Chapter 2 Pinggao Lize

"Xiang'er, don't mess around."

Li Chengqian was sweating profusely. He didn't believe that his son had any good strategy to pacify Goryeo. He knew his son better than his father. I guess you didn't even know where Goryeo was.

Li Chengqian wished he could silence his son. Just now, our father and I had a little chance of survival. Your grandfather might have spared our lives because of family ties. Now you are involved in some bullshit Ping Goryeo. You are running around in the East Palace every day. What can you do? It's weird if you know the strategy. It's over, it's over, this time you are really dead. If you can't tell it, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor! This is the imperial court, not your family’s kang. Grandparents and grandchildren are also kings and ministers! This time even the head was gone.

When Li Tai heard this, he also had a smile on his face. How could a teenager have a strategy to pacify Goryeo? It is simply nonsense. You two are not finished today?

"Why don't you listen to your father and stand down? Don't embarrass yourself here."

Li Tai said sharply.

Li Shimin also had a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He thought his grandson would become a blockbuster, but was he really just trying to please others? That's right, what can you do with such a father? If you had taken your grandson to the palace earlier and raised him yourself, it would be too late. Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly felt guilty towards Li Xiang.

"My nephew, I don't know. Is the second uncle of the imperial court making the decision now? Are you not allowed to say anything?"

Li Xiang's words immediately made Li Tai's face turn red. His nephew scolded his uncle for driving a wedge between Li Tai and Li Shimin, but Li Tai couldn't reply.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were a little disappointed just like Li Shimin, but when Li Xiang said these words, everyone felt that Li Xiang was right!

The emperor hasn't said anything yet, but you, King Wei, are obstructing you in every possible way. Even if the prince is deposed, the prince's position may not be yours. Even if you become the prince, you can't make the decision in this court!

Li Shimin looked at it happily. It's interesting. You have talent and scheming. Even if you don't have Ping Gao Li Ce today, you still have to cultivate this kid. However, when he glanced at Li Tai, his eyes didn't seem so warm.

"You little brat, I..."

As soon as Li Tai heard this, he immediately felt unhappy. He was about to beat someone. Your father's position as crown prince would not be preserved. You little bastard dared to sow discord between me and my father.

This guy is used to being arrogant and doesn't even look where he is. When he saw his hand raised, Li Xiang became happy. You, the city government, want to compete with us? Give it a rest.

"presumptuous…"

Seeing your second son about to hit someone, is this okay?

Everyone looked at the throne at this moment. The emperor usually favored King Wei and rarely scolded him like this. Today, for Li Xiang, he set a precedent.

Fang Xuanling's mind turned quickly when he saw this scene. As the saying goes, the old son, the eldest grandson, is the lifeblood of the old couple. Li Xiang is the emperor's eldest grandson. Although you, King Wei, are deeply favored by the emperor, you are born At that time, it couldn't keep up with Li Xiang's pomp.

"Your Majesty, since His Highness His Majesty's words are conclusive and we are helpless to do anything about it, why not listen to it and use it as a reference?"

Fang Xuanling is the prime minister of the imperial court, and his every move affects the direction of the entire imperial court. Normally, Mr. Fang is impartial among the princes. What happened today? Are you taking sides?

In fact, Fang Xuanling didn't take sides, but he could see that the emperor was quite interested in Li Xiang. As a minister, didn't he have to tell the emperor what he wanted to do?

"Xiang'er, tell me the truth. Do you two, father and son, really have a good plan?"

After Li Shimin's words came out, everyone's attention turned to Li Xiang. To be honest, the Goryeo incident was already a headache for the entire court.

The emperor sent troops to conquer Korea, which cost the people and money and caused heavy losses. It put a serious financial burden on the entire court. The people were also complaining, and a solution had to be found.

"As for Grandpa Huang, I don't dare to tell you good advice, but my grandson has little talent and little knowledge, so he still needs your help."

When Li Xiang spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the six ministers and other ministers in the court. Everyone's expressions softened a little. You know how to be a good man. If the plan works, everyone will follow the soup and not be called a bunch of waste by the emperor. But if it doesn't work, We can also pick it out. This favor of yours is not small.

"Father, father and son are just talking nonsense. They are playing tricks on the king and father, and discussing government affairs in the hall. They should be executed."

King Li Tai of Wei couldn't sit still anymore. He was about to depose the crown prince. How come there are so many things happening? Half of my butt is sitting on the crown prince's throne. Do you want me to pull him down?

Li Shimin looked up at Li Xiang again, meaning you have to show some real skills.

"Second uncle is pressing forward step by step. If the matter of Goryeo is solved today, would you like to have some luck?"

King Wei tried to stop him again and again, and Li Xiang originally thought of dealing with him later. Since you keep jumping out, don't blame me, my nephew, for cutting your flesh.

"How can you add any extraneous extravagance to a major event in the imperial court?"

"do you dare?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Li Tai saw the suspicious looks in everyone's eyes and knew that he could no longer retreat. Otherwise, he had no courage. A person without courage was destined to miss the prince. But looking at this boy's eyes, he seemed to be digging a hole for himself again. Well, not yet. Shallow, deep pit.

"If I solve the problem of Goryeo, I want your Nine Dragons Jade Pendant."

This jade pendant was known to Li Xiang. It is said that it was later sold for hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at Sotheby's auction house. In addition, it also has great symbolic significance. It was personally selected for him by Li Shimin and his wife on the day he was born. , built by countless skilled craftsmen from all over the world, is almost a symbol of the Wei Palace.

"You kid..."

If it were something else, King Wei would really agree. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he couldn't let others say that he was a bastard, but this jade pendant represented the entire Prince Wei's palace, but in this situation... cruelly, I'm betting, there's nothing wrong with measuring your kid.

"If you can't solve Korea's problems, you'll be dead."

King Wei Li Tai said sternly that although he was reluctant to part with this piece of Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, if he could kill his eldest brother and nephew in one fell swoop, the throne would be his.

These words meant that the bet was established. Li Shimin didn't say anything on the throne. He was a little disappointed with Li Tai in his heart. You only thought about courage, but since you know that some things are important to you, then don't win. Other people's plans are too reckless.

Li Shimin wanted his descendants to fight for national affairs, so that the entire Tang Dynasty would benefit, rather than the fight between Li Chengqian and Li Tai that harmed people and the country, so he did not stop it, and naturally others would not say anything.

Li Xiang gave King Wei a winning look. We killed two birds with one stone. He noticed the look in Li Shimin's eyes. If you agree to this, your father will think you have no brains. If you don't agree, the ministers will think you have no courage. Haha, play with me. ? You are still young.

Li Xiang walked to Changsun Wuji's side without talking nonsense.

"I dare to ask my uncle, what is the relationship between the powerful minister of the Goryeo Kingdom Gaeyuan Suwen and the King of Goryeo? What is the relationship between these two people and our Tang Dynasty court? My uncle and the adults from the Ministry of War have worked hard to arrange many spies in Goryeo over the years, right? Is it time to take action? Of course, the specific actions must be arranged by my uncle and all the adults."

Li Xiang regarded the strategy of pacifying Goryeo as a big gift package. Li Chengqian had almost no support within the court, just because he had offended all these people in the past, and now he was sending them out one by one, which could be regarded as improving the relationship between the two parties.

Changsun Wuji was a loyal minister of Li Shimin and the brother of Queen Changsun. He was a serious uncle of the country and played a vital role in the direction of the entire court. Without his support, it would have been difficult for Tang Gaozong Li Zhi to ascend the throne. Therefore, the first person Li Xiang wanted to curry favor with was him, the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion. If he could win over him, the victory would be half.

Li Chengqian is Changsun Wuji's first nephew. Changsun Wuji would not have given up on him if he hadn't gone too far.

In this era, information was not so smooth. When Li Xiang said the names of these two people from Korea, many people in the court looked at Changsun Wuji in confusion, but Changsun Wuji already had an idea in his heart.

"Your Majesty, His Highness's words are like enlightenment to the old minister. Gai Yuan Suwen has always been hostile to us in the Tang Dynasty, but the King of Korea has the intention to make friends. However, the King of Korea is young and has no real power. If we support the King of Korea , maybe the gap between the two sides will be narrowed, and then...this...this"

"Then internal strife and disputes for power continued, and internal strife intensified from the court to the army. Where did you find the strength to invade our border with the Tang Dynasty?"

Changsun Wuji's idea came up on the spur of the moment, so he hadn't organized the words yet, but Li Xiang had already made up for him.

"Haha, what His Highness said is true."

Changsun Wuji is a political person. After hearing Li Xiang's words, he laughed happily in the court. It is natural for others to be in this position. This important nephew can do things and place spies. No one took the matter seriously, and it was originally something that could not be brought to the forefront, but now everyone remembers Changsun Wuji's contribution.

The Goryeo Kingdom seems powerful and can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, but if there is internal discord and the king and ministers fight, it will not be obvious in the short term. In the long run, they will never be able to stop the next attack of the Tang Dynasty.

"Grandpa Huang?"

Li Xiang bowed and looked up at Li Shimin. This guy typically wanted to take credit.

"The plan is feasible and beneficial to the country. I will give you a reward of two hundred guan, a house, a purple and gold robe, and two horses, but it is not worth your second uncle's Nine Dragons Jade Pendant."

Li Shimin's meaning is very simple. You must have other strategies, otherwise you still won't be able to get the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant.

Hehe, we still have a backup plan, we can keep it to kill Koryo.

Of course, there is also Li Tai’s Nine Dragon Jade Pendant.
