Chapter 47 The Prince is here
Just as Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were welcomed by the people of Luoyang, entering Luoyang City, an elite Tang cavalry rested on a small hill on Yanshi to the east of Luoyang.
On the top of the hillside, three senior Tang army generals were sitting in a group.
Among them, sitting in the middle is a middle-aged general who looks nearly forty years old.
This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is extraordinary. Sitting there, he has an extremely majestic momentum.
Below his left hand, a thin middle-aged man dressed in Confucian scholar sat with a long beard and a very energetic look between his eyebrows and eyes.
On the right of the middle-aged general, there was another Tang army general sitting, who was tall and mighty, and seemed to be serious.
At this time, the middle-aged man dressed in a left-handed Confucian scholar spoke lightly: "Your Highness, I have already said that Pei Ji's plan is absolutely not acceptable! Now it seems that His Highness Qin has taken the opportunity to gain such a good reputation, but I am afraid that those who follow him will take the opportunity to come out and sing their teeth and claws again."
It turned out that the middle-aged man dressed up by the general in the middle was Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
After hearing the middle-aged Confucian scholar's words, Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and did not speak.
On the other hand, the general of the Tang army spoke impatiently: "Wei Zheng, you are just a hindsight. If you insisted at that time, your highness would not have agreed to use this strategy of giving up Luoyang City. Now, let the King of Qin be a good person, but your highness became a bad person. I have said a long time ago that as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, how could you abandon Luoyang before the battle? Let me make a decision. I will definitely fight to the death and will not give up Luoyang. What a 200,000 Turkic army, my 100,000 soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, but I am not a vegetarian."
The middle-aged general's words suffocated Wei Zheng slightly, but he had nothing to refute. He just frowned and explained, "Xue Wanche, how could I expect that His Highness, the King of Qin, could actually destroy the 200,000 Turkic army. So at that time, I saw that His Highness insisted on taking Pei Ji's strategy, so I wouldn't say much."
Seeing that his subordinates had the most powerful literary and military arguments over this issue, Li Jiancheng spoke up and mediated: "Wei Zheng, Wan Che, don't fight, the main responsibility for this matter is me, it's because I want to take advantage of it. But I have been curious about what method my second brother used to take Jie Li Khan's head so easily among the 200,000 Turkic army."
Li Jiancheng's question naturally could not get an answer, but Wei Zheng frowned: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, from today, no matter day and night, your personal bodyguard power needs to be greatly strengthened."
Wei Zheng's words were supported by Xue Wanche, and he nodded: "Indeed, the Crown Prince, the King of Qin is cunning and wise, extremely insidious. He does everything to achieve his goal. Although he dare not openly attack you, if he can easily take Jie Li's head among the troops, it is difficult to guarantee that he would not use this method secretly..."
After hearing what his two subordinates said, Li Jiancheng frowned even deeper: "Wei Zheng, Wan Che, my second brother shouldn't be such a person, right?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but shook his head: "Your Highness, you are always too kind. What kind of person is Your Highness King Qin? I believe you know better in your heart than me. Now, Your Majesty is old. In the entire Tang Dynasty, besides you being a legitimate heir, the King of Qin still has the opportunity to peek at the treasure. Although the King of Qin's victory this time is not enough to completely change his position in Your Majesty's heart, it will also expand his ambitions infinitely. Therefore, you must be careful. If you really have an accident, who else can compete with Your Highness King of Qin? Your Highness Yuanji is definitely not a match for the King of Qin."
Wei Zheng's words made Li Jiancheng hesitate for a long time, and finally nodded: "Wei Zheng, since that's the case, I will strengthen my guards in the future."
Seeing that his opinion was adopted, Wei Zheng's face relaxed a little, and he said, "Actually, your highness, according to my opinion, we might as well make an excuse for military affairs in Luoyang tonight's celebration banquet, so it's better not to go."
"No! I have to go to the celebration banquet tonight." Li Jiancheng flatly refused.
The expression on his face changed slightly, but Wei Zheng still made a bold statement: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm blunt, even if you really marry Li Ma Yu as you wish, you won't get the true support of Li Xiaogong! I think Li Xiaogong is determined to follow Li Shimin to the end. What's more, your highness's idea of marrying Li Ma Yu... is not necessarily able to get Li Xiaogong's permission now."
"No, Wei Zheng, you were wrong!" Li Jiancheng slowly stood up and turned to look in the direction of Luoyang City.
"Wei Zheng, at first, I did have the idea of marrying Li Ma Yu to gain support from the old subordinates of the Sui Dynasty and even Li Xiaogong. Unfortunately..."
With a long sigh, Li Jiancheng said slowly again: "It's a pity that after meeting Li Ma Yu three times, I realized that I want to marry her and succeed to the throne, and make her the future queen of the Tang Dynasty. It's not because of these reasons, but because I... really like her!"
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche looked at each other, and then shook their heads slowly.
Since Your Highness has said that, what else do they have to say?
Although Li Ma Yu is only Li Xiaogong's adopted daughter, strictly speaking, Li Jiancheng can be regarded as Li Ma Yu's cousin's uncle. The two are in their twenties. Although this difference in age and generation is not a big deal during the royal marriage.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so in love that he does not have the decision of a man who should make a decision to break if he wants to break. This is what they are most worried about.
Just this time, they all knew in their hearts that it was really a risk to go to Luoyang City when His Highness the Crown Prince, but unfortunately, in order to see Maggie Li, he ignored anything.
His Royal Highness’s personality is indeed his biggest weakness.
Both of them knew that Li Ma Yu, although she was young, she did have the style of being a mother in the world and had a very noble background. She was the youngest daughter of the former Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiao. Compared with Concubine Yang of His Highness, the King of Qin, she was not the biological daughter of Empress Xiao, and her status was even more noble. However, she was just a woman after all.
Xue Wanche, who was hesitating for a while, finally spoke: "Your Highness, in fact, in the opinion of the last general, what Wei Zheng said is very true. Your Highness is better not to go to Luoyang City this time. Anyway, your Highness has already made a public statement that Li Ma Yu is your future queen. I am afraid that no one in the Tang Dynasty will dare to take advantage of Your Highness's ruthlessness and approach Li Ma Yu. Wait for another year or two, and when your Highness inherits the position of Dabao, she is still yours."
"No, you don't need to say much, I'm determined! Let's continue to go to Luoyang City now, and we must enter Luoyang before today's celebration banquet." With a wave of our hands, Li Jiancheng walked towards the foot of the mountain.
Looking at each other again, Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche shook their heads secretly, quickly stood up, and left with Li Jiancheng.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin entered Luoyang City, the grand business held a celebration banquet that night, which was inevitable.
In fact, this celebration banquet should have been organized for Xiao Feng.
However, according to Xiao Feng's intention, he would not appear at this celebration banquet, and he had already agreed with Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong that the assassination of Jie Li Khan was only known by a few of them.
But when Li Ma Yu was wronged and looked at Xiao Feng with a grievance and begged Xiao Feng to accompany her to attend the celebration banquet, Xiao Feng hesitated.
Now Xiao Feng has some place for Maggie Lee in his heart, so he can refuse the invitation from Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, but cannot refuse this lovely begging, so he finally agreed to Maggie Lee.
Of course, he was not the protagonist of this celebration banquet, but he was just a guest of Maggie Lee.
After receiving Xiao Feng's promise, Li Mayu suddenly became excited.
Now Li Ma Yu has long been tying her heart on Xiao Feng. If Xiao Feng really put his face down this time and did not accompany her to attend the celebration banquet, then she would not know how sad she would be.
So, after Xiao Feng said goodbye to Li Maggie Li and returned home, Li Maggie Li hid in his room and played the guqin.
But now, Maggie Lee has long since disappeared from the sound of the piano, and some are just the joy.
Qu Tong Xinyi, a little woman who has been nourished by love, has tried the sweetness of love for the first time. If you want her to play sad songs again, it is probably a bit difficult.
But just when Li Mayu was in a very happy mood, Qing'er entered the inner courtyard in panic and knocked on Li Mayu's door.
"Second Mom, it's not good..." Qing'er said panting.
"Qing'er, what happened? I'm so panicked?"
Because he was in a happy mood, although he was interrupted to play the piano, Maggie Lee was not angry.
"Second wife, I heard Xiao Liu'er say that the Crown Prince has entered Luoyang City and has entered the Eastern Palace. He has sent someone to inform the General Administration of the General Administration and said that he would attend to tonight's celebration banquet."
Luoyang originally had a large-scale palace. Just a month ago, the Tang Dynasty decided to make Luoyang the capital, so naturally it also had the East Palace dedicated to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"What?" After hearing this, Maggie Lee's face suddenly changed.
"Er Niang, what should Xiao Lang do?" Qing'er asked with a frown.
Gritting his teeth, Li Mayu said with some angrily: "This Li Jiancheng is a blessing for his fault. He is still so shameless. I said that I will never marry him in this life. Even the queen of the Tang Dynasty, I will not be the queen of the Tang Dynasty. My father rejected him three times. He still entangled so much. It's really hateful. Forget it, I will ignore him. Today I will only accompany Xiao Lang, and I will not sell him the account if he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"But, I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to Mr. Xiao..." Qing'er said cautiously.
Thinking of this question, Li Mayu was immediately worried and gritted her teeth with hatred: "Yes, what should I do... but I can't implicate Xiao Lang."
Seeing Maggie Lee feel so uncomfortable, Qing'er also felt sad and didn't know what to do.
It was precisely because Li Jiancheng openly said that Erniang would be his future queen, but many young talents in the world did not dare to have any indifference to Li Erniang who was as beautiful as a flower, so that Erniang was sixteen years old, but she had not yet agreed to her husband's family.
Xiao Langjun may not know about this matter yet, but what if Xiao Langjun knows about this matter then, will he be scared away?
[Will Xiao Feng be scared away? Will he? Will he? Well... please vote...]
