes of the Tang Dynasty, except for

Apart from him, Lu Ke, no one else would get this benefit.

"Cousin, what do you think of this Dongzhu? My little sister has never seen such a big Dongzhu!" Ashina Yun's delicate face was full of joy. At this time, how did he look like anything?

The princess who went on a mission to the Tang Dynasty was basically a girl with longing and dreams.

"Isn't it just one Dongzhu? Turn around and I'll give you eight or ten of them." Lu Ke frowned, with a look of impatience on his face.

"Huh!" Ashina Yun wrinkled his beautiful nose and glared at Lu Ke with a slight dissatisfaction. Although Tujue was far behind the Tang Dynasty in terms of wealth, she was the apple of Tuli's eye and was deeply favored by him.

, not to mention Dongzhu, no matter how valuable it is, she can get it. The reason why she said these words in front of Lu Ke was because the drunkard did not want to drink with her. It was a pity that the people around him

This young man is not thinking about the love between his children at all, but thinking about how to use the east wind of these days to send himself into the sky, and from then on he will rise to the top and make great achievements. How can he pay attention to the Turkic princess!

"Your Highness, look, the eldest prince is here." At this time, Wu Yan on the side suddenly pointed to the distance and said to Lu Ke.

"Brother?" Lu Ke's face moved slightly, and he looked over, and saw a group of people galloping not far away. They saw angry horses in bright clothes. Although the leader was young, he had already shown his strength.

Extraordinary heroism, with murderous intent looming between his eyes. He was none other than Lu Chengsi, the eldest son of Emperor Zhenguan.

The person who came here is not kind!

Lu Ke's expression changed and he thought to himself. He saw that the direction in which Lu Chengsi was flying was towards him. Looking at the expression on his face, it was obvious that he was looking for trouble for him! It's just that he was so brazen.

, aren’t you afraid that his father will cause trouble for him? Today’s Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has more than ten heirs, all of whom are extraordinary. Because of this, Lu Zhaoci asked the princes to love each other, and he has always been concerned about brothers fighting against each other.

He was quite disgusted. If Lu Chengsi caused trouble for him at this time, he would probably be punished by Lu Zhaoci in the future.

"Erlang, I feel so comfortable!" Lu Chengsi glanced at Ashina Yun, with a hint of greed in his eyes. Although Ashina Yun was a grassland woman, she was very beautiful, even in the Central Plains.

A rare and beautiful lady, no wonder Lu Chengsi couldn't help but be fascinated by her grace, but he felt even more angry.
