"Don't you know?"
Li Yuan frowned and looked at Li Yuan tyrannically.
"Because of Li Jiancheng?"
"Haha! Since Yuan Ba already knew, why did you ask?”
Li Yuan smiled at Li Yuanba.
"It has already happened. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Do you know that you're creating trouble for the Great Tang by doing this? Do you know that because of your chaos, Tuyuhun led 50,000 elite cavalrymen south to invade Min Province?
In the previous incident, Jie Li Khan had personally led more than 100,000 troops south to Wugong, which was only 190 miles away from Chang 'an. If Yuchi Gong had not killed thousands of Turkic cavalry in the first battle, Chang 'an City would have been littered with corpses.”
Li Yuanba didn't like Li Shiming killing his brothers, but he knew that the Great Tang couldn't fall into chaos.
How many times had the people of the future dreamed of returning to the Great Tang? How many times had he wanted to come back and admire the glory of the Great Tang? This was the dream of countless Chinese people.
"Ha, ha, haven't you solved it now? Moreover, although the Great Tang is in greater danger now that I'm in chaos, it's not impossible to resolve. The Great Tang will not perish, but Li Shiming's coup has caused a great change in the upper echelons of the Great Tang. The consequences will probably be even more severe than mine!”
Li Yuanba shook his head helplessly. There was no right or wrong in this matter. There were only losers and winners.
"Yuan Ba, thank you so much. Thank you for leaving a bloodline for Jiancheng. Otherwise, Jiancheng would have been left behind!”
Li Yuan raised her glass and toasted Li Yuanba.
"It's nothing. It's just a small matter. However, it's you. Previously, Li Er said that he would hand you over to me to deal with. I never knew how to deal with you.
Do you have any ideas now? Or do you want to go somewhere? What did he want to do? I can arrange it for you!"
Li Yuanba said to Li Yuan.
"Since ancient times, those who rebel will only die. You are right, the Great Tang cannot fall into chaos. No matter what, I am still a member of the Great Tang Imperial Family. If I continue to live, I'm afraid that those who have other thoughts will also step in my footsteps and rebel!
Especially for some aristocratic families, they would probably be unconvinced long ago.”
Li Yuan said meaningfully.
Li Yuan was referring to the wealthy families in Shandong. For example, the most representative families were the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhao Jun, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Langya.
Of course, the Shandong here was not the Shandong Province of the future, but the vast area east of Xiao Mountain and Hua Mountain.
These families believed that they had the pure blood of the Han people. The most orthodox blood of the Han people flowed in their bodies. In addition, they represented the scholars of the world, so they thought that they were superior.
They looked down on the royal family of the Li Tang Empire, believing that the blood of the Hu flowed in the Li family. This thought also created the Guanlong and Shandong gentry clans that kept each other in check throughout history.
"You've realized it too late." Li Yuanba smiled bitterly. I think you should just fake your death! If you really die, my two nieces and nephew will be sad again.
When the time comes, I'll find a corpse to replace you!”
Li Yuan looked up at Li Yuanba in shock.
"Yuan Ba, won't Li Shi Min blame you for what you did?”
"He said it long ago. Leave it to me to deal with. Leave it to me whether you're dead or alive. Why do you care so much?”
"Haha! I didn't expect that I would still have a chance to live!”
Li Yuan smiled bitterly.
Li Yuanba stood up and patted him on the shoulder."My Imperial Residence lacks a chief historian. If you really faked your death, you can only come to me. There aren't many people in this world who know you, but there are also quite a few.
If you went to other places, some people would probably use your head to exchange for a future in order to please Li Er. Moreover, if you appear in my palace, I won't dare to say anything.”
·······
Li Yuanba left, leaving Li Yuan sitting there alone, staring at the figure in a daze.
After returning to his own residence to rest for a night, Li Yuanba had just woken up the next day when a servant came to the residence of Prince Zhao, saying that the Crown Prince had summoned him for a meeting.
After casually putting on a casual outfit, Li Yuanba headed to the Eastern Palace.
Guangtian Hall was usually the place where the Crown Prince studied and rested. It was also the place where the Crown Prince dealt with matters alone.
Today, Li Shi Min had gathered all his officials in Bright Sky Hall.
"Has King Zhao arrived yet?"
Li Shi Min sat in his seat and discussed with them for a while. Suddenly, he didn't see Li Yuan Ba, so he asked the servant beside him.
"His Highness King Zhao has not arrived yet!"
Li Shi Min frowned. Just as he was about to send someone to call him again, Li Yuan Ba walked in lightly in white.
He didn't look like a prince of the Tang Empire, but more like an artistic youth of the Tang Empire.
"Third brother, why are you only here now?"
Li Shiming was speechless. Li Yuanba was always the last to arrive.
"What's the hurry? It's not like we're in a hurry to eat. Someone, bring me a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea. Damn, I didn't even eat anything in the morning. I'm starving!”
Li Yuanba looked very unhappy, but Li Shiming's face darkened.
"Alright! Now, let's return to the main topic. Some time ago, Third Brother sent a letter saying that the Eastern Turkic Jie Li Khagan will lead his army south. Some time ago, Jie Li Khan had indeed led a hundred thousand troops south.
But this was only the first time. His third brother said that the Eastern Turks would soon lead an army south, and this time they would send two hundred thousand cavalry.”
Li Shi Min looked at the crowd and said,""Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, we will treat it as if it is true. If the Turkic cavalry attacks, how should we deal with them?
Chang 'an had more than 100,000 troops now, and that was when the Right Guards and the Left Guards returned. However, excluding the soldiers who stayed in Chang 'an, there were less than 80,000 soldiers who could fight.
And our Great Tang's troops stationed elsewhere are temporarily unable to return. If those armies were to withdraw, the world that had just stabilized might become chaotic again.”
Internal and external problems plagued the young Tang Empire. The world only thought of the Great Tang's illustrious reputation, but they did not know what difficulties Li Shimin and the officials of the Great Tang had encountered in the early years of the Tang.
The national treasury was empty, the army was weak, and the four seas were not at peace. Anyone who encountered such a situation would be in trouble.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, and the other civil and military officials in Chang 'an had no choice.
If the Turkic cavalry really did move south, they would only be able to defend.
After a while, Fang Xuanling slowly opened his mouth.
