The leader, Jie Li Khan, was already dead. Although Tuli Khan and the others still had the absolute advantage in numbers, in the face of Li Chengqian's charge, the sharp knives of the 300 Bei Wei Army, and the steady advance of the 100,000 Tang Army, the army no longer had any will to fight. They only cared about running for their lives.
The Tang army directly harvested the heads of the Turkic army as if they were harvesting food. It lasted from noon to night, and the corpses of the Turks on the other side of the Weishui River were strewn all over the place.
"Qilin son, qilin son, this is my qilin son!”
Seeing Li Chengqian's performance, Li Er could not help but burst out laughing.
Whether it was an ordinary citizen or an emperor, they would always be proud of their children's outstanding performance.
When the people at the side saw this, they hurriedly went forward to praise Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and Li Eryi became even more smug when he heard this.
At this time, Li Er seemed to have forgotten that a few days ago, this group of people were still requesting to change the Crown Prince because of Li Chengqian's arrogance.
However, just as everyone was praising Li Chengqian, the officials and eunuchs of the aristocratic families, represented by the Wang family of Taiyuan, became a little anxious.
No matter which emperor ascended the throne, they would inevitably be wary of the powerful aristocratic families and thus impose restrictions.
Whether it was Li Yuan or Li Er, they both wanted to limit the development of the great clans and prevent them from becoming too strong to threaten the rule of the royal family.
On the other hand, the Five Families and Seven Wangs enjoyed forming cliques to fight against the Emperor.
Because of the existence of the royal family, the five families and seven noble families had always been extremely united.
However, although Li Yuan and Li Er both wanted to restrict the great clans, they still had to take into account their reputation. There were many things that they would not say openly.
But Li Chengqian was different. He constantly expressed his disgust for the great clans.
The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs were all worried that if Li Chengqian ascended to the supreme position, he would kill the great clans.
This time, Li Chengqian had killed a member of the Wang family from Taiyuan in Huazhou City, and had completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the five surnames and the Seven Wangs. The five surnames and the Seven Wangs also wanted to use this reason to drive Li Chengqian out of his position as Crown Prince.
However, no one expected that Li Chengqian would actually make such illustrious military achievements. Seeing Li Er's proud appearance, the people of the five surnames and seven Wangs were worried.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince killed the Governor of Huazhou City indiscriminately…"
Cui Hao, the minister of the Ministry of War, gritted his teeth and said, knowing that he would make Li Er unhappy if he said this now.
"The Governor of Huazhou opened the city gates and let the Turks in. Governor Wang deserved to die. Qian 'er did the right thing!”
Li Er, who was still proud, would not blame Li Chengqian for this matter and directly said indifferently.
"But Your Majesty, Governor Wang is from the Wang family of Taiyuan.”
Cui Hao thought that Li Er didn't understand what he meant and quickly added.
Cui Hao didn't expect that his words would completely infuriate Li Er.
"Taiyuan Wang family? So what if it was the Wang family in Taiyuan? The Wang family of Taiyuan can easily betray our Great Tang, join the Turks, and harm the people of our Great Tang. Is this the world of my Li family or the Wang family? Or should I say that it's still your Qinghe Cui family's world?”
Li Eryi was already dissatisfied with the fact that these great clans liked to point fingers at the government, so he suddenly exploded.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. That's not what I meant!”
Cui Hao was shocked and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.
"That's not what I meant? What did that mean? Wang Gui, tell me, is it because no one dares to control the Wang family in Taiyuan?”
Li Er asked Wang Gui, the representative of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
"Your Majesty, the Wang family of Taiyuan wouldn't dare. Our Wang family has been abiding by the law for generations, and we definitely have no intentions of disobeying. Prefect Wang was corrupt and perverted the law, defecting to the enemy and betraying the country. The Wang family of Taiyuan did not have such a clansman. He deserved to die.”
Under such circumstances, Wang Gui hurriedly knelt down to express his stance.
"Humph!"
Li Er coldly looked at the two kneeling on the ground, snorted, and turned to leave.
The good mood that had been accumulated because of Li Chengqian's outstanding performance just now had disappeared without a trace at this time.
Li Er was very angry. The consequences were very serious!
Cui Hao and Wang Gui, who were kneeling on the ground, looked at each other and then nodded subtly, as if they had made an important decision.
"Cheng Yaojin, go and tell the Crown Prince to stop chasing.”
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin, who had gone out to kill the Turks, had returned and that Li Chengqian was still nowhere to be seen, Li Er issued an edict.
"Your Majesty, this subject has persuaded His Highness the Crown Prince, but he has not returned!”
Cheng Yaojin felt helpless.
"Then this time, bring Zhen's edict. I'll see if he dares to defy it.”
"Your Majesty, I used the decree you gave me yesterday, but His Highness didn't listen. He said he hadn't killed enough Turks.”
"Unfilial son, this unfilial son actually dares to defy the imperial edict? Did he think that he was amazing just because he had made some contributions? This unfilial son!"
Li Er directly cursed, as if he had already forgotten that just a moment ago, it was still him who was full of praise for Li Chengqian.
Cheng Yaojin felt like he was about to cry. The Crown Prince had defied the imperial edict, and he was the one who received the Emperor's furious roar.
No matter how Cheng Yaojin thought about it, he felt that he had suffered a huge loss this time.
