Chapter 191 Xu Yuan's Truth
When Mou En and the others were here, Li Qing never mentioned the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
It was not until all the people in the north returned to their own homes that Li Neng called Xu Yuan to his side and asked in detail about the big and small things that had been passed down from within the pass recently.
He has been fighting for the past two months, except for the first time when he learned that his father was going to be the queen, he didn't know anything about it afterwards.
"After the prince made Madam Hu the queen, according to the news from Chang'an City, I'm afraid the issue of the prince is to be discussed next. Now the court officials in the court are almost one-sidedly supporting King Guangping. In my opinion, it may be decided within one or two months, after all, Your Majesty's age..."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan shut up. Some things he and Zhang Xun could see. Although Li Neng had never explicitly stated that he wanted to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he didn't hold such a strong heart in his heart, why would he work so hard?
"Crown Prince... Isn't this just right for my father's wishes? Not bad! Although my brother is not strong enough, he is always thinking about making the Tang Dynasty good."
After Li Yan finished speaking this, he smiled softly. Xu Yuan frowned when he looked beside him. He stood there thinking for a long time, and finally couldn't help it.
He knelt down on the ground with a pounce, and then whispered: "Don't the prince want to fight for the position of the prince? Those civil officials in the court may not know, but Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others should know the ability of the prince! If there is no prince, can Sui Yang be saved? If there is no prince, can the two capitals be taken back so easily? If there is no prince, the Hebei Road is still in the hands of Shi Siming!"
Xu Yuan is indeed not very talkative, but this does not mean that he doesn't think about it. He is a firm mind. If he has identified the things and principles, he must understand them.
It is right for him, Zhang Xun and the other three to follow Li Yu, but Xu Yuan believes that even in the eyes of outsiders, as long as they understand Li Yu, they should know that Li Yu's ability is better than Li Yu in all aspects. But now there is a one-sided voice in Chang'an City supporting Li Yu, which makes Xu Yuan quite incomprehensible.
After hearing this, Li Jue still smiled and waved his hand and said, "Just be your prefect of Youzhou, why bother to discuss these things? The elder brother is the eldest son, why can't he be established? Now it's a blessing that the prince of our Tang Dynasty has not yet been decided. If this has been decided, then let those who are interested pass it to Chang'an City, we are all done."
If Xu Yuan had just met Li Yan, he would have not said much, but now he had already understood Li Yan's character and could vaguely guess what Li Yan was thinking in his heart, so he made up his mind and continued to say it.
"The prince should know that the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by strong enemies, weak national strength and insufficient military strength. It is no longer the dynasty of the Kaiyuan period that did not pick up the remains and closed the doors at night. In such an extraordinary period, extraordinary people and extraordinary strategies are required to reverse the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. King Guangping may be a wise ruler in a peaceful and prosperous era, but the current situation is only to make the Tang Dynasty survive for a few more years. If the prince lets such a thing happen, wouldn't it be a harm to the Tang Dynasty? He is obviously capable but inaction, and this is gradually moving away from the King Jianning who we followed!"
Xu Yuan's words finally changed Li Qing's expression a little.
The reason why he handed over such a large city in Youzhou to Xu Yuan was because although Xu Yuan was not good at martial arts, he was the most thorough and comprehensive person with the most thoughts and the most delicate.
Nowadays, some ideas that Li Wu didn't want to show so early, and under the sensational force of Xu Yuan, he had to leak some in advance.
Li Neng shook his head helplessly, stepped forward a few steps to help Xu Yuan to the bench beside him, and then stood beside him and spoke.
"Then do you think, if I want to be this prince, what should I do?"
Xu Yuan obviously thought of this problem countless times. When he saw that Li Neng had this idea, he quickly said: "This matter is very simple. Now almost all the limited military forces of the Tang Dynasty are in the hands of the prince, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. Your north, south and west are also very important places for the Tang Dynasty. As long as the prince writes a letter to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and the generals who have participated in the battle to recapture the two capitals together to express their attitude, they will naturally be happy to see the prince ascend to the position of the prince. They will unite almost all the generals to suggest that the prince become the prince. At this moment, Your Majesty has to obey the advice of the generals. Once the prince really becomes the prince, even if Your Majesty and King Guangping have some doubts in his heart, I think it can be resolved with the prince's ability!"
Although Xu Yuan was not a military general, he had already keenly realized that for the current Tang Dynasty, military generals were the foundation of the country, and no one who led troops was affordable to Li Heng.
Therefore, in Xu Yuan's eyes, Li Yan had accumulated enough on the battlefield before, at least enough for him to get the position of the prince. At Li Heng's age, the prince was almost equivalent to the emperor in their eyes.
"I admit that according to what you said, I can indeed get the position of prince, but I do not intend to do so."
When Xu Yuan heard the first half of the sentence, his brows stretched a little, but as soon as Li Qing said the second half of the sentence, Xu Yuan's brows immediately frowned tightly again.
"Why is this? Even if the prince doesn't do it for himself, can't he do it for the Tang Dynasty?"
Faced with Xu Yuan's aggressive words that were slightly out of line, Li Qing did not feel much angry, but sighed helplessly.
He knew that some of his thoughts might not be hidden forever. Xu Yuan and the others were almost the four people he could believe most in this era. He was not afraid of Xu Yuan's betrayal, so he decided to express his thoughts that had been hidden in his heart.
"Think about it, what should they do if Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and those generals who support me, really want me to become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Of course I went back to Chang'an City to explain to Your Majesty the contribution you made in these battles, and it means that King Guangping did not have any outstanding performance in the position of the Grand Marshal of the World!"
